Chapter 302

At this time, the sky was already bright.

The nocturnal monsters have completely hid, while the daytime monsters have become active, looking for food in forests, plains, and grasslands.

If it is a wise person, it should not enter these areas, so as not to become a meal for hungry monsters.

However, under such circumstances, a figure appeared in a suburb close to the forest.

"Hahaha……"

A young girl was pulling another younger girl, panting heavily, while running wildly in this kind of place.

"elder sister……!"

The little girl who seemed to be only about ten years old was dragged by her elder sister, and it could even be said to be dragged to run, which made her scream involuntarily.

But the girl couldn't let her sister stop.

Or rather, she didn't dare to stop.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

The girl could only whip her heart that was about to soften, and let her sister continue to run forward.

no way.

Otherwise, the sisters would soon die.

"stop!"

"Damn stinky girl!"

Finally, death caught up.

Those are two knights.

The knights wore standard armor and held long swords, but their running speed was not affected by the heavy armor at all. They were much faster than a healthy adult, and they were well-trained.

But these two knights, with ferocious faces, kept chasing the two sisters in front.

There was a cold murderous look in their eyes, and the sword in their hands was stained with blood. They told others what they wanted to do to the weak sisters.

And behind these two people, in a small village, bursts of screams could be heard indistinctly, making the air smell like blood.

The girl's heart was almost torn apart by grief.

Because she knew that in the village where the screams were being heard, there were not only her parents, but also the neighbors who smiled kindly at her in the past.

But now, they are suffering unreasonable violence, cruel and merciless massacres.

And the people who did all this were none other than these executioners who were obviously knights who defended their homes and the country, but were doing the work of robbers.

The grief welling up in her heart made the girl almost give up and run away.

But the little warmth from her hand reinjected the girl's heart that was about to give up with strength.

"elder sister……"

The sound of the little girl crying brought the girl back to her senses on the verge of collapse.

Yes, she has a younger sister.

It doesn't matter what I do, but at least let my sister live.

This is the chance to escape that the parents have desperately exchanged for. It is they who use their bodies as shields to stand in front of the two sisters so that they can have a chance to escape.

So, even if it's only my younger sister, I have to escape.

"Go!"

Seeing that her sister could hardly run anymore, the girl had no choice but to drag her away from the executioners who were chasing her.

However, they are just country girls in a remote rural village, how could they outrun well-trained knights?

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the girl felt a kick on her back, and her whole body flew out together with her sister, hitting the ground.

"Goo...!"

The girl exhaled all the air from her lungs, only to feel pain in her back.

"elder sister!"

The younger sister wailed again, but was hugged and protected by the girl.

"What a pointless struggle."

"Isn't it good to die here obediently?"

The god of death in armor caught up with the two sisters and appeared in front of them, looking down at them with indifference in his eyes, and even the indignation that he had spent unnecessary effort.

The only thing here is that there is no reverence for life, and no sinful shame for what I have done.

Seeing such a knight figure, anyone can immediately understand one thing.

That is, begging for mercy is useless.

They are gods of death, existences that only come to harvest life.

Even if there are two weak girls in front of them, and a little girl about ten years old, there is no trace of softness on their faces, as if the ones who are about to be slaughtered are not human beings, but livestock.

The girl immediately gave up all chances and thoughts of begging for mercy, and pushed the younger sister out of her arms.

"Go! You go!"

"elder sister!"

The girl could already see herself lying in a pool of blood, so she gave up resistance, pushed her sister away, and let her live as long as possible.

But how could the younger sister leave her elder sister in this situation and run away alone?

So, the younger sister hugged her elder sister desperately, and refused to let go no matter what.

The girl was anxious, so she had no choice but to protect her sister tightly, and stared unyieldingly at the killer in front of her with the most vicious eyes in her life.

"Die."

The knights turned a blind eye to the girl's last look of resistance, one stood there with a sneer, and the other raised his sword high, ready to deal the last blow to the weak life in front of him.

"God..."

The girl closed her eyes, felt her sister's body temperature, and prayed to the sky before the final countdown to death.

"Shua!"

