Zeus Ex Machina 227

Chapter 227 – The Trial of Seven, Man-Eating Horses (2)

Are you a human just because you have a human form?
Are you a woman just because you look like a woman?

Not.
These are monsters
It is a monster that wears a human mask, eats humans, and turns into a human.

Killing such a monster, there is no reason to care about anything else.

“What are you doing now!!”
“Shut up.”

I grabbed the face of King Diogenes who was screaming next to me and blew it away.
At least he was human, so he just blew it far enough that he wouldn’t die.

Considering what’s about to happen, you should be grateful for blowing it up.

“Kishya!!”

Man-eating mares run at me.
As befits those who claim to have eaten humans, they rush at it with ferocious fangs like those of vampires rather than straight teeth.

Kwadeuk!!

Aaaaa!!
A sharp scream resounds in the castle.
The man-eating mares clinging to my body began to transform while biting my whole body, and soon the horses that changed to the same color as my hair began to bite me.

“Huh.”

It doesn’t hurt at all.
There is no rubbing on the skin, and no piercing of the leather.

A long time has passed since I died, but the Nemean lion’s skin still protects my body more firmly than any other armor.

The opponent’s attacks do not reach me, and my attacks reach the opponent.

B— evil!
Once more, I hit the head of the man-eating mare that was biting my body.

Twisting my body, I lift one leg wide and kick it, swing my arm as it is holding my arm and drive it to the floor, and use my free hand to drive my fist through the cannibal mare’s throat.

Whoa!

The mares screamed and collapsed.
Perhaps they had never properly experienced pain in their lives, and they suffered greatly from a single shock.

“Tsk.”

The Thracian soldiers were bewildered and at a loss, but they did not actively take action against me.

I guess so.
No matter how king you are, if you have beasts that eat people by your side, you can’t help but feel sick if you keep watching them.

Kishaaaaa!!

The cannibal mare, who had been beaten with bamboo sticks while still a human at first, attacked me while still a human.

“Where?”

I grabbed the gaping jaw of his with my hand, and he stretched out his arm toward me, trying to scrape the inside of the lion’s hide.

“Foolish.”

Swinging your claws to attack human skin, not skin, is definitely a valid hit.
However, as long as the target is Hercules, the attack cannot have a great effect.

Pa-ah!

Is it because we spend too much time at home having sex?
Or has he forgotten that a beast in fear of death can bite when cornered?

“Well…”

The man-eating mare stretched out her teeth, thrusting her fangs into the palm of my hand.
Originally, it was a mouth structure that couldn’t drive fangs in, but I stabbed the fangs into the palm of my hand, taking advantage of the twisted teeth from the wind I punched him squarely in the face earlier.

“…After.”

His hand her suddenly became hot, and he twisted his head from side to side as he continued pushing his fans into my palm her.

Whoops!
Bleeding, I grabbed his face her with my hands.
The fangs could not dig into my flesh any longer, and his eyes slowly began to turn from rage to bewilderment and fear.

“Congratulations. You hurt me.”

I don’t know how long this wound has been in, it’s been so long since I’ve seen blood, so I burst out laughing.

“Yes. It’s a monster that deserves to be killed at that level.”

This cannibal mare is not a gigantes.
It was just an ordinary horse, a beast, and according to the king’s order, humans were used as fodder instead of rice.

The source of all evil is King Diogenes.
However, even if it is a monster created by King Diogenes, if the monster continues to open its jaws at people, it must be killed.

So-

“!!”

The moment I was about to kill it, the mare suddenly took a huge step back.
I relaxed my grip and pulled back, and the moment he charged, I tried to punch him in the front again, but he reacted strangely.

“Kiaaaaa!!”

He grabbed his neck with both hands and started screaming in pain.
He started to riot, screaming indescribably more painfully than when he was beaten in the face and captured.

Buck buck buck.
Grasping his neck with his hands, he began to scratch and scratch himself, as if tearing something from his throat to forcibly pull it out.

Big, big…

Other man-eating mare also tried to rush at me, but started to notice with hesitation.

Still, it must be a colleague who has lived with me, but instead of supporting me, I started to distance myself from myself when I saw a colleague who was self-injuring.

