episode_0124

In the end, the molested Groots didn’t attack us.

“If you stay up all night and keep walking, you will leave the village around noon and arrive at Puri Village around evening. Let’s relieve our travel fatigue in Puri Village and return home leisurely.”

“Ugh! Root Village, Root Village!”

Jules laughs and says he likes what Shir said.

Even though it’s actually not that great of a place. A den of meat hungry cannibals. If they are hungry, they will even chew on the corpses of their neighbors.

When I think back on everything I’ve experienced, I don’t want to go to Root Village like that. Because that village is a waste of money for Ramrat.

“What’s wrong?”

Shir glances at me.

If you know it, it’s a natural thing, so what’s the big deal from Shir’s point of view? This is something that can be overlooked. If I heard something like that, even if I could understand it, I wouldn’t be able to interact with Shir, so I couldn’t speak out.

“You don’t have to know.”

“Wow…”

Shir glares at me and closes his mouth.

Soon, a blue light began to appear in this dark forest. The light is barely enough to see one inch ahead, but that alone is comforting.

The torch was completely burned out and could not be used.

After throwing away the torch and stamping it with his foot to extinguish the fire, he and Dennis took out a bow and walked away holding an arrow in one hand.

To check, Juul trampled on the torch and crushed the remaining flames. After I turned off the light, my eyes adjusted to the darkness and my vision began to widen.

“Is there anything?”

Jules, who was behind Julias’ question, only listened.

“Nothing much, it feels like Groots is chasing me from behind.”

····That’s not a big deal?! That weird guy is chasing me?!

“Hurry and run away! Before he catches up to me, I leave the forest…”

“Look at this. You said you were going to attack me again, right?”

Julias laughs mischievously.

····At this point, I don’t understand. What on earth is that animal’s nose so obsessed with?

“Julias, why are you so obsessed with Grootslang?”

“Groots’ nose is an incredibly detailed and sensitive area. The shape is simple, but it is more detailed than Ain’s hand. But that doesn’t mean it’s weak. When it comes to power control, there is nothing as unique as that nose.”

“····Force control?”

Julia lets out a moan.

“Let me give you an example. The moment the ogre grabs the fruit to eat it, the fruit will explode. Because Ogre is so strong.”

“So?”

“Although not as strong as Ogre, Grootslang’s nose is also quite strong. However, he is surprisingly good at controlling his strength. This is the power Shir needs.”

By following the root snake’s advice, Shir will transcend the limitations of his species. Julias was already considering adjusting the strength and weakness of the power that followed.

If your muscles are strong, the detail becomes less detailed, and if your muscles are weak, the details become more detailed. But Groots’ nose is outside of that causal relationship.

“Why on earth did Groots become so good at controlling his strength?”

“Because the nose is Groots’ hand, he wipes his behind, masturbates, and when mating…”

“I die.”

Jules rolled his eyes.

Julia just smiled slyly. ···My eyes were getting used to the darkness, but I couldn’t see clearly. But these two seem to see each other’s faces clearly even in this darkness.

“It is the truth of the world that there are ugly roots under beautiful flowers. What difference do you think it will make if we find out just a few years earlier?”

“Lamia can say that because she lives a long time, our lifespan is only 100 years.”

“If there is so little time left, do you think it would be better to learn worldly life quickly?”

“Did your parents tell you about death from the time you were born? Everything will be figured out naturally when the time comes───.”

“Is Julias frustrated?”

Julia froze.

The face is facing this way, but it’s dark so I can’t see what the face is. Jules soon started laughing heartily.

“Of course it’s because the size doesn’t fit. He lives so long that his body length is almost as long as Wyom───.”

“Can you get excited if you poke a painful spot?”

Julia turned to Jules and snorted.

Dennis was laughing lightly, wondering what was so funny, and Schirmann approached me.

“Sihyeon, what is masturbation?”

oh my god. All four people’s eyes were focused on me.

“···It means self-consolation. I feel lonely because I live alone, so I make things like dolls. And treat it like it’s your own family.”

“······It’s so pitiful.”

