Chapter 104 – Dragon Creek (9)
“Then the purpose of your visit this time is because of the warrior?”
On the way to the northern front line, I revealed the original purpose of my visit to the north. The hero, A.A., Was welcomed by the Grand Duke of the North before heading to the mountains. According to the letter, A.A. Didn’t return for more than two weeks after that, and if I count the time I came to the north, it didn’t show up in the territory for a very long time.
The knight looked as if he had finally remembered something about the hero. The situation was so urgent that neither the warriors nor the angels had time to care. I asked.
“So, where did the hero go?”
“I don’t know. Since you left to investigate the mountain range, you didn’t come back… Maybe that’s…”
The knight who faced a series of negative situations in the north prepared a build-up to bring out a negative story again. After witnessing the tragedy in the North several times, I quickly cut off my words because I was seeing all the articles here as high-risk for suicide.
“The demi-humans. Let’s talk about the demi-humans. How dangerous are the demi-humans?”
“They are very terrifying. They always choose a direction where we are not and attack the village. They kill and drag men and women alike.”
“Are you kidnapping?”
“Yes. That’s right. They’re heinous guys. They’re definitely preying on us humans.”
Are the children kidnapping? There was no event like kidnapping in the original work. Neither were the children cannibals. Are these bastards kidnapping? What? I couldn’t help but get into trouble. If they really are the ones who chew, bite, taste, and enjoy humans infinitely, do they also belong to the demon king’s army?
Since the succubus, the Four Heavenly Kings, was conspiring here, the subhumans could have changed under the influence of the succubus. Succubus. Only then did I think of the virgin succubus again. The hero killed the maiden succubus, who must have been really damn pretty.
“I heard that you caught a succubus.”
“Ah, yes. The Archduke caught it while exploring the mountains. Apparently, that… It seems to be a monster related to Evangeline, and the Archduke personally tortured it.”
Official documents about Evangeline had spread across the country, so the Archduke also started an investigation. Anyway, it bothered me that he had ‘tortured’ her virginity.
“You were still a virgin, right?”
“Yes?”
“No. It’s nothing. So she asked if I’d figured out something.”
The image would have been ruined. I made up my mind again. It reminded me of the big size of Archduke Rubicon and the image of the old man ‘torturing’ him. Unbeknownst to me, strength went into my lower leg. Said the article.
“He was a devil with a really great mind. He mocked us all the way.”
“What if I mocked you?”
“‘I’ll say anything! But I can’t!’ Well, as if to say something like this, he was a demon who enjoyed teasing us. Although he was an enemy, I admired his mental strength. Every time he heard such words, the Archduke became more and more angry and beat the monster with an iron club.”
“Ah…”
I don’t think it’s a mental problem. I guess I really wanted to tell you. If I had grown up a little and calmed myself down, I think I would have done a naked crab in front of the Grand Duke.
“Even when all its limbs were broken, the monster didn’t stop mocking us. I couldn’t speak!” He cried out to the end. Even though he pretended to cry, he didn’t stop mocking us, which gave us goosebumps.”
“It’s terrible.”
Evangeline’s ban had a terrifying provocative effect. Didn’t the succubus himself curse Evangeline while being tortured? I felt sorry for Luvian, the succubus who died while suffering. The four heavenly kings suffered so much that they couldn’t even see the light and were all going to the underworld.
Are Queen Lamia and her doppelganger still alive?
“We have arrived at the front line. Lord.”
Smoke was rising on the horizon. I drew my mace and sped up my horse. The rear was full of bodies of fallen soldiers. Horrible figures with claws digging in the chest and limbs falling off were everywhere.
The sky was full of crows flying in for prey. The sun was still low, but along with the gloomy weather, the cries of crows filled the sky. Black things covered the sky, so the time was day, but it was night.
After passing the mountain of corpses, a field hospital where people were groaning came into view. The soldiers were groaning. From nurses to military doctors, they were gritting their teeth and working hard on treatment, but they were not enough. One of the wounded grabbed me by the hem of my clothes.
“Priest… The priest is here…”
“Heel.”
Heal was poured on the dying body, and the wounds began to heal. At the same time, I felt all the strength go out of my body. Heal consumed more of my stamina the bigger the wound. Even if I had cancer, it was difficult to treat everyone here. It wasn’t just the wounded, but most of them were seriously injured. I only treated two or three people I had eye contact with and got up after robbing my seat.
“Where are you from?”
In the distance, another priest of the Great Heavenly Church lay down with an exhausted face. He got up with a smile as if he was very happy to see me. He was asking where he was from as soon as his eyes met. I said.
“This is Peta Lucius, the Southern Priest. How about that?”
“Ah… That… With the mermaid…”
“With a mermaid?”
“…Northern Priest. Munch Alonzo.”
