216. Flower garden (2)
“Are you serious, my lord?”
Seongjin tilted his head as he looked at Louise’s confused face.
why? If you have the ability to take control of a group of people, isn’t this the first thing you should think about?
If possible, make Rod a subordinate. I think this is the best way to find out what they’re doing. It would be better if it could be prevented altogether.
“It doesn’t seem to be such a simple matter.”
Realizing that Seongjin was sincere, Louise looked down the cliff and made an embarrassed face.
“First of all, those Lycanslopes probably don’t even know what they’re doing. If you were in your right mind, you wouldn’t fall off a cliff like that. Just from the feeling conveyed here, you can tell that they have almost no reason left. Even if I made him a subordinate, I doubt there would be anything he could find out. There… … .”
And her eyes turn to Lycan Slope Road.
A ferocious lycanthrope that is much larger than other individuals, has red fur, and even wears a necklace.
“There’s something about that ‘road’ that bothers me a little. On the surface, it seems like that entity is controlling all of Lycan Slope, but perhaps because of my mood, my senses feel like that is not the end.”
“It’s not the end?”
“yes. I can’t feel any real sense from that entity either. This is such a strange thing. Even when he was looking for me and threatening my territory, I thought he definitely felt a strong will towards me. “Is that really the Lycan Slope Road?”
Ah, I think I can give you the answer.
I heard this or that from my father.
“It’s probably because that ‘lord’ is also someone’s servant. That one is probably the strongest of the pure-blooded Lycanslopes. And the real Lycan Slope Lord who has that guy as his servant is none other than Berseus Dashiano, the master of the old spirit of Dashian.”
Louise’s eyes widened at those words.
He seemed perplexed as to how on earth Seongjin knew such a thing.
“Really. “I heard this from the most reliable source.”
Seongjin confidently confirmed. These are the words of God’s representative.
Louise, who had been carefully considering something, nodded.
“yes. The basis is not clear, but it sounds quite reasonable. Assuming that there is someone else controlling that rod, all the discomfort I felt makes sense. “This is the difference between when he directly controls it and when he only carries out orders.”
Just like when she directly controlled Max.
“If so, that creates another problem, Sir. “We still don’t really know the abilities of the Marquis d’Arciano.”
Lycan Slope can distribute power to his subordinates according to his capabilities. Just as Max, a wolf dog who could not use aurors at all, expanded his body and used Schnee Shuhe freely.
In that case, it is unclear how strong the fake rod over there will become, contrary to what it appears to be.
Since they are already pure-blooded Lycanslopes, their physical conditions will be superior to Louise’s.
“Furthermore, it is dangerous to try to make someone your subordinate directly. If you are already a member of someone else’s family, there will be a mental struggle with me over control. The worst case scenario is that I could end up under his control.”
hmm. The number of such cases was not taken into account.
Seongjin was lost in thought for a moment as he touched the handle of the nutcracker.
‘But no matter how I look at it, I think the answer is to take away what that fake Lord is holding… … .’
I want to quickly catch that guy, finish him off, and go home.
The worries didn’t last long.
“Louise, let me ask you two questions.”
The prince’s gray eyes looking down at the lycan slopes looked unusually serious, and Louise nodded without realizing it.
“Yes, please speak, sir.”
“first. “Can you point your sword at the lycanthropes?”
That’s what it takes from the beginning.
From a human’s perspective, they are just demonic beasts threatening the territory, but Louise is both a human and a lycanthrope. Wouldn’t they feel that they are massacring their poor compatriots who are not in their right mind?
Then the girl smiled bitterly for a moment and then answered with a determined expression.
“It’s not like we don’t have any experience killing them. They are fully aware that there is no turning back and that I must live as a human from now on. Even if I don’t feel like it, it won’t be enough to hold me back when I need it.”
“Okay, then the second question.”
Seongjin looked back at Louise and slightly raised one corner of his mouth.
“Let’s assume that the Marquis d’Aciano manipulates that fake Lord and exerts the utmost power he has. So do you think he can take on Vincent Sigismund?”
“… … .”
Louise pursed her lips for a moment. Because it was difficult for him to answer that question right away.
If the Lycanslope Lord reaches his full potential, will he be able to surpass Old Man Vincent, the Dekaron Knight?
