Chapter 323 – 317 Krabin, the Village Next to the Forest
※R18+ Beware of gore descriptions※
= Shahen. I’ll be back after serving the Spirit Master, so be vigilant until then.
=Uhhh.=
Raviola, who came inside her barrier, instructed her brother to be strictly vigilant and guided her party into the village.
=…….=
Crossing the nearly empty market, he glanced at the complexion of Hwanin who was following him.
Since he is a high-ranking spirit master, it is natural to have him as a precious guest in our house, the village’s leading family.
It’s true, but usually soul priests tend to refuse entertainment. I’m worried that if I guide her to the mansion, she’ll take it as entertainment and be offended.
Besides, she doesn’t even have a mother to greet VIPs now, so she has to do it herself, but she honestly doesn’t have the confidence to entertain VIPs as skillfully as her mother.
In particular, Raviola, who had felt her heart tighten at the sudden glimpse of her phantom in front of the barricade, did not want to make a mistake again and make her spirit master uncomfortable.
‘Okay, let’s ask. If it’s inconvenient, I’ll guide you to the outbuilding of the village inn, and if it’s okay, I’ll take you home.’
When Raviola was determined to open her demonic mouth, her Hwanin opened her mouth first.
“The atmosphere in the village is stagnant.”
Hwanin, who entered the village with Raviola’s guidance, could feel a deep sense of defeat enveloping her village.
Anxiety and fear, fear and anger seen on the faces of people sparsely coming and going on the road.
And a large number of souls that can only be seen by Hwanin’s eyes.
Hwanin had doubts about the fact that only men felt a lot of anxiety due to displeasure and anger, but he soon understood.
It is natural for Luke and a man with a strong sense of territory to show his anger at the fact that his place of residence was attacked.
I understand that you feel anxious about being attacked by Lee Hyeong-jong because you have no strength. The discomfort must have come from the parasitic tentacle frog laying eggs inside the woman’s body.
Perhaps that is why the male to female ratio of souls is unique.
Most of the souls are male and few are female. In addition, the male souls also show extreme mental pain and anger.
Only the number of such souls was witnessed by 30 people walking down the street.
‘Is the parasitic tentacle toad dragging away only the woman and killing the man on the spot?’
Raviola, who was momentarily taken aback by Hwanin’s question pointing out the state of the village, answered with her cat’s ears laid back in a stunned look.
=…… Whoa. I think you must have guessed because the spirit master also came and slain a lot of frogs. If you go about 20km northwest of the village, you will see Goddess Mountain.=
A place called Goddess Mountain because of the legend that a long time ago, a wounded goddess came down from the sky and lay down on the earth in exhaustion and turned into a mountain.
There is an open labyrinth at the foot of the mountain, and the story that the village is suffering great damage due to parasitic tentacle toads flowing out of it flows from Raviola’s mouth.
“We also confirmed the existence of the labyrinth. The area around the village was surrounded by parasitic tentacle toads, and if the labyrinth was opened nearby, it would be a very serious situation. Didn’t you ask for help from the outside?”
In terms of the age of the earth, are we now in our mid-20s? Raviola made her eyes shake slightly, then lowered her head slightly.
= She did, but because of the damn frog…….=
Hwanin felt that all of Raviola’s emotions were concentrated in the word “Fuck frog” That she had been spitting out earlier with her face not matching her swear words.
“Is there any other reason than for a parasitic toad strain to abduct women and use them as nurseries?”
At Hwanin’s remarks, his women shook their shoulders and trembled.
Even though it is a heterogeneous species of reptiles and frogs that reproduce in large numbers, it is understandable why they are flocking in an abnormally large number if that is the case.
By using women as seedbeds to breed and eat them to secure nutrients and grow rapidly.
=Ah, was that the reason why you needed a physical examination earlier?=
Anne asked with her horrified expression, and Raviola nodded her head with her dark face. Yurupa muttered that she understood now.
=Somehow, there was a projection similar to the genitals attached to the inside of the snout, so I doubted what it was, but it must have been for that purpose. After paralyzing the woman with the tentacles and inserting them into her mouth, he stabbed them into the woman’s stomach with the protuberances on the inside…….=
= Ugh. Yul unni, I can imagine it, so don’t explain in detail.=
=Sorry.=
= Right…… Ok Damn frogs grab women with their tentacles and kidnap them every time they attack. And they reproduce by hatching eggs inside their bodies. Since they are from outside, they are hiding what happened and fear that a monster will appear in the village…… I’m sorry.=
I told her not to, but in the end Anne groaned and frowned at her explaining Raviola.
