Evil Avalon

Chapter 66-Long time no taste

(TL:By Rafael)

(TL: A advice don't read this Chapter while eating something.....eat at your own risk)

The execution site is filled with sandstorms caused by occasional gusts of wind. Near the center, I confront seven Bloody Knights with weapons of various sizes.

　

　The double-edged axe of the one I had just defeated had fallen at my feet, so I picked it up. It weighed a little more than 20 kilograms. It's dented in places and the blade is chipped, but it's just right for chopping down the armor. I think I'll try to use my fine sword and this axe.

　

　I didn't put "Dual Wield" in my skill set in the game either, but if you've been a weapon master for long enough to use many weapons depending on the environment, situation, and opponent, you can handle this many weapons at once.

　

　As I tightly gripped my weapon to check it, two of them immediately came at me. But it looks like they're not looking at me, they're looking at Hanano.

"I'm not letting you through."

　

While paying attention to the bowman's line of fire and the position of Hanano behind him, I accelerate with my Shadow Step to close the gap. The Bloody Knights in the foreground of the two that were coming at me immediately put up their shields, but I didn't care and swung out my axe with full force.

"Ohhhhh !!"

　

　I'm not sure if it's a metallic sound or a crashing sound, but it makes a loud noise and blows the shield away. I cleave the swordsman right next to me with the slender sword in my other hand, but it seems I was too shallow and couldn't knock him down completely. While eating my attack, he swung his dagger at me, so I ducked to the side and used the auto-activated "Slash" to cut him down.

"Whoa!

　

　I was about to take a breather when a bow and arrow flew at me with a  noise of air being cut, which I avoided by just moving my neck. The rest of the Bloody Knights came at me at once, starting with that one. They must have decided that I was in the way of saving the Lord. Then I'll--

　

　Run!

"I can't take them head on, you idiot!"

　

　It would be tough to fight five of them at the same time against an opponent who is not that far away from you, let alone against a lower ranked opponent with a large level difference.

　

　However, the important thing is to keep them from going towards Hanano. If I am able to gather hate on me and bring in an attack target, I've achieved my goal. After that, I just have to watch out for flying objects and buy myself some time.I'm not going to lose in a game of tag, because I have increased my mobility with the Shadow Step.

　

　As I zigzagged, I looked sideways at Hanano and saw that she had just manually activated her "Slash". Looking at the damage on the Bloody Baron, it seemed that he was down to about 20% of his remaining strength. But time was running out. If that's the case, I might as well join in the attack.

　

　While paying attention to the distance between me and the Bloody Knights that were following me from behind, I turned the direction of the train towards the Bloody Baron.

"Hanano! I'm going to hit you with a skill too, so be careful when you activate it!"

"I'll use a backhand!"

　

　What's the backhand? ...... Oh well. I've got a great double-edged axe, so let's give it a full swing.

　

　Grasping the double-edged axe firmly in both hands, I knead my magic power while running. Next, I spin the axe around and around twice like a hammer throwing motion and swings it around. This is the "Full Swing" skill motion.

　

　When I got close to her, Hanano jumped back as she saw me coming. Let's not hesitate, then.

"I'm going to go all out! "Full swing!""

　

　I put all of my running power and centrifugal force on the double-bladed axe and slammed it into the middle of the lump of flesh that was losing its human shape. The slash makes a dull thud, but the axe is still pulsating. It's amazingly durable. Even so, I think I've managed to cut it down to about ten percent.

　

　A knight escort was approaching from behind, so I slid past him. I use the "Backstep" skill that I just learned today to reduce and shorten the time between skills. I've learned a few skills, and I'm finally getting used to the basic tactics in Dun-Ex.

"I'm going ..."

　

　As if to replace her, Hanano came back, but there was hardly any time left. As I ran to see what kind of attack she was going to make, she pulled something shiny out of her ...... waistband.

"Wait a minute, is that not--"

"Pop up"

　

　A recovery potion that can be thrown at the undead to deal immense damage. It's so powerful that a single potion can deal as much damage as a basic job's weapon skill. She threw three of them at once.

