Chapter 27. The wolf recognizes those who stand up for themselves. (9)
earth! earth!
When the hammer hit the anvil, sparks flew out.
“Whoa.”
Alessia took off her thick gloves and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
“There is no time to rest.”
There was a pile of arrowheads next to her. These were all items commissioned by the Kindreal family.
“There’s a sudden influx of orders.”
Alessia’s Blacksmiths did not participate in the price fixing. He just operates honestly and uprightly as always.
That is why he was able to escape from the sword of judgment struck by Abel. It was a different ending than the other blacksmiths who were reduced to shredded rags.
“Melina, why are you sending me so much money?”
The letter Melina sent contained information about her life so far and a large amount of gold coins.
‘I am now the most valuable and best craftsman in the capital.’
Melina used to express herself that way. With distinct pride.
“I can’t believe Melina had such great talent.”
Alessia was both happy and amazed. At the same time, he found it difficult to shake his thoughts about Abel.
‘You don’t know, right? ‘Maybe I’ll forget that the Guardian’s Hand was born?’
Abel’s smiling face was still vivid in my memory.
Even after making that threat, Abel just walked away as if he didn’t know anything.
He then stayed in the capital for several months and did not return. Often I just request something through a letter.
As if all he wanted from Alessia was the power of the Guardian.
“If you think about it… … .”
If it weren’t for Abel, would I have been able to hold iron again? Could Melina have used her talents to become a craftsman?
Alessia was often caught up in such questions. She even felt as if Abel knew everything.
“… … “Oh, no way.”
Alessia shook her head and looked outside the blacksmith shop. I could see the end of Ovest Castle beyond.
“Anyway, I heard that Master Abel is back.”
I was thinking about whether Abel would storm into the blacksmith shop again like last time.
Doo doo doo doo!
“Purring!”
Something black passed by on the road.
“Ugh!”
“What is that!”
People screamed around him. The cries quickly became distant and soon became unheard of.
“What was that just now?”
Alessia froze while holding the hammer.
“black… … word?”
* * *
“Cuooc!”
The moment Viverna flies to the ground in low altitude,
Sigh!
Aria scattered blue trails in the air. The tip grazed Viverna’s foot at an exquisite angle.
Crispy!
The tips of Viverna’s claws froze in an instant.
“Quek!”
Viverna wriggled in pain and flew into the air.
“That happens!”
“That’s amazing!”
The members of the Ovest Knights who were fighting next to us let out exclamations.
“I never thought Viverna’s claws could be neutralized like that.”
“The epidermis is so hard that it cannot be cut with a sword.”
Everyone looked back at Leah with impressed eyes.
“hot!”
Leah was absorbed in the fight without worrying about what others thought.
Crack!
Every time the small body moved nimbly, the platinum-blond head swam in the air.
wickedness!
The moment Aria swung, her body seemed to disappear behind the sword. No, it seemed as if it had become one with the sword.
It was a scene as if the incarnation of war that appears in legends was captured in a painting.
That sight gave courage to the Knights of Ovest. He also said that he couldn’t show his ugly side in front of such a small and delicate girl.
“Come on, let’s hold on a little longer!”
“It’s already been reduced by half!”
The members shouted at the top of their voices and encouraged each other. I held on to the sword handle, which was about to slip, and advanced.
“Whoa.”
Leah squeezed Aria and caught her breath.
‘It’s not easy.’
The monsters here were difficult to deal with in a different way than the monsters in the north.
Instead of having thick fur and skin, it moves flexibly with sharp, well-groomed muscles.

So it wasn’t easy to subdue him by cutting off his arms and legs.
After almost getting her head pierced by them a few times, Leah started dealing with them in a different way.
‘You must aim for the chest or heart to deliver a fatal blow.’
And it digs in all at once and quickly.
If I hadn’t done that, I would have had my chest pierced by the cleverly curved claws.
In fact, the cut of Viverna’s claws just now was not an intentional attack. I changed direction because I thought I would fail while trying to aim for his stomach.
