CLXXXVI.

Planta Carnívŏra.

The reason why this man-eating plant from the Demon Realm can even eat demons is that when it takes life force, it multiplies until all of the life force it has absorbed is consumed.

Above all, if any part of your body gets stuck in the tentacle, you will lose consciousness due to the narcotic substances flowing out of the tentacle, and you will suffer from all kinds of hallucinations and pleasure until your life force is sucked out, and you will die.

who?

Human?

No. Their original habitat is the Demon World.

So their prey ranges from demons to the devil.

How bad must it be, a narcotic ingredient that even the demons can’t easily get rid of?

So when dealing with Planta Carnivora, the best way is to just burn it.

Of course, it would be impossible to burn it with normal fire, and it would require at least Circle 7 fire magic.

It was a breeze for our party to create fire on par with the fire magic of Circle 7.

but,

“Because I have to pull it out by the roots… … .”

The witch was muttering as she looked at the magic tree writhing in front of her.

So what’s the safest and best way to deal with these man-eating plants without using fire like a witch?

“I can’t help it. I don’t think it will work with just dirt.”

The witch opened a space in the air as if it was a waste and shot something dark and blurry towards Karniwora.

Thud. Thud thud!

It flew like a large rock and dug into the tentacles of the writhing Karnivora,

“Hmm? Metal?”

It was a metal. And judging by its dark color, it was a peculiar alloy that had been included in the catalysts requested when the curse was placed on the royal families of Clytten and Alfonso not long ago.

“Insúrgo Autŏmătárĭum!”

Kiing―. Kiiing―!

The metal reacts to the witch’s words and raises her body.

It grew in size as it absorbed the metal scattered around it.

“Golem?”

“This is Automatarium. This is the one we used the most at Walpurgis. We used to call it Atom for short. ”

lie!

Is that copyright ok?

“Automatarium. It’s been a while.”

The disciplinary officer who was guarding me from the side and watching over the nobles pretended to know that.

“Do you know?”

“Yes. After seeing the witches’ Atom, humans and dragons started making golems.”

“Hmm? Is there a difference?”

Actually, it didn’t look much different from a regular golem. The only difference was that it was made of a special alloy, making it stronger?

“Yes, there is.”

“Are you there?”

“As you can see… … .”

The punishment man opened his palm as if he was just coming out and politely pointed to the golem guy named Atom.

And I,

“Crazy?”

The words just came out naturally.

“Using divine power? On a golem topic?”

“Atom first, Golem later.”

Even with the punishment, I couldn’t come to my senses. Now, the golem, which had grown to nearly 3 meters tall and had fully raised its body, was wrapped in a clear divine power.

As if I had energy in both my hands instead of the sword.

It may be that it is hidden in the tentacles and cannot be seen, but judging by the light spreading throughout the body, there must be something similar to fist energy flowing through the legs as well. Should I call it leg energy?

Do you remember the question I asked earlier?

What is the next best method besides burning it with fire?

The method the witch is showing you now will do.

You can use a golem.

And if that golem is a special entity called ‘Atom’ that can even wear divine powers on its body,

“Are you a farmer?”

You can see the skills of a skilled farmer.

Start by clearing the area around the plant by grabbing a few tentacles at a time and tying them with other tentacles.

And then this time he reaches out to the ground and creates a long, thick metal skewer, just like when he first created his body.

Then, he infuses the metal with divine power, gathers several tentacles that are already bound together, and bends the metal skewers into an aluminum can and binds them together.

The tentacles keep thrashing around, and they keep coming towards Atom’s body to bump into him, but they are unable to absorb the life force from Atom.

From Karniwora’s perspective, would you say this is the worst matchup?

Atom, who was organizing the tentacles like a skilled farmer or herbalist, succeeded in organizing the nearly hundred tentacles into four bundles.

Then the Atoms turned their gaze towards the witch. They were expressionless lumps of metal, but I felt that they were asking for some kind of permission in their gaze.

“Start!”

And the moment the witch nodded and gave permission, as if my guess was correct,

―K-arrr!!!

The four atoms simultaneously pulled the tentacle mass towards them, and as if lending their strength, a storm of mana rose from the witch’s body.

Even if it was just a giant tree that was taking root, it would have already escaped with the intensity of the mana the witch was spewing out right now.

But that hideous, suffering plant from the Demonic Cultivation Mountain is not one that has roots in the first place. They even say it moves, so how could its roots be intact?

The roots that came out so easily with a ‘whoosh’ looked like a giant stake with no fine roots, like a radish.

The roots of the carnivora, which are dark and look like a giant male genitalia, are just outside, but they flop around and thrash around like a fish thrown out of water.

No, it’s not.

That’s not what it means.

“Huh? Is it corroding?”

“To be exact, it’s burning up with the divine power in the air.”

“Why?”

“… Well, I guess it’s just because I was born that way.”

Whenever Arcana spoke of something, I would now habitually ask, “Why?” Because whenever I asked, they would always give me an answer. And those stories were as exciting as my grandfather’s old tales.

So when I told him that the punishment was like that, I couldn’t help but look a little surprised and dumbfounded.

“I’m sorry, Master. I’ll definitely find out. He was fine underground, but he came out and became like this… … . I guess the earth spirits are the problem, right?”

No. That can’t be it.

“It seems like the spirit life has been too comfortable these days.”

Isn’t that right?

Last time, was it the fire spirit or the earth spirit that came to me and cried and begged me to spare my life?

If you want, you’re willing to make an unfair spirit contract?

“Yeah.”

But I couldn’t tell the serious punishment the truth. Our Eun-gwi (secretly cute) punishment was too serious. It was a palace script.

It was as if the witch had known from the beginning how to catch the man-eating plant of the demon world, as she took the plant out and let it slowly wither and die.

If the witch used Atom, an improved version of Golem, how did May catch this demonic man-eating plant?

If the witch has an automatarium, May has one.

“Palace! Don’t give up!”

There is a divine general.

And after May made a perfect pair with the Fair Card, she did not hesitate to use the Rat God General and the Gapja God General, Gungbira.

In severe cases, there were even instances where the house maid would be summoned to do the work and have her do it in an orderly manner.

oh my god.

A cleaning rat.

Anyway, the beings called Shinjang (神將) are beings who manifest as spirits on the flag with the twelve zodiac signs, which is Mei’s magical tool.

There is no such thing as a life force that can be sucked out.

Actually, the fastest and easiest way would be to just have the clown summon a mini-clown and throw it on the tentacles, and they’ll be taken care of in no time.

At most 5 minutes?

However, this method was rejected due to the strong opposition of May and the witch.

Anyway, May’s favorite kidney, the Gapjasinjang Palace Bee, and the man-eating plant from the Demonic Realm are making a bet to see who can have more kidneys.

What are you talking about?

They are competing to see which has more tentacles: the Planta Carnivora or the Gungbira.

Of course, the outcome of the confrontation is obvious.

If Mei’s palace guards had the power to do so, they could increase infinitely, and Mei had the power to summon enough palace guards to handle the number of tentacles.

And just like the witch did, the number of tentacles was greater than the number of palace guards, so the roots appeared above the ground, and it ended up being consumed by divine power.

You might think we’re being too playful.

I will not refute that statement.

Actually, I’m not, we’re just taking it easy and doing it playfully.

One reason is that it is not good to do something while being nervous, but the more decisive reason is that we play around calmly.

Squeak!

“Huh?!”

That’s because there must be someone who has another ulterior motive, to the point where it’s safe to say this.
