Abduction 37. Beasts (9)
#A37
Lethe, the leader of the North Wind Group, remembers.
The Night of the Fangs that took place under the leadership of Jaipa.
The Margrave Barça is engulfed in fire.
The sight of beastmen climbing over the castle wall and tearing humans to death.
‘The time has finally come.’
Decades had already passed, but the horrors of that day were still lingering behind the retina.
It was an obvious story.
Lethe’s dream of becoming the best engineer in the North ended with the arrival of the Night of the Fangs.
It took a considerable amount of time to regain occupied Barça.
A peace agreement was signed, and the corpses removed from the abandoned city had already turned into white bones.
Lethe swore as she gathered her family’s remains.
Those beasts will definitely be eradicated from the north.
In addition, they will take the head of Jaifa, the mastermind of this incident.
The northern natives were a great help to Lethe in preparing for revenge.
Descendants of those who were pushed out of the power struggle with the beastmen and driven out to the outskirts.
The hatred they previously harbored became even more intense when it met the oil called Lete.
“The emperor and the generals have forgiven you, but not me.”
Lethe, who was adjusting the ballista, said to herself.
As you say, Jaipa today is very different from the past.
He worked as a swordsman for a long time and helped the people.
He also made a great contribution in the war against Nebula Clazier, and was now voluntarily restoring public order in the North.
It was a move worthy of being called a hero.
But that was none of Lethe’s business.
What’s the use of it all?
Even if atonement is made, the dead do not come back alive.
“Now… come out now.”
Lethe put her eyes on the scope.
The ballista moved so smoothly that it was hard to believe it was made in his youth.
This weapon, which was installed in a place with the best visibility in the North Winddan’s stronghold, was created solely to capture Zaipa.
The fortress was becoming more and more noisy.
From the thick smoke, a black figure rose.
‘at las···!’
Lethe’s eyes widened.
It was definitely Jaifa.
He leaped vertically and held a scimitar soaked in blood in his hand.
Now that I was in the air, this was my opportunity.
Finally, Lethe adjusted the trajectory and pulled the launch lever.
Clap!
The spells engraved on the parts all lit up at once, and the ballista was triggered.
“good!”
The die is cast.
Lethe clenched her fists.
The huge spear headed toward Jaipa, drawing a straight line as if measured by a ruler.
There was no sound.
Among the more than ten types of shooting assist spells, there was also a magic that suppressed noise.
The only variable was that the opponent was Jaifa Tergen.
“hmm?”
A transcendent intuition sent a warning.
Jaipa, who was falling from the air, turned his head.
I saw a huge spear flying towards me.
“What is that again?”
Jaifa’s frown narrowed.
It was something different from the weapons I had seen so far.
Originally, a projectile was supposed to slow down as its hovering distance increased, but it was actually accelerating.
“You used your brain.”
It seemed like the shot was aimed at an opening in the air.
Of course, it wasn’t a big problem because I noticed it in advance.
Jaipa lightly swung the scimitar.
A black line was drawn in the air and the window split vertically.
No matter how strong it was, it was meaningless in the face of Zyfar’s aura that cut through space itself.
The moment he lowered his gaze to the fortress again.
Paaaaaaat-!!!
A window split in half caused an explosion.
A brilliant halo of light covered the surroundings.
Jaifa, who was at the center of the explosion, frowned.
“Ugh…!”

It was a flash of light that made it difficult to open my eyes properly.
Soon, Jaipa’s figure was swallowed up by the light.
Lethe, who saw the scene, raised the corners of her mouth.
“I thought we would intercept it. “If it’s you.”
“S-Success!? really?”
Blanta, who was watching from below, also clenched his fist.
It was successful up to this point.
He was anxiously watching the sphere of light.
The light that covered the sky disappeared in an instant, and Jaipa appeared again.
“What are we going to do?”
Jaipa, who landed in the middle of the fortress, laughed.
I had no idea what purpose the weapon was made for.
It was too elaborate to be a flashbang, and too weak to be a bomb.
What a waste of time.
He was about to start sabotaging again.
“hmm?”
I felt an unidentifiable sense of discomfort.
The scimitar, which was as light as a feather, was strangely heavy.
The members of the Northern Winds, who had been running away in despair, stopped and were whispering.
“What was that light just now? Where is Jaifa going?”
