Episode 284 Midnight of my life (3)
âMrs. The Vermata faction is coming!â
When the maid spoke with a pale face, the maid looked out the window and gave instructions.
âWhy are they hereâ¦! Get ready now! It will be difficult, but the mansion has no choice but to stop it!â
Following the order of the lady-in-waiting, the servants began their own maintenance.
Check your weapons and put on your armor.
The combatants under Tiffria also hardened their faces and made up their minds.
âOnly Lady Tifria must be protected somehow! Form up!â
âyes!â
An untimely commotion broke out in the mansion.
* * *
ââ¦â
Ray took a long breath and looked at Vermartâs corpse.
Did you get a satisfactory result at the end of enduring the pain on the operating table?
Only the cut marks on his chest seemed to represent his lonely words.
Tifriaâs heart transplant operation was successfully completed because she was able to receive a heart quickly.
Now, if you recover properly, you will be conscious soon.
Ray gently hugged Vermart.
He carefully picked it up and left the bedroom.
Ignoring the busy ladies-in-waiting and combatants, I just trudged out of the mansion.
Tiffriaâs mansion is quite bloody.
Ahead is a long swamp, and the gardens have already turned into ruins.
The mansion was old and didnât get much sunlight, so it couldnât be called a beautiful landscape even with lies.
One such yard, only one.
There is a huge tree and a sunny spot.
Ray leaned Vermart against a tree.
As the warm sunlight shone on his face, a faint smile bloomed on Vermartâs lips, probably because of his mood.
âLeave the rest and rest in peace.â
Along with the horse, he pulled out the sword from Vermatâs waist.
When the bloody blade was pulled out without a sound of friction, Ray quietly turned around.
In front of him was an army of a thousand men emitting terrifying momentum.
All of them are Aura users who deal with mana.
Among them, three were people who could have joined the Sword Master.
âHuman healer! stand back!â
The courtesan vampire saw Rayâs appearance and shouted in amazement.
But he was silent.
Wearing a mask, he stands there holding a sword, and the soldiers on their way to the mansion laugh at him.
âYouâre a man who wants to die.â
âNo need to stop! Push it like this!â
They, who had spilled their momentum to the extent that the earth shook, moved forward with numbers.
Swords and spears surround him from all sides.
Despite being attacked by a dense net that seemed to have nowhere to escape, Ray still stood.
Even the vampires, who were nervous inside, were heartbroken at the sight.
âThis is the end!â
Even the vampire maid who was watching from behind did not doubt his death.
As he turned his head, a huge energy of mana emanated from the battlefield.
Ray made up his mind and exploded Mana.
The amount is less than before, but it is the mana of the spirit of speech that has grown a notch in quality.
It was not something that a soldier who had just come to join the ranks of the players could handle.
One side of the battlefield was completely destroyed.
Kwaaaangâ!
âAagh!â
âItâs magic!â
âShield!â
Even with sudden explosions, they are experienced and react quickly.
The soldiers who gathered mana protect it with magic, and those in front take out their shields.
At that point, the elders began to step in.
The elders, who had been watching from the back line from the beginning, shook their hands.
âIt was a good skill for a tsk tsk human.â
âThat will end here too.â
He quietly drew his sword and aimed at him.
The flesh of the elders raged and pricked the skin.
I donât think Iâll ever put things in my hands.
No, in the first place, they didnât seem to have any desire to save anyone.
It will probably stop only after killing everyone present in this mansion.
Ray took a step.
Then the pressure of mana became much stronger than before.
The soldiers holding their shields in front of them grabbed their necks and rolled on the floor.
âKeewâ¦!â
As the density of mana, which made it difficult to breathe, encroached on the surroundings, the elders also changed their complexion from the beginning.
If left as it is, it will become a hindrance in the future.
âI canât leave that guy alive.â
âIf itâs still like this, Iâm afraid of future troubles when I think about the future.â
The elders, who were looking at each other and exchanging glances, rushed at Ray without saying who came first.
The aura blades that rose from the sword pierced at a sharp angle.
There, the timing was subtly right.
With two swords attacking the front and a hidden sword piercing the back, most people would die before reacting.
Rayâs sword quietly received the sword attack.
As they slowly reduced their speed and let them go backwards, their swords changed as if they had already expected them.
The first sword increases the speed, and the second sword actually exerts its strength.
Only the last sword approached with great anticipation hidden.
While Ray concentrated on the two swords, the sword from behind aimed at his back.
It is a sword that the sword masters decided and unfolded.
It is not something that can be avoided by noticing it too late.
By the time Ray looked back, it was already too late.
A serious smile bloomed on the elderâs face.
âItâs over!â
Thrust the sword triumphantly.
