Episode 97. Seven Paladins (7)
Uninvited guests came at dawn.
“It smells like fishy and rotten fish…. “It looks like they found this place.”
The first thing I noticed was Lakhe.
The girl who was sleeping peacefully next to me opened her bright yellow eyes, jumped up, and picked up her meteor sword.
– Hmm.
This series of processes happened so quickly. I only came to my senses for a few seconds.
“It’s an enemy attack!”
“Monsters are coming to the fence!”
In a half-asleep state, I was strapped to my belt with a racket and listened to the shouts of the residents. Seeing the cold sweat dripping from their heads and their quivering lips makes me lose sleep.
The expression on a person’s face of fear was that powerful.
“Hey, what’s going on? I was trying to get some sleep… “
Hannah grumbled and came out in her pajamas. It’s a good thing she’s carrying a sword and shield.
“Which one?”
The Dina Special Forces appeared next, and they all came out fully armed. As soon as she heard the sound of enemy raids, she seemed to start getting dressed.
“There must be about twenty people.”
Before I knew it, I saw Lakhe and the enemies arriving in front of the fence. Sea monsters armed with various weapons were coming this way through the reed fields.
I get angry when I see people proudly wearing accessories made of human bones.
What is the Black Coral Tribe? They are just cannibals. There is no title more fitting for these guys than sea monster.
– …
There were too many reasons to ask how they found this place.
You may have heard Beatrice’s voice in the city, or you may have seen the Lachena Dina commandos that arrived in Matva yesterday. The reeds we trampled on our way here together may have been a hint.
“Shall I kill you?”
Lakhe asked, her eyes shining brightly. The blade is as blue as the blade of the meteor sword that took shape.
– Then.
At this time, I thought of ‘Master, shall we handle it?’ And gave the permission order, feeling a little disappointed.
Gozaburo, get out of my head!
Blame!
Lakke, who easily climbed over the fence, rushed at them, and the weapons of the Hanna and Dina commandos who joined them flashed light.
Did you say that the average combat power of sea monsters is that of a low-level demon? These seven members are the elite of the elite who have captured the lower ranks to the point of exhaustion.
“Kwaak!”
Even the weakest Hannah easily cut them into pieces. There was no need to mention the Lakena Dina Special Forces.
hahahaha!
Lakhe moved around without hesitation, cutting off the guys’ heads with a single slash of his sword.
“Noose of Light!”
“Light explosion!”
“Shock reflex!”
The Dina Special Forces also stormed the battlefield, shouting out the name of the skill. I still can’t get used to that.
I heard Noah say that shouting the name makes the skill more effective, but I couldn’t help but cringe as if I was watching a Japanese shonen cartoon from the 2000s.
Is that what the goddess likes? Aren’t you a female otaku?
“This is all taken care of.”
More than twenty sea monsters were all eliminated within a few minutes. No one has any injuries.
“I caught one.”
Hannah pointed to the last remaining sea monster. He was the one who collapsed after being stabbed in the leg by Hannah’s sword.
… I don’t think hostage-taking will work for them.
“M-Malak… ! Why!”
The sea monster that was glaring at Lakhe and me opened its mouth.
No, honestly, I’m not sure if he’s glaring at me. Its crab eyes were round and bright like beads.
“I am a believer who serves Tuga and Loa! “I heard that you are in a relationship with Asha, but why did you join hands with the civilized people?”
No, what does it mean? They unilaterally said, ‘We’re getting married! From now on, I am your bride. Oh Hong Hong.’
– You and Tuga are causing chaos on the earth.
To put it bluntly, it is a hindrance. It’s terrible and disgusting.
“Betrayal… This is betrayal! “How could Loa do something like this!”
The guy spit out his anger. It’s so unfair that I’m foaming at the mouth.
– You are one who has deviated from the human path. I am not your loa, and you are not my disciple. It’s just a being no different from a devil. It is better for you to disappear for the safety of the earth.
Cannibals and the like cannot become my believers. It will only cause conflict and anxiety and divide the tribal alliance.
All malicious seeds must be removed.
“Well, that could be…” ! Ugh… !”