“Yes. It’s pathetic. Especially the feeling of self-destruction after a family game…”

“Are you saying that to me?”

“Yes? no. Did your parents tell you?”

Julia was staring at me in the dark.

I tried to ignore Shir’s question, but I stumbled in the wrong place. Is it really possible to play with dolls?

“Ugh. Look at that smirk. Who on earth do you resemble…”

“You, bitch.”

*

As the sun rose, there was no need to worry about Groots anymore.

I couldn’t help it because I couldn’t see it at night, but now all I had to do was move on.

“The headwind has been blowing since a while ago, and it’s hard to find Groots’ scent.”

Jules rubbed his nose.

“Well, you’re sure they’re behind us, right?”

“That’s right.”

Slurp—!

The sound of a dagger being drawn is heard.

It’s as if you’re in a fighting position.

“Jwiyul. I’m just saying this, but you shouldn’t cut your nose?”

“Is Groots funny? If I get bitten───.”

“You’re immune to poison.”

“Poison doesn’t work on Juul?”

Julia looks at me with a sallow face.

“Ask yourself.”

The end really…

When I looked at Jool, he was sitting on the ingot being dragged and looking back.

“Jul, is what Julia said true?”

“It’s thanks to the blessings of our ancestors. Thanks to this, you have to drink enough to fill your stomach to get a little drunk. No hangover.”

Come to think of it, Jules was known as a drunkard in the village.

No one has ever seen Juul in such a state of insanity…

“Have you ever been drunk once before? On the day I left the root snake’s abode, when you met me in the village at dawn.”

“I drank strong liquor that day.”

“Solo?”

There would be distilled spirits in the South, where distillation technology is not popular.

“It is the strongest liquor in the world, made by mixing dragon venom.”

······Did you really mean alcohol mixed with poison?

Even Amor’s holy blood can’t cure the dragon’s poison? There must be something that neutralizes the poison, like wasp liquor, but it is still dragon poison.

“Still, it makes no sense to say that poison doesn’t work. You said that to me before, right? They say they don’t like the poison of the widow viper.”

“I’ve never been bitten by one, but I’m sure every other hosot hates it. Because countless hosots died from that poison during the war.”

I tried to offer a counterargument, but swallowed it.

Because Juul itself makes no sense in the first place. Juul is something supernatural.

“It’s the end of the forest!”

“It’s all here!”

Dennis’s steps became a little faster due to the good news.

Shir also seemed to be missing the sunlight, so he started running.

Of course, this was the same for me, so I ran out─────.

“Coming!”

Coming?

“Yes?”

Juul kicked the ingot he was riding on, and it shot out into the forest.

The tonne-sized ingot rolls several times due to its anti-elasticity and comes to a stop in front of Julias’ tail.

“Heui Iik──?!”

Thanks to this, Julias started the fight and quickly retreated.

In the forest, Grootsrang is running in a gorilla-like stance. Because his shoulders are very wide, it looks that way.

What’s scary is that there are no footsteps coming from him.

Faba Park!

The nose that was about to shoot towards Juul, curled up like a poisonous snake, hurriedly covered his eyes. Garin Coen Dennis’ arrow was stuck.

Understanding and blocking human weapons. Beast!

Juul’s weapon is barely a dagger.

Even if you lock yourself in, it’s clear that you won’t be able to inflict fatal damage! Grootslang’s huge paw knocked Xur away.

Sigh!

“Jul?!”

Juul ran out with great momentum and flew far away.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

A large bolt plunged into Grootslang’s body and tore it apart.

Shir got scared, ran into the forest, and started firing back. Only then did I come to my senses.

Only after being hit with a heavy crossbow did Groots recognize us and start running towards us.

“Kyaaa?!”

Shir says he is scared and shoots more.

Thanks to this, Grootslang was rushing towards Shir.

“Shir! Stay back!”

I also started shooting all the arrows I could find.

No matter where you look, everyone is a target, but the eyes that are most likely to be stared at are covered by Groots’ nose.

“I knew that Groots was smart, but I didn’t know he would catch me off guard like this.”

