Chapter 342 – Nihilism.

-Shoot it

As Hildisbini hit the ground, the wagon began to cut through the current with the sound of waves. Before departing, Usher swallowed his regret as he recalled Erica, whom he could not find no matter how much he looked back, but looked ahead with his full heart.

-Kurreuk!

There was the back of Kane, a knight riding on the back of a large Hildisbini. In the wagon a little further ahead, Gideon and Rachel would be pulling a wagon full of food in their Hildis beanies. It was when Usher was displeased with the fact that he was the only one in the carriage.

“Soon we will reach Pacitilla’s area!”

Hearing Gideon’s voice in front of him, Kane urged Hildisbini to shorten the distance from the wagon ahead. It was because of the area of ​​Pacitillas that existed like a belt around the deep water that divided the area from Parz. When Usher came out with Ya Karp, he was able to use bait to escape. Likewise, you should lure them with bait and avoid their gaze.

-Swipe! Wedge liquid!

I turn the sling on the wagon that was moving ahead and throw something to the right so that it flies far away. As soon as it falls into the water with the sound of fondant, the black water that reflects the moonlight begins to swell around it. But that’s for a while. As the black water could no longer withstand the surging and was washed away, a huge mass of pure white flesh was revealed. The sight of the pacitillas clumped together was repulsive as expected, but after a while, I could see them coming out one by one, as if a skein of thread was unraveling.

“Tsk, you’re faster than I thought. Throw more!”
– Whiik! Whiik!

At Gideon’s voice, this time Kane took the sling out of her pocket and began to wield it, but Usher, who knew the identity of the stone at the center of the sling, couldn’t help but take it lightly.

– Wedge juice!

It was unfolded the moment it was thrown away, and it was no different from a woman’s underwear. Considering the characteristics of pacitillas, it is natural to use something like that as bait, but I was confused when I remembered the mermaids giving away their clothes while blushing.

– Fondant

Once again, when the bait landed on the right side, some of the pacitillas that had been scattered like a skein quickly rushed to the spot. Now, on top of the black water, two tufts of pure white meat were revealed. There were such ugly things hidden in the water that illuminated the moon that rose loftily above the sky. There was only one moon in the sky, but they escaped from the three moons in the black sea.

-Kurrureuk!

That could be seen thanks to the numerous mangrove forests visible here and there, as the Hilldisbinies, who were slightly exhausted from running a little faster, slowed down their steps a little. There are mangrove forests in some remote areas, but I heard that the most numerous are near Parz. As the night deepened, the stars came rushing to the dark night sky, and the stars began to shine on the water that illuminated him. The road running to Parz, avoiding the mangrove forest floating in the night sky, even looks peaceful.

‘Nausicaa sister, you should be safe.’

Even though Usher’s heart is getting impatient as Parz approaches. Then, at last, the shape of the white cliff that was sheer in the distance came into sight. Parz was really right in front of me. Then, suddenly, Gideon and Rachel, who were ahead of them, turned and started to turn left, but this was already planned, so Kane did not panic and turned the nose in the opposite direction and took a detour. It was because they had to cross a forest road full of mangroves because there was a possibility of being caught.

-Kirrrr!

But he couldn’t stay calm. Sure enough, as they entered the waterway through the mangrove forest, the tyrannical beasts hiding in the crevices created by the trees revealed their teeth. Upon hearing the familiar sound, Usher immediately raised his rapier and shield and listened to the sounds around him.

– Sasasak! Fault!

The sound of running lightly on the roots that are no different from the mangrove branches. Despite the appearance of strong spurring, far from the sound of branches breaking, the sound of more numbers approaching them can be heard. And his identity was soon revealed.

-Kiririk!!

Leaping in front of them and revealing itself under the moonlight, it was Gusakraptor, a small hunter that ran bipedally and tried to sting with long feathers like sharp claws. However, the opponent was not very good.

-Kurrureuk!
– Kkiek!!

Hill Disbiny, who was much bigger than him, threw the gussa Crab Thor into the night sky just by shaking his head as if it were annoying, and made him fall under the wheels of the wagon. The wheel was half submerged in the night sky, so I couldn’t see it directly, but the slight jolt of the carriage was enough to tell.

-Kiririk!
-Kirrrr!

In the meantime, another two pounced on Kane from both sides. Since he couldn’t use magic right now, Usher held on to his rapier even more, fearing that there might be a problem.

– Kiek!
– Kreuk!

As his concerns were put to shame, the two were blown away by being hit in the head by Kane’s thick triangular blade. But their raids didn’t end there.

– Kiik!
– Kiriririririk!

After that, they began to rush at numbers that were hard to count, as if the bogey was over. This time, he seemed to be aiming for the back, and he entered the carriage that was open.

– Kiriik!
“Ugh!”

