014. Fight (1)

At that moment, nearly forty werewolves leaped at the same time. The people’s fear grew even more as they watched them advance nearly 10 meters in a single leap.

“Damn it! I shouldn’t have come… ugh!”

“Help me! Aaak!”

“Eww!”

The werewolf’s speed was like the wind, and its claws were as sharp as swords. Those who were running around in confusion were slaughtered in an instant.

“This is stupid…… damn it!”

Brochen’s eyes were filled with regret. He thought that he had driven them to their deaths. Before he knew it, the werewolves had slaughtered all but ten people around Brochen and were gathering around that place.

Brochen, with a nervous expression on his face, spoke in a low voice as he watched the werewolves slowly circling around.

“These guys mostly use scratching attacks rather than stabbing attacks, so block them by raising your sword vertically… They’re coming!”

-Shoot- Chaeng! Chaeng

A sound that did not seem to be the sound of claws and swords clashing rang out. It was the moment when the words of the general store owner Raysha, who said that Icarone contained metal materials, came to mind. And so the werewolves’ attack began.

“Cough!”

There was no way to stop the many werewolves who were quickly passing through the people and attacking them without thinking. As time passed, the wounds on their bodies, big and small, increased, and one by one, they began to fall from fatal injuries.

It was the moment when I truly understood what it felt like to die slowly.

‘It’s just so futile… … .’

Brochen had been promoting, but the werewolves that had hit were only three or four, and they were not even critically wounded, so they were growling as if they would pounce at any moment. Now, only six people were left. Brochen, the two knights, Icarone, the bald man, and the man next to him were all there were. The bald man was covered in blood and looked like he would collapse at any moment.

At that moment, I felt the sky that had been bright in moonlight begin to darken.

“Kooooooow!”

With a deafening roar, an unidentified dark green monster appeared beyond the house. It was probably 5m, no, 6m tall, but its head was relatively small, so that its eyes, nose, and mouth were hard to see from a distance. The muscles that filled its large body seemed so strong that it could repel any sword, and in one hand, it held a tree that seemed to have been uprooted a moment ago and swung it around like a toy.

As people were dumbfounded and staring at the absolute aura that the creature was displaying, Brochen’s shrill voice rang out.

“Ogre… Now! Get out!”

As the ogre swung the tree once, the werewolves fell three or four at a time, throwing the formation into disarray. Icarone and the others, taking advantage of the miraculous opportunity, began to run at full speed, making the bloody wounds all over their bodies seem insignificant.

-Koosh!

At that moment, with a dull sound, the bald man was seen falling. His body was too damaged to overcome with mental strength. He immediately threw down his weapon and quickly crawled with both arms, shouting.

“Hey, save me! Take me with you!”

Despite his desperate cries, the man who was with him ran away without looking back. Icarone, too, had a bad relationship with him, and he had no intention of risking his life to save her.

At that moment, Brochen, who was standing next to him, stopped walking, turned around, and ran towards the man.

‘this…….’

Without Brochen, who knew a lot, even if he ran away right now, his chances of survival would be significantly reduced. In addition, the inexplicable tenacity he had felt for a short time had already left an impression on Icarone as a decent commander. Icarone had no choice but to stop walking and look at the situation again.

The werewolves that were ambushed by the ogres have come to their senses and are now evading each other and causing small wounds. There are two werewolves that have noticed that the people have left and are running towards you. You can take them on one at a time. You may be able to handle them alone, but if you stall for time, Brochen will definitely take care of them.

After finishing his calculations in a split second, Icarone walked over to Brochen, who was supporting the bald man.

“Two.”

“Can you… take one?”

Brochen, who had been looking at Icarone with a look of surprise, asked the werewolf behind him. Icarone nodded and prepared his sword.

“Let’s try it.”

“That feeling is enough!”

It was only a matter of time before they were caught up with the werewolves, who could move 10 meters in a single leap. Icarone ran towards one of them floating in the air and threw his dagger at it.

-Shoooosh, hooray!

There was a sense of anticipation, but the werewolf bounced off in vain. It seemed that its dynamic vision was as good as its movements. However, it seemed to have had an effect, as its posture was slightly disturbed in the air.

At that moment, something occurred to Icarone. An alien sense kept sending signals that it was an opportunity to inflict a fatal wound on the werewolf. There was no time to question that sense. Since it seemed possible, he went ahead and did it.

He ran to the place where he expected to land and stabbed his sword into the side. If he deflected this attack, he would be in a dangerous situation where he would be fatally wounded. He didn’t know why he suddenly felt that way, but his groundless confidence made Icarone’s hand movements even more unstoppable.

And that prediction came true.

“Keeeek!”

The sword hilt was stabbed at the speed it was flying at, and it went deep into the sword. The werewolf shuddered in pain as its upper body was pierced to the side and swung its claws at Icarone.

Icarone quickly put down his sword, as it seemed like it wouldn’t come out easily, and took out his last remaining emergency dagger.

A werewolf walked toward him, waving its arms. It seemed to be having difficulty walking, but its claws were still sharp. Without hesitation, Icarone threw a dagger at its thigh.

-Bam!

This time, the werewolf can’t ward off the dagger. Its greatest strength, speed, has been stopped, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. Its claws swing slowly and aren’t threatening. Icarone rolled forward to dodge the attack and pulled out the sword stuck in his side.

