Episode 346 Witch Beast (2)
When the wizard left, the man left alone laughed.
“It’s a big deal.”
I shouted that I would get out on my own, but looking at the monster in front of me, it seemed impossible.
However, I didn’t mean to give up.
It is said to be powerful, but the opponent is a monster, not a human.
If you continue the battle, there will definitely be some gaps.
The man raised his sword again with hope.
Then the monster attacked him with thick hands as if mocking him.
The man quickly knocked it off, but the monster’s power was mighty.
The new model of the man who hid himself using a sword as a shield was pushed back.
he coughed up blood.
“Cool!”
Black dead blood spurted out.
“Kuaaa!”
As the monster roared briefly, the internally wounded stomach rang.
He steadfastly endured him and prepared for the monster’s subsequent attack.
‘I have to react as quickly as possible.’
The moment the reaction is delayed, it will be directly linked to one’s own death.
The man slowly scanned the monster.
Its thick hide and three horns on its face look impressive.
I assure you, I’ve never seen a monster that looked like that in my life.
In addition, from the horns, even the energy of mana was weakly felt.
No, to be precise, it is something that is both mana and not mana.
The vaguely captured energy was ferocious and destructive.
Every time he faced the sword, his hands tingled.
As he pondered looking at the horn, the monster attacked again.
They are ready to destroy all the caves regardless of what they don’t like.
oh oh oh!
They walk on quadrupeds with both feet on the ground and run, but it seems that a cavalry unit is charging towards them.
The man was nervous and activated his mana.
“come!”
He has been living as a mercenary and has been fortified with numerous practical experiences.
The level of attack of the monsters that honestly rushed in a straight line was easily let go.
Kaaaang-!
Raise the sword face at an angle to deflect the horn.
The huge boulders inside were skillfully released.
It wasn’t that he didn’t take any damage at all.
When the sword and the horn met, it was a short moment, but the monster’s mana permeated.
This further exacerbated the internal injury.
“Cool!”
As he coughed up blood, small fragments of internal organs were peeped out.
The grip holding the sword was also torn.
Compare yourself with the skin on your hands breaking because you couldn’t handle the strength and the monster that is still staring at you.
He slowly raised an eyebrow.
“Anyway… it seems like this is the end.”
I have endured enough to endure.
At this rate, the stepbrother would have escaped the dungeon safely.
The man released the sword from his hand.
There was no more strength left to wield the sword.
The monster’s takgi penetrates inside, and the body does not move properly.
He dragged his slowly stiffening body and sat down on the wall of the cave.
He pulls out a bottle of alcohol he tucked around his waist and takes a sip of.
Carefully bring it to your mouth and quench your thirst.
Gulp— Gulp—
It’s a bottle of wine that’s been with you for a much longer time than your favorite sword that’s been with you on thousands of battlefields.
he stared straight ahead.
There was a monster running with its horns raised again.
‘You too survive. No matter what.’
With a small smile on his lips, he brought the drink back to his mouth.
That was his last appearance.
* * *
When the younger brother, the wizard, visited the dungeon again, it was when the monster was chewing on something.
The wizard covered his mouth with his hand.
“I can’t stand it…”
There was only a bottle of wine and a sword.
We’ve been together for over ten years, how can I not know?
It was a sworn brother’s thing.
With trembling hands, the wizard took the bottle into his bosom and howled.
“Uhhhh… Uhhhhh!”
He couldn’t even leave a corpse behind and was eaten by monsters.
When I thought of my older brother who must have died a lonely death in the dungeon, I couldn’t see anything.
When the wizard tried to cast magic right away, the mercenaries who were watching pitifully from behind hurriedly stopped him.
“Stop that! You know very well that you are not a monster that can be defeated by going out alone!” “Let go! Even if you kill that dog, you have to solve your brother! ”
“Calm down a bit! Why don’t you know that fighting together is not enough! Are you sure you intend to make your brother’s death in vain!”
Startle.
Only then did the wizard’s struggles stop.
He glared at the monster, exhaling heavily, and gritted his teeth.
“I will cut my throat with my own hand.”
“Let it be.”
Mercenaries lined up.
Even though they are mercenaries who are proficient in guerrilla warfare, when they are equipped with a display and a group, they show more majesty than that.
When they made up their minds and joined forces to face the monsters, a solid formation was completed.
The monster reacted to them.
Krrrr—
even Peer was mixed in with the low cry.
The mercenaries, who felt their bodies harden slightly, activated mana throughout their bodies.
“Go forward little by little.”
At the middle-aged horse with a shaggy beard, they narrow the distance step by step.
He put down the corpse that the monster was eating.