“…After.”

Am embarrassed.
Suddenly I wondered what was going on, and as I looked around, everyone else started looking at me with puzzled-frightened faces.

Not in awe of the great hunter Hercules.
As if looking at the god of death or a guide in the underworld.
Or like looking at a monster that cannot be defeated by human power.

Such frightened faces.

Is it my misunderstanding that it feels like the eyes of humans watching Gigantes, which humans cannot control by force?

And if there is a reason…

‘As expected, this is a problem.’

I clenched my bloody fist.
I tied the blood flowing between my fingers with a piece of cloth torn from the mare’s clothes that had fallen to the floor, and at the same time, I clenched my fists so that no more blood would fall carelessly.

“…Foolish. Making me unseal my right hand.”

To get the situation out of the way, to reassure everyone, a play is needed.

“The moment you touch the Beast Slayer’s right hand, the Beast leaves you with only death.”

KIA, CEAAA…!!
The mare gnawed at herself and caused a bloody fountain.
He was almost dying, his fingernails full of flesh and blood.

“To touch this cursed right hand of a beast. Tsk, you chose the most painful fate for yourself.”
“Um, the cursed right hand…?”
“What, what a curse…”
“Hmph. That doesn’t matter. The important thing is those cannibal mares and King Diogenes who handles them.”

I pointed with my left hand at the three frightened mares and King Diogenes.

“Beasts wearing human masks will all die here today. However, I will show you mercy.”

I approached the royal castle wall and held up the candlestick placed on the wall with my left hand.

“Have mercy, I’ll break your head.”

Right hand.
Only help

B— evil!
By throwing a candlestick at the back of the cannibal mare’s head as it tried to escape, I started hunting.

* * *

“It sparked a diplomatic issue with Thrace.”
“Huh.”
“I don’t think you need to worry. If divine punishment falls on King Diogenes on the way back, there won’t be any problem in Thrace.”
“Let’s solve human political problems with the power of God?”
“Well, what’s not going to happen?”
“That too.”

While taking care of Megara, I inspected the white bandage wrapped around my right hand.

“At this rate… I won’t be suspicious for a while.”
“Yes. By the way, that curse…”
“It’s true that it’s a curse that inflicts the most terrible pain on beasts. It’s just that the name ‘Hydra’s Poison’ has a different meaning.”

Yes.
Having had the hydra’s venom before, it sawped into my body.

Into my blood

No one could find the Hydra’s venom in me, because, of course, the Hydra’s venom is in me, and I haven’t shed a single bleed since I killed it.

And today, I bleed for the first time.

In front of everyone, I saw with my own two eyes how the cannibal mare died after drinking a drop of my blood.

“…Maybe I got it wrong.”
“What?”
“You’re pregnant.”

I hugged Megara from behind in a back hug.

“It’s not just that you don’t have a uterus, I think there may be a problem with my sperm.”
“Put. If it was that kind of problem, I would have been poisoned long ago? I get semen close to ten times a day.”
“The semen is fine. The sperm is the problem.”

As the hydra’s venom begins to flow into her blood, she’s a little worried that she may be suffering from azoospermia.

“You can’t impregnate another woman by hugging her.”
“…Why don’t you check it once?”
“Yes?”
“By impregnating another woman, you prove that there is nothing wrong with Hercules.”
“Get a concubine?”
“Not a concubine.”

Megara definitely drew her line of her.

“Hey, I thought you could go somewhere else and run wild for a while.”
“Where?”
“While you were rampaging, Theseus came to visit.”
“Theseus?”
“Yes. I heard there’s a place you’d like to go with, but I thought I’d check it out there.”
“So… Let’s check the condition of my semen in a place where no one is around?”
“Yes. If you just check here…”
“I see what you mean.”

If you carelessly teasing your dick, you could end up getting fucked, so any place where you can play your dick in peace would be fine.

If it was Theseus, I could consult about my current situation and have a full discussion.

“But it’s strange. Theseus is a guy who hunts the wicked, and he calls me? Is there a case like this that fits perfectly in this situation?”
“If women are evil. And…”

Megara showed a slight distaste for her humans.

“They say they’ve found women who kill all of the boys that are born.”

Oh
