Doo doo doo doo doo doo!
The steel carriage that passed through the gate raced inside the barrier. A long trail of dust followed behind the carriage.
The goblin leader, who had climbed up the horse’s back, shouted to his companions.
“Everyone get into position!”
The group came out of the carriage wearing goblin masks and took their positions.
The man and Lily are on the coachman’s seat at the front of the carriage,
Alina and Hawkin on the roof of the carriage,
Leonard drew his sword and stood guard at the back of the carriage.
I broke the first door and went through the wall, but the real challenge was just beginning.
A border barrier with a double structure.
All they got through was the inner wall inside the border.
The distance to the outer wall leading outside is about 1km.
I had to get through this space as quickly as possible.
That is, to avoid being surrounded by the numerous troops rushing in from all sides at the same time.
“Stop it-!!”
A man with a pistol in his left hand and a longsword drawn in his right looked at the advancing troops and whistled.
“Have you heard the rumors already? There are a lot of them.”
Soldiers were rushing in to stop them.
The knights were just mounting their horses, and there were also wizards reciting spells here and there.
“Those crazy guys!”
“Where the hell do you think this is!”
A look that is full of life.
If the carriage stopped even once, it seemed certain that something unimaginable would happen.
And on one side,
“What on earth is going on···.”
“Shh. Stay still!”
The people who were passing through the barrier retreated to a corner and were murmuring with faces that were half fearful and half curious.
“Please take a good look and spread the word.”
The man glanced at them and then looked forward again. He pressed the goblin mask against his face once more to prevent it from falling off during his rampage.
“Then shall we begin the show?”
The highest ranking one among the running soldiers shouted.
“Shoot the arrow!”
Shushu shushuk!
A multitude of arrows covered the sky like a net.
Looking at the rain of arrows pouring down over their heads, Daein and Lily shouted at the same time.
“”shield!””
The two Guardians’ bracelets glowed simultaneously. A translucent shield covered the top of the carriage.
Ting ting ting ting ting!
Arrows bounced off the shield and flew in all directions. But their attack was only just beginning.
The wizards of the barrier, having finished casting, poured their magic towards the steel carriage.
“Wind Cutter!”
“Fireball!”
“Ice Spear!”
Colorful magic spells flying towards the carriage.
It was impossible to block all that magic with just a shield.
It was then that the former court wizard of the Duchy of Hicks demonstrated his skills.
“I will stop the magic!”
Hawkin, standing on the roof of the carriage, raised his magic wand in a flash. The emerald on the wand’s head emitted a dazzling green light.
“Reflect Shield!”
Kiiing-!
Silver shields appeared on the front, back, left, and right of the carriage. The shields were tilted diagonally and bounced the flying magic back into the sky.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The magic that had bounced off exploded in the air. The sky was painted in brilliant colors like fireworks.
The wizards looked at the sight with astonishment.
“A reflect shield?!”
“That’s a 5-circle magic···.”
“Who the hell is riding over there!”
The surprise didn’t end there.
Spells flowed ceaselessly from Hawkin’s mouth, and his magic wand once again emitted a dazzling light.
“Windstorm!”
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The storm swept across the front of the carriage. The soldiers who were running were blown to the left and right by the strong wind.
““Eww-!””
The steel carriage passed through the open road.
The man looked back at Hawkin with a surprised expression.
“It’s better than I thought.”

A guy who isn’t even 30 yet is a 5th circle guy. He’s quite talented.
Hawkin, who had been treated as a day laborer until now, raised his voice as if his sorrow was welling up.
“I too grew up hearing that I was a genius since I was little! If only I had a magic wand sooner···!”
Who said what?
The man shrugged and looked ahead again.
“Wait a minute. They keep coming.”
While the soldiers were buying a little time, knights mounted on horses were galloping towards the carriage.
The knights were smart. They didn’t just charge straight ahead.
“There is a wizard on the enemy team. Scatter your forces and attack!”
At the shout of the knight running from the front, the knights scattered in unison.
The Black Lion Knights guarding the border wall.