I lowered my body openly and took a lunging posture.
The monster that was aiming at them with a large horn rushed at once.
Aaaah—!
The mercenaries, who had been waiting until the distance was completely closed, reacted individually.
“Attack!”
When a mercenary with a mace strikes the monster’s foot, the balance is shaken for a moment.
Others took the gap.
He cut out the staggering monster’s ankle joint and swung his sword, leaving large and small cuts.
It was a minor blow considering that more than ten mercenaries raised their sword auras and rushed at it.
“It’s dirty hideous leather.”
“Don’t be hasty. Just kill it completely next time.”
The limping monster roared loudly.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Fireball!”
The magician’s fireball that had finished the chanting was thrown into the monster’s mouth.
When the fist-sized crater exploded, the monster’s mouth burned at once.
When the monster couldn’t wake up from the pain, the mercenaries attacked again.
Fu-wook!
Slowly—!
An eerie noise echoed several times, followed by the wizard.
“Fireball!”
The monster’s face was hit directly by the crater.
In unbearable pain, he stamped the floor.
Even so, the sorcerer’s chanting continued.
“Look! 이 개새끼야!”
At first, the monster struggled and resisted, but after being hit in the face with fireballs several times, it finally met its end.
The mercenaries said, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
“Dealing with monsters isn’t easy either.”
“It was the first time in my life that I knew that a guy like this existed.”
“Who knew? There must have been a monster of a type I haven’t seen before in a dungeon like this.”
“If I bring the leather and sell it, it will make some money.”
As they giggled and touched the monster, the middle-aged mercenary shook his head with a serious face.
“This is not a monster.”
“Grandpa, what is that? Aren’t they monsters no matter who sees them?”
Its horns and appearance itself are unfamiliar, but no matter how you look at it, it is a monster.
“It’s not a monster… This is…”
“Are you saying it’s a new species?”
I threw a joke to lighten the atmosphere, but the words that came back were very serious.
“This… the witch is certain.”
* * *
The news of the saint’s return spread throughout the Holy Land.
His return was good news for everyone, to the extent that some rural areas even held festivals.
Of course, the rumor reached Zeke’s ears.
He visited the saint’s mansion in a month.
Knock—
I heard a nostalgic voice from inside as I knocked on the door gracefully.
“come in.”
Knock-!
When I opened the door and entered, I saw the appearance of the master who had grown much more than before.
“Lord Lord!”
He approached me trembling and with a thrilled expression on his face, but a grown man couldn’t be so gross.
Ray backed away with a cold face.
“Don’t come any closer.”
Since coming to the Holy Land, Reida has experienced countless things like this.
Aristocrats who did not know their faces knelt down in tears, and priests exuding divine power prostrated themselves on the ground.
However, when even Zeke showed the same reaction as their initial symptoms, he had no choice but to hate it.
Zeke forgot his face and wiped away the tears with his sleeve.
“You are back at last! I had no doubt that my lord would return!”
“How have you been?”
“It was a sleepless night thinking about you, lord, but what you commanded went well. The Medical Academy has already grown to a level comparable to other academies, and the therapist qualification ceremony has also taken place.”
Ray nodded at Zeke’s words.
I heard about it from Eucliwood.
“good. The academy and the therapist’s work is on track, so there’s nothing to touch on, right?”
“yes.”
“So you’re saying it’s quite free?”
“……?”
An ominous feeling crept up.
Why should I feel this kind of emotion at the scene of a moving reunion?
After becoming a sword master, Zeke’s premonition was quite right.
As if to disprove him, Ray grinned.
“I have something new for you.”
“…just give me orders.”
Zeke got down on one knee.
Even while bending down, his hips kept moving, and if he gave an order, he would compete with the emperor of the Lesian Empire.
“Do you know why I came back to the holy kingdom?”
To Ray’s question, Zeke stiffly raised his head and answered without hesitation.
“Because he obviously misses us again…”
“That’s absolutely not the case.”
“yes.”
Why did she feel sorry for herself, leaving behind her sweet life with Aira and coming to meet the dark-skinned guys?
Ray sat down in a chair and poured tea.
Zeke, who carefully received him, waited in silence for his words to continue.
Ray, who was slowly savoring the scent of tea, spoke up.
“I plan to declare war on the entire continent with the power of the Holy Kingdom.”
“…yes?”
The answer from earlier was considerably shortened.
He, who usually never breaks his composure, was visibly flustered this time.
What are you talking about?
Seongguk declared war against the continent!
He just stared at Ray, not responding.
What followed was even more spectacle.
Ray put down the teacup and said seriously.
“That is the only way for Seongguk to survive.”
