Chapter 538 – 538. Undead Beast (1)
Kruck!
Smelling the prey, the herd is slowly approaching, kicking the ground with nimble feet.
It was the breath of the demonic beast that cut through the wind and drew closer, and the rumble of the ground.
The subtle tremors, which are difficult for ordinary people to even feel, were accurately detected by Erin’s senses and made her whole body tense.
She then turned her head in a certain direction and shouted.
“Anies-sama!”
“Joy.”
Anyes immediately snorted at her and Erin looked in a certain direction.
The Witchbeast that emerged from the thicket is a Warwolf characterized by agile movements that freely use bipedal and quadrupedal walking.
The war wolf’s legs, loaded with high agility, leaped over Agies and opened her mouth to bite her shoulder.
“Where? Shut your mouth.”
Knock!
She swung her fist up and lifted Warwolf’s chin, her teeth clanking and her mouth shut.
Big, ruth!
I pinned the screaming werewolf’s torso down with my feet to prevent it from escaping, then grabbed his forepaws and ripped them off wildly.
Kruck!
The cries of the Witchbeast, who lost one of his arms in an instant and felt indescribable pain, resonated throughout the forest.
Agies, as if he hadn’t bothered to care, stomped her head roughly, crushing her skull and ending her.
In this situation where not one, but many monsters attacked, she quickly and accurately dealt with the number of monsters. Es was already too used to fighting.
Krrr!
Another war wolf rushed to Aies and tried to attack her. As soon as Agies smashed the war wolf’s head, she immediately responded to another beast’s attack.
She put her own arm into the mouth of the beast that rushed to bite her body.
Kreuk!
Rather, laughing inwardly that he was a fool who gave up his prey himself, Warwolf put his strength on his jaw, ready to rip off his arm that had come into his mouth.
Nice… What?
But before long, as if embarrassed, the werewolf let out a small moan.
No matter how hard he tried to force his jaw to pierce his sharp teeth into his forearm, his teeth wouldn’t go in.
It was the first time I had experienced the feeling of biting hard steel, which was unthinkable for a small, delicate human woman’s arm, so I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Why? Can’t you chew?”
The Witchbeast couldn’t understand what he was saying, but he could understand that he was laughing at and belittling himself for trying to bite her arm somehow.
“Then let’s get right.”
Rather, as he swung his arms up and down, the werewolf’s body staggered and floated into the air.
Big, big!
Sensing her crisis, Warwolf immediately let go of the arm he was biting on and tried to fall away to increase the distance from Agies, but her other palm was already close to Warwolf’s cheek.
Damn!
After being slapped as hard as he could, Warwolf’s head jerked sideways and he slumped to the floor, kicking his defenseless torso to pieces, pulverizing his internal organs and bones.
‘At this rate, I don’t think I need a strong god.’
Agnes’s strong deity was her own trump card that allowed her to exercise her extreme physical power, but she needed a tremendous amount of divinity to enjoy that benefit, and her time limit and number of times were limited exists as
As such, Agies, who could not use her powers recklessly and recklessly, took care of the werewolves rushing at her leisurely one by one, while she glanced at Erin and Ayra.
“Eyra sister!”
“Okay!”
As soon as Ayra heard her Erin’s name called, she immediately drew her dagger from her waist belt and held it up, watching the direction she was pointing at her.
In addition to the longswords given to knights, the small daggers given as a reserve in case of an unexpected situation were tools to make up for the lack of attack power even a little bit when the main weapon, the longsword, was lost.
Kruck!
Ayra slammed the mouth of the werewolf that was charging at her with her gauntlet-wearing fist and at the same time thrust her dagger into the forearm of her beast as it slashed at her own face.
Big!
However, Warwolves are characterized by high agility and swift movements, but that does not mean that their physical strength is completely weak.
It’s not as good as an ogre, but it definitely belongs to the level of a mid-level monster, so it has more muscle strength than a normal human male, and can easily break a bone with just a proper blow.
Above all, what is truly dangerous is its sharp claws, which use its high agility and decent muscle strength to swing swiftly.
She glared ferociously at the human woman in front of her as she stuck her dagger in her own arm, then swung her other hand to tear her face open with her claws.
Erin, who couldn’t stand it and see it, intruded between Eira and Warwolf.
She burrowed into the beast’s arms and placed her palms on her torso.
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Hwajeopbalgyeong (胡蝶發勁)]
Perong!
A powerful shockwave generated by bursting the condensed mana gathered at one point in the center of her palm spread all over the War Wolf’s torso and bounced back.
“Tsu…”
But that’s all there is to it.
Although it gave a huge blow, it was a small tongue in this situation that could not end with decisive attack power.
