chapter 251
Episode 251
“… It’s good not to think about Gus. Because God has the power to be terrifying.”
The girl shook her head as if she thought my thought of having a fight with him was too young.
“Everyone in the village gathered their money and asked the masters for help, but they were all eaten.”
If that statement is true, it is also not a formidable monster.
Since it was an era infested with monsters, it was clear that if he called himself a sage, he would have his own skills.
“What do you think?”
[Certainly, this world is full of nature. It is an environment where powerful youkai are easy to be born.]
In other words, Verdi also concluded that the possibility that he was a high-level yokai was quite high.
[Well, if that doesn’t work, isn’t it okay to run away then?]
Surely that was the correct answer, so I asked the girl the question again without hesitation.
“It doesn’t matter, let me know.”
The girl sighed and began to slowly open her mouth.
“God is big. In terms of length alone, it is about seven times that of her older brother. And the skin is very hard.”
With those words alone, I was able to figure out at a glance what the shape of the gnome was.
“Are you a snake monster?”
“People call him the God of White Rock. It crawls on the floor, but can jump high and is very fast. All I know is this… … .”
Despite being in danger of being eaten soon, the girl was calm and her explanations were quite coherent.
“Because I, too, have survived by sacrificing the villagers… … No complaints.”
However, even then, as if he could not hide the fear of death, he could see his body trembling slightly.
‘Looking at the description, it looks similar to Myodusa (猫頭蛇) or Chilgaksa (七角蛇).’
At that moment, from afar, a sign of something began to be felt.
A calm but sharp and intense yogi. The snake god of the rocky mountain the girl was talking about was clear.
“Stay back. Because he’s coming.”
“… I felt the sacrifice on the altar. If I get out of here, I might get angry and head straight to town.” “Then hide quickly even after he arrives.”
Even at my words, the girl shook her head softly.
“no. If my brother dies, I will hold everyone responsible for trying to run away.”
“… … .”
I replied back, but the girl didn’t seem to even think that I was going to win.
Well, from the perspective of her, who has always been oppressed by the guy, it might be natural.
I couldn’t do it this way. You have no choice but to fight while keeping your back on the girl and protecting it as much as possible.
[It seems to have come.]
As soon as Verdi finished speaking, something bizarre appeared from the edge of a rocky mountain.
– Shh!
From the description alone, I thought it might have a snake-like shape, but it was more bizarre than that.
It looks like a mixture of earthworm and eel, and a centipede mixed with it.
In addition, the size seems to be a little bigger than the Myodusa I’ve seen before.
’emotion.’
Tiling!
[hands, feet, feet and ears]
▶ Level 67
Roughly looking at it, its strength is comparable to that of Myodous. Although he looked so terribly tense that he was nervous, he did not possess such overwhelming power.
‘Of course, even this is a disaster, but… … .’
I felt the tension release, and instead the void was filled with conviction.
I am not who I am then, so it is natural.
“That’s right, black tone, painter, old man.”
When Gongsam was summoned, all five shikigami faced him and began to radiate intense energy.
And I also used Cheongjuhwa’s special amulet to infuse my spirits and memorized the mantra of low-pitched magic.
– Shh!
“Don’t look. It will be over soon.”
I smiled broadly, and he ran towards me.
After about 30 minutes, it was decided.
Koo!
Looking at the messed up hands, feet, feet, and ears that had fallen to the ground, I only moved my stiff shoulders back and forth.
***
“… My brother was truly a great master. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
There was a time when he gave up everything he said he could not believe, but now he has a completely dazzling face and is guiding me to the village.
After all, she and the townspeople had been oppressing the yokai for a long time at once, so to her, she might be considered a messenger from the sky.
“Even the masters who were said to be me were terrified or busy running away in front of God… … .”
yes it is Where are these monsters common?
Although it was not difficult to win, it was literally a fight that was worth winning, and it did not mean that the opponent was happy.
If he had been a little stronger, it would have been difficult for me to fight head-on too.
“Are there any other monsters nearby that pose a threat?”
“yes. It seemed that they were afraid of God, that they did not even think about taking a seat in this area.”
However, if interpreted in a different sense, it means that there are people who were looking for opportunities anyway.
After all, in this era, it was taken for granted that youkai roamed so much that it could not be compared with the modern world.
“It’s all here. That’s our town.”
As expected, it was not a particularly glamorous or opulent place.
In modern terms, how much more developed from the indigenous communities of the Amazon?
