My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields

#5 Beast Hunt (5)

There were four figures running through the snowy mountain.

Last among them, Lutten, who was wary of the surroundings with his sword drawn, chewed it up.

‘To rot… ! You’re surrounded.’

Even if you die soon, you are a knight. As much as he reached the level of being able to read and use the flow of mana, he was able to access more information than hunters with just one gun.

There are beings who are narrowing the siege right now.

Judging from the disposition of a non-human monster, savage mana, it is certain that it is not the Caliso Wolf that I heard in the first report.

In addition, the number is five.

‘I can’t arrive on time.’

It was just entering the first valley, but Lutten knew it.

That those monsters were playing with him.

It would be right to see that they are giving pressure with the concept of play.

I understand now.

The reason why there were no deaths despite the fact that the village they arrived in was so ruined.

Also, the reason why the cross section of the cut wooden fence was particularly neat.

‘It was Blade Wolf… !’

From noble mtl dot com

The enemy is a high-level demon servant, Blade Wolf.

If he was vicious even among the Witchbeasts, he was the second most powerful among the saddest.

Took-

Lutten stopped walking.

The hunters also sensed it and stopped to look back at him.

“Knight? Why?”

Rutten laughed bitterly at the hunter’s question as if he didn’t know why.

“Can you go to the village first?”

“Yes, yes? what the hell is that… .”

“We are surrounded by the Witchbeasts.”

Suddenly, the hunters’ bodies trembled.

Those who raised their eyes in disbelief eventually realized that Lutten’s words were not lies through his unusual expression.

The immediate reaction was fear.

The fact that Lutten ordered the flight first, rather than a confrontation, meant that his superiority and inferiority with the enemy was so certain.

Without a second thought, Lutten’s intent was to become a bait himself.

“Then, what are you going to do, knight? ?”

“Anyone should live and inform the town of the change. That way you can get support or whatever.”

It wasn’t just that reason.

“Besides, the captain and his wife are still in the cabin, so how do we know if the departed witches will head there?”

Even apart from being the client, Lutten did not have such a nasty temper that he would throw his friend as food for the beast, saying that he would live alone.

‘He’s such an annoying friend.’

It’s been like this before, but it always gets involved in dangerous things and puts people in trouble.

The only difference is that the possibility of a miracle happening this time is as low as before.

Perhaps this could have been the end of Lutten’s eventful life.

“Yeah, but… .”

Even though they are restless, the look of the hunters who can’t bear to leave is just daunting and difficult.

Lutten patted his armor and grinned.

“Don’t worry. I forgot, I’m a knight. When it comes to Gideon’s divinity, Lutten, everyone wakes up and raises a glass of wine.”

“Knight… .”

“A knight.”

Rutten said with a deliberately strong accent.

“They protect the weak, follow the example of warlords, and pursue honor and justice. Please don’t embarrass me.”

The hunters’ expression subsided quite a bit.

There is already an atmosphere of mourning.

The hunters, who had been crying, soon lowered their heads and put their fists on their hearts.

“… Please stay alive. I will definitely call for support.”

“Please.”

“yes!”

The hunters turned around and started sprinting over the snow field.

Lutten stared at them as they walked away, and only when the person’s figure turned into a small dot, he sighed and drooped his shoulders.

“Hey, you fucking boss.”

If you’re going to die, die alone.

Knuck Lutten smiled and turned around.

It was the direction in which the presence of the Witchbeast could be felt.

“Come out now.”

“Grrr… .”

Immediately, five Witchbeasts with gray-white manes jumped out from among the snow.

Blade Wolf is right.

The exceptionally long plucked toenails were proving it.

“It looks bloody.”

No, should I say that it looks ugly?

The savage wildness that cannot be hidden with a grayish-white mane makes the whole body numb.

It is also obvious why he waited to part with the hunters.

This is to minimize any possible injuries.

He knows that the combination of a knight and a matchlock is dangerous because he only likes the subject.

“It won’t work the way you want.”

Whoa!

Blue mana emanated from Lutten’s body and enveloped him.

Mana Flare.

After becoming a knight, it was the first body enhancement technique learned.

“At least one guy is definitely taken. You should know how to be afraid of humans.”

My fingertips trembled a little as the fear of death overtook me.

