23.Nine-headed snake (2)
‘This sound…’
Karina, who was cleaning the messy house with this and that stuff, unknowingly shuddered at the sudden scream.
A scream she had never heard before. And a vaguely unpleasant aura.
Unknowingly, Karina ran out of the house and looked in the direction the sound was coming from. Instead of a house surrounded by bricks, you can feel the energy even more clearly when you come out into the open air. Karina looked in the direction of the energy with her worried face.
‘Will it be okay…’
I am anxious.
But I can’t go. Karina knew very well that she had no fighting skills. Even if she goes into the woods, she gets tired and becomes a lump of luggage. She doesn’t even know the way in the first place, but there is no way she can find Lenny and John. Karina looked at the forest that began to stir with her nervous heart.
‘Please be safe… ‘
“Lady Karina!”
“…Lenny?”
Why can I hear Lenny’s voice?
Her questioning eyes turned to the man wearing the strange armor.
Who the hell is that? Carina, who had a wary expression on her face at the unfamiliar appearance of her, noticed that Lenny’s voice came from within her armor belatedly. Karina loosened her expression and she called her name.
“Lenny?”
A slightly questionable voice reached Lenny’s ears. Lenny immediately removed her hideous helm and revealed her face. Her hair clung to her forehead from how she sweated.
“Yes, it is me, Lady Karina.”
“What happened? The armor… And John… “
“This is an emergency. I need Karina-sama’s strength!”
An urgent voice. Karina recalled what she had done right before being thrown into the cask.
Water up to your ankles. People screaming. Oak barrel. She was helpless herself.
Come back to the present.
Invisible John.
Karina noticed the situation without any explanation.
“…Guide me. To the place where John is.”
“I don’t have time, so I’ll carry it on my back… Wait.”
Lenny tossed off her armor, laden with acid poison. Her tattered armor fell to the ground, revealing her limp body in sweat. Karina looked at her with her worried eyes, then she carefully surrendered her body to her words to hug her.
Lenny hugged her in her familiar motion and kicked her to the ground.
The destination is where John is.
‘I should be fine…’
Lenny didn’t realize that for the first time she was worried about someone other than Karina.
—————
Swing the shovel from top to bottom. The blade of my shovel, sharper than most famous swords, cut through the skin of a tadpole, no, a mini hydra, and pounded her vertebrae with no mercy.
Judging by the intense touch, I wonder if it caused great damage to the vertebrae.
I can feel the movement of the snake slowing down. No matter how crazy he boasts of his regenerative powers, if his spine is damaged, he won’t be able to move right away.
“Kieek!”
…Crazy bastard.
Are you a lizard? Are you a lizard? Where the f*ck is that bastard who takes off his body and runs away! I grabbed the back of the neck when I saw the mini hydra that ran away and regenerated after removing the parts I had damaged. Oh, that son of a b*tch…no, snake.
Run away is really good. It’s very disrespectful to see him kiting with a poison dart because he’s not from an uninhabited island, but in a canyon. If you try to imprison him, he will come out like a ghost, and if you build a wall, he will melt you down with a poison needle. A wall made of wood or earth couldn’t contain him.
“The tadpoles are so tough…”
I don’t know how many times I’ve cut off my tail already. I looked away from the wriggling tails and sighed.
“Can’t you just die for me?”
As if protesting my self-talk, an eerie scream hits my eardrums. But right now I can’t do anything but scream. No wonder. It’s been an hour since me and that bastard fought. That hour was a time of protracted, tedious battles. Compared to Hydra, I am only a weak human, but I was able to gain an advantage against such a mini Hydra.
The problem was that he was needlessly quick for his size.
Thanks to that, I can’t even lift my head. Knowing that Ji would die if his head was smashed, the quick removal of one head was enough to raise my blood pressure.
“Ha, the bastard just managed to escape.”
This strange confrontation. Mini Hydra and I were confronting each other at a distance. I don’t know anything else, but I think I know that I’m faithful to my survival instinct. If you become a zombie, put away your survival instincts!
Oh, it’s sore.
I want to go home right away and rest.
It’s hard.
I’m tired.
My body is creaking.
…After that, let’s focus on the battle. After an hour of doing this sh*t, I lost my concentration.
