Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear

145 – Jump Attack

Thump, thump.

The guy who used to tremble the ground dully was running with countless limbs.

“Kang!”

“Kerrr…”

At that bizarre figure, the monsters in front of him were running away following their instincts again.

One unlucky goblin was caught in one of those devilish hands.

“Kareuk?! Ker’aak!”

As the struggling body was soon ripped away handful by hand, desperate screams soaked the grass red.

“Gulp.”

At the top of the wooden fence watching the horrors, all I could hear was swallowing.

―Keureuk. Crack.

While holding the shredded goblins in his countless limbs, he let out a groan and began tossing blood clots onto the floor.

Steel puck.

Just as the guy who threw the last blood on the ground was about to speed up again.

―Tooung!

Someone shot a bolt through his torso.

It was clear that Prianian, who was somewhere in the fence, had shot it.

―Kureureu…

The creature stopped walking, groaning softly as it wrapped around his wound.

Seeing that, I shouted as I aimed my bow at him.

“An arrow can be eaten by that bastard too!”

Then, soon, the sound of the bow being pulled was heard, and at the same time, the command of the vigilante was heard.

It was the moment when the fear of the unknown was recognized as an enemy that could be countered.

“Shoot!”

―Ping!

―Huddeuk!

Once again, arrows rained down on the grass.

In that bloody barrage, he lifted the corpses strewn around him.

Took.

Tuduk.

―Kkeuk, kkeukkeuk.

The guy cried mockingly after confirming that the first two shots hadn’t hurt him.

Duduk, duduk.

Red raindrops fell from the umbrella made of the troll’s hide, but none of them were blood.

―Ping!

“f*ck.”

After the last arrow failed to hit the man hiding behind the corpse, he laid down his empty bow.

The young lady’s voice came through the sound of her beating heart as she kept holding her breath.

“The shadow of water on the sand.”

At that moment, a troll’s illusion appeared swarming around him, and he stretched out several of his limbs toward it.

―Kkeureu.

But friendly fire that saw his hand sticking out blurred the picture.

Since ancient times, illusions only take effect when you don’t know that they are fake.

The one who had been hit by arrows in one or two of his limbs that were attached to his torso was no longer fooled by the illusion created by the young lady.

Just silently approaching his fence.

The vigilantes, who still had arrows left, shot their bows until their fingertips tingled, but he did not fall.

Even though he was hit with enough arrows to kill any troll, the body of the troll he was holding was not torn apart.

The closer the distance got, the more helplessness and fear began to spread again.

“f*ck, don’t come!”

Soon, someone who could not stand the stress shouted as if representing the feelings of everyone on the wooden fence.

Maybe it’s because he didn’t know that the number of arrows he shot was getting smaller. Cried the bastard.

―Kruaaagh!

“Whoah!”

“The monster is coming! Run!!”

A few who heard the scream threw their bows and fell backwards, unable to overcome their fear.

As if that appearance wasn’t bad, the eyes of the troll that could be seen between the troll’s torso shone brightly.

―Gruieuk.

Steel flip.

The guy who threw away the troll’s corpse soon began to walk leisurely.

As he got closer to the fence, the people still on the fence started to backtrack one by one.

Though the adventurers did not run away and remained, their legs faltered as well.

Kudangtang!

While I could even hear the sound of some vigilantes running down the stairs,

The warmth of the two behind my back was still there.

“You two should go down quickly.”

“…I can’t go down.”

When I turned my head to those words, Priest Rien, who was still holding my morning star, answered with a trembling voice.

“I’m sorry, but it’s my job to save you. Be it a road or a person.”

“Unfortunately, I can’t go down because the road is blocked.”

The young lady’s voice came from a little further behind Priest Rien.

Looking down, the stairs were blocked by several people who had fallen while rushing down.

“So I’m just in the safest place on this fence. As you asked.”

After listening to each other’s answers, I nodded.

“First of all, since you understand well, please give me that morning star. Priest Rien.”

“Without this, I have no weapon to wield. Mercenary.”

“You seem to have a huge misunderstanding, but that is not what a priest should do.”

“Then…?”

Cheolgeureong.

He said as he almost took the Morning Star from Priest Rien’s hand.

“This is my job. Isn’t that why I’m getting expensive commissions?”

And on top of the fence, he said he would cooperate in defending the village.

Holding the Morning Star firmly with both hands, I looked at the mass walking in front of me.

Walking on its limbs, it was smaller than the fence we were standing on, but it had enough strength to lift a troll’s corpse with ease.

If we let him continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before he climbs over the fence and stirs up the village.

Suddenly, the image of him tearing apart a goblin came to mind.

After shaking my head and dispelling bad thoughts, I decided to come up with a plan.

