7 – #7. Fixing a power outage (5)

I tracked a baby Great Eagle while hiding the sound of its footsteps and obliterating its presence.

Even if it hid itself in the bushes, it was sure to sense its instinct if it got even a little closer, so it followed slowly, maintaining a distance of 3 meters.

After a few minutes, the Great Eagle stopped walking.

At the place where I stopped, there was a puddle formed by rainwater accumulating due to a small hole in the ground.

‘Did you come here to drink water?’

The Great Eagle stood guard in front of the waterhole, looking around.

This was to make sure there were no predators.

I held my breath while tightening my hand holding the handle of the long sword.

How much time has passed?

The Great Eagle, which could not sense anything, relaxed and stuck its beak into the water hole to suck in water.

-Chop chop chop!

When you drink water, you are defenseless, so it seemed like you were inhaling it urgently.

‘Now is the time! ‘It’s now or never!’

This is the perfect situation for a surprise attack.

I took a slow breath.

Run forward now and pierce the Great Eagle’s neck with the longsword in your hand.

Even as a chick, the Great Eagle’s feathers are as strong as copper. So aim for the neck.

What is needed is the Noegeombeop (雷劍法), a 1-second technique that makes quick use of ‘stabbing’, one of the three sword techniques.

‘Use it as instructed by Iris.’

He raised the tip of his rear foot and prepared to jump out.

Just a little while longer and the Great Eagle will stop sucking in water, so you need to act faster.

I counted the numbers in my head.

5 Seconds.

4 Seconds.

3 Seconds.

As the number approaches 1, the heart beats faster.

… 2 Seconds

Last.

1 Second… !

‘Now is the time!’

Rebounding from putting my back foot up, I charged furiously towards the baby Great Eagle.

“…… !”

The Great Eagle seems to have found me sooner than expected.

I became impatient and quickly turned to the left, using the recoil as strength to swing my sword as if I was fencing.

-Sigh!

-Papak!

“Kkieeek-!”

“Damn it!”

The young Great Eagle narrowly escaped by moving its head.

‘Because of this dull body… !’

Maybe I should have dieted a little more.

Thanks to this, the tip of the sword was slightly lodged in the ridge of the wing.

A Great Eagle with damage to its wing muscles. It seemed to be in quite a lot of pain, and it was moaning in pain and flapping its wings like crazy.

“Kkieek! “Keeek!”

“aaah, aaah. “Don’t move!”

He flapped his wings desperately to pull out the sword with the Great Eagle on it.

Blood splatters in all directions from the area where the bleeding occurred.

I was overcome by the power of the Great Eagle and swung back and forth while holding the impaled sword with both hands.

“aaah! “f*ck you!”

I pulled out the sword with all my might.

And at the same time, I swung my sword to strike the Great Eagle’s neck.

Vertical cut.

For this time, I practiced basic swordsmanship 10,000 times every day. Mistakes were not to be tolerated.

-Whoa!

-Papak!

“…… !”

“Kkieek!”

It went astray. The sword hit the ground in vain.

‘f*ck you! Because of that damn flesh… !’

He was so quick, he showed incredible agility even with one damaged wing.

“Keeek!”

The Great Eagle flees deep into the forest and howls.

‘Are you trying to call a colleague…? !’

It cannot continue like this. Even the Great Eagles that were pecking at the deer carcass earlier will join in.

If that happens, I will be in danger… !

‘It can’t be like that! How I looked forward to this day… Let’s see who really wins!’

I ran like a madman and chased the Great Eagle.

“Whoa, whoa!”

“Kkieek!”

Maybe because he was a cub, even if he tried his best, his walking speed was similar to mine with a fat body.

But because of that, the distance gap was not narrowed.

“Kkieek!”

“Kkiek! “Kkieek!”

Afterwards, dozens of Great Eagles chasing after me began to appear.

It was a crisis.

‘I can’t help it… !’

