Chapter 35. Piercing the Blood Path of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood
Curses continue, but actions are fast.
The monster herds rushing from afar were diverse.
Drake herds.
Saber Tiger herds.
Orc herds.
Yeti herds.
Etc etc etc.
Looking at the monsters rushing while boasting their respective characteristics, Elise opened her eyes sharply.
And ran forward without hesitating.
“Do not hesitate! Warriors! Rush in!”
“Look over there! Isn't the Young Lady heading there faster than anyone else! Everyone rush in!”
At the sight of Elise running out in the lead, the Northern warriors also seethe with rage and draw their respective weapons.
“Follow the Young Lady! Warriors of the North!”
Among them were those including the Seven Wolves.
They immediately follow Elise stepping out in the lead.
“Young Lady!”
“Dame Kalix!”
Five of the Seven Wolves led by Kalix.
Kalix. Hugo. Flora. Valadi. Renouvi.
They follow behind Elise like an arrow and draw their respective weapons.
“Annihilate the monsters centering on the Young Lady!”
“Young Lady! We will trust you and go!”
The appearance of those who used to spit out distrust towards Elise in the past is nowhere to be found as they look at her.
Seeing that appearance, Elise awakened Sword Qi on her blade without hesitating.
“Entire army. Follow behind me.”
Elise, who had taken on the core axis of the Northern army before they knew it, muttered lowly.
“Pierce through the monsters. Furthermore, today we will take the neck of another Seven Wild Monster.”
Wooooooooooo———————!!!
The powerful strange screams of the Northern warriors rang through heaven and earth.
***
Snow White Wolf Fang Sword.
Elise recalled these seven moves created by gathering the signature techniques of the Seven Wolves.
Her eyes are still sharp.
Enough to tear the maws of the Drakes rushing in front of her eyes.
‘The moves of the Snow White Wolf Fang Sword are a total of 7.’
The corners of her mouth go up.
‘I will unfold them unsparingly.’
To kill Derac, called the Seven Wolves Killer.
To draw his interest.
Elise made up her mind to mercilessly unfold the moves of the Snow White Wolf Fang Sword.
‘The path I go is exactly the path of plum blossoms.’
One Drake opening its maw towards Elise.
Seeing that appearance, Elise muttered lowly.
“Heavenly Flower One Path.”
Come.
Come here.
Plum blossoms.
Bloom softly beneath the path I advance, and letting the whole world know my footprints intactly.
Let them know the fact that I, the plum blossom swordswoman Elise Blaze, am here.
The moment Elise's blade harbors plum blossoms and flutters.
Slice—!
The Drake's maw was split apart while remaining completely open, its head split in half.
Hoo—.
Elise, who landed lightly on the floor, did not withdraw her blade.
——————————!!!
——————————!!!
——————————!!!
It rings.
The strange screams of the monsters that will be beaten to death.
However, there was no need to worry.
Because there will be no moment for Elise's blade to stop.
***
‘…Good heavens.’
Magic Swordswoman Ereka.
She, a competent swordswoman who even knows how to handle magic, was following behind Elise and watching her behavior.
[Protect her. She is an important person.]
Because there were words the Northern Grand Duke, Gayrad Deltarch, requested while attaching Ereka to her.
It wasn't simply because she was the youngest daughter of one of the Empire's 5 Great Ducal Houses and Duke Blaze treasured her that the Grand Duke gave such an order.
Not as Duke Blaze's close friend Gayrad, but from the standpoint of Grand Duke Deltarch, the reliable iron wall protecting the North of the Empire, her utility value was limitless.
If so, he must protect her even if it means attaching a person.
Ereka understood Grand Duke Gayrad's mind well, but the sight unfolding before her eyes naturally raised questions.
‘The reason to protect the Young Lady is…. No, to be exact, do I have to protect the Young Lady?’
Ereka muttered without realizing it.
“When she fights that well?”
In front of her eyes, there was only a single swordsman casting her blade with the momentum to fight against the entire world.
‘I feel it.’
And in the middle of that commotion, Elise stretched out her arm while holding Rina.
Snow White Wolf Fang Sword.
2nd Form.
The move of Frost Sword Hugo's signature technique, Ice White Great Mountain Sword.
The move Elise made from this in her own way is exactly.
“Ice White Flower Flow Sword.”
Because the petals of plum blossoms dare not freeze even in front of the white and cold snowfield.
Riding and riding the flow of the petals, it lets the whole world know that plum blossoms are here.
Looking at the Yetis, the wildmen of the snowfield, approaching right before her eyes, Elise's blade flutters.
Slice—! Slice—!
Kueoeeoooo————!!!
While the Yeti herd fell, Elise's gaze and blade were not looking at them.
A farther place.
She looked at the one among the group slowly revealing its appearance far away.
“Derac.”
Seven Wolves Killer, Derac.
He revealed his appearance.
The battle was just beginning.
***
“Reorganize the ranks! It's the appearance of the Six Wild Monsters!”
Derac sneered at the shouts ringing among the Northern warriors.
“Heh. These guys are trying to scratch our tempers. To call us Six Wild Monsters instead of Seven Wild Monsters now. Kuhehe! That guy Jeffrey. Who knew he would die so lamely.”
“I agree. Derac. Like a stupid Jeffrey.”
“Kuhehe! Nagagor. Our minds align for the first time in a while.”
The moment the two Six Wild Monsters muttered.
They had to feel the piercing gazes felt from among the Northern warriors.
“Kuhehe. Have you come again. Kid.”
“She's not quite at the level to be called a kid anymore, though.”
“Kuhehe! Are you acknowledging her now. Nagagor. Indeed, it's also strange not to acknowledge a woman who injured you as soon as you first met.”
“…Don't talk about shameful pasts. Derac.”
