chapter 20
20 – Confession (2)
* * * *
An invisible darkness enveloped my skin. It was because Lily didn’t yet have the proficiency to use two magics at the same time.
Also, even if it wasn’t for that, it was because the magic he was preparing was consuming enough mana.
Taking a step back, I narrowed the distance with Lily. Because he said that even in the story, he explicitly showed a move aimed at Selina, not Ian, who was confronting him.
Even in the dark, his deliberately staring eyes pierced me coldly.
He seemed to know that his eyes glowed in the dark just like the beast’s.
‘Real Ian that baby is a talent.’
I inherited Finn’s experience, and on top of that, I’ve walked the path as an assassin who acts stealthily in the dark, so I can’t fall behind in fighting in such an unfavorable environment to some extent.
what the hell is that guy
It means that he overcame this situation with just one innate combat sense without any experience. Even while protecting Selina for as little as five minutes.
Fisik, a laugh leaked out of my nose without my knowledge. It was because the corner of my mouth that was tightly closed rose without my knowledge.
He wouldn’t, because I never imagined that I wouldn’t be able to survive the 5 minutes that Ian managed to manage somehow, and the 3 minutes that could be described as too short in comparison.
-Even though the lycanthrope didn’t show any signs, Ian managed to avoid the footwork that sensibly sent down his whole body.
Among those works, the heavy, hard feet of the guy rushing towards me without the slightest deviation from the phrase and the dagger-like claws hidden in them.
-Chaeeng! squeak.
Moving the sword from the upper right to the lower left, he rotated his wrist again and cut upwards in front of him.
With a snapping sound, red blood formed between his pitch-black mane, and the blood splattered on his face came into my field of vision in an instant.
Even though he said he didn’t show any signs of it in his work, I felt a strange suspicion that I could feel his feet rushing in with the intention of tearing me apart.
Did Ian simply express it that way because he is not yet at that level?
Since the main character in the work was Ian, it was quite possible to express the story according to Ian’s level.
-Kreur… Cre… .
As if he wouldn’t even give me time to think, he hid himself in the darkness again and began to peek at the timing to surprise me again.
Soon after, the smell of animal blood tinglingly stimulated my mucous membranes, riding on the wind that even obscured my sense of existence.
It was as if he, a beast, did not know how terribly fishy his blood smelled to humans. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a strong smell in one place.
With such a blatant presence, I heard the rustling of the bush as I sighed and smiled at the epicenter of the smell, which was presumed to be there.
At the same time, the jet-black darker than the background that filled my eyes, and the glowing eyes of the lycanthrope staring at me honestly. Apparently, this guy seemed to be a monster with a hot-blooded tendency.
“Asshole.”
Until recently, I only noticed when he got close to me, so I had no choice but to block his attack and then aim for a counterattack.
The current situation was very different from the one before, so I couldn’t help but think about it.
Assassins and mere beasts waiting for their target to come. Of course, its size and physique, as well as its overwhelming presence and power, were absurd to say that it was that of a mere beast.
Even so, the common and very fatal vital points that we have as living beings are the same as mine.
I stepped forward and ducked the forepaw that he swung at me with all my might, and I approached right in front of him and carved a solid line of light into it. Start at his crotch and end at his chin.
Then, to the extent that its frailty is considered inappropriate to describe it as a push shoot, the crimson flesh visible through the cracked jet-black hide began to quiver and spurt a large amount of gore.
-Kuueek!! Queueek!
It screamed in agony, but an unsatisfying sound nonetheless filled the darkness.
The reason was because my sword rushed in, slashing through his stomach skin like a curtain that was opened on both sides, and tore off his chin, which was clearly sticking out towards me rather than the belly skin.
-Kleurle… .
A lycanthrope dragging its tongue sticking out from between its cracked jaws on the floor.
Its hideous appearance resembled the shape of an alien’s mouth from an old American movie.
‘Then, will he be able to lay eggs in people’s stomachs?’
“Poohyong.”
Even though it was a situation that should have been serious, laughter broke out. That’s because my current situation was so ridiculous that I could actually afford to spit out such trivial jokes.
-Kuheu, kuheu.
In the end, it seemed that he couldn’t breathe properly through his torn mouth like popcorn, so he let out a hurried breath that seemed to suppress the pain and hid himself in the darkness.
It was the result of him not being able to tolerate my low-level provocation and attacking.
I thought that I could go after him and finish him right away, but I just glanced at Lily with my eyes wide open because I was worried that it might cause a big upset because I was too careless.
Lily, closing her eyes and concentrating still, gradually collects that opaque magical energy into her palm.
