Another World Warrior Who Uses a Shop

The paladin does not back down

Hyeonjun was running through the sewers with the guards and platoon leader Otto. While the entire city was being controlled, Hyeon-jun, running around with blood flowing down his face, looked suspicious to anyone, and there was no way the guards would let Hyeon-jun go without Karios’ sword and armor. There was a brief scuffle, and when Hyun-joon tried to break through, even using force, a man intervened. He was a guard who shouted in front of the temple and was in charge of the platoon leader.

“I vouch for his identity. I saw him in the temple. He doesn’t have it now, but he definitely had Karios-sama’s sword and armor.”

Hyeonjun gave a brief explanation of what was going on in the sewer and moved again. At that time, Otto and his guards said they would follow.

“The situation is urgent. You won’t be able to keep pace.”

“I’ll follow you somehow, so don’t worry and leave quickly. And we are the soldiers protecting Scanden. I cannot back down.”

I thought he was nervous in front of the temple and took out anger on the people around him, but surprisingly he was a true soldier with a sense of mission to protect the city. He didn’t budge even when he talked about the danger. It was the same for his platoon members, and although there were many clumsy recruits, they all agreed to follow Otto. Of course, even if Hyeon-jun is in a bad condition, there is no way an ordinary person can match his speed and endurance. In addition, as the phantom pain gradually disappeared and the speed started to pick up, the guards began to fall behind. Even in the midst of this, the platoon leader Otto and the six guards followed until the end while sticking out their tongues.

“Whoops, whoops, whoops.”

“Just a little further.”

The guards didn’t even answer because they ran all the way, except for a brief moment when they entered the sewer and lit a lantern. It wasn’t that their stamina was weak. It is not enough to receive praise for being able to keep moving even after wearing the armor and running at full power for over 10 minutes. It is impossible for an ordinary person to run while vomiting at the stench of the sewage system.

Hyeonjun furrowed his eyebrows at the ominous energy that he could now clearly feel. It’s infinitely small compared to what I felt in Bimarn, but my body still trembles when I think of the pain I felt when I touched it. As he ran, shaking off his fear, he heard a faint voice in his ears.

“for a moment.”

“Kheuk, heuh, heh, whoop, whoop.”

“Please be quiet.”

“Kuh, huh…”

Through the gasps of the guards, the sound came again. Hyeonjun hurriedly ran to the place where he heard the sound.

“Brother…”

“Priest Zilenai!”

Zilenai was drowning in sewage, barely holding on with one arm to keep from being washed away. Hyunjoon grabbed his arm and pulled him up at once.

“mmm…!”

Zilenai groaned in agony. Hyeon-jun looked at him and saw that his left arm was completely distorted along with the shield, and blood continued to flow down the helmet. Still, a faint red aura shimmered through his body, as if he was being treated with divine power.

“What happened?”

Zilenai mumbled for a while and then vomited blood. Surprised, Hyeon-jun hurriedly tried to check his condition, and Jillenai gasped.

“It only comes out as the wound heals…”

After a while, Zilenai, who seemed more comfortable, began to speak in a low voice.

“I found the place where the children were, but I was attacked by the guys guarding the front.”

“Where are you?”

“It is that way. But I’m not sure how far I’ve been afloat. It must have broken once in the middle…”

Hyeon-jun took out the remaining potion from the bag at his waist when Zilenai’s eyes kept blinking as if they were about to close, and poured it into his mouth and said,

“How many enemies are there?”

“It was four. These are non-human things. I killed one, cut off one’s arm, but couldn’t kill it. I was hit hard and fell into the sewage and was able to save my life.”

Hyunjoon’s face hardened. Combat Priests are like tanks in modern times. It is unusual to drive him to death with only four people. To be honest, it is difficult for Hyeon-jun to fight alone and seize victory.

“You become acutely aware of your own powerlessness…”

Zilenai murmured weakly and lowered her head.

“Don’t worry. The guards will definitely rescue the children.”

In the meantime, Otto, who had regained his breath, spoke confidently to Zilenai. There was a firm conviction and a sense of duty in his eyes. Hyeonjun calmly foretold the possibility. Can you win with 7 guards? Zilenai is a master. But even he would have no way to use his hands to surround and attack with the four of them. Rather, the fact that he killed one and cut off the arm of the other shows how excellent his inaction is. In combat, work plus work is not teeth. It can be as big as three or four.

‘Even if the guards hold on to one, it’s worth trying.’

“Brother, take my sword and armor.”

“Priest.”

“If you don’t have holy power or mana, it’s hard to inflict big damage on them. And the armor, in case you are exposed to their power…”

“I’ve already been through it. I thought you were going to pee.”