I make a louder noise in part to try to hide it.

Lutten confronted the beasts while holding the sword with both hands.

What comes to mind at that moment is the face of Elric, a close friend who returned to his hometown after 10 years, funny, but neither a family nor a lover.

‘I ask you to live a little bit harder.’

It was the moment when I started thinking about it.

seomjjat-

Goosebumps ran up his spine.

suddenly? why?

Such doubts arose, and eventually it was a group of demon beasts that were identified as the cause, but they were not the cause either.

Lutten was stunned.

‘Are you scared? Those?’

It was obvious that the magical beasts were also feeling the strange sensation that suddenly filled them up.

His mane stretched like a hedgehog, his body stiff and his breathing rough.

“Grrruk… !”

There was no more savagery in the cries.

It’s a situation I can’t quite understand.

Anyway, I don’t even know where this terrifying sensation that froze the whole body came from, but the level is enough to frighten even the beasts.

Rutten’s thinking was in one direction.

‘no way… .’

Did a stronger predator come here?

Could it be that the master from deep in the mountains has come out?

Even though it is cold here, cold sweat runs down my cheeks.

My body started to shiver for a reason separate from the cold.

That was the moment.

“Huh! I just found it!”

A voice echoed through the space.

It was a relaxed voice that did not suit the tense atmosphere at all, and at the same time it was a voice very familiar to Lutten.

With a creak, Lutten’s head turned.

Soon, a look of disbelief took over his face.

“… Leader?”

“Luton! Glad I’m not too late!”

Elric stood still and grunted.

His hand was clenched into a fist and was beating his right knee.

“Ugh, when I was in my prime, running like this was nothing, but getting old is scary. No, is it because of the injury?”

Seeing him talking nonsense, he really is Elric.

The possibility of being a ghost or a demon wearing his skin is even lower.

Lutten’s thinking began to be colored with embarrassment.

“Uh, why… .”

Are you here?

Rather, how did you get here?

The words get stuck in your throat.

In the end, all Lutten could do was pout his lips.

In the meantime, Elric approached Lutten with a deeper smile as if he had nothing to do with his surroundings.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

Degur Lutten’s eyes turned.

From the moment Elric appeared, the magic beasts were hardened as if they were stone statues and were unable to show any reaction.

What it means is self-evident.

Elric was the culprit behind the whole situation.

For a moment, Lutten felt that Elric was very far away.

No, to be precise, I was overwhelmed by his presence.

Should I say it feels like looking up at the unreachable sky?

It would be correct to say that it is a level of awe at the gap so far that one cannot even dare to envy.

“Um… .”

Elric laughed, rubbing the back of his neck as if in trouble.

“Actually, when I heard that you were in danger, I rushed at it and came all the way here. this… I’m in a bit of a predicament.”

“Gon… what?”

“Yes, difficult situation. I’ve had some accidents for 10 years. A little or a lot of people targeting me? Yes.”

It was completely incomprehensible.

It was right after that that Lutten realized his intention.

Elric asked in a serious voice.

“So let’s talk. Can you pretend you didn’t see what’s happening from now on?”

For some reason, it was a powerful voice.

Lutten nodded blankly, as if possessed by magic.

Then Elric’s face became brighter and more comfortable.

“Ah, thank you! I’ll take care of it right away!”

That was the end of the range that Lutten could understand, albeit with difficulty.

What happened after that wasn’t the case.

abruptly-

The scenery twisted along with the sound.

The five demons, nearby trees, falling snowflakes and wind split at once.

It was a single solid line drawn horizontally.

It was seen as an art of cutting the space itself by twisting the top and bottom in the exact opposite direction, and also as a skill of cutting things on the line.

There was one reason I wasn’t sure.

Because I didn’t see how it happened.

What Lutten understood was the only cause of the conversation with Elric and the result of everything in a straight line being cut.

In his perception, Elric only made eye contact with himself while smiling gently from the beginning to the end of the incident.

Do-do-do-do-do-

Leaving behind a piece of meat that had split in half and fell to the floor, Elric said with a deep smile.

“Now, I will go back to the cabin, so tell me you went to the village and dealt with the beast. ah! Excuse me for having to stage a desperate fight! Only a few shallow cuts on you!”

Lutten gaped blankly as if he had become an idiot.
