Chapter 51 – Chapter 51- Atria in Danger

“Thai is attacking Fox Island?”

Something might have happened to Fox Island, Kang-rim thought.
Even though more than six days had passed since her ship sank, Atria had not sent a single rescue vessel,
She didn’t send a single pigtail.
Iris is in the middle of a conquest, and although she said she couldn’t help it because Advent himself ordered it to be her first priority, Atria was not in a state of restraint like Iris.

I’m not constrained, so why am I not seeing any action?
Why didn’t he do anything other than send a letter to Iris, who was beating up the union in the midst of it, asking him to find Advent?
Did something happen in between?
Could it be that something happened that she couldn’t send even if she wanted to send a rescue team?
If that’s not the case…

She even had the absurd thought that perhaps she was plotting treason.

‘Ah, no. Could Atria do something like that?’

She is a secretary who sacrifices her life for the sake of the grid, even if her appearance looks black.
Otherwise, she would have been poisoned and would not have used black magic to save Sungrid at the crossroads of her life and death.

How could a woman like that betray her out of the blue?
Kang-rim sincerely prayed that she would not betray him and that the number of women he trusted would not decrease.

Fortunately, the final development of Atria’s betrayal did not occur.

Even the worst developments appeared before Advent.

“Tell me in detail what happened.”
“Yes, I understand.”

The tortoise warrior knelt down and told her all she had seen.
The carapace had large claw marks, and blood was dripping from all over the body.
Treatment is urgent right now, but the warrior has been postponed until later.

Right now, the urgent priority is how to prevent the cataclysm of Thailand.

“When we reached the vicinity of Fox Island, one of the flagships was under attack by Tai.”
“… Result?”
“It was a win for Thailand.”
“…”
“But, Tai’s appearance was strange.”
“Is it strange?”

〈 Ty is able to transform into a giant tiger through instinct regression 〉.
She becomes a monster at will and kills herself.
Did something happen to Ty?
To Kang-rim, who couldn’t get rid of the question mark that popped up in her head, the warrior of the turtle tribe told her what she felt incongruity.

“The original color should be orange, but the tie I saw was black.”
“Black?”
“Yes, it was a black tiger. The energy radiating from her body was also ominous black.”
“Nonsense…”

Kang-rim put on an expression of disbelief.

‘Could it be that Ty took the medicine?’

If what this tortoise woman just said is true, it is possible that Ty took the drug.
Because unless she took that medicine, she wouldn’t become an orange, black tiger, and there would be no ominous black aura coming out of her body.

‘A drug that is hard to find even in the game?’

A forbidden potion developed by humans who cultivated a brilliant ancient civilization.
It was created to deal with monsters that humans could not do anything about with their power alone.
Those who gained great power through drugs were able to protect their homeland,

Ironically, because of that power, they destroyed the civilization they had built.

Currently, no drug has survived, but the recipe for making it remains.
With enough materials and time, it is possible to reinstate a forbidden drug.

How did Ty get the drug? In the game, it can only be obtained through hunting,
How did they secure the drug, which had an extremely low probability of getting it?
Who the hell gave Ty the drug?

Don’t know what the truth is However, this much I can say with certainty.

‘If you really ate…’

I have no choice but to give up getting my hands on tie and change direction to get rid of it.
Right now, Kang-rim has no way to detoxify the drug, or to reverse Ty, who has become a monster after taking the drug.

“How is the situation on Fox Island now?”
“It’s the worst.”

To Kang-rim’s question, the turtle woman answered like that.

“The ships are all sunk. Ty has landed on the island, and Atria has rallied her men to resist, but it won’t last long.”
“There’s something I’d like to ask you…”

While listening to the story, Kang-rim suddenly became suspicious and asked.

“Why are you alone?”
“…”
“I heard Akelon took four or five people…”

Five turtle warriors were dispatched.
But only one returned.
What does this mean? I knew it, but I hoped it wasn’t Advent.

