Chapter 330 – 330. The Exposed Breeding Grounds (4)
“Beast! The Witchbeast has been released!”
“Save me!”
“Get out of the way! I will go up first!”
After being freed from the prison Coliseum and enjoying freedom, the beasts roared all at once and showed off their presence.
Oooooh!
The loud roar of the Minotaur vomited from the chest fills the interior of the Black Market.
As if the people who heard the roar had been hit by a stinging electric shock, goose bumps all over the body, and their hairlines became soft.
[Quiet!]
The movements of dozens or hundreds of people who had been terrified by the woman’s cry suddenly stopped.
It was a beautiful voice that penetrated the ears, but at the same time, it penetrated into people’s heads and forced them to calm their hearts.
As if someone is manipulating people’s emotions with ‘words’.
[Slowly go up in line. If you decide you can’t go up, find another entrance.]
Lily, who manipulated the emotions of people who were confused through ‘wide-area mental control’, forcibly controlled people to calm the confusion.
I kept the turn and order and organized the traffic and the situation so that everyone could go up without impatient.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“That person…”
From a distance, Lily frowned when she saw the face of a person who was being chased by demon beasts and joining the ranks of evacuation.
This is the clerk who guided herself and Eunhyeon to the VIP seats at the black market last night.
‘Since it happened like this, let’s erase all memories.’
Having thus made her decision, Lily issued another order to those who were placed under her mind-dominant realm.
[Memories from then until now. Forget everything.]
They are concerned that their faces, who are the masterminds behind this incident, will be known.
All the memories of two days’ worth of members and customers of the confused black market were erased.
The reason she bothered to erase two days’ worth of memories was because she had no intention of keeping the vulgar games she and Eunhyeon had played the day before yesterday in their memories.
Lily erased people’s memories like that, and at the same time continued to control people’s minds so that they would rise up step by step.
‘It’s a bit difficult, but…’
Although it was a simple order, it was not an easy task to control and maintain the minds of hundreds of people at the same time.
‘Let’s not be in a hurry. Slowly…’
In any case, since Erin and the White Ghosts, Emilia and her doll troop, and the powerful force using Bumblebee were able to block the advance of the monsters without difficulty, there was nothing urgent from Lily’s point of view.
In addition, the secret entrances leading to the black market are not the only one on the casino hotel side.
The black market, which thousands of people come and go every day, cannot be called a secret entrance because only one space is made available.
The people carried out the commands Lily forcibly injected into their heads, and went back to the passage they came from.
“Good.”
After clearing the messy crowd, Lily exhaled a small breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She looked back and continued the fight while staring at Erin and Emilia.
She can’t fight and this is the best role she can play.
She activated her artifact by infusing her magical energy into her earring, which she had handed over for communication.
“Master. Can you hear… ?”
[Quaaaaagh!]
As soon as the artifact was activated, Lily flinched at the sudden scream of a man.
[I can hear. Say.]
He let out a sigh of relief at the fact that it wasn’t Eunhyun’s voice.
“This side has now released all the demons. It is a situation where the advance of the witches is blocked until all the personnel of the black market are evacuated to the ground.”
[Okay. As soon as Federica sees the casino hotel collapse due to Optimus’ appearance, she heads for it. I’ll clean this up soon.]
“Yes. Be careful…”
[You are. Don’t get hurt.]
“… Yes.”
At Eunhyun’s warm words of little consideration, Lily naturally smiled.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Ah!”
After slashing the dagger on another thug’s forearm, Eun-hyeon continued communication through her earring’s communication artifact.
“Okay. As soon as Federica saw the building collapse as Optimus entered, she headed for it. I’ll clean this up soon too.”
[Yes. Be careful…]
Lily’s worried voice made Eunhyun smile.
Most of them have already been cleaned up by the gangsters.
The more dangerous situation is not on his side, but on the side of Lily, Erin, and Emilia.
Aside from that, Lily’s concerns were genuinely appreciated, and she answered her words.
“You are. You can’t get hurt.”
[… Yes.]
Listening to her tone of joy, it seems that her situation is not so difficult either.
She drove the blade into the shoulder of the last remaining thug of hers and finished her off with a kick in the stomach.
“Heuk!”
The dagger stuck in the shoulder of the gangster flying through the air and crashing into the wall, ‘Redeal’, has returned to Eun-hyeon’s hand before he knew it.
Eunhyun nodded her head in satisfaction as she stared at her ‘God’s Arms’, which had returned to the white silver key of the early days instead of her dagger by releasing her powers.
[You seem to like it.]
‘It’s okay.’
[It’s very simple for an impression using the power of God.]
‘I am very satisfied with the created authority itself. It’s just that the amount of energy consumed and the duration are a bit disappointing. This part… It must mean that my skills are still lacking.’
By using the key this time, Eunhyeon accurately measured her abilities as a demigod.
The ‘key that brings history’ is Eunhyeon’s unique power created by combining powers, graces bestowed by the goddesses.
The enormous amount of divine power required to activate it and its short duration meant that as a god, his soul’s status was significantly lower than the power he used.
[It is a child’s strength to accurately grasp the current level and accept it honestly… I don’t want my child to be strangled by too steep growth or to be impatient.]
‘Impatience…’
Eunhyeon was clearly aware of what Belldandi had pointed out to her, and quietly chewed on the words.
Certainly, he himself is impatient.
Currently, his growth is undoubtedly incomparably faster and steeper than others.
However, it is fast and steep that others who compare it belong to the frame of ‘human’, and can feel it.