The speed at which that lump of limbs was walking was very slow.

There was enough time to plan, but everyone was so frightened that no one dared to step out.

Anyway, I felt that the time had come to put on my arms again, so I wanted to hear other opinions before doing so.

“The adventurers there.”

The white-faced adventurers turned their heads towards me.

However, I couldn’t find any wisdom in that face, so I looked at Priest Rien again.

Inevitably, I had to go with Plan A.

“Priest, please apply your protection. Whatever it is, so we can catch that goddamn bastard.”

Priest Rien nodded and immediately began to recite prayers.

While receiving protection. He looked around.

“Shoot, shoot. Go ahead and shoot.”

I spoke to the middle-aged man next to me who was repeating commands with his hands trembling.

“Hey, vigilante? Teacher? Teacher?”

“…What’s going on?”

“If you want to save the village from now on, listen carefully to what I have to say. Because I have a plan.”

All eyes were on me, and I explained the plan to them.

“-That ends here. If you don’t know, ask me quickly, because I don’t have time.”

At that, one of the adventurers urgently called me.

“Wait, wait, wait.”

“What is it?”

“Are you really going to do that?”

“Then are you going to do it?”

At that question, I asked, pointing at the guy crawling towards me from the outside.

And then, I held out the Morning Star in my hand to him.

“If you can hold him back more firmly, I will gladly concede. As a bonus, I’ll also give you this Morning Star.”

At that, the handsomely dressed man in his leather armor shut his mouth.

“I don’t have time. That’s the only way to kill that son of a b*tch. So I’ll just ask you this, Captain. Things i need Are you sure you have everything?”

“…Surely.”

At my request, the vigilante leader nodded.

“Then you-“

“I’m glad. The range goes from here to here. From where?”

I turned my head away from him, fully aware of what I said, and stood at the edge of the fence and looked down.

Just like checking the current of the water before diving.

“Mr. G-House! What are you doing!”

I heard Prianian’s shouts from far away, but I didn’t have time to explain now.

The stairs were already blocked before I could go downstairs and run into him.

Now that he was almost under the fence, he was holding up his huge, muscular arms.

“Mercenary. That’s too dangerous. There must be another way.”

Priest Rien, who had memorized all the prayers, also held me back.

With my feet still hanging over the edge of the fence, I asked the priest.

When asked if you knew her weakness, she shook her head.

“Then, has the priest given you almost all the blessings he can give you?”

“…Yes.”

“That’s it. Since the priest did his best…”

Flutter.

“Now it is my turn to do my best.”

I said, throwing the big, thick blanket I got from the vigilante at him.

A yellow cloth was precisely coated on the reddish oval body.

―…Gruiau?

At the sudden obscured vision, he lowered his huge hand and began pulling away the blanket, clasping his limbs that had been stretched all over his body.

“After.”

A line of sweat ran down his back.

Find out.

Then, holding the Morning Star in his hands, he jumped off the fence, holding it high above his head.

Because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to jump if I delayed any longer.

“G-house mercenary!!”

‘Ah. f*ck. Did I just jump down?’

As usual when I rushed in front of Yeongjijeon, I began to feel regret.

However, the strength of the hand holding the morning star was not relaxed.

It was simply because the destination was changed from the edge of the enemy camp to the head of the bastard below me.

I just wanted this to go hook in one shot.

The shock came before I even shouted the catchphrase I had in mind.

Quad Deuk!

―!!!!

At the same time I heard a rupture sound like breaking a log, my balance was distorted.

As if I had swung a club against a urethane wall, I felt an elasticity that exceeded my expectations.

I barely escaped having my head nearly shattered by the mace that bounced towards me again.

Kudangtang.

What came back in return was an emergency landing on the ground.

“Oh, my waist.”

“Mr. G-House!”

“Mercenary?”

I heard people shouting from above, but now was not the time to answer leisurely.

―Cad ugh…

Stick.

Because the guy who managed not to faint and tore the bloody blanket with his hands and feet showed hostility.

“Gp, if you just die, where will it go?”

When I woke up with the Morning Star as my walking stick, my lower back ached slightly.

But he didn’t seem to be normal because he was also taking my surprise attack.

It was unfortunate that I couldn’t pop the eyeball I was originally aiming for, but seeing as a bone protruded from his huge arm instead, it was a good deal.

―……

I met his eyes exactly.

Adrenaline began to circulate spontaneously at that bloodshot fighting spirit as if he was going to tear him alive.

After gritting his teeth at the slowly fading pain, he thanked him.

“Thank you for giving me time to wake up. A bastard who hasn’t even been home educated is really nice.”

―Guruagaak!

He started running.
