Chapter 30 – 7. Canyon. (5)
First row, big Frank, muscular May.
2nd row, Captain Aiden, Trainee Victor, Monk Alphonse.
3rd row, old dog Kalisman, half-eared Orianna.
4th row, red-haired mage Elena, sobriety Allen.
The crew took their positions and waited for the enemy to approach. The Witchbeasts standing in a row on the sheer cliffs of the canyon jumped down at the same time as if they had promised.
The proof that Allen can be sure that it is a demonic beast is that the types of monsters he sees are naturally impossible to be in one place. They must have swallowed the black mana and lost their will.
… Warlock, that bastard… ?
Allen quickly scanned the edge of the cliff with red, bloodshot eyes. Her gaze, which followed the bumpy curve, stopped at one spot.
There was something strange. The life form seems to be a life form, but it was not visible in human form. … By analogy, like clay dough.
That’s where Allen felt right. That is a black magician in the process of becoming a demon. … It seems that he has already shed his human skin.
A considerable number of demon beasts scattered and attacked the group. Allen – There are three guys running towards the mercenaries… , No two.
“One is missing! Catch that bastard!!”
Three rows of old dog Kalisman and half-eared Orianna received Danju’s order and ran to catch the guy who fell sideways. And two cubs running towards them.
A monster with the head of a hippopotamus, but with the body of a gorilla, rushed over with red eyes and swung his right arm to strike the round shields of the two muscle pigs waiting in the first row.
ㅡㅡ!!
With formidable destructive power, the two figures fell backwards in one shot. If the crew members standing in the second row hadn’t supported them, they would have flown farther back.
However, the two jumped up again like tumbleweeds. There was no time to lie down unsightly. The moment you feel sorry for yourself, you can quit your job with Lee Seung.
Then, the beast that looked like a bastard spun sideways as if it were aiming for a blind spot, and suddenly rushed at it. Fortunately, the monk hit the sharp snout with an iron-cored mace before being bitten by its sharp teeth.
“Sir! Come on!”
Every time he wielded his mace, he sang “God bless you” As a habit.
While the members worked hard with the demons, Allen persistently observed the warlock’s behavior. The guy at the edge of the cliff finally climbed the wall and started to come down.
… Now comes… !
The one who came down to the bottom of the cliff crossed the flowing water and finally stood in front of the group.
The guy standing near the 9th string was bigger than I thought. Allen opened his eyes thinly and strained his eyes to take a closer look at the creature. … And it was only then that I realized that he was a corpse paste made of people’s bodies crushed and put together.
Fuck this.
The sight of dozens of limbs sticking out from under the corpse and moving was grotesque.
The shape of the dough was pushed all the way back, and suddenly it was shot forward. Several members of the 9th Mercenary Brigade were swept away by it.
Aaaaah-.
Seeb aaaaagh
It literally swallowed humans whole. The moment they disappeared, the horrible screams stopped in an instant. At the same time, its gigantic body swayed and several new limbs protruded to the surface.
“What the fuck.”
No matter how daring Allen was, he couldn’t help but curse at his voice.
Guys number 10 also saw it and decided that it was impossible to deal with, so they started running away. Of course, towards the 11th Allen-Mercenary Corps.
“Elena-!”
Allen called Elena right next to him. Then she clasped her cheeks with both hands and made her look straight at herself.
Of course, she too had witnessed the terrifying presence, so tension and fear filled her eyes.
“Look at me. Look at me straight!”
“N, yes, yes—!”
“Don’t be scared. The moment you step back because you’re scared, it’s over. Okay? You have to keep your mind to the end. I’ll be by your side Because I will be by your side until the end!!”
“Yes… ! I see. I’ll do it. I’ll… !”
Allen held her Elena tightly once, patting her on the back to cheer her up, then let her go.
She looked squarely in the direction where her corpse paste was. Then she folded her hands together, as if in prayer, and slowly removed them while chanting an ancient rune.
