Chapter 178 – Night of the Tentacles
* * *
“What the hell is that!!”
Duke Collint was running until his underpants were damp with sweat.
Even if you run away from the alley, the identity of the ugly monster that jumps from roof to roof and follows you…….
〈Spider type 〉!
It was 〈 Yunhong Jiju 〉, a rare object born from Sir’s womb.
“Heo-eok, hee-huh!”
“You have to run away. Sir Collint… Aaaaa!!”
If it stops even for a moment, the tentacles wrap around its neck and hang in the air.
I’m glad that’s all As if millet cans are being trampled and crushed, the sound of bones being destroyed resounds viciously.
Colint didn’t even look back and ran away in his underwear.
“Hee! Hee! Hee!”
What a humiliation to run away with your back to a monster!
Even Duke Colint, who would have said that normally,
This time, I couldn’t think of anything other than running until my lungs exploded.
He usually enjoys hunting monsters.
With his men under control,
Like a hobby, he drove monsters and knocked them down with one or two arrows, then peeled off his skin and enjoyed dinner together.
A spider-type monster as big as that? I saw a lot.
But when Collint saw the silhouette of a giant tentacle spider crossing the castle wall,
He was already crammed into a small secret passageway and his ankles were breaking.
Instinctively it is only mimicking the skeleton of a spider,
Because he was seized with great fear, realizing that he is a terrible creature.
It is terrifying just to see the innumerable bundles of tentacles wriggling out of its mouth.
There is no organ that could be called an eye.
It does not show any of the characteristics commonly observed in animals.
There is no time to look at each other’s liver while figuring out how much they have invaded each other’s territory.
It’s an act that they do because they don’t know anything about sniffing or sneaking around.
That’s different.
As soon as humans and monsters meet, they realize that they cannot be mixed.
The encirclement of Yun Hong Ji-ju gradually narrowed Colint.
‘Did the young princess ever talk about something like that…? !!’
Duke Collint is an aristocrat who pushed Aira away and took control of the royal family while he was away.
It was a situation where it was difficult to bear the hope that Chok-goe would let go at all.
Right then.
“Run all the way!”
“Pilanos! Welcome!”
Pilanos, leader of the Shin Chang-wol Knights, blocked the way and said.
“Stop the monsters!”
“Go!”
Yoon Hong Ji-ju does not stop.
As if he had been waiting, Pilanos gave a signal to the crossbowmen who had taken up positions on the roof.
“Shoot!”
Dududududuk!
Specially treated arrows for monsters pierce Yunhongjiju’s body.
“Reload!”
Pilanos swung his spear at the same time fighting off several Yunhong landowners.
(Pilanos Lv.2771)
He was the man called Duke Colint’s right-hand man.
Destroy Yunhongjiju’s spider leg with a spear thrust.
It was enough strength to make Chokgoe hesitate.
“Huh? Why?”
Sirocco asked from the back of the tentacle dragon.
‘…… White Reaper.’
The trigger,
I didn’t know a man named Philanos at all.
He only knew the weapon he was holding.
It was the weapon that blew the entire ground away during the Battle of the Sewers.
The white spear stood out faintly in Pilanos’ hand.
“I am Pilanos, the leader of the Changmoon Knights!”
Pilanos stretched out his chest and shouted through the heavy rain.
“Ooh!”
The morale of the soldiers is at its peak.
“It is we, the Changwol Knights, who deal with the monster.”
“Come on! Tentacle monster!”
Chokgoe looked around for a moment.
Several of the evil that were planted to induce disturbance were already dead after being hit by Pilanos’ ‘White Reaper’.
Because of this, it was possible to reorganize quickly.
“The Changmoon Knights?”
Sirocco responded to those words.
“It’s a legendary order of knights whose name remains.”
“Are they like that?”
“Is the captain a female elf?”
Elf…….
No matter how you look at it, Pilanos’s visuals belonged to Orcs and Dwarves.
“No”
“It must be a reorganized Knights. Shall I go?”
“…… 」
Chokkai focused his mind.
All 11 Yun Hongjiju go into a state of direct possession.
The atmosphere has changed quite a bit.
‘Damn……. I didn’t hear that you had to fight something like this.’
Philanos clicked his tongue inwardly.
No matter how many national treasures there are,
The ferocity of this monster goes beyond what is on the surface.
The experience of Pilanos was telling.
In addition…….
It’s hard to see from here because it’s covered by clouds, but I’ve also received reports that something like a dragon has been seen in the sky.
Something unusual is about to happen in the capital.
Yes.
For the first time, they knew what kind of monster the Knights of the Furnaul Kingdom were facing.
Even if you speak loudly as if to drive away fear.
A moment of sudden silence.
The fear of an unidentified monster comes to visit.
“Huh!”
It was Philanos who moved first.
While charging forward, stab the spear neatly.
It’s normal for monsters to die without being able to respond, but….
Farr!