Still, it seemed clear that what was there was a place that had been passed down for a long time in its own way.
“No, Soyul, how are you… … .”
It was only then that I realized that I had never heard her name before.
The girl’s name is Soyul.
There was no surname, and even the meaning was too simple.
Such Soyul informed the villagers that the snake god had fallen, and at the same time began to comment on my activities.
When one story was over, the eyes of the villagers looking at me had completely changed to those looking at the object of awe.
“Oh, you are such a famous master… … To defeat the god of the rocky mountain, it was truly a blessing!”
Taking the lead and dissuading the old man from bowing down, I asked the villagers the question I wanted to ask.
“Which area is this? And do you have a map of the area?”
To that, the villagers quarreled in response, brought several maps from somewhere and showed them to me.
“There is no specific name for this town, but throughout the area, people call it Baekseoksan. If you move two days to the north, you will find a larger village, and if you move four days to the west from there, you will find a city called Cheongna.”
After listening to the villagers’ further explanations, I was able to guess roughly where I was now.
‘First, I must head to Cheongna (淸欏).’
As it is the city visited by Haon Yoo in the original story, if you go there, it will be even easier to track the actions of your colleagues.
As soon as I said hello to the people and left the village, Soyul, who had somehow packed my belongings, approached me and spoke to me.
“… Just let me follow you for a little while.”
“What are you talking about? your parents?”
“I don’t really have parents. And now I want to settle down in the city. I’ll take care of the chores, so can’t I just accompany you to Cheongna?”
As usual, Soyul asked me for a favor with a somewhat fervent look.
After a brief moment of careful thought, I nodded my head.
“great. Do you know the way?”
“yes. I went there with the villagers to buy the things I needed.”
Anyway, I needed at least one person to act as a guide.
I’m not familiar with the maps of this era, so it was not easy to interpret them properly on my own.
So, I left with Soyul and headed to the village in the north first.
It’s only two days away, but anyway, if you take the sorcerer, you’ll get there in half a day, so I planned to spend a day there and head to Cheongna again.
In the meantime, Soyul pokes Soyul’s back in admiration at what is so strange, and Soyul grumbles and twists her body.
How many hours had passed, when the arrival of the northern village was not far away, the presence of many people was felt from the northwest direction.
At first I thought something was wrong, but when I looked at the situation, it seemed that two groups were fighting.
“… They’re probably magicians. I heard that they often aim for the top that goes through the village to Cheongna.”
I heard it and it was right. As we approached a little closer, we could clearly see that a series of hordes were raiding the wagons and people.
“Will you help?”
“I guess so.”
I don’t really want to make a fuss, but if they are on the top heading to Cheongna (淸欏), they will be able to get help in many ways.
It wasn’t too difficult, so it was a loss to ignore it.
Tiling!
As soon as I used the emotion function, their information was organized and started to appear in my eyes.
‘Twenty seven, thirty three… … .’
After checking it for a bit, I sighed, erasing all the information that came to mind.
It was because they had only dealt with very powerful enemies, and their existence felt so trivial and trivial.
“Georgeek (巨力鬼), excellent demon (牛手鬼). come out.”
There was no way to go to the other food gods.
I summoned a few crafting type shikigami, and sent them away as they were, demanding the suppression of the demons.
As a few of them were slaughtered in an instant, the rest of the demons realized that things were going to go wrong, and they ran away and disappeared from sight.
Then the representative of the group, who had managed to manage the situation, approached me and thanked me.
“Thank you so much… … , at least the entire party would have been screaming to death.”
“Are you on the top heading to Cheongna?”
“Yes, yes. Originally, I had planned to stay for a day in the village called Hapgwan in front of me, but when I ran into them right in front of me… … .”
As Soyul said, they were on the way to Cheongna, and when I asked to accompany them, they were rather remorseful and accepted it.
“Are you the master of Daehwarim?”
“It’s not like that. It’s a far cry from where I came from.”
“Hey, you were really lucky.”
Daehwarim (大花林) is definitely mentioned in the original. It didn’t seem like it was of much importance, but it was probably one of the groups made up of Taoists.
‘Have you ever earned an income in the name of protecting a city or village?’
To be sure, it wasn’t unusual for me to consider myself a member of them.
In any case, I was lucky to have met people who were familiar with going uphill.
All of them were skillful and seasoned, and in the end, the next day, I was able to arrive at the city I had been aiming for, Cheongna (淸欏), easier and faster than expected.
