Genius Corpse-Collecting Warrior - Chapter 38

Devil’s Holy Sword (11)

The first thing to arrive was an arrow.

Wedge-!

The yellow poison on the tip of an arrow fired from a crossbow shines brightly under the starlight.

Dallen reacted the way he always did.

He easily reached out his hand, caught the arrow, and returned it to the shooter who was aiming the crossbow.

“Wow!”

The archer who was putting his hand in the quiver of arrows falls down, clutching his neck.

Only the arrow’s collar was sticking out of its neck.

Looking at the blood vessels bulging out from around the neck, it looked like some serious poison had been applied.

“Ha!”

“die!”

After the arrow was the tip of the sword. There were two explorers swinging their swords one beat late.

The two prosecutors are twins and look identical except for one mole on their faces.

One is on Dallen’s left and the other is on his right.

Hissing –

The swordsman on the left aimed for the neck, and the swordsman on the right combined the attack with a long cut in the thigh.

Even if I pretended, it wasn’t a breath I had guessed once or twice. Dallen raised the corners of his mouth fiercely.

and.

Whilick –

His toes became blurred for a moment.

Teuong!

“Huh!”

The sword aimed at the thigh bounced roughly outward. The prosecutor was dragged away in shock by the strong recoil.

Meanwhile, Dallon removed the other man’s sword and blew off his head.

The twin brothers’ heads suddenly fell in front of my eyes.

“Taren…?”

The prosecutor’s eyes widened. In front of him, Dallon’s toes became blurry once again.

However, what was kicked this time was not a sword.

Wow!

The prosecutor’s temple suddenly caved in and the prosecutor’s skull caved in as if it had been hit by a hammer.

Red and white things pour out of the large hole.

The explorers who were rushing forward momentarily hesitated. At that time, the explorer behind him shouted a spell.

“Ignel-baladum!”

Grrrr!

A spear of fire is created in the air. Three spears that burn red and dispel the surrounding darkness.

Someone who saw the spell shouted in joy.

“okay! This is it! “Not even that bastard can stop a fireball with a sword!”

That was correct. It was impossible to block the fireball with a sword.

However, if it is an unstoppable situation, it is enough to make it unstoppable.

Parallaerack!

A disk of light crossed the clearing. It was a disk that reflected the light of the flame spear and burned red.

“Ignell—billion!”

The ax hit the forehead of the wizard who was casting the next spell, and the flame spear also exploded in the air, scattering sparks.

“…….”

The cheering explorer closed his mouth.

The atmosphere in the vacant lot below, where the fluttering sparks were settling down, also calmed down.

Even the wizard I trusted died in one blow.

Five of my twenty or so colleagues have already become corpses.

As the excitement of battle cooled off, the explorers who had regained their senses began to hesitate.

“Ha surrender?”

One of the dogs raised both hands and muttered softly. Dallen laughed in bewilderment.

“Surrender is damned.”

Quaaaang!

The dirt pile rises and Dallon’s new model disappears.

Kwasik –

The body of the explorer who was muttering “surrender” was split diagonally.

Even at the moment of death, his eyes were wide open as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Woah!”

A fellow explorer next to me was horrified by the scattered blood fountain and raised his shield.

Quad deuk!

Dallen just lowered his sword. The explorer’s body was split in half along with his shield.

“Ugh! monster!”

“Everyone run away! “Gather at the gathering point!”

The explorers began to flee in all directions. They seem to be scattering in all directions to avoid being caught.

Of course, it couldn’t escape his hands that much. Dallen gave strength to his legs and toes once more.

Quaaaang!

The moment the dirt beneath his feet exploded, his sword chased its next prey.

***

The battle that followed was one-sided.

No, it was a scene closer to hunting than a battle to begin with.

If you turn your back and run away, your back may be cut off by Dallen’s sword, which catches up with you using the leaping skill, or your head may be blown off.

Even if I tried to fight back, nothing changed. Only the head was blown off, but the weapon was also broken in two.

Around the time when the pile of dirt rose about ten times in the aftermath of the leaping skill.

There were only two explorers left alive.

A bald-headed explorer and a bandit-bearded explorer with a seasoned look.

Snap.

Dallen walked slowly. A puddle of blood rippled beneath my feet.

