025. Troll (2)

There was no time to think. The torch had already left his hand, and he was only able to avoid the iron bars with his senses. There was nowhere to touch with his feet as he backed away. Wasn’t it just a moment ago that the floor was normal? He didn’t have time to wonder. Of course, below was darkness where he couldn’t see anything. If he fell into this endless darkness, he would surely die. Icarone, who was feeling anxious, stretched out his hand and touched the wall.

-Tadadadadak!

The pain felt on his hand against the wall was already tremendous, but he didn’t think about slowing down. Fortunately, this space wasn’t that big? Icarone kicked the wall with both feet, pulling his hand away, where his nails were already falling off and bleeding.

-Pfft!

Naturally, my body hit the opposite wall and a dull sound rang out. At the same time as I hit the wall, I pushed it away with my hand.

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

I hit the walls with my whole body, and my speed quickly decreased, but my body was getting completely torn up. This is truly an unbelievable method. I was doing it almost unconsciously, but it was an absolutely impossible method with my physical ability when I was low on level. When I thought that I might stop completely if I just a little bit more, I suddenly had nowhere to put my body.

-Koosh!

“Ugh.”

The tremendous shock was transmitted through my whole body. I couldn’t breathe properly and couldn’t breathe properly.

“Ugh…… Ugh…….”

I can’t even imagine how deep I fell. My body couldn’t move, and my reason slowly figured out the situation. I felt like I fell for over 2 seconds from where I couldn’t step, so I fell about 10 meters with acceleration, but it was amazing that I didn’t die or lose consciousness. When I had my physical evaluation, my mental strength was particularly high, so I think that might be why.

I couldn’t move a finger right now, so if even a single goblin had appeared, I would have died without a fight, but luck is on my side, and so far, nothing has appeared.

“Ugh.”

The body stiffened for a moment due to the great impact, but there was nothing broken. After a long time, I got up and looked around. As expected, my eyes adjusted to the darkness, but I couldn’t see anything. The luminescence that had been there for a long time was gone. Icarone took out the spare torch and flint that he had stored in the subspace. And he struck the flint to light it.

-widely!

“Kahah…….”

‘hmm?!’

Icarone felt alarmed by the sound that sounded like a snake’s hissing, and cautiously struck the flint again.

-Knock!

“Kyaaaaah!”

‘Huh!’

In the flash of flint, I could see it. It was definitely a person. A skinny man with exposed ribs, holding only a sword. And I felt him running toward me, shouting as if he had seen Icarone. Although I couldn’t see it, I could hear the footsteps approaching, getting closer and closer at a considerable speed.

Icarone threw down the flint and lifted Ray straight over his head.

-visor!

A force so strong that your hand will go numb with a single strike, and a speed comparable to a werewolf. A strength that is incomparable to a troll. He must be a higher level than you. The moment the swords clashed, the light that appeared showed his next move. He’s going to cut the side!

-Chaeng! Chaeng!

A man of unknown identity who rushed forward without giving me a chance to say anything. There was a limit to predicting the opponent’s movements with friction light, so I soon gave him a move.

‘Sigh.’

Icarone, who had cut his thigh quite long, rolled around and pulled his body back. Then, the sound of a sword cutting through the wind was heard a couple of times, and he stopped.

“Kaaa…….”

It is a sound too creepy to be a human being. The murderous intent in the attack, he is trying to kill himself. It doesn’t matter if he is a human or something else. If he can’t kill, he will die. There is no time to consider the penalty for being a murderer. And seeing him act like this, there is a high probability that he is a murderer, even though I haven’t seen his name yet.

-Whew, Whew.

I felt him swinging his sword here and there, as if he was looking for me. I opened my five senses and concentrated as much as I could to observe where he was and what he was doing. Then, at the timing of his swing, I swung my ray at his ankle from behind.

-visor!

‘Block it?’

There was no need to be surprised. The sound of a sword cutting through the air was heard. Icarone rolled back without clashing their swords.

-Swoosh swoosh!

The sharp sound of cutting through the air is heard again.

“Kyaaaaah!”

He let out that creepy sound nervously, as if he didn’t like being let go again. This time, he didn’t wait and swung his sword right where he thought he was.

“Kyaha!”

This time, he didn’t strike with his sword, but moved his body to dodge his attack. However, although his movements were quick, he clearly felt something being cut by the tip of his sword. Icarone, who had gained confidence, closed his eyes and attacked again. Since he couldn’t see anything anyway, he wanted to focus a little more on other senses rather than sight.

As expected, he had been here for a long time, so he skillfully withstood his attacks even in the darkness. As the battle continued, small wounds appeared here and there on his body. However, the only wound that had a direct effect on the battle was the one on his thigh that he had allowed at first. Icarone quickly adapted to the battle by maximizing all his senses with high concentration.

