Episode 142
‘Seven Emblem’ and ‘Daylight’, who climbed the Everlost Mountains, were also being attacked by monsters in the fog. What is different from ‘Lion Hearts’ is that the scope of the fog is several times wider.
“Eliminate the troll shaman!”
“The scout team investigated the surroundings… … !”
“Aaaahhh-!”
Quack! Quack!
The horrible sound of whole flesh and bones being chewed rang out.
The mercenaries were terrified, but moved according to the instructions of the two mercenary groups.
“The habits of a group of kobolds… … “Kwaak!”
In the fog, a group of kobolds began hunting.
It is said that the monsters in the Everlost Mountains are 1.2 times stronger than ordinary individuals, but they are only kobolds. However, in the fog, they caught a scent and began to hunt down and pressure the mercenaries who had fallen alone.
“Kkirik!”
A barrage of stings from cunning goblins followed. One or two mercenaries fell victim to the paralyzing poison, and their final moments were reduced to being a meal for monsters.
“We found the troll shaman!”
“Detonate the flare!”
Beep-!
When the scout team set off a signal, a mercenary leader led his members in an attempt to kill the troll shaman. However, because of the fog, the distance showed no signs of narrowing.
There were too many troll shamans.
ridge-! ridge-! ridge-!
The sound of the drums became louder and more majestic, and the fog thickened until it became impossible to see an inch ahead.
Trolls ran wild inside.
Trolls were monsters, but they were also excellent hunters. Among hunters, if you were half as good as a troll, you would be considered an excellent hunter.
The mercenaries were being hunted by the trolls at high speed, and they became panicked and ran away in all directions. But before they could escape, they all turned into cold corpses. Kobolds and goblins, who would normally have snorted, were waiting for them like reapers.
“Don’t go alone! “Everyone dies!”
A mercenary who still maintained his senses shouted, but no one listened. Fear was taking over my brain. Those words didn’t reach my ears. All I could do was run and run in a desperate attempt to survive.
“Unite! “We must unite to survive!”
“Each officer tells the leader to bring the members to one place… … !”
Mercenary groups that had a system in place were in a better situation. However, I realized that if the fear grew out of control, it would not be controlled. We need to get out of the fog quickly while it is still not too late.
“I will take the lead and open the way.”
“All right, Captain!”
The mercenary leader of ‘Seven Emblem’ led the executives forward. The executives showed a slight hesitation, but when the mercenary leader looked at them with a firm expression, they seemed to have made up their minds and formed a group around the mercenary members and began to go back the way they had come.
‘Daylight’ also joined forces with ‘Seven Emblem’. He subdued the mercenaries who were running away in a panic and made them join the group. As the mercenaries slowly came together into one mass, the situation changed little by little. Goblins and kobolds who were hunting mercenaries alone could not attack them easily, and trolls were also likely to get hit while trying to hunt them.
The warlock who was watching them from afar made a gesture to the troll wearing a black robe, and the troll nodded slightly and went to the middle of the hill to tell the troll shamans who were beating the drums to stop the spell.
ridge-!
After the last drum beat, the fog began to clear little by little. The mercenaries cheered, thinking that it was because the mercenaries killed all the troll shamans. But a huge shadow appeared in front of them.
“Oh, ogre… … !”
“There’s also a Big Head Ogre… … !”
Kwasik-!
The ogre’s fist hit the mercenary. It was crushed like a can that was stepped on by his foot. His blood flowed out and formed a puddle. One of his arms, which had managed to maintain its shape, began to flutter with its fingertips and went limp.
The ogre slowly approached the mercenaries.
Slap-!
As the guy took a step, blood splattered out of the puddle. The mercenaries trembled like chicks and shed tears and saliva.
“Crumbling?”
When the mercenaries only trembled and did not run away, the ogre tilted his head in confusion. This served as a signal and the mercenaries started screaming and running away in all directions.
“Oh, this stupid… … !”
“Captain!”
The mercenary leader of ‘Seven Emblems’ tried to control the mercenaries, but the ogre was running towards him, shaking the ground and swinging his club at him.
“I’m dealing with this guy! Everyone scatter!”
The mercenary members, including executives, dispersed all at once. The mercenary leader of ‘Seven Emblems’ dodged the ogre’s club attack and cut off his skin with the Auror Sword.
“Kwaaaaaa-!”
The ogre squinted around his eyes and burst into tears.
“Wow!”
“Oh, ogre bloom!”
The executives and mercenary members who were spreading out felt their bodies becoming stiff. At that moment, monsters including trolls and kobolds resumed their attack.
I fought back with my stiff body, but it was not enough.
“Tristan! “I will help too!”
The mercenary leader of ‘Daylight’ shouted as he led his members. Tristan, the mercenary leader of ‘Seven Emblems’, nodded his head, saying thank you without hesitation.
“Ewain! “I’ll take the right side, so you take the left!”
Ewain, the mercenary leader of ‘Daylight’, ran to the left.

