chapter 17
17. where are you running
I felt the battle going on in the distance through my third eye.
‘sh*t! Did that monster start rampaging already?’
My mind was impatient.
‘Cause that’s what I did
If there were casualties, I wouldn’t feel comfortable.
So, I pushed harder and harder.
And gradually get closer to Siphoreo.
A strange fog came into my eyes.
cried Albert, who was closely following me.
“Sir Krause appears to be in a confrontation with something!”
“Sir Krause?”
“I’m a member of the Seven Knights, haven’t you met yet?”
During the conversation, the fog was getting closer.
At this distance… Now it’s about to reach with one leap.
I answered Albert briefly.
“I’ll see you now.”
Then jump forward and touch the floor with your left arm.
I pushed the floor with all my might.
Wow!
It seemed that he had some know-how to use the left arm of the Colossus.
My body swells and soars.
Back there, Albert’s bewildered expression seemed to be glimpsed for a moment.
“OMG……”
* * *
In midair, I concentrated on my third eye as much as possible.
It was because the fog created by Krause was thicker than expected.
Not even an inch ahead, I couldn’t even see my hand when I stretched out my hand.
‘Yeah, that’s right. Krauss was a Mist.’
The cinematic video reminded me of him dealing with the Legion alone.
In an instant, he covered the space with fog, made it his territory, and then unilaterally slaughtered it.
‘At this level, I might have already dealt with it…’
The thought did not last long.
With the third eye, a person who appeared to be Krause was detected.
But…wasn’t he rolling on the floor?
On the other hand, the mysterious creature that appeared to be a demon was spinning around such a Krause.
It’s as if it’s going to run up and eat it at any time.
I stretched out my left arm and touched a nearby building once.
Taat.
It turned the direction it was flying towards the Demon Beast.
In the meantime, the demon beast rushed at Krause who had fallen to the floor.
Correcting the trajectory, I fall towards the top of the beast’s head…
I used my left arm to slam the guy’s head down.
Whoops!
A big vibration came up to my shoulder.
There was a feeling in the fist.
I feel like I’ve been properly fed.
On the contrary, my body was free.
The fatal impact had already been swallowed up by the Colossus’ left arm.
“Ke, kkeek…!”
The demonic beast on my fist made a strange sound.
And Krause’s eyes trembled when he saw me.
“Who, who…”
I thanked him.
“You worked hard. You endured well.”
I scanned the surroundings with a sense of humor, but I couldn’t see anyone collapsed or dead from injuries.
I don’t know, but it’s probably thanks to Krauss blocking it.
That is, until the body becomes tattered.
Thanks to that, I no longer have to carry the burden of guilt.
Of course, I was a little sorry that Krause was hurt.
“The rest of the work… I’ll finish it.”
I raised my fist again.
I shot the beast’s head again.
Kwaaang!
“Kek!”
One more time.
aaang!
“Khehehehe!”
His screams seemed to grow a little louder.
Once again.
Woo woo woo!
This time my fist just stuck to the bare floor.
I thought it was the last hit, but it seemed that the Witchbeast still had the strength to escape.
The Witchbeast that keeps me in check while leaping far away before I knew it.
“Kreuk! Kreukreuk…!
He deliberately hid himself in the fog.
Are you using geographic features?
Unlike a demon, for a monster close to a beast, it seemed that he was quite a brainy guy.
‘A disgustingly ugly thing, where does it roll its head?’
But he had miscalculated.
Because I wasn’t too uncomfortable in this fog.
Meanwhile, Krauss, who hadn’t fully recovered yet, shouted at me.
“No, he can’t get through the fog! Be careful…”
I answered with one letter.
“Shh.”
“……”
not seeing
It was listening, smelling, and feeling.
small air flow.
The shaking of the misty moisture.
All of those subtle changes at once, to the point that even I, who has the third eye, would miss them if I wasn’t paying attention.
And I did the hard thing.
It’s a bit offended that I can’t do what that demonic beast can do.
Shaak!
At one point, the Witchbeast was hiding in the fog and approaching right in front of me.
Without the slightest hesitation, I slapped him on the cheek.
Whoa!
It felt like everything was getting colder.
‘I wasn’t having fun with Lokter because it ended too quickly, but this guy has a bit of a taste for hitting!’
* * *
In fact, I was a bit annoyed.
Basically, the disgusting energy felt by those who are related to demons.
that ruined the mood
and one more.
‘How do you use this black thunder? I can’t…’
There was also a reason why the Black Thunder Ring, which I had worked so hard to obtain, didn’t move like I thought.
Unlike the barbarian, the palidin was dressed in full armor and holding a shield.
As it was, Paladin was definitely a character focused on defense.
To match the concept, the means of attack were meager.
Maybe that’s why he only gave the black thunder ring to paladins.
The players thought so.
But now I already had the means to attack.
But isn’t it the best of both worlds?
There was no reason not to add a better attack method, so he had come this far.
