102. Shut up and stay still!
“Let’s see… I’m sure this is right?”
Orhel glared at the map and frowned.
Then he turned the map to the left and then to the right, looking around and repeating it over and over again.
Although there was no way I could find the way I had suddenly lost because of that.
The Salarion Plateau was a very vast area.
In addition, weeds that grew almost as tall as a person were blocking the view, making it difficult to distinguish between the front and back.
It was true that it was very difficult to find a specific area with only a map, as there were not many indicators.
However, everyone knew that it was possible if Orhel’s ability was sufficient.
In the Archdiocese, which is overflowing with data, they were playing around and eating, and trying to figure it out while on the move ended up like that.
“Have you found it yet?”
I glared at Orhel, who was glaring at the map.
Orhel waved his hand at him.
“Oh no! I found them all. Really, Brother.”
“The real thing is bullsh*t.”
“…That’s too much sh*t. Is it really right around here? Guys, just in case you don’t know, prepare for battle. Huh? What is that? You’ve prepared a lot.”
Orhel looked at Diaz, Grendel, and Andrew and turned around.
In fact, even right before we entered the Salarion Plateau here, we had matched the sum of defeating Morzadon’s monster.
As such, the monster of Morzadon was a very difficult monster to deal with.
There was a reason we prepared this far.
Morzadon’s monster was basically overwhelming in its specs.
It is said that the scythes on both arms are almost as sharp as monomolecular blades, and there is nothing that cannot be cut.
Insect-specific nimbleness adds to the weight of a giant god.
It was classified as a monster with fast speed and strong attack power, so to speak, hexagonal stats.
Even that wasn’t enough, he had intelligence.
Even if I add my abilities right now, Orhel, Andrew, Diaz, and Grendel…
‘I think the chances of losing are higher.’
As a deceased person, the judgment I made was, unfortunately, that we were at a disadvantage.
So we got a clear direction.
Line growth, then battle.
In order to deal with the monster of Morzadon, find Gauriel’s wings first and obtain them before the fight begins.
After that, find him and try to fight him.
Other than that, I couldn’t think of a smart way to deal with it.
Even so, it’s to the point where I’ve prepared an additional strategy…
Morzadon’s monster was such an annoying enemy.
Fortunately, we managed to find the location of Gauriel’s wings before he did…
That, too, means finding wings.
“Ehh. That’s why it would have been nice to have it done in advance.”
At my sigh, Orhel flinched and shrugged.
“No. Who would have known that I would read it all so quickly…”

“Kurrure……”
Under the ground in the Salarion Plateau.
There was a crouching creature that dug into the ground and hid under it.
The thing that looked like a giant praying mantis was a monster known in the world as the monster of Morzadon.
Originally, he intended to find Gauriel’s wings.
To fulfill the wishes of the giants.
Wipe out all the filthy things on this land, and for the world of the next generation that will lead anew!
However, Petriel, who was chasing her to the end, got in the way.
‘That winged weasel…! After all, it’s a hindrance to the end!’
The wings of Gauriel, who must be sleeping somewhere on this plateau.
Finding it by blood alone was never an easy task.
It was because even the monster of Morzadon, a colossus, couldn’t say that overturning the entire land this wide was an easy task.
What he needed was Arachne’s help.
The monster of Morzadon decided to borrow Arachne’s power to control the spider colony.
An infinite number of spiders ruled by the Spider Queen.
Because you gave the Spider Queen a ton of information.
It was actually thanks to Arachne’s information power that she narrowed the scope to the Salarion Plateau.
But……
‘Arachne suddenly became quiet…’
Her spiders kept asking for information.
It was cut off at some point.
‘It’s not going to be a betrayal.’
If this one worked out well, both sides would get what they wanted.
But the contact was suddenly cut off?
The monster of Morzadon had a hunch.
Arachne is dead.
And as far as Morzadon’s monster knew, there was only one person capable of such a thing.
An existence that had been doggedly attached to herself until now, and at the same time, even Arachne could not be matched.
‘Petriel…… a guy who won’t be enough even if he eats it!’
Perhaps, it seemed that Petriel took over the wings of the other Gauriel and completed six wings to become a whole.
So Arachne could not even escape and died.
If he was alive, he would have asked for help.
At the same time, that meant that Petriel had become so powerful.
‘A head-to-head match can be tiring.’
The monster of Morzadon came up with a trick.
Settling down under this plateau and waiting for Petriel.
No matter how perfect Petriel was, it would be difficult to avoid a fatal wound if she was attacked by an ambush that came out of the ground.

Just one room.
If only one shot was properly fed, Petriel would be greatly shaken.
Almost all of the vital organs were stopped, and the wait in the basement with no food or drink was enough for a week.
