Yikes!
Gack!
Ack!
I’m sorry for suddenly making such strange noises.
But this was all I could do right now.
Its attacks were several tis faster than the attacks the doppelganger had spewed earlier.
Of course, there was no way I could see and react to them.
Nevertheless, the reason I could avoid them was because of the ti stop ability.
I confird where the attack was coming from within 1 second and dodged it.
A deadly set of acrobatics ensued where even the slightest error would send straight to the grave.
Naturally, as the acrobat who had beco that, all I wanted to do was run away right now.
“You’re an artist when it cos to avoiding.”
“…”
“But you can’t win by just avoiding. You know that, right?”
It kept making grating remarks in between, but I could easily endure them.
I was aware that I was an easy prey.
There was no pride to be hurt.
But it wasn’t like I was only avoiding the attacks.
While dodging the attacks, I was reading its attack patterns from ti to ti.
The first thing that stood out was the cooldown.
It wriggled for a few seconds after launching an attack.
Of course, from my perspective, attacking at that mont was a life-risking move.
So I had no choice but to move carefully.
I couldn’t even tell if my attack would work right away.
On the other hand, there was one thing for sure.
Its attacks could shatter my body into pieces.
Ah, I want to go ho.
Damn it.
Moreover, its attacks had been becoming much more varied since earlier.
For example, it would throw spikes from the front, but in fact, it was waiting with a trap dug in the ground.
If it weren’t for the 1-second cooldown, I would have undoubtedly been hit by that attack and lost my life.
In a situation that felt like I had beco a pufferfish, the only thing that ca out was tears.
However, in any situation, only blaming others can never be called professional.
No matter what happened, I was now the commander of the Royal Knights.
Even if I was just a commander in na only.
I had to do whatever I could do.
So that I could step down without sha when I retired.
With my mind made up, I ran forward.
Of course, it counterattacked.
Once again, everything turned gray.
Seeing the silver spear that had stopped in front of my eyes again, my heart felt chilled.
But how many deaths had I seen so far?
If I were to stop at this level, I wouldn’t have even started.
I dodged its attack by a paper-thin margin.
There wasn’t enough ti to move my body any further.
As expected, its attack passed over … Wait, what?
It was smiling even though the attack had missed.
Sensing a chill there, I stopped ti again.
Of course, there was no ti to even look back.
It was less than 1 second.
Stopping ti again was the right answer.
When I turned my head, the silver spear that had passed over was aiming at Ambassador Viral.
Oh, this damn… Oh my gosh.
If I had made a wrong move, Viral would have lost his life.
I expressed relief and dismay at the sa ti.
I had already stopped ti for more than 1 second.
Naturally, the ti stop cooldown was also ticking.
In other words, if I didn’t finish off that guy properly this ti, I’d die from the next attack.
Even though it wasn’t an exaggeration this ti, I was surprisingly calm.
I calmly racked my brain.
“Yeah, this is it.”
As the wise n of old said, if the situation is unfavorable, make the terrain advantageous.
I noticed the castle’s foundation crumbling due to the ongoing battle.
I decided to use the fragnts falling from the ceiling first.
Of course, I couldn’t reach them with my hands.
While looking for any thod, I found a desk and chairs nearby.
I roughly brought the desk and stacked the chairs on top of it.
Then, I could reach the fragnts to so extent.
I clung to the huge fragnt hanging from a horizontal bar.
Kwang!!
The fragnt fell and crushed its silver spear.
At the sa ti, cracks appeared on the ground.
Good, I think this is enough for now.
The next thing is the main body.
For a mont, I considered using ti acceleration.
But I soon gave up on it.
The pain of my internal organs being torn apart was no joke.
Unless it was a really extre situation, I didn’t want to use that at all.
Then there was no other way.
I drew my sword and stabbed it with all my might.
Kwaaaak!!
Fortunately, the sword didn’t bend.
But it didn’t pierce properly either.
Rather, I was pushed back by its strength.
It felt like stabbing a sword into a solid rock.
My only hope was that since it was a sword imbued with a blessing, it could at least make a cut.
Sawing didn’t suit its body’s attribute very well.
