Chapter 452 – Eugenics in the New World (19)
I asked Veronica to fly by
Conand’s left body has turned into an orc that has been showered with green juice. The traces of battle and the wounds of our wives.
There was only one conclusion to be drawn here.
“You motherfucking troll bastard… You’ve revealed your true identity!”
After all, Conand was a troll like Benjamin!
As a troll trained until his death, he maintained a human-like wake, but Conand’s return to his home base seemed to have relieved his mind, and the polymorph was about half lifted.
I shook my head and sighed that my prediction was right.
“… Blocked the magic I used? How?”
Conand murmured as if he had forgotten the pain. Did you just call it magic? I smiled.
“Did you enjoy writing it? I hope you did.”
“… What?”
“What is it, Nigimi half-troll bastard? The magic you used didn’t fucking work on me. So at least I hope it was fun for your kid while writing it. I dont understand?”
“… This dog is !! “
It seems understood. Conand glared at the sight of the Alien Queen trying to jump out of his shoulder and then turning around.
─Wet love liquid!!
Encouraged by anger, the guy who stood up awkwardly fired his magic. Some ice picks flew into a thick mass.
However, looking at it again, it’s fucking clumsy magic.
Is it such a shitty magic that my mother-in-law made or inherited magic that was made by replacing it with a dick?
‘No, I wonder if that’s the case.’
Ulster rarely writes letters. That’s why most of the magic will be handed down orally, and the weight of sensory explanations will be large.
It seems that he interpreted the magic he learned from his mother-in-law in his own way in order to teach the Magimagi’s hukou, and sublimated it into a magic spell optimized for the half-controller body, but–
Maybe that’s why, it was a very low-level spell.
“Wow, what is this?”
I saw through the gap in the spell and transformed into mana and stabbed it. Then, as if a tire from a running car was about to come out in search of freedom, the technique was smashed, and the ice pick turned into a snowball.
– Empty! The snowball hit my chest and crumbled in vain.
It was because the spell that changed mana into magical attack power collapsed.
This was not an easy task even for me, who had been accustomed to using Odin’s Eye and combining and analyzing magical techniques. It was a skill that was close to impossible with the naked eye.
In other words, Conand’s technique was simple enough to do so without turning Odin’s eyes on.
“… How!! How can you stop my magic!! The speed and power are incomparable to before!”
Was it because he was proud of his magic skills? Conand’s face seemed to crack and crack as he set up a vein in his neck that had been invaded by his flesh. I didn’t feel sorry for him at all, but I deliberately said it as if I felt sorry for him.
“The formula has many advantages, but it is unbalanced. I would recommend that you study more books.”
“Shut up!! Shut up!! For a wizard like me who has reached a great level, the outdated frame is meaningless!!!”
“I don’t think the boss is that kind of monster.”
“I told you to shut up!!!”
Do-do-do-do-do-!!
I dismantled all the flying magic one by one, shaking my mouth to be ashamed of it. Even if the thunderbolt of fire, the blade of water, or the awl of wind touched it, it returned to harmless mana.
Originally, a person who knows poorly is more lame than a person who does not know anything.
‘He’s like a third-rate Twitter painter or a director with masterpiece disease.’
Of course, lack of skill is not wrong. It’s a problem that might be overlooked.
But these bastards forget their inadequacies and fuck others. It was necessary to instill humility yourself.
… Pop.
The pouring magic baptism stopped.
I didn’t know if it was because Conand’s mana was flowing or because Dana had perfected the sword of light.
“Quaaaaa!!!”
One thing is for sure, Conand, who witnessed the sword, opened his shield with a scream.
It was a thick shield. Besides, it was pure Pict’s copying magic, without any improvement, so I couldn’t dismantle it blindly.
It would be possible to destroy it if mana was not spared, but spending more mana on this asshole was out of the question.
“You idiots!! You made a mistake!! If you wanted to live, you shouldn’t have been tied down by me, but you should have gone down to the basement as soon as possible and stopped the troll shaman’s ritual!!”
Is it to get us out of here? Conand roared as if vomiting blood.
