How to Live as a Knight After the Ending - Chapter 103

Episode 103. Enhanced Human (1)

Ossian had guessed that this moment would come.

Inside the ancient ruins, where communication was not possible, there was no way for outsiders to know what was happening there.

Of course, it would be the same even if the people who went inside fought among themselves.

How do you know who killed who?

We don’t know whether the dead person died in the relic’s trap, by the guardian, or by a person, because there are no witnesses.

That is why people had to brace themselves the moment they entered the ruins.

That in the ruins, you don’t just have to fight monsters or guardians, you also have to fight people.

Blood flow began to increase rapidly in Ossian’s body.

“Actually, I was a little bit looking forward to it.”

How strong would an enhanced human who thinks he is superior be?

Ossian was really curious about that.

‘A type of person that doesn’t exist in the game.’

Augmented humans are humans whose genes have been modified using advanced magic and science.

Of course, he was a person you would never see in a game where even a shred of what could be called science did not exist.

“What? Expectations?”

The augmented human frowned at Ossian’s remark.

“Are you out of your mind? Or are you trying to scare us by putting on a show at a moment like this?”

“If that’s what you heard, then I don’t mind thinking about it.”

“I guess I can’t just end it with you taking care of it.”

The aura emanating from the enhanced humans has become even stronger.

Balud, who was standing next to him, scolded Ossian.

“What are you trying to do by provoking the enemies further?”

“He was planning to kill us anyway, so there’s no need to provoke him further.”

That wasn’t wrong, so Balud fixed his gaze straight ahead and focused on his enemies.

‘Fortunately, it looks like they won’t all rush in at once.’

Enhanced humans are psychopaths who believe they are superior to humans.

I guess they decided that there was no need for all ten of them to go up against just two.

Balud’s opponent was a female enhanced human with white hair that reached her waist.

The subtle, crooked corners of her eyes on her doll-like face felt uncomfortable.

“What a handsome guy.”

What on earth would make someone compliment someone’s appearance when they’re about to die?

The reason was quickly apparent.

“I like killing people like that the best.”

“… … .”

Anyway, these guys are no ordinary guys.

When working for the mafia, you meet all kinds of people, but enhanced humans are more unpleasant than anything else.

Most of them were psychopaths, perhaps because their brains were damaged from being experimented on.

Those who say they’d rather fight for money look like fairies.

Balud did not respond to the augmented human’s words, as if they were not worth responding to.

“Well, it hurts when you act so coldly. But it’s good. It makes it sound sweeter when you scream later.”

“Did you only learn how to fight through words?”

Balud couldn’t stand it anymore and started swinging his axe back and forth.

“Come in.”

“That’s funny. Don’t be so hard on yourself. There’s plenty of time. Until then, why don’t you worry about your colleagues first?”

It was just as the woman said.

The enhanced human who was facing Ossian, and he was the leader of this group, rushed towards Ossian.

Aaron, his teammates, and the enhanced humans with him all thought the same thing.

Soon Ossian’s limbs will be torn off, and his eyes will be gouged out alive, just as the augmented human had just warned.

There was a reason for his confidence, but Balud couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Worry about your colleagues?’

That’s funny. Who the hell cares about whom?

At least the Ossian he fought wasn’t weak enough to be defeated by a mere enhanced human like that.

Crunch!

The arm of the enhanced human that had rushed towards Ossian was severed, spraying blood.

“what?”

The augmented human felt something strange. At that moment, his vision tilted to the side.

Before he knew it, Ossian had cut off one of his ankles, knocking him off balance.

The blade fell towards the neck of the enhanced human who was about to fall.

The augmented human placed one arm on the ground and pushed his body backwards strongly.

Ossian’s blade narrowly missed him.

“You look surprised.”

Ossian spoke calmly to the augmented human who was looking at him from a distance.

The enhanced human couldn’t easily answer those words. Just a moment ago, his hand was aimed at Ossian’s shoulder.

The goal is to first rip off the arm holding the sword.

But instead, it was his own arm that was cut off. What was even funnier was that he didn’t even notice the sword passing through his arm.

