Pooha!

My accurate sword swing decapitated the enemy .

Blood gushed from the headless neck .

Instead of avoiding the fountain of blood, I charged forward .

I grasped the head flying in midair and threw it forward .

PA!

“Kkwek!”

The guy who was hit by the head fell backward with a ‘kkwek’ screech .

Their bodies were tougher than ordinary metal, so using the corpses as projectiles was quite effective .

I approached the fellow who had been hit by the skull and had not yet recovered .

As he struggled to recover his balance, I stabbed him in the heart with my sword .

Kuang!

The tip of the sword failed to pierce the enemy’s chest muscles .

It just bounced off with a sound similar to metals colliding .

There wasn’t even slight scratches on the chest, not to mention bleeding .

But the enemy still fell backward .

My aura could cut thick shields apart like turnips, but these enemies had such a solid body that scraps didn’t appear even after being attacked by my aura .

There were only two ways to do meaningful harm to them with a sword .

One way was to use techniques such as light sword to create overwhelming destructive forces .

Another was .

Split them apart .

From head to toe .

The descending sword split the enemy’s body into two clean halfs .

I doubtlessly knew it from my experience .

Aura could be influenced by the user’s will .

Although it’s still speculation, I thought aura and mana were both forces that could manifest themselves through visualization into the world using my strength .

That’s how magic was defined in the magic books .

Magic is a supernatural phenomenon that utilizes mana, techniques, and will .

But even without the required mana to process the technique, drawing mana arrays or reciting spells can produce a similar effect .

As long as the release of mana is processed to manifest Aura, then attach my will to Aura, what can be called a miracle will be achieved .

Of course, because aura has been very powerful, there was no need to process mana .

From the split halves, I glanced at the fresh viscera flowing out of the body and sheathed my sword .

There were no enemies left .

This fellow was the 1,028th opponent .

I couldn’t help sighing .

This was my hardest strife yet .

It’s not about how dangerous it was, it’s about how difficult it was .

No matter how hard I concentrated on wielding my sword, I only succeeded once every three attacks .

All of this was because my concentration has improved in combat so the hit rate had also improved . During my training, I only succeeded one in ten attacks .

In order to be more proficient in using Aura, I need more training and practical experience .

Apart from these guys, I didn’t sense any other enemies approaching the village .

But the ominous air was still spreading .

It was near the lake, in the forest, inside and outside the village . I wondered where this ominous atmosphere would eventuality spread to .

I even wondered if it could cover the entire continent or even the whole world .

[Ahbooboo . ]

[Yes, Warrior . ]

[Is there something wrong there? ]

[Of course . ]

[The two?]

[They fainted . ]

That’s weird, what?

I asked Ahbooboo what had happened .

[Because after they tried to get in touch with the temple and told them the situation here, they wanted to confirm the situation outside and get more information, so I knocked them out when they tried to go outside . It was nothing . ]

After hearing Ahbooboo’s words, I really had to admit that his ‘nothing’ was effective .

Defending against the first stage of the threat, all summoned contractors in need of protection were in the residence with the holy sword to guard them well .

What should I do next?

I’ve made too many mistakes in this stage, so I’m more cautious about making a judgment .

I confirmed the clear condition again .

[Clear Condition]

– Investigate the abnormalities in Irai Lake .

– Protect the summoned contractors in your team from injury or death . The summoned contractors you have to protect are (2/2)

– ?

– ?

– ?

Now that two summoned contractors’ safety had been secured, the next goal was naturally to investigate the cause .

But the investigation was ambiguous .

Whether it’s just to identify the cause, to confirm the others’ situation, or to gather information and convey it to the temple .

There are no clear guidelines .

First of all, I should clarify the reasons behind the abnormal phenomena of the lake .

There’s a clue .

The ominous atmosphere that enveloped the world .

Although I didn’t know how far it spreads, I was aware of its origin .

[Talaria’s Wings]

I spread my wings and flew up into the sky .

High in the skies, I found that the world was operating abnormally .

The three full moons still shone with a strange light, which was an incomprehensible phenomenon, but that’s not all .

Strange birds, the size of a house, flew around and attracted my attention .

They had red tails with black feathers .

That’s the bird I’ve seen countless times in my days camping by the lake .

It should be the most common bird in this area .

But its size was not normal .

There were also jagged teeth exposed in the beak and talons that seems to possess daggers .

I began to understand the sentence in the message that “bug-eating birds began to eat people” .

Looking at the bird as it was now, it can really catch people to eat .

In that case, with such a huge body, it would be a bit difficult to survive on insects and fruits . It would be necessary to hunt large animals and humans happen to be included in the prey .