As a demigod, is he currently steadily growing?
There were cases where a human became a demigod, but it was a very rare case.
I’m not sure because there’s no one to compare it to.
[Don’t worry too much. The child is growing steadily.]
Belldandy continued his words, hugging the upper body of Eun-hyeon, who was lost in his thoughts.
[I wasn’t watching anyone else, wasn’t it? A child’s efforts.]
‘… Thank you.’
The troubles that popped up in my head were a little relieved by Belldandi’s consolation.
[Surely, the child’s soul will grow steadily.]
‘Can I grow up that easily?’
[If you’re not sure, why don’t you try drinking my breast milk again?]
‘…’
Eunhyeon was speechless for a moment at Belldandi’s invitation.
Eunhyun couldn’t see the expression of Belldandi, who wrapped her arms around her neck from behind empty space and hugged her tightly.
However, Eunhyeon could guess what the intention of the story was.
Belldandy is playing a prank on himself right now.
Seeing Belldandi, who was able to play pranks without hesitation in a relationship that grew closer day by day, Eun-hyeon laughed.
‘Even if it’s not for this reason, the invitation is always welcome.’
[As the days go by, my children are losing their specifications for me, and it’s not fun to be sly.]
The goddess smiled as she looked at the apostle who confidently promised to pamper him.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Erin! That’s it! Let’s run away too!”
As all of the Black Market customers evacuated to the surface, Lily shouted loudly at Erin, who was blocking her monsters from behind.
“Huh! Okay! Emilia! Withdrawal!”
“I accept your order.”
“Hundred Ghosts! You worked hard! Thank you very much! See you later!”
While blocking the advance of the monsters, Erin smiled broadly and waved her hand in gratitude, and the hundred demons paused and looked at Erin.
Although it was impossible to see the expressions of the hundred demons as the blue flames were covered by the shimmering helmets.
The reaction of the hundred demons who stopped fighting all at once and stood tall looking at Erin was strange.
Unlike the previous owner, the girl who inherited the power of the divine beast and became the new owner is very bright and full of energy.
While the flames of the Hundred Demons faded as she was reverse summoned, someone spoke to Erinn’s head.
[Let me fight that person once.]
“Uh, Galahad… Sir?”
She is a second teacher who sometimes speaks to Erinn’s consciousness and teaches her the basics of the three sword techniques in her early days.
[Why are you belatedly showing respect?]
“Ah, that… Miho once said something to me…”
Why does she talk to herself and call her like a friend?
In Erin’s polite attitude toward the white ghosts, who were no different from her own subordinates, the nine-tailed fox recalled her memories of her dissatisfaction.
[The former owner is also really… You have to keep your body…]
Erin’s discriminatory treatment is not right, but the Gumiho’s attitude towards a child who is about to turn 20 is also laughable for Galahad.
[You two are very close.]
“… Are you with Miho? Um, I don’t know…”
She’s often just bickering and arguing, but can she define it as friendly?
But it wasn’t that Erin didn’t like nine-tailed foxes either.
“More than that, the fact that I am the person Galahad-sama is talking about…”
[One person, doesn’t it come to mind? I mean the person who has grown you, our new owner, to this day.]
“Hyun?”
Erin opened her eyes wide, realizing at once who she was talking about.
[I think she asked for a favor once before… I think the new owner forgot about it.]
“Ah…”
-Well. But I want to try. Can I give you just one recommendation?
She belatedly recalls the request Galahad had made in the past and sighs lightly.
She was in her prime when she was exploring and training the Archis Labyrinth.
Inside the dungeon house, I witnessed Eunhyun lying on the bed with Illyana and hurriedly left the room.
In the end, she forgot her original purpose at the intense scene in the room at that time, and realizing that she had been neglected until now, she put on an embarrassed expression.
“Gee, I’m really sorry. I forgot!”
[What… The sight at that time was a bit irritating, so I understand, but… Please don’t forget this time.]
“… Yes.”
After retrieving the souls of the hundred demons, Erin, who had Galahad’s request in her head again, retreated with Emilia.
She found a different exit from the one she came down from, and through that passage the three of them evacuated to the ground.
“It’s out!”
“Whoa…”
Of the three who finally escaped to the ground, Erin and Lily took a closer look at their surroundings.
It’s time for Lily’s brainwashing to be lifted and the people in the underground black market to come to their senses.
“My, why am I here… ?”
“I was in the basement… ?”
When many people are confused by the current situation that you can’t explain properly.
Oooooh!
Erin and Lily flinched at the loud roar of the demon beast a short distance away from the collapsed casino hotel building.
As Eun-hyeon planned, the operation to free the witches trapped in the black market prison Coliseum and make them appear on the ground without harm to people was successful in its own way.
Lily immediately reported the current situation to Eunhyun through the artifact of her earring.
“Master. Witchbeasts have risen to the ground.”
[Okay.]
“Now what do we do…”
Ugh
The moment she was about to ask for the next course of action, she sensed a wave of aura in the air, and Lily, startled, was unable to speak.
[The silver-white key to reproduce history]
[Summon, Gungnir]
A ray of starlight shining brightly in the dark night sky gave off a strong presence.
“Wow…”
“Ah…”
In the center of that starlight, I found a familiar aura and a human figure.
Erin and Lily gazed up at the night sky with expressions of surprise, admiration, and reverence.
Soon the stars fell down.
[Bryunak spearmanship]
[Scourge]
Wow!
It rises to the ground, penetrates the Minotaur that was roaring near the collapsed casino hotel, and the aftermath shakes the ground.
