Vermillion

There is no sin on horses.

But a merciless sabel roars.

On the brown horseback, a numb red line ran.

Irene runs, listening to the blood scattered and the screaming. Horseback riding with the momentum of the rampage falling intact as well - feeling the impact of a large mass of flesh being slammed over the earth over the boot.

The horse thief he was riding was thrown out of his saddle as he summoned and scattered something, and he fell to the ground. And without a glance, Eileen stares in front of her.

Approaching silver blade.

A subsequent horseman rolls out his spear relentlessly in the face of Eileen.

Turn your body back and avoid on a piece of paper. Eartips that determine the sky, wind pressure shakes the hair.

And I didn't just avoid it, I dragged my left hand on the spear pattern. Pull in further acceleration to Eileen. Conversely, it greatly disrupts the user's posture on the horse.

"Wow."

On the face of the horse thief who fell in about a mile, he tapped into the pattern of the right hand sabel.

The unpleasant feeling of Gollung. Crushed tooth fragments spit out mixed dull black blood, horse thieves rolling on the ground. Step on that body and jump on the empty saddle.

"Well, well!

Suddenly, in an attempt to forgive the Lord for replacing and confusing horses, Eileen pulled the reins and tried to control them. but soon he feels blatant killing, depositing his full weight in the jaws and hanging on the left side of the horse like a bender.

Doh, doh, make a dull noise, and an arrow pokes at the right torso of the horseback riding. Eileen quickly jumped back and took a distance before falling horseback riding underneath.

Relentless shooting.

A few new riders are aiming at us with an arrow to the compound bow.

The tongued Eileen runs further.

One of the enemies. Stopping the movement means death.

He slammed down the flying arrow with a sabel and watched Hiraki Kai. I am surrounded and attacked by bow cavalry just like myself. The decisive difference with Eileen is that Kay himself isn't that maneuverable. Sasquatch seems to have already let him get away with it, and he doesn't look like it.

But also in the distance.

I found a few arrows standing on Kay's body.

――――

In front of me, an illusion that stains bright red.

"- Ohhhhhhh!

The status quo, where you can't move as you would think surrounded by miscellaneous soldiers, anger, frustration over it, feeling worried about Kay, sadness, all mixed up and beastly screaming out of your mouth.

"Temee lah, I'm in the way. WOW!!

Bark. But never mind, as if trying to crush Eileen, a horse thief stormed in line. Slipping through between them, Irene waves the blade in anger. A horseback rider with his legs cut off rolls to the ground and the riders fly away.

But I have no idea.

As the next cavalry comes, the fallen horse thieves are gathering around with their own weapons.

Avoiding the arrows flying from all directions, like a sword dance, he slapped them off, and Eileen strove to get a grip on the war situation by circling her neck.

Horse thieves are decreasing in number, but that was the same for the caravan side. Several carriages burn up like pine lights, and corpses rolling around like halibut with arrows poking at them. The warriors of the escort also seem to be struggling, but the temper of the slashing personnel of the horse thief who turned into a dead soldier is also tremendous.

- Do you want to keep running?

The thought turned my head, but I immediately dismissed it. Indeed, Irene's all-powerful disease is faster than a bad horse. But then, by the time we get to Kay, we'll be in a tight spot, and most importantly, we'll be attracting the enemy as it is.

Then what do we do?

- It's decided.

Soon, the arrow rain stopped. Walking horse thieves surrounding Eileen's quarters. I suppose you guessed you couldn't stop just by releasing an arrow into the blind law. And in the rain of arrows, the warriors cannot challenge the White Soldiers.

I mean, that's the thing.

A warrior of the people of the meadows who pull swords one after the other.

Under daylight, the song knife gleams.

Eileen bit her teeth.

"……… Temehe and the others chose."

Yes, this was a balance.

On one side are the lives of the horse thieves. Kay's life on the other side.

- I don't even have to compare it.

"- If I can get in the way."

There is strength in the hand holding the sabel.

The illusion that the numb air freezes.

The horse thieves surrounding Eileen uniformly stretched their faces.

Standing around from earlier, I know that the girl in front of me is not the only one.