Finally, his sensors detected someone approaching.
Popularity felt in this place where people are rare.
He thought it must be Petriel.
However……
‘Is this… a human?’
It wasn’t Petriel.
It was just a bunch of humans.
Since Petriel moved with only one of his lieutenant angels, he was the monster of Morzadon who quickly recognized that it wasn’t him.
Realizing that he wasn’t the prey he was looking for.
The moment I stopped paying attention and tried to hold my breath again.
‘……!’
The monster of Morzadon flashed its eyes from the ground.
Let’s get a little closer to those who thought they were just a bunch of humans.
Could it be that his sensitive intuition is sounding a warning against the energy he had never thought of?
‘Vampire Lord?…’
And that wasn’t all.
It is hidden deep and vague.
It was clear.
Because he was a predator, preying on angels.
that’s why i knew
‘This is…… Gauriel’s divine power…!’
* * *
Orhel focused only on the map with a slightly depressed look.
After seeing that scene, who would think it was a vampire lord?
Truly… it was an unbelievable sight.
But then.
Suddenly, I felt a lively feeling on my nerves.
Right under your feet!
I hurriedly kicked the floor and screamed.
“Down! Ambush!”
to that sudden cry.
Everyone couldn’t even react properly.
Even Orhel, the fastest of these except for me, moved late in the retort.
Quagga gaga go!
It protrudes through the floor.
It looked like a well-forged scythe.
I could tell right away just by looking at a small part of it.
‘Monster of Morzadon!’
The one with a bloody, huge scythe like a praying mantis claw.
Because it was only the monster of Morzadon.
‘crazy! Did you have the ability to dig and hide while completely erasing the presence?’
Even at that moment when I clicked my tongue inside.
His claws flew in without mercy.
Chow ah!
Almost half of Orhel’s side was cut off.
“Cuck!”
Orhel’s blood splatters everywhere.
“Tongue, brother!”
“Orhel-sama…!”
“What, what is this…”
Andrew, Diaz, and Grendel collapsed in surprise and fell to the floor.
It was a natural result because even I, the most sensitive, could not detect it.
But the problem wasn’t them.
Because it was Orhel who was mortally wounded to the extent that it looked dangerous.
“Cuck!”
Morzadon’s monster squeezed the ground and rose, making a mess of the places we were stepping on.
Thanks to that, Orhel rolled on the floor with her body torn in half.
I screamed his name and opened my eyes.
“Orhel!”
And then I headed straight for him.
Andrew, Diaz, and Grendel stand in front of Morzadon’s monster.
I looked at Orhel.
“sh*t……!”
Orhel lay on the floor and looked up at me.
“I’m fine… cool! It’s fine, don’t worry about it and take care of him first, brother…”
Even as he spoke those short words, blood flowed backwards from Orhel’s mouth.
“It’s okay! Shut up and stay still! I’ll be back soon.”
“Uh, hey. Brother. I’m not dying. Don’t worry. Cool…!”
“Yes. I never thought you would die.”
I gritted my teeth and got up from my seat.
Then he turned his eyes towards the monster of Morzadon.
The sense of intimidation emitted by the monster of Morzadon was no joke.
It was to the point where I felt as if I was holding a gun and facing a tank right in front of me.
The momentum emanating from him was beyond imagination, enough to make me realize why the monster was included in the name.
Of course, Andrew, who has surprisingly a lot of combat experience.
Even Grendel and Diaz felt half frozen.
And the monster of Morzadon was not aware that Andrew, Diaz, and Grendel were nervous.
At the corner of his mouth, the fishy smile of a predator that caught easy prey caught on.
Despite his mantis-like face, I could tell at once that he was smiling.
He took Orhel’s bloody claws to his mouth and licked them.
“Kuh-kuh-kuh! It’s a waste. I was going to cut it in one blow…”
That one word made me even more angry.
I stepped forward past Andrew, Diaz and Grendel.
Then he whispered a little to them.
“Take a look at Orhel.”
“Ah, I see.”
The three of them, holding weapons against the monster of Morzadon, quietly backed away.
Conversely, I approached the monster of Morzadon.
The monster of Morzadon tilted his head and asked me.
“This is an interesting guy. I thought Petriel would appear with that power… but why do you, a human, have Gauriel’s aura? What did you do?”
However, I wasn’t in the mood to explain things like that in a good way.
“If you thought that a nice answer would come out of my mouth… you are mistaken.”
“Haa, is that so? Even if all the limbs are cut off, they don’t answer, where should I see if that kind of sound comes out?”
Grinding my teeth, I glared at Morzadon’s monster.
“I’ll say it. The thought of dying gracefully… put it away!”
At the same time, a golden spear imbued with lightning rose from my hand.
