episode_0568

Once the destination was decided, there was no need to meet people face to face.

There were all kinds of living things.

But it seemed to me that they were all flawed creatures.

I’m not a biologist.

However, as I encountered Juul and all the sea creatures in the south, I felt first-hand how dangerous they were.

Seodanggae also recite Pungwol every three years.

But what I learned at Seodang did not apply here.

Ahhh

Anne, who made eye contact with the deer, screamed.

Shir is also scared and hides using me as a shield.

＂······!＂

Chicken flesh sprouted.

It’s just a deer. The horns are abnormally large.

But the deer I know doesn’t carry the six heads of other deer.

Wow ──

Flies are swarming, and maggots crawl out of the head of another hanging deer.

“under···!”

Even the shipyard manager and Jules looked surprised.

Because he looked like an evil god from mythology.

However, the way it ran away immediately was no different from an ordinary deer.

“···There’s something strange about the creatures here.”

“It’s not just strange.”

That deer wasn’t the only strange thing.

The hedgehog’s thorns were sharp and hard like iron needles.

Plus a unicorn.

As the hedgehog passed by, he stepped on it and a thorn root pierced its body, causing it to die.

‘I didn’t even step on it too hard.’

Shir looked at the hedgehog even though he was in pain.

However, when they saw that the thorn had pierced through its abdomen and it was dead, they threw it away.

Moreover, instead of running away from the horse, the unicorn tried to catch the person with its horn.

I sneakily dodged it and kicked it with my legs, and it fell apart.

“···I should have taken that horse to Pangea earlier.”

Lexi, who loved horses, still seemed displeased with having cut off the guy’s life.

“What should I do now? They said they couldn’t save me.”

“Isn’t it all because you broke your leg while walking?”

“I guess she’s angry because she’s not a virgin.”

Lexi tilts her head at Ella’s words.

“They say it’s a unicorn and likes virgins. “It’s a creature from the legends of hell.”

“Where is that thing?”

There are a lot of things like that.

This world is a treasure trove of life that has its origins on Earth.

“···It seems like the animal’s wish was granted maliciously.”

Ella, who was a knight, also seemed to have had a fantasy about a unicorn.

“It was the same with the bird I saw on the first day.”

A dinosaur with an ostrich-like body and a huge beak.

I still don’t know if it’s a bird or a dinosaur.

The reason I thought he looked like a dinosaur was because of his degenerated hands.

“I still don’t know why you were stuck there.”

Shir grumbles bitterly.

“A bird’s feet are usually its hands and weapons, right? But he used his mouth.”

Even though the bird has a small head, it fights with its feet.

Only those with particularly long beaks can peck and bite.

Those guys also have thick necks or small heads because they can’t bear the load.

“And the cockatrice had wings, but you didn’t.”

But it wasn’t him.

If it had wings like an ostrich or cassowary, it would be able to change direction quickly.

＂Shii uses its wings and tail to maintain balance.＂

“Even if you are pushed, if you flap the opposite wing, you will gain balance.”

“That’s why that person is good at fighting. “It’s a complete scam, right?”

By beating the air with wings and rotating the body.

Therefore, even if the Rectalian stumbles, it does not fall.

“It’s about skill.”

“If I had three more arms, I would be as good as Shii.”

“This guy?”

I ran away to avoid Lexi’s flying hand.

“Damage?!”

“What are you planning on doing like this?! Ah?!”

Edeline, Seth, Isabelle, and Lexi understood at once.

But Sur and Anne still seemed like they didn’t know.

“Why is that important?”

“Without wings, you can’t change direction quickly.”

“Think about when Tinch, the cockatrice, is hunting, or when a gye soldier is running.”

“There are hands on the wings, and you bend your body by flapping them, right?”

-But it didn’t have wings.

In other words, the opponent who does not need a sudden change of direction is the prey.

‘A prey that can’t change direction?’

Of course, there is no such prey.

Change of direction is a basic skill that even a rat can do.

Therefore, no matter how hungry the theropod dinosaur was, it would not be able to catch and eat the fleeing gazelle.

