Episode 54. Tongue, Teeth, and Jaw (2)

The deeper we went into the forest, the more intense the resistance became.

“Meh, protect Master Mesetis!”

“Protect Mesetis!!”

– Sizzle! Sizzle!

-Wheeeeee!!

From spiny bugs with poisonous fluids, soldiers with transplanted insect limbs, to flying insects the size of birds of prey. Numerous monsters and servants rushed towards him with only the sole intention of protecting the devil.

Actually, I dealt with Kadim without any difficulty.

He blocked the beaks of the thorn bugs and made them swallow their venom. He swept away two or three soldiers at a time by throwing his axe. He burned the annoying flying insects by throwing his dagger. Even the occasional wounds were easily healed by the blood sucking of mosquitoes.

There was no need to drink the blood of the brought low-level demon or draw on the power of the tattoo. No matter how rampant the idiots were, it was okay.

Blah blah blah – !

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But as I was dealing with the servants, a question suddenly occurred to me.

‘… … ‘Mesetis?’

Hydra is an exception, named by the party of warriors themselves, but a demon can only be named after growing three horns. And the servants of a named demon can sometimes receive special buffs when they call out and praise their master’s name, much like the knights of Elgar when they call out to their god.

However, no matter how I looked at it, these servants showed no such signs. They habitually called out the devil’s name, but their power was not affected at all.

I frowned and thought about it for a moment. Eventually, I came to the following conclusion.

‘He’s still just a high-level demon, but he must have thought he’d soon get three horns, so he named him first.’

A hollow laugh escaped me.

It was an extremely arrogant illusion. That devil would never have a real name, nor would he have three horns fueled by pain and despair.

Because today I will be suffocating.

“Meh, we have to protect Master Mesetis!!!”

“We must protect Mesetis… … “Kwaaaaaak!”

– Turn it off, turn it off!!

Crackle! Crackle!

As if they had read his mind, the soldiers and insects rushed forward with even more desperation. Kadim did not get excited either. He calmly cut the enemies apart one by one like a skilled technician slaughtering animals. At the same time, he used the growing resistance as a guide to approach the demon.

After going through the mossy dirt ground that was dyed dark red, I was finally able to find it.

Sitting on a large stump, under a diffused pink luminous body, is a woman with two horns, dazzlingly beautiful, but emitting a stink so bad that it makes you dizzy.

The devil opened his lips, crushing the writhing larva with his fingers.

“You’ve already come this far. Even so, I tried to find it first… … .”

The devil couldn’t finish his words properly. A sharp blast of metal cut off his words.

Parararararararack, tsk – tsk!

The throw was aimed at the devil’s head, but a soldier without both arms jumped up and hit it instead. Kadim calmly pulled back, retrieved the ax, and threw it again. This time, a giant moth threw itself and blocked the ax blade. The ax blade was repeatedly blocked by servants who called themselves meat shields.

Parareraerarack, squeak – creak! Parareraerarack, squeak – creak!

Nevertheless, Kadim did not stop. There would be a limit to the number of servants anyway. If they continued to block like this, all they had to do was throw axes at them until all their servants were dead.

The devil did not sit idly by. After watching him for a moment with a frown on his face, he gently waved his hand upwards.

“What the hell are you doing? I was talking to you. How rude.”

――――― Quaddududududuk!

Following the demon’s hand movements, a huge hand emerged from under the dirt. It was a hand made up of a cluster of severed human arms, a sort of recursive form. The hand gripped the throwing axe tightly and disappeared back into the ground.

Kadim tried to pull the manpower. However, the salmon never returned to its owner, as it was buried so deep that even the ‘return’ effect could not penetrate it. Mesetis relaxed her expression and smiled softly.

“I know you love that toy, but you also need to know how to behave properly in front of a lady.”

“… … .”

“don’t worry. I’ll give it back to you when the conversation is over. Would you like to come closer first? I have so many questions about you. What is your name, how did you get that much strength, and that much arms and legs… … .”

Wedge – liquid, slurp – !

