Chapter 329 – 329. The Exposed Breeding Grounds (3)
The yellow golem, Bumblebee, slowly got up and showed off his appearance to the gangsters.
It’s about twice the size of an average male, and as a golem, it’s about the same size as normal golems.
Perhaps because they saw the size of Optimus, which Emilia excitedly operated on the ground, the expressions on Erin and Lily’s faces weren’t that surprising.
Thinking that he had produced and possessed not just one golem like this, but several of them, his expression was terrified.
“Sometimes I think about it, but there are times when I don’t understand Hyun-yi’s sensibility. Why are you making something like that?”
“That… I am too.”
Even Lily, who tried to defend her, agreed with Erin’s words with a wry smile when she couldn’t come up with the right words.
“Well, still…”
Erin recalled the image of Optimus destroying the building of the casino hotel from the ground earlier.
“Compared to that golem, it’s kind of cute.”
Unlike the blue golem named Optimus, which was full of Eun-hyeon’s taste, the golem named Bumblebee was much smaller and more compact.
Even though he was twice as big as himself, he stimulated Erin’s sensibility enough to make her think that he was somehow cute.
‘That one will turn into a carriage, too, won’t it? Should I learn how to move from Hyun-i?’
Under Emilia’s remote control, Bumblebee aimed the weapon mounted on her arm at her thugs.
As the mana that had begun to condense into the weapon began to rotate, Bumblebee’s arm vibrated slightly.
Through the assistance of various devices to stop the trembling, he is aiming at the gangsters precisely.
[Automatic Golem Armament]
[Ultra high compression air gun]
Finally, bullets of compressed air that rotated and compressed inside the weapon fired from the huge nozzle and flew right at the thugs.
Kwaaang!
“Keah!?”
As if colliding with a huge wall, bullets from an intense gust of wind swept away all the thugs within range.
“… I want to cancel what I said was cute.”
Erin put on a dumbfounded expression at the golem’s ability to blow away many thugs and clear the road that was blocked.
“More weapons than I thought… It’s not that unusual… ?”
Is it because the impression of Optimus destroying buildings was too strong?
It was also an order she gave herself, but what if she used a weapon with great power enough to affect the black market, she thought, and Erin let out a sigh of relief.
“This is a non-lethal weapon set by the Master. If the Submaster gives permission, immediately switch to a weapon equipped with flame-type killing magic…”
“Gwa, it’s okay! Don’t do it! Never!”
Judging by Emilia’s way of proudly giving her rants, a feeling of uneasiness flashed through her mind that she was on the level of crippling the entire Black Market.
When she hurriedly shook her head and expressed her disapproval, Emilia put on a regretful expression.
“… I accept your order.”
Her expression itself was very calm, but Emilia’s tone and behavior seemed to be filled with regret.
She was like a child who let go of her toy, which she desperately wanted to play with, when her mother blunted her not to use it.
Erin muttered, staring at her bumblebee with her dreadful gaze.
“… You made such a bloody weapon.”
“Erin, let’s move.”
“Ah, yes.”
Erin brought Lily back to her senses and nodded her head.
Erin moved her steps and arrived at the prison Coliseum in the heart of the Black Market.
“I was really confining the beasts and breeding them…”
Although she knew it because she heard the roar of the monsters from afar.
After seeing the beasts again, she felt a sense of tension.
“Emilia. From now on, block the entrance with that golem so we don’t get in our way.”
“I accept your order.”
Emilia nodded her head willingly and turned her back on Erin and Lily to face her entrance.
“Shit! Who the hell is this at this timing!”
“Bring it out now!”
Attacked by Bumblebee and swept away by a gust of wind, the gangsters and their companions came after them belatedly to pull out Erin, Lily, and Emilia.
“Poem, poetry X! What is this yellow lump of scrap metal! Why!”
“… We can’t just ignore the remarks that disparage the armament of this entity. The suppression begins.”
As if her mood was offended, Emilia began to over-suppress.
Leaving Emilia behind, Erin took a small deep breath and activated her entire body’s mana.
It transforms into a nine-tailed nine-tailed fox and creates nine fox fires condensed at the tip of its tail.
[Hujok magic (狐族姚術)]
[Hundred Ghost Night Trips]
The blue flames gradually grew in size, and the nine hundred demons wearing armor that shimmered in flames lined up in front of the inexperienced master to greet the girl.
“This… Hundred ghosts…”
Lily, who had been staring blankly at the ghosts subordinate to Shinsoo, whom she had only heard of but never seen properly, was overwhelmed by the majesty of the white ghosts, and she was unknowingly nervous.
Even though they are aware that they are not enemies, but allies, the knights with aura that make the skin of their whole body goose bumps.
“Ah, haha. Long time no see. Hundred Ghosts!”
Erin scratched her head and said hello, leaving Lily speechless.
The reaction of the hundred ghosts who accepted Erinn’s greeting was calm.
In the first place, only a part of the soul was able to manifest in the lower world thanks to the magical ability of the divine beast, and even if they were the owners, it was impossible to exchange words.
But that doesn’t mean that mutual communication is impossible.
Among the nine Hundred Ghosts, the swordsman Hundred Ghosts, corresponding to the rank of captain, gestured and gave instructions to the other Hundred Ghosts.
Clap!
The sight of the white ghosts kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads in unison is a model of a faithful knight who shows the utmost courtesy to his lord.
