Helmut
Episode 38
The attacking monsters were slowly shrinking.
If several people attack, they are bound to cause at least one wound, but there is no gap in sight. It’s like having a protective shield around your body.
I was only moving one or two steps from my seat, and only about that radius, but I couldn’t even reach it and got cut. A fast and powerful sword strike as if there were no blind spots.
“Has it been about two minutes?”
Helmut asked himself. There are only a few left now. As the number became smaller, he shrank back and caught the attention of the leader.
Monsters controlled by demonic energy. The weaker they are, the more they are dominated by brainwashing. That dominance often overpowers instinct.
Hesitation means that the monkey monster’s control has weakened. The guy was curled up quietly in one place.
‘What are you doing?’
I read the flow in a split second. A flow of demonic energy rapidly converging towards the heart.
He plans to unleash his power in an instant and defeat Helmut. Most of the demon energy will be lost, but almost all of his subordinates are dead. There is no one who can challenge the leader.
-Keeeeee.
It raised its head, making a sound similar to a growl. The purple face is dyed blue-black.
The life was exploding from his cruelly distorted face. A life that puts tremendous pressure on space. And the Magi became much more powerful.
In an instant, he gained enough power to overwhelm Helmut’s Vis.
In that state, you can pose a threat to yourself. A little tension made my heart pound.
‘It is better to fight while losing strength.’
I could feel the presence of the Face Mercenaries running from the other side. Helmut frowned.
The war situation seemed to be bad, so only Helmut rushed over, leaving them behind. Because it would be difficult if the client died.
‘If you rush in to help, you’ll only become a burden.’
I have never fought while protecting someone. I’ve never even paid attention to it.
‘I have to deal with it quickly.’
Helmut made a decision. And his decision and the bastard’s attack came at the same time.
Kwasik! His huge hands roughly dug into the spot where he was. There was a dent as if a shovel had dug through it.
‘Unfortunately.’
The only thing I regret is that I can’t enjoy it more.
Helmut dodged to the right, stepped on the ground, and threw his sword at the guy’s side.
The guy raised his arm and blocked it. Kang! It felt like hitting a rock. My grip tingled from the rebound.
-Kiiiii?
The monkey monster looked at him mockingly with red eyes.
‘Is it impossible to break through to this level?’
Helmut did not lose his composure and strengthened the hand holding the sword.
Gray vis blooms strongly. The fur was pushed and dented little by little.
The monkey monster was not there either. He stretched out his other long arm and tried to strike Helmut away.
Shhh! The sound of cutting through the air is harsh. Helmut leaned down and snuggled into her arms.
For monsters larger than themselves, the bottom is closer to a square than the top.
The monkey monster was embarrassed and put his arms together. If you get caught in that violent hug, your body will be crushed.
‘You’re moving faster too.’
I was going to cut my head, but I couldn’t afford it. He stepped on the guy’s chest and ran.
widely! It flies up into the air, turns its body, and lands backwards.
The guy immediately turned around and stretched out his arms. As the magic energy was absorbed into the stubby black nails, they became sharp like a true sword.
Boom! It cuts not only within the area of direct contact, but also into the vacuum where the wind blows. The hem of Helmut’s old clothes was scratched and fell off. There are no scratches on the exposed skin.
“I don’t even have a few clothes.”
Helmut glared at the bastard with dissatisfied eyes. He was planning to kill him right away, but he moved faster than expected. He was not easy to land a blow.
On the contrary, Helmut’s sword was blocked by his demonic energy, but he was able to pierce Helmut’s vis.
The soft and fragile human body. Even if it is strengthened, there are limits. What to avoid had to be avoided.
The guy who was scratching in the air suddenly fell into the distance. Magi was gathered in the center and held. Curl up your body and gather strength in your legs.
Helmut intuitively knew what would happen next.
puck! The guy kicked the floor and jumped up. It turns into a circular ball without a square and rushes in this direction.
The accelerated body of the monster is like a piece of iron. If you collide in that state, your whole body will be crushed as if you were hit directly by an iron rock falling from the sky.
I’ve seen this type of attack before.
‘Naho said that.’
At that time, I was pinned down and lost consciousness, but now my body size and speed are different. You can avoid it. A thought passed by as quickly as light. Helmut decided.
‘It hits you head on.’
I can’t take any more time. It was a chance to end it in one fell swoop. Avoidance is something you do when the opponent’s attack is difficult to counter.
Strength versus strength. Counter Magi with Vis and attacks with attacks. When two swords collide, the weaker one is shattered.
Helmut was confident of his victory.
Shoooooooooo! A huge body flew through the air. It flew toward Helmut with terrifying power, like a ball thrown by a giant, crushing the atmosphere.
Helmut aimed the tip of his sword. The pitch-black pupils stare piercingly at the enemy. Perfect posture without an inch of confusion.
A crack was visible in the mass of demon energy flying towards him.
A sprout of darkness within the body, in the heart. Demonic energy spreads out from there. A tiny gap penetrates the inside amidst the rushing demon energy!
It was a loophole that all beings in this world had. It becomes one point and is cut down. Helmut’s sword moved in a straight line like lightning.
Quasak! The sound of something dull being cut was heard. She was so quiet all around.
Helmut stood there. In front of him, the circular body separated into left and right sides.
The body, split in two, passed Helmut and rolled to both sides. Crash!
As if the steam had disappeared, the movement of the torso, which was billowing with black smoke, disappeared. he is dead
Helmut quietly put his sword into his waistband. As the leader died, I felt the few remaining petty monsters quickly running away.
