NOVEL NEXT chapter 18
18 – 18 – Hero vs. Maid.
” Wow! “
Tuk!
Her long hair was cut off.
Not only that, but the nape of her neck was also deeply cut.
If she had gone a little deeper, she might have died.
” Heo-eok.. Heo-eok.. “
This is the second time today.
Today Hyeyoung Lee almost crossed the threshold of death twice.
The clash of swords with swords.
Her right arm was cut off.
Her head was in danger of falling off.
It was something unimaginable on Earth.
She couldn’t help but be afraid when she saw her own hair falling on the floor.
If she had reacted a little later, her head would have just fallen off.
But she narrowly escaped a near-death crisis and had no time to catch her breath.
Because there was a woman standing in front of her who tried to kill her.
” Tsk! It’s shallow! “
The woman holding a dagger in both hands was clearly a maid around him in the banquet hall.
However, the innocent face she showed at that time had completely disappeared, and she was just glaring at herself with a cold expression.
Now, she couldn’t help but notice that this maid was targeting her like the red-haired knight in her banquet hall.
” I am guilty of harming you, so please just die peacefully! “
Phew!
” Phew!! “
Before she could properly apply the aura to her body, the maid continued to attack rapidly, so she was unable to block properly and could only focus on dodging.
Phew!
” Ugh! “
She barely escaped by simply trusting her body to its instinct to survive.
It hurt so much.
It was painful.
The sensation of her arm being torn off still felt good in her body, but she tried with all her might to avoid the blade that was about to cut her again.
But.
Phew!
” Haha! “
Her attack was too fast for her to dodge.
She barely managed to dodge or block with her arm, which only prevented her from being fatally wounded.
” Phew.. Phew.. It’s not for nothing that Grace couldn’t finish it in one go. “
” Huh.. Huh! “
After being attacked several times, she was breathing heavily.
Can this scene be seen as a fight between a hero and a maid?
It was similar to the sight of a mouse cornered dodging a cat’s claws with all its might.
The maid continued to attack without giving her any time to rest.
Phew!
” Big! “
It was different from the knight who fought in the banquet hall.
From the beginning, she was only aiming for her own neck.
She was too tired to continue to withstand the attacks that clearly seemed intent on killing her.
” This time! “
Phew!
” Ugh! “
“You’re good at avoiding it. I won’t give you a chance to properly apply the Aura! “
Phew!
” Haha! “
If he had at least been given the opportunity to properly apply the Aura, he would have been able to defend himself, but the Auror that was hastily and clumsily wrapped was only destroyed by the Aura surrounded by the maid’s dagger.
” Just die! “
Phew!
“ Wow!! ”
“ Is it painful? The master is suffering because of you too! ”
Phew!
Ah, Hyunwoo is suffering too.
“ Heo-eok.. Heo-eok..! Hyunwoo is suffering..? ”
” Don’t call me Master’s name like that! “
Phew!
Yes, since I’m hurting like this, Hyunwoo must be hurting too.
” Wow..! “
Phew!
Hyunwoo must have been in pain after being cut and stabbed like this..
” Wow! “
” Be persistent! It looks like he’s trying to hold out until people come to save him! “
Phew!
It hurts!.. Does it hurt if you get stabbed with a knife?
” … “
” Everything around us has already been put to sleep, so no salvation will come! “
It seems like the maid has already cleaned up the surroundings.
I don’t know how she was put to sleep, but even if she held on, it seemed like no one would come to save her right away.
But at this moment, those facts became unimportant to Lee Hye-young.
” … “
” Have you finally given up? Well then! “
The maid saw her in silence and decided that she had given up and raised her Auror to make a final attack.
And she swung like that.
But.
Chaeng!
” Ugh!? “
Sussssseu..
However, the attack was blocked by a darker and more intense aura than the one shown in the banquet hall.
The maid was taken aback when she, who had only been wearing a faint aura a moment ago, quickly wrapped a strong aura around her body.
But she became unimportant even to the maid who tried to kill her right before her eyes.
“ Hyunwoo.. Hyunwoo.. ”
Oh, you were in this pain too.
” Don’t call me that, Master! “
When the maid saw her talking to herself, she became angry and radiated an even stronger aura and swung her dagger.
However.
Chaeng!
” Oh no!.. “
It was blocked this time too.
Because it was completely blocked, she no longer suffered any damage.
Hyeyoung Lee just lowered her head and continued muttering to herself.
“ It hurt a lot..? ”
I’m sorry. I didn’t say it would hurt.
I didn’t know it would hurt this much.
It’s because I was so angry for a moment.
I didn’t say you were sick.
“ I’m sorry. Sorry. Sorry. ”
Because her own heart was so broken and she wanted you to know.
Because she wanted people to only look at herself.