If Mermaid Park had anything to do with it, he was about to ‘die a natural death’, but Alonzo shut his mouth. It wasn’t a matter of worrying about whether it was a mermaid or a watermelon because the situation was the situation.
“Alonzo. Is the situation very serious?”
Alonzo was an old man with gray hair. He rubbed his wrinkled chin and nodded his head.
“It’s very serious. The injured are increasing one after another, but doctors and priests are not enough. With my lack of ability, I can’t treat more than 5 people a day.”
It wasn’t that the priest’s ability was lacking. The number of soldiers being brought here was unreasonably high. If dozens of seriously injured people were being brought in, even the pope, not the priest, could not handle it.
“So, uh… Are you here to do healing work?”
“Treatment begins with removing the cause of the disease, doesn’t it?”
“Yes. It is.”
“I’m here for physical therapy.”
I took out my mace and turned to the battlefield. First of all, killing children was the priority. I hadn’t even reached the battlefield yet, but I could already hear the screams.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Closing the right side! Back up!”
The screams of the knights, the screams of the demi-humans, and the desperate screams of the soldiers were intertwined. I frowned and went forward. I could see the soldiers retreating, the knights fighting in front, and the subhumans pushing back those knights.
Seeing the Ajins I’d only seen in games in real life, I whistled spontaneously. Because it was so cool A massive muscular body with thick scales sprouting all over the body. Reptilian eyes, sharp teeth, and claws that were so vicious that they reminded one of a dagger. The subhumans were human weapons themselves.
In particular, the sight of him roaring with his elongated snout wide open was stimulating my romance. I picked Ain in the lead and checked his stats. I wondered what kind of morale traits he had to slaughter soldiers.
Name: Thai Rumple
Race: Ain
Level: 30
Stat
Strength: 35
Agility: 10
Intelligence: 48
Luck: 10
Characteristic
Solid scales
Ignores attacks from characters whose Strength stat is lower than your own.
Rotten Claw
Opponents who are fatally wounded by the attack are inflicted with [Deadly Poison] Status ailment.
Fear
This unit is feared.
I’m so fucking proud. That was the explanation. Power stat 30 looks like a dog, but unless it’s a knight level, the best for soldiers is around mid-10’s. In other words, if an Ain falls in the middle of the soldiers, it is possible to unilaterally slaughter without getting hurt.
There were not just one or two, but hundreds of people like that, and they were causing a riot, so it was only natural that all the soldiers and engineers were swept away.
But even so, if there was one strange thing, it was that these children were terrified. Cowardice? Why are you scared?
“Aaaaagh!”
One knight screamed and fell backwards. Thanks to this, there was a temporary void in the front line, and one Ain dug into the void and jumped into the rear line where the soldiers and I were.
“Lord, kill me!”
The soldiers screamed and swung their spears at Ain. However, Ain, who was struck by the spear, only flinched and suffered no wounds. Ain grabbed the spearhead that flew at him and broke it, then he gave me his gaze.
“Are you a woman?”
“Are you a woman?”
I asked, nodding my mace. Depending on whether this offspring is female or not, the extermination of sub-species is decided. Because if all women looked like this, it would be unbearable. In the original work, the gender of the children was not revealed, but the fucking race would distinguish male and female. Ain pushed the soldier who was charging at him with his hand and said.
“We don’t distinguish between those things. It’s better to follow suit. We need a strong man.”
It was a species of chewable insect. Should I just kill them all? I said while swinging my mace in the air.
“It sucks.”
“If you don’t follow me, I’ll give you an arm…”
Kang!
[Assault’s effect is applied, so the damage is doubled]
Ain’s head shattered coolly. The scales were hard, so the feeling of hitting was extraordinary. The knight, who was concentrating on the fight, opened his mouth wide after seeing him smash the head of Ain with just one shot. Seeing Ain fall to the ground, the other Ain started screaming.
“The strong one has come! The strong one! Run away!”
It was a very organized move. As soon as I killed one child, the children all tried to run away.
“Take hold of that one guy. Don’t kill him.”
When the knights heard that, they grabbed the skin of one child and dragged it down. Ain struggled and called his other teammates, but the others had long since disappeared.
“Aaaaa!”
I swung my mace in front of the glowing Ain. Ain exclaimed urgently.
“Stop! I’ll do anything, so stop!
“Anything?”
I swung my mace and stopped. It was a very nice sound to hear while drinking anything. However, after seeing my reaction, this bastard seemed to have a different idea. Ain hesitated for a moment, then shook his body and screamed.
“Sir, do you think you’re going to attack me! Küd! Kill! That’s not enough!”
“…What is he saying now.”
The knights glanced at me silently, then cleared their throats and looked away. Shall I kill all these bastards? Is this the same as a fucking mermaid?
