I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess - I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 99

99 – Retribution (4)

A wind blew in the mountains at night.

A night when the rising white moon looks particularly ominous.

The sound of damaging the wild grass and stepping on fallen leaves was loud.

The source of the sound was Baron Iklan.

He played really hard. Even when he looked back on his long life, he felt that he had never run so desperately.

When he was young, even when his father scolded him not to be lazy, he reluctantly did not run.

Since life was at stake, even shortness of breath was not a problem.

Those barbaric demons. And it seemed like the waves created by the collision between the non-human beings were still clearly visible on my body.

The fight between demons and humans. But what was felt was a clash between something sinister and something more sinister.

When I think of those hideous things chasing me from behind, I feel chills in my stomach.

Thanks to this, Baron Iklan was able to run harder than usual.

Saint of rest. The wounds inflicted by that damned woman kept throbbing.

When I looked back, it seemed like there was another white bone hanging there that I didn’t want to see again in my dreams.

“Wow, wow…… Rotten. Why is it so dark? “You can’t see anything in front of you.”

What on earth did you do when you came in here?

When I think about it, those kites climbed this dark mountain range without even a torch.

At that time, the Baron himself seemed to be able to see clearly.

Is this also the power of the god Hybras?

The Baron could not know.

How far did I run based on such vague memories?

The Baron ran as hard as he could, getting his skin scratched by branches he had not seen before and sometimes tripping over stones.

It seems as if God recognized his efforts, as signs of popularity were heard from nearby.

“Is there anyone there? If you don’t answer, I will treat you as a monster and attack you.”

“People! Are you a person? Who is it? “Are you a ranger?”

“Yes. My name is Zimmer, a ranger from the Northern Mountains Garrison. “Who are you?”

Baron Iklan’s face was full of joy.

A young man who identified himself as a ranger approached through the bushes.

The Baron breathed heavily and waited for the ranger.

“I am Rabotas Iklan! I am the head of Baron Iklan, the Sword of the North! Come on, guide me to your guard post!”

“Yes? How did a noble end up in a place like this? … First of all, I understand. “I will protect you from now on, so please follow me.”

As a baron, luck was with him.

I realized how lucky I was to not have encountered any monsters until now.

As soon as we encountered the ranger, monsters appeared one by one as if they had been waiting.

It was a shame because he handled it skillfully, but if the Baron had been alone, even ten lives would have been lacking.

He was born as the eldest son of a warrior family and had experience handling a sword, but he never dared to fight directly.

Fortunately, a second stroke of luck soon followed him.

The ranger happened to have parked his horse nearby.

Skilled at driving a horse. The warhorse raised with care by the imperial army ran like the wind even with two men on board.

Thanks to this, Baron Iklan was able to reach the rangers’ post in an instant.

“Well, can I hear the situation now? Otherwise, the mountain range is in disarray, so we are starting a search.”

“You don’t need to know that.”

“Recently, there are many suspicious incidents in the northern mountains. If the Baron doesn’t cooperate…… “

“Uh-huh! He seems like a disgusting guy. It’s not good for idiots like you to know. “How dare you interrogate me, even though I’m a commoner?”

“…… Sorry. “I committed a crime of impoliteness.”

“Hmm! “I just need to know.”

The rangers had a lot to ask him.

Why was the author, who seemed to have fought only with food his entire life, wandering the northern mountains this late at night?

And that too during this time when turbulent events continue to occur recently.

However, the rangers could not arbitrarily interrogate the nobles without orders from superiors.

If there was clear evidence, even a ranger who underwent rigorous training was ultimately just a soldier.

It is impossible to persecute him just because he is suspicious.

That was Baron Iklan’s third stroke of luck.

He shamelessly began to treat the rangers like his own subordinates.

“More than that, Jeon Seo-gu. No, there are no wizards here? “There is someone I need to contact.”

“Zimmer. You should report to the leader. Baron, please follow me. I’ll bring the wizard. Where can I send the contact information? “Preparation is necessary.”

“Lord Revan…… No, I have to contact Marquis Eloran first. “I have something to tell Lord Revan, so prepare to contact the Count Hintz family.”

