How to Live as a Knight After the Ending - Chapter 85



Only Noblemtl

Episode 85. Moonspot (2)

‘Licario got hit.’

It happened so quickly.

Licario, who was gathering magical power to prepare for a 4-star spell, was defeated without even being able to say a word.

Even though he wasn’t careless and even had four wizards protecting him, the result didn’t change.

‘That monster is too dangerous!’

He is merely an individual.

In other words, Delon was the only individual hired to orchestrate this kind of thing behind the scenes.

It was not without its doubts why Delran had hired only one. The more there were, the better it would have been for him.

But now I know why.

Because one Ossian would have been enough.

‘Finish it before it gets any closer!’

I knew Ossian was fast, so I planned to finish him off with this one blow before he could even get close.

It was fortunate that I brought along someone with the ability to amplify my abilities.

“Dieeeeeeeeeee!”

Lightning flashed through Rachel’s body. Her eyes also turned purple and sparked.

A lightning storm raged.

A localized lightning strike struck the spacious hall of the mansion.

The source of the lightning that poured down without any thunderclouds was Rachel.

‘This is a bit dangerous.’

A widespread downpour of lightning.

Each and every blow was a threatening blow.

If it had been the power of Seonggwang, it would have been possible to break through it head-on, but Wolheun did not do so.

Although it dramatically increases speed, its defense is close to that of a sheet of paper.

However, the warnings my intuition was sending me were not easy to trust in just the body of a max-level knight.

‘Was it greedy to try to catch both at the same time?’

Licario and Rachel.

It was inevitable that the moment one caught one, one would have to deal with the offensive of the other.

Ossian moved without stopping.

Since the speed was faster, I thought I would take advantage of that and find an opening somehow.

‘Besides, this is exactly how I fight.’

While the knight’s body preferred to charge straight into enemies, as a gamer he was quite the opposite.

Taking the time to analyze the opponent’s patterns and attack by exploiting their weaknesses.

That was what Ossian did best.

Crackle! Crackle!

The lightning striking indiscriminately made it difficult to approach Rachel.

But Ossian discovered that there was a pattern to the irregularity.

‘Among the random lightning strikes that strike indiscriminately, there is one that is aimed precisely at me.’

The moment you stop, you will be struck by lightning and turn into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

Ossian, who had been sliding on the ice, swung his Moonlight Sword and knocked away the flying bullets.

‘Besides, the mutants that support you from behind are usually quite annoying.’

One person who seals the Holy Light, and one person who amplifies its abilities.

Those two are the only mutants left.

Although the two were not suited for combat, they took out their pistols and fired at Ossian.

As a non-combatant, he had to have a means of protecting himself, and in this day and age of gunpowder and scientific advancements, there was no weapon more suitable than a gun.

In addition, it was obvious that he had received shooting training, as he was able to predict the fast-moving Ossian’s movement route and shoot his gun.

‘I guess mutants who belong to an organization are different.’

Falling lightning and flying bullets.

It seemed impossible to squeeze through that gap and approach Rachel.

But it is already too late to back out.

Since you’re already in Rachel’s attack range, trying to escape from here will only make you prey to the lightning.

‘We need to get closer.’

He cut down the bullets flying towards him while crossing his swords.

Two mutants were seen reloading their pistols as their ammunition reached its limit.

The opportunity was right now.

Ossian, who had been consistently evasive, rushed toward Rachel.

Rachel smiled with conversion as she looked at Ossian like that.

It was a well-known fact that there was a gap while reloading.

That’s why I intentionally created this situation.

This is the moment when Ossian, who had been running away like a rat, comes straight at me.

Rachel reached out toward Ossian and clenched her fist.

Then, the trajectory of the vertically falling lightning changed and headed towards Ossian.

The random lightning strikes up until now were actually a trick for this moment.

‘Got it.’

The purple lightning striking from all directions will dig in like sharp awls, burning everything from the insides to the skin.

A smile already appeared on Rachel’s face at the thought of turning her into a lump of charcoal without leaving a single cell behind.

Pachin!

And the moment I saw Ossian being struck by lightning and shattered into pieces.

Rachel couldn’t help but wonder.

‘What is this?’

Why would a person be shattered into pieces if he’s not a glass sculpture?

His ability was not the type that could freeze and destroy his opponents, but rather support them with lightning.

‘no way?’

Rachel’s wide eyes turned to the shattering pieces.

What I thought was Ossian was actually a piece of ice.

The crystal shards, bathed in moonlight, sparkled and melted away.

“Fake, you say?”

A completely different technique from what Ossian has shown so far.

More than wondering how on earth she had done it, there was something else that puzzled Rachel.

“Then where is the truth?”

“think.”

The place where Ossian appeared was right behind Rachel.

Powder of light, or more precisely, ice shards created using the cold air of the moon.

It was used to refract light, dazzle the opponent’s vision, and create fake clones.

A technique that takes advantage of the characteristics of the moon.

The name is.

“Suwol (water and moon).”

It was a technique to dazzle the opponent, meaning the moon reflected in water.

In the game, it was used as bait to replace scarecrows, but now that it has become reality, it is possible to create and handle them like clones.

And thanks to this, Ossian was able to get close to Rachel.

“this……!”

