035. Runaway

“Bern…….”

If someone died in front of his own mansion, it was obvious who the body was. The mansion had already been reduced to ashes and completely collapsed. His hair had turned white.

“Eww! Herenia!”

It was a familiar voice. He was one of the members of the 10-man unit who arrived late. He was sobbing while holding a woman’s head. The body was nowhere to be seen. Starting from that, screams erupted from all over the place. They were all the voices of the 10-man unit. Their family, their beloved woman, their best friend had turned into a cold corpse without them knowing it.

Icarone carefully placed Bern’s body down and climbed on top of Leon. The appraiser said that Gudongi had the transcendent power of ‘tracking’, so it would not have lost its owner. The reason why he was not coming to find him now was obvious. Those who killed people so mercilessly would not have caught a mere animal.

Icarone spurred Leon on. No one noticed him leaving. They were all too engrossed in their own sorrow to pay attention to Icarone. Icarone followed the footsteps and came out through the south gate. It was easy to follow the footsteps of what seemed to be hundreds or thousands of people, not just one or two.

It didn’t matter who they were, how many there were, or how strong they were. Right now, Icarone’s reason was incapable of doing calculations.

‘Slow.’

Icarone leaped forward, stepping on Leon’s saddle. His physical ability, which was soon approaching Lv. 50, was twice as fast as Leon’s famous horse when running at full speed. He didn’t think about stamina management after encountering an enemy. He just wanted to find the enemy quickly.

-Clang clang clang clang!

A sound of the earth trembling was heard. Icarone followed the footsteps, speeding up. It had not even been half a day since he left Castle Byren. As he crossed the hill, Icarone saw countless soldiers. A huge number of soldiers, enough to fill this vast plain. He had never seen so many people in his life, so he could not even guess how many there were. But that did not stop his steps.

Icarone’s lips slowly opened as he approached them.

“Are you the ones who attacked Castle Byren?”

“Huh? What did you say?”

The soldier at the rear turned around and asked at Icarone’s voice. He thought he had misheard because he had never imagined that someone would appear behind him and ask such a question.

“Byren Castle, is it you who attacked it?”

When I said it again, only then did the soldier answer, lifting his index finger and poking one of his ears.

“Ah, there? Wow~ I didn’t know there were so many beauties in Byren Castle. It really was a great place…….”

-Ouch.

The soldier who was answering in a slurred manner was unable to finish his sentence. Ray, who had been pulled out without knowing when, blew his head off.

“Enemy, enemy!”

The soldier next to him shouted urgently, noticing that he was strong with just one swing. Icarone lowered his head and spoke in a low growl.

“You will all die here today.”

Icarone’s new form soared into the midst of soldiers brandishing their icy blades.

* * *

A cold-looking man with long dark blue hair fluttering and shining silver-white plate armor, he is the Duke of Diantos, the undisputed leader of the Kingdom of Claude. The Duke is riding his horse with a satisfied expression. The days of oppression from above and below that he has endured for over a hundred years are finally breaking.

A hundred years ago, seven small kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Riolu, formed an alliance and proposed an alliance to the Kingdom of Creweed, but the Kingdom of Creweed, which had the strongest national power at the time, flatly refused. Even if the seven kingdoms were united, they were still small kingdoms, and they thought that they could not be threatened unless they were united as one.

However, the Rio Union rather accumulated national power more quickly and strongly in the name of fair competition, and reached a level that the Crewood Kingdom could not handle. However, the Rio Union did not attack the Crewood Kingdom. This was because the Roga Empire, which boasted the world’s greatest national power, was standing right above it. So they simply chose to continue to receive a small amount of tribute under the pretext of not attacking.

It was a wise choice at the time.

However, as time passed, the Crewood Kingdom, which had been surviving by paying tribute to the Roga Empire above and the Riore Alliance below, was in a situation where it was difficult to maintain itself as a kingdom any longer.

So they resorted to extreme measures after a hundred years.

One of the nearby allied nations, the Kingdom of Artilo, was taken over to surprise the Riore Allied Nations. If they could completely take over just one kingdom before the Allied Nations’ support arrived, they would have national power on par with theirs, and things would be completely different from before. And the success of that plan is now right around the corner. Since they have taken over the castle of Byren, guarded by the magician Ierie, the biggest headache for the Kingdom of Mudelli, their victory is a foregone conclusion.

At that moment, a knight rushed towards Duke Dianthus.

“Your Majesty, it is a surprise attack by the enemy!”

“What? A surprise attack? There’s no time or manpower for that… And on a plain like this? How many men do you have?”

The knight hesitated a moment at Diantos’ words, then answered quietly.

“That is…… one person.”

The knight flinched, expecting a harsh reprimand. Whatever the reason, he had failed to deal with just one person and had to report it to the Duke. However, the Duke’s voice that he heard next was surprisingly calm.

“One person… how interesting. Send the Knights of Irelia. Oh, I’ll go too.”

