The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

045. Halberd’s Knight (1)

Sometimes when I read a novel, I used to ask that question.

Why is black magic tabooed in most fantasy?

It was unknown.

until you hear this.

‘I honestly don’t understand why black magic is taboo.’

‘I almost hit a pad lip, but I endured it. Praise me.’

I understood immediately.

That is, to bring the dead family back to life.

And pamper it with subordinates.

That alone made black magic worthy of condemnation.

Like now, a knight who risked death to protect citizens behaves like this?

It is an act of humiliating the deceased.

It’s already over the line.

cringe

I gripped the sword tightly.

It was to the point of grinding my teeth.

A blue mana pulsated throughout my body.

“Rien of Halberd. This is the only rest I can give you.”

I gathered my magic and drew it horizontally.

A sword attack made of magical power rushed in.

The opponent swung a halberd against the sword.

Kwa Kaka Kak-!

The sword strike was shattered with the sound of something being ground.

The other person slowly raised his head and stared at me.

The red eyes were shining brightly.

It was a creepy light just looking at it.

“I… , someone. Why are you here?”

It was still a gloomy, ringing voice.

“I… . ah… . It came to mind. The last command… .”

Both Tia and I held our breath and watched the opponent.

“Kill it. annihilate humans That is… Orders I received… .”

Tia took a step forward.

“Calm down! Lien! You were the Guardian Knight of the Empire! Do not be stained with evil.”

“To evil… Don’t get stained?”

“Yes! You are a legendary knight who protected the inhabitants of Arbis Island. get over it! Please do not fall for the enemy’s cunning tricks. please.”

The last word subtly trembled.

Rien stared at Tia in silence for a moment.

blink, blink

Red eyes blinked repeatedly.

However, it soon burned red as if it had been ignited.

“I… ! I… !!”

A terrifying sound of metal clashing followed.

Instinctively, I called out to Tia.

It was a strong and upright speculation.

There was no way the opponent would back down after a few words.

“Tia, step back!”

The red demonic air rose like an explosion.

If I stayed there, I felt like I would be pushed away by the tingling demonic energy.

I put strength on my legs and fixed them to the ground.

The guy is strong.

I could tell intuitively.

And from a rational point of view, it was.

The magic used is red.

It meant that he was stronger than those who use purple magic.

“Tia! go! I’ll take care of this, so go and call someone who can be your strength.”

“Ethan, wait! What do you mean?”

Will I be able to adequately deal with my opponent?

I honestly don’t know.

One thing is for sure, it is difficult to fight while protecting Tia.

“Go! I will take care of this guy.”

“I can’t go. leave you alone Do I look so selfish?”

“What are you talking about! I don’t have the strength to fight while protecting you!”

I gritted my teeth and watched the opponent’s actions.

“Think rationally! Tia Erze. You must be rational and cool at all times. That is your family credo.”

I couldn’t see Tia’s expression.

So I don’t know what kind of expression he’s making.

Perhaps he was biting his lip in resentment.

“Ah, okay. Got it. Don’t give up.”

will definitely split.

Because I realized that I was of no help at all in this situation.

But Tia was wise and rational.

“I will bring all my strength to help, Professor! Never give up.”

“Yes, please.”

“I will not forgive you if you lose.”

The sound of Tia kicking the ground was heard from behind.

One after another, they kicked the ground and the sound went further and further away.

I still didn’t take my eyes off my opponent.

Originally, I was an existence outside the novel.

Even if I die… Wouldn’t they take care of the rest?

It’s been a while, but that’s what I thought.

“With a woman… , from a child… .”

“What?”

“Evacuate women and children first… !”

“you… no way?”

In an instant, the red light in his eyes deepened.

“Can you fight me right now? A black-haired swordsman?”

“Did you wait? Until Tia leaves the battlefield?”

“Yes.”

A smile crept across his lips.

know the honor keep the faith defend the empire

That was the slogan and creed of the 7th Knights.

“I can’t help but cry when I see you sticking to your beliefs without knowing who you are.”

It’s not a lie, but a salty feeling bloomed in a corner of my heart.

“… came to mind.”

“What?”

“I am Gamigin-sama’s knight. obey her orders Other than that, it is unnecessary.”

If it’s Gamigin… .

Why does the word gamigin appear now?

However, the opponent did not give me time to think.

The opponent who hit the ground has narrowed the distance.

It was so quick that you wouldn’t even think it was wearing armor.

Quaang!

A loud explosion hit the back of my ear.

It was a flame-type magic that I shot in a check car.

However, the opponent swung a halberd at me through the flames.

I lowered my upper body and let go of his attack.

Kagagagak-!

A black blade flew through the spearhead and flew at him.

However, the opponent’s attack transition was quick.

I wanted to swing a blade, but this time I swung a spear.

If I hadn’t withdrawn the knife to stop it, I would have been beaten right in the stomach.

Just blocking it made my hands tingle.

A good hit would have broken a rib.

Whoo!

A booming sound shook the forest.

I took three or four steps back and got out of Halberd’s street.

My hair swayed in the wind every time I swung the halberd.

It is truly a formidable force.

The slope of the slope there made me at a disadvantage.

Of course, the opponent occupied the high point.

It was impossible to whine.

‘It draws more magic power.’

It would be nice to be able to control the mana in detail.

The best I could do here was one.

Pressing with dill.

When it comes to magical power, there were so many that I was ignorant.

I thought so and tried to release my mana.

But at the moment my vision was shaken and I fell backwards.

I stepped backwards and stepped on something wrong.

bang!

Halberd cut a few strands of my hair.

It was a narrow difference.

If I made a mistake, my skull would have been severed.

And the swinging halberd could not overcome the inertia and cut down the tree.

The tree fell with a thud.

The cut surface was clean.

