Chapter 161 – Demon King (3)
After crossing the mountain, I saw a vast plain.
It was a very barren land.
A barren land where not even a handful of moisture can be found, like a desert.
Cracked soil like a spider’s web.
I think it might be a plain that is infinitely close to the barren land.
It never occurred to me that something would grow on this land.
Even if it grows, it doesn’t seem like a normal plant.
A land that refuses to conceive of life.
The demon king’s territory had such a meaning.
“I’ll spread the spell.”
Ain shook his head.
“Yes, if you’re tired, you can solve the sex law anytime.”
The sex method that blocks demonic energy is not very tiring physically or mentally.
Also, her name is a saint.
How can you be tired with just this amount of sex?
“Ain, I’m not so corrupt anymore, am I? It has become quite strong.”
“No matter how strong you are, I will always protect you from me.”
Speaks very nicely.
Not sarcastic, I really felt that way.
Mmm.
… Could it be a foul?
Saying something kindly with a handsome face.
My reaction was pre-determined.
“… Thanks.”
He chuckled.
“What, how do you say thank you for something like this?”
Anyway, I used the sex method to rule out the invasion of demonic energy.
It was a necessary prescription because it contained more or less demonic energy after entering the demon king’s territory.
Yes.
We are crossing the demon king’s territory.
The Demon King’s territory is not an unexplored area.
It was a place where countless warriors and saints had arrived over the course of time.
However, this does not mean that there is no accumulated information.
Because not all of them returned safely.
In terms of information, it is no different from an unexplored area.
In short, the territory of the demon king could be regarded as the tomb of the hero and the saint.
Will it be different this time?
It is unavoidable to have such suspicion and distrust.
Still, I didn’t care.
There is Ain, there is Azazel, and there is also Leon and Edelis.
Didn’t she inherit her powers from the real Arya?
In many ways, it is a condition in which self-confidence is bound to rise.
Didn’t you swear again?
I’m going to throw a punch at those proud gods.
Can it be done just by being sluggish to the devil?
Three horses move.
Its movements were swift, nimble, and stealthy.
All the horses that Nargier had handed over were those that could rise to the ranks of great horses.
Are the expectations high?
Or do they want us to come back safely?
In any case, it was a pleasure.
As we traveled across the plains on fine horses, no horses came and went between us.
It was a proof that he was concentrating on moving.
… Or that you were just that nervous.
“I identified three monsters ahead. They look like spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, respectively.”
Ain, standing in the vanguard, found the monster and delivered it to the rear.
Azazel, who had been waiting behind Edelis, answered with her temple pressed.
“These are poisonous people. What should I do, warrior? Shall we intercept here?”
“Is it possible?”
“Who do you think I am? Of course it’s out of range.”
“Please be quiet and clear.”
“Because the demands are demanding.”
Azazel sighed and recited an incantation.
Three ice spears that condensed in the air quickly rushed towards each monster.
Puck, poop, puck!
Kieeck!
Key profit!
Kick!
It was an amazing hit rate.
Looking at the ice spear that pierced everyone’s head, everyone exclaimed in admiration.
Needless to say, that is a no-brainer.
His skill at throwing projectiles is excellent.
In the meantime, the cold air contained in the ice spear exploded, causing secondary damage.
The monster’s head was made of porridge.
It’s ridiculous to show mercy to a cruel hand or an enemy.
Azazel lightly snorted, “Huh.”
Could it be Azazel?
Her brother stared at her like that.
“Azazel.”
“Why did you do so well that you wanted to give me a compliment?”
“No. That judgment is a mistake.”
Azazel’s brow furrowed at Ain’s remark, which seemed to blow her candle.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I didn’t think below.”
“… Under?”
“I should have frozen everything.”
The suspicion in Azazel’s eyes soon turned to astonishment.
The three monsters, who had lost control of their bodies after being hit in the head by her, fell to the ground and made a big vibration.
Whoop, whoop, whoop!
There was a being that responded to that vibration.
Its body, which emerges by digging through the sand-like barren soil, is quite massive.
It is also huge at the same time.
When I experienced the memories of the first hero and the first saint the other day, I had an experience of seeing something similar to that.
Its official name was Mongolian Death Worm, maybe.
