Episode 28. Seed of Mine (2)
“Nice to meet you, beastmen.”
“What are you?”
Several of the beastmen who stood guard over the village, which had been less reconstructed, moved towards where the voice was heard.
Even though the beastmen showed hostility and pressured them, the girl with purple hair just smiled brightly and waved her hand. Every time she waved her hand, her black fur fluttered indifferently.
“Are you human…… ?”
“Queup! This rotten smell…… !”
Her beastman covers her nose, curls up on her body, and points her finger at her.
“It’s a demon!!”
“What?!”
One of the beastmen shouted and pointed at Ekabel.
“Get your tools right now!
The villagers hurriedly come out with their equipment. Reaction was very quick.
But the opponent was bad. Also very.
“Oops. Did you find out right away? I thought she was getting it right. Isn’t that right, Lagor?”
“Ecabel-sama’s magic is hard to hide even if you try to hide it.”
“I see! But I don’t think you knew this prisoner by smell?”
La Gare shrugged her shoulders. The girl, who was looking disapprovingly at her own deputy commander, put her hands together.
“Well, if your identity is revealed, the story is fast. We all have to be ‘Mine’. Absolutely no objections.”
Kang!
Beastman Hana swiftly swings her sword, but is blocked by her slender fingers.
“How…… ?”
“I must have looked weak just because I looked like this.”
She feels the ominous energy of the prisoner looking into the black interior where not even a hint of vitality can be found, and tries to soften her body. But faster than that, Ekabel grabbed his neck.
“If you run away, it will be bitter. They say that a young beast will come to its senses only when it is hit, but since it seems to be still usable, will you finish it with this special one?”
“Mr. f*ck! Die!”
As Cavell raised her finger, the beastman hurriedly swung his sword.
Kaang!
The sword swung at his neck broke in two without resistance. Ekabel reacted shivering as she touched the area she had been hit.
“Don’t resist. You can’t cut my throat with that sword.”
“Say, save me!!”
Hook!
Ekabel’s fingers dug into the beast’s heart.
From the tip of her finger, a seed containing demonic energy inside her body comes out and sticks to her heart. A smile spread across Ekabel’s face.
“Eat deliciously. My seeds are much tastier than I thought?”
“Hey! Whoops!”
When he removes his finger, Soo-in starts convulsing. The whites gradually turn black.
When Cavell let go of his neck, Suin crawled on the floor and groaned. Then he vomits blood from his mouth.
“Don’t worry. Because it is a process of becoming a person. Calm down.”
“Hey! sh*t, i don’t like…… !”
In the end, the movement of the bloody beast stopped. Eventually, it happened naturally, as if something had happened.
“Look. That’s great.”
“Big uh…… !”
Mine, who lost her language function, stumbled and ran to the Suin right next to her.
“Oh no, no.”
Mine stopped at Ekabel’s words. She stands tall as if waiting for instructions.
“Everyone here needs to be a host.”
After saying that, Cabel pulled out dozens of thin tentacles from her back.
“It’s meal time.”
Papapak!
The tentacles furiously dug into the torso of the beasts around them. Each one aimed at the heart.
As seeds came out from the tips of the tentacles embedded in their bodies and bonded to their hearts, the beasts shook violently. Before long, his eyes are stained with hyukan, and he turns into a demon.
Her tentacles didn’t just end with demonizing the beasts around her. Even the bodies of those hiding in the house were indulged.
As she stretched, Cavell approached the beastman who was not yet magical and crouched down. She had left it on purpose.
“Didn’t you just tell me that I stink?”
“Yes… yes?!”
“Because I don’t smell?! You bastard!”
Ecabel’s fingers pierced his head. The eyes of the prisoner, who was wandering in an unknown situation, soon turned upside down.
“I don’t need you. Just die.”
The tentacles gathered together with her words seize the beastman’s limbs and tear them apart. Blood splattered into the sky and dripped onto the floor.
“Now then, let’s go to the next town. Lagor? Guide me.”
