Chapter 268 – 268. The Otherworld Summoner’s First Special Move (10)

– One –

“Foda oppa…”

Demosi looks back at Octopoda with anxious eyes.

He too was trembling with anxiety inside, but he was trying hard not to show it as much as possible.

“What is the intrusion route, how many intruders are there?”

Breaking into a cold sweat, he asks Demosh a question.

As if it had already been through one battle, there were torn and cut wounds all over its limbs and face.

As if the amount of blood was not small, his complexion was pale.

“There are two paths, and the enemies seem to be over thirty.”

“Oh… Maybe this…”

The faces of the two men darken.

They seemed to be thinking of the end.

– Calm down. Monohorn is going. Just in case, I’m going to honey with ‘that’, so don’t worry too much. You just have to hold out a little longer.

“Ah… Didn’t Monohorn say he lost his mind…?”

– I woke up after hearing that Mamang was dangerous. And,

The moment Margarita was about to say something more to the couple,

Jiyiying.

Something unpleasant waves ran through their bodies.

“This, this…!”

“A new, red-colored magic tool…!”

The pupils of Octopoda and Demosi tremble slightly.

Anxiety begins to well up inside them.

Demonstration happens quickly.

I squeezed through the gap in the tentacle shelter made by Octopoda and peeked out.

Over there!
There are enemies out there!

Dozens of imperial troops run towards them.

The face of the Imperial Army was stained with sadistic joy.

The shaman doesn’t care!
The power of the enemies is nothing to see!
Capture, don’t kill!
We have to catch them and soothe the souls of our comrades who died in a violent death!

Their purpose seemed clear.

There is no more time.

“Margarita.”

Demosi opens her mouth with a stiff face.

– Yes, Demosi sister.

“What were you trying to say?”

– … I was trying to say that I held out the negotiating hand to them so that even if you were caught by the imperial army, at least your life would be preserved. And even now, I’m doing my best to talk to the commanders of the Imperial Army. If I recklessly harm you, I will annihilate the Imperial Army right now.

“Hehe… As expected, Margarita is very reassuring.”

– Ah…

Margarita, as if sensing something in her gut, tried to dissuade her.

But Demosi shook her head and flatly refused.

She turns her head towards Octopoda.

“Brother Octopoda.”

“My mother-in-law…”

“No. It’s not like that. It’s not private time right now, is it?”

Her octopoda looks at her with her weeping face.

No.

“Demo City…”

Again.

Tears were already flowing from his eyes.

He also sensed something.

“If I don’t die, if I can only avoid the worst, I think I have no choice but to surrender now.”

“But,”

“Still, if we hesitate like this without doing anything, or if we rush to resist just the two of us, we may miss our only chance to survive. Brother agrees with me, right?”

“…”

Octopoda could not answer.

His reason agreed with her, but his sensibility was utterly opposed to hers.

“It could be dangerous,”

“Yes, I might get a little rough. Well, maybe even die?”

“Demo City…”

Sarak.
Swoop.

She hugged Octopoda.

Doo-kung, doo-kung, doo-kung, doo-kung.

With uncontrollable anxiety, his heart was beating wildly as if the brakes had failed.

“Until the Monohon arrives, we must somehow delay the time. I’ll resist moderately and then surrender, so you and Urmama run away.”

“I’d rather be”

She shook her head.

Swoop, Swoop.
Jjoong.

She strokes Octopoda’s hair and kisses his forehead.

“You know it’s impossible. Even with my strength and the strength of my tentacles, it’s impossible to run away with Urmama.”

“Ugh…”

“I haven’t been of much help so far, so I’ll try something this time.”

Eventually, Octopoda drops her head.

He reluctantly agreed to it.

Sararak.

Demosh approaches the fainting Urmama.

She was pale, and the corners of her mouth gleamed with blood.

“I’ll definitely, I’ll definitely bring you safely into Monohorn’s arms. No matter what I do…”

Jjoong.

Kiss her on the forehead too

Look back at Octopoda again.

“Even if things go wrong and I die, we will only be embraced by the goddess at the same time, so let’s not feel too unfair.”

“Say that,”

“Hehe. Of course, I’ll do my best not to die. But I can’t guarantee it, can I?”

She tried to put on a bright smile.

Then she raised her head and looked up at the sky.

“Margarita. I believe you.”

– That, um… Yes. Trust me, Democy.”

She smiles brightly

Lower your head.

Instantly harden the expression.

“As soon as I leave, take Maman and run away, brother. You know?”

“Yes… I understand, Demosh.”

Clap, clap.
Squeak.

She holds her two bolt-loaded crossbows, one in each of her hands, and crosses her two bolt-loaded barrels diagonally.

Flutter!
Sararak.

It deforms two tentacles, making them look like hoods and capes.

Thurreut.

It immediately activates Camouflage.

The tentacle cape and hood appear to have become transparent.

Serung, Serung.

Four daggers hang from the tips of the tentacles.

Sereung.
Saaak.

Apply your own blood to the tips of the four dagger blades.

Rumble.

Gather the flowing blood,

Sarak, evil.
Rumble.

