Chapter 52 – Episode 52- Advent on a Tiger Hunt

“I-Damn it…”

Failed.
After attracting the monster to the village, he tried to defeat Ty with an intensive attack.
All the ships to block the landing were lost, and there were few troops stationed on the island, so Atria decided that it was better to use a village with many obstacles as a battleground.

But it turned out to be a failure.
The spearmen, who set out to block the giant tiger, became amicably bloody lumps of meat.
The wizards who poured their firepower to stop him were chewed up by Ty without exception.
The tigers were all slaughtered in front of Thailand’s ignorant fighting power.

‘If at least the fleet was alive…’

Even if he couldn’t knock him down, he would have been able to keep him in check.
It wouldn’t have ended with such a one-sided massacre.

Those precious ships could not be used properly and were lost.
Atria, at her own painful blunder, was pathetic and unable to lift her head.

‘I’m sure I hid everything…’

Having lost three of her five frigates, Atria was gripped by anxiety.

She must not lose her remaining ships like this.
These wires are 〈 Wings of The Queens 〉. Having lost her wings, 〈 The Queens 〉 will face a major threat.
The reason she was able to overwhelm her enemies so far was thanks to the iron wires, what would happen if those iron wires were lost?
Those who hold grudges against the owner will see this as an opportunity and attack.

Of course, ships can be built.
Because the master has built a production facility in his hometown, which he made in a muddy field.

However, it is currently in a state of cessation of operation.

Because they are too immature to operate a large fleet.
If you put your mind to it, you can make a lot of ships, but there was a shortage of talented people to handle it.
Cardian and his officer cadets, whom the master brainwashed to use as his slaves, are not enough.

At least, if the master is lacking in talent, he might somehow be able to properly run a large fleet.
She also passed on the knowledge of naval warfare to the woman who was called her teacher.
Based on the knowledge she passed on, Grid ruthlessly trampled those who sought revenge against her.

But,

Considering the current state of the master, it was uneasy to entrust the general command of the fleet.
Because…

‘I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to deal with the fleet.’

Because I said so.

She said she never served in the Navy.
He served in the army, but he didn’t enlist with the goal of being an executive like you guys.
It was just that he was forced to join the army at the call of a rotten country.
For this reason, their knowledge of naval warfare is embarrassingly nil compared to Grid.
Entrusting the operation of the fleet to oneself like this is tantamount to entrusting a treasure trove to a thief.
Of course, I will study, but I said that it is difficult to meet your expectations right away.

For this reason, plans to expand the fleet had to be postponed.

Until the current master becomes a more capable human being than he is now.
He’s a temporary hold until he has more talent than he does now.
Until then, we must try not to lose the current fleet.

So they hid the remaining ships, but Atria lost all of her precious ships.

‘I don’t know where the ships are hidden, so how did you find out?’

She hid the ships in a place no one knows.
I didn’t put it in one place, just in case, but scattered it in several places.
That way, even if the worst happens, there will be a hole through which to escape.

All the ships that were hidden were sunk.
As if hunting, one ship was drowned every day.
By this tiger monster named Tyr in front of me.

Atria had guessed that the Beastman Alliance was playing tricks, but
Atria really didn’t know that Ty would come out on her own.

Atria couldn’t even imagine using a forbidden technique.

‘I thought I wouldn’t use it even if I was cornered…’

When Grid made a plan to conquer the Beast Man Alliance,
He took pictures of the Tigers and the Gumi Tigers as the subjects to be most wary of.

Because they have the technology to transform into monsters, the original form of their ancestors.
I don’t care about the other beastmen, but these two races must be thoroughly subdued.
Grid insisted.

The nine-tailed fox, which was one of the current vigilance targets, became the master’s slave, and the ghost that used the technology was also embraced by the master.
It was no longer a threat to the pirate fleet.

The only ones left were the tigers, but Atria saw that she wouldn’t be able to use them easily.
The cost of writing is to lose reason and return to a beast, but how can you write even if you are cornered?
She saw that no matter how reckless the head of the Tiger Clan, she would not commit a taboo with her reason as collateral.

That was such a foolish idea.

“Ugh…”

If you knew he was this kind of guy, you should advise him to be brainwashed completely.
Why not? If it had been, it wouldn’t have been such a miserable situation.
Atria regretted it terribly.

“Aaaaa…”

Her breastplate buckles. As she tightens, her muscles scream for help.
Her bones can’t take it any longer, she beeps.
Atria’s face grew pale as she was pressed to the point where she couldn’t breathe.

“Lord, Master…Sir, I’m sorry.”

I’m really sorry I couldn’t be with you.
The moment Atria, who thought that her own end was imminent, closed her eyes,

-Quaaaaang!

Something hit the tiger’s head.
The tiger staggered for an instant, and his front paws, which had been crushing Atria, also lifted slightly.

“Atria, are you alright?”

The moment she barely thought she could breathe, she was hugged by someone at Atria.
Upon learning who she really was, Atria let out a sigh of relief.

“Lord, Master…”

A black-haired man in an old military uniform.
It was Grid, the lord that Atria sincerely served.

●●●

“Take Atria to her lab. She’ll be safe there.”
“All right.”

The soldier under her command took a stunned Atria and left.

‘It will be safer that way now.’

She was told by a tortoise warrior.

Currently, there are no ships left on Fox Island.
So there is no way to escape outside.

Hearing those words, Kang-rim headed for Thalia’s laboratory as soon as he arrived at Fox Island.

‘That, Grid? Thank god. You’re alive.’

As expected, Talia and other nine-tailed foxes were gathered in the laboratory.
In the yard where monsters are rampaging right now and there is no ship to escape from, the only safe place to hide is the laboratory with an underground shelter.
I built it just in case, but if I hadn’t built it, something bigger might have happened.
Advent let out a sigh of relief at the fact that not only Talia, but also valuable resources were safe.

