128. Encounters (6)

Soi was lying on the ground all alone in the forest.

The high, blue sky through the trees formed in her gray eyes.

The chirping of birds tickled my ears.

“Seeing… … .”

He said he would be back soon, so I thought it would be really soon, but it had already been 30 minutes without news.

Zeke turned his head in the direction where the instructor disappeared and narrowed his eyes, but still had no intention of appearing.

“No… … ! If you brought someone by force, you have to take responsibility!”

Soyi jumped up and said.

Suddenly, as if packing a bag, he dragged it and left it

There is no place in the world where a person is abandoned like this in the middle of an empty lot and disappears by himself.

I didn’t even say that I would follow you first!

Soyi raised his head toward the sky and spat out Zeke’s curse words.

“Fool! idiot! black mutt! sea anemone! wind egg! Oh, the unfertilized eggs were a bit harsh. Yoo Jeong-ran!”

* * *

A black-haired man who suddenly intervened and calmly chewed bloody bread with an expressionless face.

Seeing the bizarre sight, Julie tilted her head and frowned.

“… … Mr. Warrior?”

“Yeah, seeing that my pants didn’t get wet after hearing the name, it must be another world here.”

Julie glanced at the man’s back and saw a shadow that was bifurcated and soaked the floor in red blood.

Blood was clotted between the cut edges.

She licked her lips invisibly.

‘To lose one shadow from the start… … . I didn’t even count this… … .’

A surprise attack secretly ordered while naturally distracting him.

It wasn’t just that it didn’t work, it was a really big loss that he died in one hit.

However, Julie still wore a cold arsenic and maintained a relaxed attitude.

“Huh… … . By the way… … . where were you hiding… … ? If I had just kept hiding, I would have saved my life… … .”

Then the man who introduced himself as a warrior burst into laughter.

“behind? There is no way you can hide because you are afraid of a trivial space isolation magic.”

“… … !”

“But if possible, I would like to hide the sound of eyeballs rolling. I’ll wait for you, so you don’t have to be so secretive. I like the moment when you guys are desperate.”

At Zeke’s words, Julie’s complexion changed completely and hardened.

‘He’s not an ordinary guy.’

By mentioning the space isolation magic, it means that it was not here from the beginning, but that it penetrated [the lost space] from the outside.

Even though they didn’t mutate, the ability to deal with the much stronger shadows in this space at once.

In addition, he seemed to have noticed that he was preparing another move.

‘Is it a wizard… … ?’

Julie, who was looking at Zeke with suspicious eyes, suddenly had a lightning-like realization in her head.

‘That’s him!’

It is unthinkable that the weak Yoheiden soldiers lying here would have killed the believer and the bishop.

But what if, even then, the author was with them?

Julie swallowed dryly and opened her mouth.

“… … By any chance, are you the one who killed our believers and the bishop?”

“A believer? I don’t know because I don’t have the hobby of remembering the faces of stinky rats.”

“… … I’m talking about those who recently went to Higma Forest to get an offering. by the way… … . Our warrior’s face is my taste, but he’s not afraid to talk very hard? I want to kill you.”

“Ahh… … . That jeongbak-ah, you mean the guy who kept talking about what we said together.”

“Puha!”

Julie burst out laughing.

She bowed her head, brushed her gray hair, and giggled for a long time.

Swoop.

Julie raised her head, and the vertical lines were drawn more clearly in her green eyes.

“… … So, the one who killed the followers of Lost Hope was our hero… … . Is that what you mean?”

She said in a chilling voice.

“Yeah, I don’t think you’ll have a different ending.”

“… … Whoa, if you provoke me too much, I really want to kill you, so please watch your mouth?”

With a deep smile on her lips, Julie brought her hands together in front of her.

good-

“Shadow, Power Set.”

Then, without a sound, three shadows stood in front of her.

Took.

Took.

Took.

Those who dropped their weapons and fell flat on the floor.

It was as if he was praying to his god.

“““For Lost Hope.”””

Julie stretched out a hand from behind the shadows.

And in the other hand he held a red whip.

A blood-red thread flowed from her outstretched fingertips and connected them to the shadows.

