To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 747

Episode 747 Great Operation Before the Elf Village (4)

While the tired knights, who have marched over and over again, take a break.

Heuk-young and So-young, resting against a tree, sensed the presence.

“You have come at the right time.”

“hmm.”

Dark Spirit rose from his seat.

Greater scale than expected.

As a rule of thumb, the number of people counts thirty.

Lawton, who was guarding Levia’s side, was also wary with a nervous face, as if he had sensed the presence.

“My lady, don’t leave my side.”

“…Looking at the reaction, it looks like it came.”

“yes. The number is higher than expected.”

as soon as the words are over.

A group of knights raised a flag appeared from beyond the bush.

The man in the lead, who looked mean even at first glance, grinned.

“Lawton. I wondered where he escaped like a rat, and he was in a forest like this.”

“…Theo. Are you sure you’ll be okay? The head of the family cares for you so much, so how can you turn your back on it?”

The man named Theo shook his head at the quiet question.

“Forsaking those who follow is unacceptable as a knight. I didn’t follow Cerian family from the beginning.”

“Stop making excuses.”

Lawton drew his sword, probably not wanting to see the corruption of his comrades who had lived together for over ten years.

“You’re overdoing it on a subject that doesn’t even fit your body.”

Theo dismounted and quietly faced the sword.

The Dark Spirit, who had been watching the two of them, intervened between them.

“Stop stop. I want to make you a tempting offer.”

“Yeah man. How dare you interrupt the knight’s duel? Realize the shame.”

Dark Spirit, who was not a knight in the first place, was not hit in the slightest by their words.

Only Lawton, who was watching, expressed a little disapproval.

“We were ordered by the attendant to come to solve the Cerian family’s affairs. If you leave like this, I won’t take my life.”

The momentum of the knights around him became fierce at those words that were beyond confidence and were incomparable to madness.

“I am not crazy. Are you not even aware of the situation you are in?”

“It’s been a while since I received an order from my lord. I don’t want to do any kind of slaughter. I will tell you, but never twice.”

Even though he warned with momentum, Theo rather burned his friendly spirit.

The sword that was pointed at Lawton was soon pointed at the Dark Spirit.

“Looks like a skilled knight. Are you confident?”

“Are you going to try it?”

“ha ha ha. It’s fun. Pull out your sword and I will teach you the sky.”

The corner of the black man’s mouth went up.

This is the face he used to make when he was ordered to kill someone while he was in the Holy Land.

‘This is wrong.’

Once transformed, the black spirit must tear the opponent to pieces in order to be freed.

So why would you carelessly touch a guy with a temper?

Soyoung quietly took a few steps back.

“Come on. I will give you a handful.”

“He’s just a mouthful.”

Theo slashed his sword in a straight line, intending to finish it all at once.

As they spur the ground, the new type increases and leaves an afterimage.

number of kills.

From the moment he made up his mind, Theo was already on the verge of victory.

However, the results were different.

Dark Young easily avoided Theo’s attack by simply bending his shoulder.

“For what you said, it’s an unremarkable move.”

“…He’s a talented guy. It won’t be easy this time.”

A sword aura blooms on Theo’s sword.

The aura soon diverged into several branches and turned into a single ray of light.

Before becoming Aura Blade.

It was the upper body of the Sword Aura created by replacing the lack of enlightenment with overflowing mana in the body.

That means that the level of intermediate or advanced sword expert is sufficient.

A man like that betrayed his family, so he had no choice but to stumble.

Heukyoung said without erasing his smile.

“The Count’s knights must have had no rivals.”

“Even if you realized it, it was too late.”

“But the opponent wasn’t good at the end.”

Dark Young drew his sword.

Whoaaah-!

Enormous mana swirled and created a sword aura.

And then it was torn like a thread and joined together.

Woo-woo-!

A ghastly resonant sound like cutting flesh.

The perfect Aura Blade was there.

It was also around that time that Theo’s expression, which he had been looking at with interest, suddenly changed.

“How can a Master…!”

It was strange that there was a Master in such a forest, but what was even more strange was that the Count Cerian family, who everyone turned their backs on, wanted the Master.

Being a master is a major force in the kingdom.

Did you capture such a thing? Marquis Cerian, nothing more than a toothless tiger?

Theo gritted it.

“Who the hell is behind it?”

“Didn’t you tell me? I just came here to solve the problem of the Count Cerian family under the order of the attendant.”

“gibberish! How many people do you think there are in this kingdom who can move the Master!”

“Sometimes the unbelievable is real.”

The dark spirit, which had been laughing while showing its fangs, moved.

Let’s swing the sword as he invades Theo’s eyes without leaving even an afterimage.

Kagaga River-!

Theo, who reacted belatedly, responded.

But it was a futile resistance.

His body was slashed from the waist down by the sword of the Dark Spirit that was swung one after another, and it was too easily broken into two pieces.

Drenched in Theo’s blood, he stirred between the knights all over the place this time.