Even if you succeed in capturing the Great Eagle like this, you will be surrounded by many Great Eagles.

In that case, it would be better to catch it quickly and run away.

Walking through the forest at full speed, hitting tree branches with a knife, I put my hand into the Jumini.

And I took out a root of Kangnyeoncho.

I wanted to stay in top condition before entering the academy, so I tried not to eat as much as possible….

The moment when you are trying to stuff Kangnyeoncho into your mouth.

“Huh?”

“Kkieek! “Keee!”

The fledgling Great Eagle turned back the way it came, made a U-turn, and started running towards me.

‘… ‘What happened?’

I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s the perfect opportunity.

Putting the Kangryeoncho back into my pocket, I grabbed the longsword with both hands and took a stance.

‘Whoa…’ .’

I took a slow breath and paused.

It won’t fail this time. I opened my eyes and watched the Great Eagle running towards me.

And then I captured the poor neck of a great cub running from afar.

Put both elbows at a right angle and pull the sword above your head. Slightly diagonal.

“Whoa…” .”

When it approaches right in front of you.

I calmly let out the breath I had been holding and struck with my sword.

Vertical cut.

-Whoa!

-Scream!

“What a talent….”

-Tuk. Patter.

The neatly braided head of a young Great Eagle rolled around on the grassy dirt floor.

The blood that flowed from between the neck dyed the blade of the sword he was holding red.

-aaah!

I used the strength of my wrist to brush the blood off the sword in one go.

‘There is no time to procrastinate now. ‘Ride away quickly with the body of the Great Eagle!’

Cheolna tried to run again.

A strange thing happened.

“… ? What. “Why don’t you come after me?”

Dozens of great eagles that were chasing me were just staring at me blankly from a distance of about 10 meters.

“…… ?”

… For a moment, there was a sense of ominousness.

The path along which the young Great Eagle hurriedly ran.

I slowly turned my head to the other side.

And, it was a moment when I couldn’t even turn my head.

“Kirururururururururu-!”

An incredibly thin noise that struck my eardrums came from where I was about to turn my head.

“Ugh!”

I covered my ears with both hands and squinted my eyes, struggling to look in the direction the sound came from.

“Uh….”

And then I realized.

The reason why the Great Eagle cub made a U-turn at full speed was not because it was simply crazy, but for a good reason.

There was a demon.

The Great Eagles that had been chasing me had long since run away as soon as they heard the cries of the beast.

I turned my head and looked at the demon beast.

Two muscular, straight legs reminiscent of a horse.

The toes of a yellow bird with five claws that do not match the legs.

It has horns on its head and a brown, mammal-like body that does not fit at all with its hawk-like upper body full of white feathers.

On its back were huge, angel-like wings that were more than enough to cover its entire body.

“… “It’s really f*cked up.”

The demon beast was a griffon.

*

‘It’s my mistake! As I chased after him, I ended up going that deep?!’

I could understand the behavior of the young Great Eagle.

If you don’t want to die, you will try to escape the invaded territory.

Gryphon and I.

If you were to ask which of the two was scarier, it would of course be the Gryphon.

That’s why he ran away from me.

I smiled and suddenly held my sword towards the griffon and took a stance.

This is really f*cked up.

How should I measure it now?

The moment when the griffon prepares for an attack.

Strangely enough, the griffon wasn’t looking at me.

It feels like I’m looking at a different side.

‘… ‘What else?’

I clearly invaded territory.

And yet you’re not looking at me?

The view was obscured by the bushes, so only the legs and body of the griffon were visible.

Puzzled, I slowly peeked my head out to see who exactly the griffon was looking at.

‘…… !’

A woman lying down next to a gryphon that becomes visible when she sticks her head out.

The woman was lying on the ground, completely exhausted, glaring at her griffon.

“Ugh… !”

Fine black hair with a long ponytail, blue eyes as blue as ice crystals, and an appearance so mature and haughty that it’s hard to believe she’s 15 years old.