Meanwhile, Erdin moved with the knights. Their mission was to eliminate the troll shaman. The knights looked at Erdin with suspicion upon hearing that he was a top-level Auror expert, but they reluctantly seemed to agree with Duke Furion’s assertion.
“Chaha-ha-!”
I broke through the monster barrier and climbed the mountain range at high speed.
The closer we got to the Troll Shaman, the more monsters there became.
An hour later, we arrived at the location of those identified by the wizard’s detection magic, but the troll shaman was not there. Only traces of his use of the fog spell remained. When I checked the foggy area, I saw mercenaries fighting monsters.
Far below, a punitive force could be seen waiting for the fog to clear.
“Now how…” … ?”

The moment Erdin was about to ask the knights, he felt alive. He swung his spear. He struck out something gray. The pole bent slightly and his hand throbbed. When he checked what he had struck, he discovered that it was a spear made of bone.
‘troll!’
Trolls are roaring everywhere! He appeared screaming. It wasn’t just one or two. There were more than 10 that were visible. It was a trap. The knights did not panic and quickly formed their formation. Soon a melee began.
“ha. “I’m going to get scolded again.”
Erdin sighed deeply.

Jeron arrived at the stronghold of the bandits, which he sensed by spreading energy. Rumors spread that he had gone into hiding deep in the mountains, but it was closer than expected.
‘I have no idea how big the Everlost Mountains are.’
It is a mountain range that crosses the continent. Even by Geron’s standards, it was difficult to dare measure it. Another strange thing is that there are not many types of monsters encountered on the way here.
‘Are they about goblins, kobolds, gnolls, giant rats, lizard men, trolls, and ogres?’
You could say there were enough of them, but not in the Everlost Mountains. It is also known to be infested with rare monsters such as basilisks, minotaurs, and cockatrices. But so far no trace has been found.
Jeron thought that fact was very strange.
“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.”
“… … .”
A sharp arrowhead is aimed this way.
The moment Geron moves, he plans to shoot.
“Where is the boss?”
“… … .”
“Are you all deaf to this? “Where is your boss?”
As Jeron shouted with all his might, the fence of his home base shook.
The moment the aimed arrowhead shook, Jeron kicked the ground and ran.
“omg!”
The thieves all swallowed their screams.
“Shoot! “What are you doing if you’re not shooting?!”
One person who maintained his composure shouted urgently and hurriedly turned the arrowhead, but the target had already disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.
“Where is your boss?”
“… … !”
Jeron drew his hand horizontally as the thief gasped like a goldfish after being asked a question. Rogue’s head was separated from his neck and fell to the ground.
The thieves realized the location of their target: Geron and fired arrows, but it had no effect.
Fear appeared in the thieves’ eyes as the arrow fell as if it was blocked by an invisible wall near Xeron’s body as he walked toward the thieves.
“Where is the boss?”
Jeron asks again. However, the thieves were so frightened that they could not respond properly and their heads and necks were separated. The last one stuttered.
“Two, the boss… … !”
Before he could finish speaking, the thief’s body was split in half.
Blood was sprayed out.
In the meantime, the demonic beast licked the thief’s blood from its lips, its eyes sparkling and its long tongue lashing out like a snake.
“What is this again?”
Jeron sighed. On the outside, it was just a monster. But I felt like something was subtly different.
It was similar to the 妖魔人, a demon who gained power by selling his soul to a monster.
A being that is neither a monster nor a human, but something in between.
I felt like the demon beast in front of me was like that.
“Who the hell are you?”
“… … “This is a mistake.”
Jeron twisted his lips as the demon beast spoke in the common language of the continent.
At that moment, the demon beast swung its long arm and attacked.
Sharp nails were pulled out, aiming for the carotid artery in the neck.
visor-!
I thought as I pulled out my sword, swatted it away, and burrowed into the arms of the demon beast.
‘My nails are harder than I thought.’
The first blow was to cut off his fingernails. It was a sword draped with swords. But it bounced off without even a scratch. I could guess how strong the nails were.
‘Let’s get it over with right away.’
The sword energy condensed at the tip of the sword and turned into sword steel. It pierced straight through the demonic beast’s body. The demon beast was unable to react to Jeron’s quick movements and was hit.
A hole the size of a bowling ball appeared in my abdomen.
The demon beast has fallen.
The guy looked embarrassed because he didn’t understand what was going on.
“nice… … “Reuk?”
“Now the warlock… … .”
While passing by the demon beast, Jeron stopped when he felt the residue of demon energy.
Nero on my shoulder slowly opened his eyes.
The demon beast stood up unsteadily.
The bowling ball-sized hole was repaired quickly.
“I don’t understand. “Kruk.”
The demon beast tilted his head and muttered. The speed just now couldn’t be detected. She didn’t feel anything at all. Even Duke Furion wasn’t like this.
“You are stronger than Duke Furion.”
“It looks like a Lizard Man, but its regenerative power is enough to hit a Troll Named in the face a few times.”
“Kruk!”
Jeron noticed that the demon beast got angry when it was compared to a monster. But she didn’t move forward as quickly as before. It was the sword that pierced the guy’s abdomen.
The sword blade is similar in nature to what is called an auror blade in this world. It not only has tremendous cutting power, but also destroys the body’s cells themselves.
That’s why even named Trolls can’t regenerate properly when hit by a sword or auror blade. But he filled the hole in his abdomen without any hesitation.
Soon, Jeron muttered helplessly.
“under. “Why am I worrying about this?”
