#5 Beast Hunt (6)

Lutten felt possessed by a ghost.

That feeling lingered on as Elric cut and bruised himself, hacked up the Blade Wolf, and crushed all the neatly cut trees around him.

It was the same after that.

“Then let’s break up here. I will be waiting for you at the cabin.”

Even after Elric, who had said that, disappeared limping all the way, Lutten was dazed.

A throbbing sensation hits the whole body.

Crumpled armor makes movement uncomfortable.

The moment I put up with them and returned to the village,

From noble mtl dot com

“Hey, Knight!”

Only then did Lutten regain his senses to some extent at the hunters’ voices.

“ah… .”

“You are alive! But the look… .”

When the leader of the hunters made a tearful face, Lutten laughed awkwardly.

Certainly, there was no mirror, so it was impossible to see the face, but the body that could be seen by lowering the head had become like a person who had gone through a war.

Thinking about what to make an excuse for, Lutten finally answered that way.

“Nothing will come.”

“Nothing! Your injuries are so serious! What about witches? I did ask for support, but… .”

“I got it done. Blade Wolf.”

Damn, the bodies of the hunters stiffened.

Beyond surprise, an expression of amazement appeared on their faces.

“B, if it’s Blade Wolf… .”

“It’s that high-ranking magician. Besides, you said several… .”

“As expected, the article… .”

The buzz was not confined to the hunters.

Even the villagers began to look at Lutten like a male monster.

Lutten scratched his head, unable to explain this.

What comes to mind is Elric’s work sword.

It was an incomprehensible method that could neither be recognized nor reacted to.

‘Coming to think of it, I didn’t even lift a sword.’

Then with a cane? But is it possible to cut so neatly with a staff?

No, apart from that, how did Elric become so strong?

Certainly, even 10 years ago, he was uniquely strong among the village children.

But that wasn’t enough to make me feel like a sprout to use such a ridiculous trick.

Lutten was confused, and soon gave up the idea.

I just smiled and looked up at the sky.

‘As expected, he’s the captain.’

When I stop thinking, I feel relieved.

Yes, everything worked out well no matter what, so isn’t everything going well?

At the time Lutten put down something inside, such words were being exchanged among the people who were buzzing.

“If it’s a Blade Wolf, is it a beast with blades in its claws?”

“You mean a person won that? Several of them?”

“Cow, Swordbreaker! Sword Breaker Ruten!”

Sword Breaker Ruten.

The nickname containing that awe started to resonate quietly from the village in the corner of Yubin.

It was another few hours later that Elric and Tyria were rescued.

Villagers led snow carts up the valley and brought the Portmans, who had been hiding in a cabin, to the village.

It was an open secret that Aldio, who came running after hearing the news belatedly, embraced Elric with a tear-stained face.

Portman’s mansion returned like that.

“Madam’s fever is quite high. I guess I’ll have to take it easy for a while.”

“Okay. I’ll be leaving in a little while, so you can see what’s going on.”

“yes.”

Aldio lowered his head and left Tyria’s room.

Elric stared at Tyria lying on the bed.

It was a complex expression.

Half worried, half angry at reckless behavior.

When I open my eyes, the mindset that I must investigate this matter begins to take root.

I was taking a deep breath at him.

Elric’s gaze then began to scan her room.

‘It’s simple.’

It was such a simple composition that you could tell at once that Tyria hadn’t brought in anything new for the past 10 years.

A bed, a shelf, a bookcase and a side door.

Behind that is the dressing room.

Looking back, it was the first time I entered her room like this, so I felt new and embarrassed about it.

Thinking, Elric looked at her again.

Her face, which had always been pale to the point of being pale, was stained red.

I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat, and my breathing was rough.

Elric dabbed her forehead with a handkerchief.

Every time that happened, the frown on his face loosened little by little, but the reaction was so funny that it didn’t suit the situation, so Elric let out a small laugh.

“It was very difficult.”

All of a sudden, five Blade Wolves came out and ran down the mountain without even thinking about their knees.

Thanks to that, the knee that had been recovered was injured again.