The sword hit him directly in the back.
Kaaangâ!
The elderâs sword was cut in half with the sound of metal clashing violently.
Changgangâ
The Elder looked at the piece of metal that had fallen to the ground and was horrified.
What kind of guyâs back came to block the blade.
Ray, who was focused in front of him, drew a sword at him.
Wedge liquidâ!
Would it feel like this if the space was compressed in an instant?
It felt as if all the surrounding air was being sucked into the sword path.
If you try to block it with a chopping sword, you may get a big nose injury.
âYou monstrous bastard! Avoid it for now!â
As the elder leaned back, the sword strike, which had been short, became longer.
The elder was in awe at the intense storm of mana tearing through the empty space.
By rapidly rotating the floating body, I was able to deflect the sword attack a little bit.
However, even so, it was a sword that Ray had drawn out while calculating distance and speed.
I raised the mana of the whole body, but I couldnât avoid all of them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thanks to this, the elderâs left arm was cut off in vain.
Slowlyâ!
âQuaaaaagh!â
In less than a second, an elder is crippled.
Ray didnât stop there.
Using the joint of the wrist to gently lift the sword, this time the head of the bearded elder fell.
With only two swings of the sword, the examination collapsed and an elder lost his life.
The vampires watching from the top of the mansion trembled.
A man with a ridiculous mask, whom he had ignored until now, was single-handedly blocking the three elders.
No, there are two now.
They experienced first hand how strong the power of those with the name of elders is.
I still get a shudder when I think of their armed forces sweeping the battlefield during a faction fight.
But now, it was completely different from then.
One died without even using their hands, and the remaining two seemed to have lost their will to fight.
The elder quickly gave the order.
âAll of you charge! push on! Although strong, he has his limits! One sword cannot slay a thousand people!â
If they were pushed behind in quality, they had to have the upper hand even in numbers.
The soldiers reluctantly raised their swords and spears at his command.
Certainly, one sword cannot cut a thousand people.
Moreover, compared to vampires, if you are a human who lacks a lot of mana, you will soon get tired of it.
If that happened, it would be no more than suffocating a human who couldnât move a finger.
Confidence soared as they thought that they were the ones who would win in the end.
However, if anyone who knew him even a little bit had seen it, they would have been full of spirits.
Ray, who even dealt with ten thousand undead necromancers.
It is said that mana is replaced with willpower only now, but if there are about 1,000 people, there is no problem with mana.
The thoughts of the soldiers were literally that of a moth jumping into a fire.
An army of one thousand men headed for Ray.
Spears and swords start flying around, and even small magic follows from the back.
1,000 soldiers using mana.
It was a battle that could not survive even if the sword master or the great mage of the 6th circle came.
Ray put his sword in front of Vermata as if it didnât matter.
Itâs like a tribute to his death.
When he put his sword into the ground up to the handle, the soldiers were now close to him.
After looking at Vermart for a moment, he moved his heart.
After training under Aira, the first power he obtained in a human body was gradually revealed.
When the mind moves and the will follows, the mana assimilated with it responds.
When Ray opened his closed eyes, the thousand soldiers had all been put to rest.
A soldier who died while running and a soldier who died while trying to draw his sword.
At most, only a few soldiers and two elders were still alive.
The elders were terrified as all the life pulsating around them died.
âItâs ridiculousâ¦â
ââ¦â
At this level, factions are no longer a problem.
They may have been facing an enemy they shouldnât have been hostile to.
Ray slowly approached them.
I dare not even think of running away, and as I am trembling, my knees are folded on their own.
I gritted my teeth and tried to resist, but it was futile.
Coming closer, he opened his mouth briefly.
âGuide me.â
I got goosebumps at the cold energy in my eyes.
It is a gaze that seems to shatter anything that blocks it.
The two elders spoke while sweating cold from the pressure of Mana.
ââ¦you will die.â
âMother is strong. Itâs not an opponent you can beat by chance.â
It seemed that he had no intention of speaking.
Ray immediately took the dagger from his waistband and stuck it into the elderâs thigh.
The elder, who tried to escape by sneaking away from the obvious attack, closed his eyes tightly when his body did not move.
Soon, an intense pain rose from the thigh.
âAaaagh!â
âI was told to guide you.â
As he twisted the dagger in both directions, blood oozes from the wound.
It is hard to describe the pain of having muscles torn and separated alive.
Eventually, one of the elders screamed and nodded frantically.
âAagh! Oh I see! Okay, stop it!â
Once one gave in, it was easy to entice the other.
Wiping the Elderâs blood-splattered mask off, Ray stood up.
He promised Vermatt that he would take care of the back.
Now that I had made up my mind to do it, I had no choice but to fix the root cause of the work.
