Just now.

“Captain, we are coming again. It’s two people this time.”

“two people? Aren’t you just a tourist?”

“I put a lot of luggage on the back of the horse.”

Listening to the subordinate’s report, the man took out a small telescope from his pocket and looked at the street. I saw two horses pulling a cart laden with goods heading towards Agrid’s estate.

And there is one merchant who is not sure if he is young or still a child.

The other was a beastman with tiger-like ears and a tail. Even pretending to be a mercenary.

“At any rate, I don’t think such a young fellow is transporting… … . Well, the mission is to loot all the merchants heading to the territory anyway. OK, let’s start.”

“yes!”

The man and 10 of his men put on masks and mounted the horses.

Eleven suspicious men wearing black robes and masks.

Soon after, they were able to approach the two targeted merchants as if covering them from behind.

and.

“Shoot!”

At the same time as the captain’s instructions, they took out small staffs from their arms and fired magic arrows.

Papa papa papa!

Dozens of magic arrows rained down on them.

Two merchants were seen flinching at the sudden attack.

‘He can’t even react properly.’

The captain laughed.

Occasionally, there are those who bring a skilled escort with them, but most of them are like this.

If you suddenly approach on horseback and cast magic, nine times out of ten you will ride the spirit. like right now

The moment I thought so.

“… … !”

The captain’s eyes widened.

One of the merchants stretched out his arm, and a black sword emerged from it.

If that was all there would be no surprise.

“Come!?”

The black energy that overflows generously from that sword.

If I wasn’t mistaken, the aura was obvious.

Cha Cha Cha Chang!

The man swung his sword and hit all the pouring magic arrows.

No matter how many dozens of shots, magic was just the foundation of the basics.

There was no way he could pierce the aura called the extreme of the sword.

“It’s a trap! Spread!”

Immediately the captain shouted. The men turned their horses’ heads in perfect order and scattered in all directions.

When I gave the order and looked ahead again.

“You are the captain.”

“… … !”

Seeing the black-haired merchant running side by side, cold sweat dripped down the back of the captain’s neck.

* * *

“Ran, chase the subordinates!”

“huh!”

Ran, who would normally have said something about not giving orders, answered obediently for some reason and chased after the masked subordinates.

Her eyes became completely like those of a beast pursuing prey, following them as they spread out.

In the meantime, Xian was running side by side with Captain Mask, holding a sword in one hand and a rein in the other.

“You guys! A knight of Agrid!”

“well.”

Instead of answering, Xian swung his sword.

The captain’s mask was frightened and lowered his head. Then he kicked one side of the horse.

Then the horse carrying him turned and widened the distance to the other side.

‘I can’t lose if I just increase the distance.’

Even in the midst of panic, the captain of the mask brandished his staff calmly.

The mana fired from there shot at the feet of Xian, who was about to come this way.

Kugoong! The ground there bulged up and instantly frightened Xian’s horse.

‘Wizards on horseback are much stronger than knights on horseback!’

He raised the corner of his mouth and prepared his magic again.

Rather, his usual theory was that the knight would have a chance if he was on the ground with both feet, but the wizard would be stronger if he was riding a horse.

Because it is impossible for a running horse to close the distance in an instant like a human foot.

Of course, from the point of view of the knights, it was a theory that would be strongly opposed, but anyway, at this moment, it seemed to fit.

In fact, Xian controlled the horse and tried to approach, but the distance between the two did not narrow.

“It’s over!”

The captain’s mask lit up his eyes and aimed his cane at Xian’s horse.

A halo of light shone from the tip of the staff, and it began to form sharp ice.

An ice arrow that can pierce a horse’s skull at once.

“Ravi.”

In contrast, Xian only spat out a single word.

put down the sword at the same time.

Captain Mask was puzzled by the sudden abandonment of his weapon, but it was already too late to do anything.

His magic will soon be completed… … .

At that moment, the sword he had placed flew like a shot.

Awesome!

“evil!”

The sword grazed the palm of the captain’s mask.

The palms ended in grazed wounds, but the staff was broken in two. With the magic I was preparing for.

‘What’s this!’

Seeing the unheard-of sword flying through the sky, the eyes of the masked captain widened.

At the same time, a sword floating in the air pierced his thigh.

“Keuk… … !”

He tried to dodge at all costs, but it was impossible to avoid Ravi while on horseback.

A secret sword that digs into the thigh.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his thighs.

have to endure

As long as you keep your word, a few scars are nothing. You can run away anytime.

But Xian would not let him endure.

“Ravi. cut.”

Xian’s voice instantly froze the back of the captain’s mask.

and.

Awesome!

“Kuaaa!”

The sword stuck in his thigh spun around and cut off the leg at once.

Tung!

He screamed as if the captain’s mask would tear and fell off the horse. He wasn’t a good enough guy to keep balance with one leg missing.

As he fell while running fast, his body rolled on the ground several times, raising dust.

