152 – Blacksmith at the Edge (7)

If I keep going like this, I will really die!

Emeric gathered the Aurors to the end and exploded, widening the distance between him and Leonard.

“Leonard. That’s amazing. In just a few years…”

I tried to take time by deliberately trying to converse, but Leonard didn’t wait and quickly narrowed in.

Embarrassed, Emeric swung his treasured sword and shouted, blocking Nightrend.

“People are talking!”

“Wasn’t it you who suggested we talk with our swords, not our tongues?”

Emeric, who had been moving backwards, felt hot energy behind his back and dodged to the side.

They thought that Leonard, who was running with great momentum, would fall into the furnace.

However, Leonard blinked with black smoke rising and appeared from the direction Emeric avoided.

Damn it.

“Emeric. There is a way to put back the water that has already been spilled.”

Continuing the attack, Leonard opened his mouth.

“You can wipe the water with a sponge and squeeze it back into the cup. It may not be able to completely contain it, but you can still get it back.”

“What does that mean!”

“You’re not stupid, so if you think about it carefully, you’ll understand why I said this.”

Thought Emeric, taking the age trend falling on his head.

I just can’t win.

You can tell at this point.

I can never beat Leonard.

In every way, even in swordsmanship.

Leonard has already become a swordsman that surpasses me.

Foolish guy.

To think of fighting a monster like that.

You make the mistake of thinking that fighting is better than apologizing.

Let’s apologize now.

Let’s throw away the knife and lie down flat.

Leonard would definitely forgive me.

If it’s Leonard’s personality that I’ve seen while working with the punitive force over the past few years, I can definitely be forgiven!

However, instead of apologizing, Emeric put his hand into his bosom

As soon as he had the scroll of return at his fingertips, he tore it with all his might.

At that moment, Leonard seemed to be being sucked into the distance, and Emeric was forced to return to the headquarters of the Knights.

* * * * *

When Emeric suddenly disappeared, Nightrend accidentally hit the floor.

It popped out again.

I took the Nightrend and sighed.

Such a cowardly child.

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

Lucene said.

“Still, do you think the Knight Commander is the Knight Commander? This is the first time I’ve seen a swordsman move like that.”

“He’s definitely got one skill. But the problem is that he’s too timid and strangely weak.”

“At that level, it would have been enough to just pick you up and catch whatever falls, rather than stabbing you in the back.”

“I don’t know. What do we know about the transactions and conversations between high-ranking people? Let’s go back now.”

Nightrend’s seal has been strengthened and Thundermite has been repaired, so the work here is done.

“Good-bye, Leonard. Come see me again later.”

Sunehilung said goodbye with a regretful expression.

“Well, if we make the foreign trail more accessible, he might come often.”

“Huh. That’s a bit troublesome.”

“Anyway, thank you, uncle. I’ll leave.”

“Hello, Mr. Giant.”

I spoke to Lucene as she took out the return scroll from her bag.

“Since we’re here, let’s take a look around.”

“Oh, really? I’m good.”

After leaving the blacksmith shop, we stood for a moment and looked around.

Broad daylight.

A beautiful sight with snow-capped peaks shining endless like mirrors in the sunlight.

“Hey. Is there a place with a nice view nearby?”

The gatekeeper slowly raised his hand and pointed to a very high peak behind the blacksmith shop.

“Khuekhbal Peak. The highest in the area.”

“Thank you. Can I leave my bag here for a moment?”

“It will work.”

I took off my bag next to the gatekeeper and headed around the blacksmith shop to the peak.

“What a strange name.”

“They’re talking about the giants. Let’s go quickly. The sun sets quickly here.”

“Really? Then leave it to me.”

Lucene started running forward, pulling me by the waist.

“Ouch!”

Lucene climbed at an incredible speed, stepping on the rocks exposed above the snow like stepping stones.

The feeling of turning over while jumping tens of meters at once.

When I saw the upside-down land receding rapidly, I got dizzy and went crazy.

It would be better to faint for a while until we get to the top.

As soon as I thought that, Lucene suddenly stopped.

“They’re all here.”

“Already… ?”

When I came down from Lucene’s side and stood up, a sea of ​​​​​​​​snowy mountains spread out beneath my feet.

The snow-white peaks rising like sharp swords piercing the sky sparkle like platinum sparks wriggling under the sun, and the blue sky flows gracefully in harmony with the snow-covered peaks like the score of a heavenly symphony.

