Chapter 4

“I have no intention of fighting with you. I have a favor to ask of your lord, but it’ll be difficult to do so if I have to kill you.”

They seemed to think I was provoking them.

But it was my heart.

I was going to beg to exchange my life to spare my men.

Cowardly and pathetic, I was going to beg for their neck’s breath.

“It’s already late. We’ve no intention of keeping you alive. If you die, it’ll be all solved. Then you don’t have to fight with us and we won’t let you live the first time.”

Their spirits suddenly changed.

I couldn’t relax anymore when I saw several shadows come towards me at once.

If I had made up my mind, now my goal is to finish this quickly.

I kicked the ground and jumped into the air at the man standing absentmindedly, and fell off with the sword in his hands.

I swung through his waist with a sword loaded with all my strength.

“Huup!

The man glared at me with incredulous eyes.

But the light in them soon went out.

A fountain of blood gushed from his body as I swung the sword that touched his flesh and stabbed the man beside him.

Black~!

“Kill her!”

“Don’t help me!!”

The people shouted loudly.

The sound might have attracted more people.

The fight didn’t scare me, but I was worried that it would end without even trying to reach negotiations.

When I saw three swords flying in front of me at once, I hurriedly moved my sword to block, sparks flashed from the contact.

Many people gathered around me and I began to infuse Mana into the blade.

Those who saw it hesitated in shock.

As I ran through their blades swinging my sword, without missing the moment, the bodies of those who were trying to endure were pushed away.

A brilliant sword dance unfolded, and a splendid painting was being carved.

Meanwhile, dozens of bodies piled up around me.

I wasn’t even short of breath yet.

But it was too early to be relieved because I didn’t know how many people were here.

I didn’t mean to kill everyone I met there.

If only I could persuade them. (TLN: umm imo going out full force kinda makes it hard to talk with ppl if you are surrounded by piles of bodies but at the same time they’re attacking first…)

They just needed to listen to me. I wanted to stop this meaningless fight.

“I have something to say to your lord!”

But they crawled forward in front of me.

“It’s already late. Can we just get to the matter at hand now?”

And someone threw a spear at me.

I stepped back and struck them with a sword, and ran toward those who blocked them like a wall, I soared up high into the air, came down, and burst out my aura.

“Argh!”

In an instant, a bloody mist obscured my vision.

Now I just wanted them to stop.

As my wound opened and new wounds developed, the pain was about to stick out its head as the medicine was losing effectiveness.

When I touched the wound, I felt the wet dark blood.

Passing by groaning people, I drove myself towards a large building with its lights on.

His men were quite persistent, though they had an idea their lord would be there.

I grabbed my sword for a moment and sucked in my breath.

I thought I had done quite a bit, but I didn’t feel any bit diminished.

“Bitter bastards! It’s just good to understand when you’re talking nicely!”

I pushed Mana in once more, and wielded my sword with a feeling that I would not stop until I met him.

I ran to the ground and cut the waist to the heart of those who tried to stop me.

Then I could see a stampeding figure coming from the building.

I wasn’t sure but I thought he’d be the boss.

His long hair waved about from the wind in the dark.

I fired an aura at those who blocked the front.

Running between those who fell helplessly in the strong black wind, I headed for him.

“If you’re their lord, I have something to say to you.”

He looked at me as I approached him shouting.

When the clouds disappeared and the moon was revealed, the man became bright like an early evening.

“You’re somebody.”

Just in time, the wind scattered his hair about.

He curled his hair up like a nuisance.

The head of the bandits, who was full of words, was so different from what I had known that I thought I had come to the wrong place.

A straight forehead and pale skin.

It couldn’t be accurately measured in the dark, but he was a rare handsome man with a fine soft face and clear features.

I was also only in my mid-20s.

“What do you want to say?”

A pleasant voice sank low into my ears.

“I’m Stiana Izven, the commander of the Royal Knights.”

“So what? You didn’t come here in the middle of the night to show off by killing my men.”

He turned his head and looked at one place and said indifferently.

Where he looked, there was a pile of bodies of those who had fallen from those that were blocking me.

I couldn’t complain about his hospitality.

From now on, I had to ask him to do me a favor which he wouldn’t like.

“I’m sorry about that. I wanted to meet you, but I couldn’t help it because they didn’t open the way.”

“If you want to meet someone, but the way isn’t open and clear, you kill them.”

A smile was formed around his mouth.

“Sorry.”

“Should you say you’re sorry about your strength? All the dead have to do is be actually sorry.”

There was a quiet voice.

“…”

“So what were you trying to say?”

He bit out when I couldn’t speak.

“Please save my men.”

“Save your men. What’s the price?”

The story quickly got to the point.

“Why don’t the leaders of the two sides stick together and come to a conclusion and have it all come to an end?”

He laughed again.

“So you’ll give your life up so you can save them.”

“Or you can give your life a chance to live.”

When I lifted the sword, he gave me a humorous expression.

“I saw your sword. It was fun.”

The man stated.

“That’s all. It was just fun.”

There was no one who had said that about my sword.

But I didn’t think I was even offended by the remark.

It wasn’t easy to breathe in the overwhelming tension that I experienced for the first time in my life.

He didn’t do anything great, he just simply pulled out his sword and put his momentum forward.

But even that was unusual.

One who saw the end of a sword.

It occurred to me.

I could feel that energy from him, who seemed to be a few years younger than me, was almost no different.

I thought it wouldn’t be a shame to give up everything and put everything down like this, but at that moment, I got greedy.

I wanted to see his sword through and through. (TLN: the warrior inside her won’t let her back down from a worthy opponent!)

Even if a man who has been searching for gold all his life found an unimaginable gold mine at the moment of his death, it would not be possible to understand all (bitter elation) of my current feelings. (TLN: see note at bottom)

The long-cherished desire of the sword I wanted to reach for.

It wasn’t just to get there, but to go way beyond it.

Tears of unknown meaning flowed as I watched him.

There was no way to express my feelings in any form of words.
