Chapter 732 – The Sun Covers the Sky (7)
***
—You are a Tlanicticter. They’re going there.
Istetil said while running and chasing all day.
We didn’t have horses to ride, and even if we did, we couldn’t be faster than us, so we had to run as if we were doing a round-the-country marathon.
Even among us, the weakest Skolakiche didn’t make a weak sound, and I, who was running ahead of the telepathy I heard, looked behind the plain.
─Tlanictictor? What else are you doing there?
—A city-state that obeyed Azteca. It means the village under the mountain.
-It’s a city-state. It sounds like you are in a small town.
─Medium supply.
Nefertiti talking while wiping sweat. No matter how mithril class she was, she couldn’t help but sweat after running at full speed all day.
That’s a problem before fitness.
Even if the nuclear fusion reactor is a better raw material than gasoline, would 300km/h be the same as 60km/h? Even if you have 100 times more physical strength than others, if you run 200 times faster, you will eventually run out.
The only ones holding out here are Kiara, the master class, and me, who have a lot of fucking stamina due to the side effects of Beast Return. That Kiara muttered without breaking a drop of sweat.
─There is no reason to rush. You’re improving after hitting Scolaco. Let us also pause for a moment.
—If it were us, we could still run.
─I found a clue in front of me.
Istetil didn’t talk anymore.
Chow-! Stopped, we quenched Kiara while she looked at the clues.
【Huh, huh… 】
Most of the Skolakiche, who were not of the Mithril class, were covered in sweat and gasping for breath.
But the eyes are still intense. Nefertiti was looking at them as if they were complicated. Her feelings burning with her revenge are not left to her either.
“How is it?”
“It was the right choice for me to follow you this far. There is a gap of more than half a day in the footprints left on the ground. There is someone who belatedly chased after the enemy who left one step earlier.”
“Are they the ones who saw us and ran away?”
It was fucking cold. I’m not saying I would have been screwed if I hadn’t followed you.
“If you calculate the speed of movement from distance and time… “
Kiara, who was touching the soil, rubbed his fingers.
“Looks like we’ll see the scout we missed in the next hour or two.”
“Eliminated before joining?”
“Let’s do that.”
I sympathize with Nefertiti without hesitation.
“If you look at the order of distance, the enemy main force – the enemy skirmisher – us. If we catch those who escaped from Scolaco before we join them, we can surprise the main unit.”
“If you capture it alive, that would be the best.”
When I told her our conclusion, Istetil gnashed her teeth in displeasure.
【It’s not bad. Do that.]
【Your expression doesn’t say that at all, does it? If you grind your teeth like that, you will get old and get a toothache.]
【I’m in a bad mood because they must have volunteered to get caught. It looks like you can open your eyes and let go of an enemy that would not be enough to chew on, but will you laugh?]
【It’s a pity that you can’t catch it alive, but why do you think you’ll miss it?】
She frowns her eyes. Smiling at her pick, I pointed to her bundle that she slung on her back.
【You can also lock their souls in that jewel.】
【… That’s good. Although it’s unpleasant to bring them into the cradle of our ancestors.]
【Would you be happy if it were me? It’s like a punching bag that can be beaten to death came in at my feet, right?]
【Damn. I’m starting to like you more and more.]
You’re fucking bloody because you’re laughing with your fangs exposed. I’m going to pass it because I don’t want to get hit by the PCists for turning a homosexual into a heterosexual.
Istetil quietly stamped her feet and said.
【Kill the scout and infiltrate the Tlanicticter to deal with the enemy main force in the city.】
[Is that okay? I’m not the only one to worry about.]
I don’t want to increase the enemy, so I’m chasing it, but let’s fight in the middle of the enemy colony?
Hiding the face is possible somehow, but what if there are more enemies?
【There are no warriors in a city-state that obeys. There are not many citizens, so there is a lot of space. And, crucially, if it is those guys, there is no way they won’t go through a human sacrifice ceremony on the way to improvement.]
