Chapter 115. Taming Phantasmal Species (1)
“Byeung-!”
A huge sound rang out.
It shook the entire lakeside with the momentum to turn the world upside down.
So, Lloyd, who was hiding in the grass with the White Lancers, felt puzzled.
‘uh?’
what is that
Why is the cry like that?
Somehow, isn’t this strange?
‘It sounds like a completely phantasmagoric species, isn’t that?’
It was when he thought so.
Once again a roar rang out from under the nest in the middle of the lake.
“Beep! Scrub!”
Aaaah-!
A louder sound than before.
Its majestic roar caused ripples in the lake.
It was to the point where the members of the White Lancers, who were ambushing with me, became nervous as they unknowingly grabbed the handles of their shovels.
But what about Lloyd?
It was different.
I wasn’t nervous at all.
No, on the contrary, I felt more doubts and doubts.
The reason was simple.
The King Stoma’s roar just rang out.
It was because I was able to ‘clearly’ understand the meaning contained in it.
“for a moment. Did he just shout ‘Someone broke my dam!’? Did I hear you right?”
“Ppodong!”
To check, he looked into his arms and asked.
Pudong, who was wriggling in his inside pocket, nodded vigorously.
“Pododong Pododong. Podong-dong!”
“Right?”
“Ppodong!”
“uh. That’s what I heard.”
It is certainly.
Just now King Stoma apparently ‘said so.’
‘It sounded like I had a real-time automatic translator turned on in my head. perfectly clear. But this feels very familiar.’
No wonder.
Because that’s what happens all the time.
It was always like this when Pudongi and Bangbang talked to Hamang.
‘That’s why this is a sensation I only experience when talking to the phantom species.’
In fact, he himself did not know the principle.
It was just like that from the beginning.
It was from the moment I summoned the old Podongi.
I don’t know why, but I could clearly understand everything Pudongi said.
As if a real-time automatic translator was turned on in my head.
Or as if he had a Phantasmal Language Level 1 license.
I could just hear
‘But why is it still like that?’
King Stoma must have been a demon.
Why do I hear that guy’s roar as if it were from a phantasmagoric species, and I can feel its meaning?
The question didn’t last long.
Then a louder roar was heard.
“Beep! Beaver beep!”
Tukkwaaaaagh!
A roar and a roar erupted.
One side of the nest was shaken.
The spray rose explosively.
A huge body rose from within.
Overall, the round and plump silhouette stood tall.
Shoot Aaaaa!
Flattened to resemble the oars of a sailboat, the wide, flat, 20-metre-long tail splashed water.
Strong, short, thick hind legs stand like pillars.
Round, fleshy buttocks with tight power.
Above that was a stocky body and short front legs.
Finally, I saw a big, round head.
Just like that, the dark brown hair that was wet with water was wrapped around her body.
His square front teeth were exposed through his wide open mouth.
It roared again, raising the size of 100 meters.
“Byeom-!”
Wow-!
A huge roar echoed dozens of times and shook the entire lake and mountain range.
Lloyd finally realized.
‘That’s not a behavior like a beaver, is it just a beaver itself?’
It was.
A witch who just woke up and came out of the nest.
King Stoma finally revealed the size of 100 meters.
The guy was a beaver himself, not only in his habits but also in his appearance.
It was as if a 100-meter beaver had been placed there.
The same was true of the behavior seen after the roar was over.
Pooh!
King Stoma leaned forward again.
It slipped gently into the water.
started swimming.
The spot where Xaviel used blasting earlier.
That’s how we headed towards the place where part of the dam had collapsed.
‘Okay, as expected.’
A beaver who shows infinite obsession with the dam he built.
This plan was devised because it was such a habit.
The plan was working just fine.
It looked like he was going to fix the dam.
‘Well done. just keep going Hurry up and fix the broken dam.’
Lloyd was rooting for (?) King Stoma in his heart.
I hoped that the guy would swim straight to the demolished dam.
However, things did not go according to his wishes.
King Stoma, who was a good swimmer, suddenly stopped in place.
And started looking around.
I sniffed it as if I could smell it.
He let out a suspicious roar.
“Beep? Do you laugh?”
