Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

38 – When my eyes turn red (4)

I knew from the beginning that my mana was different from others.

The crown prince, the female protagonist of the original work, and later, whenever Irene expressed mana, she always expressed it differently, but in the end, she was expressed as having a blue color.

Pure white mana that is distinctly different from others,

Although it is known that the color of mana is different for each person, it was only limited to blue in the end.

What is the relationship between my mana and the darkness that black magicians deal with?

But that didn’t matter.

If you think about mana at this moment, it is only the fact that this mana is effective against that darkness.

The sword in Evan’s hand emitted a brilliant light.

The flames wrapped around the body, and as the flames removed the darkness planted in the troll’s body, the troll let out a roar before long.

Koo Oh-

The troll’s movements were swift, unlike its huge body.

If you lose sight of it even for a moment, your body will be torn apart by that fist or axe.

I raised the sword I was holding and cut off the troll’s shoulder.

The pure white mana apparently slowed her regeneration. If that’s the case, this kind of attack will definitely work.

As the blade cut through the troll’s shoulder blade, the troll saw the dangling arm and swung the other hand carelessly.

The ax in one hand cuts down the tree roughly.

Evan’s eyes narrowed at the sight of him cutting down a tree with a single swing.

He was much stronger than he thought.

Correction of judging troll’s power. Didn’t even get hit by one.

Even if it was impossible, there was no chance of winning unless the impossible was achieved.

Take a breath. By the time his lungs were filled with oxygen and his chest swelled,

Evan’s figure disappeared from the troll’s sight in an instant.

‘…Maybe a minute. We have to cut as many places as possible.’

I could see the flesh growing rapidly from the shoulder that had just been cut off.

If it was at that speed, everything would be played soon, so this was an opportunity when it was awkward to use one arm.

Evan rapidly spun his body to get behind the troll.

Bodily pain is quite annoying,

Even if he was a troll, he wouldn’t be able to move his body like he did when he was fine.

Choo! Cut the troll’s ankle. However, after realizing that it was shallow, I immediately pulled my body out.

My skin was thicker than I thought. It was a sword imbued with mana,

It was quite difficult to cut down to the bones unless you really cut with all your might.

Seemingly enraged, the troll, with his shoulder fully restored, raised both of his hands and slammed the floor.

The ground shakes. The power to shake the ground with just dragon power.

Evan laughed and fixed his sword. It wasn’t easy for him to take chances.

He exhaled again, and this time he took a step with the flame wrapped around his legs instead of his entire body.

It was fast. Perhaps it was so fast that a normal knight would not dare to catch it with the naked eye.

The blue sword light flashed several times in the air, and at the same time blood spurted from the troll’s body.

However, it was shallow. Something that would definitely cut the troll was lacking. What the hell is that something?

The moment Evan gritted his teeth, the troll’s eyes sparkled. He blazes with rage.

Like a flame that is about to explode at any moment, the purple requiem began to sway in the darkness.

Koo-ung! Evan’s body floated into the air as the troll moved his feet.

Evan’s face was stained with embarrassment.

What on earth is this absurd power that makes the body float with the vibration of the moment?

I looked at the blade of the ax the troll was throwing, frowning.

That huge ax that was covered in blood and sticky with flesh.

Concentrate. The ax pointed at him, the troll’s hand holding it.

My fingers twitch. The troll’s forearm muscles gripping the ax handle were pulled tight,

Seeing the swollen figure ready to explode at any moment, he raised his sword.

Raise your senses. Sight, hearing, smell, and touch.

Without letting go of the gaze at the axe,

I hear the reeling sound of cutting the wind and feel the thick scent of blood on the axe.

His hand holding the sword felt slippery. Is it because it is wet with blood and sweat?

With both hands holding the sword with strength, he slashed the sword at the ax that was flying towards him.

If you give him strength like this, he will be pushed back, so he twisted his back and rotated his body.

Turn your back. Taking several steps, the side of the ax was knocked out so that the power on the ax was directed in the opposite direction.

Kwajik-! At the same time as the ax was pushed away, his body was also pushed away and crashed into a tree.

