Carb Sears (R) 440

Chapter 440 – The End of Suffering.

“Oooooh!”

Seol-shien suppressed the pottery that kept pouring out with his stomach rumbling.

“Hey, what is all this?”

A few days in a wagon. They soon reached the entrance of Ragado. But what she saw there was a terrible sight that she could not have imagined at all. They stood in the center of the sheer gray cliffs on both sides.

The problem was the ground on which they stood. Originally, it was made of ice to prove that it was water, but it was different from the ice they had stepped on so far.

Traces of passage accumulated over and over again, the snow melted and hardened, becoming one with the ice on the floor, making the ice sheet bumpy and blurry, but that alone could not hide what was beneath it.

From countless human bones and flesh that have not rotted away, from the remains of human beings to the darkly rotting flesh that cannot even be imagined what kind of body it is. Beneath the ice sheet on which they stood, such a hell was frozen.

“It’s a trace of hunting by the tribes of Ragado.”

Sulshien covered her mouth at the sight and made her tremble. She had heard of Ragado’s notoriety, but she never imagined she would see such a terrible sight.

“How can this be?”

Even if you look at the number of corpses here, it is easily over hundreds. It was hard to imagine how many corpses were piled up under the dark ice where no light could reach.

“What does that mean?”
“It may not be for you, but it means something to them.”

When Sulsien glanced at Usher’s indifferent answer, he only checked his surroundings and was wary, but showed no signs of paying attention to the bottom of the ice. It’s almost as if you’re moving on an ice sheet that’s no different than before.

“They originally hunted human livers as a panacea.”

From the beginning, the tribes of Ragado have been hunting humans, so it’s no surprise.

“So… Why did you ask me to come out?”

As he watched the scene, Xue Xian had doubts. Yes, because Usher had called her outside before seeing this scene. I asked with a little dissatisfaction at the situation where the salty fishy smell and the rotten smell came out even though it was frozen.

“Because right now it’s safer to be by my side than the carriage.”

She found it odd. Although she was not as good as the carriage she originally rode from Pasifania, the current carriage led by Hill Disbiny was a good enough carriage to be called a chariot.

“Still riding…”

Wouldn’t it be nice? It was the moment I was about to talk. Usher clicked his tongue and slammed the reins.

-Kurreuk!

Accepting the signal, Hildisbini stops walking slowly and kicks the ground.

“Kyaaaaagh! Suddenly what!?”

She tried to protest, hugging the blanket even more as the headwind rushed over in an instant, but she couldn’t.

– Shuuk! Pak!

An icicle as tall as a man fell from above and pierced the place where they stood. If I had been walking, I would have been stuck right over my head. But that was just the beginning.

– Awesome! Jjarang jjarang

When he raised his head at the clear sound that came from above, like glass colliding, Sulshien finally found what was above their heads.

“Icicle…?”

Icicles lined up like a line between the cliffs were pointing their sharp ends downward in the air. It wasn’t even one or two, but it continued all the way forward as if covering the top of the cliff. It was the sound of the icicles shaking.

-Jjakang!
“Hold tight!”

Before long, icicles start to fall. As soon as Usher confirmed it, he tightened her reins and warned her.

– Shupak!
-Pabababababak!
– Crackle!

Shien closed her eyes in fear and buried her face in his arms. All she could feel now was the presence of Usher as he moved her arms and gripped the reins, the coldness of his iron armor, and the bloody noise of icicles chasing them through the icy ground.

For a while I hoped that Usher was adjusting the speed of the Hildis beanie with the changing coldness of the wind blowing in faintly.

“It has passed.”

Hearing his words, he opened his eyes and was shocked by the sight he saw. Sure enough, numerous icicles were stuck in the ice and turned into sharp traps. Realizing that I was about to be skewered at that bloody scene, I shuddered.

“Ugh, it was better to be in the carriage after all.”
“If you think about the future, that thought will disappear.”

