Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 165



Only Noblemtl

165. Let’s convert first. The spear is a great weapon.

But if you ask whether it is the best weapon for a warrior, everyone will laugh in vain.

The spear was a weapon with as many disadvantages as advantages.

The most fatal flaw among them is that it is difficult to penetrate the protective power of the armor.

It’s only natural that the spear tip would be blocked even by chainmail, or even just a gambiton.

Eventually, warriors who felt the limitations of their weak killing power were forced to choose other weapons even if it meant taking risks.

If you value cool looks and versatility, wear a sword on your waist; if you want the destructive power to slash chain links in one go, wear an axe on your waist.

For warriors, spears were not necessarily carried except when forming a phalanx, hunting, or throwing spears.

Of course, it can be used against enemies wearing armor.

Perhaps through training that is much more difficult and arduous than handling swords and axes.

Ariaba, swinging four times.

The red-haired warrior had known that all his life.

Hung, hung, hung-.

The thick beams rotate and cut through the wind.

The other man, Bishop Narva, who was dressed in a completely black outfit as if he had been doused in black paint, was just turning the spear.

I wanted to keep glaring and guarding, but the situation wasn’t favorable.

What Ariaba is up against now is another knight who swings his flail without hesitation.

-It was Terveer.

Clang!

The sound of folded chain links unfolding.

This was always followed by a heavy mass.

Even one hit from that heavy hammer, which is loaded with centrifugal force, will result in serious injury and immediate death.

Ariaba gritted his teeth and held the axe handle tightly.

Swing four times.

While fully revealing the movements that fit the nickname.

Once. The first blow distorts the direction of the hammer’s advance.

Twice. Slow down the speed of the hammer by striking down hard with the other axe.

Three times. After pulling the chain taut once to prevent it from wrapping around the axe handle or arm.

Four times. Strike with all your might and kick away the chains and the hammer.

All of this was happening in the blink of an eyelid.

The shredded iron powder scattered like tiny sparks, and the loud frictional sound scratched my eardrums as it grew larger.

After a fierce battle, it was Ariaba who gained the upper hand.

Even the heaviest of hammers would lose their power in the face of the relentless swing of the double axes.

It’s an opportunity.

The moment I saw the iron hammer dangling from the loose chain link, I felt an urge to rush at it right away.

However, the experience he had accumulated as a warrior and his intuition, formed from overcoming countless life-or-death experiences, gave him a subtle warning.

If you dig in, you die!

Ariaba followed his intuition.

Instead of rushing at Terveer, I decided to take a step back and readjust my double axes.

It was at this time that the silver blade appeared.

The silvery sheen rippled and lined the surface like the scales of a swimming fish.

The line drawn by the silver blade split the world into up and down.

Then, at last, the moment when the silver line began to fly in the form of a dot, the blade becoming the tip of a spear-.

-Ariaba crossed his double axes in one breath and bent his upper body.

bang!

It was more of an explosion than a crash.

At least that’s what Ariaba thought.

As it bounced off the tip of the spear, it received the shock.

Fortunately, it only flew a few steps.

but…

Ariaba landed on his tiptoes, grabbing the axe roughly.

‘Powerful enough to penetrate chainmail…!’

A warrior knows a warrior.

And now, Ariaba was confident as a great warrior.

The power that was put into the tip of the spear just now was not something that a bunch of idiots could show off.

It is different from simply shouting out loud because you are strong.

It is a refined technique that has been achieved by pursuing efficiency and removing unnecessary elements to the utmost extent.

A divine spear technique that can only be demonstrated by those who know where, when, and how to aim the tip of the spear to become most powerful, and who have the skills to put it into practice.

But what was more shocking was the connection.

The moment when Ariaba barely manages to catch his breath.

The knight in front of him, Terveer, was already running towards him with his eyes gleaming behind his face shield.

-While swinging the hammer around.

Ariaba rolled desperately.

The hammer narrowly missed and struck down where Ariaba had been.

bang!

The ground is shaky.

The shattered ground screamed, spewing out dirt particles everywhere.

If he hadn’t avoided it, Ariaba’s head would have ended up like that.

But the hammer, Terveer had no intention of letting his opponent go.

As soon as Terveer realized he had missed, he grabbed the handle and raised the hammer.

A terrified Ariaba immediately fixed his axe handle and showed off his proud throwing skills.

