Chapter 700
Chapter 700
“It’s a shame that the control has become difficult… but our Baron has such obvious weaknesses.”
Is it because I’m used to it now? I don’t really get angry when I hear things like that. I didn’t hear it that well in the first place. My heart is pounding, thump, thump—!
A heartbeat filling your eardrums, blurred vision soaked with blood and sweat, skin that feels like it’s been roasted on fire,
“Kuuuuuuu···”
I just focused on those feelings and laughed without thinking. I didn’t laugh because it was funny, I just laughed because it made me laugh.
“That’s what it says in the book written by the Pebrosk Army. They say that warriors laugh when they’re having a hard time…”
Baekho Lee tilted his head at the words of the ruinologist.
“What the hell is that fucking noise?”
“That’s what my friend said once. Didn’t you know that it’s very famous among explorers?”
“How would I know that?”
Lee Baek-ho spits blood-mixed saliva while laughing.
“Anyway, so you’re saying that the Baron is having a hard time right now?”
Baekho Lee’s eyes looking at me showed his determination not to back down. It was bad news for me.
Seriously, if I just keep going a little longer, I won’t even have the strength to stand…
“Kuuuuuuu···”
Well, what can I do? I have to try until I can. There are times in life when you need the courage to push through even after knowing the outcome.
“Hey grandpa, are you ready?”
“Ah, it’s over”
“Then let’s wrap this up now”
I don’t know what kind of preparations you’re talking about, but it seems like you’ve been making some kind of desperate move without me knowing… Whaaaaaaaaa-!
A huge magic circle was formed around where the destruction scientist was standing. It was immediately ominous.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so weak that I’m the first to think, ‘If I can’t stop it, I’ll just run away…’ I was forcing myself to open my eyes and look ahead.
Kwajik-! The sound of a watermelon bursting is heard somewhere, and the magic circle drawn on the floor loses its light. What on earth is going on?
After quickly moving my gaze to check, I was able to obtain two pieces of visual information.
“···!”
A doomsday scholar flying through the air as if he had been hit by something, and…
“Amelia Rainwales cast [Suragak]···”
What the heck, how is he here? I was so tired that I was wondering if I was hallucinating, when Amelia said to me:
Looking at Baekho Lee, not me
“Captain, should I just kill all of these guys?”
I nodded blankly to that question.
“huh·”
I nodded without realizing it, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t embarrassed.
Amelia Rainwales, my true companion who should have been inside the walls, I was worried because I couldn’t speak properly and couldn’t go back for months, and…
On the one hand, I feel happy, but on the other hand, I also have doubts. How did she get here? ‘Did she come looking for me because she hasn’t come back for so long…?’
Well, I think Amelia would have done the same thing. She would have searched everywhere to find a way to get out, just in case I caused another accident.
Because she is the woman I trust the most in this regard.
“···Kill us? You kill us all by yourself?”
Baekho Lee, who was pretending to be flustered by Amelia’s appearance, regains his composure and laughs. And then…
“Aures! You just watch Grandpa! I’ll take care of this one!”
“Oh, I see!”
After hearing Baekho Lee’s order, Aures started running towards the direction where the old man was. However, Amelia just smiled while watching him.
“I don’t think I’ve ever said that before.”
“······”“The word alone·”
The moment everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance of the cave where the teleportation magic circle was hidden, a flash of light appeared from inside the dark cave.
It wasn’t a typical iron arrow, but a ‘spirit shot’ that used the power of light, or to be exact, spirits. Whoosh-! I didn’t even need to look to see who it was.
“Erwen Fornacci di Tercia cast [Rupture]”
Soon, an arrow flew at a speed so fast that it was difficult to follow with the eyes and aimed at the groggy old man.
Aures, who was running towards the old man of destruction, hurriedly throws his body to block the arrow and… Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!
The arrow that pierced the flesh of his left arm exploded. Flesh and blood scattered everywhere as if it had burst from within.
