276
Five divine beasts were liberated.
Now all that remains is the final battle.
One who serves the devil.
Kachiki has lost his will and is being controlled by the devil of corruption.
The devil has been rooting his meticulous malice in this land for a very long time.
They had to face a demonic army that surpassed the forces of a great empire.
When I finally told the knights that I was going to the northern land where the Kachiki Empire was established, the mood changed. The pressure applied is different. Even skilled mercenaries and vanguards who had experience fighting demons were very nervous. We didn’t say a word inside McRaney’s giant frog. Interacting with others was not necessary to reflect on each person’s resolution.
“Looking at the map, it looks like it will take five days, Captain.”
“Thank you for your hard work, MacRaney.”
The northernmost tip of the land beyond.
It took five days to reach the devil’s nest, which all demihumans considered ominous.
In the meantime, a quiet daily life with nothing special continued, but the drivers did not relax.
After three days had passed, the majestic appearance of Mount Mosan in the north appeared.
Five days later, we arrived at the mouth of the mountain around sunset. It was a mountain that boasted an imposing height from afar. I heard that it is the highest and most rugged mountain on this continent. Originally, it was a place that the demi-humans considered sacred, calling it Mosan or Mother’s Mountain, but after the devil settled in the land beyond the mountain, Mosan was used as a gateway to hell.
I decided to rest at the mouth of the mountain while the eagle master Zenko scouted.
Zenko’s eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Zenko’s eyes disappeared, and soon the eyes of an eagle took their place. Through the manifestation of her Honil fairy tale, Jenko was able to see her eagle’s vision as if it were his own. Even though an eagle is not a living creature, it is a spirit beast and a tireless scout.
While the eagle climbs the mountain.
The knights took out the food they received from Luna’s village and began cooking.
“It’s the last supper, so eat well!”
When tiger magician Bampi threw all the dried beef jerky into the soup, bat magician Miko looked like an axe and kicked Bampi in the shin.
“Why waste all that precious food when you don’t know what will happen now?”
“Don’t be angry, sister. I was prepared to rip off every inch of my enemy’s flesh. “Hunger is not my enemy.”
“You barbaric bastard. I don’t care if you do it or not! “What should we do?”
Vampy and Miko bickered. Didn’t you say that Vampi was close to fifty? She calls Miko her sister. How old is Miko, who looks like she’s in her twenties? … You also served as Musenion’s student.
The two had known each other for a long time. We argue often, but we don’t fight too much.
In another sense, it can be seen as a good fit.
“If you’re really hungry, I’ll get you something to eat.”
“Are you telling me to eat delicious-smelling animal meat? Ah, the head. “I feel like I’m already getting anemia.”
“What kind of anemia does a bat master have?” … .”
But it was longer than the usual argument. The two are relaxing. While Miko and Bampy were chatting, the soup in the pot began to boil over. The taciturn turtle master Lachi moved to put out the bonfire. However, his power, the ‘wall’, rose higher than expected and even blew the pot away.
“this.”
“I’m going to be amazed.”
Lachi didn’t show it either, but she was afraid.
“It’s terrible.”
“It’s terrible.”
“There is something very dirty out there. leader.”
The vanguards approached and spoke.
All three had stiff faces.
He seemed the most nervous he had been since the decisive battle with the Blood Demon.
Cursed by the devil, the vanguards who wielded the devil’s power were more sensitive to the devil’s power than the spiritualists. They warned me. I feel that the devil beyond that mountain has a more powerful malice than the blood devil.
MacRaney came out of the litter box and sat down next to me. This guy was more honest than others.
“Hold my hand.”
“why? “Are you scared?”
“I can’t stop shaking.”
Everyone was afraid.
There were only two people who were calm amidst the noise.
Narand Jr. and Gulsey sit quietly and pray.
Does faith give you the courage to risk death?
Or is his faith so firm that he believes that no threat can harm him?
A being that one believes in and relies on.
I patted MacRaney’s head and then stood up.
“Gentlemen.”
It’s strange that I’m not afraid.
“Let me ask you something.”
We are not even a platoon.
On the other hand, the enemy is a demonic soldier who is not afraid of tens of thousands of deaths.
