Chapter 64 – Subjugating Monsters (2)
Subjugating monsters (2)
Kwaaaaa~~~
A huge dragon spewed lightning from its horn and attacked the elves from a distance.
However, the elves skillfully summoned earth spirits to block the lightning emitted by the dragon, and then fired their bows to attack the ogres and cyclops blocking the path first.
“Your Majesty! A dragon… Do you really know the identity of that monster?”
In response to Kurimu’s question, Yuno didn’t know how to explain for a moment and rolled her eyes.
‘Um… I have to say it’s a dragon, but they won’t understand… What should I say?’
After thinking for a moment, Yuno decided to just explain what he roughly knew and began to explain.
“Ah… I thought I saw a similar monster in an old book. It had the name dragon and said it was a beast that trains to become a god. If it succeeds after training for a thousand years, it will become a god, and if it fails, it will degenerate and become a giant snake. . But that appearance…”
“I see… I guess it’s an animal that failed training as you said… Then, was there any explanation as to the energy it controls?”
“Yes. That’s the end of the information I know.”
“In that case, we will proceed as originally planned. Your Majesty, please enter his territory slowly.”
“If it is a territory… Where does the territory start?”
“Can you see the place where our archers are forming a line and drawing a line? If you go about 100 meters further from there, you will reach the root of the World Tree. And from there, you can think of it as its territory.”
As soon as Kurimu finished explaining, Yuno ran forward. Small and medium-sized monsters such as orcs and koblets rushed at him, but Yuno easily slaughtered them and continued heading forward, with the target point right in front of him.
But before we knew it, a huge troll was standing guard there, so Yuno stopped in front of the troll.
“Get out of the way!!”
“I can’t stand aside. This is the place that Miri ordered me to protect. I have a mission to protect that command.”
Yuno’s eyes widened in surprise that the troll spoke human language.
‘It’s interesting, but we can’t waste time here.’
When Yuno clenched his fist with all his might, a bright blue energy began to seep into his fist.
The force continued to grow stronger and radiated tremendous energy, but the troll just stared at it in silence.
“Going! Thaaaaap!!”
With a sound of cheers, Yuno’s fist, loaded with courage, flew at high speed towards the troll’s chest.
Wow!
However, Yuno’s fist was blocked by the troll’s outstretched hand, and when Yuno looked at the troll’s hand that was in contact with his own, there was a red glowing energy there.
“Ma… Master?”
“Did you think that only humans could surround their bodies with mana? That was an arrogant thought. The great spirits of nature are with me!!”
Yuno’s eyes wavered as if she couldn’t believe it, but she soon glared at him and strengthened her outstretched fist.
However, the troll pulled out an ax from its back with its other hand and swung it at Yuno, so Yuno had no choice but to back away.
Whoo!
Small hatchets flew towards Yuno along with the sound of cutting the wind.
Normally, it was a hatchet that he would have trusted his body and just hit, but because it was loaded with red mana, Yuno was swinging the new type to avoid the axes.
Haha!! There is no such thing as a rat!!”
“That guy!!”
The moment Yuno became angry, the troll’s new form disappeared and came in front of Yuno in an instant, and his giant ax hit Yuno’s neck like a beam of light.
Yuno was surprised because it was such a sudden surprise attack, but he calmly struck away the ax with an energized hand and extended the blade toward the troll’s neck.
The speed of the hand blade seemed to be faster than lightning, but the troll also avoided Yuno’s hand blade by slightly twisting its neck, threw its body back to widen the distance, and then threw his hatchet.
‘Shit! I never thought there would be such an incredible monster among giant monsters… His level is slightly lower than that of the teacher, and his skills are definitely higher than Eliza’s…’
Through the previous exchange of moves, Yuno was able to roughly understand the master troll’s skills.
‘It’s a bit inferior to me, but… I think I’ll have to take a long time to kill it. But there’s not enough time for that’
In the back, the elves were engaged in a fierce battle, but they were unable to advance for fear of being caught up in the dragon’s energy. However, the monsters continued to flock, and the number of elves being sacrificed was gradually increasing.
So Yuno came up with a plan and talked to the troll.
“Hey! It seems like a very skilled troll. What’s its name? Even if it’s a troll, it probably has a name, right?”
“Hmph! You are a talented but rude person who asks for the other person’s name but does not reveal your own name! My name is Ajin! I am the proud chieftain of Jumani! What is your name?”