“What is that? “I’m seeing this old man for the first time.”
“Wait a minute, the scimitar in my hand can’t be…”
Suddenly, Jaipa realized that his visibility had lowered.
Just a moment ago, I was looking at the top of the heads of humans, but now I was at similar eye level to them.
“what···.”
Zaifa let out a look of bewilderment.
Now that I see it, it’s not just my vision that has changed.
The wind blowing through the collapsed ceiling was as cold as biting flesh.
I could no longer feel the aura that had been pulsating just a moment ago.
The hand holding the scimitar was covered with wrinkles and calluses instead of black fur.
“···human?”
It didn’t take long to realize the situation.
Jaifa realized that he had been transformed into a human.
And that too, as an old man with wrinkles.
Of course, because the original was original, the unique sense of intimidation did not diminish.
Eyes blazing crimson, hair and beard that were pitch black not appropriate for his age.
The naked body that was revealed as the clothes fell down was completely covered with muscles.
“······This is absurd.”
Jaipa was calm in everything, but this time he couldn’t help but panic.
I don’t know what kind of magic was used, but I became human.
The same race that was cut to death just a moment ago.
Bukpungdan was equally embarrassed.
They were slowly approaching the old man without knowing that he was Jaifa.
At that time everyone was in confusion.
– Everyone listen. The leader of the vicious beast, Jaifa Turgen, has now turned into a human.
Lethe’s voice rang out from speakers installed throughout the fortress.
– He would look like an old man with black hair and red eyes. He must have lost most of his beast powers as he suddenly turned into a human, so find him and kill him as soon as possible. If he is captured alive, he will definitely reward you.
The members were astonished.
Their attention naturally focused on the old man in front of them.
The old man, whose facial expressions and clothes matched perfectly, was moving his hands and feet around as if he were conducting an experiment.
“Black hair and red eyes… that’s me, old man!”
“Now is your chance! “Kill me!”
The attack began with someone shouting.
The North Winds rushing from all directions reminded me of a swarm of angry bees.
Jaipa threw away his scimitar and clicked his tongue.
“Is this too much?”
It wasn’t that I couldn’t lift it, but it was difficult to swing it freely.
Jaipa picked up the longsword lying on the floor.
The feeling of the sword hilt fitting comfortably in my hand was strange.
When I was a prisoner, I used this item as a toothpick.
“I guess I’ve lived too long.”
It seemed like he was probably under a curse or something.
Although it was her first time experiencing this and the situation was very bad, Jaifa calmly raised her sword.
What needs to be done doesn’t change anyway.
The veteran who ran forward swung his sword, and at the same time, the heads of the two members of the North Wind Troupe soared into the ceiling.
****
“Haha, it really was a success. Lethe!”
Blanta burst into laughter.
He had just heard Lethe’s announcement.
“You look so good, old man! “If it weren’t for those guys, I would be there to kill them, ah.”
Blanta thumped the floor with his tail as if he was disappointed.
By now, Jaipa would have been struggling with a human body that had not yet adapted.
“Zaifa has become human…! How could that happen!”
“I didn’t expect this either.”
Varen and Secret were shocked at the same time.
I would never have thought that he had such a secret weapon hidden away.
Secret, who was lying down and resting, muttered in an interested voice.
“It looks like I was lucky enough to find the humanization curse at a ruin or something. “It’s not such a loud curse, but was there a finished version left?”
“It’s impossible to deal with that number as a human. “We must help Jaifa!”
“My heart is like a chimney, too, but is there any other way?”
Secret looked at Blanta.
The chains that bound them were still under his care.
I was wondering how to escape from that werepanther.
From the direction of the fortress, a shout that seemed to scrape the earth rang out.
“It’s over there! “It’s Blanta!!”
“What?”
The three people turned their heads at the same time.
Dozens of beasts were approaching like a herd of angry bison.
Most of the prisoners were dressed in mats and were holding weapons.
Varen, seeing a familiar face, raised his eyebrows.
“Arena…!”
They were clearly prisoners locked in the arena’s quarters.
It seemed like they had escaped while Jaipa was on a rampage, and they were all filled with intense anger.
The target of his anger is none other than the champion Blanta.
He slowly glanced at the prisoners and sighed.
“Ha… really, it’s annoying.”
The reason was obvious.
There must have been a lot of things accumulated in various ways.