As Yulias gestured with a relaxed expression, a haze began to rise around Grootslang’s face.

Buaaa!!!!!

What would happen if a cougar’s scream mixed with the loud scream of an elephant?

Grootsrang covers his eyes with both hands and rubs them. I made a face! Before I knew it, Juul rushed towards me like a moon and immediately jumped onto Grootslang’s shoulder.

“Die!!!”

Juul cut off the back of Grootsrang’s neck with a small, wrist-length dagger.

Sigh!!!

Blood splattered on my white hair.

It’s barely a dagger. It is not of a thickness or length that will never be cut off. The skin that even the arrow could not pierce was torn apart with a dagger like that. Grootslang, whose throat was cut by that single knife, screamed and shook his head, scratching his head with both paws to get Jool off.

Juul kicks the approaching hand with his foot…

Phew────!

Groots is rolling around.

─A man kicked an elephant and sent it flying.

Buaaaa────!

Groots broke his leg and couldn’t stand up.

·····I got kicked by a person and the elephant’s leg broke! How did I get hit by that person and not break my hand? The leather is too thick for the arrow to stick in, so there is nothing I can do.

Zul began to cut off Grootslang’s head.

Geaaaa────!!!

As Groots writhed in pain, Jool slapped the top of his head as if he was annoyed────

Pretzel!

Groots’ head fluttered from the blow.

My skull exploded! At the same time, even the eyeballs, which had turned white from burns, popped out due to the pressure, and the tusks on both sides that were in contact with the floor were shattered and flying in all directions.

The impact caused dust to spread everywhere.

Discordant silence settled on a single fist. ···Did you just crush the elephant’s skull with your fist?

“Jul, what on earth…”

Juul twitched and got off Grootslang’s neck.

“Did you beat him to death? That?”

“I guess his bones were mushy because he couldn’t eat.”

That’s crazy.

In the silence that fell, Julias sighed.

“It’s because you’re ignorant. How expensive is ivory so you smashed it?”

“What value is there in such a withdrawn thing?”

Jules kicked away the broken ivory.

Perhaps it was just something he said, but Julias didn’t seem interested in ivory. Julia cut off Grootslang’s nose with a water blade.

Grumbling─

An unknown light pink foreign substance flowed from its nose.

“Kill it nicely! Your brain refluxed!”

····brain?

Yulias was disgusted and started pouring water on the cut side of Grootslang’s nose.

Soon, bloody material started flowing out from the tip of my nose.

It was his brain.

“Ugh!”

Yulias, who had become thoughtful, sprinkled water on Groots’ nose for a long time.

Jules cut open the creature’s stomach and took out the heart and liver.

Of course, because the heart was almost as big as my body, I couldn’t even eat half of it and threw it away.

weird. Groots and I are obviously extremely strong sea creatures, right? Does that mean it goes down in one hit?

Common sense is shaken.

“···Zul is a half-ogre?”

“Don’t be crazy.”

I did my best to dodge Juul’s attempt to hit me while laughing.

Where to go with bloody hands! Jules tilts his head at me.

“If you get hit, you might die.”

“Bah, it’s because the truth just came out inadvertently!”

In other words, if you really make Juul angry from now on, it will end up in a six-part episode. Anyway, why are you so surprised?

“First, wash your hands.”

Jules looked at his hands and then nodded, seeming to understand. Is this his intention to finish his job just because he is soaked in blood? Jules picked up the dagger and started cutting into Grootslang’s spine, ripping off the guy’s back.

“Because it’s a male, it stinks, but the sirloin is just as delicious as the nose.”

Although it is simply sirloin, it is longer than Jules’ body length.

Of course, there are some that Juul brought out, such as tenderloin, but it is that big.

A guy like that is nothing to Juul.

Dennis also approached Grootsrang’s body, retrieved the arrow, and began stockpiling meat to feed the cockatrice. Grootslang’s hunt, which started out of curiosity, ended in a gruesome death.

Although the species and situation were different, I still felt pity for him.

Just a little bit.