The knight's long sword ignored the girl's prayers, and was not blocked by any miracles. It fell mercilessly like the scythe of death, as if mocking the girl's last actions.

The girl's last prayer failed to summon God's mercy in the end.

However, God is not merciful; some people are merciful.

"Clang—"

A crisp sound like the clash of gold and iron suddenly appeared, like an echo, echoing throughout the outskirts of the forest.

"What?"

"You, who are you!?"

The exclamation of the knights immediately reached the ears of the girl who closed her eyes.

The girl didn't feel the pain of being cut open by a sharp weapon, but instead felt a gentle breath.

That aura stood in front of her, very much like the father who just stood in front of the knight in order to fight for their chance to escape.

"……well?"

Only then did the girl open her eyes tremblingly, and saw a figure from behind.

A back that is completely different from his father, but taller, taller, and more secure.

He stood in front of the girl and faced the two knights.

One of the two knights could not help but take a step back, and the expression of the other changed drastically.

This is also a matter of course.

If someone blocks a sword that can easily cut through a human body with his hand, no matter who is his opponent, he will have such a reaction.

And that's what's happening now.

"Are you okay?"

Calm words sounded softly.

The master who looked more reliable than his father turned sideways and looked at the two girls who fell on the ground.

He was younger than the girl imagined, even seemed to be the same age as herself.

His physique is not considered burly, and his sense of presence is not strong, which makes people wonder if they have seen some phantom.

But such a boy who was roughly the same age as the girl, at this moment, not only stood in front of the two knights, but also ignored them, completely treating them as if they didn't exist.

In the hands of such a young man, with two fingers, he pinched the sword that the knight had just cut.

"You..."

The girl stared blankly.

"Let go!"

The knight whose long sword was pinched roared angrily, exerting all his strength, desperately trying to draw the sword back.

"Ha ah ah ah ah!"

Another knight who had just taken a step back held a long sword and slashed at the young man who suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in front of the two of them at some unknown time.

"careful!"

Seeing this scene, the girl exclaimed.

However, the boy still didn't even look at the two knights, he just looked sideways at them, and stretched out the fingers of his other hand towards the charging knight.

"[Lightning Strike]."

Amidst the soft chants, the boy's fingers stretched out towards the knight suddenly flashed with lightning.

In the next second, lightning burst out.

"Puff!"

As a bolt of lightning shot out from the boy's fingertips, the knight rushing towards the boy was hit directly by the lightning, pierced through his chest, and spattered a large amount of blood.

Lightning pierced through his back and shot at a big tree beside him, cutting off the big tree in half.

"Uh... ah..."

The figure of the knight charged froze there, blood spewed from his mouth and nose, his eyes stared as if they were about to explode, and he fell to the ground after a short while, losing his breath.

"——"

silence.

At this moment, no matter whether it was the girl or the knight who was pinched by the blade and was still struggling there, trying to withdraw his sword, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

The girl just felt that the scene in front of her was full of unreality.

When he was about to be killed, a boy of the same age as him suddenly appeared, and while holding the sharp blade with his fingers, lightning flashed from the fingers of the other hand, piercing through the body of the knight who was still like a god of death just now , this kind of thing is too magical for a village girl who lives in a remote village all year round.

Even the knight yelled after realizing what happened.

"This, this is the third level of magic? You are the highest level magic caster!?"

These words were exchanged for the young man raising his eyebrows.

"The highest level magic caster? Do you mean this level?"

The boy felt noncommittal about the knight's words, and made a half-smile.

"No, even if the natives of this world have never seen magic above the seventh level, then at least don't regard the magic of the third level as the highest level magic?"

"As far as you are concerned, if you want to call a magic caster the highest-level existence, you must at least see the fifth-level magic, right?"

"For example, this."

The boy pointed his flashing finger at the knight.

"[Dragon Thunder]."

In an instant, more violent and dazzling lightning than before emerged from the boy's fingertips.

"The fifth tier magic!?"

The knight finally let out a scream.

"You are the magic caster of the Hero Realm...!?"

The knight fled.

Throwing down his sword, he fled in embarrassment.

But no matter how fast he ran, it was impossible for him to be faster than Thunderbolt.

"boom!"
