Chapter 222 – The Wizard and the Swamp Monster

You heard all the noise from the next room until dawn?
It’s only our party staying in this inn right now, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m fucking ashamed.
Me and Rebecca were at a loss in front of Wendy.

“Ah, ah, ah, no, that’s not it…!”
“Hyaaaaah! Poetry, sorry for being so noisy-!”

I’m not saying I overheard all of them exchanging lewd words with each other. My face is so hot that even if I hit the blanket for the rest of my life, it wouldn’t be enough.

Wendy cleared her throat with a reddened face.

“Since they’re in full swing, it’s possible for both of them. It’s a time when even just eye contact creates a strange atmosphere. . . . But they enjoy it more radically than I thought. I thought they would be a fresh couple who would be shy just holding hands. I was very surprised.”
“Sir, are you saying you’ve been listening to everything from beginning to end?”
“Perhaps. Actually, I thought it was rude to keep listening, so I went for a walk in the middle and came back, but I heard it all the time. Usually, at that point, don’t you get tired of the guy’s side…?”

Wendy’s gaze at me was filled with curiosity that could not be concealed.

“Luke, I know it’s a rude question, but aren’t you tired?”

Despite my embarrassment, I answered Wendy.

“I’m not tired at all. The dreamer clan actually recovers from fatigue when they have sex. Sex is the best medicine for a dreamer.”
“Oh-.”

I can do this all day.
It is unacceptable for the dreamer clan to get tired of having sex. Rather, it’s normal for women to feel the limit and fall out. Hearing my words, Wendy lowered her head.

“I’m suddenly envious of Luke-sama’s lovers. Why haven’t I met a man like Luke-sama? Being caught by human trash… Whoa.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“It’s nothing. Enjoy your youth from now on!”

Wendy pretended to be hers, gave her thumbs up and backed away from us. As Wendy disappeared from her hallway, Rebecca fanned her hand over her flushed face to cool it.

“Luke. Oh, I’ll have to pay attention to the noise from now on! I didn’t expect the sound to be so loud when recharging magic.”
“You can learn soundproofing magic. If it’s charging sound, I’ll take care of everything, so don’t worry.”
“Oh-. King God General Wizard Luke!”

Can you give up charging magic just because you can hear that noise? Anytime, anywhere, whenever you lose weight, you have to start charging activities. As I was thinking about a spell with sound deadening effect, Rebecca suddenly asked me her question.

“By the way, do you remember what Wendy said earlier?
“Ah… That’s probably the ex-husband.”
“Ex-husband?”
“Yes, Mr. Wendy’s ex-husband. After her marriage, he ran away leaving Mr. Wendy and her Mary behind.”

I can guess who Wendy is talking about. Because the only one she treats her as human trash is her ex.

Did she say that she was a man from the family? She was told that Wendy’s marriage was very unhappy, as they were not particularly loving. She said that she was often out of the house and was like almost no one.

She said, ‘She was a terrible human being.’

But as I found out, the reason my ex-husband left the house was because he cheated on me again. After her marriage, her ex-husband and her cheater fled abroad.

“…Wow, there are all such scumbags.”
“Wendy’s not remarrying her remarriage for a reason. She said it was because her previous marriage was too traumatic.”

After hearing my explanation, Rebecca reacted in awe.

“So, what happened to the ex-husband who ran away?
“I heard you were attacked by a monster along with the cheating girl while running away? Both of them were eaten as their bones and flesh were separated. Don’t worry, justice has been served.”
“Good job!”

Wendy’s ex-husband is already dead, so there’s nothing to avenge her on her behalf. I just feel sorry for Wendy and Mary, who have to live with their mother and daughter.

We went out of the hostel and joined the group.
The time has come to set off for the great forest to catch the thief Albert.

“I’m leaving, everyone!”
“Yes Yes…!”

Wendy and Wendy, who are sitting in the driver’s seat, still have no choice but to treat each other awkwardly.

Soon the wagon pulled out of the slug and drove down the road into the Great Forest.

*

Malak Great Forest.
It is a huge forest that occupies 50% of Morph’s territory. The moment we left Slug and entered the Great Forest, we realized that we had entered a jungle full of green.

“There are so many animals I’ve never seen before.”
“That’s a creature called Taramji. It’s a rare animal that can only be found here in the great forest.”
“A squirrel? Are you talking about a squirrel?”
“It’s not a squirrel, it’s a ‘squirrel’! You could say it’s related to squirrels.”

What is taramji? Sipal.
Like people from another world, your naming sense is bizarre. Sitting in the driver’s seat, Wendy taught me about the flora and fauna of the Great Forest. When she listens to the storytelling, there is absolutely no time for her to be bored.

“How long will it take to reach the Great Grove?”
“I should be able to get there in about three days. If you see a fucking big tree from a distance, you can say you’ve almost reached the Holy Land. That’s the World Tree.”

The road to the holy land of the great forest was not always peaceful. As I drove on the road, large locusts would appear one by one.

“They’re killing hoppers! They’re out of the pack.”
“Didn’t you say that the cannibal locusts all left for the east?”
“Sometimes, there are those who do not follow the group and remain in the Great Forest. It cannot be considered completely safe. … They are flying this way!”

