49 – #11. Longing for a Hero (6)

Eina was blinded by the brilliant light of the Holy Law shining from afar while fighting the approaching monster.

It was a figurative expression, but it was true that the eyes were focused on the battle between the two to the extent that it could be judged that way.

“Oohhhhh!!”

“Human warrior!!”

Two forces collide.

Every time the six-armed giant’s weapon collided with the masked man’s weapon, a shockwave rippled through the entire plaza.

Dust rises from the floor, and the sound drowns out the fights of others.

The demon’s power was certainly strong enough that humans couldn’t match it.

The variety of attacks from its six arms, their strength, and their speed are unusual, so each attack will act as a critical hit, but it draws a trajectory as if it were fired from multiple directions at the same time.

The man desperately avoided or shed all of those attacks, but he did not back down.

As a result, his left shoulder was pierced by the axe, but he pushed himself forward with minimal damage from the side of the sword.

It’s as if they’re talking to each other through their bodies.

She kept peeking at the fight between the two, even with the edge of her gaze, while somehow pushing back the demons around her.

A sharp blow hits the blade, making a gruesome noise.

It seemed that only the two of them stayed in another world in the burning city. The man was already in a devastated condition from numerous battles, but it was hard to believe that he was wounded just by looking at his movements.

Overwhelming strength and those who challenge unreasonable situations.

Shall we call it courage?

Unfortunately, Eina couldn’t think of the word courage from that appearance. Rather, it is a gap to the extent that it is more appropriate to call it bravery and guest.

But he stands up nonetheless.

An unknown person stood up again and again to protect the members of this city.

It was the knight she dreamed of when she was young.

Feeling like a model of the noble sacrificial spirit of challenging any irrationality to protect her weaklings, she kept watching the battle between the two without realizing it.

“Eina-sama!”

“I know.”

From behind, to be precise, I twisted and kicked a monster that was charging at me from a slightly slanted side with a round kick.

Since I’m slightly distracted, I don’t miss the movements around me.

She had Seo who blocked her demons at the forefront, so she calmly looked around and built a block line with the others.

The situation is better than when the first six-handed demons appeared.

However, it is still true that this side is disadvantageous.

Even if the devil was stopped for a while with the help of an unknown person, in a situation where no one knows how long it will last, the number of demons itself was too many.

“It’s a war of attrition that doesn’t pay off, but… ….”

But I have no choice but to do it.

Eina threw away the spear that was now bent and about to break, and grabbed someone else’s spear that had fallen to the floor.

The original owner had already died and only the weapon was lying on the ground, but in the hands of a person who would continue to fight with that will, it sharpened the tip of a spear.

What is the way to reverse this situation somehow?

She continued her worries while swinging and throwing the spear, and suddenly her eyes were drawn to the fierce battle in the distance where both of them were fighting alone.

* * *

There is no shortage of opponents.

Baron Kenar raised the corner of his mouth at a troublesome opponent after a long time.

In the meantime, the demons have forgotten about war for too long.

The place, where neither the burning heat of struggle nor the feast of flesh-biting flesh was all gone, it felt like a huge lake where the struggle and turbulence were forgotten and there was no sense of static flow.

“This is it!”

“Muh, Sun…… !!”

Seo blocked the attack from his left and right arm at the same time, and then pushed back while dragging the ground with the soles of his feet.

The baron really liked this battle.

Although his opponent is a weak human being, at least the heat felt from him emits an intense light that has not been seen in decades.

“That’s it, sharpen that speculation!”

“I don’t want to be taught by the enemy, De!!”

Counters the horizontally cutting sword from the front.

The human male’s attack was obviously fierce and hot, and there was a side to oppressing the opponent, but unfortunately, the sharpness was a little lacking.

Baron Kenar has lived for more than three hundred years.

In the meantime, he has seen various strong enemies, experienced walls that he could not bear to overcome, and faced many promising young people and had experiences of fighting for life and death.

Based on that experience, this man is an unfinished gemstone.

The momentum is great. He has a good sense, and he has a good judgment that penetrates in the moment. The skill that comes along with the movement and linkage of his six arms whenever he meets his weapon like this is also outstanding.

But only one thing.

“Huh, ahhhhh!!”

Lack of skills.

He likes to follow the movement and has good judgment. It seems that he has good eyesight, so he has the courage to attack with minimal damage, but his sword skills couldn’t keep up with it.

“Ha ha!! That’s it, save a little more!!”

From nob le mt l dot com

Did humans have warriors like this?

Apart from his skills, the opponent is the opponent who runs hot and shows fighting spirit. It is his natural instinct that he has lived based on struggle for a long time to want to respond as a warrior.

“Very good so far!”

He laughed loudly and brandished his weapon at random.

The banquet of weapons falling in succession from six directions was literally similar to bombing, and no matter how much Seo risked his life, the gap would not be easily narrowed.

Continuous violence.

Seeing him literally go on the defensive against an attack that raged like a storm, and even try to counterattack from time to time, the baron laughed contentedly and pushed harder.

“Now, now!! Now don’t look forward to this place!”

“…… We go, come on, go!!”

Seo forced his trembling arm up and barely deflected his club.

He had already squeezed everything out to deal with.

Speaking of demons, they were normally regarded as enemies that a mere human could not deal with, but isn’t it amazing that they fought against them head-on without strategy and dragged them all the way here?

But you want me to look up?

“Did you have a hairy conscience!?”

“If there is nothing more than that, you will die.”

Right after that, he spurred the ground to avoid the ax that fell diagonally from his upper right arm, and stepped back in an instant.

