130 – 130. Winds of Plague (12)
“Sorry, I can’t give you any other answer than this.”
“Huh… This young man is so…”
No matter how much Cain tried to conciliate, he didn’t waver like a stone Buddha and stuck to the same answer.
Even though she said she would ask Senia for a medicine that could cure Lumia and bring it to her.
“The situation is not so easy for us sirens either. There is a reason why I have to ask you.”
“Sorry.”
“The Sirens and Rumia are also for the sake of living. You should have understood that clearly, so why are you trying to close your ears?”
“…Sorry. For some reason, we can’t give you Lumia’s location.”
He doesn’t pay much attention to others, and doesn’t yield anything if it’s related to Rumia.
That was Cain’s way to protect Lumia.
But it was a really hard way.
With a heart for just one person, the man’s tenacity to shut all mouths against a sinner who will not receive any reward is worthy of praise.
However, shouldn’t we be aware that the neatly arranged back-and-forth relationship and the situation each person is facing are heading towards evil?
Trying to block all this information from your ears as if you hadn’t even heard it was very heartbreaking for the other party.
“We must face reality. Cain, we…”
The situation does not change even if Senia steps in.
The two of them tried to convince him somehow, but Cain would never mention Lumia’s location at this meeting.
Then, a sudden earthquake came upon them as well.
“What! An earthquake out of nowhere…!”
“Are you okay, senpai?”
“I’m fine. More than that, the elder, hurry up and hide under the table!”
“…”
Even though his body is reeling from the earthquake, the elder steadfastly heads outside.
“Elder…? What are you doing!!”
“It’s dangerous! If something collapses there…!”
Senia wondered why the earthquake was approaching the outside in the middle of it, thinking that he was flirting for no reason. However, she confirmed a sudden agitation instead of flirtation with the old siren.
It was an agitation tinged with fear just like the one seen by the two sirens who brought Cain earlier.
What did you see over there?
“Oh, my God…”
“Elders!”
After looking around his head several times, the elder finally grabbed the doorknob that he had opened amidst the earthquake and knelt down with a broken voice.
The quake was slowing down little by little, but that meant there was something in that direction.
And the moment I saw the gap and set foot on her.
─Kyaaa!!!!
─aaa!!
From both men and women, screams began to cover the entire lake.
“Hello… Is it wrong…”
“What is it, Elder. What did you see?”
“Senia…”
The elder’s eyes were opened. Those eyes that seemed to have lost everything couldn’t figure out anything.
However, it was possible to guess.
‘I said I was a bit uneasy…’
That’s why I wanted to ask about the fact that the Siren’s unity has weakened since then or why they are strangely nervous…
Perhaps, it must have been fear that came to the sirens.
“Hey Cain!”
“I got it! Let’s go!”
Perhaps this fear is contagious to the entire Siren, it will spread like a plague throughout the village.
She grasped what was going on right away and the only ones she could use her hands on were herself and Cain.
***
With the sudden echo of the earthquake, all the sirens guess what is coming.
It is a disaster itself to the Sirens.
“Those rats! Run away!!”
In the midst of everyone screaming and busy taking care of themselves, well-trained combatants do not exist.
It was the moment when the weaknesses they had captured from those who had always relied on only one method, Hyplicia, were exposed.
“Oh my God… I can’t… The barrier is…”
“It’s never been like this before! No matter how much I shake the cultivated land, it’s never collapsed this much…”
“Stupid… He’s changed…”
“What…?”
“They’re different sizes! He’s getting bigger and bigger!”
His size, which had been growing every time, was now big enough to destroy 30% of the barrier of Hyplicia.
Shanberesh, the mother of Devourer who is determined to devour the sirens, is no longer affected by the weakness of the barrier.
The barrier of Hyplicia created by the sirens is shattering without a shadow.
The mother doesn’t even need to step out, as if the devourers were aiming for it, it pops out of the huge burrow and smacks its lips in the direction of the prey.
“It’s over… It’s over…”
I don’t even have the strength to fill the barrier anymore.
It is impossible to train combat workers, so those who can barely hold a weapon and wield it will only have a few minutes at most.
The residents began to fall into despair one by one, and as the unmanageable amount poured in, the Devourers broke into the village.
“This, this…!”
“Damn it! Did I miss it!”
“Madam, get away from there!!”
I screamed that much, but my two stiff legs didn’t move.
“Mom…?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Nella? Never look back and run, okay?”
– Jjiik!!
Close your eyes tightly. Realizing that they were destined to be degraded to one meal soon, I only hoped that my child would be safe.
However, the voices of the two people who have just arrived reach the mother’s ears instead of the cries of the frenzied debaurer ahead of her prey.
“Se, Senia…”
“Wake up, ma’am!”
“Senior, I think you should join us!”
The one who suddenly appears and saves Nella’s mother does not have webbed ears or prominent scales.
The man who appeared with Senia was unmistakably human.
“Human? Escaped from the basement?!”
“He’s my colleague. Let’s stop the debauer first, when in doubt?”
“That’s right. Beasts come first.”
