Episode 55. Tongue, Teeth, and Jaw (3)

As mentioned before, Kadim knew very well how to defeat the charmed demon.

‘You just have to kill him without being possessed by the devil.’

Kadim did not think that his mental powers were weak. However, just like madness, the seduction of the demon of the enchantment was almost impossible for a human.

So he prepared before entering the forest.

He drank all of the remaining demon blood.

The effectiveness of this blood has been proven before when dealing with wizards. As expected, the ‘mental attack immunity’ buff blocked most of the effects of the bewitchment.

However, since this was a mid-level devil’s blood and the opponent was a high-level devil, a complete block was impossible. As the exposure time became longer, even Kadim’s mind became blurred and shaken.

But he was not completely taken in. He felt the devil’s body odor as a terrible stench. The moment the devil’s tongue touched his lips, even the momentary fascination disappeared, and only anger and disgust filled him.

“Eh, eh… … .”

Mesetis, whose tongue had been cut out, sat down and cried like a simple woman. Again, her tears flowed down, sparkling like dew. When it comes to her men, her heart weakens and she has no choice but to let down her guard.

Kadim knew full well that it was nothing more than a thin disguise.

Wedge – liquid, brim!

As he swung his mosquito, aiming for the neck, Mesetis easily blocked it with one hand. His thin, white fingers were now covered in a pitch-black crust. The shock in the demon’s eyes subsided and a terrible resentment rose up.

– … … I gave you a chance

A turbid voice that no longer sounds clear.

I quickly tried to pull out the knife, but my grip was too strong. It was only after twisting his body and the hilt of his sword and kicking the demon’s chin with all his might that he was able to get it out. Mesetis slowly turned his bent head and stood up.

– If you would just give me those limbs, I would gladly give you special favors.

Suddenly, the crust that only covered my hands spread all over my body. In the blink of an eye, my pure white naked body was completely covered with a hard shell. Afterwards, as I bent over and crouched, lumpy protrusions appeared on my shoulders.

Quad deud deud deuk – !

The protrusions twitched and pierced the back of the body, revealing the shape of broad wings, spraying blood and mucus.

Instead of feathers, wings are made of layers of human limbs.

– It’s done now. There’s no need for those few pieces of flesh. In the depths of hell, you will bitterly regret rejecting My favor.

A deep echo of hatred. Mesetis spread his wings and prepared to attack.

Kadim looked around. Not only was the devil alive, but I could also feel signs of him rushing towards me in sympathy with the owner’s anger. It’s probably impossible to deal with those high-level demons and servants like this.

So I concentrated my mind.

The tattoo on his chest glowing bright red and the overlapping buffs awakened his nerves. My vision became red and a bright red glow appeared in my black eyes. A much more poisonous blood than when drinking the blood of a lesser demon spread through the bones and muscles.

The ‘Hydra Tattoo’, which has a strong effect.

However, as I heard before, it wouldn’t last long. So the important thing is to resolve it quickly.

– die!

Kadim quickly leapt up, gripping the hilt of his sword, towards the winged demon.

Blah blah blah blah – !

A flash that penetrates and splits the wing in an instant.

In the face of overwhelming power, the thickly layered limbs were no different from sheets of paper. Bone fragments and sticky, hardened blood spurted out between the torn muscles.

The remaining limbs wriggled to fill the torn gap. However, that effort was in vain as the sword swung again like a gale. Kadim crossed over the split wings and easily reached the demon.

– What is this… …!

Kwajik- !

The blade pierced the carapace of my wrist. Mesetis reflexively swung his other hand and counterattacked. His fingernails sharply cut the bronze skin, but the cuts were meaningless. Kadim sneered and split the demon’s forearm with a bell.

– Kaaaaaaaaaah!!

Carapace fragments bounced around, and the split muscles along the grain hung like rags. On the other hand, Kadim’s wounds healed quickly, as if he had been digging through mud. The devil’s eyes once again wavered in shock.