This is only a non-lethal technique that inflicts internal blows on the premise of a person-to-person battle, and although it can inflict near-death damage to the opponent, it cannot cause death.
“Thank you. Erin!”
Ayra thanked Erin for backing her up at just the right time, clutching her dagger in her reverse.
The two men, who continued to cope with the attacks of the werewolves, did not have the extreme defense like Agnes, so they carefully avoided the attacks of the beasts and cut a gap in the counterattack.
“Good. I’ll treat you if you get hurt, so don’t die?”
At some point, Agnes, who had dealt with all the demons on her side and joined her two, stood in front of her and repelled all the attacks of her Warwolves.
The damage received from Anies, who is protected by divine power, is close to zero, and even the pure white priestly clothes, let alone flesh, cannot be damaged.
Rather, even the blood of the monsters that splattered on her clothes was purified and kept clean, her appearance made her look like a non-standard existence different from ordinary people.
[Hujok magic (狐族姚術)]
[Fox fire]
The blue flame created with pure magical power on Erin’s palm is even smaller than the fox fire she normally uses.
Erin, who adjusted her size to burn only herself and the werewolves in close proximity to Ayra, frowned.
-Do you not know how to do the easy thing of freely adjusting the size of the fox? This immature guy.
‘What the hell is that easy? Miho you idiot.’
It’s much easier to use as much magic as you want to create a giant fox fire.
The amount of mana consumed is even less, but the level of fatigue that accumulates along with the consumption of a lot of mental power by concentrating on control is unavoidable.
Erin tossed a fox-fire that was as small as a bead on her index finger at the group of werewolves who were confronting Eira.
As soon as the glowing orb bursts due to the condensation of divine magic power, the blue flames that have formed in the air attach to the werewolves and begin to burn them all.
“Two minutes! I’m leaving now!”
Leaving behind the crowd of howling werewolves who had been burned by the unquenchable blue flame in the clearing, the three, including Erin, immediately moved.
Only after moving to a safe place without neglecting the vigilance of the surroundings through the senses and detection of the divine beast, Erin let her guard down and let her sigh of relief.
“Whoa…”
Erin and Ayra, who seemed to be completely relaxed, sat down on the floor and leaned their backs against the tree.
Erin, who caught her breath over her loose body, looked at Ira within a minute and checked her condition.
Perhaps it was because of her accumulated damage from Anies’ prayer and recovering from her exhaustion, she seemed to be okay, and she let out a sigh of relief.
“Ayra sister. This really…”
“Huh. I guess… I think this guess is correct.”
Compared to subjugating the monsters with a platoon, the frequency and grade of the monsters encountered are significantly higher.
The hypothesis that the demonic beasts of the higher order living deep in the depths were gradually approaching the border was gaining more and more credibility.
If the culprit is that the undead, which were created in the kingdom of Rendir, have flowed into the forest and are gradually expanding their territory, and the monsters are coming here as if they were running away.
“I really hate to imagine…”
Eira frowned and let out a small sigh.
“Is Anies-sama okay?”
“What am I?”
Anyes shrugged his shoulders and showed off his upbeat state.
Erin felt relieved in her heart at how reassuring she was now to be with her hero and her greatest priest.
“Yes. Then we move again.”
◆ ◆ ◆
The corpses of ogres, completely cooked by the blue salt, are scattered on the floor.
Unlike the corpses of other ogres whose heads were completely crushed and whose entire bodies were burned and turned black, there was only one ogre body with its limbs and head intact.
Something dark crawling on the floor approached and wrapped around the beast’s corpse.
It looks like smoke or liquid, but it has no mass and is an intangible aura itself that only expresses ‘feeling bad’.
It is a ‘deception’ that seems to have taken the word ‘death’ as it is and embodied it.
The energy of death flowing from the undead contaminates the ground and the air itself, and absorbs the vitality of all living things, including plants, to gradually expand its territory.
The morale that seeped into the corpse of an ogre lying on the floor in a gruesome form made the already dead corpse move again.
Thud!
One ogre, wriggling little by little, stepped on his feet and raised himself up to check his body condition.
Nice… Le.
It is natural for them to be perplexed by the reaction of ‘why?’.
Apparently, he was overwhelmed by a human girl who was much smaller than himself, and he died from a one-sided beating without succeeding in one attack.
The traces of the human girl’s terrifying blow that led to her death are still intact in her body.
A deformed arm and distorted flesh.
But strangely, there is no pain felt.
Not only the pain, but the overall sensation itself is non-existent.
The only things that controlled the already dead ogre’s body were the intense hunger to devour the living flesh and the desire to take revenge on the human girl who brought him to death.
Thud!
The ogre slowly moved her own massive gigantic body, looking in the direction of its prey and vengeful being, as instinct led it.