It was only natural to find Usher there. It’s a look that I can’t get friendly with even if I see it again after a long time. Like a bird, it was full of white feathers, but without a beak, with a long snout, sharp teeth, bright yellow eyes and a long tail, it looked more like a lizard. I rushed towards him, salivating profusely as if I wanted to fill my hungry stomach.

– Jjaeong!
– Kiyiik!

Before that, he was hit by Usher’s shield and was thrown out of the wagon. He fell from the carriage he was running on, so it would be difficult to chase him anymore, but he is not one.

-Kirrureuk!
– Kiririririk!

As soon as my fellow tribesman fell out, he erected his mane feathers around his neck and shook them as if threatening, as if he had thought that he was not an easy opponent. Soon after, confirming that they were charging forward and backward at the same time, Usher slung his shield on his back and swung his rapier to decapitate one of them.

– Kiik!

While the one trying to hit the back was blocked by the shield and panicked, the remaining one stepped back against the wall of the wagon and was crushed by the shield. Clumsy! Along with the sound, the sensation of his bones being crushed came through his back, but he couldn’t afford to pay attention to it.

– Kigiik!

How many of them are aiming for this wagon? Immediately after defeating the two, new Gusakraptors climb on the wagon with their sharp feathers as if to fill the empty seats. He glanced over at Kane, but he was busy cutting off the attacking guys with his sword while holding onto Hildisbini’s reins with one hand. Usher had to deal with these guys alone somehow. Instead, he raised his shield in case he was surrounded, just like before, without moving away from where he had just crushed one of them.

-Kiririk!

Even if they keep running at you, you can knock them out or kill them. How many Gusakraptors did he kill and push away?

“Haha.”

Usher, feeling that he had barely had time to rest, looked inside the carriage. Fortunately, they were not interested in people’s food, but the luggage was fine, but the inside of the wagon was full of bodies, flesh, bone fragments, and blood. It was when I was tossing their bodies out of the wagon one by one, on the alert that there might be more left.

“It’s much better than I thought.”
“Yes?”

He didn’t expect Kane to talk to him first, so he raised his head to look at him, but only saw the back of the knight driving the Hildis Beanie in silence.

“Did you say you were Yakaf’s disciple?”
“Do you know Master?”

When he came up from the basement, he remembered fighting him and asked, and he sighed.

“Yeah, because I’ve heard a lot of stories.”

Feeling the complex emotions in Kane’s voice that he couldn’t put into words, Usher mumbled. He decided to ask what he was curious about while he was speechless.

“Why did you decide to join the rescue team?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why he would join the rescue team. Kane would have continued to live in the Holy Land as a paladin, and even so, the Cait Sith would have been hostile to the Harpies. But he didn’t know why he was following Gideon and Rachel to rescue them. Then he opens his mouth with a moment of silence.

“…I wanted to see what she saw in you.”
“Is she her?”

I couldn’t tell who he was talking about, so I was thinking about who he was.

“We’ll talk about the details later. We’ll be arriving soon.”
“Ah.”

When I came to my senses after hearing his words, I realized that the carriage had slowed down and hid in the shade of the mangroves. Kane said as he was wary of another Gusakraptor coming out of the shadows.

“Looks like the entrance to the ruins ahead.”

When he followed his gaze, he found piles of gray rocks close to black, unlike the pure white sand of Parz. At first glance, it looked like a simple hill with full of mangrove trees, but upon closer inspection, the patterns and angular shapes carved here and there on the black rock told the traces of the building.

“Isn’t the front too open?!”

Usher shouted quietly and shook his head at Kane.

“I heard that the entrance on the other side is the same. In the first place, since it is in such a dangerous place, someone said that it was almost neglected without even thinking about it.”

I couldn’t believe that people were hiding in a place like that, but I couldn’t help it because I brought food. There was no other good way, so it was the moment when he looked around and drove Hildisbini to the ruins.

-Puuuuu!

It was at the moment when Kane immediately pulled out the triangular sword that Hildisviny suddenly warned the enemy and retreated.

“Was this the correct answer?”

At the same time, the eerie voice was heard quietly.

– Kwaaaaang!
“Gagging!?”
“Turn it off!!”

The sound of the explosion that seemed to burst his ears along with the shock that shook the carriage without time to cope. Usher felt the food he had brought for the people explode and hit his body, and he managed to activate his magic to prevent another shock, but he couldn’t escape the shock that had already shaken the carriage in the first place.

“Ugh.”

When she came to her senses at the cold touch of her body, she realized that she had already been thrown out of the carriage. And the moment he barely found the ground in the night sky and lifted his head.

“I’ve been waiting for a really long time. I thought you were tired of waiting for me to come back now.”
“Huh!”

Usher gasped in vain at the jet-blackness that was right in front of him.

“Now, tell me. Where is Belka?”

Because there, Jude, the wizard he wanted to avoid so much, was looking down at him.