The ostrich is capable of that, and even carnivores do it the same way dogs do chickens.

Cockatrices are also one of the top predators in Pangea.

“Moreover, the legs and neck are long. The head is big too.”

‘It is anatomically difficult for ostriches to attack opponents of low stature.’

Cockatrices support and grab the ground with their wings, but they are not dinosaurs.

If I hadn’t met Dennis and Tinch, I would never have known.

“So, what is the conclusion?”

“There is no living thing that can be eaten by this guy. This is something heterogeneous.”

“But you appeared in front of us.”

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

Ella smiles and shrugs.

“···Does it feel like a child who doesn’t know anything is holding a double-edged sword?”

“yes. It’s an accurate analogy.”

“You try to swing it cool, but you get cut by your own sword.”

As Ella said, this world is strange.

There was no need to think about who gave the animal the double-edged sword.

‘Why on earth do you make animals like that?’

Is the world a toy?

Rustling─

Incheok steals attention.

Everyone stopped and looked towards the place where they heard the noise.

The person who appeared before our eyes was none other than a human being.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw it was ‘huge.’

At the same time, a strange thought occurred to me.

Because his very existence was like a fat man.

‘Hercules? The strongest creature on earth?

He’s two heads taller than me.

Approximately 2.3m.

Looking at its size, it is clear that it weighs easily over 200 kg.

Moreover, he is 9 heads tall.

He looked closer to a god than a person.

He was covered in rawhide, but the animal skin could not hide his perfect body.

The muscles visible through the clothes aroused admiration from the onlookers.

＇What on earth is that?＇

I don’t know how they made a body like that.

Wouldn’t bodybuilders feel ashamed when they see that person?

His body was so beautiful that I was jealous.

The man was glaring at the shipyard director with his eyes straight open.

In his hand, he held a spear that looked like a siege ballista bullet.

‘It’s not for javelin throwing.’

When hunting large animals, a javelin is usually thrown.

However, if they realize that they are strong, they choose to stab them to death.

That was the difference between ordinary people and the powerful.

I smiled softly and greeted the man.

“Do you have any business for us?”

“Whose children are they?”

Whose children are they?

‘Do we look like children?’

How often are you mistaken for a teenager?

It was fun yet embarrassing.

“…Everyone here is an adult?”

The man glances at me.

“···Go back home. “I’ll take care of that guy.”

It seemed like we were children.

The shipyard manager looks at him with wide eyes.

And then in the end, I just laughed it off.

“Unfortunately, I am also an Ain.”

But there is no answer.

“These are not subhumans like you. Plus, they’re all adults.”

Even if I explain it again, it’s the same.

He approached the shipyard commander with his spear pointed at him.

This is where I end up laughing out loud.

“Even kindness has its limits. “Please don’t aim your spear at my friend.”

Not reconsidering your conclusions.

It was a high posture typical of a wild, independent child.

However, judging from the way he speaks, he is probably not an independent person.

Moreover, the body is condensed and tense like a spring.

I threw a rock that fell on the floor at him.

Tuk!

＂──────!＂

The stoned man looks at me in astonishment.

It would be a lot of pressure, but it was obvious that the shipyard commander would have attacked the moment he moved.

“Don’t you say you’re my friend?”

＂···Insolent bastard!＂

“If you extend that window, it won’t go through.”

A man who was wary of the shipyard director but backed away approached me.

Then he glances at me, turns around and pounds his fist.

Sooo!

＇It’s not a sound that would come from a person’s fist.＇

Despite its large action, it attacks quickly.

Thanks to this, I almost got hit even though I read the omen and avoided it.

Sigh!

Even as my fist passed by, it felt like my skin was being swept away.

Men didn’t just weigh more and have more muscular bodies.

‘The muscles themselves are different from humans.’

If I hadn’t avoided it, my head would have exploded with one punch.

Lexi pulled out the spear and stabbed the man in the thigh in one go.

Sigh!

＂Aaaagh───?!＂

A man who screamed loudly attacked Lexi, but he kicked the air with his wings and retreated.

He limped away from us.

“Just go on your way.”

