I Became a Madman in the Game

Episode. 06 Crisis at Snowfall (2)

Mana surged from Richard’s body. The mana intertwined and intertwined, and began to create a single shape.

The sword of mana floating behind Richard’s back before he knew it.

It was literally the star of the sword, worthy of the name ‘single sword star’.

‘That’s… … !’

Aaron opened his eyes.

‘It’s clear… … That’s Lord Balak’s swordsmanship!’

Balak, who has a reputation as a swordsman next to Battenga’s head of state.

Everything about him was a mystery, but Aaron had only seen him once.

In a great war that took place a long time ago, Balak, who slaughtered the wizards with his eight shining swords.

At that time, Richard weaved it together.

Although it was small and messy to the point of being ugly, it was unmistakably a sword star.

Aaron swallowed.

That’s on a different level from Aura Blade… … .

Kugu Palace!

It was sword violence.

The star that emitted blue light left a long tail and fell toward the Death Knight.

“Ku, keuaa!”

Death Knight must have felt that it was unusual, so he pulled out an ink color aura he hadn’t used before.

Quaggagak!

The aftermath of the two swords colliding rippled through the surroundings.

The ground cracked apart, and mana raged in a torrent.

In the midst of it, the Death Knight let out a scream.

Even if it is an unstable sword star, a sword star is a sword star.

Death Knight’s body was pushed back without mercy. There was no room left for him anymore.

Eventually, the star of the sword shattered the ink-colored aura and pierced through the hard armor.

A huge explosion followed shortly thereafter.

“Huh, huh… … !”

Richard let out a heavy breath.

Although it was only once, it was too overwhelming an attack to believe he had ever done it.

Not only did not much mana run out, but the body screamed due to excessive mana activation.

“Cool!”

Richard sat on the floor coughing up blood.

The blowing snow wind and dust rose dizzyingly.

He had his mind set on being distracted.

‘It’s not over.’

It was evident to Richard.

That the Death Knight’s tenacity to live has not yet disappeared.

That intuition was not wrong.

The dust cleared and the Death Knight appeared. It was badly wounded, but it was still standing strong.

Kigigg, Kigiggeek-

“Dangerous… … you are dangerous… … !”

Death Knight muttering strange sounds all over his body.

His eyes shone ominously.

Black demonic energy began to soar from the chest that had been severely cracked in the previous attack.

“I will dedicate myself to punishing my lord’s enemies!”

It was a berserk.

The Death Knight, who had already been seriously injured, was the last bastion with death as collateral.

This guy had judged Richard to be extremely dangerous.

“die!”

The Death Knight fired a new model at Richard. It was a much faster movement than before.

“young master!”

Aaron’s screams were heard.

Richard had already exhausted all his strength.

It’s a long way to avoid his sword with a body that can’t stand up.

As if splitting Richard, who had collapsed, the Death Knight’s great sword fell down.

Aaron couldn’t just sit still.

After shaking off the intermediate undead he was dealing with, he kicked the ground.

At the same time, the raised mana ran through the spear.

It took only an instant for Aaron to block the Death Knight’s way.

Aaron focused his mind as he watched the giant sword fall as if it were cutting through his field of vision.

It was time to write his season, which can only be used once, at present.

Riding Aaron’s spear, Mana climbed up like a snake.

Soon the spear and the giant sword collided.

Kwaaang-!

There was a roar and Aaron’s mana flipped.

The spear hit and climbed with the momentum to pierce the sword, but the Death Knight was an opponent that intermediate knights could not help.

It was also a great thing to block the sword he swung with sincerity.

however.

“Aaron, you… … !”

Richard’s eyes wavered mercilessly.

Blood poured from Aaron’s side. It was a wound caused by overdoing it in order to quickly shake off the undead he was dealing with.

In addition, his right arm was twisted.

Bright red blood flowed from not only the bones but also the muscles that had been torn by the use of the season.

“Do not disturb!”

Death Knight swung his sword with Ilgal. Aaron lifted the spear helplessly.

The window was cut too easily. Then it was his body. There were huge wounds from the shoulder to the waist, and blood gushed out.

Not an instant death, but an unmistakably fatal wound.

As he fell, the Death Knight raised his sword again.

Perhaps it was intended to cut down both Aaron and Richard at once, but the momentum was unusual.

It was then.

Richard opened his mouth.

“thanks. Aaron… … ! I lived thanks to you.”

Richard wasn’t looking at the Death Knight.

The place where the gaze was directed was the empty space behind him.

Something was flying at breakneck speed.

Quaang-!

At the same time as it fell, the new model of Aaron and Richard flew away.

◈ ◈ ◈

With a bang, I stopped the pouring blood.

Just before being cut to pieces by the Death Knight’s sword, Aaron and I, who had been hit by something, were stuck in a corner.

“If you’re going to help me, please help me out… … .”

I raised my head with difficulty.

“It’s over.”

I saw the savior Balak.

He ran through the air and blocked the Death Knight’s blade with two fingers.

“Yes, what are you!”

The Death Knight was shocked and tried to pull out the sword, but, well, his sword didn’t move at all.

Instead, Balak’s eyebrows twitched.

“Keep your mouth shut.”

Kwadeuk-

As he grabbed the Death Knight’s shoulder with his left hand, the hard armor crumpled like paper.

“This… … It’s really a trace of the Sword Master.”

Balak’s eyes were all on his chest.

