214. King of the North (8)
#214
“okay. “This is Aradan Turgeng, son of Jaifa.”
Ronan, at a loss for words, closed his mouth. This was the moment when the unpleasant sense of déjà vu she had been feeling from earlier was revealed.
Aradan’s swordsmanship, which was based on wild instincts, was very similar to Jaifa’s. Adeshan, who was breathing heavily, spoke in a trembling voice.
“Did you bring your nephew back to life using necromancy?”
“okay. It is no exaggeration to say that Aradan has fulfilled my long-held wish and is the masterpiece of a lifetime. “Unlike me, who has no talent in martial arts, I inherited my brother’s qualities.”
“Uh, how can that be…how….”
“I’m sure Aradan will be happy too. Because he can directly punish the enemy who killed him and his father who became soft.”
There was not even a trace of guilt to be found in Barca’s calm voice. Aradan’s eyes, who had already reached the end of their lives, were shining with a cool glow.
It was a ghostly spirit unique to a corpse that had been brought back to life in defiance of reason. She looked into her eyes and Adeshan covered her mouth. The moment she let her guard down, she felt like she was going to vomit.
Because everyone was silent, only the sound of swords clashing echoed in the ugly, distorted silence. Ronan, who had been responding silently, muttered quietly.
“Even though you said that…”
“Kaaaa!”
Suddenly, a mindless roar erupted from Aradan’s maw. The sword attacks became more violent and rained down on Ronan. Two blades, bristling like fangs, were about to pierce his neck. Ronan shouted, clutching the hilt of his sword as if it were going to break.
“Are you so people, this dog!”
“Cow?!”
Aradan’s eyes widened. La Mancha, who accelerated rapidly, struck down two swords that were flying at him at the same time. Kachang! The shattered blade fragments flew like snowflakes.
“Get out of my way!”
Ronan immediately stretched out his leg and kicked Aradan in the stomach. The sensation of his intestines exploding and his spine shattering ran down his toes. Quang! The flying body smashed various experimental tools and landed on the wall of the laboratory.
“···Anyway, you’re an ignorant guy.”
Barka, who was watching, shook his head. Ronan’s legs, strengthened by Varen’s aura, were wrapped in a golden glow. Ronan turned to him and growled.
“I will definitely show you hell.”
Even in my two lives, I have never felt this level of disgust. The maggot-infested field ward felt much cleaner.
must be killed And that too, as painfully as possible. Ronan was about to manifest his auror.
“Do what you like. Still, shouldn’t we finish the game we were playing?”
“what?”
Ronan frowned at the incomprehensible sound. In an instant, the smoke rising from where Aradan was trapped tore to the left and right. It was the moment when his arm, which moved before his head, reflexively took a defensive stance. bang!! The shadow that rushed like a thunderbolt collided with Ronan.
“Cruck! Crack!”
“Oh my gosh…!”
Ronan raised his gaze and cursed. Five claws reminiscent of a curved sword were holding onto La Mancha. The sight of Aradan showing his fangs and roaring was surprisingly healthy.
‘How does it move?’
I definitely broke my spine, but I couldn’t tell what happened. The abdomen that had been hit by his kick was still sunken. No matter how undead you are, you won’t be able to move freely if your body is damaged.
I wanted to figure out the cause, but Aradan didn’t give me time to think. After settling into his stance, he turned to the side and swung his arms.
“Kuhuhuhhh!”
In a perfect rotation, not a single gap could be found. It was hard to believe that this was a movement performed solely on instinct and killing intent. The wind-tearing grip would have blown away not only Ronan’s head, but her entire upper body.
“It’s good to have some energy.”
Ronan twisted his lips. If he had hit it head-on, his shoulder would have been shattered. He had retreated to a stable distance and was preparing a counterattack. Sigh! Suddenly, a fingernail stretched out before his eyes and struck Ronan in the face.
“Huh?!”
My cheek was torn and blood splattered. The range was clearly longer than expected. It was fortunate that they turned their faces just before contact and only brushed against each other. Ronan raised his eyebrows as his eyes fell on Aradan.
“That’s…!”
“Cruk! “Gurgling!”
In fact, Aradan’s left arm was long enough for his fingertips to touch the floor. Black tentacles were writhing inside the gaping wound on the inside of his elbow.
It didn’t seem like he was brought back to life simply by breathing. Barka said in a voice filled with laughter.
“Give up. This is not an opponent you can beat.”
“Ooh, what kind of monster did you have to be a monster?”
“It was a favor. “My nephew wanted to become a stronger warrior than anyone else.”
Barka triumphantly said that he had turned Aradan into a true warrior through black magic and various experiments. Ronan chewed his lower lip. I wanted to run over and hit that head right away, but Aradan would not get out of the way.
“Take care of them and come back.”
Barka turned his back on the struggling Ronan. Despite his leisurely tone, his steps were hurried. Several corpses stood up from all over the lab and surrounded him as if they were guarding him.
“Geueeek…!”
“Gruk, grur.”
The entities that seemed to have little combat power were purely meat shields to block Ronan’s aurors. He walked with a limp and entered the side door in the corner of the laboratory.
“Fuck you, get out of my way!”
Ronan became impatient and grabbed the hilt of his sword. His hand became blurry for a moment, and a black line appeared on Aradan’s chest. Sigh! Black, rotten blood soaked Ronan’s face.
“Fuck, it’s so fucking hard.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrr!”
But Aradan didn’t care. Were Tiger, who showed a reaction similar to being stabbed by a tack, immediately took his stance and rushed at Ronan. It felt like the ribs had been cut, but even for a corpse, it had incredible vitality.
“Let’s do it in moderation. huh?”
“Kyaaaaa!”
