Chapter 906 - The Faceless Killed a Fragment of Beelrog
Enkrid gauged the enemy's positions and counted their numbers.
'One Frog, one guy with a club, one fairy, one group of black masks, two guys hiding in between and watching, one giant, and finally, the Great Emperor.'
It wasn't a simple count.
In his head, he divided the group into forms that were easy to break.
The things he learned from Luagarne and the experience he accumulated while rolling through the continent guided him.
'Divide.'
And grasp.
His sixth sense tingled, stimulating his scalp, telling him this was the most important thing right now.
'View the black mask group as one.'
While he perceived others as individual objects one by one, he didn't divide the black mask group.
'Similar techniques, similar momentum.'
They were guys as if stamped out of a mold.
It was a form he had seen several times while fighting until now.
'Mass-produced knights.'
There was no reason not to do such a thing.
If one knows the method and has abundant resources, they possessed enough martial power to be called a disaster against ordinary soldiers.
Also, wouldn't they have judged that increasing the numbers would be effective even against knights?
Although a guess, it was half the correct answer.
If Krais looked into Enkrid's head right now, wouldn't he shout repeatedly that Enkrid is indeed a genius in this aspect.
Seeing the present and penetrating the past.
It wasn't an important part right now.
Only, depending on whether one knows it or not, the way of acting could change.
Enkrid drew the direction of the fight simultaneously with gauging the enemy.
Everything penetrated, perceived, and experienced harmonizes.
The tactical sense awakened when Abnaier drove him fluctuated and told him the way.
Meaning, he decided where and how to fight.
Like that, the step Enkrid took was faster and more confident than anyone standing on this battlefield.
"Rem, Ragna, stick together. Center is me. Trident formation."
Enkrid utilized the Great Emperor's leisurely steps and Beharli's opportunistic aspect.
'Fel, it's thanks to you.'
Because Fel won the first duel, instead of charging, they approached forming a formation in a way to apply pressure.
Thanks to that, didn't an opportunity arise to strike out from this side?
Of course, if it were an ordinary person, they would ask where the opportunity is here.
Since it was using the short gap created while the enemy was reorganizing the fight.
Enkrid kicked the ground.
Rem and Ragna followed closely behind him.
Three ran as if forming an arrowhead.
Although not very fast, it was vastly faster than the enemy.
Rem on the left, Ragna on the right.
Like that, the three dug into the group of black knights without hesitation.
In a way, it seemed like a suicidal act.
Since it looked like three charging into the middle of enemy lines.
"I am Rem, the mad Vice-Captain!"
"Vice-Captain Ragna is here."
Shouts burst out simultaneously from Enkrid's left and right.
"What?"
"Who?"
Until just before sticking to the enemy, Rem and Ragna glared at each other.
Strangely, even though such nonsense exploded, the gap between the three remained the same.
Was this action itself a gap in the enemy's view?
Spear blades flew in aiming for Rem and Ragna.
Enkrid turned his body to the left instantaneously.
Along with him, Ragna swung Sunrise to strike away the spear blade blocking the rear, and Rem swung his axe from his spot to smack the spear shaft.
Kwang!
The spear shaft made of solid iron didn't break easily.
Instead, the guy holding it faltered, and in that faltering instant, a blue line struck his neck.
"One."
Enkrid muttered.
Simultaneously, spears and swords flew in from all directions.
Enkrid moved his position swinging his sword and stood to Ragna's left, and Rem moved his position to Ragna's right.
The Trident formation specialized in flexible spear shafts where the direction of the central spear blade changes anytime and bends left and right.
Enkrid moving sideways and swinging his sword first was the flexible spear shaft, and changing formation centering on Ragna now was changing the position of the spear blade.
Ragna held his breath, raised Sunrise, and struck down vertically.
A blow that cuts whether an elephant or whatever gets caught.
A knight holding a square shield blocked in front of him.
Ragna's Sunrise cut through the shield and passed.
Jjeo-eo-eong!
Along with a roar, a red line appeared in the center of the shield, emitting heat as if heated, and split.
The knight who held the shield was also cut from head to collarbone.