‘Ah-oh! really. I thought it would be great if this was done. I can’t do things in the world as I want.’
However, the ring of black thunder didn’t react at all, so I couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
I can’t tell anyone about this… I have no choice but to let go of my anger.
with this fist.
Kwaaang!
‘uh? Wait a minute?……’
As I was beating myself up like that, an ominous thought passed through my head.
‘Could it be that this… can’t be used unless it’s a paladin class?’
OMG.
Disappointment was not like this.
I put up with the soreness of my arm at best and pulled it out…
If it’s not a paladin, it’s useless.
‘Yeah…other than that, there’s no reason not to use it.’
the problem is.
It was that there was absolutely no way for me to become a paladin class.
Although the Seven Knights and the Paladins were cooperative, they were distinctly different groups.
Seriously, they must have given the Holy Knights the right to choose one of the seven knights.
It was all about the human world, so it was to keep things in check.
To prevent the creation of a single force that is too large.
The other five kingdoms also occupied one spot for the same reason.
Otherwise, I would have just picked the seven strongest people from any kingdom.
However, the setting was not that important to the player.
It was like that for me too.
until a little while ago.
But now.
That needlessly detailed setting caught my ankle.
‘Seven Knights and Paladins?…That’s not allowed…’
There was no way I could use Black Thunder…
As soon as I understood the situation, I became even more annoyed.
“aaa!”
I let the anger inside explode with a scream.
Quaang! Whoa! Courage!
With the relentless swinging of his left arm, the beast’s face gradually turned into pieces of old rags.
He even jumped up to run away a few times.
Bang!

Just like now, I grabbed the hair branch and slammed it on the floor.
Whoops!
“Where are you running away!”
I still have a long way to go before my anger is resolved.
puck! f*ck! Puck puck puck!
The offense of trying to escape was added, and the blow was doubled.
“Kwaeek!”
At first it was a fairly shrill scream, but now it was making noises like chasing a pig.
Still, I didn’t feel anything strangely pitiful.
“The devil! Are you talking back?”
Barbababak!
I only made more money by touching the planting.
From far away, Albert’s voice was heard.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone who hates demons as much as I do…”
* * *
The Great Hall in the Archdiocese of Siphoreo.
There, all the high-ranking clergy at the level of bishops or higher in the archdiocese were in the middle of a meeting.
“…Then I understand that everyone has no disagreement on this matter.”
The Archbishop of Thevenon confirmed the unanimity of the proposed agenda and raised the gavel in the shape of a hammer.
The moment he was about to hit it three times to announce the approval of the agenda.
Bang, bang……
“The Templar Bishop!”
A priest hurriedly looked for the bishop of the knights and opened the door to the great meeting room.
Originally, interfering with a high-ranking meeting at the bishop level or higher like this was an act of disrespect to the point of being put on probation.
But the Archbishop of Thevenon was not angry.
It was because I felt that something had happened.
“What’s up?”
“It’s a big deal. Now, in the middle of the city of Siporeo, the Witchbeast has appeared!”
“A witch?”
“Yes! It seems to be the monster that caused the noise underground!”
The Archbishop of Thevenon’s expression changed seriously.
“Did you figure out which species it was?”
“That’s hard to figure out. Just now, the injured Paladins have made a comeback, but they say it was their first appearance.”
“The Paladins have made a comeback? Then who is on the scene now?”
“Fortunately, Lord Krause, a member of the Order of the Seven, is holding him back. However, he has been injured and has requested reinforcements immediately!”
The Archbishop of Thevenon turned his head towards the Knights Bishop.
“Bishop! Lead the troops immediately!”
“All right!”
As the bishop of the Knights Templar, who was wearing armor, left the meeting hall, all subsequent meetings were put to rest.
It was only natural that he was not in a situation to deal with such trivial matters.
If Kraus, a member of the Seven Knights, asks for help…
“Is it an ancient type of monster?”
At the muttering of the Archbishop of Thevenon, the other bishops were shaken.
“Sir, no way. The ancient species wouldn’t have been in the basement of this Siphoreo yet.”
“That’s another unknown. It could have come from somewhere.”
“Huh. If it’s an ancient servant, Archbishop. Shouldn’t we ask the royal family for help right now?”
The Archbishop of Thevenon rose from his seat.
“It’s the same idea. I’m going to move to the royal palace right away. Please prepare the messenger first! It’s urgent to inform the situation!”
“Okay. I’ll start the contact right away.”
“And tell the Bishop of the Knights right away. The opponent might be an ancient species.”
“Yes. I’ll go with that.”
The Archbishop of Thevenon, who decided that the council could no longer proceed.
The gavel signaled the end of the meeting.
“With this, we will end the bishop-level meeting. Only the first proposed item, ‘Lord Rohan’s appointment as heretic inquisitor’, will be passed, and the rest of the items will be dealt with later!”
Bang, bang, bang!
That moment.
The ring on Rohan’s hand.
Pasut!
Black thunder roared.
“uh?”