Wet the tip of the bolt in the tradition.

“Be careful on your way, Demosi.”

“…”

Looking back at her Octopoda’s face, she smiles silently.

Jerk, jerk, jerk.

She leaves the shelter fully armed.

The back of her face was infinitely spleen.

– 2 –

“There! There is an enemy over there!”

Those who were called the death squad by the Imperial Army were especially worthy of being called elite among the Imperial Army.

Some even knew how to use weak sword auras, and they were mostly those who trained their bodies to the limit of human beings.

Therefore, they usually served for a long time in the Imperial Army, and most of them were those who achieved the rank of cadre or officer.

“There are three enemies in all! Relax!”

“Before the duration of the search magic tool ends, you must capture them all!”

Among the members of the death squad, ordinary soldiers were very rare, but in the meantime, the soldiers included in the death squad were all recruits with deep experience on the battlefield, so-called experienced recruits.

Since mercenaries or nobles lived as private soldiers and enlisted, the time they spent on the battlefield was often longer than that of regular officers.

They were true murder specialists.

“Ancient!”

“Leave it to me!”

The eyes of all those who belonged to the death squad were burning red.

If you capture an enemy directly, you are guaranteed 2 ranks per head.

A pouch full of gold coins can also be given.

As long as they win, they will be given a reward that will allow them to play and eat for the rest of their lives even if they are discharged.

When such a reward was set, all soldiers, officers, and even officers who were confident in fighting against people volunteered for the death squad.

“It’s a lump sum pension!”

“Get rich quick, it’s mine!”

“Get out of the way, idiots! Merit is also in order of jjambab!”

Tat tat tat!

Blinded by the reward, they run towards the tree where Octopoda and Urmama were.

Just then,

Push!
Push!

Two blowholes rang out.

“It’s a surprise!”

“Avoid!”

Shashak!

The Imperial Army’s death squad seeks cover and hides itself.

Those with no cover nearby lay flat on the ground.

“Kuh, kuhh…!”

“Damn it, kuck…!”

The bolt grazed the bodies of a private and a sergeant.

The private had long cuts on his face and the sergeant on his thigh.

Shiver.

Blood flows from their wounds.

“Hey!

The one with the highest rank, the captain, shouted at the two of them.

However, the two only trembled and could not move immediately.

“What, what is…?”

“Why are they like that?”

The members of the death squad are agitated.

They look at the two with anxious eyes.

Burrrr
Sigh.

The two of them twitched and bit the crab foam.

Their eyes roll

Hey hey hey
Shiver.

They are incontinent

However, they were still frozen in the posture they had at the moment the arrows grazed them.

“Damn it! Neurotoxin!”

“It’s an assassin! The assassin shot a poison arrow!”

It came from the ‘neurotoxin of the octopus’, a special ability that blossomed when Demosi and Octopoda’s overall affection level rose to the 6th level.

The couple was able to create tetrodotoxin and a catalyst capable of accelerating and amplifying its action in the body at any moment they desired.

The amount that could be produced at one time was not very large, but even a small amount was a strong neurotoxin that could reach a lethal dose, so that was enough.

It was safe to say that the catalyst secreted in the blood accelerated the action of tetrodotoxin, making it possible to produce the deadliest poison a living thing can secrete.

It guaranteed excellent performance both for self-defense and for attack, so it was more than enough to cover all the shortcomings of the couple’s special abilities, which were biased toward escape and defense.

“Hey! Don’t be idly by, find the location of the assassin with the search magic tool!”

The captain shouted loudly to the lieutenant in front.

The second lieutenant, who was momentarily dazed, hurriedly took out a magic tool.

When he looked at the display panel built into the magic tool, a plane coordinate system centered on him was displayed.

“The location of the assassin is,”

He opens his eyes wide.

“Hey, here,”

Because it was right next to him.

Squeak.
Snug.

The blade grazes the vicinity of his carotid artery.

“Cheuk…”

Push shot!
Rattling.

He convulses as he pours fountains of blood.

He, too, has become like a private soldier and a sergeant who have been hit by an arrow.

“Damn it! Run over!”

“Aaaaagh!”

Tat tat tat!

Soldiers and officers in the vicinity rush towards the place where the assassin appeared.

Serung, Serureung.
Squeak.

All of the members of the death squad who rushed in pulled their long swords from their waists.

“Damn it!”

Awesome love!
Chae Chae Chae Chae!

Dozens of longswords converge at one point.

“What, what?!”

“Oh, where are you!”

However, no assassin fell bleeding.

The assassin had already moved away.

“Seeking magic tools! Take the magic tools first!”

“Uh, where, this…!”

They are dismayed

The colored magic tool that fell on the floor has long since disappeared.

Probably disappeared with the assassin.

Push shot, push shot!
Pupuk!

Two bolts that flew from somewhere got stuck in the bodies of the two members of the imperial army.

“Keep it off…!”

“Aaaaagh!”

“Heuuuuu…!”

But there were three victims.

It was because the bolt brushed through the body of the other person before locking itself in the body of one person.

“Scatter!”

Shasha shak!
Tat tat tat!

