Chapter 16: Evil Retribution I

As the hint of the kill came to mind, Urs was sure that he had successfully chopped the six-armed snake demon under his sword back into the bottomless abyss.

He couldn't really kill it in the main material plane, but it was no problem to drive this demonic creature back to his abyss home through violent means, and then he pulled out the molten iron greatsword that was inserted into the body of the snake demon with both hands, and the blood-colored eyes in the berserk state could clearly see that the surface of the sword body of this black giant sword had already been stained with flesh and blood, and it was dark red and black, and the back plate of the sword in front of him spread out several blazing golden grooves faintly floating out of sparks like the skin was congested.

These line-like grooves of firelight were originally smoky ash marks on the surface of the sword's body, but at this moment, they were attached to the back of the giant sword like the curve of magma flowing, implicating and unfolding each other like intricate branches, so that young people who had long been familiar with it in their previous lives immediately understood that this +4 enchanted weapon with the attribute of "slow heat sublimation" was finally a little excited.

It's like the Ring of the Warbler that took time to "wake up" a few months ago...... But the level of excitement is really only "a little bit".

After all, if the powerful magic equipment of the dignified +4 level can be easily upgraded to the +5 level just by slashing and blasting a gnoll cave, the +5+6 god costumes recorded or mentioned in Castaño's history and legends will inevitably follow with a bit of a drop in price, right?

You must know that even if it is a holy avenger, the holy sword "Judgment of the Destroyer", the holy chain "Prayer of the Redeemer", and the holy spear "Purifier's Precept" are only enchanted at +5 strength.

Now in the possession of the Holy Warrior Count in the Northland of the Empire, the Holy Chain was accidentally found by the Thorns in the secret room behind the Oblivion's Gate, and the remaining Holy Lance is still missing.

Urs took a closer look at the molten iron greatsword that was covered with "bloodshots" because he was a little excited, and watched as the groove marks that appeared on the sword quickly faded as if the refreshment had passed, and within a few seconds, the black greatsword that had just lit up for a while with flame streaks turned back to the "big black iron block" with smoky ash marks on the surface of the normal state.

It seems that the sublimation process of this "big iron" is still as slow as ever, just like the name of this attribute in its item information, the sublimation of slow heat......

"Urs...... Brother? ”

"Huh?"

Suddenly he heard the voice of the little girl coming from the side with a little trembling voice, and the young man withdrew his attention from the sword, and glanced sideways to see that it was the future Miss Archmage who found himself coming towards him after the battle.

To be honest, Belllith felt a little frightened, a little bit...... Then he knew that it was impossible for Urs to suddenly convulsion and hurt himself, but he had just witnessed such a shock-

No, "shock" is not appropriate here, and if there is any word to describe the process just now, it should be "brutal".

She had witnessed the brutality of Urs, and although she knew that the hostility of the young man was completely cathartic to the evil monsters, the sight of that image in the eyes of the little girl could not help but give her a terrifying illusion, and she almost thought that the big brother of Urs, whom she trusted, had briefly transformed into another humanoid beast during that time, and the bestiality overshadowed the human nature......

"Hmm...... No, nothing. Bellelis shook her little head, and immediately stopped this inexplicable fear in her mind, thinking that she must have been thinking too much, and then turned her head to look at the darkness in front of the cavern tunnel, and together with Urs, she saw the silhouette of two more figures emerge from the darkness of the shadows, one of whom was the magician Raldak whom the young man knew in his previous life.

And the other -

"Lord Urs, this human's actions and characteristics are very much in line with your description, and it should be the magician named Raldark."

"Well done, knight."

Urs smiled in satisfaction, raised his arm and pestled the greatsword upside down, watching as one of the Immortal Knights he had summoned through the Warbler's Ring grabbed Raldak's neck with his sword and escorted him in front of his eyes.

Rardak was stunned, his two wrists were pinched behind him by the knight's big hands, and he had a ghostly expression on his face, as if he really didn't know that the number of people in the thorn team who attacked the cave was not only Urs and Bellinglis, but actually a total of three people after adding a Lion of Thorns Heroic Spirit Knight.

The Immortal Knight who escorted the magician wore the Ring of the Lurker, which Urs had temporarily assigned to him, and with the help of the stealth provided by the Magic Ring, he had snuck up to the front to dispose of Raldak who was hiding in the shadows when the young man was fighting the six-armed snake demon not long ago.