What does that mean, if it’s not just Dekaron Knight, is it worth doing?
“I don’t know much about Marquis d’Arciano, but I am at least certain that he is not a Decaron Knight. So no matter how strong the moving body is… … .”
“okay.”
Seongjin nodded with a carefree expression.
Then it’s okay.
Louise, who was looking at his face closely, sighed and took off the shoes she was wearing.
I wonder where that confidence came from, but when I look at the prince, I feel like it’s not just empty words, so it’s really strange.
“Why the shoes again?”
“You never know when you’ll transform, right? “These are expensive new shoes that I bought a while ago.”
“Oh, I see.”
Seongjin, who answered calmly, picked up Max, who was whining next to him, and spoke.
“Then, shall we go down here first?”
* * *
Slurp.
The two came down the cliff easier than expected. In the meantime, it was thanks to Seongjin’s Schunishuhe progressing further.
Although it was not easy to maintain balance as he was holding a large dog in his arms, Seongjin imitated Louise and slid down the cliff without much difficulty.
“A person who uses Aurors so skillfully, why was he shivering from the cold back then?”
Hearing Louise’s voice mutter in confusion, Seongjin just shrugged his shoulders.
What should I do about something boring and annoying?
And the two hid Max and his luggage under a large rock.
Whine!

Seongjin wrapped a rope around the dog’s neck while comforting Max, who was desperately trying to catch up. It was found in Louise’s backpack.
“I’ll come pick you up right away, so just stay here for a moment. huh?”
They were steadily reducing their numbers by falling off cliffs themselves, but there were still quite a few lycan slopes left. If you don’t attack with Auror concealment and reduce the number of people as much as possible, you will have a hard time.
“You must never cry or anything. I’m getting scolded. got it?”
Seongjin gave a stern warning.
Then Max looked at Seongjin with a resentful expression, stopped whining, and started biting the leash with his teeth.
“let’s go.”
Convinced that Max understood what he said, Seongjin winked at Louise and cast Auror Concealment.
Louise, who was looking at them curiously, also followed closely behind him, completely hiding her presence.
“I don’t know how you are able to communicate with Max even though you are not of the same race. It’s amazing that the engraving was done properly in the first place. “I thought I could sense a familiar presence from you somewhere.”
Come to think of it, from the first time she saw Seongjin, she asked him if he was one of her compatriots.
“But will you be okay? “If it’s a rope like that, Max will break it in no time.”
“Yes, of course.”
If it doesn’t break, you’re in trouble.
You just need to be able to hold off until the first few surprise attacks are successful. What if another demon we haven’t found attacks Max in the meantime?
Luise’s face fell as she heard Seongjin’s answer. Although his way of thinking seems simple, he is secretly a person with many thoughts.
Meanwhile, Seongjin astutely examined the surrounding terrain and the distribution of lycan slopes. At dawn, the number of demonic beasts that numbered in the dozens fell from the cliff one by one, and before we knew it, the number had decreased to around ten.
Seongjin, who quickly completed the calculations, gave simple instructions.
“Let’s start from the edge. “I go from the right, Louise, you go from the left.”
And before Louise even nodded.
Hwiiing.
With the wind blowing from somewhere around his body, Seongjin jumped into the back of a lycanthrope that was looking up at the cliff.
Phew.
The nutcracker pierced his left side, avoiding his ribs and digging deep into his chest in a diagonal direction. According to the calculations, this is probably where the guy’s heart is located.
This was because the height of the smallest Lycan Slope was basically over 2.5 meters, and it was judged that it would not be easy to cut the thick muscles of the body to the heart by cutting honestly from behind.
Fortunately, the blade loaded with aura easily cut through the beast’s tough muscles like tofu.
Hehe!
Sensing the beast’s flinching reaction, Seongjin turned his body half a turn while fixing his hilt, and slashed the nutcracker diagonally downwards.
Crackling.
The sword that cut deep into the chest pain is pulled out, scraping the spine. Lycanslope, whose spine and part of the spinal cord were cut off in the process, eventually fell to the ground helplessly, spewing out blood.
Wow!
Crrr!
Only then did the Lycan Slopes, who felt something strange, look back at Seongjin.
