I Can See Your Code

Chapter 115

I see your code (115)

I barely caught hold of my body about to collapse.

The momentary shock was so strong that the paring didn’t work properly, but if you see that the balrog pauses for a short time, it must have been activated.

The problem is, that’s all you can do to survive.

―Grrr… … .

Balrog let out an angry moan. Still, the light of bewilderment in my eyes, it seems I never imagined that I would survive.

I looked at him and took a deep breath.

He must have drained half of his power, but his left shoulder was creaking.

Although he is recovering at a great speed thanks to the ‘Dragon Blood’, if he is attacked in this state, he will not be able to withstand it and will fly away immediately.

At that moment, Balrog also came to his senses and raised his arms again. As long as the attack you just made is blocked, of course, this one will come stronger.

… … If that’s the case anyway, let’s take a little bit of time.

I relaxed my shoulders slightly and pointed my sword at Balrog.

“Can you barely understand what people are saying?”

He is a guy who even acts for a surprise attack.

If you have that kind of intelligence, you can at least guess the atmosphere from the tone.

Indeed, the arm he had raised paused for a moment as if he knew that Balrog was talking to himself.

However, another disadvantage of having high intelligence is that they are quick to notice. He read that I was wasting time and rushed to attack.

As I stared at her arm, I exhaled.

“Is Baphomet okay?”

For a moment, Balrog’s movement stopped. He looked at me with a much more bewildered look than when I blocked the attack earlier.

It is a reaction that I never imagined that the name would appear here.

I spoke quickly before he regained consciousness.

“I know that Baphomet has not yet fully recovered from the aftermath of the seal. Of course, the fact that he was recuperating nearby.”

At that point, I paused for a while. Balrog’s eyes were now trembling as if an earthquake had occurred.

After all, I guess I can barely understand human language.

The guy was at a loss for the first time as he entered the battle, then looked up at the ceiling and howled.

―Graah!

Balrog roared like that a few more times, then looked at me with scorching eyes. He seemed to have decided to just give up and rule out the cause while trying to understand what was going on.

Well, it’s a little sad, but is that enough?

The time I spent talking now is much longer than the time other knights have been fighting.

I raised an eyebrow and said one last time.

“I don’t think there’s any need for someone who is going to die soon anyway.”

-Graah!

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his arm.

My shoulder is almost healed already. Even the best potions were sprayed with speed.

I quickly grabbed my sword and pared the attack in time.

bang!

A shock as if hit by a cannon. My shoulder, which I thought was almost healed, immediately started to tatter.

Still, if I had enough time, it would be enough. If you land safely while passing the next attack… … .

At that moment, my thoughts were interrupted by a sudden noise from below. I don’t have time to check below. He immediately lowered his sword and concentrated his magic.

Quang!

“ね… … .”

I hung up against the wall and gasped for breath.

Injuries… … It’s not as severe as you think. It’s probably because my attack was weak in the first place rather than because I blocked it well. Because it was a movement that he flew without even holding a proper posture.

He grabbed his side and looked at Balrog.

He was waving his legs and staring at me. He slammed his arms upwards and slashed my stomach with his knees downwards.

It wasn’t that hard to imagine, but I never expected it to come out like that. Because there was a setting that Balrog would treat everything as trash except for attacks with his arms.

I wondered if he was angry with my words, but what Balrog saw in his eyes was a different emotion.

“… … Is Baphomet so afraid?”

Balrog, who is barely a level 2, is acting as if he has a panic disorder just by hearing his name.

The guy who didn’t show any signs of surprise when he saw the hundreds of knights in the cavity.

But there was no time to admire that fact.

―Grrr… … .

Maybe it wasn’t enough to hit me against the wall, because Balrog was approaching me with a frown on his face. At this point, the intention to see the end was clear.

Damn, I’m in a bit of trouble right now.

As I was about to get up using the sword as a support, I saw a back blocking my way. It’s a pretty solid looking back.

“You held up really well. It was so embarrassing that I stretched out in one room.”

Its owner was the national knight Verian. He spoke in a firm voice.

“Let’s rest there for a while. Thanks to you, my recovery is almost over.”

… … Can I trust you? Of course, he’s a stronger knight than me, but there must be no way to survive against a higher rank without parrying.

First of all, I had no reason to meddle, so I comfortably leaned my back against the wall as he said.

Let’s see how much we can fight this time.

Brian walked forward a little and pointed his sword at Balrog. I’m going to widen the distance by taking care of me, who is injured.

So he and Balrog face each other.

Quang!

Verian was cornered again with one hit of Balrog.

“… … .”

No, it’s the expected result… … something is wrong Whether you’re fancy or not

I turned to Xenon. The injury was so severe that I thought I would move on to the next turn, but I was recovering enough to be able to move because I took so long. I barely cry though.

“… … Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s your turn.”

I just said one word and looked at Xenon without saying a word.

He wanted to hold on with an iron plate on his face, and then immediately got up from his seat with a chewing expression on his face. Seeing that, my suspicions that he must have been seriously injured on purpose grow stronger.

You’ll see this time

“… … shit.”

Zeno let out a soft swear word and approached Balrog. Balrog glanced at him with a gaze as if he were looking at an annoying bug.

“Whatever happened, I will respond with all my might.”

As if he really wanted to, Zenon raised his sword with a determined face.

Was it a misunderstanding that I intentionally removed the power earlier?

I felt sorry for doubting for a while, but it didn’t last long.

―Grrr… … .

The moment Balrog slams his arm. I could see Xenon taking his strength away from his sword. It was also clear that he was seriously injured and wanted to fall.

However, Zeno’s actions this time were wrongly judged and controlled.

“Shut up… … !”

I don’t know if it was because of the aftereffects of the injury, but he lost too much power. The sword was broken in two, and Balrog’s arm struck Xenon’s side directly.

Even though he orthodoxly received the power of a higher rank than himself, there is no human being who can withstand it. Xenon collapsed on his back in a single blow and died.

I looked at it and sighed.

If I had done it right this time, I could have survived. Is that just self-employment?

―Groo… …

Balrog grinned as if this was all, and strode towards me. It was a situation that anyone could be afraid of, but unlike before, I just leaned against the wall and watched him blankly. Duke clenched his teeth and stood up.

“Sir Dante, focus on your recovery. This time I will take over.”

“You don’t have to.”

“But right now, I’m the only one who can move… … .”

“It doesn’t mean that.”

I let my relaxed body hang slightly and point to the side.

“It means our role is already over.”

“What… … .”

As Dake replied, his gaze followed the tip of my finger. And shut your mouth. There were two men approaching, fiddling with the sheath.

“We have him now. It was a lot of trouble.”

Balrog turned around at the sudden voice. You can only see a side view from here, but his bewildered expression was clearly visible in his eyes.

As a guy, it was inevitable, because there, two second-class knights who had finished the battle were aiming their swords at him.

All of them were pretty badly wounded, so it looks like they overworked the situation a bit.

It seems to be easier than I thought, but… … That’s how long it took me to turn it off. either by battle or by mouth.

First of all, it looks like the job is done.

As I sat peacefully watching two men fighting one another, a message suddenly appeared and obscured my view.

[Story Branch! / 「Continuation of Argon Power」]

[Points + 2,000]

You rescued the Knights of Argon from the brink of annihilation! At least temporarily! You’ll be awarded 2,000 points for a great achievement!

* * *

“I heard you said that you did a great job this time too.”

Vincent said as he handed him a glass. I thought it was just alcohol, so I tried to get it, but a clean magical energy flowed out from within.

what?

I looked at the code that popped up right above.

[IT-A-72]

“This… … We’re kicking the Myeong-myeong grass.”

“Your eyesight is great. You can even recognize the type just by smelling it.”

Vincent looked at me with a slightly startled face.

“As you said, it is true that we used Geukmyeongcho. Besides that, I added a few more.”

Then he beckoned me to drink instead of refusing. I stared at the glass and swallowed it in one bite.

Even though the time to rise to the level with the elixir has already passed, you can feel a considerable amount of magical power being added to your body the moment you drink it.

It must be said that it is the top-class among the Yeongcho. This should be equivalent to the amount that can be obtained after almost half a year of training.

He immediately replaced it with psychic power, and bowed his head toward Vincent.

“Precious item, thank you.”

Vincent grinned.

“Rather, I have to say I’m sorry because that’s all I can give right now. It was just a place I was dispatched to for a while, so I didn’t have anything.”

“This is enough.”

I got points anyway.

Vincent shrugged and got up from the sofa.

“Even if you don’t have to be humble, you will be rewarded at the kingdom level in the future. No, why not just belong to Argon right now? The price I could pay would be much higher.”

“… … .”

Is the recruitment offer a characteristic of the Argonne Kingdom? This is already the second time. To another person, in a different way.

I put down my glass and said politely.

“Thank you, but this is an unacceptable offer for me.”

“Is it because of the master?”

“That’s right.”

“I know Sir Iron has decided not to belong to any nation. However, that is not your problem as a disciple, is it?”

I answered bluntly.

“It is the will of the Master.”

“Hmm… … Then I can’t help it. I won’t bother you any more.”

“thank you.”

Vincent took a few bites and sat down a little at a nearby desk. And, as if he had just remembered it, he asked me in an insignificant voice.
