Episode 74 – Ghosts of the past, find rest
#One
It was an everyday story for other knights.
Boring mountain paths, tinkling nobles, the occasional battle to relieve stress… … .
Lucas also experienced something like that when he was an apprentice engineer.
A time when you always had to walk at a brisk pace to keep up with the speed of a leisurely walking horse.
At that time, if there was even a scratch on your precious weapon or luggage, you were beaten to the point that you didn’t want to walk.
It was a mission that left you confused as to whether you were a driver, a porter, or even someone to vent your anger on.
I met a boy there.
An apprentice knight and a young mercenary, a completely unsuitable combination of a dead horse.
This was a somewhat special story for the driver, starting from there.
“Lucas! Wake!”
“… … .”
“That guy, the way he uses a sword is unusual! “You stop it!”
“Sure.”
Did you say it was a memory arm?
Those were exquisite words.
Thanks to you, I remembered it.
A world that he had protected countless times.
The comrades who fought together, and even the way they fought.
“Müller.”
[Uuuuuuu-!]
A behavior that is unrecognizable.
Instead of normal eyes, nose and mouth, the face changed to look like it was covered in ash.
Scattering embers and ashes of death.
The voice had changed strangely, but one thing was the same.
‘I know your swordsmanship best.’
Kwaaang-!
I raised my sword and blocked it.
The strength and speed increased tremendously, but the sword’s trajectory remained the same.
A swordsmanship that thoroughly fools the opponent like a mercenary.
It was a survival type of swordsmanship between an ignorant and honest knight and a mercenary Naburangi who had to deal with monsters and the undead.
The two were always bickering but often crossed swords.
If there was something you got stuck on, he would give you some advice.
Lucas’s swordsmanship was particularly good at piercing the loopholes of others, probably due to the influence of his colleagues.
[Woooooo!]
It was easy to block the numerous sword attacks.
I remember you, but you don’t.
Lucas swallowed back the feeling that his heart was about to break and swung his sword.
The golden auror pierced the enemy’s gap.
Black ash flew.
My only weakness is that I still haven’t overcome it.
Lucas was lost in memories for a moment and was unable to properly look at his enemy.
That was a huge defeat.
[Ugh-!]
Something hot pierced my abdomen.
I could tell without even looking that it was the enemy’s sword.
“Lucas ugh-!”
“Ugh… … .”
Fortunately, it was not a fatal injury.
Perhaps because it is a trained body, it instinctively twists its body to survive.
Lucas’ body floated away with a heavy impact.
Perhaps because he thought he was going to die, he seemed to no longer be chasing Lucas.
“Hey, Gwae, are you okay?”
Blood flowed out steadily.
The person who came to the fallen Lucas was a fox beast with tears in his eyes.
I burst out laughing.
“It’s no big deal.”
“It’s no big deal! “Your face is white!”
“… … “You have no shame.”
The greatest virtue of a weapon bearer is not to let down one’s guard.
Are you letting your guard down in a battlefield where you don’t know when and where you might be hit and killed?
That’s something only people who don’t want to live do.
I emphasized it like a teacher, but I can’t believe I ended up like this… … .
“That’s it! Eat this and spray it! hurry!”
“Ugh… … .”
Cheeeeeek-!
When the potion touched the wound, terrible pain came.
A pain that makes you feel sober.
Miho said as she awkwardly fed him a potion bottle.
“Where are you looking? “Your colleagues are here.”
“… … .”
“I wish the past could change, but… … “Isn’t that something even God can’t do?”
Changing the past.
How great it would be if it happened as quickly as it says.
Actually, Lucas knew it too.
I thought I had somewhat let go of my regrets, but looking at my old colleagues, it seems that wasn’t the case.
“Is that your friend?”
“okay. “It was an old colleague.”
“It must be heartbreaking. But what can I do?”
“okay. “What should I do?”
Lucas stood up using his sword, which he had not lost despite the uproar, as a cane.
Eyasu was blocking a monster that could no longer be called a friend.
She is also in a situation where she is clearly pushing forward based on her excellent swordsmanship.
Still, I could see that my posture was about to break down, as if I was losing strength.
“Miho.”
“Yes?”
“Fox beads, please do everything to me.”
Lucas looked at the armor that had a hole in it for a moment.
Honestly, I didn’t know if it was because I felt sorry.
You are suffering so much, but I am alive and moving just fine.
Even though it moves under various restrictions, it is alive anyway.
It is correct to send it.
Whether this moment is real or not, the emotions you feel are real.
Phew!
With one deep breath, an ecstatic power filled me.
When I turned my eyes to look at the Master, I saw that he was looking at me with worried eyes.
“I am okay. master.”
There was no answer.
I just nodded.
Hwanung was always like that.
A supporter who always watches silently from behind and comforts their pain.
In addition, he was also someone who worked hard for his growth.
“Ghosts of the past, find rest.”
He muttered as if making a promise and emitted a golden aura.
#2
The remnants run away screaming.
Eyasu barely blocked the sword.
It’s not because of lack of skill, but because of lack of strength and endurance.
His swordsmanship resembled that of a warrior.
A sword for dealing with people.
It was armed with a snake-like technique that slithered through heavy armor.
Maybe that’s why Eyasu felt even more familiar.
‘I still lack a lot of strength.’
