Chapter 241 – Chapter 59. The Secret Base.
The warrior team supported the broken warriors and their teammates in a mess. Most of them were frostbitten, and in many cases, decay was already in progress. Because of that, Goblin Lady, Healer Grug, had a hard time pouring her heels to the limit.
In fact, the problem was not malnutrition or frostbite, but a body that had already been tainted with drugs. No matter how versatile a heal was, it couldn’t restore a body that had been poisoned with drugs for a long time. If that was possible, they wouldn’t even designate drugs as banned substances at all.
After taking all the warriors and their men, Ji-hyeok’s team searched the basement again. The hero found some devil cultists hiding in a secret space. The sacrificed ones were all thugs, and the living ones were all high-ranking officials in the Demon Church.
Jihyeok interrogated them and first retrieved the Aitara seeds, and then burned all the Aitaras that were being cultivated with fire magic. This put an end to the theft case, but the case itself was not completely over. Technically speaking, he was even involved in the disappearance of Hero.
Anyway, Ji-hyeok took off the clothes of the demon cult corpse and put it on the warriors and their teammates, and burned the corpse. And he tortured the surviving demon cult members to extract as much information as possible.
– Devil… , The Demon King will descend soon aaaaah!!
In the end, the high-ranking executive could not stand the terrible torture and told the secret.
As expected by Ji-hyeok, the Demon Church was currently preparing for the arrival of the demon king Puratremos. And it was the testimony of a senior executive that it was imminent.
However, the information about the time and place was so top-secret that he didn’t know anything about it either. Ji-hyeok judged that he had skipped enough, so he mercilessly cut off his head and threw the body into the fire.
After the work at the secret base was finished, Ji-hyeok came back to the ground with the rescued team of warriors. The rescuers, who thought they would never see the sun forever, shed tears of emotion as they felt the sunlight hitting their bodies.
Of course, the rescue did not end there. After that, troublesome problems abounded. … Especially drug withdrawal symptoms.
It sent them into convulsions in various ways at all times. There are cases where it is simply convulsions, but that was on the very good side.
There were those who masturbated naked in the snow in heat, those who urinated and urinated, those who howled, those who screamed, those who harmed themselves, and even those who cursed the prince. … Is it really a feast of madness?
The generous prince felt very sorry for such people. Didn’t all of them work diligently and end up in such a terrible situation!
Moving around with these addicts was no easy task. A road that would have taken a day usually took two days, sometimes up to three days…
Anyway, after a lot of hard work, the group managed to get out of the frozen forest and reach the village. They took a bath in hot water in a warm house and went into a cozy blanket. If this is not heaven, where is heaven?
… However, after coming out of the snow and becoming a little more livable, the uncontrolled addicts started causing problems again.
Jihyeok suddenly heard a tearing scream in the dark of the night and hurried there. In the room where her screams erupted, her fairy Lenny, her nightgown in tatters, and her warrior rushed to rape her. He was up on the bed drooling with his cock erect, and the look in his eyes made him half insane.
Orc Grendal quickly subdued him and dragged him outside. He had been sleeping soundly in a comfortable bed for the first time in a while, and Lenny, who was suddenly struck by lightning, was half-fazed.
In fact, she was already feeling the subtle gazes reaching her, but she had no idea that she would move into her own actions like this.
Of course, the accident did not end there. The two men and women biting, sucking, and throbbing each other in the middle of the day was a no-brainer, and there was even a time when the heroine, who had no arms, challenged Ji-hyeok to suck his dick without hesitation. … The withdrawal phenomenon that gets worse from not being able to take the hero’s medicine is eating away at their minds more and more, so normal thinking is already impossible.
Anyway, the Ji-hyeok team, who somehow manages to take the rescuers who cause accidents every day, was really hard. Even Ji-hyeok had to go through the double hardship of enduring the gradual change of his body.
It was not only a physical change, but also a mental one. Apparently, the owner of the blood was a ferocious evil dragon, so the hero who swallowed it became violent and increasingly unable to resist the urge. Of course, no one noticed yet because Ji-hyeok was aware of it and was careful, but he knew that he couldn’t just endure it forever.
In particular, the desire for destruction and sexual desire became noticeably stronger with each passing day. … An infatuation toward the fairy Lenny, which was certainly not there before, began to creep up at some point.
So whenever Jihyeok had time, he controlled his mind through deep meditation. However, change was not something that could be endured just by suppressing it. … Change was approaching a dangerous level.
In the end, the hero confessed his inner circumstances to Grendal.
“… Grendal, I have a problem.”
“What problem are you talking about?”
“It seems that the dragon’s blood gradually changes me.”
Orc Grendal, who had already been told, had a worried expression.
“How do you mean?”
“The character is becoming violent and obscene at the same time. … It seems to be following the nature of a dragon.”
“The nature of a dragon, I mean.”
“Okay…”
Speaking of dragons on the continent, it was common to think of vicious and greedy creatures. And now, Ji-hyeok is also changing that much.
“Then what should I do?”
“There is no other way now. For now, I just have to be patient. … But just in case, I’ll tell you first.”
“Isn’t there a limit to being patient? Any way to solve it…”
“Anyway, this is the situation right now. If even I falter, what will my colleagues believe in and follow me?”
Suddenly, Grendal could indirectly feel how heavy and many burdens were placed on the warrior’s shoulders. The atmosphere became a bit somber.
“… So, is there any way to fix it?”
“It’s not very likely, but I’ll have to seek some advice from an expert first.”
“I will do my best to help.”
“Thank you, Grendall.”
“No. Thank you so much for saying this.”
“If I ever get into trouble, I believe you will be able to lead the team well.”
“It is a problem. It will never happen.”
