The Count's Gun-Shooting Scoundrel-Chapter 61

With a tremendous roar, Linda was sent flying into the air before crashing down onto the ground.
“Cough—.”
She coughed up a mouthful of blood, seemingly having sustained internal injuries.
Blizan watched her silently, then asked Alteon, “Your wrist?”
“It’s manageable.”
“I’ll handle this side; you take care of those mongrels.”
“Understood.”
Alteon sprang up and ran toward the Giant Wolves, savagely swinging his massive mace.
Thwack!
Thump-thwack!
The wolves yelped and howled like dogs.
Bukas shouted at the Lannister Knights.
“Kill them all!”
The Apos Mercenaries charged forward relentlessly, their eyes gleaming with killing intent.
Not to be outdone, the Lannister Knights shouted back.
“Throwing Spears!”
They immediately formed a wedge formation and engaged in battle.
“Aargh!”
“Die!”
“Ugh!”
A storm of blood raged, turning the battlefield into a pandemonium.
With the help of her comrades, Linda managed to buy herself a moment.
Clutching her side, she struggled to her feet.
Her ribs throbbed with every movement.
‘Damn it!’
She glared at Blizan with furious eyes.
Wrapped in a bear pelt like a cloak, his entire body armed with bulging muscles, he resembled a monster.
The sheer pressure emanating from him was enough to make her cower.
A formidable opponent!
She instantly realized he was not someone she could face alone.
‘And big brother isn’t even here...’
Linda’s face twisted in anguish.
As Blizan toyed with his fist and approached her, someone darted forward like an arrow.
Dark dove into Blizan’s chest, brandishing a dagger.
Swish! Slash!
The speed was so great it sounded like the wind was being torn apart.
In response, Blizan threw a punch.
Thwack! Thwack!
He easily parried the dagger and counter-attacked with a kick.
Dark nimbly dodged and thrust his dagger even faster.
Just as the dagger was about to embed itself in his chest!
“...!”
Dark’s eyes widened.
Blizan had caught the dagger with his bare hand.
“What, how could he...”
“Still a greenhorn.”
He pulled the dagger.
As Dark was yanked forward, Blizan mercilessly slammed his fist into Dark’s face.
Thud!
Dark was sent flying backward, hitting a tree before collapsing to the ground.
He lay motionless, as if dead.
“Dark!”
“You bastard!”
Mulan charged, swinging the massive bastard sword in both hands.
But it was all blocked by Blizan’s fists.
Thud!
“Cough—.”
Mulan, having been slammed by Blizan’s shoulder, was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.
Following this, Porshe, Ramni, and Peri launched a coordinated attack, and Latale also unleashed a full-powered strike.
Swords rained down on Blizan from all directions.
But he blocked them too easily and even counter-attacked.
Thwack! Thump-thwack!
“Aargh!”
“Ugh!”
Porshe and Latale collapsed powerlessly from his attacks.
They had always prided themselves on their resilience, having trained with Arthur.
But Blizan shattered their confidence in a single blow. The immense power instinctively terrified them, stiffening their entire bodies.
“Weak.”
Just as Blizan showed a disappointed expression.
“Take this!”
Hellot charged, swinging his mace.
Blizan, despite his massive size, moved nimbly to dodge and stood before him.
Thump!
He clamped his pot-lid-sized hand around Hellot’s neck.
“Cough! Ugh...”
Hellot’s face turned pale.
“They’re all so weak. Are the strong ones all at the main camp?”
“Sh-shut... up!”
Hellot swung his mace with all his might.
Clang!
Even this attack was blocked by Blizan’s hand.
“Sneaky tricks won’t work on me.”
Just as he was about to lift Hellot and slam him to the ground.
“...!”
Blizan’s eyes flashed.
He instantly threw Hellot and unleashed a punch.
Bang!
Thud!
He parried the incoming Aura and stared forward with cold eyes.
In the distance, a crimson sun was slowly appearing over the mountain ridge.
As the surroundings brightened, someone was seen charging furiously on a massive horse.
It was a man in golden armor.
In his hand was a strange weapon he had never seen before.
“An interesting fellow has appeared.”
‘Damn it!’
Arthur confirmed that Dark and all the members of the Devil’s Corps were down.
More importantly, the men who appeared to be Apos Mercenaries were not cowering from the Giant Wolves but rather pressuring and defeating them.
Over ten wolves had already fallen to them!
‘If only I had arrived a little sooner...’
Anger surged within him.
The vanished golden Aura began to flare up again.
