The Indomitable Martial King Chapter 50

“Take my hand, Cilan!”

“I’m already holding it!”

Silan answered almost sarcastically. Siris immediately grabbed him, carried him over his shoulder, and immediately threw his body away.

“Ha!”

With a light burst of energy, the slender elf girl jumps to the opposite roof, carrying an even slender boy on her back. Feeling a distant sense of floating, Silan muttered helplessly.

“No, I’m still just a guy, so if you show me off like this… … .”

As it rests on Siris’s shoulder, they naturally see the knights chasing them down the road. Cilan muttered helplessly as he watched the figure chasing him with such vigor.

“You always acted like you knew everything, but you ended up getting caught, you idiot, Mr. Leffen. “For some reason, I had an uneasy feeling.”

Silan and Siris, who were waiting for Repenhardt to return, had to greet an uninvited guest before dawn. Viscount Kelbern’s soldiers, accompanied by the Knights of Tenness, came to the inn, threatening to arrest the bandit’s companions. In a country estate like this, outsiders were rare, and someone as big as Reppenhardt was even rarer, so their companionship was not something to be hidden. The soldiers immediately surrounded the inn and entered the room where the two were staying.

The good news was that neither of them were asleep. Because Siris had an ominous feeling in advance, she was preparing for both of them to leave. Although it was a sudden surprise attack, she was able to escape from the inn right away.

The two men ran again and continued to run, jumping onto the roofs of other houses. To be exact, Siris jumped over and ran away, and Silan was just carried around, but that didn’t mean that Silan was a complete burden.

“Philanense, take care of your servant and let him run endlessly like a mountain goat!”

Whenever Siris was having a hard time, Silan used holy spells to remove her fatigue and invigorate her, while also amplifying her jumping power, providing great assistance in her escape. Rather than running directly with weak legs, it is more efficient to ride like this and work hard to cast divine spells.

But no matter how much I ran, it was difficult to escape the chase.

“It’s over there!”

“Drive to the other side! Block the escape route!”

Siris glanced down from the roof and frowned. The number of troops currently pursuing them seemed to be well over a hundred men, at best. It wasn’t a number that could be beaten.

Moreover, their enemies were not only knights.

“Oh my, knight. Debsho went over there.”

“Thank you for your cooperation!”

“You’re running away there!”

“I will remember your loyalty!”

The residents of the Viscounty of Kelbern were also cooperative with their pursuers. Viscount Kelbern was a good lord and had a good reputation among his subjects. Moreover, since it was such a rural area, the only thing I saw during the chase was a child who stole apples and a fruit vendor chasing after him with a stick. It wasn’t that they were particularly loyal to the Viscount, but they were just pointing their fingers at everyone because they thought this was some kind of exciting festival.

“There is no more place to run to!”

Three swordsmen blocked the sight of Siris, who had just jumped over two roofs in a row. He had anticipated her escape route in advance and had climbed onto the roof. The knights drew their swords and formed a siege around Siris. One of the knights pointed his sword and shouted in a majestic voice.

“Drop your weapons and surrender!”

Siris, who was examining the situation, put Silan down from his shoulder with a stern expression. She then unsheathed her longsword and placed it gently on her roof. This was an obvious sign of surrender, so the knights relaxed slightly.

‘Well, no matter how much of a slayer that elf is, he wouldn’t dare to attack three knights.’

In one slow motion, Siris pulled out a small stick from her waist. The knights were smiling even then. It never occurred to me that that small stick was a weapon.

At that moment, Siris shouted.

“Nichlen!”

The stick immediately transforms into a magic bow of light. Before the knights could even panic, Siris had already started a protest.

Shuyuk!

An arrow of light cut through the wind and pierced the shoulder of one of the knights.

“Keuuk!”

A knight hit by an arrow falls down from the roof, screaming. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Siris kicked up the long sword at his feet and pulled it out of the air.

“Taaat!”