【Well. Well, there’s no way to surprise them on these plains. It’s also a matter of clumsily attacking and then chasing after the remnants scatter.]
Anyone who has been to an old countryside or a military training center will have experienced seeing the bugs gathered together disappear.
It is difficult even for humans with a big difference in size to kill all the baby bugs that are scattered in all directions. But do you catch all the cannibals who cannibalism with Junggu heating?
It’s very likely to fail. The dragon that ate the rice cake is not the only moderator fraudulent map.
Chow-!
Istetil said as she splashed water on his head, which had been overheated from his long run.
【There is a plan that I just came up with. Can you hear it?]
***
【Is it such a tough demand to bring in innocent girls!】
─Puck! A skinny middle-aged man kicked a prostrate man.
The young man who had been hit in the stomach fell and groaned, then wiped his spittle and hit his head on the ground.
【That, but the elder Zuzuteku. There are really only a handful of women left untouched by warriors or elders. She’s only kids under 10 years of age!】
【Isn’t the emperor showing mercy to you guys to solve that! Gather even the little girls! If the amount is insufficient, make up for it with twice the usual amount!]
【Old people!! Please!!】
【You just have to have another child! Do you know what would happen to the country if there were no warriors and even a virgin virgin could not be offered! Even if you can’t, bring the kids by today!]
The middle-aged man who shouted in a fit of spirit hit the young man again and entered his house. Then, when he saw that the inside of the house was dark, he waddled with arrogance.
【Damn it. Coliani! Where is this bitch and what is she doing! Even the housework was not enough because the girl I would beat to death couldn’t move her back properly in bed──]
The middle-aged man’s mouth closed.
It was because the moment I opened the door, walking confidently through the dark house, I found a girl trembling with her eyes closed, a man tied up next to her, and us, the intruders.
I sighed as I sat on the bed and chewed my fruit.
[Supplying sacrifices to minions in Azteca, sexual assault and confinement towards minors. He’s a fucking guy who is easy to understand.]
【What! What are these guys doing? !】
The minion, who was about to scream, grabbed his neck. This is because Nefertiti, who was standing at the top of the door, wrapped her neck with a whip and pulled. The minion’s body trembled.
“Nefertiti. You can’t kill me.”
“… Efforts are being made to control power.”
“Are you mad?”
As I twisted his head, Nefertiti savagely half-opened his eyes.
“… That girl, about the same age as Brunak.”
“What… In terms of appearance.”
Wasn’t it bad that that bastard was a pedophile?
To think that Nefertiti, a 20-something, feels motherhood against a 10-year-old-looking Brunak. Besides, being a metal spirit, Brunak is probably older than me.
After awakening to my ego, I would have been less than a year old.
【Anyway, our Azteca front jab friend. Even if we are new to each other, do you know this person?]
I stopped thinking and pointed at Istetil. The minion’s eyes widened.
【S, Scolaco’s… !】
【You knew that the assholes of Azteca were coming back. In other words, it means that you shamelessly cooperated and let them go, knowing that they were marching into our city.]
Istetil’s voice, which was cold and cold, even felt the cold. It was to the extent that the eyes of the middle-aged puppeteer, wrapped around his whip and barely standing on his toes, had an earthquake in his pupils.
【Even city-states that obey Azteca have different ways to survive.】
─Tup! Istetil grabbed his chin.
[And I hate those who, like you, work together with them and use the land of their hometown as a ‘sacrificial store’. There are more people who protect and escort while acting as a minion.]
A few hours ago.
After hearing her story, we slayed several of the scattered ones as scouts.
‘Rather than killing him, he committed suicide because it was scary to catch up with him.’
The belief of the Aztecs that they would return to the arms of Tonashillucatl upon death made them not afraid to commit suicide. In the end, I had no time to interrogate the souls, and I had to lock them all in a jewel.
So we had to come this far without any information.
Not a bad thing. I don’t know if I caught all the skirmishes, so I had to get rid of the enemy main body anyway. This is the base preparation.
‘Elderly’.
