Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

Trees taller than 10 meters are located all around. The dense bushes and fluttering leaves add to the severely limited visibility.

‘…Please stay safe.’

Cynthia hoped that Han Seong-jin would be safe and charged forward at incredible speed through the path of the wind.

There was a vague fear in her heart.

The moment I first felt death… It was the feeling I had right before being saved by Han Seong-jin.

Perhaps, just as the mid-level hero who tried to catch her said, a future awaits her.

But even if that future is confirmed, Cynthia doesn’t give up on him.

Because if you give up, it’s really over.

But Cynthia believed.

They say that if you have the intelligence, you can move heaven.

If you work hard with will and belief, heaven will surely reward you.

With that single-minded thought, Cynthia moved along the path of the wind, releasing her magical power without rest.

Kwajik- card grab.

“Human! Krrrrrr!”

Three lizardmen appeared before her.

‘Here… there is no time to be blocked!’

I received the ‘blessing of balance’ through Libra.

The group imprinted on Cheonmu Bong, the five senses and brains gained through the blessing of balance, raised the power of her martial arts to the limit.

Chapter 3 of The God of Weakness.

“Get out of the way!”

Night march of a hundred ghosts.

Cynthia’s most powerful attack to date. She tore a group of lizardmen apart with it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a B-class monster or not.

Their bodies became a handful of blood and water and soaked into the ground. Cynthia took a deep breath for a moment, then quickly regained her senses and ran forward again. There was no time to rest still. Until she found Han Seong-jin.

“… … .”

The bodyguard who was looking for Han Sung-jin with Cynthia couldn’t help but be flustered upon seeing that sight. He never thought that a mere academy cadet would kill three B-class monsters in one breath.

The person who was thought to be simply an object of protection possessed incredible strength. Considering that he was the successor to a noble family, his strength was far above what one might expect.

“What are you doing blankly? You have to go faster!”

“… Okay.”

The bodyguard, who had come to his senses at Cynthia’s screams, increased his speed again to match her movements.

It would be normal for the speed to slow down as time passed, but Cynthia’s speed was getting faster and faster.

Because the Blessing of Balance was adjusting her movements in real time, it was continuously raising the effectiveness of her magic. Also, the effectiveness of ‘The Incomprehensible 1st Chapter of the Monster Power’ was also being adjusted by the Blessing of Balance.

So now she was running through the forest at a speed that was in no way inferior to that of a mid-level hero.

Only one person.

To find Han Seong-jin.

It was while searching for Han Seong-jin that they had been searching for dozens of minutes.

Someone’s voice came to her ear. Cynthia was born with a natural ability to hear, and her hearing was also superior to others. There was no way she had heard wrong.

“voice?”

“… I think I heard a man’s voice for a moment. I can’t tell which direction it was.”

“It’s not just the voice. It’s the smell. It smells too.”

“smell?”

“I can smell my brother. My brother… must be around here!”

Cynthia sensed through her sense of smell that the smell of Han Sungjin was coming from nearby. Cynthia paused for a moment, concentrating on her sense of smell, to check the direction of the smell.

“East… We have to go east.”

“If we turn here… our paths might overlap with those of other groups… No, I think you’re right.”

“Go quickly!”

The bodyguard pretended to look stern, but soon decided to follow Cynthia’s suggestion.

Just from what she showed me, I thought it was right to trust her judgment and abilities more than my own.

And his judgment was correct.

As we continued to move eastward, Cynthia had mentioned, the man’s voice became more distinct. The voice was becoming clearer, and now it was possible to clearly distinguish what he was saying. However, since it was still resonating, it was unclear whether the owner of the voice was the person he was looking for.

-Get out of here!

The man’s voice echoed.

Roughly speaking, the target was estimated to be within 1km. The bodyguards spread their auras to check for monsters in the area and took the lead in clearing them out.

“There are a lot of monsters. You go first!”

“yes!”

A group of lizardmen blocked Cynthia and her bodyguards right in front of them. Rationally, it would have been right to protect her and proceed together, but I thought it would be okay for her to encounter a few lizardmen.

And, if we clashed with the dozen or so lizardmen in front of us now, there was a possibility that time would slow down somewhat.

The guard decided to send Cynthia, as he could not afford to waste another second here since he had heard voices calling for rescue.

‘Almost there…!’

As a result, Cynthia became closer to Han Seong-jin.

The voice that had spread like an echo was now clearly enough to tell who it was. It was definitely Han Seong-jin’s voice. He was in danger now. Cynthia focused all her energy on speed, except for the magic power needed to fight the lizardmen.

‘Just wait a moment! I’ll save you…!’

The end of the forest was in sight.

Cynthia moved forward, pushing through the trees and bushes. Then, a field opened up before her.

