episode_0133

After a sticky, hot, crazy night full of screaming and chanting, we were able to head to Cloud Holder only after resting for another day.

My heart races as I think about finally putting an end to my revenge today.

“Hmm…I guess so.”

Cloud Hold, the capital of the Cloud Holder Kingdom, was a natural fortress carved into a cliff and surrounded by high, thick walls. It is even divided into external and internal parts, so it seems very difficult to break through. It made me wonder how on earth such a large city could be built on such terrain.

“Leona.”

“Yes.”

“From now on, you will kill your hometown and parents with your own hands. Do you have any hesitation?”

“No. at all. It’s nothing.”

Looking at her smiling brightly, I smiled.

Wearing a vintage denim jacket over a tank top she bought at a coin store and leggings underneath, her outfit was just gorgeous. It looks like her bronzed breasts and buttocks are about to pop out at any moment.

“Master. Then your eyes will pop out.”

“Do you like Leona that much?”

“Oppa, your eyes are so creepy!”

“We don’t look at it like that!”

I guess I was looking at him too blatantly. Jealous glances from women come from all over and poke at me.

“Kuhum, big…”

“Are you really revealing?”

Even Yu Seul-gi, who is usually quiet, said a word to me, making me feel like I was some kind of nymphomaniac.

…Am I right?

“Jo, be quiet! We may have to start a battle now, but it can’t be resolved like this!”

“They said Leona would do everything anyway.”

“Keohum! Well, that’s true, but…”

As long as Leona was at the level of demi-god, there was no need for the other women, including me, to do anything. To that extent, the state of being a demi-god is so sublime and pure.

“Anyway, Leona. I’m ready.”

“Yes…no problem. however. It’s a little strange.”

“Huh? What?”

When I followed her gaze and looked at the walls of Cloud Hold, I could feel a sense of discomfort.

“There are no guards at all? Is it always like this?”

“No. Originally, there had to be people on the castle walls and watchtowers. Besides…well, the smell of blood is so strong.”

“What?”

As I tilted my head, a little later, I felt a fishy scent sting my nose.

“This is…”

“What is it? Could it be that there was an internal conflict?”

“It’s not like there’s no possibility of that happening… but you’ll find out when you go in. Leona.”

“Yes.”

Just by looking at her, the gate crumbled to dust. Those of us who walked inside the castle walls had no choice but to remain silent at the horrors that unfolded.

-Keeek!

-human! it’s good!

-Hahaha! human! Damn human!

-Useless human being!”

A huge number of monsters were talking in human language and preying on or violating humans… It was more like a ‘buffet’ with a variety of things to choose from rather than the ‘plunder’ right after the war.

Insanity and screams are rampant, but the foreign scenery without blood and flesh flying makes me frown.

Seeing the thick magical energy hanging there like a fog, it seems like the entire Cloud Hold has been transformed into a demon world environment.

“How did this happen?”

I looked around to see if it was the work of a warlock, but there were no chimeras or undead in sight.

“…I don’t know what the situation is, but I don’t like it. Leona. Summarize.”

“Yes.”

She muttered softly and stamped her foot once.

That alone caused all living things in the area to die.

Either the head is cut off or the body is cut off.

Regardless of whether they are monsters or humans.

The once-heavy street suddenly became engulfed in silence.

“Ah… Oh my, this kind of slaughter… ”

Saint Athena trembled with her joined hands, but I didn’t care.

Instead, the women around her comforted her by holding her hand and rubbing her back.

“It’s neater. good. Then let’s keep going.”

I barely resisted the urge to reach out to Leona, who was twitching her butt every time she walked, and moved across the outer castle towards the inner castle.

“Hmm…? What is this situation now?”

However, the inner castle was surrounded by numerous chimeras and undead. I don’t know if it was a spell or something, but a fairly strong-looking barrier was blocking their entry, and the warlock’s troops were so numerous that it looked dangerous at first glance.

“It’s a barrier that borrows the divine power of Cloud Hold. It’s like the kingdom’s last bastion. Even I would have to use a lot of force to break through that.”

“Hoo. okay? It’s no joke.”

After hearing Leona’s explanation, I looked at the barrier surrounding the castle again. In the end, it will break through, but the idea of being able to withstand even a little bit of Demi God’s power is not something to be taken lightly. Was there something like that in Cloud Hold?

“Are you here? You came at a truly unfortunate time. If you had come a little later, you would have completely conquered Naeseong.”

“…Huh?”

The one who appeared with a relaxed voice was an 8th circle warlock.

The guy wearing deep robes shot his hostility straight at me.

“You…how are you alive?”

“Hahaha, unfortunately, it’s a body that can’t die easily. Still, thanks to you, I had a hard time.”

Only after seeing the guy’s face with his hood pulled back, did I understand why he was alive.

