Chapter 650 – The Scent of Flowers

ㅡ…

I calmed down my anger for a while and thought about why that bastard transformed into a dragon.

Didn’t Saint Cadia say that Lizardmen worship dragons? If so, it could be that he transformed to increase his strength by receiving the worship of those lizard heads.

I don’t know for sure, but it seems reliable.

That demon was not good at touching humans, so he compromised with monsters. In fact, the church didn’t solve the riots of these monsters well.

Because they are more focused on searching for demons and heretics. Slaying monsters is the job of city adventurers or lords. So, if you intended to avoid the eyes of the church, you did very well.

But now.

Just by looking at it, the Demon Dragon that is being worshiped.

Right now, the Lizardmen group is moving to the jungle near the city. A demon who chose to be worshiped by monsters rather than humans in order to remain unnoticed would do such a thing?

It gets noticed right away.

It is a contradictory action.

If that’s the case, it means there’s another purpose… Well, the details can be written in a report after you kill him and find out.

The head, which has become clearer than ever, finished quick judgment and analysis.

The demon who transformed into that dragon has a purpose. And that purpose can be achieved by moving the Lizardmen.

It must be for a sinister, terrible… Purpose.

Due to the nature of the devil, it must have been a very beneficial purpose for the devil himself. It must be an extremely horrific and vicious, inhuman scheme that would make even the most brutal serial killers tremble and cry like three-year-olds.

Must be stopped
I can’t just leave things like that…!

“Hilde. Let’s retreat. We need to aim for the timing of the attack.”
“Yes. I do.”

I was about to get away from the Lizardmen’s stronghold. Just as I was about to check the view for the last time, something caught my eye.

ㅡKurururuk, Kuruk! Kyu-woo, Kyu-woo! Kreuluk!

At first glance, it was a Lizardman wearing very fancy ornaments. It was decorated with strange paints and feathers, and was carrying a staff made from the skull and spine of a Lizardman.

Is that a lizardman shaman leading the pack?

The gnome performed exaggeratedly, dancing and offering spells as if fawning over the dragon-turned-demon.

ㅡHurt!

The blooming blue flame adds to the thrill.

They don’t even know that bastard is a devil and they worship it. Believing that it was a dragon now, he knelt down to listen to the oracle. In my eyes it looks like that.

As expected of a monster kid, he’s a jerk.

“…”

I left the scene with Hilde without regret.

There is nothing good about going straight into the yard where even the devil is. Even if there is no devil in the first place, it is the same.

Observe them from a little distance away and set the timing for an attack. Even if it’s a bit overkill, that shaman kid and the devil must be killed.

“Kat-sama. I don’t think he’s a very strong and powerful demon. It’s probably because he turned into a dragon to gain the worship of the Lizardmen.”
“I feel the same way.”

But that’s why it doesn’t make sense for them to go to the jungle.

What’s in the jungle

From what I’ve heard, after the murderous wasp incident, after continuous pioneering and subjugation, it was said to have secured a decent stability.

“But Hilde. It’s going to take some time to cut them down, would you like to go back? I’ll tell you what happened when it’s over.”
“No. I want to stay with Katt-sama. Can I stay by your side? I want to help you with anything.”
“There’s not much of a problem… Yes, stay if you want.”
“Ehehe, permission has been granted. I like you.”

Hilde smiled wide with a reddened face.

“Kat-nim. You know that I love Katt-nim, right?”
“I say it every day, don’t you know?”
“What do you think of me?”
“Demon friend?”
“Correct it. It’s a demon friend who loves Kat. I think I need to keep recognizing it. That way, I’ll think about it one more time.”
“This baby dash is too bad.”

He looks so much like Ari.

While she and Hilde chatted moderately, she settled down in a suitable location and watched over her Lizardmen. It seems they haven’t noticed my existence yet. As well as the devil

—Sureuk.

So the sun started to set.

I said I’m going in early, but I’ll be going in tomorrow. Anyway, it started after the sun went down. The Lizardmen who lit the magical fire began to march.

My enhanced senses allowed me to recognize my surroundings properly even in the dark.

ㅡ…

I tracked them down right away.