But still.

From the presence of just a strong enemy, there's another stage where it feels like we've stepped in.

"- Die."

Icey pale eyes, looking.

The mud at your feet explodes.

Hiu,.

Silver light.

- Cut it off.

The warrior of the people of the meadow, one of them, was overflown.

There was no preliminary motion. It just looked like a black coat and long blonde hair flipped. Without even making you feel murderous, it's just that in front of a slowly leaning, neckless body, only the appearance of a girl with a sabel tells the true story of what happened.

Pimp, and - strained air.

That's a really momentary thing.

a drop in clear water, slightly killer seeped as if ink had dripped,

"Fast!"

The warrior beside the stunner, that became the will.

He is beheaded by the black wind blowing through him again. Faster than a blood splash sprays up, Eileen targets her next prey.

"This guy!

A young warrior who stood in front of Eileen tries to take a blow with a song knife. But just before the blade and the blade try to meet, the orbit of the sabel turns threadably. The fine light blinked in front of me.

A songknife dances through the universe.

- What happened?

I don't think we lost. Strange for that. It feels like the blade and the blade have met, but it's not in my hands.

- No, it's not.

I have no hands.

The pattern of a song knife that rolls onto the ground from a tease has its own hand gripping it.

While she was distracted, the girl in black approached her. You can't even make it to the pain, you give me back my left hand to the spare dagger, but there's nothing there. Why? A place of confusion. At first glance, it fell into Eileen's hand. It was in her throat.

Guru, the sound of a decision.

With a mixed groan of water, the young man sinks into the mud as he holds his throat in safe hands. Still, Irene doesn't stop. It doesn't even give the fallen a glimpse. Just ask for speed, efficiency.

And yet, like when I was in the [DEMONDAL] world.

Just a decidedly different, desperate shape to that face than back then.

"Back off. Yep, yep!!

Eileen's cry was no longer like a scream.

A brisk silver and red whirlwind.

He was decapitated, his belly torn, his heart chopped - the warriors scattered in the blood wind.

Irene runs. I can't stop once, I can't stop. Always move, flirt, mow the enemy in front of you like just a figurine or something, unconstructively.

Irene, who in an instant broke through the siege of the warriors, hits and runs towards Kay.

"Wait!

"You little girl!

Two rides from the front, coming in. A horse with a spear in his hand and a horse with a bow.

Blunt kill. Wave the sabel and slap down the flying arrow.

- You think you'll be fine.

Without any basis? I still don't know, and a cold, and too cynical, grin appeared at the edge of Eileen's mouth.

Otherwise he jumped up the mud, while Irene, accelerating in reverse, penetrated directly from the front. Without hesitation, tuck the blood-coated sabel into your mouth and pull the throwing knife out of your hips belt with both hands.

Throw.

Flying silver lights poke at the foreheads of two horseback riders without different dimensions.

Two horseback rides that fall without screaming and one that is thrown out in the air.

Eileen must have swung and danced in the air. Slap the two thrown together and run through without slowing down.

From behind, the sound of hooves and multiple footsteps. They're trying to chase him down without sexual punishment.

The frustration was reaching its peak.

At the end of his vision, he sees Kay, surrounded by horseback riding, struggling even as he receives an arrow. Apparently, he's taking the enemy's compound bow and fighting it. Why not use "Dragon Scale Throughout"?

No.

I don't care about that now.

Fast for a moment, just fast...

"!? That's uhh"

But more than that, Irene was no longer likely to need to run.

From the front, brown hairy horseback riding.

It's an empty horse. I'm not putting anyone on it.

I thought it belonged to the horse thief who lost the Lord, but it wasn't. Characteristic forehead.

"Sasquatch!!

It was a sasquatch to hide what came running on. "You need my help! It seems like he is just saying," but his complexion feels cloudy.

"Run away!

"My brother's revenge!

It's because of the horse thieves chasing them from behind. "The flying tool is a little……" said Irene with a weak sasquatch on her ass, suddenly stopping and taking up the interception setup.

