Episode 67 – It looks delicious.
67. It looks delicious.
Leon’s new model jumped out of the castle and glided in a gentle parabola.
Shhh!
The resistance of the cool early morning air was clearly felt.
The hood I was wearing was pulled back.
The hair pulled back flew like a lion’s mane.
Rainwater hit directly into his eyes, but he did not close them for even a moment.
The gaze was firmly fixed only on the target.
Boom!
As soon as my feet touched, the ground caved in.
He deployed the Cheonryeongbo with polarity and rushed towards the demonic beast.
An inverted triangle face with compound eyes, horns, and tentacles suddenly approached my eyes.
Chaeng!
The Cheonsaegeom jumped out of its sheath.
Whaaa!
The blue flame burned brightly over the sword body, pushing away the darkness.
Jecheongeombeop (制天劍法) 2nd form, modification.
Baekun Yeongcheon (百Cloud泳天).
Pararalalak!
Just as it was running.
Leon spouted a cloud towards that disgusting face.
It was also a strike thrown for exploration.
The devil’s response was simple.
With a surprisingly restrained movement, it raised its two large claws and used them as a guard.
Kwagagagagagagak!
Even though all sword attacks were placed on top of it.
There wasn’t a single scratch on the smooth exoskeleton.
Leon immediately thought of finding another weakness.
The carapace was harder than expected.
The guy launched a counterattack.
The long segmented body is stretched out to eliminate the gap.
At the same time, the claw fell like a hammer on Leon’s head.
It was so huge that it seemed as if the sky had been turned upside down by its pincers.
But.
“······.”
Leon did not attempt any evasion or defense at all.
I didn’t stop running.
Because I had strong faith.
It was trust in my colleagues.
Pajijijijing!
A circular protective shield rose in layers on top of Leon.
Kkwagwagwagwagwang-!
The claw struck the shield immediately.
An eerie bursting sound and vibration poured down from the top of my head.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
One, two, and three.
The claw lost its strength after breaking exactly three layers of barrier.
Even if it’s just 1 second late.
Or even if the barrier had been lacking even one layer, Leon would have been reduced to a piece of minced meat.
Leon was confident in Aria’s calculations.
Thanks to that.
In a moment where the barrier holds up.
Leon was able to reach right in front of the demon beast.
“Keeeik!”
For the first time, it let out a howl like a demonic beast.
I felt bewilderment and surprise in that loud noise.
A bundle of thin tentacles started from the snout and covered a wide area in front.
Paang-!
As soon as Leon accelerated, he straightened his body and lay down on his back.
Chrrr!
The guy’s tentacles swept over the location where Leon was one step late.
The soil, soaked from the heavy rain, was slippery as if it had been lubricated.
His body, which slid for a long time, was sucked under the beast’s body.
Chaaa-!
His back is on the floor, his feet are facing forward and his head is facing backwards.
On both sides of the field of view, thin, long, multi-jointed legs were stacked up like ribs.
The beast’s belly was clearly visible in the front.
A part where the flesh is straight and not covered with crust.
“It looks delicious!”
Leon smiled brightly and sharply thrust his sword into it.
The blade, coated with a dark sword, was driven inward without resistance.
Puhwaaa!
With Leon gliding quickly, the demonic beast’s stomach began to be torn apart horribly.
* · * *
Same time.
“······!”
Riel stiffened her face and put her hand on her sword.
The earth spirit she controlled sent her signal.
Something is coming here.
She winked at the crew behind her.
The eight members nodded and each took out a weapon.
Riel also pulled out her sword with her eerie eyes.
Soon.
Whaaa!
An energy welled up from somewhere and spread throughout the area.
The scope exactly covered the area in charge of Riel’s group.
It was a heavy, dull energy.
Riel realized that this was a high-quality sound absorbing membrane.
Prevents any sound from escaping.
You even resort to such tricks.
Even the communication device would be useless in here.
Riel realized.
If a person dies horribly, noise is created in some way.
However, the reason why the residents of Priville could not hear anything during the night was definitely because of this tent.
The presence began to multiply from all directions.
Across dark alleyways, everywhere.
Humans covered in white robes crawling out like ants.
At first glance, the number seemed to be over twenty.
Even at this moment, it was still increasing.
‘Dang Choi, where did so many come from?’
Riel’s eyebrows tilted.
Mukwoldae searched the entire Freeville during the day.
But so many people were hiding.
These enemies appeared almost as if they were falling from the sky.
Riel looked at their faces.
‘······That’s strange.’
I immediately felt a strong sense of heterogeneity.
It was significantly different from ordinary robbers or thieves.
‘Prayer is ordinary.’
Their bodies are unbalanced and untrained.
Not a single bit of mana was detected.
There were no weapons hidden in the tight, wet robe.
Almost like an ordinary person.
However.
Only their eyes were completely abnormal.
