041. Unexpected Encounter (2)

“Stop it.”

“yes?”

The knight questioned whether he had misheard the unexpected words. Then Freha spoke in an even louder voice.

“Stop! Don’t you know how we captured that guy? No matter how injured he is, there’s no one in Degavoli who can catch him right now! It’s only going to increase the number of casualties! Do you understand?”

“Oh, I understand.”

“If you understand, then get out!”

Freha pointed to the door and shouted, then turned around as if he didn’t want to see it. He had heard so much about how important Duke Diantos was to him. How important must he be for him to send half of the Knights of Irel, who should be at the forefront of the battlefield, for such a purpose as transport?

But he was lost. And he even had an assistant. The fame of the Duke of Dianthus, who returned after leading the war to victory, will reach the sky. His single word will shake his own position… He must be caught somehow. As he said, there is certainly no one in this city who can catch him. Those belonging to the Kingdom of Claude… However, ‘they’ who live in the darkness are different.

Freha’s eyes became cold and sank.

* * *

It was the third day since he took refuge in Reina’s general store, and Icarone’s body was recovering quickly. As his state of mind changed, his body was also full of energy. However, he still had difficulty moving. However, he could not hide here forever.

I saw Elle coming with warm milk and bread. If she originally had a lively feel, now that she had red eyes and silver hair, she had a more sensual feel. Icarone raised her upper body and said.

“I have to find the sword.”

“A sword…?”

Listening to Reina, the room was strangely quiet. If it was true to the rumors, it would be hard for Yiel to give up the Black Prince, whom he had worked so hard to capture, so easily. But what if he had predicted his current behavior? There was a high possibility that he would fall into a trap.

Elle put the wooden tray down next to the bed and continued speaking in her characteristically calm and gentle tone.

“It’s too dangerous right now. How about you go find them together in about a month when your body has recovered a bit and their guard has lowered?”

She speaks softly, looking into his eyes. Unlike before, she gives off a cold and gloomy vibe, but that makes her seem even more mysterious. She risked her life to come save him because of a previous connection. Icarone met his eyes and nodded slightly.

“Okay.”

Elle looked a bit dazed when her opinion was accepted unexpectedly all at once.

That night, while Elle and Reina were deep in sleep, the door to the underground storage room was carefully opened.

‘I can’t be indebted to her forever. I’ll just pack my gear and go find the black butterfly.’

Outside, only the dim moonlight faintly illuminated the objects. Icarone flew towards the Degapolis inner city, pulling down her black hood, the ends of which were tattered.

* * *

A black shape slowly rose above the inner walls of the Decapolis fortress.

He had no idea where they had put their coats and swords, but they probably wouldn’t have given them away or sold them to anyone, as their purpose was to persuade him. Icarone jumped at the first two patrolmen he saw.

“Huh!”

Suddenly, a shadow appeared and a patrolman turned around to see Icarone. He was startled and tried to draw his sword. But Icarone was faster than him, pulling out the handle of his sword and cutting his upper body in a long slash.

“Cough.”

The other patrolman who turned around late was immediately grabbed by the neck. Icarone asked, adding pressure to the hand holding him.

“Where is my sword?”

The patrolman’s face was as if he was in so much pain that the blood vessels in his eyes were about to burst, but he didn’t seem to understand what was being said. Icarone relaxed slightly and continued speaking.

“You guys call me the Black Prince.”

“Ugh, ugh, huff, Black Prince…….”

In an instant, the patrolman’s pupils dilated. The terrifying rumored Black Prince was grabbing his neck. But there was no way a mere soldier could know where his sword was. The patrolman answered, desperately squeezing his voice.

“I… Ugh, I don’t know.”

“I see…….”

Icarone’s eyes sank. The patrolman, who had expected death, quickly shook his head and continued speaking.

“Hey, the armory! It might be there! It’s the room at the end of the east side on the first floor!”

Icarone swung his sword without even looking at the patrolman after seeing where he pointed with his index finger. The patrolman’s headless body slowly fell to the ground. The soldiers of the kingdom who had killed Gudongi had no intention of sparing his life anyway.

He must have told the truth because his life was at stake, and in the location he had mentioned, there was a room with the words “Armors Depot 1” written on it. As expected, the security was tight because it was an armory. I could see a knight who usually didn’t go on guard duty and four heavily armed soldiers standing there with their eyes shining sharply.

Icarone flew up to the ceiling and dropped the stones he had brought with him on the floor.

-Thud, thud.

“Huh!”

“Who are you?!”

The soldiers, startled by the sound, all turned their heads to where the stone had fallen. Since the lamps were hanging here and there and the stone had fallen in a dark space, it was hard to see, so the one who appeared to be a knight opened his mouth.

“Go and come back.”

“all right!”

At the knight’s command, four soldiers slowly approached the place where the stone had fallen, thrusting their spears forward. One of them found the stone, picked it up, and said,

“What is this stone here? Who on earth…….”

The soldier who naturally raised his head could not finish his words. This was because he saw a black Icarone on the ceiling. At that moment, Icarone fell on the head of the soldier who was looking at him and twisted his neck. At the same time, it spun around him and swung the sword it had taken from the patrolman.

-Whew, whew!

