Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 70

How did this happen?

It’s a sandworm.

Even knights have a hard time catching them on their own, and when catching them, you always have to hunt them as a team, including a wizard.

It was such a strong monster.

And since I knew that the monster inhabited the desert and lived in the north, I was always on guard using detection magic.

And when the huge creature was caught by the detection spell, I felt that it was a sandworm.

The only thing this big was the sandworm.

And before they could say it was dangerous, Raymond shouted at them to avoid it.

He was surprised by the feeling of the sandworm’s presence and did as he was told and escaped.

And he tried to attack the sandworm using magic.

Sandworms had a habit of never losing sight of their prey.

Therefore, in order to live, one had to kill.

But before she could step forward, Raymond moved.

He even brandished his sword and shouted at himself, a wizard, not to step forward.

I thought they were doing it because they were worried about themselves.

Hunting sandworms alone was impossible unless you were a skilled person.

I don’t know what level of skill he has, but I don’t think he is capable of hunting sandworms on his own.

‘Sandworm leather is very tough.’

The leather was so tough that ordinary swordsmen could never be cut down.

There is no way I can deal with a guy like that alone.

Kieeeeek!

But why are you fighting so well?

Raymond was literally flying.

Each time the sword was swung, the sand shark’s head exploded.

Even when she thought it was dangerous, it was resolved in a different direction than she expected.

But that didn’t last long either.

“Red Mill!”

He was eaten by a sandworm.

She, who firmly believed that he was Red Mill, could not bear to watch him die, leaving his wife by her side.

“Fire Lance!”

He shot out a spear of fire.

However, the firepower was weak. No, it wasn’t a good match.

Fire did not penetrate the sandworm’s skin.

Lightning had to be used instead of fire.

She had forgotten it in such a tense situation.

And thinking that it was not too late, I prepared the thunderbolt magic.

The magic she learned when she joined the 5th Circle.

Pajijijik –

Electricity begins to bounce above the magic circle.

The best magic she can do.

The magic was about to unfold.

Sigh.

The sound of flesh being cut was heard.

That sound was not just one sound. When the sound that increased countless times stopped.

Toad-duk-duk.

The worm’s body, which had soared high, shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

“Ugh…”

And in the middle of it all, I saw Raymond lifting up his clothes and shaking off the slime as if he felt uncomfortable.

“Red Mill!”

I hurriedly ran to him.

“clean!”

A bright light enveloped his body, and the dirt on his body disappeared.

“Oh, thank you.”

Beatrice felt defeated when she saw him answering in a calm voice.

My worries became meaningless.

And only then did I know whether his companions were able to remain calm.

Because I believed it.

He was confident that he would not lose to Sandworm.

“Lord Redmill… is strong.”

I saw him again.

At first I thought he was a pitiful person.

I heard that he became a knight, but I had no idea he would be this strong.

With this level of power, he would be at least intermediate Sword Expert.

“It’s no big deal. “Anyone can do it if they know how.”

And he was even humble.

I developed a crush on him.

It was an interest in the person himself, not a view of the opposite sex.

Despite his ability, he seemed like a decent person who humbled himself and took care of his people.

“But first we have to move.”

He said.

Let’s move.

He wasn’t even able to pick up the by-products yet, but he was saying he should leave.

I was a little puzzled by that.

Didn’t you mean to make money?

In order to make money, even a piece of a corpse is valuable.

But let’s leave it behind.

“I smelled blood.”

As he continued, Beatrice was able to understand what he meant when he asked her to leave.

‘Monsters may come around.’

Sandworms are very large.

And the smell of blood was very strong.

The body was torn to pieces and scattered in all directions.

Desert monsters that smell that scent will come.

If that happens, they could be in danger.

“let’s go.”

It was not the time to take care of the body.

If I hesitated to grab even one more piece, I could be surrounded by monsters coming from all directions.

And that thought soon turned into conviction.

Kieeeeek!

The sound of a sandworm was heard.

And besides the sandworm, the cries of other monsters were also heard.

‘What was he doing?’

I was curious about what I did before I lost my parents and became a knight.

If you can cut a sandworm into pieces, you must be incredibly talented.

It was surprising that such a talented person was not known until now.

If you do well, you might be able to take it with you.

A person with that level of skill was enough to become a knight of his family.

***

The by-product of the sandworm was not a waste of money.

It’s not like I’m tight on money.

The excuse was that I came here to make money.

So there is no reason to have regrets about sandworms.

‘Anyway, I don’t have a good place to sleep.’

Half a day has already passed since I caught the sandworm.

Slowly darkness began to fall.

The first night in the North. It is very dangerous, so you must choose your resting place carefully.

