Chapter 119

Episode 119: Deficiency…The face of a wolf is more impressive than one might think. Especially if that wolf doesn’t stick out its tongue and walks on two legs. Personally, it is somewhat to my taste. I don’t necessarily like bestiality, but I still think wolves are cool. “Crunch!”!”I don’t dislike the original version of Kaladin, but I quite like this beastly aspect as well.” Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to lose.

-Hooong!

Easily dodges the oncoming wolf’s claws by tilting the head back. Since I have raised my inner strength and unlocked my martial arts, Kaldin cannot match me in physical ability. No matter how much he is a demon and is enhancing his body with magic, it is the same for us. Martial arts is a method of using magical power that has developed along the most efficient and effective path for thousands of years. If there is a core in the body of the demon, then I have a lower dantian. Due to the need to provide additional information separately, it may not be good in the long run, but if it continues as a short-term battle, I have no choice but to win. And since we won’t be fighting all day, there’s really no reason to drag it out into a long-term battle. “Heo-up!”?”After simply dodging Kaldin’s attack, I kick the ground with my still intact right foot and charge towards Kaldin.” He seemed surprised, taking a deep breath and crossing his arms.

-Phew!

“Kraaak!”!”Even defending becomes difficult when I apply tension using the medium law.” Even if it’s a shabby background, it’s still a background. As it was inserted into the body, Kaldin let out a scream of agony. This time, I’ve infused much more power than when I hit the troll last time, so it probably won’t be able to withstand it.

-Blame. Tap.

Wouldn’t this be enough by now? I took a couple of steps back and opened my mouth towards Kaldin. “Kaldin.” Now give up and go back. I won’t follow.” “….Damn you….Why are you so strong?”That’s a secret.””There’s no way I can tell you, and even if I explained it in detail, you wouldn’t understand it.” To learn martial arts, one must memorize all 365 acupoints of the human body and understand the uses of each acupoint, which cannot be taught overnight. I didn’t ask that, but I had no intention of teaching it in the first place. “Ha.”..”Kaldin let out a hollow laugh and looked at me, asking the question again.” “It’s so strong, why?”…?” “….Well, that’s a secret.”It’s a bit awkward to say that I like being treated this way.” I also have an image. Of course, to Kaldin, my image is quite a convenient tool for handling his sexual desires, but anyway. Moreover, since the source of my power is a man’s essence, no matter how strong I am, I ultimately have no choice but to have sex with a man in order to use my martial arts. “No way, you.”…Were you a demon?..?”No.” I am an ordinary human.”Kaldin was continuously stumbling.” If I were a demon, it would have been much easier to learn martial arts, but that seems impossible. Since we have reincarnated in this world, it is impossible to be born as a demon. Demons are also beings from another world, summoned from that realm. No matter how similar they look to humans or beastmen, their essence is fundamentally different. Well, still, from a martial arts perspective, there are cases where some magical arts can lead to a true transformation into a mage through a metamorphosis, so it might be possible to achieve something similar through acquired means. However, the transformation was still a distant story for me. It doesn’t seem impossible if we use a few tricks, but it would still be quite difficult. When I said that I wouldn’t leave, Kaldin thought for a moment and then asked me a question as if he had realized something. “Do you know that old man?””Yes, you guessed it right.”I nodded at his words. Then, Kaldin asked me again in a distorted voice. “So, have you been playing with us all this time?””Well, it seems like there’s some misunderstanding.” How does one’s thoughts flow like that? “Kaldin, you should speak properly.” I didn’t play with you, you played with me, right?” “…..That’s true.”As I corrected my words, Kaldin nodded with a reluctant expression as if he was acknowledging it.” Any human with normal emotions would clearly know who had the initiative in that situation. At that time, it was not the Caldin family that was treated like a toy, but me. Well, I did enjoy that a bit, but that’s a different matter. “….I understand. Then there’s nothing we can do.”Seeing that I had no intention of going back, Kaldin sighed and muttered.” It seemed like an attitude of giving up, but I did not let the history I had raised sink. As they say, a fight isn’t over until it’s really over. As I watched, Kaldin woke up his fallen subordinates one by one and helped them to their feet. I don’t know if he realized the gap in power or if he just thought it was meaningless, but he no longer seemed to think about challenging me. “Ugh, it’s so dirty.””Why is the woman so strong?” Captain, is that guy possibly a demon?”Since the attack was not intended to kill from the beginning, there were no serious injuries.” In about three days, the wounds should heal enough, and there shouldn’t be any problems. If it’s a problem, is the problem that we can no longer live in this underground plaza? “Okay, mind your own business.” Carus. We are going back. As I mentioned at the beginning.” “….Really, are you going to do that?”Okay.””Listening to the conversation between Kaldin and his subordinates, I thought to myself.” Since they betrayed Sartun, will they leave the underground plaza? If I happen to join another organization, I might stay there, but I don’t know about that. Shall I ask once? If they leave, there may be some setbacks in future plans. Personally, I would like you to stay, but if not, we need to find another way. “Kaldin.””Why?””Kaldin answered in a curt tone, but he did not ignore what I said.” “Are you going to leave here?””Well, it seems that Rotuan doesn’t know about this, so perhaps I might end up staying longer.”” ….How could one not know that? At first, I didn’t understand what was being said, but upon reflection, it was a sound that could have been quite plausible if Muren hadn’t conveyed the message in the middle. I don’t know the reason why he did that. “Yeah, that’s a relief.””What is it?””Kaldin still answered gruffly, but I smiled and continued speaking. “Then, I’ll visit sometimes.”” “….What?”He seemed surprised by my words and responded, but when you think about it, it wasn’t really that surprising.” I have come to help Kurzev’s experiment, and he will probably not treat me as a slave. According to the contents of the research notes written by Kuirzeyev, it will be essential to seek the help of men like the Kaldin family in future experiments. “That person will not make me a slave.” So, I think it’s okay to do that much.”It doesn’t matter if we go to the Sartoon base, but I feel more comfortable with the Kaldin family, so this is better.” We will probably see each other often in the future. I wouldn’t know if they leave the underground plaza, but if they stay, I might visit them sometimes. “…..”Kaldin, who heard my words, made a complicated expression.” A look that seems to be contemplating something. That was not the face of someone who had heard good news. “What is it, why are you like that?”Kaldin’s reaction is more indifferent than I expected. I didn’t expect to be overjoyed, but I thought at least there would be a glow on my face; perhaps something is not quite right. No, rather than that…. “….Sorry. It seems that won’t be enough.”Huh?””At his unexpected apology, I momentarily felt a sense of foreboding and recalled the history I had retracted.” As expected.

