Chapter 369 – Legacy of Order.
“Ouch, moan”
Usher was awakened by the constant sound of a beast in pain. When I raised my head to shake off the energy of sleep, the dim space, the light of the flame shining from the common side would be too faint to see ahead, but was it because it had been there for a long time? The pattern on the wall, which was not clearly visible, was vaguely visible. Then what came to my eyes was the source of the sound I heard earlier.
“Kaeung, kheung!”
It was a combination of a woman who could only be described as a monster and her man. I don’t know how much time has passed in a space where I don’t know if it’s day or night, but I seem to have fallen asleep without realizing it.
-Bak-Bak-Bak-Bak!
“Kwung!”
Still, the male shook his waist behind the prostrate female, and the female gasped for breath and accepted it.
“Keew!”
I forgot to look away from sleep and stared blankly at the scene, so I let out a short scream as if the relationship was over, and the female lay down on the floor in exhaustion. Then, watching the male, who had been sitting on top of it for a while, go out into the cavity where the soft light shone as if his business was over, Usher looked at the female again.
“Keruk, sniff.”
She pants, panting and drooling, then pushes her against the floor to straighten her body.
“…”
Then what comes into his eyes are two pale breasts that sway and sway. Usher couldn’t stop glancing at the woman’s body, disgusted at himself for reacting involuntarily. Even though it was more than pale, tangled lumps of bizarrely swollen and tangled flesh caught my eyes, but without knowing it, I felt my gaze directed down at her and frowned at her.
‘I’ve been doing it and now I’m looking at something like that…’
I wouldn’t have bothered if it had a completely different appearance than a human, but it was a problem because it had a vaguely human shape. Even though I was still not sure if they were monsters that resembled humans or if the Cat Siths had changed for some reason.
Usher, disgusted with himself, shook off his sleep, rose from his seat, and approached the cavity where the light of the flames was seeping in. Since I don’t know how long it’s been asleep, I’m not sure if that light is really Kane’s flame or if it’s a flame created by people called Kamenshik.
I thought it didn’t matter too much either way. Even he, the owner of the thought, couldn’t understand it, so even though he was worried, he stuck his head out under the joint and confirmed the owner of the flame.
“Mister?”
The figure of the knight standing with his arms folded next to the huge green door that was still firmly closed caught his eye.
“What’s going on?”
I just felt relieved when I checked Kane, knowing that I still had a desire to get out of here, and I just thought it was fortunate. However, because they talked without thinking, he wanted to say something, so he looked around and suddenly found the guy he had a relationship with just before and the other guys kneeling there in front of him under the common room, waiting for something.
“Why are those guys there?”
“From a certain moment, they gathered one by one, and this is what it looks like.”
“Is it because of the fire?”
What he actually lights up the cavity is the fire he summoned with magic, but for those who can’t see it, it’s there. This time, I wondered if he had mistaken Kane for the Kamenshiks.
“If so, it would have been in front of me for a long time. This is probably…”
It was that moment in the rain.
– Intercepting
The sound came from beyond the huge door, like a giant insect gnawing at iron. Kane and Usher could tell what it meant, even if they didn’t talk to each other. That’s because he picked up the flame Kane had lit with magic.
“Grrreuk?”
“Kiak?”
Because of this, as the cavity became dark in an instant, it was only for a while that the people gathered together made a puzzled sound. The circular door that opened slowly began to seep in little by little, as if the hidden sun was revealing itself. Before long, a shadow falls between the circular lights that are fully revealed.
-Well, well, well
Then, as the shadows stretched further and the sound of several hard and light objects colliding, Usher involuntarily became nervous. Yes, that shadow was foreign to a mere human being. A spiky head as if it had numerous horns, a body with arms and legs invisible, and a staff with strange horns protruding from the side.
– Right! Right!
Seeing the cane touching the ground, Usher unknowingly knelt down and hid, so I heard a voice.
“Hmm, new outcast. Aren’t you hungry? The livestock we distributed to them won’t be to your liking now.”
I wasn’t particularly hungry. I don’t know where it came from, but Kane had a dry weight and at least filled his stomach with it. When Usher said nothing, he clicked his tongue in concern.
“Now, bring it.”
“Yes.”
That was the moment. Hearing his words, someone walked to and from the door, and the scent approached. It smelled sweet and light, like boiling water with various unknown vegetables, and was too appetizing for Usher, who hadn’t eaten proper food before, so I swallowed without realizing it. Come.
“Come down here. If you show up in front of me, I’ll give you this right away.”
Usher hesitated whether he could really go down, but he realized that he had no choice but to show up and got up from his prone body. Soon after, Usher could clearly see the figure of the person looking up at this place.
‘Uncle Jeremiah?’
It was Jeremiah that came to mind then. That’s right, he looked similar to him with his back to the light shining through the open door without lighting a torch under that cavity, revealing his bone armor. However, unlike Jeremiah’s bone armor, which had a rougher side, his bone armor was refined by polishing and weaving the surface to be more smooth. Even the wide cloak that stretches from his shoulders down to the floor explains why his shadow hides his arms and legs.
– Trudge
As I was going down the stairs, I noticed that he was smiling under the mask that was not covering his mouth. The common floor that I finally came down to while receiving a somewhat uncomfortable feeling. On the blood-stained floor, all the mutated guys are kneeling and praying with their hands together in the same look. The place the prayer is heading is, of course, on top of the podium.
“It’s here.”
Standing with his back to the door through which light leaks in as if he had his back to the white sun, his figure with his arms open before he knew it was more bizarre than anything I’ve ever seen, but it even looked divine at first glance. Even though I felt an indescribable reluctance and reluctance, I had no choice but to approach him, so I crossed over to him while he was praying.
