The Nun's Despair
Can I save Chil-dol? I wanted to rescue him immediately, but if I tried that now, we would all be slaughtered.
That nun...!
She really is using some kind of mysterious power. To split a wooden shield with a one-handed sword? Splitting wood is never an easy task. It’s something you can only do after hammering away at it with an axe like a madman.
"Go to hell, you fucking monsters! Do you really think I’d die at the hands of pieces of shit like you!"
The nun was rampaging like a lunatic.
"Ker-euk!"
Every time she swung her blade, the goblins' shields shattered and their spear shafts were sliced through. Every time she kicked, goblins went flying like deflated soccer balls, letting out wheezing cries.
"Ke-rak!"
Even as they did, the goblin spearmen thrust their weapons at her.
—Thwack!
For some reason, the spears couldn't pierce that thin nun’s habit; they bounced off as if they’d struck something solid. It was as if... she were wearing armor in the shape of a nun’s habit.
How is something like this possible?
Spears don't work, she’s skilled with a sword, and she’s using superhuman strength. Three goblins were already down.
What do I do?
Should I retreat like this?
Are our attacks completely ineffective? There’s a protective barrier wrapped around her body. What on earth is that power! What is this crazy superhuman!
"Grrr!"
I pushed those questions to the back of my mind! If I don't make a decision, my subordinates will just keep dying!
"Kieeeeeee!"
I let out a war cry to draw her aggro toward me!
"Ha! I was wondering where that dog-barking was coming from! You talked a big game, but you were nothing but a piece of shit! Get ready to die!"
"Fuck off, you titty-nun!"
"What!"
"Goblins! Everyone, attack at once!"
The moment I commanded them in the Demon Tongue, infusing it with mana, the eyes of the goblins—who had been half-terrified—erupted with a fierce light!
"Ker-eureuk!"
"Ke-reuk!"
"Ke-rurung!"
With that, the goblins kicked off the ground in unison and charged at the nun!
"Ugh!"
The goblins' spears grazed the nun’s body. In reality, they had made contact, but because they bounced off, it looked like they had just slipped past. As expected, it’s not working.
But the nun was taking a defensive stance. And she didn't seem to like being stabbed. As I thought. There is a limit to that power.
Then we can win!
"Sharan!"
"Maa-ster!"
"Go to the other side! Get behind that bitch!"
Using Sharan recklessly is dangerous. She doesn't even have decent armor. Sharan’s attack power is high, but the moment she gets caught by the nun’s sword, she’ll be bleeding out.
Now that I know the goblins' spears aren't working properly, I have to keep Sharan as the final striker.
With Sharan’s attack power, she might be able to pierce that barrier!
"Catch her from behind! Wait for my signal, then attack!"
"Yes, Maa-ster!"
—Whoosh!
Sharan immediately sprinted to the nun’s rear.
Good!
"You there! The goblins in the back! Shift positions! We have to surround that bitch! Encircle her!"
"Ke-reuk!"
"What the hell are you babbling about!"
She couldn't understand because it was the Demon Tongue. But the nun paid close attention every time I spoke.
The result.
—Whoosh!
The goblins who received the order moved to surround the nun! If we just surround her like this! If we can attack from all sides, we can definitely win!
I have to surround her no matter what!
"You little shits! Where do you think you're going!"
Did she notice?
The nun shouted fiercely and tried to respond.
Of course, I couldn't let her respond. I had to buy time for the goblins to surround her. Naturally, I couldn't attack carelessly. I could consider my throat slit the moment I got close.
But I have a ranged attack method!
"You titty-nun!"
"You fucking bastard!"
"Demon Breath!"
I spewed fire while sprinting straight toward her!
—Whoosh!
Seeing the flames shot at her, the nun stopped moving and took a defensive stance. As I watched that, I prepared my next attack, but then.
"Tch!"
Her clothes burned?!
The nun’s clothes were slightly scorched.
"Is that so! My mana can cause her harm!"
My mana might be consuming or canceling out that mysterious power of hers! Good! I just need to fight while uncovering the truth about her like this!
"Guys! Hurry! Run! Surround her! Surround her! Encircle her!"
Demon Breath once more!
"This fucking bastard is spewing dirty shit!"
She couldn't handle the flames, so the nun cursed and defended herself.
In the meantime.
"Got it!"
"Ker-eureuk!"
Finally, the goblins ran around and succeeded in surrounding the nun.
"Kwahahaha! Well done! Well done! We’ve surrounded her! You nun-bitch! You’re surrounded!"
"This fucking asshole! You cowardly piece of shit!"
"Where is there cowardice in a fight!"
She was clearly flustered!
"Ugh...!"
Now that she was surrounded, the nun was feeling anxious. That’s right. No matter how much of a superhuman you are, there’s a limit. You only held out because you were a superhuman to begin with. You’re surviving while fighting a goblin platoon armed with spears all by yourself.
But that ends here!
No matter how powerful a tank is, it can't crush enemies alone. That’s what war and battle are. No matter how strong you are, if you're alone, you can't handle the sheer numbers!
"Ker-eureuk!"
"Ke-rurung!"
The goblins' morale soared because they had surrounded the nun. The nun also stopped attacking and was just busy pointing her sword in all directions, threatening us.
"Get lost, you filthy shits! I’ll kill whoever comes first!"
"Hoo... hoo... You bark quite fiercely. Are you afraid?"
"Shut your mouth!"
"Surrender. If you surrender, I’ll at least spare your life."
"Bullshit!"
The nun shouted fiercely.
