Episode 19. Monster (3)
“Looks like he collapsed from exhaustion.
I should have sent it a little earlier yesterday.”
Natalie said, placing Yuma’s head in her lap.
She took out a small pill, chewed it, and put it in Yuma’s mouth.
Puang turned his head away and cleared his throat.
“Ugh! What is this!”
Yuma frowned and opened his eyes.
The pill Natalie was munching on tasted extremely bitter.
Even if I ate a spoonful of soil, it wouldn’t taste any worse than this.
Lying down, Yuma coughed and brushed his hair. Yuma and Natalie met their eyes.
“and. Could it be that you passed out, did you feed them shit or something?”
Yuma loosened his frown and said.
“At most, they said they were going to die, so they ran and gave them precious medicine. What about the poop?”
Natalie laughed and hit Yuma’s forehead with her palm. It sounded pretty loud.
What she fed Yuma was a pill made from dragon blood.
Of course, it was a very rare medicine, and it was actually too much to feed to a fainting person.
“In an instant, my body feels lighter. I can’t believe I’ve been fighting that spiderling until just now. What drug is it?”
“A stimulant.”
Natalie answered briefly and stood up.
Looking around, there were clear traces of Shelob and Yuma’s struggle to the death.
Yuma also expected that the pills Natalie fed were rare.
I remember reading a description of a pill made from dragon’s blood in the imperial palace office one day.
In the book describing medicinal materials, there was a part that said, ‘Dragon blood group boosts the user’s energy and has a terrible taste that cannot be said to be of this world.’
‘Traces of Aurablaird on the ceiling.
And the power to cut a cellove with a single knife. Why are the forepaws so completely ruptured?’
Sellove’s paws were mangled, as if a magic shell had exploded from within.
Natalie was well aware of how terrifying the monster called Cellove was.
She remembered a cello she had seen as a child.
In the form of the monstrous spider that burst out of the demon cave without warning, annihilated the garrison in the reserve in a matter of minutes, and invaded the city of Kalam, countless Haseoguk warriors were pierced by Cellov’s web attack and split in two with their front legs.
Indiscriminately killing anything that moves on the ground seemed like Cellov’s only task.
Buildings collapsed one by one with each paw kick, and the acid solution that spewed out melted everything it touched, just like that of a dragon.
No matter how unprepared they were, the power of one cellove was nothing short of catastrophic.
‘But he said he caught this alone…?’
Natalie looked at Yuma hiding her surprise.
Yuma picked up a piece of his torn coat and wiped the blood off his body. I came up full of fishy blood from black blood.
“I was about to die. I’ll have to think about entering the demon cave alone in the future. How did you bring Natalie, Mr. Puang?”
Natalie, the Queen of Poison and the Rose Order.
Yesterday evening, Yuma and the others summoned her in a rather unique way, but in fact, she was not a person that Pouang could dare to tell her to come to.
“I heard that he ran to the rose society annex and wailed. I haven’t been able to see it.”
It was quite an embarrassing experience for the gatekeepers who were guarding the Rose Society’s annex.
It was because the man who had been taken away by Yuma with the certificate of Rose Society came back to find Natalie.
Of course, the gatekeepers did not let Pouang, who had no proof of rose society.
Poin tried to placate him with money and begged for help, but to no avail. Even those few minutes seemed like an incredibly long time to Poin.
The last method Poin chose was loud wailing.
He cried and sat down in front of the rose society outbuilding and began to weep.
I heard that Yuma is going to die.
In any case, since I am acquainted with the man who has the certificate of rose society, the gatekeepers eventually reported it.
Receiving the report, Natalie immediately grabbed her weapon and followed Pouang.
“Haha Pouang. Would I die from a spider like that?”
That’s what he said, but Sellove was a dangerous opponent even for Yuma. The skill and compatibility were good, so I was able to catch it without much damage.
“And you’re running right away, so it seems you’re more like a girl than I thought.”
Yuma looked at Natalie and said.
Natalie looked at the name of Duran Jacques engraved on Ascalon.
“You are not your master. If you continue to do such reckless things, ten lives will not be enough.”
It was a word he said conscious of even coming to the middle of enemy lines and committing acts of mischief.
From Natalie’s point of view, Yuma seemed to think she was immortal.
“I know. I should have done this before.”
‘I should have acted so recklessly even when I was recommended as a eunuch before returning. Even Mero was really nothing…
Yuma thought to herself.
“what?”
“Nothing.”
After roughly wiping off the blood, Yuma began examining Cellov’s corpse.
“Puang.”
“Yes, Yuma-sama.”
“Anyway, we can take something better than magic stones.”
“Did you enter the demon cave to take the magic stone?”
“Then, come in to get the magic stone from the demon cave.”
It was the most absurd thing Natalie had ever heard in her life.
It wasn’t a subjugation party, but an individual entering the cave without any special plans, just to pick up a few magic stones. It was crazy.
“I felt it yesterday too, but you’re really beautiful…
“You’re cool. I know.”
Yuma said while digging through Sellove’s corpse.
About 200 Shelobs were killed in the Empire during the Dragon Horse War.
In the early days of the war, Selove’s corpse would often come to the imperial castle.