Yurpa shows understanding to Raviola with a grim face.
= Well, I understand you, lady. In this situation, all arrogance would be suspicious.=
=Thank you for understanding…….=
=But how did you find out about that?=
=… It was really thanks to her saving a female patrol who was being caught by chance. =
When I got it, her leather armor was almost corroded, her breasts and lower body were exposed, and her stomach was swollen like she was pregnant, and it was wriggling as if something was moving inside her breasts.
People froze at the terrible sight.
While the people were frozen, the woman who came to her senses screamed at her body condition and then slammed her stomach and chest. I died of shock when I witnessed the monster tadpoles spilling out as if my eyes were about to tear.
After hearing the story, Hwanin’s women were shocked and speechless.
Raviola, who was depressed, ah, this is not it. After she came to her senses, she answered Hwanin’s question.
=I used several methods and sent people out a few times to ask for help from the outside. But looking at the lack of contact so far…… I think everything has failed. More than any other reason, he or she has too many damn frogs…….=
Hwanin, who was silent for a while, asked Raviola a few more questions.
How did she get the information about the labyrinth, when did the parasitic tentacle toads start to appear, when did she receive the attack, and what kind of help did she seek from the outside?
So many questions came pouring in at once that Raviola answered them one by one with her floundering.
=I felt a strange change two months ago when the women went missing one by one. When the fifth missing woman was found, the village apostle and her mother patrolled the perimeter of the village with the rangers.
Then Raviola, who said that she found out that there was an open labyrinth, put on a gloomy expression.
=In exchange for that information, Sado and my mother never came back. As soon as her open labyrinth was identified, she called to Prabur for help with a crystal ball, but she said that because that was five weeks ago…… Damn frogs come in once every four or three days, and they’re getting more and more. In every battle, men are killed and women are taken away…….=
= It’s been 5 weeks and you still haven’t received any support?! Didn’t you try to contact me again to fix the communication?=
When Anne asked, bewildered, Raviola answered in a weak voice, as if she didn’t have the strength to be angry.
= It was the last time I wrote it at that time. She didn’t have any extras, so she put in an urgent request for help, so she waited, saying that it would come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow…….=
That said, 5 weeks had passed.
As a result of continuing to move while talking, Hwanin arrived at Raviola’s small mansion.
Raviola’s house was a mansion with three warehouses, two barns, and an outbuilding located in the center of the village, and was the largest in the village in terms of size.
She must have been able to raise her child as a mystic because she was this rich.
Hwanin confirmed that there were no guests staying at the mansion, and accepted Raviola’s subtle invitation to stay in the mansion’s annex.
=You can stay in the main building, but that would be more comfortable.=
“No. It’s more comfortable for us this way, where people’s eyes don’t reach. Rather…….”
Hwanin and his party moved to the Western-style annexed living room and continued to ask Raviola questions.
“It didn’t seem like they were producing agricultural products separately,” She said. Isn’t the food situation bad after being quarantined for two months?”
= Ah. Our village grows specialized crops in the ground, and the trees that grow in every house bear fruit steadily. I’m holding on with the food I’ve stocked up just in case. There’s disgusting but goddamn frog meat.=
Parasitic tentacle toads use humans as breeding mothers, and humans kill and eat parasitic tentacle toads in a strange cycle.
=Because there is still no news of support other than the food situation, the villagers are having a hard time enduring it.=
=How much is the village defense force?=
=There are 16 people including myself in the profession, and if you include patrolmen, vigilantes, and guards, there are about 45 people.=
=It’s a bit small for the number to protect the village…….=
= Originally, there were about 100 people, but it kept decreasing for 5 weeks…….=
= Ugh. Didn’t you think of attacking the labyrinth? When a professional turns 16, he has quite a bit of strength.=
At Anne’s question, Yu Lepa shook her head.
=Sixteen may seem like a lot at first glance, but they will be in a hurry to protect the village from being attacked from all directions. I think it’s difficult to separate people and put them into the labyrinth.
=Yes. It’s just as Knight Yurpa said. It’s because they are using all their strength to defeat monsters centering on the kids who are professionals…….=
After asking the first question, Hwanin, who had been silently listening to the conversation between her girlfriends and Raviola, opened her mouth.
“The reason is that I can’t show my skills because of mental anxiety. If that anxiety is relieved, how much longer will I be able to endure?”
=I think we can survive for two more months if we save on food and take advantage of our free time to harvest fruits and vegetables near the village. Even the damn frog has gotten used to it a bit now, and the strong, sturdy boys and girls in the village are training.=
Hwanin made a decision after hearing that he was enduring while at least doing everything he had to do.
