258. Yokai of Yokai
Horror movies or ghost stories.
In order for horror-type stories to be accepted, the enemy that was the subject of the content needed to be overwhelming.
The victim cannot do anything, they keep following him even if he runs away, and there is no clue to the solution.
The subjects of fear in movies and ghost stories needed to do that.
Otherwise, if you can easily be manipulated by people or solve the problem, there is no reason to feel fear.
So, like now.
No matter how ugly it looks towards me and howls that it will tear me to death at any moment.
There wasn’t even a heartbeat.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
“Come out!”
Click! Crack! Crack!
“I’ll chew your face off and eat it!”
Youkai holding a small protective magic around me. The protective spell is not broken even when supplies come in from all directions.
Quad!
“Kwaaa!”
Rather, the protective magic broke the teeth of the monsters that had applied too much force, causing bizarre screams to soar.
Defense is the best offense.
A situation that reminds me of exactly that.
I silently watch as the monsters, who repeatedly run, collide, and break, get tired.
[Don’t die.]
Suddenly, I felt like I heard the voice of a dark spirit.
An overwhelming protective magic that she, who is already dead, created for me. A miracle that prevents death, which is not suitable for a necromancer.
“… ….”
It’s not appropriate for this situation, but I felt a sense of emptiness building up in me.
Hot breath is secretly exhaled, and longing presses heavily on my chest.
‘It shouldn’t be like this.’
To put it bluntly, you could say that I have grown a bit as a person, unlike in the past when I was blunt. We shouldn’t be buried in the past like this too often.
If you continue to hold on to someone who has left, it will only look ridiculous.
“… ….”
As I mentioned earlier in Ranran Restaurant, I had a tendency to get lost in recent memories too often, so I needed to be careful.
When I looked around again, I saw the monsters retreating back.
There were also a few monsters that seemed to have been injured by the strong protective magic.
The most outstanding one among them was Ingui, a monster that was eating people in the alleys.
“hehehehe! “Huh!”
Wet blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth as she was catching her breath.
Her huge teeth were broken to an unsightly degree, and fragments were falling out along with flowing blood.
It was definitely a magic that the dark spirit was confident in, so it was especially strong against these types of enemies.
“Are you finished?”
When I asked lightly, the monsters became angry and trembled with anger, but they didn’t seem to have the courage to attack again.
Slamming one’s head into a hard stone with all one’s might and biting it requires excessive courage, not only for humans but also for monsters.
“I’m hungry!”
However, there are always special people who do not understand the criminal.
Ingwi pounds her fists on the floor, stained with her own blood, and lunges at me again.
Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A guy who stretches out his long fists recklessly.
He had a very shabby posture, but his strength was so good that he was threatening enough.
No, it would be threatening.
For ordinary people.
Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Kia! Kihaa! “Huh!”
Blood spreads in all directions along with the rough energy emitted by the excited human spirit.
Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The crazy punch could have momentarily boosted the momentum of the other youkai.
Passionate and aggressive will did not lead to good results.
“Hey, hey.”
In-gui exhales and secretly looks down at his limp hands.
Now it has become a piece of meat so grotesquely damaged that it cannot be called a hand.
Even though he groans in pain, his desire and hunger to eat me are not satisfied.
In the end, he opened his mouth wide and lunged at me.
aaah!
A magical blade that cuts her body apart.
It was my first time using this type of operating method, but it was one of the ways I practiced as Kim Shin-woo, not Deius.
In the end, the human ghosts that were cut in two and spread out on the floor began to slowly disappear.
When the monsters saw that, they immediately turned around and started running out of the alley, as if they had clearly understood the situation again.
“Do, run away!”
“It’s a monster! “You’re a f*cking monster!”
“You damn b*tch! “What happened to this because of you!”
A voice of criticism pierces the night air. It must be a real pity for those who run away in a huff.
As I said last time.
Because my ability to chase down fleeing enemies is somewhat poor.
“Huh?”
“Oh, it’s blocked!”
“Don’t push! You bastards! “Don’t push!”
“Go up!”
“The stomach is also blocked! “f*ck!”
I had no intention of leading the fight into a chase.
The best thing about the dark spirit’s magic was its durability.
A power that makes me completely understand how much she wanted to save me.
Also, the familiar dark spirit magic was easy for me to learn and use.
