I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 19. Single Bridge Dalian (5)

A skilled archer can fire 15 arrows per minute, and a knight using the power of Aura can fire 60 arrows per minute.

However, Katherine, a master of archery, poured fifteen arrows at Keter in just five seconds.

Although the accuracy rate was low, only eight of them were directed at Keter, but it was impossible for Keter to block them all. have no choice but to avoid

Toong.

When Catherine fired fifteen shots, Keter fired only one arrow. No matter how transparent the arrow may be, it’s only one shot. It is common sense that you can’t stop all 15 arrows rushing at you.

However, Catherine disrespectfully failed to believe in her archery skills.

‘Why do you think everything will be blocked?’

Catherine’s anxiety became a reality. The first arrow he shot ricocheted into the sky and was shot down.

It was a very fleeting moment, but it began to show little by little in Catherine’s eyes as she focused her aura on her eyes. This is the path that Kether’s transparent arrow travels. It was closer to what I felt rather than what I saw.

‘ah… … .’

Catherine was amazed.

The scene where Keter’s arrows knocked out all of her own arrows, she could only watch in awe.

The arrows shot by Kether were like living snakes. With movements and angles that could hardly be considered arrows, he struck out all the arrows.

Tarada da dazzang!!

Catherine’s fifteen arrows were shot in an instant, but Keter’s shooting down fifteen arrows was even more instant.

“… … .”

The soldiers opened their mouths wide and could not say anything. What the hell happened? No one understood except Catherine.

Fifteen arrows shot by Catherine bounced in all directions as if caught in a typhoon.

If he had seen Kether’s arrows, he would have understood. However, since it was invisible, the soldiers could not understand it at all.

“eww… … .”

Meanwhile, Katherine groaned, clutching her eyes with her left hand. Blood flowed between Catherine’s fingers, which covered her eyes.

“Commander!”

The soldiers were about to run away, wondering what was going on, but Katherine reached out and stopped them.

“Nothing. It’s just because I concentrated the aura on my eyes forcibly.”

Cater laughed at her words.

‘If I don’t treat it now, I’ll regret it.’

Katherine’s injuries were clearly visible. It is 100 meters away, but this distance is meaningless to Keter. Keter’s eyesight, no, the power of the Sephira family’s eyes is so great that he can even see Catherine’s downy hair.

Keter knows because he also learned medicine from liqueur. If not treated now, Katherine will go blind.

As Katherine wiped the blood from her vision, Keter fired another arrow.

Push!

This time, Katherine’s calf was torn open and blood splattered. One of the soldiers secretly admired Catherine shouted angrily.

“Brother Keter! Aren’t you cowardly! The commander has an eye injury! At least wait for first aid… … !”

Keter snorted at his words.

“If I twist it, you will attack me.”

Tung.

Keter shot an arrow at the soldier who was talking nonsense.

Quick! dump.

The soldier fell backwards out of nowhere. A large bump had formed on the forehead of the soldier who had fainted without making a cheep.

Keter looked around at the soldiers.

“Don’t just say cowardly, attack. Even if you all come together, I will accept it.”

As the soldiers hesitated, Katherine, who had regained her composure, shouted.

“for a moment. wait for me. I apologize for the rudeness of my soldiers.”

Katherine stopped the bleeding from her eyes thanks to the soldier buying her time. But it definitely felt.

‘If I continue like this, I might go blind.’

But what does that mean?

Shall we admit defeat here?

It can’t be.

Even if you lose your life, you cannot fail the mission. That is the essence of the article.

It was a life he had obtained from the Sephira family anyway, so he had nothing to regret even if he returned it.

“I do it until the end. Because I haven’t lost yet.”

Katherine gazed at Keter with blurry vision.

Tung!

Keter fired an arrow nonchalantly.

“Of course it should.”

Blood spattered from Catherine’s right thigh again. I still can’t see it so I can’t deal with it. The wounds are growing, and the bleeding is getting worse.

Still, Catherine did not give up. She used all the skills she had learned so far.

Aries, the first archery that shoots arrows at a target point in succession.

The second bow, Geum Woo-gung, shoots three arrows simultaneously in the form of a triangle.

but it doesn’t all work Keter’s mysterious archery was unmatched by anything.

No one knows what happened because it is invisible. It just made me feel even more frustrated and cramped. Fear of the unknown struck even the soldiers who were watching.

Catherine grabbed the arrow, then trembled.

It was the last arrow.

One of the losing rules of Single Bridge Dalian, whoever runs out of arrows first loses.

Catherine could tell without looking. That Keter had far more arrows left than he had.

If you can’t defeat Keter with a single shot, you lose.

Katherine tried to shoot an arrow and stopped. Then, he stood firm in silence.

“Captain… … !”

The soldiers were sorry.

Catherine’s defeat was a foregone conclusion. If I admit defeat like this, I can receive treatment.

Catherine did not fire her last arrow. That meant, in other words, that he would withstand all of Keter’s attacks.

Keter relaxed and said.

“Can I show you more? Are you finished now?”

“Please come. Even if it means dying, I will take your arrow.”

“No, you cannot die without my permission. Because you are a slave.”

The sun is slowly going down. Keter fired an arrow without wasting time. It is an invisible arrow again.

It may seem that way to others, but this time it was a little different. It was a short sparring, but Catherine, who had grown up, was faintly felt. The point where Keter’s arrows aim.

