111 – In Cheonrihyang Village – 9
“What is that?”
A huge monster appears as it rises into the sky.
Even though it was several kilometers away, the monster’s shape was clearly visible.
And that monster was destroying Cheonrihyang Village.
A bright red fire is rising, and acrid smoke is coloring the sky whitish.
“… sh*t. Droke!”
From noble mtl dot com
At Taejin’s call, Drok’s wings flap faster.
ㅡWhoo! Huh!
The closer you get, the more majestic the feeling of intimidation and magnificent fear becomes.
The steel scale-like wings deflect all attacks, and the vicious snout swallows all attacks.
Every time the giant scorpion tail hits the ground, it creates a vibration and fear that feels like an earthquake.
Quite so.
It is no exaggeration to say that the final boss has returned. It was a huge monster.
“Lesha!”
Taejin grabbed the bow with his right hand and called out to Lesha.
Lesha, who was sitting behind Taejin and holding her waist tightly, answered.
“Yes!”
“Take care of Yura! “Your mother must be out of her mind right now!”
“What are you going to do!?”
Rsha asked anxiously.
But Taejin’s gaze was focused on the monster.
“We have to fight.”
“What… ? I’d rather evacuate now….”
“He appeared right after Choi Do-han lured me out. It must have been Gad Rachel’s plan to target me or the others. Avoiding it won’t end it. Rather, it will only increase the damage. “You have to fight back.”
“Yeah, but that’s not something I can handle… !”
Lesha dissuades Taejin.
The closer I got, the more magical power I felt that gave me goosebumps all over my body, and the sight of everything flying away with the flap of my wings turned even the slightest hope into despair.
Even a rough guess, it seemed like there was no chance of winning.
It seemed more reasonable to ask for help from a nearby city, but Lesha looked at Taejin’s back and took her eyes off her.
Because you know Taejin Han better than anyone else.
That’s why.
“The method is… there is?”
She asked.
Is there a trick to defeat that monster like Taishan?
But the answer that came back only reminded me of what kind of person Taejin was.
“Well, if there is a will, there is a way, so wouldn’t heaven help?”
“….”
Taejin was a challenging, enterprising, and quite thorough guy.
But that is a conclusion that someone who has only been through him for a short time can draw.
Because after going through him deeply, you can see what an upbeat and optimistic man he is.
Like now.
Taejin bets everything on just luck.
If it was reckless, it was reckless, if it was absurd, it was an absurd decision, but Lesha was well aware that the decision was not based on unfounded confidence.
A man who does doodles.
If it is Taejin, he will surely do it.
Lesha smiled lightly and looked at Taejin again.
I put aside for a moment the foolish thought of how he is so handsome from the side.
“Don’t get hurt.”
She said.
Taejin turned his head and smiled.
“Yep. I will honor you.”
With humorous jokes.
“Foot. “You too.”
A man who knows how to take his time even in such an urgent crisis.
That’s why he is a more reliable man.
Lesha kissed his cheek and prepared to descend.
Because we were already close to the village.
I can feel the waves of air on my skin, and screams and roars pound my ears.
Taejin and Lesha hardened their expressions.
Looking closer, the situation was even more serious.
Because the villains and monsters were destroying the village.
The good news is that Nayeon, Hyeseo, and Sua are stepping up to the front to stop the giant monster.
It was just a waste of time, desperate to block it, but thanks to that, the residents were being evacuated.
In particular, the fact that there were many mercenaries staying in the village was a big help.
“Then, see you later.”
“Yes. Be careful.”
“You are. Don’t worry girl I will make sure to protect it.”
I know that Yura is also an awakened person, but I know that the choice varies depending on whether one has actual combat experience or not, and the results of that choice have a great impact on survival.
Taejin had no choice but to worry about Yura’s safety.
Shortly, Lesha jumped off Droke’s back and Taejin headed towards the entrance of the village with Droke.

“Lady-!”
Rsha arrived at the village plaza and started looking for Yura with Polymorph in the form of Raina.
The corpses were lined up, and among them were some of the corpses of mercenaries.
In addition, the corpses of the villains who exhibited monster abilities were also laid like land mines.
“Lady-! Where are you-!”
“aaah!”
Of course, finding Yura was not easy.
It was because there were many situations that could not be overlooked by the villains and monsters who almost took over the village.
Those under the rubble.