In an instant, three soldiers fell, clutching their necks. It was less than three seconds. The tip of the knight’s sword trembled as he saw his inaction. He realized that he was no match for him.

At this moment, what is needed is a request for support.

“I, the enemy… ugh!”

Just before he could shout, Icarone approached him with incredible speed as if he had teleported, and struck the knight’s chin with the bottom of his palm. With a ‘thud’ sound, the knight’s neck snapped as if it was about to snap and he instantly fainted.

Icarone grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him into the first armory.

“Hmm…….”

The armory was lined with only high-level weapons, from swords to maces, spears, and crossbows. However, Guido and Ray were nowhere to be seen. Icarone approached the knight she had brought and slapped him hard on the cheek.

-Tsk!

“Keuh-euk!”

In just one room, the knight jumped up in shock. This seems to be the best way to wake up someone who has passed out. Icarone grabbed him by the collar and brought his face close to him and asked.

“Where is my sword?”

The knight who saw his face was startled and shook his head in fear.

“You, you! Don’t know! You really don’t know!”

I also found out who I am. It is unnatural to avoid eye contact. It is a lie. Icarone continued, holding the sword to his heart.

“I ask again. Where are you?”

In response to Icarone’s question, the knight raised his head and looked straight ahead as he spoke.

“You can’t get out of here anyway. You saw the first armory too easily. There’s an alarm spell set up at the entrance to the entire castle. It’s probably already completely surrounded. Letting me go is the only chance you have of surviving.”

At the knight’s words, Icarone’s five senses widened. Although there weren’t many people yet, he could feel that people were gathering as he had said. He remembered when the patrolman had mentioned the first armory a little while ago. Did he fall for his trick…? Icarone smiled coldly.

“That’s interesting.”

Icarone slowly stabbed the sword that was pointed at his heart. The knight’s face became serious as the swordsmanship that he thought were threats continued to enter. However, the overwhelming energy was shackling his body, and he could not take any action. He just stared at the swordsmanship with drool dripping down his face.

“Ugh, ugh…… Sa, Sa…….”

He opened his mouth with all his might. But Icarone’s sword slowly dug into his heart without stopping.

“Illusion is…… freedom.”

Icarone threw the corpse, sword and all, to the floor with the blade already protruding from the knight’s back, and picked up two swords from the armory.

Parrr-

‘Not good.’

He pretended to be strong to the knights, but his physical condition is still so bad that his legs tremble when he stands. Even if just one outstanding knight like him appears, he is in a state where he cannot say for sure who will win or lose.

But I have no intention of backing down.

Icarone opened the door to the armory, putting strength into the hand holding the sword.

* * *

As Icarone opened the door and came out, a commotion could be heard among the heavily armed knights and soldiers.

“Oh my, that, that author…….”

“Black, Black Prince!”

“Damn it! The Knights of Devron are here yet!”

The Knights of Devron are a representative capital defense knights recognized as the second most skilled after the Knights of Irel. They were not just a group of thieves who came to raid the armory, but they were also in a hurry to find them because they thought they might not be enough. However, Icarone was not there to wait for that gap.

“If you stand before me with a weapon… you must be prepared to die.”

Icarone, holding his sword in both hands, charged at them like a beast. The narrow corridor was too narrow to accommodate many people. It was a good place for one-on-many combat. Icarone’s sword cut them down, drawing beautiful lines as if dancing.

“Cough!”

“Kwaaak!”

“Hey, stop it!”

-Swish, swish.

There was no sound of the weapons clashing. The attacks of ordinary soldiers, not even knights, did not require mixing swords. Icarone’s sword, which struck the vital points of each person with precision, was like a death god. The number of people, less than fifty, turned into cold corpses in less than five minutes.

‘hmm?’

Standing tall among the brutally fallen corpses, Icarone felt an inexplicable sense of alienation. There was clearly a soldier who had his Adam’s apple cut off by a sword swung to restrain him in the battle just a moment ago.

Even though the tip of the sword didn’t touch… … . The result is advantageous now, but in a battle where even 1cm, 1mm units must be delicately controlled, variables that don’t enter one’s calculations are never welcome.

‘No, that’s not important.’

Icarone shook his head vigorously.

If there is no problem that can be solved right away, it is right to focus on reality. His footsteps, covered in blood like a battle on the plains, were not leisurely.

As time goes by, stronger ones will come rushing in. However, his stamina was already at its lowest. After cutting down the last one, Icarone went up to this floor right away. It was better to go up high to escape through the window.

It was when I came up the narrow stairs at the end. I could see a signboard with a sword and shield engraved in gold in the middle far away. There was no one guarding it, as if all those who had been on guard due to the alarm magic had come down. Icarone ran over there without hesitation.

-Bang!

Unlike the first armory, the door was made of steel and had a heavy lock. It didn’t budge even when kicked. Icarone kicked it a few more times, but when there was no movement, he changed his method and struck the lock with his sword.

-Chae-Ang!

Sparks flew and a sharp metallic sound echoed throughout the room. However, the lock only received a small scratch. He struck the lock repeatedly.

-Cheong! Cheong! Cheongrang!

His impatience was clearly reflected in his actions. The sword he had been striking with only force eventually broke, and his hand was torn and bleeding. Just when he was contemplating whether to give up and escape, he saw that the part connecting the lock and the steel door was slightly separated.
