Chapter 267 – Reunion
There is nothing in the meadow that Roin looked at.
A field full of white flowers, where there is a chilling wind and ceaseless rain.
Coming, what?
I shook my head and shook my head off such a lame question.
Roin’s senses are never wrong.
When sleeping outside, it was always Roin who first noticed the approaching enemy.
Even at the time of Hergel’s case, the first to notice that Johannes was suspicious was an old man with a good sense.
I don’t know if it’s simply because of her excellent sixth sense, or because of her unique lineage of mixed blood with monsters.
However, when she says Roin is coming, she must always prepare and prepare.
Without their help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
“Hey Natalie! Summon all the skeletons!”
“Ah yes!”
Because of the guards, Natalia was not in a state of summoning the skeletons.
At my command, Natalya threw white and silver spheres straight from her bosom, moving her mana. Small orbs formed the shape of a steel skeleton.
But that alone isn’t enough.
That alone does not move these ruthless executioners of death.
Thousands of mana shoot out from Natalya’s body, raising five steel skeletons and seven skeletons. It was like a marionette doll.
The steel skeletons, moving according to Natalia’s will, raised their shields while looking in the direction I was looking.
And behind that steel wall, a troll skeleton knelt down on one knee and lowered the giant Zweihender and tower shield to the floor with a ‘thud.’
“Mister Trisian! Get ready!”
“To prepare, even though there is nothing, they suddenly told me to prepare…”
-Shaaaaagh.
Trissian’s panicked voice came from inside the helm, but those words were not followed by the ominous sound of bells.
A ‘guy’ with a huge body appeared from beyond the white field.
Its black scales, which do not match the white field at all, reflect light as it moves and boasts a luster.
While wearing such hard-looking scales all over its body, it walks on four legs with its long, elongated legs and looks like a wolf.
Its body looked so nimble for a subject with a size slightly larger than that of an elephant.
No, he’s actually nimble.
In fact, he had run into him before.
“Drake… !”
It is the monster that was the main culprit of the incident where people went missing at a logging camp in southern Arpagon.
“All in all, Drake… ! You’re bigger than you think! Crews! Ready for battle! Aide! Get that out!”
“Yes!”
Trisian skillfully commanded the guards while showing embarrassment at Drake’s appearance.
The guards followed her orders, looking somewhat frightened, and began to form formations with their spears pointed at Drake.
I stood next to Natalya who controlled the skeletons and glared at him.
The red flesh is visible between the black scales. Evidence that the scales have fallen off, what that means…
“Is that the guy you met at the southern logging camp?”
“There’s no way a special monster like Drake roams around that often, and looking at the marks where the scales fell off, it seems like the guy who ran away after being hit by Natalya’s corpse explosion, right?”
“It’s almost like a prey…”
She nodded her head at Roin’s answer.
This forest, southwest of the Westway, connects with the unexplored forests of southern Arpagon.
In fact, there is no need to look at the map and do anything.
In fact, as we rode the wagon from Arpagon to the Westway, we continued south through the woods.
Come to think of it, the sharp cut marks on the road where he broke and ate the wagon wheel on the way back were undoubtedly the work of Drake. If it’s a fast, sharp tail like a whip, it’s enough to leave such a mark.
That’s all, people disappearing without leaving a trace happened even in logging camps.
“A touching reunion with an unpleasant monster, although a reunion with a beautiful woman would be nice…”
“Because this is a field covered with medicinal herbs that help heal wounds. Maybe that guy knew that too. While treating wounds here, the pharmacists who came to collect them were also eaten… !”
Roin answers my pain.
Anything like that truth is fine now.
The important thing is that a walking disaster called a super monster appeared in front of them. But I didn’t feel the same sense of danger as last time.
Last time, it was a tough opponent because it consisted of Natalia, Roin, and other fades and keuts, but this time it was different.
There are close to 30 guards, and there is also a second-class mercenary, Gemanic, who handles flame swords.
It’s a powerful enough threat.
Even Drake would know that. I met his bright yellow, cold, reptilian eyes.
The cheeky beast straightened up, looked at Natalya, and approached slowly, displaying obvious hostility in the name of Jagged Fang.
“… Is that guy getting closer?”
Realize the wonder
If you add up the number of skeletons, that’s a force close to 50.
Against such a number, he does not even think of running away with his unique quick mobility, and approaches with hatred.
What does it mean?
Yeah, remember it’s not just us.
That monster also remembers us. Can’t forget The traces of missing scales that have not grown even now are proof of that.
He feels humiliated that he escaped with Natalya’s corpse exploding, and wants to get revenge on us! I’m burning with vengeance!
“Coming up against numbers like this means you think you’ll win…” !”
Roin frowned and said that.
How full of arrogance and insolence when it comes to mere monsters.
The last time, I was struck by his nimbleness, so I put up a wall one-sidedly and got beaten up.
But this time it’s different.
A troll skeleton stood in front of Drake, who was approaching step by step.
Even if you are a troll skeleton, you can’t last long against that monster.
That’s why, on the left and right of the troll skeleton, twelve skeletons stood wide apart, as if spreading a crane formation.
As it is, the troll skeleton catches the guy’s movements and surrounds him with the skeletons.
Then you can tie up the guy’s strong point, fast mobility.
“Comrades, stand behind the skeleton! Prepare the javelin!”
At Trisian’s instruction, the guards scatter in an orderly fashion. A rope was attached to the end of their spear, as if it had been attached before they knew it.
“Drake… ! Drake… ! It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. Chet.”
My mother-in-law screamed nervously and drew her sword. A fire broke out from the blade of the crude and thick bastard sword. However, the firepower was quite weak compared to what I had seen during the previous anthill exploration.
He noticed my gaze and smiled shyly.
“I haven’t mastered that much yet, so I get a little weak on rainy days!”
“Mercenaries, scatter and wait! When Natalia-san’s skeletons draw attention, the crew throws a javelin! Use a rope to restrain its movements!”
While Natalya’s skeletons were beaten and wasting time, Drake threw a spear into Drake’s body and pulled the rope connected to it to restrain his movement.
There is no proper ranged attack, and the mercenaries with different armaments should prepare for unexpected situations behind them and deal with them on their own.
At first glance, her instructions seemed flawless.
No, it’s the best way in this situation. I can’t suggest a better way than this.
If you put the skeleton in front, you can minimize the sacrifice of the guards.
The hunting method of safely catching prey by throwing it at a distance is the least risky hunting method that mankind has always chosen when catching huge prey such as mammoths, and it is the method that made mankind the ruler of the earth.
Drake tried to move to break through the weakest defense, probably instinctively wary of being surrounded by a swarm of skeletons approaching wide open.
It is difficult to break through the siege without even starting. In the last fight, Natalya also felt it painfully that it would be difficult to let him run rampant.
That’s why, the troll skeleton moved one step faster than Drake’s.
The Troll Skeleton pointed the giant Zweihender head-on, covered it with a tower shield, and bang! Bang! Kicking off the floor, I ran towards Drake!
Overwhelmed by its huge size shaking the floor, the skeletons standing on either side came into view a beat later.
Like the troll skeletons, they also ran with swords to block Drake’s movements.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen him run so fast… ?”
“I reinforced it with Hanseong-nim’s semen!! Thanks to that, the skeletons’ athletic abilities have improved dramatically!”
Natalya answered my question with her mind focused on the skeleton.
Every time I was on birth control, I removed the semen and collected it in a glass bottle… You mean you were writing it?
