The pirates on the deck lay as if dead. When I got closer and looked at the condition, I found that there was no danger to his life, but his spirit had been disturbed. I feel weak, like a patient fighting an illness. Myhenro, is this an aftereffect of that guy’s magic? Before being a pirate, you are a sailor. If I don’t wake up by tomorrow, I’ll be in trouble.
As I passed through the cabin and reached the lowest level, I came across a warehouse guarded by guards. The guys guarding the warehouse are also stunned as if they were hit by My Hen Law. There is no need to look for the key.
Kwasik-!
As soon as I broke the lock and entered the warehouse, a foul smell hit my nose.
The warehouse wasn’t just loaded with goods.
I saw a prison with iron bars in a corner. Since it was a pirate ship, it looked like it was used to restrain prisoners. In the ship’s prison, they were still covered with old, large cloth. Even if no one is watching, they cover their bodies with smelly and dirty cloths. I watched them through the bars and narrowed my eyes.
“Are you okay?”
I wasn’t expecting an answer. Their condition was serious. He was so weak that it seemed as if his life would end at any moment, and his vital energy was as dangerous as an ember. Since I’ve been under that guy’s magic for a long time, the aftereffects must be severe. You can’t leave it alone. As the ‘Pillar of Dawn’, I decided to save them out of mercy.
Ugh-!
The iron bars were cut off.
I don’t have the healing power of Ushas, but I know how to transmit energy.
They are not hurt. Since his life has been exploited and his strength has run out, his condition will improve just by sharing Dalbi’s power. First, I removed the smelly cloth. Even when they were about to die, they were shaking and did not let go of the cloth. No matter how much you don’t want to show your miserable side, why are you so obsessed?
“huh?”
As soon as the cloth was removed, they crouched in shock.
The restraints on my ankles were so chafing that my skin was swollen, I couldn’t wash it so it smelled bad, and my frightened face was stained with misery and sadness. It was a sad sight, but I calmly focused more on other facts than that.
Origin of Species –
Homo sapiens, existing human beings.
Neanderthals, a species equivalent to humans
Only Homo sapiens exist on Earth. Neanderthals and other species became extinct.
But this world is different. They certainly looked like ‘humans’, but strictly speaking, they were not the same species. The people of this world are not of one type, and typically humans and other ‘races’ are collectively called ‘sub-humans’.
“This development.”
It was a lot more trouble than I expected.
It was a very familiar taste. The Kalbein people hated calling Ajin ‘beasts’. My father, who had encountered Ain a few times, also assessed Ain as a very barbaric and dangerous enemy, but he never ignored them. However, having experienced Earth’s culture, I had no choice but to think of these people as beastmen.
From mythology to modern popular culture.
Humans have continued to imagine.
Although sometimes a dark desire was added.
Since ancient times, we humans have been familiar with their existence.
Half man, half beast, like the Minotaur or Centaur in ancient Greek mythology.
Or ‘Cat Ear Maid’, something like that.
“What should I do?”
I tried to save you.
But since I knew their identity, I had no choice but to hesitate.
Not only the Kunkan Empire and the Sternil Kingdom, but all countries on the Eastern and Western continents define them as ‘enemies’. Although there were few conflicts due to the differences in the land they lived in, there were times when there were major clashes, such as the demi-human war in the West Continent. Even if I rescue them from here right away, how much responsibility do I have? Should we leave the Duchy of Matheland, traverse the Kunkan Empire, pass through the Quarts, cross Kalbane, and protect the Wild Lands?
Each of the fifteen demihumans had different appearances.
His appearance was desperately covered with a smelly cloth.
Pointy ears.
These are the ears of the beast.
It’s definitely not human.
They had the ears of a mammal like a cat, but some also had human ears.
Some had sharp fangs that grew all the way down to their chins. Some have webbed feet instead of soles, and some have wing membranes under their armpits. Some have a bird’s beak instead of a mouth, and some have large and powerful claws like a bear’s instead of the weak fingernails of a human. Half human and half beast. It looks like a mixture of humans and beasts. However, some of them also had features that could not be defined.
A person who is only half my height.
A woman with butterfly wings sprouting from her back.
It looks like a ‘fairy’.
Their appearance was clearly unique, but like humans, they were clearly distinguishable between men and women. The inhabitants of this world may think of them as different from themselves, but I think of them as human beings. I have already experienced a world in chaos. I have fought and sided with beings even more bizarre than demi-humans.
“Hikkeut-”
One of them, who was on guard, made eye contact with me and jerked. She was startled and seemed to have barely managed to hold back her scream. Maybe, from their point of view, it’s me who doesn’t really seem ‘human’. My eyes are probably burning red like the devil right now.
Borrowing from the power of the sacred relic.
I observed the demi-humans while enduring the pounding headache and the pain of my eyeballs that felt like they were going to tear out.
The eyes of God, who could even glimpse their sins, watched them. The demihumans were afraid. Accumulated fear, the screams of the abused. It was nice to see what kind of humiliation he must have suffered from Myhenro.
but.
Nevertheless, no ‘malice’ was felt from the demi-humans.
Rather, from these guys… … .
“Don’t be scared.”
A long time ago, when my father was young, he went on a ‘training’ trip to a wild land.
why?
Now I think I know why.
Why did the wild land become a place of asceticism for spiritualists?
There is no Yeongsu by their side.
However, the power of spirit beast exists within them.
This is my first time seeing Ain.
Are they really like that?
Although it was similar to that of a spiritualist, I felt a completely different power.
They are ‘humans’, not spirit beasts, who possess the power of spirit beasts.
I thought of the residents of Kalbain Village. Although the blood became thinner over the generations, the residents of Kalbain were much stronger and more durable than the people of other regions. Indeed, this was the reason.