“Hmm? It’s not Catsy?”
He stopped, startled at the words he muttered as he looked at Usher curiously. At least he was hiding in the dark, but when he was seen in the light, he seemed to have been caught. As Usher freezes, not knowing what to do, he gestures.
“Ahaha. Come here.”
As the old man called to him in a much more relaxed voice, as if calling a child, he had no choice but to approach, and his details caught my eye. The mask he wore was elaborately adhered to as if he had carefully ground various bones and put them together one by one, but the blunt bone decorations rising up were impressive.
“Oh, it’s strange. A girl who isn’t Catsy landed in a place like this.”
Usher was obviously annoyed at seeing him as a woman, but he couldn’t show it. He tapped the cane he was holding on the floor and started to say something.
– Tick tock tock
“This is really strange. Nothing like this has ever happened before.”
The staff looked like a white skull of an animal inserted into it, and a wooden ornament was added to its head, hanging like a deer’s antlers. Even the various sharp fang decorations dangling over it were woven into a thread like a spider’s web, nervously holding the sword secretly.
“But if you weren’t attacked by them, that means you also got the disease, right?”
“Ill… Is it?”
“You know better than anyone else. The black shadow slowly encroaching on your body.”
What Usher remembered for a moment was the reason he had to leave Lantua and cross the Gur to come to Parz. He doesn’t know himself, but he’s heard the story directly from Belka.
‘Belka, I…’
When he faced what he had been ignoring, he bit his lips as if someone had grabbed his heart directly.
‘What on earth am I supposed to do?’
Now the vacancy of the girl who is not by his side is too big. More than anything, it was even more painful to remember the words of the women who said they were one. If so, does Erica’s sadistic smile as she sways on top of Jude, stepping on his things without hesitation, is also Belka’s?
“Looking at it, you still look uneasy. But don’t worry. There is no royal family here who cursed you.”
He pats him lightly on the shoulder, pretending to be kind, as if reassuring him. However, his wrinkles were wrinkled and the rough touch could not calm his mind in the slightest. On the contrary, the emotions he had been ignoring increasingly suffocated him, making it difficult to even breathe properly. Usher clicked his tongue as he lowered his back as if he were about to collapse at the feeling of his heart tightening more and more.
“Tsk, has your condition worsened already? You guys, bring the cure quickly.”
Although his illness had been cured for a long time, he misunderstood something and ordered someone to click his tongue.
“I can’t lose the sacrifice that rolled in like this.”
It was at that moment when he mumbled like that.
“Is that also the purpose?”
“What…!”
Kane, who had been hiding under the shadow created by the high platform until now, aimed his sword at his neck. Was it because of the instinctive struggle not to miss this opportunity now? Usher could barely catch his breath at the sight of it.
“You will come with us.”
“Keugh, how did you survive among the gargoyles!?”
He shouted as if he was taken aback by the unexpected event, but Kane forced the blade into his throat and silenced him.
“It’s something I don’t know.”
“Apostle! It’s an intruder! Apostle is in danger!!!”
“Tsk, let’s go quickly.”
“Heo-eok, ugh. Yes.”
Usher follows him as he runs to the entrance, barely breathing.
“Kuh, do you think you’re going to get hit like this!”
However, the apostle who was being held by Kane struggled and took out something and slammed it on Usher’s head, who was nearby.
– Clink!
“It’s big?!”
It was a glass bottle. If it was normal, I would have lightly blocked it, but the reaction was slow, and something burst out of the broken glass bottle and covered myself with it. A fishy smell immediately rises with the sound of glass breaking. At least the glass wasn’t that hard, so her head wasn’t hurt.
“Kurrrr!!”
“Kyaaaaak!”
“Kueek!!!”
The guys in the back raise their heads all at once and howl at him.
“Ttsk! It can’t be helped!!”
Kane immediately pushed the apostle away and grabbed Usher, who was barely running.
“Ugh, wait. Even by myself.”
“Be patient! I don’t know what he used, but they’re targeting you right now!”
It was as he said. Clearly, Kane kicked the apostle and threw it between them, but the guys went mad and ran towards them, ignoring him as if he couldn’t be seen.
Haha! That’s right! It’s the smell of those who made them like that! How can they not run at it?!”
So they ran away from them, but they kept chasing them. It crawls on the walls and ceilings on all fours and runs from all directions, but no human can be seen. It was hard to believe that they were really Cattsy. Although Kane continued to run on a continuous road.
“This way! These are the intruders who threatened the apostle!”
“Tsk!”
The voices of those he heard elsewhere, already heard by him, Usher could already tell that his breathing had become rough.
‘Again. Also I…’
He’s a load again. A pile of useless baggage that only hinders rather than helps. Usher glanced around, but this seemed to be another cavity. It was much larger and wider than the cavity they were confined in. Looking at the space where he didn’t know how far it continued, Usher wanted to tell him to abandon himself.
“Paladin! This way!!”
Usher turned his head quickly at the momentary voice that he seemed to have heard somewhere.
“Apart from knowing that I am a paladin. Why should I trust a cult like them?”
Kane glared at him and raised his sword, but Usher spoke hastily.
“Uncle Jeremiah!”
“Do you know each other…?”
He immediately nodded at Kane’s question.
“He’s the one who healed me. I’ve seen Rachel once.”
He hesitated for a moment when we pointed out that because he was the one who was left alone by the same paladin. He clicked his tongue at the sound of footsteps approaching from everywhere.
“I can’t help it. Trust me now.”
So they followed Jeremiah, who was ahead. I turned away from the sad voice that seemed to have come from somewhere.
