Chapter 147 – 33. East Again. (4)
The clue is the disappearance of the rich sheep herder.
The father, who informed the police that his son, who had gone out briefly at night, was missing, also disappeared a few days later. The security forces, unable to find any traces, eventually concluded the case with a mysterious disappearance, but with the new possibility of heresy in mind, it was not clear.
The decisive thing is that there is a place where a major battle took place nearby.
Allen speculated that the sheepherder’s son had accidentally witnessed the heretic’s suspicious behavior at night, and that they killed the son to silence him and later killed the father as well. Of course, this is just an assumption, so a direct confirmation process was necessary.
Thus, the Allen-Mercenary Corps and the Holy Knights disguised themselves as woodcutters or herbalists, conscious of people’s eyes, and headed to the place where the bodies were incinerated and buried after the battle. Of course, heretics wouldn’t commit acts in broad daylight, so not a shadow of a person strayed from that hideous place.
The Blind Saint and the Smell Girl had a natural talent for feeling suspicious energy, so the two used their special skills to thoroughly check the surroundings.
One by sight, the other by smell.
“Something has been done here. I think heresy is right.”
And both women confirmed that there was a heretical operation here.
As the assumption turned out to be true, Allen and Quintus planned to ambush and capture heretics in the vicinity today.
The problem is that the area around here is a field full of grass, so there is no proper hiding place.
“The forest is too far. On the way, I’m sure they’ll get caught.”
Allen, who was momentarily troubled by the words of vice-captain Quintus, devised a plan to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
“You will have to hide in the ground. You won’t be able to tell them apart at night anyway. They hide there secretly, and the moment you send a signal, they come out at the same time and attack them.”
The middle-aged knight also judged that it was reasonable and decided to follow the ploy.
So the group quickly got a shovel and started digging in earnest. Of course, it took a lot of labor to dig a hole big enough for one person to fit into.
Still, since most of the group were skilled at using their bodies, they quickly got used to shoveling. After all the pits were dug according to the number of people, the day began to set. Each of them chose his pit and stood in front of it.
“Once you go in, don’t come out until you give the signal. Even errands are solved inside.”
“Yes, Danju.”
The group, who had slipped into their pits, even covered their heads with a tangled tangle of grass roots. Then, it was really hidden. As long as you don’t make a loud noise, you won’t be caught.
As I ate jerky in the pit to satisfy my hunger, the sun slid behind the ridge before I knew it. Soon, silver moonlight began to gently spread over the quiet field without a single person. Except for the fact that it was a field with burnt corpses, it was a truly beautiful night view.
Allen patiently looked around, enduring fatigue and drowsiness. Of course, I couldn’t guarantee that they would appear today, but since they also have to avoid people’s eyes, they won’t be very relaxed. I’ve even been caught before. So you want to get the job done as quickly as possible.
Clearly, the energy was still alive. That means, until recently, they’ve been playing tricks. … If that’s right, it will definitely come today… !
…… And again, not a short time passed. It must have been well past midnight.
Just as Allen’s eyes were glistening with fatigue, someone called for sobriety.
“Dan-lord, look over there… !”
The one who discovered and reported a group of suspicious people was Corey, a new member of [Overmotivation]. In the middle of the night, not just one or two people, but dozens of people, could not help but think it was strange.
Appear. It’s heresy… !
As soon as Allen saw them, he opened the status window and confirmed that they were heretics. They, of course, made their way to the burial site of the charred body and huddled over it. And the mysterious black magic that begins soon.
The crew looked at Danju, asking what to do. However, he firmly shook his head that it was not yet time.
Now, the reason he came all the way to the East with his mercenaries wasn’t simply to defeat heretics. Because I need those evil marbles they make—.
In [Guild Master], When you catch a devil worshiper, you randomly drop an item called an evil orb, but of course you couldn’t expect a system that was so convenient in reality. We’ll have to wait until they finish them all. However, you can’t make the crew learn dark magic that will eventually lead to corruption.