“How on earth?”

“Are your eyes any better?”

“eye?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a red line appeared across the augmented human’s eyes.

Blood spurted out with a splatter.

“Kuaaaah!”

Even though he was an enhanced human, he couldn’t endure the pain of having his eyes cut off.

All the enhanced humans, including Aaron, who were watching the scene, were surprised.

“When on earth?”

Just then, their leader, the augmented human, clearly dodged Ossian’s sword.

That’s how it was, but my eye got cut out. Could it be that you were aiming for my eye from the beginning? And yet I didn’t notice it at all?

Red blood dripping down.

The leader staggered from his seat.

‘Are you up?’

Ossian felt uncomfortable at the sight.

The severed leg had returned to its original form. In addition, the severed arm was seen regenerating in real time.

The wound bubbles with a hissing sound and rises like a lizard’s tail.

The same was true for the eyes.

The wound across his face healed in an instant, and his cut eye was restored to its original state.

“I will kill you.”

But there was something different from before: his expression clearly showed his feelings towards Ossian.

“I thought your face was broken because it had no expression, but that’s not necessarily the case. It looks better.”

Ossian was purely amazed, saying that he had learned something new.

Of course, from the perspective of the enhanced humans, it only sounded like a provocation.

The moment the other augmented humans took a step forward, the leader shouted.

“Everyone stop! I will definitely kill that bastard. Anyone who interferes will die by my hand first.”

The other augmented humans stepped back again at the leader’s growling words.

Ossian sneered at him.

“Wouldn’t it be better if several people attacked together?”

“You just made a big mistake. You should have killed me when you had the chance. Now you won’t be able to do that.”

The enhanced human charged towards Ossian again.

Its name was not given for nothing; its movements were nimble yet expressive.

The enhanced human’s body advanced several meters with just one step, and in an instant, he reached within arm’s reach of Ossian.

The speed was twice as fast as when I was just trying to play around with it.

and.

Ossian reacted even at that speed.

Flash!

The elven longsword held by Ossian moved. The sharp blade aimed for the enhanced human’s wrist once again.

This time, the purpose is to cut off my wrist.

Kang! With a sound, Ossian’s sword was blocked by his wrist.

“hmm?”

“Did you think I’d get hurt again?”

The enhanced human chuckled.

The wrist that blocked Ossian’s sword had scales like those of a reptile.

“While watching it play, I felt like it was really a lizard?”

“You still seem to have some free time since you’re talking nonsense!”

The augmented human kicked Ossian’s sword away with his scaled hand.

It looked like it had bare legs, but that wasn’t the case. Its legs were also covered in sharp scales.

Ossian tilted his head back. A reptilian leg brushed the tip of his nose.

The moment he was about to step back, Ossian felt his body tremble.

It was because of the lizard’s tail that had caught his ankle.

That wasn’t all. A new palm sprouted from the palm of the augmented human holding Ossian’s sword and wrapped around his sword’s body.

A sight that makes you feel physiological disgust just by looking at it.

“indeed.”

Only then did Ossian realize why enhanced humans and modified humans were differentiated.

“The moment I first saw it, I felt like it was a lab rat, and I was right.”

If it comes out like this, I have no choice but to show this side as well.

A holy light shot out from Ossian’s sword. The fierce white flame that burned everything burned the entire arm of the enhanced human.

In particular, the hand holding the sword completely turned to ash and disappeared without a trace.

Ossian, who had cut off the arm with a flash of light, also lightly cut off the protruding tail.

The augmented human opened his eyes wide. The wounds did not regenerate as usual.

It was because the high heat of the Holy Light Sword had burned the wound.

He quickly tried to forcefully cut the wounded area to resume regeneration. Ossian didn’t want to just sit back and watch.

Crunch.

His sword swung again, burning the eyes of the augmented human.

“Kwaaah!”

As his vision became obscured, the augmented human opened his mouth and flicked out his forked tongue.

The one who immediately figured out Ossian’s location with just that fixed its head on Ossian and covered its entire body with scales.

