20. Garam Settlement in Danger (2)

By the time we arrived at Garam, it was already too late.

From the entrance, numerous wolf-shaped demons and lycanthropes approach the huge rock wall surrounding the museum behind them.

Scattered around them were body parts of unidentifiable people.

” Forgive me… I can’t! ”

A sudden cold chill began to spread around us.

The sticky blood flowing down between the corpses soon turned into red ice, and the demons that had been glaring at us began to stand on end.

One, two summoned beasts of the spell

He looked so angry that all the summons he had seen so far came out.

He rode the Marina Rion and ran away.

” Yeonseo! ”

” Charlotte, let’s clean up the area first. Then you can go after Yeonseo. Yeonseo’s summons aren’t weak. ”

I was worried about Yeonseo, who had gone off alone in a fit of rage, but I decided to clean up the area, thinking that Yeonseo’s summons would protect her, just as Hyunseok had said.

He quickly sent divine power to Rosario, put on his protective gear, and took out Durandal.

” Phew, what should I do? ”

” First, let’s gather the wolves and eliminate them, then go to Yeonseo, who went to the Lycan Slope. ”

” Okay, then I’ll go left. ”

” Okay. I’ll drive from the right. Be careful, okay? ”

To respond to his concern for me, I slightly stood up and placed my lips on his.

As I pulled away with a short “Pick!” sound, I saw his flushed face.

” You should be careful too? ”

After saying that, I quickly ran in the direction where I was going to deal with the demon.

The kiss was very brief, but I caressed his lips that still had warmth in them as I swung my sword at the demon in front of me.

*****

As I ran towards the left, centering on the pond in the middle, wolves rushed towards me.

” Ha! Sorry, but I’ve dealt with you guys before?! ”

Although I had never faced the Lycan Slope, the werewolf that Hyunseok and Yeonseo had talked about, they were the first demons in the form of wolves that I had faced.

At that time, I had not yet adapted to this body, and my ability to use divine power was far behind what it is now, but it is different now.

” Ardvar! Shoot! ”

As you run, lightly dodge the wolf’s charge in front of you to the left, and at the same time quickly cut its neck from below to above.

He created hundreds of flame spears called ‘Ardvar’ and fired them at the guys.

Wolves that are impaled on windows with a bang, bang, bang! sound and then explode or burn.

Those guys who stopped coming to me when their own people were being treated. But I won’t stop just because they stopped.

” You guys shouldn’t exist. You play with people’s hearts. ”

I ran straight forward again, passing by the guys in front of me and quickly cutting off their heads one by one as I headed towards the building in front of me.

There, wolves rushed at me from all sides, feeling that they could no longer escape from me.

” Atlantis! ”

I blocked the attacks of the guys rushing towards me with the circular flame shield ‘Atlantes’ and blew them up.

But the wolves didn’t stop and kept running from all directions.

Quickly swinging Durandal, he slashes a wolf running from the left diagonally from top right to bottom left, then turns his body around.

He grabbed the Durandal he was holding in his right hand with his left hand and slashed it vertically from bottom to top at another wolf that jumped in from the right.

I swung Durandal in all directions as if dancing at the wolves that were rushing in faster and faster.

How many times did I swing it? Now there was no wolf rushing at me, and a lake of blood made of black blood was created around me.

” We can’t leave something this dirty in a place that people worked so hard to build. ”

As he snaps his fingers, pure white flames appear and begin to burn the lake of black blood and the corpses scattered around it.

” So, you won’t jump in? ”

I turned my head to look back and saw people coming out of the building and approaching me.

” Oh… Thank you! You came to save us! ”

One by one, people slowly approached me and said thank you.

[ No, they are not people. They are beasts in human form. ]

A voice echoing in my head.

With a whoosh! sound that cut through the air, I went into their arms and cut off their heads with Durandal.

” Huh… why…?! ”

With a “Push!” sound, a fountain of black blood poured from their necks.

” Ah~ How did you know? I can see it with my own eyes. You guys who give off the aura of a dirty evil spirit. ”

As I purified the evil spirit’s energy and gradually accepted that energy into my body, the voice in my head answered my question by saying that I could clearly see the energy contained in their bodies.

” Grrr! I got caught, so there’s nothing I can do…! ”

A werewolf, a lycanthrope, who rushes at me without hiding his identity while saying such things.

