Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 356
1 sec.
It was the time it took for the knight to stab Eldmia’s heart.
Realizing that there was no need to talk to each other, the knight’s actions were swift and skillful. The powerful stab that could even pierce the back of an enemy clad in iron armor with one blow flew over Eldmia’s leather breastplate, closing the distance without hesitation. From the article’s point of view, it was thought that Eldmia had not even reacted properly, and he was sure that even if he reacted belatedly, he would not be able to escape serious injury.
The knight did not perceive it, but it took 0.2 seconds to realize that his conviction was a mere illusion.
And that time was also the time it took for Eldmia to swing her ax in line with the knight’s thrust and cut the sword in half like cutting paper.
Rather, it was the article that did not respond. If it moved with that much power and speed, the motion would have increased, but as soon as the sword was cut into pieces, Eldmia rushed forward, holding the ax straight up like an assault lance.
Since it was not an ax spear, there was no worry of getting cut or stabbed, but since it was a weapon boasting such a massive size, the impact felt on the chest was as if it had been hit by a battering ram. The knight’s body floated with a tremendous shock while he couldn’t believe how he had accelerated at such a short distance.
The shock that was accurately delivered to the pit of the stomach caught my breath, and the reaction was delayed again. No matter how strong the stab was, the knight thrust his tongue inwardly, feeling his own body rising.
‘Is there even a technique to hide the aura? There are no other monsters.’
inevitably fall. Was there a building behind it? It’s a little embarrassing to die falling off a castle wall.
The sight of the castle walls and Eldmia getting farther and farther away in the eyes of the knight who couldn’t feel any resentment because he was overwhelmingly counterattacked even though he tried to attack with all his might in the first encounter, and the soldiers who fought bravely even after seeing the knight fall in an instant. it looked like this
However, it was not courage, but a judgment close to recklessness or desperation. The needles floating behind Eldmia swung like snakes and flew away, puncturing the bodies of the soldiers in an instant.
‘It’s ruined.’
Ordinary people might not know it, but as long as a user invaded with that level of Aura, there are people who can stop it even if they unilaterally run to resistance. The knight let go of the sword he was holding until the end and prepared for the impact of the fall, hoping that others would be able to stop Eldmia.
Fortunately, the shock came much sooner than he expected. The knight who fell down the chimney of a private house fainted briefly in relief that he did not die from a broken neck.
◈
Surprised fuck. One stab is damn fast.
Among the guys who fight every day, it’s like a guy who plays the role of a knight, but his basic skills are different. Judging from the javelin prowess he showed when climbing the wall, and the fact that he tried to stab it so neatly, I wonder if his main weapon wasn’t a spear?
Although he felt a sense of novelty in the fact that he had met a chivalrous guy after a long absence, there was no time to maintain that lingering feeling for long. Ordinary soldiers are at a level where they can be cleaned up at the needle line, but unless you know how many knights from just before, it was safer to achieve your goal as quickly as possible.
It was said that Guish, who had bluffed himself at Envelde Mansion, had skills enough to match the demons, but that blow had a sophistication that even Guish couldn’t feel. That means that if you throw these guys into the front line, they will be strong enough not to die in one queue.
If you think of the pincer attack that the ears hunter gang showed, you can never take lightly these guys’ pincer attack.
Still, this wasn’t as big a city as Kelvast, and it wasn’t even a tournament held to gather wandering knights, so there were probably five at most. It’s not like the salary of a knight who writes apologetics comes from digging in the ground.
Deciding that that was enough, I quickly surveyed the territory, estimating the distance to the inner castle, ignoring those who lost their minds and lost their fighting spirit at the combo of ring-out knights and soldiers screaming after being stabbed by needles.
McKellen’s estate was moderately large, but there was no adventurer’s guild in sight. The feeling of a self-sufficient country life where no travelers come?
Ogwen originally had this feeling, but now it has become almost like a commercial city and it is hard to find traces of it, so it is a new landscape in many ways.
“Now, grab it! Never let it go to the castle!”
The cry of the one dressed more like a soldier than a knight straightened my mind, which had almost gone astray for a moment.
However, the effect of piercing the shoulders and thighs of the friends who had already aimed spears at me was so great that the cry was scattered in emptiness. jumped to
Arrows rained down belatedly, but it was not a meaningful attack. As he ran along the suitable rooftop, the soldiers guarding the castle gate began to run and follow him. Judging from the expressions on her face mixed with embarrassment and urgency, it seems that she never dreamed that things would turn out like this.
