Chapter 152 – Tear the Chrysalis and Become a Butterfly (02)

In the past, three female thieves who had been living near the academy to avoid a large-scale punitive raid were once caught by academy students, were subjugated, and were imprisoned. Afterwards, they quietly farmed or hunted in the vicinity, or lived on a moderate toll fee to avoid being caught. There was.

Of course, there was the problem of ‘negotiating’ the skins obtained while hunting to their advantage, but even so, the bandits were living in a state where they were not at a level where they could receive requests for subjugation due to illegal activities like in the past.

They faithfully carry out the half-hearted command given by their master, ‘Live quietly and not cause trouble to others,’ and live normally among themselves while waiting for their master to come.

When a year had passed, their owners were finally found again.

A body covered in blood. My whole body was stained with burns and my fingers had melted.

Although his body was cold from losing too much blood, they treated him with the herbs they had, poured potions on him, and somehow saved the owner.

I had no choice but to return to my previous job due to lack of money, but it was something I had no choice but to do because I didn’t want my owner to die.

For a while, there were no guards to maintain public order due to the rebellion started by Duke Renellian, so the female thieves secretly stole medicine or brought food and served their master with utmost care.

However, the owner, who was in the shape of a human after being burned at first, began to strangely melt his skin, and before he knew it, his arms and legs his were curled up and his skin his was sticking together, turning him into a Pupa.

If someone had discovered this appearance, they would have felt strange and disgusted and could have killed them, but fortunately, the girls did not care what they looked like as long as it was their master.

Moreover, even the appearance of this pupa had a mysterious charm that strangely made the discomfort disappear and the mind feel at ease, so I continued to care for it.

Now, so much time has passed that I have forgotten what the owner I saw for a day or so looked like, and I take turns cleaning the owner who looks strange and applying medicine, but since he has changed like this, there is no need for medicine and he does not eat, so time just passes by. I just wiped away the dust every time.

“Ha, do I really have to do this in my own time?”

The person in charge today was William, the leader of this mountain village.

Since all the other subordinates had run away and only two remained, one of the subordinates had gone down to the village to do laundry and the other had gone to buy food, so he had no choice but to wash the towel himself and clean his master .

“Master, are you cool?”

Like other colleagues, William also spoke to his master while stroking the tattoo on his stomach that was now only a trace.

I don’t know if he hears the sound or not, but he was bored and sometimes wriggled while talking like this, so it was something he did for fun.

‘Weird. Why does it seem to be getting bigger?’

It certainly looked like a dying little boy at first, but in that state, no matter what he was fed, he couldn’t digest it properly, so he could only drink fruit juice into his mouth, and his body his was drying out and dying. Every day.

However, one day, it started to look like this and became unable to eat or drink even fruit juice. Strangely, even though it was not fed, it grew bigger and bigger, and now it has reached a size and weight that is quite uncomfortable to carry.

As she was rubbing her master using a clean cloth, she somehow felt at ease and felt satisfied with serving like this, and as she stroked her master, she thought that living in peace like this was not a bad thing.

“Captain! Captain!!”

“Oh my god, it’s a surprise!”

As William’s harsh swear words came out, she lifted her wet towel again and rubbed her master’s body hers hers.

“Why!”

“We’re in big trouble!” It’s a punitive force!”

At the mention of a punitive force, William cleared his throat.

“Punitive force?”

Since his subordinates were ordinary bandits, they had to fight for their lives even if they encountered a strong vigilante guarding the village, but in addition to his superhuman strength, William himself became stronger than his original ability because his large size, which was his original weakness, became smaller as he changed into the body of a female thief and his weaknesses disappeared. It was done.

To put it systematically, originally, when you join an ally, you lose growth compensation and become weaker, but now that you have finished enslaving and continued to live as a bandit, you have completed the ability level of the mid-boss that appears in the final battle. It was said that he was so strong that he couldn’t even do it.

“No, Captain, it’s really dangerous this time! Everyone’s eyes are red and they’re trying to kill us?”

