A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 61
Only Noblemtl
Episode 061. That kind of thing
* * *
Swish-
I fought among the demons, swinging my sword.
My clothes were soaked in the rain and my body felt heavy, but it didn’t matter because it was the same for everyone else.
Even though I joined the fight, they didn’t pay me as much attention as before.
Instead of being a demon with red eyes that needed to be focused on like before, it was treated like another evil spirit aiming for a dagger.
The eyes of those who were sparkling with greed were focused solely on the dagger.
So, as a single evil spirit aiming for a dagger, I naturally blended in with them and fought hard on equal terms.
It’s a situation where everyone is fighting against everyone.
While they first killed the man who grabbed the dagger, they also did not forget to check the men who would grab the dagger after them.
So this fight was a brutal deathmatch where everyone was killed until only one was left standing.
“You damn bastards. Kill those with daggers, and those who will. Busy, busy.”
But I didn’t care about that and just killed the guys who attacked me, the guys I just didn’t like, the guys who looked ugly.
Suddenly, I looked around the battlefield and saw that most of the remaining people had Aura wrapped around their swords.
Come to think of it, most of the Auror users were inspectors.
Why is that?
Are other weapons difficult to envelop in aura?
I couldn’t know because I was only interested in the sword.
How long did they fight in the rain like that?
The number of demons decreased rapidly.
Suddenly, I decided to take away the dagger, wanting to get the attention of the remaining demons.
I chased down and cut down a strange man who set a new record by running away 30 meters with a dagger while wearing a slingshot all over his body.
The bastard spewed out some venom before he could bite me, but it didn’t do much damage to me, having endured Linda’s tea party.
It was just a little bit smelly and sticky, so it was unpleasant.
My skin felt a little tingly, but that was quickly washed away by the rain and disappeared.
“This kid has no manners.”
I cut off the bastard’s filthy mouth and took his dagger.
As soon as I got my hands on the dagger, I became the main character of the playground again.
I responded to the demons’ enthusiastic cheers with the dagger in my mouth.
This time, swords filled with aura flew in.
The colors and shapes were varied.
I distinguished them by the colors of their auras.
First, a faint blue aura flew towards me.
Instead of clashing my sword with him head-on, I gently brought my sword to his side.
Then he moved his hind legs slightly to the side and drew out a sword wrapped in blue aura.
Kaga River!
The bastard’s aura and my sword scraped against each other, creating a loud noise and sparks flying.
The pure white sword that Bok-sil had gifted to Kyung-i was mercilessly scratched by the bastard’s aura.
My heart ached as if it was being scratched.
‘Are you sick? I’m sick too.’
It hurt my heart, but I couldn’t help it.
Because you have to learn how to cut raindrops.
I parried a few of his sword strikes like that, then found an opening and thrust my sword into it.
puck!
“Snap!”
And so the blue aura went out.
This time, a yellow aura like urine appeared.
I gently placed my sword against the bastard’s spurting stream of urine.
I carefully handled the bastard’s sword with the intention of not letting any urine splash out, but then I suddenly changed my grip on the sword and burst the bastard’s piss pot.
Tsk!
This is how I dealt with all kinds of auras.
As I fought against a sword that was wrapped in aura with a sword that wasn’t wrapped in aura, I had to examine their swords very closely.
Looking at those guys’ swords like that… … .
There was no sword strike that did not shake the tip of the sword.
‘uh?’
I felt like I had found a clue.
I looked at my sword objectively.
The tip of the sword was shaking slightly, following my heart.
‘ah.’
Come to think of it, I wondered if the sword was shaking too much and the water droplets were breaking instead of cutting through it.
So then, what should we do to keep the sword from shaking?
I kept thinking about it while keeping an eye on the shaking tips of their swords.
As I was putting out all the different auras one by one… … .
Before I knew it, the number of demons surrounding me had been reduced to four.
Swish-
A brief standoff ensued.
It seemed like a wall of rain had formed between me and them.
My eyes kept closing because of the raindrops getting into them.
The guys looked at each other, panting.
It was a psychological battle.
You can’t handle me alone.
If we attack with several people, we worry that someone might get hit in the back of the head.
That’s why trust is important in collaboration.
That’s why the brothers who died were so strong, and Jack and James were so clumsy.
This body, a master of psychological warfare, tried to solve it, but when I thought about it, I realized that there was a dagger in its mouth.
I had no choice but to show it through my actions.
“… … .”
At that moment, tension was running high and we were just looking at each other.
The guy on the right swung his sword the moment he blinked his eyes because rain had gotten in them.
Bang!
He quickly blocked the sword that suddenly appeared in front of him, and that served as a signal for the others to rush towards me.
At that moment, a strong wind suddenly blew from behind.
Phew!
The back of my head felt cold. The beastly hammerman had barged in and was about to smash my head.
In front, the surviving demons of the ugly battle of killing and being killed attack, and from behind, a giant hammer flies.
It was a do-or-die moment, but for some reason I found myself laughing.
“Hehehe.”
A smile flowed through the lips holding the dagger.
For a moment I closed my eyes.
When I closed my eyes, I could see the tips of their swords in more detail, and things I hadn’t seen before came into view.
When I think about it, the aura itself was a sharp lump of condensed mana.
I looked at the approaching auras, shaking… … .
I identified the one that was shaking the most and headed straight for it.
Kaga River! Ssag!
It was a split second.