“Was it Rich…”

“Phew…really. Thanks to you, my plan went awry and I was in a lot of trouble. I didn’t expect that they would even send paladins… but the damage was significant. About 40% of warlocks were killed by these guys.”

“Oh, 40%? The paladins killed more people than expected. Well, the paladins were strong, right? He even killed the 8th circle warlock, Lich Nari, once.”

“…Are you making fun of me? Heinously…!”

Puzzle.

Hearing the sound of his teeth grinding, he seems really angry.

“So? What are you doing now?”

“Phew… I’ll tell you because I can’t turn back now anyway. I’m trying to summon the devil.”

“…Ha. Do you think that will be possible? If that was going to happen, it should have been done a long time ago. Before summoning the 1st tier demon. Aren’t the offerings too lacking?”

“Since you’re so worried, I don’t know what to do. But, it’s okay. Because sacrifices are not only human.”

“Huh?”

“We gathered all the nearby monsters who learned language. That number is probably twice that of Cloud Hold citizens.”

“Still, it’s not enough. The devil is summoned just like that? Absurd.”

“Khahaha! Don’t worry! We also came up with our own method after careful consideration!”

“……”

“Originally, we were going to proceed with the demon lord summoning ritual after occupying the inner castle, but… now that this saboteur has come, there is nothing we can do!”

As soon as the guy gestured, blood flowed up from all over Cloud Hold and gathered into the guy’s hand. It’s a similar scene to the one I saw at Melhaven Duke’s House.

“I never thought they would even try to summon the Demon King… It far exceeded my expectations. If I had come a little later, I would have been in big trouble. Leona. Kill me.”

“Yes.”

Leona answered briefly and stretched out her hand in the wrong direction.

“Huh…?”

Just as I was puzzled by the direction.

“Kwaaagh!?”

A high-pitched scream rose up, and a moment later, a floating skeleton landed in front of us.

At the same time, the 8th Circle Warlock with whom I had just spoken disappears.

“This is…”

“The guy who appeared in front of us was a fake. It was a kind of illusion. It was decorated very cleverly…but it wasn’t enough to fool my eyes.”

“…Amazing.”

Leona’s performance far exceeded my expectations. I never thought you would see through all of this. It’s incredibly reassuring.

“…I will cut the ‘lifeline’ connected to the lich’s life vessel and kill him completely.”

“Is that even possible?”

Leona nodded confidently, her eyes shining coldly, and waved her hand.

Passs…

That was the end of it. The 8th circle lich crumbled into dust.

It’s scary.

“What…!”

“What! What’s going on!?”

As soon as he dies, the warlocks hiding among the chimeras and undead peek out. The sight was so absurd that I burst into laughter.

“Kill them all.”

“As instructed.”

Cooung.

With just one stomp from Leona, tens of thousands of undead and chimera hordes were killed.

Well, in the end, I don’t know how to summon the Demon Lord… Well, it doesn’t matter.

“Wow…!”

“It’s amazing…”

“This is no match for me…”

The women, astonished by the spectacle, also opened their mouths.

“Then, from now on, we will break the barrier of the new beast. Be prepared for shock.”

She spoke calmly and swung her hand as if attacking for the first time.

It was just a stroke, like scraping the air with a fingernail, but the result was fierce and fierce, unlike before.

Kwaaang!

“Kyaaah!?”

“Wow!”

“Keuuugh…!”

It only took a moment for the barrier to shatter with a huge shock wave.

I don’t even know what I did or how I did it.

“Phew…good job. Leona. That’s amazing.”

“Hehe…Please praise me more.”

Her sharp eyes instantly softened, she smiled brightly, hugged my arm cutely, and buried her face in my chest, her expression widening. Ah, not this. Let’s calm down. I need to manage my facial expressions.

“Master…”

“Ugh…”

just as expected. Women’s anguished voices echo here and there.

“Keohum! Enter.”

It was very painful to ignore those reactions, but I felt like I was a complete idiot and only looked up at my high tolerance. This time, without having to say anything, Leona automatically pulverized the castle walls and gates of the inner city.

“Hmm…?”

The interior of the castle was strangely quiet. Although it was still only the first floor, it made no sense that I could not even feel a presence throughout such a large floor. Surely not everyone is already dead? Then it doesn’t work…

Just as those worries are rising. They must have sensed something strange outside and came rushing down to find barbarians struggling to raise their weapons.

“Ugh…”

“Who, who are you…!”

He was very haggard, as if he had been locked up in the inner room longer than expected, and his skin and bones were so rough that it was hard to tell whether he was a warrior or a poor beggar, but I was so happy that I almost waved.

“Leona. If you know any faces, please let me know.”

“…a familiar face.”

“Oh, really? What is the relationship?”

“The person standing in the back is my uncle.”

“That’s good. hey. Do you recognize this woman’s face?”

“What…um?”

The middle-aged man, whose hand holding the weapon was shaking, opened his eyes for a moment and looked at Leona, then opened his mouth with a shocked expression on his face.

