Chapter 114 – 27. Overwhelming. (2)
The road, which had been stopped by people for a long time after mining work stopped, turned into a natural one, enough to feel that it had not been used for a long time.
Allen-Mercenary Corps, who led the way, walked along the same road, being wary of the sandbar. The lifeblood that was faintly scattered throughout the demonic realm stuck to the body like goblin’s needles. Although he has been trained by taking on numerous missions, Allen’s body has never gotten used to living like that. It’s probably because he’s a timid man born from birth, and he’s a scumbag with no power or anything.
… I remember my first mission….
Walking down the street, Allen remembered the first time he started a mercenary business. …… Comparing then and now, it has changed so much that it is literally a different feeling.
Of course, he tried hard, but he couldn’t ignore luck either. As soon as Chapter 1 is over, I caught the blind saint who had to go back, and easily recruited a gum milk tester that I couldn’t even dream of originally as a demon disease.
The blind saintess sent the promised signal, as if the monster appeared secretly while Dan-joo was soaked in memories for such a short time. At the same time, the Allen-Mercenary corps, as they had trained, pushed Mister Elena and Danju in the middle and formed a circular formation to protect them.
And the monsters that appeared soon after. It was a group of demon dogs that can often be seen in the Devil’s Nest.
They seemed to be searching for a group of mercenaries for a moment, but then they rushed ferociously at the mercenaries at the same time. As if he wouldn’t give up his delicious food to someone else.
However, even if it was the Southern Mercenary Corps, for the Allen-Mercenary Corps or the Pharos-Mercenary Corps, a demon dog that was not a demon beast could not even be an appetizer before the ceremony.
They literally beat the demon dog that was attacking without knowing the subject in the blink of an eye. When more than half of the group of monsters died in an instant, they were surprised and ran away.
Only then did the southern mercenary corps realize that the two mercenary corps from Vermandois were on a different level from them. … To be honest, I haven’t noticed much of a difference before.
Of course, the Charlotte-mercenary corps had grown enough to deal with the demon dogs with ease, but the two mercenary corps in Vermandois were of very different levels. I guess I felt that I wasn’t getting a lot of money for nothing.
Originally, I would have taken a short break after fighting the monster, but the battle ended so quickly that I didn’t feel the need to take a break. So, Allen Danju gave the starting signal immediately without a break.
The group of mercenaries regrouped and started walking. Fortunately, they reached the mine fort around noon without further monstrous attacks.
Of course, the fire in the hearth has been turned off here as well. Moreover, like the fortress at the entrance to the Devil’s Edge, there were no guards here. The fort was in ruins like an old historical site, probably because there was no such touch.
“The Witchbeast must have been here too.”
“Are there any traces?”
“Yes. I have a little left.”
That means the demons aren’t too far away. Fortunately for them, it was good news. It’s because there’s no longer a need to scramble through the Demon Realm to find the Witchbeast.
Once, Charlotte declared a grand break at the mine fortress. Eat here, take a nap, and relax.
The group took out a couple of flat jerky pieces and ate them, then lay down and took a short nap. And when the hourglass was halfway down, he got up again, left the fort, and began his search in earnest.
Allen believed in the blind saint’s tracking ability and moved. As long as there is no eyewitness account of where she saw it, that’s the only way for now. Otherwise, wait for him to find you…. But as Allen, for whom time is money, sitting around waiting for him was a way he didn’t like.
Fortunately, there were traces of him passing through the fortress once, so I caught his tail much easier than expected.
Of course, as much as she was focused on tracking her, Odd’s eyes had almost no vigilance, but the gum milk test filled her vacancy. Even if Natasha becomes infinitely lascivious in the face of her friendships, she is an almost impeccably good female swordsman in her duties.
Her years in the Demon Realm were short. As it got darker everywhere, the number of lives increased exponentially. No matter how southern it is, the Devil’s Nest is still a Devil’s Edge.
“I’m going to have a hell of a hard time again.”
Having to spend the night without a promise in the Devil’s Nest itself was already a difficult task. Even if Allen-Mercenary Corps is very powerful in terms of power, it is not something that can overcome even sleep or fatigue.
Apparently, this is a demonic realm where you don’t know what might pop out, so it was decided to assign one night watchman to each part from all mercenaries without setting a separate turn.