A dull pain crept through his body, as if his whole body were about to break.

But none of the pain was less than the amputated leg.

“Help Ran.”

“yes!”

bigom.

This was the idea Xian had told Wilfried.

The flying sword shines freely in all kinds of restricted situations.

For example, this situation where the opponent or yourself quickly ride a horse and share airlift.

All right.

Xian turned his horse and came this way.

Captain Mask had no choice but to watch as the big sword was fired at his subordinates.

Behind the mask, his expression contorted with ferocity.

He placed a hand on his thigh and cast a spell of pain relief and regeneration.

‘That’s it… … If it weren’t for that weird artifact… … !’

In his eyes, it was only seen as an artifact.

A sword that freely flies through the sky and attacks enemies. It was definitely an artifact of A-class or higher.

Captain Mask, who laments that he was caught off guard by things and suffered unfairly.

However, Xian was not interested in his resentment.

Xian, on horseback, looked down at the captain’s mask.

In his hand was a sharp sword ring.

“You guys are the ones making a fuss around the fort’s territory.”

“… … I never thought there would be such a young knight in the Agrid estate.”

The captain’s mask gnashed his teeth.

I’m sure all the famous knights, including Wilfried, were checking, but I couldn’t have imagined that one of these young guys could use an aura.

It was a completely unpredictable situation.

Meanwhile, at that time, Ran approached, dragging 10 men tied with ropes.

“draft. I got them all.”

10 large adult males. It must have been a considerable weight, but Ran, who was dragging it, did not show any signs of difficulty.

On the other hand, hearing Ran’s words, Captain Mask’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“Sian Agrid!”

“I know you well.”

Cyan Agrid.

Son of Werfed Agrid. successor of the estate.

The captain’s masked eyes shook greatly.

Why the hell was he here, and that he was a swordsman who cast an aura because he was famous for being crazy.

None of this was incomprehensible to him.

“Which one did you miss?”

Watching him closely, Xian asked Ran.

“doesn’t exist. Your spirit was amazing.”

“Ugh!”

Ravi, the figure of the secret sword, hovered over Xian’s head as if he were proud of it.

also. The utilization of the flying secret sword was unrivaled.

It’s not an ability to use as a main like a black sword or spear, but as a secondary, it couldn’t be better than this.

Most of all, it was great that he could do things that ordinary prosecutors could never do.

You can freely attack opponents in the air, and even in situations where your body is inconvenient, such as on a horse, you can aim at enemies regardless.

“Come back.”

Xian put the copied sword wheel into the imprint and grabbed Ravi again.

Hwaa!

At the same time, an aura spread around him and put all the masked ones in the area.

Watching the energy of the night encroaching on their son-in-law, the masked men gulped down their saliva.

My whole body stiffened with unknown tension.

‘Ravi.’

‘yes.’

The first thing Xian did was to search for the aura of the warlock in them.

In the energy of the night that Xian spread, Ravi examined the energy flowing through their bodies in detail.

The bodies of the masked men hardened.

I felt like I was sticking my head into the jaws of an animal, and my spine felt cold.

They didn’t know it, but the feeling was very similar to what Xian felt in the space of the Demon Dragon King.

Although the intensity was much lower.

‘Ugh.’

Around that time, Ravi shook his head at Xian.

It meant that none of them were connected to the devil.

So, are you really just a good thief?

“we… … If you’re going to dig anything out of us, you’d better give up.”

The captain masked his breath and spoke.

He had been casting healing magic on his severed thighs since earlier, but in a place like this, there was no meaning beyond stopping the bleeding.

“okay?”

Awesome!

“Quaaagh!”

“Aagh!”

Xian swung his sword mercilessly.

His sword severed all the tendons in the ankles of the masked men.

I can’t possibly run away.

They weren’t black magicians, but they were criminals.

I will have to get involved.

“no use! If you did this… … town! Ugh!”

Xian took out a cloth and covered their mouths.

Then he tied the ropes that bound them to the back of the horse.

2-3 people per pill.

I grabbed the backs of the horses Xian and Ran were riding, and the horses they were riding, one by one, and hung them behind them as well.

“Ugh!”

“town!”

The masked guys jumped up and down, probably imagining what was going to happen behind them, but when the guys tied to the ropes jumped, they were nothing more than wriggling caterpillars.

“Let’s go to the manor for the interrogation.”

The masked people looked at Ran, not Xian, with cold eyes. I wonder if I’ll show mercy.

“Turn it off~”

But the only thing that came back from Ran was indifference.

Like a cat losing interest in its prey, she continued to stretch.

It had the same gruff expression as usual, but its tail waggled happily.

‘It’s been a while since I moved my body and it looks refreshing.’

Her expression was always either frowning a lot or frowning less, but her ears and tail moved in a variety of ways.

Since we’ve been together lately, I’ve been able to tell them apart.

After finishing the situation like that, after a while.

“mmm!”

“uuu!”
