Chapter 181 – Cannibals (8)
“Red Sun.”
─Exactly!
The ogre who fell asleep with his eyes closed wheezed. You look like an angel who ate hundreds of fucking people. He instinctively nearly plucked the head.
Why are these bastards called monsters frantic because they can’t reveal their heart from the start? I stuck out my tongue and sat at the ogre cub’s bedside.
“Relax… Relax…”
─What is relaxation…
“I’m telling you to lose your strength.”
This is not a fucking sick bastard.
“Hmmm hmm. Now, Your Majesty… Your Majesty’s dream has come true… This is the kingdom you founded…”
-Kingdom… ? Oh oh… ! Is it the kingdom of Jim… !!
“That’s right… This is Your Majesty’s Utopia… I am the one called by Your Majesty to spread your exploits…”
─Is that so… What’s your name…
“It’s called Bogal…”
-Bogal… Listen to Jim’s work…
The ogre did pose as if he were sitting on a throne.
This kid is sick. You can’t say that you’re not sick because you’re smart. You learn a lot.
Anyway, that’s how the ogre started reciting his dog shit philosophy.
-I was chosen by fate… As the ruler of Oghess, who will establish a fallen civilization and drive out the inferior races from my territory… Jim has prepared a plan for a hundred years…
“As expected, you are sick… However, when Your Majesty was founded, there was no other ogre as wise as His Majesty… Is what I know right… ?”
First, I asked an important question. If this bastard was secretly working in various parts of Britannia, it would be a really fucking big deal.
Fortunately, the ogre’s answer was close to NO.
─Yes… Jim was the only one who kept reason intact in the bondage of the body… So I reclaimed his territory and gave wisdom to his subjects… That was the duty of the superior species who first regained wisdom…
You gave wisdom to subjects?
I exchanged glances with the party members. I thought I might have to dig into this a bit more.
“Your majesty… He said he gave wisdom… What do you mean… ?”
—Take it down as it is, Bogal… It’s enough for the little writer as long as he doesn’t forget Jim’s words…
“I’m sorry…”
The fucking professor’s slut is fucking with power even in her dreams. This bastard’s Labsil Kingdom seemed to be nothing more than a background setting for Gapjil.
As I gnashed my teeth, Veronica explained.
【My dear. Ask another question. Even in such a state, I will not say anything that is uncomfortable to reveal deeply in my heart.]
“Are you unconsciously avoiding it?”
【Unconscious?】
Veronica twists her head. Oh shit, there was no psychology in this world. I said nothing and activated the alcohol of the Pungdun hypnosis application again.
‘But fuck the kid. Now that I think about it, I’m suddenly mad.’
Why am I hypnotizing an ocher male who is 1 meter taller than me and not a woman?
It would be nice if Dana could be hypnotized into becoming Big Chi Chi with this. I was about to be attacked by Hyeonam if I was stubborn, but I endured it with superhuman patience.
“Your majesty… What did you do in the Forest of the Holy Beast… ?”
-Forest… Right… I found a way to offer food to the gods by stealing the power of the lesser races… The consciousness of the Wicker Man that I saw in the memories passed on by the seal…
“Wicker Man… What is… ?”
It’s a word I’ve never heard before, but I asked a question. Because it may be different from what I know.
Haha… If you’re also a subject of my kingdom, don’t you know… It is a ritual to gain strength by sacrificing inferior species… It was so much fun to tell the truth to the idiots who thought they were chosen…
“… It seems that they prepared a ritual of human sacrifice.”
Said Tyrsi as if giving goosebumps. I was the same.
To this man-eating monster, it must feel like we’re putting a pig’s head on a sacrifice table and there. However, as the representative of human supremacy, I harbored strong feelings of anger toward this bastard.
“With Wickerman’s ritual… What were you trying to do… ?”
—That’s none of your business…
What a waste. This, too, seems to have been a question with a huge rejection response.
‘Well, the plan of the bastard who has already gone backwards is none of my business.’
I exchanged questions with the party members and obtained information from the ogre. There were some questions that I refused sensitively, but there were many questions that I answered yes to.
What I found out was three things.
—My destiny began on the day I received the revelation from the Seal of the Seal…
This ogre was an ordinary monster, but he learned wisdom and runes after gaining ‘revelation’ or ‘memory’ from the seal.
—In an age when the gods still lived, this Britannia was the land of our Oghes…
That they had the stupid belief that since they were the former owners of Britannia, they had to take it back.
—If it was the hideout in the forest where Jim lay down during the days when he was making great plans…
About the place where the guild’s promotion examiner was hidden and about his death.
I played hypnotism for an hour and asked everything I could ask.
When the question was finished, Tirshi pointed to the Holy Tree and said.
“Something I learned from not answering. It must have been part of the plan to rule Britannia that this ogre rode a moving magic circle and tried to obtain Wickerman’s formula.”
“Yes. I guess I know roughly. It seems that he was trying to gain strength and make his subordinates into monsters with intelligence like himself, and even wage a war of aggression.”
I shuddered and answered.
Considering that the ogre army was moving with a tactical strategy, it was a bit frightening.
Like dragons, there are many monsters who know how to handle mana from birth, but ogres were like that too. Except for the fact that these cubs had a small amount of mana, they were natural mana users.
What if those ogres were to receive mana from the seal and launch the ultimate battle, the siege?
Even an army armed with fucking modern science wouldn’t be able to handle that. Tanks or missiles should go.
【It’s good to know that you did a good job suppressing it early. But there are things I don’t understand.]
Dig-! After saying that, Veronica transformed back into human form.
