chapter 16
Episode 16.
If I compete with Ea swords… .
‘I lose one hundred percent.’
The golem tore off the wounded arm.
It seemed to reduce unnecessary weight.
As evidence of that, the golem became slightly faster.
The golem swung his remaining arm at Ea.
Ea, who avoided the golem’s attack, shouted.
“for a moment!”
“Yes, why?”
“Somehow, it feels like I’m the only one dealing with the golem.”
Come to think of it, I decided to deal with the trash mobs.
I jumped at the golem and, relying on my intuition as I had learned from the sword saint, stabbed the golem near its heart.
Then Ea was embarrassed and said.
“Are you aiming for essence?”
“I have a pretty good sense!”
Soon the golem will collapse.
But contrary to my thoughts, the golem was fine. Apparently, it wasn’t stabbing the essence. Am I wrong?
Ea sighed and finished the golem.
“Does it make sense to find out the location of the essence by intuition? And obviously planting the essence near the heart?”
“Sorry, I thought it would.”
“From now on, treat me like I dealt with you. It’s dangerous otherwise.”
That was right. If you stab the golem incorrectly, the sword will become lodged in it, making it difficult to dodge the golem’s attack. Relying on intuition has failed, so I can’t do it anymore.
I bowed my head again and apologized, and Ea readily accepted.
“Anyway, this won’t be the end.”
“Iknow, right.”
I continued walking into the ruins, but no more golems appeared.
“I guess the golems are concentrated in one place?”
“I mean.”
I found a door the same size as the one I entered.
Carefully opening the door and entering, there were two large golems.
“I’ll take care of that white guy.”
“Then I’ll take the black one.”
The white golem was one head taller than the black golem.
Thanks to Ea’s consideration, I was able to deal with opponents who seemed weaker.
I ran into the black golem.
“Take it!”
I stabbed my sword at the black golem’s ankle joint.
The black golem struck me with both arms as if it were angry.
I avoided it and also destroyed the joint in the other ankle.
“It’s light now.”
The immobile golem only needs to be careful with its arms.
I swung my sword while watching the black golem’s arm.
I slowly attacked the joints of the black golem.
“It is over now.”
All of the black golem’s arm joints were dealt with.
All that was left was the joint connecting the head and torso.
I lightly jumped and thrust my sword into the black golem’s neck joint.
“I got it done!”
The black golem, whose joints were attacked, gradually lost its eye light.
I turned and looked at Ea.
“Why are you so late?”
“… … .”
Apparently, Ea had already dealt with it.
Ea was sitting and resting on the remains of the white golem.
“If these guys were the bosses, now there will be a reward room or something.”
“How do you know that?”
“Just trust me.”
I’ll say it again, but I was a person with historical experience.
But, to put my words to shame, there was no room for compensation.
“Well, I guess those two guys weren’t bosses. The boss will remain. Let’s find it.”
As Ea and I moved to the end of the wall, we heard a strange sound behind us.
Looking back, the source of the sound was a black golem and a white golem.
“I guess that’s the real boss guarding the ruins?”
“surely!”
It was the sound of a black golem and a white golem colliding.
And those two golems were being made into one.
“The size is smaller than I thought.”
The appearance of the two golems combined was like a knight wearing a full mate.
The white part became the body, and the black part became armor and weapons.
Its size seemed to be a head larger than that of a well-built human.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll just finish it quickly. Give me a little time.”
Following Ea’s words, I approached the golem. The golem swung the sword in its hand at me.
I continued dodging the golem’s sword. In the meantime, I felt a tremendous energy behind me. it was ea
“Now that’s it, get out of there!”
As soon as I fell off the golem, Ea immediately charged the golem.
Ea’s sword colliding with the golem became so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye.
Ea’s speed, which gradually increased, began to exceed that of the golem.
The knight-type golem also tried to swing the sword in defiance, but it was stabbed ten times with one swing.
“Incredible.”
The decision came in an instant.
To put the grand merging scene to shame, he was knocked over too easily.
And the moment the golem was defeated, the reward room was also opened.
Ea and I entered the room with the reward.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to me.
‘Why are the designs of the ruins so similar?’
Of course, it didn’t come out of my mouth.
What you find in the room as a reward are two books that appear to be related to curses.
Ea found this book and looked very happy.
After getting out of the waterfall, I tried to cover each inn.
“yes? You haven’t decided on an inn yet?”
“huh.”
then.
I wondered what it would be like to sleep in my room, but I soon gave up.
‘No matter how much, it’s a little bit like a man and a woman sharing a room…’
Even so, he could not rewrite the hand of the Duke of Faust.
I had already collected it from the inn when I paid the bill.
“I’ll stay with you, too.”
“But the Sheila Inn is a bit expensive.”
“If it’s expensive, how much do you do?”
I whispered to Ea the cost of lodging at the Sheila Inn.
“hmm… It’s not like I can’t afford it.”
“yes?”
I had made money as a mercenary, but I was the one who thought of staying at an inn used by commoners if it wasn’t for the card Moredt gave me.
Ea felt amazing again. From the Empress of the Six Fruits, it seems that she should change to the Empress of the Seven Fruits.
That’s because there’s a lot of money.
