53. Mole (2)
“Push…!”
““““Wow, wow, wow———!”””
The huge sewer entrance in Area W adjacent to Area X.
There were dozens of beggars tangled up and fighting.
The only weapons were clubs and knives, but nonetheless, none of those fighting were not fierce.
These were desperate. In order to grasp the strength and survival that he has.
“Look! Search! Get behind!”
“It was nice when you said there were too many pages! You bastards!”
“Where are you going to try again?”
Beep bib on the 2nd street in W area.
Aaron, the messenger on the 17th street in Sector W.
Bald Hammer on Street 25 in Sector W.
A scavenger mouse on Street 42 in Sector W.
A number of beggars led their men to attack the mole under Cant’s command.
Well, it was a natural result.
While the moles were accusing each other of expanding their power, Cant, who had a high reputation, showed up with all his possessions and suggested that we fight together.
What····. In addition to such a sentimental reason, there was one more realistic and direct reason.
“Max, Butter, Buddy, Milk. bite!!”
An old dog who had gone under the mole appeared and shouted.
The gentle dogs turned into wild beasts as soon as their owners gave orders, and ran away with their teeth exposed.
Crumble…. Kung-!! Kung-!!
Carree…! month! month-!!
Kung! Rulle—! Crumble!!
Kung! Kung! Kareuk—!
“Come on, wait a minute. Aww-! my legs! Leg!!”
“Fuck! my dick! fuck dick! take this off! Take it off! aah-!!!”
The Union of Beggars, which had been pushing forward with the advent of ferocious dogs, faltered for a moment.
After all, would I say that he was a dog old man who spent his whole life as a strong man in Area W?
Meanwhile, five or six beggars appeared at the entrance, armed with shotguns, revolvers and pistols.
“You bastards! Your beggar and us have different equipment. Equipment!”
“I’ll turn them all into beehives! Search!”
I pulled the trigger with him… No, I was trying to pull it.
[Shadow Spike]
The shadow that stretched out along with the young chant.
With him, stakes rose from the floor and pierced the bodies of beggars with guns at the same time.
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
“··········!”
Oliver with a hood over his face appeared from among the frightened beggars.
As soon as the mole-side beggars saw Oliver using black magic, they were immediately frightened.
The only one who had the courage was the old dog.
“Guys! bite!”
However, it was only the owner who had the courage.
The ferocious dogs were terrified as soon as they saw Oliver, no joke, they folded their ears, curled their tails, and crouched.
“Keeping…”
“Hey, guys?”
“Dogs and warlocks seem scary.”
Quarterstaff Cant came up in front of the old dog and said.
“Ha, Mr. Bringing a warlock means bringing a real warlock, not just a pattern warlock.”
“Half right, half wrong.”
“What?”
“I’ll explain later, for now, go to sleep.”
Cant wielded his quarterstaff with him to stun the old dog.
Oliver stared at it silently, but Cant said in an excuse.
“…because it’s the priest’s friend.”
“ah····.”
Someone came out from among the beggars.
He was bald with a beard and was a hammer head on the 25th street.
“Good! good!! good!!! I’ve brought a really decent Warlock! cant!”
Hammer holding the sledgehammer looked into Oliver’s eyes and said.
“If there had been a person like this earlier, I wouldn’t have brought them here! Then, I wouldn’t have been eating for a while.”
“·····. It’s not that easy.”
“hahaha! Right. If you are like this, yes…! Come on, cubs! Let’s go break the heads of the rest of the mole cubs!”
“aah-!”
With Hammer in the lead, the beggars again entered the mole’s den.
The mole beggars guarding the sewer passage were immediately pulled out, thanks to which Cant’s beggars’ confederation flowed in.
Of course, Cant followed along with Oliver.
“It’s amazing. I hoped when you said that, but moles really must have nested here.”
“Yes?”
Cant said, examining the dry sewer wall.
“Did I tell you last time? Landa has gone through a big mess in the past.”
“Yes····. What a disaster.”
“Yes, there are many reasons, such as divine punishment, summoning demons, failed magic experiments, etc. It was a cursed ruin until wizards and capitalists rebuilt the city.”