This time, a dagger filled with hellfire interrupted the devil.

Because the servants were careless, this time it flew towards the stump throne without being blocked. Mesetis raises his eyes and quickly lowers his head.

Grumbling –

The flame sword did not cut the demon’s lifeline. Instead, it brushed past the tip of his head and burned some of his hair. The pure white hair distorted, and the demon’s eyes were filled with anger.

“You really… …don’t listen to me.”

“… … .”

“I don’t always dislike unruly males. Those who are too obedient are petty and don’t really have the taste to break them.”

“… … .”

“But this crossed the line. Even if you rebel, you should have maintained your standards. “I guess you don’t know who you’re standing in front of, so I think I should fix your bun first.”

Mesetis flicked his fingers.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch… … .

The luminous bodies floating in the air gave off a more dazzling light. The stench surrounding the forest became even stronger. Crustal legs emerged from the cut off sections of the soldiers’ limbs. All the servants lashed out with even more fierceness than before.

“Kaaaaaaaaaa!”

– Chirrurrur, chirrurrur!!

Kadim didn’t stay still either. He took out a bottle with the hand that wasn’t holding the knife. Contrary to the devil’s thoughts, he knew very well who he was standing before.

A disgusting bag of blood, narcissistic and delusional.

The berserker twisted the bridge of his nose fiercely and drank the devil’s blood.

– Chirrurrrurur!!

“Kuaaaahh …

“Whoa, hooray!”

Only the basic ‘strength boost’ buff appeared, but that was enough. I charged forward with the momentum of my running blood. Without giving them time to react, I dug into the crowd of servants.

Bub – ugh!

He hit the helmet with his accelerated fist. The heavy force broke the soldier’s neck. He kicked his body, snatched the shield he was holding, and threw it at his flying insects. Giant moths and bees were crushed in a heap and crashed down, scattering pieces of broken wings.

– Chirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Wedge – Liquid! Grumbling-

He took a step back, dodged the poison stream, and counterattacked with a flaming dagger. The hellfire spread, suffocating the insect’s pores and melting its internal organs. When he noticed soldiers approaching from behind, he turned around and swung his sword in a semicircle. The sharp curve cut three waists in an instant and swallowed the hot blood.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

“Kaaaaaaaaaa!”

――――――― Quad deud deuk!

The giant hand rose again, scattering the pile of corpses on the ground. This time, it aimed directly at Kadim.

Kadim held the hilt of his sword and lowered his posture. Just before his hand struck him, he exploded the power accumulated in his calf and leapt like a spring. Then, he released his heavily twisted arms and waist in the air and drew a destructive fan-shaped sword strike.

Kwajijijijik – !

Finely scattered flesh, blood, muscle and bone fragments.

The arms that had formed a shape were cut off in bunches, and the huge wrists were broken limply. Even with his thick fingers, he tried to crush the enemy, but it was no use. Kadim rolled his feet and crushed the back of the hand, and cut the fingers one by one with the tip of his sword. The huge hands soon lost their shape and became a mass of crushed flesh.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

“Kaaaaaaaa!!”

– Chirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The berserker’s sword endlessly thirsted for the blood of its enemies. The servants were swept away like fallen leaves in a cold wind without even a scratch. The vacant lot, where a dreamy air flowed under pink lighting, was overlaid with the eerie colors of gore.

Mesetis, who was watching, tapped the armrest and raised his thin eyebrows.

‘… … Hmm.’

She noticed it too. He was a strong warrior before, but he had just drunk something and had become even more ferocious and powerful. It was to the point where she doubted whether he was really human.

Of course, even if it was, it wasn’t enough to be his rival.

She was a high-level demon who would soon have three horns and a ‘name’. She had unparalleled powers compared to her subordinates. If she had come forward and used her full power, she would have already torn the author to pieces.

But I never had any intention of going out in person. If I fail to control my strength, my body will most likely be destroyed. It was rare to see such beautiful, strong, muscular limbs. I had to get it in perfect condition.

