Chapter 402 – 402. Flowers Bloom Even at Graves (10)

– One –

Jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk.

A man walks with slow steps.

Choose the front and step forward honestly and simply.

But he didn’t look normal.

In the cold of early winter, wearing a jacket that barely escaped nakedness,

“Uh, uh…”

Jerk, jerk, jerk.
Jerk, jerk, wobble, jerk.

I was walking and staggering here and there.

And that’s not all.

The place he stepped on was a terrain like a deep, dark canyon.

If there is a difference from a general canyon, it is that the living plants constitute such terrain.

As he walks through such a dubious place, he doesn’t look anywhere around him.

“At that… Uh, uh uh uh…”

It was clear that a sane person would not have been able to take their eyes off such a foreign sight.

However, he seemed to be close to a madman or a handicapped person.

Since he was incapable of normal thinking, he only moved forward by following the commands he was instilled with, like his natural instinct.

Jeobuck, Jeobuck, Jeobuck, Chuck!

“Ohhh…?”

His foot gets caught in the root of a tree.

Whicheung, wheeeeeiik.

I can’t even get my balance right

Iron pudduck.

“That’s…”

He trips over and falls to the floor.

Neither quickly balances, nor succeeds in buffering with a fall before collapsing to the floor.

He slumped his face to the floor, and the shock he received as he fell shook his brain.

“Woo-wook, woo-wook…”

Tup, Tup.
Swoop.

Barely raise the upper body.

Swoop, Swoop.
Whack, Whack.

“Guuuuu…”

His face is sore and his head is dizzy, he shakes his head back and forth while holding his face.

After a while, I look around with blank eyes.

Look in the direction

In time, he correctly finds the direction he was advancing according to the instilled command.

“Ugh…!”

Swoop.
Stumble.
Tup, Tup.

Hard to get up

He almost collapsed again, but bizarrely maneuvered himself as if performing a stunt.

The goddess took pity on him, and her care seemed to bestow him with good fortune.

“Guuuuu…”

Jerk, jerk, jerk.

He takes another step

As if he had already fallen several times, his face and knees were a mess with bruises and abrasions.

It doesn’t stop though.

“Ah, ah…”

Parr.

His senses, at least pain and vision, were intact, judging by the fact that he was moving in the right direction even as he shuddered and groaned in pain.

But he continues to move on without taking care of himself, as if he had no other option than to get up and walk.

If Monohorn watched this scene, he would surely feel like a zombie.

Tub, Tub, Tudder, Tudder.
Profit, profit, that extreme.

“Guuu…”

I lead the body that has become a wreck.

I drag my feet, and I stumble.

It was the task given to him to just walk about 100m, but if he had been sane, he would have given up the act of walking long ago.

His will, worthy of praise, was nothing more than a fabricated compulsion.

To that extent, the road ahead of him was rugged, and it was a road that could only be described as atypical.

This is because the road was polished only with destruction, without any consideration for pedestrians.

Jerk, jerk, jerk.
Jeezy, support position.

How far did you walk?

By the time he reached the end of the road,

Tup, Tup, Tup.
Swoop.

“Kuh… Huh…?”

He was in complete confusion.

He is simply commanded to go forward along the given path.

But the road is blocked.

Still, he has no other options.

Just moving forward

Jerk, jerk, jerk.

I walk honestly toward a dead end.

Move forward

Finally,

Tuk, tok, thump.
Simplicity and honesty.

“Ah…”

His nose touches the wall.

As if toppling over, they bumped into each other quite hard, so his nose collapsed.

Rumble.

“Pooh, Pooh…”

Coffee is dripping.

Perhaps he is short of breath because of the bloody water, he continues to gasp and spits out bloody water.

“Profit…!”

Anger flashes on his face.

His reason had long since been blown away.

But in addition to the pain he feels in his nose, the reality of his inability to carry out the commands he was injected infuriates him.

Everything else had been crushed to the brink of idiots, but the right to rage seemed to still remain with him.