“Ha, at least you can just knock down a few people in front and run away if things don’t work out. I’ll go out first and take care of my master… Huh?”

Kwasik!

William, who was about to step forward while pushing back his frightened subordinates, was able to spot a group of soldiers who had already chased after his subordinates.

‘What? Those guys… They smell strange?’

At first, they were simply soldiers who looked tired.

Since the soldiers had the mark of being from a ducal family, I wondered if the rebels had already advanced here, but anyway, for William, who had no interest in either the royal or ducal factions, it would end with the fact that the area around here had been taken over by the ducal faction.

However, the moment I made eye contact with them, all the veins burst and I felt an unpleasant sense of alienation from the tired-looking soldiers.

“Hey, you guys don’t know who I am? It’s William. William.”

“William.”

“Yes. It seems you don’t know because you are strangers, so who would want to fight each other to the death? Even without me, other bandits will take over this mountain lodge. We will also hide for a while, so you can stop…”

“Kill.”

Suddenly the spear flew in.

“Ugh!”

William blocked the attack by pulling out a large mace that did not suit his slim body, but the soldiers, who appeared to be only three, blocked the retreat route and began a siege with quick and accurate movements that did not match their equipment or behavior.

Although the number was the same, the two subordinates who had already lost their will to fight were of no help, and more than anything, they had to protect their master in addition to the subordinates, so William was forced into a fight that was completely disadvantageous.

‘What are these guys? Elite soldier…? No, there’s something eerily accurate about calling them elite, isn’t it?’

Moreover, the mace and the spear collided, and William’s wrists hurt even more as he swung the mace, as if he had hit an iron pillar.

Of course, the opponent was not unharmed and the spear pole was broken, but by taking out the auxiliary shortsword, he completed the siege in an instant and set fire to his own living things.

“Damn it, run away with the master!”

“Big, big, where are you going?”

“I’ll get your attention, somehow… Ugh!”

As the soldier armed with a shortsword rushed towards her, William swung his mace with a force that did not match the slender body of a female thief, widening the distance.

Whoa!

As if the soldier had nowhere to easily avoid, he was hit by a mace swung across his leather armor, and several of his ribs broke and blood poured out of his mouth. However, he quickly wiped the blood away with his sleeve and returned to the front line.

‘What? I’ve heard that there’s something strange about the Dukes, but this is just… On the level of not being human, right?’

No matter how elite he was, no matter how strong he was, if his ribs were broken, he had to at least show a pained expression, but that person was just wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and attacking him.

“This guy!”

When William swung his mace threateningly and made the approaching soldiers retreat, the soldier held the short sword deliberately lowered his posture and crawled into William’s arms his.

“Dude! Do I look that easy!”

Poop!

As soon as he came within the range of the mace, he grabbed the head of the mace with his leather-gloved hand and swung the handle in reverse. Even if the blow was less than being hit directly by the mace, the bridge of his nose would be broken and blood would squirt and he would fall backwards. It was done.

“Damn it! Take care of the master first!”

The subordinates hurriedly tried to take their master and move him away, but the two remaining soldiers threatened them with spears and blocked them from escaping through the emergency passage. Even though their legs were burning and their flesh was burning, they did not flee or move from the spot. I was guarding it.

‘Crazy guys! Did you drink the alchemists’ forbidden medicine?’

William’s hands became impatient, and he crushed the hand holding the shortsword with his mace and tried to rush at the other two soldiers, but the soldier wasted time holding William’s mace while spouting blood.

“Oh, don’t come!”

The two subordinates, who had the appearance of mass-produced female thieves, were shaking with fear as they were threatened with spears. Like William, they were not directly controlled by the illusion of enslavement, but were secondary subordinates as William’s subordinates, so they survived like William. It wasn’t enough to protect the master over instinct.

However, I am afraid of them, and I have listened to this master in my own way, and I cannot abandon my master because I think that William may beat me to death with a mace, so I am trembling.

“You damn things! You can’t believe you’re running away with it… Ugh!”