The focus continued to fluctuate, and the pupil dilated and contracted repeatedly.
The eyeballs, which were lined with thread-like veins, glowed and shined even in a dark environment.
Something is lacking, and one has lost one’s sense.
The look you only see when dealing with drug addicts.
‘Brainwashing? ‘Mind manipulation?’
I roughly expected it to go that way.
Riel, having reached her own conclusion, parted her lips.
“Reveal your identity. “Are you the main culprits in the murder case here?”
“””······.”””
“If you don’t answer, I will assume that you are and attack.”
“””······.”””
There was no reply.
Among these many people, no one seemed to open their mouths.
“All ready, ready for battle.”
Of course, Riel didn’t care at all.
I was convinced that those crazy people were blood donors.
It was just something I said out of courtesy.
Before I knew it, the surroundings were surrounded by white figures that were slowly approaching.
“The goal is annihilation, not repulsion or area shooting.”
They could be secretly hiding somewhere and meeting the conditions for the magic circle.
It was right to kill anyone on sight.
“Go.”
“””Yes!”””
Pabababat!
The crew spread out in all directions.
Jin-hyung, of course I didn’t try to pass the exam.
What are you doing against ordinary people without weapons?
Also, the purpose is annihilation, not defense.
Considering the enemies spread out here and there, each battle was right.

Towoong-
Riel also launched a new model in response to the influx of crews.
As the Mukwoldae moved, the white-clothed enemies also began to charge.
But the speed was unusual.
The posture was clearly sloppy, but the force in the legs did not belong to the criminal.
“·······?!”
Although Riel felt puzzled, he swung his sword horizontally at the enemy in front.
It was a murderer who cut off his head in one go, matching the speed at which he was running.
The option of suppression was not even considered.
However.
Easy profit-
Even though a knife is flying at my throat.
There was not a single trace of fear in his eyes.
He was just fixating his bright eyes on the person in front of him.
Shut up!
A solid red line is engraved on the neck.
His head was tilted and fell down.
As he was dying, he stretched out his right arm in his last moments.
It was a position aimed at Riel’s heart.
Like that of an animal.
The outstretched hand has sharp, long nails.
Through dark red veins were sticking out on the back of his hand.
“What.”
Riel was not given time to panic.
Ta-da-da-da-da-!
Even after seeing their comrade die in a single blow, the blood donors still rushed at them like a pack of dogs.
There was no fear in their movements.
Riel bit her lip and swung her sword.
Wow!
The entire shoulder of one blood donor member was blown away by the turquoise sword energy.
However, the guy didn’t even hesitate for a moment.
Immediately I threw out a strike with my remaining arm.
The discolored fingernails created five black trails.
However, Riel is also a worn-out mercenary who has fought numerous battles.
Not surprised by the enemy’s boldness, he bent down to avoid him and then slammed his shoulder into his chest.
Wow!
With a dull sound, it flew backwards as if being shot.
Wudangtangtang!
The guy rolled on the floor more than three times.
The dirt from the muddy road was smeared, staining his white robes a mess.
However.
The guy immediately got up and lunged at Riel again.
There was no screaming, shouting, or fighting.
It was like seeing an undead insensitive to pain and death.
Wow! Phew!
In the meantime, Riel, who had cut down two more enemies, shouted.
“Aim for the vital spot that can kill you instantly!”
Of course.
Because the name Mukwoldae was not false, the members were already doing the same.
However, it was tricky.
Enemies that blindly stick to you without any hesitation.
The madness of giving up one’s bones to tear off even a little bit of flesh.
A strange physical ability that seems to be more than twice that of an ordinary person.
Even threatening claws used instead of weapons.
There was a gap in skill that could be overcome within two or three sums.
The waves of enemies coming in like zombies made the crew struggle.
– aaa!!!
An ear-piercing scream erupted from somewhere.
If you look at the sound being transmitted, it must be inside the area.
They are capturing and killing a person to mediate the magic circle.
“Damn.”
Riel spread her black energy and spat out her curse.
I want to rush there right away and stop it.
The enemy’s offensive was stronger than expected.
The number blocking our path continued to increase no matter how quickly we killed them.
Quad!
She jumped high and plunged her sword into the mouth of the falling bastard and took out her communicator.
“The enemies are numerous! I need support!”
– ······.
Of course, there was no reply.
The operating sound-absorbing membrane even rendered the communication device inoperable.
“Damn.”
Riel roughly threw the communicator between the enemy’s eyes.
Boo!
The man died with thick blood spraying from his head.
Riel thought as she picked up her communicator again.
‘What about the great lord?’
Honestly, they are the ones who are struggling.
If it were Hera, she would be able to take out all of these enemies in less than a minute.
Is she also being dragged by something?
At that time.
———!!
A powerful energy wave burst out that made Riel’s whole body tremble.
West of the city.
It was in the direction where Hera’s area was located.