As I heard from Director Gasta, I see locusts the size of a forearm! Killing Hopper, a man-eating locust. Individuals who have fallen out of the herd sometimes threaten us.

Wheein-!

The alarm device attached to the carriage roared loudly.
I hurriedly prepared for the raid with my lovers.

“Ahhhhh!”
“You can even fly!”
“Quickly sweep them all away!”

Imagine a large grasshopper with dense teeth embedded in its snout! As they spread their wings and flew up, goose bumps all over their bodies. Are the Morphians attacked by bugs like this every year? It’s hell!

“Hagalaz…!”
“The Lord has given me the authority to judge!!”
“I’ll support you with feathers!”

Me and Kate chanted the spell at the same time. I exploded a compressed [Blizzard] On the tip of my staff, causing the cannibal locusts to bounce off. They are man-eating locusts that fall to the floor and wiggle. Even the appearance of exposing the stomach is disgusting!

“Aaaaagh! Ba, it’s like a cockroach!”
“Kay! Fuck everything!”
“…I will punish Baldur-sama!! Nun Deathbeam!!”

A hot laser shot from the palm Kate stretched out in front of her. The laser swept past the man-eating locusts lying on the floor.

ㅡKiriririririk!!
ㅁ Kiriririririririk!!!

The cannibal locusts that were directly hit by the laser burned their bodies. It is truly a death beam that only nuns can perform! If you get hit, you won’t even be able to find a bone!

-Kiririk!

There were locusts approaching the wagon to avoid the blizzard and lasers. The locusts flew in at high speed and aimed at the driver’s seat, but a counterattack was immediately made.

“Summon Sylph-!”

The lower spirit sylphs summoned by Wendy blew the blades of the vacuum. Even the feathers that Bella had sown caught on them, and the locusts were eventually wiped out.

“Whoa, the tree is burning! The firepower of my deathbeam is too strong.”
“The fire can be extinguished with magic. But why do you call the [Demonic Punishment] Spell Deathbeam…?”
“If you hit it, you die, so it’s a death beam-! Nun death beam!”

He even gave names to the newly learned spells, so he must have liked the [Demonic Punishment] Spell. Is the name given to Death Beam, of all things? It’s national rule to shoot death beams with your fingers.

“Liquid ring.”

I summoned a wave to extinguish the fire the laser had set on the tree. It was time to seriously teach Kate what deathbeam was.

“Huh? Didn’t you deal with all the locusts?”
“The alarm is still ringing.”

The battle was over, but the wagon alarm still buzzed. It means that there are creatures that are hostile to us nearby. I looked around and met a strange face and eyes among the thick trees.

“Huhhhhh-!!”

It was a huge humanoid creature about 3m tall. An ugly face with buck teeth sprouting from its disgusting slime skin. Its strange resemblance to humans reminds us of the Unpleasant Valley.

In a word, he’s fucking ugly.
Everyone can’t help but be surprised when you suddenly put your face on it.

Surprised fuck!
From the way the alarm goes off, he must be hostile to us. It was the moment I grabbed my staff and was about to cast a spell.

[Who are you? It smells similar to Albert who woke me up.]

Albert?
I stopped when I heard a name I knew all of a sudden. The ugly creature was staring at me with yellow eyes.

[It smells very familiar… I feel at ease as if I came home. Are you, like me, born from the abyss?]

What do you smell like? The only smell coming out of me right now is the smell of sweat!
I clenched my staff tightly and answered the monster’s question.

“Ah, the abyss! Certainly my place of origin is deep and dark.”
[What?]
“——I’m talking about the Bronze Deep Sea. It’s a place deeper and darker than Hell. It’s where all kinds of trolls live as residents.”

I don’t know what Abyss means.
Still, I had the experience of living in a roughly similar place. Bronze is a deep, dark abyss. There’s a freaking dragon king trying to communicate with monsters there.

[Hoo.]

The monster creature seemed to understand my nonsensical remarks positively. He no longer antagonized us.

[It’s a place deeper and darker than hell! Most likely my compatriots. Are the women in the background a sacrifice? Don’t make too much fuss in the Great Grove. Swamp monsters like us have more sensitive ears than others.]

Good.
We succeeded in breaking the border. I planned to throw the [Frozen Orb] While he was caught off guard. However, the monster’s body disappeared before he could completely collect the cold air in his palm.

Without any warning, the body of 3M sank to the floor. In the place where it disappeared, a sticky swamp was formed. I looked into the swamp, but the huge body was nowhere to be seen.

“Ba, what was it just now? The gooey monster talked to Luke-sama. It’s the first monster I’ve ever seen, even living in Morph.”
“I heard that Luke is a fellow countryman? Is he a monster you know?”

The eyes of the people around the wagon turned to me.
Like everyone else, I was just embarrassed.

I was just saying anything to get time for casting.
I didn’t know you could talk to monsters.

“Aaaaa! Dreamer-sama! What the hell is it?”

I answered everyone with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t know… What is that… I’m scared too.”

It was the moment when I answered honestly that I did not know.

People’s footsteps could be heard from afar.
There were people coming towards us.
