The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

67. The rain washed him away. No blood, no anger.

67.

-Dagdak! All right!

A lot of spray rose behind the horses. She was running so fast that the saintess thought for a moment that it was like a small wave crashing into the meadow. Death Knight did not focus on words. His focus was on those on horseback. He first thought they might be knights crossing the meadow. Because they were all wearing armor.

But I quickly put that thought aside. Which order of knights in this world wears ill-fitting armor? That’s more than half of the total number of people. The thief Voltley-kun talked about. I thought we might meet, but I never thought we would meet so soon.

Death Knight thought of leaving immediately. But he was already late. It was open all around, and I didn’t know what nonsensical rumors I might bring up if I said something without a head here.

He had to be bumped here.

“Esilia, back.”

At the Death Knight’s low words, the saintess nodded her head. There was tension in her movements. Even though it was a short sentence, she could feel the seriousness of the death knight’s voice. The saintess quickly moved behind her Death Knight.

-Purreuk!

Seven horses circled wide around the tree where they were. The horses couldn’t overcome the excitement of the gallop and raised their front legs high at the same time as the toure. All were three trolls, three orcs, and one human. They were of different races, but all were male.

“You’re bigger than you think, right?”

The first place where the horse jumped out was the person who was relatively at the rear. He was wearing the most intact-looking armor of them all. He wore plate mail, carried a two-handed sword on his back, and had a high, clear voice.

It was a voice that didn’t suit him at all. It was because he had the largest body among the seven people around him. However, the saintess did not think that he looked very tall. She was already used to Zerfied’s size.

“How about it, this is seven.”

The orc, whose spaulder had been blown out, murmured with a chuckle. Then, as if agreeing, giggles broke out here and there. Whenever the men laughed, yellow teeth appeared. His untidy beard trembled. Seeing their laughter, the saintess further hid her body behind Zerpe Ed. I felt a sense of rejection that I did not want to face that smile again.

“Anyway, I don’t see anything useful… ….”

It was a human horse. As if looking for something, the human opened his eyes and scanned the Death Knight and the saint. It was then. He ran into a saint whose eyes trembled.

“Ah.”

A small exclamation escaped his mouth as if he had realized something. He raised the corners of his mouth as if forcibly pulling them, and shouted out loud.

“This big man came all the way here to do good for us poor people!”

A boisterous laugh spread far and wide. As if singing a spin song, the men around them took over the human words one by one.

“How do you know that it’s been a while since we haven’t been able to exercise our backs? Even though the groin area was itching!”

“He is a man with a big heart for his size. The distribution is huge!”

“By the way, can I use it if I just send it with grace?”

“That can’t be. It’s not the courtesy of a knight! Chivalry will cry!”

“Anyway, shouldn’t we make it possible for you to take your life with you?”

“Keoheouk… Kuk… Big heo… !”

The seventh and last song was not heard. The person who should have said that was holding his neck in Zerfied’s hands. Zerfied, who grabbed the troll man’s head, didn’t understand the situation for a moment, and stared blankly at the man’s face. His face was slowly turning purple.

After looking at the man’s face for a few seconds, Zer Pied realized that he had moved impulsively. Zer Pied, who was a little taken aback by the fact, turned his gaze toward the strange sound coming from his hand.

“Khehe… Keck… Kehehe!”

The troll caught by its head was making a gasping sound. The man, who made a gesture as if trying to gather fresh air in the air, hung his head in the end, unable to fulfill his wish. Zer Pied reflexively released his hand from his neck.

-Fluffy Duck – !

The troll’s corpse tumbled to the meadow floor. The six men, who had been blankly with their mouths open, came to their senses at the sound of a corpse falling. The exciting spinning song is gone. In the place where the excitement disappeared, many things took place. Anger, fear, silence. The one who broke the silence was a troll with a scar over one eye.

“What a fucking bastard!”

With a clanking sound, he drew out his longsword.

-Chaeeng – !

Starting with the sound of a sharp sword, the others also drew their long swords and glared fiercely at Zerfied. The only human was on his horse, his arms crossed, and watching leisurely. He muttered, yawning.

“Yeah, it sure seems to have the skills to match its size.”

In the next instant, his eyes turned thin. At the same time, the relaxed voice came and went. A voice as sharp as a knife flowed from the human mouth.

“I was trying to save his life.”

As if his words were a signal, the five warriors rode wildly and charged Zerfied. All five men uttered angry cries.

“If only we had handed over the woman, we would have gone on our way quietly, but you dare ignore our favor!”

“A bastard without weapons is trusting and messing around!”

“What a fucking bastard… Even if your kid wants to die, he won’t die. Seeing all of us fucking that bitch, I’m going to go crazy…… !”

The four men around him, as well as the person who spoke up, couldn’t hide their absurdity at the sudden strange pronunciation. The culprit stopped the galloping horse and murmured blankly.

