Episode 120. Traces of the Warlock (2)
Selove got out of the dimensional door in an instant.
It wasn’t one. Another dimensional door was opening next to Selobe, who was just raising her forepaw. Yuma shrugged and sighed softly.
Hey hey hey!
Selove, who jumped out first, jumped low and attacked Yuma.
Yuma grabbed the guy’s front leg with his bare hand and punched him with the other hand.
Shelob, who had been hit in the head, was pushed back and screamed. Black blood was gushing out of the place where the main food was inserted.
The arm that was blocking the guy’s front leg tingled slightly.
When he first faced Sellove in the demon cave of Haseoguk, he barely blocked it with his sword, and looking back, it was a scene where you could see how high Yuma’s level of inaction had become.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen a monster that bleeds black blood.’
Until now, he had only dealt with monsters from the underworld that shed purple blood.
Yuma lightly brushed off the blood on his fist and counted the number of them. Those who came after saw that the first salobe had been hit and looked wary of Yuma.
There were a total of five Celloves. It was a number that Yuma of today could easily deal with. Looking at them, Yuma remembered a memory from before returning.
Vargas, the demon general of the underworld.
It was a memory of the massacre of civilians by five special celobs he released in the imperial capital during the Dragon Horse War.
‘Could these be the Selovs who attacked the capital then?’
Yuma, who was a eunuch at the time, did not participate in the war himself, but was able to hear the testimonies of the knights who survived the subjugation.
They were much stronger than the average cellove, and it was said that the situation would have been difficult to get out of control without the support of a number of high-ranking sword masters, including Damian Zach and Millina Spaser.
I’ll have to catch them all and kill them.
As the blue aura flowed through Ascalon, his dark vision opened up. Cellov’s compound eyes blinked several times in response to the light.
Kite kiteit…!
Cellovs spread out to the left and right, spitting hard and sharp spider webs. Yuma knocked out two, leaped slightly to avoid the rest, and responded with an aura blade.
The extreme aura blade cut through the air. Yuma naturally knew that the cellove group would not be able to react to the momentary counterattack, but they moved organically and escaped the Aura Blade.
Yuma’s Aura Blade was so fast that even advanced unmanned people could not easily avoid it. Unexpected agility. As Yuma landed on the floor, he decided to be more nervous.
“Keeik!”
This time, an acid breath flew in. They alternately blew breaths and spider webs at different times.
Movements as if they were being trained for a linked attack. Yuma realized that they were superior to the cello he had dealt with in Haseo in the past.
It was like that from being ‘guarded’ against Yuma in the first place.
Originally, monsters had a habit of attacking recklessly without feeling fear, but except for the first one, they continued to make cautious movements.
‘What are these?’
Because of this, I felt like I was dealing with demons rather than monsters.
The acidic breath bounced off Ascalon melted the walls of the cavity and raised smoke.
The smoke billowing from all sides was permeated with strong poison, and even a single breath could take a serious blow, unless it was a rigid body.
Kurruru..I, and the cavity was vibrating as if it would collapse at any moment.
If the cavity collapsed and a chunk of rock poured out, it would not cause much damage, but it was necessary not to damage this space as much as possible. Because I had to do an investigation.
‘You’re annoying!’
The moment Sword Eye flashed, Yuma’s body disappeared.
The speedboat deployed at maximum speed quickly reduced the distance between them and Yuma to one step.
The first thing Yuma aimed at was the middle. It was a rush that originated from the judgment that the one standing in the center was the most dangerous, as he had blocked their attacks so far.
Kagak!
Ascalon struck down and cut off his forelegs. And Yuma couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes the next moment.
The severed front leg immediately grew back. As if it had never been cut.
Even a troll didn’t have this kind of regenerative power. A single monster possesses a regenerative power that is incomparable to those of the demon lords of the underworld that they faced in the east.
It was absurd. As the regenerated leg stabbed in like a spear, Yuma quickly turned and attacked the cellove on the right. Similarly, the leg was cut off, but unlike the one in the middle, it appeared to be unable to regenerate.
‘It seems that only one of them has the ability to regenerate.’
When I looked at the cellove in the center again, there was a difference in appearance from the others. The overall body size was larger, and the compound eyes on the top of the head were covered with a translucent carapace.
It was the first structure I had ever seen.
I thought it would be better to kill the other celebs and deal with him. Yuma cheered up and decided to end the battle as soon as possible.
Sellov, whose front leg had just been cut, was the first target. Of course, it is best to finish off the enemies who have lost their mobility.
Snug! The feeling of Ascalon cutting through his torso was heavy. This is because of its unique hard outer shell. Sellove’s round stomach was ripped apart, and several black lumps fell, and Yuma climbed up the body in the meantime and stabbed the sword again into the back of the body.
“There’s nothing quite like this when killing Shelob.”
A bright light leaked from the Ascalon plugged into the joint between Cellov’s body and head. And immediately, an explosion erupted, shattering Cellov’s flesh and exoskeleton.
Hooded… Yuma landed lightly and looked over at the Selobes, now reduced to four. As if they were shocked by Yuma’s strength, they were walking backwards.
‘Are you afraid of monsters? Besides, it looks like they’re in an encirclement formation, doesn’t it?’