They were the strongest force in the Duchy of Hicks, and were knights personally trained by the Sword Master, Count Golkan.
That power was never to be taken lightly.
The man said, stretching his body.
“I’ll take the front and the left and right. The kid and Hawkin will block long-range attacks, and the princess will protect the two people. And···”
The man shouted towards the back of the invisible carriage.
“Old man! Can you take care of the back by yourself?”
At the man’s question, the old knight Leonard shouted with flames pouring out from his eyes.
“Leave it to me! I will protect it with my life!”
The man sighed softly and grumbled.
“I told you there was no need to do that.”
A moment later, the Black Lion Knights stormed into the steel carriage.
Taang!
The start of the fight was signaled by a thunderous gunshot. The man pulled Zeus’s trigger repeatedly.
Bang bang bang bang!
The bullets targeted the horses they were riding, not the knights.
The horses that had been running in the lead screamed and fell over.
Hehehehe!
The knights who lost their balance were forced to fall off their horses or fly away before they could do so. Through the gap opened up, another steel chariot slipped through.
However, the only places where a person can aim a gun are the front, left and right.
The knights who had turned back clung entirely to the back of the carriage.
“Break the carriage wheels!”
At the shout of one knight, several knights simultaneously raised their swords and aimed for the rear wheels of the carriage.
But their attack was not successful.
Kagak River!
Leonard, who had struck down the knights’ spears, roared like an angry lion.
“I can’t do whatever I want as long as I live!”
Sir Leonard.
A knight who once reached the highest level of sword expert and was called the hero of the duchy.
Although he was old and shabby now, the experience remained intact.
Leonard mustered all his magic power and shouted at himself.
“Old flesh! Just hold on for today, no, just for a few minutes!”
A fiery aura began to flow over his sword. The strain on his weakened body was immediate, but the old knight gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
“Hraaaaap!”
Kagagagagagang!
The sound of metal clashing violently.
The man noticed Leonard was being pushy without even looking back.
“···I have to go quickly.”
At that moment, an aura blade shot out from the demon sword Shalit held in the great man’s right hand.
Wooooow!
The knights who witnessed the sight cried out in horror.
“Auror Blade!”
“It’s the Sword Master!”
But it is already too late to deal with the situation.
The great man moved from the stable to the back of the running iron horse and swung his sword.
Crunch! Crunch!
Every time sword clashed with sword, sword with spear, the knights’ weapons were cut down.
Even if you infuse mana into a weapon in the same way, there is a big difference between an Aura Blade and a non-Aura Blade.
Even the veteran knights of the Black Knights could not withstand more than three strikes from the great man’s sword.
Zeus, held in the left hand of the great man, also performed well as a secondary weapon.
Every time the barrels of the guns cracked, knights would scream and fall from their horses.
“Kwaaak!”
“f*ck!”
A truly overwhelming sight.
The man swung his sword and pulled the trigger like a lion jumping into a flock of sheep.
Meanwhile, the other party members also did their part.
“Reflect Shield! Windstorm!”
Hawkin used magic so much that the jewel on his wand cracked.
The princess stood next to Hawkin and blocked the arrows and attacks from the knights flying at him.
“Hhhhhhhh!”
Leonard continued swinging his sword even as he vomited blood.
Neither the continuous pouring of arrows and magic nor the Black Lion Knights could stop the steel chariot from charging forward.
How far did it go like that?
The man looked straight ahead and shouted.
“Almost there!”
The outer barrier was drawing near.
The door, much thicker than the one in the inner barrier, was firmly shut, but that didn’t really matter.
Lily has been gathering strength since a while ago to break it.
“Kid. Are you ready?”
“Just a little more!”
In both of Lily’s hands, a flame slightly larger than a fist was burning fiercely.
Hurrrrrrr!!!
The flame, which had grown and compressed countless times without growing larger, was burning red, almost white.
“It’s done!”
“Okay. When I give the signal, throw it at the door.”
Now, after a while, the group was able to get through the barrier and get outside.
That was when.
“······!!”
The man looked up, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.
Black lightning was falling, ripping the sky apart vertically.
