Chapter 76 – Episode 76 Abyss Worm
The monsters were just reluctant because their appearance was bizarre and repulsive, but they weren’t that strong once they got attached.
At most, it was a bit stronger than an Orc.
“Kwaaaaa…”
“Keruk, Keruk…”
After bizarrely breaking their long, twisted limbs and finishing off the dying guys with the Holy Sword, I hurriedly approached the carriage and saw a young woman grabbing and shaking a bloody middle-aged man.
Is that man Carlson from the quest window?
“Dad! Dad! Wake up! Dad!”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
“Huh!? Who, who…”
Taking out the best potion from the subspace pouch, spraying about half of it, and feeding the remaining half, the wound that was life-threatening and seriously injured heals cleanly.
“Huh…? This, this…”
“Whoa, this won’t harm your life…Is this person’s name Carlson?”
“Yes? Yes…M, that’s right. Do you know your father?”
“No. That’s not it.”
“Yes…?”
She stared at her with a puzzled face, but I stared at her blankly.
[Linked quest occurs!]
[Content: Investigate the disaster in the ‘Giant Rock’ village]
I can roughly guess what happened, but once I follow the chain quest, I can get a reward.
“Let’s see, investigation…What’s your name?”
“Yes? Oh, my name is Lily… I used to work as a pharmacist in town.”
Lily’s eyes were still fixed on me as she explained her unsolicited words, her complexion was red, and her back and thighs were twitching as she couldn’t hide her fret.
“Um… Is that so?”
She has a very high charm score, so bewitching an ordinary village girl is no big deal.
When she glanced at her, she was a very high-class beauty.
A beautiful woman with brown hair and a mild impression like a sheep made a sex appeal that she was not even aware of and expressed her outright goodwill.
Oh, looking closely, not only does her face look pretty, but her breasts are quite voluptuous and her butt is also full. What a good woman.
“Are you and your father the last people in the carriage?”
“Ah! No! There’s one more! My sweetheart, Alan…Ah, there he is.”
Lily’s face hardened in an instant as her eyes met the young man hiding behind the half-wrecked wagon.
“Li, Lily! Are you okay!? I’m sorry! I fainted for a while!”
Her stunned horn, it just jumped out because it was safe to look at.
I felt sick to my stomach seeing a man who looked like a parasitic brother and fluttered his blond hair that he had grown burdensomely, but he looked at Lily because it was annoying to deal with.
“Lily. I have a question for you…”
“Wait! Who are you and why are you sticking with my lover? Get away from me!”
“…Haha. It really bothers me.”
I was emotional for a moment, but in fact, the information was the same no matter who I got it from, so I couldn’t help but look at the man named Alan.
“Then answer me.”
“What, what!? Who are you to speak plain words…”
“Hey, can’t you understand the situation?”
As he waved the holy sword hanging from her waist and chinned the monsters he had just killed, the guy’s face turned white when he finally came to his senses.
“What, what… Are you threatening me!?”
“I ask. Where did those monsters come from? Why were they being chased?”
“What the hell…!”
“Answer.”
When I urged him to die, the guy completely lost his blood and hardened.
“Aren’t you going to answer me?”
“Now, wait! I’ll answer you!”
Lily stood in Alan’s way as her mood turned grim.
Just a pitiful kid.
“Yes, Miss Lily. You just need to answer carefully.”
“Yes? Yes…”
Her expression turned strange when I suddenly became friendly, but I didn’t care and asked the question.
“First, what is that monster?”
“That, that’s… I’m a pharmacist in a huge rock village, but recently a mysterious plague has started to circulate.”
“Plague?”
“Yes. It is a frightening disease in which people with the plague suddenly fall ill, their limbs slowly twist over several days, and eventually become monsters. We were on the run before the lord quarantined the village.”
“Hmm.”
Also, as I expected.
This is undoubtedly an act of the demons using their familiar ‘Abyss Worm’.
In order to explain what an abyss worm is, a background explanation is needed… Simply put, abyss is another name for the demon realm. Currently, the demon world is invaded by another dimension and destroyed, and the surviving demons flee to the middle world and are fighting territorial battles with humans and other races.
The irony is that the demons who received the power of demons stronger in the middle world became stronger than their enemies in the demon world.
They really can’t be anything other than stupid people.
And what the hell is a demon god that can wield more power in the middle world than in the demon realm…
Anyway, abyssal worms are a type of worms that originally live in the Demon Realm, and they are terrible creatures that enter the body of other creatures and suck nutrients to grow, eventually taking over the host’s body and transforming it to their liking.
Oh, and for reference, they reproduce through the reproductive activity of their parasitic host.