When I first cast the protection spell, I had already cast two.
One is to protect me.
Another purpose is to surround this entire alley to prevent monsters from escaping.
The monsters, who were wandering around in all directions trying to find a hole, suddenly found Soho looking down at them from the rooftop.
She was shedding tears incessantly, sobbing that her throat was sore.
“So, soho! Help me! “Help me out there!”
“You all die! Soho! Soho!”
“We helped you the day before yesterday, sister! f*ck! Open the door! “Please help me destroy this!”
Youkai flock in the direction of Soho, begging for their lives. But just because it was outside didn’t mean it could pierce my magic.
It was a scenery reminiscent of hell.
I heard that there everyone is in pain and begging for their lives, but the pain lasts forever.
Standing on the rooftop, they were shouting out to Soho, who was looking down on them, as if he were their savior.
“Don’t close your eyes.”
Growing.
The body of the ghost that was disappearing at my feet caught fire.
It is a blue flame that is so familiar to me.
The necromancer’s fire that burns the soul, causes pain, or in extreme cases, destroys it.
“Watch until the end.”
Even in this uproar, my voice seemed to have reached Soho’s ears, and even though she was shedding tears, she could not close her eyes.
She couldn’t even move her hand to wipe away her tears.
I could only watch.
She understands the true nature of the village she loved and the responsibility they must bear.
The flames begin to spread.
“Off! “Kwaaak!”
“Help me! No! No! “I hate it!”
“Open! Open this! Shibaaal!”
“Soho b*tch! “Help!”
“Is it okay for you to be the only one alive?! Good? Good? Good? Good? Good?”
“It’s hot!”
The screaming and struggling coming from all directions was not very pleasant to hear.
But still.

The fire continues to spread.
Quickly and without hesitation.
In the end, the inside of the protective magic that surrounded the entire alley was filled with blue fire.
In a sphere of fiercely burning flame.
I walked out leisurely.
Moonlight peeks out into the now-ordinary alley.
After completing its role, there was nothing left in the flame that slowly died out.
Go back to the beginning.
I remembered talking about horror movies.
It would have been easy to become a perpetrator as a monster.
Today, the position has changed.
I am a nightmare to them.
It’s a ghost story.
It was also a monster.
The Man-Eater Village ended with a bad ending.
The cold wind cools the heated body and at the same time calms the boiling mana again.
Because it was a prosthetic body, it was not possible to use a large amount of mana, so it took some time to deal with these monsters.
“… ….”
As I was shaking off the heat from my body, the girl landed from the rooftop.
I had cried so much that the area around my eyes was swollen and my eyes were red and bloodshot.
“I… ….”
Soho forces the words out with trembling lips.
“Aren’t you going to destroy me?”
It was a bold question, but it may have been the part she was most curious about.
“Uh.”
It is said that Soho does not eat his soul, but eats his food.
She was a somewhat different type of being than the youkai I had just destroyed.
When Soho heard my answer, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Her sharp nails dig into her flesh and blood trickles.
“I knew they were all bad monsters.”
“… ….”
“Because they killed and ate humans. “I also know that I have to shoulder that responsibility.”
But.
Soho adds and glares at me.
“I hate you.”
If I had to compare it, it would be the murderer’s family.
Her love for the monsters that have been with her all her life and have become her home cannot be so easily broken off.
She knew rationally that she should be punished, but emotionally she could not accept it.
“One day, I will kill you.”
Heinous murderous intent.
The air around her was filled with hostility toward me.
“Yes.”
Deprived of their home and village to live in.
It would be too much to label her a perpetrator, and it would be shameless to label her a victim.
“Do whatever you want.”
I say that and take a step forward. This is how the village of cannibals ended.
The back story still remained.
“Where! “I’m going!”
I calmly answered Soho’s urgent question.
“An ancient dragon.”
It seems like they tried to send monsters to cut off the tail.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of letting go so easily.
Soho realizes that I am going to touch the ancient dragon and runs after me in surprise.
So, amidst a somewhat awkward air current, we headed to the city’s underground waterway where the ancient dragon was sleeping.
“Oh, this can’t be right.”
Soho’s voice echoes through the underground waterway.
“… ….”
What welcomed us was the cold corpse of an ancient dragon with its head sticking out.
