NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42: (1)
Looking towards the center, he noticed dozens of knights shining in dazzling scarlet plate armor.
They were peculiarly holding long spears instead of swords.
“…Throwing them into the sky?”
They relentlessly threw the long spears into the sky.
Paang!
Kwaaang!
As the scarlet knights threw their spears, there was a loud noise that resonated through the air, and the black masses exploded in the sky.
Those people were the ones who blocked the masses. It was precisely with those long spears.
“Wow! The Scarlet Knights are here!”
“Soldiers, aim for the monsters! The knights will handle the black masses!”
The Scarlet Knights.
Their name matched well with their scarlet plate armor.
The peculiar thing was that the knights used spears instead of swords.
“Well… they should have come out earlier.”
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have unnecessarily gone overboard. His face flushed with embarrassment.
“But still, I’m really relieved.”
The deep-seated despair was once again lifted from his heart.
Kaiyan was grateful that people would no longer die because of the black masses.
He felt like giving them toys as a gift, even if it was just one each.
“Huh… Now I remember. The Scarlet Knights use spears as their main weapon.”
The old knight spoke with an admiring tone as if he knew them.
“Sir, don’t knights usually use swords? Why do they use spears?”
Kaiyan calmed down his surprised feelings and asked the old knight.
He wanted to know who the heroes were who saved the Allied Forces. And also why they were knights but used spears as their weapons.
According to his common sense, spears were weapons usually used by soldiers, not knights.
“That’s right. Usually, knights use swords. But they chose spears as their main weapon. It’s because they are the Scarlet Knights who protect Panielun. Remember the knights who could hunt griffins? That’s them.”
“Because they protect Panielun.”
“They are a specialized knight order dedicated to protecting Panielun. They were created to hunt down large monsters that ordinary soldiers have difficulty capturing.”
Indeed, they were knights who existed to protect Panielun.
It wouldn’t have been easy for them to give up swords as knights.
Paang! Kwaeak-
Kwaaang!
“Kyaah!”
“Kiiyaaak!”
Once again, as the Scarlet Knights exploded the black masses with their spears, the harpies around were swept away in heaps.
They blocked the masses and also defeated numerous monsters with just one spear throw. An incredible achievement that was hard to believe.
“If they had known about the black masses beforehand, the fortress would not have collapsed.”
Their throwing skills could accurately hit the target even from a distance of over 200 meters. And the tremendous power as well.
Certainly, if the old knight’s words were true and they had known about it beforehand, the fortress would not have collapsed. It was useless to talk about it now, though.
“Hah… I see.”
As Kaiyan’s heart calmed down, anger surged from within.
How much mental agony did he go through because of those black masses?
He remembered what Uncle Jeff told him when he first met him on the battlefield.
If something happens to you, don’t hold back.
“…Pay them back ten times, a hundred times.”
If the Scarlet Knights were responsible for defending the Allied Forces, his job was to attack.
“I’ll target the harpy queen, the leader of the harpies.”
Currently, the harpy queen was arrogantly observing the overall situation from high above.
To defeat the harpy queen, he first needed to lure her down to the ground.
“Shop.”
He called forth the all-purpose treasure chest, the shop.
Thanks to the purchase of the magic scrolls, he had 275G remaining.
“To capture her, even if I have to use all the remaining G… Intermediate toys instead of low-grade.”
[Intermediate: Can’t You See Me?, You’re It!, Don’t Move, I’m the Police!…]
Intermediate toys, a whopping 220G.
Just like the low-grade toys, they had peculiar names.
He had gained tremendous benefits even with the low-grade toys, so he wondered how the intermediate ones would be.
“Show me the first one.”
[Can’t You See Me?: Intermediate toy, shouts ‘Can’t You See Me?’ while using the toy to cover the body, usable once, conceals the user’s body from the surroundings naturally for 10 minutes, blocking not only sight but also sound and scent.] [160G]
It wasn’t what he wanted, but it was a good item. Especially useful when running away or sneaking somewhere.
“Well… It’s good, but I don’t need it right now. Next.”
[You’re It!: Intermediate toy, forces the designated target to become ‘it,’ the person who becomes ‘it’ will chase the user for 10 minutes against their will, limited range of 500m, the function is deactivated regardless of the remaining time when the ‘it’ makes contact with the user, usable once by shouting ‘You’re It!’ while looking at the target.] [220G]
“If it’s this one…!”
As expected, it was an impressive toy that didn’t disappoint. Such an amazing function.
Although it was intermediate, it seemed really good.
The only thing that bothered him was the relatively high price of the toys compared to the scroll.
Of course, he had no intention of saving G to capture the harpy queen, but it was a bit amusing to think that the toy cost 220G.
“…For now, let’s purchase it. I didn’t expect that one day I would buy toys at a higher price than the techniques manuals.”
Even now, he was using the Maeslin Aura Manual that he had purchased and was using, which cost only 180G. But the toy was 220G.
“But… Why does it look like this?”
The shape of the purchased toy resembled a flower.
It was a small stick about 20cm long with a round bead attached to the end, and there were delicate, fluttering pieces of cloth arranged at regular intervals around the bead.
It was a relief that the people around were looking at the sky because of the monsters, otherwise, it could have been a big problem. He had been too relaxed because the toys he had purchased so far were small in size.
“…I should be careful with the scrolls too.”
Once again, Kaiyan gathered his determination and looked up at the sky to use the toy. At that moment, the harpy queen was also looking in his direction. Of course, she wasn’t looking at him directly.
“Don’t arrogantly stay in the sky. You’re it.”
Swoosh-
As he shouted, “You’re it,” the toy disappeared from his hand. It didn’t fly away or anything, it simply evaporated.