It was a complete victory that Helmut achieved with his own hands. A brief feeling of elation filled his chest.
I feel good. To fight and win.
Helmut enjoyed victory. How long did you endure for this moment?
“Helmut!”
The Face mercenaries were rushing in late. Helmut’s lips moved.
“It’s over.”
An indifferent voice came out. The members of the Face Mercenaries who ran in front of him looked in astonishment when they discovered the monkey monster’s body.
“Yes, you did it?”
“You killed this guy by yourself?”
“Okay, let’s check around.”
Helmut said, shaking his chin as if it was no big deal.
The face mercenaries, who had been dazed, immediately came to their senses. They immediately began exploring the surroundings.
I thought they would hold out until they arrived, but Tariq’s mercenaries suffered damage that was close to annihilation in a very short period of time.
All that remains is the carriage. The corpses of monsters and Tariq’s mercenary members were all mixed up in random places.
Fuen looked around and said.
“Looking at the situation, the battle line has become disorganized. “That’s why I couldn’t resist properly and ended up like this.”
“Either die running away or die fighting.”
“I can’t see any second-level mercenaries?”
“It looks like they left everything behind and ran away. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“You guys have no sense of loyalty or responsibility.”
The members of the Face mercenary group talked with uncomfortable faces.
No matter how much they betrayed themselves and left, they couldn’t have felt comfortable when their fellow mercenaries were killed in such a mess.
Moreover, the main culprits, Paul and Max, had already been eliminated.
Uther shouted as he looked around the carriage.
“There’s someone under the carriage!”
One level 4 mercenary from Tariq’s mercenary group survived. In fairly good condition.
Because he was unconscious, it seemed like the monsters couldn’t sense his presence.
match! When I pulled him out and slapped him, he seemed to have come to his senses and got up in shock.
“Lord, are you dead?”
When he saw the Face mercenaries he thought were dead, he seemed confused as to whether this was the real world. He came to his senses after Utter hit him several times on the head.
“You bastard, you think you’re lucky. “I must have used up all my luck here.”
Uther declared.
“Isn’t that the same for us?”
Sean muttered and walked towards the person lying on the ground on the other side. He placed his hand in front of his nose to check his condition and immediately shouted.
“We found one survivor here too!”
He was a person from the Butan Company whom the monkey monster threw away to Helmut. I was thrown to the ground so hard that it wouldn’t be surprising if I died, but I think I was lucky to survive.
“The breath is still attached, but it looks like it’s broken in a few places.”
“Where is the breathing?”
“Hey, coward! Come and take this guy away. “If you survive, you have to pay for food.”
“Who’s scared… … !”
Pin, who had been stabbed by a lever, tried to scream, but then closed his mouth.
The level 4 mercenary of Tariq’s mercenary group came to his senses and quickly approached him.
“f*ck, everyone was still alive until yesterday.”
Maros muttered confusedly. Helmut pointed to the carriage that had fallen on its side.
“We should look there too.”
When I arrived here, I felt the presence of a living person in the carriage. She would still be alive if she hadn’t died of a heart attack.
The carriage had fallen on its side and you had to climb up the wall to see inside. Tanya shouted as she climbed onto the carriage.
“There’s one person alive here!”
Miles had fainted. He experienced extreme fear as he watched the Butan Company members being put alive one by one into the monster’s stomach.
No matter how experienced a merchant he was, he could not remain calm in the face of a cruel death.
“Shall I wake you up?”
Puen thought for a moment and then waved his hand.
“Leave it alone for now. The client needs to be spared. “I’m the one who will give you money.”
“That client is the one who decided to abandon us and get rid of us?”
“That is something to consider later. Look at that expression. “You have to be sober before you even talk about money.”
Before I met him, I thought I wanted to beat him up, but when I saw him fainting with his face completely white, I felt a little pity for him.
“After seeing the condition of the carriage, I have to move the luggage from the broken carriage.”
“Do you think you plan to continue with the request?”
Tanya asked. Although there were no injuries, this was the first time I had ever received a request in which both my mind and body were overworked to the limit. I want to go back and melt my body in the hot water.
“Nothing will happen if you give up on the request.”
Puen stared at the stunned Miles.
“First of all, I’ll have to discuss it with Miles.”
“Okay, anyway, we can’t stay here any longer, so let’s quickly settle things down and move somewhere.”
Everywhere was full of blood and corpses. Because the temperature in the forest is low, it is still too early for it to rot, but it will start to smell bad in a little while.
Puyen applauded and attracted attention.
“Okay, everyone. Let’s stop checking for survivors and get ready to leave! “If there are any monster corpses that are still intact, let’s collect some.”
Helmut, who was watching the mercenaries bustling about, made a noise.
“Oh my.”
“Why, what is it?”
Everyone reacted sensitively to Helmut’s mumbling. As if some big problem had occurred. Helmut said with a serious expression.
“Big guy, I cut out the core. “It would be money.”
I kept thinking in my head that I had to rescue the monkey monster’s body, but as I tried to kill it quickly, I instinctively cut it down to its core. The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it.
Tanya looked at Helmut uncertainly and responded with an embarrassed expression.
“Well, wouldn’t there still be some useful parts left? Finn, go take a look!”
“Um, me?”
“Yes, you. “Go quickly and see if there’s anything you can salvage!”
“Ac, I understand.”
Even though it was already dead, Finn seemed very scared and hesitantly walked towards the monkey monster that had been cut in half.