“Oh, my dear! Hundred Ghosts! I said you really didn’t have to do that…”
Erin was too burdened by the unchanging attitude of the white ghosts.
Shaking her hand in her haste, Erin desperately refused, but the white demons did not accept their master’s request.
It is the means by which she can show loyalty to her own master, the nine-tailed fox, who took part of her soul upon her death.
It was natural for the white demons to show loyalty to Erin, who inherited the power of the divine beast and became the new young master.
“…”
The behavior of Erin and the white demons, who did not bend their opinions, was a delicate part for Lily, who was watching from her side.
The appearance of loyal servants as if they were treating a princess, the daughter of a queen.
“Is this what the master was talking about?”
Lily recalled that Eun-hyeon laughed in vain as she said, ‘They were like executives assisting the daughter of the president of a large company,’ as if there had been a similar scene in the past.
“Okay, first of all, white ghosts! I have work to do, so wake up!”
Erin belatedly realized the current situation of running out of time and hurriedly raised the hundred demons.
“From now on, please destroy the prison where these monsters are confined. Ah! But you can’t deal with witches. We just need to prevent people from being harmed.”
At Erin’s slightly disorganized explanation, the other hundred demons, including the swordsman, stared at Erin without moving all at once.
This is because the content of the order was not clearly understood.
Destroy all prisons where demon beasts are imprisoned.
However, it is not possible to get rid of the demons.
We must also stop trying to harm people.
What on earth is his master trying to do by freeing the demons?
It wasn’t impossible to simply carry out the order, but she only conveyed the course of action, and the purpose and result of the action were not accurately conveyed.
The White Demons felt as if they had met their boss at work, who only gave vague business instructions, saying, ‘Just don’t think about anything, just do what I tell you!’.
“Uh, um… That, so…”
With the gaze of Prosecutor Baek-Gwi, who demanded a detailed explanation of what she wanted to do, Erin sorted through her complicated mind and chose what she had to say.
“Erin.”
“Huh?”
“May I explain further to the White Ghosts?”
“Uh…”
Unwilling to respond to Lily’s suggestion, Erin glanced at the hundred ghosts and noticed them.
Lily stood beside Erin, and she politely begged the White Demons for their understanding.
“Nice to meet you. White ghosts. I am Lily, the servant who serves Erin’s teacher, Eunhyeon.”
When the name of Eunhyeon, who had fought once, was mentioned, the atmosphere of the white ghosts changed.
Even though they were in a weakened state, Eun-hyeon, who did not lose at all in the fight against the nine hundred ghosts, was a ‘warrior’ who wanted to compete again at least once.
“Do you mind if I explain the current situation and our purpose on behalf of Erin?”
In a way, it was a similar story to hearing the orders of a being other than their master, Erinn.
Prosecutor Baek-Gwi, the leader of the Baek-Gwis, nodded in affirmation.
In the first place, in a situation where Erin, their owner, couldn’t explain right away, Lily’s consideration to give a detailed explanation is a grateful help.
“Thank you. Our purpose is to release all the demons imprisoned here and induce them to escape to the surface. In the process, the harm to people must be minimized. The reason is to make trouble for the person who imprisoned those demons in this underground facility.”
It is a fact that the owner of this territory, the Duke of Saviros, is naturally aware of confining demons in an underground facility and breeding them.
On the condition of turning a blind eye to this fact, Duke Saviros was receiving a lot of bribes from Federica.
Since tourism and gambling, which have become representative industries of the estate, are all operated under Federica’s supervision, Duke Saviros cannot punish Federica.
Rather than punishing them, it is more like an accomplice relationship.
-But if all the monsters in the underground facilities come up to the surface, the story will be different.
If it is revealed that demon beasts have been brought into the territory and bred, and that the risk factors of potential citizens have been continuously preserved and grown, then it is not only a matter of the territory.
It is impossible to defend Federica, who has been leading the witch business, and in the end, Duke Saviros must abandon Federica.
Starting with proudly crushing a casino hotel in front of many people.
A situation where Federica and the mafia members are completely isolated economically and politically.
Eun-hyeon is deliberately inducing the situation.
“Our objective is the owner of this underground facility and her minions. I want to minimize the damage to human life indiscriminately.”
I couldn’t see the people who used this black market as good people.
All of them bet on humans being toyed with by demonic beasts in the Colosseum, and they are scoundrels who look down on life.
Even if not as much as Federica, there is no doubt that he was a vicious person, but Lily’s current target was only Federica.
Others were not interested in it, and they agreed with Eun-Hyeon’s plan to minimize human damage because they were concerned about a bigger embarrassing situation if they touched it.
“And… You speak really well.”
Erin, who was unable to articulate her words properly, as if her skein was tangled in her head, admired Lily’s explanation as she quickly sorted out the situation and solved it.
“Thank you.”
Match!
“Ruler! Hundred Ghosts! Did you understand all of my sister’s story!? Then please move immediately!”
At the words of the lord, who gave orders by slapping his palms, the white demons moved in unison and broke the lock of the prison where the beasts were trapped.
Kurr!
Acquire!
Aww!
When the lock of the specially designed prison was destroyed and the entrance was opened, the demon beasts who came out of the prison howled and let out their own cries.
“Mi, crazy… !”
“What are those bitches doing!”
The gangsters, who had been blocked by the bumblebee and were unable to enter the interior, were shocked to see the existence of the beasts that had been released all at once.
“Run, run!”
“Aww!”
