206. Jager (6)
#206
“Khaak!”
Ronan jumped forward and slashed with his sword diagonally. The head of the werelion that was running in front rose into the air. Blood as hot as hot spring water drenched his face.
“It’s like going back to the old days.”
Steam was rising from the spot where the blood was stained. Ronan chuckled as he remembered her past life. When I fought werewolves in the snowy fields, it was nice to be covered in their blood and forget about the cold for a moment. This was before the headless body of the werelion fell.
“die! human!”
Phew! A horn the size of an adult’s thigh tore through the Were Lion’s chest and protruded. It was a rhino beast running right behind. To be ignorant. After muttering that, Ronan immediately lowered her posture and fired a stab at her. Puff puff! La Mancha made four or five holes in the rhino beast’s neck and escaped. Once again, hot blood poured out. The rhinoceros, which was running with the momentum to destroy Taesan, grabbed its neck and fell.
“100 million···!”
“You idiot, if you suddenly fall!”
The prisoners who were running exhaled bewilderment. From their perspective, it was as if a breakwater had suddenly appeared before their eyes. No one stumbled, but Ronan didn’t miss even the fleeting glimpse of them. The sword dyed bright red drew a semicircle. Plop! The spray of sword energy sprayed in a fan shape hit the beasts’ heads.
“Wow!”
“Kaaak!”
The energy that had penetrated my brain came out by smashing the back of my head. Three people died instantly and two were injured. Seeing that he dodged the shot even though he aimed exactly between the eyes, it seemed like he shouldn’t be taken lightly. He was a powerful enemy on a different level from the natives he had faced in his previous life.
“Show some grit, you furry bastards!”
Of course, there was no other option than to cut them all up and kill them. After catching her breath, Ronan shouted in excitement and swung his sword. He did so not so much to strengthen his fighting spirit, but rather to draw attention to himself and not to Adeshan. She had exhausted her mental strength controlling her captive up to this point, and her fighting power had dropped significantly.
‘She’s a scary woman.’
Adeshan was fighting not far away. The whip made of iron pieces moved like a steel snake, preventing the prisoners from approaching. The part where she goes into battle with her back against the wall shows how much she has grown over the past two years.
‘I need to finish it quickly.’
Still, the limit would soon come. It was also unfortunate that I couldn’t bring a crossbow because I had to infiltrate. Ronan, who had entered into a full-scale melee, was in the midst of a sword fight.
“Big?!”
Suddenly, a dizzying pain struck Ronan’s lower body. As she hurriedly lowered her head, her eyes caught the sight of a werefox biting her thigh. Because of her unusually small stature, I could not bear to notice her as she approached with her presence hidden. cried the Werefox, sinking her teeth into it.
“I asked!”
“Okay, hold on to it!”
The beastmen who were looking for an opportunity rushed in all at once. Ronan immediately adjusted his sword and cut off the werefox’s head. Suddenly! Even though his body was gone, the fox’s head was still biting Ronan’s thigh. Ronan gritted his teeth at the tenacious tenacity unique to the beast people.
“What a bother…!”
It was a good thing that I reflexively strengthened my leg muscles. It stung and bothered me, but I didn’t have time to shake it off. Battle axes and maces the size of people were flying, aiming for the top of the head and the torso. The opponents this time were two massive werebears.
“You bastard!”
“Enemy of Kanochi!”
Perhaps because they were both large, they had great strength. I don’t know if Kanochi was a fox that had just died or one of the furballs that had died earlier, but he seemed very angry. Ronan was thinking about how to deal with this awkward situation. For a moment, the movements of the two beastmen who were swinging the giant weapons stopped.
“Okay.”
“Wow.”
“what?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. The two werebears that were running dynamically did not move as if they had been turned into statues. Ronan swung his sword despite being embarrassed by the unexpected situation. Suddenly. The moment the gently elliptical sword strike returned to its original position, the two bears’ heads fell to the floor. Adeshan’s voice came from behind.
“Ronan…Whew, are you okay?!”
“aha.”
The moment I saw her face, my doubts were resolved. The eyes of the werebears rolling around on the floor were still covered in a dull gray color. It was Adeshan’s mind control.
“thank you.”
“There are too many. ‘Aren’t you overdoing it?’
“I’m used to this… Are you okay? “I don’t get along very well with hairy people.”
“···huh. are you okay.”
Adeshan nodded. Of course it was a lie. Every time the beastmen’s fangs and claws attacked, I wanted to scream and collapse. The same people as those who killed their mother and brothers. It would be a lie if I said it was nothing.
Still, I couldn’t back down. If you were forever weighed down by the shadow of the past, you could not even reach the position of a low-level officer, let alone a general. Ronan told him that he didn’t want to waste his talent, which he wouldn’t have realized until the day he died.
“Whoa…”
With determination, she grabbed the whip. Even though Ronan was handling most of it, he had to help in small ways like now. The siege of the beastman, which hesitated for a moment, began to narrow again. Ronan said.
“If you think it won’t work, run away right away. “I will try to do something on my own.”
