Chapter 395 – Chapter 361 – The Hunt of Beasts for Domination! (2)
“Ha…! Ha…!”
“Huh, huh…! Oh, brother…!”
Damn! Damn! Shit!! What is this now!!?
Obviously we were just here to catch Griffin! Why did this happen!?
“Ra, brother Lyle…! Hedon, Hedon oppa…!!”
“Run without looking back! Then you might get caught!”
“Hey, Hedon oppa…!!”
Fuck, fuck, fuck…!! Why did this happen to us…!!
Why on earth did ‘that monster’ attack us!?
The 6 of us couldn’t have done this…! In the future, we would only have to grow further…!!
Seebaaaaal! We were going to go higher together!! That monster bastard killed Heddon!!!
“Everyone…! Everyone will be safe…!? Did you get out safely…!?”
“It will be all right! Absolutely no doubt…! As long as we get out of here, even that crazy monster won’t be able to attack recklessly…!!”
Rami by my side right now, and Cindy, Krisha, and Gerk who are all scattered separately…!
Everyone is scattered and leaving this hill, so they won’t be able to follow us all…!
Damn…! If Haddon hadn’t taken the lead, we’d be all over the monster by now…
Big…! Hedon…! To trample on my friend Hedon so horribly and explode…!
I can’t forgive you! Whatever it is, I will definitely kill that monster…!
“Quaaaaa!!”
“Lyle Oppa!!!”
It was a bit now. I could have escaped this place if I just went down that place that was unfolding before my eyes.
It wasn’t long now, but a piece of ice flew from somewhere and got stuck in my thigh.
A sharp pain as if the thigh were being cut off. I couldn’t stand the pain, while a desperate scream burst out of my mouth.
“Cuk-Cuk…♥ The Demon King has business with you, but you run away rudely…♥”
A woman with her blue hair emerged from the direction from which her ice had blown, with a wicked laugh.
A woman who showed up in a stunning outfit that covered only her nipples with her straps, her breasts appearing larger than her own head.
Gorgeous tattoos all over her body, and strange patterns that glow with an evil feeling from her slightly protruding belly… That prostitute-like figure and face that I remember seeing once or twice somewhere.
The moment I saw that woman’s face, the despair that it would be useless even if I ran away to the city came to tear my hope.
“Everything, you… Why…”
“Oh my goodness. Does that bitch know me? Whoops…♥ Then, you must have realized that it would be useless to run away, right?”
That blue hair. A luxurious coat worn over lewd attire, worn by aristocrats.
The piece of ice stuck in her thigh tells me who she is.
Because of her recent appearance with Shinsoo, sexual rumors are circulating among adventurers… That woman.
Rumors are heard that she is having an affair with Shin-soo, a monster, leaving her husband alone…
Lord of Lydia. It was Radir Neb Ceres.
“Stop your futile resistance and follow me calmly♥ Only then, the merciful Demon King…♥”
That evil smile that seemed to show no guilt or concern for his actions that attacked me.
That woman’s eyes, smiling like a beast…
“Because he will show the females the happiness of becoming Demon King-nim’s livestock♥ and the males, the ecstatic despair of having their females taken away, and trample on them♥”
A very ominous light shimmered and glared sharply at Rami and me.

“Griffon? Three of them too?”
“We’ve never caught a griffon before… Is that okay?”
Two days before Lyle and Rami leave to subdue Griffon.
A six-member guild made up of only childhood friends. The meeting of the ‘Lantern of Destiny’ was going on at a bar in Ladia.
“I heard that gryphons are worth catching only when the middle class level 40 or higher is gathered…”
“Did you find out and receive it properly? Brother Lyle?”
The griffon subjugation quest that their leader, Lyle, has been happily accepting.
Certainly, the amount written as compensation was a decent amount, but they were still young, and they were a little short of mid-level adventurers who could catch Griffin.
Knowing that well, the five friends except Lyle looked at their leader Lyle with worried eyes…
“It’s okay! There’s no way the guild management office can give us quests that don’t fit our level, right? Not just Millia-san, everyone assured us that we could do it!”
However, Ryle, who had been seduced by the beasts enslaved by the Demon King, was overflowing with his excessive self-confidence and enthusiasm.
His friends who don’t know that Lyle’s confidence is because the Demon King’s livestock stimulated Lyle with their bodies and the smell of animals.
Heddon, the oldest and most trustworthy of them all, nodded earnestly as he stroked his chin.
“Um… Yes. The Guild Management Office assigns quests considering the level of adventurers, so if we said it would be possible, there must be a possibility.”
“Yes! Now we, too, will have achievements to brag about to others!”
“However, it is only a possibility. Considering that I have no experience, three griffons are a burden… Why don’t we find griffons as carefully as possible and only challenge them when there is a possibility?”
Unlike Lyle, who is full of excitement, Heddon’s suggestion that we proceed cautiously while looking at the possibilities.
When Heddon, who was practically the leader of Lyle or higher, said that, the other four, who were wearing worried faces, nodded their heads.
“…Yes. Well, it’s not too much, because there’s almost no chance to catch a griffon like this…”
“It would have been nice if it was just one… The variable is how the three will move.”
“Then, as before, Heddon and Lyle are in charge of the front line, and I…”
“Hey you guys! Isn’t the reaction very different from when I said it!?”
Lyle shouts with half a tear as Hedon sees his friends getting serious about the proposal.
Towards Lyle, the five friends looked at him with smiles.
“But, my brother doesn’t have a sense of danger…”
“Anyway, for a leader, he’s not very trustworthy, right?”
“Ah! Do you have a habit of talking to the leader right now!? Krisha, are you going to try it!?”
As usual, the meeting of the light of fate where the chatter between friends continues.
Standing beside the excited Lyle with a half-smile, Cindy put her arms around her as if to comfort him.