The pace wasn’t that fast. Just walking slowly. The demon transformed into a dragon was riding very comfortably on top of a palanquin led by the Lizardmen.

The guys moved slowly, taking a break once in a while. Sometimes they went hunting in small groups.

I followed them until morning, avoiding their eyes. I stayed up all night, but I wasn’t particularly tired. Because I am strong both mentally and physically.

That was when the sun came up.

While closely monitoring Hilde, the Lizardmen suddenly began to move in perfect order. To continue surveillance while properly hiding oneself, indeed.

“Aaaaa!!”
“Kyaaaaa!!”
“Kill!”

People’s voices were heard from the other side.

Under the circumstances, they seemed to be adventurers who came to find the Lizardmen. It’s not a terrain that merchants or travelers can go through.

“Kat-sama? I think they are humans.”
“I’m listening too.”
“I think I’m fighting the Lizardmen right now… I’ll transform into a human first.”
“Yes.”

—Sararak.

Enveloped in pink smoke, Hildegard transformed into a human form.

The devil’s horns, tail, and wings disappeared, and the elf-like long ears shortened, the dark-colored sclera whitened, and fangs inserted.

The snake-like vertical pupil also turns round.

The decadent succubus instantly turned into a human beauty.

“Oh, you stare at me like that… Whoa, now you’re in human form, how? Is that okay? You’re not a succubus now, but a human?”
“What a surprise. You’ve seen it a lot.”
“That’s right. Did you just want to put it in or touch it? Don’t you think so?”
“No, dude.”

Anyway, I checked the situation right away.

—Urr.

Now, a number of Lizardmen’s forces have fallen all the way. It’s probably trying to deal with the adventurers. There were also scouts I cut, so I must have been holding on tight.

Whatever it is, thanks to my adventurer friends who came to work, my troops have been drained.

It was a good thing for me who was aiming for the timing. You can use the current situation to hit the shaman and slice the devil. No matter how great the skills of the adventurers, if a platoon-level lizardman went to attack all at once, they would not be able to avoid the struggle.

Then enough I can kill them all.

“Hilde. Hide here. I’ll come back after a while.”
“Yes? I’m coming with you. There’s a demon, but I want to help you if something happens.”
“You’ve transformed into a human now. Aren’t you good at using magic?”
“Because it’s not such a severe penalty… Mr. Kat, I’m not going to do this once or twice. I’ll take care of my body, so let’s go together? Yes?”
“Well… Then do that. Anyway, thank you.”

You don’t have to stop to help.

I inspected their main body for the last time. About half of the troops had escaped, and now all that remains are shamans and demons in dragon form. And only the guards guarding him. There is no problem with that!

As expected, sincere adventurer friends!

Hitting them on the head when they’re fighting hard will lighten their burden!

ㅡPay!

After making my decision, I immediately grabbed the sword and sprinted at full speed. I’m running, but it’s really fucking fast. As the resistance of the air swirls, the surrounding landscape whizzes by.

In an instant, I broke through the landmarks and reached their main body.

“Dejaaaaa!!!!!”

The first thing to kill is the shaman. Kill the wizard first and clean up the surroundings while hitting the demons! With that in mind, he passed between the Lizardmen.

ㅡk, keureurreuk?!!
ㅡKeureuk?! Creepers!
ㅡKyuup?! Shhh! Shhh!

Because of my inhuman speed, the Lizardmen could not immediately respond. In that state, I ran in a straight line toward the shaman.

ㅡClaralarak! Karak!

At the same time, the shaman glered at me, raised her staff her, and created blue flames. Near him, four muscular Lizardman warriors, slightly larger than the others, stood guard.

And-

ㅡFire up!

Fireworks shot towards me.

The four warriors prepared to attack me as if they were aiming for a follow-up after the flames raged, unfolding like cranes, but you guys were mistaken now.

ㅡPachichik!

The great magic artifact Risha had made her play her own role. A black electric current bounced in an instant and erased the flying blue fireball.

ㅡ Crack?!

As if she hadn’t thought of that, the shaman stepped back from her in an instant, and——Quaang! As it is, it steps on the Heavenly Demon’s reign and flies in front of the empty Shaman.

ㅡWhere you go!!

