Chapter 198 – Chapter 191 – Wolf and Goddess (2)
When Silnia came to the seat, the goddess asked a question.
“Are there any girls who haven’t come yet? When we fell earlier, it seemed at first glance that there were more adults.”
“If it’s just the two of them…”
As Hernan was about to reply, the wolf poked his head out toward the garden gate.
“Go away!”
At the same time, the garden gate slammed shut with a loud noise.
Seeing the bluish energy, it seemed that they were using divine power.
“L!”
Outside the door, there was the faint sound of sharpies and potties calling.
Hernán said to the gods as he let go of Carine he was carrying.
“There is a group of us out there. Even if it is difficult for the demon king, Potty, the wizard, is inside…”
“Isn’t that year the Demon?”
The wolf growled, showing its huge teeth.
“The smell unique to demons and the magic stone inside the body. Besides, even the ears of animals that humans shouldn’t have. Did your warrior party have demons as companions?”
At the words of the wolf, not only Hernan but also the women were confused.
“Hey Karine! Was it Potima? You said you recruited him?”
“I don’t know. Now that I think about it, it seems like a demon. Aren’t your actions beastly?”
“Karine! Are you coming here to disparage your colleague?”
“What about colleagues…”
Hernán hurriedly opened his mouth to the conversation that came and went in a voice close to her whisper.
“Goddess. Can I talk to the goddess first?”
Hernan spoke to the goddess instead of the wolf god of war.
It seemed that nothing would go smoothly if the war god took the lead in the conversation.
“Is it so. There is too little time right now to talk about anything else.”
Hernan’s strategy was fortunately correct.
“Woden.”
The goddess who summoned the wolf shot out cold eyes.
The war god answered with a slight wink.
“Why?”
“Don’t open your mouth and reinforce the shield.”
“Are you telling me to get out of the conversation right now? There are a lot of important things right now, but you took me out!”
“Are you in a position to open your mouth right now?”
The goddess lifted up her torn top.
Then, instead of her white and fine skin, a large, terribly pierced wound was revealed.
“Will a god who specializes in combat leave the battlefield, leaving me alone with the demon? Do you have anything more to say?”
The wolf was visibly taken aback.
Even the ferocious eyes, which seemed to never be resolved, changed to stupidity in an instant.
“No, what does that have to do with this now? Of course, it’s not that I’m not sorry…”
“How come you haven’t changed since we first came to this world! Don’t open your mouth until I give you permission.”
“I have a lot to say too! Quite important…”
“I haven’t given permission yet.”
The wolf’s tail drooped.
“Ki-ing…”
The goddess stood in front of Hernan and the others, leaving behind the dead god of war.
“Now the wolf is quiet.”
The goddess lowered her voice so that the wolf could not hear it.
“But that wolf is so hot-tempered. After a while, he’ll forget what I just said and start running again.”
Hernán nodded his head.
The wolf said that when she saw a gap, she left the goddess and jumped right into this place.
I did that even in an urgent situation, so I don’t know how the things I calmed down now will change when the situation becomes urgent.
“Then Goddess.”
Hernán opened his mouth as he touched his side, which was sore from being beaten by the wolf.
“Did the goddess come to help us escape?”
The eyes of the goddess quickly scanned the party.
At that moment, Hernán felt her marina flinch.
“It is. Although, to be exact, I came to rescue her saintess.”
There was a hint of Marina moving her hand nervously.
“However.”
The goddess paused for a moment.
In that brief moment, Marina’s hand wriggled even more anxiously.
“My saintess is no longer a saintess.”
Originally, she would have soothed her anxiety by playing with her pigtails, but perhaps because she was in front of the goddess, her Marina’s hand was wandering, lost in her place.
“Oh, Goddess. I am… So I…”
There was a condition for Marina to be a saint, that is, an existence that uses mighty divine power.
That was her promise to God.
Keep your chastity.
“Ah, now I…”
Inevitable shame and embarrassment flashed on Marina’s face, which always showed her calm and intelligent side.
Water quickly formed in Marina’s eyes, who rarely cried.
The Goddess of Mercy looked at her and quietly opened her mouth.
“Marina. It hurts me to say this, but her promise is a promise…”
Before the goddess could finish her calm words, Hernán went to her Marina.
“Goddess.”
Standing with her marina half covered, Hernán grabbed her trembling hand.