Before you know it, you’re in a vacant lot in front of a forest covered in blood and intestines.

The twenty or so explorers had all turned into corpses and were gushing out red blood even at this moment.

The Banditbeard Explorer spoke in a tired voice.

“…What on earth are you?”

The harsh eyes are trembling. He was frightened, which was unbecoming of his seasoned atmosphere.

Banditbeard’s face was in my memory.

This guy was the same explorer that the bald head had whispered and persuaded before entering the labyrinth.

Snap. Snap.

Dallen approached the two people at a leisurely pace. He said.

“Ask me again. “Since when have you been chasing us?”

“…It was two days ago. The gnolls’ movements were unusual, so I went back and found you and the Paladin coming down to the south. “I followed right behind.”

Banditbeard replied, He made a quick judgment after seeing Dallan’s superhuman strength.

“why?”

Banditbeard shrugged his shoulders in response to Dallen’s question.

“How can anyone just pass by when I’m carrying a safe on my back that looks like it’s probably full of treasure?”

Dallen laughed bitterly. Was it because of the safe?

The safe inside the tent of the Nol warrior leader surprisingly had a very complicated locking device.

There was a way to destroy it with force, but there was a possibility that the items inside would be damaged.

In this case, it would be better to use Sienna’s connections and find an expert, even if it costs a bit of money.

In the end, Dallen ended up carrying the safe on his back, tied to a chain, until he left the labyrinth.

These explorers had been chasing him all this time to try to take it away.

“Tsk.”

Dallen clicked his tongue briefly. At that time, Banditbeard opened his mouth.

“I offer a deal.”

He put his sword down on the floor. And then he slowly put his hand into his bosom.

What I took out of my pocket was a small wooden statue.

“This totem is an object that prevents sounds and smells from escaping beyond five hundred steps. I also used this when I was tailing you. “I will pay for it with my life.”

Dallen slightly raised his eyebrows. Make a deal with the enemy who killed all of your comrades.

He held out his empty left hand. They told me to give it up first.

Banditbeard carefully lowered his hand and threw it at Dallen.

Hwii –

The wooden totem flies in a parabola.

And that moment.

Clap- Kwaang!

The inside of Banditbeard’s extended arm.

Gunpowder exploded from an engine hidden in the clothes, shooting out small lead bullets several times faster than an arrow.

Kwazijic!

The flying totem was shattered by a lead bullet the size of half a thumb. The lead bullet shattered the totem and went straight for Dallon’s heart.

In front of him, Dallon thought. The deal is a mess.

He stretched out his hand as always. I was a little cautious this time.

Although I have held blades like arrows many times, this was my first time holding a bullet.

The techniques of armored fighting are subconsciously melted away, and the flexible curled fingers and palms catch the lead bullets.

Crackling –

the inside of my grip was torn a bit. There was no problem. Because muscles that are stronger than steel are not damaged.

Dallen spread his palm proudly and slowly rolled a round lead bullet on it.

“It looks like you have connections to the Imperial Army or the Tsarist royal family. Gunpowder weapons are probably not even on the black market yet.”

“…A monster.”

Dallen chuckled. He grabbed the lead bullet with two fingers and threw it back at Banditbeard.

Wedge – Puck!

A lead bullet flew at almost the same speed as it was fired. Banditbeard was unable to react and fell apart.

A hole the size of a thumbnail was gushing out blood in his chest as he collapsed.

Dallen walked over and searched inside the creature’s arms. A small gunpowder bottle, several lead bullets, and a mercenary badge were brought out.

‘He was a gold-plated mercenary.’

Wiping away the blood with the hem of the mercenary’s clothes, the name engraved on the gold leaf was revealed.

Boris.

Judging by the name, it appears that he came from the Tsarist Kingdom in the northern part of the continent.

“…….”

The bald man who was quietly watching this started to take a step back, thinking it was an opportunity.

Dallen waved his hand away without even turning around. Several lead bullets flew from his fingertips.

Pipiping—

“Kwaaaaaaaa!”

The bald man, whose calf and thigh were pierced by a barrage of lead bullets, screamed and fell to the ground.

“Aaaah! “Aaaah!”

“Where are you going, bastard?”

Dallen approached the bald head. It was rolling around on the ground, as if swimming, and was letting out screams.

