I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

2 – National Foundation Day – (2)

The first thing I felt was a dizzying feeling of floating, as if my heart would stop.

Then the feeling of being hit on the back with a hammer with a bang.

The last one was an excruciating pain.

The aftermath of the explosion was devastating.

The carriage rotated almost two turns before stopping after hitting a stall outside the plaza.

In the meantime, I, who became a human pinball, slammed myself into the ceiling once, into a chair once, and finally into the edge of a window.

“Turn it off.”

I see stars in front of my eyes.

There was nothing wrong with the old saying that if you are really sick, you can’t even make a sound. It seems that the wind in my lungs has just escaped. When I opened my mouth, all I could hear was air escaping.

For me, who had never been through a major accident in my life, it was a shock to the extent that my mind was blown away.

“Whoa. Woo-wook.”

how long has it been

The pain gradually subsided, and oxygen began to be supplied to the brain.

Take deep breaths and try to calm your mind and move your body.

Unexpectedly, the body followed my instructions well.

Moving around, I let out a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that he was wearing thick armor.

Although the joints scream, there is no difficulty in moving. There didn’t seem to be any broken bones. In an accident like this, it would be a miracle that he survived, but there were no major injuries.

If it was the original me, I wouldn’t have been yaljjam. However, this knight named Fried, whom I possessed, had a truly superhuman body.

When I thought about it, my mind went blank.

To be possessed by a character in a game, there was no sense of reality.

Why did this happen?

If you have to think about the reason, it’s probably because you started the game with the newly opened Death March mode.

I wanted to insult the production company, but even now, time is running out.

And if you somehow survive this terror, you will be killed or eaten.

I rolled my eyes and surveyed the situation.

The unnamed passenger sitting next to me had fallen out of the window while the carriage was rolling, so I couldn’t see it.

No, little things like that are fine.

It is urgent to get out of this wagon.

I tried to pull myself out, but

“Damn it.”

One side of the ceiling of the overturned wagon sank, trapping my leg in the middle. Fortunately, my legs were not crushed thanks to the tight gaiter.

However, no matter how much force I exerted on my calves, I couldn’t pull myself out.

Stretching out his arms and taking off his armor and pulling his legs out would have been a way, but even bending at the waist was impossible in this confined space.

After thinking for a moment, I untied the knife tied to my waist and cut it open.

Even if you look at the sword, which is close to 1 meter long, it looks solid as if it was made with the skill of a craftsman.

The sheath was inserted between my legs. Then, using the sword as a lever, he pushed it hard. Then the plank cracked.

As I pushed the sword hilt with all my might, the ceiling split in half with a crackling sound.

yes. After all, people have to use tools.

I lay down and crawled out through the carriage window on my stomach.

The moment I saw the sky, the heat hit my face.

raise your body While staggering for a moment from the dizzy sensation as if riding a roller coaster, I had no choice but to open my mouth at the scene in front of me.

In the game, a scene expressed with only one CG of dot graphics.

However, seeing it with my own eyes, I had no feelings other than to say that it was horrific.

“… … crazy.”

The whole sky was red.

Everything in front of me was burning with fire.

The sound of blades clashing. The dull sound of flesh being ripped apart. A child’s scream. The sound of burning buildings collapsing.

The emperor and his relatives who were on the podium were all turned into pieces of meat, and in the middle, assailants in black robes wielded swords and committed indiscriminate massacres.

The surviving soldiers fight against this, but they die one by one, as if they are not enough.

foreign seeds. An evil group that wants to sacrifice this dimension to the demons of the outer world.

This terror is their work.

And they’re crazy psycho fanatics who sacrifice and eat human flesh.

As I reached this point, cold sweat ran down my back.

Only then did the carriage overturn and the adrenaline that had been seeping through my body ran away.

As my mind became calm, the sense of reality and reason that had left the house returned.

I was an ordinary petit bourgeois, and in front of me was a more horrific massacre than any other slasher movie.

It is only after reaching this point that I seem to have properly accepted the situation I was in.

I’ve entered a f*king world, and it’s not like a game. Not even a nightmare. A dream can never be so realistic.

This is a world where the god of death beckons right in front of my nose. It is a world where you can die at any time.

“f*k… … .”

I cursed a little and took a step back.

You must leave at once.

This knight named Fried, whom I had possessed, was a high-ranking figure in the Imperial Guard. From their point of view, it is said that they must be killed.

Step carefully so as not to be noticed.

However, there was one fact that was overlooked.

The gaiters made a clicking noise as they walked, and the mouse-colored breastplates reflected the red light and glittered to the point of hurting your eyes.