It tasted fishy in my mouth, and when I spit it out, the red color stood out.

I thought I was able to block it properly, but it seemed that the troll’s power was too strong.

My back was sore. Swearing leaked out from the pain of hitting the tree,

He smiled bitterly and turned his gaze back to the troll.

Maybe it was because he couldn’t overcome his strength and fell to the floor.

The troll collapsed on the floor in a funny way and picked up the ax that had fallen on the ground.

“It would have been nice to have Sir Chris with me at a time like this.”

Then I wonder if I tried to pass something.

The dark troll was a much tougher opponent than he thought.

As much as it would be better to fight again and again with the warlock I met in the city.

Wouldn’t it be the toughest opponent I’ve ever fought in my life?

Suddenly, the sword in my hand caught my eye.

What is the reason I fight so desperately, even risking my life?

I could have run away like this. Just inform them that there are warlocks and dark trolls in this place.

Wouldn’t the knight commander in the imperial family take care of it?

However, the reason why it wasn’t.

The reason why I went to this place even though I knew that it would be difficult and that there was no reason for this.

Isn’t that simple?

There was someone to protect. Irene was down there.

I said that I am an escort knight, and that I will continue to be your escort knight. How can I keep myself safe with such a threat?

On the other hand, it was also funny. The guy who ran away from his abusive parents,

Now, risking one’s life to protect someone.

However, it was different then and now.

Unlike the time when I had only one body left, there was someone I needed to protect now.

I will never forget the smile that made me smile. The day the first snow fell,

I couldn’t forget that smile that shone brighter than any other eyes.

Because I didn’t want that face to be distorted again, because I didn’t want the tragedy that would come later to really happen.

With a click, the sword on the handle disappears with the sound of metal friction.

I realized a different sense from before, the moment the ax and the sword met.

That the sword he pulled out was not his true form.

The color of the sword body, which rose again with a clear sound, was different from before.

Unlike before, which had a bluish color, the blade was completely pure white, just like its own mana.

Sparks begin to rise from the body.

Sparks that tore through the surrounding darkness and dyed the space white soon flew in the air.

Make up your mind. Solidify your beliefs

I thought that such a statement was too grandiose, so I quickly erased my thoughts and looked ahead.

It was neither determination nor conviction. Those words didn’t suit him.

I just wanted to protect it.

Maybe it was because she was her escort knight, or because she was the first person to acknowledge her existence.

The reason didn’t matter.

I didn’t need a reason to protect someone.

I wanted to do that. I didn’t want to regret it anymore, and I didn’t want to lose someone precious to me again.

Just like his younger brother whom he lost due to a momentary mistake. I didn’t want to regret any more.

To raise the sword.

I felt that my body was light.

It was so much lighter than before that I even thought I was floating in the air.

The surroundings were brighter than before. The darkness that consumed the forest was driven away by flames,

Trees that had lost their vitality soon began to regain their light.

I looked at her handkerchief fluttering in her sleeve.

She told me not to get it dirty and smiled at the handkerchief she had given me, still not stained with blood.

Since you said that, what would you say if you dirty it?

Placing her handkerchief in her arms, Evan looked at the troll, which started running towards him again. Veins sprouted from her hand as she gripped her sword.

My heart beats.

Evan gritted his teeth as his heart beat like it was about to explode, sending blood all over his body.

Bend her knees. With his feet outstretched back, she thus prepared to leap forward in front of her.

Kooung-

An enraged troll approached Evan before he knew it.

Mixed with the earth-shaking footsteps are obvious anger,

When the feet that trampled on the tall grass and crushed the damp soil soon headed for Evan’s head.

Evan disappeared from the troll’s sight again. However, the troll reacted.

Apparently, like that attack earlier, he immediately moved his back leg, thinking it was going to target his ankle.

Chow-

But it doesn’t move. He was unrecognizable.

The moment he thought he had moved his foot, his body stumbled, and the troll’s unbalanced body fell forward.

What the troll could see was pure white flames.

The darkness that brought power disappears. The light entering the dark forest entered my eyes, and the light was so brilliant that I closed my eyes tightly.

“My feet!”

