#Episode 197 (Side Story Episode 10)
Gram entered the village of Oppenharum at a full sprint.
Gram’s steps were heavier and more urgent than ever.
“please.”
Turp-plop-
As we entered the village, the surrounding fire grew stronger.
Eventually, when we arrived in front of the fountain located in the center of the village, the residents of Oppenharum were kneeling around the Paykan mercenaries.
“ha.”
When Gram appeared, the people who were more surprised than anyone else were the Paykan mercenaries.
Especially among their group.
When Chala saw Gram like that, he seemed to secretly welcome him.
“Oh, I can’t believe you came here on your own feet. You have quite a strong heart, don’t you? “I thought you would get scared and run away like a rat.”
Challa didn’t even know how Gram was feeling right now.
They taunted Gram with all sorts of provocations.
At that moment, Gram gave an order.
“Release it immediately.”
“what?”
“Release the people here immediately.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! why me?”
Having no idea what Gram’s condition was right now, the moment only made him more upset.
“I guess I’ll have no choice but to solve it.”
“You can solve it yourself.”
“… “Don’t complain.”
Gram quickly took out several arrows from his quiver.
Soon, without hesitation, he aimed his bow at the mercenary group surrounding him.
Pak- Pak-
Thanks to Gram’s quick drawing, the six Paykan mercenaries fell to the ground.
“It’s your turn next.”
After that, it seems like the next target has been decided. Without fail, Gram aimed his bow at Chala once again.
“You think you’ll be accepted so easily?!”
Even for a moment, I didn’t just accept it.
While dodging the arrows that flew in succession, he also tried to counterattack.
“I hope Arken’s death was not in vain!”
Chala took out his dual swords and aimed them at Gram’s neck.
Just as Arken’s head fell off in Gram’s hands.
He intended to give the same to Gram.
“I’ll cut your head the same way.”
However, Charla looked down on Gram too much.
Gram had already surpassed his limit and Challa couldn’t even touch a single hair.
Gram kept a certain distance towards the charging moment.
He was the one pulling the bowstring without fail.
puck-
“Ugh!”
The moment an arrow pierced his chest, he stopped in place.
Although blood was bleeding from one side of his chest, Chala did not put down his dual swords.
After hesitating for a moment, he took one step at a time and approached Gram.
“I’ll kill you!”
But, it was no use.
As he got closer and closer to Gram, the number of arrows hitting his body also increased.
Pak-
“Ugh!!”
The arrows shot by Gram were lodged in every nook and cranny of Charla’s body.
He knelt on the floor, coughing up blood.
Even though he was the temporary leader of Paykan, he finally died.
Seeing this, the remaining Paykan mercenaries, not knowing what to do, were frozen like tombstones.
“Release it now. “Before you guys end up like that too.”
“… “Okay, I understand.”
The Paykan mercenaries were overwhelmed by Gram’s spirit and immediately began releasing the trapped residents.
Eventually, Gram was the first to approach Raina.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“… no.”
“Thank goodness.”
“I thought I’d never see you again.”
“No way. I have to come back somehow. “To protect it.”
“yes?”
“… “There is such a thing.”
Raina’s face was literally covered with scars.
Also, not only her thin arms but also her legs were completely intact.

“Can you get up?”
“… yes.”
Reina tried to get up from the spot with Gram’s help.
Although she felt uncomfortable and looked as if she might collapse again at any moment.
Gram continued to support her close by.
“… thank you.”
“The fire is probably going to get stronger, so we should move to a safe place first.”
“yes.”
Eventually, it was time for the residents to evacuate Raina to a safe place.
An unexpected and urgent situation began to arise once again.
Kiyak-!
At that moment, with a ravenous sound, monsters began to attack Oppenharum.
“It’s a monster!”
“Do, run away!”
“I don’t want to die.”
For a moment, I thought I had had some time to relax.
When hundreds of monsters appeared, Gram was not pleased.
“If you want to die, go for it as much as you want.”
Gram confidently stepped forward.
I thought that the only one who could protect this village was myself.
Soon, Gram grabbed Renia’s shoulder.
“I will bide my time here, so take the people here and run away as far as possible, as far away as possible. “As far away as possible!”
“No! “I can’t just leave you alone.”
“I will follow soon. Don’t worry and run away. “I don’t have time!”
“Sobbing. mister.”
“Don’t follow me. certainly.”
“… “You must, definitely come!”