Arthur charged at Blizan.
As if Arthur’s rage had been conveyed to Khan, the horse ruthlessly charged through those who blocked its path, clearing a way.
“Aargh!”
“Save me!”
“What! What kind of horse is this big!”
Alteon, who was pressuring the Giant Wolves, stopped what he was doing and looked aside as the surroundings grew noisy.
“That’s!”
His eyes widened.
It was a Britanniker, a horse he had always wanted to ride.
As something thought to be extinct appeared before his eyes, greed flared within him.
“That one is mine.”
Alteon quickly chased after Khan.
Blizan, who had initially thought it was just a giant horse, also recognized it as a Britanniker.
‘A man riding a monster...’
He was no ordinary opponent.
Instinctively, Blizan felt that this was someone he would have to face with his best.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a good warm-up.”
He raised both fists to shoulder height and took a fighting stance.
An Aura Blade flew towards him.
It was as fast as lightning.
Rather than trying to follow it with his eyes, he relied on his senses.
The moment he caught the intense pressure!
He unleashed a punch like lightning.
Bang!
Thud!
He parried the Aura and charged at Arthur.
‘He parried it again.’
Arthur also felt that Blizan was no ordinary foe.
Moreover, seeing him parry Aura with his bare fists, he seemed skilled in unarmed combat.
“Then how about this?”
His Sig Sauer transformed into a K1 rifle.
“...!”
Blizan’s eyes widened.
This time, it wasn’t just one Aura, but over ten that flew towards him.
Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
“Damn it!”
He swiftly flung his body sideways.
He seemed to have barely dodged the attack, but the enemy fired Aura at the spot he had just moved to.
“What the hell is this!”
Blizan’s face contorted as he frantically moved back and forth, dodging the Aura.
But who was Arthur?
A veteran among veterans! Blizan was practically in his hands.
Arthur continuously predicted Blizan’s movements and unleashed attacks.
Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
‘What is this! His Mana should have run out by now?’
As he frantically dodged attacks, he found himself in a spot where his back and left were blocked by trees.
“Damn it!”
Blizan realized he had been played according to Arthur’s plan.
He clenched his fists, glaring at Khan, who was slowly approaching, and Arthur, who rode him.
Arthur, without a moment’s hesitation, aimed for Blizan’s leg.
Tat-tat-tat-tat!
Blizan swiftly flung his body sideways like lightning, but he couldn’t dodge them all.
An Aura embedded itself in his left calf.
“Damn it!”
Blizan lost his balance and fell with a thud.
One of the Apos Mercenaries witnessed the sight.
“Commander!”
“What?!”
The attention of the mercenaries, who were fighting the Lannister Knights and Giant Wolves, was drawn to him.
Alteon, who was charging towards Khan, shouted like a thunderbolt.
“You fiend!”
He swung his massive mace with all his might at Arthur.
Khan quickly turned sideways, parried the mace with his hind leg, and also struck.
Thump-thwack!
“Cough!”
Alteon was sent flying backward into the air.
Thud!
As both the Commander and Vice-Commander fell to the enemy, the Apos Mercenaries were aghast.
“Th-this can’t be...”
“It’s impossible...”
Suddenly, the momentum of the Apos Mercenaries rapidly dwindled, and everyone was at a loss.
“I see.”
Arthur noticed that they were excessively clustered around the fallen man before them.
With his extensive war experience, he instantly thought of a simple way to end the situation.
He curled the corners of his lips and leaped off Khan.
Then, he put away his K1 and charged at Blizan.
Blizan, who was struggling to get up, felt rage surge when Arthur charged at him unarmed.
“You’d face me without a weapon?”
His face twisted in utter fury.
He possessed monstrous strength, enough to fell an Orc warrior in a single blow.
No one had ever dared to challenge him bare-handed.
It was his pride and honor.
Yet, this man had challenged his authority.
Although his left calf was injured, it wasn't enough to prevent him from fighting.
If the strange weapon continued to attack, it would be a difficult fight, but bare-handed, he was confident.
“You will pay a terrible price.”
He unleashed a powerful punch at Arthur.
Crackle—.
Lightning surged through his fist, and an invisible Aura flew forward.
“...!”
Arthur’s eyes flashed, and he flung his body sideways.
Bang!
The tree behind him shattered as if a cannonball had hit it.
The power was tremendous.
Blizan swiftly punched in the 11 o’clock direction where Arthur had just moved.
Slash!
The air tore with a sound, and another invisible Aura flew.