Because he wanted her to keep the promise he made to her.
She just did it because she couldn’t think of a way to do it.
“It’s no use apologizing now!”
Chaeng!
” Ugh!? “
The maid attacked her with all her might again, this time as she muttered to herself, but was blocked.
Only then did she raise her head, look at the maid attacking her, and open her mouth.
“ What are you? What are you? What are you? ”
Whaaaaa!!
” Ugh!! “
Her energy becomes stronger.
When she thought of him, her fear of getting hurt or dying disappeared.
Due to the wind pressure that came with the strong momentum, the maid began to be pushed behind her.
“ You. ”
She called the maid who attacked her.
“ You’re just like me. ”
Lee Hye-young had no choice but to know.
She is a maid who secretly came to kill her at night.
Hateful eyes looking at oneself.
How could she not know that the reason for all this is that she did it for the person she loves.
Whaaaaa!!
” W-what!? “
As the energy surrounding her body grew stronger, the maid panicked.
“ No. Hyunwoo only needs me. ”
Yes, no. All you need is yourself by his side.
When I thought about it, there were many women around him other than this maid.
” There is no place for someone like you next to me, Master! “
“ It’s noisy! Hyunwoo is mine! ”
The warrior, Lee Hye-young, has decided.
All the women around him, including the maid in front of him, are annoying.
I will kill them all tonight.
All you need is yourself by his side.
.
.
.
“ It’s noisy! Hyunwoo is mine! ”
Jiiiiing!
” Auror Sword!? “
Emma was embarrassed.
In the hands of a warrior who was screaming and calling her master by a strange name again.
A dark aura in the shape of a sword was emerging.
Auras on weapons can be easily done by trained women in this world.
However, there are only a few who create the shape of a weapon with such a clear and intense aura.
‘ Was this person of this high standard!? ‘
At this level, he wouldn’t have been easily defeated by Grace at the banquet hall during the day.
‘So you’re saying he’s grown up?! ‘
Emma recalled the legend of a warrior she also knew.
It is said that heroes from another world and another dimension were not strong from the beginning.
She learned that through rigorous training and going on an adventure with her companions, she became stronger and defeated the Demon King.
‘ But it’s too fast! ‘
If this is growth, it is at an incredibly fast pace.
Emma targeted Pope Tenesa while she was away.
As soon as the Pope left the place, the Holy Knights who stayed around guarded the area.
She was able to put everyone to sleep by secretly spraying her own medicine into the air.
The only thing she cared about was the hero who caused her master to lose his mind, so she had no intention of seeing more bloodshed.
Because she already has a bigger problem just by dealing with one hero, it is obvious that damage will come to the master she serves and her family.
It was obvious that the warrior would be busy recovering his arm from being blown off by Grace, so he didn’t worry much after putting those around him to sleep.
It was very easy to sneak into the room secretly, so the hero was completely caught off guard, so he let his guard down.
Because it hasn’t been that long since the Pope was away.
Because she was such an idiot that she didn’t even notice that she had entered the room.
I should have invested a little more time and ended with a more clear opportunity.
But.
Isn’t he humming to himself?
Hyeonwoo~ Hyunwoo~
Don’t call the master’s name like that.
No, don’t think about yourself, Master.
That alone made me so angry that I almost lost my temper, but I held back.
To seize a clear opportunity.
But.
That’s right, I said I was reborn in this world!
What do you mean?
There’s no way you wouldn’t recognize me, right?
Continue alone..
There is no way you can forget me!
What are you doing?
Are you lying again?
Why are you suddenly angry at me?
Hyunwoo.. Hyunwoo!!
Oh, it’s noisy!
I couldn’t hold back any longer and swung my sword.
That was a mistake.
It should have been handled calmly, but the attack, which was filled with unnecessary emotions, was bound to lack some accuracy.
Because of that, I was unable to cut off his head at once.
As a result, it has become a bad situation in which the hero is now growing.
The warrior’s energy and auror are becoming stronger.
‘ It poses a greater threat to you! ‘
Emma was confident that if she could not be dealt with here, she would definitely become a great threat to her master.
” Die. “
“ The one who dies is you! ”
” !? “
Whaaaaa!!
Emma summoned all of her mana in her own body as she screamed at her warrior who was swinging her Auror’s sword at her.
She risked her life for her beloved Master.
Like that, the hero and the maid clashed with each other.
Quaaaaang!!
Clink!!
Wow!!
As their energies collided with each other, objects around them were also destroyed.
And.
Because an abnormally high level of mana was detected in the magic circle installed in the Grand Duke’s residence.
Ang aang!!
The sound of a magic alarm rang loudly in the mansion.
To monopolize the one you love.
To protect those you love.
It was a moment when a warrior and a maid, who had similar, but clearly different purposes, squared off.