“What the heck, Ike…… ?”

The man who was checking his condition, groping his mouth passionately, screamed. It wasn’t a proper scream. Out of his mouth, ‘Uh-ke-e-! Akeek-! Only the same monstrosity came out. But he couldn’t stop screaming.

Anyone will do that if their lower jaw is not touched. Zerfied carefully grasped the man’s lower jaw in his right hand. He felt like he’d break it if he made the slightest mistake. His right hand trembled. Barely he could suppress his urge to smash his lower jaw.

Instead, he returned it to its original owner.

-Quad Deuk – !

The man who had his own lower jaw hit in the middle of the face proudly showed everyone the shape of his brain and skull before falling off his horse and exiting the stage. As the heavy load on his back disappeared, his horse ran away across the meadow with a sharp sound of hooves.

After watching that scene, the human man with his arms crossed opened his eyes wide and pulled out the two-handed sword he was carrying behind his back. The two-handed sword was a cumbersome item to move while riding his horse. The human man swiftly dismounted from his horse and aimed his two-handed sword at him.

“Is it good enough?”

A tense accent came out of the human man’s mouth. Zerfied decided to stop thinking about how to respond to that fact. If he spoke now, it seems that he will only let out a wild growl. He nodded his head slightly.

“What are you doing? I don’t think he’s a guy who came from the village to eat.”

“Hey, Captain… ! That bastard kills Celtro and Baine… !”

‘Head?’

“Be quiet. Fuck, I’m fucking fucking watching Baine’s head fly off. Out of all your kids, only the kid who can handle that kid, stick out. Or quietly tucked away in a corner. It’s getting in the way, so I should rather interrupt it.”

The one called the leader leaned forward and asked another sharp question. His foot thrust forward, and the trail buried in the meadow bounced off the rain.

“What the fuck are you doing? Are your ear canals blocked?”

Zerpied could barely answer without growling.

“…… It is a knight.”

Then, a slight sense of goodwill appeared on the leader’s face. The men around him also looked curious.

“What, was it the same species?”

“…… The same kind?”

“Yes, homogeneous. Shit, shouldn’t you have said that a little earlier? If you were a knight too, tell me. Didn’t we almost see each other’s blood? No, I’ve already seen blood. Is that yours? Somehow, that’s why I was living, etc.?

How is it? What joins my knights? If your skills are at your level, you’ve already secured the vice-captain position. It’s a pity that I lost Felt and Vine, but I can’t help it. Yeah, I wouldn’t fucking stand it if I touched mine.”

“…… What does it mean to be homogeneous?”

“What is it, literally? You should know it well, but why? Didn’t you, like us, get kicked out for killing someone after earning a living as a knight in the territory? You’re not wearing armor Fuck Baron. What’s the big deal about killing a maid after barely eating it and kicking us out? That bastard said a lot about calling the Holy Knights…….”

The Death Knight’s face hardened. The captain said with a broad smile, as if he regarded it as an expression of agreement.

“So, can I touch that bitch? In the future, I will give you a lot of what I ‘collected’ along the way. Oh, of course I’m not going to fuck you. There’s chivalry, how do you do that? If you just ask me to suck mine in your mouth…….”

The captain’s upper body fell off. The light of the water that ran down the blades of grass turned reddish. Screams erupted from all directions. Zerfied thought it was a scream that was not like a knight. There’s no way a knight could scream like that.

The death knight came to his senses at the sound of crying that hit her own ears. A cold metallic sound covered his shoulders. Before he knew it, he had become an armored man. The only things alive were the horses running away and the saintess crying while holding on to her mantle.

“Knight… ! Knight… ! Hehe… ! Stop… stop it… !”

The Death Knight turned his head and saw what he was holding in his hand. It was a piece of rag made of flesh. It was hard to find the shape of a person in those pieces of flesh. Flesh that splits into hundreds of pieces. The flesh points were different. Only then did Zerfied realize the identity of the impulse holding him back.

It was anger.

The leader. The word flickered.

‘Captain, I think it’s an honor to run with you. Everyone will think so.’

Death Knight breathed slowly. Zer Pied knelt down and grabbed Esilia’s shoulders.

“Go, suddenly… Hey, the knight… Don’t, don’t… Stab, stab… Cut… ! Hey, they’re already dead… ! Hehe… ! Black… !”

“…… I’m sorry.”

The moment I saw her flowing tears, I realized another reason for my anger.

“No way, I couldn’t get over the words they insulted you.”

“But… still… ! Too… I was scared… Knight… ! All, never again… ! Never… !”

“…… I won’t do that again. I’m sorry.”

The armor of the Death Knight hung over the saintess’s body. Her rain did not dare to fall on the body of her saintess. Because Death Knight couldn’t pierce her saintly shield.

The rain chased and crashed. The rain washed away the blood and anger on his body.
