There were four figures running through the snowy mountain.
The last of them, Lutten, who was wary of the surroundings with his sword drawn, chewed on it.
‘Rotten… ! ‘We’re surrounded.’
Even if I die soon, I am still a knight. As he reached the level of knowing how to read and use the flow of mana, he was able to access more information than hunters who just had a gun.
There are beings who are narrowing the siege now.
It is a non-human demon beast, and judging from its vicious mana temperament, it is certain that it is not the Caliso Wolf that was first reported.
In addition, the number is five.
‘I can’t get there on time.’
We had just entered the first valley, but Lutten knew.
That those demonic beasts are playing with you.
It would be correct to say that pressure is being applied through the concept of play.
I finally understand.
The reason why there were no deaths even though the village we arrived in was so devastated.
Also, the reason why the cross section of the cut wooden fence was particularly clean.
‘It was Blade Wolf… !’
The enemy is a high-level demon beast, Blade Wolf.
Among the demonic beasts, he was the second most vicious and saddest of the strong.
Tuk-
Lutten stopped walking.
The hunters also sensed this and stopped to look back at him.
“Driver? “Why are you doing this?”
Lutton laughed bitterly at the sight of the hunter asking the question as if he didn’t know what was going on.
“Could you go to the village first?”
“Yes, yes? What on earth is that… .”
“We are surrounded by demonic beasts.”
Suddenly, the hunters’ bodies trembled.
Those who raised their eyes in disbelief soon realized that Lutton’s unusual expression was not a lie.
The next reaction was one of fear.
The reason Lutton ordered flight first rather than fight meant that his superiority over the enemy was that clear.
Without even thinking about it, Lutten’s intention was to become a decoy himself.
“Then what are you trying to do, knight…?” ?”
“Someone should be alive to report the incident to the village. That way, you will be able to receive support or anything else.”
That wasn’t the only reason.
“Besides, the captain and his wife are still in the hut. How do we know if the departed demon beasts will head there?”
Even apart from the fact that he was a client, Lutton was not so vicious that he threw his friend as prey to the devil just to save himself.
‘What a bothersome friend.’
He’s been like this in the past, and he always gets involved in dangerous things and puts people in trouble.
The only difference is that the possibility of a miracle happening this time, like before, is low.
Perhaps this could have been the ending point of Lutten’s eventful life.
“Well, that’s true, but… .”
The hunters, who are restless but cannot bear to leave, are just happy and embarrassed.
Lutton slapped his armor and grinned.
“Don’t worry. You may have forgotten, but I am a knight. “When it comes to Gideon’s deity, Lytten, everyone wakes up from their sleep and takes a drink.”
“Driver… .”
“The knight.”
Lutten spoke with a deliberately strong accent.

“These are people who protect the weak, respect the military and their subjects, and pursue honor and justice. “Please don’t embarrass me.”
The hunters’ expressions calmed down a bit.
An atmosphere of mourning is already prevalent.
The hunters who were crying soon lowered their heads and placed their fists near their hearts.
“… Please stay alive. “I will definitely bring support.”
“I beg you.”
“yes!”
The hunters turned around and started sprinting across the snow field.
Lutton stared at them as they walked away, and only when the people’s prints turned into small dots did he sigh and droop his shoulders.
“Hey, you f*ucking boss.”
If you’re going to die, die alone.
Beep Lutton turned around with a smile on his face.
This was the direction where the presence of a magical beast was felt.
“Come out now.”
“Grrrrr… .”
Immediately, five demonic beasts sporting gray-white manes jumped out from among the snow.
Blade Wolf is right.
His unusually long claws were proof of this.
“It looks scary.”
No, should I say it looks hideous?
The ferocious wildness that cannot be hidden by the smooth gray-white mane makes the whole body tingle.
The reason for waiting to be separated from the hunters is also obvious.
The idea is to minimize any possible injuries.
Just because you like the topic, you know that the combination of a knight and a matchlock is dangerous.
“It won’t work out the way you want.”
Hahaha!
Blue mana erupted from Lutton’s body and enveloped him.
Mana Flare.
It was the first physical strengthening technique to learn after becoming a knight.
“We will definitely take at least one guy. “You should know how scary humans are.”
My fingertips tremble slightly as the fear of death approaches.
Some make louder noises to try to hide it.
Lutton faced the demon beasts while holding his sword with both hands.