However, expectations always betray.

“All of them have been killed.”
“…”
“Stop being caught by Ty…”
“Shit.”

Kang-rim could not hide his displeasure at the fact that she had died.

“Cardian.”
“Yes.”

Advent’s call was answered by the captain, Cardian, wearing her ponytail hair.
Advent and Noh are in command of the ship as temporary managers of the flagship in place of Iris.
Advent gave Cardian instructions.

“Go to Fox Island at full speed.”

●●●

Meanwhile, at that time, Fox Island,

-Cooooo!

Being trampled by a huge black tiger.
Every time the tiger swings its front paws and whips its tail like a whip, all the trees and houses are blown away.
This monster shaking the heavens and the earth was killing everything that moved in front of it.

-Cooooo!

It blows away human soldiers throwing spears at it with its front paws.
Human soldiers who shoot arrows at them are blown away as well.
Countless soldiers were torn to pieces by the monster’s claws.
Unrecognizable lumps of blood were scattered all over the place.
The ground they were standing on became red ground, soaked with their blood.

It was a sight that could hardly be called a fight.
Massacre. It was just a one-sided massacre.
The soldiers who unilaterally pushed the prisoners now found themselves in the same situation.

No, you wouldn’t know

Because they don’t have reason.
Because I can’t even think of something.
Because it was modified to be that way.
There is only one thing in their head.

To obey. To sacrifice one’s life for one’s master, Grid.
To sacrifice one’s life to defeat an enemy.
For this purpose, it doesn’t matter how strong the opponent is.

Even if it costs a few, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, it will be defeated.
To topple them, even if countless corpses were piled up as a mountain, they would not stop.
Even if they are now driven to the brink of annihilation by monsters, they will not stop attacking.

I hope this sacrifice is not pointless,

-Cooooo!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a single scratch on the giant tiger.

-Kuwagagagagang!

The black tiger, Tai, did not even budge even when the magician’s unit was directly hit by a lightning bolt that poured all their magic power into it.

Atria, watching this spectacle, bit her lip.

“Shit. It doesn’t work at all.”

Atria, clad in bronze armor, was on the battlefield directing her men.
Normally, she would use the ships left for the defense of Fox Island to defeat Tai, but she couldn’t.

Not a single ship was destroyed by Ty without exception.

‘If he was the culprit, he shouldn’t have let go…’

Advent, which should have returned, did not return.
After touring the islands occupied by 〈 The Queens 〉 in order, they return to Fox Island.
After returning, she resumes her plan to restore the Kumiho tribe.
Atria predicted that Advent would return to Fox Island in three days at the latest.

I did, but the news broke.
If there was a problem, she would have sent a telegram right away, but not a single one came.
Atria, who thought something was strange, asked Iris, who was in the midst of a war of conquest, to find the whereabouts of Advent, and she herself sent two frigates to search for the missing Advent.

And the two frigates that went out were suddenly cut off.

Atria, who thought it was strange, sent another new frigate, but the frigate also lost news of her.

What happened?
To investigate her, Atria personally led her flagship,

I saw the wreckage of ships broken by the Thai floating in the sea.

‘I never imagined that he was the culprit…’

Who the hell attacked the ship? What kind of guy broke a ship made entirely of iron?
In this era, there would be no sailboat anywhere in the world that could compete head-on with iron ships.
Deciding that her rescue party could not be dispatched without her care until she found out the culprit, Atria concentrated on defending Fox Island.

Then there were no more ships breaking?

No, there was
Each night one ship sank.
Neither the cause of the sinking nor who the culprit was who provided the cause was not properly identified.

Fox Island, which lost all of her ships, became a prisoner in a prison called the sea.
Aiming at this time, the Taiga invaded Fox Island.

Most of the troops stationed on the island were annihilated by the Thai onslaught,

“Huhhhhh!”

Atria was trampled by Ty’s paws.
