077. Uninvited Guest (2)

No matter how much he attacked himself, he felt a primal sense of rejection at the thought of killing children and women without mercy. The person who dragged him away without any hesitation and swung his sword at women and children, even without his cold eyes and black mask, he seemed to know who he was. His gaze was still fixed on the corpses of the children and women.

“Oh, how…… they ended up ordering me to do it……”

At that moment, Icarone’s cold gaze was fixed on Rachel.

“Get back.”

Rachel turned her head to follow his gaze, wondering why he was telling her to fall back as if he was preparing to fight when he had already killed her.

“Ugh…….”

In front of her eyes, a child and a woman were running toward her, their heads cut off, their claws sharp and swinging wildly. Shocked by the horrifying scene, Rachel instinctively took a step back, and a sound like a spell was faintly heard in her ears. At the steady and familiar sound, Rachel turned her head as if she was being stimulated.

When I looked back, I saw people moving awkwardly emerging from the darkness one after another. There must have been at least a few hundred of them.

“Kill Rachel, kill Rachel, kill Rachel!”

“Uh, what should I do…….”

“What the hell, what the hell are those things!”

Rachel, Lorey, and Requil were shocked. They slowly gathered near the carriage, as if surrounding it… … . Their eyes were all unfocused.

Icarone cut off the limbs of the child in front of him and finally pierced his heart. Only then did he stop moving. Frowning slightly, he immediately pierced the heart of the woman next to him. Then the woman also shuddered and stopped moving completely.

“It’ll be tricky…….”

Although it was the first time he had met Icarone, his eyes were calm.

What in this world wouldn’t be surprising? Compared to when I first encountered the demons in Harin’s cave, these guys are nothing but cute. However, if you have to pierce the heart to stop them from moving, it’s even trickier than the head.

Judging by the number of them and the movements of the child, Requil will not be able to deal with even three of them at the same time. He may be able to escape with Rachel alone, but it is not enough to protect three, no, four, including the coachman. There will definitely be deaths.

Icarone looked back. He saw Requil with his sword drawn, with Lorey and Rachel behind him and the carriage. He could see the firm determination to protect the subject until his death from his lips. Icarone raised one corner of his mouth slightly and threw something at him.

“Whoaaah!”

Requill looked startled and shocked. He was already tense because of these terrifying things, so he was startled and shocked when something black flew from the sky. Then, he opened his mouth, ignoring Requill’s gaze that was looking at him with an expression of confusion, and fixing his gaze on the unidentified group.

“Put it on, and aim for the heart.”

It would be an excellent defensive piece for him, as it would not even scratch a decent sword. I thought about giving it to Rachel, but if Requil gets hit, she would get hit anyway. I decided it would be better to give it to Requil, who could help resolve this situation, and deal with this group as quickly as possible.

When the unidentified people(?) approached about 30m away, they stopped moving as if it were a lie. Then they shouted in a scary, sharp way.

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

“Kiyaaaaak!”

They rushed in simultaneously, starting from that sound. Their speed was far faster than that of the criminal. The sight of hundreds of people running from all directions, emitting a terrifying murderous aura, was enough to induce panic.

‘That’s dangerous.’

Requil alone, three? No, I made a hasty judgment based only on the child’s movements. Even two would be difficult. The number was estimated at a thousand. Icarone bit her lips and leapt forward. Ray and Guido were sharply flashing in both hands.

-Thwack, thwack, swoosh! Swoosh!

Icarone lowered his posture and pierced the opponent’s heart, and as he charged forward with a terrifying momentum, he began to cut down everything he could. He cut and cut again their arms, legs, and heads. ‘Insight’ was sending information like crazy. Since he knew their weaknesses, it seemed like this Insight ability was also applying the fact that their hearts were their only weakness, and showed a ‘path’ to efficiently cut down their hearts. Now, it was not showing each weakness separately, but showing the connection, so it was as if there was an illusion of a long red line.

Ssaak-

Icarone swung his sword along the line.

No, even if this ‘Insight’ hadn’t been activated, he would have attacked along the way. ‘Insight’ is like a teacher who only appears in real battles. Its teachings are completely absorbed into his body, and even when he has no intention of killing his opponent and Insight isn’t activated, he can perform swordsmanship as if it had been activated. That’s why Icarone can comfortably accept this ability without thinking that his natural fighting ability is reduced.