“Hernan! The Goddess is speaking… !”
Marina was shocked, lowering her voice.
But as Hernán held her hand tighter, she soon quieted down.
“I apologize for interrupting the conversation rudely, Goddess.”
Hernan, the man who received Marina’s virginity, bowed his head to the goddess of mercy.
“And I apologize for laying a hand on your saintess.”
“If you go outside and this fact becomes known to the church, you, Hernán, will have a hard time dying gracefully.”
Marina’s hand trembled at the words of the goddess, who even said her gravely.
The more he did, the stronger he held Marina’s hand, and Hernán continued her conversation.
“Of course that must be when you go out.”
The goddess nodded her head as she placed her hand, imbued with her divine power, on the wound on her stomach.
“Is it so. If you go out, that will be it.”
Hernán saw a slight interest in her goddess’s expression.
Feeling dizzy from the feeling of her head spinning, Hernán collected her thoughts.
Why did the gods come here?
Only the God of War and the Goddess of Mercy?
Karine came into Ernan’s field of vision.
And through her hands, she could feel Marina’s presence behind her back.
“When you first came here, did you plan to take anyone besides Carine and Marina?”
Even while asking the question, Hernán prayed for mercy in his heart.
Honestly, it’s a bit disrespectful for a human to throw at a god.
However, when he remembered the fact that the god standing in front of him was the goddess of mercy and the women behind him, Hernán calmed his tremors.
“Marina and Karine.”
The goddess made eye contact with Ernan and gave her a strange look.
“Is it so. Rather than me, the goal of the war god was those two. To be honest, I didn’t really expect much of the rest of them to be alive.”
The sound of Silnia gulping her saliva could be heard loudly behind her.
Hernán resisted swallowing her saliva, and she listened to the goddess.
“Because there are very few cases where humans captured by demons are released gracefully. We knew that Marina or Karine was not dead, because her soul did not return to us.”
“But we are all alive.”
“Even with the population increased?”
At the soft joke of her goddess, Hernán responded with a similar feeling.
“Quite a lot. Because the Demon God’s experiments were quite bizarre.”
The goddess looked for a moment at the magic that was still knocking on the ceiling’s shield.
“There are many times we have interfered with Demon God’s experiments, but this is the first time he has had a seizure this violently. It looks like you put a lot of effort into it.”
The Goddess, who was about to shrug her shoulders, let out her moan as the wound on her shoulder opened.
“Ugh… Anyway, Hernan, you’re asking me if I’m willing to let everyone out here?”
She seemed to have no intention of turning the goddess back on her horse, probably because she was in pain.
“If only I, the Goddess of Mercy, wished to have her mercy. Wolf, if you don’t have anything to do, you’re going to leave right away or kill it, right?”
Instead of waiting for her opponent’s answer, she said the goddess right away.
“I intend to escape with all of you. I can’t leave my children alive and well, can I?”
“Really? Including my children… Yo. This?”
Silnia, who was excited for a moment, almost forgot her honorific words, but the goddess shook her hand and overcame the rudeness.
“Is it so. Escape is not that difficult. Isn’t that why the drunken god is making a fuss like that? But.”
The word “Just” Is always powerful.
Her mood, which was about to lighten up, was instantly subdued by that one adverb that the goddess added at the end.
The goddess gazed at the gates of her garden, wiping her golden blood from the corner of her mouth.
“Not everyone.”
* * *
-Bang
The magic hitting the shield made a roar.
The wolf growled and fired another thin shield, but it seemed difficult to slow down the crack already.
“Not everyone… Are you saying there are only some of us?”
When Karine asked with her breathless attitude, Silnia joined in as well.
“Goddess! They just said they could be my kids too!”
“Calm down, everyone.”
The goddess vomited her golden blood with her cough.
“As you can see, both me and the war scene are exhausted. Besides, the sacred power of the old gods is strong here, so it is difficult to recover the divine power.”
“Are you saying there is a limit on the number of people?”
Marina asked a question while holding Hernán’s hand.
The goddess shook her head with an ambiguous feeling.
“No. It doesn’t mean that.”
“Then what the hell… No way?”
Hernán gritted his teeth at the sudden ominous feeling.
Seeing Hernan like that, the goddess bounced her hand toward her garden gate.
Then the intermittent knocking on the door and the sound of talking stopped.
“I blocked the sound.”