A wound that split like a dry rice field around a large sword wound.

After the judgment, Balak’s momentum changed.

“You dare to touch my pupil.”

A much more heinous life force than the Death Knight’s magic spewed out at him.

When I saw it, I couldn’t hide my absurdity.

Whenever they said they would not accept me as a disciple, I became an irreplaceable disciple without realizing it.

“phew… … .”

In any case, it was fortunate that the gamble worked.

I didn’t think I’d be able to defeat him from the start.

Swordsman is an ultra-high swordsmanship that runs the top class in this world.

It was obvious that now I would not be able to fully draw out that power.

‘I called that inspiration instead.’

The engraving was given by Balak.

It is only natural, then, that when there is a change in the imprint, he receives some kind of signal.

Of course, I wouldn’t be able to call him right away with any change,

‘If the imprint is open, the story will be different.’

Didn’t it actually run like this?

Of course it was a gamble.

If my expectations were wrong, or if Balak had been a little late, Aaron and I would have been split in two long ago.

“Aaron! are you okay?”

Aaron was motionless. Fortunately, it was hidden, albeit weakly.

What would have happened if he hadn’t come forward?

His twisted right arm comes into view. He didn’t know if he didn’t get treatment soon, his life as a warrior might end.

However, he had no faith in the slightest since he was making a sword star right now.

A situation where there is no way.

He gnashed his teeth and turned his gaze toward Balak.

‘Grandpa! Please finish it quickly!’

Quagga Gaga-!

Three swords appeared behind Balak, who was emitting tremendous momentum.

Dark blue great swords. It was like watching martial arts martial arts.

Leaving only long tails, the stars stirring the air slaughtered the undead.

The battle between him and the undead could not be called a battle. It was just a one-sided massacre.

Balak took down all the undead without moving a single step.

Thinking of the hardships he had suffered before he came, it was futile.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Cylinder… … .”

Kwajik-

Soon, Balak trampled on the Death Knight’s skull and crushed it.

That was it.

“I really lived and died.”

After watching the end, the tension was relieved. The wounds all over his body caused excruciating pain.

“Wow!”

“We live! I live!”

At that moment, the residents cheered. People hugging each other or sobbing.

Among them, there were those who shouted the name of God.

“young master! Gwa, are you okay!”

Mary came running with tears in her eyes. Her cheek, which had been hit by Baron Hessen, was red and swollen.

“No, Aaron rather than me… … .”

“oh my god! uh, what kind of blood… … ! Whoa!”

Before I could say anything, Mary burst into tears.

Residents who shouted cheers jumped in surprise at the sound of Mary’s song.

“It’s not possible. young master!”

Residents began to weep at the sight of me covered in blood. The cheers quickly turned into a sea of cries.

“Cool!”

At that moment, blood poured out of his throat. It was the black blood that soaked my apron. Come to think of it, I was just as overworked as Aaron.

The sobbing around me grew louder.

‘that… … stop… … .’

I felt like I was going to die from a sore throat.

‘Ah, maybe I’ll really die.’

Looking at Balak approaching from far away with hands behind his back, he managed to let go of his mind.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Huh… … ! I’m a bastard!”

Balak frowned. The scene of grown adults crying was not very nice to see.

“Get out of the way.”

Balak shoved the people in his way and stood in front of Richard.

The sight of the bloody boy filled Balak’s eyes.

It’s been less than a week since Balak left Battenga.

In other words, the engraving of the ‘imprint’ is also recent.

“What the heck, how?”

Balak muttered in doubt.

He felt it clearly while doing errands in the Lofen Kingdom.

That sense of the opening of the imprint he carved.

As soon as I felt it, I stepped on the air and ran.

Considering that the distance between Lofen Kingdom and Snowfall is a one-day ride on horseback, they really ran like crazy.

What would have happened to Richard if he had been procrastinating just a little?

Knock-

I almost lost the lumber I had been looking for my whole life.

The Death Knight had already died, and Balak’s anger was directed at the knights.

“Since when did the knights of Battenga become so weak?”

“… … .”

“Your masters have been covered in blood, but you guys are fine. It’s to the point where the armor shines.”

Balak’s gaze, which exuded a terrifying spirit, turned to Aaron.

The wounds on him lying down next to Richard were serious.

The low-ranking knight hesitated and said.

“… … I am Sir Aaron Meyer, a mid-level knight who assists Master Richard on behalf of Sir Gide.”

“Tsk! You seem to have a lot of talent… … .”

Balak, who clicked his tongue for a moment, looked at Richard.

Because that’s what’s important now.

‘It wasn’t completely open.’

The inscription on the back of Richard’s hand was distorted. A strange pattern that seems to have been forcibly twisted.

By no means, it meant that it was not opened in the normal way.

But Ballack was not disappointed.

Rather admired.

“There’s never been a guy like this before!”

Who can twist the imprint?

I was very curious about how Richard did it, but I didn’t bother to find out.

One really fortunate thing is that Balak was able to accurately judge Richard and Aaron’s condition.

He took appropriate action with the herbs and potions he had.

Their wounds began to heal quickly.

“I’ll see you again soon.”

What amazing things will you show me next time?

After getting older, the excitement he hadn’t felt in a very long time stirred up Ballack’s excitement.

“Should I give you a present?”

It was when Balak was about to reach out to Richard. suddenly. Aaron also came into his eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Balak grinned.

“You are a bonus.”

The old man’s hand touched the two of them.
