Chapter 70 (1/2)
Chapter 70: I Am the Young Lord 2
“There is the lord of Rakan Viscount.”
Mileon stopped his Gigant on the hill when he saw the lord.
A small manor at the center of the lordship, which was surrounded by a low wall. Perhaps that was the permanent residence where the young lord was staying.
“Just as I thought, there is no Gigant with them.”
“There are people on the wall, aren’t they? Do they want to face us? I don’t think that everyone out there is insane enough to come out and fight.”
“Kukk, that is true.”
Mileon smiled and talked with a voice full of arrogance.
“Whatever, let’s smash it and take the young Lord and then enter the Devil’s hill that is south from here.”
“Why to the Devil’s hill?”
“Isn’t he the descendant of the warrior who killed the Devil?”
“Giggle, that is true.”
“Oh, oh, devil king Mileon! Lord of Darkness?!”
Mileon was laughing with his men.
The riders on the back looked at the lord of the viscount and spoke in a mysterious voice.
“Captain Mileon, a black horse is running this way. What do you think?”
As the subordinate spoke while looking ahead, they did indeed see the horse which was running toward them.
“Could he have lost his mind? He is plain ignorant!”
Their purpose was to capture the young Lord of Rakan from his manor.
Once they grabbed the young Rakan lord, their battle would end right away.
Destroying the manor and the lordship was a second story.
The young man, who came with a horse, pulled his sword at the Gigant’s gloves
Kaang?!
“Ah! That bastard!”
A Gigant’s gloves were invulnerable to moderate attacks, so they pretended to not even see the sword.
However, when the paint was peeled off with the sword, the cut seemed rather ugly. Mileon, who saw the cut, stared at the young man with eyes open wide.
The young man, who stopped in front of them, shouted loudly.
“This is my warning to the invaders! Get out of my land right away!!”
“What? My land? Then… Don’t tell me you are…?”
“Yes! I am Luke de Rakan, the owner of Rakan Viscount!!”
The young man, or Luke, made enough impact to scare the invaders.
“Catch him!”
“Catch him first and then check him!”
Mileon and the other riders reached for their target.
But Luke moved away from them.
“Grease!”
At that moment, the ground became slippery like ice, and the four Gigants that ran at him fell down.
“Oh shit!”
“Get that brat first!”
Thud thud!
Du Du Du!
The four Gigants got up and scattered to surround Luke. They tried to gradually narrow their distance between Luke and them to catch him.
“Huh, slow!”
Luke escaped a Gigant’s hands by cutting the ankle joint of the Gigant.
Kaang!
“Idiot! If not this, then you’ll surely fall prey to an agile Gigant…”
The rider opened his mouth while looking at Luke.
Suddenly, a Gigant’s right ankle squeaked and black oil began to flow out from it like it was bleeding.
“Ah! The joint lubricants!”
A Gigant’s joints were covered with oil like a human’s cartilages. It was because they too were moving parts, and a lot of wear and tear happened there.
As the lube ran out, an awkward sound, stiffer and slower movements than before, would start.
“Ah, shit! He is an Expert!”
The riders could see the purple aura that was attached to the sword that Luke was holding.
After passing through the Gigants, Luke once again attacked the Gigant who had a broken joint.
“Dammit, think you’ll be able to hit me again?!”
The broken Gigant rider brought out his big Gigant sword.
Luke moved his upper body to escape from the big sword, and this time, he cast magic on the knee joint of the Gigant’s opposite leg.
“Fire Ball!”
Kwang!?
The Fire Ball that left Luke’s hand penetrated through the Gigant’s knee glove and caused a massive explosion.
The Gigant’s thick gloves and powerful frame could easily ignore the magic of a 2 circle Fire Ball.
However, the previous explosion was powerful enough to be considered as a 5 circle Fire Explosion.
