Chapter 8. The Surprise Visit of the Seven Wild Monsters
3rd Rank.
Although she had stepped into the realm of a first-rate warrior before she knew it, Elise intuitively felt it.
From now on, there will be various obstacles to moving forward.
‘Will it take some time to draw out Sword Qi?’
Sword Qi.
Tangible and intangible energy formed by emitting internal energy through a sword.
It was also a power compared to Aura in so-called fantasy.
Elise frowned.
‘Since it’s a Romance Fantasy world, I don’t know if it will be Aura or Sword Qi.’
A slight doubt arose, but she soon stopped caring.
Doesn’t martial arts move according to myself, not revolving around the world?
Whether it’s Sword Qi or Aura, what’s important is myself.
The moment Elise steadied her mind, she looked around.
It’s chilly.
It’s a coldness where the chill seems visible.
Elise was operating her cultivation method in simple attire in the middle of it.
And in front of her.
“Fortunately, there seems to be nothing special today. Young Lady, follow me well!”
Warrior of the North.
Among them, a powerhouse within two fingers.
One of the Seven Wolves, Kalix was smiling brightly.
Currently, Elise was incorporated into the Northern Grand Duke’s army and was performing guard and patrol duties.
***
“His Highness the Grand Duke is also quite amazing. To put a Ducal House’s Young Lady into duty. It’s an idea impossible unless it’s the Grand Duke.”
“It is what I also wished for, so it is fine.”
“Really?”
Kalix, who was walking ahead, turned her head back.
Along with that, the corners of her eyes draw an arc.
“Excuse me, Young Lady.”
“Yes. Dame Kalix.”
“That…. If it is not rude, may I ask just one thing?”
“…Please speak. If it is Dame Kalix.”
Elise nodded readily.
Kalix is the one who came to save her from Nagagor.
Elise was not drunk on the authority of a noble to the extent of not being able to listen to one question from such a woman.
Rather, she was closer to shedding authority.
In the first place, being possessed, what honor and dignity would she take care of.
When Elise nodded, Kalix asked.
“That…. According to rumors. I heard you ran away from the Ducal House. Is it true?”
“It is true.”
“Gasp.”
Elise did not deny it.
Because it was true.
If she stayed in the Ducal House holding onto a terminally ill body, no answer was visible.
Even if she tried to do something while staying in the Duchy, the candle burning life is melting down gradually.
Although it is still a time before the original work, not long after the original work starts, Elise dies.
It was urgent. There is no time.
For that, she must confirm the legend in the North and kill it to take the heart.
“My body is weak. Dame.”
“I know. The Young Lady’s rumor is to the extent of reaching even me, a Wolf of the North.”
“…Probably. My breath might stop before long.”
“Why such words.”
“If I, the owner of the body, feel that way, wouldn’t it be correct. Therefore, Dame.”
Elise looked at Kalix and spoke.
“I came looking for a legend of the North.”
“…Ah. Don’t tell me? Dragon of Eternity?”
“That is correct. The five darknesses handed down to the Northern barbarians. Among them, the Dragon of Eternity that gives eternal life and power if you eat its heart. I am looking for that guy.”
“Tsk. That. Phew. Actually, it is a story Northern people also heard a lot when young. The Five Darknesses of the North that even barbarians fear. One who kills all those darknesses gains immense power….”
Kalix spread her two hands and shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, there is also a joke that on the day the Great Warrior who killed those darknesses arrives, true darkness comes to the North. Well, it’s just a story though.”
At Kalix’s words, Elise groped her memory for a moment.
Those words, definitely….
‘From what I know, that isn’t a lie. Actually, even in the original work, the invasion of barbarians will come.’
Great Warrior.
An existence that takes the Seven Wild Monsters of the North as subordinates and invades the Empire.
In the original work, along with Alicia’s men cooperating to catch him.
Alicia Shudroy even charmed the Great Warrior to catch him….
Mm. For reference, it is true.
That woman of beauty capable of toppling a nation made even the Barbarian Great Warrior fall for her.
Along with that, to put it differently, the Great Warrior of the original work is what the original protagonist with incomprehensible probability stepped up to catch.
An existence that cannot be ignored.
Besides that, various dangers are lurking in this world….
Elise felt there were truly many moments to fight.
Why does a Ro-Fan worldview have so many of these elements.
Although when reading the book, there were many moments resolved before one knew it in a Ro-Fan style.
While Elise was lost in thought, Kalix spoke.
“That thing called Dragon of Eternity. I will try talking to other Seven Wolves too. Probably everyone will help. Warriors of the North do not abandon family.”
“…Am I also family?”
“If you fought together even once, wouldn’t you be family.”
At her simple yet conviction-showing words, Elise smiled faintly.
Northern warriors.
They are people with simple yet sharp convictions.
In this complex Ro-Fan world, in a way, they might be the simplest people.
The moment Elise’s complicated mind was also organized by her heart.
Dudududududu——!
Something.
Something approaches and the ground starts to shake greatly.
Elise’s gaze moves quickly first and looks at the one approaching while raising huge dust clouds in the distance.
“…Barbarian?”
Far away.
A tall giant. Something reaching a whopping 2m in height runs towards them.
Along with loose long hair, metaphysical paintings are drawn on the whole body.
In contrast, the face has even teeth along with refreshing yet thick lines standing out.
The moment Elise wondered what that was and looked, Kalix beside her shouted.
“Damn it! It’s the Seven Wild Monsters! It’s the appearance of the Demonic Man, Bachra, of the Seven Wild Monsters!”
Along with that, Kalix took out her weapon without hesitation.
Whoosh—!
She turns her wrist in an instant and takes out a trident.
Along with the moment the 3 spearheads spinning elegantly emitted light, when the Northern warriors who were together all drew their swords.