As Usher said that, he looked at the uphill road ahead of him. When I turn my head to follow his gaze, it seems that I can move in a straight line at first glance, but if I look closely, I can see traces of overlapping steps like stairs.

It must have been unavoidable since the uphill road was as if it were made of snow and ice. They were also going uphill one by one along the way.

-Seueueu
“Mr. Usher! I-over there!”

Sulsien raised her head at the sound coming from uphill, calling for Usher and tapping his armor hastily. A large block of ice was slowly revealing its round shape from the top of the uphill.

“Tsk, as expected.”

Usher clicked his tongue when he saw it and hurriedly moved Hildisbini, but the block of ice had already reached the slope of the uphill and started rolling down.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu!

Fortunately, I was able to dodge the ice block without difficulty.

“Kyaaak! Again! It’s rolling again!”
“I know!”

There was no single block of ice. Several times after that, while Sulsien trembled at the sight of them rolling downward, Usher grabbed the reins of Hildisbini and moved to avoid the ice blocks. The sight was astounding, but there was no time to admire the large blocks of ice passing by.

– Kwaaang!

Even though he had moved the reins to control Hill Disbiny’s movements delicately, one of his blocks of ice sent the carriage rolling downhill. As Usher had predicted, if he hadn’t severed the link to the Hill Dis beanie, they would have rolled off together.

‘I almost got in trouble.’

Was it because it was a sturdy wagon? It looked fine after being hit by a large block of ice and fell down, but it was knocked down several times, so if you were riding in there, you would have been badly injured.

“Did you expect this too?”

Sulciene swallowed her saliva and asked, and Usher continued to lead Hill This Beanie uphill, talking quietly.

“In the middle of the uphill road, there were traces of heavy objects rolling over and collapsing.”

I admired his story that he was able to find out because there were several traces of it being remade, and realizing that the only people who could sell a trap like this were the tribesmen of Ragado, so he lowered his voice a little more.

“Could it be that they did it before?”
“It won’t be.”

Nearby, it is said that this is the only way, and that the rest of the way is a long way around, so if you met them, you would have met them a long time ago.

“There are many tribes living in Lagado, and the way they live is also different.”

Usher still lowered his voice and silently drew the rapier from his waistband.

“””Omg?!”””

Soon, as soon as they climbed the uphill, what they encountered were people who approached defenselessly, as if they were trying to check this place. The figure dressed in fur clothes that seemed to belong to Gigantopithecus looked ordinary, but from the moment they climbed the cliff, only their appearance was visible on the plain.

“Heheh?!”

Usher swung his rapier and slashed the head of the man in front of him. A black blood fountain soaring with hot steam, and the bloody smell that spreads out, even when Seol-shien covered his mouth, he could see people running around him.

They, too, were obviously taken aback, but when they saw that the person in front of them was being killed, they each drew their weapons and began to charge.

“Porridge… That’s it!!”

But what followed was Usher’s one-sided slaughter. They didn’t even ride the Svadil Ferry, let alone Hildisbini, so they collapsed even from Hildisbini’s careless kick, and when they pushed the huge body, they were crushed and died.

-Changgang!
“Snizzok!”

Even the weapons they were using were made of bones, so when Usher swung a rapier, instead of holding it, they were cut off or hit by flying fragments, and fell while groaning.

“As expected, it’s a different tribe than last time.”

Usher identified a leather mark found on the body of one of them. Sulsien was afraid to stand on the field of corpses again, but the appearance of the sign made her curious.

“It’s the first leather I’ve ever seen. What animal is it made of?”

I looked at the bright yellow mark on his hand, thinking that maybe I could take that as evidence for the investigation, but that was only for a moment.

“It’s human skin.”
“Hee! Why are you holding something like that!”

Shien was frightened and withdrew.

“Don’t you need it for your investigation?”
“I don’t need that!”

In the end, I left the mark alone and checked to see if there were any more traps set up, and I could see how the icicles were created in the air.

“I think I created icicles by spraying water on these ropes.”

Only after Usher had cut all the ropes did they manage to pull the wagon back up.
