But Siris was not embarrassed at all. Keeping her polite expressionless face, she stood in her place and twisted her body. In the nick of time, she throws her left attack over her shoulder and catches the opposite dagger with the blade of her sword. She then went straight on her pole and cut off her man’s wrist.
“Keuuk!”
Fresh blood spurted out as the man grabbed his wrist and struggled. In that moment, Siris immediately turned halfway and swung his dagger sharply in the direction opposite to him. Since the movement was quite large, the man on the other side easily avoided the attack and immediately launched a counterattack.
At that moment, she took advantage of the spinning momentum and landed a back kick into the man’s solar plexus. The very fact that she swung her dagger in the first place was a decoy.
“Oops!”
The man groaned in pain as his stomach turned over. Siris’s dagger then danced and aimed at his opponent’s vital spot. In an instant, the mithril blade stabbed deeply into the man’s shoulder.
“Ahh!”
When the sword is drawn, red blood fills the hem of the clothes. The men staggered back in pain. Romand was taken aback by the sight of Siris easily dispatching three large men in an instant, and her expression hardened.
‘Huh?’
It seemed like there was nothing special about being defeated so easily, but in fact, the three subordinates who had just stepped forward were by no means of great skill. Romard knew very well that Siris was a slayer, an elf slave who had properly learned combat skills. So he chose someone strong enough to deal with the Slayer and came here. Terik also had three Slayers. Based on them, Romard had a good understanding of the Slayer’s combat power.
However, Siris’ skills were extremely unexpected.
‘Isn’t that too strong?’
The speed with which the offense and defense were changed was so great that it was difficult to even see the speed with which he was able to quickly exploit the loopholes in the attack. At that level, it seemed like even Romard himself would be no match for him. Besides, you have no qualms about seeing blood? That was an act of inaction that only experienced slayers who had accumulated a wealth of experience with skilled knights would show. This is by no means a skill that a newly released Slayer would have.
“W-what is it?”
“Did you get hit? “Brother Smith?”
The other men who came with Romad could be heard muttering. There were still six subordinates left, but all of them were far inferior in skill to the three who had just fallen. Their purpose is usually to look out or make threats, so it was obvious that if they attached themselves to that elf girl, they would get kicked out.
“this… … .”
Cilan’s face turned red as he finally came to his senses at the sound of Romard clicking his tongue. I was extremely excited. Silan shouted, raising his divine power.
“These scoundrels! “Cock, wash your face with hydrochloric acid!”
Contrary to her pretty appearance, Silan is quite temperamental. Moreover, he is a high-ranking priest in the Philanense Church. Did he suddenly swing a club at himself?
Silan immediately prayed.
“Philanense, bring your mace upon those ungodly men…” … .”
At that moment, Siris grabbed Silan and pulled him to the side. The sound of the wind passed by Silan’s ears as he was embarrassed and failed to pray. Before I knew it, a dagger was deeply embedded in a dry old tree behind me. Seeing Silan trying to use a holy spell, Romard immediately launched a dagger attack.
Cilan’s face turned pale.
‘Lord, are you trying to kill me?’
Romard said, glaring at Silan with a stern expression.
“Shut up. Even the slightest hint of muttering will cause swords to fly.”
It was an absolutely terrifying voice. Silan cried out in shock, shrinking from the thick life.
“I serve Philanense!”
No matter how bad a person was, he would never carelessly lay a hand on someone who served the goddess. Romand snorted at Cilan’s shout.
“Hmph, I’m a pilgrim anyway. “There’s no one who can say anything about getting rid of one or two corpses.”
In reality, Romard had no interest in Silan’s life or death.
I already figured out what a priest was by looking at their clothes when I met them on the street. However, the robes that Silan was wearing were from the Philanense Church. The Philanense Church was mainly active in the southern part of the continent, and it did not yet have a temple in the Principality of Chatan. In that case, this little boy is probably a pilgrim, and even if he kills him, there is no one he can find.
“Why are there all these guys?”
Although he ground his teeth in anger, Cilan’s complexion turned pale. I have heard many times that pilgrims mostly die on the streets. But I never thought I would end up like that.
At that time, Siris whispered to Silan to comfort him.