“You should have told me if you knew, Einstein.”
Azazel couldn’t hide her frustration and she grunted.
Ain just shrugged her shoulders.
“I only noticed now. After all, it’s hiding under the ground. I was slow to understand.”
In my opinion, I think it’s strange to notice something like that.
Meanwhile, Leon quietly exclaimed.
“Huh, that looks pretty big. Is it some kind of sub-dragon?”
Edelis continued Leon’s words.
“Isn’t it more like an earthworm than a sub-dragon?”
Ain agreed with Edelis.
“Edelis is right. That’s not a sub-dragon, it’s an earthworm.”
Look how carefree these people are.
Is there a lack of sense of crisis?
I didn’t feel like a big threat either.
Didn’t he catch a similar guy when he had less power than now?
Is that why?
I inadvertently risked Ain’s death.
“… Isn’t that too big for an earthworm?”
Just by looking at the pointed and sharp teeth like a lamprey and the thick chin like a hippopotamus, you can feel its terrifying jaw power.
It’s just my personal opinion, but wouldn’t it be possible to break a rock with ease?
Ain responded calmly and weakly.
“So why don’t you call me a monster?”
It was an answer that left me speechless.
Well, since it’s such a ridiculous creature, it must be a monster.
That’s why it’s really convenient.
-Keeeee
The guy opens his mouth.
The jagged teeth rotate fiercely.
Like a chainsaw.
What he’s aiming for are three dead monsters.
It was an earthworm that swallowed the three of them in one go.
Kwadeuk.
Kwajik.
Quadduk.
The sound of pieces of meat being ground came in real time.
It sounded like something you’d hear in a cheap snuff video.
The giant earthworm must have been very hungry.
Seeing you binge eat like that.
We froze for a while and looked at the worms.
Is it because of my mood?
I can feel his head pointing towards us.
Originally, I was told that soil creatures do not have eyes or are degenerate.
Eyes are useless in the dark ground where not a single light enters.
As a rule, even that giant earthworm could not find an eye organ.
… In other words.
That earthworm’s other senses are abnormally developed.
For example, a body that feels vibrations.
Like the sense of capturing magical powers and holy laws.
To say that it is incredibly good.
It was definitely not an illusion that the part that looked like the guy’s head was turned towards us.
Azazel said with a look of utter disgust.
“… You think you’ve figured us out?”
I vehemently think so too.
He twisted his huge body and hit his head on the ground.
Quqaguaguagagagang!
The ground was dug up and disappeared.
That doesn’t mean that the vibration he spreads has disappeared.
It’s coming.
Towards us
The feeling of fear was aggravated by the lack of sight.
Could this be a land shark?
I looked at Ain thinking it was an appropriate analogy.
In case of emergency, it was decided that it was up to Ain to decide the situation as much as possible.
“Everyone back off.”
“Ain.”
As I was about to bite down, Ain said firmly.
“There is no time.”
He gets off his horse
And draw the sword
Although it is said to be a great sword, its performance is not superior to that of the holy sword.
Ain also wondered how long this sword would last.
“There is no way to deal with them crawling from the floor.”
Doo doo doo doo.
The ground bulges and comes toward us.
Ain grabbed the sword with both hands and let his magic flow.
Then, the black aura subtly bloomed.
It was deeper and darker than before.
A torrent of refined power.
It poured the dense substance onto the ground.
Aaaaa!
An earthquake so great that even the riding horses were startled and fell.
Even us on the ground felt that way, but the worms below would approach even louder.
-Kueeeee
As expected, it is an earthworm that emits light and protrudes from the ground.
Ain pulled out the sword stuck in the ground.
It was already a sword with incontinence here and there on the surface.
“There is nothing scary when you can see it.”
Ain’s sword draws from top to bottom.
A sword attack that is neither fast nor slow.
Its rock-hard carapace shatters like soft pudding.
Bodily fluids splattered over the body of the giant earthworm that had been cut in two.
Chi profit.
His bodily fluids melted the soil of the plains.
It looks like it has acidity.
With these guys living there, it is inevitable that the soil will be ruined.
It was a natural and understandable environment.
Ain sighed as he looked at the sword with cracks on its surface.
“Shall we go?”
We nodded.
It will not be an easy journey as you think.