Of course, Lloyd was able to understand the meaning of the roar this time as well.
that’s right….
‘…Does something smell weird? Called?’
Sniff sniff!
King Stoma’s round nose sucked in the air.
A faint but disparate body odor felt in the air.
An unsuitable smell for a place full of dirt and wood lakes.
A fishy smell of metal came from one side and stimulated the sense of smell.
‘Bibung! Beep!’
King Stoma thought while sniffing.
It is certainly.
If the smell of iron is this thick, it is human.
Only those weak and greedy races can smell this thick and fishy iron.
That means….
“Beep! Beaver!”
King Stoma’s gaze turned to the dam.
The place where he felt the vibration that woke him up a moment ago.
I took a part of the collapsed dam in my eyes.
“Byeom!”
I get it now
It didn’t just collapse.
It was never outdated or accidentally collapsed.
it’s a human thing
Guys that smell like iron.
They broke it for some reason.
Your own precious dam!
“Beaver beep!”
King Stoma’s big black eyes were tinged with rage.
He looked around the lake with a blazing gaze.
Thanks to this, Lloyd had to swallow dry saliva.
‘That guy is looking for us right now.’
King Stoma’s cry filled with anger.
Listening to it, I automatically understood the meaning, just like when I was talking to a phantom species.
‘It smells like iron. It seems that there are humans. It seems that it was the humans who destroyed the dam and woke him up…. Whoa, is that reasoning true story?’
It wasn’t fun listening to it.
It was not at the level of intelligence or thinking of a mere beast or monster.
The podong or bell he was carrying seemed to be on par with Hamangi.
In other words, it had intelligence and reasoning ability equal to humans.
‘I’ll have to recheck my plans for the future.’
Lloyd’s expression hardened.
He organized his thoughts.
‘Originally, we were going to continue to damage the dam. Damaging the dam, causing King Stoma to wake up and repairing the dam. What if King Stoma falls asleep after fixing the dam? I tried to repeat the same process as before. Until the monster domino effect is over. Only for about a year.’
Like the beaver in the animal × field program he watched on TV.
Or like Sisyphus, who has to roll stones forever in Greek mythology.
By giving them such repetitive labor, they tried to induce King Stoma to work by force.
But what do you see now?
If the operation proceeds as it is, this is the right way to get hurt.
‘I’m much more intelligent than expected.’
I thought it was just a magic trick.
I thought it would be at the level of a beast like Giga Titan.
I didn’t even expect that it would be a guy with the same characteristics as the Phantasmal Species.
‘So it’s hard to repeat the operation as planned.’
It seems that it works now, but judging from King Stoma’s reasoning ability now, it seemed that if it was repeated two or three more times, it would be caught right away.
So it was.
‘I need a customized response.’
Lloyd’s head started spinning.
original plan.
King Stoma’s trait intelligence confirmed today.
I disassembled all the puzzles.
laid out on the floor
step by step from the beginning.
I tried a new shape.
And I finally found the answer.
“Haviel.”
Lloyd, who finished his calculations, looked away.
He looked straight into Xaviel’s eyes and said.
“Today, you have to be a bit of a villain.”
“…What do you mean by that?”
Xaviel asked back with a puzzled expression.
Lloyd curled up one lip.
“It is literally. You have to be a bit of a villain. To that King Stoma.”
“To King Stoma? If that’s what you mean-”
Xaviel’s eyes flashed.
“Are you going to kill me?”
“No never. never.”
Lloyd shook his head.
“You can’t kill this man. Think about it. What if I kill him? Then, who will scare and stop the monsters that will continue to come in the future as a domino phenomenon?”
“then….”
“Because he’s looking for something to resent right now?”
“yes? Are you something to be resentful of?”
“To explain more, I’m looking for traces of the culprit who broke the dam today.”
“Is that why you’re not going straight to the dam, you’re just stopping and looking around?”
“uh. Can you see him sniffing?”
“yes.”
“That one is looking for a place that smells like iron.”
“So you’ve concluded that humans are the culprits.”
“that’s right. That’s it.”
Lloyd grinned.
“So, brave, chic, and cool Lord Asrahan. Won’t you represent humanity here today?”