“are you okay.”
Cilan turned his head in surprise. It wasn’t the cold voice it used to be. It was a soft, even affectionate voice.
“Siris?”
She took a stance. She slightly bends her knees and aims her dagger at Romard, placing her opposite hand under her chin. she muttered, her resolute attitude showing.
“I don’t have any problem.”
Cilan was a little surprised. The way Siris looked now was different from any Slayer he knew. Slayers who swing their swords solely to receive praise from their masters never look like that.
Resolute eyes full of determination and pride, filled with the will to protect.
Those were the eyes of a warrior.
☆ ☆ ☆
Romard was clearly taken aback by Siris’ skills. But he wasn’t embarrassed either.
He was a cautious person, and was fully aware of the fact that things might go wrong and he would have to deal with Repenhardt. Even though he was a novice adventurer, it was clear that he was quite skilled as he could earn 300 gold coins as a slayer. So he prepared another strongman just in case.
‘It’s just that I didn’t know I’d be using it on a rookie slayer or something.’
Romard clicked his tongue and shouted.
“It’s time to work. Talcata!”
“Yes, master.”
With a deep voice, a person standing behind the portico, in the shadow of a pillar, appeared. He was an orc man with red-gray skin, a flat nose, and thick buck teeth. Although he was similar in height to Romad, his size was completely different. The width of his shoulders was enormous, and his entire body was covered with muscles that seemed to explode.
Silan immediately recognized the identity of the orc.
“Orc gladiator… … .”
Although his vital parts were protected by leather armor, the scars on just the exposed areas were enormous. The fact that an orc, a slave race, has so many wounds and is still alive proves that the author was an orc trained as a professional gladiator.
“Talkata. I work. “I’m catching that elf.”
“Yes, it’s work. “Get it now!”
“Yes, master.”
Romard cast a trusting look at the back of Talcata as he strolled away.
Although both slayers and orc gladiators have learned specialized combat skills, elves and orcs have completely different basic combat abilities. Unlike ordinary orc slaves who had their evil nature removed through brainwashing from an early age, orcs raised as gladiators retained their barbaric strength.
‘Besides, there’s no way a female can beat a male, right?’
Romard shouted with a smile of conversion.
“Deal with it quickly! “If you waste time, you’ll be in trouble!”
It was almost time for dinner. It was difficult when the inn guests returned to their rooms.
The orc gladiator, Talcata, walked in front of Siris and his expression hardened. Although he lived a life as a slave, as a gladiator he only fought warriors and never persecuted women or children. He didn’t want to hear such dirty orders.
However, it is a human order and cannot be disobeyed. He let out a gloomy voice between his buck teeth.
“sorry. “It’s yours.”
In fact, ‘I’m sorry, young elf girl. But this is your fate, so there is nothing you can do about it. I wanted to say, ‘Just accept it.’ However, an Orc’s vocal system cannot speak such a complex human language. Clicking his tongue inwardly, Talcata drew his sword.

Slurp!
Romard shouted in horror.
“Hey, dude! “You can’t scratch it!”
“It doesn’t hurt. Talcata, just catch it.”
The sharp long sword reflects the winter sunlight and shines. Siris’ expression hardened. I was confident that I would beat those humans without any problems, but these orcs were different. He was someone I felt instinctively wary of.
‘But I can’t back down.’
Siris glanced at Silan. This little boy was scared and shaking. He was like himself when he was younger, when he was shaking as he watched the slave hunters raiding the village.
And now, like her parents back then, she was holding a sword and guarding the front.
Suddenly a smile appeared. For some reason, I felt good.
“Taaat!”
With a loud cheer, Siris leapt forward first.
Talcata was a little embarrassed. Siris’ movements were faster than expected.
“Hoo?”
However, he was a veteran gladiator with more than 80 wins in the Zeppelin arena. Regardless of the panic, Talcata’s long sword was already steadily moving forward.
“Pata!”
A sharp flash of light leaves a light in the air and strikes like a thunderbolt. Siris was taken aback by the force that seemed to literally split the top of her head and twisted her body. At that moment, as if she had expected it, her Tal Kata swung her sword to the side.
