Episode 165
Episode 64. Love is accompanied by pain….
On a fishing boat leaving Inzbican and returning to Port Ratts.
Yuma and the others were looking at the artifact Chrisa had given them.
The artifact was in the shape of a cube. And unlike its appearance, it was quite heavy.
-…When the ancient dwarves were still in the world, humans would ask them for that. In those days, large men much taller than trolls were common. On the other hand, the women were small.
Saying that, Krissa frowned slightly.
It was an absurd request from Kriesha’s point of view.
Naturally, she knew that Yuma would ask if he could get a special weapon like the Dragon Spear, Sibelin.
However, to ask the great blue dragon to make an object for the complete union of men and women.
-Hugo That monster got a woman. It’s something to live a long time to see.
Chrisa was over 3,000 years old.
– Hmmm. That’s how it happened, Miss Krisha.
While talking, Kriesha stared at Yuma with a complex and subtle expression. Then he opened the dimensional door and took out this artifact.
The party received the artifact, got out of the golden pagoda, and were looking around together on a boat.
“Can I swallow this?”
“crazy. How can I swallow this?”
The cube-shaped artifact was about half the size of a human head. I couldn’t get past this stuff down my throat. Besides, it was as hard as steel.
Of course, if it were Hugo, he would be able to crush and swallow ducks, not steel, with his teeth.
However, Krysa had said that if this artifact is broken or damaged, it has no effect.
That meant that I had to pass this large, hard cube down my throat without even chewing it.
Everyone in Yuma’s party opened their mouths as wide as possible and tried to touch the artifact. It was so large that even biting it was impossible, let alone swallowing it.
No matter how big Hugo is, I wondered if he would be able to swallow this.
It had such a large mouth that no matter how hard I tried to put it in my mouth, I felt like my throat would tear if I forcefully swallowed it.
“Love always involves pain, I…
Yuma said that while looking at Inz Bikan as he walked away.
On the way back, the party was able to face a single pirate ship.
As soon as the pirate ship saw the magic flag painted on the sail of the ship the party was on, it seemed to be uninterested and tried to pass it by.
“Captain! Hurry up and chase that ship!”
As soon as Marlon found the pirate ship, he suddenly asked the captain to give chase. It was because it was a pirate ship he had seen before.
Marlon was worried that the pirates he had suffered in the past might be robbing the civilians of Matan with a grudge.
The captain scolded Malone for why he had to chase the pirate ship.
However, as soon as Marlon revealed that he was the third assault leader of the Worgs, he was ready to pretend to die if it was Marlon’s horse. It was not an attitude of humiliation, but an act of respect.
“I knew you were unmanned, but you must have been that Malone! Magical mercenary prince!”
Upon learning Malone’s identity, the captain snorted excitedly and assumed helmsmanship.
When the nickname ‘Mercenary Prince of Magic’ came out of the captain’s mouth, Malone’s nose was raised to the fullest.
However, Yuma and Natalie Zecca burst into laughter with blushing faces.
“A mercenary prince of magic? Alas, I, a prince and a baron, did not recognize the prince and have been rude. Ha ha ha!”
“Prince. That kind of lowly commoner has been talking flatly to the prince…
While Yuma and Zecca Natalie were chasing the pirate ship, they called Malone the prince and made fun of him.
Marlon calmed his bubbling head and glared at the pirate ship.
The pirate ship panicked and did not know what to do when the magican ship chased them. It was all the more so because the pirates had bad memories in this area.
“Why is the Mamatan ship following us! Aren’t they crazy!?”
“Captain! What should I do?”
The captain of the pirates started thinking for a while.
The pirates never touched Matan’s vessel. But no matter how it was, the ship approaching the pirate ship first was a nonsense story.
However, the captain soon opened his eyes.
Compared to their own pirate ship, it was a small fishing boat. If you sink that strange ship into the sea, there will be no witnesses anyway.
It was time to rebuild the pirate’s pride, which had been destroyed by the monsters he encountered while plundering in this area last time.
They were the pirates who were attacked by Yuma’s party while trying to plunder the old man’s ship in the past.
The current captain was the vice-captain who pointed out the old man’s boat at the time. Because Marlon killed the captain.
“Fire the shells!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was not easy to hit the boats of the party with shells. However, about two of the shells that flew close to 10 feet landed directly on the ship of the party.
However, Yuma was able to easily hit even the magic shells reinforced by Adeline Woods’ magic bombardment amplifier.
The pirates’ crude cast-iron shells were no more dangerous than mosquitoes to Yuma’s party.
The shells that flew into the middle of the fishing boat were cut off by Yuma and Marlon one by one with their swords. The shell split in the air and fell into the sea.
Marlon looked at the sea where the shell had landed in bewilderment.
“At the magic ship… shoot a shell?”
coo coo coo.
The aura that formed on Marlon’s body began to grow. It was a heavy and thick aura that made the air around Marlon feel stuffy.
Turned the top on this
The fortunes of those foolish pirates ran out today.
Yuma clicked his tongue inwardly.
To spend one life only for piracy.
Besides, Yuma definitely gave me a chance.
When I ran into them before, I killed the captain and saved the others.
Like the stowaways beaten by Yuma, I didn’t expect to go to Gwacheon, but at least it was right that I didn’t even come close to this area.
Even Yuma knew that they were pirates who tried to plunder the old man’s ship in the past.
“Aww! What are those! What!”
Cut out the shells? The vice-captain was on the verge of going mad with numbness in his hamstrings. I didn’t feel good.
The captain held up the telescope with trembling hands. Suddenly, the small ship was approaching to a fairly close distance.