"Spare me? You? You know that’s a load of bullshit, right?"
"Why do you think so negatively?"
I caught my breath while speaking. I need to find the attack timing. I don't want the desperate nun to take my goblins with her as companions on the road to death.
"Nun. I have a few things I'm curious about. Why don't you just surrender."
"K-keke! You crazy rapist bastard!"
"Huh?"
"Are you that curious about my body? Fuck off. Today, either you or me. One of us is definitely going to die."
No, I didn't say I was curious about your body.
"I’d rather die fighting than lose my purity. If you want to rape me, you’ll have to kill me, you cursed demon bastard!"
"This crazy bitch!"
She keeps acting like a lunatic!
I looked at Sharan immediately.
"...!"
She was glowing behind the nun.
Sharan can use forest magic. She can use magic to bind feet with vines. She has to use that.
But this is a skill that drains a lot of Sharan’s power. And it’s not instantaneous. It’s a bit hard to land.
Above all, with that nun’s superhuman strength, she could easily break free. But. If it just hits, we can buy a few seconds, and if it’s that much, we can all rush in together and beat her up.
Let’s assume we only have one chance.
"Guys! When I give the signal, take exactly four steps forward and scream!"
After delivering the order in the Demon Tongue.
"You’re dead now!"
"Bring it on!"
I provoked the nun!
"Then, advance!"
"Ke-ryaaaaak!"
At the same time, the goblins surrounding the nun all advanced at once! This was a fake signal! But!
"Haaaaap!"
The nun braced herself, thinking she was being attacked, and at that moment, I kicked off the ground, pretending to charge, and shouted.
"Sharan! Bind her feet!"
"Yes, Maa-ster!"
And.
—Whoosh!
The advancing goblins stopped.
"What...?"
The moment the nun expressed her confusion.
—Crackle!
—Crackle!
Vines that burst from the ground bound the nun’s ankles.
"What?!"
Finally.
Finally, we caught her!
"Everyone!!!"
One foot is sealed! I charge before the nun can respond!
"Chaaaaarge!!!"
"Ke-ryaaaaak!"
"Ke-rurung!"
War cries erupted, and all the goblins, myself, and Sharan charged at the nun in unison.
"This fuuuuuck!"
The nun, looking around, finally targeted me and braced herself. She looked like she wanted to rush at me, but her ankles were caught in the vines. It was clear she didn't have time to tear them off because it was too urgent.
So I.
—Thud.
Stopped sprinting and slammed on the emergency brakes.
"Oh. I’m not fighting you."
"What!"
And.
All around the nun, who had turned her body completely toward me.
"Shaaaaat!"
"Ke-reuk!"
A tidal wave of overwhelming violence crashed down.
—Swoosh!
—Thwack!
—Thwack!
Sharan clawed deeply at the nun’s back, and goblins’ spears stabbed at her sides from both left and right. Did it work? The goblins' spear-thrusts didn't work, but.
—Rip!
Sharan’s clawing worked!
Blood erupted!
"Kyaaaaaaak!"
A scream burst out. Hearing that, I joined the fray. The barrier was broken. Now we just have to beat her up.
But at that moment.
"You bitch!"
—Rip!
"Shaaa?!"
The nun, having freed herself from the vine restraint, attacked Sharan with a back-kick. —Thwack! Sharan blocked with both arms, but couldn't overcome the impact and flew off to the side!
"Sharaaaaan!"
How dare you kick my Sharan!
I swung my sword with the intent to kill!
—Clang!
But the nun spun her body and unleashed a sword strike. As a result, my sword, which collided with hers, shattered and flew away.
"Ha!"
The nun smirked for a moment. Just as she grabbed her sword backward in mid-air, thinking she would stab me.
"Woooooooh!"
—Boom!
I kicked the ground intensely, hugged the nun, and went for a takedown!
"Ah!"
"Oooooooooh!"
"You, you fucking bastard! Get off! Get off me!"
—Thud!
I shoved the nun down. In this position, she can't use her sword!
"You dog-like bitch!"
"You fucking bastard!"
I immediately choked the nun and struck her between the eyes with one fist!
—Thwack!
—Thwack!
But damn, this nun’s strength was that of a bull! She pushed my fist away with her forehead and unleashed a headbutt on me!
—Crack!
"Ugh! You bitch!"
I threw another punch. Like that, I tangled with the nun, rolling back and forth, beating each other up while throwing punches like madmen. I was literally beating her like a beating-maniac. But damn, every time a hit landed, my head was ringing! This bitch’s punches were too spicy!
"Ugh!"
Blood was streaming from my nose! Why aren't you guys providing support!
"You guys! Big brother! Getting beaten up! Can't you see! Hit her! Hit her! Hit her! Hit her! Hit her, goddammit!"
"Ker-eureuk!"
At that point, the goblins joined in and started stabbing the nun who had mounted me like crazy. Please! Please, let it work!
—Thwack!
—Thud!
However, contrary to my wishes, the goblins' spears couldn't inflict any damage on the nun. Is the barrier still not broken? What about Sharan? She flew off earlier. Am I going to die like this?
Just then.
"Ker-eureureuk!"
I heard Buril’s war cry.
—Swoosh!
Buril’s spear.
Pierced the nun’s side.
"Kya, kya-haak...!"
"Ha, haa! Bu, Buril!"
"Ke-reuk!"
"You fucking bastards...!"
We won.
We won!!!
"Uaaaaaaah!"
The moment I let out a war cry, raised my upper body, and delivered a headbutt to the nun!
—Flash!
Suddenly, the world turned stark white.
