My Wife the Empress is Becoming Frightening

34 – 34. I had a lot to ask, but

Episode 34

Some say. This is an unprecedented period of peace.

Garel answered. Don’t be a jerk.

“Ugh?!”

“You idiot! Don’t go deep alone!”

Garrel, who grabbed and threw the imperial knight who was about to be decapitated, continued to run without slowing down.

Miles and Colton, who were waiting for him, swung their swords simultaneously in each direction in line with Garrel’s movements. Three sword strikes attacking the black knight.

[Although it’s quite right.]

It was a coordinated attack by three knight-level strongmen with a sharply trained aura, but the black knight counterattacked leisurely.

“Ouch!”

Garrel, who had fallen out with Miles and Colton, tried to get up quickly, but it was impossible. A large lump of blood vomited from Garel’s mouth as he stumbled and fell due to his loosened knee.

‘Is this aura broken?’

Seeing that even the aura she had been holding on to since the start of the battle had broken, it seemed that she had reached her limit.

Garel’s body was in disarray as the aura that covered his entire body was shattered and he received the Black Knight’s savage aura almost naked.

Maybe Miles and Colton aren’t that different. Other knights were struggling in place of the three fallen, but it was only a matter of time anyway.

‘If he hadn’t fought over the Moonlight Troupe guys in the first place, it would have ended a long time ago.’

The Black Knight was unable to use his power to protect the members of the Moonlight Troupe, including Angelica Pax.

If he had given all his strength, the match would have been settled quickly, but instead the troupe members wouldn’t have been safe.

‘This side is fighting to the death from the beginning. Anyway, all of the heroes of the class… … .’

This was already the third time Garel had met the hero class. It’s the second time I’ve fought.

Originally, Garel was born and raised in a mercenary group known for being tough and strong called the Slay Mercenary. Even in times of peace, conflicts are everywhere, so the demand for mercenaries is never ending.

Among the many mercenaries on the continent, the Slay mercenaries were counted on one hand. Garel, who grew up in it, quickly became a top-notch player.

‘It’s a story until the mercenaries were destroyed by Half Devil Valentino Knox, picked up by passing slave traders, and sold as underworld gladiator slaves.’

Escape was possible at any time. But I didn’t. For Garel, who had lost the will to live due to the shock of the massacre of his family, the mercenaries, it was a good thing that he was in a situation like himself.

He lived as a gladiator slave, but because of his attitude that he had no intention of winning or losing, his skills were judged to be ambiguous and he was sold here and there.

‘Now that I think about it, my life has been quite eventful.’

It was sold, sold, sold to Abrarum, flowed into the islands, and then sold again to the imperial government. After becoming a hound and living as a hunting dog, they recently became the emperor’s direct escort.

‘And the last one is to die while fighting the enemies of the Empire together with the Imperial Knights?’

After the Empress’ Rebellion and becoming the current Hound, Garel projected the mercenary group, which was a family in the past, onto them.

My personality has brightened considerably and I have the will to live again, but that seems to have been until today.

“hmm. Well, not bad. It’s okay.”

The body that had been forcibly raised screamed for it to fall again, but Garel ignored it. Even if you die when you die, wouldn’t it be less embarrassing to die after trying everything you’ve tried?

‘It’s a little regretful to die without being able to challenge Valentino Knox again.’

It wasn’t for revenge. The Slay mercenaries, including the old self, were arrogant. Thinking that they are the strongest, they coveted greater fame and eventually challenged the opponent they should not touch.

In return, he was defeated and died. Although there was sadness, there was no resentment.

“I just wanted to compete with him again, who had a premonition of death and couldn’t help admiring it.”

Unfortunately, I think I will have to promise the next life. Seeing Garrel stand up, the fallen knights, including Miles and Colton, stood up one by one.

It is the last sword in my life. Even if they disappear without being remembered and remain unrecorded in history, they wanted to go after they performed well enough to satisfy them.

[…] … good night.]

Did you feel the determination? The black knight raised his sword again and straightened his posture. Just before Garel and the knights thanked him for showing respect for the warriors he would kill.

“Oh, wait a minute, time!”

Through the tense tension, someone intruded between them.

—

“Time is time! don’t you know the time? Uh, is this a word only used in Meyer Kingdom?”

Inside the helmet, the black knight blinked. He stared at the unknown someone who suddenly jumped out loud.

It’s obviously a first look. have never met But the dark knight couldn’t figure out why it felt strangely familiar.

Unaware of the black knight’s confusion, Samuel cleared his throat and pretended to clear his throat before opening his mouth again.

“Hmm. My name is Samuel Mayer, the younger brother of Isaac Mayer. As you may know, my eldest brother is very strong, right? So, why don’t we go back?”

[what?]

The Black Knight was dumbfounded. For a moment, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, but when he saw the faces of the imperial knights facing him, it seemed that he was not mistaken.

That guy named Samuel was really threatening himself. It is also by borrowing the prestige of others who have never heard of it.

[…] … .]

I wasn’t sure if I really hadn’t heard of it, but it didn’t change that it was unpleasant.

[It’s not enough to arbitrarily intervene in battle, so low-quality threats like that. Are you mocking me now?]

“What a joke. Are you real? It’s not a joke my big brother. Going back quickly now is for you.”

At this point, it was confusing whether it was a threat or a provocation. The Black Knight wasn’t the only one who thought so. Realizing how things were going, Garrel yelled at Samuel.

