## Chapter 610 – The Scent of Spring

ㅡWhoosh!

As the Deathworm’s massive form collapsed, I plummeted towards the ground.

I’d used too much mana. The Heavenly Demon Advent, a combination of sword energy and supergravity, was a monster that devoured mana as much as it displayed inhuman power.

Right now, I was using all my strength just to maintain my stance, standing on the Deathworm’s tongue. The damn thing’s head had exploded, leaving only its lower jaw and tongue.

“Not bad.”

ㅡI should have shown this to my wives.

The monster was mighty. As destructive as its enormous body, it spread death across the battlefield. But that was all. Even the Deathworm couldn’t stand against the Heavenly Demon Kim Kat.

“Only I could do this.”

For the Heavenly Demon Kim Kat, this was perfectly natural.

“Since I did it, it’s only natural.”

Who would dare speak of the impossible to Kim Kat?

“For the Heavenly Demon, there is no such thing as impossible.”

Having exhausted all my mana, was there any way to survive this insane fall? This was a dangerous situation. If I only had mana, I could do something. That was my specialty. But I didn’t have any right now.

However.

As I said, the impossible doesn’t exist for me.

“I can do anything.”

So I shouted.

“Young Lady!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Damn it, if I couldn’t do it with my own strength, I’d have to borrow someone else’s! It was great that I killed the Deathworm, but if I fell from here, I’d have at least a fracture, no cap!!!

Fracture my ass, I could die!!

Last time, I got hit by a troll and broke my arm, which caused so much worry. I couldn’t imagine what Winia would say if I came back broken again! Suddenly, that was scarier than the monster!

“Save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

A piercing scream echoed through the world.

Young Lady!

Where was the Isevant Young Lady!!!!

If this woman cooperated to kill it, shouldn’t she be responsible for the dealer until the end!!! Actually, I was thinking about that from the start!

ㅡFlash!!!

At that very moment, something red flew towards me.

“Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ugh!!!”

It was the Isevant Young Lady. She snatched me, who was precariously balanced on the Deathworm’s tongue, and then—*tsupat!*—leapt through the air.

“Y-Young Lady!!!”
“You did well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Young Lady screamed with wild eyes.

ㅡSparkle, sparkle.

Judging by the sparkle in her eyes, she seemed deeply moved. She likes warriors, so she must have been shocked by what I just did.

Anyway, it was a great combination.

Her strike was precise, allowing me to fly all the way to the Deathworm’s head. She has the talent of a home run hitter.

“I can’t believe such a thing could happen!!!!!!!!!! You are truly the epitome of a warrior!!!! Not only did you fly that far, but you even used the momentum of the fall for your attack! This humble one is extremely moved!!!!!!!!”

The Young Lady shouted as if she had seen something incredible.
But what?

“Young Lady? Weren’t you the one who sent me flying to hit its head in the first place?”

She clearly said with conviction that she was sending me flying to strike its head, but she’s so surprised now… Did she secretly have doubts?

You son of a bitch…!

“That’s just how I say things!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, I knew this would happen, Ohohohohohohohot!!! That’s the kind of trust this humble one has!!!!”
“I-Is that so? Heh, hehehehehehe!!!! Of course, that must be it!!!!!”

I laughed with the Young Lady.

ㅡThud!

We landed safely on the ground.

The Young Lady let me down as soon as we touched the ground, and I threw the half-broken Hwalin Sword behind me and shouted in triumph.

“Hooray!!!!! Hooray!!!!!!! We defeated the Deathworm!!!!!!”
“The birth of a Deathworm Slayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray!!!!!!!”

The Young Lady also stood in front of me, smiling broadly and shouting in triumph.

The Young Lady and I repeatedly raised our arms and shouted.

ㅡHoorayyyyyy!!!!!

No cap, the Young Lady and I took down that huge Deathworm together.

Such large monster species cannot be killed by two people alone. They require a trained hunting army, as well as a large number of mages.

But I hunted it with an impromptu method without any special preparation. What a great achievement this was. If there were any witnesses, my fame would echo throughout the city.

ㅡSpin, spin!

Before I knew it, I was holding hands with the Young Lady and spinning around like crazy.