Through the telescope, I could see the shapes of monsters I would never forget.
“hey! The rope will be flying soon! Don’t ever stop doing that, everyone get down on your knees and wait! Raise the white flag!”
The vice-captain shouted urgently to the pirates on deck.
“Captain! What are you talking about!”
“They are them! The one who climbed on our ship before and killed the captain!”
As soon as the pirates on the deck heard the story, they knelt down after matching their ranks without asking or questioning. Some wave long, large white flags signifying surrender.
I didn’t know that if I waited so politely and then prayed hard, I might be spared.
And above all, they had never harmed that magic bullet ship! I was just passing by and came across it by chance.
After the death of Captain Jeondae, the newcomers noticed the atmosphere and dropped their weapons and knelt down.
Among the pirates, the Black Wolves 3rd assault captain and his friends were notorious.
Why should I meet them again in this wide sea! The vice-captain suppressed the desire to cry and took off his captain’s hat.
If they come up, you should pray that they will quit being pirates and go back to their hometown and lead a decent life…
“Yuma.”
“yes! Prince!”
Even though Marlon’s voice was low and heavy, Yuma replied cheerfully because it was just fun to tease her friend.
“Ask the guys. Are there any magicians kidnapped on that ship?”
“All right! Prince!”
Amplifying his voice with energy was what Marlon could do. However, I have not yet been able to produce an overbearing voice that can be heard very clearly from this distance and above the pirate ship.
So Marlon asked Yuma to ask instead.
“Listen, pirates! Do you remember my voice? Did you guys kidnap the magicians?”
Yuma roared with all her energy. The energy of the full aura in Yuma’s voice pushed the waves gently and thumped the pirate ship.
The pirates were startled by the sudden vibration and screamed loudly.
“There are no hostages here!”
“Please save me!”
“I see. Prince! Get ready!”
Yuma exclaimed playfully.
Yuma’s party didn’t plan to go up on the pirate ship and deal with them this time.
When they were close enough to throw the rope at the pirate ship, they each drew their weapons.
Yuma did not pull out his weapon and quietly raised his hand. Auror spheres spinning in a spiral were floating around his body.
I had no intention of killing him outright. But shouldn’t we pay the price for ignoring the warning and piracy?
So I thought of destroying the boat. Whether they drowned in the sea or were rescued by a passing boat was a matter that their destiny would choose.
“If you survive, don’t even come near Matan Sea!”
Shaaaaaagh!
Marlon and Zecca Natalie’s sharp aura blades flew relentlessly toward the pirate ship. Soon after, the timbers that made up the pirate ship began to be cut mercilessly.
Puff! Finally, Yuma’s aura orb landed on the side of the pirate ship.
It looked like a huge deep-sea monster destroying the entire pirate ship.
The pirate ship was broken into pieces and sank into the sea in an instant, as if it had been swept away by a tidal wave.
The party was able to clean up a group of pirates and return to the Black Wolves safely through Port Ratts.
“shit! shit! Yuma you bastard!
Maria is back!”
As soon as he returned to the Worg headquarters, Marlon screamed and cursed Yuma. Because Maria is gone.
I couldn’t go on a proper date with Maria.
On the other hand, as soon as Hugo sees the artifact Yuma gave out, Hmm! He snorted.
He received the solid artifact with an extremely cautious gesture, lest it go wrong.
“Can I swallow this?”
Hugo asked in a solemn voice.
He touched the artifact carefully as if he were handling the finest porcelain.
“That’s right. But… I can only keep my body small for about an hour a day. And above all.”
Yuma paused for a moment and looked at Hugo’s expression.
“While using that artifact to shrink in size, Hugo-sama can only use about 1/10 of his normal strength.”
“Is that all there is to risk?”
“Yes, Krisha-sama told me so.”
“i get it.”
cancer.
Surprisingly, Hugo opened his mouth wide and put the artifact into his mouth. However, the artifacts were filling his mouth, and his cheeks were about to swell.
‘How could someone swallow that and call it Hugo-sama… Ugh!’
Kudo deude deuk dedeudeuk!
It was the sound of the artifact going down Hugo’s throat.
Yuma opened his eyes wide and looked at Hugo.
His face was already red and he was sweating profusely. It seemed that the artifact was blocking his throat, making it impossible to breathe. It was the first time Hugo had seen him like this.
But the next moment, Hugo couldn’t frown anymore and swallowed the artifact whole in one gulp.
“Keuouh!”
And Hugo screamed in agony for a while.
Oh my God, you really swallowed that! A mind of wonder and a mind of concern arose at the same time.
“Hugo-sama, are you okay!?”
“Fine… Wow! It’s okay…
Hugo swallowed the artifact and there was no change. However, when Hugo earnestly cried out in his heart to ‘become smaller’, his body really began to shrink.
As soon as Yuma witnessed that amazing scene, she unconsciously put her palm to her mouth. It was a new kind of miracle to experience again.
“Umm…
Who could think of Hugo as the ordinary, sturdy man in front of me?
Hugo began to examine his body, which had become smaller with the pants he was wearing off.
Hugo, who temporarily became normal, was unexpectedly quite handsome.
And Yuma realized when he saw that he was a little shorter than himself.
That Hugo is really weak.
Yuma seemed to be able to win easily if he used the artifact to fight Hugo in a smaller state.
“Thank you. Yuma.”
“Uh… Oh no. Mr. Hugo.
While using it, you really lose your strength. Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. I’ll have to inform Zishka.”
Yuma looked at the unfamiliar and small Hugo and thought.
Love comes with pain, and those who love someone always have weaknesses.
