Episode 030. This Sickle Is Now Mine
* * *
It wasn’t easy to stop the laughter once it started.
This is especially true because it is a laughter with many mixed meanings.
But I have a knack for it. It was a pretty awkward situation to be laughing like this right now.
I barely managed to stop laughing and looked at the man who had made the threat.
He blinked and asked.
“Why are you laughing? Is this a joke?”
I apologized right away.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I just had a funny thought.”
“… … .”
He just stared at me blankly, as if I was dumbfounded.
I asked him.
“Excuse me, who is the person in front of you? Their voices sound similar.”
The man in front answered.
“Leguardo.”
“Leguard.”
The man in front is Legard. Then the man blocking the retreat from behind would be Heven.
Legard said.
“The Dagger of Opposition. Hand it over when I say something nice. If you don’t want to die.”
Shushuruta, who was supporting me, suddenly shouted.
“Whoever wants it!”
Unlike my excited sister, I responded calmly.
“Okay, I’ll give you the dagger.”
Legard nodded with satisfaction.
“That is a wise decision.”
Shushuruta shouted wildly.
“What kind of wise judgment is this! You are like those who are dark-hearted! I will never give it to you! What kind of thing is this!”
I pushed back the excited Shushuruta and explained in a calm tone.
“Instead, would it be okay if I discussed it with my sister for a moment? As you can see, this dagger has a story behind it.”
Legard looked back and forth between Shushuruta and me for a moment, then took a few steps back.
“… … It would be better not to have any frivolous thoughts.”
Heven also took a few steps back, following Legard.
The two of them backed away obediently, as if they thought we were rats in poison.
It was also an expression of confidence that he would never miss it.
I spoke to Shushuruta, who was grumbling, with my voice very low.
“Brother. As you can see, the situation has become unavoidable.”
“what?”
“So, what I’m saying is, we had no choice but to fight.”
Shushuruta opened his eyes wide and looked at me.
“Did you intentionally create this situation?”
“Oh, why are you saying that?”
“It can’t be helped! You didn’t drop the dagger on purpose to cause this situation.”
“Shh, shh. Lower your voice, little sister.”
“You could have just passed by quietly without any incident. Isn’t it because you dropped the dagger that this happened?”
“Oh, what are you talking about? It was just a simple mistake, a mistake.”
Shushuruta glared at me, then glanced at the brothers blocking my way.
“Whether it was a mistake or not, we need to get out of here first. Follow me.”
I immediately grabbed Shushuruta’s shoulder as he was about to perform a light attack.
“That can’t be. Didn’t you hear, little sister? I said that we had no choice but to fight.”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“Do you think they won’t chase you? They’ll chase you and annoy you until you die.”
Shushuruta said with a sigh.
“Then what do you mean?”
“What can I do if I kill him?”
Shushuruta sighed again.
“… … Okay. Then I’ll take the back, and you take the front.”
“No, they’re both mine. You get out.”
Shushuruta looked at me with wide eyes.
“Are you serious? You’re going to face the dead brothers all by yourself?”
“They say combined attacks are particularly strong. You should try combined attacks. What’s the point of fighting separately? Besides, you’re so weak.”
Shushuruta furrowed his brows.
“Not weak.”
“You got beat up by me in one hit.”
“… … That’s because you let your guard down.”
“Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, I understand. You get out. Hide somewhere and watch.”
“……i get it.”
Shushuruta answered reluctantly.
Then he naturally reached out his hand.
“I’ll take care of the dagger.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
As I stared blankly, she slowly took her hand back.
“… … Tsk. What a waste.”
“What a pity. Leave the fish to the cat.”
“I am not a cat.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“What if you lose to them? Do you not trust your colleagues?”
“You’re the one who doesn’t trust your colleagues? Do you think I’ll lose?”
“… … .”
Shushuruta, speechless, opened his mouth a few times and then closed it again.
“……it’s annoying.”
“what?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Stay hidden. Don’t get caught lurking around for no reason.”
“Do you know that I am you?”
Shushuruta replied curtly.
After finishing the exchange of opinions, I looked at Legard.
“Listen here.”
As Legard retreated, he slowly walked a few steps forward.
“Are we done talking?”
I nodded and said.
“I’ve thought about it, and I’ve come to the conclusion that you won’t let us live whether we hand over the daggers or not.”
Legard stared at us blankly for a moment and then asked.
“Why did you think so?”
“I thought it would be troublesome if word spread that I had a dagger.”
Regard chuckled.
I was a little surprised.
Yesterday and today, even though it was only a short time, I felt like I was seeing someone completely different from anyone I had ever seen before.
The devil was right before my eyes.
“That’s why those who are quick-witted… … .”
The brothers grinned and spoke one after another.
“So what? What do you want me to do?”
“You have two choices. Either hand over your dagger and die in peace, or put up a futile resistance and end your life in pain.”
I said in an earnest tone.
“I won’t tell, so please… … . Could you at least let my poor sister go?”
“Brother… … !”
Shushuruta grabbed my arm and matched the rhythm of the smoke.
“I can’t die after supporting you my whole life. I’m of marriageable age, but I’ve never even held a man’s hand.”
I felt Shushuruta glaring at me, but I ignored it.
The brothers exchanged glances for a moment, then quickly made a decision.
“I’m sorry, but that can’t be done.”
I lowered my head and sighed.
“ah…….”
In fact, this was a question that was almost like a confirmation shot.
The two devils admitted that they were true devils without blood or tears.
It is in such dramatic moments that a person’s true worth is revealed.
Everyone lives wearing a mask. Whether it is a mask or not is something only the person knows.
Only after I finally faced the two devils without their masks could I feel at ease.