“Ohohohohohohohot! I can’t believe there could be such a joyful day!!!! It’s the first time I’ve seen such extreme bravery since we defeated the ogre!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laugh! Rejoice! You, the barbarian warrior, have every right to do so!!!!!”
“Hoo-! Hahahahahahaha! I’m so glad to hear you say that, Young Lady! I don’t even care about the Deathworm anymore!!!!!!”
“You’re that happy!!!!!!! Indeed, a natural joy!!!!!!”

While shouting loudly, we naturally changed our posture.

“A chain reaction of joydejaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!”

I faced the Young Lady, linked arms, and spun around in place like a merry-go-round. Lifting our knees to chest height, we hopped and skipped, moving to the rhythm forever. After spinning like that for a while, we switched positions and spun in the opposite direction.

“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!”

After stopping the spinning dance, I unleashed an uncontrollable impulse and sprinted across the battlefield.

All that remained in every direction was devastated soil, blood, and corpses. Among them, the most towering and dignified was the corpse of the Deathworm with its head blown off.

“A warrior overflowing with strength!!!!!! All warriors should have such bravery as you!!!!! A joyful and lamentable thing at the same time!!!!!!!! Because warriors like you are rare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡClap, clap, clap, clap, clap!!!!!!!

The Young Lady screamed while clapping endlessly.

I was happy because she seemed genuinely pleased. It was truly a great achievement, and it was time for a reward.

ㅡIyaaaaaaaaaaaaaao!!!!

I sprinted around on all fours for a while, screaming like crazy.

After releasing my inner joy, impulse, and sense of accomplishment in that way, I regained my senses along with a great sense of fatigue. I steadied my staggering body and knelt on one knee in front of the Young Lady.

“You did a great job!!! This is an extremely remarkable achievement that will be talked about for generations!!!! Even if you searched all of Isevant, you would be the only warrior who has displayed such ferocity!!! I’m moved, so moved!!!!!”
“No!!! That’s not it, Young Lady!”
“What are you talking about!”

I shouted while kneeling.

“This is an achievement that the Young Lady and I accomplished together!!!! In other words, a double slayer!!! A Deathworm duo!!!!!!!!!”
“Th-That…!”

At my words, the Young Lady widened her eyes and covered her mouth with the back of her hand, bursting into laughter.

“Ohohohohohohot!!! To be so honorable in the face of money!!!!!!!!!! You are truly a warrior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Since receiving a large sum of money is the same anyway, wouldn’t it be more important to build a relationship with the Duke’s Young Lady? I’ll become a Paladin when I go to the capital, and I’ll definitely need connections as I go around doing work.

These connections will surely be useful someday.

And… even if the Young Lady gives it all to me, the Lord of Isevant won’t stay still when he hears this news. If I say I’ll take it all, there will definitely be complaints from that side. It’s better for my face and their face if I offer to split it in half first.

“Then let’s do that! I will take responsibility for selling the Deathworm’s corpse at a fair price, so please wait with peace of mind!!!!!!!”
“Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!”

I bowed again and expressed my great gratitude.

The Young Lady is doing something for me that I can’t do.

In fact, it was impossible to sell something like this properly without a force like the Young Lady’s. Since the Young Lady is doing it herself, there’s no chance of being ripped off by thugs. If I were to sell this on my own, I would spend all my time chasing away thieves.

More than anything, the Young Lady will try to sell it as expensively as possible since half of it is her share.

From what I can see, this woman must have a lot of headaches about the post-war recovery costs and the condolence money to be given to the dead soldiers.

Anyway, I can rest without worrying about any of that and just go to receive the money later.

And that’s half of the net profit.

Where else in the world could there be a greater reward than this…!

If I make money, I can buy a house in the capital and do whatever my wives want! I’ll be able to buy elixirs, and I’ll be able to buy a really good horse and carriage!

“Please wait a moment!!!!!”

The Young Lady, who took out a pen and paper from her pocket, looked around for a moment, poked the tip of the pen at the drake’s corpse nearby, and began to write a document with its blood.

Then, she took out her seal and stamped the document, also using blood.

“Here, take this!!! If you bring this to me later, I will give you the money I have prepared!!!!!”
“Thank you, Young Lady!!!!!!!”
“Ohohohohohohot!!! I think I’m more grateful!!! Because I directly confirmed an unbelievable achievement with my own two eyes!!!”
“Hehehehehehe! I’m more grateful!”

My laughter and the Young Lady’s laughter echoed loudly in the corpse-filled plains. Wow, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about money for a while.
