The nocturnal monsters have completely gone into hiding, while the daytime monsters have become active, looking for food in forests, plains, grasslands, etc.
If you are a smart person, you should not enter these areas now, lest you become a meal for hungry monsters.
However, under such circumstances, a figure appeared in a suburb near the forest.
"Hahaha……"
A girl was pulling another smaller girl, panting heavily while running wildly in this place.
"elder sister……!"
The little girl, who seemed to be only about ten years old, was pulled, or even dragged, by her elder sister, which made her scream in distress.
But the girl couldn't let her sister stop.
In other words, she didn't dare to stop.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
The girl could only beat her heart, which was about to soften, and let her sister continue to run forward.
no way.
If they don't do this, the two sisters will soon die.
"stop!"
"Damn stinky girl!"
Finally, death caught up with him.
Those are two knights.
The knights wore standard armor and held long swords. Their running speed was not affected by the heavy armor at all. They were much faster than a healthy adult. You could tell at a glance that they were well-trained.
But these two knights, with ferocious faces at this time, were chasing the two sisters in front of them.
There was cold murderous intent in their eyes, and the swords they held in their hands were stained with blood, telling others what they wanted to do to these weak sisters.
Behind the two people, in a small village, faint screams could be heard, making the air seem to be stained with the smell of blood.
The girl's heart was almost torn apart by grief.
Because she knew that in the village where the screams were coming now, there were not only her parents, but also the neighbors who had smiled kindly at her in the past.
But now, they are suffering unreasonable violence and cruel and merciless massacres.
And the people who did all this were none other than these executioners who were obviously knights protecting their country but were doing the work of robbers.
The grief in her heart welled up, and the girl almost gave up on her escape.
But the slight warmth coming from her hands re-infused strength into the girl's heart that was about to give up.
"elder sister……"
The sound of the little girl crying brought the girl back to her senses from the edge of collapse.
Yes, she has a sister.
It doesn't matter what happens to you, but at least you want your sister to live.
This was the opportunity to escape that their parents had fought so hard for. They used their bodies as shields to stand in front of the two sisters, so that they could have a chance to escape.
Therefore, even if it is just my sister, I have to escape.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that her sister could no longer run, the girl had no choice but to drag her away from the executioners who were chasing behind her.
However, they are just village girls in a remote rural village, how can they outrun a well-trained knight?
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the girl felt a hard kick on her back. She flew out together with her sister and hit the ground.
"Gu...!"
The girl exhaled all the air from her lungs and felt unbearable pain in her back.
"elder sister!"
The younger sister screamed again, but was hugged by the girl and protected in her arms.
"What a pointless struggle."
"Wouldn't it be better to just die here?"
The armored Death God caught up with the two sisters, appeared in front of them, and looked at them condescendingly, his eyes full of indifference, and even indignation that he had spent unnecessary effort.
There is only no reverence for life and no trace of sinful shame for what one has done.
Anyone who sees this knight figure can immediately understand one thing.
That is, begging for mercy is useless.
They are the Gods of Death, beings who only come to harvest life.
Even though there were two weak girls in front of them, and one was a little girl about ten years old, there was no trace of soft-heartedness on their faces, as if what they were about to slaughter was not humans, but livestock.
The girl immediately gave up all thoughts of luck and begging for mercy, and pushed her sister out of her arms.
"Go quickly! Go quickly!"
"elder sister!"
The girl could already see herself lying in a pool of blood, so she gave up resistance and pushed her sister away to let her live as long as possible.
But how could the younger sister leave her sister alone in such a situation and escape alone?
So, the young sister hugged her sister desperately and refused to let go.
The girl was anxious, so she could only protect her sister with all her might, and stared at the killer in front of her unyieldingly with the most ferocious eyes in her life.
"Die."
The knights turned a blind eye to the girl's last defiance in her eyes. One stood there and sneered, while the other raised his sword high, preparing to give the weak life in front of him the final blow.
"God..."
The girl closed her eyes, feeling her sister's body temperature, and prayed to the sky in front of the final countdown to death.
"Whoa!"
