Chapter 33. The unknown void swallows the prominence. (9)
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The movements of members who had a goal became more agile.
“-!”
The rear of the Cain army spotted us. After feeling confused for a moment, I turned around and entered the forest next to me.
“-Tsk.”
When I saw that, I furrowed my eyebrows slightly.
“You’re using your brain.”
“Shall we take a detour through the forest?”
I shook my head in response to Hayden’s question, who was following slightly behind me.
“I just follow along.”
Cain’s intentions were obvious, but bypassing the forest was not a good choice.
“Catch up right away.”
“yes!”
He ran furiously with the knights and entered the forest.
Passasat! Passat!
The sound of grass, trees, and leaves rustling tickled my ears. Mixed in was the sound of Cain’s horse’s hooves running ahead.
Before I knew it, the distance between me and Cain had narrowed a bit.
“-!”
The soldiers at the rear noticed this and looked back with anxious faces.
Did you report it to someone?
“-Abel!”
Cain ran to the firing line and appeared on the side of the army. I finally got to see his face at the front.
“You bastard!”
There was no need to leisurely answer the cries of evil.
“Purring!”
His eyes flashed and he only increased Black Star’s speed.
“That bastard!”
Cain gritted his teeth and glared at me. But even for a moment,
“Kukuk.”
He took out a cadenza with a faint sneer.
“I expected you to chase me!”
Then, with the speed at which he ran, he began to cut down the trees around him.
Flutter!
Tall trees are instantly cut diagonally and tilted.
thud! Coogung!
The trees fell indiscriminately along Cain’s trajectory,
Grumble!
It was enveloped in the cadenza’s flame and began to burn. In an instant, one axis of the forest was covered in fire.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Cain laughed heartily and ran with the soldiers.
“If you want to follow me, follow me, Abel!”
Cain’s figure disappeared through the billowing smoke.
An ordinary military unit would have been embarrassed to see the flames in front of them. However, everyone’s faces, including mine, were full of composure.
“That looks just like chihale, doesn’t it?”
At my question, laughter broke out among the members.
“You are correct.”
“I think the same thing.”
Chihale is a monster seen in the western mountains. It was also a very familiar monster to the Ovest Knights.
“There are no wild boars.”
“It’s also a fire-breathing boar.”
Chihale’s nickname was ‘Bully Boar’.
It roams the forest with its sharp fangs, and its nickname comes from the fact that it has flames at the tips of its fangs.
The way he fells and burns trees looks very similar to the current Cain.
“I heard wild boar meat is delicious.”
Everyone in the group agreed as they let out a soft laugh.
“So, on the day Chihale appeared, the dinner was very hearty.”
“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been craving chihale meat?”
The burning trees and grass got closer and closer. The more this happened, the brighter the smiles on the members’ faces became.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The moment we finally got closer to the burning trees,
“Hayden, Roland!”
“All right!”
“going!”
The two men and the knights following them jumped out left and right.
Two-kwak!
They ran diagonally and struck their swords into the trees. Of course, their swords did not have as much destructive power as the Cadenza.
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

However, when the person in front of me struck the exact same spot where the sword was stuck,
Coo!
The trees that could not withstand the brute force fell down. A temporary bridge was created by covering the burning wood.
“Jump over it in one go! “Be careful not to be touched by the flame!”
“yes!”
“Anyone who passes by will die by my hands!”
“… … yes!”
I and the rest of the knights ran in a straight line.
“Black Star!”
“Purring!”
Black Star flew high and jumped over it as if it was natural,
“Hey!”
“Ha!”
The knights also jumped over it to the best of their abilities. I was desperately trying not to be touched by the flames.
Doo doo doo doo!
Our speed did not slow down one bit.
The Ovest Knights are a group of people who cross rugged mountains on horseback and soar over rugged rocks.
There was no way I would stumble over an obstacle of this magnitude.
Let’s easily pass through the burning area,
“It’s been a while since I did this.”
“It reminds me of when I was at Ovest Territory.”
Hayden and Roland joined back, giggling back and forth.
“Good work.”
After congratulating him briefly, he increased his speed even further and ran.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Finally, the edge of the forest was visible.
Passat!
The moment the sound of cutting through the grass that had been around all the time stopped, a wide open plain suddenly appeared.
“-!”
The Cain army came into view much closer.
“Ta, I caught up!”
“Ahh! “How do you do that?”
The soldiers at the rear of the Cain army were very frightened.
It wasn’t enough to just look ahead and run, so I kept looking back, and the distance gradually narrowed.
“Ka, Cain!”
“The enemies are coming!”
They ran to Cain, crying desperately for him.
“… … Abel!”
Cain, who had returned to the lead, looked back at me. A mixture of confusion and anger appeared on his face.
“There, how!”
“There is a way.”
After responding leisurely,
“let’s go!”
He leaned in close to Black Star.
“Purring!”
Black Star roared harshly and kicked the ground.
Boom!
The surrounding scenery became blurred and the body stretched forward at an incredible speed.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
Black Star and I caught up to the rear of the Cain army in an instant.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh! Do not come!”
The soldiers who saw me standing close waved their arms.
It was just funny to see them floundering around aimlessly, unable to figure out whether to pick up a weapon or increase their speed.
“Tsk tsk.”
He clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic and headed towards the leader.
“You are so persistent!”
Cain growled as he saw me getting closer.
“I’m a bit persistent.”
He countered and slowed down to follow the lead of the Cain army.
“Let’s go together!”
“Ah, Your Majesty! a little!”
I could hear the knights following behind me, booing.
Doo doo doo doo!
We ended up running in single file, maintaining a discernible distance from each other.
“Well, I… … !”
Cain was angry when he saw me running next to him.
“Hoo?”