“Ugh!”
Siris, who had been hit on the shoulder by the blade, let out a groan and threw himself to the side. The attack followed immediately. As if digging into his earth, Tal Kata raised his long sword in a large slash. Siris was able to avoid it because his movements were large, but that was also what he was aiming for. With her left fist, which was not holding her sword, Tal Kata aimed a punch at her abdomen.
I barely avoided it, but my legs got twisted. It was only after she retreated again and again that Siris was able to straighten her posture.
“sorry!”
Talcata continued to attack while apologizing. The sword light of short swords and long swords filled the desolate winter garden. Siris was sweating as they exchanged sword strikes dozens of times. On the surface, she seemed to be able to block the attacks quite well, but from her perspective, it wasn’t like that.
‘… … Be strong!’
Talcata was attacking just enough for her to block. She can barely block it, but she just can’t find the clues to counterattack. Moreover, the differences in the weapons they were holding were significant. It is absurd to fight a long sword with just one dagger. Moreover, dagger skills were not her specialty.
‘I didn’t mean to leave the scimitar in the room!’
Long swords dance and occupy all directions. The trajectories of countless blades flying brilliantly, but none of them were life-threatening. Her talkata in the first place was supposed to catch her unscathed. In other words, the battle was being conducted in a way that deliberately drained the opponent’s stamina.
Of course, Romard did not recognize Talcata’s profound tactics. It just kept getting on my nerves.
“What are you doing? Talcata! You incompetent bastard! “Can’t you just catch one female elf?”
Even though he has no skills, his voice is very loud. But Talcata didn’t care. It seems that humans’ inability to understand topics is a racial trait. I wasn’t angry because I had seen people like that so often. I was just embarrassed.
‘Tsk, I guess I’ll starve tonight too.’
Still, it was better for him to starve for a day than to leave a scar on this female elf. Talcata continued his offensive cautiously.
On the other hand, Silan was so nervous that he was going crazy.
“be careful! Siris!”
“I told you not to make a fuss!”
Even though he was not praying and was just shouting, Romard was reacting sensitively. Silan’s blood boiled at the meaning.
‘Ah, I want to give them a good look… … .’
Siris thought Cilan was scared. And it was true that he was shaking. But Cilan trembled not because he was afraid. In short, I was angry.
‘Damn it, I don’t stand a chance.’
There is absolutely no chance to use divine spells. For all sacred spells, it is essential to call the name of the god you worship, so even if the writer of Philanense appears, Romard will immediately throw a dagger. I thought about muttering softly, but since sacred spells, like magic, are controlled by the spirit of speech, a certain amount of voice is necessary.
“Ugh!”
Siris, who was dodging hard, ended up getting hit on the thigh and staggered. This time too, she twisted her sword exquisitely and struck it with her side, so we didn’t see any blood on her. As expected, Talcata was a skilled gladiator. Siris gritted his teeth.
‘if it goes like this… … .’
Suddenly, Siris recklessly rushed towards Talcata. Surprised, Talcata cut her throat horizontally. It was a slow enough sword attack that she could naturally dodge it. But instead of Siris dodging her, she increased her charging power by taking her neck with her blade.
“Taaat!”
“Kruk?”
Talkata let out a bizarre scream and forcibly stopped his sword. The sudden twist in the attack puts a strain on her muscles. In that moment, Siris cut Talcata’s chest long. She also used her mithril dagger, which simply cut through her thick armor and bruised her muscles.
“Ugh!”
Talcata took a step back, bleeding. He was embarrassed and glared at the elf girl in front of him.
‘No, what if I couldn’t twist the orbit?’
If that were the case, that delicate hair branch would have been cut off right away.
I had no idea it would come out like this. It would have been understandable if an outsider had done something like that. However, with that level of skill, there was no way he wouldn’t have known how difficult it would be to stop the downward attack.
Siris smiled faintly.
‘I did it because I believed in their skills.’
She also realized that it was crazy. Even now, her heart was pounding and it felt like it was going to explode.
Still, thanks to you, we were able to increase the distance. There was a lull for a moment. Cilan, who was anxiously watching the situation, suddenly scratched his head.
“Ah, sir… … .”