The axe that has left your hand begins to spin.

Just like this, let go of your fingertips and split the opponent’s head open.

Unfortunately, the wish in my heart is.

Once again I was blocked by the silver blade.

Kaaa ah ah ah!!!

The tip of the spear is aimed at the axe blade without a single inch of misalignment.

The tremendous impact at the end sent the axe flying far away.

“!”

A heavy spear came before the hammer I was prepared for.

Ariaba stood up, bouncing back as if he was being shot by an arrow.

As he stood up, he adjusted his grip on the axe in his other hand and aimed the axe handle at the approaching spear.

Hot!

The hand holding the axe handle was cold.

But I prevented the vital points from being hit.

…there wasn’t even time to feel relieved.

The window rotates.

Narva, having confirmed that he had not caused any damage, was retrieving his spear again.

And the empty space left by the departing spear was replaced by a fierce hammer blow.

Kagagagang!!!

Ariaba desperately tried to slow down the hammer’s momentum.

I vowed to myself that I would really rush in this time and swung with all my might four times.

But after the hammer was kicked away, and a gap was barely created, the color of Jin Eun would inevitably fill the gap.

‘I’m so tired of this, I’m collapsing.’

No matter how well you handle it, a hammer has a higher killing power than a spear.

Rather than dealing with a hammer that crushes everything with its weight, it is better to deal with a spear that has half the power without skill.

Ariaba, having decided so, no longer avoided getting hurt.

Rather, he held the axe upright, facing the tip of the spear, which was tilted towards him from the line to the point.

‘A spear without branches.’

Then, in one breath, he climbs up the blade and aims for his opponent.

Here, risk your life!

Kang!

The tip of the spear, struck by the axe blade, bends downwards.

It was the result of barely holding on to the limit and then launching a counterattack.

Ariaba didn’t stop there, but instead shifted his weight while deflecting the axe blade that had been swung down.

He started running, pushing the axe with both hands as if scraping off tree bark.

It was much faster than Narva could retrieve the spear.

At that moment.

Shhh-.

A smile blooms beneath eyes burning with victory spirit.

Instead of fully withdrawing the spear, Narva chose to step back with his left foot.

To put weight on the window.

It was to rotate.

Kagakak!

The axe blade narrowly grazed Narva’s skin.

Silvery drops of blood oozed out from between his Adam’s apples, but it was far from a fatal wound.

Ariaba watched the scene with his eyes wide open.

While being pushed against the window.

Phew!

Ariaba, who was pushed and thrown away, rolled over in a hurry.

Next time.

He swung his axe tenaciously, waiting for another chance to dig in.

But no second chance was given.

“Die, infidel!”

Terveer swung his hammer with tireless bravery and pressed on without mercy.

When the hammer lost its momentum, there was no choice but to show an opening, but that was it.

This was because Narva burst into laughter and stabbed Ariaba with his spear as he tried to take advantage of the opportunity.

“Hahahaha! You’re really hitting on me!”

It was persistent.

And it was fatal.

Narva blocked the rushing Ariaba with the tip of his spear, and the swinging axe handle with the shaft of his spear, cutting off the flow of attacks.

Then, occasionally, he would launch a fierce attack that could have led to his death.

Ariaba withstood all these connections, but his limitations were clear.

It starts to hurt little by little.

The skin was torn and blood was oozing out.

That fact shook Ariava.

‘Why…?!’

Yongrin.

A miracle of protection granted to those favored by the Thunder God.

Scales that would cover the wounded area and become an armor that no weapon could penetrate would grow.

The miracle that should have remained even after tightly weaving the gap between the wounds has disappeared.

Ariaba felt his hair turn white.

‘Are you trying to revitalize? No, even if you were to revitalize, I’ve never heard of a case where it was done without scales growing out!’

And this song determined Ariava’s end.

Bang!

The axe bounces off the tip of the spear.

At the same time, the hammer wrapped around Ariaba’s right arm and crushed it.

“Ahhhhhh!”

The bones are crushed in an instant.

But Terveer showed no pity.

Instead, he swung his hammer and threw Ariaba to the ground, then looked down at him with a cold gaze.

-If this continues, you will die.

Ariaba, who realized that fact, immediately raised his good hand and shouted.

“Surrender, surrender!”

“Surrender is nonsense.”