I ran towards him, slid in with my sword against his aura, and then cut off his head.
For a moment, it seemed as if the tip of my sword had not wavered.
It was a strange feeling.
thud!
At the same time, the hammer was stuck in the spot where I was.
A situation where the siege was broken through in an instant.
They looked at me with slightly bewildered faces.
I gave them a sly grin while holding the dagger in my mouth, then turned around and ran away.
I didn’t even know where I was running away to.
“Run away!”
“That kid!”
“Catch him!”
The bastards quickly chased after us.
I put the dagger back in my bosom as I ran away.
I guess it was because it was difficult to keep my mouth shut.
Swish-
On a rainy day, devils were playing tag, pounding on the muddy road.
“Hahaha! Catch me if you can!”
“If you get caught, you’re out!”
“That crazy kid!”
I ran away happily, carrying the devils.
Somehow, I vaguely remembered the time when I ran away with a devil following me.
Coincidentally, as I was running away like that, I came across a cliff again.
When I think about it, it wasn’t such a coincidence.
This place was on a mountainside, and the terrain was very rugged.
I looked down at the steep cliff for a moment and then turned around.
The men who had chased me were panting and glaring at me.
The guy with the hammer arrived a little late.
The guy was shaking his shoulders more than the others, as if he was having a hard time running because the hammer was so heavy.
I looked at them and clicked my tongue.
“That’s because the physical strength is like that.”
Looking back, the number of four had decreased to three.
It looks like they were fighting among themselves again while they were chasing me. They seemed to be on good terms.
I faced them with my back to the cliff.
“Come.”
“Uriyaah!”
The bastards rushed at me with evil looks on their faces.
I closed my eyes and concentrated.
I swung my sword, trying my best to recreate the sensation I had experienced just a moment ago.
After fighting like crazy, only me and Hammer Man were left.
One fell off a cliff, and another one was lying there with his head blown off, although I don’t remember how he died.
We stood a little distance apart, catching our breaths for a moment and glaring at each other.
I told him.
“Beast. Wait a minute. I have something to tell you.”
The bastard answered, panting for breath.
“… … Try it.”
I raised my sword.
The beautiful, pure white sword that Bok-sil had given Kyung-i as a gift had become covered in bruises.
It was the price paid for fighting against Aura without Aura.
But for all that, it was in decent condition.
I turned my wrist so that the blade was pointing upward.
[The sword must not waver.]
I recalled the feeling of the sword being engulfed in silence.
[Restrain all movements and thrust your sword in only one direction.]
A swordsman who was so focused on his sword that it was scary. That was me.
“Phew… … .”
He exhaled and slightly relaxed his grip on the sword.
And then, he raised his sword and slashed.
wickedness.
The falling raindrop split exactly in half.
“ah.”
A feeling of utmost satisfaction filled my heart.
The dirty feeling was completely resolved.
The sky was still gloomy and gray with rain pouring down, but my heart was clear.
Before I could close my eyes and fully savor this sense of accomplishment, the cowardly Hammer Man cut in without notice.
I lightly deflected the huge hammer that was flying towards me with my sword, which was engulfed in silence.
Then he cut off several fingers of the man holding the hammer.
I tried to cut off his wrist, but the guy quickly gave up on the hammer and pulled his hand away.
The hammer fell down the cliff with a frightening clang.
“Huh!”
The beast-man who had turned into just a beast-man retreated as if he had been burned by fire and picked up the sword that had fallen on the floor.
I left him like that.
Because there was something more important than killing him right away.
Jeokjeok-
From deep within my mind, a welcome sound was heard.
It was the sound of another crack in the wall.
I opened my eyes to that crude sound.
The beast man who met my eyes flinched.
“You little punk. Your eyes… … .”
The man’s face was bloodshot.
The color of the pouring rain was also blood red.
It was like raining blood.
How do I look to him?
My inner energy began to boil.
Ghosts screamed in my ears.
I met the beast man’s eyes with a smirk and then…
I took a deep breath and calmed down my boiling internal energy.
The ghosts’ screams have quietened down.
The world that had been dyed blood red returned to its original gloomy color.
I said calmly.
“It’s my signature move.”
“… … A finishing move?”
“I can’t use my ultimate skill on someone like you.”
I swung my sword into the air and then flicked my hand.
“Come at it.”
“Eww!”
The beastman swung his sword like a hammer.
It was quite refreshing, but it wasn’t a great swordsmanship.
Swish!
I sent his sword flying towards the cliff, then kicked his side as he staggered slightly.
puck!
The guy lost his balance and fell straight down the cliff.
Bam!
No, I was about to fall, but I barely managed to hold on to the edge of the cliff.
It was already slippery because of the rain, and the sight of him barely hanging on with only a few fingers was pitiful.
Is this what a villain says? I wish all villains had words like this.
Except me.
I crouched down in front of him and looked at him.
He told me.
“Save me.”
“… … .”
“I won’t come near you. I’ll forget about the dagger. Please spare me.”
“Hehehe.”
I just smiled and watched his expression without saying much.
The heavy rain was hitting the guy’s face hard.
The strength in my fingers that were holding onto the cliff was gradually draining away.
“please…….”
“… … .”
The bastard’s fingers began to slip and slip, and finally he fell with a swear word.
The screaming continued for a long time.
It was a thin, incongruous scream.
“uh?”
I stuck my head out from the cliff and watched the bastard fall, then muttered.
“Oh, like that.”