He straightened his grip on the shovel… It was a kind of preparation for battle. I pointed the shovel at the hydra so that I could block the mini hydra’s attack at any moment.
Who will attack first.
So far, the right to go first has been with the snake kid. I’m a nerd, but that bastard is a filthy one.
My anger after going through the experience theater for an hour was piled up beyond words. In order to relieve that anger, I will get rid of that young snake.
“Let’s finish this soon. It’s a snake baby.”
Because you have no more time to delay.
To end this boring fight-
I turned my back and ran away with all my might.
“If I run away, what can you do! What can you do other than crawling after me!”
Refreshing provocation is a bonus. I can’t hear you, but
Runs through the forest with all its might and looks back. Naturally, I see a mini hydra chasing me. My legs were hurting because we were in a chase that explicitly revealed our desire to hit each other somehow. My legs, which have been busy since morning, call for a vacation, but now it’s time to shut up and run.
I stepped on the ground hard and came to a sudden stop.
Me and the mini hydra rapidly get closer due to sudden sudden braking. The eyes of the snake that looked unpleasant and mine met for a moment. A wild bloody battle in which each other opens their mouths and rushes at each other. Inside the wide open mouth of the mini hydra, you can see the wriggling purple venom glands. I kicked off the ground and shoved myself into the mini hydra’s mouth.
Originally, it would have been an act of suicide, but now I am wearing armor. The bark, which has almost no protective ability, believes in the armor made of the bones and hides of the bear chief. Can’t you stop the fangs of a mini hydra and not a real hydra?
And- my predictions after rushing into my mouth were correct. The maddening pressure felt up and down. I feel my shoulder being scratched by something sharp. Like Atlas in Greek mythology, I braced my legs and shoulders to keep him from swallowing me. My whole body feels like it’s about to break. Little by little, bring your body inward. The mouth of the grotesque creature vibrated incessantly, as if expecting me to be swallowed.
I gritted my teeth and shoved my body to break my shoulder, sticking the shovel into the venom gland. Dark purple blood, like a mixture of poison and blood, splattered on my armor.
“Now look for it, you little snake…”
I drove the shovel into the venom gland so deep that the snake couldn’t close its mouth. His greatest weapon disappeared in an instant. As long as the venom glands are damaged, you won’t be able to shoot me with a poison needle from a distance. The painless guy must have sensed something was wrong, and instead of swallowing me, he twisted his body and tried to spit me out.
But it’s already too late.
I rather went into his mouth. A situation where the mouth was forced open with a shovel and could not be closed easily. I removed the sharp bone attached to the armor and started stabbing the roof of his mouth.
Die! This is a f*cked cub to die!
One, two, three, four… Blood pours out of countless orifices. The sticky blood flowed down the armor.
I feel really bad. A shower of snake blood.
But if that bastard survives, I’ll feel even more f*cked up.
Die.
Die.
Die.
Die.
I’m dizzy.
A snake that rolls like crazy to spit me out of its mouth, and a me that persists and aims for the brain above the roof of my mouth. At this moment, I’m not sure which side will win.
Before my already exhausted body collapses, I will suffocate this bastard.
That was all.
“Please die…”
I push my weary arm into the perforated roof of my mouth. A tingling sensation through the roof of your mouth.
Yes, the soft texture. What else is there other than the brain that feels like this. I pushed my hand into the soft part with all my strength and pulled it. I feel like being ripped off.
My ears are damp. No sound. Was it because I heard a scream right in front of me?
I cannot make an accurate judgment.
But I was sure of one thing.
I won.
From noble mtl dot com.
Damn you.
“Oh, my ears…”
I escaped from the motionless snake’s mouth and lay down on the ground. It’s a new feeling, but it’s really f*cking hard to deal with Hydra. It runs well, uses poison, and has good regeneration. Even a mini hydra looks like sh*t, but the main hydra must be harder to deal with.
Well, I’m not going to deal with it alone, so it’s okay.
You are not alone anymore.
If I had been alone, I wouldn’t have gambled like this.
My eyes close on their own.
You can rest a little bit.
Just a little…
I calmly closed my eyes.
A faint voice is heard in the distance.
It was the voice of an angel that made my heart feel at ease.