“Ruler. Ruler. Calm down Lyle. Everyone is just nervous because it’s their first time with Griffin.”
“Big! After all, there is only Cindy! Watch Cindy and learn a little Kriesha!”
“I know these guys only date people…! Hey! Gurg! Say something too!”
“Ugh. Certainly Cindy’s modesty should be learned by Kriesha…”
“You bastard, aren’t you itchy because you’re not getting along these days!?”
Three male and three female childhood friends.
These childhood friends gathered together and became adventurers.
Lyle and Cindy. Krisha and Gerk. And Rami and Hedon, who are not as serious as the other two couples, but have a subtly good atmosphere.
Everyone present here had no doubt that this pleasant relationship would continue.
…After that, they don’t know what kind of despair will befall them…
“Then, this time, let’s prepare thoroughly and set off… How about preparing all day tomorrow and leaving in two days?”
“Yes. OK. Let’s all get together tomorrow as well and fix it all at once…”
“Yes! With this, we too will become one of the leading guilds in Ladia!”
Without knowing anything, Lyle bursts into laughter as he raises his beer mug.
In line with that line, the other five also lifted their beer glasses and laughed.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
“…What do you think? Can you see the griffon? Gurg?”
“No. I need to go up a bit more. It must have been at the top.”
Gurk looked ahead from the top of the tree while answering Lyle below.
Arriving at the hill where Gryphon is said to have settled, the Lantern of Destiny continued advancing while observing the surroundings through Gurk, who was in charge of the search.
“Sheesh. It would be nice if we could fight there. After all, don’t you come to a place with an open view like that?”
“Well… He must have made a nest on the top of the hill… And he doesn’t come down except for food?”
“Hmm… What do you think, Hedon? Is it right to go up like this?”
It’s a little vague to say it’s a mountain, a wooded hill.
Looking at the open space that spreads out in the middle of the hill, Lyle asked Heddon’s opinion, who was wearing heavy heavy armor.
“Hmm… There’s been a rumor that gryphon likes shiny things, so it might be a good idea to lure them in.”
“It’s lure… But, the thing that’s particularly shiny right now is…”
Because of his lack of experience, he grasped the griffon’s habits, but the plan for exactly how to hunt was poorly prepared.
As he left a good place to fight and continued his thoughts, Headon, who had presented his opinion, raised his hand and nodded.
“…I’ll go out and stay by myself. It can look shiny because of the metal armor.”
“It’s dangerous, Hedon oppa. We’d rather be together…”
“I’m just going to wait a little while. Ramie. If the griffon comes, it’s good, and if it doesn’t, you can go up the hill and figure it out again.”
As he stroked Rami’s head, who was worried about him, Heddon smiled and nodded as if to trust him.
Looking at Heddon, Lyle pondered seriously for a while.
“…Let’s lure it in for an hour or so, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll go up and take a look. If the environment on top of the hill is difficult to fight, just give up and retreat…”
Towards Lyle, who had a serious expression on his face as a leader, his friends all nodded as they grabbed their weapons.
“…Everyone. Follow me and hide somewhere out of sight and wait. I will go out and stand for a while…”
That’s how the Griffon Lure Operation of the Lantern of Fate began.
Following a plan that seemed sloppy but promising in its own way, Heddon began to lead the way.
With a slightly nervous appearance, the lantern of fate that followed Heddon at a distance.
After Heddon made his way through the trees towards the wide open space, he each bent down to take his place…
Headon, who was supposed to lure the griffon, froze in place without moving too far.
“…? Hedon. A little further forward to entice…”
Lyle, hiding a little away, speaks to Heddon, who suddenly freezes.
When Lyle looked up and looked at Heddon, for some reason Heddon stopped moving and stood there, trembling.
“…Heddon? What’s the matter!? What’s the matter!?”
“…Brother. There…”
Rami, Lyle’s younger brother, was hiding a little away from Lyle.
Rami, like a trembling Heddon, trembled her hand and pointed in front of Heddon.
Following where her own sister pointed, the moment Lyle turned her head and checked in front of Heddon.
There, a black monster I had seen somewhere was standing there with an eerie grin.
From that ferocious-looking muscular body, something sinister-looking black energy radiated.
“Ah, ah… That’s God… Water…?”
“I can’t believe it… That’s… That, energy…”
“…Tese… Le…?”
An ominous evil energy that can only be felt in a dungeon.
From the monsters they knew were divine beasts, the evil energy emanated so intensely that they couldn’t compare to dungeons.
An intense aura that grips the nerves of the lamp of fate to the point where you can’t even imagine why that divine beast is here.
Hedon, who felt the energy closest to him, shouted as if screaming.
“Do, run away!!! Everyone!!!”
A cry as if meeting an overwhelmingly fearsome being that couldn’t be compared to anything like a griffon.
Before the cry was over, the legs of a gigantic beast formed in the sky…
Heddon, who was wearing heavy armor, was trampled on as if bursting an insect.
Breaking the ground, spilling blood supposedly Heddon’s around the broken ground.
“Quaaaaa!!!”
“Heh, Hedon! Heddon!!!”
Two women screaming at the trampled Heddon.
When the legs of the beast that appeared disappeared in smoke, the heavy armor that appeared to be Hedon’s was on the collapsed ground…
Heddon’s corpse, now unrecognizable, appeared.
“…Do, do… Run away!! Everyone!!”
After checking his friend’s corpse, Lyle grabs Rami’s hand while shouting as Heddon had shouted.
Gurk and Kriesha, who saw Lyle rise, also turn pale and run out of the seat.
Regardless of the path they came from, each of them is in great fear and runs away looking only forward.
Looking at the weak and inferior beings who turned their backs on themselves like that…
The Demon King smiled happily.
