chapter 37
Episode 37 Illusion Battle
Berchman the Slaughter Dog.
Its characteristics are always mischievous behavior as if a screw is missing from its head, and sloppy movements.
That’s why he makes frequent mistakes, and when he harasses an opponent who is weaker than himself, that point is even more highlighted.
However, being able to overcome all of those things is his true skill.
There are not many people who can escape the Empire by running away from the Empire’s Black Dragon Knights.
Unless they are non-standard figures such as Shinchang and Mary Diana.
In the meantime, Krashu raised his hand.
Then, Bianca’s hairpin that Bergman had been holding returned to his hand along with the black hood that had been activated in his hand.
Krashu kept his hairpin in his pocket.
Then, when I raised my head, there stood Bergman, who rolled his eyes and looked annoyed.
“Who are you? Why are you interfering with people’s work?”
The protruding muzzle contorted disgruntledly.
“You talk a lot.”
Krasche wanted to take Bianca and go back to Hardenhartz right away.
Because I wanted to heal Bianca’s wounds as quickly as possible.
The only person who can help her here and now is herself.
Because it is impossible to move Bianca with Crimson Garden’s crow, and Ebel Ask follows the unwritten rules of the world eroder.
That said, running away with your back to Bergmann is also a risk.
So we’ll defeat Bergman here.
“He hits people, and kids these days are brutal.”
The moment Bergman said that, his figure shattered.
“It makes people angry!”
At that moment, his ax broke and flew towards Krashu.
Kang!
A brief moment.
Krashu’s sword filled the spot and blocked Bergman’s axe.
‘It’s fast.’
To the extent that my sixth sense followed closely.
Furthermore, just looking at the amount of simple auras, he reached the highest level of an expert.
Being a servant of the world eroders, he must have broken through his limits.
Krashu has recently reached the advanced intermediate level.
The difference in level was obvious to anyone.
“Oops, blocked!”
Kang, Kang Kang!
A few more times Bergmann’s ax was swung.
Every time, Krashu’s sword quickly filled the spot.
It was a dull sword.
However, even if it is a dull sword, it is only effective when it can receive the opponent’s full strength.
Krashu, who was pushed back by physical strength, kept stepping backwards, and was unable to utilize the space control unique to the dungeon.
“Keep blocking! Stop it!”
The humorous words unique to the slaughter dog burst out.
A light tone with no heaviness at all.
At most, it was the kind of behavior a street janitor would use.
However, unlike its lightness, the ax was too heavy.
Kaang!
Krashu’s sword, which was pushed back by the ax that bumped into it once again, rose wide.
Taking advantage of that gap, Bergman’s eyes flashed.
Berchmann released his hand from the axe and immediately thrust his fist into Krasch.
Puff!
At that moment, a clear sound of blows rang out.
But there was something he didn’t expect.
“Ugh?!”
It was from the side of Berg Bay where he swung his fist that moaning broke out.
The reason was simple.
It was because Krasch, who had predicted Bergman’s actions through his sixth sense, swung his own fist at the one he was swinging.
Chonkyung(寸勁)
The effect of the secret technique that penetrates the outer shell and shocks the inside was clear.
It was because he cracked Bergmann’s finger bones.
On the other hand, Krashu’s left fist also failed.
I managed to hit the police officer, but he was equally shocked.
If it weren’t for the village policeman in the first place, only Krashu’s fist would have cracked.
“It hurts!?”
Bergman’s scream, which cracked his bones, rang out once.
Krache also couldn’t be free from pain.
The reason Krashu endured the shock was the same, so the pain came as if it had been cracked.
However, Krashu immediately applied power to the sword with that hand.
In this respect, Krache’s advantage was revealed.
Wheek!
Krashu’s sword flew through the air and cut Bergman’s side slightly.
I was going to pierce the boat, but Bergman reacted right before and avoided it.
Krashu’s blue eyes shone clearly among the spurting blood.
He is used to pain.
Because I’ve experienced countless times worse pain than this.
The mere crack in his hand was not enough to restrain his actions.
‘Catch the flow.’
As the accident accelerated, Krashu’s concentration increased.
With his fist and successive sword strikes, Bergmann’s actions slowed down.
Humans tend to withdraw when they feel pain.
It was the same even for Bergman.
So, the moment Krashu seized the gap, he raised his aura explosively.
The aura energy that seeped through his arm muscles showed up on the sword, turning it blue.
‘Ignis.’
At that moment, following his call, the blue aura turned into flames.
Roaring!
The sword of blazing fire rushed towards Bergman.
Berchmann was taken aback by the sudden fire.
And Krashu persistently aimed for that gap.
I was going to hurt Bergman even a little bit.
“f*ck, that sucks.”
But if it was at this level, Bergman wouldn’t have been able to face Charlotte before returning.
“Kong!”
A very short barking sound.
Krashu knew that was the starting point.
Following his echo, the surrounding colors began to discolor.
The mountain range that had been covered with snow until just now turned red.
After the sunset, dogs barking could be heard from all around the mountain.
The top of Krashu’s eyes was covered in red.
Accordingly, all five senses began to shake on their own.
Illusion bondage(幻影束縛)
Unlike Bergman, who could see his surroundings intact, Krashu’s world seemed distorted as he was trapped in an illusionary bondage.
A secret technique that spreads an aura with sound and overlays it on the opponent’s senses.
It was a terrifying esoteric, as the moment he was trapped in his illusionary bondage, he could not know anything until the point of his death.
“Doesn’t it feel like you’re going to die from being locked up?”