The moment Terveer lifted his foot and was about to crush his head without hesitation.

Ariaba forced a smile with all her might and waved her hands wildly.

“Yes, convert. Convert! I will convert!!!”

“….”

Towering.

Terveer tried to kick the head off, but instead stepped back slowly.

And he looked at Narva without hiding his bewildered eyes.

“Narva, this guy is converting.”

Narva shrugged, burying the tip of his spear into the ground.

“You pagans. Your gods will not tolerate apostasy. Are you serious?”

“Convert first and repent later! If you offer a lot of tribute, I will forgive you!”

The old gods of Ise seem to be much more benevolent than expected.

Narva and Terveer looked at each other and laughed in vain.

Narva made the sign of the cross and responded with a gentle, priestly smile.

“Then let us die first and then convert.”

“No, I’m serious! Warrior who believes in Lux Stella, I’m someone who was originally worried about how I could serve the alien starlight, no, Lux Stella!”

“That’s not something we can judge, so let’s just die and have a one-on-one meeting.”

“That power, the miracle that Lux Stella gave you!”

But Ariaba did not give up easily.

He raised his head from his prone position and looked up at Narva with sparkling eyes.

“I know what it is. I know what it is! I know how powerful Lux Stella is!”

“…”

“That power that easily crushes the miracles of other gods…! If you see that power, it would be natural for you to willingly convert! Chieftain, that’s why I hid it. That’s why I hid it!”

Ariaba’s eyes were now filled with blood vessels.

“I want to serve him too. I want to live under his power. What on earth do I have to offer him? What do you want me to receive that you can give me such great power?”

“Offering…”

The reaction became more intense as Terveer frowned.

Ariava stared straight at Narva, his gaze squirming with a strange certainty.

“I am ready to serve Lux Stella. Tell me what she wants! I, too, will offer her a fitting tribute and willingly become her disciple!”

Narva looked down at Ariava, who was squirming and screaming in supplication, for a long time.

Even the smile that was in full bloom was completely erased.

Only after remaining silent like that did he finally open his mouth.

“Life.”

“?”

“Lux Stella expects the lives of her followers as an offering.”

“…!!!”

Ariaba’s eyes fill with astonishment.

He turned his head around and looked at Narva and Terveer several times, then opened his mouth blankly.

“Life. Life. That’s…”

When I closed my mouth not long after.

Ariaba’s face was filled with resignation, without a single trace of regret.

“That’s too big a price to pay…”

Those words became a will.

The silver spear tip passed through the Adam’s apple without hesitation, twisting and piercing it.

A heretic who had the courage to converse with the skulls of the warriors he had killed while causing countless massacres and who longed to become a follower of Lux Stella.

Ariaba, who swung four times, remained a believer of Ise until the end.

***

Ariaba’s death only hastened the already certain victory.

The soldiers deployed by Narva were completely surrounding the pagan crowd and tightening their grip.

By defeating the mad horde through mechanical and systematic slaughter.

And as victory became certain, the refugees who had been running around and being chased began to gather in one place.

“Hey, you… are you alive?”

“Starlight of the world, I thank you for the warriors you sent me…”

“Mom! I can’t see Dunk!”

Countless voices are entangled.

Terveer felt his heart burn thickly as he saw those who cried out for a faint hope and those who swallowed resignation in their throats.

Terveer couldn’t hide his reddened eyes as he looked at the people he had saved.

“Narva. Look at them.”

“…”

“We too come from there, souls neither strong enough to defend ourselves nor tough enough to hold back tears. If we are their branches, they are our leaves. They are by no means worthless.”

And I also knew that as family and brothers, I could no longer be there for you.

“Of course, one leaf or two is fine. But if you keep pulling them out, only the bare branches will remain and wither and die. Narva, we will look like fools for insisting on the difficult path. Nevertheless, the reason we avoid the easy and obvious method is because we know the weakness of people.

“Knowing the weakness of relying only on the easy way…”

For once, you seem smart and speak with meaning.

It was the moment when Terveer turned around with such pride in himself.

“…Narva, what are you doing?”

“ah.”

Terveer could see Narva lifting the ring while kicking Araava’s corpse with his foot.

Narva, who was caught doing that, scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed and then slipped out the ring.

“This ring. Doesn’t it look expensive?”

“Narvaaaa …