It wasn’t just scales. Thorns like porcupines sprouted out from the clothes on his back, tearing them apart.

“Come and see… … !”

The stars danced before I could even shout to come.

Ossian’s sword cut through thorns and scales so gently.

The severed limbs were strewn all over the place, and the augmented human, now reduced to a mere body, fell to the ground.

“Oh, how… … . I, I couldn’t possibly lose to a lowly human… … .”

The neck of the enhanced human, who was about to say something about how unfair this situation was, suddenly fell off.

Ossian stared at the other augmented humans, ignoring their clean-cut heads.

The men were shocked and horrified at how their leader had been so easily defeated.

“That guy got hurt?”

“How on earth?”

Their leader, who is said to have a dirty personality, was defeated by a mere troubleshooter.

To the humans they looked down on as being so inferior.

Even more surprising was the sword of Ossian.

Even the hard skin of the pure white black enhanced human, which seemed to push away the surrounding darkness, was easily torn apart like butter.

The same goes for the mysterious swordsmanship. All they saw was a few trajectories of pure white light passing over the leader’s body.

However, the enhanced humans were quick to judge the situation.

Unlike Aaron, who was dumbfounded and couldn’t close his mouth, they immediately took up their positions and ran towards Ossian and Balud.

Balud adjusted his grip on the axe.

The female enhanced human who he expected to be the first to fight him rushed forward.

“asleep!”

Where did the leisurely pace from before go? There was now a venomous note in his voice.

The augmented humans didn’t carry weapons, but there was no need for them to do so in the first place. Their bodies were no different from weapons.

Boom!

A fist fell on the crossed axes. However, the force was so great that Balud’s body shook greatly.

“Can’t you push this?”

The opponent was equally surprised. Even a man with a strong physique would be sent flying backwards when hit by this, but Balud held firm as if he were rooted to the ground.

Crunch.

A rock was placed around the reinforced human’s fist, which was clenched again.

Boom! Bang!

The fist struck the hatchet several times. Balud’s body shook violently, but he still held his ground.

At the moment when an opening was revealed, Balud swung one of his axes with a great swing.

“With just that axe!”

The axe is aiming for the collarbone of the reinforced human.

The enhanced human woman placed a solid rock over it.

Tsk tsk!

Balud’s axe split the rock, breaking bones as it went.

“uh?”

Balud coldly shot back at the bewildered augmented human.

“If you can’t even split a rock with an axe, how can you call yourself a director of North Blinders?”

The strength drained from the enhanced human’s body and his legs gave out. His regenerative powers were not working.

‘Blood, the skin is dying.’

It was because of the power of the frost on the axe.

Balud stared at the enhanced human with a cold gaze beyond his glasses.

“fat…….”

“I don’t have a hobby of screaming like you do, so I’ll send it to you neatly.”

Tsk tsk!

An axe was stuck between the eyebrows.

A kick flew towards Balud, who had just finished clearing one. It was a surprise attack by the enhanced human who was furious at losing his comrade.

Balud, who had been hit by a bullet and bounced off, got up and regained his composure.

“It’s endless.”

Balud spat out the blood that had gathered in his mouth.

What was flying towards him as he took his stance was a strong lightning bolt.

Phage, phage, phage!

Illua cried out in surprise when she saw Balud wrapped in blue electricity.

“Mr. Balud!”

Even if it was Balud, this was dangerous.

Because if you were attacked to that degree, it wouldn’t be strange if you were turned into a lump of charcoal.

But surprisingly, Balud did not die.

There were burn marks all over his body, and his clothes were also burned in places, exposing his skin.

Pus oozed from the burned skin.

Although it was not a small wound, the augmented human opened his eyes wide in surprise at the fact that he did not die from such an attack.

“You can survive after getting hit by that?”

“Ah. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this hot.”

A few strands of Balud’s hair, which was always neatly slicked back, fell down his forehead.

A red glow lingered in his eyes.

“I think I need to do some errands today.”

Balud, who can use all the skills of a barbarian warrior.

Another trait he had never used before, [Frenzy Bear], was activated.
