Chapter 23. The night guest appears without warning. (6)
“Just now….”
Someone stuttered to open their mouth,
“Kirrrrrrr!”
“Whoa!”
The monster’s attack, which had stopped for a moment, surged again and it had to be stopped quickly.
“We’ll talk later! I’ll help you first!”
“Everyone get into formation!”
People quickly took their positions and rushed forward.
Their faces were full of gratitude and regret toward those who had guarded the line before them, as well as shame for their actions earlier.
“joy.”
I turned my head away from them.
“…….”
Then, I finally made eye contact with the members who had taken a moment to catch their breath and were catching their breath with their backs to each other.
“lol.”
“young master.”
They rolled their eyes and smiled foolishly.
“What are you laughing about?”
Although he struck me in an indifferent tone, I couldn’t stop the corner of my mouth from curling slightly.
“If you want to rest, get up quickly.”
The members smiled and stood up. Even though he was wearing blood-covered armor, his mouth was full of smiles.
“Aren’t we already first in terms of number of monsters killed?”
“I don’t think there will be any problem if I rest from now on?”
Some people complained.
Despite his words, the way he warmed up showed that he had no intention of resting at all.
“Just being first isn’t enough.”
I also said, wiping the blood from my sword onto the monster’s corpse.
“It has to be overwhelming and absolute number one.”
The members responded by holding their swords again. Klaus, who fell earlier, was also there.
Crash!
I and the Obest Knights became one again and started running. Into a battlefield that has already become chaos.
❖ ❖ ❖
“haha.”
“Huh, huh.”
People fell down on the ground. Some people even leaned on their swords and closed their eyes, as if they didn’t have the strength to do so.
Whioooo!
All around me as far as I could see were corpses, corpses, corpses of monsters of various sizes and shapes.
It was truly a grueling battle.
There was no need to think about anything other than just killing the opponent. If you don’t kill it, you will die.
“Ugh.”
“Keueuuuuu.”
Some even groaned, clutching their cuts or sprains.
Because the battle was long and there were many monsters, the severity of the injuries was more severe than other times.
Medics were busy walking around and treating the injured.
“after…….”
I also let out a long breath with a tired look on my face.
The sky, which had been pitch black, had suddenly become much lighter. It meant that the sun would soon rise over the horizon.
‘I stayed up all night.’
It was a similar schedule to usual in that we moved during the day and at night.
But the fatigue I felt was much more extreme. There were no injuries at all, but it was mental fatigue from repeated battles.
‘I killed too many.’
I deliberately killed monsters with Requiem at night to reduce the amount of bloodshed during the day.
But that wasn’t possible this time.
“…….”
My whole body was sticky with the monster’s blood. Every time she took a breath, the concentrated scent of blood assaulted her nostrils and drove her into a daze.
Now there is no monster’s roar, and all that is around is the moaning and breathing of people.
Kikekekeke!
Whoop!
The monster’s laughter still lingered in my ears. I had a strong urge to draw my sword and shut that thing up right now.
“…….”
The arm that was constantly killing monsters only had the sense of cutting, cutting, and stabbing the opponent’s body.
Now, it doesn’t matter if the opponent is a human instead of a monster.
‘… … no.’
The ferocious mania and the excitement of Requiem stimulated me at the same time.
Grumble.
My stomach twisted strangely, and I felt nauseous, as if something was coming out at any moment.
I felt bad for some reason. Even more than usual.
‘Must avoid…’ … .’

I had to get away from this place where everything stimulates my five senses. The moment you try to get up with your legs strong, “-!”
I realized that even that wasn’t easy.
Grumble, murmur.
Every time I moved, I felt like something inside my body was flowing out. It could have been murderous intent, or it could have been my madness that I was unable to control.
“young master.”
Conrad approached me, wiping away his blood-soaked hair.
“Fortunately, the battle was completed without any injuries.”
“…….”
“There is no need for you to teach me personally…”
Conrad’s expression suddenly changed as he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay?”
“…don’t make me talk.”
He barely parted his lips, but Conrad’s face became more serious.
“Are you hurt somewhere? I’ll call a medic right away.”
“…No, so shut up.”
His voice, which made a rough, metallic sound, resembled that of a monster scratching its throat just before it died.
It’s like there’s a monster right in front of your eyes.
Crawl, Crawl, Crawl.
The speed at which something began to flow became faster. Now, even if I tried to block it with both hands, it wasn’t enough.
The unrefined, rough killing intent began to escape through my fingers and pool on the ground.
“-!”
Conrad felt this and took a step back.
“No, master. But that doesn’t mean you’re willing to live….”
A flash of light.
My eyes moved quickly to look at him.
“……I’ll just shut up.”
Conrad turned around with a pitiful appearance that did not suit his appearance. And then he trudged towards the other members.
“Ugh.”
I tried to take my eyes off him, but all my senses followed Conrad’s back like hunting prey.
If you cut that wide back, how much fragrant blood would pour out. How sweet the heart, buried deep inside, must be.
“…….”
Just thinking about it made my mouth water.
‘Damn it.’
I closed my eyes tightly to suppress the upward impulse.
Excited, Excited.
My heart was beating irregularly, and my five senses became insanely sensitive.
Because of that, it was not easy to block myself from the sensations around me. Now I can feel the living things around me as vividly as if I were scanning them with my hands.