– What is it, you! Why are you hurt… … .

There was no reason to answer every detail. He tried to tear off his other arm, but the devil wouldn’t let go. The devil hastily flapped his wings and retreated, waving his hands. Kadim’s severed forearms rose from beneath his feet.

Kkwak, kkwak, kwaddeuk –

The grip that held his ankles and calves as firmly as a water ghost. However, it was insufficient to stop the warrior’s footsteps. Kadim pulled it out without difficulty and rolled his foot with all his might. The ground shook like an earthquake and the floor sank.

――――― BAM-!

Blood gushed out like lava through the cracks. The limbs beneath the soil were all compressed into lumps of flesh. Kadim kicked the ground again and closed the distance. Mesetis quickly prepared a defensive stance in shock.

“Whoaaahh …

– Ugh! Black!

Chae – Ang! Kwa-jik!

However, Mesetis’ physical abilities were certainly on a level befitting a high-level demon. After losing one arm, he deflected the blade and pushed his wings into the sword path, skillfully blocking all attacks.

But that was all. The berserker’s ferocious sword did not allow a counterattack. Mesetis was only focused on blocking the attack. When his carapace was cracked and his wings were torn apart, and he was reaching his limit, reinforcements finally arrived.

“Kaaaaaaaaaaah, Master Mesetis!!!”

“Kuaaak, Mesetis-sama, kuaaak, I must protect you!!!”

– Chiiik, chiiik!!

Grumble, growl – !

Ironically, the servants were rushing at him with hellfire attached to their bodies.

An extreme measure to protect his master. In fact, it was a reasonable judgment, since he could not compare to Khadim in terms of force.

But unfortunately it had no effect. ‘Hydra’s Tattoo’ also gave a ‘regeneration’ buff powerful enough to heal even burns.

Whoosh whoosh – !

“Kaaaaaaaa!!”

Kadim slaughtered his subordinates, turning them into hellfire without a care. Sparks flying, bodies torn to pieces, blood boiling. The will to protect his master by burning his own body was nothing but a handful of ash and smoke.

However, the problem was that the number of servants was quite large and the road was blocked.

Kadim gritted his teeth. The blood was slowly fading away. It wasn’t the time to be dealing with idiots like this. I have to jump over the burning barrier as quickly as possible and defeat the devil… … .

Suddenly, things took a strange turn.

– … … Stop, that’s it. Everyone get out of his way.

Soldiers and monsters stand tall and stop, then clear the way forward.

Mesetis had taken off her shell and taken the form of a woman. She came forward lightly and knelt down in front of Khadim without warning.

– I will stop my useless resistance. Even if I fight any longer, I will not be able to overcome your sharp blade and strong body.

“… … .”

– But… … Please have mercy and allow this lowly being to kiss your feet? Oh, I will do whatever you ask. Even if it costs me my life… … .

It was an absurdly sudden change of position. Kadim frowned and looked down at the demon. There were no longer any resentful gazes there. Only eyes that sparkled with hot desire and lust.

I reflexively clicked my tongue. Oh shit, that’s how it happened. It was understandable how things happened.

‘I swallowed his blood when I cut off his tongue earlier. And when I cut off his arm, a mosquito also sucked up some of his blood.’

The blood of the charmed demon gives a strong ‘charm’ buff. It seems that I have unknowingly charmed a demon by drinking its blood. I couldn’t help but feel ironic when I saw the demon’s dwarf who was charmed by the effects of my blood.

It wasn’t a very pretty sight, but it was a good opportunity to take his life. Kadim raised his sword and spoke sternly.

“Did you say you wanted to kiss the top of my foot?”

– Ah, yes… … You, please give me just one chance… … .

“refuse. “It’s better to give your paws to a rat than to give your feet to a dirty devil.”

– … … !!

The moment when the devil’s eyes sink into extreme despair, as if abandoned by the whole world.

Jeez – ugh!!!

A sharp blade cut off the demon’s neck.

