Taming The Villainesses chapter 426

(EP.426) Those Who Do #1

426 – The Stopper #1

The further north we went, the more bizarre monsters appeared in front of us.

Its body is like an insect squashed by a small child. Or, there were those who were like lumps of energy that were lumped together like mud that could be called a form itself.

“Cut the half moon!”

Shaaah!

Mirna’s sharp blade cut through the body of the mud that had jumped into the air in half. However, the mud that fell on both ends of the floor just sticks to each other and regenerates itself.

Then the hunter drew a dagger from his waist and skillfully threw it at a lump of mud. Shh. The dagger that flew through the air hit the mud that was sticking together.

-Early profit… !

The mud melts with a strange scream. A hunter with a hilt of a dagger left on the floor. He said after wiping the mud lightly with his sleeve.

“They have a nucleus the size of a little fingernail inside their body. If you destroy it, you can defeat it.”

It was a short and concise explanation. But it was quite helpful. Soon, we too were able to deal with the mud monsters sensibly.

Shh.

━Early profit!

“It’s easy if you know the tricks.”

Stella said while pulling an arrow from the monster’s body.

“But this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a monster. Is it the kind that evolved independently here?”

Priestess Miriam, who was wiping the mace, answered that question.

“It is said that there are creatures that fell from the sky. Like this in the rift beyond that sky—”

Kwajik.

ㅡ Quick profit… !

“Terrible monsters are falling. No matter how hard I try, there will be no end. It keeps falling from the other world towards this world.”

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Narmi asked Priest Miriam’s words.

“Another world?”

“Oh, I just didn’t hear it.”

Miriam seemed to think she had made a speech mistake. But words cannot be picked up. Narmi, who was already interested, never backed down.

“Is there another world beyond that sky? Something like heaven?”

At Narmi’s question, Priestess Miriam put on a rather perplexed expression. When she parted her lips to say something-.

“that… .”

“There is no such thing as heaven. There is only pain out there.”

The silent hunter opened his mouth instead.

it’s just pain

It was a very assertive attitude. We all kept our mouths shut for a moment because the words were resolute, as if we had been there before.

If I had asked what that meant anyway, the reticent man would have spared no words. Speak when you want to speak. If you want to keep your mouth shut, shut it. I’m just living life the way I want to live.

Still, he was a man who didn’t say useless things. Only say important things, as if you are trying to save energy. That’s why we never listened to the hunter’s words.

As we progressed, one by one, fulfilling our respective roles, we were able to reach a large cliff.

Below it was the sky that looked like windows smashed by a baseball and the broken city below.

broken city.

Who the hell gave it the nickname the Broken City?

I don’t know who he was, but he was quite expressive. Because the scene could only be described as literally broken.

Looking down at the small city below the cliff, Elgar shrugged lightly.

“That’s Gargata, the last city… . It’s not like this world. It’s all messed up.”

I didn’t respond to Elgar’s words, but I also agreed with it. it is jumbled up After making a six-sided cube named city. It looked like they were all mixed together.

The road either rises to the sky or goes down to the ground. Buildings did not sprout from the bottom up, but there were also those that sprouted from the top to the bottom.

Looking at the roads and buildings floating in the air, it seemed as if the laws of physics of this world were not being applied.

But the thing that scratches our nerves the most is… .

aaah-!!!

━Ger yaak ━──!!!

They must be howling monsters clinging to the city walls like a swarm of ants. It was like hell to see all the monsters that disappeared from the north side gathered under that sky and clamored.

That number seems to be more than ten thousand, or well, tens of thousands. It must have been crazy for us to break through there. It would be wise to take a step forward like this.

Shhh, giggling.

Stella looked at the castle wall with the telescope she took out of her bag.

“Too many. And on the ogre… , on a troll… . There are a lot of terrible monsters.”

Mirna frowned at those words.

“Didn’t you say that all the trolls were annihilated during the war with the demon king?”

“I guess it wasn’t all. It would definitely be difficult to break through head-on like this.”

Of course we were going to take the shortcut. According to Priestess Miriam of the Hunter’s Party, they knew a secret passageway to the old city of Gargatha.

Then there would be no need to forcibly break through that wall. There’s no need to throw us away at that monster army.

“… … .”

Come to think of it now, I had no idea how lucky I was to have met them over the wall. The fact that I sent them over the wall through a duel trial would act like an arrangement like this.

I’m lucky too.

“Goes.”

Shh. Then the hunter turned and headed somewhere. As I turned my back to follow him one by one, I noticed that Aira was barely taking her steps off the cliff.