“Good. First, gather all the villagers in the largest clearing in the village.”
=Yes?=
What are you going to do? Anne said with a grin at the questioning look in her eyes.
=Lady Ravi, have you heard of the green saint?=
= Oh, no. I think you’re a great person if Knight Anne says so. What kind of person are you?=
The moment I heard Raviola’s reaction, I was embarrassed and turned around.
=Our doryeong is helping Krabin Village. Our do-ryeong is a high-level soul thinker who can purify even mixed substances. This beauty is an extremely powerful and rare class who fights alone with a 6th grade heterogeneous species. I am also a grade 6 sexual combat accident.=
Ah…… ! Come to think of it, I said that there were over 150 damn frogs that I had killed earlier!?
Raviola jumped up and shouted at this nanny, feeling her hope welling up in her heart.
=Z, I’ll gather people immediately!=
While Raviola dispersed with her servants and maids to gather the villagers, Hwanin rode around the village in an emergency. And…….
Pipit-
Cuddle!
Quegg!
After shooting the spirit arrows of the lower spirits at a group of 7 parasitic tentacle frogs that stood out, he slaughtered them, tied the two with the fewest injuries with a string, and made them fly away holding the emergency.
Coo, coo!
Moo, heavy!
The body height of parasitic tentacle frogs is about the height of a person, but because they are thick from the front and back, each frog weighs 500 to 600 kg.
I took two of them and flew with Hwanin on board, so I am flying with the feeling that I am struggling.
Kugoong!
= Ugh!?=
=God, it’s a monster toad!!=
=Calm down! These are dead things!=
When he returns to the village and drops the corpse in an empty lot where people are gathered, people are buzzing with anxious faces.
Hwanin roamed around the village again and summoned all his spirits.
It was annoying to call each one in words, but shooting waves of serenity would affect the production of a decisive scene, so I’m going to take them all in and make them into soul beads.
Hwanin, who looked around the entire village and returned by turning the souls of thirty-five into marbles, was able to see Raviola being protested by the crowds filling the plaza.
= Lady Ravi! Please tell me why you suddenly gathered like this!=
= I’m nervous because I called and didn’t say anything!=
=A while ago, a fucking little frog suddenly fell from the sky. Isn’t the barrier broken?!=
Raviola, who had been conversing with the women of Hwanin in a low voice at the sound of Jung-gu heating here and there, shouted so loudly that blood flowed from her forehead.
= Quiet everyone! Be quiet!! I didn’t call you when nothing happened! I called because I have an important story!!=
She, her original personality, seems to be quite outspoken, but about 700 villagers, who were half excited, hesitated and shut her mouth.
He has that kind of temperament, so he probably leads the town’s guards and patrols. She must have been depressed because of the gloomy situation and her Hwanin’s job.
But when she gathers, she doesn’t even tell me why.
Hwanin, who thought so, noticed later that she hadn’t told her to collect them for some reason.
=Hu, the reason for calling them together is no different. As some of you may know, a high-ranking spirit priest visited our village a while ago with her spirit knights. And whenheheard our circumstances, he was compassionate and said he would help.=
= No, lady Ravi, I haven’t seen her that much. She’s so mean! What kind of powers does the Holy Son have, she asked him for help?!
= That’s right! I am grateful that you have attained Buddhahood so that our poor children do not wander!
= Yes, yes? No that’s…….=
= Lady Ravi, don’t put her soul master in danger and let her go! =
=That’s right!=
= If something goes wrong with the spirit master, we will be punished instead! =
More rebellion erupted than when they gathered without explanation, and people buzzed.
In an instant, Raviola, who was the only bad bitch she was, tried to explain with her crying face that it was not that, but as her excitement from earlier added to this time, even Raviola tried to get into a situation that she could no longer control.
=Lady Ravi, the thief is here.=
Raviola, who was sobbing as if she was about to cry, heard Anne’s whisper and raised her head. What are the residents of her village? While doing so, she raised her head and witnessed Hwanin flying in the sky in an emergency.
Hwanin got down next to Raviola while listening to the murmur and caught sight of the crowd of 700 people.
What? Who?
Are you a spirit master? But you don’t have an aura.
Good looks……. Are you a Fleur?
Do you have short ears?
Wasn’t Kue flying in the sky just now?
Surprised by the sudden appearance of Hwanin, it was quiet, but as time passed, the buzz grew louder.
Hwanin heard the noise and quietly raised his hand. The moment when he felt that people’s eyes were focused on him again as the souls made of marbles were freed and returned to their original form.
Paaaaa?
Fired a wave of tranquility.