“It’s just in case. That will make my heart feel better.”
“… All right.”
Jihyeok smiled heartily and patted the thick arm muscles of Glendal, who bowed his head.
In any case, Ji-hyeok felt much more at ease after he confessed his inner circumstances. Maybe that’s why it seems to have gotten a little easier to endure.
However, there was still a long way to go to the capital. In addition, it is a state where all the sick addicts have to be led, so the speed has to be much slower.
After Orc Grendall heard about the situation from the captain, he was often worried and kept awake at night.
I wonder if he would have confided such a situation to himself.
… And in that worry, many days passed.
Lenny, the fairy wizard, noticed that a shadow had been cast on the face of the benevolent and warm military commander, Grendal, and became curious.
Although Glendal was an orc, her commander was one of the few people she looked up to. She doesn’t show off on the outside, but how much she trusts and relies on him—! Moreover, I received a lot of help in this expedition…
So she wanted to be of some help to him. Even if she’s on the blunt side, she’s not the kind of ungrateful bitch who doesn’t even know her grace.
“Commander, are you worried about anything?”
“Uh? Uh… , No, it’s okay. Never mind. … Can you hold on?”
Grendal quickly smiled benevolently and asked Lennie so sweetly.
“I feel better. It is less cold than before.”
“Yeah, I’m glad. The role of a wizard in a team is very important, so you have to think of yourself first. Understand? If you have any difficulties, be sure to tell me.”
“Yes.”
Lenny looked at Glendal, biting her nose.
“… Are you really okay? I think you are worried about something.”
The orc smiled awkwardly and shut his mouth. There is definitely something-. The fairy was so sure.
“Can you please tell me? I’ll help if I can. … The unit commander also helped me a lot. I want to be your strength too. I mean it.”
“Well… Well, actually, it’s not without worries. … You don’t have to worry though.”
“Can’t I hear what you’re talking about?”
Grendal agonized over it, then spoke up about it. Lenny’s eyes, who had been listening quietly, also settled down.
My concern was about the captain. Although the captain was also human, he was one of the few people she truly admired. And she never imagined that such a thing would happen to the benevolent and kind captain. … That must mean that she cares deeply for her subordinates. That’s why respect comes naturally.
“Since it’s still a long way from reaching the capital, I’m a little worried about whether the captain will be able to hold on unscathed in the meantime. … Is there anything I can do about it?”
Grendal asked the fairy Lenny with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw. Since she is a magician, I wondered if there would be some plan for her.
However, as her major was combat magic, she had no magic knowledge that would be of immediate help to the captain. At least her alchemy, which seemed to have the most connection with it, was a non-mainstream class that was not popular even among wizards, and she, who had no ties to it, was also completely ignorant of it.
“… Sorry. It’s because I’m not a major in alchemy.”
“No, what are you sorry about? Okay. Don’t worry. The captain will be able to overcome it well.”
But she wouldn’t have known if she didn’t know, and once she knew, Lenny couldn’t feel at ease with her either. Even so, she has a lot of things to worry about because of the current addicts, but she has to take care of her sick body as well.
Leni was well aware of the ferocity and possessiveness of the creature called the dragon. How many legends did he hear about him when he was young? Even when he was an academy student, he learned a bit about dragons. … After all, the source of magic descended from dragons.
… It won’t be solved just by being patient.
As for the detailed theory, even the fairy did not know, but she knew that she could not endure physical and mental changes blindly by putting up with them. … No matter how strong the captain is, isn’t the root a weak human being after all?
Lenny asked for the warrior’s understanding to check the captain’s physical condition.
“Did Grendal tell you?”
“I was so worried about something, so I persistently asked.”
“… Okay? Actually, I was thinking of talking to you too. … Then would you like to take a look?”
“Yes.”
The fairy thoroughly examined the warrior’s body. She was shocked as soon as she confirmed the condition of his body, which was raging with enormous mana.
No… , How can you be so calmly patient in this state… ?
“How is it? Is there anything you can do?”
“No, more than that… , Are you not suffering? This… , This is not tolerable, chief.”
“Still bearable. … Well, it’s not as hard as you said.”
The captain smiled lightly. However, there was a hint of distress on his face. Lenny didn’t know what to do.
“I don’t think it’s something that can be tolerated blindly. If you’re going crazy like this right now… , I think I need to resolve it somehow. It really blows up like this, chief.”
“The mana seething is tolerable. … But something feels very strange. That’s what it takes. … Maybe it’s a mental problem?”
The lust that boiled in the hero’s eyes flashed for a moment, then disappeared. Lenny accidentally witnessed it.
… Ah…
The fairy seemed to know what the captain needed. … However, how could she be blunt and lacking in social skills to say such a thing so readily?
“Come on, boss… , Uh… , If it’s too hard for you, just tell me. I am… , Somehow… , I will help you.”
Lenny quietly averted his gaze and spoke roundly. This was the limit of what she could express.
Jihyeok didn’t know what she meant by that. But the warrior did not want to touch her because of her unbridled lust. … Even thinking of his wife and son waiting for him blindly in the capital.
“I am fine. Don’t worry. … And, chastity should be cherished. Just because of me, you don’t have to feel that way, Lenny.”
The fairy could not speak any more.
“This is the karma I have to take. I drank the dragon’s blood at my own discretion. You shouldn’t be carrying that burden.”
Lenny stared blankly at the captain for a moment.
Colleagues are the ones who share the burden and bear it.
The fairy went up to the top of his throat and then went down again. Clumsy in her expression, she just lowered her head.
“… Yes, I understand, chief.”
“Okay, thank you for your concern.”
The fairy turned and left.
… Today, her heart is really disturbed.