The people I had dealt with so far were nothing more than small children.
From now on, we will have to deal with stronger enemies.
To do that, we definitely had to fill in the gaps.
‘How can you walk a great path if you can’t even stop a monster like this?’
I gritted my teeth and swung the sword, but I still lacked absolute strength.
For Musa, it was a hopeless situation.
How can I fill in the missing parts?
The moment my worries deepened, Hwanwoong gave me an order.
“Eyasu! “Stand back and support the other side!”
“yes!”
I responded reflexively, but why?
Curiosity soon turned into confidence.
Perhaps it was because he was careless, but Lucas, who had allowed the unexpected blow, was resurrected.
“I caused you trouble. “Lord Eyasu.”
“You have to tie a knot.”
“Thank you.”
Lucas appears wearing three fox beads.
His aurors shone more brilliantly and powerfully than before.
Eyasu stepped back with regret.
Lucas was definitely superior in terms of endurance.
‘Someday I too… … .’
She put her regrets aside and helped another colleague.
The remnants of her sword skills passed by like a storm and were swept away helplessly.
Like a cold wind blowing over a world where everything has become ashes.
[Uuuuuu-!]
Lucas, who was wearing three fox beads, struggled.
Müller.
They said they would live a good life, but this is what happened in the end.
Lucas’ eyes calmed down.
Kwaaang-!
Like a cunning snake, it targeted the weak spot and blocked the incoming sword.
Immediately, the bodies are brought close together and the transition to sword wrestling begins.
He pushed the remains with his body, which was full of aura.
This is considered Mueller’s biggest weakness.
The point is that it is weak in hand-to-hand combat at close range.
It wasn’t really revealed until I was in a situation like that in real life, but it was a fact that was shared among my colleagues.
I always used to wrestle to overcome that weakness.
Even in times of difficulty, there were always times to remember.
Now, I could only see those scenes in my dreams.
Chewing on the memories, Lucas silently swung his sword.
Knowing all of the opponent’s techniques was a sure-win card.
[Kuok!?]
A neat round of piggybacking!
It was a perfect movement, breaking the center of gravity by weaving with the sword.
Suddenly, he stepped on his neck with his foot and grabbed the sword with both hands.
I won’t let down my guard anymore.
Quad deuk!
The sensation was clearer than ever.
The final struggle of a close friend and legendary mercenary.
The feeling of being suffocated was very dirty and uncomfortable.
[Cruk, ruk… … .]
A monster that cannot speak or express emotions.
The rain had stopped before we knew it, but small water droplets fell on the fallen monster.
I could hear Lucas’ voice trembling from the tip of the twisting sword.
“Müller, find rest.”
[…] … .]
As if he understood what I said, the ashes that had formed his solid body scattered.
Ironically, Müller outlived him.
Although it may have been just a few minutes.
He was alive even at the moment he closed his eyes.
Lucas stood up in a daze and closed his eyes.
The flying ashes scattered like his lingering regrets that he had shaken off.
“Whoa… … .”
If it was an enemy you didn’t know about, it would have been terrible.
He had incredible mana and strength.
It was a shame because I delved so tenaciously into the technical aspects. If I had been a little late, I would have been stabbed again.
“Thank you for your hard work, Lucas.”
“thank you. master.”
Before he knew it, Hwanwoong came over and tapped him on the shoulder.
When I looked around, I saw my colleagues fighting just as hard as before.
In particular, Eyasu and Gina were showing outstanding performances.
“Just look ahead. “It may sound cruel, but that’s what living people have to do.”
“All right. “Today I have a reason to look forward.”
“I have to take revenge, right?”
“certainly… … .”
Hwanwoong looked at Lucas as he made his promise and smiled slightly.
I was surprised at first.
I avoided the counter-summoning, but it was a sure hit.
If Miho hadn’t acted quickly, he probably would have been unable to fight.
It was a crisis that led to Lucas’ mental awakening.
There is no regression, possession, or return.
Just look ahead and move forward.
If you did something wrong, you have to correct it and move on.
At least Hwanwoong thought so.
[The remnants of destruction have been defeated.]
[The legitimate attack failed due to the intervention of an outsider.]
[Additional compensation will be paid.]
A message from the tower was heard, and Hwanwoong was able to smile.
If you suffered something unfair and overcame it with confidence, shouldn’t you receive compensation?
Top was very accurate in his work and performance.
[An additional 10 advanced Lux will be provided.]
[Skill Book: The sword skills left by the last mercenary will be provided.]
Skill book.
It is a very important item as there are some things that cannot be obtained even if you pay money.
Of course, I had no intention of selling this skill book.
Investing in yourself means making more money.
Hwanwoong knew that fact accurately.
‘by the way… … What is the identity of that little boy? And why do you keep sending only dishonest people?’
If he had been in a position to interfere, he would have sent a very powerful enemy.
They must have sent an enemy so strong that it completely cut them off.
But seeing as that didn’t happen, is there something going on?
‘I don’t know. For now, let’s be satisfied with winning.’
Perhaps because we caught a lot of undead, the progress rose to a whopping 2,400, adding to our sense of satisfaction.
For now, I guess I’ll just have to play around with Lucas and Eyasu.
Hwanwoong looked at those enjoying the joy of victory and returned to reality.
[Number 93! Please help me!]
However, there was a strange call.
