◈ Episode 121 The King of All Vicious Beasts (3)
“Come on, run!”
Casey ran without hesitation as he watched the inside of the auction hall shake.
Her assistant Betty, 3rd Princess Erendir, and knight Enya followed her.
coogu palace.
The walls are cracked, and booth dust is falling from the ceiling.
It was only a matter of time before the ceiling collapsed at this rate.
It was all because of the aftermath of the battle going on outside.
“Exit soon!”
The four women energized their legs as they watched the light pouring in from the end of the dark hallway.
Two knight-level body specs, two wizards capable of strengthening the body.
The four of them were able to escape safely without catching each other’s ankles.
Quarreung!
As soon as the four of them escaped safely, the aisle they came out of collapsed.
I felt a chill run down my spine thinking that if I had been a little late, I might have been crushed under the rubble.
But they couldn’t easily harbor the impression that they had lived.
It was because I was overwhelmed by the scenery in front of me as soon as I came out.
“I-what is that?”
Erendir muttered in a trembling voice.
In her gaze, a monster with a huge black mane was caught confronting the Knights of Ledervelk.
Three heads resembling wolf skulls and countless boil-like jaws growing on the body.
“The monster of Jebodang?”
Casey, who recognized the monster’s identity at once, opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
When Enya heard the murmur, she asked back in surprise.
“yes? Wait. If it’s the monster of the Jebodang, isn’t it the same monster that was active in the Dourman Kingdom’s Jebodang five years ago?”
“Yes, it is.”
“But how? Apparently, the monster in Jebodang was known to have died five years ago.”
“He actually died. Part of that corpse is still kept in the Royal Museum of Durman Kingdom.”
Just, Casey continued.
“Unlike the corpse I saw back then, the details of this guy are different.”
Especially the two legs that can be called front feet.
The corpse of the monster in Jebodang she saw was a little more beastly than what she was seeing in front of her.
Of course, the monster in front of me also has the appearance of a beast, but what should I say about the overall shape?
The guy who was playing the game now was a little closer to a human figure.
Because the forepaws that they wield mercilessly had a shape close to that of a human ‘hand’ rather than that of a quadrupedal beast.
Of course, seeing the heads of all kinds of animals hanging from his hands, he even thought of that.
‘Certainly different from the corpses I’ve seen. In the case of the corpse in Durmand Kingdom, it was said that nearly 70% of the body had been lost, but there is no way I would not recognize it.’
A monster that ate several knights belonging to the kingdom.
The monster of Jebodang, who gave the terrible day of the bloody night, met its end at the hands of the great hunter <Abraham Van Helsing>.
And Casey was guessing that the person named Van Helsing might be another identity of the person named <James Moriarty> whom he was pursuing.
If so, now.
Is it really a coincidence that the monster of Jebodang appears here?
Casey’s head tightened.
Her head thought maybe, and calculated the worst possibility.
‘Professor Moriarty. What are you planning to do in this city?’
Casey clenched his fists.
A lifelong nemesis he must capture, and the only wall he has never been able to overcome.
He was somewhere in this city now.
‘The man is here.’
last 3 years.
Casey has been making bone-chilling efforts to outrun him.
That’s how he got the title of color as a magician and reached the present.
Promise me that next time we meet, we won’t miss it.
So, make sure to grab it this time.
‘But first than that.’
Her gaze turned to the monster of the Jebodang, who ran amok like a mad dog.
Every time he swings his tail, the surroundings are swept away.
That is not a living thing, but more like a living, breathing natural disaster.
‘We have to subdue that rampaging monster. So that the damage doesn’t increase any more.’
Her purpose hasn’t changed at all since then.
We strive to make a better world.
Now, isn’t it that he has followed the words of his late grandfather and staked his honor so far?
Casey moved.
Just in time, the giant arm of the monster of Jebodang was falling on the heads of the people trying to escape.
Her magical energy moved, and at that moment ‘water’ reacted.
Chow!