“Did you know how to talk? This is a bit surprising.”

The pain felt in the ankle extends to the hamstrings.

There was no more strength in the bleeding leg.

A recklessly swung ax cut down several trees, but

That was all. Do not reach Evan was watching all of those attacks.

‘My body is light.’

I was a little surprised that trolls could talk, but

What was more surprising than that was that my physical condition was a little better than before.

He is still far from the master’s level of dyeing the world with mana, but

It felt like I had grown up again within the realm of being an expert.

I’m usually surprised, but what exactly is this body’s true identity?

I usually train hard, but even so, does this growth rate make sense?

The troll’s movements, which until recently had to be captured with all the senses, were now surprisingly clear.

An oblique line going down to the right and up to the left.

Every attack the troll made was shown as multiple lines, as if it had been painted over with a brush.

There was room for my feet to step on.

His breathing was light, and the flames flowing through his body burned more intensely than ever before.

The limping troll hasn’t lost his fighting spirit yet.

The predator’s eyes still blazed, still seeing himself as just a weakling.

Lean down to avoid the ax passing through the tip of your head.

Digging into the troll’s body, he soon thrust his sword into the wide exposed belly skin.

Ji-Ik – The leather is torn and blood is gushing out. I stung my intestines.

The troll roared as the long, winding intestines protruded and flowed to the floor.

It must hurt, but the pain calls for carelessness.

The troll, who was picking up the entrails from the guts that had been ripped open, howled plaintively for a moment before Evan thrust a knife into its chest.

The blood that gushed out in a squeak entered his mouth and spat it out while frowning.

Sticking out my tongue at the disgusting taste in my mouth, I pushed the knife into it, and soon felt the touch of the hard sternum.

The organs that will be in it, lungs, stomach and heart.

The troll began to struggle, realizing that he would soon die if he stayed like this.

The sword moved with every move of its huge body, and soon Evan clicked his tongue and escaped from under the troll’s huge belly.

If it stays like this, it will probably be crushed.

’30 Seconds until play.’

The cut off his ankle was slowly growing.

It was probably a bit slow because he was cut by his own sword, but even considering that, it was fast enough to doubt his eyes.

Is there something that can completely block the troll’s movements just once?

The troll gripped the cracked bellyhide and hoisted up his axe.

Now, what I see in my eyes is the tyrannical will to kill the being in front of me,

He probably wants to kill me even if he dies. The corners of his mouth twitch.

It didn’t suit him, but what Evan felt at this moment was joy.

The breath that has reached its limit, the twisted lungs that have dried up from squeezing out the breath, this heart that beats as if it’s going to burst at any moment.

The pleasure you feel at the moment you go beyond your limits is said to be incomparable to anything else.

My vision became hazy due to the pleasure that covered my brain. However, the feeling was still there.

Despite his blindness, all his other senses clearly conveyed what the troll was doing.

Chin-

Take a step. At this moment, he was the wind.

Grab the sword. The pure white shining sword shimmered, and eventually the surroundings began to become quiet.

Look ahead. Above all else, with its fierce gaze, it draws out flames that burn in its body and drives away the darkness.

For a moment, time seemed to have stopped.

As if the troll’s action, which had been so fast, had stopped, just as if only his own time was speeding up in this space.

Evan’s feet moved. The Wind Blows. Like a gale, the sword ripped through the air and moved forward, drawing a white trail.

After stepping off the ground, the body soon bounced into the air.

When the troll’s body came right in front of him, Evan twisted his body.

Like a lie, the ax wielded by the troll passes by.

His hair was cut off slightly, and a small scar appeared on his cheek.

Blood splatters. However, Evan laughed.

Chow-

The sword draws a line, creating a flash of light in this darkness.

Like a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky, the sword pierced the troll’s neck in an instant and shattered the neck bone.

There wasn’t even blood on the sword. A neat sword without any flesh or bone crumbs.

As the troll stared into the void, emptiness shone in his eyes.

There was no fighting spirit, no intention to burn any more.

The giant stumbled and soon began to collapse to the ground. Having lost its owner, the neck rolled against the body.

“…Ha ha.”