The rangers had no choice but to follow.

For now.

“…… Yes. Okay then. “I will.”

The light of the communication crystal ball went out.

Baron Iklan sighed and sighed.

Did you put out the urgent fire with this? Now you can safely return to your territory.

As the tension went away, my whole body felt sore and tired.

I wanted to go back to the estate right away and rest. When I wake up from a good night’s sleep, I’ll call the girls and have a good time.

I happened to stock up on some precious alcohol at the mansion. I heard that the flavor is very deep, so I thought I would take this opportunity to open one that I cherished.

When I left the temporarily prepared room, several rangers were waiting.

The Baron didn’t like that at all.

They seem like they don’t even know the basics. If you stand like this, won’t you block my path? The Baron became irritated again.

If you think about it carefully, these guys were a hindrance to him in every way.

I thought I was making things complicated by doing a useless search and all, but this time it exploded so slowly that I almost died.

When the Baron shot the ranger, he cleared his throat.

The ranger seemed to be covering his mouth, but his cheekbones were strangely raised.

“What are you doing? “Don’t get out of my way.”

“Hmm, Baron? Where are you going?”

“Of course I will return to my territory. “Are you not hearing me say, ‘Get out of the way?’

“I’m sorry, but that won’t work. Our leader wants to meet the Baron in person. In the meantime, please use that room, and let me know if you need anything.”

With those words, the rangers pushed the Baron into the room.

There was an order from the leader, so there was nothing to hesitate about. The Baron’s cries were all empty, and his resistance was laughable.

“The leader will come up from the south. “He will arrive in two days at the latest, so please make yourself comfortable.”

After killing Nezra and Decarabia, we couldn’t move right away.

Sirien had to restore her divinity, and I had to heal her wounds.

It was quite difficult to kill him because there were fragments of his armor stuck in his body.

By the time I returned with Sirien, the sun was slowly rising.

As the road to come was long, the road to go was also long.

It may feel longer because I have lost quite a bit of strength.

It was time to pass through the plain between the mountains and Edelmarion.

We saw five men in front of us.

Except for one person, they were wearing familiar clothes.

“Rangers. That person in front…… I don’t know. “He looks like a nobleman.”

“Thank goodness. “If it’s the rangers, you can rest assured.”

Soon, the rangers approached us.

The horse they were riding stopped, and all five of them got off the horse as if they had made a promise.

A man who looked like a nobleman approached.

It was a man with darker blonde hair than Dersian’s.

She is a handsome man with impressive blue eyes and tall body. She looked like I had heard of her somewhere.

I think it was quite recent, but who was it?

“I’ve been looking for it for a long time. “Are you the Saint of Hybras?”

“Yes, that’s true, but…… “You found it?”

“Of course. I don’t know how desperately I searched for it. We finally came here after asking for the rangers’ cooperation. “It really was a waste of time.”

The blond man smiled kindly.

Only then did I remember the rumors I had recently heard.

The story of Lord Revan was quite an uproar in Ethelmarion.

The man perfectly matched the characteristics I had heard of Lord Revan.

But the Sword Master found me at this time?

Is this the miraculous sword master who is said to have stayed away from home for a long time and focused only on training?

A sense of anxiety began to creep in.

“Why did you come looking for me?”

“Aren’t these people who will soon become heroes? “You should at least see the face in person.”

Sirien shouted before his hand went down to his waist.

“Razen!”

Flash of light.

The swift sword swung sharply.

All the rangers were killed in a single sword strike, and the horses ran wild in fright.

The dazzling sword strike was aimed directly at my neck, but I somehow succeeded in blocking it.

If you couldn’t stop it, you would definitely die.

“I didn’t know you would stop me. “It was definitely loaded with sword energy, right?”

“Because you are not the only sword master in this world.”

“Oh my. I haven’t heard that much. Still, nothing will change.”

Pure white sword energy rushed in like a storm.

Without even having time to take out the great sword, I barely kept up with the speed with my father’s sword.

Shallow but fast. I could see it, but my body didn’t respond well.

“If you two arrive at the island like this, there will be more than one person in trouble. “You must die here.”