A person who lost a head and an arm cannot live.
"Two."
Ragna said.
Even if two died, there was no way the form of the fight would change.
They had entered the middle of the enemy lines.
From the enemy's perspective, if they retreated here, there was nowhere to go.
A few more exchanges of offense and defense continued.
Guys who died just by sticking close appeared.
Naturally, the ones falling were the Faceless Knights.
The Faceless Knights maintained the encirclement formation and took out a hidden move.
Even the guys who stood a step back and half-spared themselves joined.
Their number was six, and they were those who reached the current level through a process different from ordinary Faceless Knights.
Those six came out one by one from between the encirclement and circled round and round with the three in the center.
All six held long spears half longer than ordinary spears, and their movement and momentum were also different.
Feet light, long spears ready to strike down or extend anytime, and the form of intimidation stabbed Enkrid, Rem, and Ragna's skin like sharp spear blades.
"Oho."
Rem stopped fighting, perceived them, and revealed expectation, while Ragna just looked nonchalantly, his gaze not particularly staying on them.
If they attack, cut.
Just following that simple proposition faithfully.
Now that Enkrid leads, it was a moment where there was no need to find a way.
The origin of fighting well only with a simple goal wasn't Fel but Ragna.
Where did the honesty of walking and walking until the destination appears come from.
Enkrid changed the formation entirely at the opponent's movement.
Dug through with Trident formation and killed eight enemy knights.
Meaning only seven remained of the fifteen Cypress kept alive.
The remaining six used those seven like shields.
Six wedged in between and hid half their bodies behind shields.
The remaining guys surrounded the vicinity as is.
Jet-black shadows seemed to cover them from head to toe.
Between them, Dawn's cool blueness shone, Sunrise shed red light, and grey pupils shone.
The Great Emperor raised knights in two forms.
If one is the traditional method, the other was mass-produced type.
Among them, the method of raising mass-produced knights used methods fine to say they shed the mask of humanity.
Gathering those said to have excellent talent in one place, making them duel to the death once a month, and raising only those who survived.
A method borrowed from the art of gathering bugs to make terrible poison.
'Only those who survive obtain the opportunity to prove themselves.'
The Great Emperor's policy was clear.
Wasn't the creation of the Mud Knights also a similar form?
'Among those who committed capital crimes, those who struggled to survive became knights.'
Although that might not be the whole reason for the Mud Knights' birth, it was clearly the strongest element.
Like that, locking people in a certain area and making them kill and kill each other again.
If one out of a hundred survives, gather dozens of guys who survived like that again to select one.
Like that, one knight was made.
'Biological weapon following only my orders.'
What the Great Emperor wished for.
As sorcery steals their reason, they are no different from the Great Emperor's limbs.
That was the Faceless Knights.
Being faceless symbolizes having no self.
This was also made so with sorcery.
Among them, the six picked and chosen were weapons the Great Emperor boasted of.
'They even killed a fragment of a Beelrog.'
The Great Emperor found a Beelrog's fragment, confined it, and used it to raise knights.
He committed acts worse than what the demon called Lord of the Demonic Realm did.
'If necessary, I would do worse things.'
The Great Emperor was sincere.
He will put the continent under his feet.
He will put the world under his feet.
The Five Color Flags, the Five Flag Armies will kill all who rebelled and make all visible lands his own.
That is the Great Emperor's dream.
Six of the Faceless Knights fought a Beelrog for three days and nights.
Four of the originally over ten knights of outstanding talent died.
The remaining six finally won against the Beelrog's fragment.
That is the reason the Great Emperor guarantees victory.
Only, he didn't know that the three they were dealing with were those who fought and won against Beelrog himself.
Of course, there was no one here who knew who the guy who killed Beelrog was.
Although some of the demons knew, they didn't tell the Great Emperor.
The Great Emperor is also a guy who might become a cumbersome enemy to them.
Meaning no need to teach everything.
Is it the result shown by that gap in knowledge?
Rem suddenly ignored the formation and jumped out.
Unpredictability breaking the concept the opponent holds is the characteristic he possesses.
Meaning fighting with the advantage of clumping together and equipping formation, then suddenly abandoning it.