The blood split into several streams and gushed out like a fountain. My head rolled around on the dirt floor and landed at the roots of the old tree. Mesetis pursed his lips pitifully as if he had nothing left to say. However, having lost his vocal cords and tongue, not even a sound of wind coming out of his mouth.

The demon who had been the envy of all things throughout his life and had longed for promotion, passed away without ever gaining a name or horns, completely humiliated by the very thing he had admired.

*

Deep in the dirt, Kadim felt a faint gravitational pull.

‘… … Come back, salmon.’

puck!

Hung, Hung, Hung, Tak – !

The throwing ax that had been buried in the ground popped out. Kadim shook off a lot of dust from the ax head and handle. It seemed necessary to be careful to prevent something like this from happening again.

Before we knew it, dawn had dawned brightly in the forest. The foggy magic had cleared, and the forest was gradually regaining its original appearance. My muscles were sore that I wanted to go back and rest, but there was still work to do before that. Sorting out monsters that have turned into ‘monsters’.

The influence of demon energy is stronger on monsters than on humans. Although the aftereffects of delusion would remain on humans, it was nothing compared to the monsters that turned into monsters. Kadim left the demon’s corpse for a moment and started clearing the area.

Then, I discovered an unexpected sight.

– Squeak, crackle!

“Ugh… … .”

A thorn bug that threatens by dripping venom, and a person crouching in front of it carrying someone.

It was spherical. She was a woman I met in the village. It seemed that she had returned to the forest to find her husband.

Parararararararaak, fur – oops!

– Squeak!

Kadim killed the thorn bug and approached the woman. The woman became thoughtful when she saw Khadim covered in blood. When she looked closer, she saw that the man she had lifted up was her man, who had lost one of her arms and fainted.

“… … Is he your ‘real’ husband?”

“Ah, ahhh, da, you… … .”

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of killing your husband now. “The devil has stopped breathing, so he won’t be hostile even if he comes to his senses.”

Despite saying that, the woman’s anxiety showed no signs of subsiding. Kadim put her ax away and nudged her chin.

“Follow me. There are still many dangerous monsters left in the forest. “After I finish my business, I will take you to the village.”

The woman did not choose the path of false comfort or surrender. In order to reclaim her only family, she chose to step into the dangerous forest once again, overcoming fear and terror. Her will to fight against the fate given to her until the end was enough to earn the respect of a warrior.

“… … .”

The woman pursed her lips and stared into his piercing black eyes. Her anxiety was fading away like a ember. Perhaps sensing the savage’s sincerity, she slowly nodded and got up.

Kadim took the lead again, raising his axe. She thought that after getting rid of all the demons, she could receive the demon blood and return to the village with them.

However, things in the world do not always go as planned.

Parararararack, tsk – tsk!

– Sigh!

When almost all of the monsters were defeated, an unexpected variable was detected.

A loud noise was heard from afar. Kadim furrowed his brows. He retrieved his axe and gave orders to the woman.

“Hide in the bushes over here and wait. Don’t come out until I call you.”

He turned his back on the woman and ran quickly toward the clearing where the demon’s body was left. For some reason, there were a lot of people gathered around him. It doesn’t seem like it’s a monster, but it does sound like a human being, and it feels somewhat foreign to an ordinary human being… … .

Arriving at the vacant lot, Kadim realized the reason.

A group of robed men inspecting the scene in unison and carelessly manipulating the demon’s corpse.

“Put down the chest! As for the rest, hurry up and preserve the body! No, you have to cool the cut side of the neck first! “Isn’t blood continuing to be lost?”

“Yes, I understand! Mr. Gallardo!”

“[Eldra, Ksanik, Klesia… … .]”

They were the wizards of the Magic Tower.

They were as busy as hunters carrying their harvest after a hunt. Kadim chanted in a voice filled with cold anger.

“What are you doing, you guys?”

The wizards’ gaze immediately turned towards the blood-covered barbarian.
