Chapter 23. The night guest appears without warning. (12)
‘Why did this happen?’
Cain couldn’t understand at all.
Cadenza was a little heavy at first, but he quickly got used to it, and Bianca the Rottweiler moved well as if she were one with him.
I was hesitant about killing monsters at first, but I quickly got used to it.
All of the Sud knights faithfully followed his orders, and Hector was also smiling brightly as he watched himself soar.
Even half of the battlefield has already been split. All I had to do was run forward without hesitation and enter the node territory.
‘But why suddenly?’
The whole situation was absolutely perfect.
Above all, the more I used Cadenza’s power, the more I felt that this sword was truly prepared for me.
Every time the cadenza is swung,
Kieeek!
Hey!
The monsters’ miserable screams play in the background,
Grumble!
A flame burning infinitely above it shines brightly.
“ha ha ha!”
It felt like he was truly omnipotent and omnipotent, like a god.
The heat, or rather the desire, that had been boiling in my stomach came out through the sword.
The strange sensation in Cain’s stomach that had continued to make him uncomfortable was gradually resolving.
‘Yes, this is it!’
Cadenza desperately wanted him to write about her. I was urging him to use his power quickly.
Cain thought so and swung the cadenza even more vigorously.
That is until Cadenza suddenly grew flames all over his body and brushed past Hector right next to him.
Chijijik-
Finally, the cadenza’s flame began to fade.
“…….”
Hector, who was lying limp on the floor, lowered his head. In the end, he could not overcome the pain and fainted.
His cheeks, chin, and nape of his neck melted hideously.
The terrible smell of burning flesh was everywhere. It was the smell of tragedy, the smell of death.
“Ugh….”
Someone with a weak stomach among the members was nauseated. Someone turned their face away as if they couldn’t bear to see it.
“All right, Captain….”
“no…….”
The remaining members stood at a distance with faces filled with fear.
They couldn’t even get close for fear that the cadenza’s flame might catch on to me.
“Because of that sword….”
“It’s completely crazy….”
The distorted faces of the members turned to Cadenza. Faces stained with anger, fear, and terror.
‘This isn’t it.’
This is not how they look at Cadenza and Cain.
It should contain emotions such as awe, admiration, and admiration.
“…….”
A suffocating silence surrounded the people. The Sud Knights had already taken a step back from Cain.
“-!”
Cain’s vision became dizzy when he realized this.
I was afraid.
For the first time, I was afraid of the enormous power Cadenza possessed.
I, myself, who cannot handle this properly, and the future where I end up hurting someone else.
“…….”
Cain’s hand gradually lost strength.
“Prince Cain! What happened!”
“Sud Knights, why are you stopping!”
The cries of other knights were heard from all around.
“The monsters are getting closer and closer!”
“I can’t hold on any longer! There are too many monsters!”
Because they stopped in the middle of a field full of monsters, the subjugation team was under pressure from monsters on both sides.
It was a formation originally created for the purpose of breakthrough. It was only a matter of time before the defense collapsed.
“ah.”
Cain finally came to his senses and adjusted his sword.
I couldn’t fail like this. He needs to get closure somehow.
‘How did I come to this place?’
I looked back at the Sud Knights who were still dazed.
“everyone-”
Just as I was about to tell him to go back to his place,
“What are you doing?”
Someone’s angry voice rang out.
“Cain.”

It was Abel with a crooked face.
He, who was standing right behind the Sud Knights, ended up here.
“Why aren’t you moving?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Cain felt embarrassed and tried to cover Hector’s body.
“Chief Hector?”
But Abel had already seen the devastation on the floor.
“You did that?”
He widened his eyes.
“……No! I couldn’t do that!”
When Cain responded angrily, Abel naturally asked back.
“Oh, I see. So the cadenza was like that?”
“Yes, this is a cadenza-”
“But in the end, it was you, Cain, who held the cadenza, right? Isn’t that what it is?”
Cain was completely dumbfounded by Abel’s sharp criticism. Looking at Cain, Abel shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, that’s not important right now, so let’s move on.”
His blue-violet eyes shone coldly.
“Are you going to keep doing that? They all look like they’re going to die.”
“…I was just about to move.”
Cain responded bluntly and looked back at the Sud Knights.
“Kian, help Director Hector get on the horse.”
“yes.”
“Everyone, get back to where you were! We’re breaking through again!”
The Sud Knights, who had stopped for a moment,
“What are you all doing!”
As soon as Cain’s command of disapproval was heard, it was only then that he began to move hurriedly.
However, their movements had one thing in common. That is, he kept his distance so as not to pass by Cain.
Cain realized that fact only later.
‘… … Could it be that you think it’s dangerous next to me?’
The pain was unbearable.
This isn’t it. I didn’t pick up this sword to scare people.
I felt dizzy before my eyes.
I wasn’t sure if it was the smell of burning flesh that was still lingering in my nose, or the smell of blood that was everywhere.
“……Whew.”
Cain, who was climbing on Bianca, noticed the gaze coming at him from behind.
Abel Kindreal, with blue-violet eyes whose true intentions were unknown, was staring at him.
His gaze tugged at Cain’s every nerve.
‘Come to your senses, Cain.’