Even though they are guys who lost emotions, their hands and feet got tangled.
Even if only thinking ability regarding battle remained, it was natural to be surprised at this.
Rem approached closely to one enemy knight and pulled the shield edge grabbing it with his left hand.
Breaking it is possible too, but is there a need to do so?
'Bear's Strength.'
Putting sorcery into the body.
While using the Heart of Monstrous Strength, he added Bear's Strength to it.
Even though he was pulling the shield only with the left hand, as the holding guy resisted not to lose it, three of his fingers broke.
As the broken fingers let go of the shield, Rem threw it backward.
'Leopard's Agility.'
Simultaneously, Rem smacked the guy's head with his fist.
The knight who lost the shield drew a sword and slashed upward.
Rem extended his left fist then withdrew it and swung his axe to the right.
Mixed a feint.
The spear blade caught on the axe blade falling obliquely from top to bottom.
Tang!
A roar burst and Rem moved his two feet again.
Sprinting forward as is, the axe blade ran riding the spear shaft.
Kkagagagak!
Sparks flew, and the moment the guy holding the spear retreated, Rem's left hand passed his waist and headed forward.
The posture of extended fingers denotes something thrown.
Rem was a shaman with excellent talent in throwing things.
What he threw was a throwing axe, and grey clumped sorcery power was contained there.
The surprised guy pulled his chin and turned the helmet direction trying to deflect, but it was out of the question.
It was a throwing axe containing the sorcery called Weasel Tail which multiplies cutting power.
The axe flying like a disc split the guy's head as is and stuck.
Ppeok!
Because he tried to endure until the end, the neck bone didn't fall backward, but since the axe blade stuck in the head, it was clear he died.
"What? Do I look easy?"
Rem said letting his two arms hang down.
One of the six died.
In the meantime, two other black knights behind died too.
Rem knew what happened without bothering to watch the process.
Enkrid would have received the shield Rem threw and thrown it horizontally like throwing a blade, and while the other enemy's gaze was sold to the shield, the ignorant swordsman would have swung that hot blade as if boasting.
Like that, one guy's helmet was cut in half from near the nose, and the sword called Dawn stuck in another guy's head.
Enkrid had no thought of dragging this fight long.
Just before swinging Dawn toward another guy as is.
White light rushes in from above vision.
Instantaneously everything around slowed down.
Thought accelerated and perceived something falling from above his head.
Reflexes accompanied by muscle strength swing the sword naturally.
Like that, he struck what was falling from above his head with Dawn.
Kwbareung.
Sound was one step late.
Jjeong!
A single streak of white lightning fell and struck from above Enkrid's head, blocked by Dawn's blade, and bounced streaks in all directions.
Jijijijik.
Along with the sound of thousands of rats crying simultaneously.
White light drew patterns like tree branches against the background of empty air.
Enkrid's black hair bounced and stood up.
"First time seeing someone block Guhinna's Root with his bare body."
It was the wizard who brought down lightning on Ragna's head.
Rem tried to react immediately, but Faceless Knight bastards attacked from all directions without sparing their bodies.
"Annoying!"
Rem shouted, swinging his axe and kicking guys with his feet.
Because lightning flowed riding the body, a tingling sensation remained on Enkrid's whole body.
It was a spell of considerable power.
'Seemed to have cut it? No, cut only half of it?'
If it's this much even though it was cut in half, he might have been paralyzed all over if it hit properly.
Standing defenselessly with a stiffened body in front of a hostile wizard was like asking to be killed.
'I must not let him properly get a hit in.'
While gauging and calculating various situations against the wizard, Ragna spoke from behind.
"The guy I have to deal with is behind there."
Although not particularly a request, Enkrid nodded his head.
Meaning do as you please.
Anyway, work on this side is settled, and it was enough for Rem takes care of the rest.
The wizard who heard the conversation of the two tilted his head.
The guy was floating in the sky.
Range where sword doesn't reach.
"Do you mean you will deal with me alone?"
The wizard asked.
Enkrid corrected those words.
"No, meaning I will kill you alone."
Words must be spoken correctly.