Hyunjoon smiled and said. His armor was distorted and full of scars, but it didn’t lose its luster and looked clean, as if it had just been cleaned. Hyeon-jun carefully took off Zilenai’s armor. The armor on his left arm was completely dented and couldn’t be removed, and now the armor on his lower body was dented and twisted, and it seemed that he couldn’t take it off. In the end, Hyeon-jun received and wore only Zilenai’s breastplate, armor on his right arm, and helmet, and hung his sword around his waist.

“I’m sorry about the guards. I only have one set of armor…”

“It’s okay. Because the guards have the armor of the guards.”

Otto grinned and punched his breastplate with his fist. Hyeon-jun put his armor on Zilenai and put the mace in his hand.

“You mustn’t die.”

“Do not worry. I will follow you soon.”

Hearing that vague answer, Hyeonjun gritted his teeth and spoke casually.

“If I die, Idelia will not be alone. Come to your senses and go help Idelia. We will also save the children and go straight to Idelia.”

At those words, Zilenai widened her eyes in amazement.

“Idelia, is Idelia here!”

He spoke trembling with fear, as if he had heard a story that could never happen. Hyeonjun nodded in embarrassment, and despair spread across Gillenai’s face.

“Priest, why…”

“Idelia must not be touched by that power.”

“Don’t you have divine power?”

“Ide’s body rejects divine power. If you touch the power of Tahman, holy power will arise and burn your body.”

“this···.”

Hyunjoon closed his eyes. Yes, while the priests were protecting the temple with their holy power, Idelia was curious as she stood outside. There was a reason the battle priests were so worried about Idelia, who had great power. I can’t decide what to do. You must choose between Ai and Idelia. If you save Idelia first, you don’t know what the kidnapper will do to the children in the meantime. On the other hand, Idelia may die while saving the children.

“Wouldn’t it be better to separate from us and act?”

At Otto’s words, Zilenai weakly shook her head.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t fight them without holy power or mana.”

At those words, Otto nodded and spoke calmly.

“Then wouldn’t it be natural to save the children first?”

“…”

Otto looked into Zilenai’s eyes and said.

“Isn’t that Idelia the priest who was blocking the entrance to the temple?”

“you’re right···.”

“The one who jumped into the trap alone to save the children.”

At those words, both Jillenai and Hyeonjun could not help but remain silent. Even if she was saved, would she be able to accept it if the children were not safe?

“You are right.”

said Zilenai, a little gloomy. Hyeonjun gritted his teeth in his complicated head. If Idelia dies, the quest’s failure is certain. It seems that the death of the children will not lead to the failure of the quest. Aren’t there already dead children? If you think about it calmly, you have to go rescue Idelia from here. Failing the quest leads to the loss of the store. It may be possible to use the store again in the future, but I can’t take a big risk. Here, Idelia takes precedence. But for some reason I can’t do that. It reminds me of Idelia’s hardened eyes.

‘A stupid bastard who can’t even take care of himself…’

“I will save the children. Priest, please recover as soon as possible and go to Idelia. It’s that way.”

“All right.”

Hyeon-jun started to run again after seeing Zilenai’s eyes, which were now clearly burning. The decision has already been made and there is no hesitation in taking action. The guards followed behind them.

“Please hold on to one of the three whose arm is said to have been cut off.”

“Are you okay?”

“It will probably be fine.”

“At that time, shouldn’t you speak confidently even if you don’t have confidence?”

“You can’t lie, can you?”

Hyeon-jun was running in the direction Zilenai pointed out, and then suddenly turned and entered the road next to him.

“Are you sure this is it?”

“yes. I’m sure.”

It was so faint that I almost missed it, but it’s the power of that Tahman or something. The closer you get, the clearer it becomes. I feel nauseous in no time. Not only because of its ominousness, but also because of the excruciating pain he suffered. Now even the guards could see them. It is a giant about 2.5 m tall. A cloth is wrapped around the body. Behind it is an iron bar. I can’t see it because the light doesn’t reach it, but there must be children.

“I’ll turn.”

Hearing the muttering of one of the guards, Hyeon-jun calmly examined them. The one on the far left is the one without arms. Hyeon-joon shot out like an arrow to the right with a great expression.

“I believe!”

“Scatter and besiege! Never try to stop it, just run away!”

Even in the eyes of the guards, he is not the kind of guy who would fight head-on. While Hyeon-Jun rushed, the guards approached the armless guy and clapped around, drawing attention.

thud!

“Huh!”

“Newcomer, get out of the way!”

“yes!”

As he swung his only arm, one of the guards quickly stomped on the floor to avoid it. It’s a good thing he only has one arm. I was able to avoid it because I could see him staggering while pulling his arm. For bipedal humans, even if their wrists are cut off, balance becomes difficult. But since such a giant had one arm cut off, it couldn’t be easy to balance. Even though he swings his fist, he can’t overcome his own strength and barely stands still. But its power and speed are unreal. I saw a staggering posture, but no one saw me swinging. and that fist. That power that shatters the stone floor into powder. The moment you twist it, it will become minced meat. Otto sent the new recruit who had managed to follow him to the back and stood in front of him, drawing attention. He is a platoon commander, and as a boss who treats his subordinates like a dog, he is a man who takes responsibility for his subordinates’ lives.

