101. Just because you’re not lucky (3)
It was not difficult to persuade him to use the third method, that is, to disguise himself as a top and enter the cross guard at dawn two days later.
“I have a bad feeling.”
This is the same reason as when we suggested climbing over the castle wall.
Torres supports, and Finn nods his head grimly.
“Well then, I guess I’ll have to stay here again today.”
It is a campsite with dug holes.
The soldier specializing in cooking said with a smile at the news.
“Then shall we take it out for dinner?”
A forward scouting party led by Ranger Finn.
Once they go out on a mission, the average length of stay is six months.
Of course, if something happens in the middle, he may return after a month or two.
They had already been staying here for eight months.
While I was there, I did all kinds of things.
Some of them made ham by salting the meat of slaughtered animals.
“Then shall we have a drink?”
Finn received the words excitedly.
In some ways, this was a unit that had to be more alert than those on the battlefield, but it was unclear whether their nerves were dull or thick.
‘No, maybe I’m usually more sensitive for days like this.’
I was also careful about the smoke coming from the restaurant.
There were frequent patrols taking turns forming a large circle to secure the surrounding area.
Two bright-eyed crew members were always on guard, looking outward.
Looking at that scouting party, I remembered what I heard before.
“If it’s straight, it’s easy to break. “You also have to know how to bend gently if necessary.”
I heard this from an instructor.
‘It wasn’t an instructor.’
He was a crusader belonging to a religious sect who made a pilgrimage to a local city.
Since I couldn’t teach because I didn’t have time, I decided to solve it with short and bold couplets.
Looking at him laughing and stroking his beard, you could say he was a bandit rather than a priest, but he was a respected priest and an excellent warrior.
“Just because it bends doesn’t mean it goes back. If your center is strong, it won’t break easily. Can you explain it easily? “I’m telling you to stop being evil.”
Did you say that it sounds like you are screaming every time you swing your sword?
Is that why?
I’m curious about what my sword will look like again.
Cheering.
I moved because my heart went there.
“… … “Why are you acting like that when I ask you to have a drink?”
Finn, who had just received a bottle of alcohol from a member of the crew who had retrieved it, muttered.
Encrid stood up, drew his sword, and swung it.
It has nothing to do with today being repeated.
It’s not something I learned recently.
It was a knife attack that started with just a question.
The crusader who faced him at that time said that Encred emits evil every time he swings his sword.
He said it seemed like he was struggling because he couldn’t break it.
“If you know how to use your muscles smoothly, your sword will bounce better.”
The face of the squad member overlapped behind the face of the crusader who was laughing.
It’s a sparring battle hundreds of times.
How was Rem during sparring? His muscles were elastic themselves.
The foundation of the skill to freely use an ax was leisure.
Because of the belief that I won’t lose?
‘no.’
Arms and axe that bend like a whip, Rem’s face, soft muscles.
The answer is a mixture of everything.
‘I used only as much strength as I needed when I needed to.’
What was Ragna like? It’s a helpless hand gesture, but it involves an unbelievable level of swordsmanship.
The same was true for Saxony and Audín.
Contrary to his seemingly stiff attitude, Saxony was always relaxed.
Audin teased Encred by twisting his arms around, but he also gave him advice.
On the other hand, what about yourself?
‘shoulder.’
No, I fought with all my strength. I did the same when connecting dots.
Because I always had to do my best.
Because I thought it was meaningless unless it was the best.
This means that strength was put into the shoulders.
Encred swings his sword in the air. Wow, compared to usual, I feel so weak that it feels empty.
‘This is just a loss of strength.’
Removing strength from the body does not mean killing the power of the swordsmanship itself.
A way, a path, a signpost began to appear vaguely.
Even if you know, you can’t say it right away.

know. I know it very well.
Encred knows my talent intimately.
I just realized that I needed to relax my shoulders.
However, just the realization itself made my heart pound.
Joy and joy filled my whole body.
Just knowing that you can walk straight is the joy that comes from seeing the path.
And for Encred, the sword was life, and life was the sword.
He was a companion walking towards his dream.
One question comes to mind while being filled with such joy.
‘Is struggling the only answer?’
I always promised myself that I could not waste today for the sake of tomorrow.
I made up my mind several times.
It wasn’t difficult to hold on and hold on and struggle, so I did that.
‘It doesn’t have to be that way.’
I lowered my sword with a thought.
Whoosh.