Fran and her mother-in-law bypassed the bedrock and came to our side. I watched Conand’s struggles and opened his mouth.
“… Come to think of it, there is something I put off talking about.”
As if noticing that he was talking to her, the mother-in-law, who had been looking at the student from the past with a mixed look, turned her head. There was a look in those eyes that seemed to have foreseen this ending to some extent.
Maybe my mother-in-law didn’t realize Conand’s true nature at all. I turned off the fire of the blood mage and said.
“The truth is. Even after Dana ran away, she stayed in Alwyn for over two years. I want my mother-in-law to come visit me.”
As I looked at her Dana, she slipped away from her eyes.
I didn’t say it in words, but me and our eyes are heart-to-heart. The reason for the action is not so lacking in understanding that one cannot imagine it.
That is the only reason Dana, who ran away from home for an immature reason of being curious about the outside world, stayed in Alwyn for over two years.
“… Dana? You were in Alwyn?”
“Yeah. Of course, even after he left Alwyn, he sent letters every year to the Picts to see how he was doing. However, after hearing the story, it seems that the mother-in-law has been looking for news about Dana, but has not even received a letter from the village.”
Dana didn’t know that her mother-in-law had been looking for her, so she held her breath. Her mother and daughter’s eyes turned to the green monster lurking within her shield.
This smart mother and daughter Even if I didn’t have to finish my words, I would have come to a conclusion.
“It was after I came out of the conference room. She told me straight up what she meant to make me angry. Well, actually, the two of you would know just by talking for a while. Who could separate mother-in-law and Dana in the middle, and who benefited the most from that?”
Conand couldn’t make any excuses and his complexion turned blue. Even the ugly troll’s face could see the blood moving.
“… Under. Yes. I mean it was.”
Her mother-in-law’s eyes grew cold and the corners of her eyes rose. When she changed from the way she tried to protect the dignity of the priest, her face really resembled our Dana.
“I know. I thought she was an asshole, but I didn’t expect her to be like this.”
Dana growled as well, squinting at her eyes. The sword of light floating in the sky shone fiercely as if it symbolized her anger.
“What I said earlier why she came so late is a cancellation. It was fucking good timing. Didn’t she almost kill her normally?”
“Huh uh uh uh… !!”
Exposed to the wrath of her mother and daughter, who resembled her twins, Conand was blocked by her shield, which he had spread, stifled her and trembled in her terror.
From the swollen boil, I could roughly imagine what effect that light sword would have.
Dana hesitated for a moment, then she held out her hand to her mother-in-law.
“… Chief Priest. I am terribly tired. Give me some strength.”
“Can I send mana to this stone?”
“Yes. Just do it. I will write the end.”
Even if you look like that, you are a kid who was once a disciple. Her mother-in-law bit her lip at her Dana’s consideration, then grinned as she placed her hand on her seal.
“Great. Instead, if you promise to call me mother again.”
“… Damn. I have a bit of a sense of who I look like.”
Dana smiled and drew her mother-in-law’s mana from her scepter and further enlarged her light sword.
And, as it were, I put it down on Conand.
─Puck.
It was a short, thick penetrating sound.
The blade of light, which cut through her shield that blocked her mana like tofu, hit Conand’s head and burst into brilliance.
“Kuaaaaa”
Pooh-!!
The light covered his eyes and swallowed even Conand’s dying words.
When the light went away after a while, there was only a piece of green flesh integrated into the bedrock like a zerg building.
Not a single human or troll body part remained. The cells were mixed and polluted so that they were neither living nor dead. I stuck out my tongue.
“Cancer cell blades are fucking scary.”
If the flesh was mixed like that, the brain cells wouldn’t have left their original form.
That meant that if someone could restore that bastard to its original form or harvest its soul, it would only leave it alive in a brainless vegetative state. In a sense, it was a more terrible punishment than death.
Conand paid the price for 20 years of evil.
“Repent like that until you look back. If you can get behind it.”
─Two. Dana spat on her bedrock and cut her throat with her fingers. Her mother-in-law frowned at her a little.