This skinny middle-aged man is the puppet of the ruling class of Azteca to facilitate the rule of the city-state. It seems that the methods of colonization were all monotonous.
【Flaw. Hehe.]
The puppet, an ordinary human being, began to split apart while hanging by the neck.
【As expected, looking at it up close, she is beautiful, Istetil. How are you? If you’re going to be my woman, I won’t be able to tell the people of the Empire well–]
─Kwajik!!
The cost of provocation was high. The minion’s thigh was hollowed out in the shape of Istitel’s fist.
A one-point punch that breaks bones and crushes muscles.
Mithril class fists crushed the middle-aged man’s legs like rotten meat.
【Huh… !!】
Surprisingly, the minion held back the screams. Istetil, holding his chin, drove her nails into his cheek.
After receiving the dragon’s blood, his pupils widened.
【It’s hard for me to keep my sanity right now. If those guys aren’t watching, they’ll rip your heart out without a second thought. Do you understand me?]
【Heh, hehe… I wondered why he was alive and not dead at the hands of the soldiers, but he must have gone out to the outside world? Bringing in an outsider It doesn’t even have an egg.]
The skinny middle-aged man forgot his dangling legs and made a sarcastic remark because his left leg was longer than his left leg.
There is such a thing. Being a pawn is something you can’t do without ability.
But aside from mental strength to endure pain, necrosis of cells and muscles is fatal. If it wasn’t fixed properly, even with that one, it would end up with complications.
– Knock, Knock. Dirty blood ran down Istetil’s fingernails.
【Aren’t you afraid of death? Did even your faith obey them?]
【You don’t know. What kind of rest is following the sun covering the sky?]
Breaking into a cold sweat from the pain in his legs, the minion laughed hysterically.
【Well, the underworld is no longer a land of rest. Ever since the gods of the continent came to an end, the other world is just a slaughterhouse for death after death.]
【You’re talking nonsense because you’re running out of excuses.】
[Believe it or not, do whatever you want. If you and I die, we will fall into the cold underworld.]
A minion who keeps his mouth shut as if he has nothing more to say.
Me and Nefertiti inadvertently met eyes.
-About the underworld?
─I guess so.
But how does this asshole know that?
Niflheim, where the gods of the underworld disappear and the frost giants begin.
It is a post-death world where the gods, who once used to come and go everywhere in the afterlife, took the souls and judged the sins and good deeds committed on earth.
However, after Ragnarok, even those who lost their manager and luckily flowed into the underworld with their souls intact were in a position to be eaten by giants in the bitter cold.
Either completely disappear from the ground, or die in the cold hell without being able to die.
It’s literally a ghost road with no salvation.
It is the truth hidden in the afterlife of another world.
‘But it wouldn’t do any good to find out, and there aren’t many people who would know about this?’
Truly, the truth known only to those who know the truth of Ragnarok, who went to the other world like me and came back, or who have lived a similar period of time.
Did the 10-year-old Anna find out on her own? It’s bullshit.
Then it’s obvious someone told me
‘… Tonashillucatl.’
Wooshin, who calls herself the mother of those dragons.
【Kuh, keuh uhh. If you want to kill me, kill me. I will return to her mother’s arms, and rest her eternal soul in her arms.]
Whatever the reason, he was not afraid of heaven or hell after death.
Istetil, whose eyes were cold, pulled his hand.
【Good night. Any more persuasion would be a waste of time. I will ask you directly if that faith is more dignified than the torture you devised.]
【Mr. Istetil. It’s a waste of time.]
I try to put her hand on her shoulder and hold back.
-Durook. Istetil’s eyes rolled. Whoa. Can someone chew on me
【You’re not the kind of person to stop me here either. Is there a better torture method?]
【There is and talk. Not torture, but referee.]
Telepathic fire so the minions can’t hear it.
─It flinched. Slightly surprised, Istetil placed the gem in my hand without hesitation.
【Good night. Trust you We ate the same fruit.]
【What metaphor is that again?】
【It means community of destiny.】
You are grand. I shrugged and brought the man I had captured alive in front of the minions.