It’s been a few minutes since we established a front line with the Ovest Knights.
‘Calmly, one by one.’
Leah was defeating Viverna relatively more easily than the other knights.
This was because he obtained Aria and his skills increased significantly during the sparring with Abel.
but,
‘It’s hard to predict attacks.’
People and monsters were different.
In particular, while the former brought the sword in for educational purposes, the latter was only interested in snatching Leah away.
The difference made Leah tire more quickly.
“Crrrrrrrrr!”
The Vivernas especially targeted Leah. Because of its small size, it was judged to be weaker prey.
Parbat!
Leah rolled on the ground to avoid the guy’s claws.
Kagagak!
Viverna’s claws narrowly grazed Leah’s side.
“Be careful!”
The knight fighting next to him warned.
“The tips of their claws are poisonous. “If you become addicted, your body will gradually become heavier.”
“i get it!”
Leah was focused on killing other Viverna. But my attention continued to be focused on that high altitude.
This was because of Viverna Queen, who was floating quietly as if observing the situation.
‘It’s incredibly big. About 5-6 times that of other objects?’
It was a size close to that of the dragon that appears in legends. Even Leah right now wasn’t confident that she could catch that guy.
“That guy is impossible without Captain Diego.”
“It looks like it will take a lot of people rushing in to catch it.”
The knights also looked into the sky from time to time while taking out other Viverna. The presence of Viverna Queen floating in the air was that threatening.
It’s been a while since we fought like that,
Dagdaukdaukdauk!
The sound of the other knights’ horses’ hooves got closer and closer.
Suddenly!
Leah, who had just cut off the wings of a viverna, looked back.
‘… … what?’
Abel, who I thought would naturally show up, was not there. Instead, the only thing that stood out was Conrad, her dreadlocked face hardened.
“What is the situation?”
“About 1/3… … However, the queen is still… … .”
The sound of Conrad’s conversation with another knight could be heard faintly in the distance. I had the urge to approach and ask about Abel, but
“Kyaak!”
I couldn’t get out because Viverna was rushing at me.
“Tch!”
Leah clicked her tongue softly and turned her face. The one whose toenails had been cut off earlier was persistently biting Leah.
Perfect! Ta-dak!
It tried to bite Leah with its teeth instead of its claws. Leah dodged the guy’s attack with minimal movement.
Then, the moment Leah lost her footing,
“Kyahaaak!”
Viverna did not miss the opportunity and opened her mouth wide.
“… … Hehe!”
But that was also an intentional trap. Leah smiled coldly and turned her body over.
Yep!
Aria’s power burst out and froze Viverna,
thud!
Viverna’s completely frozen body fell. At that time, Leah had just defeated the 15th Viverna.
“… … .”
Finally, Viverna Queen began to move.
fluttering-
Its wings spread wide. The blood vessels protruding from the thick skin pulsated vigorously.
Cheok-
Its muzzle opened and the teeth packed inside flashed. Each one was the size of a person’s forearm.
“… … Oh God.”
“I can’t believe something like that exists.”
The knights looked up at the sky and groaned. Leah also felt goosebumps rising as she looked up into the sky.
flutter- flutter-
Viverna Queen began to flap her wings rapidly.
The vertically slit pupil slowly moved left and right. As if looking for the next prey.
and,
“Coooooooo!!”
Viverna Queen opened her mouth and roared.
“Ugh.”
“What are you talking about?”
People covered their ears and turned their faces away.
“Tsk!”
Leah also covered her face with her arms. The moment I lifted my arm and felt the air vibrating roughly,
“Whoa!”
Viverna Queen began to descend towards the ground.
“Don’t stick together, spread out!”
Conrad shouted at the top of his voice. Everyone, including Leah, began to disperse.
“Get on your horse! “We have to win by horseback fighting!”
The knights each rode on their own horses or rode together on another knight’s horse. There was no confusion because everyone had been working together on the front line for a long time.
“Tsk!”