The chaser is a three-horse bow cavalry and about five walking warriors. Eileen tightened her face with a slight effort, but not the person she couldn't do it with - but, furthermore, she smiled bitterly when she saw behind it.

"- It's late, darling."

Heavy, hoof sound. And the screams of the horse thieves.

"What is it?!? Guh."

The chaser's bow cavalry, the arrow tip the rearmost horse tried to look back at, the spear suddenly raw on its chest (...) eh (...) ru (...). From the chest of a horse thief who fell to the ground powerless, the thrower pulls the spear out and retrieves it.

'- I'm sorry, I took the time to get ready!

Running from the rear to follow Eileen is - a few rides of heavily armed cavalry.

Piotr and his people.

Most of the rides that each crosses are covered with scaled armor (Skyle Mail), and the forehead is applied, which considerably strengthens the defense. It's too heavy for horse strain. I don't normally use it, but I guess I only prepared it assuming it was against the bow cavalry. Unlike when he was out in the scouts, Piotr also wears a helmet and sheet-metal armor, and has spare spears in his horse's saddle.

Piotr's horse spear and the pursuit of his companions promptly annihilated the horse thieves who were chasing Eileen.

'Thanks, that helps!

While jumping on Sasquatch, Thanksgiving is there. Eileen rushes to Kay. It's just a waste of every second. Such a situation. I just knew that, and Piotr just nodded small too.

- Just make your expression rude around being confused.

"You guys go too. I'll keep this place under control."

Put up a spear immediately and show Irene to the warriors around you. Heavy cavalry and handsome light warrior flying out of the caravan. If that were to go to cover a Gentile bow cavalry that destroyed a separate squad, there's no reason for the horse thieves to shut up and drop it off.

"Whoa! Don't die on me, too!

"I can't just leave you alone, miss!

"It's a good idea to abandon all the active guys."

What I followed about Piotr was, oddly enough, a threesome that accompanied Kay to the quarantine a few days ago when he claimed to have put Houndwolf on hold.

Dropping off the three horsemen running after Eileen, Piotr also runs out again.

The flying arrow was speared off and stared forward. Arrows fly sporadically from earlier, but they don't seem to be able to penetrate the horse clasp unless they are so well hit with a combined horse thief bow.

"Hmm... I won't let you live."

Seeing horse thieves pulling swords one after the other, Piotr laughs invincibly.

With Irene and the others on their backs heading for Kay's cover, Piotr's roar was undone by the fierce sound of metal meeting.

†††

"Knock, knock."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He stares at the horse thieves surrounding him with a composite bow he took from the enemy's body.

Already, there are many arrows all over your body. A few on the back, three on the thighs, two on the chest and two on each arm. The sieging horse thieves also looked drawn to saying, "Why won't he fall down?"

That would be the case, too. Normally, it's a dead wound rather than a fall. Kay's failure to die can be fatal, but for one thing it was due to a high magic drug (hyppotion).

Suddenly, just after my body stopped moving and fell out of Sasquatch. In anticipation of the horse thieves' pursuit, Kay kept some potion in his mouth in advance.

He was a horse thief who punched a few arrows into the fallen Kay and tried to pierce the spear to stop him - Kay used this the other way around. He was forced to wake up on the verge of being stabbed and, conversely, pulled a spear to bring it down and hit back with a long sword. Several nearby horse thieves were then also used as bait for bows and arrows.

From there, it's a rain of arrows from all directions against Kay alone. Fortunately, the horse thieves would have already used up quite a few arrows because of the shootout Kay had set up.

It was unclear how effective the oral intake potion was against the trauma, but it became a feather to be tried in the earthen pit. In conclusion, it's not bad. The wound is healing slightly slowly but the damage to the flesh is twitching and repairing. At least it would be worth it just to say that it can avoid burning sores (juwawawawawawawa).

Now he knows the wound won't heal completely, leaving the arrow stabbed at his body to spook the enemy. Sometimes when it comes to the arrows on your back, you can't pull them out on your own.

(but troubled)

My body doesn't move as much as I think. It's like I've had a fever.

When I was a little girl, I remember pneumonia from an infection in the hospital. It erodes the body, the heat, and the feeling of bumps and the whole body hurting - it all resembles an array. I've never had it, but is this how the flu feels?