The moment he saw that, there was only one thought in the man’s head.
‘If you stop here, the carriage will flip over.’
The moment that thought occurred to him, the man kicked the carriage and jumped into the sky.
“Don’t stop, go beyond the barrier!”
“mister?!”
Leaving behind the voice of Lily calling out to him, the man leaped into the sky and swung his sword from below to above.
-Kaaaaaaang!
A loud noise erupted, as if the heavens and the earth were being opened.
And after a while, the man was slammed into the ground as if he was falling to the ground.
Boom!
I was barely able to stand on the ground with both feet, but my ankles were stuck in the ground.
The man frowned as he felt his bones tingle all over his body.
“Huh. What power···.”
“That’s amazing. You’re still fine after blocking that.”
In front of him stood a large man covered in black armor.
A giant sword that is two meters long. A greatsword that is even longer.
Golkan was looking at the great man with his mane-like hair fluttering in the wind.
He said with a grin.
“You are the ‘real’ one.”
The hot gaze scanned the man’s entire body.
Muscles are not large but perfectly balanced, and the posture looks loose but it is difficult to find a gap.
Above all, that blue aura blade that emits an ecstatic light.
Golkan, whose body was hot, spoke while breathing heavily.
“I can’t stand it anymore.”
-Thump!
Golkan, who had been kicking the ground, swung his sword with all his might. A long black aura blade grew from his greatsword.
On the other hand, the man raised his sword with an uneasy expression.
“shit.”
He had seen many people with such eyes in his past life.
Battle maniacs who only see a strong-looking opponent and their eyes light up, and they rush at them with faces that say they’d be willing to die.
They had a few things in common.
The fact that he won’t let go of his opponent until he’s satisfied, and that he doesn’t care about his life when fighting, makes him extremely annoying.
Above all, most of them were extremely strong.
Looking at the great sword that had already been thrust into his eyes, the Great Man sighed softly.
“That’s why I wanted to get out quickly.”
Kagagagagagagang!
In an instant, a dozen or so attacks took place. Every time the swords clashed, shattered aura fragments flew in all directions.
“Whoaap!”
In terms of strength, Golkan overwhelmed the man. However, in terms of speed, the man had a slight advantage.
Ss …
The Great One used the Lee Hyung-hwan movement to move next to the goal.
At the same time, Zeus aimed his gun at his opponent’s temple.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Golkan dodged all the bullets with just the movement of his upper body.
But that was something that even the great man had fully anticipated. He took advantage of the gap created by his opponent dodging the bullet and stabbed him with his sword.
Wedge-shaped.
The Demon Sword Shalit aimed for Golkan’s waist while emitting a sinister aura.
however,
Kyaang!
The man’s attack was narrowly blocked, and Golkhan’s counterattack followed immediately.
Golkan shouted with a face of genuine joy.
“Hahaha! Monchi, that brat couldn’t handle it! Your sword is a sword that you learned in real combat, just like mine!”
“······.”
The man stepped back to avoid the onslaught of attacks. At the same time, he stroked the watch on his left hand with his right hand.
The opponent is a force incomparable to the Monchi he faced last time.
If you were stingy with the capital you had, you could end up losing it without even being able to use it.
Chorrrrrr!
The metal of the watch spread up and down, quickly wrapping around my shoulder.
The man clenched his fist and raised his output.
Wooooow!
Output 25%
Crackle, crackle!
Here’s the wall force.
It was a combination that never once disappoints people’s expectations.
He ran towards the man with a face full of golkan and shouted.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to show us next!”
The man smiled brightly and said.
“You won’t regret it, right?”
The straightened fist headed towards Golkan. At the same time, Golkan also drew up all his magical power and swung his greatsword.
-Kaaaaaaang!!!
Magic and magic collided and exploded with a deafening roar.
In the place where the afterglow had barely faded, two men with defeated faces were facing each other.
“······.”
“······.”
The great man held his dislocated left shoulder with his right arm, and Golkan stood with his broken greatsword as a cane, his armor in tatters.
Swish.
Golkan roughly wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said with a sly smile.