After wiping the blood on her face with the back of his hand, Cabel turned around and saw her.
“…… All right.”
Ragor sighed inwardly as he watched the back of Ekabel’s head go ahead.
Originally, he didn’t like being under anyone. He couldn’t become the spirit king, so he wanted to stand at the top as much as he jumped out of the spirit realm.
From noble mtl dot com
But that thought had to be put aside the moment I faced a corps commander.
He was sure.
No one in this world can beat the demon king and the army commander.
I was convinced that no matter how much I flew and crawled, I would not be able to defeat the corps commander, so I had no choice but to obey.
‘Ecabel… …. She pretends to be a weak girl and acts with a smile, but this b*tch’s very existence is a legion.’
“It’s nice that there is no anti-demon magic here! I can go and play as much as I want!”
Ecabel let out an excited voice as if a child had come to a playground.
In this way, the forest of beastmen gradually begins to be encroached upon by demons.
* * *
It has already been three days since the growth mission was given.
“Stop it! I’m not sure…… !”
“What is the gap? How the hell do you see…… ?”
Tina and Iris were wrapping their heads, alternating between the aura sword and parchment they had created.
Puong!
“Ah… really…… ! I only mixed four, so why are they bursting!”
On one side, Maria was blending in a small embodiment of her magic. However, just by combining the four magics, her spells were twisted and she was suffering.
I also wanted to explain in detail. I wanted to reduce the trial and error even a little bit.
But it wasn’t detailed enough in the game to be explained in real life.
In the game, it was conveniently implemented to awaken at a certain point, so it was possible to achieve enlightenment just by repeating the action.
Because of that, there was no more advice I could give to the warriors. Other than just repeat until it works.
“By the way, Ariel.”
“Huh?”
She, who was listening to the screams of the warriors next to her, tilted her head.
“Just checking again. Naiad said that if you capture or kill Lagor, you will be able to meet the World Tree, right?”
“Right.”
A month ago, Ariel hurriedly went to a spirit meeting and informed me of the meeting.
To briefly summarize the content of the meeting, it was to bring Lagor back to the spirit realm, but if it seemed impossible, he would rather kill him.
He came up with a tough countermeasure, saying that if he, the disgrace of the spirits, were alive, only the prestige of the World Tree would be lost.
“Are you sure it doesn’t matter whether you are captured or killed?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“I see.”
“Do you think you can do it?”
“Anyway, that guy is the vice-captain of the demons. He must be killed In the first place, it is impossible to defeat the demon king without killing the corps commander and deputy corps commander.”
Because the devil can be defeated only when three warriors put all their strength into it. That said, it would be too much for him to entrust a high-ranking demon to an S-class.
For me, it was killing two birds with one stone if I could meet the World Tree by killing both sides. However, the problem was how to attract Lagor.
I didn’t have an answer right away.
“Heroes must become stronger than they are now. You shouldn’t be pushed back like when you saved Orient or when you went to Aium Kingdom and dealt with Stella.”
“But can the warriors become stronger that way?”
“You can be strong.”
To be precise, I believed that I could become stronger.
But if I gave a poor answer here, the warriors who believed and followed my words would feel skeptical.
I couldn’t. If drinking skull water can make you stronger, you have to force yourself to drink it.
“But how do you find out those training methods? I’ve seen them exercise so far, but I’ve never seen them practice the training methods taught to the warriors.”
“It’s not something I can do. If I could, I would have done it myself to reduce trial and error. But that’s something only warriors can do.”
“Really? Well, that aside, most of what you teach is out of this world. Where do you know that comes from?”
It is subtly poking at the core.
“…… It is a memory.”
“Remember?”
“It’s an old memory now.”
Nearly five years have passed since I came to this world.
I kept writing down things that came to my mind, including information I had written down after being possessed, but I had forgotten most of them.
Aside from the game content in particular, my relationships with people in the other world and how I lived became increasingly vague, and now I can hardly remember anything.