When I saw him up close, I burst into laughter.
Fiery red hair, vivid blood red eyes. The outstanding beauty that captivated many young ladies.
All the words that described him are fleeting.
“vicious… … child!”
Cain’s appearance, baring his teeth at me, was noticeably different from just a few days ago.
Roughly torn hair, face full of scratches and dust.
Red eyes, as shiny as those of a madman, overlaid with a deep sense of defeat.
‘That Cain Ardante.’
He is the greatest nobleman in the empire, an unrivaled genius, and the owner of impeccable etiquette and swordsmanship.
He looked so broken, with bloodshot eyes, and was screaming at me.
“How far are you going to chase me? Abel!”
The gentle voice that made the listener’s heart flutter was as rough as a completely dry riverbed.
“why! “How long are you going to torture me?”
Cain threw away the dignity he barely had, as if he couldn’t even see the soldiers following him.
“Will you feel better if you finally kill me?”
Driving the horse forward without hesitation,
“Abel! “You ruined everything!”
I shout with my body half turned to the side.
“It’s all because of you! “If only you weren’t the only one!”
It looks like,
Kkkkkkkkkkkk!
It resembled a small puppy that was trying hard to hide its fear and yelling at me not to come closer.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
Cain shouted in a voice that sounded like he was crying.
“Crazy… … .”
“I’m in my right mind… … .”
A commotion broke out among the soldiers who followed him. There was no way I wouldn’t be afraid when the commander lost his temper and went on a rampage.
“Oh, it’s because of me.”
It was difficult to stop the laughter from appearing in your voice.
‘iced coffee.’
Cain, you have no idea how long I have waited for this moment.
The fate of the original.
What efforts did you make to overcome it? Bearing the pain of cutting out flesh and shaving bones.
‘Just because he’s the main character.’
You don’t know that you have lived your life with a sense of superiority, taking all the luck with you like breathing.
Those moments when I was wondering if I might stumble just a little and cross the firing line, or find my way back in the nick of time.
… … I had those moments.
‘You’ll never know.’
And Cain will die without realizing it until the end.
Sreung!
He pulled out the Requiem and stared at Cain.
“If you want to think that way, do whatever you want.”
A subdued voice continued.
“And, I won’t deny that it’s because of me that you became like that.”
“… … okay!”
Cain looked pleased and raised his voice.
“Abel, because of you-”
“But it’s not all my fault.”
Pisik-
A smile as slippery as a snake and as deadly as poison spreads across your lips.
“Cain, you had many moments to choose from.”
Cain’s cheeks trembled and he looked at my smile.
“On the way, they turned a territory into a sea of fire.”
“-that!”
“Don’t say it’s because of the soldiers. “Because it’s ugly.”
“… … !”
Cain twitched his lips as if he was really trying to say that.
“You had enough strength to take food without killing the people of the territory.”
“… … .”
“It is your choice not to do so.”
He added, slowly raising the Requiem upward.
“That’s why you can’t defeat me.”
“… … .”
Cain had no response. She said she wasn’t wrong and she didn’t even seem to have the strength to struggle.
I just twitch the corners of my eyes and look at Requiem.
The last moment when Cain and I fought, the sword that would have pierced him had it not been for Sienna’s sacrifice.
“Stop futile resistance.”
I gave orders to Cain in a solemn tone.
“Stop the army and step forward alone.”
Cain gasped and looked back and forth at the army behind him.
“You better listen to me. “Unless you plan on sacrificing all the others.”
A ragtag army that has already lost its fighting power.
It was very easy to subdue them. Without me having to help, the Obest Knights are enough to do it.
“Ka-nim, please.”
“I want to live… … .”
Cain, unable to overcome his fear, began to beg.
“-!”
Cain’s face distorted uncontrollably. He looked at the soldiers behind him in disbelief.
“Hey, these guys… … !”
It seemed like he didn’t want to admit that he had completely lost his reputation and that the soldiers under his command had lost their will to fight.
“Come on, come on.”
He said while tilting the requiem as if to show off.
“I can annihilate you right now.”
“this person… … !”
A look of intense conflict flashed across Cain’s face. She didn’t want a single one of the options forced on him.
at that time,
Purr-
Requiem began to sense and react to multiple life forms.
“Hayden!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
I lowered my voice just enough for Hayden to hear.
“Multiple armies are approaching from all directions.”
“yes? no way… … .”
“-!”
I opened my eyes and turned my head.
‘Live!’
A very hostile energy. That’s true!
“Everyone spread out! To the third formation!”
The Ovest Knights were not embarrassed by the sudden order and immediately followed it.
Doo doo doo doo!
We lined up and spread out according to the formation we had practiced. Although it is difficult to keep pace while riding a horse.
And the next moment,
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bak!
The sound of arrows flying pierced my ears.
“Everyone avoid it!”
He quickly shouted and left the place. Knights also discovered arrows filling the sky.
“Shit!”
“Is this a surprise attack?”
Burbubbuk! puck!
Arrows struck indiscriminately. It was an attack aimed precisely at the flank of the Ovest Knights, or Cain Army.
“W-what is it?”
“There’s no way reinforcements are coming?”
Even Cain looked in the opposite direction in confusion.
And the next moment,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!
A group of troops appeared from the hill to the left of the Ovest Knights.
“… … Ah, father!”
Cain’s dark face became brighter.
Doo doo doo doo!
Armies wearing red armor were charging, waving red flags. And at the forefront,
“Cain!”
There was Carlo, wearing armor and riding a white horse.
“Abel Kindreal, Enome!”
He glared at me with sparks flying from his red eyes.
“Get away from Cain right now!”
“… … aha.”
I grinned and looked back at him.
“I was wondering when you would come.”
It was an encounter with someone I had already expected and expected to meet around this time.