“of course.”
Leaving behind unstoppable tears.
Raina did not give up easily.
However, Gram was more cool-headed than ever and had to win Rayna’s heart back.
‘I don’t want to repeat it again.’
Gram still had vivid memories of that day. The scene where his younger sister is brutally murdered while surrounded by monsters… .
When he remembers that day, Gram’s heart still flutters.
I really wanted to stop missing out on precious kites.
He wanted to protect the residents, including Raina, this time.
“What are you doing! “Go quickly!”
At Gram’s shout, Raina had no choice but to start taking heavy steps.
Although she couldn’t easily turn her back on him, she couldn’t shake off Gram’s words.
“please! please! “You have to come back.”
Nod-
Gram just nodded and smiled without saying a word.
It was also a smile for Raina.
Soon, the residents of Oppenharum and Reina left the village with heavy steps.
Seeing this, the monsters that couldn’t stay still tried to attack the residents, but Gram didn’t stay still.
“Hey, you should play with me, right?”
Gram is among a group of monsters.
The biggest one was distracted, so he quickly approached the back of the red-colored ‘Tauren’.
“Are you the leader?”
Phuuk-
Gram instantly plunged the dagger into the tauren’s abdomen.
At this, tauren blood poured out in all directions.
Ugh!!
When the Tauren got angry, they got angry. For a moment, the guy’s pupils, which had been dark, changed to light green.
Steam was rising.
The steam was getting stronger, and along with it, the size of the body was also increasing.
Wow!
With a heated roar, the tauren swung the double-edged ax he was holding at Gram.
Boom-
Of course, Gram’s reaction speed was never inferior to the Tauren’s onslaught.
However, it was true that the situation was not favorable, as not only the Tauren but also other monsters targeted Gram.
Moreover, there were several residents who had not yet been able to leave Oppenharum.
Protecting them should not be forgotten either.
“You can’t miss it.”
Without fail, Gram raised his bow towards the monsters charging at the residents.
Even in imminent situations, there was no error in Gram’s zero point.
As arrows were fired one after another, the arrows hit the heart of the shooting monsters, and they had no choice but to fall helplessly.
“I don’t miss a single one.”
Gram’s drawing continued.
Even if there are dozens or hundreds of monsters.
He had no intention of letting a single monster live.
Kiik-!
The corpses of monsters piled up in front of him.
Before we knew it, this village began to be filled with monster corpses.
In the meantime.
The monsters in the group paused for a moment.
As if waiting for someone.
They often smiled in a rather hateful way.
Soon, the sound of grand footsteps came from behind Gram.
Dung- Dung-
“… “What is it again this time?”
A huge monster that appeared before Gram’s eyes.
It was ten times more majestic and gigantic than the ‘Tauren’ he had faced just moments ago.
“You invited a new friend.”
In fact, it was so reminiscent of a Giant Tauren that Gram had to raise his head to make eye contact with it.
The Giant Tauren was filled with rage when he saw the corpses of monsters lying all over the place, and he screamed.
Kuaaa-!
He lifted a double-edged ax that was much larger than a typical tauren and swung it wildly at Gram.
Because it was a monster with a large body, it felt like it had a greater impact.
“It won’t be easy.”
I immediately thought that Gram would not be an easy opponent.
Moreover, in addition to the Giant Tauren, there were still monsters swarming around Gram.
I didn’t think it would be easy to subdue.
***
Meanwhile, Raina and the residents tried to get as far away from Oppenharum as possible.
The village’s population of nearly 200 people was reduced to less than 100, with more than half of them already dead.
Everyone’s expressions were frozen.
“Sobbing… .”
“I lost everything. “My daughter and my house.”
“Where should we go now?”
In one day, of course, I lost my family.
The people of Oppenharum village fell into despair after their homes were all burned down. They had a hard time even giving up.
In the meantime, Raina’s gaze was always directed towards Oppenharum.
Because I was concerned about the person who was protecting Oppenharum alone for the people of this village.
What’s more, the entire village has become a sea of fire and is infested with all kinds of monsters.
I couldn’t help but be even more worried about Gram.
“Are you really going to come back?”
All Rayna could think about was Gram.
I could only hope that he would keep his promise to come back, and I even began to think back to the first time I met him.
Eventually, one step at a time, with difficulty, I turned my back and tried to escape from the village.
Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from beyond the entrance to Oppenharum Village, and her heart began to pound loudly.