“Do you even have memories of your previous life? Or is this also the power of the player?”
Is it a previous life…….
It was similar. Strictly speaking, it was not a previous life, but a possession.
“Okay. Which one?”
“Are you glossing over important things?”
“If you are really curious, ask the World Tree directly. The world tree that coordinates cause and effect must know it.”
“I want to ask too. But World Tree said he didn’t say anything. They just say that you will know everything when the time is right, and ask for your support.”
You will know when the time is right…… ?
As expected, does the World Tree know who I am? Ever since I used the word player, I was expecting that.
Anyway, I must aim to meet the World Tree before the Great War between Man and Demon breaks out.
It was around the time I was thinking about that.
“Master!!”
Maria strides forward. Seeing the wrinkles on her face, she keeps trying and can’t seem to come to me because she’s frustrated.
“I can’t eat this! I can’t do this—”
“Still, I am working hard to reach that level, so if I surpass that level, I will have to give you anything I want.”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
I said as if talking to myself. Ariel puzzles me. Then she saw Mary and she understood what I meant.
Maria, who was approaching, stood still and looked at me. Her eyes twitch
“Huh? What did Maria say?”
I belatedly asked her, pretending to have found her.
“I came to tell you that I will work hard under Master’s teachings! Go for it!”
“… ….”
Maria returns to her place. You work hard too
“I will at least prepare some snacks for the kids. Let me know right away if anything happens.”
“I don’t think there will be anything except for Prause’s house being blown away by magic.”
“…… That’s a big deal.”
“Don’t worry. It won’t happen. I will protect you.”
“Yes. I will believe you.”
“In that sense, do you want to talk to Phasma tonight after a long time?”
…… This guy was a snob too.
Convince the warriors, not me. Every night I’m alone with you, so I ask if you’re dating.
As I entered the house and was on my way to the kitchen, a basket of delivery scrolls was glowing.
“What is it?”
「Help PRAUS! Now, demons have invaded the forest of beastmen! The purple-haired girl is turning beastmen into demons!”
I was looking at the contents of the delivery scroll, but I couldn’t figure out what it meant at the moment, so I read it again.
A girl with purple hair is turning beasts into demons?
“No way… Ecabel…… ?”
There was only one character in this world with purple hair.
Any demon can do it, but I dare not compare it with Ekabel. Majinhwa was one of her proprietary skills.
“Why are you suddenly raiding the Beastman’s Forest? Could it be that it was to reduce the number of beasts prior to the man-man war?”
If that’s not the case, do you really want to know the relationship between me and the Resistance?
Considering that Harbito’s subordinates still remain in the Empire, it wouldn’t be too difficult to obtain that information. Even so, I didn’t know that they would suddenly attack.
I don’t know why, but if either of them is attacked by demons, the other races will try to join forces with humans. If so, you will be able to lead the human race to your advantage.
It’s not a good thing, but it was an opportunity nonetheless.
“Master!”
Boom!
Maria hurriedly opens the door and enters. Tina and Iris followed suit.
“Look at this!”
Chris was still visible on the monitoring magic screen. Today, however, an imperial knight stood in front of him.
A knight who came to report the contents of the delivery scroll and the emperor.
The moment the two things were combined, I grasped the situation at once.
“What? Say it again.”
“The number of demons is rapidly increasing in the forest of beastmen to the southwest! There is currently no way to stop it. It will be difficult if we don’t call and stop the S-class dispatched to the western border.”
“First of all, shut the gates so that the demons cannot enter!”
“Yes? Ha, but…… !”
“Other races became independent from the Empire. There is no reason to look back! Even the Empire could be in danger if Mine came into the Empire after looking after them! Close it now!”
“Yes, yes!”
After the knight answered, he hurriedly left.
Close the gates? Then what about the other races outside?
It’s clear what will happen, but I’m giving this order…… ?
“Chris, these dogs—”
“Chris, you bastard…… !”
Iris cursed before me. The beast’s eyes were stained with intent to kill.