“Thanks to you, I feel alive for the first time in a long time.”
The man clicked his tongue.
“It’s a shame. It must have felt pretty good to die.”
“Kuuuuuu.”
Golkan let out a soft laugh and picked up the broken sword again.
“Now that I’ve started, I have to see it through to the end, right?”
But the man began to quietly back away.
‘Am I crazy?’
He had absolutely no desire to continue this painful and arduous fight without gaining anything.
‘Let’s get out slowly. The carriage should be out of the barrier by now···.’
Of course, it didn’t look easy. Golkan’s skills were not bad, and while the two were fighting, the Black Lion Knights surrounded them.
But I’m going to lose one body somehow…
“mister-!!”
The moment he heard that familiar voice, the man’s face distorted terribly.
The man turned around quickly.
As expected.
A little boy was flying through the sky and coming towards me.
At that moment, the man shouted without realizing it.
“Hey! I told you to go first, why are you coming back?”
Lily, who got down next to the man, shouted with a grumpy expression.
“I’m not going alone!”
The man grabbed Lily’s chubby cheek with a ‘what the heck’ expression on his face.
“You little punk. Listen to me.”
Lily stuck out her tongue and said, “Bae!”
Besides, Lily wasn’t the only one who returned.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
“no way···.”
The steel carriage, which was thought to have naturally escaped the barrier, was returning.
The man sighed and muttered.
“Haa. I gave you time to go first, but…”
Still, it wasn’t a bad feeling. It was because they thought of me as their comrades…
Lily poured cold water on his feelings.
“Youngshin oppa turned the carriage around after me!”
“···I see. Something feels strange.”
The man waved his hand roughly at the princess and her party who were approaching, shouting, “Are you okay?”
“Oh my.”
It’s ruined.
The gates of the outer wall were still firmly shut, and in the meantime a thick siege net was almost complete.
Now, to get out of here, you won’t be able to kill one or two people.
“There’s nothing I can do.”
It was when the great man let out a sigh and drew up all his magical power in preparation for the coming fight.
“Phewhew!”
Suddenly, Golkan burst into laughter like a crazy person.
“Puhhhhh!”
Golkan looked back and forth between the man, Lily standing next to him, and the returning steel carriage.
The man frowned and asked.
“What’s so funny?”
Golkan barely stopped laughing. But he still asked the man with the corners of his lips twitching.
“Is the child next to you your daughter?”
The man, who didn’t want to bother answering in detail, nodded his head roughly.
“Well, it’s similar.”
Lily rolled her eyes and poked his side, but the man didn’t even look at her.
Golkan asked a second question.
“Why didn’t you kill anyone?”
As the steel chariots broke through the gate and raced through the barrier, a large number of troops blocked their path.
However, there were no deaths, although there were some who had broken weapons or were injured.
Not a single person.
Golkan was now very curious about the reason.
“Did you think you could get away without killing anyone? Did you think we looked that ridiculous?”
If the Great One had been determined and deployed his might, he could have cut down the knights much faster and reached the outer wall.
The man shrugged.
“It’s because the client asked me to do it.”
“···client?”
The man turned his head and pointed to the returning carriage.
“Do you see the goblin lady over there?”
“······.”
They all had goblin masks on their faces, but you could tell who was female by their body shapes.
And Golkan had already guessed the woman’s identity.
Then the man continued speaking.
“He said he hoped I wouldn’t get hurt if possible since I would become his people again later. I said okay since it wasn’t that difficult.”
For a moment, Golkan made a subtle, incomprehensible expression.
“Later… You have more guts than my father.”
And Golkan lowered his sword. His fighting spirit had completely disappeared.
The man asked with a puzzled expression.
“Hey. You’re not going to fight?”
“I’ll write you a pass.”
The man’s eyes widened at those words.
Did I hear that wrong?
“Why all of a sudden···.”
“But there is a condition.”
Well then, that’s right.
The man frowned and waited for the next words to come out of Golkan’s mouth.
If you were talking nonsense, I would swing my sword right away.
Golkan’s mouth opened slowly.
“You can sleep here today.”
< Today > is the end