However, the baron had no intention of letting Seo go back, and at the same time he floated in the air and stepped back, he stamped his feet and quickly rushed forward as if shooting forward.

“Ahahahahaha!!”

“Hey, sh*t!!”

There is no way to avoid that attack in the air where even movement is impossible.

Then, I had no choice but to defend myself by raising my sword against the club that was swung horizontally, but as soon as I blocked the attempt to hit the torso with the strong wind, I was blown away and landed far away.

“Come on! It’s not like he’s dead.”

The six-armed giant stood there and looked at the place that created a lot of dust.

Absorbing all the power pulled up from the giant’s mighty arm without even a moment to shed and crashing into the building, it wouldn’t be strange for an ordinary person to die instantly, but the baron waved his hand forward even in such a situation.

“It’s a struggle! A battle, a battle where lives are shed with blood!”

A boisterous laugh echoes throughout the park.

“It is a car that has barely warmed up. Please don’t say the sad word that it ends here, human warrior.”

“…… This is what I think… I mean no.”

As soon as he finished his words, he saw a staggering figure in the gradually fading dust.

He didn’t look like he was dead either, but judging from his staggering movements, it seemed unreasonable to expect the same nimble movements as before.

But the baron didn’t care.

What really excites him is his persistence and the fighting spirit that comes from it.

I dealt with many people who were stronger than Seo, and in fact, the human woman whom I competed with a while ago was stronger than him.

Nevertheless, the reason the baron was excited about the battle against Seo for the first time in a while was because he could feel the heat of war that he hadn’t felt in the previous battle.

It clings desperately.

A blow that only aims for the death of the opponent without taking care of one’s own body.

That was an extension of the madness and violence that could only be felt in the great war for the selection of a king that the demons had experienced in the past, and that’s why the baron raised the corner of his mouth toward Seo who stood up again.

“Come on, warrior. Show me the struggle.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Despite those words, Seo only stumbled and did not rush.

Has your body already reached its limit?

The baron licked his lips slightly and put on a sad expression, but he admitted that he fought quite well for a human who had a reputation for weakness.

“…… Too bad.”

Although it was a relatively short battle, it is also true that the warrior’s heart was pounding as he wielded a weapon full of magic and looked at him with haunting eyes.

So Baron Kenar moved his massive body and approached to deliver the final sentence to that warrior.

“Human warrior. What is your name?”

“…… Seo.”

“The name will find what it needs to find in this city, then make it into ruins and inscribe it on a tombstone to decorate the highest place.”

Just being strong is not a condition for being strong.

Mindset.

Burning life, even grinding the soul, can you engage in a poor battle. Going beyond desperation and sharpening courage was also the criterion for the strong.

From that point of view, this man is a great powerhouse.

He is an eerie man who set a fire in the heart of an old man who had been forgotten for a long time. Even when he stumbles, the spirit of fighting spirit that can be felt and the spirit that shines do not go out.

“Do you have any last words?”

Seo slowly approached Baron Kenar with staggering steps.

In the process of blocking an attack a while ago, his right arm was completely broken and he was holding a sword with his left hand, but even that sword was so bent that it did not seem to be able to function as a sword any longer.

“There are things I want to leave behind, but….”

He hasn’t given up yet, so he raises the sword and aims it at the baron.

A bent, useless sword and a body that has already reached its limit.

But he couldn’t stop here if he wanted to become a hero, and even if he couldn’t be a hero, he couldn’t give up considering the people left behind.

So he raises his head as a warrior.

“…… Explode aaa!!”

At the same time as he shouted, the sword he was aiming at began to crack and split.

A pure white light that bursts out with him. The sword that has been dwelling in the sword and oppressing the baron, who is a demon tribe, has now thrown off the bowl of the sword and spread its original brilliance to all directions in this world.

“hahahahaha!!”

The light of the Holy Law that shoots at the same time as the explosion at close range.

It was like a poisonous light that demons feared more than anything else, but if it was not captured and just spread in all directions, they could withstand it.

“Oh, with the tricks!!”

Although the burden on the body was great, the baron covered his torso with all his arms to avoid fatal injuries as much as possible.

I was caught off guard because I didn’t think I would use such a method, but I couldn’t kill the Baron of the Demon Realm with this level.

“I know you are a master.”

After all, Seo smiles at the appearance of a giant who does not collapse.

It would have been even cooler if he had defeated this formidable enemy himself.

With that thought in mind, I looked at the green figure descending from the air towards this place. The tip, the tip of the sharp, shining spear, fell so quickly that the word “Quick” Was not a waste.

“This is the end!!”

“Kuheouk!!”

Eina pierced Baron Kenar’s throat with precision.

In the meantime, the tip of the spear, which had been looking for a place to intervene somehow while watching the battle between the two, pierced the throat of a strong enemy. Done.

“…… Before, in the fight between the dead, another person…….”

“Sorry, but I am not a fighter.”

The baron’s words as he grabbed hold of the blood flowing from his neck.

At this, Seo smiled and shook his head.

He never thought of himself as a warrior. Wouldn’t it be too heavy and noble words for a coward who always ran away to talk about honor?

“I just want to win.”

“…… That’s right.”

There is a man who only pays attention to the attention around him.

To him, fighting was just a means, and as a result, he only considered what he could gain through the fight and focused only on the lives he could save.

The result is here now.

“………… Admit it. It is your victory.”

“I survived, so that’s enough.”

I have no intention of dwelling on victory.

After his words, Baron Kenar’s body gradually disintegrated, and the mighty six-handed giant lay down on the cold floor.