Those who are in danger from villains and monsters.
Lesha’s temperament was not too sharp to ignore them all.
“Thank you….”
“Have you ever seen a girl with short hair and round glasses? She must be a little shorter than me and wearing a fluorescent hoodie… !”
“Ah. I saw it if it was a fluorescent hood. Is she going that way?”
Fortunately, one of the rescuers had seen Yura, and Lesha ran in the direction she pointed.
-Keeek!
-Whoa!
After about 5 minutes of ruthlessly slaughtering villains and monsters, Lesha picked up something in the middle of her path.
“This is the lady’s mechanism… !”
It was a modern mechanical device that did not fit in with this town. It was definitely Yura’s, and Lesha looked around her extension with an uneasy expression on her broken device.
And.
“Here too!”
Traces of mechanical fragments were found.
Fragments of machines that were cut into small pieces and scattered on the road as if guiding the way.
The joy of discovering her traces was short-lived, but Lesha had to run straight ahead at the screams she heard from somewhere.
ㅡaaah!!
“Ah, lady?!”
A road following the fragments.
It was Yura’s scream that came from the end of the road.
“Lady-!!”
Lesha searches for Yura with a voice that is almost like a scream. She turned around her alley twice, when she reached a small square.
Lesha had to witness a scene that made her limbs stiffen.
Yura is frozen, struggling to lift the collapsed roof.
Her stinger tail was shooting towards her, and Yura let out a scream as she saw that stinger tail.
Still, the roof is not put down.
It may be because of the survivors trapped under the roof, but the biggest reason is that they have become rigid with fear.
A skilled hunter with a lot of practical experience would have found the answer, but Yura was still just a young girl, even though she was able to demonstrate her superhuman strength and think of tricks in an instant.
“Lady-!!”
Lesha calls out again.
Her tail, which was already shooting towards Yura’s heart, would pierce it in two seconds.
However, the distance from end to end of the square was well over 100m.
Even if they rushed in right away, they couldn’t arrive before that tail.
This is an area that is absolutely impossible in its current state.
《Khahahaha-! How can you be different from me, with ugly horns and a beast’s tail? Do you really think that the appearance suitable for illusion is actually human?》
At that moment, Choi Do-han’s voice passes through my mind.
I still hear that voice vividly in my ears.
The mockery that pierces the heart and fills it with sorrow has not yet abated and claws at the heart.
Afterwards, the corpses of villains lying in the middle of the road flashed through my mind.
The corpse that displayed the characteristics of a monster clearly could not be considered human and resembled oneself.
Be transformed or expressed.
Again.
《aaagh-! It’s a monster!!》
When I saw those villains, I could hear the screams of people running away through auditory hallucinations.
I felt as if I was running away from myself, and people’s faces changed to the mothers of Nayeon, Hyeseo, Sua, Yura, and Taejin.
Time stopped, and the world began to turn black and white.
It hurts.
Even though I knew it was a delusion, I felt a stabbing pain in my chest.
It only passed by for a moment, but I felt a strong burning pain in my burned chest.
But.
That burning pain will pass, and if Yura cannot be saved, an even more burning pain will melt my heart.
More than anything, I never wanted to make Taejin look sad.
Delusions are cleared away, and the world becomes colorful again.
ㅡWhew….
Lower your posture and increase your magic power to the extreme.
The magical wind swirls around the body, the heart beats violently and spits out the heartrending grief.
I promised to protect her Yura.
Compared to Tae-jin, who overcame her hardships to save herself, her delusions and worries are nothing more than poor excuses.
ㅡWhoo! Huh!
The magical wind ignites fire, and powerful magical energy is etched into each cell.
Courage fills the heart where grief has disappeared.
The hair began to turn its natural purple color and began to flutter in the strong magical wind.
And then Lesha’s goat horns rose above Rayna’s head, and her heart-shaped tail began to sprout.
The complete release of suppressed magic is taking place.
“Polymorph.”
Her eyes were closed.
I will not be ashamed.
I will no longer torment myself with delusions.
I will no longer run away from worry and anxiety.
I opened my eyes.
The heart-shaped pupil emits a red glow.
After a while.
“Release.”
From noble mtl dot com
Her complete liberation was achieved, and it was a complete release from the delusions and anxiety that had bound her.
ㅡKieek-!!
In the small square, only the screams of a monster with its severed tail echo.