The sound of a blade cutting through the air was different from before.
A gentle smile appeared on Encred’s face when he heard that.
Cut a little while ago.
I just felt nostalgic for the sword swinging from top to bottom.
When was it?
It was in the tall grass with Andrew and Enri.
A sword strike that is commonly referred to as having no feeling in the hand.
A blow that those called geniuses have pulled off countless times.
If there had been an opponent in front of me just a moment ago, I would have been able to cut it without leaving a trace on my hand.
Even though I repeated it countless times to get the same feeling again, in the end, I was never able to do the ‘sword strike without feeling in my hand’ again.
‘This is it.’
Because the sword strike has now taken place in my hands.
How could this not make you happy?
“I think there was something different about the knife slashing a little while ago.”
“I know. “It was an uncommon cut.”
Finn and Torres sat on one side with their butts pressed together and opened their mouths. They both had eyes to see.
Finn then added.
“But he’s really okay, right? Why do you keep splitting it by yourself?”
“Don’t ask me that. I’ve only seen your face a few times. “The reason he’s not normal is because he’s a famous friend at our university.”
Encred easily listened to their conversation.
I just want to swing the sword again and again.
This is the thought that follows.
‘Struggling.’
How about a struggle that relaxes your shoulders?
The answer is not necessarily to struggle in today’s routine.
Throwing out evil is not the only way.
What is important, the steps and mindset to take towards tomorrow, and gaining everything that can be gained in the meantime.
It is enlightenment. It is an awakening. It’s a new learning.
And I’m laughing so happily.
“Aww, it’s okay to smile like that because you look like that. Normally, I would look like a crazy person, but why is that so?”
This is what Finn says while taking a drink.
“I am?”
Torres intervened without even knowing the topic.
He was just ignored.
Several crew members giggled and tapped his shoulders.
Although they had only met for a few days, they quickly accepted their presence.
While swinging the sword vigorously, Finn, Torres, and some of the crew shared a few drinks.
Not only was there not enough to drink, it was not strong alcohol.
It was a cheap fruit wine that was commonly available in the city.
Let’s eat with him a few slices of salted and smoked ham from the forest that serves as a restaurant.
“You must open a restaurant.”
These words naturally came out to a scout trooper who dreamed of becoming a chef.
Encred couldn’t even drink alcohol. I had no intention of drinking today, but even if I tried, there was nothing to drink.
While I was swinging my sword and washing it, the rest were quickly finished off.
“why? “Are you saying you want to drink with that face?”
Torres grumbled for no reason.
It wasn’t enough to make us laugh and chat, but it was enough time to relax.
Of course, even in times like this, there were a few people who were as sensitive as if their antennae were upright.
Finn was one of them.
I may have had a drink or two, but wasn’t I in a position to take responsibility for everyone?
After spending the day like that, it was night when I returned to the cave.
Either head towards the tunnel called Gaehole or go towards the castle wall.
Originally, no one should have stayed here today.
When Finn left, it was decided to vacate the garrison and reassemble closer to the main force.
It all went wrong when they decided to disguise themselves as a top party, and a night that should not have existed arrived.
Two moons rise and illuminate the surroundings blue. Before Encrid entered the cave, he looked up and saw two moons.
A round and large moon is always visible.
The second baby moon is a moon that cannot be seen except during the full moon.
‘bright.’
The surroundings are clear. Even if I stay up all night, today will repeat itself anyway. This is something I have already learned by delving into the shoemaker’s shop in the city.
So there was no point in struggling to sleep.
I closed my eyes and tried not to get unnecessarily tired.
The deep night is just beginning to begin.
If I were to compare it to today, which I repeated yesterday, it would have been around the time I arrived in front of the castle wall.
Awww!
It was a voice that came from quite close by.
As Encred was killed by the wizard, he roughly figured out why his sixth sense did not activate.
The reason why ominousness does not occur.
‘When the spell does something wrong.’
This was because the entire time I was climbing the castle wall, there was a wizard on my head who was wondering whether it was a rose vine or a rose thorn.
Because she was manipulative, I couldn’t read the sign from above.
I couldn’t hear any sounds and didn’t feel any ominousness.
So, now?
“f*ck! weather! It’s an emergency! emergency!”
This is the cry of a scout who was on guard duty and on watch.
The howl of a wolf, the warning of a soldier, are the sounds heard later.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
It was the sound of something running.
