chapter 23
Episode 23 The Lawless Zone Thieves
‘Ignis.’
Blue flames rose from Krashu’s sword that hit the wagon floor.
As much as Ignis is the flame of a higher god, it also possesses the power of purification.
‘That’s what I mean.’
Suddenly!
The cut black man was engulfed in flames and melted in an instant.
‘It means that he has a very good compatibility with black people.’
Without hesitation, Krashu began to cross between black humans.
Seeing that the merchant woman also quickly took a stick and broke the black man, it seemed like there would be no problem.
“Crimson Garden.”
However, there were only this many black people.
If so, there must be unpurified world erosion nearby.
[ 300 Meters in a straight line. ]
It’s not too far away.
“Hey, I’m going to erase the world erosion that created the black man, so I’m dealing with it.”
“Yes! Please!”
Krashu immediately gathered the aura under his feet.
Then, as he hit the floor, his body exploded.
The number of black people increased the more Krashu ran.
But there was nothing they could do in front of Krashu’s Ignis.
In an instant, Krashu arrived in the forest and saw the lumpy world erosion.
The sight of the black liquid mixing between the trees and spitting out gas was, at first glance, unresolved erosion of the world.
“I’m going to swallow it.”
Crimson Garden, who followed me, sat on a branch and asked.
“Yes, because he showed up at the right time.”
Krashu stretched out his hand toward world erosion without hesitation.
Then black energy began to flow through Krashu’s hands.
In Krashu’s body, there is already world erosion due to extreme blood poisoning.
That’s why Krashu, who absorbed it without much resistance, exhaled once.
Luckily, thanks to my sixth sense, madness did not occur.
With this, there won’t be any more black people.
That was the way Krashu returned.
“Krache.”
Krashu stopped at the call of Crimson Garden.
As I raised my head through the woods, I saw a few people along with a merchant woman.
They surrounded the merchant woman, and she brandished her baton menacingly.
“Where are you trying to get your hands on my wagon! Get out of here!”
“Let’s help each other and live. All those who pass through the lawless zone are friends.”
“Yeah, please play the role of my lower girlfriend. Giggle.”
They looked like bandits.
But don’t dismiss it as an ordinary thief.
Because walking around in a lawless zone means that there is at least one strong person among them.
“Good.”
In the meantime, Crimson Garden smiled grimly.
“Dungeom, isn’t it perfect for practice?”
Thinking that he had chosen his master well, Krashu slapped his neck.
“I agree.”
Let’s warm up before going to the martial arts competition.
* * *
There are a total of eight thieves who mainly aim for wagons that pass through the lawless zone.
Among them, Orel, the leader, swallowed the salivary glands of the merchant woman.
Women seldom went to the lawless zone, so she was hungry.
“Hey, you guys, I come first.”
“Anyway, Captain, you are very greedy. Just don’t write dirty.”
“This is my heart.”
He swung the ax of the monstrous size lightly.
It was a way to show how strong his own power is.
The merchant woman also looked nervous when she saw that.
It was a mistake not to pay attention because the bell rang because of the black people.
In the meantime, I never thought the thieves would approach like this.
It was possible to deal with the other guys, but with that captain added, it was impossible alone.
Dubuck-
At that moment, footsteps echoed.
The merchant woman noticed the identity of the footsteps and showed a bright color.
The thieves, noticing her reaction, belatedly looked back.
“Huh? Little?”
There was a boy standing there.
The moment when one of the thieves had doubts.
Puff!
The sword flew in a straight line and pierced his head.
For an instant, the surroundings became quiet.
Because no one thought that the little boy would throw his sword and kill the thief.
“Damn it, the enemy! Kill!”
As a captain, Aurel was quick-witted.
The boy realized that he was no ordinary bet.
Just in time, the boy was empty-handed because he had thrown his sword.
Two thieves took advantage of that gap and rushed at it.
But even after seeing them, the boy showed no sign of fear.
He just raised his hand.
What was in the boy’s hand at that moment was the sword he had just thrown.
“Did you think there was no weapon?”
The thief was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the sword.
And taking advantage of that gap, the boy’s sword pierced the thief’s neck.
Its clean, uncluttered movements were not at a level that a mediocre thief could deal with.
The jaw of another thief who rushed right next to him also struck the boy.
Then the thief fell to the floor with his tongue sticking out with a jolt that shook his brain.
The boy mercilessly drove the sword through his head.
aaah-
The trees swayed slowly following the blowing wind.
Unpleasant tension continued between the bandits.
The sudden appearance of a boy killed three people in an instant.
That alone turned the atmosphere upside down.
“I am going. You guys get that girl right.”
In the end, Orel, the captain, slowly walked forward.
Bulky and muscular, he was too big for a boy.
The outcome is obvious.
But Aurel did not look down on the boy.
The persimmon is talking.
That kid is no ordinary bet.
“Are you okay?”
Krashu watched him like that and slowly brushed off the blood from his sword.
“You attacked by yourself.”
“Puha!”
Orell let out a wild laugh.
“A kid like you can explode by just squeezing his head.”
“Yeah, nice. Let’s see whose head explodes first.”
The moment Krache said that, Orel kicked the floor first.
Kung-kung-kung!
A reverberation as large as its size spread throughout the field.
Like a buffalo, a red aura was placed on the ax that charged.
The aura that shimmered like smoke showed that he was an expert level player.
With all the force he had charged, he struck the ax at Krashu’s waist.
Chaeyeeng!
At that moment, Krashu’s sword filled the spot and blocked his axe.