“Kuhehe! I'm sorry.”
While they were talking, someone among the warriors hurriedly started running over.
“We proceed as prepared. Nagagor.”
“It is a bit regrettable that it's not a frontal match.”
“That bitch should have been killed earlier. Let's kill her on this occasion.”
The one running over is none other than….
“Have you finally revealed yourself.”
Elise Blaze.
She was a woman called the sole plum blossom swordswoman and Blood Flower Sword Demon of this world.
“She's coming.”
“Kuhehe! Let's lure her.”
Saying so, Nagagor and Derac falling back at the same time.
Seeing that appearance, Elise guessed.
‘These guys. They are openly luring me into a trap.’
Considering they came out right now….
It could be a thought to simply join the monster attack and wipe out the Northern warriors, but.
If you think a bit more, you realize that action is meaningless.
Because they can just stay stuck inside and wait for us to come.
‘It's not that their bodies were itching from staying still…. They must have thrown bait on purpose.’
Because monsters appeared, they might not come out of wariness.
So these guys crawled out.
If so.
“Traps or whatever. I will smash everything you guys are thinking.”
Elise raised her blade.
If they come out like this, she also has no choice but to step up properly.
And above all.
She was not alone.
“Lady Elise!”
“Young Lady!”
Kalix and Ereka immediately following up.
The moment the three people approached Elise.
Elise shouted.
“We follow!”
Elise's gaze heads towards the two Six Wild Monsters fleeing far away.
“On this opportunity, we kill them somehow.”
“But Young Lady! This is a trap no matter who looks at it…!”
“Dame Ereka! I am also aware of the situation! However, not catching them on this opportunity could create a bigger trap later!”
I have to catch him.
That bastard.
At Elise's words, Ereka and Kalix also nodded.
“Let's try catching them. It looks like we'll shit blood today, but. Still, we have to do it.”
“…If push comes to shove, I will take you two and escape with magic as much as possible.”
“That's reassuring. Dame Ereka.”
The blades of the three people look at the barbarians fleeing far away.
We catch them this time.
***
The forward base placed inside between two cliffs.
The topographical advantage naturally revealed fear, but that wasn't all.
Because the blades of the barbarians spread in that base were the truly lurking fear.
“Kill them!”
“Kill them! Kill the dogs of the Empire!”
“Kill them and hang their corpses!”
Barbarians appearing like traps all over the forward base.
The moment they each aimed their blades at the three people running in the lead while holding fierce weapons.
“Come.”
With Elise's two eyes bloodshot.
And at the same time with her brows narrowed.
Her waist turned in an instant, and at the same time her blade flashed.
Slice—!
Along with a clear cutting sound, a barbarian's head falls off in an instant.
At the same time the head falls off, a single thick plum blossom leaf flutters.
The plum blossom leaf made of Sword Qi falls to the ground, but Elise's blade was just beginning.
Slice—! Slice—! Slice—!
Echo.
Echoes ring in a chain.
Echoes gradually amplifying while going back and forth between the two cliffs.
The cause of those echoes is exactly.
“I say it again. Come.”
Because it was the cutting sound rung by Elise, who cut down everything approaching.
Centering on her, a scene of a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood was densely spread out.
As the blood of the dead barbarians meets the temperature of the North, subtle steam rises.
In that hazy scenery, Elise's frost-like sharp gaze looks at the barbarians.
“If you don't come.”
Clack—.
“I will go.”
Bang—!
At the same time plum blossom petals wet with blood flutter behind her footsteps.
Elise's blade dances.
The scenery of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood becomes even deeper.
And even the scenery of the path made of blood becomes even deeper.
***
The two people following Elise stepping out in the lead.
Ereka and Kalix.
Those two people had no choice but to be astonished watching Elise drawing a path of blood with her own hands in front of their eyes.
‘How many people has she cut…?’
A corner of the Seven Wolves, Kalix.
From a certain moment, she gave up counting the number of barbarians Elise had cut.
I don't know how many people she cut.
I don't know how many people's heads she cut down.
How many people. How many people….
‘I don't know well, but…. It roughly exceeds three digits. Good heavens.’
She cut down hundreds of barbarians lurking in this forward base.
And they are not just barbarians.
They were barbarian warriors.
How could the barbarian warriors carefully selected from among tens of thousands of barbarians to come to this battlefield be ordinary?
Beyond each and every one being able to face off against the Northern warriors.
They are those who could kill all the people there if released in a village.
Such people….
Such people have their necks cut off like chunks of meat and roll on the ground?
This oh my god.
Kalix shouted looking at Elise wielding her sword ceaselessly at the lead.
“Young Lady! Let's alternate the lead! At this rate, the Young Lady will get exhausted first!”
“It is fine.”
Slice—!
Elise, who shoved her sword into the forehead of another barbarian warrior, muttered.
Thump—!
Elise, who kicked the corpse with her foot, continued her words.
“My stamina is sufficient.”
She couldn't help it.
Because the vitality given by the heart of the Dragon of Eternity is circulating in her body right now.
This much is.
Sufficient.
Utilizing the fully circulating stamina, she finally enters the inside of the forward base.
Along with that, the moment she cuts a barbarian warrior again.
Kuhehe—.
Someone's blade covered Elise piercing through the corpse of the dead barbarian warrior.
Kang—!
“Goddamn bastard.”
“Kuhehe. Thanks for the compliment. Right, let's see….”
Along with Derac among the falling barbarian corpses.
“Elise Blazeeeeeee!!!”
Another one among the Six Wild Monsters.
Even Nagagor proudly revealed his appearance.
“Right, you goddamn bastards.”
Elise raised her blade and spoke towards the trash in front of her eyes.
“Let's finish what we started.”
The fighting spirit contained in her eyes blazed like flames and shot towards all people.