The sewage spewing out from the cracked ground followed Casey’s will and turned into a whip, trapping the monster in Jebodang.

The movement of the monster of the Jebodang, which did not budge even with the clockwork knights’ joint attack, stopped.
The flowing water squeezed the monster’s body like a giant snake.
“I-I stopped that monster’s movement?”
“What a skill!”
The Clockwork Knights, who were fighting against the monster of the Jebodang, shouted in surprise.
Casey, who had staged the absurd scene, shouted, frowning.
‘What power… … !’
Her hands that handled the water trembled.
A large amount of water of more than tens of tons was invested in tying all the animals.
Even so, this side was gradually being pushed back from power.
‘At this level, it’s enough to easily overturn a tank!’
Kwaaaaaaa!!!
The monster’s left head roared.
The bizarre waves of the terrible, even gloomy shouts permeated the water that bound him.
Perong!
The water that was binding the monster’s arms burst out like an explosion.
“what?!”
Casey gritted his teeth and tried to draw more water, but he didn’t move as easily as he wanted.
‘Interference is not working properly. There’s something in that cry!’
Casey keenly analyzed the monster’s abilities.
There is something stirring in magical power in its cries.
Are you saying that he’s not just a big guy?
It wasn’t for nothing that on that day five years ago, even the magicians were out of breath and couldn’t subdue the monster of the Jebodang.
‘But if I’m pushed back, I can’t be called a wizard with the title of color!’
Her main magic is ‘water’ after all.
In an environment where water exists, she was able to demonstrate power comparable to that of a god.
And there was plenty of water in this city of Laedervelk.
The mighty Ramseys River runs through the center of the city, and the water flows through sewer pipes that spread like veins throughout the city.
Because all of that was her weapon.
Wow!
The stream of water spouting through the cracks became stronger.
It soon formed in the air and changed into the form of a knight wearing countless armor.
Behind them, the water knights with two pairs of fairy wings rushed towards the monster of Jebodang.
“Are you an army?! It’s your chance! Drive us too!”
The Clockwork Knights did not miss the golden opportunity.
they were knights
The sudden magic support was surprising, but those who were not foolish enough to admire it were not.
Every time the tip of the sword containing the aura flashes, the head of the beast on the body of the monster in Jebodang is cut off one by one.
Black blood poured from the cut end.
Wow!!!
The monster of the Jebodang screamed at the pain felt throughout his body.
The Clockwork Knights and the Water Knights hacked at his body from all sides.
Red eyes full of hatred captured a wizard who handles water.
The beast’s instinct knew who the most dangerous person in this place was.
aww woo woo
The right head opened its mouth wide and let out a howl.
Casey noticed that the crying was different from before.
The proof was that the water knights she handled were fine.
‘Isn’t it a shout that interferes with magic? Then what the hell are you trying to do?’
The answer to that question came quickly.
Black shadows arose in piles all over the city.
Casey felt goosebumps running down his spine.
“Me-what is that!”
Others who recognized it were also surprised.
“Ouch! What, what is this!”
“Get rid of the rats!”
“Where on earth do you get so many rats?!”
What emerged from the crack was a giant rat.
The procession of tens of thousands of rats beyond hundreds of thousands was like watching a black wave.
It wasn’t just a bunch of mice.
There were also stray cats and wild dogs among the mice.
They appeared from all sides as if they were one body, and rushed at the people.
‘Nonsense! You say you command another beast?’
Casey, unable to hide her astonishment, used her magical energy to create a large barrier of water around her.
A swarm of rats, which were stampeding towards her, are swept away by the water.
However, the vacancy was quickly filled by another swarm of rats.
This is one of the abilities of the monster in Jebodang that caused nightmares at night.
If the cry from the left side of the head interfered with the operation of magic power.
The cry on the right head exerts control over all beasts.
Because he is the king of beasts, he rules over all beasts, and even the beast form Cryptid is no exception.
It is said that the night of blood was an event caused by the abnormal proliferation of countless cryptids, but if you dig deeper, it turns out that a single existence was the root of everything.