Rachel spun around, swinging her arms, holding lightning in both hands.

Ossian’s sword flashed faster than that.

A frosty blow carved into the air.

In the time it took for this man to swing his arm once, Ossian’s twin swords had already completed more than ten attacks.

“ah.”

Rachel fell backwards with a thud.

Her pupils were completely frozen, the strength draining from them and the life draining from them.

The lightning that had been striking the surrounding area stopped.

Ossian waved his sword away and stared at the two remaining mutants.

Now that Rachel was gone, the two non-combatants had no chance of winning.

“Eww!”

They aimed their loaded pistols with great effort, but it did not extend their lives.

Crunch.

Ossian’s sword cleanly cut off both their necks.

When the mutant whose powers were sealed died, the translucent box floating above his head opened again.

The pure white light contained within the box leaped out and was absorbed back into Ossian’s body.

Ossian let out a sigh at the starlight rising from within.

It felt strange to fight for the first time without the Holy Light after always using it.

It wasn’t so bad though. The moon was also his strength.

With this, Ossian obtained not only the Holy Light but also the Moonlight.

‘Of course, this isn’t all there is to Wolheun.’

Only three techniques that can be considered the foundation of the moonlight could be used.

Moonlight Island.

Easy.

Seolsan stepping stone.

These are the three most basic skills given when taking the Moonlight Tech Tree in the game, each for attack, evasion, and movement.

The real Moonshin had many more amazing skills than this.

‘There’s no need to feel impatient. We’ll be able to collect them again someday.’

What was most exciting was the increased usability of the abilities.

‘In the game, each job can only use one trait.’

If you raise the Holy Light trait, only the Holy Light will be there.

If you raise the moon sign, only the moon sign can be used.

As you progress through the sub-quests, you will unlock dual traits that allow you to learn other traits, but they are nothing more than a facade.

Even if you raise it with the focus on Seonggwang and learn Wolheun, its power is too low to be of any use.

‘It’s a game, so the damage values ??and balance are determined by the system, but it’s different here.’

Even if you learn Holy Light, you can still use Moonlight.

Neither side was lacking in power. Both were more powerful than I could have imagined, beyond satisfactory.

‘Compared to the stage-like Holy Light, the Moonlight that has various effects like this will make the battle a little more colorful.’

Just looking at the water moon that can deceive the opponent right now, its versatility is very excellent.

If you gather more of the power of the moon here and acquire the upper level skills of the water moon.

At that time, instead of using bait like this, you will be able to use clones that you can manipulate like real limbs.

And there are not just one, but several.

“Oh, this can’t be happening.”

David slumped down in his seat as all those he had hired died at the hands of Ossian.

When Ossian glanced at David, his face turned pale and he fell asleep.

David’s pants were soaking wet as he fell.

I was so scared that I fainted and even peed my pants just by making eye contact.

Ossian shook his head as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen, and stared into the hallway with sharp eyes.

“Are you done watching? Why don’t you just come out now?”

I already knew that someone was watching this fight.

Elise, who had been hiding in Ossian’s intellect, revealed herself.

“Are you thinking of fighting too?”

Elise was not alone.

On either side of her were two skeletons summoned by necromancy.

It was a different type of soldier skeleton than the one we dealt with when fighting ghosts.

They appeared to be a couple, one wearing a wedding dress and the other wearing a tuxedo.

“no.”

Elise denied Ossian’s words.

“I tried to help if it was dangerous. I didn’t need to.”

“You’re saying you missed your chance to intervene?”

“Yeah. As expected, you’re strong.”

I wasn’t particularly pleased with the compliments from the warlock.

Instead, Ossian looked closely at the two skeletons.

“curious?”

“Is that a special skeleton?”

“Yes. Their names are [Groom] and [Bride].”

“A skeleton with that kind of outfit and name? Are they playing with dolls or something? That’s bad taste.”

“They asked me to do it that way.”

“who.”

“My parents.”

“… … .”

Ossian, who was speechless for a moment, asked cautiously.

“If you’re my parents, are you talking about that skeleton?”

“Okay. Let me introduce you. This is my mom and dad.”

Ossian felt his eyes getting dizzy.

He’s not even the greatest traitor, and yet he uses necromancy to control the corpses of his own parents?

“So, what you’re saying is that those skeletons are your parents?”

“huh.”

“What other metaphorical meaning is that… …”

“My real mom and dad. My biological parents who gave birth to me.”

It was a shocking thing.

Ossian’s emotions, which were not surprising at all, were clearly visible.

“How on earth did that happen… … .”

“Our family history.”

“… … Then, are there also grandparent skeletons?”

Elise asked, her eyes widening at those words.

“How did you know?”

“… … .”

This is why I hate warlocks.

Ossian decided to give up on talking to Elise.

“The youngest daughter of this house is so lucky to be your friend.”

“Yeah. Maria is also from the same academy as me.”

“… … Wait a minute. If it’s the same academy, then it’s a place that teaches black magic?”

“Yeah. Caligo Biblio. Maria goes there too.”

Ossian drastically revised his assessment of the youngest, Maria Goldin, who was relatively sound.

‘The household is in good shape.’

It seemed that Dyke’s children’s farming had gone terribly wrong.
