Chapter 176 – Hwangchung (not Three Kingdoms)

Even though time passed so slowly, the time was approaching before I knew it. To be honest, it wasn’t that I didn’t have a desire to get rid of everything and go into seclusion. However, it was certain that he would die if left alone, so I just hit him before I got hit.

However, there was a bigger problem than that.

“… I should have warned you to leave those pitiful baggage behind.”

Damian was always grumbling about what he was so unhappy about bringing the other kids with him. Even though he looked like a taciturn character, he was surprisingly grumbling, grumbling like a Smurf.

Of course, I think there is a problem with Rachel, who responds emotionally to this.

“Why don’t you shut up because there’s nothing to harm your brother?”

“I’m not going to reach out to you now, as long as you’ve ignored my warnings to stay calm. I won’t help you no matter what.”

“Don’t pretend to be right if you give up most of the magic your father or mother taught you and turn your eyes to selling your soul to the devil.”

“Tsk… remember. It was always me who cleaned up for you guys.”

“If anyone hears it, they’ll think it’s a sacrifice because they think of their younger siblings, and they’ve bought it, right?”

“Ha… say whatever you like.”

I never thought that just riding the carriage to the end, getting off the carriage because the mountain road was getting rough would leave these things behind… I had to separate them at all costs, but this is my negligence.

In the carriage, Lorsha said that since Damian came, 50 bodies of wanted criminals have been found in the capital. Of course, this was a story limited to wanted criminals who could recognize the face of a corpse, and there were criminals who were not wanted, and there were also corpses whose faces were completely unrecognizable.

Perhaps because of that inclination, everyone was sitting next to their future mother and going on a picnic… Lorsha was sitting far away from Damian, looking at her with lively eyes.

“Maybe it would be better to kill such a killer bastard when he sees an opportunity.”

Oh, it’s also brutal.

“It’s pitiful to come this far. Even if you commit treason, you won’t be treated like that.”

Ares This bastard talked a lot. I thought about pulling out my tongue when I saw him not stopping talking, but I stopped because it was a meaningless task that only took my effort because I would play it right away.

Camellia was carrying Violet, who had fallen asleep again, Airi had become close with her daughter, Isla, and was even showing her how to knit thread, and Glaceon was even giving Rachel advice on swordsmanship.

Most of them have a good relationship with my future children, so why is this the only one…

Of course, this bastard Damian dragged it aggro and responded by ignoring it coolly when the opponent rebelled. If he is on the internet, wouldn’t it be possible to completely destroy a community with a keyboard battle like this?

Of course, even the mother who is a swear word is a swear word who beats a professional with 50 years of experience at the grandmother’s soup restaurant.

“…hey you.”

Look, even if I’m from the future, I’m 10 years older than my current age, but I’m talking about calling elders like that.

“Can you fight if the person you love betrays you?”

I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden. No one among us would ever betray me, not even a redhead in the middle of the night. However, answering such a serious question as a joke seemed like a real murder, so I answered seriously.

“As long as he’s human, he’ll be a little hesitant. It’s unavoidable. Feeling betrayed, embarrassed, angry… Humans are creatures easily swayed by emotions.”

“…know.”

“You know?”

“Not you… but my father said that too. Don’t be easily swayed by emotions.”

I don’t think I’m going to say that, but I don’t know what the hell is going on in the future. However, whenever I asked a question, it was consistent with answers such as ‘I can’t answer’ or ‘I have no obligation to answer’. It’s not some kind of fucking game story, only you know it, and you don’t want to tell it… It’s not a green cat doctor somewhere, or a famous detective somewhere.

“So, are you faithful to that word?”

“Yes. And…”

“And…?”

“I listened to your answer. So let me take all measures.”

“No, so what…”

“I have no obligation to answer… No, I mean I’ll take action to make sure you don’t get caught. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you.”

That’s why you’re a grouchy Smurf bastard asking for an explanation. What are you doing playing drums and drums by yourself?

“Also, it’s nice to play with everyone, but how about being wary of the people around you?”

“What?”

Everyone was on alert at those words. Then bandits appeared in a row from behind the trees surrounding us. Or, judging from his hands and posture, he looked like a skilled contractor.

“Kuh, I didn’t expect to find out so soon… This is bad luck,”

I don’t have to answer, but Damian dared to answer. This talkative, grouchy Smurf pup.

“Yes, it’s the day you fall into hell, but you’re out of luck.”

“No, but I guess I’m on the lucky side. I’m lucky enough to be able to take care of some of the men and catch and sell women… I was able to get an advance payment just by doing this.”

“I must be lucky to have received the old money on the road to the underworld.”