“huh. okay.”
Adeshan laughed. The two people exchanged glances and went off in different directions. Standing with her back to the wall again, she swung her whip. Kwajajajak! A horizontal steel snake swept past the charging beastmen. The whip that was previously captured from an executive of Nebula Clazier tore through the tough skin of prisoners like aged meat. Prisoners with injuries so severe that their bones were visible were left bleeding.
“Gyaaagh!”
“Fuck, that hurts!”
However, since it was a strong opponent, its killing power was not enough to inflict fatal wounds. It was around this time that Adeshan used a combination of mind control and whips to render about five people incapable of fighting.
“How long do you think things will go your way!”
Suddenly, a large Were Tiger grabbed Adeshan’s flying whip with his bare hands. Even though the whip wrapped around his forearm was digging into his flesh, he did not loosen his grip. Sigh! As Were Tiger violently swung his arm, Ade Shan’s body was dragged away.
“Come here, human girl!”
“Ugh…!”
It was an incredible power. There was no time to let go of the whip. Were Tiger landed his knee kick towards Ade Shan, who was flying towards him. Whoa! The wind pressure that hit her one step earlier threw back her bangs.
‘late.’
Adeshan, sensing death, bit his lower lip. Her knee came at her like a battering ram and was about to crush her skull. Ronan came in from outside her field of vision and pushed Ade Shan away.
“Ronan?”
Her eyes widened. Weretiger’s knees were now flying towards Ronan’s side. He said calmly, taking Adeshan’s hand, which was holding the whip.
“I’ll pull it.”
“what?”
Ronan didn’t answer. He hugged Adeshan and at the same time lunged forward. Sigh! Were Tiger’s hand, which was wrapped around the whip, was torn from his arm. Blood as hot as hot spring water sprayed everywhere. A desperate scream rang out.
“Kuhuhuh!!”
Blood, reminiscent of a geyser, spurted out from the dirty cut surface. The one-armed Were Tiger fell to his knees. He looked up at Ronan and Ade Shan sighed. A golden afterimage covered both his arms like armor.
Unlike before, which was blurry, the afterimage had a clear shape and was reminiscent of the paws of a cat or wild beast. It was a body strengthening aura copied from Varen sometime ago. Ronan said as he set her down in a corner of her room and returned her whip.
“I didn’t know I would pay off my debt so quickly.”
“Thank you.”
“What. We should have fought like this a long time ago. “After all, strength is strength.”
Ronan waved his arms and grinned. This was a change that occurred after receiving advice from Navardose. Not only his own skills, but also Nebula Clazie’s ability to copy Aurors was felt to have improved significantly.
The roughly dismembered corpses of prisoners were strewn about where he passed. The shattered fragments of the weapon showed how ruthlessly Ronan, wearing Varen’s Aura, fought. The Weredeer in his heavy armor questioned under his breath.
“Huh…are you…really…huh, human?”
“Probably so.”
“It’s a shame… Hehe, if I were my compatriot, I would have been a warrior on par with Jaifa-sama…!”
The weardeer’s muscle-covered body was swollen as if it would explode at any moment. After catching his breath, the wear deer charged forward with his horns in front. Countless scars remained on the handsome horn, as if the roots of an old tree had been turned over.
“A warrior.”
The corners of Ronan’s mouth rose at the overwhelming force. He did not back down and swung his sword vertically. The blade that cut off the horn sliced through the Were Deer’s head and body and came out between his legs. Sigh! A bisected body passed by both sides of Ronan.
“Even Rajmush…!”
“Go, strong.”
Clap! The stag’s carcass, cut from left to right, was rolling around on the floor. Changes also began to occur in the attitudes of the prisoners. Fear was slowly eating away at them.
“What, what, why do you fight so well?”
Jager, who was watching the situation from behind, hesitated and stepped back. The candle, which seemed ready to go out at any moment, was burning even louder, burning the waves of prisoners. The elite force of fifty prisoners had already been reduced by more than half.
“Hey, what should I do?”
Jager asked, his eyes fixed on Ronan. He wasn’t scary at all, but he felt like he needed to take action. There was no reply from the advisor. In the silence that continued even after waiting for a long time, Jager turned his head.
“You, I’m asking you right now…Huh?!”
Jager’s eyes got so big that they almost popped out. Apparently, the advisor who had been by my side until just now had disappeared. At the place where he was standing, only the scars where the portal had been opened remained, swaying like a haze.
“Are you running away?!”
Jager’s face hardened. At the same time, Ronan looked back and chewed his lower lip. He quickly realized that his advisor had run away. Jaipa’s energy had disappeared everywhere.
‘Damn it, no matter how busy the fight was, I shouldn’t have taken my eyes off it.’
It was because I wasn’t paying attention for a moment. The only remaining option was to capture Jager and interrogate him. At that time, Jager, who was in a hurry, started rummaging through his desk drawers. Before long, Ronan’s eyes widened at the sight of the scroll being held in his hand.
“Wait a minute, that can’t be…!”