It was a tragedy caused by their concentration.

“Over there! I saw it shoot under the tree over there!”

A lieutenant shouts.

He didn’t get involved in the grappling, but lay flat and surveyed his surroundings with a keen eye, pinpointing the exact moment the assassin fired the bolt.

“The assassin is using a cloak-type invisible magic tool! The moment of attack is an opportunity, seize it and run!”

“Yes!”

Everyone looks around sharply.

However, only one person did not participate in it.

“Damn it! You didn’t say anything like that…!”

A private grumbles while hiding behind a tree.

Whether it was a mercenary or a private, his experience in the field seemed to be quite considerable, and his face looked quite old, and even taking that into account, he seemed a bit old to have the rank of private.

“An assassin wearing an invisibility cloak, something like this is something I would say no to…!”

He grumbles and carefully distances himself from the battlefield.

Sabakin, Sabakin.

Step back slowly and back away.

When it was judged that it was far enough away from the battlefield,

Seruk.
Tat tat!

He quickly turns around and runs away.

Where he was headed was where the rope he had been riding down had been.

“Damn it, Heo Eok, are you afraid to die in a place like this?! To do this, Heo Eok, do you think I enlisted?”

That’s right, that’s okay.

He drags his feet, stopping in front of a long rope that runs along the natural barrier.

Fortunately, it did not appear that the second party was immediately deployed.

He sensed that this was his only chance.

“Hehe. We should hide properly and return to the unit at the right moment.”

Wow!

He spits on both of his hands and rubs his palms.

Tup.

Grasp the knot in the middle of the rope.

Catch the knots made about every 50 cm and go up.

One,

Tup.

Two,

Tup.

The moment you hold on to the third knot,

Hooked

“Huh…?”

He felt a tingling pain in his palm.

He releases his hand from under him in his third knot and looks closely at his palm.

“This, this…”

There was a small thorn stuck in his palm.

From the wounds with the thorns, I could feel my body getting stiffer.

It’s drowsy.

Shortness of breath

His eyes tremble relentlessly.

Flutter.

Hearing the sound above him, he raised his head and looked up blankly above him.

“P-Pants…?”

The last thing he saw in his life was women’s underwear with a lewd shape, visible through a fluttering skirt.

Hooked!

Needless to say, that one word became his will.

– 3 –

– Demosi, it’s dangerous. If you’ve dragged on this much time, stop stepping back now.

“It’s okay. I can do it too. And… We have to wait until Octopoda and Maman go to a safer place.”

– Ah…

Democy answered with a firm face.

She was indeed a strong woman.

“Where is Monohon coming from?”

– Now… If the monohorn came at its current rate, it would take less than three hours.

“Ah…”

Demoshi’s expression brightened.

It seemed like it could last for about three hours without difficulty.

Push shot, push shot!

“Kukkuk…!”

“Aaaaagh! What’s hiding!”

“There!”

She holds her crossbow, one in each of her hands, and fires her bolts.

Considering the weight and recoil of the crossbow, it was absurd for a woman with only academic studies to do such an act, but her tentacles made it possible.

Each time she lifted her crossbow and fired her bolts, her tentacles moved organically to assist her aim and dampen her recoil.

This is because the couple’s tentacles have weak intelligence due to the couple’s supernatural abilities that bloomed when they reached the third stage, that is, ‘creation of octopus tentacle ganglia’.

After the couple’s phase reached the sixth level, their tentacles were becoming closer to independent intelligences that obeyed the couple’s will thoroughly.

Sarak, Sarak, Sarak.
Da da da da da da da da da

Having created two new victims, she leaves her seat.

Ha, ha, ha

She runs in total stealth, then stops in one place.

To take a breath, take a break for a while.

“Did my brother hide well?”

Demosh asks Margarita a question.

She seemed quite confident, forgetting her fears and smiling brightly.

– Yes. Octopoda oppa is safe enough. He was often far away from his enemies, and he hid himself on top of a tall tree trunk so that they could not easily approach him. So now, ah!

Margarita is suddenly startled.

Demosi squeezes her tentacle hood tightly, crouching over her body.

“What’s the matter, Margarita?”

Demosi whispers softly.

– I’m in trouble! Wizards and shamans who have reached the top are stepping out!

“This…”

Demosi bites her lip.

The monohorn was still far from arriving, but a new variable has emerged.

– … Six, no, seven! Seven took flight! You just crossed the barrier!

“Are those who know how to use scavenger magic or similar spells included?”

– Yes, everyone… Ahhh… I found her sister. To the west, from where her older sister is to the west…

Demosi lifted her head with a hint of her.

She controls her tentacles to create a small gap in front of her eyes.

No one is visible

“It looks like everyone used invisible magic or stealth magic…”

Demosi bites his lip.

Anxiety seeps through her chest.

“Did the location of Octopoda brother and Maman be discovered?”

– Not yet, not yet. But it’s only a matter of time…

Food.

Demosi let out a cold laugh.

The corner of her right mouth lifts her sneakily.

“Then, it’s still fine.”

She has awakened as a true heroine who dominates the battlefield.