That is the monster of Jebodang.
It is the king of all ferocious beasts.
It was this monster that reigned over the nightmare night.
“Hee!”
Casey, seeing the mouse approaching her ankle, let out a whimper.
She kept it a secret from others, but she didn’t like rats very much.
No, if I had to say it, it was closer to being scared.
Known as Braveheart, she was actually rat-phobic.
“Go away!”
Casey’s legs gave out, and he sat down in his seat.
Even as she shouted that with a tear-stained face, she didn’t stop handling the water towards the monster in Jebodang.
If we stop here, that monster will savagely devour others.
Casey bit her lip.
Suddenly, a mouse climbed up her calf and reached her thigh.
“Casey!”
Then Betty stepped out.
Betty violently grabbed the swarm of mice clinging to Casey and threw them away.
With every movement of Betty’s slender legs, a wave of rats erupted.
As if that wasn’t enough, she lifted the wreckage of the collapsed building with both hands and swung it around.
The figure of her wielding a steel pole that was bigger than her own size was literally like a mythical warrior.
“I will help too!”
Erendir also stepped forward and protected Casey with magic.
By Erendir’s side, Enya also slaughtered a group of rats with a portable sword in her hand.
“thank you for helping me!”
Thanks to Casey, he was able to fully focus on the monster of the report party.
The water knights bursting out after being hit by the monster’s hand and tail permeated into the wolf’s wounds as they collapsed.
At the same time, it became countless thorns from the inside and hit the inside.
Wow!
The monster of the Jebodang let out a scream full of pain.
The beasts of the city responded to the king’s cry. A swarm of rats, wild dogs, and stray cats that were trying to attack people all rushed at Casey.
“Casey! Do you think that monster is really pissed off?! Beasts are coming!”
“Hold on, Betty! The safety of the citizens comes first!”
“We are dying!”
Ignoring Betty’s horrified cries, Casey glared at the monster of the Jebodang.
All you have to do is wait until the citizens who have not been able to evacuate safely evacuate.
But can he and his colleagues be safe?
maybe die
still… … If only I could save people.
It was the moment I was about to think so.
‘what?’
Out of nowhere, the monster of the Jebodang raises its head and looks in a different direction.
At the same time, the waves of beasts that were about to kill us also stopped as if time had stopped.
“Uh, huh? A swarm of rats suddenly.”
“Did the monster stop?”
The murderous intent that had choked her breath disappeared like a mirage.
Casey was taken aback when she saw that the monster who had been glaring at her to death just moments before had changed his attitude like flipping his palm.
‘Why all of a sudden… … .’
He has a wild sense of place, instantly recognizing who is most dangerous to him.
That’s why even when the Clockwork Knights slaughtered her body, they ignored it and aimed at her.
The monster of the report party turned his attention to her?
If so, there was only one reason.
──It was when the apex predator appeared, which was judged to be much more threatening than her.
Kreurreung.
The monster of the Jebodang growled lowly.
A shabby cry contrasted with the loud cry a moment ago.
Casey’s innate judgment caught the delicate emotional fragments of that cry.
It’s anger and irritation.
and… … .
‘fear?’
fear?
Casey, who unknowingly analyzed it, was taken aback.
Because it made no sense that the monster, a nightmare itself, should harbor fear.
Casey, as if possessed, stared at the direction the monster of the report party was facing.
Just in time, the clouds in the sky parted and the soft moonlight descended.
There was a black shadow there.
To be precise, the person wearing the shadow.
A black cloak fluttering over his shoulders in a black suit.
And even the mask of the crow’s beak on the face.
The figure holding a large cane in one hand was like watching an actor on a well-organized stage.
Casey recognized him and opened her eyes. His pupils constricted, and his lips trembled.
How can I not know?
how can i not know
Even if you hide your face and put a shadow on your body.
I will never forget the distant presence I faced then.
“James Moriarty… … !”
The biggest nemesis in her life appeared at this very moment.