Jager, who was watching, opened the scroll. The space around it distorted and a portal appeared. Ronan, seeing his worst imagination come true, raised his blood and shouted.
“Are you running away, you coward!!”
“Hmph, it’s a strategic retreat! SS, everyone, stop him!”
The beastmen who heard Jager’s command stopped retreating. They mumbled to themselves, strengthened their fighting spirit, and charged at Ronan again. Ronan gritted his teeth at the good, if pathological, loyalty. We had to catch that bastard right away, but there were still about twenty enemies left.
“Stand there!”
bang! Ronan, who was examining the situation, kicked the ground and leaped. He tried to shoot sword energy or activate aura in the air, but the fifteen beastmen who jumped with him surrounded him on all sides.
“Shit, won’t you get out of here?!”
“You can’t send it to Jager!”
“It’s Vicky!”
Ronan, overcome by evil, swung his sword. Dozens of red lines were drawn over the bodies of the prisoners blocking the way. As soon as he landed on the floor, two werewolves’ worth of meat rained down. However, despite the tiresome scenery, the prisoners under Jager’s orders rushed at Ronan like iron filings sticking to a magnet.
‘If I keep going like this, I’m really going to miss it!’
Unlike humans, they were massive and tenacious. Waves of fangs and teeth were rushing in like a struggle. I couldn’t think of a way to get past these big guys before Jager went. It was a car filled with feelings of despair. As an eerie wave-like wave passed through their bodies, all the beastmen’s bodies stopped at once.
“···ah?”
For a moment, I got goosebumps. Ronan hurriedly looked back at Adeshan. She widened her distance and glared at her prisoners with her eyes wide open. There were bulging veins around both of her eyes. Adeshan realized what she was doing and Ronan frowned at her.
“no way.”
A jet of black mana hung like fog in the room. The eyes of her prisoners were the same gray color as hers. It was an unexpectedly large-scale mental takeover. The prisoners suddenly fell into a state of paralysis and were bewildered.
“Mo, my body isn’t moving…!”
“Humans, what have you done!”
It seemed like the only thing that could be done was to stop the movement of the body. The beastmen were gnashing their teeth and glaring at the two people. she whispered, squeezing hers.
“…I can’t hold on for long.”
“senior.”
Adeshan looked dangerous, as if he would collapse at any moment. A trickle of blood ran down her sharp nose. It was an unexpected opportunity. Ronan’s thighs, strengthened by mana, swelled as if they were about to burst.
“Just hold on for 5 seconds!”
Quang! Ronan shouted, kicking the ground and leaping. He had no intention of wasting time. As soon as Ronan pulled the hilt of the sword, a ray of light erupted and enveloped Jager.
“Ugh?!”
The light had a scarlet color reminiscent of a sunset. Jager closed his eyes and opened them at the unexpected and intense flash of light. Clearly, the portal that had been in front of me just now was far away.
“Oh my god…!”
Jager realized that he had fallen prey to his advisor’s powers. When she turned her head, she saw Ronan, who was already ready to swing his sword. It was too late to dodge or respond, but his expression was not that dark. Jager, who was quickly shaking his head, shouted in a voice mixed with laughter.
“Stupid, it’s a shield that blocks any attacks!”
Suddenly, Jager ripped off the necklace he was wearing. At the same time, sparkling mana spread out like an explosion centered around her necklace. A hemispherical curtain was rapidly expanding around Jager. Ronan, who recognized its identity, frowned at her.
“Blessing of the stars…?”
“Hehehehe! Fly away!”
Jager laughed. He had seen his advisor use this technique in the past. The shield that repels any vicious magic or blade was his final secret weapon that would protect him in any situation.
Now all I had to do was use the escape scroll again while this crazy person bounced off the shield and flew away. Suddenly Ronan breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad it’s me who’s here.”
“what?”
Jager tilted his head at the inexplicable sound. It was the moment when the expanding star’s protection and Ronan’s body were about to collide. He calmly raised the sword he was holding vertically. Sigh! The shield that touched the blade tore left and right and disappeared.
“···what?”
“That’s it?”
I didn’t know what happened. The shield blocking everything had disappeared everywhere. Ronan took a stance to swing his sword again. Jager, sensing a crisis, shouted in a panic.
“Wait! for a moment. Okay, let’s resolve it through conversation!”
He could tell that he had come this far just by improvising. The person in front of him was not someone he could handle. It was best for him to pretend to give in and look for an opening. Ronan laughed after seeing Jager’s reaction.
“I’m glad it’s consistent, Jager.”
He may have become stronger, but seeing that he was servile, it was really the Jager he knew. Still, I still have old feelings, so maybe I should have left the bridge behind. Ronan mumbled and shook his head.
“But what? “It’s already too late.”
“···late?”
Jager tilted his head. At the same time, red lines were drawn over his left arm and right thigh. It was the moment when Ronan, who had turned his sword around and held it, led the way. Sigh! Jager’s limbs fell to the ground along with a gushing fountain of blood.