The knight's long sword ignored the girl's prayers and was not blocked by any miracle. Like the scythe of death, it fell mercilessly, as if mocking the girl's last actions.
The girl's last prayer failed to summon God's mercy.
However, God is not merciful, but some people are merciful.
"Qiang——"
A clear sound like the clash of gold and iron suddenly appeared, like an echo, echoing throughout the outskirts of the forest.
"What?"
"You, who are you!?"
The exclamations of the knights suddenly reached the ears of the girl who closed her eyes tightly.
The girl did not feel the pain of having her body cut open with a sharp weapon, but instead felt a gentle breath.
That aura was standing in front of her, just like her father who had just stood in front of the knight in order to gain a chance for them to escape.
"……well?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The girl opened her eyes tremblingly and saw a figure from behind.
A figure that is completely different from his father, but taller, more erect, and more secure.
He stood in front of the girl and faced the two knights.
One of the two knights couldn't help but take a step back, and the other's expression changed drastically.
This is also natural.
If someone blocks a sword that can easily cut open a human body with his hand, no matter who his opponent is, he will react like this.
And that's what's happening now.
"Are you okay?"
Calm words sounded softly.
The owner of the figure, who looked more reliable than his father, turned sideways and looked at the two girls lying on the ground.
He is younger than the girl imagined, and even seems to be the same age as herself.
His physique is not burly, and his presence is not strong, which makes people wonder if they have seen some phantom.
But this young man, who was roughly the same age as the girl, not only stood in front of the two knights at this moment, but also ignored them, completely pretending that they did not exist.
In the hands of such a young man, he used two fingers to hold the sword that the knight had just chopped off.
"you……"
The girl was stunned.
"Let go!"
The knight whose sword was pinched roared angrily and used all his strength to pull the sword back.
"Haaahhhhh!"
Another knight who just took a step back held a long sword and slashed at the young man who suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in front of them at some unknown time.
"careful!"
The girl saw this scene and exclaimed.
However, the young man still didn't even look at the two knights. He just looked sideways at them and stretched out the fingers of his other hand towards the knight who was rushing towards him.
"[Lightning Strike]."
Amidst the gentle chanting, the boy's fingers reaching out to the knight suddenly flashed with electric light.
The next second, lightning burst out.
"Poof!"
As a bolt of lightning shot out from the young man's fingertips, the knight who rushed towards the young man was struck directly by the lightning and penetrated through the chest, splattering a large amount of blood.
Lightning penetrated from his back and shot towards a big tree nearby, cutting off the middle of the tree.
"Uh...ah..."
The figure of the knight who was charging froze there. Blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, and his eyes widened as if they were about to explode. Not long after, he fell to the ground and lost his breath.
"————"
silence.
At this moment, both the girl and the knight who was holding the sword by the blade and struggling hard to withdraw his sword were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
The girl only felt that the scene in front of her was full of unreality.
When he was about to be killed, a young boy of his own age suddenly appeared. While holding the sharp sword blade with his fingers, he fired lightning from the fingers of his other hand, piercing the body of the knight who was just like a god of death.
, this kind of thing is really magical for a village girl who lives in a remote village all year round.
Even the knight yelled after understanding what happened.
"This, this is the third level of magic? You are the highest level magic caster!?"
These words were met with a raised eyebrow from the young man.
"The highest level of magic caster? Do you mean this level?"
The young man seemed noncommittal to the knight's words, and spoke with a half-smile.
"No, even if the natives of this world have never seen magic above the seventh level, then at least don't regard magic of the third level as the highest level magic, okay?"
"At your level, if you want to call a magic caster the highest-level existence, you have to at least see fifth-level magic, right?"
"For example, this."
The boy pointed his flashing finger at the knight.
"[Dragon Thunder]."
Suddenly, lightning that was more violent and dazzling than before emerged from the young man's fingertips.
"Fifth level magic!?"
The knight finally screamed.
"You are a magic caster in the Hero Realm...!?"
The knight fled.
He threw down his sword and ran away in embarrassment.
But no matter how fast he ran, he could never outrun the thunder and lightning.
"boom!"
The sudden dragon-shaped lightning struck the knight on the back, causing him to scream in the lightning.