But there is no suitable place to rest.

Monsters are more rampant at night than during the day.

You search for food and all your senses are heightened compared to the daytime.

In short, if you choose the wrong place to sleep, it will become your grave.

“It’s the lowest here.”

There were no sand dunes and the place was relatively flat.

And there I took out the sleeping bags I got from William.

“Can you play Silence and Invisibility?”

He then handed Beatrice a medium-grade magic stone and asked for it.

Why you need a wizard on your team.

It also shows its importance when camping.

She accepted the magic stone I gave her.

And then he looked at me blankly.

I was puzzled by her for a moment, and then I realized the meaning of the way she was looking at me.

‘Ah, magic stones…’

Magic stones are expensive.

In particular, the magic stone I gave you is not something that can be easily purchased as a mid-level magic stone.

“Oh, that…”

I tried to make an excuse about the magic stone.

“All right.”

But before that, she nodded as if she understood.

What did you think?

Without asking any more, she reached for the magic stone I gave her.

Paaaaat!

And I used two magic.

Silence that erases our sounds.

Invisibility to disappear from marauders and monsters.

With those two magics, you can still sleep somewhat safely.

“Sleep first. “I will be on guard.”

“thank you.”

“good night.”

“good night.”

The group buried themselves in their sleeping bags and closed their eyes one by one.

I half-buried myself in my sleeping bag and used my sword as support to guard my surroundings.

Because magic is not omnipotent.

Some monsters find food using senses other than sight.

Such monsters could not be avoided just by erasing their sound and appearance.

For something like that, I had to be on guard and be on guard.

‘Monsters are monsters, but humans are more dangerous.’

There are three things to watch out for in the North.

Monsters and atrocious environment. And humans.

There are marauders in the north.

You have to be careful of them.

Whioooooo!

The desert wind was very cold.

And it was sharp.

A sandstorm swirled around, obscuring my view.

Although it was blocked to some extent by magic, it becomes impossible as the distance increases.

…!

At that time, I heard a sound from far away.

The sound of weapons clashing.

The cries of monsters.

People’s screams.

It was heard from not far away, but was drowned out by the sound created by the blowing sandstorm.

That very faint sound was quite annoying.

‘If you’re going to fight, fight from afar.’

The sound can be heard all the way up here in the fierce wind.

They’re not that far away.

I didn’t think about going to save them.

Moving in a sandstorm like this is dangerous.

Even in my past life, I was taught not to sacrifice myself to save others.

“Lord Redmill.”

But it seemed like Beatrice heard it too.

Her eyes looked at me.

She was asking with her eyes.

What are you going to do?

I thought you were sleeping.

I think she had trouble sleeping because it was her first time experiencing homelessness.

“The wind is noisy.”

After saying that, I closed my eyes.

There was no need to stand guard.

Monsters will no longer be interested in us.

They will rush to that place when they hear that sound and smell the blood.

“….”

I slightly narrowed my eyes and looked at the quiet Beatrice.

She turned over and turned her back on me.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s selfish.

Because my safety is most important to me.

…!

That sounded right.

And only the sounds of monsters and the wind filled the desert.

After the night when the bitter sand wind blew.

A hot sunny morning has arrived.

“I got sand in my mouth.”

“Just rinse it off with some water and it’ll be fine.”

I walked at a pace that was neither slow nor fast.

Catching monsters in the desert should be avoided as much as possible.

What if we were the military?

It is very dangerous to deal with monsters coming from all directions.

…haha!

It was then.

A faint laughter was heard.

A frivolous laugh. The sound of laughter, as if someone had found a fun toy, was getting closer.

At that sound, I felt strength going into my lower back.

There is only one group of people who can make such a loud noise in the desert.

And that group should not meet now.

“run!”

shouted to the group.

Although they were puzzled, they started running at my words.

‘The speed is different.’

I can easily beat them all by myself.

No, just Beatrice and Mahol are enough to beat them.

But I can’t.

Flying through the sky with magic has its limits, and she can’t take all of us.

And above all, the sky is dangerous.

Although there is nothing in the sky now.

If, at least once, something starts flying in the sky, you have to hide yourself from it.

However, if I were to carry it on my back, there were only two people I could carry.

And of course, the speed becomes slower.

“Hahahaha!”

I thought too long.

They were already right behind us.

“Don’t look back.”

I told my group.

The group followed my words.

I ran while looking straight ahead. But that wouldn’t last long.

“Ha…”

I sigh.

And then I glanced back.

There were at least a few people and at most there were more than a dozen people.

These ‘predators’ riding on six-legged vehicles resembling camels

.

The ones you need to be most careful about in the North.

They took interest in us.
