Chapter 118 – 115 the Ganin Plains
115 Ganin Plain
= Ouch…….=
After 30 minutes of sparring, Isilite moaned as she moistened a towel with water and wiped the sweat and dirt from her face and arms.
There is no place in the body that is not painful.
‘Wow.’
Taking off her leather armor and shirt to clean her body as well, Issilite exclaimed inwardly as she saw her body reddened like a cow.
Abdomen, pith, flanks, shoulders. I feel that there are bruises on her back as well, and when I unbuckle her and look inside her pants, I see six bruises on her thighs as well.
Because she is Dalian, she wears leather armor under her iron plate breastplate, and that’s about it.
It was Isilite who thought that if she had worn an iron breastplate, her breastplate would have been all bent.
‘Are you sure your bones are broken?’
In the meantime, Isilite, who confirmed that only her breasts were intact, lifted her soft breasts, wiped the bottom of her breasts, and peeked at her master, who was meditating while holding a pearl-colored phase stone.
‘Did he deliberately avoid the chest and hit me?’
In any case, Issilite, who experienced the master’s skills firsthand, made her heart pound. She was so throbbing that her nipples stood up against the wind.
‘There was a real difference between the sky and the ground watching from the side and facing each other.’
Isilite couldn’t understand the slightest bit as her bloodskin clan members died without being able to avoid or block their master’s attack even once.
The master’s defensive technique is truly close to divine skill. If it were the master, he would avoid or let go of any attack.
Compared to that, the attack was very mediocre. Her trajectory is clearly visible and her attack speed is slow. I wondered why I couldn’t block and avoid such an attack.
But when she saw her face to face, that thought came to her mind.
‘His own body and weapon could obstruct his vision.’
She was aiming for a gap in her field of vision when she blocked or wielded a weapon, and a long black spear approached like a snake and gave a thrilling shock. If it had been a real battle, he would have died without knowing what he was dying for.
It was Isilite who felt keenly in the sparring with Hwanin that there was an attack that could not be blocked by sight.
It is truly beyond imagination.
If you learn hard at first, you will be able to follow the master’s toes, right? I thought, but my confidence completely disappeared in the first 30 minutes of sparring.
‘I still have to work hard.’
It’s her second stroke of luck in her own 28-year-old life.
Lest her master abandon herself in disappointment, Isilite vowed to learn her craft with all her might.
After the sparring, Isilite cooked hot meat stew and beef jerky for dinner, and Hwanin took a break and called for emergency food.
“You have to learn how to fight people too.”
Que? Coo out.
“Okay. I will attack in various ways, so try to dodge and attack in your own way.”
Quet!
Isilite watched with curiosity as she sparred with her master and her emergency rations as she organized her tableware.
“If you blindly stick your head in, are you asking me to hit you in the head?”
Right!
Quet! Kwu~.
“What are you going to do if I put out a sign that I will attack from a distance and queer her with her claws?”
Tadak!
Kiek! Queek!
Paddak! Puck, papak, ttadadak!
The emergency rations, which had been hit on the head a few times, brandished their wings and flew up like chickens, clawing at them with their claws, and striking them with their beaks three times in an instant.
Watching that, Isilite was a little dazed.
‘…… Doesn’t emergency food fight better than me?’
Like himself, he is unable to avoid any of Hwanin’s attacks and gets beaten, but it is noticeable that he guides them to less painful places every time they are hit or blocks them with their beaks and claws.
Coo!
As if being hit for 20 minutes seemed to have raised the stakes, the emergency rations quickly stepped back, lowering their heads and holding their tails upright while gently shaking their tails…….
Quit!
At the same time as he stood up, he flew up into the sky like an arrow.
=And.=
The majesty of emergency rations flying so swiftly that the sound of the wind cutting was enough to draw exclamation from Isilite’s mouth.
But…….
Queet-!
Like an eagle snatching a rabbit, the emergency rations rushed down on Hwanin, but Hwanin wanted to jump on something just before the collision, and before he knew it, he grabbed the emergency rations by the neck and climbed on his back.
Quet?!
When the startled emergency rations struggled in the air, the clear sound and screams of the emergency rations echoed through the night sky.
