The huge hammer was ruthlessly swung down, and the white tiger, which had been bounced away, could no longer defend itself.

"Father...... Miss...... I will...... Dead? ”

Clynn murmured softly with an immobile mouth.

Ever since he held the sword, Clynn has given everything he has to one person.

It is not the Emperor Tarim Lansen, who is the symbol of the empire, nor is it the Tianmu Forest, which is the strongest among the four knights.

Elusson, and Crantiel...... Clint was impressed by Crantiel's strong strength and followed him in martial arts since he was a child to protect his young lady, Eluson.

Klinn, who lost his parents since he was a child, completely blocked his feelings, because he was beautiful and even resembled a girl, so he was targeted by traffickers, and after several twists and turns, he was transferred to the Ailu family's mansion and became the sword slave of the Ailu family, and has been strictly required since then.

Swing the sword, swing the sword, keep swinging the sword, keep swinging the sword.

Because his fighting talent is valued, he is often sent by the head of the Ailu family to do some dirty work, and countless souls have died under Clinn's sword.

Even some outlaws, at the time, were afraid of Clynn, who was concentrating on wielding his sword in the yard every time he had free time, and deliberately stopped paying attention to the Ailu family.

The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon.

Clinn, who grew up under constant fighting, couldn't avoid taking a detour, and he gradually became paralyzed by the feeling of guilt after killing, no, and even became obsessed with the pleasure of piercing the other party's heart with the blade of the sword.

The swordsman with murderous eyes, the corners of his mouth twisted by madness, and the swordsman who confronts others with empty eyes is exactly what he sees in the mirror every morning.

Imagine not expecting to be able to turn into reality, only at this moment, will you feel that you are truly alive-

"Why, swing your sword?"

On that day, a strange existence that broke into Klinn's world, with the appearance of a girl with beautiful black hair.

The communication with the girl allowed him to successfully break away from his status as a sword slave and rightfully become Miss Eluson's bodyguard, and ever since, Clynn has been deeply attracted to her and the distress behind this feeling.

By normal standards, this kind of relationship is definitely in love.

Klynn gave up his appearance and name, because Miss Eluson liked gold, so she dyed her hair blonde, and she had no name since she entered the Elu family, but was simply called by the name of the imp, and the name Clynn was chosen by Eluson for herself.

And joining the Knights was also recommended by Miss Ailu, so now he can become the current Four Knights.

So until now, I have never forgotten it.

But—

For the tragedy of the Ailu family, he was powerless, and at that time, Clinn with tears under his helmet made up his mind.

Next time, I will definitely not let the people I want to protect get hurt again.

And the so-called next time, at this moment, was broken again.

He was less than five meters away from Clynn on one knee and the ogre tribute about to swing the hammer from his head.

As far as ordinary soldiers are concerned, although this is a distance that can be felt, it may not be able to stop the hammer, but the guard dragged the light all over his body, and the speed that was almost invisible, rushed to the front of Tianmu Lin, and blocked the falling hammer with the big sword in both hands.

“...... Miscellaneous? ”

In addition to Clynn's questions, there was the earth-shaking thump and the red liquid flying out.

Although this guard's greatsword is a high-quality weapon compared to the swords of other guards, the quality is still far from the white tiger in Clinn's hand, and the hammer in the ogre's hand is infused with the intention of killing and makes people feel frightened.

The state of resistance collapsed in only half a second, and several cracks appeared on the body of the great sword, and in the next moment, the sword turned into fragments and fell to the ground, and the guard immediately dropped the hilt of the sword and resisted the falling huge hammer with his bare hands.

Several muffled sounds rang through his body, and the bones of his hands from his wrists to his upper arms were intricately shattered, followed by a sharp pain that turned his vision almost snow-white, and blood splattered from the cracks in his armor before Klin's eyes.

"No, let it go! You're going to die! ”

In the face of Clinn's dissuasion, the guard gritted matte, turning the scream into a roar of exhilaration, and then used the forehead of his helmet to block the hammer that his hands could not fully support.

