Chapter 115 – 27. Overwhelming. (3)
As soon as the day dawned, the weather bell rang. The mercenaries, who repeatedly woke up all night because of nightmares, woke up with grunts and pained sounds. Unresolved fatigue was smeared like dust all over his face.
After only a day of scruffy appearances, the group cleared the camp with only their stomachs full and unable to wash their face. After all, they came to catch the Witchbeast, not for experiential learning. I have to complete my goal as soon as possible and return.
The life that stabbed deep into the stomach gradually subsided with the sunrise. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s completely gone, but the feeling of a murderer sticking a knife right behind your back is gone.
Now, the jokes that were exchanged between the crew members from time to time disappeared as if they had been washed. It’s normal for me to have no time to joke about around the second day.
“How is the trail?”
“It is still faint. I think it’s a bit distant.”
The blind saintess said that she would have to wait a day or two more. Neither she nor Allen thought things would be so easy. She sucked away all the unlucky luck she already had.
The march with no promise continued. Of course, I’m wandering around the demon realm, but it’s only natural to meet a monster. From their point of view, delicious prey is like walking around the courtyard of my house without knowing the subject.
However, a group of mercenaries cut through the monsters they met. … No, to be precise, the Allen-Mercenary Corps. Even the high-level Pharos-Mercenaries were surprised by their overwhelming performance. There is a reason why it is called the most promising divinity in Vermandois.
It seems that the other three sophomores also did not know that Allen-Mercenary Corps would be as strong as this. … It was only then that Charlotte seemed to understand why Arlen Danju had asked for such a high hiring fee.
… This is the mercenary group favored by the strong 10 Danju… !
At the same time, Charlotte was a bit depressed. It seems that the starting lines of the two were almost identical in the past, but now it has changed to a world of difference. … It’s like seeing an old friend from the neighborhood who left abruptly one day come back with a tremendous success.
Of course, Allen had little interest in what the sobers thought. He only longs for the idea of finding and killing the beast, Vendradan, as soon as possible and returning home.
However, as Ordnun had said, on the second day, not even the demon beast was found.
It was getting dark, and they prepared their second camp. The mercenaries, who were exhausted from forced marches all day long, lay flat and fell asleep with only their stomachs full. A monster or something, the first priority is to lie down and get rid of this terrible fatigue while sleeping.
Of course, the monster’s attack continued throughout the night. Not even once, but many times.
In particular, when the demon dogs swarmed in the second raid, a powerful elemental magic shot by the sucker mage Elena shocked the mercenaries in the south. To be honest, I’ve never really felt the power of wizards even though I’m a wizard, but I’ve definitely seen and experienced it this time.
Charlotte Danju couldn’t help but be surprised by its power. I feel like if I had a wizard like this, I would be able to easily catch monsters as well as monsters.
…… Just in case you don’t know, let’s poke it once…… ?
Allen Danju’s treatment towards such a great wizard was not very outstanding, so I thought that maybe there might be complaints about the treatment.
Of course, in the eyes of that big-breasted wizard, there’s no way the poor mercenary corps of the South would be successful, but I’ll have to try. Shouldn’t it be below anyway?
Anyway, the second night, when I was able to confirm the sorceress’s amazing magic, also passed, and the morning of the third day dawned.
But unfortunately, the day was overcast, so it was dark everywhere like the setting sun. Everyone hoped that it would stop raining, but as if their earnest prayers did not reach the sky, thick raindrops fell one by one and soon turned into heavy rain, saying, “Let’s shoot!”
“Oh shit.”
But even though we’ve come this far, we can’t stop our mission just because it’s raining. They walked in the rain, wearing leather hoodies.
Because the sun was obscured by dark clouds, the life did not subside and it was as thick as night. A heavy rain is also coming, but it stabs the skin to the point of bloody death. The taste of death for mercenaries.
Fortunately, the heavy rain weakened a bit after a while, but it was still not the order to walk around. And your pants are already wet.
And so, the forced march without any promise began. However, unlike usual, Odd Noon’s expression has changed a bit.
The blind saintess visited Allen briefly during a short break.
“Why?”
“My energy has grown quite strong. …… Maybe, today, I might meet him.”
“… I get it.”
Hearing Odd Noon’s prediction, Allen Danju called all the other four Danju together.
“If it’s as early as today, we might find the Witchbeast.”
His sharp gaze pricked each of the four pairs of eyes. In particular, it lingered in Charlotte’s eyes. A feeling of commitment.
Everyone shook their heads once and then scattered to their respective mercenaries. Let the crew know about this in advance so that they can be ready to fight at any time.
Perhaps because they heard that they might meet the Witchbeast later, the expressions and actions of the mercenaries changed quite a bit. As if preparing for a blood clot.
The rain became weaker, but did not stop. The group continued to move through the rain.
Then, from a certain moment, the monsters I often encountered stopped appearing like a lie. As if to say that from here on, even the monsters avoid it…. There was no way the mercenaries, who were very nervous, would not know that simple fact.
After taking about four more short breaks like that, the blind saintess Aude Noon, who was chasing after the Witchbeast, sent a signal to Allen Danju.
That kind of sign that I’ll meet him soon—-.