-Whoosh, whew!

Members of the Kaldin family, who were shaking off clothes here and there as if they were about to leave, all simultaneously threw something at me. To be precise, I threw something towards the workshop where I was standing. There was no time to judge what it was. I quickly moved my arms and knocked away three out of the five objects flying towards me. I didn’t know what it was, but I couldn’t let it be as they intended. But that was a trap.

-Thud, thud!

The object that looks like a solid ball bursts like a balloon the moment you touch it, scattering white powder everywhere. ….Is this, by any chance, a drug? // “Cough.”Kaldin coughed roughly, his whole body drenched in sweat. The area around the workshop could truly be described as a mess. The sleep powder of Nakarps was scattered here and there, and the members of the organization, who had barely managed to get up, were once again lying in a miserable state. Seeing that scene, Kaldin smiled bitterly. Was I too careless? No, rather, it would be more accurate to say that the other person was too unexpected. “….Ugh.He let out a weak groan and looked at the girl who was collapsed inside the workshop. She lay quietly as if dead, but in reality, she was asleep. It took quite a while for that to happen. The girl, even after being hit with the sleep powder of the mandrake that can put trolls to sleep in an instant, rampaged for about half a day. Recalling that, Kaldin trembled. I can’t believe the opponent could even withstand the curse of Nakharpus. Even I, who had taken the antidote, found it difficult to adapt to that daze. “…It’s totally a monster.”Kaldin muttered with a bitter smile.” The sleeping potion of Nakarpus was purchased at a high price to deal with that old wizard. I received information that the elderly person had left the underground plaza, but I was fortunate to have brought it just in case. However, no matter how much sleeping pills were used, it was inevitable that fighting against the girl was overwhelming. If he were not a demon, and especially not a lycanthrope with exceptional regenerative abilities among demons, he probably would not have survived. Moreover, the fact that Lila had her hand on him was also one of the factors that allowed him to survive. Although it almost felt like his chest would be pierced at the end, he decided to forget that fact. “….Damn it, there’s not a single decent guy.”Kaldin grumbled as he looked at his subordinates sprawled out in the hallway.” They were not all asleep due to sleeping pills. I was under the influence of the antidote, but instead of the medicine, I ended up fainting in one blow from the crazed Lila. “If it’s going to be like this, I should have just brought them all.” I only picked the ones with some real skill.The demon Mandrake, Nakharfus, enhances the effect by infusing a curse into the sleep powder he created himself. The antidote was also quite expensive, so Kaldin had no choice but to raid the wizard’s workshop with a small elite team. Now, it’s a story that doesn’t really mean much. “Hmm.”He approached Laila with a weary gait and picked her up. “What the hell have you done?””Kaldin grumbled as he barely dragged his heavy body, which felt as heavy as lead.” I couldn’t tell what kind of attack I had suffered, but my body felt heavier than when I was struck by the Thunder Blade that Taliman possessed. Still, due to the unique resilience of the Lycanthrope, the body was gradually improving. ‘….I was lucky.I didn’t underestimate the girl’s skills, but I never imagined she would be this strong. If she had been in good health and had not injured her ankle, she would not have been captured like this. And even if they are captured like this, they will escape again once they wake up. Kaldin sighed softly as he looked at the sleeping powder scattered across the workshop. ‘….It can’t be helped.I wasn’t inclined to do it, but I had to take such drastic measures to keep Laila tied up. At least until leaving Karaldin, a binding that cannot be undone is necessary. What is this nonsense?Feeling an obsession so strong that it was hard to understand even for himself, Kaldin smiled bitterly. Someone will point fingers and say that I’m crazy. And that statement must not have been wrong. He decided to leave Karaldin, putting the entire family at risk, all for just one woman. That cannot be said to be normal. However, Kaldin wanted Laila that much.

And it was the first time in his life in this world that he had wanted something so badly. Demons are beings summoned from another dimension. Summoned demons lose their memories of their original world and live in this world as if newly born. There were no exceptions to this oblivion. In other words, it was like being born as an empty being, with nothing filled. They have intelligence, but no memories. They have knowledge, but no recollections. Demons had to have even their own existence defined by others, by other races. They are beings who live abandoned in this world. Since being summoned and losing his memories, since being thrown into this world, Kaladin had been empty. While repeating a life of simply living to live, and living not to die, he gradually built relationships. He held brothers in his heart, under the name of the Kaladin Family. And, as time passed, he found the most beautiful and radiant jewel of all that he had seen. “…..” He absolutely did not want to let go of that jewel. ———= Author’s Note ———= Um… I’m sorry. It looks like what I wrote in the comments last chapter is going to come out. There won’t be scat, time stuff, or gore. No infanticide either. But I’m not sure about the other one.
