226 – Collapse (2)
Eugene stayed in the capital and continued his mercenary work. Perhaps thanks to his friendship with Chester, city residents who trusted Chester frequently gave Eugene requests.
Although he failed to escort Off, it was just that he knelt down in front of Chester’s Anubis’ ridiculous performance and Monia’s incredible luck. ‘S skills were clear.
Eugene learned how to use the new tool he had obtained while solving his quest more actively than Chester and Monia, who had lost their travel destination and entered a short break.
Eugene obtained… To be precise, an artifact stolen from a friend, wishing for a star.
This artifact, which is the prototype of the hand sling, can do anything a hand sling can do, and is also a very capable bow.
You can do everything a normal bow can do, and you can do many things that a normal bow can’t.
Eugene’s request today was to kill birds.
A clever crow keeps stealing valuables such as jewels and trinkets from a certain nobleman, so I asked you to stop it and find some of the jewels he stole.
It was definitely a cunning crow.
The noble tried everything to stop it and find it, but it is said that it was all breached.
‘Sometimes even animals like this come out.’
As much as there are geniuses that cannot be believed to be the same human beings, such creatures were bound to appear among animals.
When an animal’s excellent physical ability is combined with a brilliant brain, it becomes a monster that is difficult for most people to stop.
“It’s a convenient request, to say you only need to catch one bird.”
While eating the sandwich he bought as a light snack, Eugene shook his arm while manipulating a star with his fingers.
When Eugene shaved his arm, the star flower wrapped around his arm unfolded and turned into a bow.
Wearing one of the rings, Eugene inserted it into her eye socket as if she were wearing a monocle, and manipulated the ring so that a distant place could be clearly seen.
Then, the client’s house, which is about 1km away, appears to be right in front of it.
“Good.”
After putting the sandwich into his mouth, Eugene placed the remaining two rings at the location where the arrow had been fired and then pulled the bow without an arrow.
Wishing you a star. The relic with this name given by Eugene is not a simple relic because he can see the stars in the night sky so clearly when he simply wears one-eyed glasses.
It is a relic that has been remodeled and remodeled over a long period of time, and it is a masterpiece that has been miraculously created in various civilizations and histories.
Of course, Eugene doesn’t know the history of stargazing. He was not very interested in things like history. The important thing was how helpful this star was for him, like Chester’s Anubis.
And in that respect, wishing for a star was a pass.
“Come.”
After confirming that the crow was flying around the mansion and inspecting it, Eugene drew the bowstring.
When the string is pulled, the wind gathered in the bow begins to gather toward the ring.
A bow that shoots the wind. So no other arrows are needed. It’s because you can easily make a hole in a rock with just the wind you send.
The moment the bowstring is released, the wind gathered in the middle of the bowstring passes through the loop as it shoots.
As it passes through the ring, the wind is compressed to form an invisible arrow, and the moment it passes through the ring, the arrow of wind shoots away at the crow with terrifying momentum.
After calculating the movement of the crow and the speed of the arrow, the arrow flew right through the crow’s body.
The pierced crow fell to the ground, and Eugene, who confirmed it, folded the star and wrapped it around her arm, then stood up and jumped down.
There was no hesitation in the movement of throwing oneself down from the roof of a tall building.
Eugene, stepping on places where he could rest his fingers and feet one after another, such as a truss or a window frame, landed safely on the ground and started running towards the mansion to receive the commission fee for killing the crow before finding the jewel.
I was running excitedly when I heard a loud scream in the distance.
“What is it?”
* * *
Harold, who had lost his way and wandered here and there wandering around the continent of Matoto, finally smiled brightly when he saw the tall, high, and thick walls of the castle.
“Capital, capital, capital, c. Capital.”
Evidence of the capital city that even Harold, who is in a state where he has lost his sanity and is a mixture of memories of his human days and the ego of a monster twisted by parasites, is sure to know.
As soon as I saw the wall representing the Jaim Kingdom, I knew it.
Having finally found the capital, Harold, who was overjoyed, moved his 12 hands vigorously and galloped towards the capital.
