Benhamin took a step and thrust his sword deeply. As the blade twisted, the Basilisk’s neck was cleanly cut off. Benhamin twisted the blade to withdraw it.
“Did you find the heart of the nest?”
“It’s deep inside.”
Roskella pointed to the path blocked by vines.
“That way.”
“Even the nest is twisted in a place like this.”
When Benhamin split the path blocked by vines with his sword, a mournful cry echoed through the suppression front. In response to this cry, a horde of Basilisks writhed.
Their nests, in other words, the lairs of the monsters, were correct.
Squelch.
Squelch.
The dying Basilisk twisted its body and tore into the body of a low-ranking mercenary.
“Damn it!”
He’s dying. Really dying!
Soon, a heavy boot flew in. Mud splattered, and the mercenary hastily rolled his body. Pedelin slashed the Basilisk’s neck, kicked it away with his boot, and grabbed the mercenary who was about to die, shouting.
“If you want to die, stick your nose in stagnant water and die! If you want me to kill you, ask me to do it! If you think you can swing your sword and protect the area, protect the path from outside, and make sure not a single mouse squeaks.”
“I will thoroughly block it from the outside.”
The emperor disappeared, saying he would subdue the monster’s nest.
Soon, Pedelin approached and asked, “Did he go alone?”
“Yes. It’s always been like that.”
“It’s always been like that, but aren’t you worried?”
Pedelin let out a faint sigh.
“Your Majesty worried about walking alone.”
“……. ”
“You walk alone just like him.”
After Benhamin left.
The mercenary unit drew their swords and shouted fiercely.
“Do not send a single rat behind His Majesty!”
“Cut their throats and protect the path!”
“The tribe that disrupted the taboo steps on the land and corrects the order of the empire, so raise your swords to punish them!”
The Basilisk flashed its fangs and spewed venom.
“Cut their bodies and comfort the souls of the dead mercenaries! Below us is the harbor. These are the souls who sacrificed their lives to protect Pofuta. Raise your swords so that the deaths of the warriors are not in vain!”
The mercenary unit’s suppression operation became increasingly fierce.
‘Why did he shoulder such a big burden on those shoulders?’
Pedelin split the Basilisk’s body, hung the greatsword on his shoulder, and said, “To the one standing alone, walking alone.”
The emperor pierced the monster’s nest.
The thorny vines of the monster’s nest extended, blocking the intruder.
The emperor silently wielded his sword, cutting through the vines.
The hand holding the hilt was firm.
The blade opened the emperor’s path.
The reason the emperor personally joined the suppression front was due to this outstanding excellence.
“That blade stands against them.”
The emperor’s steps stand against them.
‘Assassin was a more fitting title.’
How many monsters died by that merciless blade?
With a dense scent of blood clinging to him, he became the assassin on the battlefield.
It wasn’t like that from the beginning.
On the contrary, his childhood was quiet.
As the emperor fought against monsters, his swordsmanship changed to be more direct and destructive, following the suppression system. It was as if he had melted into the suppression front.
As the emperor entered adulthood, that aspect was magnified.
It also helped in seizing imperial power.
He who held the sword is indeed an assassin.
The blade is fierce and destructive, and the swordsmanship becomes sharper and sharper.
Bang!
A loud noise echoed from inside.
There was no need to exchange words.
Shouldn’t we avoid mixing monsters and horses?
“……. ”
Benhamin dressed the sword with the scabbard and struck it down. The Basilisk twisted its body and surrounded the intruder.
The Basilisk’s nest had already collapsed, and the creature intended to kill the intruder to use them as nutrients for its offspring.
It was ominous.
The monster’s nest was buried in fog, and the venom emitted by the creature mixed with the mist.
Benhamin placed a cloth over his nose in the stuffy air.
Even when breathing through the venom, he had to protect his body with the scabbard.
As Benhamin swung the sword, the creature twisted its body and spat venom. From the torn wounds, dried bloodstains oozed.
“You also seem tough.”
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Benhamin muttered. Although it would be efficient to cut off the creature’s head to kill it, the creature stood its torso upright, making it difficult to reach.
‘Tall.’
The creature flashed its fangs and spewed venom to kill the intruder.
According to the law of survival of the fittest, the leader was wary of things beyond its strength.
Crack
Benhamin tore off the creature’s tail.
Every time the creature’s tail was cut off, it knew to lower its body and attack.
As he hammered away at the Basilisk’s scales with his blade, the suppression of the nest was almost complete.
The blade sank deeply into the creature’s torso. The Basilisk, with its scales torn, writhed, and its nest collapsed.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
