-----------------------------------------------------------------
Carcus tried to pull out the golden spear with his left arm.
However.
Tssssssss......!
"Krgh!"
That didn't go well either.
It seemed he was feeling the heat far more intensely than what I was sensing.
The golden spear that I used for the first time in actual combat.
As expected of a mythology class exclusive skill.
Even though it was just a common skill, it was quite satisfying.
Having used it directly just once, I immediately got a sense of how to utilize it.
'If I will it to disappear, it vanishes......'
Seureurk.
And if I will it to be created again.
Flash!
It was created in my hand.
I threw it at Carcus again.
Thunk!
"Kwaaaaak!"
This time, the golden spear pierced through his left shoulder and embedded itself in the wall.
Enraged, Carcus struggled desperately to lunge at me.
"Krrrr! I'll kill you! I'll rip your head off!"
Was his strength at least real?
He gave up on pulling out the golden spear and chose the direction of tearing down the wall instead.
Kwaduk! Hudududuk......
The spear was still embedded in his shoulder, but as the wall behind him crumbled, Carcus was freed.
Thanks to that, his shoulder was torn to shreds.
But his will to fight had not been broken.
Baron Romhadi, who had been watching that absurd sight, was horrified.
"What monstrous strength......!"
Meanwhile.
Carcus was already shooting straight toward me.
Before the hole was made in his torso, he had at least moved while twisting his direction.
Now, perhaps heated up, he just ran in a straight line at the shortest distance.
"Uaaaaaaah!"
This actually made it easier.
I lightly rolled my body to the side and dodged him like a bullfighter.
Quickly recovering my center.
Fasseut!
I drove my fist loaded with black lightning into his flank.
Jjeojeojeong!
"Uggeuggeuk!"
It must have been thrilling.
Still, befitting something that at least had the appearance of a monster.
He endured the pain well and began attacking again.
He swung his left arm widely, cutting through the air as he extended his fist toward my face.
I simply positioned my sword lightly in the direction of that fist.
He probably thought he would send me flying along with the sword.
Not a chance.
The blade with spatial cutting activated began slicing through Carcus's fist the moment it made contact.
Seuuuuk.
So lightly that I couldn't even feel any friction.
He had extended his fist with the resolve to send me flying, but instead only his own hand was being cut, so Carcus was startled and withdrew his hand.
However, about half of his fist had already been split open.
"Krrrrrr......!"
"Why? Not going the way you thought it would?"
That's just how things in the world are.
Anyway, since I had defended once, this time......
"It's my turn, right?"
Sssik!
At my bright smile, Carcus's face turned white as a sheet of paper.
His anticipation seemed certain, so I couldn't possibly disappoint him, could I.
"Huwup!"
Drawing in my breath, I rotated my entire body and powerfully drove my left arm into his solar plexus.
Bwaaaaaaak!
With the destructive power of the Giant God Soldier's left arm added to it.
Kudang, tang! Kwadang! Kuuuuung......!
Carcus bounced several times on the ground and embedded himself straight into the wall.
It was fun.
'As expected, demons are meant to be beaten.'
Enough to make the corners of my mouth twitch.
It felt like adrenaline was bursting out wildly.
Watching the demon's expression twisted in pain was incomparably exciting.
I gently swung the sword held in my right hand.
"Should I cut off your feet? Should I chop off your arms?......"
As the dust settled, Carcus glared at me with those red eyes.
But I wasn't scared at all.
Rather, I was just getting more excited.
With a demon right before my eyes, it was difficult to control this elation anyway.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The fact that I didn't lose my reason and immediately kill him like with Straun could already be considered great improvement.
Meanwhile, Carcus, perhaps having lost strength in his neck, was looking up at me with his head drooping.
But then, he suddenly smiled.
"You monster-like bastard. Are you even really human?"
"......"
Did he get hit so much his head went strange?
Carcus continued speaking.
"Right. If you're that much, I won't feel wronged."
Hm. He really must have gone crazy.
That's when it happened.
Carcus's eyes widened as he shouted.
"If we die together, the road to the afterlife won't be boring! Kahahaha! See you in hell!"
He opened his mouth wide.
Sparse sharp teeth came into view.
In that state, he stuck out his tongue!
I immediately saw through his intention.
He was trying to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
'What? Did I toy with him too much!'
I too seemed to have been intoxicated by excitement.
I had gotten rid of the sword that could have slit his own throat, so I had let my guard down for a moment......!
Even during this, Carcus's teeth were flying toward his tongue like a guillotine.
I urgently stamped my feet.
'To think I'd have to save a demon who's trying to die!'
But the problem was......his teeth were slightly faster than my speed.
'Damn! I'm too late......!'
That moment.
Shuuuung!
Something passed by, grazing my cheek.
And then.
Puk!
"Kwaaaak!"
Carcus screamed.
The reason was that an iron arrow had pierced through his cheek.
Thanks to that, he couldn't bite his tongue.
Kadeuk!
He only bit the iron arrow.
"Eo eo eaiiiya!"
He probably said something like "which bastard is this."
I was curious too, so I turned around.
There, hanging from the window while putting away a wrist crossbow, was the playable rogue character.
Revarsen was there.
She winked with one eye.
