Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 142

The concentration of mana surrounding the forest became increasingly dense.

I only stayed up all night, but in that short period of time, my mana concentration doubled from yesterday.

It was difficult to breathe without the aura.

The reason why the 3rd prince was able to walk around without a problem when I was like this.

-Do not breathe air. Humans are dangerous.

This is because hatchlings purified the air in real time.

The robe he was wearing was wrapped with purification magic to protect his entire body.

“The air has become thick.”

Thanks to this, even the 3rd prince without an auror was able to walk around comfortably as if he were out for a walk.

The 3rd prince was amazed to see the surrounding scenery that looked like a black fog moving around.

How many chances will you have to see something like this in your lifetime?

Even I never thought I would see something like this.

No, I didn’t even want to see it.

‘This is a bit dangerous.’

The fact that the surroundings had changed so much was as if the warlocks had reached the end of their summoning.

I could tell that what they summoned was anything but ordinary if it had such an impact on the surroundings.

“It would be right to go back and report this, but…”

That wasn’t possible, as the topography of the forest was currently changing in real time.

The forest is being destroyed due to dead mana.

After a day or two like this, the forest becomes a forest of death with no life in it.

“Is it very dangerous?”

The 3rd prince asked worriedly if he saw my serious expression.

I nodded. He must also understand the situation to some extent so that he can prepare for any danger that may come.

“I think it would be better to pick up the sword from now on.”

Although there is a hatchling, it is best not to let the 3rd prince find out about the hatchling.

If you get caught and make a strange mistake or start a rumor, you’ll be in trouble.

If I made a mistake and another dragon heard about it, that day would be the day I walked down the path of retirement.

For now, it is better for me to step forward, even if it takes some time, than to borrow too much from the hatchling’s power.

‘It would be nice if the hatchling could enchant it, but it’s hard to do that because there’s a prince.’

When I go back, I’ll have to look for magic items that can be enchanted.

If it were a magic tower that had everything except what it didn’t have, it could have had at least one of those things.

-The humans are almost here.

The hatchling looked in one direction, showing hostility.

Even if the hatchling didn’t say anything, he knew where they were.

There was a place belching out black smoke not far away.

“Prince, please listen to me carefully from now on.”

Before entering there, I stopped and spoke to the 3rd prince.

He looked up at me with a very nervous face.

His hand holding the sword was so strong that the veins popped out.

“It’s dangerous out here. So, I hope the prince hides himself here.”

I didn’t have the confidence to fight him while caring about him.

The energy I felt inside still makes my body tingle.

They are on the same level as me or worse than me.

And I felt a lot of people around him, but there were so many strong people that if Hatchling wasn’t with them, they would have turned around and run away without even dreaming.

I did not want to carry the burden of being the third prince in a place where even the smallest variables could affect the battle.

“I am…!”

“But the prince will say that he will follow you until the end.”

But I didn’t think he would listen to me.

It might be helpful if he’s hiding, but you never know.

This forest has already become the domain of the warlock.

Even if you hide yourself in such a place, you cannot hide yourself completely.

On the contrary, if you are hiding and are discovered by a warlock and taken hostage, that becomes difficult in its own way.

It may be better to remain safe within the hatchling’s shield within sight.

In a situation where there was no correct answer, it was decided to accept the 3rd prince’s opinion as long as it remained the same no matter what was decided.

“Please take me with you too.”

The 3rd prince spoke with a face full of determination.

He clenched his fists, saying he wanted to help too.

He had a wonderful heart, but staying still was helpful.

And I had no intention of hiding it.

“The prince is of no help at all.”

It’s okay to be an obstacle, but it’s hard to be helpful.

He did not awaken his Aura, nor did he train his body to the limit.

It was fortunate that his presence did not increase the power nor lower it.

“….”

He bit his lip as if he understood what I meant.

The 3rd prince also knew.

That he was too weak to be of any help in battle.

That being still helps.

Rather, if you step out to help but are caught by the enemy, it is like having your foot tripped and knocked down.

He knew it well.

The 3rd prince bowed his head in his helplessness.

“I think you understand what I mean.”

I walked on, thinking that if I had said this much, I would have fully understood.

“If you encounter an enemy, the prince will be surrounded by a protective shield. There is one thing for the prince to do. “Do not move from that shield.”

“….”

The 3rd prince nodded silently.

“Let’s go in.”

When I went inside, unlike the outside, which was filled with black smoke, the inside was quite clear.

It seemed as if all the black smoke forming inside was coming out.

‘What is that?’

As soon as I entered, my body stiffened at the sight I saw.

Five warlocks wearing black robes were seen.

They were scattering something on the huge magic circle drawn on the ground: bone dust and blood.

I couldn’t tell if it was an animal, a monster, or a human, but I could tell that their behavior was not normal at all.

In the center of the magic circle in the middle of them, something was sticking out.

It looked like something I had seen in an old movie.