Then the only option was to use an awl.
I grabbed the sword with both hands and diligently stabbed it.
If I persistently dig into one spot, an answer will co out eventually.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Soone, no.
The majority of people would say we were evil.
And that was not wrong either.
I had no intention of making excuses for each and every one of them.
But that didn’t an I regretted it.
I’d say it proudly.
We betrayed to survive.
Of course, there were those who opposed the chief’s will.
No matter what, how could we betray our own race and even the continent?
Surprisingly, the fact that they were the majority was really astonishing.
Didn’t we suffer persecution together?
Didn’t we experience hell together?
Then why could they still have such weak thoughts?
That in itself was also appalling.
The bane of the continent.
Beings that shouldn’t exist.
Cursed monsters.
Being called that and receiving contempt.
Not receiving any protection.
Then why didn’t they harbor a desire for revenge?
I didn’t understand, but they were still our race.
I respected them in my own way.
I buried them together with those who kept making excuses.
They shouldn’t have any more complaints.
Weak ones were no longer needed in the future the chief was creating.
“TK7 GMAA EDP KKEP…”
“It’s definitely the right thing to do. Rotten flesh must be cut out.”
If you try to hold onto it, you’ll rot and decay just the sa.
And in fact, that’s what happened.
To the demons, we were just disposable consumables.
They gave the chief the fancy title of a blood demon. And in return, they demanded results.
If unsatisfactory results were produced, they would be purged on the spot.
That was the price we paid.
I had no complaints about that either.
In the first place, I didn’t think the life of a traitor would be easy.
So I did my best to survive.
For the past hundreds of years, without rest, continuously.
Nevertheless, we survived.
And I was confident that we would survive this ti too.
Until I faced that man.
I prided myself on having speed that surpassed even decent demons.
However, none of my attacks reached that man.
As if playing with he kept avoiding them by a paper-thin margin.
If it weren’t for the dwarf behind him I would have been the one who got hit instead.
He lured the attacks to protect the dwarf behind him.
Knowing that, I had no choice but to take the hit.
Because if the thing to protect disappeared, the next would be my turn.
“You’re an artist when it cos to avoiding.”
“…”
“But you can’t win by just avoiding. You know that, right?”
No response to provocation.
Well, he was performing a stunt where even the slightest failure would cost his life as if it was nothing.
Provocation wouldn’t work on such an iron-willed ntality.
As expected, that man was dangerous.
I absolutely couldn’t send him to the chief.
Once my mind was made up, there was only one answer.
I had to sohow inflict a fatal wound on that man by using bait.
Giving a bone to take a bone.
In a word, a resolve of mutual destruction.
From the beginning, I had vowed to risk my life to protect the chief’s back. And that applied to as well.
He easily dodged the silver spears pouring forth.
But I already knew that.
What I was aiming for from the beginning was the dwarf behind him.
For a very short mont, but that man would have noticed.
Now, what will you do?
The mont you save that dwarf.
You will die with your whole body pierced along with that dwarf.
If you abandon the dwarf, then I will risk my life. And sohow inflict a fatal wound on you.
I thought it was a perfect plan.
Until my spear was crushed by the fragnts.
My spear was fast, but not strong.
So it was neutralized in an instant.
When did that get there?
I was not an idiot who couldn’t even grasp my surroundings.
Clearly, before the fragnts even fel my spear could have taken the life of that dwarf.
Very easily at that.
But suddenly, fragnts fell from the sky and crushed my spear.
And only then did I realize what that man had done!
But the mont I realized that, I belatedly noticed that the man had disappeared from in front of .
At the sa ti, I felt sothing greatly penetrating my body.
Yeah, so that was how it was.
The overwhelming speed that even my eyes couldn’t dare to follow.
And the boldness to protect the dwarf while simultaneously aiming for the enemy’s neck, and the strategy to skillfully utilize the terrain.
I lowered my head.
I saw that my heart area had been penetrated.
Perhaps my defeat was decided from the beginning.
I had no choice but to acknowledge what I must acknowledge…
It was my complete defeat.
Whether in skill or strategy.