In the deep canyon shadowed between the mountain ranges, the clear river water reflects the light of the sun and flows down like a soft silver ribbon. It was like a rough poem written by an earth poet.

I didn’t have the confidence to describe the scenery I was seeing to others in any way, such as grandeur or beauty.

“It’s huge, it’s huge.”

Lucene put her hand on his waist and smiled.

“I thought I had traveled all over the continent, but I still have a long way to go.”

“Maybe what you circled around wasn’t the entire continent.”

“What do you mean? I don’t think that’s what it means.”

“There are many places we are not yet allowed to go to.”

Lucene looked at me with a questioning expression.

Since this is what happened, I decided to tell Lucene everything.

About what kind of place this world is, and what kind of beings Lucene and I are.

“This world is not real.”

* * * * *

Lucene, who heard the whole story, was speechless.

This world is a game world.

A game is a form of entertainment similar to chess.

I was the player and Lucene was my chess piece.

Then, at some point, I became a chess piece myself and met Lucene.

After killing the Great Evil, a new world will open.

The resurrection of the Great Evil, and the opening of places that have not been accessible before.

Even though I say it myself, I feel like a crazy person. How will Lucene take it?

It’s probably a huge shock.

However, I could not know exactly what Lucene was thinking.

He just looked at the snow-white horizon with his usual relaxed expression and a faint smile.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s all true.”

“I trust you, Leonard.”

Lucene opened her mouth.

“No matter what you say, I believe it even if everyone in the world doesn’t believe you.”

“Thank you.”

Luce smiled softly and stroked my cheek with his fingers.”So, to sum it up, it won’t be long before the world turns upside down again, right?”

“Well, it might not be to the point of being described as a bitch.”

Lucene nodded.

“Well, he’s already killed the Great Devil once, so if you and I join forces, we won’t be able to kill him a second time. Actually, you’re not thinking about it that seriously, are you?”

“That’s right. The Great Devil has been resurrected and the devils are on the run, so they bought and ran a guild to make a lot of money.”

“Then there is no problem. It would be better if it were a world where we could sufficiently respond. Only you and I know the future of this world.”

It is the future of the world that only we two know.

That sounds really good.

“Then you just have to stay like you are now, Leonard. Have fun and be happy. Right?”

“Okay.”

“Come here.”

Lucene grabbed my wrist and dragged me.

Lucene whispered as she hugged me.

“Don’t worry, Leonard. I’m here.”

“Haha. I wasn’t worried. Still, I feel reassured because you are there.”

“I will protect you just like you did.”

“Thank you.”

“Okay then.”

Lucene pushed me away slightly and licked her lips.

“Shall we have some fun here without the guild leader bothering to watch?”

“What?”

“In the highest place in the world, closest to the sky.”

“This place is a bit… Ugh?!”

Lucene tripped my ankle and climbed on top of me.

“Hehe, stay still, Constellation. I will take care of everything.”

At the top of the world… Shout Yass…

* * * * *

The gatekeeper of the blacksmith shop slowly turned his head at the strange feeling.

This is because I felt some strange, subtle vibration.

The gatekeeper’s gaze was directed to Kuhekhbal Peak.

This is the place where two humans went up earlier to enjoy the scenery.

What is happening over there?

This area is a sacred place, so monsters cannot come near.

Moreover, it is a mountain range with very solid ground that does not cause earthquakes or anything like that.

What could cause such a vibration…

The gatekeeper narrowed his eyes when he saw something.

Up there.

From the tip of the peak, the ice cap was slowly collapsing.

It was an avalanche.

It’s been a long time since I saw an avalanche.

The snow over there has repeatedly frozen and melted for tens of thousands of years, becoming so hard that it won’t collapse except under extreme circumstances.

From the tip of the peak, the fallen snow hit the blacksmith building and spread to the left and right.

Because the speed of the snowfall was so fast, some of the snow piles were pushed down to the main gate where the gatekeeper was standing.

Her men and women glided down on it.

A woman is sitting on the stomach of a man who is lying down.

At first glance, it looks like riding a sled down from an avalanche.

The lower body of both men and women was half-naked.

“Ahaha, sorry.”

The woman smiled shyly and stood up the man.

“Oh my, oh my…”

The man seemed to not have the strength to get up and was dragged by the woman’s hand.

“Then, good luck.”

The woman took her bag, which she had left at the feet of her gatekeeper, and with the man at her side her tore open her scroll of return.

The gatekeeper blinked foolishly as he looked at the place where the man and woman had disappeared.