That said, it was enough to attract everyone’s attention.

… … .

The gaze was driven.

“… … .”

Several of the assailants looked at me and twisted their heads.

seconds to do so.

Silence close to eternity.

someone shouted.

“A knight! Kill!”

Starting with that cry, several assailants each pulled out their weapons and began to surround me.

“… … huh.”

My legs are shaking.

As an ordinary petit bourgeois living in modern times, the only thing I could do was practice kendo in middle school.

Can I, like this, survive against those who make violence their business?

As I was thinking about that, a man walked out after harming the group.

He was an impressive man with a twisted jaw and one eye. He was wearing the robe tightly, but one of the pupils that could be seen through it was the pupil of a snake.

It seemed certain that he was the leader of the guys.

The man looked at me and gave me an evil smile.

“This is such an odd fate, Guardian Knight Fried Iscoval.”

The man was holding a curved sword in one hand and someone’s head in the other, and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw the head away.

The head that rolled around.

As soon as I saw that face, I was startled.

Because the owner of that head was the knight next to the carriage who had just asked me about my regards.

“Knight Oswald is dead. And you are the only knight left here.”

After that, the man started slowly approaching me.

“Don’t be too upset. This too is the will of God.”

The sad curved sword in his hand emits an ominous light.

The sight of the man walking across the ravaged plaza with an evil smile on his face and snake eyes directed at me was more horrifying than anything I’d seen in a horror movie.

I see a severed head at my feet.

Knight Oswald was dead with eyes wide open and an expression full of fear.

“… … .”

The moment I saw this, instinct moved my body first.

“aaagh!”

I just ran through the alley without looking back.

*

Exit the square and cross the alley.

The cumbersome sword was thrown away long ago. The same goes for pitching. I didn’t even have time to take off my breastplate or pauldron.

Even at this moment, that bastard would be chasing after me.

Amid the sound of my creaking footsteps, the eerie sound of the hem of my robe dragging on the ground lingered in my ears.

I was scared and didn’t look back.

The moment I looked behind, the fact that he was following me seemed to be confirmed.

I was afraid of that. That’s why I did my best to look forward and run.

Tears and mucus flow as one. Cold sweat was running down his forehead.

If others saw it, I would probably look really ugly now.

But I couldn’t help it.

The main character possessed in novels or games often overcomes difficulties with transcendent adaptability. However, I am not the main character in such media, nor am I a strong person.

He was just an outsider, a game junkie who couldn’t time to return to school, everywhere.

I caught my breath. In the meantime, the feet did not stop. I had to get as far, far away as possible.

far? how far What are you going to do when you get out? Are you gonna live your whole life in this f*king world?

The voice in my head kept asking me. I do not know either. There was no time to think. It just mechanically moved its feet.

how long did it run

The alleyways began to twist more and more like a maze. Even though it was never shown in the game, I gave up even the slightest hope that this was all a dream.

After running a little more, the sound that seemed to be following him gradually disappeared, and now, only quiet silence has flowed.

I gulped and looked back.

“… … .”

An alleyway with no one came into sight.

I ran while looking behind me, sweeping my chest and slowing down my running speed.

bang.

“Ugh.”

I bumped into someone who jumped out of the corner.

The shock wasn’t too great.

The one I bumped into was a small girl whose height was only about my chest.

But from the girl’s point of view, it must have been a car accident-level shock. The girl seemed to have slammed her body right into the armor, and fell to the ground.

The girl groaned in agony and twisted her body on the floor.

And then it didn’t move.

Hopefully it’s not dead

No matter how much I was running away, I was not calm enough to leave a defenseless child behind.

After checking the other side of the alley again to see who was following me, I slowly approached her.

The girl was wearing very classy clothes. Perhaps he was a high-ranking aristocrat.

But her elegant ultramarine blue chemise dress was torn here and there, and her bare feet were bloody. Apparently caught in the explosion, her platinum hair was covered with soot.

“Hey, are you okay… ?”

A girl whose heart is pounding and breathing heavily. He put his hand on her shoulder and shook it.

Eventually, the moment I saw her face lying on her back, I was speechless.

It’s not because her looks are more beautiful than any woman I’ve ever seen in my life.

It’s not even because she’s staring at me with her eyes wide open in bewilderment and fear.

I knew this face

Could it be that you don’t know

It’s the face I’ve seen the most in nearly hundreds of hours of gameplay.

Platinum hair, graceful features, and green eyes that seem to be sucked in.

It was a face I had only seen through thin dot graphics on the other side of the monitor, but I was sure of it.

The last heir to the Empire. The 4th Princess Lynthia Ayren.

She was right in front of him.