Kww!
“Stupid boy. What are you going to do with a clear attack?”
Right!
Kiek!
Hwanin, who hit the head of the emergency ration again with the spear handle, preaches a sermon.
“If you flew up, would you rather have run away? A flying attack is only an action that is easy to counterattack because the attack point is clearly visible unless it is too fast to see.”
‘No, I think it’s only for the owner…….’
The sight of emergency food attacking her eyes was like a kite attacking a chick. Are you fighting back? Do you think your head will be blown off by your claws before that?
“If you’ve made up your mind to attack, you have to think about what’s behind you before attacking. How the opponent will come out, how they will counterattack if they attack like this.”
‘Should I think after the attack?’
Isilite stared blankly at the emergency rations fluttering in the sky like a drunken sparrow.
Tadak, right!
Kuckoo! Queeng!
The owner seems to be scolding me, and I can hear the constant crackling sound and the screaming sound of emergency rations.
Isilite, who had gained some enlightenment from Hwanin’s story, recalled that realization as she moved it around with her great sword.
The counterattack that comes after the attack, and the attack that returns the counterattack.
‘Like this? Or like this?’
Isilite, who moved her great sword for a while, sat down as soon as she landed on the ground, and laughed at the emergency rations grunting while covering her head with her wings.
Because it overlapped with the self from before.
Leaning against the side of her emergency rations, her blanket pulled up to her shoulder, Hwanin, who had closed her eyes, opened her eyes to the feeling of Isilite approaching.
She sees a meadow where the night has fallen, and a bonfire lighting up the surroundings with yellow flames.
“Is it shift time?”
=Yes, Master.=
Hwanin, who rolled up a blanket and covered the emergency food that made breathing noises, stretched lightly and sat down by the campfire.
Isilitega greets Hwanin, who fills a copper jug with water and sets it on a tripod above the bonfire, saying = Have a hard time =, then wraps herself in her blanket and crawls under Kurti’s wings.
Hwanin muttered to herself as she watched Kurti move and hug Isilite warmly even in her sleep.
‘Certainly, Que is superior to horses in many ways.’
They don’t choose what to eat, they’re strong and docile, they listen well, they can carry loads like pack horses, and they have high stamina.
On a cold night, it spreads warmth like that. The reason for this is the instinct to incubate eggs or young.
“…….”
Hwanin, who changed night watch with Isilite, inhaled a long breath of the cold grassland air.
The strong smell of grass, fishy soil, and the smell of a campfire fills the lungs and drives away sleepiness.
Looking up at the night sky, I gradually saw the moon being eaten on the left.
It was a full moon when I came out of the labyrinth a few days ago. And today, it was becoming the waning moon, and the shadow was falling on the moon from the left.
‘Is this the Southern Hemisphere?’
When they escaped the forest labyrinth, the temperature was between late summer and autumn, and about four months had passed since then.
It’s not strange that winter is here now, but although it gets a bit chilly at night, it’s not to the point where you feel cold.
‘It might be an area close to the equator.’
Hwanin, who was drinking boiled water thinking about what the land of this world would look like, became desperate for coffee.
If this was a tropical region near the equator, it would be possible to grow coffee beans, but there was no coffee culture in Wayford, Etbruk, Leheel, Yulkam, and the places I passed through.
‘Shall we look for coffee in Parchist?’
Since it is a saint, many supplies will be gathered. There might even be coffee if you look for it.
Hwanin, who was thinking about other things, felt completely awake and looked at the red bead on his left arm. These are the souls of the robbers who were collected during the day.
Hwanin summoned the soul of one of them.
“… Ah…….」
Her soul orb quickly soulizes, revealing her dog-eared naked woman. Hwanin briefly glanced at the clearly visible slender type of naked body.
‘What’s the difference between wearing clothes and taking them off?’
“Eww… Ugh……. Whoa…….」
Looking around her and ascertaining her own state, her female spirit curled up over her like a fetus and began to cry out like her ears.
Then, her appearance gradually turns hazy. It is a precursor to impotence.
‘Stop.’
She tried to stop the Buddhahood by force, but as if the Buddhahood was an unavoidable natural phenomenon, the soul left only a few small drops of light and turned into a group of pale lights and ascended to the sky.