“My name is Yuno! I am the third prince of the Balkan Empire and the Count of Tessidanicana Territory! So, I have finished my name… Don’t you want to fight against strength? If you were a man, you wouldn’t avoid me, right?”〈 Br〉
At Yuno’s provocation, the troll named Ajin snorted.
“Okay! Let’s compete!! Are you going to compete head-to-head with a human versus a troll, power vs. Power? That’s brave!! Out of respect for your courage, I will eat your corpse!!”
“If that’s possible!”
Yuno stretched out both arms, and Ajin grabbed Yuno’s approaching hand and began a head-on battle of strength vs. Strength.
“Khaaaaap!!!”
“Urrrraaaaa”
The battle between the two was fierce. As the confrontation continued, Yuno’s hand continued to glow blue, and Ajin’s thick hand also continued to glow red to the extent that Yuno’s light could not be defeated.
The glowing energy was similar, but as time passed, the troll’s huge body began to gradually move back.
“It’s big … I can’t admit it !! To human beings … Is it true that I am pushed?”
“Heh! Did you think humans couldn’t defeat trolls with force? That’s an arrogant thought.”
Ah-jin, who returned exactly what she said, lowered her face in shame. Then, the mana in his arm began to gradually decrease, and Yuno, who noticed this, sent all the mana he had into his arm and pushed Ajin in an instant.
“Kaaaaa!!”
In the end, Ajin’s arm broke, and Yuno’s victory was confirmed.
“Ugh! It’s a complete defeat… But Miri’s orders are strict! I can’t fall here… Wow!!”
Even with his arm bent, Ah-jin attacked Yuno with his whole body and tried to crush him with his weight, but when Yuno’s powerful fist hit his stomach, Ah-jin fainted and fell to the floor.
“Should I kill him if I think he’s a monster… It’s a waste to just kill him… I can communicate with him… He’s quite manly…”
Moreover, since there was no one who could compete with him in terms of strength vs. Strength, it was a shame for Yuno, who was able to enjoy the match where he gave his all, to kill Ah-jin.
In the end, Yuno returned to the base with the troll and drove the unconscious Ajin’s hands and feet into stakes.
“It’s a troll, so regeneration shouldn’t be a problem… Queen Kurimu! I’ll go to the front lines again!”
While Yuno was capturing Ajin, Kurimu also fought the ogre that had reached the level of master, and was only able to cut off the ogre’s head after receiving help from Eliza and Catherine, so he was surprised at Yuno’s inaction when he returned after capturing the master-level troll by himself. Marked.
‘If that person is true to the goddess’ prophecy… He will be able to hold out until we defeat that damned dragon… Goddess Venus, please give us your blessings.’
“Don’t worry too much. That guy will be much stronger than the Queen thinks.”
“Yes… I believe it. Your Highness Yuno will definitely be able to save the World Tree.”
Kurimu once again prayed to the goddess in his mind and advanced to the front lines, leading the archers.
While Yuno was fighting Ajin, many of the giant monsters were eliminated, and the front line was moving forward little by little under Kurimu’s command, so Yuno was able to reach the dragon’s territory without any hindrance.
“Is this the dragon’s territory? Hmm… What’s particularly strange… Hmm?”
As soon as he reached the area that Kurimu had told him to be careful of, Yuno looked around but couldn’t find anything special.
However, Yuno’s sense of energy told him that something was approaching him, and Yuno began to raise the mana of his entire body to fight the approaching energy.
“What… Is this?”
‘Hohoho, that’s pretty good! How can a human being resist my energy? Ho ho ho’
Yuno was embarrassed by the woman’s voice echoing in his brain and distracted the mana he had built up at the moment.
‘What… Is this voice? Could this be the dragon that is encroaching on the World Tree?’
‘Joy! Make no mistake! Who knows that someone needs the energy of a tree like this? Because there was no spirit creature with a positive energy that I could be satisfied with! But… There’s a tremendous amount of energy sleeping inside your body… If I absorb all that energy, I will be able to ascend to heaven again!’
As soon as the voice finished speaking, a large amount of energy came through the gap where the mana was scattered and began to weigh down Yuno’s body, and Yuno gritted his teeth and resisted the energy.
Heheokay… If you don’t want to be crushed to death, resist hard… In the meantime, I’ll eat up your energy so hohohoho’
As soon as Yuno felt something slowly slipping out of her lower body, she gave the promised hand signal to her back.
“His Highness Yuno has sent a signal!! Bekes Luana’s personal guard charge!! The archers begin providing covering fire!!”
With Kurimu’s orders, the second act of the battle for the fate of the elves has begun.