Draw your sword, charge at the knights, and then swing left and right to cut continuously! Siris’ movements, greatly amplified by Silan’s power, were not at a level that unwary knights could dare deal with. Even seasoned knights were unable to respond to the surprise attack that was aimed precisely at the psychological gap and shed blood. Silan, who was watching from behind, shouted in surprise.

“Lord, don’t kill me!”

Siris answered in a cold voice as she swung her sword, scattering blood.

“We do not commit unnecessary killings.”

Indeed, although the fallen knights were in pain, their lives seemed to be in no danger. At that moment, Siris exquisitely cut only the thighs and calves of the knights, taking away their mobility. Cilan sighed in relief and looked at Siris with her new eyes.

‘I’m glad I didn’t kill him, but… … .’

The cruelty in his voice is scary. To put it another way… … .

‘You mean you can kill if necessary?’

Well, if you think about it, Siris was merciless even in the Principality of Chatan. He’s seen blood against the humans who came to catch him. He even killed one person.

‘For a slayer, he’s still kind, right?’

It is said that elves value life, but that is just the story of ordinary elves. Even with all the rhetoric, swordsmanship is ultimately the art of catching people. If a slayer who has learned the art professionally has an aversion to murder, it would not be a business in the first place. Siris would still be good.

“Let’s go, Cilan.”

“Uh, huh.”

Cilan nodded and held out his hand to Siris. Even now, his soldiers were still pursuing them, so there was no time to relax. He had to get out of here quickly.

Siris, carrying Silan again, ran to the hatch again and crossed to the next building.

“What happened?”

“I’m sorry, Eusus. My skills aren’t as average as I thought… … .”

At Yusus’s urging, the middle-aged soldier bowed his head in apology.

This middle-aged soldier, who was also the commander of Viscount Kelbern’s garrison, was not a knight, but he was reputed to have kept the security of the territory well. However, with little monster invasions and extremely rare nighttime street crimes, the capabilities of a rural garrison commander are completely lacking the talent to catch those ‘flying’ thieves.

Of course, there would be a way to do it using a bow or crossbow, but this famous golden knight clearly requested it. Please capture me alive.

Eussus’s expression continued to wrinkle as he looked at the groveling garrison commander. Then he irritated Vice-Captain Sir Lott, who was standing next to him, in a low voice.

“So you said we should come forward ourselves?”

Sir Lot gently lowered his head and comforted Eussus.

“You know very well that you can’t do that, right?”

Since he was a guest, it would not look good if the Knights of Tenness were installed directly by the Viscounty of Kelbern. So, on purpose, Viscount Kelbern took the lead in apprehending the criminal, and he and the Knights of Tenness cooperated… … .

“What are you going to do if you miss it like this?”

It’s not like Yusus doesn’t understand this situation, but he seems strangely impatient.

‘I don’t understand. I don’t think it’s going to be this big of a deal.’

Lord Lott wondered to himself. Of course, the thief from last night was definitely not of average skill. However, among the numerous relics of the Silver Age, what he took with him was only one, a small box whose identity was unknown and could not even be named. Of course, all of the relics of the Silver Age are expensive items, so they are not worth ignoring, but it is not something to make such a fuss about. The Knights of Tenness had collected enough relics that it would not matter even if they lost just one of them.

‘But why are you so nervous? ‘Is that box really something special?’

Lord Lott remembered Eussus’ complexion turning pale the moment he reported the artifact stolen by the thief last night. Is there something he doesn’t know?

It was while Sir Lot was lost in thought for a moment.

“That’s enough! “I will come forward myself!”

Eusus took out the magic sword Eldran from his back. Sir Lott said in surprise.

“No, there is no need for you to deal with those guys yourself… … .”

Eusus ignored Sir Lot’s words and immediately pinned Eldran to the ground. It was also strange. If it were a normal Yususu, he would have at least answered.

Leaving behind the perplexed Lord Lott, Eusus shouted out the prepared words.

“Open your eyes! Eldrad!”

Golden light explodes and surrounds his entire body. Yusus, wearing barding Eldrad, lightly kicked his feet.

bang!