“What are you talking about! If you really are the captain’s brother, get out of here! If I let my younger brother die, I won’t be able to lift my head up to the captain even after I die!”

“Don’t say what I have to say first! I know someone came because they wanted to come!”

“yes… … ?”

While Garrel, who had never imagined that he would shout in front of him, gave out a foolish voice, Samuel huffed up and picked up the sword that had fallen nearby.

“My desire to go back to the dorm where the woman I love is waiting for me is like a chimney! But my big brother always loses his men! It can’t be helped in Mayer, but can’t you see the heart of your younger brother who doesn’t want to go through that even in the empire!”

It wasn’t that it wasn’t sad because it always happened. Rather, the Meirs were wary of being blunted by sorrow.

Being blunted by the sadness of death means that the obsession of life will soon fade.

Garrel didn’t even know what the Mayers were thinking, but he had no choice but to accept because of the momentum.

“Oh, yeah… … .”

“And I have to save you to get hit less!”

“… … yes?”

-Quaang!

“Samuel!”

Seeing Samuel repeating incomprehensible words, the Black Knight, who had crossed the critical point of patience, blew a huge sword at Samuel.

Garrel and the Imperial Knights, who saw the sword strike directly at Samuel, screamed and ran.

[Hoo.]

Contrary to their concerns, Samuel, who emerged from the dust, was standing there in good shape. He was frowning as if his arm was in excruciating pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

“Damn it! It hurts so bad!”

No, I couldn’t stand it.

[It wasn’t just words. I apologize for belittling you.]

“Since I don’t have to apologize, can I continue to look down on you?”

Contrary to Samuel’s heartfelt wish, the black knight continued to blow his sword.

The imperial knights, including Garel, couldn’t avoid the sword skill, so they barely managed to block it once and fall down, but Samuel continued to ‘leak’ the black knight’s sword skill.

[Great? [It is safe to say that he has almost reached the level of dodging and avoiding attacks.]

The Black Knight, who saw that the others could no longer get up, was the first to step forward. There is a way to continuously blow out sword energy and drain it, but I decided that it would take time.

[Let’s see if we can shed it while facing the sword directly.]

Until he said that, the Black Knight actually thought that Samuel would not be able to take his sword directly.

Samuel was clearly strong, but at least he was at a similar level to the countless imperial knights he had defeated. He thought that no matter how good he was at dodging and throwing away, he would not be able to block his sword swung at close range.

[It continues to amaze me.]

I had to admit it with pure admiration as I endured without collapsing.

Even though it seemed like he was about to be thrown back by the black knight’s sword, Samuel moved from a stance in which he was about to collapse to a stance to immediately continue his defense.

As Samuel himself knew, he could not defeat the Black Knight with his own power even if the sky turned upside down. So, he was concentrating on defense only with the thought that he would not fall.

Since childhood, Samuel has been extremely weak compared to his family. The family was always worried that he would go somewhere and be beaten.

His family, who had been worried over and over again, came to the conclusion that they should just not get it right.

As a result, Samuel was injected with the literal meaning of the word, as if he was beaten only for evasion and defense from the time he reached the age where he could hold a sword.

As a result.

“If I make up my mind and focus only on defense, even if my big brother is my opponent, I can last up to a minute!”

It is said that he has reached the point where he can take his time even against hero-level strongmen who are far stronger than him.

[But there is no point in just holding on.]

Samuel’s sword broke after being hit on the face by the Black Knight’s sword, which changed its trajectory in the middle of the swing.

Garrel quickly threw his own sword at Samuel, who threw the broken sword at the black knight and stepped back.

Samuel, who received it, once again received the black knight’s sword, but it was clear to anyone that it was not the first momentum.

The time when the Black Knight, Garel, and the Imperial Knights fought was only a few minutes. Then, less than 2 minutes passed before Samuel, who came in from behind, dealt with the black knight alone.

In the end, Samuel had to kneel before the black knight.

[I endured well, but it was only to earn time.]

The black knight, aiming his sword, asked Samuel, who was breathing heavily without the strength to respond at the end of exhausting even the strength he had been suckling.

[You fought well. If you have any last words, please listen.]

“Whoa… … Do you know why I was wasting my time with bullsh*t, even though I knew I couldn’t win, and still screaming and holding on?”

[hmm? What do you mean by that?]

There was no reason. But Samuel was sure. sure to come

“Did I make it clear at first? It’s not a joke, my big brother.”

It wasn’t by words. At that moment, according to Kangja’s unique intuition, the black knight’s eyes, which looked up at the sky without realizing it, opened wide in the helmet.

A huge black flag falling from the sky.

Obviously, he was aiming for the troupe members of the Moonlight Troupe, not himself.

[Kuh… !]

The black knight, who immediately flew back and stood in front of the members, blew the same sword and managed to offset it before it was too late.

The black knight, who had been protecting Angelica from flying in the aftermath of the explosion of the sword blades in the air, turned around and stared ahead when the storm stopped.

The person standing in front of Samuel as if to protect him was also glaring at him.

“If we meet again, there are many things I would like to ask you, but let’s ask this one question for now. Did you hit my brother?”

Isaac’s aura, which became life itself, soared with momentum to pierce the night sky.

Samuel, who had been looking at the back of his older brother, who hadn’t seen him in a long time and was genuinely pissed off, moved his eyes to the black knight and smiled.

‘Did you see it? Aren’t you kidding my big brother?’