“Why should I?”
“Because you are handsome.”
“….”
Xaviel fell silent and Lloyd laughed evilly.
“Look around you. Is there anyone more handsome than you in this place?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Oh look, you don’t even think about it for a second when you answer.”
“Because it is a fact.”
“that’s right. So you have to be the representative.”
“What is that….”
“To be more precise, I want you to appear in a prominent place in King Stoma. and draw attention Acting as if you were the villain who broke the dam today.”
“Looks like you’re after something.”
“that’s right. I have something to aim for. Besides, you actually broke the dam, right?”
“But that’s with everyone here….”
“Didn’t you hit the last one?”
“….”
Like this filthy and mean little boy.
Xaviel glared at Lloyd for a moment with a pair of curious eyes.
However, he soon accepted the situation and nodded his head.
“great. do it Instead, I have something I want to ask of Lloyd-sama.”
“ask?”
“yes.”
“I will refuse.”
“….”
“what. why. what. In this situation, did you think that if you send out a request while setting the mood, I’ll accept it plainly?”
“Whoa, no.”
“Isn’t it too? Nice to see you. Then come on out. Don’t forget to fight only at the shallow edge so that there are no waves in the lake.”
“All right. then.”
I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but please don’t take the risk.
…I was going to ask for that.
Xaviel sighed and lowered herself.
I walked under the grass.
They moved in secret for a long time.
They spread more than three hundred meters away from the group.
I climbed up on a prominent lakeside rock.
Sureureung!
He drew his sword and raised it.
I activated the dark mind method.
The two circles collided violently.
Throwing Chemistry-!
Powerful blasts fired from the raised sword.
It crossed the sky over the lake with an explosion.
The head of King Stoma, who had been looking around until then, jerked this way.
I captured Xaviel’s appearance in an instant.
“Byeom-!”
It’s you guys!
King Stoma remembered clearly.
The explosion he heard while enjoying a sound sleep just before he woke up.
The same roar that broke the precious dam.
It was the same sound.
sure
So, that silver-haired man standing with a sword over there on the other side of the lake was the culprit of destroying his precious dam!
“Beep! Scrub!”
let out a roar of anger.
I dived beneath the cold surface.
He crossed the lake by cutting through the water with his huge body.
Chuwaaaaagh!
Due to its large size, its movement seemed dull.
But the reality was different.
A flat, broad tail resembling an oar.
With each swing of its tail, it stirred up an enormous amount of water.
It pushed its gigantic body up to 100 meters straight forward.
Thanks to this, King Stoma was able to attack Xaviel’s shore with just a few tails.
“Byeom!”
Chow!
He raised his head as if breaking the water.
Immediately, he slammed Xaviel down with his short, thick foreleg.
Kwaaang-!
The rock was splintered by a heavy blow. No, it was completely broken.
King Stoma huffed and inspected the broken rock.
However, he could not find the body of the heinous enemy anywhere.
It was then.
“This way.”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from about 20 meters away.
At the same time, an intense shockwave spread in a straight line.
Accurate-!
The shot blast passed over King Stoma’s head.
Thanks to this, King Stoma flinched.
“Byeom!”
oh i’m surprised
Surprise soon turned to anger.
“Beep! Scrub!”
It was from then.
King Stoma ran even more ferociously.
He exploded wildly to kill the heinous culprit (?) who broke the dam.
But each time, Xaviel dodged the attack naively like a flying fly. As a bonus, he even intentionally missed the blast.
Thanks to this, King Stoma’s gaze became more tenacious and followed only Xaviel.
The more Xaviel dodges each attack.
The more you keep running away like that, making fun of yourself.
I focused all my senses and nerves on Xaviel.
“Bubbeong! Bebebeobung!”
As time goes by, King Stoma becomes more ferocious.
Thanks to this, he was completely unaware of even his dreams.
‘It’s fine.’
Suddenly, Lloyd was sneaking up behind King Stoma.
However, in Lloyd’s hand, the trump weapon he had pulled out to subdue King Stoma was held tightly.
A potion that makes Phantasmal species small.
It was blue sunflower seeds.