Kalix’s roar burst out.
“Where does a mere barbarian dare come towards the Empire! Seven Wild Monsters, Bachra!”
Even so, the giant man running without stopping.
At the time the sound of the ground shaking grew louder, this time a roar rang out from the opposite side.
“Kuhahahaha!!! Who is the woman who dealt with Nagagor who disgraced the name of the Seven Wild Monsters!”
His thick eyes draw an arc.
“It’s you! Woman with blood-colored hair!”
Bachra did not hesitate.
At the same time his thick fist is clenched in an instant, he starts turning his hand as if holding a fierce artillery shell.
“Kuhahahaha!!! Show me that power that dealt with Nagagor too!!!”
It was an instant.
At the same time the black lines surrounding Bachra’s body emitted light for an instant, the mana they usually called the power of stars radiated.
At that moment, Bachra’s body stretched like taffy and immediately pierced through the warriors and occupied the front of Elise.
“God damn…!”
The moment even Kalix, called a Wolf of the North, reacted half a beat late.
The very moment Bachra’s thick fist struck Elise’s head and tried to break it like a watermelon bursting.
Clack—.
At the same time a blade popping out of the sheath intervened to face that mighty power.
At that time when Elise’s two eyes met Bachra’s two eyes.
“Soft Sword.”
Her sword which drew a soft curve twisted the trajectory Bachra’s giant fist contained.
————————————!!!
Elise’s figure bounced off immediately.
Elise spinning several times cutting through the empty air.
Screeeech—!
Elise, who barely stopped dragging her feet only after rotating her body several times, took a stance holding Rina drawn.
Lower body solid. Upper body ready to spring out anytime.
Fire lit up in her two eyes before she knew it.
Bang!
Meanwhile, Bachra barely dodged the spear tip of Kalix rushing in clutching her spear and backed off immediately.
The moment they confronted each other before they knew it.
Bachra’s gaze was not directed towards Kalix called one of the Wolves of the North.
The light of fire the giant barbarian burned in his two eyes was none other than the slender Duke’s daughter.
“Ha! Nagagor, that kid’s words were right.”
Grind. Grrind.
“To think the sword of a woman who looks like she would die any moment contains more than the elders of our tribe. This, makes me jealous?”
A smile is built on Bachra’s lips.
“If I chew up that small head whole. How, could I obtain that seasoning?”
Elise did not answer.
Just holding the stance.
Waiting for the moment to swing the sword and gain the upper hand at any moment.
At Elise’s silence, Bachra trembled with chatter and waved his hand.
“Whew—. Just kidding. Just kidding. We also don’t do things like cracking heads and eating them. However?”
A deep smile is built on Bachra.
“If I crush that pretty face. How, how much crying will you vomit out? I’m curious?”
“Shut your trap! Bachra! How dare you!”
“Whoa. Sorry sorry. Was it Kalix? Are you perhaps sulking because I didn’t give you attention?”
Bachra shrugged his shoulders with his arms spread.
“I am generous. I have a whopping 5 wives. How about it, do you have thoughts?”
“Shut that mouth! Bachra! Stop the nonsense and state your purpose for coming here!”
“Whoa. So scary. It’s nothing special.”
Bachra’s gaze, drawing an arc, heads towards Elise.
“The news that Nagagor was beaten badly spread all over. And by a woman who looks like she would die any moment at that. Good heavens. How can I endure such interesting news. So I secretly came out here. I have confidence in running away.”
“Ha. How dare you say such things nonchalantly in front of me.”
“Whoa whoa. Kalix. Calm down. Because you know clearly that you can’t catch me if I decide to run away.”
Bachra pointed at Elise with his index finger and spoke.
“I hope you overcome that weak body. Then wouldn’t you be able to have a fun match with us Seven Wild Monsters.”
Lick—.
Bachra’s tongue licks his lips.
“Because we are all looking forward to it. Kuhaha! You should have seen the face of that fool Nagagor too. Ah. Aah.”
Suddenly Bachra’s body starts to lower slowly.
Shortly after, Bachra took a posture to run out somewhere at any moment.
He spoke to Elise until the end.
“Then, red-haired woman, did you say Elise? I will look forward to it.”
Bang!
“Stop right thereeee!!!”
The moment Kalix chased after Bachra running away like an arrow clutching her spear.
Elise did not take her eyes off Bachra without relaxing her stance, then.
Phew—.
She sighed quietly and relaxed her stance.
Reasons to learn martial arts somehow increased.

“Such a thing happened….”
Grand Duke Gayrad fell into deep thought touching his chin.
Seven Wild Monsters.
I ordered her not to clash with those guys, but rather those guys are showing interest in the Young Lady.
“Even so. It is a pity to let that talent rot.”
The Northern Grand Duke, Gayrad Deltarch is the Iron Wall of the North.
Therefore, he knows the cards he holds skillfully.
If there is a card among them that will reveal a powerful blade, naturally it is right to use it.
“I gave the Twig of Ristoire as a price for saving Ravia and making Yuric come to his senses a little, but.”
Grand Duke Gayrad smiled.
“As expected, it was a bit lacking. Shouldn’t a blade be dipped in molten iron to be forged further.”
Grand Duke Gayrad decided.
Elise Blaze.
To give something to make her body even a little healthy.
Well, if push comes to shove, I can just put it on the Blaze Ducal House’s tab.
There was nothing to lose.
And if.
“If she grows beyond what she received, if…. She defeats the Seven Wild Monsters. Just imagining it is delightful.”
With a hopeful feeling, Grand Duke Gayrad laughed.
No one knows what the future will be.
Who knows if it will really happen.
Whether she will pull it off.
The smile did not leave Grand Duke Gayrad’s lips.
