chapter 2

The feeling of pulsing blood vessels could be clearly felt at my fingertips.

I made eye contact with the magic archer I just killed with my own hands.

There was no guilt for the first murder I just committed. No, I didn’t even feel it.

‘Because I only killed him so I could live.’

“What, what’s wrong with him? It can’t be blinking, right?”

The leader-class warrior shouted when he saw Baek Yu-Seol’s quick movements.

“He’s using unusual movements! Hurry up and kill him!”

My blink’s cooldown had not returned yet. I turned the archer’s body and pushed it away with a kick

Pushuuk!

“Uhhhh”

A fountain of blood gushed out from the body and obstructed the sight of the men approaching me, and one even fell down on the body.

I rolled on the floor holding the arrow from the archer in my hand and used blinking toward the tree branch located diagonally above.

Turk!

“Ugghhh”

It was my first time using an upward blink; thus, the distance adjustment was confusing at the first. I couldn’t place my foot properly and slipped.

I barely grasped the branch with one hand and gave it all my strength, surprisingly, my hard shoulders and back muscles lifted me up the tree at will.

Without a moment to tie the strings to the bow, I quickly hid behind the wooden post, and a lump of flames flew and set off.

Pugh!!

The small explosion ripped through the top of the tree, but the fire did not blow properly.

Maybe it was because of the snow, but the tree was moist.

Squeak–

I hung an arrow on a string, used blink with a branch on the opposite side, and turned the aim to shoot the arrow at the back of a sloppy spearman, who was chasing my afterimage.

“Aww! My feet, whoa!”

‘Did I miss it?’

The aim was slightly off, and it ended up hitting the spearman’s foot.

Although arrows in this world had some degree of ‘aim guidance’ magic on them, I still missed them because I had never used an arrow in my life before.

Luckily, I was able to hit the feet.

‘Nevertheless, I made him unable to move, moving on to the next.’

Whoops! A ball of flame came flying toward me again, but I jumped off the tree without any regrets.

“I, I…!”

Still, it was quite high, thus a dangerous situation that could break a bone if I fell by mistake.

The guy standing in the position where I fell raised his arms in anticipation of the impact with me, but I thrust the knife into the gap between his arms.

Too much! The immediate loud noise meant I had collided with him rather than stabbing him with a knife, so I forced myself to face the front before falling to the ground and immediately used blink.

One of the special features of blinking.

That the momentum immediately prior to using blinking is conserved.
