Chapter 18: Sweeping
Passing through the fields, through the groves, and across the stone bridge that symbolizes the boundary, the incapable villagers will come to the land of the princes and nobles, which is a relatively safe place.
Old woman Lavra helped her old companion Moose and staggered towards the grove behind her. The port has been flattened by the pirates, and there is only a dead end to advance, and only by retreating behind the city walls can you barely get a glimmer of life.
In their rear, Wren stood calmly, not expecting to retreat with them, nor making any attempt to attack.
The tiny snowflakes on the tip of the gun had long since evaporated from the scorching air around them, but the owner of the gun still did not move. Goose feathers and snow were already flying outside the rock wall, and under this rock wall, the raging fire snake was urging people to die.
Although the pirates who have surrounded Wren are indiscriminate, they instinctively do not show their bloodthirsty madness towards the weak in the first place.
Wren, he fell into thought.
He didn't know why he had come running back and getting caught up in a battle that clearly wasn't his own. The kindness that should be repaid to the Tykes family has been paid off with this month's labor, and he has nothing to do with them. But why...... After seeing the injured old yellow dog, Wren immediately rushed back.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling that was contrary to his life creed. Wren, who fights only for himself, hunts only for himself, and survives only for himself, does not understand this boring feeling called [Protection].
Even after taking up arms for a long time, his first thought was not to kill the group of grandsons in front of him, but to give birth to a feeling of discomfort...... It's a dull feeling in the chest......
"Hahh!!"
Finally, unable to endure this senseless ordeal, a pirate slashed from behind Wren with a sailor's knife! The rest of the people were also encouraged by the shout, and they all picked up their weapons and hit them, even if there was a vague bad premonition in their hearts, but there are so many of us, are we afraid of such a little child?
Bang!
In the end, Ren, who couldn't stand that his body would be injured because of these little deflated three, moved!
There was no need to turn back, the raised spear smashed backwards at will, and the thick tail of the spear smashed on the bridge of the pirate's nose like a bamboo, instantly making his face bloom!
Just swept around like that, and more than five people were blown away by the wind like fallen leaves!
There was only one person left, and I saw that the spear continued to swing in an arc, and the blade of the spear slapped into his face, causing a concussion and sending the tall man flying sideways!
In the blink of an eye, just one swing of kung fu made seven people unconscious!
And most importantly...... No one died.
Looking at the spear in his hand in a daze, Wren somewhat understood where the dullness in his heart came from. And in order to verify that idea, the scattered light of the eyes instantly became sharp!
With a spear in one hand, a single thrust broke through a group of more than a dozen people! These people didn't even understand what was going on, and they were instantly defeated!
There is no need to lock on to the target, and everyone who catches your eye is a villain. Walking on the earth are all arson, that jet-black iron gun does not need any gorgeous movements, a charge, a whirlwind, a violent smash, a crazy dance!
With each blow, more than dozens of people were swept into it, and within a few moments, hundreds of people were lying down!
Overwhelmingly!
Not an opponent at all!
When he realized this, despair had already sprung up in his heart, and the young boy was like a messenger of the devil, holding back hundreds of thousands of people in front of the woods with just one man and one shot!
Just when everyone was panicking, the pitch-black iron spear stopped.
Wren stopped his movements and stopped in front of the woods with his gun in hand, so that as long as no one entered the forest, he would not be attacked.
What's more, Wren discovers one thing, one answer to the dull place in his heart.
All alive.
The opponents who were knocked down by him, whether seriously injured or not, were all alive......
"Ahhh......h Is that the case? ”
Scratching his head in anguish, the young pirate fell into deeper thought.
No wonder I always feel weird, so to speak...... Sure enough, I'm still afraid of death.
Yes, not mature enough to see through life and death, Wren nearly died on that desert island before he could die in his twilight years. Since then, even he didn't know that he had been planted with a spell. A curse of fear of life, whether it is his own life or the life of others.
Thinking about it this way, whether it was the battle with Mihawk or the battle with Unan, he subconsciously retained some strength because of this spell, so Unan, who should have been killed by his own mastery, survived at that moment. Not even a single member of the crew on the Unan ship was killed by his own hands......
And now the hundreds of people who fell in front of him, not a single one died, which proves this even more. No, maybe it's worse.
For a month and a half in Tykes's house, peaceful days stifled his will, and pastoral labor killed his murderous spirit. If this situation were placed on a martial artist in his thirties and forties, he might have reached a longer height. But the thick fragrance of the earth covered the sharpness of the young man, which was not at all friendly to Wren, who was in the midst of the rise of force.