Daadaa-
Dalby comforted the children.
“… ah!”

The demihumans who were exclaiming in exclamation soon looked at me as if they were surprised.
“You can see it.”
Even if Dalby was a powerful spiritualist like his father, he could not be seen unless he concentrated.
Noblely, no one could see Dalbi without his permission.
Whether Dalbi gave permission to show his appearance,
Whether the demi-humans are deeply connected to the power of Yeongsu to the point where they can see Dalbi,
It didn’t matter.
The demihumans who were afraid of me until now changed in an instant.
He crawled to my side with difficulty and opened his mouth with pitiful eyes and a trembling voice.
“buy… “Save me.”
“… please.”
“Us.”
“Please take pity on me.”
“Serving the Crescent Moon.”
“Druid.”
People are cunning.
Although it is clearly a good action, there is something sinister lurking inside.
There are also those who truly do good deeds with a heart of service and mercy.
More often than not, we keep our wet and sticky desires hidden.
I also call this feeling ‘deception’.
In simple words, ‘there is a plan’.
Or I think it’s ‘pretending to be cool’.
Acting as you are guided.
Will there be anything to gain by doing so?
Sniff-sniff-
It smells.
The smell of a big fish.
I answered by releasing the restraints that bound the demi-humans.
“I’ll be happy to help you.”
Daa~!
In response to Dalbi’s energy, the demi-humans began to stand up one by one.
* * *
They stole the pirates’ clothes and covered their bodies as much as possible.
While the starving children were eating and changing clothes –
I spoke with one of them, a representative figure.
What happened in the past.
Ain who lived in the hidden desert of the Sternil Desert.
The betrayal of a person I trusted.
A ruined place.
There is no place to return to.
If you want-
Crossing the land of humans who can no longer live.
They want to return to their hometown.
The demi-humans called me ‘Druid’. It seems that the concept of ‘priest’ was added to the roughly similar concept of spiritualist. A druid who worships the moon, you can roughly guess what druids mean to the demihumans. Just because I, a human, can be trusted that much doesn’t mean it’s normal.
We gathered together and had a friendly conversation with the Ain people who had regained their energy.
It was very different from my first impression. I was quite embarrassed by their intimate behavior. From the moment they stopped thinking of me as an enemy, the demi-humans even started to show affection for me. To put it in a good way, they are kind and pure, but to put it in a bad way, they are idiots. My Heno, this chewy. You treat these guys like slaves.
I couldn’t believe how friendly the atmosphere was. The demigods really seemed to believe that I was their savior who would take them to the wild land. It’s not wrong, but is it really possible to trust people this easily? Where have all the Ain, who were said to be ferocious and strong warriors, gone?
“Druid, why are you a druid?”
“… “Do you call that a question?”
“Why did you save us?”
“It just so happened… … .”
“Is Law dead?”
“He was a bad guy.”
“He died.”
“Sigh. sad.”
“He was a bad guy, but I’m sad he died.”
“Why did you kill him?”
“what. Are you blaming me?”
“No! But it is an act of taking life. You did that for us… “Sniff-”
“You’re crying all of a sudden?”
The demi-humans were unpredictable people.
At first glance, a person with a ‘similar smell’ came to mind.
I wonder how Gulshi is doing these days.
“It will be difficult to take us home. We all know! Humans hate us. “I’ve been through a lot because of Ro.”
“Druid. “I can’t put the druid in danger.”
“Thank you for saving us. “We’ll take care of the rest!”
I had a bit of a headache. I asked the representative who I could at least communicate with.
“Luna, do you know where this is?”
“I do not know.”
“If you don’t even know that, how are you going to get to the wild land?”
“I do not know!”
It was an illusion.
A human that resembles a fairy indeed.
“If they encounter a human, they will try to capture or kill them. “What are you planning to do?”
“I will run away!”
“What if I can’t run away?”
“Ugh. “What should I do?”
He was a truly helpless man.
I was left speechless by the wonderful innocence.
When I heard about what happened with My Hen Law, I felt a strange sense of heterogeneity.
okay. That was it. A kindness that saves an outsider who was about to die and even gives away the village’s treasure for raising chickens. It felt like a fairy tale unfolding.
It’s definitely different from humans.
Non-humans who speak the same language as us.
It wasn’t just their appearance and abilities that were different.
Is it nature?
Are all demi-humans as good as they are?
I don’t know.
But what is certain is that the demi-humans in front of me right now are innocent without exception.
“Do not worry.”
“but… … .”
“Have you ever heard of ‘Master’? Or something like ‘Grand Wizard’ or a circle, or a mercenary rating system.”
“I heard it when I was being dragged around by Law. Wow, I was scared. Knights in blue armor. Apparently, I referred to them as ‘masters’!”
“Luna. “Did they look strong to Luna?”
“yes. “More than any beast in the great desert.”
Even among humans called ‘masters’, there is a large gap in power between individuals.
But no matter how strong you are.
Unless you have achieved a higher level, you are only a master.
Unless it’s Benver, the legendary fighting god.
In martial arts, most people are peak masters, transcendent masters, and around there.
But Hwagyeong is different.
“I’m better than them.”
gap-
As big as the gap between a layman and a master.
“Because it’s ten times stronger.”
The gap between the Master and Hwa-kyung is large.
“Oh oh-!”
Although I told the truth, an ordinary human would naturally have said yes, but deep down inside, he would not have believed what I said. However, the demi-humans looked at me with bright eyes, exuding heartfelt exclamations. Oh my god, this is a big deal. It feels like I’m dealing with 15 girls.
Daa.
“Um, would you mind staying here for a moment?”
“yes?”
“I got caught by a fly.”
After hiding the demi-humans in the cabin, I climbed up onto the deck.