“Seo, no way…! Is this Leona?”

“That’s right. Uncle. It’s been a while.”

“What the hell happened? You must have mysteriously disappeared ten years ago!?”

“This person took me. You are my master now.”

“What…!?”

The guy’s face looked at me.

“Who are you…?”

“Can’t you recognize me?”

“Uhm…I just don’t know. Ha, but it worked! Leona! You’re here to help us! That young man is definitely a volunteer worker to help us! Isn’t that right?”

Looking at his hopeful face, I let out a low laugh.

“Leona. Kill all the faces you don’t recognize. Just cut off the faces you know so they don’t die.”

“Yes.”

The moment she blinked her eyes.

“Kaaa!?”

“Ahh…!?”

“Gagging…!”

Dozens of people died indiscriminately. The man called Uncle also fell down with his limbs cut off and struggled like an insect.

“Kwaaagh!? W-what happened?! Leona! What on earth is this…!”

It was quite a sight to see him struggle to understand the situation while struggling in pain.

“Kkeukkeuk…Yoo Seulgi. Could you move me telekinetically? It also stops the bleeding.”

“…I understand.”

Her brows were furrowed, but she did not reject my request.

“Huh!? Whoa…! What the hell is this…!”

“It’s a bit noisy. Leona. Get rid of your vocal cords and tongue too.”

“Yes.”

“Sassy love juice…!? Shit…!”

The middle-aged man, whose vocal organs had disappeared and could only make sounds like wind, opened his eyes wide.

“Now, let’s go up.”

As I went up the long spiral staircase, I came into a large lobby decorated like a banquet hall, and in the middle of it there was a pile of human bones.

My eyebrows naturally furrow.

“I guess they ate it among themselves because there was no food… They do all kinds of things.”

After clicking my tongue, I went up to the 3rd floor, which seemed to be the last floor, because I couldn’t feel any sign of him.

“Mm, stop!”

“Who are you guys!”

More than a dozen people were blocking our path. However, since all of them are close to each other, they are not much of a threat.

“Leona. Likewise, kill faces you don’t know and cut off limbs of faces you know. Don’t forget your tongue and vocal cords.”

“Yes.”

Leona’s eyes moved quickly, and in the next moment, blood spurted out here and there.

“Huh…? what. Is this a familiar face?”

There were fewer people who died than I thought, so I turned to see her smiling faintly and nodding with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

“Yes. First brother and second brother. Third brother. And my uncle and maternal uncle, Tangsuk…”

“Ah, stop. So you’re saying they’re all brothers or relatives?”

“Yes.”

“King… Ah, this is not a king, but a warrior commander. Is there no commander in chief?”

“Yes.”

“I see. Let’s keep going.”

There was a large grand hall and a podium on the third floor, and on top of the podium was a magnificent marble chair that looked just like a throne.

“Le, Leona…?”

And in that chair, an old man but with bright eyes was gaping with a puzzled look on his face. It’s amazing that you recognized Leona right away. Are you saying we are blood relatives?

“This is my father. He is the commander of Cloud Hold.”

“Oh, really?”

Hearing Leona’s voice sounding proud and bitter at the same time, I smiled and stepped in front of her.

“Hello. A warrior commander.”

He looked confused, but managed to keep his cool and glare at me.

“…Who are you?”

“This is the kidnapper who took your daughter.”

“…You…!”

Even though there was no explanation, the guy who glared at me with bloodshot eyes as if he understood the whole situation grabbed the large ax that was standing next to him.

“Give me your daughter!”

When he bowed deeply and shouted that, the boy’s expression hardened for a moment.

“What…?”

“Ahahaha! It was a line I wanted to try. No need for permission. Because it’s already mine.”

“How dare you…! How dare this insignificant bastard insult me…!”

Just as the warrior commander was about to stand up with his axe in hand, a high, long shout rang through the grand hall.

“Leona! Is that really you, Leona? Unbelievable! I can’t believe I’m really coming back…!”

A middle-aged woman came running from one of the doors connecting the grand hall to the back, crying out for Leona with tearful eyes.

“Who is it?”

“This is my mother…”

“Really? Do what you do.”

“…Yes.”

As soon as the answer was given, the middle-aged woman’s limbs were cut off and her tongue and vocal cords were melted.

“…!!”

The warrior commander’s eyes widened.

“What are you doing? Leona! How dare you treat your mother…!”

“Hmm. It’s a bit noisy. Leona.”

“Yes.”

“Big…!?”

Since he was a warrior general who ruled Cloud Hold, he would have been at the level of a sword master.

But it took less than a second for his limbs to be cut off and his tongue and vocal cords to disappear.

“Ha…!”

at las. Erica’s revenge was finally achieved. Could this have saved her soul?

“No. Not yet.”

Something is lacking. And I knew how to fill that void.

Smirking, I tore off Leona’s clothes in front of her relatives.