“Yes, I remember.”
“But, it doesn’t mean that everything was rebuilt again. Occasionally, polluting creatures appear in places where people are scarce or abandoned for a long time. It was here once.”
“……Then, now?”
“I mean, that’s the problem… If the moles are using this as a den, it would be a reasonable inference that they have the power to clean up the polluting creatures living here. Truly as rumored-”
“-aah!”
Before Cant could finish speaking, a scream could be heard in front of him.
More specifically, it was a huge space at the end of the sewer passage,
Surprisingly, a creature larger and more monstrous than a human was attacking the friendly beggar.
KIhahahaHA!
Kihahaha—!
Kihahaha—!
A creepy and disgusting cry.
It was like a hairless mouse.
Between 2m and 3m in height.
He had wrinkles all over his body and had reddish skin that looked like he had a skin disease.
The orange incisors were very long, which gave me goosebumps, but it was nothing compared to an open stomach and pus and maggots flowing from the body.
It was so monstrous that the huge iron nail and the flask containing life force were relatively inconspicuous.
“Oh my God…”
Hammer, who was leading the way, trembled in fear and disgust, and sought God.
In a way, it was a natural reaction, as that strange, unknown creature was eating the stomach of a fellow beggar alive.
Clap- Clap- Clap- Clap- Tuk- Clap- Clap- Clap-
The flesh, intestines, and blood of the person who had been grinded through the open stomach flowed out one after another.
Then, someone said.
“These motherfuckers…. Are you coming into my kingdom?”
A man with a small baton in one hand and an eyeball necklace around his neck appeared from among the monsters.
Someone called him a mole.
The monster wrinkled its abominable nose as if it was hungry and pushed its jaw towards the mole, but for a moment.
Chee!
As it tried to bite the mole with its jaws, the monster shook its head as if in pain.
“Are you dealing with that monster…?”
Someone said surprised.
The mole murmured with an increase in momentum.
“Yeah, you bastards. Do you think I would have trusted only beggars who gave money? I’d rather be fine I’ll clean it all up right now. Are you hungry?! Eat!”
Dozens of polluted creatures rushed in.
The beggars shouted desperately as they turned around the way they came.
“Black Mage! okay! Call the Warlock!”
“A Warlock?! Ha ha ha-! It doesn’t matter which one you brought! You can’t kill them all with erratic firepower. Compared to him behind me-!”
[Vine Shadow]
The polluted creature running along with Oliver’s beckoning was tied to the shadow tentacles.
hey hey hey profit–!
Chewy profit–!
aa
The monsters glowed and groaned, but the more they did, the more the shadow tentacles that rose to the floor put pressure on the monsters.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only the beggars who had just run away, but also the moles, who were talking vigorously, had a bewildered expression on their faces as they were so easily subdued.As if he did not understand the situation in front of him.
“uh····?”
While everyone was silent at the heterogeneous sight, someone spoke.
“Wait, excuse me.”
Oliver appeared with a hood on his head.
He politely asked the beggars and went forward.
The beggars froze and walked away as Oliver told them to, and Oliver thanked each time.
Oliver, who appeared in front of everyone like that, said while looking at the monstrous creature that had been captured.
“Five····. What is this?”
Cant replied with a sense of absurdity and fear.
“…naked rat. A polluting organism that lives in an abandoned sewer system. Although his rank is low, he’s still a dangerous guy that hunts people. I hunted a few times when I was a solver.”
Oliver nodded and looked at the naked mouse.
It seems that the bad smell and the ugly appearance have nothing to do with it.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, he didn’t seem to have recognized that before.“…is it interesting? We designed an easy-to-control animal into a zombie so that control could be passed on to someone other than a magician, and it was designed to be more stable and durable through starvation rather than anger or hatred. Impressive.”
Oliver said while tapping his open stomach, iron nails in his head, and flasks with condensed vitality.
The starvation-stricken naked mouse zombie smashed its large incisors to bite Oliver who was observing him, but Oliver watched with interest as well.
“Being a zombie and hungry, hunger is never satisfied. Unsatisfied desires become the driving force for movement. Simple but effective. I think he’s a good warlock.”