“···I see the nobleman is here too?”
From this point on, everyone stopped moving as if they had stopped for a moment. My comrades slowly appeared from the entrance of the cave where the arrow had been shot.
“Belvedere Ruingenes······”
Erwen with poison in his eyes
“Bjorrrrrrrrrr!! Are we supposed to wipe out all of these guys?”
Ainar, who is very excited
“Calm down, these are formidable people.”
Bersil with a somewhat tense expression and…
“Alone again···”
Misha looking at me with a worried look while looking at me while I was injured, ‘Auyen is here too’, ‘Even the members say this is not the end’
“I don’t see him. I heard he’s a good archer.”
“This is outside the walls····”
“But it’s fortunate that we were able to find our missing leader as soon as we got out.”
“Yes, it seemed like an emergency situation.”
Not only the original members of the Anabada Clan, but also the elite members who joined relatively recently through the James Carla Sven Parav Meland Kaislan Liris Marone Icerock Expedition.
‘Looking at it this way, our clan has grown quite a bit····’
A number that was enough to completely turn the tide of the battle. While a sense of inexplicable strength rose from deep within his heart, Baekho Lee’s eyes were filled with irritation.
“···They came in a huge group?”
I could tell the moment I saw it. It was something that a skilled explorer would do as naturally as breathing. It was exactly what Baekho Lee had said earlier.
“Jurben Havelion”
I called out the name of the opportunist who had been in the position of a bystander to feel ‘it’ more clearly.
“···yes?”
But is it because he’s a wizard? Why is he so cold? The situation has already changed 180 degrees.
“Are you going to stay there forever?”
“······”
“If you do that, you might get caught in the sparks and die.”
“Ahhh··· Yes···!”
When I repeated the same line that Baekho had said earlier, GM came to his senses and came running. ‘This guy is really funny.’
‘It’s like what he did to Gavis and what he did to Baekho earlier. He pretends to be innocent but his actions are just like a fox.’
···Is this natural from his perspective?’ Actually, if you think about it, neither I nor Baekho Lee are GM’s colleagues.
To put it simply, it is not a situation where GM feels betrayed by sticking around here and there····
“···I’m sorry·”
“Okay, get out quickly.”
“yes····”
Lee Baek-ho did not stop GM. Or, to be exact, he did not even dare to stop him.
“Wow, what about the members… If they’re at this level, they wouldn’t lose even if they went toe-to-toe with Orcules?”
He tried to act calm, but at least I could tell more clearly than anyone else that Baekho Lee was feeling very embarrassed by the unexpected situation.
‘Well, that’s understandable.’ The old man who was kicked by Amelia and sent flying was not even able to control his body properly.
“······”
Tanker Lek Aures lost one of his arms. Also, Jaina, who is in the healer position, does not have much MP left.
“We need to get treatment soon···”
“I’m fine, don’t provoke them.”
“······”
A situation where you are cornered and cannot even think about putting in a heel.
“Ahahaha… This is going to be difficult…”
“······”
“Baron, shouldn’t we… have a draw…?”
What the hell is this crazy guy talking about? I laughed in disbelief and lowered my head to look at one of Baekho Lee’s body parts.
“Did you say it was neutering?”
“Excuse me… Baron?”
“Well, since I have a hammer, I guess I can do something.”
“Well… how about we try to resolve this through dialogue…?”
As I took a step closer, ignoring everything he said, Baekho Lee let out a sigh as if the ground was about to collapse, making a ‘tsk’ sound.
“Ha… Seriously, why can’t I do this? How come they show up at this timing?”
Actually, it’s understandable that he felt wronged. This was outside the walls, not anywhere else. I admit that I was lucky. But…
‘Looking at him, I don’t think it’s just luck.’ Having closely observed the way Baekho Lee’s team has been running, I suddenly had this thought.