‘It’s coming towards my neck.’

Is it because he intentionally reveals his presence and scares people into avoiding it?

‘If that’s your intention, you’re wrong. I don’t avoid it.’

Katherine closed her eyes, feeling that her vision, which was now beginning to be obscured, was cumbersome. It doesn’t matter if your throat is pierced and you die. Because that’s the article.

Chuak!

But Kether’s arrows only grazed this time.

‘Again? why?’

It was at this time that Katherine began to question. something wrapped around his neck. I felt like a death row inmate being hanged.

The body was pulled back. With a force equal to that of a horse pulling, Catherine could not stand it.

‘I have strength in my legs… … .’

The lower body that was constantly attacked by Keter. In fact, it was Keter’s goal for this very moment.

With continued bleeding, Catherine fell backwards unable to resist the pull.

dump.

Katherine fell on her buttock. She frantically groped for her own neck, but there was no rope hanging.

“Commander!”

Soldiers rushed at Catherine.

“Are you okay?”

“I will stop the bleeding!”

At that time, Keter, who had been walking leisurely, spoke to Catherine.

“Who won, slave?”

“… … .”

Catherine and the soldiers kept their mouths shut. The soldiers only looked at Catherine.

Even though Catherine had her eyes closed, she could feel the soldiers’ gazes. Its gaze was one that begged for orders. If it was for Catherine, her eyes would say that it would be a false testimony.

Catherine, however, shook her head at the soldiers.

“I lost.”

The soldiers bowed their heads and fell silent when they saw Catherine readily accepting. To go any further than this was to insult Katherine.

* * *

After the sparring of Catherine and Keter.

Keter carried Catherine on her back to the infirmary, and the soldiers returned to their quarters. The 2nd shooting range, dyed in the orange sunset, had already been cleaned up and was empty.

It was then.

Swoop.

A man who appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the empty space bent down. He picked up something on the floor.

It was an empty floor that looked like nothing at first glance, but when the man’s hand touched it, it soon revealed its reality.

it was an arrow

A hollow wooden arrow with the arrowhead removed.

It was an arrow shot by Keter.

“Keter.”

The man muttered the name in a thin voice.

The sunset started to cast shadows on the shooting range, but the man’s eyes shone in the dark. The pupils are purple, and the iris is golden.

From noble mtl dot com

Unidentified, he was a blood relative of Sephira.

However, few people knew of his existence. Even the current head of the house, Basil, had only heard of the name, but had never seen him in person, and the former head of the house, Ricotta Basil, had only seen this man once, when he was very young.

The man walked in the dark and retrieved all the arrows Keter had shot. The arrows remained invisible until they touched the man’s hand, but as soon as they were caught, the invisible state was released.

The man who appeared in the scarlet sunset was young. Now, he looks like he is only 20 years old, and he is tall and slender. He looked like a man, but his off-white color was outstanding enough to be considered a woman. And, the ears were very long.

The public calls them this way.

Say ‘elf’.

“Keter.”

The man whispered Keter’s name once more. His eyes, transcending everything, looked at the mansions below the shooting range.

His name is Endymion.

Enmidion El Sephira.

The guardian deity that has been protecting the Sephira family for nearly 200 years.

His status recorded in Sephira’s history book is ‘elder’.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the position of ‘elder’ with power equal to that of the family head was created only for Endymion.

It has been 150 years since he did not appear to the Sephira family. It wasn’t simply because he lived more than 500 years, and life felt futile.

“Lillian. i said No matter how much you try to control me and the world, you can’t stop the flow of the times.”

Queen Lillian was afraid. That human beings become stronger, which would threaten the position of God.

That’s why magic has been limited, and the development of technology has been suppressed. The reason why Endymion, an elf, was unable to reveal his existence and act, was because of Lillian’s threat.

“Endymion. It would be fun to kill you right now, but I think it would be more fun to watch the Sephira family slowly fall apart. Still, if you want to die quickly, try going somewhere.”

It was the reason why Endymion could not be active even though he knew that the Sephira family would fall.

When she starts to step in, the queen will send her lords. The four great monarchs who use the power of ‘Ain’ like themselves.

If they fought against it, they wouldn’t be defeated unilaterally, but they couldn’t fight while protecting the family forever.

So I just watched in the dark. He hoped that the Sephira family would grow on their own and use the crisis as an opportunity to bloom and realize the existence of Ain.

But then it appeared.

Sephira’s greatest genius, Chervil.

Cherville was a child with infinite potential. The power of the void, the possibility of self-realization of Ain.

However, the Keter I saw by chance today was superior to Chervil. He was closer to the realm of ‘Ain’ than Chervil.

Keter’s archery, which uses mana to raise archery to a higher level of nothingness. It was also a milestone towards Ain.

“Keter.”

Endymion, the third to call upon Kether by name.

It is certain that Keter is a talented person who surpasses Chervil, but his expression was never bright.

Elves are a race of foresight. Although unpredictable when he wants to, appearing suddenly, and not clear when he manifests – Endymion saw the future through Kether.

‘The mansion on fire.’

Sephira’s mansion, overlooking it, was engulfed in flames.

In the garden, a group of people are looking at the burning Sephira, and at the head of the group… … .

There was Keter, who laughed wickedly.