A total of five bonfires were made according to the number of mercenaries. Then each of them grabbed one and sat down to eat a simple dinner, then immediately lay down on the rug.
Whoa.
As soon as Allen lay down on her rug, a long breath came out. She does it for money, but she couldn’t help but think that the Demon Lord was a dick. It feels like a murderer is standing right next to him holding a knife. Really forced to sleep.
Of course, the same goes for Charlotte Danju, who tosses and turns without sleep. Although she often patrolled the Mine Fortress of the Demonic Realm until the demonic avalanche broke out, she never got used to it. Especially at night, when life becomes much stronger, it is literally hell itself.
…… If possible, I hope something doesn’t come out at night…….
Still, when I was on patrol, I spent the night in a fort with walls, but there was no such thing now. Sleeping on the bare ground, not knowing when and where a monster might suddenly pop out, is impossible with just a little talk.
However, even the fear of death is powerless in the face of extreme blood.
Charlotte, who had been thinking about the first half, eventually fell asleep as if she had passed out.
…… She had a nightmare of being chased by a terrifying monster.
· · ·
– Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
At the loud sound of the bell, people woke up in amazement.
The night is still deep everywhere. That means the enemy has appeared.
Charlotte Danju, who had been sleeping uncomfortably on the rug, was also startled by the sound of a bell. At the same time, a group of monsters attacking a group of mercenaries.
Because it was such a sudden night attack, several mercenaries who had just woken up got tangled up in their hands and feet and allowed them to attack.
“Get your mind straight and respond! Even the sophomores take a deep breath and get in formation—!!”
At that time, Allen Danju shouted to the mercenary group in a clear and loud voice. Charlotte Danju, who was dizzy, heard his cry and found some stability.
A total of four slime-skinned monsters that exude a terrible stench from their bodies. It was three or four times bigger than a demon dog, and it wielded several long, slender arms like tentacles. Numerous sharp thorns were embedded in the tentacles, and the slightest touch of them caused paralysis.
Of course, the mercenaries who were unaware of this collapsed forward and convulsed. Of course, most of them were mercenaries from the south.
When two of the Charlotte-Mercenary Corps fell helplessly, an empty hole opened in an instant. Ah. She instinctively realized that the spines of those tentacles were dangerous, and she shouted to strike back carefully, but since two people were already missing, she was in a hurry to block the fast-moving tentacles.
Right at that moment, Allen-Mercenary Corps appeared coolly and quickly killed the tentacle monster that was dealing with Charlotte-Mercenary Corps. Allen Danju approached the panting Charlotte Danju and kindly asked if he was hurt.
Of course, he was instinctively kind to the water owner, but she couldn’t help but be a bit suspicious. At least when he was on duty, he was a stronger and more powerful man than anyone else. Even the smallest mistake is unacceptable.
“… Oh, that, yes…. For now, I think it’s fine.”
“I’m glad. Because that guy has paralysis poison on his tentacles and is a bit dangerous.”
Quickly sorting out the situation, the Allen-Mercenary Corps quickly began follow-up.
The mercenaries with paralysis symptoms were laid upright, and a knife was cut at the area touched by the tentacle, so that the blood was poured out quickly to release the paralytic poison as much as possible, and the potion was slightly diluted and fed.
A mercenary who was severely hit by the paralysis poison went to the point where he almost died, but was fortunately saved by first aid. Still, the tentacle beast prefers to suck the bodily fluids of its living prey, so the paralysis poison itself wasn’t very powerful. If you drink plenty of potions and get a good night’s rest, you’ll wake up in no time.
It was obviously a surprise attack like thunder from the sky, not only for the sojus in the south, but also for Charlotte, but the two sojus of Vermandois noticed that it was no big deal.
Charlotte kept glancing at Allen Danju. …… Now, it seems that the cheek is not slapped.
– You motherfucking bitch
Selling eyes.
A hand that slaps the cheek without hesitation.
A hand gripping the collar.
A voice screaming ferociously.
After tidying up, the blonde-haired Danju lay down on the rug again.
… Haaa….
She couldn’t comprehend why that scene kept lingering in her mind like a to-do list.
Charlotte fell asleep again exhausted.
In her dream this time, she saw Allen Danzoo screaming at her, holding her own by the collar.
– This fucking bitch aaaaa!!!
And, a hand that slaps the cheek mercilessly.
Ah-.
…… An unknown joy crept into her chest.