If you are discovered, you will meet a pitiful end like a scarab being eaten by a swarm of ants.
“Can I bring down that mountain?”
I said as I pulled out Skade Mer.
The spiritualists thought it was a joke.
“No matter how strong Confucius is, how can he bring down Mount Tai, which is bigger than Quartz?”
“Oh, I guess you’re trying to tell me about the great power of a spiritualist. Spiritual beasts borrow the power of nature, so no matter how strong the enemy is, if he is with nature like that majestic mountain… … .”
I responded, laughing at Vampy’s words.
“under! It’s not such a trivial story. “I can do it.”
Damn it,
Twins.
I f*ucking hated it, but-

I respect them now.
The ‘threat’ has become more dangerous than expected.
What I still fear the most is the twins’ ‘betrayal’.
Better than demi-humans, better than devils, perhaps even more than gods, if there is a god.
It was them who were afraid.
On the other hand, as long as they are on the same side as me.
It is more reassuring than any other being in this world.
No matter how strong an enemy you face, it makes you think, ‘Ah, I’m still a piece of shit compared to this bastard.’ It is a being that relies on it.
“1 second of this life-saving method, a single stroke of power for self-reliance-”
Fierce sword energy spread out in a straight line. The momentum did not die until we reached the high mountain peak. Finally, the sword energy went far away and hit a mountain peak that looked like a small dot. The mountain peak collapsed and a landslide occurred due to a chain reaction. The landslide caused an even bigger disaster, and the collapsed ground spewed out a huge amount of vomit and cut down the mountain. The quiet mountain became noisy with the roar of its collapse, and when the collapse was completed, vomit had flowed all the way to the mouth of the mountain.
“this.”
I smiled shyly and said.
“Hehe, it’s not working yet.”
Unlike Lanista, he could not destroy the mountain in one blow.
If you cause it to collapse dozens of times, it will collapse, but that’s not like collapsing a mountain.
“Ugh.”
“Oh wow… … .”
Although the result was different from the rant.
Fortunately, it seemed to be powerful enough to come as a big shock to the knights.
I should have been someone to rely on.
How I feel about the twins,
I wanted them to feel it for me.
The knights’ expressions changed.
A mind filled with fear is rewritten.
I couldn’t get rid of everything, but
They would once again think about who I am.
I smiled happily while receiving the sparkling eyes of the knights.
Maybe I’m a little cool.
“It is not you who should be afraid. “They are bastards.”
I added a few words while I was talking.
I wasn’t afraid of the devil.
But I felt a different sense of fear.
“And I tell you time and time again, if it’s dangerous, run away. Because someone like Kachiki won’t be able to catch you. Don’t feel sad. To be honest, your job is done now. I won’t touch your pride. You can still grow more. We should use this opportunity as fertilizer and not treat it like the final battlefield. So I… … .”
It was a question that continued to plague me.
Was it really a good idea not to force the knights to return?
Even if someone dies.
Will I be able to ignore it like I did in my ‘past life’?
Maybe it’s me who is the most nervous.
“I will protect you… … .”
“iced coffee-! “Here we go again.”
Kajuwea, who intercepted my words, scratched his head and screamed.
“Aren’t you tired of it? Treating you like a child thrown into the water. Confucius’s heart is so pure that it’s touching, but at this point, we feel so foolish.”
The knights refuted it, starting with her.
“Hmm, the leader really is a person who lives for his own good taste. Zenko and I have survived many battlefields. “I’m better at running away than anyone else.”
“We know. Long term doesn’t even make sense. I’m upset, but I understand. Be honest? Even if I were to risk my life, I wouldn’t risk it.”
They scolded me and told me not to act like a nagging parent.
Many words came to mind, but the words I spoke out while scratching the back of my neck were short.
“Okay, take care of yourself.”
The worn-out emotions were revived.
I was a symbol of bad luck in my past life. All of my comrades who shared the mission were dead.
I was always the one who survived. I, who was neither strong nor special, miraculously survived dozens of annihilations thanks to my weak eye ability. As the years passed, the instructions from above became more explicit. They always put me in missions that couldn’t be performed. I don’t know who it was, but I think there was a superior who wanted to kill me.
Last mission, a blurry memory.
