139 [2-73] Revenge on all sides. (1/2)

We shouldn't have called it a battle.

If anything, it was a hunt.

It was not the kind of hunt where the hunter risked his life to go into the mountains to earn his living. It was more like a hunt conducted by the nobility, where everything was arranged from the start, and they just enjoyed torturing their prey.

”Haha ...... haha ......!

”Geez, ......, ......!

Oh no, ...... oh no, ......!

Herminio, Loretta, and Edgar.

The three of them were simply fleeing across the unobstructed silvery plains.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time with your family.

”d*mn ......!

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

I'm not sure what to do.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

As arrows rained down, spears were thrown, and miasma breath kicked up snow, the three of them somehow managed to avoid the attacks and fled. The three of them managed to avoid the attacks as they fled. Their stubbornness was probably due to the fact that they were adventurers belonging to the second largest party in the country.

However, it was obvious to even the casual observer that they would not last long.

The last thing you want is for your movements to slow down due to fatigue.

”...... Yeah?　You are the only one wearing anything, Loretta!

Erminio shouted angrily.

Loretta was wearing a fluttery cloak that completely covered her body. For some reason, the arrows aimed at Loretta had been repelled. Perhaps it was the effect of this magic item.

”Give it to me!　It's mine!

Erminio was running, trying to force her to take off her cloak.

”No!　It's mine!

It was only for a brief moment that they lost their footing.

The skeleton rider did not miss the opportunity. The spear that carried the momentum of the dive pierced Loretta's back, tearing through her cloak of arrow deflectors and piercing her. Underneath the plummeting rider rising again on a trajectory like a graph of squares, Loretta stumbled and fell.

Erminio immediately jumped away from Loretta, clucked his tongue viciously, and fled without looking back.

”No, no, no. ......

René landed in front of Loretta, who was foaming for blood.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

No, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't!

And then, as easily as if she were a wet piece of paper, she tore Loretta in two.

Loretta let out a short scream and died, spewing guts and blood from her torn torso.

”Miss ......!　Oh, crap!

The skeletal riders gathered around Erminio and Edgar like crows after their prey.

With Loretta down, there were fewer moves to block the attacks, and the attacks concentrated.

The two were already stopped in their tracks.

Edgar held up a fist-sized pearl to the encircling hippogriff zombies.

”You've got to be kidding me.

No one heard him.

The item Edgar brought out seemed to be a ranged attack that projected holy air around the area. It seems that he was trying to take advantage of the fact that he was surrounded by people who had stopped to fight back.

But what does stopping mean?

The miasma breath spat out by Rene gouged out the snow and blew it away as he pushed forward in a straight line, swallowing Edgar.

The pearl he had tried to hold up rolled away, scattering holy air, leaving behind a human-shaped object that looked as if it had been burned black.

Finally, there was only one person left.

While the skeleton riders stayed in the air, readying their bows and spears, Rene stomped through the snow and closed in on Erminio.

”Oh, hey, ......!

You know who you're trying to kill, don't you?

Erminio raised his voice threateningly, pointing his sword in all directions.

It was more of a protest against unfair treatment than a threat.

His face, which would have been handsome if he hadn't said anything, was drawn and wet with sweat, as if he had been drenched, either from running to escape or from cold sweat.

Rene doesn't stop. He presses on.

I am Erminio Drouette!　I am Erminio Drouet of the great Drouet family!

Well, you don't know the Droets, do you?

The Drouette family has been around since the founding of the Holy Kingdom of Diretta!　And the current head of the family, your father, is a cardinal and has a great deal of influence in the temple.

And yes, his position in the court is also high!　In fact, he is the equivalent of a vizier. ...... No, we don't call him a vizier here, do we? I'm sure you'll agree.　I've got a lot of territory!
