episode_0428

I’m fine, but these are normal people.

Since I needed at least some rest, I decided to take a break and avoid the rain.

But that was just a moment.

A sharp deadly force had struck.

“Big Frey…!”

I quickly shook Big Frey awake.

That’s not just one or two.

Why on earth are there so many?!

“Wake up quickly…!”

About the height of a goblin.

Piranha-like guys with the unique ferocity of a monkey, the head of a wolf, and the claws of a cat!

There are hordes of devil monkeys everywhere!

“What happened suddenly in the middle of the night…”

“This is Haesoo! A group of devil monkeys are targeting me…!”

“Yes…?”

“If we keep doing this, we will all die…!”

He pulled out his halberd and aimed it at the eye light illuminated by the moonlight.

Big Frey looked around and became the flagship.

“Good weather!!! It’s an enemy attack!!! Wake up you bastards!!!”

Big Frey stood up, screaming.

Kyaaah!!!!

The group of devil monkeys, who took the loud voice as a threat, began to get excited.

“Do not make loud noises! Those guys have dirty personalities!”

The soldiers jump up and take out machetes.

Then, all six look at Big Frey like a machine with confused faces.

“Enemy? Are you an enemy?!”

“Yes! Enemy!”

“Calm down! As long as there is a confrontation, those guys will retreat on their own…!”

“Die────!!!!”

Six soldiers started running towards the demon monkey with machetes.

Holy shit!

“Listen to what people say───!”

So after a while.

The soldiers eventually succeeded in exterminating the demon monkeys.

Because I was covered in blood.

“The enemy has been annihilated!!!”

And then he celebrates like a warrior.

‘You crazy bastard!’

It seems like he thinks that if he wins, it will be a success.

If it weren’t for me, you two would have died!

“···Aren’t people’s words just like words?!”

“Ugh, why are you so annoyed?”

Big Frey cracks the thread and looks up at me.

Thanks to you, the outfit came out great.

“You know! They smell blood and come after you! ‘Blood attracts bad things.’ Don’t you know what that means?!”

Hosots are sensitive to the smell of blood and rust.

Even though I oil and clean my weapons every day to prevent them from rusting, there are people bleeding next to me?

Beyond the opportunistic sea creatures who gather at the smell of blood, it is obvious that everything from poachers to thieves will gather here!

I desperately suppressed my emotions.

‘···Let’s calm down.’

Because it already happened.

“You have to go to the river. You must wipe off the blood on your clothes and suture the wound.”

There is no way the torn leather can just stick together, and there is no thread.

It takes too long for epithelialization to occur.

“From here, head south. There is a stream there. Clean the wound with cold water and rub it with salt. I’m going to get wound suture materials and medicine and go up.”

···It smells like the sour acid of tusk ants.

Tightening the wound with this guy’s head… The smell of aloe and a spider’s nest that still has an owner.

If you just use a spider’s web, you may get an infection.

Crush the spices, aloe, and scented candles, squeeze out the juice, and apply.

Just wrap a torn cloth over it.

This is the limit of temporary hemostasis.

You might have to hide by the stream and wait for the bleeding to stop even just a little, but if you start moving, the wound will quickly open up.

─It would be better to rush out.

“Take a break and collect yourself. I will leave immediately after finishing treatment.”

I do not have time.

We started taking action right away.

On the way to collect materials, we had to dig up or throw away all the footprints or traces left by their heavy digging.

I did not give them the Precious Blood.

Because I already watched Galleon die.

Bringing out the medicine now would only attract negative attention, and if the brainwashing was released, there was a high possibility that chaos would break out.

“···It’s so boring.”

“Then, can you help me?”

“Do you know what that is and help me?”

···Hemostasis using spider silk has existed for thousands of years.

You don’t know that?

‘Maybe it’s because the history is short.’

“···No.”

“Ah, ahhh!!”

Mayer screams.

The size is so distracting, why is it so harsh?

“It hurts! It hurts!”

“Please be patient.”

Mayer looks down at me with tears in his eyes.

