Chapter 456 – King of Beasts (4)
The sound of flesh being cut is not particularly pleasant to hear.
The same goes for warriors who are good at slicing away living things in a fight to the death.
Even more so if it comes from my body.
Whiiying—!!
I blankly watched as the right arm holding the spear flew off somewhere as if being eaten by the darkness.
Horsha also lost his footing, so he couldn’t pursue me anymore, but even the mana of Beast Return that he managed to wrap around at the last moment couldn’t stop his heartfelt attack.
Even after the forearms, leather armor, and armor buffs on the epaulettes and the mana coating were cut off, blood gushed out from my chest to my stomach. If he had been hit in the state of inner armor, he would have become a Norse.
“… Big!!”
─Kooung!! When the bloody nausea rang in my throat, I finished the short flight and hit the backboard hard in an unknown space. It fell from the sky
“Cheak!! Fuck Amy… !!”
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Blood flowed from his forearm like a hose that he forgot to turn off the faucet. I grit my teeth and hit the
Damn… !!
“C.
I thought I shouldn’t be caught, but I couldn’t hold back my screams.
I didn’t want to do this crazy method of hemostasis, but excessive bleeding was dangerous. It is a matter of death before the battle continuation ability.
But I knew after looking at the scar on my chest that I wasn’t in a situation to think about that. As I checked the depth of the long cut, I became more amazed that I hadn’t fainted from shock.
‘… Wow, plague. There were giblets sticking out of the stomach.’
Red lumps were smeared on the palm of the fucking palm.
This isn’t Kangbukho’s built-in soup. Mother. Do you think it’s okay to be pink?
‘… The potion…’
I reached for the inventory stone slab.
Patter…
However, all he picked up was a piece of stone, like Dalgona, which had failed while making it.
Still, it was a damn familiar color. It is a stone slab enchanted with space magic.
“Hey, shit… This is smashing…”
Well, it’s not a game.
It’s an immature idea to hope that the item in your pocket is fine after a bloody fight.
The coordinate point in the inventory is not Veronica, so it can be restored.
But now that wasn’t the problem.
I was in a situation where I was afraid to buy a recovery potion, but my inventory was locked. And the Nord I knew was a pure DLT with no recovery period of its own. You’re a bitch behind your mother.
“This fucking kills Tsunade too…”
I fell face down on the floor.
It is a situation where the intestines are peeking out of the abs while Mana is also showing the bottom. To be honest, if wanting to survive even after doing this is not excessive greed, what is excessive greed?
If Dana comes down to heal me, I don’t know, but it would be a vain hope.
“… Whoa. Cool, cool… !”
The countless thoughts and thoughts that came to mind before death were cut off by the hemoptysis of blood protruding from the throat.
“Patience. I cut her chest and she’s bleeding.”
In the belly, a long thing sticks out every time you cough.
Is it because of that? A bitter smile escaped from my lips.
I am also an aspiring veterinarian. I intend to know well enough where and how much I have to be injured to cut my chest and cough up blood, and how low the chances of a patient surviving are low.
The word fatal injury is ridiculous.
Now I’m more like a conscious corpse.
If I wasn’t a warrior who transcended humans, I would have been left behind long ago. I half-opened my eyes and held on to my mind, which seemed to be about to explode with adrenaline.
‘… I can’t help but die.’
If you die because you made a mistake, you have no choice but to accept it. There may be points of reflection, but if you search for them, it will be a meaningless regret.
However, that story is limited to my death.
I can’t let my wives die.
I hate to imagine what would happen to them if I really died like this, but it was a situation that would happen whether I like it or not. No matter how much I thought about it, this is the part where there is no answer.
What I have to think about now is what to do with Horsha.
‘If I let her live, I’ll go upstairs and attack her wives.’
If that happens, it will be annihilated… I know that bitch’s personality well. The kid will probably come this far.
With the determination to confirm my death with my own eyes and to ensure that I am killed.
‘I’ll have no choice but to aim for that time and use the remaining mana in a clumsy surprise attack.’
I held my breath, trying to fake death.
It was fucking painful because of the blood that was filling up in my lungs.
