Chapter 148
Episode 148
“It’s true.”
When Jeron heard Erdin’s words and turned his head to look, the beastman’s appearance gradually changed into a handsome man in his 30s.
“I don’t think you’ve ever heard that a beast turns into a human when it dies?”
“I’ve heard of the opposite case. therefore… … “If a beastman dies while in human form, it returns to its original form, a beastman.”
The conclusion was that neither of them knew much about the beast people. Since I had no chance of meeting the beast people in the first place, all I knew was what I heard in class at the academy.
“It’s Nero. “Do you know anything?”
[…] … .]
Nero stares with his eyes wide open. I couldn’t guess what it meant, whether it was because he knew about the beast people but didn’t want to talk about it or because he didn’t know.
Jeron neatly gave up listening to the guy’s answer and searched inside the arms of the man who was a cat beast. Then a communication bead appeared. This trend was not unfamiliar.
“Why is this here?”
“What is that?”
Erdin approaches and asks.
Jeron said.
“It’s the same as the communication bead the warlock had.”
“Then try connecting.”
“How can I if I don’t know how to operate it?”
“Give it to me.”
Erdin received the communication bead from Jeron and touched it around. Soon the communication bead started flashing and a message was sent. An alluring voice came from the other side(?) as I received a communication signal.
[Who are you?]
It was the voice that had been briefly spoken to through the warlock’s communication bead.
Jeron was amazed as he looked at Erdin.
“and! “How did you do it?”
“I know because I’ve used it a few times.”
“You are quite versatile.”
[Who are you?]
The alluring voice shouted in a high tone filled with anger when it was ignored.
Jeron chuckled and answered.
“If you’re so curious about who I am, I guess I’ll give you an answer!”
[…] … ?]
“To prevent the destruction of this world!”
[What nonsense are you talking about now?]
“To protect the peace of this world!”
[What a crazy bird!]
“Spreading love, truth, and darkness! The licorice of the mercenary world! Cutie… … !”
[Ahh!]
Communication was lost. Jeron said, regretfully tasting her again.
“It’s a shame. “I really wanted to try it.”
“You weren’t in the mood to joke around, were you?”
Erdin next to me looks at me with a puzzled expression. However, Jeron was a line from a famous cartoon villain that I had wanted to do at least once since I was in the martial arts group, so I just couldn’t resist it.
“I was so scared.”
“If you felt that bad, you should have at least gone to the bathroom, right?”
Jeron answered with a sad expression.
“I don’t know your language. “You don’t know how I feel.”
“Ugh. “It’s really varied.”
Erdin sighs as if he has given up. However, Jeron did not miss the way the corner of the guy’s mouth twitched. Whatever she said, she must have been funny at that moment.
“But haven’t you heard that voice somewhere before?”
“I guess I’m not the only one who thought that.”
“Where have I heard this before? Hmm.”
Erdin continues his speech and falls into deep thought.
It’s about tracing old memories.
In the meantime, Jeron continued searching the body of the man who was a prisoner.
I secretly waited to hear another call through the communication bead, but my hopes were betrayed. Even after 10 minutes, the communication bead did not sparkle. Just as I was poking out my lips in disappointment, Erdin said, ‘Ah!’ And let out an exclamation.
“Did you remember who it was?”
“yes. however… … “He’s a bit of an unexpected person.”
“who?”
“Senior Mayen… … “You remember, right?”
Jeron nodded.
He was a senior at the academy who left after giving him a star-shaped badge with a laurel engraved on it.
‘It was one of the pieces that has not yet been recovered.’
But I was curious.
‘Why did Senior Mayen’s name pop out?’
The voice that flowed from the communication bead was very alluring. To use a metaphor, it was like the voice of a nine-tailed fox.
On the other hand, Senior Mayen’s voice in Jeron’s memories was fresh and delicate.
Two voices cannot be matched just because they are similar.
Moreover, it was impossible for a person’s mood to change drastically in just a few years.
“No matter what, your voice is similar to Mayen-senpai… … ?”

Jeron tilted his head as he spoke.
Because it suddenly occurred to me that they were really similar.
Of course, if you think about the seniors at the academy, there is no match at all. However, after imagining what my senior’s voice would be like 5 years from now and changing the intonation of his voice to make it more seductive, I thought it was vaguely similar.
‘Oh, no way…’ … .’
Actually, I didn’t want to believe it.
I didn’t want to think that something like the title of a light novel like ‘The senior at the academy I respected turns out to be a villain trying to destroy the world?!’
‘for a moment. Then, was that badge given to me to recruit me into the organization?’
If it’s real, it’s creepy.

“Ahh!”
Meyran threw the communication orb to the floor. Pieces of glass splattered her, blood streaming down her arms and legs, but she didn’t care. She wasn’t exactly in her right mind to care.
“That bird “It must be that f*cking guy.”
This must be the guy who provoked Dekaron’s communication bead.
Crackle-!
My teeth ground apart on their own. Meylan soon let go of her anger and muttered.
“Yeah, that’s better.”
From that day on, she vowed that she would definitely find Jeron – whose identity she had not yet discovered – and tear him to death.