“Oh, yes, I understand!”

The knight in front of you is not someone who can’t handle a random guy and reports to him. In the first place, there is no one in the position to report directly to him. It is clear that he is a capable person who needs the Knights of Irel, the best armed force group in the military right now.

‘There’s another guy like that in Mudellie besides Raven… … .’

Dianthus’ eyes were filled with curiosity.

* * *

There was not an inch of mercy in his sword.

The painful expressions of the soldiers falling, blood spraying, only fueled Icarone’s anger. He continued to cut and cut, only moving forward.

It doesn’t matter if you’re surrounded.

He had already made up his mind to kill the commanders of those who were somewhere in front of this line and fight until he too collapsed from exhaustion. His sword, which did not fear death, was reckless and powerful. He cut through the soldiers at incredible speed as if there was no one in front of him.

A strange phenomenon occurred in which even those who could not reach the tip of the sword were mercilessly cut down. However, Icarone, who was swinging the sword, did not notice this phenomenon. At that moment, only one thought existed in Icarone’s mind: ‘to kill.’

Dianthus, who had come to see the only man who had lightly attacked his army with Marquis Irel, the first swordsman of the Kingdom of Claude, suddenly stopped walking. Marquis Irel, who had been following behind, also just stared at the scene unfolding before his eyes without saying a word.

“ah…….”

“That guy….”

The 50,000-strong army is a huge number, enough to be called the power of the Kingdom of Cloud. The line is so long that you can’t see the end. However, from the end to the middle, a bloody path is created, as if a red line has been drawn all the way.

This vast plain is dyed red because of that one man. No matter how much I looked around, there seemed to be no collaborators. No, if there were collaborators, they would not have broken through to the center so ignorantly.

“Is that… a human?”

The results before his eyes and his current appearance were definitely a situation where it was difficult to see him as a human. He was covered in blood all over his body, so it was impossible to tell what he looked like, and his red eyes that flashed open showed nothing but murder. He had already passed the limit of his physical strength, so he was lying there helpless with his two swords hanging limply on the floor, but no one could easily attack him.

At that moment, a soldier lost the bow he had been pulling, unable to overcome the murderous aura emanating from his body.

“Ugh……ugh!”

-Sweep!

As the arrow left the bow, his body moved. The flying arrowhead hit the dark surface of the sword exactly and bounced off without any strength. Only then did the soldier realize that the arrow had been shot, and he saw the tip of the sword, soaked in blood, grow larger in the blink of an eye as if it had teleported.

-puck!

The red blade pierced the back of the soldier’s neck with a light thrust. The man who roughly pulled out the sword lowered his head again as if nothing had happened and took a deep breath. It seemed as if there was an automatic reflex function.

Dianthus felt an inexplicable thrill run through his body at his actions. Unable to hide his excitement, he ordered Irelia.

“Marquis Irel! You must capture the author by any means necessary!”

“Capture… you mean?”

Irel questioned the Duke’s order and asked back. She had already suffered countless casualties from that unidentified man, and she had no idea how much more she would have to sacrifice to kill him. But if it was to capture him alive, it might be impossible even if she personally stepped forward.

But Dianthus showed no sign of backing down.

“Yes! Capture him! He is the key to rebuilding our new Kingdom of Cloud! Capture him without fail!”

“Hmm…… Okay, I understand.”

There is no need to ask twice. He has the best wisdom in the Crowd, the inaction that is equal to his own, and the insight to read the future. If he gives a command that requires great sacrifice, there must be a reason for it. Since he is the only vessel that can take care of him, he follows his orders.

Irel shouted, raising high into the sky her sword Isperia, made from adamantium, the ore of the gods, bestowed by the king himself.

“Knights of Irel! Surround the enemy! The goal is… capture!”

“Yes, Lord!”

The life-threatening capture operation began with the loud voice of the Knights resonating across the plains.

* * *

I don’t know how much time has passed or how many times I’ve cut down. I just cut down all the beings that came into my hands. At some point, the soldiers stopped rushing at me. My blood vessels were all burst and my vision was blurry. However, my senses were becoming clearer. My physical strength had long since passed its limit, and my entire body was screaming like a scream. My legs were shaking as if they would collapse at any moment.

When someone attacks, the body reacts before the head, and after cutting down, the pain of the muscles being torn comes. I have killed countless people in my life, but there is still no end to the soldiers. As Icarone’s body collapsed, he put more strength into the hand holding the sword.

‘I’ll take at least one more.’

It was hard to even stand. If I wanted to kill one more person, I had to leave everything to my reflexes that moved without me knowing. But then, a different energy filled the room. Through my hazy vision, I could see people wearing silver-white armor surrounding me.

‘Now… … is this the real guy coming forward?’

Amidst the mixture of joy, despair, and anger, a low, hard voice was heard.

“I am Irel, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Creed! If you surrender and lay down your weapons, I will spare your life!”
