NOVEL NEXT Episode 46
Episode 46
If you keep injured people behind you, you’ll have to respond to your opponent’s action until they’re able to return to war again. So, they left the one who was injured.
Three people charged at me, each brandishing their weapons.
As I parried their consecutive attacks with my dagger and stepped back, their expressions brightened.
“Hey hey! Clown Brother, you’re weaker than I thought!”
“For your level, you ain’t that nimble!”
“I think I can really take you down with this!”
Seems like they misunderstood that they were pushing me.
I was just observing their skills for reference, nothing more.
They didn’t use auto-attack skills. They must understand the pros and cons.
Well then, that’s enough.
I used [Parrying] on an attack from a nearby man.
With this skill, I can stop enemy movement the moment they attack.
“Wha!?”
One man came out to protect the guy who couldn’t move.
So, considering the one helping the guy recover earlier, there are only two left. No, he left the guy recovering and charged in.
As I stepped back,
“Not good to leave the injured alone.”
“Huh?”
Threw a dagger with [Throwing].
The recovering guy couldn’t react. My knife pierced his belly, and he fell to his knees. Can’t finish him yet. Never thought he couldn’t react, so didn’t aim for his throat.
I seem to have overestimated my opponent.
Another hurried to protect him.
“You! Don’t get cocky!”
“I’ll kill you!”
The two remaining attacked with skills, so I dodged one’s attack.
Then grabbed the other’s wrist while dodging his attack.
“Here you go.”
“Huh!?”
Forcedly pulled him to tilt his upper body and pushed his back.
The sword of the man activating a skill hit the guy who had just recovered from [Parrying].
“Guaa!?”
“Crap!?”
And while they were distracted, I finished off the man closest to me.
“What the hell is this?”
I won’t wait for the man screaming in despair to recover.
I’ll send him back to his friends immediately, leaving only two women and four rear guards left.
This opens up attacks from behind.
“R-run! Time to run… Guwa!?”
I used the two as a shield and used [Throwing] with daggers while dodging arrows and magic attacks.
Seems like they’re hiding in the trees, but it’s obvious from their voices.
…Ah, I had a skill too.
I attacked them while using skills.
The two women who tried to escape won’t get away. They expose their backs, making it easier to hit them with daggers, almost like a target practice.
Leaving the girls stumbling and unable to move, I headed towards the forest.
They’re running in all directions, but don’t think you can escape from me!
—
“Big brother. It’s amazing that you took down so many…”
“Well, it wasn’t as challenging as I thought.”
They all had quite a bit of equipment and gold.
Some were named. Since their player names and IDs are displayed next to them, I should register them for limited sale at the shop.
If I place them at Lulura, the rightful owners should show up, and then I can return them.
I’ll post information on the bulletin board; they should come to retrieve them.
If they don’t come, I’ll just keep them for myself.
Other than that, there’s no particularly outstanding equipment, so I might as well sell it.
“Alright, let’s move on.”
“Huh? Aren’t we taking a break?”
“There’s new sighting information on the bulletin board. Come on, let’s go.”
“When did you check the bulletin board?”
“During the battle. You can get used to it surprisingly quickly. It’s like looking left and right simultaneously.”
“Huh? Um…”
Lulura tried hard, looking right and left at the same time.
…Well, normal people can’t do that.
As I laughed, Lulura puffed up her cheeks in realization.
“Did you tease me again?”
“Would I do such a thing?”
“I think you would!”
“Excellent answer.”
“Mm!”
I’ll upload a short video of Lulura trying to look right and left at the same time later.
While instructing the editing of the current segment to the clone, I headed towards the next subjugation.