“You idiot! “I’m trying to help you!”

“Don’t you say this person is my friend?”

“Don’t believe it! “I’m deceiving you!”

The man pointed at Lexi and the shipyard manager, who were clearly different types compared to humans.

As if he had a grudge.

“He’s hunting us! “They’re kidnapping a child like you!”

It was funny that they thought we were their children, but what could they do?

In this world, if you have fair skin, you are a child.

Because most people die before their twenties like military officers.

‘Thank you for looking at me like I’m young.’

However, I was not happy about accusing my companion of being a kidnapper.

“How many times do you tell me that you are my friend?”

“friend?! He must have asked to go to El Costera!”

The man glances at me in an exasperated voice.

＇El Costera?＇

This is the village we are going to.

It must have been said to try to get a feel for the other side as well.

I ended up nodding my head inadvertently as the situation appealed to me.

“yes. Is there something going on there?”

“···under!”

The man sighed as if he was controlling his anger.

Then he continued speaking in a listless tone.

“The nymph is brainwashing the children! Children lose their parents and are raised by nymphs!”

Of course, his expression quickly became filled with anger.

“Why? Why do you do that?”

＂Why would you do that?! “I’m doing this to raise you and make you my slave!”

‘Raising humans as slaves?’

No matter how beastly you live, your parents are your parents.

Therefore, even if a child is abused, he or she does not leave his or her parents’ care until he or she grows up.

It is now clear that the prophet and the nymph are in a cooperative relationship.

I looked closely at the angry man.

Because it was so funny how speechless I was.

‘Before he was stabbed by Lexi, he was acting self-righteous.’

It was humanly necessary to come to your senses only when you were in pain.

And why did Cambion notice me like that?

＇I lost my child, but what is lacking is why I stay quiet.＇

These people had a conflict with the demons of the human world due to the prophet’s atrocities.

“Were your children taken there too?”

“okay! It’s not just my son. Everyone was dragged away! And you too!”

“Haa···. Didn’t you say no from the beginning?”

I narrowed my eyes and looked straight at the man.

“These people are part of my group, and I’m the one who asked them to come with us.”

“···what?”

Only then did the man have a dumbfounded expression on his face.

I kept the lie I had prepared in my mouth.

＂We are Cambion.＂

“I’m so sorry for what happened to you.”

“But we just go to work and get paid. These are the people who guard us.”

The man frowns and examines us.

Just for a moment.

＂······!＂

In the end, he ends up looking embarrassed.

It seems that only then did we realize that our faces were quite presbyopic.

He stepped back as if wary of us, and then quickly began to run away.

The situation that started out of nowhere calmed down in vain.

Thanks to this, it was inevitable that the atmosphere would become chaotic.

＂Really…what on earth is that guy doing?＂

The man sneered towards the forest he fled to.

Yet, deep down, I was amazed.

＇Your chest size will be the same as your height.＇

The jealousy I feel toward him even creates a desire for voyeurism disguised as curiosity.

Because this is the first time in my life that I have seen a person with such a perfect body.

It may have been love at first sight.

For the first time in my life, I felt deprived of being born as a human.

＂···What kind of demi-human is that?＂

In the end, I couldn’t overcome my curiosity and ended up looking at Seth.

Let’s wait for a moment for Seth’s eyes to lose focus.

“yes?”

She asks the dragon back and tilts her head.

Soon, the eyes returned to focus and turned towards me.

＂You say that mankind is being eliminated?

With sounds I don’t understand.

“What do you mean?”

“They say those people were the first humans created on Pangea.”

The first humans were close to perfection.

However, the labels attached to them were incomprehensible to my common sense.

＇Selected species?＇

If that’s an extinct species, then what are we?

I couldn’t understand at all.

Who can say that Hercules was eliminated?

Even Seth, who spoke, had a mesmerized expression on his face.

＂······How can that be a selected species?＂

＂···I will definitely have to ask Maal when I meet him.＂

What a noble aesthetic you have.

What surprising answer will the Creator give?

“Okay, let’s go.”

I smiled and hurried my steps.
