137. The Perfect Way to Steal an Legion
The man’s face, contorted with anger, turned pale little by little. At first, the guy who was swept away by anger and couldn’t control himself gradually realized the current situation.
It is said noblely as a ‘duel’, but the reality is no different from a fight in which ordinary beasts cover the boss. The bold young male bared his teeth at the old chief of Pride.
The rest of the pack watches the fight in silence. Thus, at the end of the fight, the victor becomes the new leader of the group, and the loser is driven out lonely or dead.
“That guy is human! What are you just staring at?”
[Are you afraid to compete with me and run away?]
Above all, while being a human being. He doesn’t know how to command the monsters, but the rules of dueling don’t allow him to use their power. Bosses and challengers. One-on-one confrontation.
It seems that the reason why he was so energetic even after knowing Cream’s identity was because of the monsters next to him.
[······Enough.]
What the heck, you’re messing with this? As the twin heads stepped forward to block us, the face of the man hidden behind it turned bright.
[This person is not just a simple boss, but also a witness to the promise with the church.]
[So, don’t install on topics you don’t know anything about!]
I just snorted as I looked at the two heads of the ogre yelling at me.
[You proudly say that you have submitted to human feet.]
[This bastard!]
[A pierced mouth!]
[Noisy, noisy. If you’re not going to get out of the way…]
I guess I’m a bit talkative too? Proud of myself, I delivered my will to Cream. It’s fun to play with them, but it’s all about matching the rhythm.
I don’t know the exact reason, but the stigma of darkness recognizes us as ‘fellow’. That’s why you don’t have to go unnoticed by them. Because it’s common for monsters to fight each other.
If half the army is already on my side, kill the other half and the army will be mine. It could be so easy and simple!
[Let me get out of the way.]
As I spit out lines that were faithful to the concept until the end, Cream immediately kicked the ground and charged. Unfortunately, divine power cannot be used.
But even with the most destructive power aside, Cream could use many, many means. Besides, it’s not just the cream this time. Where, should I try my best too!
– The Spectered Authority (SS-) activates!
The darkness that had wrapped around the cream came down gently and covered the entire area. In an instant, a mist of darkness spread over the entire room, and the twin heads hesitated in embarrassment.
A muddy and thick aura that anyone in life can’t help but find unpleasant. Free from that influence are the monsters who have already adapted to the aura by receiving the implantation of the stigma of darkness.
A warrior freed from my influence by the protection of the gods. They were the only ones. His movement slowed down, and Tar Cream swung his sword as it was.
“Chit.”
[Kwaaah!]
[Quaaah!]
Twice the head, two screams. Because of its size, he couldn’t cut his throat right away, but the blade that was swung ravenously into one of his arms.
At the same time, I began to infuse him with darkness. The flowing blood turns black, and the entire wound begins to rot. Even monsters with superior resistance to humans did not make a difference.
“That’s the dragon… No, this is not the time.”
The believer, who was taken aback by the figure of the hero radiating darkness, soon came to his senses and took action. As he spread his hand, black flames shot up above it.
Different from the stigma of darkness possessed by monsters, it is the power of the stigmata corrupted by the priests of the three gods betraying the existing gods and serving the evil spirits. Of course, its power couldn’t even compare to the stigma of darkness.
[Watch your back!]
But before I could even sound the warning, Cream was already in action. She flicked her hand lightly as her man’s sparks curved their orbits and landed on Cream’s head.
Her flames, blazing fiercely as if at any moment would overtake her cream, passed her just barely. Then, the flames attacked the twin-headed ogre.
[What are you doing!]
[Attack me!]
[Oh, my friend. It wouldn’t be the time to worry about that.]
The giants’ natural physique may have been a blessing in itself, but it was a misfortune against a nimble and nimble foe like Cream.
As he rolled his two heads, he reached out to her in a hurry, but Cream slipped through the gap like a swallow, leaving scars on the ogre’s body over and over again.
The moment when the black rotten part increases little by little, and finally the guy feels a sense of difference. Took. Tuduk. A tumor swelled like an explosion over the ogre’s hard outer skin.
A human face roared from each tumor that blossomed on the giant’s body.
[Take me out! Open it! Release me!]
[Yes, I must have died. I just realized now…]
[It can’t end like this. At this rate!]
