050 In the Empire, beasts kill people (1)
“So what did you do?”
“I told you frankly. If you’re not going to say anything, please leave.”
“Uhhh!”
Sir Elizabeth quickly pulled out a handkerchief and buried her face.
She seemed to be in quite good shape from the morning, and whenever I said something, she would squirm or burst into laughter like this.
I gently stroked Demi’s back, pressing her thighs tightly.
In front of the podium, Marquis François Duhem was giving a congratulatory speech at the opening ceremony of ‘The Great Subjugation of Demons’.
“Irrespective of your identity, regardless of age or gender! The noble spirit of spirit who came to subjugate…”
“Then, did the Crown Prince go away?”
Kristel, who was sitting to my right, asked quietly. I nodded.
“It looks like you really didn’t have a purpose. You rushed out like when you came. Later, I found out that the confessional door was half way away.”
“Oh my, you even took care of someone else’s house because you were angry.”
At Kristel’s admiration, Sir Elizabeth sobbed in silence.
We occupied the VIP seat behind the podium, and in the highest seat, Prince Sedric sat with a unique, statue-like expressionless expression.
I don’t know what his condition is, but Sir Elizabeth has said many times that the prince’s victory is virtually certain.
“To the nobles who came for infinite encouragement and support, and dear Young Ji-min! welcome!”
Then the Marquis Duhem spit out the last words,
“Wow!”
“Long live His Majesty the Prince!”
“Championship! Championship! Championship! Championship!”
Then there were shouts that were deafening to the ears.
Kristel and Sir Elizabeth kept their backs upright and took care of their facial expressions.
I was astonished for the sixth time today alone by the crowd I saw for the first time after possessing it.
There were also many people in the zodiac, but the thousands were not gathered together in such a frenzy.
What I saw at the ‘Go General Trading Post’ was truly a medicine.
Now, they felt almost the level of madness of the Korean-Japanese war.
“Dum! Dumm! Dumm!”
“If we unite! Anganchi! When scattered! It gets divisive!”
Slogans of unknown origin resounded through the plains.
A scorching heat soared into the clear, clear May sky.
People who wrote phrases on paper the size of a door, and people waving flower bouquets and towels, the audience was all in natural colors.
It was such an energy that my heart trembled even for me, whose goal was to dry my whole body and demi until the end.
“His Majesty the Prince, distinguished guests. Come down this way!”
Marquis Duem, who had come to the back of the podium, gracefully pointed to the stairs.
The prince got up first and moved with his escort.
I walked with Kristel in front and looked everywhere without a trace.
“Long live the Lister Empire! hurray! hurray!”
“Long live Prince Sedric! hurray!”
In the two rows of spectator seats, the left side was the nobles’ seat and the right side was the commoners’ seats, and both sides were filled with spectators, so the standing seats were considerable.
In general, the support of the commoners was bigger and wilder, but surprisingly, the nobles did not take it out.
Most of the participants were noble swordsmen or wizards, so their family and friends seemed familiar with this atmosphere.
There were already several people drinking and shouting loudly.
“Hey, go to the portal in the middle.”
The long fingertips of the marquis pointed to the center of the arena.
The spectators on both sides, seated opposite each other across a 100-meter-wide plain, cheered even louder when they saw us.
I double-checked the portal motion sickness pill I put on in the morning.
Hundreds of disposable portals made for the competition filled the floor that had become bare overnight.
All the other participants were on the portal, and the opening ceremony was over when we finally climbed the portal in the middle.
“The participants are ready to leave!”
“Wow!”
As the Marquis spoke to the long magic tool, his voice rang through the arena.
It would be nice if someone as many as a marquis could watch the event, but I didn’t think I would entrust such a fun task to someone else because of my human nature.
“Nice to see you again.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Kristel, who entered the portal, shuddered, and Sir Elizabeth laughed out loud.
As I was familiar with, the two of us, Demi, and the prince were in a group.