From the raised hand, a grayish-white light that is darker and stronger than usual spreads out like a tidal wave, wrapping around the 150,000-pyeong village at once and disappearing.
The plaza, which had gradually become noisy due to this, was enveloped in stillness once again.
The plaza where more than 800 people had gathered became quiet enough to hear the sound of needles dropping, and Hwanin opened his mouth to the people staring at him.
“The situation is not good, but I am glad to meet you, even in this situation, residents of Kravin.”
Klopp.
His voice pierces his ears clearly enough to be strange.
The villagers gulped and stared at the man standing on the 1m high platform.
“I am Hwanin, a pilgrim on the path of the soul, who is undeservedly called the green saint by many.”
The villagers were surprised to see Hwanin politely bowing his head, and they too hurriedly bowed their backs and bowed their heads.
Until just a while ago, my heart was filled with anger and anger at the unreasonable and unfortunate situation the village faced, but now my heart is comfortable and warm, just like a few months ago when it was peaceful.
I didn’t have an aura, but I knew something. You used a wave of serenity!
But I think it’s a bit different from the blessings of other spirit priests that I experienced a few times during the Seungryeongcheonje.
“The reason I asked Ms. Raviola to gather all of you, who are like heroes who have defended against the attacks and incursions of heterogeneous species on their own for two months, is because I am worried about all of you who are strained with tension.”
For an ordinary person, the fact that his life has been threatened for several days causes extreme mental fatigue and stress. It is a power that can even change some of the personality, and it can become a trauma and become an unforgettable wound for a lifetime.
The villagers then realized why they had gathered.
That’s natural. There is such a difference between before and after receiving the wave of tranquility.
If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have slept well tonight. But at least for today, I’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep.
When Hwanin was seen outside, he opened his mouth with his usual soft expression.
“The concern you showed me was impressive. It is because it is difficult for them to show concern for others even when they are in a difficult situation.”
Realizing the effect of the tranquility wave on the fact that people were paying more attention to him, he raised his hand and pointed at the parasitic tentacle frog that had been moved down the platform.
“I can’t see people with such good hearts suffering more from monsters like this. Since the trials of life are given by God, I, a weak human being, cannot give you a definite answer, but I promise you. I will do everything in my power to prevent this situation from escalating further.”
= Oh oh oh…….=
= Holy Son, Holy Son… !=
=Ha But the saint…… !=
“I know that some of you are worried about how the Spirit Corps, which has nothing to do with fighting, will fight strange monsters. But don’t worry. A high-ranking spiritist is not a helpless being, and I have a strong knight who can slaughter dozens of parasitic tentacle toads without harm.”
When Hwanin held out his hand to the side, Isilite and Anne spread their cloaks wide, revealing silver armor, and stood on the left and right sides of Hwanin.
Goddess-like beauties with a special shining aura and splendid silver armor.
The appearance of two powerful occupations on a different level from the 2nd and 3rd class occupations that were condescending as the best and the best in the village made the villagers’ minds unbelievable…… ? My heart changed to solid faith and began to burn hotly.
Hwanin poured oil on such a heart.
“So don’t worry. Isilite, a rare professional swordswoman, and Anne, a 6th-class Holy Fighter of the Church of the Land God, the religion of the distant tribal union nation Merianol, will protect you and restore your peaceful life.”
Wowaaaaa!
The square was filled with the shouts of the villagers.
When the next 35 souls were shown to become Buddhas in front of the villagers, the villagers’ faith in Hwanin was stronger than that in the Yuji family, who had been protecting the village for hundreds of years.
Raviola = Returning to Krabin’s mansion, Anne stuck her tongue inside her and said to her ghost.
= Do-ryeong is really great. I never really imagined that 35 souls could become Buddhas at once.=
“It’s just the result of the villagers showing their faith in me.”
The soul tends to be greatly swayed by public sentiment.
By awakening their minds in advance with a wave of tranquility and inciting the villagers to cheer, the souls had great faith in themselves, and the promise to wipe out the heterogeneous species that killed them there made them put down their grudge.
It would have been difficult if he had only spoken words, but thanks to the corpses of the two parasitic tentacle toads he caught and the existence of his girlfriends who prove his strength.
= Then… Saint? I, what should my village vigilante do?=
Realizing that the soul sage in front of her was a greater person than expected, Raviola’s attitude became very polite.
“As usual, it is sufficient to remain vigilant against enemy ambush. And starting tomorrow, I’m going around the village to reduce the number of parasitic tentacle toads overflowing in the forest, so I’d like to introduce you to someone who knows Krabin Forest.”
=Yes! I’ll pick up the guide right away!=