I just had to say I was lucky.

Fortunately, I fell and avoided his halberd.

But I was half-fallen backwards.

It was questionable whether he would be able to block it if the follow-up hit continued.

One knee is bent and unsteady.

stop.

However, the opponent did not attack further.

As if waiting for me to correct my posture.

“Wake up.”

“… what? what?”

“I do not slaughter the enemy who has surrendered. Doesn’t slash enemies who are already down. Don’t spoil the game with mean moves. That is my chivalry.”

So I stopped attacking because I felt like I had stepped on a stone and fell.

What are you talking about?

This was something I was thankful for, but it was also vague.

“Are you looking after me?”

“Huh, no. That is an insult to the other person.”

He should have met Rien as an ally, not an enemy.

How nice would it have been

I clenched my teeth and gripped the sword tightly.

“Thank you for taking care of my situation.”

“Get your stance. The duel is not over yet.”

“Wait a minute, I want to ask you something.”

“what?”

The silver halberd was shining vigorously.

“You are Rien, the Knight of Halberd.”

“is it… ?”

“I was an imperial knight who knew honor and kept faith. You protected the Arbis bridge from the undead army.”

Rien was still staring at me without saying a word.

“You saved countless lives and died in battle 300 years ago. And now, as an undead, it appeared in front of us like this.”

“… I am carrying out Gamigin-sama’s orders… I just do it.”

Gamigin.

Gamigin ranks 4th in the Mine Order.

Why is Gamigin being mentioned at this timing?

Whatever the reason, the appearance of Gamigin was accelerated due to the butterfly effect.

And Rien never appeared properly in this work.

It was only mentioned.

it’s all because of me

My stomach churned with a sense of debt.

“And combat always makes me feel alive!”

Rien, who had finished speaking, quickly closed the distance.

The sword and halberd collided.

Counters the opponent’s consecutive attacks with a sword imbued with magical power.

A sharp metallic sound erupted in succession.

Can not help it.

I had no choice but to subdue my opponent.

I also wanted to solve it through conversation if possible.

Caan-! Caang! Kang!

As I blocked the fierce series, a kick flew in.

I dodged the kick to the side.

A halberd flew towards it as if it had read my evasion.

I poured out the magic of the lightning attribute.

The recoil allowed me to distance myself from the enemy.

“Huh… , Ugh.”

The opponent was the undead.

There was no sign of exhaustion or fear.

There, he is wearing jet-black armor.

There was only one way to deliver an effective hit to such an opponent.

You have to cut through the armor at once.

The following issues are not considered.

No, there was no reason to consider it.

Judgment was quick.

Following my will, magic wrapped around the sword.

The outputted mana spread out in all directions.

The earth shook and my heart beat violently.

Linchester swordsmanship type 1.

‘One island.’

He gripped the sword firmly with both hands and drew it horizontally.

A ray of blue light burst out and cut through the air.

I remembered what Master had said.

‘If you use this swordsmanship, kill the opponent unconditionally.’

‘What if I can’t kill you?’

‘You will die.’

He gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

If it were Master, he would have told me to wield a faster and more accurate sword strike.

But the way I used it was different.

It was an expression that instantly exploded the mana within the body.

Smash the opponent with quick and explosive magic.

There was nothing but that thought.

‘It reaches… !’

And Rien raised her halberd vertically against my attack.

However, it is a blow mixed with a huge amount of mana.

‘Even if I block it, I’ll just cut it!’

Terrifying blue magic power spread in a straight line.

The earth shuddered and everything in front of me was cut off one after another.

Halberd’s spearhead was no exception.

With a loud sound, the enemy in front of my eyes disappeared.

It was the same that I couldn’t stand the recoil.

I felt as if my foot on the ground was being pushed little by little, and then I was thrown into the air like a spring.

It wasn’t a reaction enough to resist in the first place.

Quaang!

One after another, the trees in front of my eyes were cut down.

It felt like my forearm muscles were bursting.

Adrenaline was secreted in every corner of his body to endure the pain.

A thick cloud of dust arose.

I just fell off about ten steps and threw my back into a tree.

The forest that came into sight was so badly smashed that the previous shape could not be recognized.

‘It’s as if I’ve been bombed.’

Kuck.

A moan escaped from the pain.

A tingling sensation ran through her body from the top of her head to her toes.

I sighed, gripped my sword backwards, and forcibly stood up.

It was blurry as if there was fog in front of my eyes, and then it came back.

‘If I can’t kill my opponent with this, it’s my defeat.’

And if so, I was prepared to accept defeat cleanly.

Doesn’t this attack work?

It meant that it was not an enemy that could be defeated in the first place.

I grabbed my giddy spirit and moved on.

A series of heavy breaths came out of his mouth.

“Huh… . Ugh… .”

I stepped out of the forest that had turned into ruins.

I took one step at a time, nervous as if I was confirming that I had passed the test.

Soon I was able to face him.

The black knight was leaning against a tree that had been cut down.

All around was a muddy field.

The guy’s lower body rolled over in a distant place.

He was still clutching the hilt of the halberd that had been cut in half.

He didn’t seem to have lost his pride at all.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at me.

Flash… . Flash… .

As if the red eyes were going out, they were blinking repeatedly.

And the cycle of blinking was getting slower and slower.

“Black-haired swordsman… .”

“… … ”

I just looked down at him.

I could hardly open my mouth.

“The name… , what is it?”

“Ethan.”

“… Ethan. That’s a good name.”

The light in his eyes faded as if the light was fading.

“It was a good fight.”

“okay… , it was a good fight. Sleep well.”

“Whoops, thank you… .”

After saying that, the guy’s light went out.

With a thud, the helmet fell from the upper body.

However, the guy still held onto the halberd as tightly as possible.