Hot, red blood gushed out like a human’s. Icarone, standing behind the werewolf, cut off its head without hesitation.

“Kuuuck!”

With the werewolf’s final words, a white light rose from Icarone’s body.

At this point, I thought I would level up soon, but I was very happy to be going up in such a bad state. It was something I felt, but every time I leveled up, my stamina would recover, even if it was just a little bit. Icarone pulled out the dagger stuck in the guy’s thigh with lighter movements and turned around.

At that moment, my eyes met with Brochen’s, who was looking surprised. It seemed like he had just finished killing the werewolf.

“You are……, for now, let’s support this interest.”

In this situation, Brochen quickly stopped asking unnecessary questions and supported him. Icarone didn’t know how to respond, but thought it was good and quickly went to support the bald man. He must have seen the battle while he was absent-minded, because he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Icarone avoided his gaze and walked forward.

How long did it take? The bald man, who was breathing heavily, turned his head and spoke with difficulty.

“Hey… You see my name? I really like that name. You, yes, Icarone… I feel like you’ll survive a long time in this world. If I die, please remember my name. I think that will make me feel better.”

Because I sensed sincerity in his calm tone of voice, I couldn’t offer any words of comfort. I just quietly hurried my steps.

Carol, the name of a man who suffered injuries that would not be at all surprising if he died right now.

* * *

The regular clash of armor ceased. When I looked up, I thought I knew why Brochen had stopped.

“Krrrr……”

A low croaking sound stirred fear. Four werewolves, having already defeated the ogre, stood blocking the way. Around them were the corpses of others who had escaped earlier, torn into dozens of pieces.

Icarone calmly lowered the hand that was supporting Carol and spoke to him.

“Just wait.”

At Icarone’s words, Carol gave him a look that seemed to be a life-wise person, as if telling him not to worry about her. I didn’t like that look at all. I raised my sword again and looked at Brochen.

“It looks like this will be my grave. You and your friend should run away quickly and ask for reinforcements. You should tell them what you saw today.”

Icarone shook his head as he watched him speak so solemnly. He has no intention of going anyway. How long can he hold out? If the werewolves are here now, the rest will arrive soon. No matter how much he runs, without Brochen, it is only a matter of time before he is caught and torn apart by those guys. For now, fighting alongside him is the best chance of survival.

Brochen’s eyes changed as he looked at Icarone, who silently took out a longsword and a dagger in each hand.

“That guy… Well, I hope his skills just now weren’t just a coincidence.”

Icarone raised his sword and ran after Brochen toward the werewolves.

Brochen was indeed a capable leader of a knight troop. He fought against werewolves whose movements were difficult to follow with the eyes, almost flying around. Icarone also found the optimal timing for his attacks and dealt with them one by one, as if to confirm that the sense of incongruity he had felt earlier was not a coincidence.

Despite his efforts, five more were added midway, and Brochen was mortally wounded. Lying there helpless, he spoke to Icarone in a breathless voice, as if his lungs had been punctured.

“I guess you’ll have to go alone……. This is the sword called ‘Ray’ that was personally bestowed upon you by the black lord, Viscount Ieri……. If you take it, it’ll prove your identity…… Knock! Kook…… Go and tell him the current situation. Werewolves don’t normally live in groups……. Lord…… Lord……”

Brochen was worried about this situation until the end, and then he died. Icarone felt a variety of emotions as he looked at him. Is it possible for someone to trust and follow him like this? What would it be like to have someone like this around? Don’t people all act only for their own benefit? Icarone tried to erase the questions that came to mind and closed his eyes.

As I stood up from my seat, taking Brochen’s sword with me, I noticed that Carol had also become cold.

When the situation I was worried about actually came, my heart became cold and calm.

Now I have to go through this on my own. The possibility of death has also increased significantly. However, since I found the black butterfly, I can never die in this world.

Ray is a good sword. Werewolf blood, which is more viscous than human blood, doesn’t stick to it, and thanks to that, it retains a sharpness that can even cut off falling hair. Icarone held Ray in his right hand and the longsword in his left, and walked briskly with a cold expression.

Thinking back, despite the distance, the werewolves had never wandered away and had found them. He figured that since they were dogs, their smell must have played a part. Icarone tore the werewolf’s corpse apart with his bare hands and smeared its blood all over his body. If he was going to be caught because of his human smell anyway, the only thing that could cover it up was the smell of the werewolf’s blood.

Icarone walked with his face completely covered in blood. Direction? He just kept running towards the opposite side of Aaron Village. Half a day by carriage, running… … It would take two or three days at most. Icarone walked briskly.

After walking for what felt like 30 minutes, the werewolf’s voice was heard, mercilessly destroying Icarone’s expectation that they would not pursue him if they were covered in blood.

“Awww~!”

A werewolf that had kindly announced its intentions and was running towards Icarone fiercely, and there were three of them. Earlier, Brochen had caught the attention of all the werewolves, so he attacked them when they were off guard, but now it was a completely different situation. Not one, but three werewolves were running towards him, looking only at him.

Calculating, it is difficult to handle two alone, so three is virtually impossible. However, even if you give up, there is only death waiting for you. You have to trust Ray, who was excluded from the calculations, and the unidentified ability to read the effective attack timing that you have been feeling since a while ago. Icarone maintained his running speed and estimated the distance from the werewolf.

‘If it’s that distance… … now!’