I thought you were turning good people into devils?
I raised my head, slightly raising the corners of my lips.
“Actually, this wasn’t a request, it was a notice.”
At the same time, Shushuruta soared into the air and disappeared into the forest.
“What!”
It was a split second.
The brothers couldn’t even react properly and just watched Shushuruta disappear.
He took out a dagger from his bosom and waved it at the men who were trying to chase Shushuruta, flinching belatedly.
“Don’t worry too much. I have the dagger.”
“… … .”
Only then did these guys realize that the situation was getting serious, and they asked in a very serious tone.
“You… … What is your identity?”
“Oh, you mean me?”
I chuckled and slowly lowered the band covering my eyes.
“The devil in the red eye.”
“… … !”
“I don’t know if you’ve heard of it.”
* * *
Legard glared at me, holding the scythe tightly.
“You weren’t blind.”
I nodded and admitted it.
“Yeah. That’s too bad.”
Legard said, pointing his scythe at me.
The blade was unusually sharp. It was sharp enough to cut not only herbs but also human limbs.
“That won’t change anything. Just kill and steal.”
It seemed like he wasn’t talking to me, but to Heven, who was slowly approaching me from behind.
I shrugged.
“Well, you’ll have to try it to find out.”
While I was answering, Legard winked at Heven behind him, and then ran towards me at the same time.
Attacking while I’m talking. Those guys were really annoying.
The scythe flew in a slashing trajectory, aiming for my wrist.
As soon as I jerked my body back, the scythe was swung low from behind, this time aiming for my ankle.
‘hmm.’
Because it was Lee Dae-il, it was not easy to deal with.
I lifted my foot to avoid the scythe, but the moment it passed under my foot, I stepped on it.
“… … !”
Heven dropped the scythe and stepped back, rubbing his wrist.
“Indeed. He is no ordinary man.”
I said, picking up the confiscated sickle.
“This sickle is now mine.”
Heven pulled out another scythe from behind his back.
“… … You are very well prepared.”
As if it had been nothing more than a joke, a blue aura enveloped the two scythes.
It was quite dark. More so than I expected.
“Cut off the limbs first!”
Two scythemen rushed at the same time.
I injected my internal energy into the scythe I stole and then returned it to its original owner.
Bang!
The moment the bastard hesitated due to a heavier attack than expected, I greeted the guest who came in first.
The scythe that had come close in an instant flashed before my eyes.
I quickly poured my internal energy into the handle of the sword I was holding and pulled it out.
Zzz!
It wasn’t a sword attack, it was a sword attack that was quite heavy.
I was able to block the scythe swinging with my sword, but it didn’t end there.
The bastard’s scythe traced a strange trajectory.
It seemed as if the sword was coiling around me like a snake, but before I knew it, it was aiming for my wrist.
When he swung his sword at my head while aiming for my limbs, I wondered why, and it turned out that he had been aiming for this from the beginning.
“hmm!”
Although he was flustered by the attack he had never seen before, he acted calmly and acted as if he was not flustered.
Without hesitation, I put down my sword, stepped forward with my left foot, and struck the bastard in the stomach with my other elbow, which had been charged with force.
Bam!
“Ugh!”
Legard flew back, drooling.
Before I could even catch the falling sword, a second guest approached me.
I kicked the falling sword’s blade with my foot, then quickly dodged behind a tree.
Ssang!
The scythe cut down the thick tree in one fell swoop.
At that moment, a gap opened up.
Towards that gap, I kicked the sword’s blade out of the air just as it was falling.
Wedge!
“What!”
Bang!
The bastard barely managed to block the sword and stepped back.
‘Stop it?’
It was an attack that even I, the attacker, did not expect, and yet I was able to block it.
He was a very talented person.
But I didn’t show it, and with a relaxed expression, I caught the falling sword and swung it threateningly in the air, then looked at the two people.
A brief standoff ensued.
The fight is all about momentum.
I tapped his shoulder with my black mask and opened my mouth in a calm tone.
“You guys are fucking assholes.”
Two middle-aged men glared at me at the word dog food.
Well, who wants to be a piece of shit?
But I kept scratching.
Because psychological warfare has a significant impact on the outcome of a battle.
“You were going to kill me with that skill? That was a long way off. Know your place. You pathetic scythe-wielding bastards. Even if you get the ninth sword, you still can’t defeat the Knight of the Cold.”
The guys were startled.
“… … How did you know that?”
“How did you know? I’m not an idiot, and I pretended to have a story with the Brothers of Death. You lost to the Knights of the Cold, right? In the end, since you lack skill, you’re trying to borrow the power of a weapon. You pathetic bastards.”
“… … .”
As if they were right, their expressions turned grim.
The brothers did not rush in right away, but instead exchanged words with more caution than before.
It looked like they were having a strategy meeting.
“Strong. Aura user.”
“It’s a strange sword technique. I’ve only clashed the swords a few times, but I can’t seem to find the form.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone kick a sword with their foot. The ability to judge the situation and boldly give up the sword the moment it’s about to grab someone’s wrist is amazing, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone go even further than that.”
“But it’s not that difficult. Just bring in one wrist or ankle and it will collapse.”
… … I thought they were praising me, but it ended with them confirming their victory.
They were still high-minded guys.
I watched them while they held their strategy meeting, crunching a rock in my hand.
“Is the meeting over?”
Legard answered.
No, is it Heaven? I’m still confused.
“Okay. Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“You don’t have to be sorry.”
“I’m going again.”
I wiggled my hands that had been clanking the stones.
“Come.”
So far, this is just an appetizer.
Let me show you a taste of martial arts.
