The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

049. Battle of Arbis (3)

20 minutes ago.

I gasped as I walked through the woods.

My whole body ached and ached.

My arm muscles hurt like when I exercised for a long time and suffered muscle pain.

It was the first time I had ever used the first type of Linchester swordsmanship in real combat.

Fortunately, this body was quick to recover.

I took the potion out of my sleeve and drank it.

Little by little, I felt that my body was energized and my muscle pain was recovering.

The real potion is the best invention of the fantasy world.

Still, the mental fatigue is unavoidable.

I wandered through the woods for a while.

I trudged in the direction Tia ran.

Then I saw a flock of crows flying into the sky.

Not three or four, but at first glance it seemed like there were dozens.

What is Tia doing?

In the novel, Tia had known her danger in that way.

‘What happened again this time?’

I headed to the place where the crow had flown.

A horde of zombies gathered at the entrance of the castle.

And Tia seemed to be on the castle side for whatever reason.

I grabbed the sword right away.

If the.

Even if I return, I will never watch a zombie movie.

while so promising.

At first glance, the number of undead far exceeded one hundred.

three hundred? four hundred? I do not know.

What is certain is that the amount of magic power remaining in the body is about 80%.

“Runtar! Help me.”

Runthar was summoned in the air.

“Break through those damn bastards head-on. And I’m going to burn them all.”

―Breaking through them and burning them all? That doesn’t sound like a good idea.

“No, I do.”

Zombie’s weakness is fire.

And I have resistance to the fire attribute series.

Cadet uniforms are basically made to not burn in flames.

There was no reason to back down or hesitate.

-i get it. don’t let that happen

Flames rose on the black blade.

“Look behind you!”

sigh-

Every time he swung his sword, flames burned the zombies.

He swung his sword dozens of times and turned the area into a sea of fire.

Those who came running were struggling in the sea of fire.

The smell of burning flesh was thick.

I got out of the entrance.

I saw the exhausted Tia, Sepia, and Anya.

‘Why are they there again?’

And even a knight in black armor emitting red demonic energy.

“Ethan! it’s okay?”

I couldn’t help but curse.

Why is that bastard still alive… .

“Sepia, Tia, Anya… .”

I gasped to catch my breath.

I took a fighting stance again.

“And Lien.”

The black knight was still glaring at me.

“Stop bullying the kids and attack them. your opponent is me You damn bastard.”

can i knock it down again?

I straightened my grip on the dangling sword.

Arthur and Tesha ran through the bush.

Then, the mana was output in all directions.

The mana went away once and came back after colliding with the demon.

“Tesya, I think I’ve found the mine!”

“Where are you?”

“To 11 o’clock.”

Arthur and Tesha ran to the 11 o’clock direction.

And there he found a man wearing a gray robe.

‘It’s a demon.’

It was the first demon that Arthur faced.

but you have to win

‘My friends… They are fighting for their lives.’

kill him straight away

It was Arthur’s only thought.

It seemed that the opponent hadn’t noticed the two yet.

Arthur aimed at the back of his opponent.

He was surrounded by five ghouls.

However, it does an effective hit with a single blow.

I had a lot of questions.

why did you attack us?

Why is Mine here?

Certainly, demon attacks have been unusually frequent these days.

‘But… ! I can’t miss the opportunity to attack him.’

At some point Arthur had heard from Ethan.

‘Yes, you. If you encounter demons or monsters, you have to fight to the death. So, please don’t do stuff like that.’

It was a word that came to my ears as I lived in the dormitory together.

Since getting the system, Arthur has been hesitant.

What does this power want from me?

Is it okay to use this power?

It was confusing.

Of course, I was afraid of getting stronger.

Ethan said that the power was given by the goddess.

And he warned that great power comes with great responsibility.

‘Ethan, if it wasn’t for you, I would still be worried.’

I am responsible for all the consequences of this power.

Once I thought about it, I felt comfortable.

‘Deal with ghouls and demons at once.’

Holy golden magic enveloped Arthur’s sword.

What the system says is what the Goddess wants.