Leah also got on the horse. And she ran quickly, getting out of Viverna Queen’s range.
Quagwagwagwang!
Viverna Queen’s claws scratched the ground. The roughly excavated dirt splattered in all directions.
“Crazy, what kind of range is that long?”
“If you get caught there, you’ll be a slut!”
The knights looked back and sighed in relief. Leah was lost in her thoughts, holding all of Aria with one hand.
‘How do I catch that guy?’
Meanwhile, Conrad began to command the front.
“Get your chains ready!”
As soon as his command was given, the knights wrapped the prepared chains around their hands.
“Group 1 takes care of the tail, group 2 takes care of the legs, and group 3 takes care of the wings!”
Doo doo doo doo!
The knights immediately turned their horses and headed to their respective positions.
“The carapace is hard and difficult to cut! Focus on tying your feet!”
“yes!”
Conrad increased his speed,
“-!”
He passed by Leah like that. Leah furrowed her brows and raised her voice.
“Lord Conrad!”
Conrad reflexively glanced back. An expression of yes, that’s right, crossed his face.
“Princess Leia.”
“Why don’t I have any orders?”
“Thank you for your help so far, but this is our territory’s business.”
Conrad dismissed it in a cold tone.
“If Princess Leia were to get injured here, how would she look to Lord Mikel?”
“That is something I will take care of.”
Leah lifted Aria in her other hand and added in a strong tone.
“I also want to help Obest.”
At that moment, a faint smile crossed Conrad’s lips. He asked the question naturally, as if he had prepared it in advance.
“Can you possibly freeze him with Aria?”
That worry was something Leah also had to worry about. And the conclusion drawn earlier was negative.
“It takes time to freeze the whole body. “I don’t think Viverna Queen will stay still in the meantime.”
“What if we tie our feet?”
“It might be worth a try.”
“Then let’s go.”
After speaking, Conrad increased his speed again. Leah also followed closely behind him.
“Kwaaeook!”
Viverna Queen repeatedly flew up and down, harassing the Ovest Knights. However, the Ovest Knights were also formidable.
“I tied my tail!”
After persistent persistence, we eventually succeeded in tying the tail. As one place succeeded, others also became easier.
Kagak!
The moment the chains were placed on Viverna Queen’s legs and wings one after another,
Coogung!
Viverna Queen’s body fell to the ground.
“Kwook!”
Viverna Queen roared in anger. Her whole body struggled, trying to shake off the chains that bound her body.
“Princess, now!”
Conrad waved his arms vigorously.
Leah ran forward, kicked off the saddle, and flew up. And using the speed of descent,
Phew!
Aria jabbed into the back of Quinn’s neck.
Let’s go!
The cold gathered like a whirlwind and began to freeze Viverna Queen.
“Kwaaaaah!”
Viverna Queen glowed like crazy. Her whole body rattled and even Leah’s body swayed precariously.
“Ugh!”
Leah clenched her teeth and held on, holding Aria in. She released more chills, sending them all the way up to Quinn’s head.
Queen could not easily drop Leah because her wings and tail were tied.
but,
Pop, pop, pop!
The chain, which could not withstand the queen’s resistance, was eventually torn off.
“no!”
At the same time as people started screaming,
Bah!
Queen’s wings were freed and struck Leah.
“Ouch!”
Leah was thrown into the air while holding Aria.
“Kwok!”
Quinn was pulling herself up, tearing off the remaining chains.
“no… … .”
Leah had to watch the whole scene while floating in the air. He felt like something was broken and his body wasn’t listening.
In an instant, the land that had become distant was getting closer.
“-!”
The moment Leah closed her eyes tightly, foreboding the pain to come,
“Tsk tsk.”
A low clicking sound passed my ears.
Boom!
Someone took Leah’s body. His large, strong hands were firmly supporting his body.
“omg!”
Leah reflexively opened her eyes. and,
“That’s reckless.”
I found black eyes looking at me as if I was pitiful.
“The Black Knight… … ?”
Leah’s mouth opened wide.