The mana that gradually starts to gather between the two hands. As befits an elemental class, her magic was destructive elemental magic. Mass destruction magic that focuses on effectiveness rather than efficiency.
ㅡㅡㅡ.
The pale blue mana grew to the size of her newborn baby’s head.
Then the dough of her corpse twisted and twisted her body. It was aimed at number 10 who ran away, but the place where they ran away was the place where Allen-Mercenary Corps was located.
And the monster started running.
“This fuck, shoot aaaaa!!!!”
At the same time as Allen’s scream, the red-haired wizard fired a managu. It hit the right side of the body of the corpse dough with its mouth grotesquely open.
Aaaaa
And a huge explosion. The monster that was running towards the mercenaries was turned and crashed into a stone wall along with the empty wagon.
Before her corpse batter hit her wagon, Allen pulled her sucker master’s arm towards him, took her in her arms, and rolled her across the floor.
The monster even absorbed the two horses it collided with. Hee-hee-hee, the pathetic cry of the horse quickly stopped. And three or four legs of the horse stick out between the limbs of the corpse.
“Helena, again, again——!!”
Flesh was rubbed on the dirt floor and bleeding, but neither of them felt any pain. All the members of the crew were half stunned by his terrible appearance.
The sucker got up quickly and started memorizing the rune again. His finely-tied hair was untied and scattered, and his clothes were disheveled, but now was not the time to care about such things.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ.
She made a bigger and brighter managu than before. However, the strain on her body seemed to be straining, and her arms, which held her mana orbs, shook so much that she could see them.
“Shoot, shoot quickly!”
And the moment the monster tried to move again, the sucker’s magic directly hit the torso. With the sound of flesh bursting, body fragments scattered in all directions. People around were covered in a fetid filth of flesh and blood.
…… Hatch, did you cry?
It was a destructive force that could not but be thought of as death. … However, despite losing half of its body, the monster did not die.
– Turn it off.
The guy poured out his thick vomit, and ran straight to the spout master.
Oh
Her Allen, who was right next to her, unknowingly, on her reflex, hugged her and twisted her body. At the same time, only Viktor and Kalisman rushed with all their might and blocked their way. … However, it seemed far from stopping his charge.
At that time.
With a powerful explosion, the corpse’s dough flew to the side. It hit another wagon and rolled over.
Mandible, mandible, mandible.
Everyone stared at the sizzling dying monster, then turned their heads the other way to see who had saved them.
Their eyes saw a blonde beauty gasping for air with her arms stretched out. Kalim – The mercenary wizard, Lilia.
“… Seepaaal….”
As the relief of her life ran through her body, Allen could hardly stand up. He collapsed to the floor along with the red-haired monk in her arms.
Lived really. I almost died this time. Really. Fuck hair. Lived that he lived
“Phehehe….”
Allen couldn’t contain his laughter. It was a laugh she could not understand. Just the kind of laugh that crazy people do.
After a while, Kalim Danju cleared her front and appeared a step late. As he looked at Lilia, she shrugged her lightly.
“I didn’t do much. That side got almost all of them.”
“… Okay?”
Kalim Danju glanced at the gradually melting monster, then moved his gaze to the mercenaries scattered on the floor.
Come to think of it, this time it was the Allen-Mercenary Corps.
… Certainly things are things.
He approached them spread out on the floor. Allen Danju, stretched out on the floor in a large figure, gasped for breath and stared at Kalim Danju, who was standing tall and looking down at him.
For some reason, the solemn Danju Kalim, who rarely smiled, smiled lightly.
“Good job. Your mercenaries did it.”
Allen muttered in a dying voice.
“… Hey what… , All I did was shout from behind….”
“Okay…. Okay rest. A little.”
Allen closed her eyes. And she just fell asleep.
It wasn’t a nightmare this time.
It was a sleep that was sweeter than honey.