Allen gave the group a hand signal. Now, prepare for a battle with the Witchbeast. They walked slowly and did a final check.
……… And finally.
The group of mercenaries faced the beast, Vendradan.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor like an ascetic practicing the sword, the Witch Master, lost in meditation, slowly opened his eyes. Seeing this, Allen was honestly dumbfounded. He ate the brains of some bastard, so he became a demon wiping.
As soon as the group saw the Witchbeast, they immediately formed a formation. At the same time, Mage Elena’s elemental magic chant.
Vendradan slowly stood up from his seat and looked down at the mercenaries with the strange eyes of a goat.
Meeeee
The ghastly cry of a goat shook the hearts of the mercenaries. The eerie black mana burrowed into people’s bodies and aroused primal fear.
“It’s a quick fix. It’s dangerous if you drag it on for a long time. I’m going to go straight from that bastard.”
Allen especially gave such instructions to the blind saint, the gum milk tester, and the sucker. While the three of them concentrated their attacks on the monsters, the rest stopped the swarming monsters.
For the time being, if only the demon controlling the monster was killed, the rest could be solved somehow.
Then again Vendradan cried very loudly, meeeee Odnun, who could see the energy, announced that the black mana had spread all over the place. It was probably calling monsters.
As Allen ordered the attack, Vendradan fired manatan. He probably ate the brain of the bastard wizard who summoned him.
The powerful manatan flew not towards Allen-Mercenary Corps, but towards Paros-Mercenary Corps right next to it. The magician quickly hit the shield, but the intensity was weak because he hit it so quickly. Naturally, the shield that the mana bullet hit was broken in one blow, and it exploded without much offset from the impact.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The Pharos-Mercenary Corps, as well as the Allen-Mercenary Corps next to it, were caught up in the explosion. I held up my shield in the outermost row to block the explosion as much as possible, but I still couldn’t stop the body from being pushed back. Of course, Allen Danju, who was stuck in the middle, fell ugly as the crew pushed back. Of course, the sucker also fell to the floor and his first magic was distorted.
Damn it!
At the same time, monsters start pouring in from all directions. The monsters didn’t even matter what species they were.
The blind saintess and gum milk inspector, who were caught up in the explosion, immediately rushed at Vendradan. However, as if he had already expected that, he created magic in each of his hands.
This crazy-! Double casting?!
Among the [Geniuses], The double casting is said to be possible only for [Deduction]. Even if you recruited just one mage like that, it was said that the third row was complete.
It seems that the demon beast swallowed the magician and polished his sword, and then really [Drew his sword]. There are often demons and monsters that evolve by eating human brains, but this was the first time in such a long play time.
The guy threw the magic he had made in both hands at the blind saint and the gum inspector at the same time. The girls were also perplexed, not knowing that he could make two magics at the same time.
Clearly, Vendradan displayed ridiculously fraudulent magical abilities. ……… However, the fraudulent thing is the same for both women.
With an agility stat of nearly 60, they couldn’t even hit arrows, but there was no way they would be hit by magic that was a little slower than that. The two hurriedly turned and quickly dodged the magic, then kicked the ground again.
ㅡㅡ!!
Conversely, it was the Witchbeast Vendradan who was taken aback this time. I didn’t know that the two of them could surpass the speed of magic.
But he wasn’t completely without safety devices either. The wizard he ate was very safety-conscious, and he was very careful when summoning the beast. …… Although it was an error in judgment that a monster that was stronger than I could have imagined came out.
He is covered in a powerful magic shield. A shy attack will give the opponent a bigger shock.
And the two women attacked almost simultaneously.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
It was a shock that far exceeded the limit of the shield. The shield shattered and exploded, and of course, Vendradan had to take the shock.
Of course, because the two were so close together, they had no choice but to receive some of the aftermath of the explosion. In particular, Odnun hit him with his fist, so it was more than Natasha.
“… Quit.”
The blind saintess frowned at the intense pain she felt in her right shoulder. Had she been hit a little harder, she would have lost the use of her right arm. Although, of course, she still has quite a few problems.
During that one battle, a group of monsters had already attacked the mercenaries. Odnun and Natasha looked at each other almost simultaneously. It means to drive this momentum and deal with him at once.
Although not in perfect condition, Vendradan survived the powerful shock. It is said that he is using the wizard’s brain, but he is fundamentally a witch beast. His physical abilities far exceeded that of a monster, so even if he didn’t have magic, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
Dare, trivial things… !
He vented his rage at the two women who lunged at him again. With the intention of tearing open their claws and devouring their brains.
…… However, the moment he took a second glance, manatan flew into his head and exploded.
ㅡㅡ!!
The blow of conversion of the sucker mage.
Of course, with that strong toughness, I somehow managed to hold on, but the problem was the two human females who were close to each other.
The blind saint’s fist hit his right chest, and the black gum inspector’s neck and left shoulder blade.
At the same time as the attack entered, his upper body disintegrated into pieces. No matter how much Vendradan the Witchbeast was, there was absolutely no ability to withstand that powerful attack.
Eumee Eh ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ.
With the scream of the tearing goat, the body of the demon beast bursts into powder and is summoned back to hell.
One martial artist, one swordsman, and one wizard,
It showed overwhelming power against the Demon Beast.