I couldn’t collapse like this here. Especially now that Abel is watching.
‘never.’
Cain gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the reins.
“I will take the lead. Everyone, focus on breaking through again.”
“yes!”
The Sud Knights lined up behind Cain. Cain stood in front of him and took a moment to catch his breath.
‘It’s not too late.’
Although I consoled myself like that,
‘What if I make another mistake?’
Suddenly, a thought like that arose from a corner of my mind.
‘What if I make another mistake and hurt a member of the Sud Knights? No, what if I hurt another knight?’
An uncontrollable sinister imagination wrapped around his wrist.
Tuk-
The very moment when the weight of the cadenza in my palm felt as heavy as it did the first time,
Pasut-
The fire that had been burning in the cadenza was completely extinguished.
“-?!”
Cain, sensing something strange, looked at Cadenza. No warmth could be felt in the cadenza where the flames had died down.
“uh?”
At the same time, the sword pattern disappeared from the back of his hand. But I didn’t know that because it was hidden in the gauntlet.
“young master?”
“Is it now?”
The members who were waiting with tense faces asked questions, but Cain did not have the presence of mind to answer.
‘why? why?’
Cain focused his entire attention on Cadenza. But no matter how hard I tried, Cadenza’s flame never reappeared.
Rattling-
My heart sank and it felt like it was sinking through the floor.
‘Oh, no.’
Finding the reason wasn’t important. Just the fact that he couldn’t use the cadenza right now was driving Cain into confusion.
It was then.
Shake!
The door to the castle wall opened and people poured out from inside.
It was an attempt to help the subjugation team that was surrounded by monsters and could not move for a long time.
“Oh my god!”
“Reinforcements from the Nord Territory!”
The faces of the subjugation team, who were struggling to fight against the monster, turned bright red.
Doo doo doo!
Knights in armor began to ride on horseback.
“no way……?”
Mikel raised his head and let out a low groan. He looked intently at the leading knight riding his horse.
“Master! Reinforcements are coming!”
“We have to clear a road to welcome them!”
The cries of the Sud Knights were heard. But Cain couldn’t move his body.
‘Can we do it without the cadenza?’
Even before obtaining the cadenza, he was already a great swordsman. But once he picked up the cadenza, he couldn’t imagine himself without it.
Moreover, you have already demonstrated the power of the cadenza in front of people, but now if you throw it away without using it… … ?
‘no.’
Everyone will doubt whether he is the true owner of the cadenza.
I just hated that. I didn’t want to look that weak and pathetic.
‘cadenza!’
Cain desperately grabbed the cadenza.
‘please!’
The embers in my stomach that had been gushing endlessly just a moment ago were now as cold as burnt-out firewood.
“young master!”
“You have to move quickly… huh?”
Around this time, even the Sud Knights noticed Cadenza’s anomaly.
“Oh my.”
Abel’s voice came clearly from behind.
“Can’t you see the flames?”
It was a voice with subtle pleasure hidden beneath the tongue.
“Is there something wrong with Cadenza? Or is he not listening to his owner?”
Cain was already chewing on a harsh swear word for the number of times he had used it this year.
‘Shit.’
I wanted to hide the cadenza, but it was too big for that. However, her pride did not allow her to put it back in.
Meanwhile, Abel was speaking clearly so that everyone could hear.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have just forced myself to take charge.”
“…….”
“Everyone tried to dissuade me, but you begged so earnestly…”
He shook his head.
“…I had no choice but to give up the lead.”
Every word Abel said felt like hitting me in the face like a whip. Otherwise, my cheeks wouldn’t have gotten so hot.
“Is this the level of the Sud Knights you spoke of?”
Abel sighs as if he is sorry, but why does it seem like he is laughing at himself?
“No matter how injured the leader is, he abandons his mission and rushes away like this.”
The Sud Knights lowered their red faces.
It was common to see troops scattered in disarray as soon as they lost their leader.
It was a moment when Cain’s words that he had trained as well as the Ovest Knights faded.
“Shut up, Abel.”
Cain couldn’t bear it anymore and shot Abel.
“What are you lecturing the Sud Knights for? What do you think would have been different if you were in their position?”
“of course.”
Abel fought back without retreating at all.
“Even if I was injured, the Ovest Knights would never have left the line.”
The corners of his mouth twisted up.
“I wouldn’t get hurt in the first place.”
“…….”
Cain’s lips began to tremble in humiliation and humiliation. At the moment when his mind was turning white from the surging heat, he said, “Let’s put out the fire first.”
Abel changed the topic in a calm tone.
“We will create a double-layer formation. The Ovest Knights will stand in front, and the Sud Knights will be behind them.”
It was an order issued not only to the Ovest Knights, but also to the Sud Knights.
“……what?”
Cain was so shocked that he even forgot his boiling anger.
“No, why did Abel suddenly….”
The Sud Knights were unable to answer readily and looked back at Cain. Then she saw Cain frozen with her white face, and she hesitated.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“But now….”
Commander Hector, who was to give the order, had already lost his mind.
“What are you hesitating about?”
As Abel’s cold voice descended, the surrounding temperature went down a notch.
“Shall we at least get to know each other and die here?”
