Monster.
Monsters born from the dark magic of the Demon Tribe.
Monsters such as orcs and trolls that have settled all over the continent are also classified as demons in the larger category.
However, as generations passed, the black magic simply faded.
But the Minotaur in front of me was by no means a subspecies of orc.
Minotaurs are monsters that the Demons themselves had to create. And they were like living biological weapons that served as shock troops in the legions led by the Demons.
“nice to meet you.”
Black magic.
The energy of those damn demons that took away my entire previous life.
When I face that energy, anger rises in my head.
Woooooooooo-!
Guillotine, sensing Charon’s intense hostility, begins to resonate without saying a word.
A dark blue magical energy formed at the tip of the guillotine’s sword.
Kwauuuuuuu-!
The Minotaur let out a loud roar and swung its huge hammer at Charon.
The hammer fell at a speed disproportionate to its size.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
It struck the ground straight away, creating a deep crater.
But the guy’s hammer only turned the other monsters into a slurry.
Phew.
Charon, who had landed on the Minotaur’s right arm, thrust his sword into the arm with all his might.
Although his muscles were so strong that they could even repel magic, they were like cake in front of the guillotine.
“First, the front legs.”
Woof woof woof.
Quaddududuk!
Charon’s magical power that flowed into the Minotaur’s body took hold in its muscles and immediately began to create a whirlpool.
A swirl of dark blue light began to turn the Minotaur’s right arm into a mess.
Kkwaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A scream of pain escaped the boy’s mouth.
The vortex swirls ceaselessly like a grinder, grinding away at his right arm.
A large amount of blood sprayed into the air, and the Minotaur, having lost its right arm, writhe in pain.
Even the monster’s unique regenerative powers were of little use in the face of that merciless vortex.
Kuuuung.
The Minotaur shook its upper body violently in an attempt to tear Charon off from its body. However, Charon easily regained his balance and jumped straight towards its left arm.
“Guillotine.”
-Why, you bastard master.
“You are best.”
-You know that now?
Even though he created a huge whirlpool that was enough to crush the Minotaur’s right arm, Charon’s magical power did not decrease even a little.
This was because a greater amount of magical power was flowing into his body than when he had decapitated the knights.
-I am a sword that was originally born to purify dark magic. This is my specialty.
Charon then used his torrent again, this time thrusting his sword into the Minotaur’s left arm.
Kkwudduk.
In an instant, the Minotaur lost both of his arms, and Charon landed lightly on the ground.
Keuuuuuuuuuu-!
The Minotaur’s yellow eyes turn blood red.
Beaming.
A technique to strengthen oneself through black magic. It was a technique similar to the overload and knot used by knights.
The effect of Berserk is to dramatically increase physical abilities.
Wood crunch.
The guy has both of his arms torn off by the whirlwind, but as soon as he goes berserk, veins start sprouting from his wounds like earthworms.
The veins began to intertwine and form the shape of an arm.
Charon licked his upper lip with his tongue as he looked at the sight. Then he smiled and said.
“You cut it so nicely, so what’s the use of it? If you were dissatisfied, you should have told me a long time ago.”
Caron spoke smugly and glanced to the side.
Leon’s tired expression was clearly visible.
Leon smiled weakly as his eyes met with Caron’s.
“Are you here, Caron?”
“Can you fight?”
“… … Not so good. Is there anything I can do to help?”
“No, nothing.”
Caron, who had adjusted his posture, said with a sly smile.
“Please take a closer look. It will help you, Sister.”
Charon noticed that Leon had reached 6 stars.
She must be familiar with the rapids too. I thought it would be a great help to her growth if I could show her what the rapids were.
So Charon rushed at the Minotaur once again.
“You don’t have to wait for me to transform.”
Phew.
The guillotine pierced the Minotaur’s right foot.
Phew! Phew!
Soon the guy’s right leg was blown off along with his calf.
Charon didn’t stop there, he immediately blew up the left side as well to balance it out.
OK.
Kuuuung-!
The giant Minotaur’s body finally fell to the ground.
Grrrrr.
The Minotaur glared at Charon as it fell.
The guy’s red eyes turned towards Caron. The murderous intent and deep black magic contained within them began to press upon Caron’s entire body.
A kind of peer.
Leon flinched slightly at the blast of light emitted by the superior monster, but Charon smiled brightly and approached the Minotaur’s head.
“Now our eye level is somewhat aligned.”
Caron took a brisk stride forward.
Gulp.
Even during that short time, the Minotaur’s body was regenerating, but that didn’t pose much of a threat to Charon.
Thud, thud.
Every time Charon takes a step, the monsters around him flinch and back away.
An unnatural silence flowed over the battlefield where screams and roars had been rampant.
Charon walked through the silence and finally reached the Minotaur’s eyes.
The eyes were full of veins, and they were looking straight at Charon.
-Someone is looking at you through these eyes, Master.
Guillotine, who had discovered traces of black magic, spoke slyly.
“okay?”
That guy who was watching this situation through his eyes, that guy was the one who brought disaster to this land.
Phew.
Charon thrust his guillotine into the Minotaur’s eye, then whispered softly to the one watching beyond the eye.
“It’s your turn next.”
I wasn’t really interested in the identity of the person behind this, whether it was a demon or a warlock.
because.
