# 197
197. Black Seed (5)
Ping!
The dagger that flew like a shot from her left hand was lodged in the saintess’s chest.
When the saintess hesitated, I kicked the ground and ran backwards. Because I didn’t have time to deal with them. First of all, finding Freea was an urgent priority.
‘All boss level.’
From a woman who fires magic like a machine cannon to a saintess who uses a bizarre ability, a beast of tremendous strength.
I saw him appear as a main character at the promotion ceremony, but I didn’t expect everyone to appear together here. If you deal with one person at a time, you might not be able to guarantee a win against three people.
I fell to the outskirts of the camp and looked back. They
no longer pursued me,
as if they were trying to deal with the troops of the contingent .
In the distance, thousands of soldiers could be seen sweeping away in rapid succession.
I looked around.
Troops could be seen through the flags flying over the hill at the entrance to the camp.
It was a church army.
‘It might not have been a good match from the beginning.’
I thought it might be useful to some extent.
I clicked my tongue lightly and accelerated.
[Order Army Soldier Lv.25] X 32
[Order Army Knight Lv.28] X 2
The troops of the Order Army had already infiltrated everywhere.
I kicked the one who rushed at me and put a knife through his chest. Then, after slashing down three people in a row, they headed for Freea’s barracks.
I heard the entrance to the barracks.
‘…I don’t have one.’
The interior is neatly organized.
It doesn’t look like you’ve been inside.
This meant that he was not in the barracks at the time of the invasion.
‘A place that Freea can go…’
There is only one place that I can guess.
I turned and headed for the trail leading to the cliff.
“Ugh!”
“Save me! Save me!”
There, too, the massacre continued.
The soldiers screamed desperately and brandished their swords.
They killed each other with a terrified look on their faces.
killing allies.
[You’re using a mysterious ability.]
In the middle of screaming and scattering piles of flesh.
The saintess was standing. Every time a purple light flashed from the half-opened left eye, the movements of the soldiers intensified.
[I am Irene Ikario. The 38th saintess of the Church of Tel Icar…]
My blade pierced the saintess’s heart.
I threw the saintess to the other side of the grass. The body of the saintess, who had been blown away with blood, wriggled on the pile of dirt.
The splattered blood is gathering into the hole in the heart.
I pierced a vital point with a dagger, but when I saw that it appeared here intact, I wondered,
‘Is this a regeneration?’
woo.
I spat bloody saliva and ran again.
Good thing you didn’t cancel the Exceed state. I was about to get stuck again.
That woman’s skill seemed to be some kind of demonic eye. It must be the control system.
I decided to refer to it when dealing with it later.
Fog gradually settled in front of my eyes.
Screams and the sound of spear knives continued in the fog.
I grabbed the bloody sword hilt loosely and jumped in.
“Ugh!”
Fria, holding a sword, was struggling against the five soldiers.
but not enough. The thick spear blade grazed Fria’s forearm. Freea groaned and let go of the sword. Subsequently, various weapons were fired at her vital points.
‘…’
It was right after that that I intervened.
I turned around while burrowing into Freea. A circular sword strike spread, splitting two spear blades and an axe. Then, after kicking the one who tried to insert the dagger, he swung his left hand. The blade of the sword that was heading for Freea’s nape was caught in her hand. I pulled my left hand and took the sword away from the soldier. and.
Kwajik.
Five soldiers whose bodies were torn to pieces collapsed at once.
“Whoa.”
I brushed my left hand.
Blood leaked out of the wrist.
“one…!”
“What are you so surprised about? Not once or twice. Skip the greeting. You’ll know when you see the situation.”
“This… what the hell happened?”
“The cultists are breaking in and messing around. We’ve been robbed.”
I caught my breath.
[‘Han(★★★★)”s exceed state has been canceled.]
Beetle.
At the moment, dizziness occurred along with the pain, but I was able to subside somehow.
“Then shouldn’t we fight back? Where is Lord Delphine…!”
“Follow me.”
“Aww!”
There is no time to explain.
I grabbed Freea’s wrist and got out of there.
If you take the road to the left of the camp, you will come to the landing site. After taking the airship from there, he planned to escape to the sky.
‘By the way…’
I touched my forehead.
Flames were rising from the landing site in the distance.
The few airships that escaped also fell into a pile of fire in the ensuing shelling.
‘X feet.’
“one!”
then where should i go
If you take another exit from the camp, you will find a plain.
Although it is wide, it is not suitable for escaping because it is open on all sides.
‘Isn’t there a choice?’
If the landing site is blocked anyway, there is no escape route other than the plains.
I grabbed Freea’s wrist and turned around.
“Cow, let go of your hand. I will follow you.”
“then.”
I let go.
Freea touched her wrist with teary eyes and looked at me.
“Did you take the key?”
“Always have it with you.”
“Stay behind me and follow me.”
It seems that the main unit of the Church Army has also entered the camp.
Blood was splattered everywhere and screams rang out loudly.
It was a one-sided massacre.
I moved, hiding myself among the trees and grass.
Freea squirmed along from behind.
“This… what the heck…”
[Ahahaha! Die, die!]
Bang! Bang bang!
Persene was shooting magic orbs from the sky.
Freea’s complexion turned white.
“The author…”
“Is it nice to see you again?”
“That placid Lord Persene oops… oops!”
I covered Freea’s mouth.