Soon the tumor exploded, and blood, pus, and specters splattered through it. The ghosts that tore the body of the host and jumped out, each talking nonsense caught in a delusion, and jumped back at the host they tore apart.
When we cut them down, it wasn’t just the darkness we left behind in their bodies. The ghosts I released ran through my blood vessels and necrotized the nerve cells that moved his body.
[You bastard…]
[What did you do…]
The twin heads started to stagger as if they were drunk. The man behind his back fired jet-black flames several times as if desperate, but it only burned the ogre’s body.
Cream, who was looking at that figure, flew away at some point. Darkness covered his eyes, and when he noticed, the sword had already reached the bottom of his chin.
From noble mtl dot com
[Quooooo! My head!]
The ogre’s head rolled on the floor. And, the other head howled. No matter how creamy it was, it seemed difficult to sever two ogres as thick as a log.
Well, it might have been possible in peacetime, but now she listens to me and all of her abilities are in a state of decline. Even in the midst of that, the inaction she showed off was truly dazzling.
[Damn it, my five hundred years of life is like this…]
Twin- No, as soon as the one-headed ogre resigned himself, an ink-colored flash rose from the thick darkness. Instead of resisting any longer, the bastard let his body limp.
And then, the tip of my knife pierced his jaw. Instant death without question.
“How about we are stronger?”
The man who tried to run away was caught by Choco’s hand and was dangling. Choco smiled brightly as she swung her big man, one head above her own, like her toy.
Even though it was decapitated by Cream, the twin-headed ogre was a real name that was created after a long time. Among the individuals who gained intelligence through the stigma of darkness, there was no one who could beat him.
And Cream defeated that guy. What could be more proof of this power?
[Sushek, now you are our captain.]
The Snake Woman, who watched the whole scene, immediately bowed her head to us.
*
“Inconvenient, bad.”
[Shh, wait a minute.]
Cream sat on the ‘throne’ that men of the Dark Church often sat on. What it is, is a living stone golem. Seriously, this bastard also had quite a bit of bad taste.
The Snake Woman naturally stood behind him, perhaps as she originally did her lieutenant. It was a monster under her feet and behind her back, and it was an environment where even if I tried not to be nervous, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
Whether we should admire the boldness of Cream, who is genuinely uncomfortable with the stone golem’s hard touch, or be surprised by its indifference. I really want
“Master. So, what are we going to do from now on?”
Choco, who was rolling on the floor in peace, immediately asked a question. And Cream, who had no idea from the beginning, turned her head and looked at me.
No, if you stare at the sword like that, you’ll get caught! Cream soon turned her head back to the original position, and I was in a moment of trouble. Oh, yes.
[The former captain here is a human.]
“Yes?”
[I wonder what kind of English it is. What else is a promise?]
Originally… Um, what was the purpose of coming here? Anyway, before he died, he said something suspicious again, but if you don’t dig into it, you’re not an adventurer. It seems to be related to the Dark Church as well.
At my question, the snake girl put on a puzzled expression for a moment. Soon, she loosened her coils and pulled herself up. Sseuseuk. The sound of scales rubbing is eerie.
“Actually, I don’t know much about this part… Would you like to take a look?”
Cream nodded her head lightly, and soon the snake woman raised her whole body. Let’s go Nagara, the superior species of the Naga. When the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake were added, the height alone reached several meters.
I hate reptiles. Ugh, suppressing my natural reluctance, I let out a stern voice.
[I’m curious.]
“Please follow me.”
As Cream jumped down, the stone golem that was bending her back barely got up to save herself. Choco, who had been sitting idly by, soon joined the ranks.
It was also strange that there was a building that could be called a small castle in the middle of the monster gathering place, but following the snake woman’s guide, the underground became more. An underground passage that is huge enough for large monsters to pass through.
It felt similar in many ways to the Dark Church’s stronghold that I robbed the other day. How far did he follow the quietly slipping snake woman? Soon her tail stopped in one place.
[······Is this right?]
The underground corridor was dark without a single light, but no one here lacked the ability to stick to such a thing.
Because of that, the firmly locked door in front was also clearly visible. I assure you, I am confident that I will not be surprised if the door behind it is a trap. To that extent, beyond that door, there was a thick smell of death.
“Yes, this way.”
However, the snake girl opened the door accustomed to it. An indescribable stench leaked through the crack in the door, and soon the scenery inside was revealed.