The soldiers who pinched the affected area with the heads of tusked ant bees were screaming in pain.

After that, it seemed like it started to regress a little more.

So much so that even if I raise a question, it won’t be pointed out.

“···Isn’t the condition of the soldiers too strange?”

“Don’t you know that we are Avengers?”

know.

I know, but the Avengers I knew from 15 years ago didn’t look like they had Alzheimer’s like that.

“Is this a hallucination?”

“What?”

Big Frey’s head jerks back and glares at me.

But soon he grinned and sighed as if he was fed up.

“Ha… How did you know that? No…what are you doing now…”

Big Frey mocked himself and leaned against a rock.

The meal was the devil monkey we hunted.

It was also a decision made because light dried meat had to be left as much as possible.

“Eat until your stomach explodes!”

Big Frey himself, who uttered those words, was chewing dried meat.

Under Big Frey’s instructions, the soldiers ate meat like anorexic people until they could not even speak.

Carnivorous animals cram a lot of food into their stomachs at once, so their stomachs expand relatively easily.

Thanks to this, I chewed and swallowed several kilometers of meat.

Since it was not possible to make a fire, meals consisted of raw food.

Even humans and elves ate raw food.

and.

“Huhuh…”

As the sun was setting, Tommy, the youngest human, started having diarrhea.

From what I could see, it looked like I had enteritis or something.

‘It’s all a bunch of smells.’

Vomiting, feces, dead devil monkey, stinging smell, stink.

This unusual and pungent smell attracts Hosott’s attention like a full moon on a dark night.

“What about the wound?”

“I think it’s okay.”

“Then let’s go now.”

The stream water cannot wash away this much odor.

If we delay any longer, our tail will be stepped on.

Some traces will remain, but it’s okay as long as you work hard from now on.

“Tommy.”

“Yes.”

“You stay. Disturb the enemies as much as possible and use this when you feel sick. Put down your luggage.”

Big Frey handed Tommy a packet of medicine.

Tommy calmly accepted this and handed his backpack to Big Frey like a doll without any emotions.

“Yes!”

I couldn’t understand.

‘If you give it to me, you’re dead!’

You know?

It contains the minimum necessities you need to use.

I can’t breathe.

I, too, was killed by a dragon like that in my past life.

Hatred began to bloom.

Fear was clearly shining in Tommy’s eyes.

But it is a castrated fear.

Half a penny’s worth of fear could only create a tolerable level of tension.

“I will try my best to block it.”

Tommy smiled and waved at us with an expression full of mission.

* * * * * *

“Would you like to eat it?”

This is dried meat taken out of Tommy’s bag.

Eat that?

“I’m not hungry.”

“Well, I need to eat something like this quickly.”

Big Frey, who was chewing the dried meat, handed the rest to the soldiers.

Although their comrades had been abandoned, these soldiers did not feel any sense of crisis.

Like a hunting dog raised by a hunter.

“···Don’t they understand us anymore?”

“That’s right.”

“You can get help by going to Dragonia. From now on, I will do it alone, so you can change your destination…”

“It’s impossible because of brainwashing.”

Are you saying you won’t hide it anymore?

Although I mentioned hallucinations first…

“What is that medicine?”

When he asked vaguely, Big Frey’s eyes were a mixture of self-deprecation and fear.

“Stimulants, drugs… things like that. When you’re sick, you look for medicine, right? When you take that medicine, your body heats up, so you ignite it.”

“If I’m not mistaken… are you saying that you turned a person into a bomb?”

“That’s not all. When you’re stressed, your thinking ability decreases, your conditioned reflex ability improves… you learn to listen to the commander’s orders… and you don’t feel fear.”

Big Frey stares at me.

Still mixing self-deprecation and fear.

“Do you still think we’re crazy?”

···When did you get caught?

Did you not manage your facial expressions properly?

“‘I’m crazy.’ This is something you say when you don’t understand the other person… or don’t want to understand them.”

Crazy people do not consider themselves crazy just because they are different from other people.

Because I understand myself better than anyone else.

So to me you are not crazy.