And what sweet pain and despair would flow from such a sturdy warrior when he realized that he had lost one of his sturdy limbs… … .

‘The moment when another horn will grow is not far away.’

Mesetis calmed his impatience. If you rush too much, you’ll end up making a mistake. It was only a matter of time before the author would give in. He might have held out with his mental strength up until now, but now that he’s been exposed to his scent so close and for so long, he’ll soon lose his senses.

‘Now I’m going to cut off my own limbs and beg for you to at least kiss the top of my feet… … .’

Sure enough, there were signs that it would not be long before.

A warrior who stares straight at himself instead of sweeping away his servants. The empty black eyes sparkled with intense emotion. Mesetis, looking into those eyes, sensed that the time had come and raised the corners of her mouth.

“Guys, everyone step back. “I think I need to spend some alone time with that kid.”

The servants purred in anxiety and jealousy. However, he could not defy the command and retreated out of the vacant lot.

An empty lot with only the two of them left. Silence filled with dim lights and a strange sense of tension.

Mesetis approached leisurely, his clothes fluttering. Kadim also did not swing his weapon recklessly. He silently watched the demon approach with his blood-covered face.

The distance narrowed to the point where we could feel each other’s breath. Time to drive a wedge so that we cannot escape from delusion. Mesetis loosened the silk she was wearing, revealing the graceful lines of her body. Kadim’s eyebrows slightly twitched and trembled.

A naked devil with a coy smile. He took a step closer and came close to Kadim. I tapped and patted his wide chest with thin fingers and then swept it down with a soft hand.

“What do you wish for?”

“… … .”

“Tell me what you want now. Anything is fine. I’ll let you do whatever you want. “If only you would give me your limbs.”

A voice as soft as cotton lingered in my ears. A temptation that can drive even the spirit of a noble old priest whose lust has faded into confusion.

However, Kadim had no reaction. His face was still dark and hard. The hand holding the hilt of his sword was shaking as if he was about to stab the devil in front of him at any moment.

Mesetis frowned slightly. What, are you still not properly deceived? Is it possible for human will to resist this much? How on earth can this happen… … .

This wasn’t right. If his mental power was this strong, he needed more direct contact. Mesetis lifted his crow’s feet. He put his hands together behind Khadim’s neck and whispered in an excited voice.

“I know that? “There is nothing in the world as soft as the tongue of a beautiful woman.”

Then, unexpectedly, he kissed me deeply.

The warm wind blew my light pink hair. The wandering luminous bodies suddenly flickered like lost fireflies. The grass insects under the roots of old trees and bushes made quiet cries. The woman’s spirit roughly pushed her tongue and lips as if he was craving water from her spring after a long thirst.

At first glance, it seems like a secret meeting between lovers.

But the ending is more romantic than a secret meeting.

It was more suitable for the blood stains and piles of corpses scattered around.

“Ugh! Ugh, ugh!”

Mesetis glared at Kadim and quickly pushed him away. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He fell backwards, spitting out blood, and screamed as if his throat was torn.

“Eh, ehhhh… … Gyaaaaah, gyaaaaaaahh …

Kadim chewed something in his mouth and then spat it out. A lump of blood with bite marks on its cross-section fell to the floor with a thud.

It was the devil’s tongue.

“And there is nothing in the world as strong as the teeth of the foul-tempered Atallain.”

Kadim wiped his mouth and raised his sword again.

“Not only is the body odor bad, but the taste of blood is also bad. “I would rather drink alcohol made with dog milk.”

“Aaaaaaaaaah! Eek, eh… … .”

“Anyway, that’s enough of your nonsense, devil. It’s time to shut that stinking mouth and say goodbye to your balls.”

Mesetis realized too late. The emotions that had been flashing in Khadim’s eyes earlier were not obsession or longing.

Aversion. Pure, blind, intense hatred for the devil.

The eyes lost their shine. Her shoulders were shaking. The incomprehensible fear and shock towards the warrior in front of him gradually eroded the inner being of the devil who had been holding and shaking the human heart for his entire life.