“Suck!”

Hyeonjun’s longsword slid past the giant’s arm. The fabric was cut all the way, exposing the sore skin.

‘It’s not even scratched.’

Hyeon-jun threw his longsword away, avoiding the other giant’s fist. They only stir their limbs, but if there are four of them, they will block the space itself and crush it with force and speed. In that situation, Hyeon-jun drew Zilenai’s sword, realizing once again that Zilenai’s dance was truly brilliant. I didn’t buy the one-handed sword skill, but there’s no problem. There are parts that are connected to longsword swordsmanship, and swordsmanship is not needed for these guys in the first place.

He quickly pulled out and dug into the side of one. As if he lacks intellect, he just recklessly rushes towards Hyeon-jun, so he can easily create an advantageous situation. Even with his bare hands, he was tall and his arms were unusually long, so Hyun-jun had no choice but to give the first attack, but the timing and trajectory of the preparatory action, like a child’s fist, was perfectly read, so he was able to dodge and attack with ease. Hyeon-joon dodges the fist and at the same time supports the permal with his left hand and cuts the guy’s arm all the way, digging deeper.

supportive!

There was a burning sound as the sword cut deep into the man’s arm. My hands tremble from the fierce resistance. If I hadn’t supported the permal, I might not have been able to cut properly. Hyeonjun passed his arm and immediately grabbed the ricasso of the sword in reverse with his left hand and slashed the guy’s thigh with all his might. It dug deep into the flesh of the black guy’s thigh, hit it to the bone, and then pulled it to the side and slashed it out.

thud!

Leaving the unbalanced staggering giant behind, Hyeon-jun passed him without slowing down. After that, another giant’s heavy fist passed Hyeon-jun.

‘Even if you cut your leg like that, you won’t fall down. He’s a terrifying guy.’

Even though all of the muscles in the front of her thighs were cut off, she is still standing with that heavy weight. It seems unable to move properly, but is not incapacitated. Hyeon-joon circled around the crippled guy, avoiding the attacks of other giants and slowly cutting him down. First, I sliced off both of his arms so that he couldn’t move them, then dug his arms under the guy who was just swinging and cut off his other leg. Of course, I couldn’t cut it at all. Unlike Zilenai, who strengthens his strength with divine power, Hyeon-jun’s muscular strength did not escape the human category. The strength is not enough to sever a bone the size of a thigh.

thud!

When both legs were cut, he finally collapsed. Hyeon-jun lured another giant while keeping his distance from the guy who was floundering on the floor. After that it was easy. I passed by the bridge, cut deeply several times, and hit the neck to avoid the fallen man’s arms. Its neck was so thick that it took a good four cuts to completely cut it off.

‘I didn’t stop moving until my neck completely fell off. The vitality is not normal.’

Hyeonjun immediately ran to the guy the guards were holding onto. The guards surrounded him, spitting curses and attracting attention.

“Bastard! It’s here! Ahh!”

“It’s here! here!”

“hey! Go that way!”

“Sick! Catch it!”

“Don’t get your mind right! This is a joke!”

“Ah, the platoon commander is also having fun, so please stop doing that.”

“Be prepared to eat the soil of the parade ground after it’s over!”

“oh my···.”

Surprisingly, the guards were holding him at ease. He hit the floor, picked up the fragments, hit his head, drew attention, and ran away in a hurry. The one-armed giant was hit in the head and tried to stumble over while looking back, and while he looked back, he already ran away and threw a shrapnel at the back of his head. The giant barely manages to balance himself, looks back, then stumbles back and looks back, spinning in place.

While the giant was looking back, Hyeon-joon dug in and cut off both legs at once, using the weight of the fallen man to pierce the back of his neck with a knife and cleverly pull it to cut off his neck bone.

“Hey, that’s amazing.”

Ignoring the sound, Hyeon-jun ran to the barricade after making sure to finish the man struggling with his limbs hacked up. I see children lying down in the dark. Hyeonjun checked the iron bars. This time there was no lock, just a bolt, so I didn’t have to break the door down. You wouldn’t have thought it would take a lock to keep four of these monsters at bay. When I open the door and see the children, their complexion is bad and they are sweating, but fortunately there are no major injuries.

“Please take care of the children.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I have work to do.”

“Okay. Good luck.”

Otto nodded and started carrying the children outside with the guards. Hyeonjun looked at it for a moment and then ran through the sewer again. I hope Idelia does well, but I can still feel that ominous energy. Things don’t look very good. Hyeon-joon ran through the dark sewer without even a lantern and tried to shake off his rising anxiety.