“… Yes. She kept going, how did my daughter’s mouth get so rough?”
Really come now? It was what I wanted to say. She tried to let go of her hand, but her mother-in-law didn’t let go, so she wriggled her lips in embarrassment.
“… If this is rough, you’ll faint when you see your son-in-law talking. Why? Does she feel weird because her doppelgänger is swearing at her?”
“Oh? Your nose looks like your dad My breasts are bigger than yours.”
“That’s because you gave birth wrong! Do you know how bitter I feel about the size of those goddamn boobs?!”
“It’s because I’ve lived without my mother since I was little. My chest is the same as when I was 10 years old. If you grew up under me, you wouldn’t have grown up like that.”
Frank and I listened to her conversation and nodded her head.
It was exactly what my sister had said. Compared to the grown-up father-in-law, it was quite obvious which gene Dana’s talent for words was attributable to. Dana shuddered at her fresh red face.
“Mr. Lee… I really hate you.”
“Whoops. I love my daughter?”
─Pook.
Mother-in-law hugged Dana. Dana struggled with her shyness and awkwardness, but when she noticed that she couldn’t stand her strength, she silently buried her face in her mother’s shoulder.
After such a moment of touching sight, we sat down on a nearby undamaged rock – fragments of a collapsed wall.
“Dana, Fran. Do you need a potion?”
“Yes. Both healing wounds and mana potions.”
I took the potions from the slate and distributed them. Having an inventory is so fucking convenient. What would have happened if it wasn’t for the potion purchased with ignorance? I didn’t even want to imagine it.
I hope wives don’t overuse potions, but the situation wasn’t good enough to hope for such a thing.
Fran looked at her floor as she returned her coat to Dana.
“Even after all this fuss, no one seems to be coming up.”
“Good. Aside from the small number of people, my husband said there would be a king and a shaman here?”
Dana was drinking the red potion, she said.
“The king and the wizard. It’s such an obvious combination. Aren’t all the evil bitches in old legends like that?”
“Daughter. Speech.”
“Oh Mr. It’s okay, and Mom drinks some potions too.”
Fran and I briefly laughed at the gag scene between parents and children that didn’t fit the situation.
I put my mouth on the mana potion for a while, then opened my mouth feeling worse.
“He must be doing an awakening ceremony down here. The three of you take care of the troll shaman pups. I will fight King.”
“Will Nord be okay alone?”
“I guess I’ll have to try it, but I’ll figure it out somehow.”
We went down to the basement, freed from the agony and exhaustion with medicine.
He knew the terrain because he had seen the memory of the furry troll. I didn’t even know where the troll king was, but that didn’t really matter. After going down several floors, a large door appeared.
And in front of him, a skinny troll shaman like an old tree turned his lower body into fog and floated like a ghost.
[Gear has come this far. The reckless commandos of the inferior species.]
[… There’s nothing to be reckless about? All the soldiers were recruited, and the only ones to protect this place were you and the idiots you kidnapped, weren’t they?]
When I, who has a light mouth, didn’t say anything, Dana said. After realizing that Odin was opening his eyes and reading mana, he took his place. Because Fran couldn’t speak Ulster.
‘There are no traps.’
There was no artificial mana either here or behind that door.
Only one thing, I could feel the Troll King’s mana. The troll shaman pup pointed a finger at me.
[The King wants a conversation with you. If you’re going to pass through this door, I’ll send at least one of you.]
[… Oh yeah? It’s the first time I’ve ever been invited by a king.]
Odin closed his eyes and said.
I was very sorry to offer my audience, Ada, to a troll, but that offer wasn’t bad.
The sea you wished for if there were no traps. The situation where the troll king did not target the party members in the rear was the confrontation I wanted.
‘I left the seal to Dana. Anyway, I’m in a state where I can’t recover mana. Right now, that’s the best.’
What has been agreed upon. We have no choice but to trust each other.
[I will be back.]
I walked forward without looking back at my wives. We’ll be able to meet again in a little while anyway, so why are we talking? The troll shaman wriggled his eyes, but wordlessly flew off and out of the door.
Koo Goo Goo Goo… !!