This bastard was also an “Elderly man” In the city.
“Nefertiti. Take the child out.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, I’ll do it.”
Intercepting my request, Kiara took the girl who was a housekeeper and slave.
The minion smiled and winked at Istetil.
【You’re trying to win the girl’s favor. Women are governed with fists and sheep.]
[There are many differences of opinion with me. More than anything, I’m not interested in that lady.]
I hold the minion I brought in front of him and activate the spell. He raised the ice mana.
【Vaporization freezing method.】
─Bad! The body of the young minion froze from the neck down. When I exerted my strength, the red flesh poured onto the floor like frozen meat. The minion was in a cool way.
【Isn’t it a clean death when torture isn’t enough?】
【Don’t say that. This torture is real after death.]
【… After death?]
The frontman was taken aback. I couldn’t tell if it was because of my words or because of the crimson wisps creeping up from among the shards of ice.
【You said you wished for rest after death. As expected, the structure of returning to Wooshin’s side was embedded in your souls. You talked too much.]
Woo woo woo woo…
─Peeing!!
The ogre’s fire stopped in the air as if it had been pulled by something. The struggling light was drawn into the divine dragon jewel I was holding. The gem shimmered brightly.
【Asasuma’s soul was sucked in?】
The minion, who believed only in rest after death and was unafraid of torture, was terrified.
【What did you do? Damn you son of a bitch!! What did you do!!]
【I’m angry. You shouldn’t have been angry because of friendship, are you afraid to end up like this?]
【Aaaaa!! I-get it away!!]
He held out the jewel to the bastard. The asshole screamed as if he had lit a bonfire.
【This jewel is a prison that confines the soul. It is a relic of a very old era. Once in, I want to release it, but I don’t know how to release it. And the soul trapped inside, as you can see, becomes like this.]
Waving… A magical light shimmered inside the jewel.
─Go oh oh… Oh oh oh…
A skull-shaped gourd-like gas rose from the jewel and then sank. As if a captured soul were groaning in agony.
The minion’s eyes were finally full of fear.
【Go, prison? A prison that confines the soul?]
【Can’t you believe it? Then I don’t know how you got faith.]
【Why are you doing this to me!! What, what do you want? Money? Female?】
【I want you to help us a little. I’m going to annihilate the elite assholes who come here.]
A minion whose eyeballs are about to pop out. I raised my finger and opened the mana shield. Just in case, as expected, an asshole who spits out saliva and goes crazy.
【Fuck it! If I do that, I will never be able to return to my mother’s arms!]
【However, it may be destroyed. You could end up in this prison.]
A rune was carved into the minion’s heart. Even if you don’t know what it is, you will know that mana dwells in it. The movement of the asshole clinging to the whip became more docile.
【Choose and see. Will you be imprisoned in eternal hell, or will you help us and perish normally?]
There is a proposition common to both persuasion and intimidation.
What title? It means you shouldn’t give the other person a choice.
Even local marts force you to buy 5 packs of ramen pretending to give you a choice, such as 800 won for ramen or 3,000 won for 5 sticks.
The minion said with a despairing expression.
【Really, you’re making a promise, right?】
【The kid behind her mother keeps getting a longer tongue. Do you have conditions?]
When my voice became harsh, he closed his mouth and shouted quickly.
【Hey! Oh, i’ll help! I will help with anything, so please!!]
【Great. Get ready. Starting with the sacrificial ceremony, there are many stories to hear.]
─Thumb! When Nefertiti released his whip, he tapped his buttock and stroked his own breast. He was going to touch the inscribed runes, but he wouldn’t dare to resist.
Isn’t it the law that the more clumsy people are, the more imaginative they are?
“Nord. What did you do?”
Nefertiti asked while shortening her whip.
I laughed lightly.
“Gonggalppang.”
Of course, there is no such thing as pain from being locked up in a jewel. It’s an object that the Skolakiche made to find rest, but is it reasonable that it causes pain?
The soul you just absorbed? It’s a fake made from
But isn’t faith supposed to be more important than truth?