‘You’re protecting people here. ‘Cause I’m going to catch the Thai bastard.’

After calming Talia, who was trembling with anxiety, Advent headed straight to the battlefield.
Gang-rim, who went and rescued Atria, faced the tiger head-on, glaring at him with the intent to kill him.

‘I’ve already heard…’

Advent swallowed her saliva.

‘It’s no joke.’

Even though she’s just staring at herself, her hamstrings tingle.
Just by looking at his black fur, by seeing his black eyes, by seeing the black aura creeping up from her body, she felt like she would faint.
She became more menacing than the first time I saw her.

Advent could understand why Tai became a black tiger.

‘Eating 〈 black ore 〉. How did you get it?’

〈 black ore 〉.

Combining the letters black (black) with the word mad (mad), this word is the name of a rare drug found in 〈 Fox’s Grace 〉.

The reason for this name is simple.

If you eat it, it will turn black. When a character takes the drug, they receive an effect that temporarily increases their stats by more than 20 times.
Along with this, the character changes into another appearance.
The ancestors who built an ancient civilization changed to protect themselves.

That look is…

-Cooooo!

Tai lunges forward with his mouth open.
Kang-rim rolled to her side, and she quickly leaped forward.
She swung her hammer with all her might at the nape of Ty’s neck.

– Kaang!

The hammer that Ganglim swung bounced off as if it had hit a hard metal object.

“Oh, no!”

Kang-lim was taken aback for a moment, but she didn’t fall into confusion.
Screamed right away.

“Now, shoot!”

At the same time, the hidden archers drew their bowstrings in unison.
Fire at the target tiger monster.
Along with the sound of cutting through the wind, numerous fire arrows pierce Tai’s body.

-Cooooo!

Tai writhes in pain. Seeing this, Kang-rim made an expression that he had finally found her clue.

‘It’s as Atria said.’

Before she was transported, Atria let her know some things she found out on her own.

‘He seems to be vulnerable to fire. He didn’t budge from being struck by lightning, but it wasn’t fire.’

Weak against fire Reinforced with 〈 Black Ore 〉, all normal attacks are invulnerable, but fire-attribute attacks work.
Hearing this, Kang-rim ordered the archers to prepare fire arrows in advance, and he could see right in front of his eyes that the preparation was not in vain.

Kang-rim gave the following instructions.

“Wizard troops! Blow the fireball!”

Likewise, the hidden wizards all raised their wands and chanted incantations.
Numerous lumps of flame fall from the sky toward the monster all at once.

-Cooooo!

The place where the monster was was covered with fire. The monster covered in fire struggles in more pain. Seeing him being burned alive, Kang-rim put on a sad expression.

‘I’m sorry, Ty, but…’

I want to die here
It was a character that gave me affection in the game, and I want to use it as a mother rather than kill it, but I can’t help it.

Those who become monsters by using 〈 black ore 〉 will never come back.

In the game, in addition to improving stats, it turns a character who has taken drugs into a monster.
Since the effect is only for a short time, the character who became a monster will return to its original form,
In the story in the game, it is stated that those who become a monster by taking 〈 black ore 〉 will never return to their original form.

In other words, there is no way to save Tai who ate 〈 black ore 〉 anywhere in the world.

‘Even though he was annoying…’

Advent nodded to the wizard nearby.
The designated mage gave the hammer of advent an attribute.
The sledgehammer glowed red.

‘I’ll let you go in peace.’

With a bitter expression on her face, Kang-rim ran as fast as she could.
I slam the hammer into Ty’s head, who struggles in pain…

-Cooooo!

A roar that shook the heavens and earth spread throughout the village.

“Wow!”

With a fierce gust of wind, Gangrim went out behind her and fell.
Archers and wizards sat down, unable to withstand the howling of Tai.

“Keuuuuu…”

By sticking the hammer into the ground, Advent was able to stand up somehow.

However, all the soldiers he brought were incapacitated.
Kang-rim was the only one who could fight.

“Damn it, it’s better if you treat me calmly… Ugh?”

A heavy impact hit the side.
Advent flew away with a tremendous shockwave.
Advent could only be stopped after destroying some furniture and knocking down trees.

“Ugh, ta, ty this dog, bastard…”

Kang-rim staggers to his feet.
Her right side, which had been beaten by her tail, was stained with blood.
Her right arm was also numb.

It was a situation where he had to be transported to the rear right away, but Kang-rim couldn’t go.
He raised the hammer with his left hand, which was still alive, and glared at the monster in front.

-Kreurreureung

The monster also glared at Advent.
As if he had seen his enemy, his eyes were full of vigor.
Perhaps even though he lost his sanity, his vengeance against Grid still remains.

‘Come on, come. It’s Thai.’

I’ll send you your last finely.
Like a warrior facing a decisive battle, Kang-rim, determined, rushed at the monster.

It was then that a large mass of sparks suddenly landed on Tai’s back.

-Cooooo!

Tai, who used howling to shake off all the arrows and fire from his body, struggled again in pain from the sudden attack.

“What is this…”

Kang-rim, who saw this, was embarrassed.
Who the heck did it shoot? Which of the fallen wizards blew it?
However, the blown fireball is bigger than I imagined.

The moment I expressed my doubts, someone landed next to Kang-rim.

“They said you could go alone, but you’ve been treated badly, Master.”

One is Iris.
And,

“I did it by chance, as expected. Just take me. Why are you stubborn…”

Sua was hugged by Iris.

“Oh, no. Why are you guys here…”

Kang-lim put on a bewildered expression when the two people who were supposed to be on the flagship appeared.