The exit leading to the outside of the camp was blocked by the Church’s troops.
A middle-aged man with a dignified appearance stands tall in front of him. Beast King Kiadni.
‘shit.’
Turned around.
Take the left exit again.
A saintess in white was standing at the exit on the left.
After that, I saw the Holy Knights dressed in silver armor.
[There is nowhere to run, hero.]
Persene, who was floating in the air, came down to the ground.
“…”
The left, the right, and the front are blocked.
Three people stand in the way, one defense at a time. Behind the camp was a cliff dropping to the ground.
“How would you like it…?”
Fria gulped as she looked at me.
‘Breaking through the front?’
dismissed.
The odds are too low.
It’s okay if I’m alone, but Freea is there.
If so, is there any other way?
“…That’s great.”
I closed my eyes.
I remembered the map of Buyeo Island that I had stared at all night yesterday.
A conclusion came shortly after.
“Pria, follow me.”
“Where are you planning to go?”
“To the cliff.”
“There…”
I said nothing.
Fria looked up at me and nodded.
“Okay. I don’t trust you.”
“Don’t trust me too much.”
Freea and I headed for the cliff behind the camp.
The church forces knew our location, so there was no need to hide.
Whoops.
The wind pushed me.
I looked behind me with my feet firmly planted on the ground.
Beyond the sheer cliffs, the distant ground was peeped out.
Freea squeezed my collar tightly.
I smiled and swung my sword.
Hundreds of soldiers and dozens of knights.
Three executives were approaching me from different directions.
“Hero, if you were going to run away, you should have abandoned that bitch. I could have let her go.”
Persene grinned.
“If I had a chance, I would have liked to fight as a warrior versus a warrior. It’s a pity.”
Kiadney walked over with her arms crossed.
[…]
The saintess with her eyes closed approached me without a sound.
‘I want this.’
This is a personal mission that can only be accomplished by one person.
The difficulty level rises vertically, and it is about to break through the graph and jump out.
I have no conscience.
Not even a day or two.
“Pass that year.”
said Persene.
“Sir Persene!”
“I don’t want to hear your voice, so shut up.”
“Wait, listen! I speak Taoni…”
“I told you to shut up!”
Persene shouted with bloodshot eyes.
“Don’t open that filthy mouth in front of me that sold us out!”
Freea closed her mouth with a beaten face.
Persene looked back at me and smiled.
“Hero, let’s talk about it again. Do you think there’s a chance to win? Wouldn’t it be better to make a different choice to preserve your life?”
[Your Highness has a very high opinion of you.]
The saintess stepped forward.
“If you’re a good warrior like you, you deserve to be together. Hand over that girl and come this way, warrior.”
Next, the beast king helped.
I thought for a while and then spit it out.
“If I hand over Freea, what will happen to this guy?”
“Yes…”
Persene raised her right hand.
Charleuk! The wind blew like a blade.
“We have to bring back the pain we’ve gone through dozens of times. We’ll make it impossible to live or die. To let you taste all the pain in this world. We’ll make you cry out for wanting to die, please kill us.”
“Traitors deserve their due.”
[I agree.]
I looked back.
“…one.”
Freea was looking at me with wet eyes.
There was no sense of mission as a princess.
There was only one girl who was terrified of what was to come.
“Yes, if you live, it’s okay, it’s okay. Me, pass me over…
”
I pushed Freea’s forehead.
and looked ahead
[Hero, we have a cause. The cause of saving all who are suffering in this world. Don’t you know that this world is wrong?]
The saintess’ voice rang in my head.
There is magic in the voice itself.
“Yes, it’s a cause. It’s a plan to destroy this wrong world and put everyone in peace. I’ll tell you the truth you never knew. What we’ve been through, why we’re like this. What that bitch did. Traitor.” The ugly reality of the year…”
“It’s fucking shit.”
Persene’s face hardened in an instant.
“The truth you didn’t know? Ugly entity?”
I laughed.
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t stand it.
The laughter flowed out naturally.
I don’t know what they were like before.
But now it’s just.
“Why do I go to a place where only nerds gather?
” Did you do it?”
I twisted my lips.
“Are you the only one unlucky? Do you think you’re the only one who’s gone through such rubbish?”
“…”
“Because they got caught up in something completely irrelevant and shed blood, almost ran into it several times, and some of them are still rolling on the dirt floor.” Every day is a fight
. It was hell.
It was a painful day of life and death several times. I
killed countless enemies and watched my comrades die to the point of getting sick of it.
But I said
, “I don’t take out my anger unnecessarily.”
She must have known
that Fria was only being used by Tell
.
I’m paying the price.
I didn’t drag others into the abyss just because I was in a bad situation. I
finish the bad luck with me.
And I overcome it.
“Tell your captain. Don’t be a jerk, just wash your throat until you’re done.”
“…”
The three of them didn’t say anything.
They just looked at me with cold eyes.
I grinned
.
“Is that a will?”
Persene murmured,
in an emotionless tone.
I didn’t answer, but looked back.
“Pria.”
She whispered and nodded.
“Hold on tight. Don’t miss it.”
“Oh, I see.”
Freea gripped her sleeve tightly.
I turned the sword around and looked forward again.
The three of them were slowly approaching me
. I’ll do it.”
“Crazy bastard.”
Persene held out her hand to me.
I held out my left middle finger and grabbed Freea,
then threw herself over the cliff.