The cause can be inferred. Probably an evil eye by a Dead Bird (Plague) contractor. In a world compliant with [DEMONDAL], this is the only thing that results in such symptoms.

Physical discomfort is a curse (debuff) that reduces physical abilities. General pain will be continuous damage. Ever since earlier, I have felt a red light on a tree stand far away. The evil eye of the dead bird acts directly on the person who saw it and is inevitable as long as the gaze passes, but the source can be perceived as red light from the person who was the object of the evil eye. Perhaps there's an evil-eyed user lurking in that tree - but as in fighting back, he can no longer pull a "dragon scale through" in Kay as he stands because of his muscle weakness.

Fortunately, even if the physical abilities are reduced by the curse (debuff), the combined bow of the horse thieves can be handled with difficulty because it has the same strength as that of an adult male. That's one of the reasons why even if Kay is weak, the horse thieves won't attack us. A few times earlier, the horse thieves were trying to kill Kay with a horseback run, but each time they were repelling this with a series of bow shots.

After that, I expect Kay to bleed to death, and he just hits me with an arrow as he circles around. Those who can take leadership and those who are brave are crudely hunted by Kay. Only such passive methods of warfare could be taken, only the cowardly ones were left behind.

But Jiri's poor.

There are few potions left, and no back arrow wounds are supposed to spill on the boulder. No matter how much the wound healed, there was a limit to how long the arrow remained stabbed. Even more he manages to hide it in his cape, but Kay is also losing heart for the rest of his arrows - his enemies will run out of ammo as well, and if he is challenged to battle the White Soldiers, it will be quite unsavory. A lot of people are passive.

Earlier, he slaughtered his opponent, who had set up a melee while he was still healthy, so he was resistant to approaching for fear of it - and Kay looked at the body rolling beside him. Taking into account the curse (debuff), I beat the head of each leather helmet with a long sword and left it to me anyway, making it look as bad as a pomegranate.

And, shooting again.

One arrow plays with a helmet like a head poke, a few deviate with a hand and a bow, and the last one is taken with a chest. The thick leather on the chest plate part kills the momentum significantly and eats into the clasp below it, but is not powerful enough to penetrate it. However, because of the shock of Dosung, "Gyu" leaked a bitter voice.

"Come on, die. Yeah, yeah!

Seeing that as an opportunity, or a horse thief pulling a song knife out of his back tries to set it up, but when Kay sets up a composite bow, he flips it in a hurry.

Whether it flipped or not, it was within the range of the bow, but it is reaching an area where accumulation of damage is dangerous because of the evil eye before the arrow wound. Due to blurred vision and shivering arms, I can't even aim for much.

(How about…… If you stay like this, you will be shredded to death by a curse……)

My consciousness fades. I can't even deal with the arrows that have been showering horse thieves, and the sharp pain runs on my thighs and shoulders.

At that time, however, Kay felt that the sound of the new hooves gradually increased.

"Ke- Yikes!

And the voices I'm used to hearing there mix too. Had I raised my face, I could see Eileen spanning Sasquatch and the heavily armed cavalry following him.

Oh. I feel the depths of my heart unwavering. Relief sigh.

but the opposing Eileen was far from relieved. An arrow stabs him and looks at the worn out Kay, Irene's eye butt hangs. That's exactly the shape of a demon or a ghost - at least it was the least of the faces Kay has ever seen.

"My lord, my lord, my lord!

An exasperated Eileen leaps as she thinks she stood on Sasquatch's saddle.

Irene, who flew to the horse of the horse thief in too aggressive a move to call it a light business, flew the rider's neck with a sabel as it was.

Seeing that, it was Kay who made her face strong.

Without much hesitation - I guess. She's already slashed a few of them.

And Kay felt that in a situation that forced it on her loved one, there would be - mundane and dark anger gushing at the horse thief.

"Oh, hero. Is he alive?

'You don't seem so easy to screw up!

I'm here to help you with your sword!