In other words, if it is a male host, it attacks a woman, and if it is a female host, it attacks and rapes a man.
It can’t be a game-down setting.
“Okay. Then, Mr. Lily, keep running away like this. I will solve the anomaly in the giant rock village.”
“Yes, yes? Can you solve it?”
“Yes. There is a corner where you can learn.”
I briefly explained the demons and the abyssal worm.
“…Well, in that case! Let me go too!”
“Li, Lily!? What the hell are you talking about!? Crazy!? They say it’s demons! It’s not our business to interfere!”
Alan dissuaded her, but Lily’s determination seemed firm.
“I was worried about abandoning the village where I was born and grew up, but if you can solve the problem, you don’t have to run away! Is Rom-sama able to defeat that demon?”
I never told you, but you know my name…Did you find out that I’m a hero? He has a mild and dull impression like a sheep, but he is surprisingly quick-witted.
“Yes. I can do it. I am a warrior.”
“As expected…! In that case! I believe!”
“What do you believe in what you see? You can fail.”
“If the hero can’t do it, then no one else can. I’ll just accept it humbly at that time.”
“Kukuk. This is a fun woman. Is the village that important?”
“Yes!”
I sighed and laughed and decided to hit John.
After all, I won’t care much unless I know you’re a warrior.
“You could die? Besides, I don’t think you’ll be of much help.”
“No! If you take me with you, I’m sure it will help! I’m a pharmacist, so I know a lot about medicinal herbs, and I’m really good at rescuing the town! You can ask people for help!”
“Hmm…Okay. Then let’s go.”
“Thank you!”
Lily bowed her head to me, and Alan, who had been watching the situation blankly, shook her head in amazement.
“Mi, are you crazy!? Lily! How can you be of any help!? Let’s just run away! The town is almost a mess!”
“…Alan. If you want to run away, run away. I’m not forcing you.”
“You, you…! Damn it! Do what you want! How did you get out of there! I risked my life to escape the monsters and go back to that place!? I can’t do it! My life is more precious than the village! A dangerous place.” I have no intention of going there!”
Just as Alan, indignant, turned around and was about to leave, my girls arrived.
“Rom. What’s the matter?”
“It doesn’t appear to be hurt anywhere.”
“Rom-nim. It’s definitely like a hero to always run alone like that, but please think of us too.”
“That’s right. Rom. We’re your teammates.”
“My lord, are you all right?”
Aurora, Elia. Isabella, Monica, Merina…Even the big karma was walking behind them.
Together, they are beauties whose mouths are wide open.
“Huh, huh…!?”
Seeing their beautiful and voluptuous figure, Alan widened her eyes, gulped his spittle, and shamelessly placed an iron plate on her face before standing next to Lily.
“Lily! I’ll go with you! I can’t just leave the town in danger!”
Wow, there are all these bastards in the world.
“Alan…”
Even Nome’s lover, Lily, looks at her with a disappointed expression on her face.
“Lily. Your lover wants to go to town? What do you want to do?”
“…Ha, there’s no reason to stop me saying I want to go. No, isn’t this something I should rather ask?”
“Ahaha. I’m sorry. I thought it would be quite fun to watch.”
“You have a pretty bad personality…”
“I won’t deny it. Hehe…Ah, before that.”
Teouk.
Shoulder to shoulder with Alan, I looked at him with murderous eyes and whispered in his ear.
“Don’t look at my girls unless you want to die… OK?”
“Hee, hee…!? Yes, yes! I see!”
“Okay. Good job? Oh, just for reference, this is a warning for you.”
“…?”
He didn’t understand, but I think he’ll understand the meaning soon, seeing as he rolls his eyes and looks at my woman with lustful eyes.
“Oh, and you carry Lily’s father on your back. He’s passed out and can’t think of getting up.”
“Yes? Why did I…”
“Then I’m on my back? Crazy bastard. He’s the lover’s father, why do you say that?”
“…Ha, I will.”
As I watched him carry Carlson on his back, I smiled at Lily.
“Well then, shall we go? Lily. Can you guide me?”
“Ah, ROHM~ You should explain the situation!”
Aurora, with arms folded with me, bursts into laughter.
When I briefed him on the current situation, she nodded her head with a serious expression.
“Hmm, that’s right. Demons… I can feel that they are really at war. Rom. Let’s go and deal with it quickly.”
“Okay. Then Lily. Let’s go.”
“Yes! Trust me!”
Immediately after Lily cried out, a very painful-looking plosive sounded from behind her.
“Keah, keuheouk…!”
“You rude bastard! Those filthy eyes and mouth are very irritating!”