It looks like human corpses piled together.

I was dazed by that sight that made me nauseous.

-Hide the weak humans!

Then, like a thunderclap, the hatchling’s harsh voice woke me up.

I looked around, reprimanding myself for being out of my mind.

And I found a place that was relatively good for hiding and defending myself from enemies.

They took the 3rd prince and pushed him into a place surrounded by trees like a fortress.

I thought the tree was undead, but after checking the leaves on the tree and the hatchling, I found out that it was an ordinary tree.

As soon as the 3rd prince entered, the hatchling placed three layers of barrier around him.

As long as the hatchling does not run out of mana, the barrier will not be broken.

To break that, you need someone with the same level of strength as a hatchling.

So there was no need to worry about the third prince’s safety.

“…The work speed has become faster because of the high morale.”

“Besides that, it’s much better than before…”

Their voices could be heard whispering as they clung to the magic circle.

What should I do now?

Now that the 3rd prince is out of the way, it’s time to deal with them.

-Human is almost complete!

After listening to the hatchling, I felt that I should not delay any longer.

‘I don’t think you’ve noticed this one yet.’

It was the best time for a surprise attack.

If you start off by dealing with one or two people, it will be much easier to deal with them.

“Hmm.”

I took a deep breath and focused my Aura on my legs.

Aura dwelled in my calves and strengthened my muscles.

Around the time when a bluish aura appeared on the name.

Quaaang –

He kicked the ground and rushed towards the nearby warlock.

“What the hell!”

“Stop it!”

Although other warlocks responded late.

‘late.’

Faster than that, the nameless parted the warlock’s upper body diagonally.

Fu Chemical!

The upper body was split in half and blood was gushing out from the gaping hole.

The blood that flowed from the corpse that fell on the magic circle turned red

.

Ugh, wow, wow –

the magic circle began to suck blood.

Like a vacuum cleaner, the bloodless corpse dried and became a mummy.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The magic circle let out a loud howl, and the summoned object in the center began to move.

“Uh… is it ruined?”

I didn’t know that he would come back like this after killing the warlock so that we could fight comfortably.

‘It’s not some kind of acceleration item.’

Every time a warlock died, the undead progress seemed to speed up.

If you see that the blood disappears when it touches the magic circle, it means that in order to kill the warlock, you have to fight away from the magic circle.

“It’s a pain in the ass.”

The wizards gathered around the undead were aiming at me with their staffs raised.

Even if he died, his will to die within the magic circle was evident.

“Can’t this magic circle be dismantled?”

-It’s not that it’s impossible, but… it’s difficult. It will be faster for you to be summoned than for me to dismantle it.

“What about freezing?”

-It takes time to freeze that thing. Give me time to use my magic.

“How much do you need?”

-It takes a human to swing a sword a thousand times.

The hatchling’s words whetted my appetite.

If it’s a thousand times, it’s about twenty minutes.

They say you have to hold out against them for that long.

The funny thing was that the magic circle was completed faster than that time.

One way or another, having to deal with the undead was a given.

“I think it will be quite difficult once that is completed.”

-That guy is dangerous.

Hatchling agreed with me.

He said that the undead being summoned are very dangerous and must be eliminated before they are completely summoned.

“Why is an Auror user here?”

“Who are you!”

“How did you get in here? “You’re a hunter!”

The warlocks shouted at me.

Seeing the aura formed on the face, they glared at me as if their teeth were shaking.

“You may have killed us to your heart’s content in other places, but it’s different here!”

“Die, hunter!”

The warlocks raised both arms at the same time.

Cooung.

The undead among them moved.

It wriggled, stretched out its body, and lunged at me.

Quaaaaaaan-

The undead head stuck in the spot where I was just moments ago.

No, can you call that a head?

As the warlocks moved around, it was impossible to tell where the head was and where the legs were.

Dozens of human heads and dozens of human arms were tangled together.

Like a centipede, the human arms became legs and ran.

The sight was so disgusting that it made me nauseous.

Kieeeeek!

Several heads began to come together and form one huge face.

It was a face that resembled a white mask with a sad, crying expression.

Bloody tears are dripping from his face.

“Oh, that’s too much.”

That alone was difficult to deal with.

Just dealing with the way humans came together and came together took a lot of mental energy.

But that wasn’t the end.

A weapon that looked like a rib was in its hand, and crying, angry, and screaming faces came out of the giant face’s mouth and rushed towards me.

Sigh!

Even though I was cut, it didn’t feel like I had been cut.

Black liquid bubbled up from the cut and created a new face.

‘I guess I’ll have no choice but to take my time.’

It’s impossible to deal with something like this.

Whether it was complete or not, it was best to hold out until the hatchling completed the spell.

With that thought in mind, it was time to pull back.

Suddenly,

the undead hand came up behind me and grabbed my arm.

When I was scared and tried to get away, countless faces blocked my path.
