I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

Chapter 93

10. What Happened One Night – 11

Tonight, the night air in the Duke of Dekaraznan was extremely cluttered. Warning magic resounded loudly from all directions. It was conclusive proof that someone unknown had broken through the barriers spread over the mansion of the Duke of Dekaraznan and made an intrusion.

The duke’s knights couldn’t believe this situation at all. In the past thousand years, only a handful of intruders were able to infiltrate the Duke of Dekaraznan, one of the four major dukes of the empire, and there were only a handful of intruders capable enough to set foot in this place where countless mages always maintain a barrier. Intruders were even rarer.

But today, the myth of invincibility that Dekaraznan boasted about has been shattered. The masked intruder did not dare to infiltrate the Duke of Dekaraznan’s house with dirty mud feet, and in one hand he was stroking a woman who was hanging limply with that sinister hand as if it were a trophy.

“…Lady Sernard!”

The duke’s knights screamed after finding out who the woman had been kidnapped by the intruder. Shockingly, for some reason, that mysterious assailant had to commit the wrathful act of abducting a frail girl without any power. Furthermore, Sara Sernad is one of the valuable guests currently being welcomed by the Duke of Dekaraznan. If you let go of her hands and allow her to be kidnapped like this, the honor of the Duke of Dekaraznan will fall to the ground!

“Strike!”

Knights attack the kidnapper, who kidnapped Sarah Cernard and is about to disappear. The joint attack, aiming at the intruder’s blind spot and aiming at his side, front and rear, left and right, could be said to be a perfect pincer attack with no way to escape.

But it was shallow. The intruder’s skills were truly astonishing. In an instant, the intruder drew his sword with one hand and entangled his sword like a snake with the knight’s sword aiming at his left side.

Chireuk-

“…!”

The knight, realizing that the intruder’s sword and his own sword were sticking together as if it were a magnet, was momentarily taken aback. And without missing the gap, the kick like a whip hit the knight’s temple squarely.

Quaang-!

Without losing sight of the knight who lost consciousness due to the intruder’s kick, the intruder kicked the air and overturned the new model twice in the air. And a second later, the swords that the knights had thrown emptyly passed through the empty space where he had just been. The deadly pincer attack of the four knights went back to nothing just like that.

“Unbelievable!”

That wasn’t the end. The intruder once again spun around in the air and kicked both legs firmly as if there were footholds in the air. In the next moment, the intruder’s sword, which had been pulled back tightly, exploded like a beam of light toward the knights.

Kwaang-!

A trail of dazzling light that ignites the wicked darkness crosses the air. Along with the bluish light, a mighty gale is accompanied, and a shock so strong that they cannot stand on their own two feet is transmitted to the knights.

“Aagh!”

Unable to handle the destructive power of the intruder’s sword, the knights were thrown out. The time it took for the knights attacking him to become incapacitated was at most 3 seconds. In that short time, which is not an exaggeration to say that it was just a moment, everyone present could not hide their groans as they realized that all four knights who attacked him had been neutralized.

“…was he someone who had reached the realm of a Master?”

It must have been. It was clear that the brilliant light that had just leaked from the intruder’s sword was an aura, a supreme power that was said to be attainable only by those who had reached the limit of martial arts. It was only then that the knights in this seat realized that the intruder standing in front of them was indeed a warrior who had reached a state of admiration.

And the intruder did not feel the need to correct the misunderstanding of the knights who mistook this aura he was spreading for an aura. No matter what its true identity was, what it was unfolding was quite similar to an aura.

“Don’t back down! No matter what the state of the enemy is, that person is the one who directly went against Dekaraznan’s will! Keep in mind that the honor of Dekaraznan hangs behind your back!”

As the knights backtrack, intimidated by the intruder’s formidable inaction, a ferocious voice scolds them from behind them. When the intruder raised his eyes and looked, behind the knights was Princess Noel von Decraznan, fully armed, gazing at the intruder with blazing eyes.

‘…A princess.’

The intruder, that is to say Cain, sighed softly as he looked at the face of the princess who seemed quite angry. In case this might happen, I wanted to get out of Dekaraznan Mansion quickly, but I never imagined that the reaction of the knights was unexpectedly quick, and that a person of the princess level would appear in person in such a situation.

“…Ka, Cain…”

Sarah, who had been lying unconscious in Cain’s arms, narrowed her eyes and looked at him, slightly shrinking her body as if anxious. Without saying a word, Cain pulled Sarah into his arms and then began charging toward them.

Shuk-

“cheeky! Don’t back down!”

Shouting so, the princess pulled out the sword from her waist and took the lead in approaching the intruder. The knights who gained strength from this also regained their momentum and began to follow the princess with their swords raised at once.

“Hmm.”

However, Cain’s face did not move at all. However, he only sighed that work had become a little troublesome.

– Arya, back up, please.

Sending such a message to Aria, Cain held out the sword in his hand straight ahead, looking at the various weapons embroidered in the air with him as a target.

Phage-!

The next moment, the aura on Cain’s sword greatly expanded its power, and soon began to burn like flames. Eventually, as he took a step forward and cut through the space horizontally, the weapons attacking him were soon cut cleanly.

‘Three from the left, five from the right. Two from the back.’

There was no need to look back to see the enemy. The airflow of the battlefield, which he read through the ‘Flowing Star’, was bringing him more accurate information than any other sense.