The shock was so great that I can’t even speak properly anymore. Is this what a human being rejected by God feels like?
I didn’t say this just to give him a mental shock.
“…”
Look at the expressions on the faces of Hannah, Dina Special Forces, and Matba residents who are quietly watching this situation. You’re looking at me with eyes full of faith and trust.
Favorable works are originally done this way.
” !”
The monster’s body shakes after biting into too much foam. I think the vibration totem is this guy, not me.
Has Asha taken any magical measures? Aren’t you going to self-destruct if you do that? … This could be dangerous.
– I don’t think there’s anything he can find out. Deal with it.
We knew how many of them they had seen. No need for hostages.
Lake’s meteor sword passed through the guy’s neck. The guy’s head was cut off with a bang and rolled on the floor.
You need a head to turn him into a zombie, but since I don’t know what might happen, I ordered him to cut off his head cleanly.
The brainless body convulsed for a moment and then collapsed. Fortunately, no surprises occurred.
“…I guess I’ll have to revise my plan.”
Dinah looked troubled.
Well, I wasn’t really surprised or upset. It’s always been like this.
Every time I tried to do something, bastards like tunnel demons, shadow demons, dark clouds, and Charon would jump out and interfere.
It was like that not only here but also on Earth. No matter how hard you make a plan and put it into action step by step, there are many times when a small variable that suddenly appears causes the whole plan to go wrong.
In times like this, you just have to accept it quickly and move on.
– The war has begun.
If twenty people don’t come back, any idiot will realize that there is an enemy here. There’s no way you won’t know where your tribe’s warriors are roaming around.
‘…Malak.’
Look. Haven’t you already received a call from Asha?
‘Why did you make that judgment…? ?’
It was a voice filled with small anger and great disappointment. They must have discovered this situation using magical means.
‘I’m twenty. Twenty of my companions, warriors who would be loyal to Malak and who would defeat the demon, lost their lives. ’
I laugh out loud. What kind of heroes are these damn cannibals?
Of course, from Asha’s perspective, they must have been like that. In fact, even murderers and dictators are good fathers and husbands when they go home.
‘Why… ? They were people who more purely than anyone else hoped for the revival of our people. ‘If it were Malak’s orders, they were brave warriors who would fight ahead of anyone else.’
No answer was given. I didn’t want to get involved with Asha in response to this nonsense.
It’s unpleasant to hear the sound of a pervert’s breathing up close.
Asha’s heavy breathing can be heard. It looks like the fever has gone up quite a bit.
‘Good. It is a wife’s role to correct all of her husband’s mistakes. I will clearly show you how weak civilized people are and why your choice was wrong.’
With those words, Asha’s prayer ended.
I was very angry. He’ll probably come in person. I’ll call all the warriors there as well.
– Get ready. There are only a few hours left.
It must be assumed that Asha, having made her preparations before morning, comes to this village. She can’t rest.
“Well, I did warm up lightly though.”
Gukbap smiles and wipes the blood on the hammer with a cloth. It was the work of a skilled killer, or rather, a warrior.
“Ah… “Then I’ll put on some armor and come back.”
Hanna, blushing as she realized she was the only one wearing her pajamas, went back into the house, and Dina exchanged looks with her colleagues as if she was losing her fighting spirit.
“I could trample on that arrogant crab b*tch’s head.”
Lake, you are always as relaxed and cool-headed as ever.
Perhaps because they are all professionals, they did not show any fear even in situations where they might die.
These are heroes. Noah and Siwoo should follow suit.
– Residents of Matva, for peace you must prepare for war. I am…
Sulreongi helped the Holy Knights prepare by wiping his mouth to reassure the residents.
***
“They are coming. “I’m wading through a field of reeds right now.”
Lake, who has extra senses that even level 8 user Dina cannot match, announced their appearance.
– Can you figure out the numbers?
“At least a hundred people.”
As expected, you brought everything with you. Asha planned to launch an all-out war.
“…”
Everyone waited for the signal inside the fence with tense expressions. It’s a crude fence, but it will buy me a little time, so I plan to use it as much as possible.
Soon after, they appeared.
“Malak.”
Asha was there, bigger and more powerful than when she first saw her.