Against such a large number of enemies, you must conserve your strength and deal with them efficiently. However, the weak point is not the head but the heart, so stabbing them one by one to pierce their hearts is relatively slower than cutting them. The eyes of those rushing in lack fear, so their movements are not delayed by threats. Icarone had no choice but to start cutting the torso, which requires even more strength. Wherever he passed, severed limbs soared into the sky. Icarone ran around like a madman and swung his sword.

-Crunch crunch! Boom!

The feeling of the tip of the sword touching it is that it has leather that is several times tougher than that of a normal person. The state of his bare body is like armor. Icarone gritted his teeth and pushed the back of the blade with one hand.

-Whoaaah!

The torso of one person, which had only been cut in half, was completely split in two and fell to the ground. At that moment, a short death cry was heard.

“Ahh!”

“Lord Requil!”

Requil fell to one knee, clutching his side.

The way they fight without fear was difficult for Requil, who lacks actual combat experience. It is also admirable that they have been able to hold out until now. They completely ignore defense and when you stab them in the torso, they grab the sword and rush at you. Once the sword is stabbed, it is hard to get it out. They never dodge when you swing the sword, and they rush at you even if a part of their body is cut off. It is as if you cannot see the sword at all and only Rachel can see it.

As Requil showed a momentary opening, they came rushing in like a tidal wave. Icarone jumped up, stepping on the heads of those who stood in her way. As she landed next to Rachel, she cut off the heads of the four men rushing at her at once and pushed them back with her torso, gaining distance as quickly as possible.

‘This can’t go on.’

We need to change our strategy. If we continue like this, even I won’t be able to save everyone. Rachel and Lorey, who already have no armor or proper defense equipment, are covered in wounds. It’s fortunate that their weapons are claws, isn’t it? Ah!

‘Attack limit!’

Their weapons are at best hands and necks. It is much easier to remove the hands and necks that are so kindly extended to put out an urgent fire. Icarone was timing his sword attack while keeping a distance. When he was attacking the sword attack, Guido was strangely more effective than Ray, who was sharp. Sword attack, it is an ability that shows quite an effective strike in battles with multiple people, but once you use it, you feel like all the energy in your body is drained out.

After blowing it once, the movements become slightly slower than before… … .

So, when fighting a long-term war, this can be a fatal mistake, unless the purpose and efficiency are calculated precisely.

There was a brief moment of pause as the three people in front of him fell down at the same time. Icarone grabbed Guido with his hands and threw his shoulders back.

-Phew!

In an instant, a long, sharp sound was heard, tearing the air as the sword was swung around.

-Whahahahahahahaha!

“Hehe…….”

Requil couldn’t close his gaping mouth, even though he wrinkled his nose at the disgusting smell. That was because he had witnessed people’s necks simultaneously falling off at the end of Icarone’s 120-degree frontal line of sight. Requil looked at his comrades once more and shuddered in fear.

“hmm?”

It was then. Icarone felt the focus in front of her eyes becoming ever so slightly blurred. A side effect of the black energy? No. It was a familiar feeling. This was… … .

“Poetry?”

Icarone turned his head quickly to check on the others. Their faces were already darkened.

“Coolook!”

Requil vomited a handful of blood. Rachel and Lorey were also breathing hard, their eyes half-open. They had some immunity and would heal naturally, but they wouldn’t last more than an hour like this.

Icarone calmly checked his physical condition. If they fire another sword, escape is impossible, but he can continue to fight them. Assuming that the person who sent them didn’t prepare another trap. However, what if he tries to escape with only Rachel? It will be difficult, but he has the highest chance of success, no matter what the enemy has prepared.

But Requil and Lorey, what about them?

I never imagined that I would be in a situation where I would be struggling between this practicality and morality. In the past, I would have pointed a finger at myself for being foolish and struggling. That is why my heart is even more troubled and heavy. Icarone lowered his head, and there was a sneer on his lips. His feet turned toward Rachel.

That was when.

Suddenly, the sky seemed to brighten. I turned my gaze to the source of the light and saw something flying in the distance. It was a fireball the size of an adult’s torso.

-Kuwaaaaang!

With a tremendous roar, the flames engulfed the area. Icarone immediately snatched the coat Requil was wearing and spread it out to cover them. Fortunately, it was only slightly hot and did not reach the flames’ range. When he turned his head, he saw hundreds of people burning. They did not feel pain and continued to run, but they were melted to the bone after only a few steps.

The firepower was incredible. The middle-aged man I saw in the dungeon came to mind. Are all the wizards here originally that powerful? Even though it was a magic kingdom… …. Icarone felt small once again.

Following that, dozens of knights riding horses could be seen, led by Mircen in the distance.

“Rachel Niem! I am here! Knights! Capture every single one of them!”