Since I’m not a wizard, I didn’t even have a sense of the magic or how much magic each magic required, but compared to the size of Selina’s magic described in the original work, Lily’s magic will be completed in about 2 to 30 seconds. It was predicted that this would be completed.
‘Anyway, things seem to work out too easily.’
I felt very uncomfortable with the result so disappointing that I watched him as if contemplating it.
Why did Ian and Selina struggle through all their hardships with a guy like this?
Upon hearing such a question, I hurriedly re-read the phrase describing the appearance of the guy I had read in the original work.
-The size of a house and the black color itself, which seemed to eat up even the light because it was so pitch-black, the only way to judge its appearance with the naked eye was its molars, which were reflected in the light emitted by the bead, which was the goal of the mission. .
The size of a house… right
It’s pitch black, so black itself… This also seems to be about right.
The bead-colored reflected molars are also suitable as a means to judge its appearance… .
Why? I don’t know why, but while every expression in the story points to him, my intuition yelled at him that Ian and Selina would not be able to fight.
Of course, I’d never seen Selina in person, but I knew Ian’s skill as surely as I did, having personally competed sword-to-sword in the final.
Even if Ian couldn’t defeat me yet, it was impossible for me to defeat Ian without taking any damage.
The power of the two, including Ian and Selina, was unable to knock down a lycanthrope the size of a house, so the expression that they were in a hurry to block the attack only felt that there was something wrong,
I gripped my sword again and faced the darkness of this guy who was clearly fading away.
However, Lily opened her closed eyes as if I didn’t have to use my hands and announced that the magic was ready.
“I’m ready.”
In response, I pointed with my sword at the presence of the guy, who was hiding it from me, and whose presence was so obvious that even Lily was looking at the source of the smell.
“…just fire it over there.”
“It seems so.”
At the same time as the answer, Lily placed the guy’s presence between her lightly spread hands, and then closed her palms as if clapping.
Soon after, it was felt that the creature was dissipated without even a faint scream.
“Ha, ha… uh…”
“Are you okay?”
Lily looks tired because it was a magic that crushes the target in her field of view regardless of whether it is large or small.
I also couldn’t tell Lily that I didn’t have to prepare magic because I didn’t think I could defeat it alone because of the description in the story.
“Anyway, even if you cancel the magic that has already started unfolding, nothing will come back… It’s okay.”
One more absurdity of this world. No, maybe it’s a surprisingly realistic side?
I wonder if there is no reward without a price, even if the wizards in this world give up their magic during casting, they will consume as much magic as that magic. certainly.
“Well, it must be difficult to destroy a guy the size of a house like that.”
“…A guy the size of a house?”
“Isn’t it the size of a house, the size.”
Lily looked up at me with a questioning look.
“It’s definitely the largest of the monsters I’ve seen.”
Lily like that is one thing to me. I’m mistaken… No, I pointed out what I was misunderstanding.
“But isn’t it the size of a house? Isn’t it normal for a house to be much bigger than this?”
It was the size of a house in my standard, which was living in a moldy single room for modern people.
In this fantasy world, the size of a house in terms of the royal family, the aristocratic Lily, and Ian’s standards means a significantly different size.
And then, the phrase written in Ian’s heart when he first witnessed the lycanthrope passing through my mind.
-But I didn’t have to figure out where he was. If I just wanted to attack him, I would just swing my sword forward, and no matter where I looked in front of me, his size must be blocking me.
-gulp.
‘… Unlike the original work, there is not one lycanthrope.’
I wasn’t sure, but I was sure. It must have been so.
So I hurriedly turned my head to tell Lily not to relax.
“yes?”
I saw Lily looking at me with the bright eyes she had seen me before. And the huge, black black itself that came towards Lily.
It boasted a black and dark color that was so intimidating that it was incomparable to the jet-black mane we had just seen.
“Princess!!”
I jumped between Lily and the darkness, kicking the ground with all my might.
-Quaang!!

Just like that, instead of Lily, the sword was slammed into her forepaw and flew through the air, crashing into a tree in the forest like a dart.
“Heuk!”
“B, Berry!!”
A low growl, like a roar, followed soon after. That alone gave an idea of its size. Now, it is so large that it is questionable whether it can be described as a wolf family.
‘Fuck, I look twice as tall as that guy.’
Now, it didn’t matter how that big guy got close to us without a word. The important thing now was rather this side, not that side.
A piercing pain that ran through my shoulders and permeated my spinal cord.
My left arm, which had not been able to defend against the previous surprise attack with a sword, was bent in a direction it shouldn’t have been, and along with that, the left shoulder blade was also tattered, and the clot was spurting blood.
Then, the alarm bell of crisis, which informed me that my plan had gone awry,
This time, he urgently informed me of the danger to his life. Not just me, but Lily’s life as well.