It was easy for the Dark Spirit to break through the knights who were so flustered that they didn’t even prepare for it.

“Aagh!”

“Stop! Don’t show your back!”

The leading knights struggled, but it was not enough.

Like a wolf in a herd, the knights’ necks fell off with each swing or two of his sword.

After all, how many minutes had passed?

Just as the dark spirit was soaked in blood, the forest was also stained red with the blood of the knights.

The mouths of the other knights, including Levia and Lawton, were speechless.

‘I see why the Master is called a one-man army.’

It was one to thirty.

Even though he dealt with knights who could be said to be elite, he did not dare to gauge the difference in skill between the master and the master because he only suffered a slight cut on his collar.

Soyoung frowned.

“Can’t you be a little quieter?”

She, who had previously ground the faces of bandits on the ground, blamed the Dark Spirit.

“I just did it as quietly as possible.”

“Why don’t you advertise that I’m here? Only then will the road to get there won’t be smooth.”

They have turned the forest into a mess, so those who are good at chasing will be able to find them.

At most, all the actions he had taken by removing traces around the stream were in vain.

Soyoung decided to change her mind.

“If you’re caught anyway, let’s go in a straight line from here without wasting time.”

“Ugh. That would be better.”

“From now on, there is no time to rest. Don’t even dream of camping.”

Not only Dark Young but also Levia nodded at her trustworthiness.

* * *

Roughly scattering the bodies here and there, So-yeong continued her march.

As she expected, the pursuit of the knights continued, but when it happened, the Heukyoung stepped in and took care of it, so there was no big problem.

It would have been better if there was a wagon at this time, but it took longer than expected because it was on foot.

After going up and down the mountain for a full day, they were able to enter the kingdom of Celia before they knew it.

Levia said.

“Everyone will be tired, but I want to go back to my family today. Are you okay?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“I’m fine too.”

“Then the family will treat you, so please don’t feel bad about it.”

This is near the gate.

I don’t think they’ll attack again, but it’s something that happens just in case, so Levia wasn’t vigilant at all.

On the way, they rented two wagons, and Black Young, Soyoung, Lawton, and Levia rode in the lead wagon, and wounded knights rode in the rear wagon.

Then the road became much easier.

Lawton took the coachman’s seat and sat down.

The three of them sat facing each other in the carriage.

In an atmosphere where only heavy silence continued, Soyoung threw a question.

“By the way, what is the count’s job? At this point, it’s worth telling you soon.”

“…about an heirloom of the Countess Bonn.”

After hesitating for a moment, Levi finally answered.

“Have you gone?”

“yes. It is said to bring disaster. It is a cursed thing, so to speak.”

Soyoung tilted her head.

An heirloom is something that is passed down from the family.

Knight families usually take swords as heirlooms, and famous families that have produced wizards take secrets as heirlooms.

However, it was an idea that she couldn’t easily understand with her head that there was a family that took cursed items as heirlooms.

“What do you mean by bringing disaster?”

Heukyoung also did not know English.

“It is literally. Various plagues and monsters. There may be something else. Even families claiming that the plague that hit Silian was also due to the family heirloom.”

It is unavoidable.

Since it has been a heirloom that has been shunned as a cursed item for hundreds of years, it may be enough to be hated in the current situation.

Soyoung said.

“Then can I throw it away? Heirlooms can always be replenished later.”

If what you have is a loss, you should let go of it.

Lawton sighed before Levia could answer.

“The head of the household has warned us not to throw it away no matter what happens.”

“huh? why not?”

“It’s a relic left by our ancestors, so we should treat it carefully…”

Before Lawton could finish, Levia cut him off in an uncharacteristically shrill voice.

“Lawton!”

“yes.”

“It is in front of the guests. Please don’t show ugliness by talking longer than this.”

At her restraint, Lawton shut up.

“I’m sorry. I guess I went overboard.”

It’s an unusual atmosphere.

There was interest in Soyoung’s eyes.

Levia demeans heirlooms, calling them cursed objects, and praising them as sacred objects, so there are probably not a few stories contained in them.

What’s more, they’re even trying to find an heirloom from another family.

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like an ordinary thing.

Heuk-young also spoke solemnly at first glance, as if he had the same thoughts as So-young.

“I’ll listen closely to the story when I get to the count’s house.”

“It’s not a fun story.”

“Does not matter. I want to hear in detail, so tell me without a single lie.”

“…”

Levia did not answer meekly.

However, judging from the swaying pupils, it seemed that he was deeply contemplating whether to speak or not.

She glanced at Heukyoung and Soyoung.

‘Can I really trust them?’

A master who is said to have risen to the pinnacle of the sword and a woman who is comparable to him.

And even an unknown young man who takes care of them as he pleases.

There were so many things I didn’t know, so I was afraid to reveal them.

Isn’t it reaching out to more dangerous people to protect the family from traitors?

Until the carriage entered Count Cerian’s estate, the heavy thought did not leave her mind.