Turning her head slightly, she looked up and saw that Alan was lying on the ground with her teeth shattered, as if she had been hit by her bamboo stick.
“Tsk tsk…You should have listened to the warning.”
I murmured softly and motioned to Ellia to retreat.
“Elia. What’s going on?”
“Ah, well…That insignificant man flirted without knowing the subject, so I was just admonishing him.”
“Hmm… Have you ever touched something?”
“I would have already killed him.”
“Hee-ik…!”
At her ugly words, Alan crawled back, turning blue.
“Ha…”
At that moment, Lily hurriedly ran towards Alan.
“What are you doing!?”
“Lee, Lily…!”
Her Alan looked at her with a moved expression on her face, but Lily, who jerked past him, was raising her father, Carlson.
“What if I lose Dad!? I’m still hurt! Are you insane!?”
“Lee, Lily…I’m hurt too…”
“That’s self-inflicted!”
Lily’s gaze at Alan was colder than before.
“Hurry up!”
“Ah, I see…”
Alan, intimidated by her momentum, wrapped Carlson around again, and Lily snorted and came closer to me.
“Lily. Why did you fall in love with a guy like that?”
“…Still, he’s kind. He’s got a good-looking face…Ah, not now.”
With her bitter smile, Lily turned her head away and moved towards our wagon with her shot.
***
After moving for some time in a wagon, they were able to quickly arrive at a giant rock village.
Even at first glance, it is a village that looks bigger than the hillside village that is the hometown of ‘Rom’.
It is properly equipped with a wooden fence made of large logs and a deep moat.
“That’s…”
“It’s those monsters.”
However, dozens of monsters with bizarre appearance surrounded the village.
“…Are you saying you won’t send them out until you make all the villagers into hosts?”
I burst out laughing and pulled out the holy sword, and my women quickly finished preparing for battle.
“Lily. How did you get out when you ran away?
“Uh…Until now, we weren’t surrounded like that. I just ran around the village, so I ran away…”
“Hmm…”
So you’re saying that the siege was built like that only after seeing the villagers run away?
You won’t have to search every nook and cranny of town. It’s comfortable.
“Listen, everyone. There’s no turning back humans who have completely turned into monsters. In effect, they’re already dead and their corpses are being manipulated. So don’t hesitate.”
“Huh.”
“All right.”
“Isabella. Command please.”
“Yes. Leave it to me.”
In fact, it wasn’t a battle that required command, but it could be sorted out faster than fighting recklessly.
“Whoa… Then, let’s go.”
Exuding blood through my body, I jumped off the running carriage and flew out.
***
As we drove into the village, we were greeted by empty streets like ruins.
There was not a single person walking around, and the sound of the carriage rolling cautiously opened the wooden window to peek.
“…Rom-nim. Can you really solve it?”
“Don’t worry. Everyone has an idea.”
“Ahhh…!?”
I smirked and wrapped my arms around Lily’s waist, and she flinched for a while.
“Lily, Lily…?”
Seeing this, Alan called her name with a bewildered face, but Lily ignored him completely.
No matter how high the charm stat is by my side, seeing him do that, it seems that he has completely fallen for Alan.
Oh, by the way, my girls didn’t respond much as if they had already given up.
Aurora Mann was staring at her with her hatchet eyes open.
“Rom-nim. What can I do?”
“Umm… First of all, can you guide me to a nearby patient? I want to check if my guess is correct.”
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
Following her guidance, we arrived at a small smithy.
“Felix! Felix is here!?”
“Uh, uh? Lily? Didn’t you leave town?”
A man named Felix, who appeared with his hatchet, was a man who could never be called handsome, with a shaggy beard and an impressively curved nose.
“Did your mother get sick a few days ago?”
“…That’s right. My body is changing little by little, so I was wondering if I should make it comfortable for you.”
There was deep fear and anxiety in his expression as he fiddled with the hatchet.
“Can I take a look at your mother?”
“Huh. Who, who…?”
Surprised by my sudden appearance, he opened his mouth wide when he saw the dazzlingly beautiful women who got off the carriage.
“Let me guide you.”
“Ah, uh, what, why are you doing that…?”
“Maybe I can cure you.”
“Are you sure!?”
Felix looked at Lily with wide-open eyes, and Lily nodded her head coldly.
“It’s true. Even this person is a warrior? So hurry up and guide me.”
“Hero-sama…! Anyway, this way!”
I hurriedly followed Felix as she moved, and subtly massaged Lily’s bottom.
“…”
Lily looked sideways at me, pretending not to know, and Alan was grinding her teeth, staining her face red.