Hwanin wasn’t disappointed because he didn’t do anything in particular hoping for results.
Hwanin, who collected the small light drop, summoned another soul.
「Quaaaaa…… ! Aaaaa…… !!」
The deer-headed man who had been cut in two by Isilite’s greatsword twisted his body and screamed in agony before beginning to resent Hwanin.
“If it weren’t for you, only you…… !”
‘Repentance is always painful.’
“It’s because of you!!”
‘Think of it that way if it makes sense.’
“This…… !”
While feeling the pain and misery of being murdered, the Inrok man, who believed that he had been ridiculed, felt his body being dragged somewhere while trying to have a demonic seizure.
‘Program.’
“What are you doing…… Aaaaa-!”
The black fox demon formed on his retina rapidly grew in size.
The human rock man felt ominous and struggled on his limbs, but his struggles were overshadowed by the black fox.
Cain-
Along with him, a black fox the size of a wolf, who was spying on the camp from about 20 meters away, screamed and jumped up.
Hwanin also stood up from his seat, holding a stone ax at his waist.
A black fox the size of a wolf writhing as if he had cerebral palsy.
The fox’s appearance was grotesque. His torso was wriggling with the limbs of the male soul of the Inrok tribe.
After a while, the limbs that sprouted from the fox’s torso went into the fox’s body, and the black fox stopped screaming and convulsing and slowly stood up.
Then he growled at Hwanin, baring his teeth.
The eyes are not yellow, but red as if blood is flowing.
‘Come to think of it, why are these soul beads red?’
All the marbles obtained with the consent of the souls in Yulkam were grayish white like normal soul marbles.
Did he turn into a red soul orb because he killed or was killed?
Que?
The noise of the fox woke him up, and the emergency food with a blanket on his back stood behind Hwanin and asked. Shall I scold you? Called.
“No. We are experimenting.”
Cadet! Aww, auggeuk. That’s it!
The fox, which made a noise that would have been like this if a person tried to speak with the fox body, after a while, began to show conspicuous hostility.
Whoa!
“Stop.”
At Hwanin’s short command, the black fox, which was about to bite its neck, stops in a dynamic posture.
Hwanin drew a cool smile on his lips at the sight of the fox rolling his red eyes.
“Sit down. Stand up turn around dance.”
Chak, burst, twirling, and dangsil.
Seeing the black fox faithfully fulfilling his orders, Hwanin naturally thought of several problems.
Is it possible to take away control of the body of the target by spreading the command with a soul with high intelligence?
Is it taken away without any conditions? Or can the result change depending on the difference in intelligence or willpower?
The skills performed by human souls were similar in power to those performed by ordinary beast souls.
Is the necromantic effect similar to such spirits?
‘I need an experiment. A little more experimentation. Until then…… I’m going to spread the program only with the spirits I can.’
I wonder if it is possible to acquire the skills that the person possessed during his or her lifetime if one were to command a person’s soul.
Skills such as swimming, climbing, and tree climbing were obtained when an animal or beast’s soul was commanded, so I wonder if the human soul is similar.
‘If the human soul is subjected to the code, problems such as memory confusion may occur.’
Hwanin spent 38 minutes sorting out what he had to do in his head, waiting for the black fox who had enchanted the souls of the human race.
「Gheuk! Turn it off, uhhh…….」
When the duration of the necromantic command ends, a hazy mist escapes from the body of the black fox and returns to its human form.
The form that was somewhat worn out is looking for its original form, but the process is painful, and the human race screams repeatedly.
And the black fox whose red light has disappeared from its eyes…….
Kaeng!
He tried to bite Hwanin’s neck again, so Hwanin didn’t blink an eyebrow and killed him by cutting off his head with a stone axe.
The next morning, while Isilite was clearing the camp, she spread a decree with her spirit orb to Kurti, who was roaming around and grazing.
Que.
Kurti notices that Hwanin has done something good for her and approaches her, rubbing her face to show her closeness.
Que said that she likes it when I stroke her, and I tried to give her instructions like this and that with her force…….
‘It doesn’t work.’
