episode_0056

Sharp arrows rained down endlessly, six per second.

The silver of the arrowhead shone in the moonlight and swept through the garden like a waterfall.

” is an arrow, avoid it!”

“Ugh!”

The prisoners, taken aback by the sudden rain of arrows, quickly dispersed.

“Kyaaa!”

Yelena, who was a step late in reacting due to the wound on her side, was hit with silver arrows.

The hyena beast was spewing out blood and rolling around.

“Yelena!”

Alexei, the lion beast, turned the floor over with an axe.

The ground exploded with an explosion, and the raised rocks became shields and blocked the arrows.

“Now!”

Friede grabbed the saw and rushed towards one of the scattered beastmen.

Did you say Olga? A female gray wolf wielding a huge halberd.

A blow aimed at the abdomen is blocked by the halberd.

The saw blade roughly scrapes the long spear, emitting a sharp bursting sound and sparks.

The harpoon dagger aimed at the lower jaw is caught by sharp teeth and shatters into pieces.

The mace swung one after another collides with the halberd and bounces off.

Friede’s left arm was greatly extended.

A halberd stabs at you, aiming for an opening.

The sharp tip of the spear was aimed at Friede’s heart.

“You beast!”

Friede blocks the spear with the face of the saw and uses the momentum to turn sideways.

A muffled scream and clear lines of blood filled the air.

—-

“Haaa!”

I also immediately ran towards one of the beastmen.

A brown bear. Toward the man named Kamenev with whom I had been in a fistfight.

“Hehehe!”

He slides to avoid the log-like kick and raises his long sword to slash.

Blood poured out, and Kamenev’s calf was cut in half.

The bear’s front paw struck down next, hitting the ground in front of me, not me.

There was a loud noise that shook my eardrums.

“Pfft!”

Shattered bedrock falls like cannonballs.

I reflexively raised my arms and blocked my view.

– Pow!

I fell backwards with a heavy impact.

A vivid pain rushed from my abdomen, where I had been hit by a rock.

“Die, Aishangior!”

Other prisoners take advantage of the gap and rush in.

No, I tried to rush in.

– Tudadadada!

“Damn it!”

Another storm of arrows swept around me.

The beastmen who were running towards me quickly retreated.

Is it Asha? Yeah, she’s probably the only one who can do something like this.

When I didn’t come out, I did something and it turned out that I was making a silver arrow autocannon.

It was a relief.

Thanks to her cover, I was able to avoid the enemy’s concentrated attacks and deal with only one enemy.

“You idiots, stop the archers first! Volkov, Dmitry! Take Yelena and enter the building! Rip and kill those inside!”

Boris, unable to see what was happening, screamed.

“Where are you looking!”

Nigel’s spear blade, aiming for an opening, crossed Boris’s shoulder.

The leather pauldrons split open and blood spurted out.

“Ugh! This female…!”

Boris let out a roar and swung his sword roughly.

Nigel, who blocked it, bounced away.

“Kamenev, Alexei! Please take care of Olga!”

A wolf beastman and a coyote beastman grab a female hyena and jump into the main gate of the special building.

They say we have to stop it.

Friede and I were blocked by other prisoners and had no choice but to let them go.

“Quuk, Asha!”

It’s dangerous. Yelena was already half-deadly injured, but the two remaining prisoners were alive and well.

There’s no way Asha could win against two and a half beasts alone.

The rain of arrows stopped.

I urgently rushed towards the beasts in front of me.

Kamenev with blood gushing from his calf.

Olga’s thigh was torn off by Friede’s saw.

And Alexei is still alive and well.

Together with Friede, we had to deal with these three as quickly as possible.

========[Asha]========

“Three. It’s dangerous…?”

Asha muttered and spoke to the piece of metal standing next to the window.

There was no answer. That’s right, because the opponent was nothing more than an automaton.

Smoke billowed out from the gatling attached to the doll’s right arm.

Because it was hastily modified to shoot arrows instead of bullets, its durability was not very good.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have made at least a silver bullet in advance.’

Asha muttered to herself and gathered her equipment.

I didn’t intend to fight directly.

Automatons were only meant for long-distance support.

At least one arm was slowly fading away.

It was impossible to fight three beasts in that state.

Because there was a much better way in the first place.

Asha left the room and ran up to the third floor.

To the room of Fernet, the only bystander on the third floor.

‘If that fairy is just going to sit by and watch, shouldn’t we just make her a party to it?’

– Quang!

Asha rushed in, smashing Fernet’s door.

Sure enough, a drunken fairy was leaning on the window sill, watching the fight in the garden.

I knew it would be like this. All fairies are like this.

Individualists who act like they’re nice, but actually have no interest in other people’s affairs.