Looking at Krashu, who was just standing still after being trapped in the phantasmagoric bondage, Bergman let out a wry smile.
But compared to that laugh, Bergman slowly gripped the ax with his dog’s snout wide open.
When Krashu attacked a little while ago, Bergmann knew that he was in danger more than he thought.
The appearance of a little kid, the level of difference in physical strength and aura.
Seeing that, he vaguely judged that he was a weakling who could handle himself on his own.
His left fist is cracked, and his right side has a sword scar.
In Hardenhartz, a search party could soon arrive.
I thought it would be better to end it quickly.
“Kong!”
So he barked again.
As a result, several of his own senses were twisted.
The pain in his hand and the pain in his sword disappeared.
By fantasizing about himself, he erased the pain that was interfering with the immediate fight.
Then he slowly stretched out, step by step, holding his axe.
His movements have changed more carefully than ever, like a wild dog hunting.
Berchmann defined Krashu as a dangerous person at the point of using the phantom bondage.
So there was no more carelessness with him.
Like his nickname as a slaughter dog, he really started hunting.
‘The movement that followed my ax earlier, that’s not a normal movement.’
Maybe you can cope with something even in the phantom bondage.
So Bergman spun his axe.
Then what he struck was none other than the stump of a tree.
Crunchy!
The fallen tree began to fall towards Krashu in an instant.
At the same time, Bergmann sprinted across the floor.
The direction he ran was none other than the direction of Bianca.
That was the moment.
Crispy!
With Krashu splitting the falling tree, he immediately attacked him.
He narrowly avoided the sword that flew right in front of his nose, and glared at Krashu with open eyes.
Krashu, whose eyes were shimmering in red, was obviously under the phantasmagoric bondage.
But my sixth sense.
This is because Krashu had the ability to completely counter his occult magic.
Bergmann let out a laugh mixed with dejection.
“hahahaha, you bastard!”
For the first time in a while, Bergmann felt a chill.
Krashu had deliberately hidden his teeth and waited until he approached.
‘I’m trying to induce my guard as much as possible.’
Krashu’s eyes turned to Bergman.
The figure looking straight at himself seemed to be free from the phantasmagoric bondage.
Now I know for sure.
That bastard wasn’t just a prey.
It was an opponent who had to fight a bloody battle between a beast and a beast over their prey.
Kang!
The sound of an ax and a sword clashing echoed loudly in the forest.
At the Kaga River, the battle between the ax and the sword began and the iron was ground.
Seeing that, Bergman opened the dog’s muzzle while sticking his head in Krashu.
“If you don’t stop me, I’ll gouge out her eyes, cut off all her fingers and legs, and throw her in her mouth.”
What came out of Bergman’s mouth were words that touched Krasch’s heart.
However, even after hearing that, Krashu’s expression did not change at all.
There is no change even though it is quite provocative.
Seeing that, Bergman was convinced.
‘Man, this isn’t without the effects of illusion binding!’
I don’t know how the phantasmagoric bondage was broken, but Krashu’s five senses weren’t completely normal.
Then the victory is leaning this way.
Over there, the influence of illusion bondage remains, and there are things to protect.
On the other hand, this side only needs to attack.
Following the slanting victory, Bergman’s ax came from all directions.
Krashu’s sword barely blocked Bergmann’s axe, but his body began to be pushed away each time.
It wasn’t just that.
Because the illusion of Bergman’s ax began to mix.
Welcome back (歡迎槌斧)
Innumerable weeds in the grass began to be embroidered.
A different number of phantasmagoric axes than those of the leader of the thieves rained down on Krashu.
Through my sixth sense, I completely countered the phantom bondage, but even so, I couldn’t completely overcome the aftermath.
As evidence of that, the wounds continued to increase on Krashu’s body.
“Turn off, ugh.”
And Ebel Ask, who was watching it from afar, bit his lip.
She was hesitant as she watched the fight between the two.
Krashu is the benefactor who recovered his heart.
Even if it’s a transaction, she also has commercial morals.
I didn’t want to let Krache die.
‘Shall we go out? But if I throw it away, he will target me. No, he judges that not only me but also Krashu is involved, so he will aim for him as well.’
A back belly made of the slaughter dog Bergman as a servant.
World eater Mad Dog.
If that guy targets Krashu as well as himself, there is no situation without an answer.
Mad dogs are the strongest of the world’s eroders.
In addition, it is tenacious, befitting its name mad dog.
Because it doesn’t loosen its teeth until the moment it dies after targeting an opponent.
So she couldn’t intervene and stamped her feet.
Quang!
At that moment, Krashu was hit by Bergman and fell to the ground.
I got up quickly, but because of that, I allowed the attack and the wounds on my body increased.
Ebel Ask saw that and jumped to his feet.
No.
Even if I die, it’s better to die later. If I die here, everything is meaningless.
[ Do not intervene. ]
At that moment, a voice rang in her head.
The owner of that voice was none other than Crimson Garden.
She was taken aback.
Don’t intervene.
You mean you can’t even see Krashu dying?
[ Wait and see. ]
Then the voice of Crimson Garden was heard again.
There was conviction in her voice.
[ That kid said he would win. ]
Krache said it himself.
Then, as a teacher, he had to believe in it and watch over it.
[ Trust the child who took your heart back. Because that child is a poisonous breed that I acknowledged. ]
After hearing the last words, Ebel Ask slowly sat down on the floor.
“…… Seriously, if you die, I’ll resurrect you as a corpse.”
With the heart that I hope it won’t happen that way.