We had never agreed to each other, but seeing them gathered like this was both funny and absurd.
Well, no one will die.
“Prince, here is the bag.”
Benjamin and Canael, who were sitting on the first floor of the Nobility Seat, hurriedly approached and held out their luggage.
It was a leather package containing simple food, water, and essential medicines.
I wrapped it around my chest and draped it behind my back.
Looking around, it seemed that other people were also using the interlude to check weapons and food.
“thank you. Don’t worry, we’ll get back to you safely.”
“Yes, I will pray.”
“You have to worry about the devil. Stay strong, Prince!”
The two were affectionately cheering. I smiled and looked down at Demi.
“Demi, would you like to get off now? It’s dangerous, so I can’t go with you.”
– gurgle gurgle
The red panda bit my shoulder painlessly.
His eyes, like black beans, were full of dissatisfaction.
“Okay, I won’t be bullshit.”
I rubbed between his ears. Canael and Benjamin returned to their seats.
“Okay then, the portal!”
– Rumble!
After cutting off the Marquis’ words, thunder sounded from the mountain range.
Then the ground shook as if there was an earthquake. Participants also stumbled and fell.
The audience was buzzing with anxiety and excitement.
“… The prophecy came true! The advance of the beasts is imminent!”
The Marquis Duhem shouted with a raised voice.
“Wow!”
“Subjugate! Subjugation! Subjugation!”
The audience was like a Spartan army just before their departure.
I inadvertently swallowed dry saliva and reviewed what I had crammed.
‘Sanullim’ was a foreshadowing that occurred before the great beast subjugation began, that is, before the beasts came out of the ‘dungeon’.
Usually, after three mountain rings, the beast appears, but it was best for the participants to climb the mountain before that and prepare for battle.
The words ‘the prophecy was correct’ meant that the wizards who predicted that the beasts would appear today were right.
“Shouldn’t we come up with a strategy?”
I opened my mouth.
The wizards who came to the portal were preparing to inject mana.
You’ll be moving to anywhere on the mountain in an instant, so I thought it would be good to discuss something.
Kristel and Sir Elizabeth looked at me with serious eyes.
“Even if it’s simple how to respond to each attribute,”
“Are you afraid?”
A low voice pierced her ears.
I looked up at the orange eyes that were shining like the sun on the other side.
It disappeared like that yesterday, and it was an argument to say that it was hanging for the first time.
“No, because I am a much stronger priest than I looked. I was just asking because some of us didn’t seem to be able to speak.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Sir Elizabeth shattered her face again. The prince wrinkled his brow slightly.
“…then there’s nothing to worry about.”
– Rumble!
The second sanwoolim vibrated the stadium and the audience. Thousands of murmurs spread like waves.
Looking around, about half of the participants had already moved to the mountain via the portal.
A young-looking wizard was watching me with a helpless face behind me.
This must be today’s off duty.
“Wow, Your Majesty the Prince. I’ll infuse the portal with mana,”
“Not required.”
“it’s okay. Go and rest.”
“Yes? Ha, but…”
At the next prince and my words, the wizard widened his eyes.
Now, without notice, the prince scatters red and magnificent mana.
The little portal heated up in an instant like iron in a furnace.
– Whoa!
– Kiy
“I’m sorry, Demi. The ride is not very comfortable, is it?”
As I caressed the red panda digging into my arms, I whispered inaudible.
Soon his vision turned white.
*
“There is nothing yet.”
The first thing I heard was Kristel’s clear voice.
When she opened her eyes, she was picking her feet with an indigo whip in her hand.
There was a lot of mossy pebbles and it looked easy to slip.
I carefully lowered Demi and observed her son-in-law.
A rather sloping floor, a wide flowing stream, large and small rocks and shades of trees caught my eye.
A cool breeze blew from the top of the mountain.
The place we arrived at was a valley.
“There is a lot of water, so I would be comfortable.”
“That’s right, Princess Christel. Take good care of me.”
Sir Elizabeth answered cheerfully and drew her sword.
