Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 171

 

Chapter 171: Shadow in the Sky



Walking in the deserted land


"Walk quickly!"


Pus spills from my wrists bound with rope


A man on a horse pulls the rope


I'm made to walk all the way without eating or drinking.


"Who told you to stop!"


A man in another row cracks his whip


At the end of the whip, an old, emaciated man was lying on the ground.


"Oi, he's not going to make it."


And the old man, unable to resist, is stabbed to death with a sword.


Should I just get killed here too...


The piercing heat of the sun.


The ground heated by it


Burning our feet where no shoes are allowed.


For a moment I see a shadow


I look at the sky


It's the shadow of a bird in flight.


"…………Envious."


I envied its free wings. I envied it.


I wanted freedom.


"Don't get distracted! Hurry up and walk!"


The rope was pulled with such force that my arm was in extreme pain


I couldn't stand the pain. I closed my eyes


"Geuh!"


The man pulling my arm made a strange noise.


The pain subsides, and I open my eyes.


There it was


A horse with its torso cut in two


Things that can be slightly recognized as people


And a greatsword that created it


It was someone in a black cloak


Where did it come from?


I knew the answer immediately.


A bird comes down from the sky.


A big bird.


No, it wasn't.


It was a flying dragon


"Attack!"


Cloth flies from the ground.


More people came from under it.


People with ropes are freed one by one.


"You! You coward!"


There was a man covered in metal.


Swinging a huge war hammer


He attacked the black cloak.


It caught the hammer with its great sword


And thrust it through his armor with the sword he had drawn from his waist.


That day


We were free.


But at the same time


We also had the duty to think