… This person is very familiar to me. I knew that woman.

‘Aria, a pervert in swordsmanship?!’

Aria Sylvester.

He is one of the main character’s strategy heroines.

In her initial story, she interacts with the protagonist in hopes of learning from the protagonist’s genius sword skills, and she gradually discovers that she has fallen in love with the protagonist.

‘Why is he here?!’

Even at first glance, it seemed like a crisis situation.

She is definitely someone who should be at the academy….

She and I have never completed her heroine quest, so during her vacation, she didn’t know what Aria was doing for a living.

She tends to be crazy obsessed with the sword, so she probably trains her sword skills during vacation… I roughly guessed.

‘Are you breaking a one-on-one fight with a griffon in a place like this?!’

From noble mtl dot com

How serious is she about swordsmanship and strength that she goes to catch a griffon at the age of fifteen?

“Huh… , heo….”

Aria was unable to control her body to the point where it was difficult to even breathe.

She barely managed to support her body with her sword and get up.

The hem of clothes torn here and there by the griffon’s claws.

The scratches on her pretty and beautiful face were shocking.

No matter how you look at it, it was a dangerous situation.

“Kirurururururu-!”

On the other hand, I felt the angry griffon gradually approaching Aria.

‘… ‘What should I do?’

Should I help you?

This is a life-threatening situation. But….

If I help you, I may also be in danger.

Just a moment ago, I felt my life threatened by dozens of Great Eagles.

Will anything change if I go?

It would be more advantageous to take this opportunity and run away with the Great Eagle’s body.

When you are having such concerns.

“… sh*t!”

Aria stood up with difficulty and grabbed her sword. She was trying to force herself to deal with the griffon that was gradually approaching her.

“Kiruru….”

A gryphon raising its sharp front paw as if it was funny.

As if her beak and horns were a waste, she lightly struck Aria with her muscular paw.

A slight strike from the griffon was a fatal blow to Aria, like being scratched by a bear.

-aaah!

“Kwaaak!”

‘…… !’

A large amount of blood pours out from Aria’s arms.

-Deng Gang! Deeng!

Arya lost her strength and fell again, her lost sword rolling around on the floor.

‘Ah… Really f*ck….’

I can’t do this anymore.

If I had just gone, I would have just fixed the power supply and lived.

I thought to myself as I took out the fennel root from my pocket.

… This guy’s nonsense.

Why am I always like this?

Is it because of my dead sister?

When I see girls in trouble, I keep seeing their younger sisters, so I act before I think.

‘Because in order for us to make a living, you have to work hard to earn money. ‘Can you understand a little bit?’

What was the importance of money? My sister waited at home without her parents, just looking at me. She was filled with sorrow for not being able to spend even a few hours a day.

‘Oppa! If you make a lot of money, go on a trip with me! I want to go to Japan! Japanese ramen! ‘Japanese tonkatsu!’

She is a younger sister who was a middle school student who always admired Japanese culture.

I worked hard and worked hard to send him to Japan, which he longed for so much, and somehow rose to the rank of assistant manager.

My younger sister died of cancer, and I am possessed by this game world and doing foolish things.

“Kiruru?”

“… Uh?”

I put all the dried herbs I had saved into my mouth and chewed them.

-Go!

You can feel the blood flow in your body gathering through the Danjeon and moving explosively.

– Boom!

I can feel hot steam blooming all over my body due to the Kangnyeoncho.

Then, he slowly approached the griffon.

“Kirururururururu!”

Seeing me trespassing into its territory for the second time, the griffon seems to be so angry that it flaps its wings repeatedly.

I grabbed my sword and took a stance.

Body overload will soon come.

I don’t know how serious the side effects will be since I took everything.

Now it might be possible to give them some time to escape.

“You damn Young master… ? No, that doesn’t mean the body type is….”

Leaving behind her as she spoke to me while she was lying down, I approached her griffon and slowly aimed my sword at her.