And the current quest Arthur received was to catch a mine.

‘Ethan, I don’t think you would have had any hesitation in killing an intelligent body. I want you to carry your burden as a friend.’

Arthur swung his sword without hesitation.

bang!

With the sound of an explosion, magic collided with the necromancer and the group of ghouls.

An explosion passed.

All the ghouls were scattered with only bones left, and even the demons didn’t look good.

A vicious figure was revealed through the shredded gray robes.

Horns like two rams, gray-white skin, and the skin rotted in places, reminding me of a zombie.

“You, what are you!”

The opponent couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

The same was true of Tesha, who was surprised.

golden magic.

It was a holy power that only the chosen could use.

“Why are you… !”

Murmur had never heard of such a person being among them.

‘단탈리온 이 개새끼가… !’

If there was such a dangerous person, he should have said something.

If he did, he wouldn’t have placed just this amount of undead by his side.

The demon’s skin was burning with a crackling sound.

But it didn’t take long to think.

Tesha’s three swords pierced Majin’s torso.

It was a sword imbued with blue magic.

Cool.

Mine vomited blood once.

“Arthur! please.”

Mine swung his arms wildly.

However, the attack was blocked by Arthur’s sword.

The sword fell vertically.

Awesome!

The left arm fell to the floor with an eerie sound.

This time, Tesha’s magical power exploded.

The sword strike was so fast that it seemed as if the three swords disappeared in an instant.

Kaga-gaga-!

The sword stabbed Murmuru’s torso dozens of times.

I couldn’t tell where or how it had been stabbed.

“This damn bitch… !”

Tesha narrowed her brows. It was unpleasant.

‘You dare to say such a foolish thing to me, a noble princess, even though you’re a demon that seeks people’s lives?’

It was strange.

There was a strange thrill when he heard it from Ethan.

But now I just felt uncomfortable.

Tesha took a few steps back and moved out of Mine’s attack range.

Knock!

The reason Tesha stepped down was to gain momentum.

This time, the three swords pierced the demon’s head.

Mine rolled her unfocused red eyes.

“Now, wait a minute… !”

“There is no moment in battle.”

Arthur gathered his mana without hesitation.

‘Leave my indecisive personality.’

As if casting a spell, Arthur repeated.

Ethan said that his personality is like a sweet potato.

If anyone missed the necromancer here, the friends were over.

Golden magic surged again.

It catches the opponent even if it pours a lot of mana.

Magical power was erasing the demon’s existence.

Tesha also released blue magic as she stabbed with her three swords.

Two magical powers poured into Ma-in.

“aa!”

Arthur gritted his teeth with spirit.

The magic power like a storm passed by once.

Mine, with only a hundred bones remaining, knelt down on the spot and soon collapsed.

Ma-in’s body was scattered like ashes.

Took

The demon’s token has fallen.

And next to it lay a red jewel and a skill ball.

“Arthur, I defeated you! We caught the mine.”

Tesha was overjoyed.

With this, it was like revenge for the humiliation suffered during the midterm exam.

“Oh, uh! You did it.”

Arthur answered without hesitation and held up a red jewel and a skill ball.

The system showed me what the red gem was.

‘Ruby of Gamigin?’

Arthur read the instructions slowly.

* * *

Arbis Castle.

Ethan was facing the black knight.

“Leen, can you hear me?”

Ethan tried to talk to Rien just in case.

However, there was no answer either.

Only demons who had the will to live vigorously were burning their fighting spirit.

‘Has he even lost his reason this time?’

It was a sighing situation.

At best, it was an opponent who opened up to a draw and pressed down with the amount of damage.

To think that such an opponent would come back alive as if taking revenge.

“If you are a true knight… How about admitting defeat and backing down?”

I wasn’t expecting an answer.

“Ethan! Dangerous!”

The black knight closed the distance with a single leap.

A halberd with red magic energy and a blade with blue magic crossed.

A powerful magic storm arose.

The whole area was swallowed up by strong winds due to the clash of magical powers.

Ethan gritted his teeth and fought with force.

Linchester Swordsmanship Type 2!