I was so thankful that I could block his sword to this extent. Of course, his ability was superior, but it wasn’t overwhelming… … In the past, I would have died in one move, but now I had met an opponent who I could block with difficulty.

However, fighting like this, relying only on your senses, quickly exhausts your physical and mental strength. I felt my hands and feet gradually losing their sense of touch, and I pulled myself together.

‘Get through!’

Sometimes, when I was defending my sword, if I let go a little, the attack would come a little late. After repeating this several times, I was confident enough to let go of my sword and quickly counterattack. At that moment, my sixth sense, which could be called a foresight, kicked in, and I pointed to a dark place where I couldn’t see anything and signaled for him to attack. Does this ability work even in places I can’t see? Rather than being impressed, I decided to trust that ability first.

Without even thinking about it, he just stabbed Ray deep in the stomach.

-Phew!

“Kekeke!”

The attack went in well. Icarone attacked again without giving him a moment to breathe.

-Cheek! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Even in the midst of all that, he blocked it several times and eventually allowed all attacks. Since I couldn’t confirm it with my eyes, I just swung the ray with all my strength at the place I felt was that person.

“Hoo, hoo…….”

A slightly sour smell of blood rose up. He couldn’t hear any sound other than his own breathing. Still, just in case, he had to make sure he was dead. He dragged his heavy body as if he would collapse at any moment and groped along the floor. He caught something in his hand that he thought was him.

Even though Icarone had seriously cut him so hard that his hands were stained with his blood, he ignored it and continued to grope upwards. Then, when he felt the part that seemed to be his neck, he lifted Ray up without hesitation and stabbed him in.

-Phew.

“K…….”

It was a sound that did not feel like the sound of a living being, but rather a sound that did not have any vitality, as if some part of the vocal cords had been touched. Only then did Icarone let out a sigh of relief and collapse on the floor.

“Phew~.”

What is this guy? Is he crazy? He doesn’t seem to be in his right mind. Icarone, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, felt his body getting weaker and began to fumble for the flint and torch he had thrown on the ground. There was no guarantee that there was only one crazy guy here, so he was trying to secure safety as much as possible and rest.

-Knock knock knock knock~.

The torch, the only light in the complete darkness, seemed twice as bright as usual. Icarone immediately recognized his name.

“devil.”

First, I was relieved to see that it was a red name and examined its body. It certainly had a human-like form, but its entire body was dark blue, and from its face to its shoulders, there were scale-like things that stood out here and there. And its wide-open eyes were filled with pitch-black without any distinction between the whites of the eyes, creating a grotesque feeling.

Icarone took hold of the sword he held tightly even after death, one by one, and picked it up. It looked pretty good, and he felt the sword he had taken from the 7th Platoon member when he fought this demon earlier shaking slightly. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed cracked. Without any regrets, he discarded that sword and picked up the demon’s sword.

At that moment, a sound that made Icarone doubt his ears was heard.

-Drumroll, drumroll, drumroll!

“Kekeke!”

“Kyaaahhh~!”

“Khaak!”

When I heard the sound, it was definitely the demon I had just caught. It wasn’t just a few. It was the sound of footsteps that seemed to be dozens or hundreds. Icarone quickly threw the torch forward without even having time to turn it off at the sound of it approaching. Then he ran to the very end of the cave where he had fallen and crouched down.

“Kyahak!”

“Kyahaaaaak…….”

Dozens of evil spirits swarmed the torch within seconds of being thrown. They had various weapons. From long spears and axes to maces, bows, and strange chains. They rushed at the torch fiercely, but when they saw that it was not a living thing, they stomped on it nervously to put out the fire. It seemed like they didn’t like fire.

Complete darkness came again. Judging by the fact that the sound of footsteps was barely audible, they seemed to have come here and stopped. No matter how hard they threw, the distance between Icarone and them was only about 20 meters. If they tried to climb up, the demons would rush in and be torn to pieces in an instant at the sound.

It would be suicide to fight them in my current state, and I don’t want to starve to death without eating when there is plenty of food in the subspace. What if my body recovers? Even then, I can only fight one.

But… … How do they attack when they can only find their opponents by sight and hearing? The best situation would be for them to fight each other in a melee. However, if you look at them now, they can recognize each other… … . Still, one thing that is clear is that the only way to find yourself is through sound and sight.

Icarone imagined a fight with demons in his head. It was an image training that he often did when he took on a request. His image training was quite specific, so if the information was clear, the margin of error was small. Ten minutes… … twenty minutes, he lay there and repeated the image training to recover his body. It felt like two hours had passed. He couldn’t delay any longer. Now, instead of recovering, he was losing energy.

Icarone stood up, holding Ray in one hand and the Demon Sword in the other.

‘Enough… … No, I will definitely survive.’