I had never heard of the Kirton family of the Mycenae Empire, but it seemed to be a fairly high-ranking noble family.
“Does Kirton Mansion look bigger than I thought?”
“what… yes.”
At Ea’s disapproving appearance,
I stopped asking about the Kirton estate.
“By the way, since you’ve decided on an inn, where do you want to go?”
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t come to Febris Village for sightseeing, so I don’t know anything.”
I needed to be a tour guide.
My original plan was to go to Febris Falls.
However, thanks to visiting the ruins, I had enough to see.
I was thinking of Febris Forest Street as my next destination.
“How about Febris Forest Street?”
“A forest street?”
“The combination of the forest and the street makes me feel like walking in nature.”
“Ok, fine.”
Ea went into the Sheila Inn, got a room, and came out again.
However, Ea’s expression as she left the inn looked good.
I assumed it was for the same reason as me.
“This inn is very luxurious and luxurious!”
“uh… ? He did.”
Looking at the reaction, it seems that this was not the case.
“You seemed to be in a good mood when you came out, wasn’t it because of the inn facilities?”
“Oh, actually… … .”
Sheila Inn remembered that Ea had helped her.
And confirming that Ea came to stay at his inn,
Surprisingly, they did it for half the price.
“I was lucky.”
“It is also a good thing to do and see.”
Together with Ea, we headed to the forest street of Febris.
The forest street we arrived at was cool.
The floor is leveled with stones. And leaves from trees and vines shaded the sunlight.
I just walked without talking to Ea.
A faint scent of perfume wafted through the cool breeze.
“Did you spray perfume?”
“Yeah, why do you want to be poisoned so much?”
“No, it just smells good.”
and walked again
Ea was a bit embarrassed by my words, so the back of her neck was red.
***
The time in Febris seemed to pass faster than during the sabbatical.
We walked through the forest, ate food, and went sightseeing.
If you write down a tour review of Febris village, it was like this.
[The food was delicious, and the view was nice.]
And it was time to go back to the academy,
Ea and I went back to the academy together.
Maybe it was because I arrived at the right time, but when I arrived at the academy, the eyes around me were stinging.
like···.
‘Who are you to come with Ea Kirton?’
It was like a gaze.
I couldn’t stand the gaze of the people around me and left the place saying I had something to do.
Of course, there were real things to do.
“Sword Saint-nim, this is a gift.”
It is a gift to the Sword Saint, who can be said to be my teacher.
It was a gift I had chosen carefully and thoughtfully.
The Sword Master smiled after checking the gift.
“You have a sense.”
It was also correct.
When I went on a trip like this, the gifts I had to buy for adults were decided.
It was alcohol.
It is a liquor made with the waterfall water of Febris Village.
“Worrying about it is worth it!”
“Hey, I’ll have a good drink. Now that the sabbatical is over, it would be nice to drink it as a commemoration.”
The Sword Saint looked at me intently.
Now, just by looking at the Sword Master’s gaze, I can understand what he’s trying to say.
It’s a gaze that wants to drink with me.
“hahahaha, I’m fine. I need to relax in the dormitory, tired from the trip.”
The swordsman looked at me as if he was saying something.
“What are you talking about? Shouldn’t there be snacks to drink alcohol!”
Oh, it was an illusion. It was a gaze telling me to buy some snacks to accompany my alcohol.
got up right away.
“I will buy it right away.”
“Yes, I would like the meat to be as spicy and salty as possible.”
“All right!”
Being late was one of the things the swordsman hated the most.
Even while I was on my way to buy snacks, I kept thinking about it.
‘It’s spicy and salty meat, but to be a snack… .’
After all, there are only skewers.
As soon as I saw a skewer shop, I bought different types of skewers and presented them to the Sword Saint.
Fortunately, the Sword Master seemed satisfied after taking a bite of the skewer.
“Good job. You too should rest now.”
“Okay, let’s go back to the dormitory.”
As soon as I got back to the dormitory, I tried to sleep.
However, Fried did not leave me alone.
“Hey, what is Suhar?”
Fried entered my room without knocking.
“Fred… Please knock. You were surprised.”
“Oh, sorry about that. But what did you just say?”
“just now?”
I must have just bought a skewer for the Sword Saint and entered the dormitory.
“Is it so strange that I bought skewers for Sword Saint-nim?”
“No, not just like that. You came with Ea Kirton.”
“ah… .”
I guess it was just rumored.
“We just met at a tourist spot and went back together.”
“So, I’m going back with you because we met at some tourist spot.”
“Yeah, is it the same club?”
“what… ?”
Come to think of it, I hadn’t told anyone that I was in the same club as Ea.
“Come to think of it, I never said anything. Senior Ea and I are in the same club, right?”
“crazy.”
Although Fried spoke harsh words,
The sudden nod of the head affirmed something.
“yes. If you are in the same club, you can come together.”
“So. That’s nothing strange.”
“Did you just come with me?”
“No, since we met at a tourist destination, we looked around together.”
Fried suddenly gave a sinister smile.
“Are you going to sleep together?”
“Don’t be crazy. I’m going to sleep because I’m tired.”
I went to sleep, ignoring Fried as much as possible.
