Pooha!
My accurate sword swing decapitated the enemy.
Blood gushed from the headless neck.
Instead of avoiding the fountain of blood, I charged forward.
I grasped the head flying in midair and threw it forward.
PA!
“Kkwek!”
The guy who was hit by the head fell backward with a ‘kkwek’ screech.
Their bodies were tougher than ordinary metal, so using the corpses as projectiles was quite effective.
I approached the fellow who had been hit by the skull and had not yet recovered.
As he struggled to recover his balance, I stabbed him in the heart with my sword.
Kuang!
The tip of the sword failed to pierce the enemy’s chest muscles.
It just bounced off with a sound similar to metals colliding.
There wasn’t even slight scratches on the chest, not to mention bleeding.
But the enemy still fell backward.
My aura could cut thick shields apart like turnips, but these enemies had such a solid body that scraps didn’t appear even after being attacked by my aura.
There were only two ways to do meaningful harm to them with a sword.
One way was to use techniques such as light sword to create overwhelming destructive forces.
Another was.
Split them apart.
From head to toe.
The descending sword split the enemy’s body into two clean halfs.
I doubtlessly knew it from my experience.
Aura could be influenced by the user’s will.
Although it’s still speculation, I thought aura and mana were both forces that could manifest themselves through visualization into the world using my strength.
That’s how magic was defined in the magic books.
Magic is a supernatural phenomenon that utilizes mana, techniques, and will.
But even without the required mana to process the technique, drawing mana arrays or reciting spells can produce a similar effect.
As long as the release of mana is processed to manifest Aura, then attach my will to Aura, what can be called a miracle will be achieved.
Of course, because aura has been very powerful, there was no need to process mana.
From the split halves, I glanced at the fresh viscera flowing out of the body and sheathed my sword.
There were no enemies left.
This fellow was the 1,028th opponent.
I couldn’t help sighing.
This was my hardest strife yet.
It’s not about how dangerous it was, it’s about how difficult it was.
No matter how hard I concentrated on wielding my sword, I only succeeded once every three attacks.
All of this was because my concentration has improved in combat so the hit rate had also improved. During my training, I only succeeded one in ten attacks.
In order to be more proficient in using Aura, I need more training and practical experience.
Apart from these guys, I didn’t sense any other enemies approaching the village.
But the ominous air was still spreading.
It was near the lake, in the forest, inside and outside the village. I wondered where this ominous atmosphere would eventuality spread to.
I even wondered if it could cover the entire continent or even the whole world.
[Ahbooboo.]
[Yes, Warrior.]
[Is there something wrong there? ]
[Of course.]
[The two?]
[They fainted.]
That’s weird, what?
I asked Ahbooboo what had happened.
[Because after they tried to get in touch with the temple and told them the situation here, they wanted to confirm the situation outside and get more information, so I knocked them out when they tried to go outside. It was nothing.]
After hearing Ahbooboo’s words, I really had to admit that his ‘nothing’ was effective.
Defending against the first stage of the threat, all summoned contractors in need of protection were in the residence with the holy sword to guard them well.
What should I do next?
I’ve made too many mistakes in this stage, so I’m more cautious about making a judgment.
I confirmed the clear condition again.
[Clear Condition]
– Investigate the abnormalities in Irai Lake.
– Protect the summoned contractors in your team from injury or death. The summoned contractors you have to protect are (2/2)
– ?
– ?
– ?
Now that two summoned contractors’ safety had been secured, the next goal was naturally to investigate the cause.
But the investigation was ambiguous.
Whether it’s just to identify the cause, to confirm the others’ situation, or to gather information and convey it to the temple.
There are no clear guidelines.
First of all, I should clarify the reasons behind the abnormal phenomena of the lake.
There’s a clue.
The ominous atmosphere that enveloped the world.
Although I didn’t know how far it spreads, I was aware of its origin.
[Talaria’s Wings]
I spread my wings and flew up into the sky.
High in the skies, I found that the world was operating abnormally.
The three full moons still shone with a strange light, which was an incomprehensible phenomenon, but that’s not all.
Strange birds, the size of a house, flew around and attracted my attention.
They had red tails with black feathers.
That’s the bird I’ve seen countless times in my days camping by the lake.
It should be the most common bird in this area.
But its size was not normal.
There were also jagged teeth exposed in the beak and talons that seems to possess daggers.
I began to understand the sentence in the message that “bug-eating birds began to eat people”.
Looking at the bird as it was now, it can really catch people to eat.
In that case, with such a huge body, it would be a bit difficult to survive on insects and fruits. It would be necessary to hunt large animals and humans happen to be included in the prey.