If Baekho Lee were in my situation, would he have had any comrades come outside the walls to look for him? I don’t think there would have been a single one.
When I think about it that way, this moment today doesn’t feel like just luck. I can’t emphasize this enough.
“Bjorrrrrr!! When on earth is the fight going to start!”
0 and 1 are different, so Lee Baek-ho’s team is cornered in a corner. Of course, I don’t think I can catch Lee Baek-ho here.
‘If this guy runs away, I will never catch him.’ But it is definitely an opportunity.
Even if we put aside the fact that we can catch the team members that Rex Aures, Jaina Flyer, and Baekho Lee have gathered and raised,
“My sister’s enemy····”
Maybe I will really get my revenge that day. I trudged along. As I took another step, Baekho Lee approached me with a low smile.
“Haha, Baron? Why don’t you come over and let’s talk for a moment?”
Turbuck
“No, I won’t listen. I’m not even curious about what you did with that old man anymore.”
Turbuck
“Oh really… Okay! Settlement fee! In these cases, you usually pay a settlement fee and resolve things amicably, right? How much is it? I’ll try my best to match it!”
Turbuck
“···Do we really have to see blood? Between us? Huh?”
I ignored him and kept walking. Baekho Lee’s expression hardened. Baekho Lee no longer spoke to me as I walked.
Thump, only when I stood in front of him did he mutter a word, as if all his humble behavior up until a moment ago had been a lie.
“Your Majesty·”
“······”
“Do you really plan on going all the way with me?”
Baekho Lee speaks to me in the most familiar threatening tone of voice.
“I don’t know about the Baron, but the rest of us will all be ruined.”
There was no proper explanation, but it was not difficult to understand what was being said. [Star’s Disappearance] Lee Baek-ho’s strongest ultimate skill.
He was trying to use it like a modern-day nuclear weapon, some kind of chicken game?
If all the guys come out like that, I won’t be able to handle it either. I’m not the only one here.
“······”
A mean smile appeared on Baekho Lee’s lips as he was momentarily speechless and unable to say anything.
“I knew it. You’re really weak-hearted, I tell you. You don’t look like you are.”
Baekho Lee took a step toward me, talking about my weaknesses and sore spots that he had mentioned over and over again but could not fix.
“Baron, I will give you just one piece of advice.”
I don’t know why everyone is so anxious to give me advice, but…
“A man with much to lose will never beat me.”
Lee Baek-ho said, looking honestly into my eyes,
“I can give up everything.”
“······”
“For the one thing I desperately wish for”
If it was someone else, I wouldn’t have said anything because it was Baekho Lee who was talking. If it were him, he would have said the same thing.
Whether it’s the doomsday guy, Jaina, or Rex Aures, he’s a guy who won’t blink an eye whether they die or not for his own purposes. So that’s why…
“···!”
He reached out his hand to Baekho Lee, who had come up to him without fear. Kwak-! Even though he was grabbed by the collar in an instant, Baekho Lee’s expression was relaxed.
Here, the look in his eyes seems to really believe that I can do no harm····
“Try it”
“···?”
“Try anything”
Lee Baek-ho frowns as if he doesn’t understand what I’m saying. What do you not understand about what I said earlier? This guy Lee Baek-ho has a wrong idea about me.
Losing something precious – of course I’m scared and I hate it, and just thinking about it makes my heart squeeze so tight I feel like I’m going crazy – but because of that – Kwak-!
He pulls the hand that was holding his collar and slams his forehead into his forehead.
The faint sound echoed far away, but Baekho Lee did not groan and asked back.
“···What does this mean?”
Oh, really, don’t you know? How much of a retard must you have thought of me to be like this? Kwajik-! I was a little annoyed, so I slammed my forehead into his again.
“···Are you really going to do it?”
No, I said it before. Kwajik-!!! A much more sinister sound than before came out and blood flowed down from Baekho Lee’s forehead.
“Do you really care if all your precious colleagues die?”