Funny enough, what came to mind at that moment was not my family or my lover, but the face of my close friend Elric, who had returned to his hometown after 10 years.
‘I ask you to live your life as hard as you can.’
It was a moment when I thought about it and took a step forward.
Wow~
Goosebumps ran up my spine.
suddenly? why?
Such questions arose, and eventually the cause was a group of demonic beasts, but they were not the cause either.
Lutten was astonished.
‘You were scared? ‘Those?’
It was obvious that the magical beasts were also feeling the strange sensation that suddenly arose.
His mane stretched out like a hedgehog, his body was stiff, and his breathing was rough.
“Grrr… !”
There was no longer any sense of ferocity in the cries.
It’s a situation I can’t understand.
Anyway, I don’t even know where this creepy feeling that freezes my whole body came from, but it’s at a level that even scares demon beasts.
Lutten’s thinking took one direction.
‘no way… .’
Has a stronger predator come here?
Could it be that the owner from deep in the mountains has emerged?
It’s such a cold day, and cold sweat is running down my cheeks.
My body began to shiver for reasons separate from the cold.
It was that moment.
“Huh! “I finally found it!”
A voice echoed through the space.
It was a relaxed voice that did not suit this tense atmosphere at all, and at the same time, it was a very familiar voice to Lutten.
Lutton’s head turned creakingly.
Soon, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
“… Leader?”
“Lutton! “Thank goodness I’m not too late!”
Elric stood still and grunted and laughed.
His hand was balled into a fist and he was pounding his right knee.
“Wow, running this much was nothing when I was in my prime, but getting older is scary. “No, is it because of the injury?”
Looking at him talking nonsense, he really is Elric.
The possibility of it being a ghost or a magical beast wearing its skin becomes even lower.
Lutten’s thoughts began to become more and more perplexing.
“Uh, why… .”
Are you here?
Rather, how did we get here?
Words get stuck in my throat.
In the end, all Lutton could do was purse his lips.
Meanwhile, Elric smiled even brighter and approached Lutton as if he had nothing to do with what was going on around him.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Degurr Lutten’s eyes rolled back.
From the moment Elric appeared, the demon beasts froze as if they were stone statues and were unable to show any reaction.
What it means is self-evident.
Elric was the culprit of this whole situation.
For a moment, Lutton felt like Elric was very far away.
No, more accurately, I was overwhelmed by his presence.
Should I say that it feels like looking at a sky that cannot be reached?
It would be correct to say that the gap is so far away that I can’t even dare to be jealous, so I am in awe of it.
“Uhm… .”
Elric smiled, rubbing the back of his neck as if he was troubled.
“Actually, when I heard you were in danger, I rushed at you and came all the way here. this… “I’m in a bit of a difficult situation.”
“Gon… “What is it?”
“Yes, a difficult situation. I’ve had some accidents over the past 10 years. Are there a few or a lot of people targeting my personal safety? “There is.”
It was something I couldn’t understand at all.
It was soon after that Lutten realized his intention.
Elric asked in a serious voice.
“So that’s it. “Can you pretend I didn’t see what happens from now on?”
For some reason, the voice was powerful.
Lutton nodded absently, as if possessed by magic.
Then Elric’s face became brighter and more relaxed.
“Ah, thank you! “I’ll take care of it right away!”
That was the end of what Lutten could understand, even if it was difficult.
What happened next wasn’t like that.
Suddenly-
The scenery was distorted along with the sound.
The five demonic beasts, the nearby trees, the falling snowflakes, and the wind all split apart.
It was a solid horizontal line.
It seemed like an art of cutting off the space itself by twisting the top and bottom in exactly opposite directions, and it also seemed like an art of cutting things along the line.
There was one reason I wasn’t sure.
That’s because I didn’t see the process of it happening.
What Lutten understood was only the cause of the conversation with Elric and the result of everything in a straight line being cut down.
In his perception, Elric just smiled and made eye contact with himself from the beginning to the end of the incident.
Toad, toad, toad –
Leaving behind the piece of meat that broke in half and fell to the floor, Elric said with a wide smile.
“Okay, I’ll go back to the cabin, and you go to the village and tell me that I took care of the demon beast. ah! Please excuse me as I have to stage a gruesome fight! “Just leave a few shallow wounds on your body!”
Lutten opened his mouth blankly, as if he had become an idiot.