Although it had about 10 legs, it was useless for running because it kept twisting and changing its position in an erratic way.
“Huh?”
“Huh?!”
Of course, people waiting in line at the checkpoint to enter the capital were horrified when a mysterious monster charged at them at terrifying speed.
From noble mtl dot com
At first, I stayed still because my brain stopped working in a sudden, incomprehensible situation, but soon after I understood the situation, people started screaming and running in all directions.
“Aagh!”
Then, towards one of the people who was late to run away, Harold struck his hand down.
Kwajik!
When Harold struck his hand down, the human body was lightly crushed with just that.
“It’s the capital, it’s the capital, it’s the capital, it’s the capital!”
When Harold rushed and crashed, the merchant’s wagon full of goods was overturned by that alone, and the horses that were tied to the wagon and ran amok carelessly brushed against Harold’s body, and their bodies were cut to pieces like butter.
Just by brushing against it while running, everything in its path is cut, crushed, and collapsed.
Seeing Harold rushing with the force of plowing the ground, he couldn’t stand the guards, who had only been trained a little.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“Run away…… !”
The guards threw down their spears and started to run away, and Harold stormed into the capital without any obstacles.
“Look at me! Look at me! Not great! Awesome! I am! We are!”
The moment he entered the capital, Harold rushed towards the place where there seemed to be the most people nearby.
There was a certain building in the direction Harold rushed into.
Just in time for lunch. It was a popular restaurant and it was more crowded than other places.
The people inside the restaurant heard the commotion outside and poked their heads out for a moment, then went black when they saw Harold rushing towards them.
“Monster! It is a monster!”
“Kyaaa!”
“Stomach, guards! Where did the guards go?!”
“My God… !”
Harold rushed into the restaurant entrance, and he drew his weapon and held it up to show off.
12 Swords. 5 Windows. 7 Axes. 2 Shields. 3 Maces.
He holds all those weapons, one in each hand, holds them high and swings them wildly.
Kwaaang!!
It was a signal of tragedy.
* * *
“…… !!”
After training with Monia in the morning, Sena, who went to work as usual, was startled when suddenly her sword rattled strangely.
“Why, why are you doing this?”
I’ve never had a reaction like this while carrying a sword.
The moment Senna grabbed her handle to hold back her sword, her tentacles burst out wildly and burrowed into her.
“Ugh?!”
It was also the first time that tentacles had penetrated her body even though she hadn’t even pulled them out of the scabbard.
“What!”
Surprised, Senna shouted and tried to put her sword into her scabbard. However, the parasite inside the sword wrapped its tentacles around the scabbard and prevented the blade from going inside.
In the end, Senna had no choice but to draw the sword.
As she drew her sword, all the tentacles burrowed into Senna’s wrists, stroking her sword as she felt her body transform into a hero.
“Why the hell all of a sudden?”
Senna’s sword, Hopper, has been with him for a long time, and it has been with the parasites that live in it for a long time as well.
It was an unpleasant object with terrible memories, but at the same time, there was trust that it was a weapon that Sena could handle.
But that trust seemed about to be broken now.
Could it be that this parasite is doing something strange to your body, turning you into a monster right now?
“It is a monster!”
“Wow!”
Sena, who was worried about her unknown by the screams outside, shrank as if a thief had numb her feet.
“Everyone run away! Run away!”
“Someone please help! My husband has been caught! …… Kyaaa!!”
“What is that! How could such a creature exist in this world!”
“…… That’s a ruin monster! The guy who ran away from the Ruins of the 13 Heroes!”
Amid the commotion outside, the first thing that came to Senna’s mind wasn’t the lives of the people in the city.
“Rex.”
The first thing that came to Senna’s mind was the image of a poor little boy who had been terribly transformed by an artifact.
“What about Rex?”
The next thing that came to mind was two couples who, like themselves, must have terrible memories because of the artifact.
Sena looked out the window of the driver’s waiting area.
I see people running away from something.
Seeing that, Sena jumped out of her window and started running towards her mansion.