Dallen blew his nose and plunged his sword right next to the guy’s neck.

Hiccup.

The screaming suddenly stopped.

Dallen asked, putting his hand on the sword handle.

“Who stabbed the paladin?”

The bald head’s eyes widened. It was as if he was wondering how he knew that.

Dallen chuckled.

“Do you think it’s possible to say that a normal paladin stabbed a demon’s stomach and then lost the holy sword? Besides, he is an official knight with the recognition of the Holy Sword, and the devil is at the lowest level and can be kicked out to the first floor of the labyrinth?”

“I don’t know. “Why on earth do you think I would know that?”

“I heard you were in the raid.”

The bald man closed his lips tightly. Dallen nodded.

That’s how it will come out.

He sheathed his sword and pulled the ax from the wizard’s corpse. And then he squatted down in front of the bald head.

“I’ll give you two options.”

He said.

“One is to hang it upside down from a tree over there with its mouth shut like that, with all its limbs cut off. For your information, the gnolls around here must be very hungry. “They’ll start a fire and eat them alive without even having anything to do.”

The bald complexion turned pale. It seemed like the barbarian warrior in front of him would do even worse than that without hesitation.

Dallen smiled softly and continued.

“The other is to open your mouth, tell me everything you know, and then die in the least painful way possible. A beheading would be more humane. “Isn’t that right?”

“…I stabbed myself.”

An unexpected answer came back.

Dallen crossed his arms wordlessly. It meant to keep going.

The bald man continued speaking with his chin shaking.

“It was strange to anyone to see such a young paladin carrying a holy sword. I thought it was one of two things. Either the Holy Knights went crazy and entrusted the holy sword to a young kid, or the kid went crazy and ran away with the holy sword.”

If the Holy Knights were crazy, it was okay to sell the Holy Sword on the black market.

If the kid went crazy, I planned to return the holy sword and receive a generous reward.

After listening to the bald head’s story, Dallon quietly nodded and asked.

“So you decided to kill and take it?”

“Originally, it was just a joke. If a Paladin is left out of the demon suppression team, it will be a loss. However, when the holy sword pierced the devil’s stomach and the paladin was seriously injured, an opportunity appeared. “An opportunity for both of us to gulp.”

Dallen laughed lowly. Unlike usual, it was a laugh that would give goosebumps to those who heard it.

The bald man shook his shoulders and gathered himself.

“I’m just kidding.”

You talk about killing people and stealing things like it’s a joke.

Isn’t this the life of an unstoppable robber and murderer?

I knew that among the explorers who descend into the labyrinth, there are often these types of human horses.

A tribe commonly called the Labyrinth Bandits.

His character had also been robbed by these labyrinth thieves before, so it wasn’t particularly surprising that they were involved in this incident.

‘But that’s my position.’

The position of the client with him will definitely be different.

“So you stabbed the injured paladin in the back?”

“I wasn’t the only one who stabbed me. “Lacus, whom you killed earlier, shot the arrow first, and several more who were with me joined him.”

The bald head stammered an excuse. Dallen nodded again and turned toward the clearing.

Snap.

Someone was walking through the darkness of the night. It was a person wearing a dark robe.

Blonde hair peeks out from under the hood, and blue eyes seem to burn like a will-o’-the-wisp.

The reason Dallen started interrogating them instead of killing them was because he noticed that someone was lurking in the dark and watching.

Unlike him, who only received a request and had no connection with the victim, the Holy Knight himself came down to the labyrinth in search of traces of his close friend.

Meanwhile, the bald head seemed to have not noticed yet and was still holding on to Dallen.

“If you go on an expedition, you will know better. If you take this, you won’t have to come into this horrible place anymore! Who wouldn’t fall for those words? Please save me. I don’t want to lose my life in vain after escaping from the devil’s clutches like this…”

“…Fuck you bastards.”

Lucia, the figure in the darkness, spoke.

Her voice was slightly trembling.

“Oh, no way is that…!”

The bald man, looking back in the darkness, spots her blue eyes and opens his mouth.

Lucia slowly pulled back her hood and chewed out each word.

“Yes, you bastard who will pull out this intestines and hang yourself. The bastard you killed is a companion of the paladin.”