As the sensory hair piled up on Ji-joo Yun’s legs trembled, she captured the changed atmospheric flow.
Easily evade Pilanos’s spear attack.
‘The counterattack is coming… !!’
Pilanos retracted his outstretched spear and entered a defensive posture, but
Jiju Yoon Hong stayed still and then disappeared from the spot.
With the light trembling of the earth that makes ‘tung’.
Where did you go
The moment Pilanos raised his head to the black night sky, everything was over.
Yoon Hong Ji-ju made a leap forward.
It’s literally so fast that the person right in front of you can’t even notice.
I couldn’t even see the process of putting strength into my legs and jumping up.
Yun Hong Ji-ju, who jumped close to 30m, fell like a mortar shell and devastated the surrounding area.
Kwagwagwang!
All crossbowmen who took up positions were killed.
Pilanos was also crushed under the torso of Yun Hongji-ju and died instantly without groaning.
Jiju Yun Hong, who drove the fledgling Changwol Knights to annihilation.
Swipe his leg again to follow Collint.
It was a nightmare for him.
“Hee! Hee! Why… Why are you following me! Pilanos!”
「Give up」
Whirly Rick.
Tentacles wrapped around Colint’s neck as the exit door was in front of him.
Collint just passed out.
“… She’s not even a woman, and I don’t really want to capture her.”
The head of the feudal lords who rebelled against the kingdom.
There are times when this guy’s life is more useful.
“What the hell is going on inside?”
Thousands of soldiers stationed outside the city stood in organized formations awaiting instructions.
Soldiers are like hammers ready to strike.
Now that the Knights of the Kingdom are nameless, the privates of Duke Colint are strong enough to devour the Kingdom.
However.
The commanders did not know that this would happen.
“What do you see that as?”
“…Forgive me.”
“I’ve never heard of tentacle monsters carrying dragons…”
It looks good from outside the city.
The figure of a giant tentacle dragon hovering over Furnaul.
Everyone didn’t speak, but they were trembling with fear.
Even if there was a riot or something like that, I had a plan for the soldiers to go inside, but I had at least the first draft.
I honestly saw no need for that.
Instead of seeing the blood, Ira, who had no power, opened the door, and it seemed that Duke Colint’s plan was proceeding step by step.
He thought they would not have a big role other than being stationed here.
That is, until the tentacle dragon appeared.
Words like ‘Let’s all go in to find out’ didn’t come out of any commanding officer’s mouth.
“What happened to Sir Collint? Any news?”
“There is no way to know at this time.”
“Shouldn’t we go in and help right now?”
“But, since we don’t know the inside situation at all…”
“We can’t do anything! Let’s send someone to find out!”
The result of heated discussions among the commanders.
No one comes to tell me what happened inside,
Although it was decided to send someone from this side.
There are no volunteers among the soldiers.
Who would be crazy and want to go inside?
Currently, Furnaul looked like a demonic land dominated by tentacle dragons.
“Huh…”
“There is also a way to send them by force.”
“Stop it. If you do, everyone will drop their weapons and run.”
It’s night now
It’s monster time.
I can’t move until the day is bright.
“……Let’s move when the sun rises.”
The raindrops intensify.
Thunderstorms were shining unnervingly over the monster-infested city.
Black monsters full of murderous intent roam the dark streets,
Ordinary people have no choice but to lock their doors and pray for them to pass without incident while trembling with anxiety.
Meanwhile, there is also a procession of refugees who have come out to find a way to live.
“This way!”
Claire was leading them out of the city, protecting them from the black monster.
The city is now a dangerous monster den.
Sending even one more person out of the guarded
Convinced that this was a way to reduce casualties, Claire moved quickly.
“Keep moving! Don’t stop!”
“Knight Commander… Thank you so much!”
Claire put on her hood and smiled lightly.
“I am no longer the knight commander.”
“No.”
People took her hand.
“You are the leader of the knights that Rune Kingdom is proud of.”
“Thank you, Claire-sama!”
Many of the refugees were already familiar with Claire’s conduct.
Even though monsters are pouring out from everywhere,
Everyone calmly follows Claire’s guidance.
‘It wasn’t in vain.’
That day, the day when there was an assault on the shogunate.
Claire moved busily to save at least one more person.
As a result, more people could be saved today.
The evacuation procession, which was small at first, grows longer and longer.
Knowing Claire was in the lead, people ran out of their homes with their families,
What used to be a dozen or so people in the procession now turns into hundreds.
As much as the number of heads increased, Claire became busy as well.
‘As soon as possible, before the tentacle monster finds us…… !’
“Move! Keep going!”
In the distance, the tentacle dragon nosed over and turned wide, accelerating.
‘…… They noticed me.’
She looked around at the people around her.
“Captain?”
“Go on like this. Go out through the west gate and the soldiers will protect you.”
“Who is the captain?”
“… Run away with us! Captain!”
“I…….”
Claire turned her back and smiled faintly.
“I’m going to fight. For someone who needs my help.”
