Chapter 3: A Nostalgic Taste

The occasional gust blew through the execution site, whipping up whirlwinds of sand and dust. In the middle of it all, I faced seven Bloody Knights who wielded all kinds of weapons, big and small.

I picked up the two-headed axe on the ground, dropped by one of the knights I’d slain. The weapon weighed about twenty kilograms. Though it had lost its cutting edge, it could still chop through armor and pair well with my rapier. I had never assigned Dual Wielding to my skill slots in my DEC days, but I’d spent most of my game time as a Weaponmaster. It was a job that had given me mastery over many weapons in various circumstances against different enemies. Using a rapier and a two-headed axe simultaneously wouldn’t be troubling.

As I adjusted my grip on the axe to get a feel for it, two of my foes moved toward me. However, they set their sights on Kano. I wouldn’t let them—

“I won’t let you pass!”

While I monitored the archer’s line of fire and Kano’s position, I used Shadowstep to speed up and close in on my enemies. The closest of the two advancing toward us raised his shield, but I brought my axe down on him.

The shield shattered with a thunderous screech of metal, and the Bloody Knight flew.

I sliced at the sword-wielding knight by his side with my rapier. The cut wasn’t deep, yet the knight remained standing. He swung his sword at me, so I dodged and activated the Slash skill to attack him again and sliced him in two. Now there were only five left.

“Oops, gotta be careful!”

During the momentary pause after I’d slain those two, I heard an arrow whizzing through the air. I jolted my head to one side, escaping the arrow’s path. With that, all five remaining knights charged at me. They’d realized they needed to get rid of me to save their liege. It was clear what I had to do—

—run away!

“Sorry to burst your bubble, but I won’t take on you all!”

Things would be different if I were at a much higher level than them, but our levels were nearly equal. Fighting all five at the same time would be incredibly difficult. I didn’t have to fight them; what mattered was keeping them away from Kano. When I’d caught their aggro, and they’d switched their target to me, I’d accomplished my main objective. All I had to do was buy time and watch out for their projectiles. Shadowstep increased my movement speed, so I was confident I could outrun them.

I ran in a zigzag around the execution site while looking at Kano, who used Manual Activation to use Slash and cut into the Bloody Baron. From the state of the baron’s battered body, I could tell that Kano had reduced his HP to a third of its maximum. We didn’t have much time left, though. Should I join Kano in attacking him?

Keeping watch on how close the pursuing Bloody Knights were to me, I changed directions and led the train straight toward the Bloody Baron.