“Get out… get out you guys…!”

“Oppa-!”

As she came out into the field, she saw the man she had been looking for. There, Han Seong-jin was being chased by five lizardmen.

“… This voice, Sia? Sia?”

“I’m here! I’ll be there soon!”

Cynthia quickly walked up to Han Sung-jin and hugged him. It wasn’t a hug, but a princess-like hug.

“Thanks to you, I survived… Now it’s time for haste… .”

“Thank goodness… I’m grateful you’re alive.”

When the Haste Scroll had only a few seconds left, Cynthia appeared in front of Han Sung-jin. She immediately ran away while holding Han Sung-jin in her arms. She didn’t want to fight while wasting her strength. Since the Lizardmen were slower than her anyway, there was no need to waste her strength here.

“Human woman, Keruk! She’s ours! Hand her over!”

But, words she should never have heard reached her ears.

“What did you just say?”

From noble mtl dot com

The strange statement that Han Seong-jin is theirs.

Even if he is a monster, he has crossed a line that should not be crossed.

Around Cynthia, chilling magical powers surged and shot out at the lizardmen.

***

“Ke, keruk…! Monster! A monster human! Keruk!”

“thereupon…!”

Cynthia’s magical power had increased like crazy due to Han Seong-jin’s elixir offensive, and her magical power had increased several times more than during the academy midterm exam.

In addition, she learned the art of Shinga’s magic and the magic breathing technique suitable for her under the guidance of Cheonmu Bong, and her magical power has become at a level that is ridiculous for a mere academy student to have.

And now she was using her massive magical power to crush the lizardmen’s limbs.

Chapter 2 of The God of Weakness, Transformation.

An attack that changes not only one’s own physical abilities, but also the magical phenomena around them.

The surrounding magical powers merged with her thoughts and transformed into sharp arrows.

Originally, such advanced applications would have been impossible, but Cynthia is currently receiving the ‘Blessing of Balance’.

In other words, it was a situation where the five senses and brain were developed to the extreme, and one could raise one’s power to over 100%.

“Everyone dies.”

The lizardmen, flying in all directions and fleeing, were all torn to pieces by the magic arrows fired by Cynthia.

“Kueeeeek! Keuk! It hurts so much…!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be dead soon.”

Cynthia swung her bow at the lizardman’s head, which was writhing in pain.

Since he was holding Han Seong-jin with one hand, he didn’t shoot the arrow, but picked up the bow and swung it himself.

Fuzz.

Blood spurted out and the lizardman’s skull was shattered.

Her strength, enhanced by her transformation, was not something a mere B-class monster could withstand.

“… Phew. It’s all over now.”

Cynthia sighed in relief only after killing five lizardmen that had been licking their lips at Han Seong-jin.

Meanwhile, Han Sung-jin, who had been hugging her, was looking at Cynthia with an embarrassed expression.

“Uh… thank you, Sia.”

“Hehehe. What do you mean by this much?”

“I think it would be okay to give it up now….”

“Ah. Ahh… That’s right. Hehe… .”

Cynthia put Han Sungjin down again with an awkward expression. Han Sungjin coughed a few times and then looked at Cynthia and asked.

“Are you okay?”

“…? What is it?”

“No, I just wanted to make sure you weren’t hurt. I have a recovery scroll, do you want to use that?”

“Are you worried about me? I’m so happy about this.”

Cynthia continued speaking, laughing heartily.

“Thank you for worrying, but I’m not hurt! I just ran all the way here! The bodyguards were all spread out looking for me, but I found them first! The other one will join us soon. I heard my brother’s voice and ran into a group of lizardmen, so one of the bodyguards took care of that side while I ran ahead.”

“okay?”

“Yes! Oh, there he is behind you!”

Just then, a bodyguard came out of the forest. When Han Seong-jin waved his hand, the bodyguard nodded as if confirming.

“No…! Next to it…!!”

Han Seong-jin waved his hand with a puzzled expression toward the bodyguard. It was a signal to look to the side.

Then the bodyguard’s gaze turned to the side.

A long creature measuring 3 meters tall with four arms.

Among the lizardmen, one with a strange appearance was running towards the bodyguard at incredible speed.

The distance that had been hundreds of meters was shortened in an instant.

Phew! The bodyguard was blown away with a loud noise, as if a cannon had been fired. That guy… I thought he had the power of a mid-level hero. How could he be blown away with one shot like that?

“The Lizardman warrior leader… right?”

Cynthia muttered in confusion as she looked at the monster.

It was only then that I realized who the monster that had attacked the bodyguard was.

Lizardman warrior general.

The leader of a group of Lizardman Warriors.

He was the boss mob of this gate along with the Lizardman Shaman.
