A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 102: (1)

The owner of the shout was the heavily armored knights who were currently smashing through the ranks of the Armis Army.

While Kaiyan had kept the knights busy, they had managed to break through the Armis Army and make it this far.

‘This changes the story…!’

“Th-this way! Protect Lord Armis!”

“The Lord’s safety is our top priority! Everyone, protect Lord Armis!”

The heavily armored soldiers startled the knights, who were about to rush towards Count Armis. However, Kaiyan swiftly leaped in front of them, blocking their path.

“No one gets to him until they go through me!”

“You there! Move aside!”

“The knights should ignore him and protect Lord Armis! This guy is my responsibility!”

“Yes!”

Two senior knights approached with their swords drawn, and in the meantime, the other knights tried to rush towards Count Armis. But…

“I told you this won’t work! Arua Enhancement!”

Kaiyan used the Aura Enhancement skill he had saved up, infusing the momentarily increased Aura into his sword and launching it. A much larger chunk of Aura flew rapidly towards the knights compared to when he had dealt with the magicians earlier.

Kwaaaaah!

An ear-piercing, tremendous explosion.

Kaiyan had anticipated it to some extent, but the destruction was truly unimaginable.

“Kraaaah!”

“My arm! Someone please help me?!”

Thanks to the explosion caused by the Aura, the damage was beyond imagination. Moreover, the knights were in a state of extreme carelessness, likely because they had trusted the two senior knights.

As Kaiyan watched their careless actions with a smile on his lips, the two knights who had been attacking him with their swords suddenly had their faces twisted with anger and charged at him.

“You bastard! How dare you!”

“Who do you think you are, challenging us with Aura Swing like this?”

‘Aura swing?’

Kaiyan wanted to ask if they just called the technique he had used “Aura swing,” but for now, he needed to focus on blocking their attacks.

“Huup! Haaap!”

Lowering his body and extending his sword forward, Kaiyan ignored their attacks and stretched his sword forward. The bewildered knights quickly tried to adjust the direction of their swords to block His.

Kwaddduk!

“Ugh!”

‘I can’t rely on my eyes to judge their attacks.’

Even though they pretended to charge excitedly, these were senior knights. They might be able to deceive Kaiyan’s eyes, but they couldn’t fool his senses. If he had blocked their attacks as they had aimed without extending his sword earlier, he would have been in danger from the subsequent rapid attacks.

“Lambis! It won’t work! You protect Lord Armis!”

“Understood!”

The knights glanced at the mess that had been made of their fellow knights and decided it wouldn’t work. The one called Lambis looked at Kaiyan briefly and slowly moved aside.

Whether Kaiyan had to stop that guy by force or not, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he saw the Vyraxar Knights slaughtering soldiers as they approached this location from the direction he was looking at.

Given Vyraxar Knights’ speed, it would take them several minutes to reach this place.

‘Let one of them go.’

While keeping an eye on Lambis, Kaiyan observed the remaining knight. In the meantime, Lambis dashed toward Count Armis like the wind, and the remaining knight seemed to be trying to distract Kaiyan.

“Kraaaah!”

He couldn’t evade Kaiyan’s attack this time, as he had overextended himself to attract attention. Struck directly, he staggered back in shock, a few steps away.

Although he might not realize it, Kaiyan’s Aura enhancement wasn’t completed yet.

“Grrr! You really are like a monster! You’ve become even stronger than before…! Are you sure you’re human?”

“I am human, you Bastard! Powerful Downward Strike!”

“Ugh! Take this!”

With a tense expression, he raised his sword with all his might and swung it toward Kaiyan’s Sword.

Swoosh! Crack!

The sword developed a crack upon impact, and the blade shattered into pieces. Undeterred, Kaiyan swung his sword toward the bewildered opponent’s face.

“This… can’t be…”

Fwoosh!

Ding! [You have leveled up.]

As the shattered sword and the staggered opponent fell, the level-up notification rang out, and both his nearly depleted Aura and health were fully restored.

“Phew… That was close.”

Exhaling heavily, he looked ahead and saw that the Armis knights were rushing toward him through the gap in the soldiers.

It was an incredibly close call. If he had been even slightly delayed, the Vyraxar knights would have witnessed him killing a senior knight.

“First, let’s get out of here.”

While they might find it odd to see the fallen Armis knights amid casualties here, that was a problem for later. Moreover, there were only Armis knights and Count Armis who knew his identity.

They knew his face but not who he was. They probably just thought he was a knight from the Vyraxar family.

“Now, let’s get out of here.”

Bending down and running toward the heavy infantry, he scanned the battlefield to find Linda.

“Where’s… Anton?”

After a brief pause and straightening his posture, Anton was seen among the heavy infantry. If Anton was there, it meant Linda was there as well.

Once he finished his thoughts, he lowered his body again and approached them. Through the crowd, he spotted Linda, a small figure among the soldiers.

“I was worried, but she’s doing well.”

Despite her young age, Linda wore a determined expression as she commanded the soldiers on the battlefield.

Who would think of her as less than ten years old when they saw her? Or would they believe that she grew up far from aristocratic life?

“Are nobles really just nobles?”

She was different from Tarian, who used to whine on the battlefield.

Or maybe she was overexerting herself to overcome the grief of losing her entire family in an instant.

“Linda.”

“Ah! Brother Kaiyan!”

Calling out to Linda and running closer, Linda smiled at him.

“Whoa, aren’t you hurt? Are you okay, brother?”

“I’m fine. I just got a few scratches while wandering around.”

All his wounds had been healed through leveling up, but Linda, who didn’t know that, seemed worried as she noticed Kaiyan’s clothes and armor torn and stained with blood.

“At times like this, she really doesn’t seem like a noble kid.”

“Sorry… it’s because of me. And thank you.”

“I will be fine. It’s not your fault,” Kaiyan reassured Linda.