Aira’s eyes looked down on the ruined city.

“I, Ira-sama?”

“That city, what you see isn’t everything.”

“Isn’t it all that you see?”

“It’s much bigger than it looks. That’s huge. However, I can feel it. There’s that man somewhere in that great city.”

With those words, Ira quickly turned her back.

* * *

There was a mountain near the broken city.

It’s not the original mountain.

When the demon king and the opposing forces were at war for a long time, it was said that it was a mountain created by the demon king’s powerful tectonic change magic.

You create mountains with magic. I feel terrified to think that I am a transcendent who has reached the 10th rank. The height is about 500 m.

The rocks are sharp like teeth, and the trees that have grown up are also full of thorns like acacia. The climb was not difficult as the slope was quite steep.

However, no matter how steep the mountain, it will be much better than breaking through the monsters lurking in the front door. So everyone was on the way up the mountain without any complaints.

“It’s here.”

The hunter stopped in front of a strange cave.

“If you go in here, you can head to the city.”

He asserted that a cave in the mountain was a shortcut to the city.

How the hell do you get into the city through this cave? Maybe it’s connected to something like the city’s groundwater, so they secretly enter through the sewer?

That’s all I can guess right now.

Then the priestess Miriam trembled.

“I heard it’s not the usual way, but… . It’s usually not dangerous to go in here. Hunter, are you really the only one here?”

At that, Mirna also nodded her head.

“It’s a little bit difficult for me to go into this cave… .”

I asked.

“Why?”

“Sir Tae-oh, can’t you feel anything? This cave, no, rather than a cave… . It’s like the intestines of a living monster.”

I don’t know.

However, Mirna was a woman with an excellent sense of spirit and body.

The same goes for Miriam, the priest of the hunter party. If they were feeling repulsed, there was a high probability that something was definitely wrong with them.

Then, the hunter, who had not said anything about this secret path until now, said:

“Those who give up give up. Go back and end your life in the arms of your family. If you pass this road, you cannot go back to your old life.”

Those heavy words contained quite a bit of power. As I said before, he wasn’t bragging or speaking just to scare me.

So, I had no choice but to quietly ponder what he said.

If I enter this place, will I be able to go back to my old life? It was difficult to understand what that meant, but I’m guessing it’s not that dangerous.

That was then.

━━─!

At the bottom of the mountain, I felt quite a big hit. As we lowered our heads, we saw some torches burning over the mountain road we had passed in the distance.

Said female warrior Renee.

“What is it, you guys? Did you come with a lot of tails? They look like pursuers from the Church.”

Renee’s savage intuition was correct. That torch is undoubtedly that of the cult pursuers.

How the hell did you get here? Stella and the hunter, who are good at chasing and escaping, must have erased all the traces. Did I have a GPS device attached to my body?

silkygoat was the goat. cry

No, I don’t have time to worry about that.

We had to choose between jumping into a cavern like the mouth of a monster or confronting the pursuers of the cult following them.

Then said the hunter.

“It is still not too late. Teo Gospel, go back.”

“… … .”

“If you say “-. I can’t be a great person to go back to. It’s fragile, but once you make up your mind, you don’t give up. You are such a man.”

It was as he said.

I didn’t want to go back. I’ve already given up a lot of things to come this far. Now, you can’t go back and live happily as if nothing had happened.

I really wanted to know.

Why am I going through these things?

In fact, that was the only thought in my head.

seeking answers.

As a result of solving numerous problems, all the formulas for the answer were directed here. Now, all you have to do is check the answer. I can’t come back now.

I said.

“Everyone—.”

However, there is no moment for me to finish speaking, and someone walks ahead of me. She was Elgar. Elgar, who took a few steps ahead into the cave, said to us.

“What are you doing? If you stay like this, you will be caught by the pursuers. If we are caught this time, we may have to pray for a thousand days and early morning prayers.”

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Narmi shakes her body.

“I hate morning prayers!”

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Narmi also walks through the cave with Elgar. As if given momentum by that seemingly natural action, we moved into the cave one by one.

I also take heavy steps slowly.

right then

jiri lit.

It felt like something was holding my ankle strongly, so I stopped. It was as if someone was preventing anyone from going inside.

Perhaps it was because of that momentary pause, a lot of clutter-like things swirled inside me. The feeling of wanting to turn around and lie down on a cozy bed like this.

I also remember the dog squirrel Keng Keng that I left behind at home, and the rustling tails of Marmar and Imp friends who always welcome me.

If this is going forward-.

I might lose everything I had.

But, having already made up my mind, I took one more step.