The fact that it meant Hernán felt even more dizzy.
“We are the gods of mankind. Humanity is ours.”
The goddess sat on the rubble rolling around.
Erasing her troubled expression, she looked around the whole place.
“The demons… Let’s just say it’s the Demon God’s family.”
Hernán hurriedly opened his mouth at the ominous feeling that her heart was about to explode.
“Could it be that you can’t take the demons with you?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere completely froze.
The women were just silent with strange faces mixed with shock and realization.
“Is it so. If our strength is intact, even the demonic women will be dragged away by force, but now it is impossible even with the power of the war god.”
– Kwak Kwang
The magic exploded again, and the ceiling’s defenses were rapidly collapsing.
The time for cruel choices has come.
“I would like to help you make a choice by explaining further, but I don’t have much time to do that. If I waste my time here, the wolf might solve things in its own way.”
God was asking humans to make a choice.
“Hernan, it seems you are the actual leader of this warrior party.”
The goddess bounced her hand back.
Hernán made a surprised expression when he sensed the pain stabbing in his side was gone.
“You take the lead and discuss with the women here now. I can’t give you that much time.”
It is both merciful and cruel.
It is merciful because it gives people more freedom to choose, but cruel because the choice is painful.
Of course, the situation was too urgent for Hernán to ponder such thoughts.
But even in that situation, Hernán hastily increased the options presented by her goddess.
“You guys go out.”
“What? Even if we go out by ourselves, the Sharpies and Potties that remain here… What?”
Sylnia’s face went blank for a moment.
It was the same for Karine and Marina.
“What are you talking about?”
“L!”
Hernán held back her dizziness and opened her mouth.
“If you are with the goddess, you can return to the kingdom right away. Without me, there are only the children and you, so it must not be easy.”
Leaving the women with blank expressions, Hernán continued his explanation.
“No, thinking about it, going out by yourself might be more helpful.”
“What is that…”
“If only you guys leave, the demon has two options.”
Filling this place with 25 people with 6 people is probably an experiment that the Demon God can never give up.
Then he would try to continue the experiment no matter what.
“Fill 25 people with the remaining people. Or bring back the people who left.”
“It’s fun.”
The goddess who had been listening quietly interrupted her.
“Originally, women and illegitimate children would suffer greatly if they went to the kingdom. Not only the bad perception of illegitimate children, but the fact that all the women here gave birth to illegitimate children is a very fatal weakness, right?”
The goddess looked around at the illegitimate princess, the saint who swore chastity, and the elf who hated mixing blood with humans.
“But it’s different if the Demon God is plotting to catch you. Perhaps the gods themselves will step in and try to protect it.”
“Ah!”
Marina exclaimed, understanding what she meant.
“Then… Then we will be safe from humans and safe from demons!”
“If the attention of all the gods is focused, even the demons can’t help it. Although he is very powerful, it will be difficult to fight all of the human gods.”
The goddess looked at Hernan and smiled.
Hernán said quietly, averting her eyes from that smile.
“Okay. In my opinion, there is a high possibility that the devil will try to bring you back somehow. If that wasn’t the case, it would have been enough to just attach a suitable human male and several demons in the first place.”
However, the Demon God chose the difficult way.
And according to Hernán’s guess, the demon seems to have led the warrior party here more elaborately than expected.
If anyone can bring them in and breed them, there is no need for such trouble.
‘In the first place, I just need to attach a suitable human male and several demons?’
At that time, Hernán felt something unpleasant about the thought he had just brought up.
It doesn’t seem to be related to escape now.
But the situation is too tight to hold on to it any longer.
Hernán shook off the thoughts in his head.
“So you guys get out. Take the kids That way is best.”
Best way.
She came out of his mouth and the goddess guaranteed.
The most sensible and best escape and after-the-fact guarantee since I came here.
This is the best answer to the question, ‘What should I do after going outside?’
“I will stay here a little longer. I really liked the position of king.”
That’s why Hernan said calmly.
“I don’t have much time.”
He deliberately kept his gaze away, thinking that there were pictures of both children and women in Karine’s studio below.
Only then would he be able to remain expressionless.
“Sylnia, Marina, and Carine.”
– Bang, bang, bang, bang
The splendid magic bombing sound made by the demon announces the time left.
“I hope everyone can answer quickly.”
Hernán waited for an answer in an eternity.