In addition to the lengthy recovery period, my knees became sore just sitting still, just like when I first got injured.

It is difficult.

“It’s really difficult. too… many.”

It was difficult to find myself relieved that I had been able to stay here for a long time using my injury as an excuse.

“I feel like I’m being too shameless.”

Before I knew it, Elric’s hand had stopped.

“Find me getting used to life here. It doesn’t feel too bad, so it’s not too refreshing every morning.”

It was a speaking moment.

Trembling, Tyria’s body trembled, and soon her eyes opened.

Elric’s eyes widened.

“buoy… Ugh!”

I forgot about the state of my knees and jumped up, only to be staggered by the pain.

Elric, frowning and concentrating, looked at Tyria.

“… hmm?”

His eyes were wide open and he was staring into the air.

Blinking his eyes like that, he turned his gaze to himself.

Their eyes met, and Tyria stumbled and grabbed Elric’s index finger.

I didn’t feel any strength at all.

“ma’am… ?”

“… .”

Tyria stared at Elric’s index finger, then crouched down and pulled Elric’s hand.

Elric panicked and was taken as she intended.

It was as if her hand was tightly held in Tyria’s arms.

I wondered what kind of situation this was, and after observing it, she immediately closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

Elric let out a big laugh.

“I guess you needed something to sleep on.”

Tyria’s complexion became more comfortable.

After confirming that Tyria was completely asleep, Elric headed to the office.

While she is resting, she will have to take care of the mansion herself.

It was possible to handle simple tasks as much as I had learned so far, so it was the point of opening the papers right away.

The moment he saw the hand holding the pen, Elric was suddenly occupied with another thought.

I couldn’t help but lose my concentration when I started working.

‘Are your senses dulled a bit?’

Elric recalled the moment he was dealing with the Blade Wolf in the snowy mountains.

‘I think I could have cut it a little more neatly.’

It was only at that time that I was in a hurry and inadvertently skipped it, but when I think about it again, it seemed that I was more clumsy at controlling mana than when I was on the battlefield.

Anyway, the initial purpose was to avoid the surrounding trees and cleanly use only Blade Wolf.

I didn’t see it with my own eyes, and I didn’t even have a sword in my hand, but in fact, that wasn’t a problem.

In the first place, it was a skill that forged mana like a sword and sprayed it around the body, so there was no need for a sword.

Elric frowned.

The cause was immediately identified.

‘I’ve lost my life.’

Sword realm is a method of putting mana under control with a sharpened life.

Unlike the general mana performance method, the farther away from living, the more difficult it is to control mana.

It wasn’t the concept that the total amount of mana or the power you had gave it.

The amount of mana spewed out can not be controlled, so the details are lost.

In other words, if you go to the battlefield as it is, there could be an unfortunate accident that sweeps away both allies and enemies at once.

In fact, in the days when it was difficult to control life, there were quite a few things that swept away all allies in the middle of the battlefield.

There were also a few resentful relationships that arose because of it.

I needed to be alert.

I don’t know if I’ll have the same accident again if I go like this.

‘Should I do some rehabilitation training… .’

Even thinking about it, I inadvertently hesitate.

Yubin’s idyllic atmosphere made people dull.

back to the battlefield

Every time I thought of that proposition, the hesitation that came to my mind was growing thicker by the day.

“Whoa… .”

Elric sighed.

It was at that moment that a knock was heard.

“young master.”

“hmm? What is it?”

“Lord Rutten will say goodbye before returning.”

Are you saying you’re leaving already?

Elric got up from his seat in surprise.

“Let me go to my bar!”

Just like that, I walked out of the office with a cane.

The place I headed straight for was the reception room.

“ah! Is the captain here?”

Lutten responded to him with a cheerful smile.

But Elric couldn’t help but laugh.

“hmm? Why is your expression like this?”

Lutten, who was smiling mischievously, had bruises all over his body, as if he had been steamed with a club.

That’s what Elric did.

‘… Didn’t I just have to be gentle?’

Suddenly, a feeling of pity soared.