Cain’s body changes completely. As he swings his sword while rotating clockwise with his right foot as an axis, the energy of his aura spreads around the battlefield like a storm. No one in this room knew, but it was Cain’s own twist on the calendar month of the ‘twilight moon’.

Kirilling-

“Keugh!”

Indeed, at his one move, which could be described as a unified battle and defense, the knights around him hesitated without daring to disrespect the energy.

Don’t miss the opportunity. After condensing the ‘flow’, release it in an instant on the back. The vortex swirls violently, and his body shoots forward like a cannonball. When the knights came to their senses, they realized that his figure was already right in front of their noses.

“…!”

After turning the sword half a turn in his hand, Cain strongly intercepted the jaws of the knights around him with the handle of the sword. Aim didn’t. Adjusting the flow, I inflicted blows on them just enough to knock them out of their minds. There was no grudge against the knights of the Duke of Dekaraznan. There was no need to kill them anywhere.

fluff.

The new model of the knights around Cain is crumbling one after another. To an uninformed person, it was a truly bizarre sight, as if Cain had just passed by, and the knights had lost consciousness and collapsed on their own.

And seeing the intruder’s astounding inaction, the knights around them couldn’t help but admire the enemy’s skill. Although he was an enemy, the author deserved respect. It’s not perfect, and he’s showing off his amazing skills while holding the kidnapped woman in his arms with one hand, and with one arm sealed!

‘This should be enough.’

Anyway, Cain’s purpose was not to fight swords with them. If this had been done, the hounds that roamed around Sarah would have been able to figure out that an unknown assailant had kidnapped her. After successfully escaping from the Duke of Dekaraznan, this was the start of the main story. At best, there was no need to exert excessive force in these places.

Cain let out a small sigh and gently looked at the situation around him in order to escape from this spot, gently applying strength to his toes.

But, that was the time.

“Everyone get away from him!”

Whee ae ae ae-!

Along with a gigantic piercing star, something like a twisting thunderbolt rushed toward Cain. Since the speed was so fast, Cain, who noticed the attack a step too late, hurriedly swung his sword at the black lightning attacking him.

aang-!

The sound of shaking from all directions vibrates the surroundings. He raised his head and confirmed the identity of the black lightning. It was a type of long sword boasting an abnormally long length. However, if there is a difference from a normal soft sword, it is composed of a mechanical device and has a sawtooth-like blade that is curved throughout the sword body, so it is a terrifying weapon that can make a person covered in blood even if it is touched even slightly.

‘Is this the famous black dragon version of the Duke of Dekaraznan?’

Come to think of it, I had heard of it. Rumor has it that in the Duke of Dekaraznan’s family, there is a black dragon version, one of the 8 great treasures on the continent, a sword that can compete with a warrior or a great wizard who has reached the level of a master just by its existence.

When I heard it as a rumor, I sneered at it, thinking it was just an exaggeration, but now that I see it, it seems that it was not an exaggeration at all. Even though he was fighting head-on with Auror in the matter of weapons at most, it wasn’t enough to boast of durability without a single damage, and the enormous boulder that was dormant in the black dragon’s side was still making his hands tingle.

‘I don’t think the princess was a warrior who reached the level of a master.’

Just by changing one weapon, you could temporarily gain enough strength to face him head-on, who boasts an incompetence close to that of a master! Indeed, it could not be a weapon of amazing performance worthy of being called the 8th major weapon on the continent.

Either way, he couldn’t underestimate the power of the princess holding the black dragon’s side, so Cain had no choice but to look more serious in his eyes and stance.

“Now you are looking this way. I’ve heard it hard to hear that warriors who have awakened their auras are arrogant, but among them, you seem to be quite special. To you, I must have seemed like a worm not even worthy of your attention, right?”

Even while the princess snorted and looked at herself, Cain’s mind was spinning in a complicated way. Just having a head-on collision with a gongnyeo at this place was a situation that should really be avoided. He had always come to save Sara, not because he was here to compete with the princess in martial arts.

“…Are you ignoring me?”

Perhaps thinking that the assailant ignored her, the princess’s eyebrows twitched once. And the next moment, a black tidal wave came crashing down on Cain with a terrifying sound.

Quaang-!

“Kuk!”

The Gongnyeo’s Black Dragon version was so strong and fast that even the ‘Flowing Star’ was only able to twist the orbit at the last moment. However, the gongnyeo’s black dragon version strikes Cain again, twisting its body as if it were a living creature.

Cheer la la rock-!

The black dragon’s side is wide open. A red aura starts to vibrate on the blade, and it embraces Cain and Sara as if they were a coiled snake with a strong whirlpool. If he gets hit by that attack, Cain will end up like a tomato that has been trampled underfoot.

‘Is this woman crazy?’

Apart from himself, how could he launch such a wide-ranging attack when he clearly knew Sarah was in his arms! It was at the time when Cain was making up his mind, saying that he would not be able to escape this moment unless he took out one of his hidden cards.

At that time, the princess felt it. From the sky behind the intruder, waves of terrifying magical energy are bursting out!

‘sniping!’

aang-!

It was almost the same time that the pure white flash of light that attacked the air attacked the princess, and the princess, feeling threatened, retrieved the black dragon piece and switched to a defensive posture.

rumble-

The power of the flash that attacked the princess was so strong that despite absorbing most of the impact around the black dragon, not only was she pushed back by a whopping 10 meters, but the ground in a radius of several meters was ripped off and turned upside down.

“…Keugh!”