With an explosion, a golden shadow flew into the air like a bird and began to race between the roofs.

☆ ☆ ☆

“Taaat!”

The sword light flashes with sharp energy. Three streams of red blood scatter into the air. Siris shouted after securing the escape route by defeating three knights at the same time with three sword strikes.

“Cilan!”

“Yes, yes, I will carry you on my back.”

‘Ah, Mr. Leffen, when are you going to start training your muscles? A man’s pride… … Sobbing.’

Silan was thinking leisurely and was about to stretch out his hand. Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind me.

“Cry! “The blade of the wind!”

Whi profit!

The air distorted and a blurry blade shape flew towards the two people. It was a 4-circle wind field spell, Wind Smash.

Quack!

Wind Smash ripped through the roof, cutting right between Silan and Siris. Cilan was startled and turned her head.

“W-what is it?”

Cilan turned his head and saw a knight wearing dazzling armor landing on the roof. Glittering gold from head to toe. The outfit was completely unrecognizable.

“The Golden Knight of Grime!”

After blocking the opponent’s retreat with magic, Eusus raised his sword and aimed it at Siris and Silan.

“That’s it, you rats.”

Completely different from his usual well-mannered appearance, Yusus’ eyes were extremely cold. After taking a moment to catch her breath, Siris swung her sword and attempted to charge.

“joy!”

Snorting, Eusus swung the magic sword Eldran from bottom to top.

“The rising breath of the earth!”

A sword wind rose, and four whirlwinds swirled around Siris on all sides. Since they had to capture it alive, instead of using magic with high lethality, they tried to create wind to restrain its movement.

‘Gotcha.’

Yusus was trying to take his eyes off Siris with indifferent eyes. Suddenly, Siris’ long sword quickly cut her left and right.

“Taaat!”

Since I cut the wind with my sword, it should have been of no use, but surprisingly, the sword blade cut through the whirlwind and spewed out electricity.

Squeeze!

The four whirlwinds disappeared in an instant. At the same time, Siris kicked off her roof and slid right under Eusus’ chin. An eerie sword light spread out and swung for a long time.

Taang!

Blade and blade collided, causing Siris to bounce back. She thought she had taken advantage of the opportunity, but before she knew it, Yussus swung his golden sword and blocked the attack. The sword power used in the counterattack was so fierce that Siris, who was thrown back, was unable to keep her posture and rolled over on her roof.

“Ugh!”

With a groan, Siris used the momentum from the roll to get up again. With her knees slightly bent, she takes up a fighting stance again. Yusus looked puzzled as she looked at the longsword in her hand.

“… … “It’s not an ordinary sword, is it?”

There is no way the magical wind could be cut with an ordinary blade. Even if it wasn’t Eldran, it was a magic sword of a considerable standard.

Well, it is a sword used by Lantas, who is an Auror. Isn’t it possible that the Rolfein Company, which claims that all they have is money, would have bought a cheap sword for a precious Auror?

The long sword that Siris is currently holding is a valuable item that only the knight commander of a relatively small country would carry. Of course, Eusus may not have known the details, but at least he could be sure that it was not something that would be wielded by a slave race such as elves.

‘Are you saying that such a precious sword was given to an elf?’

While Yusus was confused for a moment, Silan quickly chanted a holy spell.

“Philanense! Grant your servant the valor of a lion. May the strength of a giant dwell in the two sword-holding arms, may the eyes become fierce like a hawk, and may the legs become strong like bullocks to smite the enemy!”

Aka goddess full service. Siris’ whole body began to sparkle pink and radiate a formidable force. Yusus was even more embarrassed when he saw Silan. With that level of skill, anyone could see that he was the highest-ranking priest.

“also… … .”

The guy who climbed over the wall was an Auror user, and the slave he was carrying around wielded an extremely expensive magic sword, and now the boy who looked like a pilgrim showed off his advanced divine power.

“They weren’t just thieves.”