And then a monster appeared with its back turned to the moonlight.
There is a species called beastmen that live together somewhere on the eastern edge of the continent. It is a unique sub-race that combines the characteristics of humans and beasts.
The monsters that appeared now were those who were said to be the beastman’s failures.
Because it is a failure created by the Creator.
They always thirst for blood and hate humans.
Awww!
He is the master of crying.
My ankles were sticking out behind me, as if I was standing on tiptoe.
Its entire body was covered in gray fur, and its yellow eyes, unique to the beast, shone.
The snout stuck out, and sharp fangs flashed between it.
The name of the monster that turns its back on the moonlight is Lycanthrope.
In other words, it was a werewolf, a werewolf.
Naturally, since they were not of the beast-human species, they could not communicate with each other like most monsters.
The guy in the lead was one-eyed.
A scar was clearly visible across the left eye.
The guy looked around with his only remaining yellow eye and opened his mouth.
Kaaaa!
The monster’s cry erupted.
To Encred’s ears, it sounded like an assault.
“Wake!”
I shouted reflexively.
How will today end?
I thought it was half and half.
It could be a day where you don’t do any challenges and just stop.
If not, something happens.
The result was the latter.
There were not just one or two werewolves.
Except for the one in the lead, the others scattered in all directions.
Even though the moonlight was bright, it was difficult to find them at a glance.
All that remains is a shadow crossing the darkness along with the sound of crackling and kicking on the floor.
Between the trees, in a place where the moonlight is obscured, a yellow light shines, drawing a line.
The guys that came out under the moonlight were running around in circles, leaving the group of humans together.
It was running so fast that an afterimage was visible.
“Mr. Lee.”
Encred realized something else here.
It’s ominous. Why didn’t I feel any ominousness? Why did Finn’s guard, who could be considered a veteran, notice the werewolf’s approach so late?
‘He must have done something.’
So, a wizard would have been involved here too.
It’s strange that werewolves came all that way.
I don’t know what trick the wizard pulled. Only the results appeared clearly before my eyes.
Even at a rough count, there were more than ten.
“It’s over fever. not good.”
Torres said, pressing his back. Encred also drew his sword.
Cheering.
With his back to Torres. I decided to think about it later.
I decided to struggle a bit.
But that doesn’t mean you can die peacefully.
‘You can’t do that.’
As always.
I will take one step towards tomorrow.
Encred steeled his resolve and straightened his sword.
The monster’s name is Lycanthrope.
It is a monster with magical power in its heart.
It is a difficult monster to deal with, and it is difficult to compare it to a man-eating ghoul.
Usually, it takes a trained squad to catch a werewolf.
I do not recommend attempting to hunt with fewer numbers than that.
Because it’s easy for someone to get hurt or die.
And if the lycanthropes form a group, he advised them not to attack them even as a platoon.
But now that I see it.
“Ha, I must be over twenty.”
In a short while, the number increased further.
This is a scouting party of ten, including myself and Torres.
There were over twenty werewolves.
As if to prove Encred’s guess that a wizard was involved, the group surrounded and attacked them.
A werewolf is a monster that is difficult to deal with even if it goes crazy with its instincts.
It was also a monster that displayed more power on days when the Duel Moon appeared.
Plus a siege?
How should I say this?
“Are you going to die?”
Torres’ self-deprecating words were the answer.
There was no way out.
Encred fought hard. Killed three werewolves.
Because I cut off the fourth guy’s arm.
In the meantime, I threw a whistle dagger and made two friends of the one-eyed guy who seemed to be the leader of the werewolves.
It was literally a struggle.
It’s a trace left behind after fighting a group of lycanthropes.
Torres was similar.
Although he fell before Encred, he also caught two.
Finn caught one and was defeated while dealing with the second.
There was no need to mention other members.
Encred hung his torn arm, dripping blood.
As I turned my foot to deliver the final blow, something caught on my toe.
It was a headache.
The head of Daewon, who wanted to become a chef.
“It’s a little annoying.”
I know that this day will repeat itself when I die.
It wasn’t a very nice feeling to see something like this.
“Koooh!”
Soon, six werewolves attacked Encred at once.
Of course I couldn’t survive.
It was my first time dying with my whole body bitten off.
Of course this was painful too. The time of pain passes. How much time has passed?
I close and open my eyes.
The pain disappears.
I saw a black river flowing silently.
There was also a ferry boat and a boatman floating on the black river.