The neck that fell off did not even move.

Evan looked at the troll’s neck for a moment, wondering if he was really dead now.

The pure white sword body turned blue again, and was soon sucked into the handle and disappeared.

Chalarak-

While staring at the handle of the sword, he suddenly felt a gaze staring at him and raised his head.

Evan trembled as he realized that the fallen troll’s neck was now looking at him with black eyes instead of purple.

#

“Thank you.”

“It’s a little strange that a troll with only a neck would say such a thing.”

“If it wasn’t for you, I would have fallen and even my soul would have been destroyed.

I frowned at those words. A troll that thanks the man who cut off his head.

I could tell from looking at him that he was an unusual guy, but I didn’t expect him to speak so fluently.

Aren’t you the guy who acted stupidly saying ‘My feet!’?

But now I can’t even feel the darkness planted by the black magician.

There seemed to be no need to be vigilant, so I just stared at the troll.

Did he notice that I was wary of myself?

The troll chuckled and then opened his mouth again.

“As expected, it won’t be easy to have a conversation with the opponent you just fought with. Is it strange what I say? Well, I’m not an ordinary troll, so I can say this.”

“Unless you’re an ordinary troll.”

“My name is Zanzir, warchief of the Redtusk tribe and troll lord. Even though now only my neck remains and I am teasing my mouth, in fact, I will not live very long!”

Troll Lordani. Then, was the power that was different from that of a normal troll, along with the darkness, the power he was born with?

I was a little taken aback by that statement, and Zanzir spoke again.

“The village was destroyed by the black magicians, and even I was attacked by them. Thanks to your help, my soul was able to be freed. I pray that the protection of the Earth Mother be with you.”

“…Do you remember the black magician’s impression?”

“You look good. Unfortunately, there is only one thing I can tell you. There is one thing I remember clearly even in the midst of my memory hazy. It is the word ‘annihilation’.”

“Extinction.”

When the word extinction first came out, I thought it was just a coincidence, but there was something about it.

Warlocks and Extinction. Wasn’t it an organization that suddenly appeared a few years later?

Could it be that he was already plotting something behind the scenes? His eyes narrowed, and Zangir chuckled again before opening his mouth.

“If it’s you, you’ll probably be able to get through it nicely. I read the will in your eyes. Perhaps there is someone to protect?”

“……”

“You must be very shy. I have a lot to tell you. For example, the mana you have. Is it your lineage?”

“Paradise…?”

“But I don’t think I can tell you. Now I feel like my life will end in just a few breaths. It’s a pity, but it seems like this is all the help I can give you.”

In fact, there is nothing to help.

All I heard was that an organization called Annihilation was once again involved in the decapitated troll while fighting each other happily.

After a small nod, the troll smiled and pursed his lips.

My eyes were blurry. The glittering black eyes slowly wavered, and it was immediately apparent that they were losing their luster.

The word bloodline bothered me. Do trolls know about the mana I possess?

There were many things I wanted to ask, so my hands trembled at the moment. It was all about flinching.

I stared at the completely blurry eyes for a while, then shut my mouth at the voice I heard.

“Don’t forget your blood. I hope that someday I will be able to recall the wings I once lost.”

And like a doll, the troll’s head stops moving.

The cold appearance in an instant made the stories we shared so far feel like lies.

Lost wings, what the hell did that have to do with me?

“Whoa.”

But you don’t want to worry about it now.

I shook my head, brushed off my thoughts, and raised my head to the sky again.

Light prevailed in the forest where the darkness was completely lifted. The darkness that had been cast until now felt like an illusion.

There is no longer the darkness that used to hold your breath or weigh down your shoulders just by looking at it.

Clean air filled my lungs, and when I closed my eyes, I felt the vitality of the potato forest all over my body.

He was still alive. The troll fell, and it was he who stood up and breathed.

Finally, as he stepped out, his legs staggered and he fell forward.

Shall we take a break like this for a while?

What I see from my blurry vision is a winter forest illuminated by pure white light,

For some reason, her chest seemed to be at ease. Close your eyes. Consciousness slowly faded, and eventually fell asleep.

More depth than ever.
