Chapter 2: Only Seven Men Lived
"Bang!!" Countless pieces of rubble were shocked into the air by the power of the captain's greatsword inserted into the ground.
It wasn't the Awakened who was attacked!, and at this moment, the Awakened had already skyrocketed above the captain and was ready to attack.
"What a pity!" the Awakened's ugly voice came out, "Don't look at me like this, my speed is not an ordinary Awakened..."
"!!" Before he could finish his words, the captain, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly held the ground with his left hand, and his right hand holding the sword swept upwards to block the attack of the awakened.
After that, the captain jumped back again, and the whole person jumped upside down, and the big sword in his hand quickly swung out a shape similar to a hook, and followed the awakened person who dodged again.
"It's useless. Once my sword is unsheathed..."The captain actually attacked with his eyes closed!
"It won't stop moving until the target's demonic energy is destroyed...", as if explaining, but it also shows the horror of this sword technique.
"The demonic energy that is chasing me ......" The awakened person seemed to be in disbelief, and the limbs on both sides began to move.
"That's good!" the barbed limbs on both sides sped towards the captain who was chasing him in the center, "I just need to take your life first, and there will be nothing to fear!"
There were two cracking sounds, and the two limbs were severed by two large swords, and they were the other two warriors.
"It's to keep that kind of thing from happening...... "That's what we ......"
"Quack, ah, ah!" the Awakened seemed to wail in pain.
Suddenly, countless sharp, spike-like objects shot out from behind the awakened one.
This is something that no one expected!And the captain is in the state of [Secret Sword Chasing] with his eyes closed, and he must automatically track down the Awakened, and he is the first to bear the brunt.
The captain was impaled in the chest by a sharp object. Immediately after that, it was shot through by two more of the same thing.
"Hmm?" The captain opened his eyes, and the state of [Secret Sword Chasing] was over!
"Captain!" shouted the two warriors, but they were too busy to take care of themselves. Sharp objects swept towards the two of them.
The three of them fell to the ground and fell unconscious with such a sharp object stuck in their bodies.
Two more large Awokens came out from behind the mountain.
"We're not stupid," said one of the awakened beings covered in thorns, apparently he shot those things just now, "Since the organization has started to target us, of course we will also take the necessary countermeasures." β
"Cut, you're too slow!" shouted the Awoken who had previously had his limbs cut off.
"I'm sorry. Cluck... You're a mess. The thorny Awoken returned.
"Oh?" was another Awoken, looking much like the legendary Minotaur, who looked at Gularis lying on the ground as if he had found something interesting.
"Look, there's a [dyed] one. Even now, there is still such useless waste. β
"Thanks to the distance from the battlefield, she looks like she's been hurt in some way...... Did you faint because of the impact of the pain?"
"It's so cuteββ! the Awoken's tone was very happy.
"Isn't that just right? since it's useless waste among the soldiers, the meat shouldn't be so unpalatable. His eyes never took his eyes off Gularis.
"After a hard work, it's rare to have a long-lost fresh human flesh to eat. β
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole head slipped from his neck a little, and then his body fell to the ground.
His head and body were completely separated!
"How... What's the matter??!" The two Awoken watched as their companions died before their eyes.
"It's weird! Raise your vigilance!" The awakened person covered in thorns immediately entered a state of alert, and the thorns on his body were all ready to shoot.
"Fellows of these guys...?" the Awoken thought to who would attack him, "but you don't feel the demonic aura everywhere..."
The "!!" awakened person covered in thorns was directly cut to pieces by something.
"Zaru!!!" shouted the name of the last remaining severed Awoken to the thorn-covered corpse of the Awoken.
"!!" Something seemed to flash in front of me, but it was too fast to be seen!
"What...?, who are youβ" He was killed before he could finish his sentence!
"Hmm..."Gularis was the first of the four to wake up.
"!" she looked around, "I... Not dead..."
"It's faint, but I can still feel the demonic energy... Everybody's still alive..."She looked at the three people lying on the ground, felt the demonic aura, and knew that none of them were dead.
"What about the Awakened...?" she said, "I remember several... What the hell is going on......"
She didn't understand, only knew that all four of them had survived.
"Also, what are the traces of this sea of blood...?" she looked at the large pool of blood on the ground. Keep walking.
"!" she was stunned by what she saw, "this is... What..."
In front of her eyes were mounds of dirt and swords with their own symbols.
"This is the tombstone of a warrior ... Could it be the Awakened Crusade seven years ago, those twenty-five warriors?"
Cold sweat slid down her forehead.
"Didn't I hear that all of them were killed... Who the hell..."If all of them are killed, who will bury the corpses of those warriors under the mound of earth and insert their swords!
β8... 11... 14... 17..."Gularis circled several times between the mounds, "and sure enough..."
"No matter how you count them, there are only seventeen swords that are tombstones..."
"The number of warriors in the Northern War is twenty-five... There are eight missing..."
But what Guralis didn't know was-
At a mountain pass above the mound, three men in black cloaks were watching her condescendingly.
"That [dyed] one by one... What should I do, Sister Miria?"
She knew how many people had survived. β
"There's nothing we can do now, after all, we can't die without help. "Miria is usually calm.
"Plus the warrior had already begun to slowly regain consciousness by then, and wanted to take her from here somewhere else... As far as the situation is concerned, it is not allowed..."
"Rustling ......" is the sound of someone walking through the snow.
"For the other three, we've already done simple treatment for them. The injury should be fine. β
"Let you run away. Miria turned to look at the two of them, "Thank you, Cynthia, Tabasha. β
"But it's really strange that there are even [dyed] warriors. Stop the recent problem of understaffing?" asked Tabasha.
"No, I'm afraid it just means that this northern land doesn't take it that seriously, right?"
"Not only has the number of fighters who should have been sent to the north to garrison be greatly reduced, but even the regional configuration seems to have changed. β
"Although the number of fighters remains at 47, it is not an exaggeration to say that those who rank 30 and above are the spare tires for filling the number of people...... Miria analyzed.
"Spare tire," Helen said suddenly, "to scare her so that she can be gagged?"
"Don't do that. Miria refused, "Thanks to the continuous suppression of our demonic energy during these seven years, we have learned the technique of completely eliminating the demonic energy that has been exposed. β
"Coupled with the fact that we are still the same as in the past, we can feel each other's demonic energy, and it is simply impossible for other warriors to find us. β
"If the other party is also a special case that can erase the demonic spirit, it is still possible to ......"
"Or maybe that guy can. β
"Sister Miria, do you meanβIzu?" Helen was stunned.
"That guy couldn't find the body or her greatsword anywhere," Divi took over.
After all, no one would believe that Isu could survive from the abyss, and the worst and most likely outcome would be that there would be no bones, so there would be no trace of her possible existence.
It's just that the strange thing is that the big sword that is her symbol is gone, and the big sword has never been broken or even notched!
So Iso, what the hell happened!
"Where's Claire?" Miria looked around at the four of them, "Why didn't you see her?"
"I asked Yuma to be our eyeliner and follow her. Divi replied.
"Still looking for the boy she said......"
