Episode 102 Nostalgic and Missing (2)
Bikir opened his eyes.
I slept well without a single nightmare.
I always slept half awake to prepare for an ambush or other disaster, but this time I woke up from a sound sleep, defenseless as if I was really dead.
Of course, when I woke up, the wounds on my body were completely healed.
It was partly because of the bog salamander’s ability to regenerate, but also because all kinds of good medicines healed the inside and outside of the body.
“… … Where is it?”
Bikir lifted his upper body.
It was covered with a soft, furry, clean cotton duvet spread over dry straw.
Moreover, even the medicinal materials and various splints covering the whole body.
Looking inside, it was inside Balak’s barracks, and it was a room structure that was quite familiar.
Looking down, he saw the owner of the room asleep at Bikir’s feet.
It was Iyen.
The moment Bikir tries to open his mouth.
“… … Are you awake?”
A voice came from the entrance of the barracks.
Aquila. The night fox was looking down at Vikir.
She had aged quite a bit in the few days I hadn’t seen her.
Shaded cheeks and shadows under the eyes.
The years she had been suppressing by force all this time were flowing again.
Aquila sat down beside Bikir’s bed. Then she glanced back at Ai Yen who was sleeping next to her and said.
“Iyen, this guy carried you fainting on his back. Running down and down for three days and three nights.”
Is that why? Ai Yen, who had run with all her might without eating or sleeping for days, was now asleep at Bikir’s feet.
“… … .”
Bikir looked down at Iyen, who was sleeping with her toe tightly clamped, and was silent for a moment.
Aquila asked Bikir.
“What the hell happened?”
Bikir hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“I tried to kill Madam… … .”
Madame’s complete death. Vikir couldn’t confirm it to the end. That’s why he only opened his mouth about the process before that.
“I didn’t think I would be able to overcome it with my own strength, so I dropped it to the bottom of the peak and barely won. Of course, it was quite difficult to pull him out of the deep hole and push him down the cliff… … It’s just that I was lucky. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t definitely cut off Madame’s breath.”
Bikir said calmly, but in fact this was a great surprise.
Madam, who has been tormenting the natives of the Sea of Water for so many years, has finally been exterminated by a young hero.
The natives no longer had to offer sacrifices.
I was able to use the light to my heart’s content even on a dark night, and I no longer had to hold my breath on a stormy night.
This was an achievement enough to be praised as the savior of all the tribes that exist in the sea of water.
Aquila expressed amazement throughout the entire time she listened to Bikir’s words.
And soon, Aquila told what Vikir was curious about.
“After you passed out, Madame ran away from the spot. Balak’s warriors followed you, but the miasma around them was too strong to approach. Rescuing you was all I could do.”
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but as Madame ran away, she sprayed deadly poison all over the place.
Because of the poison fog created by the volatilization, the warriors and wolves couldn’t end her breath.
but.
Aquila said with a determined expression.
“But Madame would be dead by now.”
As Bikir turned his head, Aquila affirmed.
“The wound never lasts long.”
That’s right. Madam’s entire body was crushed and various vital organs were lost.
The core internal organs such as the heart, heart, lungs, intestines, etc. all protruded out of the body and stretched to the point of being dragged on the floor, and the exoskeleton called the exoskeleton was all smashed.
The bone marrow had even split open and the brain inside it had been torn into several pieces, so the odds of the madam surviving were extremely slim.
Aquila had a reason for being so sure.
“Furthermore. The place where the madam fled is ‘Cold Valley’, which is famous for being cold even in floods. It’s a place where the ice is frozen even in July. A body so battered cannot withstand the harsh climate there.”
in other words. The madam will either die from her injuries, or starve to death from immobility, or freeze to death from the freezing cold.
No matter how you look at it, there was no other fate in front of the madam than death.
Therefore, Vikir became the hero of the flood that killed Madam.
“A hero is an overestimation.”
Bikir shook his head in a gesture of humility, and Aquila smiled dryly.
“Is this too much of a compliment?”
As soon as Aquila finished speaking, she quickly removed the curtain at the entrance to the barracks.
and that moment.
“… … !”
Bikir could only keep his eyes wide open.
Outside the barracks, at first glance, there was an enormous crowd of more than four figures.
All of them knelt down, closed their eyes, and put their hands together in prayer.
“I hope for the recovery of Bikir, the hero of the flood. Please pray for us… … .”
Ballack, Rococo, Renaissance, etc. Not only the bold tribes of the sea, but also the minority tribes with never-before-seen appearances and costumes.
The way they prayed was different, but the bar they were praying for was the same.
Everyone with one heart and one mind surrounded Bikir’s barracks and was offering sacrifices.
and soon.

Ooh-wow!
Seeing Bikir awaken, they stomped their feet in unison, raised their voices, and let out a roar of joy.
It was the moment when the entire tribe of Suhae was united under Vikir’s achievements.
* * *
That night.
All series of processes and incidents came to a calm end.
The festival of eating, drinking, and enjoying the night, and the memorial service for the dead ended at the same time.