It was definitely a favorable condition for Kristel.
She was adaptable, and with me there was no need to worry about the ether.
Although there was a disadvantage that the floor was uneven, it would not be a big hindrance to the two prosecutors.
– Rumble rumble!
“ね.”
At that moment, the third and final ringing sounded in my ear.
It was such a loud and violent resonance that it was incomparable to what was heard in the plains.
I instinctively frowned and tried to balance my body.
The gorge overflowed in a mess, soaking the four men’s boots, and rocks and dirt danced up.
It wobbled up and down so much that the mountain stopped moving around the time the goal rang.
Sir Elizabeth shook her head lightly.
“It’s noisy at first.”
“Come.”
-Gee!
At the same time as the prince murmured, I opened the sanctuary.
I couldn’t detect the beast, but I knew from reading the book that the first advance of the beasts would begin after the 3rd mountain ringing was over.
Demi raised her tail and opened her mouth.
“Everyone, please stay in the circle.”
“yes.”
-Duck food!
– Kyaaah!
At that moment, a flock of black flying beasts attacked us from Udeumji.
Sir Elizabeth quickly blocked the front.
– Scream!
– Kwagwang!
Her sword cut through the air without hesitation.
The sword, which stretched out at an invisible speed, destroyed dozens of beasts the size of forearms in an instant.
Monsters that looked like bats fell to the floor.
“········It is strange.
Sir Elizabeth frowned as she shook her sword.
I immediately understood what she meant. it will be too,
– Whoa!
– Dude!
They were all passing us by.
He didn’t even care that some of the group had died.
Among the endless flying beasts, not one showed interest in the party.
All the guys heading to the bottom of the mountain are…
“It will run away.”
I murmured. The four pairs of eyes crossed quickly.
– Coogong!
The ground rumbled again. But it was different.
This wasn’t a mountain sound, it was the sound of something heavy standing on the ground. for example······.
– Koo!
It was similar to the sound effects in “Jurassic Park”. damn it
-thud!
– Hey!
Demi groaned and stood up, supporting herself on her hind legs.
A large thorn vine grew around him.
I spun a number of etheric beads on the palm of my hand.
Kristel, who met our eyes, was already surrounded by a thick stream of water in front of us.
-thud!
-Sureung!
The prince drew his sword with his left hand. It was at this moment that I realized he was left-handed.
– Crazy!
-Not falling…
The sound of trees being crushed and crushed nearby could be heard. The opponent was right in front of you.
A fly-hell the size of a pot-cap began to grow from Demi’s vines.
I tried to increase the area of the sanctuary somehow, but the maximum diameter was still 30m.
damn bishop level.
-thud!
– Aww!
With a howl that ripped through the air, it finally made its way through the grove of trees.
The three of them opened their mouths.
In front of us was a yellow body that was four stories high and yellow eyes that blinked vertically while standing on a pedestal.
Its thick hind legs and menacing tail felt like it would break bones at the touch of it.
Its terrifying cone-shaped teeth and short forelimbs created a discord that will never be forgotten.
Something is wrong.
“That’s a Tyrannosaurus….”
“‘The tyrant Jeonryong.'”
Kristel muttered blankly, the prince said firmly.
“Is it the demonic beast that His Majesty’s victory sacrifice was made?”
Did your mother catch a golden tyrannosaurus alone?
“It’s absurd, my lord. Wasn’t it said that a beast like that comes out once every two hundred years? How again after two years…”
Sir Elizabeth’s eyes trembled relentlessly. The prince did not answer.
The beast that had already escaped from the dungeon would not have been able to put it back in.
“It must be difficult to use water because it is an electric property.”
He turned to the three of us, to be exact, to me.
“You need a strategy.”
-thud!
– Chur ooh!
Tyra, no, the tyrant Jeonryong began to move. It felt like my brain was sweating.
Through the crazy situation, my mouth vomited out Korean emotions.
“Are you saying that now, you idiot!”