The reason why Blanta was able to enjoy good fortune was because he killed or maimed his compatriots in a flashy manner in front of everyone.
In fact, I never even considered them as people.
Did the security guard take advantage of the moment of liberation to come to punish them?
“I guess I looked quite funny too.”
Blanta laughed.
This needed to be pointed out.
He walked forward with great strides and tied Varen and Secret to a nearby tree.
The chains tightened so strongly that the two people’s faces turned pale.
“Ugh… Breathe…!”
“You guys just stay here. “If you run away, you’ll be followed by me.”
Blanta growled.
The bright eyes naturally made people feel intimidated.
Varen and Secret nodded quickly.
“Oh, I understand. “I will never run away.”
“That’s right. “Good Doyajiguma.”
Blanta tapped Varen on the head.
Honestly, it didn’t really matter if I ran away.
Werefoxes with short legs and fat humans could be captured as easily as eating cake.
Before I knew it, the distance between me and the beasts had narrowed considerably.
Blanta turned his head and smiled an eerie smile.
“then···.”
The majority of the area was tidal.
Blanta’s limp body disappeared from sight for an instant.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the prisoners and greeted them warmly.
“hi.”
“Fast, fast!”
The beastmen took a deep breath.
It was a speed far beyond imagination.
But they were also warriors who had survived a hellish arena.
The beastmen quickly regained their composure and launched an attack.
Spear knives, claws, and fangs flew towards one Blanta.
However, its liquid-like body did not even allow scratches.
“What a body…!”
“Profit, take a hit!”
It seemed like he was alone and not subject to gravity.
There were other Were Panthers in the group, but the gap with Blanta was hopeless.
Blanta quickly infiltrated the center of the group and bristled his claws.
“Bitches like you don’t even need weapons.”
“Damn, before I know it…Kaaak!”
After that, it was a one-sided massacre.
Blanta became a strong gust of wind and swept away the group.
Every time the claws flashed, the beastmen fell down, blood spurting from their vital points.
The werepanther in the lead screamed while clutching its split eyeball.
“Huh, huh!”
“I didn’t like the way your eyes opened earlier, but it’s a bit better now.”
Blanta snorted.
The blind werepanther swung his sword at random.
Blanta ignored him and moved forward.
It would be more fun to live like that for the rest of my life than to die here.
This time, two large werebears attacked from both sides.
“champion!”
“die!”
I thought they were twins because their faces looked exactly alike.
Because of his large size, it felt like two huge walls were approaching him.
Blanta was not embarrassed and leapt from his spot.
thud!
The two werebears, unable to slow down, bumped their foreheads against each other.
“Oops!”
“100 million.”
It was a momentary gap.
The champion did not miss the opportunity.
Blanta fell after circling the swallow three times and hit one person on the top of his head with his heel.
Kwasik!!
The werebear on the left collapsed with the sound of its skull being crushed.
Unable to withstand the pressure, the crushed eyeball popped out.
The werebear was scared when he saw his brother’s death.
“Tongue, brother!”
“There’s nothing easier to catch than lingering gomtaengs.”
That was also an opportunity.
Blanta lashed out his arm at the frozen werebear.
The sharply forged claws dug into the leather and tore out the heart.
The hand that came out again was stained red.
The werebear collapsed on top of his brother’s body.
“Hi…!”
“This is it?! “Don’t be scared, just attack!!”
Blanta roared.
The prisoners barely shook off their fear and rushed at him.
Secret, who was appreciating the reckless scene, gave a short review.
“What a lively friend. “He deserves to join Jaifa’s royal guard.”
“And innocent people like that…”
Varen, who was tied to the tree, lowered his head.
It was a sight I could not bear to see with my eyes open.
Every time the crazy leopard tore, cut, and tore apart, life disappeared.
Blanta was telling everyone how he had been champion for so long.
First, I had to escape from here before I could do anything.
Varen, who was assessing the remaining aura, opened his mouth.
“professor. I think I can solve this problem. “Please bear with me for a moment.”
“okay. It may be hard, but try your best one last time. “I originally planned to put it back on after I lost some more weight, but the current situation doesn’t support it.”
“yes? “What is that…”
“What are you talking about?”
Secret’s tail hit his pocket.
It was a gesture indicating that there was something inside.
He looked back at Varen and said in a slightly regretful tone.
“I will slowly return you to your original form.”