Survivors drink and get drunk in a sense of mission, sadness, relief or joy, and make new resolutions.
And the night when everything was over and quiet.
“… … .”
Vikir closed her eyes and checked her body condition.
‘I got it back. The heyday before the return.’
Deep inside the body, I can feel the aura bubbling and bubbling.
This thick aura, which has been extremely narrowed down and sticky to the limit, is now thought to be closer to a solid than a liquid.
The highest grade of a graduate. This was also the stage Bikir had reached before returning.
In addition, Baskerville’s advanced swordsmanship was added.
The sixth tooth you drew when dealing with Madam.
And before I knew it, an additional small tooth had sprouted behind it.
Baskerville’s seventh ceremony.
The seventh tooth that surpasses meat eating.
Vikir was able to create a seventh tooth, albeit a small one, after a desperate struggle with Madam.
I don’t know the detailed reason myself, but I can only see it as a phenomenon that appeared naturally as the understanding of the group deepened at the moment of crisis.
He had completely regained his fighting power during his heyday before returning, and even obtained the 7th set of Baskerville.
Considering that Vikir’s swordsmanship before returning was only 4, and that the current head of the Baskervilles, Hugo Les Baskervilles, had 7 swordsmanship, this was truly an incredible achievement.
‘But Hugo is a sword master.’
No matter how much he has the same level of swordsmanship, Hugo is a master.
Although Bikir is a top grader, he has not yet been able to break down the master’s wall.
‘… … Still, he achieved a level at 17 that he had reached at 40, so it is a business that remains for a long time.’
Maybe someone else would faint if they knew this.
Even the previous sword masters of the Baskerville family, who were called the best equipment in history, could not achieve this level of achievement.
Furthermore, Bikir was confident that even if he competed 1:1 with the Sword Master, he would not be pushed back unilaterally.
‘If it’s not sparring, but a life-and-death struggle… … It’s not like there’s no chance.’
Bikir’s eyes lit up as he remembered Hugo’s face.
At the same time, Baalzebub, a demonic sword that had grown much longer than before, pulled out a blade from the artery in his wrist.
… Poududeuk!
The red pattern inscribed on the black sword body, Baalzebub, had more ominous energy than before.
The reason is… …
<The gluttonous fly ‘Baalzebub’> / Awl
-1 slot: Deadly Poison – Madame Eight Legs (S)
-2 slot: Silent Hill – Monsieur Hushu (A+)
-Slot 3: Super-fast regeneration – Bog Salamander (A+)
It was because of the huge specter that had recently joined.
Madame Eight Legs.
After part of her soul became a specter and dwelled in Baalzebub, this dangerous weapon became even more lethal.
extreme poison.
It is because the madam’s terrifying malice dwells, which can cause death even in a very small amount.
For a while, Chan-chan looked over the result obtained from killing Madame Bikir.
at that time. Suddenly, Bikir’s thoughts went elsewhere.
‘Come to think of it… … What about this?’
The place where Bikir turned his gaze was the bosom of the black cloak he was wearing.
When I put my hand into the inside pocket, I felt the texture as expected.
One soft little ball.
This large black ball bobbed gently in Vikir’s hand.
This was the egg laid by Madame Eight Legs.
During the battle, Madame ate the eggs she laid one by one to recover her physical strength. This was the last egg left by Madame.
It was picked up by Bikir at random.
‘I saw it the moment I fell, so I picked it up… … I didn’t know that it wouldn’t explode even in the shock of the fall.’
The egg was quite durable even after that.
No matter how many times you hit it with your fist, it doesn’t break, perhaps because it has such good elasticity.
It seems that the others didn’t know what these black eggs were, so they left them alone… … .
“Hmm, can you hatch it?”
Since they left their mother’s arms, there was a high possibility that even healthy eggs would not hatch properly.
It could have been unfertilized in the first place, or it could have been upset.
Bikir first kept the egg in his bosom.
Thinking that one day it might be used as a research material.
‘… … Should I leave now?’
Bikir collapsed and lay down on a pile of straw.
Over the past two years, I have seen, heard, and experienced many things here in floodwaters.
And it was an experience that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
He completely regained his fighting ability before returning and learned various important knowledge.
But I couldn’t live here forever.
There was still a lot of work left to do when I went back.
‘… … someday. If one day I finish all my plans It would be okay to come back here then.’
Just when Bikir is recalling his plans for the future.
boom boom-
Someone knocked on the curtain of the barracks.
Before long, someone entered the barracks where Bikir was lying.
wheein-
The dewy night wind blows in and extinguishes the candles in the barracks.
“… … ?”
Vikir looked at the shadows cast over the darkness.
Iyen.
She was looking down at Bikir with her back to the dark blue night sky and the Milky Way with countless stars.
… … together?
“Bikir.”
Iyen’s voice calling Bikir is quite serious like never before.
Even though she’s always taciturn and serious… … Today, for some reason, he was wearing a particularly spleen-looking expression.
yet.
Ayen came closer to Vikir.
And said in a low voice.
“… … Can you help me?”