But I don’t know how you got here, but since you walked into the grave on your own feet, I will tear your limbs into pieces and throw them to the crows as food.
“no. “I’ll make you prey for monsters before you get here.”
By manipulating the magic circle, I found out its location and sent all the monsters in the ‘Silent Fog Forest’.
* * *
Erdin said with a chuckle after hearing Jeron’s words.
“Senior Mayen is a villain? What kind of nonsense is this? I would be more convinced if you said that Jeron was a villain. “Isn’t that right?”
“If I were a villain, you would already be dead.”
As Jeron spoke calmly, Erdin hiccuped. I reacted without realizing it to a prank that didn’t seem like a joke. The guy who soon calmed down said the thoughts that came to his mind.
“I thought it might be someone related to senior Mayen.”
“You mean family or relatives?”
“that’s right.”
“Isn’t that also dangerous in its own way? Having a huge villain among your family or relatives usually means death… … no. no. “I didn’t mean to say things like this carelessly.”
Jeron shook his head. However, he thought it was quite possible that he might at least be one of May En senior’s family or relatives.
More than anything else, it was because their voices were so similar.
“You’ll know for sure when we meet.”
Xeron moved deeper into the forest again, swinging his crude dagger in all directions to prevent the Wraith from approaching. If the voice of the communication bead is here, we will thoroughly prepare to meet you.
I had no intention of giving that time.
‘We need to find out the location as quickly as possible and cut off the head.’
Jeron’s thoughts ceased to be wind.
Not long after moving, I felt a huge amount of mana moving.
“Jeron? “Does this seem a little dangerous?”
The fog seen from the top of the mountain was divided into sections according to each color. They were moving at high speed.
Jeron nodded. This is a fact that can be seen even if Erdin does not say it. But it wasn’t the movement of the fog that was truly dangerous.
“Get ready to fight.”
“yes?”
“A monster is approaching. “That’s quite a lot.”
Grrr.
A very faint cry of a monster can be heard.
It was the first time I heard crying.
It may be one of the many types of monsters living in the Everlost Mountains. The moment Erdin tensed and grabbed his spear, he felt the presence of a monster approaching quickly.
Jeron moved his sword.
Suddenly!
There was a sound of fabric splitting.
The monster’s body, cut in half, fell from empty space.
“Cockatrice?”
Erdin muttered as he looked at the monster’s corpse.
The cockatrice was a monster that combined the head of a rooster, two legs, and the body of a sea snake. It was a dangerous creature that smashed the head of its prey with its iron-hard beak, and was known to be cursed with petrification if it touched its body directly, slowly turning it into stone.
“Here we come again.”
“uh? “Huh?”
Erdin looked around, but there was nothing. But the presence was clearly felt. She approached within 30m. I don’t know what happened, but the monster was approaching in a transparent state.
“I’m going a little fast, so follow along.”
“all right.”
Jeron grinned and ran forward.
I don’t think he knew it yet, but there were more than 30 monsters within 100 meters around him. As the fog moves, it pulls all the monsters within it towards here.
They are not all weak entities like kobolds or goblins. It was at least medium sized or larger. There were many different types. The cockatrice was adorable.
Kingbam, a giant snake with a body length of over 10 meters, suddenly appeared and unleashed its magical eyes. He raised his internal strength, shattered the curse of the evil eye, and cut his body into pieces with his sword.
Kiaaaaaa!
King Bomb is screaming and dying. Green blood was sprinkled in the forest. At the same time, Treant, disguised as a tree, stretched out tentacles resembling tree trunks.
Xeron shouted, moving his sword sharply to cut off the tentacle.
“Are you alive?”
The monster didn’t just appear in front. They were coming from all directions, front, back, left and right. Erdin responded as he launched his spear at the monster attacking from behind.
“yet! Not yet… … yo. this!”
The guy’s breathing hasn’t become impaired yet. I thought I could speed up a little more.
Jeron shouted, raising the corners of his mouth.
“Then go a little faster!”
“A poem like this… … !”
I felt like I heard some swear words, but I was probably mistaken.
Jeron became a woodcutter and sent Sword Gang flying to cut down Trent and cut another monster into four pieces and looked ahead.
I noticed dark red and dark blue spheres flying.
Nero on his shoulder opened his eyes and said.
[They are corrupted spirits.]
“Thanks for the good information!”
The dark red spheres got closer. It was a fire spirit salamander with ominous black flames wrapped around its body. The dark blue spheres were the water spirit Undine, whose body seemed to be made of waste water rather than clear water.
“Clean you guys! purely! Be confident! “I’ll make it for you!”
“Hey, you crazy human!”
Erdin, who laughed inadvertently, allowed the monster to attack and cursed at Jeron. However, Jeron, who was already so excited as if he were possessed, could not hear Erdin’s swearing and mercilessly cut down the fallen spirits.
The corrupted spirits let out strange screams and disappeared.
“My sword is yours!”
Jeron, half-mad, searched for monsters, even shouting character lines from certain games.
“What have you been saying since a while ago!”
[How did I end up signing a contract with such a crazy person? … .]
It was a moment when even Nero, who was looking sadly at the fallen spirits, lamented.