Only the moment of death is clear –
Well, thanks to that, I met three monsters, went through a reincarnation, and came to this moment.
It didn’t matter.
Even if other people die for me to live.
But it’s different now. No, it would be exactly the same.
Me when I was young
Like a stupid nerd boy who dreamed of becoming a hero.
I went back again.
“… But is it real? Just in case, with a sense of heroism… … .”
Now the knights ignored my words and took a break.
* * *
Only after half a day did Zenko’s eagle return.
“Huh-up!”
Zenko, who returned from the state of a fairy tale, collapsed while breathing heavily.
I asked, handing him some warm water.
“Have you seen the devil?”
Zenko drank water with trembling hands. She couldn’t drink most of it and it flowed down the side of her mouth. Zenko, who shook her head vigorously several times with a pale face, spoke in a hoarse voice.
“haha. Please bring me some chalk and a note board.”
Jenko held up the note board MacRaney had brought and took several deep breaths.
“Beyond that mountain… The Evil Empire, the Tower of Heart, and… giant… malice.”
He drew a picture on the note board.
The pained expression became more distorted until one picture was completed.
“Wow, this guy is good at drawing. “I think you can draw as well as a Quartz painter, master!”
“What is this?”
“Is it a tower? “What did you build it with?”
Others didn’t understand.
I could roughly guess what he was drawing.
Tens of thousands of Kachiki troops.
A tower built with the heart of Ajin.
pyramid. Human sacrifice.
The red river is a river that flows with blood.
A fortress with a bizarre appearance.
Inside the fortress-
‘Malicious’ painted in black.
“Zenko, have you seen the devil?”
“that… that… “I couldn’t see it.”
I gave Dalby’s power to Zenko, who was shaking.
As a spiritualist, he regained stability as his body was filled with the energy of the star.
“The malice was so strong that my ‘eyes’ could not contain it.”
“Okay, good job. “It will be of great help.”
Zenko couldn’t see the devil, but he found the nest where the devil lived.
I found the location. It was a great achievement. The real Zenko explained the situation in more detail. The real enemy was not the Kachiki. Kachiki were workers and slaves – they removed the hearts of demi-humans and offered them to the devil. The Tower of Heart was an offering to the devil.
“They even tear out their own hearts… “I’m offering it to the devil.”
“Is it evolution?”
Miko asked.
“… “Evolution?”
“Kachiki was both food and fertilizer. “To summon a more powerful demon.”
“It’s ominous. Hmm, somehow it seems like what we have to do is becoming clear… … .”
Kachiki’s army has already ‘failed’. They were obviously blocked by powerful armies and divine beasts, so they were unable to completely dominate the land beyond. The same was true for human invasions of land. The demon of corruption knew that no matter how much Kachiki attacked, it would be useless. So he wanted to arm his army with stronger demons. To achieve this, tens of thousands of Kachiki will be disposed of without any regrets. Because he’s a devil-
“Now might be a golden opportunity.”
The demon army is not yet complete.
Most of the Kachiki army is also in the process of being ‘bifurcated’, so their numbers will be smaller than expected.
“I guess the number of devils is key.”
“In some cases, we may have to split up and fight.”
“No, but there are too few of them.”
Kachiki is controlled by the devil of corruption.
It’s just an empty shell that has been robbed of its soul.
But if you just kill the main body, they will get their soul back.
The white snake told me.
“Are you really going to come to your senses?”
[yes. When the corruption disappears, the soul that was dominated becomes free.]
The white snake answered with confidence.
Kachiki were originally inhabitants of the land beyond.
Melissa is conducting research to return Kachiki to an Ajin. Maybe it has already been completed. But she won’t tell this to her knights.
“The priority target is the demon of corruption. We could probably use the McRaney crackers to get to that guy’s fortress. The cunning bastard will concentrate the enemy’s forces into the fortress to stop me. You face the swarming demons while I kill the demons of corruption. Damn it, I’ll say it one more time even if you don’t want to hear it. This is not a mission. It’s just a ‘recommendation’. Fight while protecting McRaney first, and run away as soon as there is even the slightest danger. “This is an order.”
“Frog- But… … .”
“It’s an order.”
MacRaney’s cheeks puffed out like a frog, but he no longer pouted.