In that state, he swung his sword accustomed to cutting off the shaman’s head.

ㅡDengggung!

Indeed, simply, the shaman’s head flew through the sky, and the Lizardman warriors who looked at it briefly roared. The escort failed in an instant. Right in front of you too.

ㅡKooooo!
ㅡKwaaaaa!
ㅡKurrureurreuk!!!

“Come on, come on!! You bastard lizards!!!!”

ㅡParts Tsutsut!

Flows mana to create sword energy. It would be possible to annihilate them all if they cut them all down and join the adventurers from earlier—- Huh?

That was the moment.

ㅡSmoothly.
ㅡslurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Suddenly, green smoke rose from the shaman’s severed head, motherfucking!! He’s It’s a ghost!!! The moment he was about to be surprised by saying—-Flutter! A demon in dragon form suddenly appeared from somewhere and flew in.

“Kat-sama!”

ㅡPeruk!

But the guy didn’t fly away and landed on the ground. It was because Hildegard created the magic circle and used the magic of restraint. It was what restrained me and Elise in the past.

“Kiyaaaaa!!”

In an instant, the demon slammed into the ground howled. Its large wings flap meaninglessly and its long tail sweeps the ground. It definitely looks like a dragon, so the feeling of intimidation is different. Anyway, the Lizardman warriors who let out a roar at the same time he was fucking were approaching the green, semi-transparent sphere that the Shaman’s severed head spewed out.

“Kat-nim! That’s the soul! It’s the shaman’s soul!”
“That’s Soul!!!!!”

I don’t know what it is, but I’ll break it in two! Immediately set the target as the shaman’s soul and jumped out, ㅡkeurreureuk!! The Lizardmen warriors tried to stop me while pushing their weapons.

“Get out of here!!!!”

ㅡWeeeee!!

The bow sword, enveloped in sword energy, drew a large trajectory. Strength, skill. And that murderous slash equipped with the triplex of the sword blade severed everything within its trajectory.

ㅡPushak!
ㅡpattern!

As a result, the entire Lizardman warriors, which were split in two, fell to the floor like toppings on a pizza. Other than that, there was nothing else to say. Because the upper body and weapon were pinned to the ground like that.

If you are not a real strongman or a monster, resistance is meaningless in front of me!

“Where is the soul!!!”
“Kat-sama, this way!!”

It was just like that when he tried to cut his soul.

“…!”

The place the soul headed was neither heaven nor earth. That would mean that even with heaven, they did not head to hell.

No, did the soul seem so concrete in the first place?

I’ve done quite a bit of killing myself, but I’ve never seen anything like that. That doesn’t mean it’s not a soul… No. Since Hilde said she was a soul, she would get hit, maybe it was a soul that materialized due to magical powers or something like that?

A momentary understanding passed through my mind, and what I saw was that green shaman soul going inside the mouth of the devil of the dragon form that was subdued by Hilde. The warrior chews interfered with it!

Could it be that he absorbed the soul!

“Heh, hehe!Hehe…!”

And at the same time as the strange sound of laughter comes out—

ㅡPachangchang!

“Kyaaak!!”

With Hilde’s spell broken, the demon was released.

ㅡHurt!

The freed demon flapped its large wings and flew up, and a small storm arose as black smoke rolled in at once.

“Ghehe!!!”

The devil roared.

Because that black storm formed a sphere centered on the devil.

Like an egg to be reborn.

“In front of whom is this crazy Horo bastard transforming?!”

Of course, I jumped at the orb without further weighing it and threw the knife. At first glance, the chewy soul absorbs and transforms it, but there was no reason to wait!

ㅡChuck!

A well-placed sword strikes the black orb and disperses the smoke.

“Ghaaaaa!!!!”

Then came the piercing screams of demons. That wasn’t the end. As the spheres disintegrated, something black came out like an egg and crashed into the ground.

ㅡ Iron puck!

“Who is this bastard?”

Are you sick?

Anyway, I’m going to finish it quickly and organize the remaining lizardmen, so ㅡburrrrr!!! Suddenly, a sword, no. The bugal started vibrating like a broken vibrator.

“Uh, huh?”

What’s wrong with this bastard again!