He quickly swung his neck from left to right to cut off the neck of the guy who was rushing at him, then struck the next guy who was approaching him with a strong vertical strike from above.

But this guy seemed quite experienced and blocked my sword with his claws.

” Kreuk! What power…! ”

” Hmm, those nails are pretty strong and sharp, huh? Of course, compared to Durandal, they’re just paper. ”

To see how strong their claws were, I struck them with a Durandal that wasn’t enchanted with divine power, and found that they were strong enough to block them.

Durandal, which was not enchanted with divine power, was still a strong and sharp sword, as it was a treasured sword given by the gods, but it seemed that it could block even the most powerful attacks from beasts imbued with the power of the evil gods.

Well, I guess I can’t do that anymore.

With a “squeak!” sound, the claws of the guy who was blocking Durandal were cut off, and at the same time, his body was split in half.

” Huh…! Even if you’re strong… the guy who turned the other way won’t be able to do that..! In the memories we took away, he was weak to people hahaha! ”

At that sound, something in my head snapped.

” Hey. Say it again. What did Hyunseok say…? ”

An energy so strong that I couldn’t even imagine it came from my body spread out toward the guys.

The guys who remained in that aura were looking at me, one by one, stepping back, and my reflection in their eyes was…

He had a strange black pattern on his forehead and was smiling strangely.

*****

After breaking up with Charlotte, Hyun-seok went in the opposite direction and was in a very awkward position.

It wasn’t that hard to defeat the wolves. It was just the ones that came after that that were tricky.

At first, I thought I had saved a child who had not been able to escape, but then I saw a beast with sharp claws and furry hands attacking me.

He was startled when he unknowingly cut the child’s body with the blade of wind, but soon realized that it was a ‘demon beast’ disguised as a human, and his trembling heart regained its composure.

” Haa, haa, even pretending to be a child…! ”

Unlike Charlotte, who was able to distinguish between demons and humans by absorbing the spirits of evil spirits while purifying them, he was unable to distinguish between humans and demons and was unable to attack those who approached him.

Thinking about his family who died because of his own mistakes, it was too difficult for him to ever kill someone again.

So, at that moment, he just let them follow him as long as they didn’t attack him, and he just counterattacked the guys who attacked him.

He felt something strange as he saw Charlotte approaching him from afar.

Unlike the usual Charlotte… she was filled with an incredible sense of murderous intent, and the hairs on her arms were standing on end, warning of danger.

” Charlotte? ”

As I spoke to her, she quickly disappeared and something fell behind me with a thud.

I slowly turned my body and head to look, and there were the bodies of people who had their throats cut off without even realizing that they had cut them off, and heads rolling on the floor.

I was surprised to see her suddenly cut down a person, but I felt a little relieved when I saw the black blood flowing from the cut body, and the moment I grabbed her shoulder!

He heard a “slap!” and quickly jumped back to dodge, but as he felt blood flowing down his cheek, he realized that he had not dodge perfectly.

” Wake up! ”

He spoke to her so loudly, but her eyes were empty and the strange pattern carved into her forehead caught his eye.

” What the… what the heck…?! ”

The moment she tilted her head slightly and lowered her body slightly, I felt a murderous intent and quickly created a wall with the wind and dodged backwards, but her figure was not visible.

At the same time, he felt the malice behind him and bent down, causing his hair to flutter slightly.

” Damn it! I don’t know what the hell happened… but this is self-defense! Charlotte! ”

He pushed her away by blowing wind from his body, and the moment she lost her balance, he went behind her and hugged her.

” Please! Come to your senses! ”

He was surprised at how his body was being dragged around by her wildness, but he hugged her more tightly and shouted her name in her ear.

I thought he had come to his senses when he stopped for a moment, but soon he was stabbed in the leg by the sword.

” Ugh! ”

But he felt that if he let her go, he could no longer stop her, so he created a blade of wind.

” Sorry! ”

He cut off her arm, which was holding the sword.

With a “Push-shuuk!” sound, warm blood spurted out of her arms, and her flailing body gradually came to a halt and fell down.

” Charlotte…! ”

Let’s quickly stop the bleeding on her arm and look at her face.

The strange black pattern that had been there until just now had disappeared.