The steel helmet was easily shattered, and a screeching sound emanated from his neck, backbone, and knees. The pain turned into a blazing flame that swept through his body, and his vision turned bright red.

But he didn't fall, Lord Clynn was reviewing, he couldn't let this ugly weapon fall entirely, he must protect his lordship!

"What if...... I'm dead...... Please tell my wife...... I struggled, I am ...... Fanadios! ”

The blood dripping from the wounds all over his body was almost lethal, but he still persevered.

Losing his helmet, revealing his wheat-colored hair and freckled cheeks, Fanadios turned to Clynn and smiled slightly.

Clinn's eyes widened in disbelief, what drove him to do this, why he could protect himself from the ogre at the cost of his own life......

Why is that......?

The answer is simple.

That's why I want to protect Elusson.

So until the fog of the Ailu family case is lifted, he can't fall.

No...... Absolutely not!

In the hazy vision, Fanadios' beauty was severely distorted, as Clynn was now staring at his face in a steady mood, and his eyelashes were still stained with tears.

- Clynn burst into tears for the first time in a long time.

"I'm sorry - I'll leave it to me."

The regrouped power held the white tiger in his right hand, and at an astonishing speed, it produced a white light, like a tiger roaring, and slashed at the Ogre Gong's hammer.

The White Tiger's claws gathered on the tip of the sword, creating sharp scars, and the hammer was immediately cut in half, and along with the huge body of the ogre, it was also blasted ten meters away.

Klynn listened to the heavy clatter of the giant's fall, and he himself rushed forward and hugged the guard.

"Fanadios, don't die! I'll treat you right away! ”

The voice of grief rang in my ears again.

Fanadios squeezed out the last of his strength to lift his shattered left hand and quietly wipe away the teardrops that had slipped down Clinn's cheeks with trembling fingertips.

With a bright smile at first, Fanadios then turned the mind that had been hidden in his heart into a whisper.

"I'm also sorry for ...... The Empire has made a contribution. ”

At this moment, the guards ...... No, knight Fanadios, his heart has stopped beating.

I don't know how many victims of this war just closed their eyes.

I ———— what the hell am I doing!

Clynn let go of his petite body, which was covered in scars, and screamed inwardly.

It should have been numb to killing, and it should have been numb to death.

But......

But......

Clynn still couldn't stop the surging emotions in his heart, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them after the last tears dropped.

The magic effects of the ring were still in the duration, but Clynn didn't chant any spells, but he felt like he had gained multiple buffs.

“...... Unforgivable! ”

It was not only to the ogre, but also to himself.

The frozen thorns that bound him all over his body melted immediately.

Putting down the body of Fanadios, Klinn, who quickly stood up, inserted the artifact White Tiger into the scabbard at his waist with his right hand.

At this time, the ogre who snatched his companion's weapon from front and rushed over wielding a giant hammer, the red light in his eyes, like the fire of the demon world at the far bottom of the earth, made everyone feel terrified, Dimension Klinn.

He silently covered the white tiger's scabbard with his right hand, lowered the center of gravity of his body, and with a low vibration sound, the white light wrapped around his fingertips.

"Kill you——!!!"

Ogre Gong slammed his hammer down as he leapt toward Klinn.

"Go back, hell for you! Martial Arts - Tiger Roar! ”

Klynn muttered like this, and pulled out the white tiger casually, and the giant hammer stopped in the air, as if forbidden time, and the light blade doubled in length, leaving a white afterimage in the air to contact the impact surface of the hammer.

Time begins to flow, and Klynn appears behind the ogre.

With a crisp click, the Ogre Gong's massive weapon was sliced in half, and melted iron filings flew out of the red-hot cutoff.

Immediately afterward, the sight of a legendary fighter who prides himself on the largest body of a common demonic beast being cut in half in the air leaves everyone speechless.