Edan spread his swordsmanship while holding the sword with both hands.

‘Sword soul.’

Blue swords flowed like waves.

The blue magic took the form of a dragon and swallowed the enemy.

But to no avail.

A halberd with red demonic energy tore off the dragon’s snout bit by bit.

Linchester Swordsmanship Type 4!

‘Sword dance!’

It was painful.

He had already consumed his stamina while cutting down the undead.

But I couldn’t back down from here.

Even if you pour out all your mana, you will still inflict effective damage on your opponent.

The blue magic power and the flames created by Runthar were mixed in a mess on the blade.

My blood boiled and my breath went up.

For some reason, Ethan’s mind was clear.

The body was secreting adrenaline like crazy.

It was as if the forgotten sense of battle was awakened.

Obviously, the opponent is stronger than before.

However, what was different from that time was that Edan was now under the protection of a higher spirit.

And the Linchester swordsmanship is a great swordsmanship.

It shined the more it dealt with the stronger demon.

Even Edan’s current swordsmanship was an improved form that complemented the weaknesses of Sylvia’s existing swordsmanship.

Tia was surprised by the battle between the two warriors.

It was as if they had stepped into an amphitheater.

I couldn’t dare to touch or intervene between the two, even in a sacred duel.

The tension was so tight that it took my breath away.

Only metallic sounds came out one after another.

It wasn’t just Tia who felt that way.

Neither Anya nor Sepia could get in between the two warriors.

Even Runtar, a spirit, was only adding fire elemental elemental magic to Edan’s sword.

Each Kaga-

The black blade crossed the halberd and aimed at the opponent’s wrist.

In terms of strength, the black knight was stronger.

However, fighting was not only about strength.

Edan, who was being pushed back, let most of the attack go away instead of confronting the opponent with force.

And like a seasoned beast, it dug into the gap.

‘In that short time, Ethan… I’m getting stronger… !’

was growing

At first, I thought I was being pushed out of power.

No, Ethan was definitely being pushed back at first.

‘But now I’ve come to an equal position.’

Tia unknowingly put her hands together near her chest.

My heart was pounding.

At that moment, Ethan’s sword fell diagonally with a spirit.

The blade touched the right shoulder of the black armor.

Just as it was, blue and crimson flames cut through his shoulder.

Kagagagak-!

well

The black armor took a big step back.

His right arm fell to the ground with a metallic sound.

The halberd was basically a two-handed weapon.

Now that he lost an arm, it was a golden opportunity to seize the victory.

“go! Ethan… !”

Edan was about to slit his opponent’s throat.

At that moment, the black knight’s eyes were dark like a robot whose power was turned off.

It was a fleeting opportunity created by Arthur and Tesha catching the Mine.

stop.

However, as if it were natural, the black blade stopped at the knight’s neck.

‘It was long enough to attack… !’

Tia’s eyes were shaking.

It was definitely a golden opportunity.

An opportunity that may never come again.

However, Ethan was breathing and waiting for the black knight to move again.

Before long, light returned to the black helmet.

“iced coffee… , here is.”

memory is back

After he stood up again, he remembered everything he had been doing.

At the same time, I felt a sense of shame, and on the other hand, joy bloomed in my heart.

He was given the opportunity to face Ethan again.

It was definitely fun to face cold weapons with someone.

The black knight laughed while looking at Edan.

“Ethan, why didn’t you seize the momentary opportunity?”

“With this, all my debt to you is gone.”

“is it… . Was that so?”

The black knight fixed the halberd with his free arm.

Before long, the knight assumed a fighting stance.

“It’s fun to play against strong opponents. Ethan. Let’s finish this duel.”

The two warriors kicked the ground at each other.

The two brandished their weapons at each other with enthusiasm.

Once, a tingling sound was heard in the clearing.

okay.

The black knight turned around and stared at Ethan.

It seemed like he had a lot to say, but the knight was silent.

The breastplate was torn open, and amputations were made at the knee joints.

His left knee seemed to bend, but soon the knight’s armor crumbled.

It was Ethan’s victory.