To be honest, I thought it was a bit crazy for her to keep going back and forth between horses and gods, but she decided not to criticize me because it was a matter of circumstances.
Veronica got the seal from me and did some research.
【My dear. Do you know what this ogre means by the memory of the seal? I can’t feel any special runes or mana from this seal.]
“That is me too. This is just my opinion, but perhaps this bastard gained some knowledge from the Seal of the Seal?”
“I think so. If this ogre is an ordinary monster that only found the seal, then it would be inexplicable to know Britannia and to handle rune magic so well.”
“Yes. That’s what I mean.”
I agreed with Tyrsi’s replenishment.
If this pup had been an Ogre A with increased intelligence, she wouldn’t have suffered so much. This division was born because he used rune magic and even possessed the seal, a relic of an ancient civilization.
‘Perhaps there is something magical about the seal.’
There’s no evidence, though. I said while holding the seal that Veronica had returned.
“Tirshi. I suddenly feel uneasy holding this. What if I get weird hair like him?”
“How about taking it to the wizard guild and asking for a test? You can ask Cromwell. The Seal of Mana, which stores mana, is not a great feature that would make a Sorcerer greedy.”
“That is wise. I will have to do that.”
I clapped my hands and wrote down what I was going to do when I went home.
If there was some kind of weird brainwashing curse hanging here, it would be fucking fucked. To my wives I am inferior females! It was to prevent this damn future.
At that time, Veronica, in the form of a god, spoke timidly.
【Looks like you’re done now. Isn’t it time to give him eternal rest? It’s a soul, but if you think that the ego of such an evil seed remains, it’s very ominous.]
“Do not worry. Because I was going to do it anyway.”
I said. Originally, I should have taken the last hit, but in anticipation of this situation, I yielded the finale to their ice storm.
It’s a bad thing if an ogre in a soul state loses the last hit.
【Ah. If it’s your weapon, the Spear of God’s Grace, it’ll be simple.]
“Uh? No. You don’t even have to go to the window.”
【Well? What did that mean?】
“I know when I see… It’s not It was only visible to me.”
I shrugged and stepped on the ogre’s chest. ─Fuhuaaaaa!! The ogre’s soul didn’t even wake up, and it exploded and disappeared.
“End.”
It was a fucking futile ending for Paedo, who tried to become a king.
I think it’s all causal retribution, but that’s it.
【Under?】
Her eyes widened, Veronica looked at the spot where the ogre had been. Even if it did, she wouldn’t be able to see it in her eyes.
【It’s over, you mean already? In my eyes, I could only see you stepping out——]
Veronica, who was expressing such a question, was suddenly attacked by a bigger surprise.
Perhaps because she was her rune master, she felt inspired by the mana of the runes that gushed out from the ogre she had been searching for, but I, who should not have been surprised, was also surprised along with Veronica.
Why?
This is because the absorption was much higher than expected.
The ogre’s yellow mana hit me like a jet of 〈 Cloud Summoning 〉!
Fuck!! It doesn’t fit that big!!
“Gyaaaaa!!!”
I felt dizzy. The legs danced automatic poppins. It was a basic symptom of mana poisoning.
The highest mana absorption ever! Thanks to that, I had to struggle for over a minute like an Iljin being hit with fire extinguishers by the Chinta Alliance. Tyrsi hurriedly raised the wand.
“Oh, is that an attack from an ogre spirit?! Where are you?!”
“No… Just a little cheated… Whoops…”
I gave the sign of I’m Fine Thank You to Tyrsi and checked the rune’s mana. Fortunately, I was able to withstand the rumbling in my stomach. If I had sat up here, it would have been really ugly.
─Whiriririk!
Rune’s mana ran rampant in my body.
I was adopting the image of measuring the mana of the rune with the feeling of a golem roughly like an experience bar, but it felt like it was almost 3 times full.
Isn’t it honey?
Bitch is right It’s a damn good thing, but this is cancer, but it seemed a little overeating.
“──Uweek.”
I vomited as if I had morning sickness.
They say that if you take a person who has been starving for months to a buffet, they will die from not feeling well while eating, but it felt similar to that. It was way over my tolerance.
Tirsi, who was watching nervously, supported my shoulders.
“Nord. If you feel tired, you can throw up. I don’t care about that at all.”
“No… It’s just a little dizzy…”
“It’s okay, right? Your complexion is not good.”
Tyrsi stroked my back. It wasn’t that fucking serious, but for some reason I was in tears. When you are sick, if someone else cares for you, isn’t it the way your tear ducts get weaker?
“Dahhh…”
After squeezing the juice for a while, I suddenly remembered the function of the Seal of the Seal and put the rune’s mana into it.
─Shu oh oh oh.
As the seal absorbed mana, the symptoms of mana poisoning improved.
I didn’t think of an application method because I just got it, but I guess I can use it like this. Now, there may be no more or less trouble with mana.
I let my hands off Tirshi’s shoulders and stood up.
“Thank you, Tyrsi. It’s fine now.”
“Really? You weren’t hurt in the fight, were you?”
“Yeah. I am fine.”
“… That’s fortunate.”
– Tuk-tuk. When he beat his chest to appeal to him for being healthy, Tyrsi seemed a little relieved. Is it because he is from a noble family? A faint, humble smile suited this man very well.
“I’ve seen everything I need to do, I’ll just retrieve the examiner’s belongings and return. Veronica? About that rune stone or something, let’s talk about it again before we head back to Sargadis tomorrow.”
I said that to Veronica, who was staring blankly at me for some reason.
【… Let’s do that.]
Veronica nailed her eyes to me and nodded her head.
──For reference.
It wasn’t long before I found out the meaning of this guy’s expression.