“Variation.”

Wooddeuk

Wooddeuk

With her words, the shadows’ appearances began to change.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok, ugh!”

Her whole body went up and down like her heart beating, and blue veins bulged out on her skin.

The black pupils disappear from the blushing face, and the white eyes fill in their place as if paint is smearing.

A grotesque scene where muscles swell and bones tear flesh and protrude.

In the process, a drop of blood landed on Julie’s mouth, but she slightly stuck out her tongue and licked the blood.

“… … Ha ha! aaagh!”

Terrible screams that boiled from the short war came out of their mouths.

The shadows were turning into monsters, emitting steam from their bodies.

In the process of changing, the guys who lost their senses were spraying death in all directions.

All the soldiers of Yoheiden lying down at him flinched and trembled in fear, but Zeke didn’t care.

Rather, I looked at their prayers with curious eyes.

‘Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve been a homunculus master?’

They are different from the necromancers who deal with dead bodies.

The quality was even worse in that it insulted living life.

Occasionally, the homunculus who had not lost their senses would hide among people and then suddenly mutate and commit murder.

These guys played a huge role in destroying society by breaking solidarity between people and planting distrust in that way.

For that reason, he was once widely notorious even on the Dave continent, but Mr. Zeke’s persistent pursuit dried up all of them.

‘Well?’

Zeke’s eyes narrowed as he watched the transformation process.

In the process of dismantling and reconstructing their bodies, something glittering in the heart was briefly revealed.

‘Did you use the magic stone as a medium… … ?’

Certainly, it was a world where mana was scarce, so there was a difference in the way he saw them on the Dave continent.

Homunculus magicians in the previous world were more ignorant than implanting magic stones into their bodies.

It was because he had chosen the method of pushing mana, exploding his latent power, and causing the evolution of his body.

However, Zeke felt an unpleasant sense of deja vu in the way of this place.

‘I, the magic stone embedded in my heart… … . It’s the same as Soyi… … ?’

A soy spoon with all mana rods removed and a large magic stone embedded in its heart.

Of course, the quality of the magic stone was different from those in front of me, but the form and method were surprisingly similar.

‘no way… … . Did the Lost Hope guys put a magic stone into Soyi?’

Zeke frowned as he remembered Breadsuni waiting for him outside.

Before long, the shadows seemed to have finished their transformation, and three gigantic monsters let out a boiling low voice.

“““Kleurrr… … .”””

His body was ten times bigger, and his teeth were white.

With their long fingernails and toenails sharp, they no longer had the appearance of being human.

Sticky saliva dripped from their mouths and wet the floor.

“… … Really, I didn’t expect you to wait until the end… … ? Of course, it wouldn’t have been a problem even if they attacked midway… … . Hero, do you really not regret it?”

Julie said to Zeke with a snake-like smile on her lips.

Zeke wanted to ask about Soi right now, but he suppressed his feelings for now.

It’s okay to postpone asking until after you’ve completely subdued it. Now, the first thing to do is to provide despair.

“… … During the transformation process, he does not do anything mean by attacking. And since I caught one in advance, I don’t feel sorry for you. Think of it at that price.”

“Kha! you… … . Do you really like it the more you see it? It’s really heartbreaking that I lost one too, but that’s okay. Is there such a good material right in front of you?”

Soggy greed dwelled in the vertically split eyes that contained Zeke.

“If you wait a little bit, the hero will become like this. Do not worry about it. I’ll leave Izzy… … . With memories remaining, the experience of killing someone important with my own hands… … . It’s going to be really exciting… … .”

“… … Their bad taste doesn’t change here or there… … .”

“yes? What did you say?”

Zeke let out a small sigh and shook his head.

“… … Hmm, no. It looks like I have a little something to hear from you.”

“We can communicate, I have something to hear from the warrior.”

Chew!

Julie’s red whip hit the floor hard.

“For Lost Hope!”

In response to Julie’s words, the Homunculus’ dense killing power, which had been scattered in all directions, focused on Zeke.

“Take care of it.”

“““Kuhhhhh!!!!!”””

The three homunculus kicked their feet and lunged at Zeke.