It was a strange sight. Yuma guessed that they might be scared because of the demonic energy he possessed, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
Unlike normal monsters, these guys have reason. That was the conclusion that Yuma intuitively came to.
There seemed to be some kind of command system as well as rationality, and the cellove in the center seemed to be in charge of it.
Right now, Yuma is tearing them apart, so there is nothing wrong with it, but what would happen if a monster with a chain of command and reason attacked an ordinary military base or private house?
There weren’t many people in the world who could easily cut down and kill five celebs like this.
Among the warriors Yuma knew, there were no more than ten, and including those he did not know, there would be no more than twenty.
This meant that it was a problem that needed a global solution.
When the war started, these guys could pop out from anywhere, and there couldn’t be a top-notch soldier like Yuma waiting for them every time.
‘I’ll have to keep the biggest cellove as a research specimen.’
Even when he was five, he couldn’t have threatened Yuma’s life, so now that he’s four, there’s nothing to say. Each time Yuma took a step closer, the Cellovs flinched and let out a breath.
Two of them hurriedly jumped up and clung to the ceiling, shooting spider webs. It was a fairly difficult attack to avoid, but it was their mistake that it stuck to the ceiling.
“Kyao Ok!”
Tulka, who was waiting at the entrance to the joint, jumped up and hit them with his paws and bit them.
Tulka was quite small compared to Selove, but in terms of physical strength, it was a spiritual creature that could not be compared to that monster.
Wood deok! Tulka’s teeth and paws were shattered like the bark of a tree.
Yuma slashed the fallen men in two at the same time with Tulka, and planted an orb into the gap to confirm death.
Then, he stroked the head of Tulka, who was standing next to him, and brushed off the black blood on his sword. The sticky demon blood was disgusting whenever I saw it.
Two guys now. With a more relaxed face, Yuma pondered over how to leave the big cello as a research subject.
‘It should be sent alive to the wizard’s lab, but if you just cut it down until it’s overpowered, it’s likely that you’ll die because your regenerative power will be exhausted. What is it?’
The two Selovs were fully aware of the fact that they were at an extreme disadvantage. The guys couldn’t move quickly.
While the confrontation continued for a while, the big Cellov’s compound eyes suddenly emitted a dark blue light. It was a magic eye. It was the same type used by Sellove of Haseoguk Magul in the past.
However, the monster’s demonic eyes did not work on Yuma anymore.
The moment Yuma covered Tulka’s eyes with her palm for a moment, the wall behind them began to twist. The dimensional door is open.
‘Could it be that other monsters are coming out more!?’
It wasn’t.
It was a portal opened by a big cello, but it was opened for escape. Yuma was dumbfounded when he saw them hurriedly throwing themselves into the portal.
“These bastards!”
It was not possible to catch both of the fleeing shell robes because it was a dimensional gate formed at such a short distance from them.
One had already escaped, but luckily Yuma grabbed the hind leg of the big cellove who had just pushed its head through the portal.
The big cellove struggled to escape Yuma’s grasp. Yuma grabbed him with all his might, but it seemed like he would soon drop his legs and run away.
“Ask Tulka!”
Tulka took the body of Selove and started to hold on instead of Yuma. Yuma climbed on the body and cut off the front leg holding the dimensional door.
Then he and Tulka bounced back. It hurriedly moved its eight legs and struggled to throw itself back into the portal.
baek! However, the big Selove who jumped up again fell down after being hit by Yuma’s fist that flew into his head. He became desperate and rolled his compound eyes in all directions, but Yuma continued to beat him.
If he used the sword, he wouldn’t be able to save him and send him to the lab, so Yuma was just thinking of hitting him until he passed out.
The blunt sound of fists hitting Cellov’s skin echoed through the cavity. As he slashed the cell robe while gently controlling his strength, Yuma’s tongue stuck out at its regenerative power.
‘What’s with all this?’
In terms of regenerative power, it was better than the Demon King. He said he was adjusting his strength so that he wouldn’t be completely crushed or exploded, but he continued to scream and stand up.
Yuma just kept swinging his fists and shins, suppressing the desire to use his sword to shatter him.
“under. It’s crazy…
Sellove abandoned Yuma’s beating for three hours. Yuma ran his sweat through his hair and looked down at the cell robe, which collapsed and flinched intermittently.
What made it even more creepy was the fact that the creature’s regenerative power hadn’t fully been revealed yet.
The guy was recovering little by little even in a state of disrepair.
Yuma began to think about how to carry this out of the joint.
I had to subdue it because I had to use it as a sample, but I didn’t have a good way to take it outside.
If there was even a magic rope, I could pull it out somehow with Toulka, but there was only a notebook and a pipe in my coat pocket.
I should send Tulka to Rochshire to call someone, but as I pondered for a while with my pipe in my mouth, a familiar voice came from the common entrance.
“Is Yuma there!?”
“Marlon? How did you get here?”
“Why is this so late, making the patient worry? Ariel gave me a ride!”
“what? Ariel?”
Well, unless you rode a dragon, it was impossible to come this far within that time. Yuma waved to his friends who joined in.
Marlon, whose shoulder had been bandaged up until just now, looked perfectly healed.