I pushed the stone door open.
It was so fucking heavy that I even heard mana. Treating guests with no manners. Even if it’s not an automatic door, shouldn’t it be enough to open it? Fucking trolls.
I don’t know when the day will come when I have enough mana and don’t frown.
It seems to be 5 times more than when I was a kid, but I still feel like I’m not enough. Life is truly a mess.
[… You’re here. I heard the commotion and thought it was you.]
Inside was a stone chamber with a huge statue of a warrior. A stone statue of a human warrior. It was a naked man, and the thickly shaved cock pillar was split in the middle with a Parkin, so I couldn’t even see how it went.
The troll king stood beneath the warrior statue in what seemed to be a mixture of armor and priestly clothing. It doesn’t feel like a familiar fantasy paladin in the Romanian style. Rather, it felt like a ‘druid’.
[It wasn’t me who fought. My wives and mother-in-law.]
[It’s nothing different. It must be your fault for finding out about this place and getting out of the traps and alarms at the entrance.]
Quickly, the troll king stopped putting his palms together and turned away from the altar.
A weapon could be seen behind the pup’s flank. It was a pitch-black greatsword, not made of metallic material, but the blade stood in a blue color. It is a weapon with sharpness that cannot be compared to that of steel. It seemed to be a relic of the Winglings.
Troll King said calmly.
[Would you like to talk to me for a second? There must be something you want to ask each other. It will be difficult to ask openly if you compete with spears and knives.]
[That’s an interesting suggestion. If our wives weren’t fighting, they would have accepted it.]
[No problem. This run-down hideout has annoyingly poor soundproofing. If your female makes a fuss, you can hear it.]
He certainly did, let’s listen. I could hear the sound of people on the other side of the door.
[Then it’s done. Are there any chairs? The car won’t come. I’m not in the mood to drink the troll’s hobby.]
[There are three things I want to ask you.]
Chews chew openly. I listened quietly while frowning.
[The human brought by Teltzz… Conand said. It’s been about half a year since you’ve been serving the inferiors in this Britannia.]
[Are you talking about adventurers? What is that.]
When I asked back, the troll king asked with a calm expression, devoid of monster-like ferocity.
[Where did you get the beast return spell? And, how long have you been using it?]
[I picked it up from a ruin near my house, and spent about half a year. There was nothing wrong with the body. As you can see.]
As if he had read the true intentions in my answer, the troll king shut his big mouth firmly.
[… At first, I thought it was just getting Beast Return. I mean, you’re using cursed primordial sorcery without knowing anything. That was until I heard from Conand.]
The troll king looked up at the warrior statue several times his size, then looked back at me.
Even the dizziness in his young eyes subsided silently.
[Ask you too. Believe it or not, you need to be sure.]
[… Well, that’s right.]
I exhaled white breath into the cold stone chamber and asked.
[──You guys are from Ulster, right?]
─Talk. Drops of water from the ceiling landed on my toes.
It was only after I let the words out of my mouth that I noticed that my voice was louder than I thought. But horrifyingly, there was no echo at all in the stone chamber, which was completely blocked on all sides.
As if this space didn’t understand the meaning of the question I spit out, so I couldn’t even repeat it.
[… Right in a big sense, wrong in a small category.]
The troll king replied like a priest reading a skirmish.
[Hobgoblins, ogres, trolls– Several types of creatures called monsters in modern times have similar but distinctly different ancestors as their roots. My ancestor’s hometown must be Quartgonia.]
[After it turned into a monster, it flowed into Britannia?]
[The order is slightly different. Looking at the records, it seems that they started to become monsters after coming to this land.]
The Troll King pointed a thick finger at the chest of the Ulsterian warrior.
There was a short text written on it.
──’Pray to the Sky God (yáǵeswō deiwōm dyēus)’.
[I will pay tribute to your wisdom. An inferior warrior.]
The king of the ruined country, who handles the return of the beast, applauded as if in admiration.
[Yes, as expected. We, the descendents of Huldfolk——are the words of the old Erins, who were turned into monsters by the curse of beast return.]