Fortunately, though, Allen could roughly grasp the current situation from afar through their status window. Then, just before he finishes his job, he can send the attack signal in time.
A long time passed again, and Allen, who confirmed that the time was approaching, called his vice-captain, Quintus, and nodded his head slowly.
And at the same time he shouted the last three, he jumped out of the ground.
“Turn around!”
Allen-The mercenaries and the Holy Knights quickly rushed towards the enemy. The situation was so sudden that the other party was also taken aback at the moment, but they prepared to respond fairly quickly. …… At least it doesn’t look like they’re a bunch of goofballs.
Soon the two groups collided. At the same time, some of the enemies started to run away. They were the ones who used black magic in the middle of the group earlier.
I don’t know about the others, but I couldn’t miss them. It’s because they’re carrying the evil orb.
“Natasha, catch them!”
At Allen’s command, the gum inspector broke through the defenses and followed closely behind the fleeing group. Of course, they weren’t fools either, so they had at least a trump card in case of an emergency.
The warlock, who confirmed the enemy’s pursuit, probably judged that he couldn’t escape, stretched out his arms toward the sky, and put his hands together as if clapping. Dark black mana slowly blooming. And soon, two huge arms burst out of his body. Of course, the black magician whose body was torn apart died on the spot.
The Witchbeast, who descended upon a black magician as a sacrifice, had the body of a gorilla, the tail of a lion, and the head of a crocodile. He didn’t care about the devil worshipers, he snatched the other warlock right next to him with his hands, threw it right into his snout, and chewed and swallowed it.
Gureooooo!!!!
Splashing blood and letting out a terrifying cry, he ran toward Natasha at high speed. Although there was a big difference in his height and size, he took a stance while glaring at him savagely without fear of gum milk inspection.
After confirming the appearance of the Witchbeast, Allen called out to the blind saint who fought fiercely to join Natasha. He believes in Natasha’s strength, but he can’t help but assume the situation from the point of view of sobriety….
Of course, the battle between the Witchbeast and Natasha, who were close to each other, began before Odnun even joined.
If she hadn’t met the Sword Emperor, it would have been a pretty tough fight for her. However, she had met a man at the pinnacle of the sword, and she had experienced his sword.
… Can do… !
The Witchbeast’s attack was strong and fast, but Natasha moved half a beat faster than that.
His steps were fast, but his sword was heavy. The much larger arm of the Witchbeast was severed like a lie with a sword like a toothpick. It was the result of an exquisite fusion of power, speed, and technology.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The Witchbeast, whose arm had been severed, immediately spun around and swung its steel-like tail like a whip. But Natasha dodged it by leaping into the air and crashing through her floor.
He aimed at that moment and stabbed his long snout. Just then, after completing the chant, the magician, who had been waiting for an opportunity, cast the prepared magic.
And the elemental magic that flew like a beam of light hit Natasha’s body as she slashed her snout with a knife that was about to enter her own chest.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!
The destructive power of the magic mixed with [Enlightenment] Was stronger than before. The magic was so powerful that half of the beast’s torso exploded at once. It screamed in pain and rage.
And at that moment, the fist of the blind saintess who was running towards him was pierced into his torso.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!
With that powerful punch, the beast’s huge torso briefly rose into the air and then fell to the ground. The rest of the parts that were at least intact were completely harpooned by the blind saintess’ punches.
Even so, the Witchbeast was still breathing. As befits a being from hell, one of his lives was filthy persistent. … That’s why heretics are also talking about eternal life.
The Witchbeast howled in great anger. Being humiliated by such an insignificant creature.
But the situation is already hopeless. The Witchbeast was overwhelmed by the combined attack of the three without even being able to properly counterattack.
In the end, Natasha’s black witch’s head was severely cut off. The separated head and body soon turned into smoke and dispersed.
And with the demon’s death, the battle soon came to an end.
