I Became the Hero of the Warrior Party

6 – Episode 6: The Damn Wasteland – 4

It is said that a man only cries three times in his life.

The first was when I was born and the second was when my parents passed away.

And that last one.

It’s time for a huge monster caterpillar to devour itself.

***

“No f*ck! Disperse!”

I shouted at the girls running behind me.

“Single producer! Haven’t you heard the saying that if you unite you live and if you scatter you die!”

“f*ck you! Is there anything I can do all at once!”

Everything I said was true.

From behind, a gigantic caterpillar with a terrible mouth is chasing after it.

Rather than searching all together, it was better to spread out and increase the odds of survival.

If it is divided into thirds and the earth’s gaze is focused on only one person, that person will be pitiful, but in the end the remaining people can survive.

But they kept running towards me.

“Oh, you f*cking bug!”

They hurriedly handed over the children to the villagers and tried to escape, but in the process, it seemed that the aggro was attracted to us, not the villagers.

At that time, at the last moment, someone handed each of us three swords, telling us to take them with us to leave honorably, but we had no intention of going until the last moment.

I decided to find a way to survive somehow.

“…If there was a f*cking way, I already wrote it a long time ago!!!”

There was no way.

No, if you stop walking even for a moment, how can you think of a good way to be sucked into the mouth of a giant caterpillar?

The tokai overturned the entire village and was chasing us.

It was already full to the end of the hidden chin.

It was a time when I thought it might not be like that.

The three of us ran between the two houses, and the Tokai followed us at breakneck speed.

bang-!

In an instant, a sandstorm blew away with a tremendous sound.

I stopped walking for a moment and looked back to see that the Togoe was struggling with his head caught between the two houses.

The caterpillar screaming wildly was truly grotesque enough to make the hamstrings tingle.

I tried to run away, but now that I think about it, that wasn’t a very good idea. It was the guy who came after tracking down the piece of magic used when he was moved to the wilderness three days ago.

No matter how far we run away, it will definitely try to hunt us down again and devour us.

If possible, it would be safer to stop breathing here. It was dangerous, but the chance to attack was now.

I came up with the most powerful tactic that can be executed in the current situation.

In one legendary fantasy novel, there is a phrase like this.

three against one

It must have been a prestigious sentence with many meanings, but the meaning of the words that I now accepted was a little different.

“f*ck!! Cut that bastard and throw it away!

It meant that there was no business in front of Daguri.

After hesitating for a moment, I clenched my molars and rushed at him with the thought that I didn’t understand. Kyoko and Rin also drew their swords and ran towards the huge tomb, probably having the same thoughts as me.

I avoided the sharp mouth and crawled up to the top of my head.

Of course, the togoe didn’t stay still.

Shaking his head more violently than before, he was trying to shake us off.

Ting!

As I slammed the knife into the head with all my might, a sound resounded as if two metals were clashing.

Damn, what kind of skin is this hard!

I was poking around my body, barely balancing on my head.

If it’s a vital part of a creature that usually has such a hard outer shell…

I vigorously thrust the knife into the eye of the earthen lump.

Unlike the hard epidermis, the eyeballs were very soft.

The togoe started to scream like a deafening sound.

f*ck worms, finally found a weakness.

“Eye! All you have to do is gouge out the eyes!”

Green blood began to ooze out of the togoe’s eyes like a fountain. We endured the disgusting feeling and continued digging into the earth’s eyes.

To be honest, I felt sorry for the lizard because it looked cute, but it wasn’t this f*cking bug at all.

“f*ck you bugger, just do a quick search!”

“Hey, isn’t Chop also a bug? cognate wwwww”

“You bitch, shut up too!”

Even though I was stressed even in such an urgent situation, I did not give up and dug out the eyes of the earth.

…

It only stopped moving after about half a day of falling from his head, getting back on his back, and digging his eyes out repeatedly.

The blood gushing out of his eyes was already pouring down to his ankles on the ground.

“Barely… lived…”

“It was a stupid bug. Conceited only by believing in his size! So it will be like this. The blade of the Great China is sharper than any other sword.”

I couldn’t believe I was alive.

I was so tired that I couldn’t hear Rin’s screams next to me.

I was so grateful that this one body was intact.

I was so out of breath, I was clutching at my lungs that seemed to be shrinking when the village chief appeared.

“A warrior… a warrior!”

The village chief knelt down and prostrated himself, banging his head towards us who were covered in blood.

The villagers who followed were also bowing down on the ground toward us, just like the village chief.

What kind of situation is this?

We couldn’t keep our mouths shut in such a sudden situation.

We just accidentally killed all the earthen lumps that got stuck, but we became warriors.

No, even though the hero was right in the first place.

It was the first time that it was acknowledged by others.

Finally, he was a warrior.

***

The northwestern part of the continent, Eligos, the land of demons.

And the capital, Bael, which is said to be the sacred place of all demons.

There, high-ranking aristocrats and Demon King’s army officials gathered and were having serious discussions.

“Is that really!! Did Sandworm disappear?”

The hall was in an uproar.

“This is nonsense! Isn’t Sandworm a Class A Creator! Unless it’s a vital part, I can’t even scratch it with the power of stupid people. There must be some mistake!”