However, due to the difference in size, Aurel’s strength was higher.
Perhaps because of that, Krashu’s body was slightly buoyant and pushed aside.
Orel’s eyes flashed.
It was because Krashu’s performance was not so high compared to what he showed against the bandits earlier.
What’s more, even if he comes, he’s a little less than himself.
‘The reason they suffered earlier was because they were careless about their appearance.’
If it was originally, it wouldn’t have been so easy.
Orel’s ax cut through the air and collided with Krashu again.
Boom, bang!
Amid the series of attacks, Orel was convinced.
He is stronger himself.
Besides, his sword was slow.
To the extent that I wondered how he blocked his own ax with a sword like that.
“Where did all the loud shouting go!”
Orell let out a threatening sound and swung the ax at random.
Krache didn’t even have time to answer, so he kept blocking the ax.
“Sniff.”
Orel felt he had to finish quickly.
Unless the weak is a woman, she doesn’t have any hobbies to bully.
So the intention was to finish quickly and go eat some delicious food.
His ax began to swing more and more fiercely.
The noise from the sword and ax clashing was enough to deafen his ears.
One minute like that.
5 Minutes.
10 Minutes.
“Huh, huh?”
Orell’s rough breathing echoed.
He was still swinging his axe.
I’m sure I’ve thought about ending it with the next attack already dozens of times.
Still, Krashu was fine, and Aurel was exhausted.
‘What happened?’
Krashu’s sword was slow enough to be seen.
It was said that the power and aura contained in it were insignificant.
In fact, Krashu staggered whenever he collided with the axe.
Even so, when I wielded the next attack, the sword was there before I knew it.
‘This is why.’
It was as if he was deliberately swinging the ax at Krashu’s sword.
No, was it really like that?
Could he really be swinging an ax at his sword?
Confusion began to mix in his head.
“Are you done?”
Awkward!
Under the night when the sky was dark, Krashu’s blue eyes shone bleakly.
Krashu’s tone was the same as at the beginning.
Orell struggled to catch his breath.
Then he grabbed the ax in his hand.
“Ha-ha-ha, what kind of tricks are you doing! That is the end.”
Then he forced himself to relax and shouted.
Seeing that, Krashu smiled lightly.
“I’m glad. Thanks to you, I seem to be able to catch my senses even without my sixth sense.”
Wriggling.
The chief man’s thick eyebrows moved.
It was as if Krashu was playing with himself.
Orel, his pride hurt, drew a long breath.
He didn’t intend to use that skill against the kid, but he felt like he would go mad first if he was further attacked by his strange swordsmanship.
Thump!
Without a signal, Orel kicked the floor again.
Then Krashu stretched out his sword and waited for his attack again.
It felt as if he was putting his head into the snake’s mouth, but Orel suppressed his fear.
Instead, he stood on the ax harder than ever.
But at the place where his ax was swinging, once again Krashu was bringing a slow sword.
‘I got it!’
Orel’s eyes flashed.
At that moment, his ax made a strange move.
The ax that had been trying to hit Krashu’s sword until just now left only traces of the aura, and the ax flew towards Krashu’s side.
Welcome back (歡迎槌斧)
It was a secret technique he had.
As it is, I will cut Krashu in two pieces.
It was the moment when Orel laughed, expecting the blood to be shed soon.
Chehehehe!
The sound of metal clashing with iron resonated throughout the field.
Dreaming-
Orell’s eyes closed once and then opened again.
He couldn’t understand now.
It was because the feeling of touching his ax was not flesh, but iron.
“Hey.”
Krashu’s voice rang out in a low voice.
“Where did you learn that?”
Beyond the ax and sword, a glare streamed from his blue eyes.
“Kuh?!”
Orel’s body shrank when he saw it.
I felt like a small animal encountering a beast.
Krashu was frowning on him now.
Because I knew what kind of secret technique the phantasmagoria he was using was.
‘Did you run away from the Empire around this time?’
There was a mass murder in the empire not too long ago.
It was none other than the man who single-handedly massacred a village.
As a result, the Empire dispatched the Knights, and the Slaughter Horse eventually fled across the Empire’s borders.
Originally, Krashu wouldn’t have cared too much about what the empire would do.
But his real problem lies elsewhere.
‘Because I accepted the power of the World Evader and became a servant.’
Like Bianca in the days of the Hundred Ghosts, it was because he was a servant of the world eater.
Berchmann the Slaughter Dog
That phantom toe was what he mainly used.
“Are you the slaughter dog’s underling?”
Orell’s face hardened.
‘I don’t particularly care if this guy is a Slaughter Dog’s subordinate or not.’
The problem is that the slaughter dog hides in Staron Kingdom later.
‘And Charlotte caught me.’
The reason Krache, who was not interested in outside information, remembered this was because of Charlotte.
The death of the slaughter dog was the decisive moment that made Charlotte’s name known throughout the Empire.
The majesty of completely overpowering and defeating a species of world erosion alone at the age of 16 was enough to be discussed as a heroic tale.
“All right. The flow is broken.”
At that moment, Krashu’s sword moved.
“Huh?”
The moment Orel questioned, his giant body fell slowly.
Seeing him rolling on the floor with his throat cut, Krashu trudged away.
Anyway, the slaughter dog is destined to be killed by Charlotte.
I don’t think you need to worry about that subordinate.
“Val, Valheim Niim!”
A merchant woman who was struggling with the other four bandits cried and called Krashu.
Seeing that, Krashu clicked his tongue and raised Ignis on top of his sword.
I need to finish it quickly and go to sleep.