Yes, thought so much. It was clear that Wren had wandered.
Bang!!
“?!!”
By the time the pain struck, Wren's eyes were already dark! The huge force made the skinny Wren fly backwards twenty meters, breaking several trees in the forest behind him, before he lost his movement!
After just a moment's distraction, the man grabbed the handle, and the King Kong-like iron fist slammed straight into Wren's face!
"Straight, straight?!"
"Win! Worthy of Master Condra! ”
"One blow is ...... Scary guys. ”
Amid the cheers of the pirates, the man who had defeated Wren stood proudly in the crowd.
With a height of 1.91 meters and a weight of 100 kilograms, the strong man with white skin is like an indestructible white stone tower! And the touch that Wren felt like King Kong came from the stainless steel bracers worn by this strong man! Wren was hit in the face by something like this that was enough to break stones!
The "Mighty" Condra, a pirate with a bounty of 16 million, is also one of the seven leaders of this hunting country.
Contrary to the heroic nickname, Condra, who looked like a middle-aged farmer, stared without saying a word in the direction in which Wren fell. He glanced at his bracer, which was already shattering at the knuckles. He hid in the crowd for a long time before he seized the opportunity of Wren's distraction, and unlike that honest look, he had a cautious heart.
Facts have proved that his caution is correct, and in the eyes of outsiders, he easily solved the monster-like brat, but only he knows that his own punch just now, an iron fist that can crush his head with a single blow on weekdays, seems to hit something like a diamond, which makes his fist hurt for a while.
(…… In any case, if you are hit directly by a blow like that, you should lose your instincts if you don't die. )
Condra, who had decided to do so, waved his hand to signal that the pirates around him could move forward.
The pirates let out all sorts of vulgar cheers like a pack of jackals in the wilderness!
A pirate in a blue vest excitedly raised his torch, ready to burn the forest in front of him! And in the forest, you can still see the figures of many villagers moving backwards, and this fire is enough for him to see!
Excited, he raised the torch high, as if he wanted to entrust all his beliefs to it, and threw it hard!
Poof!
"Gah? Yes............ Ahh ”
The torches that had not yet been thrown out fell out of the pirates' hands, and the terrifying screams attracted the attention of the other pirates.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, this pirate who was about to set fire to the forest was pierced through the chest by a pitch-black spear and slammed into the ground! Blood flowed like a fountain down the iron spear that pierced into the ground, and in an instant, the ground under his feet was stained bright red with blood!
Hoarseness, cries for help, insults, screams, the poor pirate took two minutes before he swallowed his last breath.
Obviously, in the surrounding environment where the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, the pirates who had established themselves in front of the forest all heard the footsteps!
Each tremor shook the ground beneath their feet, giving them the illusion that an earthquake was going to happen on the island! Condra recognized the iron spear that nailed his men, and then became more and more cautious to block it in front of him with the armguards of his hands, beware of the monster boy who might still be alive rushing out!
The footsteps that shook the ground rang seven times before they strangely stopped. However, even the weakest thugs in the field instinctively felt that there seemed to be a fierce beast about to take off in the forest, ready to tear someone's head apart with its teeth and claws!
The next moment, a strong wind roared out of the forest! The weak pirates were forcedly forced to retreat, and the strong pirates opened their eyes one by one, waiting for a certain figure to rush out of the forest and unleash a thunderous blow!
But how can they see it?
At the moment when the wind first started, Wren's figure crossed a distance of 100 meters and came in front of Condra! He clenched his fists to his waist, and the moment Kondla's retina sensed something in front of him, he threw both fists together!
The bland fists shattered the steel bracers, broke the bones of Kondra's arms, twisted the muscles of his arms, and slammed into his chest! Hearing the sound of thunder, the ferocious fist power raged and danced in Kondla's body, and finally, it burst his back and exported the power of those fists!
Eight Punches, Thunder!
The entrails and flesh departed from Condra like a torrential rain, and eventually, the famous sea thief was left alone with only one spine and fell to his knees in the field, dead without a whole body.
Blood-stained Wren found what he had felt, and with the bloodthirsty killing, he suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulders, but at the same time he felt that he had lost something. However, all this boring mood swings were soon overwhelmed by more and more crowds!
Anyway...... It seems that if I don't kill all of you, don't you want to sleep today?