If I didn’t have a needle, I wouldn’t have been able to be sharp except to imitate Yekatrina. To be honest, I was a little worried, but recently I got used to using needles.
In any case, the soldiers without Aura cannot follow my movements. In the reality that does not change even if I run hard, I gradually distance myself from my frustrated friends and run hard until there is no rooftop that is good for skipping, and I can come to a place like a square in front of the bridge leading to the castle at once.
“Huh, but I’ve prepared for it.”
As if proving that he wasn’t a third-rate villain, the drawbridge leading to the inner sanctuary was up, and soldiers were camped out in front of it with a wooden fence. Unlike the guards on the outer wall, who would still be running after me, they aimed their crossbows very calmly, not panicking at my sudden appearance, as if they were trained differently from equipment to equipment.
It was a very wise decision, as a salvo shot at close range was threatening enough, just as a knight who could fly and crawl with an aura would not go into his body.
It was rather cool to see thirty crossbowmen standing in two rows and arranging their stance in line with one another, probably thinking that the knight would jump out the moment one of them got hit. Perhaps there might be something like a wizard mixed in in that gap, so when I used magic time, I could confirm that the bolts of the crossbows they were aiming at were shimmering with light even though there was no magician.
I don’t know what it is, but I think it would be very dangerous if hit… Will that be prevented by the additional function attached to the gauntlet?
Hmm, if you’re curious, you should try it.
“launch!”
When the guy dressed up as a knight alone gave the order, 15 crossbowmen in a row poured out bolts.
Of course, that was after I started tossing myself to the side as soon as the word ‘foot’ came out of his mouth. I didn’t intend to become a beehive while checking the uncertain performance of armor, so I was thinking of putting the gauntlet on only a few of those bolts.
Fortunately, there is no concept of building a fire network, so it was relatively doable to target a single person from the front and avoid a volley of fire, but it was ‘worth it’ to the end. It was a situation where several holes would have formed on one side of the leg if the reaction was slow or the output of magical power was insufficient.
With the impression that you can’t do it twice, you inject magical power into the gauntlet and put a barrier on the bolt that flew just right, the mana surrounding the bolt scattered and the bolt flew away as well.
To be honest, I had no idea if the magic was destroyed and I was blown away in shock, or if the magic barrier materialized enough to block projectiles. I’ll have to test this properly later.
For now, I was satisfied with the results in front of my eyes and turned my gaze to them, and the second row, which hadn’t fired their crossbows yet, was aiming at me. I looked surprised at my movement just shown, but still, among them calmly aiming, the figure of a knight leaping with his sword drawn and his shield raised came in.
“launch!”
It seemed that he was going to avoid the second shot anyway, so it seemed that he was planning to take advantage of that short gap and rush at it.
I’m sorry, I’m going to shut up and charge this time.
Just in case, I injected a little more mana into the gauntlet, and this time I crouched as much as I could and charged forward.
Even if I just checked the performance with my own eyes, it was a bit scary to face the projectile flying in front of me. However, if you stretch your arms excessively forward and keep a distance from the magic barrier, your balance will be disturbed and your response to the knight’s attack may be delayed.
Thanks to that, I had to put up a piece of bulletproof glass in front of my eyes and run as if I was facing bullets flying by. At least I was able to see the faces of the knights and soldiers who were clearly embarrassed, so I was able to endure it, but it was not a good experience.
Their judgment wasn’t bad. The opponent was just bad. After a short skirmish that totaled less than 10 seconds, the offense and defense were reversed.
The crossbowmen almost threw away their expensive crossbows, picked up the shields they had erected along with the wooden fence, and stepped back.
Because I rushed forward while bouncing the bolt, the distance was different from what he expected, and the hesitant knight stretched out his shield instead of his sword. His shield was a tower shield that looked as thick as a suit of armor if melted down and recycled.
Judging by how lightly he carries and moves, this guy must be a comer too.
“I am!”
But just as he has a fucking thick shield in his hand, I have a fucking ax in my hand.
Instead of worrying about how to avoid the shield and how to attack, I fixed the handle of the ax in order to see how far my ax would stick.
“Go to Eldmia!”
Right before the knight’s tower shield was pierced into the ground, the ax blade flew through the dirt floor.
The clash of the ax and the shield echoed through the plaza.