“Hey, that’s a terribly bad story.”
“is that so?”
“In our perspective···. I’m sorry, but can you get rid of those monsters? Everyone is scared.”
Oliver looked at the naked mouse as if it was a pity, and reached out his hand in the air.
Then, the vitality of the naked rat zombie was extracted as it was.
It could be said that it was completely suppressed, but it was still great. The parties were not aware of it.
“··········!!!”
Oliver felt his gaze for a moment and turned his head towards the mole.
“Well···. Cant. I want to take a look at it personally, can I take care of it?”
“… Warlock-sama at will. Rather, I have to count now.”
Cant said, pointing at the mole’s neck as a quarterstaff.
Before long, the heads of other streets also stood next to Cant. They seem to have a ball.
The mole, whose weapon he believed in was so easily suppressed, looked embarrassed, but he did not lose his courage.
until you get hit.
“Ugh-!”
When Cant stabbed the myeonggi with a quarter staff, the other heads were pounded.
After some fanning, Cant asked, grabbing the mole by the neck.
“I would never have picked up a monster like that, and I would have gotten it, but what the hell did you do with it? And what are you going to give it in return?”
“crazy···. What if the beggar finds out about you?”
“Only answer the questions asked.”
“Ugh…. Okay, that’s right, I gave away the overflowing garbage here, and I got money and that monster as well.”
With those words, Cant grabbed the mole’s neck.
He was very angry, but the mole never lost his voice.
“Shut up…! Conversely, do not suggest Come join me.”
“What?”
“Let’s hold hands with me…. I’m sorry for now, so I’m proposing. The warlock you brought with you seems unusual, but the back of mine is also unusual. So let’s work together here.”
“What kind of bullshit-”
“It’s not bullshit. He’s the kind of person who can kill us all if he wants to. I just didn’t like being exposed, so I just supported me. I am no ordinary warlock!”
“Five···. What kind of warlock are you?”
Oliver interrupted suddenly.
The other heads retreated to the intervention of the warlock, who played an overwhelming role.
“ha··. ha···. He is about to join the Black Hand.”
“What is a black hand?”
The mole made an awkward expression.
“·····. Warlock doesn’t know the black touch? Don’t lie.”
“You really don’t know? Do you know what Cant is?”
Cant also had a mole-like expression on his face.
“uh····. Simply put, it’s a criminal organization dominated by warlocks, and it’s a huge axis in the afterlife. Do you really not know?”
“Yes····. Did I make a mistake?”
“No, it’s not…”
Then, a mole intervened.
“Heh heh heh… Let’s have a more serious conversation. I didn’t know what a black hand was and brought a warlock to support… If you kill me, you die too, so-”
“-lie.”
Oliver intervened.
“·····What?”
“It’s a lie. I don’t even know this one. Will you get revenge when you die? won’t you?”
“…are you pretending to see through my feelings if you have some skill?”
“No, I’m just looking… How else can I meet him? Someone who is joining the Black Hand.”
“····hahaha, it seems that the visible thing disappeared after you suppressed me. You want to meet him?”
“Yes.”
“He comes only when he wants to. And it just won’t come. Appearing with his horrific work, you… what are you doing?”
The mole said as he watched Oliver take his necklace.
Oliver stared at the necklace.
“ah····. Also.”
“Something?”
“It’s not just a necklace. It is the watcher’s eye.”
“What?”
“I saw it in a book. It’s made from human eyeballs, so you can see this place from afar.”
After finishing the explanation, Oliver looked at the eyeball in the center of the necklace.
The stuffed eyes didn’t respond, but they were clearly felt in Oliver’s eyes.
A being who sees itself beyond this.
As the concentration gradually increased, the vision of ordinary humans disappeared, and the vision of the warlock became clear.
When his concentration reached a certain level, Oliver could feel the presence of this place in the distance.
It’s like, is it the only white line that connects in a black world?
Perhaps, the other party also felt Oliver.
Cant looked at Oliver worriedly and asked.
“…are you ok?”
“·····Yes. I’m going to go see him for a while.”