　(TL: Overkill)

　The recovery potion that was supposed to be in the bottle burst on its own near the Bloody Baron, scattering the pink liquid inside. As they landed on the lump of flesh, a plume of reddish-black smoke billowed out, followed by an unearthly scream.

"O-o-o-o-o-o- ......-o-"

　

　When the demise stopped, the lump of flesh turned black and eventually cracked and shattered. The Bloody Knights, who had been chasing him from behind, collapsed with the disappearance of the Lord and shattered as well.

"Wow! I didn't know recovery potions were this powerful."

(TL: tbh neither did I)

"Hahaha ...... you know, now  ...... If you can avoid the risk, so be it."

　

　I had given her three recovery potions in case she needed them, and she threw them all in without hesitation. My sister was amazed at the power of the potion, her eyes amazed.

　

　Even if I couldn't defeat him in time, I had a strategy of running away and defeating him, but if I had to fight a higher-ranked boss, I would have to take some risks. If you can defeat it safely and surely, this level of expense may be inexpensive.

"Big magic stone!Oh, what's this? What's this black, weird, monstrous thing?"

　

　If you look at the place where Hanano pointed, you will see that in addition to the magic stone, there was also a small black mist-like thing lying around. When I looked closer, I could see what looked like a face floating in and out of the air, and I could also hear a faint but scream-like voice.This is the [Spirit of Poison], which can be called the soul of Bloody Baron's bitterness and resentment. If you take it to Obaba's store, she'll buy it for 20 riels.

　

　If one touch it, one might be haunted, so I put it in a bag and take it with me. When everything is real, even things that are gross or things that you don't want to touch become real, which is a problem.

"I'm tired. I'll just cash this in and go home."

"Onii. I need a little more attack power, but I'm not sure if I have enough STR."

"You should practice manual activation a little more."

　

　My sister is tracing the skill motions I taught her while grunting and groaning. In the event that you are looking at future battles, it's better to polish your combat techniques such as manual activation rather than relying on powerful armor and items. I'll give her a little practice later.

　

　*...*...*...*...*...*

　

　Carrying a number of mithril alloy armor that the Bloody Knights had dropped, I entered the gate with my sister, who was humming a lousy tune. We're already close to Obaba's store.

"I wonder how much mithril we can get from this. Can we make some pure mithril armor out of it?"

"You'll have to do this about ten times today to collect enough for the Armour."

　

　If the mithril content is even 0.1%, it can be considered a fine mithril alloy armor. If we were to collect and refine these armor to make 100% pure mithril armor, we would need a considerable amount of mithril alloy. It's hard to carry such a bulky item over and over again, and I'd like to get my hands on a magic bag as soon as possible.

　

　Within a minute's walk, we arrived in front of a familiar rectangular box-like building. In front of it, there was a magician sitting on an old chair, smoking a puffy pipe and enjoying the smoke, as usual.

"Hello, welcome to ......, did you bring me that thing I asked for last time?"

　

　Furufuru slowly and gracefully stood up and greeted me. She said she wasn't very good at remembering people's faces, but she seemed to remember mine and my sister's faces.

"I've brought you something."

　

　The "thing" that Furufuru is referring to is, of course, the [Spirit of Poison] that Bloody Baron dropped. I had accepted an errand quest before going to the execution site.

　

　In the game, I didn't know how to use it because I only exchanged it for the dungeon currency, lil. However, many adventurers brought them to be exchanged for cash, so there might be some reason as she purchases a lot of them.

　

　"It's been so long, I almost forgot what it tasted like."

"Oh, the taste?"

　

　

　

　I couldn't catch up with the unexpected words and tilted my head.

　

　While licking her tongue, she brings the [Spirit of Hatred Poison] to her mouth and bites down on it.When she does this, an unpleasant screeching sound is heard all around.

　

　We two siblings could not help but look on ...... in stunned amazement as Furufuru slowly chewed and savored the food with happiness.

(That  gross thing was food!)

TL Note- My day was hectic as hell but here is the Chapter fine and well so without wasting any more time let's meet again when the week ends one more time.