I felt like I was about to open my mouth and cough bloody coughs, but if pretending to be dead increased the chances of my wives surviving, why couldn’t I stand it?
‘… What?’
I tried to extinguish even the mana of the Beast Return that I had smoked up, but stopped for a moment because something caught my eye while I was lying down.
Dolmen? No It’s like a ruin built with some kind of stone.
‘Was it Stonehenge? … ? Yes. It looked like that.’
It was a ruin where the stones piled up in the shape of π formed a circle. As I recalled the ruins I had seen in pictures on Earth, I noticed the presence of a stone in the middle and blinked.
[Record. Remember leave atone.]
[Record. Remember leave atone.]
[Record. Remember leave atone.]
Inscribed on Stonehenge was the same phrase as the relics of the Beast Return found in Sargadis before. It was probably written before the five sense characters were even invented, and it was just copied without knowing the meaning.
‘… Was the dolmen in Sargadis also a Stonehenge?’
Even then, I thought it was a ruin that gave me a sense of déjà vu, but was it similar to this place before it was damaged?
I read the inscription on the stele as I listened to her so that I would know when Horsha was coming.
Much of the text was spoken by Horsha.
It is a legend that implies the existence of the ‘Wolfhedin of Prophecy’.
However, there were several lines of pictograms on the stela, as if the bastard who built this stela had engraved pictograms on it.
A scene where a painting that appears to be a god makes a human being.
The scene where the human becomes a beast after being wrapped in light—probably the beast return.
And at the end of the beast gradually becoming a human like the painting of ‘human evolution’, it is a scene that is sublime like a picture of God.
“What is this… Cool, cool!”
After holding my breath and coughing, I wiped the blood from my lips in confusion.
‘… Fuck. Wait a minute.’
No, really, wait a minute.
Let’s think about it. Think, Kang Buk-ho. Think!
‘Wolfhedin is a being that does not become a beast? Sebel, then why does that painting depict the intermediate process of becoming a beast and then returning to a human?’
I didn’t understand.
Did Horsha cover Gura? No way. Not likely.
Perhaps the bastard saw that picture and thought he was Wolfheddin. She was a beast – a troll – but since she regained her self as a human, she must have thought that she would be perfect as long as she returned to her human appearance.
However, I, who is the closest to the legendary wolfheddin that the troll professor roared about, I have no memory of becoming a beast.
Beast Return is almost passive to me. If I should have become, I should have become a ‘beast’ long ago.
On the day Juji grew up, did he step on the beastization-humanization tech as if he was metamorphosed in one night?
That, too, is a difficult reasoning. Tirshi’s examination confirmed that the mutations in my body were confined to Juji.
If so, why? I opened my eyes wide and urged the elite Daegaltong to answer.
‘From beasts to humans… Is it evolution?’
That’s it.
It is certainly. What that picture refers to is ‘evolution’.
It’s not an evolution that suddenly causes mutations like Digimon or Pokemon, but real evolution.
It is the “Evolution” Of evolutionary theory advocated by Darwin, who was on a losing streak in another world.
Changes in DNA that occur over generations.
A life that became a human from a beast.
In other words——he was an earthling.
“… Really?”
I forgot the pain and opened my mouth.
Humans in this world were created by gods from clay. First of all, it can be called an animal because it moves with a will, but it is not an ‘animal’ in academic terms.
Compared to them, earthlings are animals.
It’s because I’m a round-bones metamorphosis monkey that’s dogginagain with the walking-elk pups I used to fight on the farm.
‘If this hypothesis is correct——.’
It’s not like I can use Beast Return without penalty, and being a grandiose being called Wolfheddin is all that is——
‘──Because I’m an Earthling who went through evolutionary technology from an ape, isn’t it the same stupid reason?’
Fuck nimmy please say no
I prayed so much for a hypothesis that was so absurd and shocking, but my intuition was telling me that this was true.
The reason why I use Beast Return with high performance from the beginning and don’t suffer from the side effects of becoming a beast is because I am a human on Earth who evolved from a beast and gained wisdom from the start?
If that’s the case, then I could handle the beast return.
Quite literally——I meant that it was because I was a beast named “Human”!