“That’s right. Rather than that, we have to make barriers first!”
Only then do you come to your senses and concentrate on what you are doing.
Because it’s not about believing in humans and trying to kill them, it’s because the priority is to save your life by cooperating right away.
‘But… What should I do?’
Her suspicions about Cain were put to rest on the grounds that she had to deal with Devourer immediately, but the rooted area of Hyplicia was too wide.
The destroyed barrier is that much weakened, and there is a limit to how long it can last with just this number of people.
I had to keep changing the battle situation.
“But can I not save the guy in the forest?”
“You can’t get it, man!”
“A guy in the woods… Has anyone else gone into the woods?”
It may be that some of the residents are isolated because they go in and out of the forest.
But…
“What is that? Senia There’s a guy just like you!”
“…Yes?”
“───, ───!”
Without hearing more, no other words were heard.
It’s the same guy. Where is the person like you here?
Speaking of human beings, the range is so wide that it is impossible to single out one person. Who else has that much in common?
At that moment, anxiety rose. Come to think of it, I jumped out of the place where the elder was staying and on the way to this place, I couldn’t see him.
No way.
What do you have in common with Calix?
“Senia!”
“Senia senior!”
Taking out the medicine bottle she had kept in her bosom as a spare and pouring it from her head, Senia ran into the dark forest.
“Not twice… Twice…!”
Shouldn’t be…
Even in this lifetime, I can’t leave you with the debt of the Siren!!
***
It was a crowd.
This time, unlike then, nothing existed.
No comrades to fight with, no geographical advantage, no Mystellis prepared.
I didn’t have any of that. But.
“Kuh…! I’ve been asking, what should I do? I don’t think I have a head.”
– Jjiik!!
“You think you’ll get infected and die soon? Try biting it a hundred times. Even then, it won’t work for me.”
Nevertheless, I must stay here.
I know very well that it is impossible to stay here alone, but this is rather the way I can live.
The bastards can only hurt me if they stare at me, who is immune to the Remteert Plague.
Then there is only one thing I will mark.
Kung-! Thud-!
“Where, you bastard… Do you think I’m just going to watch that?”
Shanberesh of Plague.
If you mark at least one mother of that giant, you can try raiding by gradually reducing the number of Devourers.
Compared to that time, the power is overwhelmingly weak, but with Senia and Cain, it’s a worthy attempt.
Queee!!
“Ugh…! It must be stuffy? Seeing him cry so much that his ears rang.”
I use my magic shield like a barrier to keep it from digging its burrow.
As the road leading to the lakeside was blocked through the burrow the mother had dug, Shanberesh and the Devourers were very excited.
“Then you have to deal with me. I’m not going that way!”
Koo-ung!
“Okay. Let’s keep playing with me.”
Unlike the nimble chicks, its body is quite heavy, so if you focus only on avoiding it, you can take your time.
In addition, because the main force of the punitive force came forward and swept away the quantity, their quantity did not have the same status as before.
Of course, it’s difficult, but… I hope that all the humans and sirens on the lakeside work together to make it this far.
I’ll end it all here.
For the Lemtert Plague to disappear, the breath of the new mother, which has been passed down inevitably, must be stopped.
While I’m holding out here, I just need them to arrive and attack.
There was a time when I thought so.
“…?!”
Just now, Shanberesh’s movements were strangely different.
What is it?
They are demons. It simply has instinct, so it goes to find another prey that is no longer here.
Thus, the Devourers, knowing that I am not their prey, are splitting up and heading to the lakeside, and thanks to this, I am the only one here.
In that case, only Shanberesh, who does not have the same power, is facing me, so why is the pattern different?
Couldn’t they have reached this point by driving out the Devourers after they had already finished their unity?
‘No. No matter how you look at the footsteps…’
It was small enough to be seen as one person, not many.
One person who appeared nearby was … Senia, who covered her body with a blue liquid.
This is… The worst.
“Junon!”
“You fool…! Go back now!!”
“What? What is that…”
Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
Before Senia can even ask what she’s talking about, the ground rumbles. In the eyes of Shanberesh, who had caught her new prey, I would no longer be seen.
As if she was aiming for it, the ground collapses in the hole she dug there, and Senia, who lost her balance, falls into the hole of death opened between the crevasses.
That’s no way!
Tup.
“Kuh…!”
“Jyu, Junon…”
There was no such thing as time to say anything.
My limit was to catch Senia’s hand as she was falling by moving her foot there as quickly as possible.
Her debowlers don’t flock to her because she’s covered in her Hyplicia solution. However, as feared, it seems that Shan Beresh hadn’t even started, he was waiting for Senia to fall with her eyes open red.
Koo-ung! Thud!
What the f*ck.
Shanberesh is about to drop Radsenia by breaking down her wall. It was really the end of the situation if even I lost her balance.
“…Leave it and run away. Junon.”
“What?”
“It’s my mistake. I’ll try to deal with that somehow, so if only the guys in the basement destroy the camp with your magic, you’ll be able to survive.”
Suddenly, Senia was talking about her.