“What are you doing…Did I say I could come in…?”

Hearing the noise behind him, Fernet looked towards Asha.

The eyes were half-open due to the heat, but they were filled with clear emotions.

Annoyance and hassle.

It was truly the expression of a ‘solid’ fairy, acting as if she was living in another world all by herself.

“Did you say Fernet? You can’t just play alone. Isn’t that right?”

“You…you arrogant centipede…”

Fernet’s brow furrowed. Even as she stumbled, her body turned toward Asha.

Asha swallowed dry saliva.

Hashalr seemed to ignore Fernet a little, perhaps because of his sloppy appearance, but Asha knew.

High-ranking fairies who have lived for hundreds of years are already nothing more than weapons in the form of creatures.

“Will only those guys do it?”

Asha smiled slyly and pointed behind her.

Three prisoners were running toward her.

“Haaaa… You’re lucky… If it were 300 years ago… I would have ripped out your limbs and eyes and tied you up in the underground plaza.”

Fernet sighed. Her pronunciation became clearer little by little.

The staggering body regained its balance.

Asha’s back was wet with cold sweat.

I know, that wasn’t a threat or a lie.

It was a story Asha herself had only heard from the elders of the tribe.

This is what they actually did three hundred years ago, when Himmel and Alfheim were still at war.

Among the hundreds of half-human captives, they gathered the women and tied them up… then released the monsters and watched their screams.

Then, the tragedy was saved with magic and sent to Himmel as a gift.

After receiving the gift, Himmel melted all the fairy prisoners into one in a furnace and then shot them with a cannon towards Alfheim.

It was a crazy time.

Still, both countries have become somewhat peaceful since their crushing defeat at the hands of the Empire, so it is unlikely that they will try to kill us now.

Asha quietly walked into the room.

Soon after, three prisoners arrived in front of the door.

“Half-human and fairy, they are dogs that have bowed their heads to the empire. Are you the only ones? I couldn’t find the others.”

” As for dogs, you are a dog…no, one is a hedgehog…?”

Fernet looked at the prisoners.

His eyes were emotionless, as if he were looking at livestock, completely different from his usual relaxed appearance.

The beastmen bared their teeth and raised their weapons.

Fernet rubbed the back of his head irritably.

“Haa… Why don’t you guys just go back? Because you too are poor animals. I’ll just take a look when I get back.”

“Bullshit, disgusting traitors…!”

The prisoners broke down the wall and came inside.

The shelf on the wall collapsed, and the liquor bottles fell to the floor and shattered.

The strong scent of flowing alcohol filled the room.

Fernet looked at the remains of the bottle for a moment, then sighed deeply.

“Then there’s nothing we can do…Undine, come out with one.”

In the air, water droplets appeared.

Dozens of water droplets rose like bubbles and merged into a lump of water the size of a fist.

“Lesser spirit? What are you doing with that-”

“Undine. Take out the alcohol.”

Fernet gave a soft command and swallowed the lump of water.

Eventually, water droplets began to form on her left hand, and then returned to their original size.

There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from the lump.

Fernet’s complexion, which had been flushed from the alcohol, returned to normal in an instant.

Fernet roughly threw away a lump of water, or rather a lump of alcohol now.

The undine, who was weakened by the toxic effects of alcohol, crashed into the wall and exploded, completely disappearing.

“No, what is that…”

The prisoners, dumbfounded by what had happened before their eyes, let out a groan.

I had heard that fairies control spirits.

Although we haven’t met them since they were driven out to the northern snowfields, stories about them remain.

But, was it this way?

Isn’t this treatment worse than that of a male slave?

“Salamandra five, come out.”

Instead of the water balls from before, this time five fire balls appeared in the air.

Perhaps it was because of my mood, but the flickering flames seemed to be trembling with fear.

Fernet grabbed his right hand.

The spirits’ screams rang out desperately.

The five spirits were crushed and crushed, changing their shapes and soon turning into five fiery arrows.

Because of the pain, each spirit’s ego had already died.

Fernet picked up the bow hanging next to the desk and drew the string.

Fire arrows flew in all at once and were caught on the bowstring.

An enormous amount of magical power enveloped her body.

The prisoners, who had been astonished by the spirit’s miserable death, seemed to have finally come to their senses and rushed forward.

Fernet let go of the bowstring.

Five firestorms swirled around.

Without even a chance to scream, the three prisoners were swept away and turned to ashes.

The flames burning throughout the hallway died down with a gesture from Fernet.

She looked back at Asha, sending ashes flying away.

Asha’s legs lost strength and she collapsed into a sitting position.

“Uh…uhh……”

Fernet smiled slightly when he saw that.

“Behave well. Understand? Half-human junior.”

Asha nodded frantically.