“I’ll make you beg me to kill you. It won’t take long, so just be excited.”
Whoever it was, I was planning on giving it a miserable end.
That concludes it all.
Phew! Phew!
The Minotaur’s entire head exploded.
Charon let out a soft breath, evaporating the blood pouring down from the sky like rain with his magic.
A long-standing hatred was gleaming in Charon’s eyes.
4.
After the Minotaur’s head exploded, cleaning up the remaining monsters wasn’t that difficult.
The remaining monsters were already frozen like ice.
The monsters that faced their natural enemy, the guillotine, met their end without even being able to resist.
Dealing with a hardened monster wasn’t that difficult.
“This is the last one, Charon.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Utula.”
Utula roughly threw the corpses of the monsters he had been carrying with both hands forward.
In the center of the village, there was a mountain of monster corpses.
The number seemed to be well over 150.
“Should I burn it?”
“That’s right. If you leave it like this, the ground will get damaged.”
“I thought so, so I brought some oil. It was near the blacksmith shop. I brought all the remaining fuel.”
“It’s better to have no oil than to have the monster’s corpse left behind. After all… … it’s going to be hard to survive here anymore.”
The village was already in ruins.
There was no building left untouched, and most of the residents lost their lives.
There were at most ten survivors left in the village.
Judging by the number of buildings, it appears to have been a fairly large village, but it is no longer a place where people can live.
“Then, I will burn it.”
Utula skillfully poured oil over the monster’s corpse.
And he threw the torch he had placed behind him onto it.
Whoosh whoosh-!
The monster’s corpse burns brightly.
Acrid smoke began to rise, but Charon swung his sword lightly, sending the smoke skyward.
“Ughhhhhhh.”
“Hey, hey!”
A mournful lament echoes from all over.
This is a place where the sorrow of the dead and the sadness of the living are mixed together.
Charon took a deep breath, taking it all in. Then he slowly turned around and approached Leo and Leon.
Leo still hadn’t come to his senses, perhaps because he had been tired for a long time.
“I thought that Cheonghaeseong might send you, but you really came.”
Leon said, resting Leo’s head on his lap.
Then Caron nodded with a bitter smile.
“Am I really late?”
“No. You came just in time.”
Charon sat next to Leon and looked down at Leo.
“… … The crazy guy was really trying to overload the core.”
If it had been even a little bit late, there might have been big aftereffects.
Because core overload was the most fatal choice in a knight’s life.
But Caron had no intention of scolding Leo.
“You’ve really grown a lot.”
“yes?”
Magic power that has reached the end of 5 stars, a body that has become stronger than 4 years ago, these are things that should naturally grow over time.
But what made Caron happy was not the physical part, but the mental part.
“Now I know how to sacrifice.”
The will to make sacrifices to protect Leon and the remaining residents.
When I first met him, he was an arrogant guy who only cared about himself.
But now, that guy has shown himself willing to sacrifice himself for others.
Such will is never easy to obtain.
It seemed like Leo had felt a lot over the past four years.
“… … You seem more mature than me.”
At those words, Leon smiled faintly.
“Leo was originally older than you.”
“You should have been like a brother to me all this time. But now… … I guess I should treat you like a brother.”
“Leo tried so hard to help you, so of course you grew.”
“is it?”
Caron nodded with a smirk, then handed her a vial of potion.
Leon downed the potion in one go, then looked at Utula, who was silently cleaning up the village from afar, and said.
“When did you make your new friend?”
“It’s long, so to speak. I just picked it up on the way here… … No, I met it.”
“… … It’s not easy to meet giants.”
“It’s a really long story, so I’ll tell you later. Oh, by the way, why were you and your brother fighting the monsters here?”
At those words, Leon exhaled lightly. Then he answered in a low voice.
“I have a rough idea of where this phenomenon is coming from. It is moving towards the southern forests.”
“What is the basis for your judgment?”
“As we approach the Great Forest, the number of monsters increases. It seems that there is something that summons the monsters there. While I was resting here for a while… … I was attacked like this.”
Considering the vision sharing spell that was on the Minotaur, it was highly likely that it had been targeting Leo and Leon from the beginning.
But Caron deliberately hid his words.
There was no need to make them feel guilty.
Since monsters were roaming this place, being attacked by monsters was probably the end result for the villagers.
“Is there any additional information I should know?”
Then, Leon continued speaking with a slight frown.
“I stopped by a few villages on my way here to get supplies. But there were only traces of the gruesome things in the villages, and no bodies.”
“… … How many places?”
“Seven places just by checking.”
“Huh. There really weren’t any bodies?”
“Yeah. Maybe the monster ate them all.”
Even so, it was strange that not a single body was left behind.
‘… …There were no bodies left?’
There’s the Minotaur he just killed.
Minotaurs are high-level monsters and also the vanguard of the demon army.
Massive body disappearances, and Minotaurs.
Caron was able to draw a conclusion soon enough.
“Look at this kid?”
He realized what the man behind this was up to.
“… …Chaos Gate.”
A door that summons evil beings.
A disaster that spreads death on this land, a disaster whose very existence is terrible.
Having reached that conclusion, Charon said with a frown.
“I guess we need to hurry this up a bit.”
I didn’t know that something unmanageable might happen.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