She spread the code to Isilite as well, but her orders mixed with her coercion were not obeyed.
=Oh, you don’t have to bless me to organize it…… Thank you=
“Well.”
Does coercion work only if you have the intelligence to understand words? But the spirit could speak, so why not?
Because it’s a spirit, it doesn’t work under coercion? If so, is the spirit approaching and offering mere good intentions?
There are still 11 Robber’s Soul Orbs left.
The Humanok Tribe, who descended to the beast yesterday, did not reach Buddhahood even after the decree, but after piercing six holes in their bodies with soul arrows, they calmed down, and within a few minutes they sobbed and reached Buddhahood.
I wanted to try this on people and explore the reaction, but I was a hwanin who shed a sigh of regret because the conditions were not right.
= Master. Preparations for departure are complete.=
“Okay. Emergency food, come down.”
Coo~!
The emergency food, which was fully equipped and enjoyed the morning flight, flies quickly like a hawk at the call of Hwanin, spreads its wings, and lands.
“I wish you well today.”
I climbed on the back of such emergency rations and stroked the nape of the neck, so the emergency rations are also good~! He screamed loudly and ran forward.
=Let’s go too.=
Isilite also moved Kurti to follow him, trying hard to suppress her beating heart.
When she is blessed right before the battle, she feels a sense of exhilaration, strength all over her body, and the confidence that she can fight any monster wells up.
However, I was blessed in an ordinary situation like now…….
‘I think that place is whining…….’
It seems that the surplus power that cannot be discharged and released, and the sense of exaltation that makes the body hot, circulates in the body and turns into sexual desire.
Like when you are excited while thinking dirty thoughts alone, the feeling of blood rushing to it and becoming sensitive.
As the place in contact with the slightly shaking saddle continues to be stimulated, a tingling sensation rises up the boat.
Turduk.
= Wh…….=
The moment Kurti jumped over her pit, and the mound hit her saddle, Issilite felt a light pleasure, as if she had reached a climax from masturbation.
Suddenly, Isilite felt something pouring out of her, so Isilite gripped the reins tightly and screamed inside her.
‘I must be crazy! Why did you suddenly go into heat?!’
She had no way of knowing that it was due to the blood flow accelerating effect of the code, and even after the 38 minutes of the code effect, she was possessed by her lewd demon and had to fight her lust silently for a while.
The fifth day since leaving Wayford. Hwanin faced a fork in the road.
A straight road and a road extending at right angles from there.
I looked around, but all I could see was a vast meadow, nothing that could be a geographical marker.
Even though there is a map, there is no way that there is such a small location mark in the picture drawn with only rough lines.
Most maps of this era are like this.
Villages and villages are mostly missing, and sometimes only large or important cities are marked on the map, even for mid-tier cities.
However, among the various knowledge gained in Wayford, there was information on the location of nearby villages and villages.
Hwanin unfolded a map with such information written on it.
Here, along the road to the southwest…….
“…… The village of Maestig, nestled near the jungle, will appear.”
= I heard that there is nothing to see there. How about passing by and going straight to Carton Village?=
“No. I am going to the village.”
=Yes.=
Hwanin’s decision didn’t make Isilite disapprove, and she immediately changed her direction. But perhaps because she was curious, she glanced at Hwanin’s complexion and cautiously asked.
=What are you going to Maestig Village for?=
“First of all, I am also a soul.”
= Ah…… !=
God, how could I forget that?!
Isilite grabbed her cheek in embarrassment and blamed herself by pulling her cheeks, but Hwanin didn’t care and was calculating the schedule.
‘Thanks to the emergency food, the distance traveled was significantly shortened. 8 hours a day, you can travel 100km…….’
You should be able to reach the village of Maestig in a day and a half, stay there for two days, and return in five days.
It takes two days from this place to the village of Carton, and even if you stay in Carton for three days, it is eight days from Carton to Farkhest.
‘The grand festival tournament starts in two months, so I’ll be able to arrive in about 42 days.’
42 days would be plenty of time to explore one of the five labyrinths of Farkhist.
“Let’s go.”
=Yes!=
Hwanin and Isilite set out on the road to Maestig Village.