This time, Arthur easily dodged and continued to charge.
When the distance between them narrowed to 5 meters!
Blizan’s eyes flashed sharply like a hawk’s, and he unleashed a lightning-fast hook and a straight.
Slash!
His fists cut through the empty air.
In that instant, Arthur swiftly dove into Blizan’s chest and struck his side.
Thud!
With a dull sound, a heavy impact resonated through his fist.
But instead of falling, the man brought his fist down towards Arthur’s head.
Arthur quickly turned sideways to dodge and struck his side again.
Thud!
This time too, there was no reaction.
‘It feels like I’m hitting an iron wall.’
As both attacks failed, Arthur quickly retreated, creating distance between them.
Blizan watched him calmly, not counter-attacking.
“What is your relationship with the House of Count Julius?”
“You don’t need to know.”
“Judging by the crest on your armor, you seem to be a Young Master of a Count’s family. But with this level of skill, you wouldn’t have been able to defeat Count Yarve, would you?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just getting started.”
Arthur raised his Mana.
An intense pressure exploded, and a golden Aura blazed like fire.
‘What?’
Blizan’s face hardened.
The pressure was incomparably stronger than before.
Arthur charged at Blizan and unleashed a punch.
The fist flew with a ‘Bang!’ sound.
It was as fast as lightning.
“...!”
It was an attack that couldn't be followed with the eyes.
Thwack!
Blizan’s head snapped back, and he sprayed blood into the air.
Following this, Arthur’s fist embedded itself in his side.
Thud!
“Cough—.”
Blizan spat out a mouthful of blood.
But he grimaced and counter-attacked by swinging his fist.
Arthur dodged sideways, simultaneously snatching his arm, and slammed him directly to the ground.
Thump!
“...!”
The Apos Mercenaries wore expressions of despair.
Bukas shouted until his voice broke.
“Commander—!”
Alteon also painfully propped up his upper body and murmured softly.
“Commander...”
“Ugh...”
Blizan gritted his teeth and stood up.
Then, he glared at Arthur with fierce, murderous eyes.
“KRAAAAH!”
He let out a monstrous roar, expanding his chest as if awakening a dormant power within him.
An enormous surge of power erupted from him.
But Arthur didn’t even blink, merely wiggling his finger to provoke him.
“I’ll tear you limb from limb and kill you!”
He charged at Arthur.
His movements became significantly faster.
He instantly closed the distance and unleashed a punch.
Bang!
A powerful attack, imbued with immense force, flew at Arthur.
“How laughable.”
Arthur dodged the punch by a hair’s breadth, simultaneously poking Blizan’s armpit with his fingertips.
“Aargh!”
Blizan screamed loudly.
Yet, he counter-attacked with an elbow strike from his other arm.
Arthur blocked this attack with his hand, then kicked the opponent’s hamstrings with his foot.
After that, he delivered a lightning-fast spinning back kick to Blizan’s jaw.
Thud!
“Cough!”
Blizan’s head snapped upward, and he sprayed blood.
He was about to fall backward, but he stomped his foot hard, bracing himself.
His eyes, now bloodshot and crimson, he radiated a ferocious killing intent as he charged at Arthur.
His intention was to send Arthur flying with his massive shoulder.
“Do you think such an attack will work?”
Arthur scoffed dismissively, simultaneously charging back at him.
“Foolish bastard.”
Blizan drew upon all his strength.
Arthur also drew upon all his strength, gathering it in his shoulder.
The golden light blazed like fire as he slammed directly into Blizan.
Clang!
With a loud impact, someone was sent flying.
“...!”
Everyone present’s jaws dropped open.
‘What in the...’
‘This can’t be real...’
‘Who exactly is he?’
By all appearances, Arthur should have been the one sent flying, but the result defied expectations.
Blizan had been outmatched in strength.
He was sent flying nearly 10 meters through the air.
Blizan himself wore an even more astonished expression than the others.
He was more shocked by the fact that he had been outmatched in strength than by the bone-piercing pain.
‘I, I was outmatched in strength...’
He stared at Arthur, his mind blank.
Arthur approached Blizan and drew a dagger from his lower back. Just as he held the blade to Blizan’s neck.
Bukas shouted.
“Think of your family!”
The moment those words fell, Blizan’s demeanor drastically changed.
“My wife and children...”
Blizan sprang up and unleashed a punch at Arthur.
Bang!
A terrifying gust of wind erupted, and powerful lightning entwined around his fist.
Zzzzzzzzt—!