It was as evidence for the empress to award the reward.
“This cellove corpse. It’s like a nugget of gold. A nugget of gold.”
Yuma said while slicing Selove’s head with an Ascalon.
Soon, Yuma reached in and pulled out Cell Robe’s compound eye. The compound eyes looked like large clusters of grapes.
Puang frowned in disgust.
The compound eyes were hard like iron beads. Yuma wiped the blood and cello residue from his compound eyes with a piece of his coat.
“It is something that wizards can process into artifacts. Take care of it, Mr. Puang.”
“I see.”
After taking out his compound eyes, Yuma started cutting through Shelob’s corpse with an Ascalon as if he were butchering.
Every time the blade moved, there was a creaking sound.
Severing Sellove’s belly, Yuma reached in and pulled something out and threw it at Natalie.
“You take that. Acid poison sac. I came running to save you, so this is a gift for you.”
Natalie held Selove’s poison sac with both hands and examined it. Inside the venom sac the size of an adult’s head, an orange liquid was boiling.
“Shelob poison can be processed and used as poison, but did you know that it can also be used to brew alcohol?”
said Natalie. It was my first dragon.
“Are you lying?”
“It is comparable to enjoying blowfish poison. I’ll have someone make it, so let’s have a drink together next time. You don’t poison well, so I’ll make it with a higher poison ratio.”
“Bad taste, bad taste. Aren’t they feeding poop or poisoning people who have fainted? I should also send some to Master and Hugo.”
“Do you know the Ogre Slayer?”
“little. Do you have any plans to become Hugo’s bride?”
wickedness!
Natalie swung her chainsword at Yuma’s face. It was a fatal attack surrounded by poison and aura.
“Cover up your own jokes.
If you don’t want to fall behind.”
Yuma, who managed to avoid the attack, nodded. A cold sweat ran down his spine. Smoke rose from the walls of the demon cave where the chainsword touched.
‘I’ll have to cover up the joke.’
Yuma let out a sigh of relief.
When the story of Hugo’s bride came out, Poin’s face darkened.
It was because I had already made a pact with Hugo and it had been more than a year, but there was no income.
Yuma agonized over whether to inform Puang that the contract period was 10 years.
There are still 9 years left. However, people’s minds tend to become lazy the moment they think that homework has 10 years left.
In any case, within 10 years, it was good to find a wife and bring her to Hugo. You’ll be able to build more goodwill from Hugo before the Dragon Horse War.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. By that time, the dragon and horse war would break out, so Hugo would have no time to worry about his wife.
Ascalon cut off Shelob’s ruptured paw. The thick, hard outer skin had been torn to shreds, making it look like a crumbled biscuit.
“This is a bit pricey. It’s a good armor material, but it exploded too much.”
Yuma took a few large pieces and handed them to Puang. If you entrust it to a good blacksmith, it seemed like you could make an arm guard.
Inside the cave, only the sound of the cellove’s body being cut could be heard.
Yuma wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and thoroughly disassembled the cellove’s corpse. But there was nothing more to salvage.
Yuma shook his head in regret and wiped the black blood from Ascalon.
“Still, this will be worth more than a single magic stone. It is worth coming in.”
“Yuma-sama, let’s go back now. If I stay here a little longer, I think I will go insane.”
Yuma nodded.
The party was able to get out of the cave quickly. I had only been inside the demon cave for a few hours, but it felt like I was breathing outside air for the first time in a long time.
“Can I ask Natalie one favor?”
“no.”
Natalie was heartbroken when asked if she would become Hugo’s bride.
“You got a poison bag. You know, but those are expensive.”
“I don’t like it. Is it because the food I fed you is expensive?”
“Oh, just once. ah!”
Natalie smiled and turned her head towards Yuma. Yuma was a man of many personalities, and even looking at it again, he was just as good as his lover.
“What?”
“The guards in the Magul Sanctuary were not very reluctant to cooperate with entry.
So I put it to rest for a while.”
“so?”
“Me and Puang-sama are going to run away from now on, so please take care of the back work.”
Yuma started running without hearing Natalie’s answer. Pouang, who had been frozen like ice for a while, immediately grasped the situation and scurryed after Yuma.
After Yuma and Puang left, the guards on shift came running to the cave.
The sentries on the shift could hear what had happened to the sentries who had woken up from their stunned state.
The contents that the mysterious man broke the spear with his bare hands and stunned them before entering the demon cave.
The shift guards were on the verge of notifying the main unit of the problem and rushing to the cave.
“Are you the culprit!?”
The sentry shouted at Natalie, aiming a spear with trembling hands.
Natalie looked like a culprit to anyone who saw her because her clothes were soaked in the blood of the celebs.
“It’s because there are so many people in Kalam who don’t know me… I’m Natalie, the owner of the rose society. It is the way to subdue the cellove in the demon cave with the customer and come out.”
“What is it…
the terrified sentry couldn’t figure out what to do. Natalie shattered the sentry’s spear with a punch and ran past him.
“Tell your boss. Jangmihoeju told me to come to the annex. Horon or Moron is the person in charge of the Magul area, isn’t it? Tell them that you’d better come quickly because you have a lot to hold on to.”
Natalie moved slowly towards the rose society annex.