A demon screamed loudly, as if in disbelief.

That would be the case, Sandworm was a formidable monster with A-class power as the creator of demons.

Sandworm has already survived in the barren wilderness for 10 years.

Several times already, humans have attacked Sandworm, but all have failed.

There was no magic power enough to restrain the humans who were trying to clear the wilderness.

If the wasteland was cleared and the speed of procurement of goods for the human allied forces would increase, there would be nothing unfortunate for the Demon King’s army.

“Of course, now that the Demon King is in critical condition!”

It was even worse.

During the war of conquest several years ago, the condition of the demon king was further aggravated by the holy magic used by a mysterious human.

Since the demon king, who only looked at war, did not even have children, the current Eligos position as the demon king was vacant.

On the day this news reaches the ears of the human allies, then the crisis of the demons may begin.

“I have something to tell you all. This is an important matter, so please listen.”

In the noisy hall, a demon raised his hand and said.

The huge red wings sprouting from his back were proof that he was a high-ranking demon with great power.

“Sir Grevios! What I mean is…”

“Yes, I will skip the introduction and say it right away. What I am going to tell you about is the summoning ceremony for the next demon king.”

In an instant, the hall was enveloped in silence.

Although it is said to be critical, to mention the existence of the next demon king while the current demon king is still alive.

This was tantamount to treason against the current demon king.

“Sir Grevios… No matter how much the Demon King is still alive… To say that he is already the next Demon King… Aren’t you being too hasty…”

“No, there is no more time for demons. With the deterrence of the wilderness gone, soon humans will once again enter a golden age of trade. They will definitely develop further than now through cooperation.”

“Even if you’re not in too much of a hurry, incompetent humans…”

“Lord Fertell, the easygoing thought of belittling the enemy sometimes becomes a decisive defeat. When single, they are less than an ant, but when combined, they pose a great threat. All we need now is the overwhelming power to win this long war.”

Grevios maintained a tough stance.

Even within the demons, some demons who belonged to the conservative faction raised their voices of opposition, but they were soon blocked by Grevios’ clear logic.

He was called the best strategist in the demon tribe, so no one sitting in the hall could hastily raise an objection.

“I have already finished summoning the next Demon King, His Majesty.”

With cold-blooded eyes, Grevios continued.

When he said that he had already finished summoning the next demon king, the president was once again agitated.

“I can’t believe the summoning is over! This is not a matter for Lord Grevios to decide alone! It transcends the nation and is directly related to the survival of the demons, but Lord Grevios handled it arbitrarily! Are you sane now?”

A demon jumped out of its seat and stood up. He was the head of a prestigious aristocrat who produced the current demon king. He must have been more angry because he was anxious that his position would be endangered.

“Sir Zeppard, you seem to be misunderstanding something. This is the optimal decision conceived for the victory of the demons thoroughly. I think that in order to refute the words of others, accurate logic and evidence must be supported.”

“Is this arrogant bastard trying to teach me now! An illegitimate child who is not of pure blood!!”

Grevios, who moved in an instant toward Zefar, who was screaming in rage, grabbed Zefar’s neck tightly.

“Kuk-!”

Embarrassed by the sudden incident, Zefar was struggling in the air.

“Sir Zefar, you seem to be forgetting the greatest essence of the demons. Only the strong dominate the weak. It’s written on the first page of the scriptures, but you don’t seem to remember it.”

Grevios gradually loosened the grip on his hand.

Zefar, who had barely been freed, held on to his neck and was only clearing his throat.

“Strength is the most powerful weapon that cannot be compared with anything else. Only the strong dominate the weak and determine the flow of the world. 」

That was the introduction to the scriptures of Carsten, sacred to the demons. The scriptures were the foundation of the demons’ lives, and were absolutely indispensable to all demons.

“I will introduce her, no, the next Demon King, His Majesty, right here.”

When Grevios nodded and gave a signal, the guards opened the conference room door. The iron door opened, gradually revealing the silhouette of a woman.

“No, what is this!”

“Sir Grevios! What the hell happened to this!”

“I can’t believe it!”

Everyone in the hall doubted their eyes.

The woman who entered the conference hall was none other than a human woman.

Slightly darker skin tone.

Mysterious silver hair that seems to contain moonlight.

There was no doubt that she was human.

“This is the next demon king’s ancestor.”

The woman Grevios cautiously pointed at radiated a strange atmosphere.

When the silent woman opened her mouth, everyone in the hall froze.

“Tôi sẽ đập vỡ 3 ngôi sao bằng tay này…”

The woman muttered in a voice full of resentment.

Even though it was obviously the first language the demons had heard, the meaning began to be engraved in their heads.

“I will destroy the three stars with my own hands…”

The demons who saw the tremendous magic power radiating from her back noticed that their bodies were trembling.

Even with the mana that spewed out, she was overwhelming all the demons in this place.

“Do you feel this overwhelming power! The era of our demons starts now!”

Grevios shouted, and the demons in the venue could not respond.

In the past 100 years, or perhaps throughout the history of the demons, there may have never been a monster like this. That’s why, if this human becomes the demon king, he will be able to achieve the feat of conquering the continent with that transcendent power.

Everyone present thought.

Her silver hair, white like rice noodles, fluttered in the wind.