Meanwhile, Luise, who had rushed to the left of the guys, went straight into the heart of one of the magic beasts that was turning.
Boom! Wow!
The heavy bastard sword, wrapped in a dark purple aura, sliced through the beast’s ribs and ripped out its heart in one go.
It was an incredibly exciting move that was hard to believe since he had never swung a sword properly until now, hiding his skills.
Choi ah!
Fountains of hot blood splatter on the cold, icy floor.
‘haha!’
Seongjin, reassured by the movement without any hesitation, immediately headed towards the next target.
Paang!
He jumped up with Aura wrapped around his legs, and powerfully stabbed the lycanthrope, which was still unable to understand the situation, from the bottom up.
Phew!
Whoops!
Seongjin, who stumbled and stepped on the body of the creature that was slowly falling backwards, was able to hold on to the nutcracker that was deeply dug in, so he was able to face the creature’s face directly.
That fleeting moment. Shock and doubt flashed through the beast’s eyes, which were blurred and bloodshot.
Stumbling.
When the guy belatedly swung his arm helplessly towards the intruder on his chest, Seongjin was already pulling out a nutcracker and kicking the guy’s body.
Gurgling.
Instead of crying out loud, the guy fell down spewing bright red phlegm.
Paang!
Seongjin turned around as he stepped on the cliff and quickly ran towards the next guy who started barking and baring his fangs.
Kaang!
Sharp nails block Seongjin’s sword. Next, a fist was quickly swung at his head, but Seongjin, who slipped away, deflected the sword and slashed the man’s abdomen.
Cough!
The thing stumbles with a scream. But unfortunately, this time it was not fatal.
Clumping.
As if it were a separate, living creature, its muscles quickly contracted and began to stop the bleeding on their own. They were a race whose regenerative power was unrivaled.
‘If things continue like this, you’ll get better soon, right?’
I was about to swing my sword without missing the hesitating guy, but other Lycan Slopes rushed towards Seongjin at the same time.
Woooooo-
Crrr! Kkkkkkkk!
‘this!’
I gave up on finishing it and dodged the fierce claws and punches, but then directly struck the threatening claws coming from the front with my sword.
visor! Quad deuk!
With a growl and a growl in his throat, Lycanslope grabbed the nutcracker with his other hand.
He was cut by a blade carrying an Aura and was bleeding, but he was glaring fiercely with red, bloodshot eyes, so it seemed like he was very poisoned.
Although his reason was blurred, the basic concept of cooperation remained, and while he was arguing with the guy, other Lycan Slopes rushed towards Seongjin.
However, Seongjin is not the kind of person who will give such a chance.
Ugh.
By focusing all of my body’s aura on the nutcracker, I was able to forcefully wrench the sword from the ignorant man’s grasp.
Seongjin pulled out his sword and urgently lowered his posture to avoid the incoming punch.
Hehehe!
The guy with both hands completely tangled up makes a pitiful cry and retreats. Seongjin quickly pulled her body out of the gap and looked at the surrounding situation for a moment.
Perhaps it was because they went on a rampage first, but most of the Lycan Slopes seemed to rush towards Seongjin. Thanks to this, Louise was able to maintain a relatively leisurely attack and defense against the remaining demon beasts.
In the meantime, the fake Lord just stands there blankly, as if he still hasn’t figured out the situation.
‘… … ?’
I felt a strange sense of discomfort for a moment, but I didn’t have time to observe it properly. This is because other lycan slopes rushed in fiercely.
A fierce battle continued for a while.
However, since each individual’s combat power had its limits, it was probably only a matter of time in the end. Unable to withstand the hit-and-run attack that cleverly used the terrain of the canyon, the Lycan Slopes fell to the ground one by one, spattering blood.
That was when Seongjin left the last two lycanthropes.
“Lowering!”
Suddenly, Louise’s voice was heard calling him urgently from behind.
“… … ?”
When I turned my head, I saw Louise with wide eyes, looking up at something and breathing heavily.
Seongjin, who had been following her gaze without thinking, was momentarily taken aback.
“… … !”
The red Lycan Slope Road where I was just standing there dumbly.
For some reason, that guy was frozen in place, looking down at Seongjin and Louise, tears like chicken droppings.