"This is repayment for getting me out. Then......see you again, cutie."
After even blowing a hand kiss, she leaped backward and disappeared.
Her red hair fluttering was the last thing I saw.
'But, this is......the third floor?......'
As expected of a main character.
She was impressive.
I wanted to chase after her right away, but there was no way I could follow Revarsen's movements anyway.
I turned my gaze back to Carcus.
Having lost even his last resort, he was sitting with a dumbfounded expression.
The corners of my mouth rose again.
Thud, thud.
I slowly approached him.
Muttering quietly.
"I'll have to pull out all those teeth......so you can never pull any tricks again......"
"Eoeoeok, eoeoeoeng, eoeoeok!"
He shook his head frantically and said something.
But this time even I couldn't understand what he was saying.
I wasn't particularly curious anyway.
As my answer to that, I raised my fist.
"Be quiet."
Bbagak! Bbagak! Bbagak!
I kindly provided dental care.
Stitch by stitch.
Handmade.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Bang!
I roughly opened the city hall door and dragged out Carcus, who had become a bloody mess.
The battle seemed to still be in progress.
Clang! Chagang!
"Uwak!"
"Dieeee!"
"Kheuk?"
However, at my appearance, the battle momentarily stopped.
"These bastards! Cut their necks......"
"Wh-what is that......?"
"......"
I smoothly looked around at those present, then deliberately began to step toward the center.
Dragging......
I walked slowly, crossing through that place that had become a battlefield.
And behind me, Baron Romhadi followed.
In his hands, Haviaton was also being dragged out.
Both of them had passed out from my stun punch in a friendly manner.
People's gazes concentrated on me.
Probably because of this guy who had become a monster.
Moreover, since I was dragging that monster out completely wrecked.
At that sight, the faces of the Carcus Mercenary Band mercenaries froze.
Finally standing in the center, I.
Opened my mouth with a loud voice.
"Surrender. I command in the name of the Inquisitor! If you surrender now, the Order will at least bestow minimal mercy. However, if you absolutely refuse to listen to my words and insist on resisting......! I won't stop you. Instead, I promise this one thing."
I swept over the bastards of the Carcus Mercenary Band with wide eyes.
And then continued with my last words in a small voice.
"You will properly experience hell."
Gulp.
After hearing someone swallow their dry saliva.
A brief silence.
And then.
The sound of someone dropping their sword first was heard.
Chaenggeurang......
With that as the starting point, countless swords fell to the ground.
Chaeng, chaenggeurang, chagang......
Thus, we seized victory.
"Waaaaaaah!"
"Long live Baron Romhadi!"
"Long live Sir Rohan!"
"Waaaaaaah!"
On a moonlit night.
Cheers louder than broad daylight burst out from all directions.
Giant cheers.
Cutting through the soldiers savoring victory, Diaz revealed herself.
"You've worked hard, Sir Rohan."
"You worked hard too. But. Who's that beside you?"
On Diaz's shoulder leaned an injured old man.
At my question, the old man answered directly.
"My name is Garun. I almost died, but this paladin saved me. Did you say Sir Rohan? I'm truly grateful. Both of you. I'm truly grateful!"
Garun?
That blacksmith?
'Ah......this was the point when the blacksmith became a wraith.'
According to his words, he would have died if not for Diaz.
Is that why?
"Stay in the city for a few days. I want to make you a sword myself."
"You seem to be injured."
"Ah. This isn't my blood. Just my leg is a bit hurt, so there's no problem with swinging a hammer."
"Is that so."
"I don't make promises I can't keep."
"Hm."
I nodded.
And then looked back at Diaz.
"I made sure they absolutely cannot commit suicide. Take both of them and tie them up in the forest outside the city."
"Understood!"
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
She didn't waste time and immediately carried out my command.
She had tied up Carcus and Haviaton at a location some distance away.
"I drove away all the wild beasts in the vicinity as well. But......what are you planning to do now?"
I loosened my shoulders gently.
"There's no need to leave future troubles. I'll finish it here."
"Yes? How......"
She had reason to tilt her head in puzzlement.
There was no bow in my hands, and Diaz had not yet seen me use the golden spear.
So I was thinking of showing her directly this time.
"Like this."
Fwaaat!
As I waved my arm, the golden trident appeared again in my empty hand.
Low admiration flowed from the mouths of the people surrounding me.
"Oooh......!"
"That's incredible!"
"Is this the Seven Knights?"
"No. I've seen Sir Klaus before, and it wasn't to this extent."
Various sounds could be heard, but I didn't particularly answer each one.
There was no need to.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on detecting Carcus's presence.
Since I knew the direction precisely, I could detect his presence faster than expected.
Flash!
Aiming the spear precisely at Carcus.
I made a slight leap and threw the spear.
Still, since the surrounding reactions were interesting, I displayed a bit of showmanship right before throwing and added a lightning effect as well.
Jjeojeojeong!
The golden spear flew through the night sky with thunder.
Even I could see the impact was certain.
"Uwoooooh!"
"Kya! What a spectacle!"
"Waaah......"
The golden spear gradually moved away and hid its form among the trees.
Pyueong......!
Poisonous fog rose, announcing Carcus's death.