Gulp!

Blood spewed out from the mouth of the soldier who was holding on to William, and after a moment, his life expired.

But despite this, his arm was firmly holding William’s weapon, and William had no choice but to grit his teeth, throw away the mace, and deal with the other two while clutching the broken spear.

“You damn bastards!!”

It was that time.

[Don’t get excited and act calmly. Do not lift the broken spear, but retrieve the mace.]

An order was coming that she could not refuse.

William did not even doubt what he said, and he kicked the head of the soldier who was holding his mace. It took a while, but he retrieved the mace.

[Attack the left side first. His legs are burned and his movements are slow, so the right side won’t be easy to follow, so take down one side first. If it is 2:1, you are at a disadvantage, but if it is 1:1, you have the advantage.]

William, who was smart in his own way but did not think she was smart, or even if she was smart, could not reject this voice, so she immediately picked up her mace with both hands and placed it on her left her. He rushed at the soldier.

Whoa!

In an instant, the pole breaks and the bone shakes, aiming at the staggering soldier’s head. William seizes the opportunity and delivers a second blow, blowing off his head.

Wow!

“Ahh! Captain!!”

However, in the meantime, a soldier approaching from the right her, dragging his burned leg her her her, was throwing spears at her men her.

Phew!

The spear stuck into William’s thigh his, which he had found an opening while trying to knock down a soldier, and went straight through, sinking into the ground.

If a knight were to rush on horseback and throw a javelin, it would pierce a person’s body and become lodged in the ground. However, no matter how thin the spear is, if it is thrown from the same place, it can’t do this!

“Damn you!!”

I tried to remove my leg, but it wasn’t easy because my posture was awkward and the spear was stuck at an angle.

There is now only one soldier left. But before she could deal with that soldier, it seemed like the soldier would quickly throw himself and cut down her men.

Moreover, that soldier has strangely twisted eyes, and is only trying to target and cut down her master!

Wow!

In the end, a large sword wound appeared on the master’s elongated body, and a thick liquid that looked like the contents began to flow out.

It was a grotesque sight to come from a being who had been human only a short time ago, but William, who had been enslaved, saw his master his bleeding to death and a light came on in his eyes his his his.

‘In a place like this, master!’

Crack!

They will forcibly break the spear pole, pierce the spear through the thigh, and then attack and kill it.

When William was shaking his head and preparing to be defeated like that.

Oh my…!

Like an egg cracking, the master’s shell began to crack.

Just as the skin of a ripe fruit peels off on its own, the owner’s long and heavy skin peeled off, and what was revealed inside.

‘Huh?’

It was a silver-haired young man whose entire body was covered in mucus, with a chillingly cold expression.

William was mesmerized by the sight of the young man who resembled the young boy before his master turned into a chrysalis, but was much more alluring and had now grown to the point where he looked like a completely different person, even though the boy had only grown up in two years.

The young man opened his mouth.

“‘Hand over your weapons to me’.”

The master’s ‘voice’rang in her head

William passed his mace to the young man without question, and the young man took her mace and swung it with only one hand.

Whoa whoa!

The upper body of the charging soldier disappeared without a trace.

Rumbling…

While her minions she gulped at the sight of the dangerously attractive young man shaking off mucus from his naked body her her her, William watched the young man in fascination despite the blood gushing from his thighs her his her her.

It’s as if light surrounds him, a man who looks cold but is so fascinating that you can’t take your eyes off him.

The sight was so horrifyingly beautiful that he lost his mind, as if it had been given an enchanting spell, but William felt the tattoo on her lower abdomen vibrating her even more strongly.

“Thank you for your hard work. My slave number one.”

William.

The name he gave was Elementary Slave No. 1.

Two years of hardship, even the current bloody battle.

It was a compliment that was all rewarded at once.

“Captain? Great!”

“Bandage, bandage!”

Even as he collapsed due to tension and bleeding, William lost consciousness with a satisfied smile.

‘I protected my master…!’