“……ah.”
At the end of that sensation, I felt something foreign. Something different from human life.
‘no way?’
Suddenly I opened my eyes and focused on that. The absolute realm spread out, covering the surrounding area like a spider web.
“-!”
My face hardened.
‘This is crazy.’
Without having time to organize my thoughts, I quickly looked for Mikel who was nearby.
“Are you feeling okay? Get up quickly.”
He was traveling around the battlefield taking care of people.
“Lord Mikel!”
I ran towards him with a sense of urgency. Forcibly pushing in something that was pouring out in tears.
“Oh, Prince Abel.”
Mikel heard the voice and turned his head towards me.
“You were safe. Of course I thought so.”
“That’s important now….”
The moment I opened my mouth, an enchanting scent, almost heavenly, assaulted me.
“-!”
He quickly covered his nose and mouth and stepped back.
“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”
Mikel completely turned around with a puzzled look on his face. One sleeve that had been torn off was seen to be stained red.
“The arm….”
“Oh, you mean this?”
He waved his arm around like it was no big deal.
“It’s no big deal. As I get older, my body isn’t what it used to be.”
It is rare for Mikel of the World to be injured during battle.
I could roughly guess the situation. This was because Jorgen, the knight standing behind him, was becoming restless.
“My lord, because of me….”
“Don’t say that. How will I return to the Nord territory without you?”
Watching the two people creating a heart-warming scene, I couldn’t relax at all.
Crawl, Crawl, Crawl, Crawl.
The scent spreading from the tip of Mikel’s arm was so sweet. It made me want to cut off that arm and bury my nose in the blood that was gushing out.
‘Anyway, this guy or that guy… … .’
I bit my lip and barely suppressed my desire.
Why are there so many people who do not take care of themselves but take care of others?
In my eyes, Derek and Mikel were the same.
Everyone was stupid and pathetic. But what was even more crazy was that I didn’t particularly dislike those two people.
Even though I never intend to be like them.
“……coming.”
That feeling helped me pull myself together. I barely managed to move my mouth without pulling out my sword.
Mikel turned his gaze away from Jorgen.
“Huh? What did you say just now?”
“……The enemy is coming again.”
“what?”
I didn’t have the strength to say any more, so I just raised my arms.
The color drained from Mikel’s face when he saw where my hand was heading.
“Such nonsense….”
Sabak, Sabak.
The sound of stepping on snow was heard from the hills beyond.
Crying-
Kkkkkkk.
At the ferocious cries that accompanied him, the people lying on the floor gradually raised their heads. When everyone’s eyes turned upward, Tabak.
Rufus, a monster that looked similar to a wolf but had long fangs that grew below its chin, was standing there.
They are three times larger than the monsters we have encountered so far, and they tear humans to pieces with just the power of their bites.
That’s all. They were famous for their tenacity and never giving up until their opponent was exhausted.
“lie…….”
“That can’t be possible….”
A look of despair spread across people’s faces.
Their appearance after staying up all night was miserable. His limbs were already going limp, and his eyelids were closing as the excitement of battle faded.
In the meantime, such a powerful monster appeared. Especially at this time.
“Could it be that they were just waiting for this to happen?”
Mikel clenched his bleeding fist.
“Wait for one side to get tired, then strike after them….”
An exasperated sigh flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“I don’t understand. I’ve never heard of anything like this.”
An unprecedented disaster was looming over the Node territory at every moment. There was no guarantee that what was happening here wouldn’t also happen there.
“shit…….”
“We have to fight….”
People here and there stood up sighing. Against their will, their grip on the sword continued to lose strength.
“Tsk, I need to get up. Is this the second round?”
“It’s just like when I was in the Ovest territory.”
The Ovest Knights smiled and straightened their posture.
Rather than feeling bored in their eyes, they felt relieved that they had been waiting for something like this to happen.
‘… … ‘I didn’t want to see that.’
Because I hate the face of someone who can remain aloof even in the face of death.
Kuuk.
The honey worm strengthened its stomach and gripped the sword tightly.
‘I can still do more.’
I was already feeling my limits, but there comes a time when I have to overcome them. And now seemed like the right time.
“everyone-”
The moment I uttered a quiet word,
Woe!
Suddenly, a red light spread from behind and the shadow became longer. At the same time, a warm energy covered my entire body.
“what?”
“The sun is rising?!”
Everyone turned around in surprise.
The blazing sun began to rise above the scarlet-colored horizon.
Plop, plod.
No, it wasn’t the sun.
Against the background of the red sky, a man appeared on a pure white horse.
Grumbling-
A flame burning hotter than the sun rang at the tip of the sword he was holding.
“flame……?”
“The sun…?”
People froze in place and opened their mouths blankly.
Trudging.
The horse stopped walking, and the waving red sword illuminated the rider’s face.
“Forgive me for being late.”
The man who grins and shows his teeth,
“……Cain.”
A low sigh escaped my lips.
Cain Ardante.
He stood before us, dazzling than the sun.
Grumble!
Holding the brightly burning summer sword, Cadenza.
‘Oh, f*ck.’
It’s like Bojeong, the dirty original protagonist.
In the anger that made my teeth tremble, I completely forgot about the feeling of grumbling.