It was natural, but the answer Ronan expected did not come back. Aradan had already died a long time ago. A puppet that is pickled and manipulated with all kinds of malice.
“If you do this, you really should be killed.”
Ronan muttered as if he was being squeezed. Aradan was really strong, but she didn’t actually think she was going to lose. However, the fact that he was Zaifa’s child made his sword heavy.
In order to finish this, I would have to make a complete piece of meat and grind it up, but I couldn’t even think about it. Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have read Zaifa’s letter. Suddenly, Barka, who was trying to enter through the side door, stopped in place.
“Why don’t you just stop following something that isn’t the same?”
“Ugh…!”
Adeshan, who was slowly walking, gritted his teeth. I never thought you would notice during this commotion.
She was sneaking up on Varka while Ronan kept Aradan’s attention. She said as Barca tapped her head with her index finger.
“You’ve been trying to break into my mental world since a while ago. “It has dangerous power.”
“Barka!”
She gave up her stealth and pulled out her crossbow. One of the secret shots that had already been put on hold was fired. Kang! The arrow landed exactly in front of Barka’s eyes and bounced off as if it had hit a wall.
“ah!”
“Still… no matter how ridiculous I become, would I still be beaten by someone like you?”
Barca snorted. The star’s protection was fluttering around his body. Adeshan’s face hardened in despair. Barca, with his back turned, snapped his fingers.
“Clean it up.”
“Oh my…!”
Adeshan immediately fired his next crossbow. If they couldn’t damage his body, they had to at least collapse the ceiling to stop it. At that time, Aradan, who was fighting Ronan, kicked the ground and leapt. bang! Ade Shan blocked his path and struck down his crossbow.
“Claralak!”
“No way!”
Adeshan’s eyes widened. It was an unrealistic reaction speed. Aradan, clearing the danger, extended her claws.
“Kuhung!”
“this···!”
It was too late to avoid it. She reflexively raised her whip. Kwasik! The dagger-like claws narrowly struck her whip, not her heart. However, she could not be considered to have completely succeeded in defending herself. The whip was pushed behind her and hit her upper body. At the same time, her body bounced from the shock and rolled around on the floor.
“Ugh!”
Blood spurted from Adeshan’s mouth. Five sharp iron blades were digging into her from her chest to her side. I could feel the internal organs inside my skin being injured.
Barka had already disappeared inside the side door. The footsteps were getting further and further away.
Squeezing out the last of his strength, Adeshan instead of defending or dodging, fired one more crossbow shot in Barca’s direction. This time Aradan couldn’t react either. Sigh! The sound of an arrowhead penetrating was heard from beyond the darkness.
“······Phew!”
It was a hit. Barca’s moans followed. Fortunately, it seemed to have been dug right after the star’s protection disappeared. This will make Ronan’s pursuit much easier.
“Whoa…”
Perhaps because I lost a lot of blood at once, my vision was quickly blurring. Having fulfilled her calling, she lost her balance and fell. Aradan, with her arms raised, was about to deliver her final blow.
“Adeshan!”
Ronan’s cry was heard. At the same time, the setting sun poured down from behind Aradan. The Auror, who was pulling his opponent, instantly pulled Aradan right in front of Ronan.
“Kuheuung!”
Aradan turned around without being embarrassed. The blow that was meant to be delivered to Adeshan naturally landed on Ronan’s head. Ronan shouted without even looking at him.
“개새끼야, 저리 비켜!”
The sword’s body, which had been lined with scarlet, was dyed red. La Mancha disappeared from sight for a moment. At the same time, her hand grazed Ronan’s ear and hit the floor. Quaaaang! The stone floor was destroyed, revealing a ground made of ice.
“Kraaaaaak!”
It was a draw. Aradan tried to attack again, but Ronan, who should have been in front of him, could not be seen. As he turned his head, he saw him running towards Adeshan, ignoring himself.
“···Kruk?”
At that time, dozens of red lines were drawn over Aradan’s body. He was about to bark something when he felt his senses being cut off. Wow! The body, cut into exactly twenty pieces, collapsed as if exploding.
Black blood, internal organs, and dismembered tentacles spilled onto the floor. Ronan, who killed the meat shield corpses with a single sword, ran to Adeshan. She was sitting against the wall, moaning with her whip still lodged in her body.
“Ro, Ronan…”
“Don’t talk. “I will treat you right away.”
The wound was deep. Ronan immediately pulled out his whip and poured the emergency potion into the affected area. With a sound like water in a pot evaporating, the bleeding stopped and the flesh began to heal. Unable to overcome her pain, Ade Shan bit her arm.
“Ugh, ugh…!”
“Damn it, why did you do such a reckless thing? “Not like you.”
Ronan chewed his lips. He said that if he had been one step late, Adeshan would have no longer been a person of this world. It was her behavior that did not suit her always rational personality.
“You won’t be able to go far because it hit your leg… haha, let’s go after him…”
“Adeshan.”
“Ronan, I…”
Adeshan, shaking like a newborn deer, stood up. She turned her gaze away and suddenly pointed behind her at Ronan’s back.
“Look at that…”
“yes?”
The pieces of meat that made up Aradan were writhing and gathering in one place. Black tentacles extending out like the legs of an arthropod were attaching the severed body.
“Fuck.”
Ronan cursed. It seemed like it wasn’t completely finished. Even though his form was almost unrecognizable, Aradan was trying to survive.
The boy who was murdered at the height of his love suffered even after his death. Adeshan, who was watching the terrible scene, opened his mouth.
“I can’t forgive Barka.”
In contrast to the boiling anger, his voice was cold and subdued. The gray eyes were fluttering a different color than usual. Her inner voice, which she had been hearing for some time, was urging her on.
【okay. little bit more.】