A threesome of heavily armed cavalry rushed a little late, smiling and talking about something, but I don't know because it's Russian. But Kay, who thought it wouldn't be bad content, only returned "spa sweeba" with a tired grin. The feelings seem to have been conveyed, and the threesomes chase away the horse thieves who have been left with less while laughing gahaha. The arrows released from the composite bow were not objects, but were paid off at a price, or stormed while bouncing off with clams or armor, as Kai now calls it, reliable as a military god.

"Kay! Are you okay!

With a bloody sabel in one hand, Eileen jumps from Sasquatch rushing over.

"Somehow."

"That's a terrible injury...... sorry, sorry Kay"

Kay accidentally smiled bitterly at Eileen, who looked like she was about to cry, turning away from the look on her youthful face earlier.

But above all, I appreciated it. I had a lot to say.

"Thanks, Eileen. Thanks."

"This, are you drinking potion? In the meantime, I'm gonna pull the arrow off your back."

"Please.... ng gu"

Zuchu, and the pain of being pulled through the arrow unwittingly flaunts his face. Eileen seemed extremely sorry, but it just hurts to do it slowly, so she quickly pulled the arrow out of Kay's entire body.

Remove the bottle of potion from the lumbar pouch and swallow further to restore health.

"But we still have troublesome enemies."

Kay stares at the trees. It's too early to be relieved. Even during this period, the Evil Eye Curse (Debuff) has not been broken. There are limited means of stopping evil eyes. Two things: block your gaze, or kill the surgeon.

At present, cursing can be reduced considerably by putting up a cape, but the cape is one of Kay's gear, so the effect of blocking the curse is now one. If I could at least put a big shield in the wall, I could block my gaze almost entirely.

"A nasty enemy?

"It's a dead bird. That's pretty high, too."

Eileen seemed to understand everything when she said she couldn't use Dragon Scale Throughout because of the debuff.

"Where are you from?

"It's that tree."

I'll clean it up.

Eileen, who whistled her fingers in pie, accidentally knelt on the spot, even as she tried to call Sasquatch and rush out.

Instead, Kay's body lightens up softly.

"Gu, ah, shit, tight......!

Irene getting up fluttered. Apparently, the enemy changed the object of the curse from Kay to Irene. Kay picks up the "dragon scale through" rolling at his feet, but at that moment, the curse flies to Kay.

"Gu......"

"Chickshaw, that wooden one!? I can see that............!

Irene, freed from the curse by a replacement, leaks a remorse.

"I can't believe it completely penetrates our magic resistance..."

Eileen, holding down the Talisman of the exorcism on her chest.

"It's not a barrier."

Try to roar, and Kay answers too. There are two types of Talismans: disposable types that prevent certain damage, called 'barrier types', and permanent ones that increase the magic resistance of the owner itself. Kay and Irene are using the latter. Persistent types are more valuable and expensive than barrier types, but Kay's physical (avatar) resistance in the first place made it more efficient to fortify them.

But it's less effective against magicians who are much higher than they are now dealing with.

"Damn, what do we do, Kay!?

Eileen looks at Kay. From earlier on, the evil eye is focused on Kay, but Irene is switching to you the moment she tries to move. Fortunately, due to the nature of the evil eye, the two seem 'invisible' at the same time.

"…… Eileen, how about going from side to side instead of going straight in"

Fishing around his chest, Kay shows him the route to circle with his jaw.

"... I see, so that it takes some time to get my gaze back... Right?

"Either I strike an arrow first or Eileen slashes it first."

"Kay's arrow must be his destiny, right?

"Sort of."

Kay, pulling the neck chain and putting out her own talisman, laughs niggly.

"It's useless anyway. I'll give you one shot."

Talisman can also be an excellent magic catalyst.

It's a long way to the tree. Accurately shooting through the Lord of gaze from here is impossible even in the boulder Kay - but with an assistant in magic, the story was different.

"Can you help me? Eileen."

"I don't even have to be told. Hey, hey!

As Kay reaches for the arrow barrel, Eileen kicks the ground out like a wind.

I did feel the evil eye poured from the tree, as I was confused, blew between Eileen and myself -

Kay darkened his fierce grin even more.