In order to minimize the possibility of exposing the stealth effect, he temporarily removed the protection of his full-body armor before following Urs and Bellinglith into the cave, positioning himself in this mission as a stalker responsible for sneaking up on specific targets, wearing only a set of light leather armor and carrying a long sword to carry out the mission.

The heroic knights of the Lion of the Thorn Legion are heavy armored cavalry charging on horseback, and after dismounting, they are also elite-level infantry or scouts......

Well, there's also - they can't pick up their equipment.

It's not that these Heroic Knights can't change their equipment, but it means that the equipment they don't need can't be contributed separately to share with the people of the Thorn Squad, whether it's their own personal weapons or full-body armor when they are summoned, once they are out of their own control for too long, they will disintegrate into pale golden particles of light and dissipate automatically.

Thanks to this factor, Urs's intention of salvaging a full-body armor from the Lion of the Thorns was completely dispelled shortly after he obtained the Warbler's Ring a few months ago. Although the drow armor in the dark region is good, it has the attribute of "seeing the light and dying", and the size cannot match the size of the young man. Although the Blind Prophet Zeken is a legendary craftsman, the process of processing the elemental crystal nucleus is more complicated than expected, and it is only a matter of duty for people to spend months helping them concentrate on building the molten iron greatsword......

…… Not.

So how long do I have to wear this chain mail?

Although chain mail is not a bad piece of armor, who has ever said that barbarians are not allowed to wear full-body armor?

Besides, I'm not exactly a barbarian now, in fact, I've long been a furious knight chosen by the god of war...... The young man thought for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, and his blood-red eyes, which did not intend to lift his berserk state immediately, focused two beams of almost intimidating gaze on Rardak's face.

"Brother Urs, is he the Raldak you said? The scoundrel who walked with the gnolls and bandits? Bellis's attention was quickly drawn to the stunned trickster man, who reflexively wondered how the young man had come to know him.

"This guy was once secretly hunted down, as an Imperial Slave Knight." Urs heard the curiosity in the little girl's tone, and told her the reason directly.

Of course, the so-called secret hunt is naturally made up, to round out the field where he is unpredictable about certain events in this life because of the memories of his previous life.

The reason that the young man casually pulled out sounded a reasonable explanation in the ears of the little girl, but Raldak obviously didn't think so.

The wicked sorcerer man was held to his neck with a sword by the Heroic Spirit Knight behind him, and the wrists of his hands were also clasped behind his back, unable to move, and his panicked heart was a little overwhelmed by Urs's words, and he thought slowly—

Slowly, slowly, I actually provoked the slave knights of the empire before? Those ghosts, known as the "Lord's Dogs"? And did you provoke you to the point where you were wanted by one of the vicious dogs to the point where you are being hunted down until now?!

Warnes is on it, why don't I remember it myself?

But now doesn't seem to be the time to dwell on this, right? This slave knight's henchman has captured me, so what will he do with me next? Trial? Torture? Knock out the stun and put it in a sack and give it to his lord to receive the reward? Or rather, on the spot...... Execute?

The word execution floated through his mind, and the evil trickster man couldn't help but take a breath suddenly, to say that he was not afraid of death would definitely be deceiving himself.

He was afraid of death, and he didn't want to die like this, and then he saw Urs drag the pitch-black greatsword to the ground with his backhand and approached him, his cunning brain trying to regain his composure, even a little......

Finally, he regained a little of his former calm, and then squeezed out a reluctant and embarrassed smile in his eyes, looked at the young man and said in a flattering tone: "Ah, respected knight, I don't think the relationship between us is to the point of death, if you are willing to let me go......"

"Poof!"

"-Uh-ah?!!"

Before he could finish his words, the young man replied very dryly, and directly raised his greatsword in the form of physics rather than words, and aimed it at his left foot and plunged it down.

The weight of the greatsword easily shattered his left foot.

The sudden and severe pain instantly hit Raldark's perceptual nerves like thunder, causing him to widen his eyes and scream in pain, and his whole body almost lost his strength and went limp.

The Immortal Knight of the Lion of Thorns maintained control of him from behind, and at the same time raised his knees against him in a wise manner, forcing him to grit his teeth and resist the pain of the sudden smashing of the sole of one foot in an effort to stand firm, his muscles tense and trembling, and his half-empty eyes were half-raised to see and hear after the next—

"Ugly words ahead, Raldak. I'm a bit tyrannical from time to time, and I'm upset when I hear a lie, and when I'm upset, I might do something excessive. Urs deliberately didn't rush to lift the rage, his eyes widened and he stared at him at a distance almost face-to-face, half of his mouth turned up, "You know what I mean, right? ”