“What are you talking about?”

“At first I thought I was crazy, but not anymore.”

The crazy things are hallucinations and widowhood that I cannot understand with my magnanimity.

“Rather than being crazy… they seem a bit pitiful.”

A review like a child.

The soldiers glance at me.

When I saw the question mixed in that gaze, an indescribable feeling of frustration tightened my chest.

You don’t understand what I’m saying.

Intelligence regresses─

Kwaaa!!!

Food Duck──!

Birds were startled by the loud noise and flew away in all directions, and the sound of the explosion echoed in all directions.

When I think of the child’s last greeting, I feel an indescribable, squishy feeling.

······May your next life be happy and peaceful.

* * * * * *

The poor elf male had become the plaything of two Horsot and Terub.

“If you do that, you will catch a sexually transmitted disease.”

“What if you get caught? All you have to do is enjoy it.”

“Ugh!! Ugh! Hehehe!!!”

Tdu-duk!

Jericho bit the elf’s neck and shook it off.

The skin was torn apart and the hyoid bone in my neck was torn off.

The soldiers used the corpse as a plaything and began eating a meal with the scent of chestnut flowers.

The faces of the three are full of sadistic smiles.

It’s not about hunger, it’s about relieving accumulated stress.

“···Is it okay to eat people like that?”

“When people get sick, they stay at home and don’t come out, right? Human meat is one of the safest types of meat to eat raw. Plus, it’s pretty tasty.”

It wasn’t the answer I wanted, but I don’t know anymore.

The Avengers were machines that killed people.

In terms of being disrespectful to lions.

I don’t pay attention to things like that, but these guys were at the level of a robber.

Over the past two weeks, hundreds of people have died at the hands of avengers.

Big Frey caught my gaze and shrugged.

“I know what you want to say. But do you think they have intelligence?”

Gwont and Hawker chewed on dried meat next to the cannibalism scene as if they were not impressed at all.

With an erection.

I don’t know why or where I’m so excited.

“Isn’t that person a civilian?”

“What should I do? I have nothing to eat.”

The dried meat was captured from the luggage of a peddler who was being eaten.

He killed the peddler just to get the dried meat.

Since this was a fairly wide valley with rapids flowing, the smell quickly disappeared.

In the end, all that remained of the male elf was his severed head, spine, and lower pelvis.

This is because the ribs of the spine were pulled out, boned cleanly, and eaten.

While waiting for the three monsters who had thrown away the corpse without dignity and started to wash it, I followed Uzurey’s scent.

‘West.’

We had already overtaken Wuzuray a long time ago.

The smell is strong.

It was clear that it was heading this way.

“···It seems like they are interested in us.”

I sharpened my sense of smell to see if Shir was coming with me.

But there was no smell of sur.

‘Then does it smell like Shii?’

I found the faint scent I had smelled in the artificial flowers in front of the cenotaph.

and.

“Ha.”

I laughed out loud.

─There is.

Rexie is in Ymir’s tomb.

Although the smell is slightly different, this is definitely Lexi’s scent.

I have a desire to meet and exchange a few words, but I can’t.

Wouldn’t it be possible to find Isabelle’s scent now?

Han remained and sniffed.

“······”

As expected, Isabelle’s scent could not be found.

To begin with, Isabel has no smell.

Even if I assume it’s coming out now, I don’t know Isabelle’s scent.

How is he doing?

“···It looks like Immortal wants to welcome us.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“They are killing people so recklessly, of course I can’t stand by and watch it any longer.”

“I mean…how did you know?”

“This is a prediction based on abundant practical experience.”

“Ha.”

Big Frey burst out laughing.

If this momentum kills 500 people in just one month.

It is at the level of annihilating the personnel of a small or medium-sized battalion.

“Anything is fine, so you have to set a trap.”

I guess I couldn’t stay still.

─Uzurey has a grudge.

I am guilty of cutting off my brother’s hand and putting him in despair.

I’ll have to pay for it well.

“Anything?”

“Anything.”

A cruel smile appeared on Big Frey’s face.