“You cheeky little boy is good at making fun of his mouth. Kill the boys, and the girls…”

At that time, Damian threw down his dagger and created a spectacle of blood spraying from the top of the head of the bastard who was talking blasphemously.

“What is it? Tell me next, you trash bastard.”

Honestly, I think that’s a good murder. If I had heard the following words, I would have broken the pot without hesitation.

“Okay, let’s get rid of those bastards…”

I was going to take over Mr. Broly’s will and start the bloody festival, but Damian stopped me. No, I don’t know why they suddenly stop killing now.

“Those bastards have already coated their weapons with poison. The reason why the black round table guys bought them is probably because they were aiming to get poisoned even a little bit in the melee.”

“You know me quite well, don’t you?”

“… I have no obligation to answer. And as I just said, I must avoid melee, so I will fight alone.”

“I don’t have time, so I’m going to take care of that number alone? I wonder if I can stop them all by myself…”

He’s not some kind of Zhao Zilong from Zhao Shan, he’s going to kill them all? Even on his home ground? Even in arrogance, there must be a degree. Just because there is, there are guys who are greedy like that.

“Ten minutes, no three minutes is enough. It looks clean.”

“What?”

“Enoch, open the sealed field. Sealed demons, it is a contract. Give me your strength as I will give you a part of my soul.”

It was a very ugly order every time I saw it. In the original work, most of the guys who contracted with the devil ran out of control or lost their bodies, but I thought they were good at controlling that power.

[Abaddon, turn my body into a group of locusts.]

Then, Damian’s body turned into a swarm of black locusts and flew away to the bandits. Of course after that…

It was living hell.

“Quaaagh!!!”

“Sa…save me! My body…!”

“Go away! Go away!”

“My legs! My legs…!”

The bandits began to eat the black locusts alive. Airi covered Ayla’s eyes and ears, and Glaceon vomited at the sight. Rachel watched the scene with disgust on her face, and Camellia looked away.

It was such a horrific scene that even I couldn’t keep my eyes open. No matter how hard he swung his sword, he couldn’t cut down a locust, and even killing one locust did not cause noticeable damage. Only Ares was watching the scene with interest.

Within three minutes, the locusts had finished their meal, leaving no bone fragments behind. The locusts gathered again. Changed into Damien’s form.

“Eggplant. Long way to go.”

Everyone stopped. Yes, I also think that bandits like that should be killed… but the way they ate them alive was a little uncomfortable.

“Are you dissatisfied with the way you were just now?

Lorsha looked a little dissatisfied. No, everyone had a little bit, but I just didn’t bother to say it out of my mouth. Even if the method is a bit cruel, it’s because you killed the enemy.

“I don’t want to say anything about killing the enemy. Actually, we were dangerous, and I was thinking of killing them too. But what the hell is that method? No matter how cruel it is, it crossed the line.”

“That’s funny. I’m not a priest. I’m a warlock who made a pact with the devil.”

Rather, it seemed that Rorsha was enraged by that imposing attitude.

“So I’m not talking about killing, but making them eat alive by insects… It’s not like that.”

“Then I’ll ask you the reverse… What is the difference between burning to death with magic, stabbing to death with a sword, and killing by eating insects? Did the trial give different sentences depending on the murder tool? I put emphasis on efficiency. I just did it.

“So you really don’t feel anything?”

“I just thought it was a waste of time for those bugs.”

When Lorsha heard that, she snorted in amazement and then said:

“When you said you would fight alone, I tried to understand you. Well, you have a hard time too, so that could be the case. But I don’t like the fact that you signed a contract with the devil, but I just found out from that answer. It’s just that you are naturally wrong. “

“…maybe.”

“I don’t think I will be able to have children because of you.”

“…as you like.”

“Either you go alone, or you fall out. Or I will fall out.”

At those words, Damian turned his back.

“You are a valuable force. If that’s all you want, let’s act separately. But before that, let’s ask one last thing.”

“…What?”

“Is begging a beggar a choice or a duty? And is it his habit to bow his head without pride?”

“What bullshit, you madman…”

“If that is your answer, I understand. Now do as you wish.”

After saying that, Damian turned into a swarm of locusts and flew away.

Thanks to Damien, the atmosphere that had been a little excited was smashed. Besides, I had no choice but to appease Lorsha, who was so angry.

Where the dark shadows of the forest cast,

Damian quietly took out the necklace his mother had left behind in his arms.

It’s a very small amount if you hold it hard, but it’s a necklace that heals the body, so I always carried it.

“… You’re poignant.”

Damian quietly recalled the back of his parents.

“… Speaking of liars.”