“Gyaaaaa!”

Thud!
Kwajik!

He punches his fist at the wall.

Another wound forms on the scarred fist.

“Gyauuuuu!”

Cooong!
Kwajijik!

Throw the opposite fist

The wall was slightly dented,

Kudeudeuk, thuduk!

“Cadet…”

His fists become limp like those of a mollusk.

Dyed purple

“Iiiiik…!”

Hard!

He goes to it

He feeds on suffering and nourishes his anger.

“Gyaaaaa!”

Puck, puck, puck, puck!
Kung, kook! Thump, thump!
Woojik, kkujik, kkujijik!

With all my energy, I hit the wall in succession with my fists.

He pours out all the resentment that doesn’t go his way.

Chuak, chow!
Zuzuz that is!

A bone in his hand could not be broken, protruding through the skin of his hand.

But he doesn’t stop.

If left as it was, he would punch until his fists were weathered and gone.

At some point, when he was in the middle of his self-tortured attack against the cliff,

Thud!
Charleureuk!

In a single punch that was swung bloody,

Shrrrr!
Shaaaaa.

“Uh uh…?”

The cliff begins to shake.

Anxiety creeps into his eyes.

His fisting stopped at some point.

Rumble!
Woojijik, kudeudeuk!
Shrew, shruck.

“That, that…”

It was like breathing out.

It wasn’t just an illusion.

It wasn’t even the madman’s paranoia.

The gorge in the crevice of the cliff narrows and widens repeatedly.

Even more, the range of volumetric changes produced by such vibrations becomes increasingly large.

“Whoa, whoa… Whoa… Whoa, whoa…”

Parrrr!
Rumbling!

He begins to feel fear.

No matter how deprived of reason he was, he couldn’t be bold in the face of a disaster of such an overwhelming scale.

It must be because the survival instinct unique to living things has not been castrated.

Rumble!
Deuk deuk, dedeude deuk!

A crack runs through the area.

Dump!

“Auuuuu…!”

He sits down in his seat, covers his head and cries.

However, his fists were badly clenched, so it seemed a long way from properly covering his head and face.

Also, in the face of a catastrophe of such a huge scale in the first place, it was unknown whether it would be possible to secure safety simply by covering the head with one’s hands.

No, I was skeptical.

Pajik, Pajik!
Boom, puffer pung!

A cliff bursts out.

Tittic, tititic!
Shaaaaa!
Excellent sorghum!

Sawdust scatters.

Starting with it,

Woojik, Woojijijik!
Aaaaagh!

“Uhhhhh!”

Everything in the area starts to explode.

Tree trunks, plant stems, twigs and leaves, everything explodes at once.

Qurrrr
Kurung, Kujijic!

Sharp fragments pour down.

From the point close to the cliff, everything in the area starts to be submerged in debris.

“Cow,”

Scold!
Wooddeuk, Quarre!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!

It wasn’t just plants that were buried and torn apart.

Even those who walked straightforwardly towards the end of the canyon are easily swept away by such violence.

The end it tells comes so quickly,

Quarrrr.
Sharrrr.

It fades away so quickly.

At the same time, a death-like silence dies down in the area.

Rather, the expression of silence accompanied by death was appropriate.

There was ambiguity in giving such a definition in that there was only one death that definitely led.

However, if the number of those who were swept away had been large, it would surely have been enough to be named a major disaster.

It was that cruel, and also relentless.

– 2 –

Boom, Kwak Kwak Kwak!
Pupperpuppung!

All over the cliffs burst out.

Come crashing down.

Sawdust spewed out of the cracks that Regal had made throughout the cliffs as the main force route and preliminary advance route.

Those who watched it from afar, no matter who they were, all had their faces turned white.

“The restoration has already stopped, but the independently operating traps themselves have been planted all over the cliff…”

“If I had advanced without knowing it, I’m sure I’d have been buried inside.”

“I don’t know who installed that, but he’s a real keut.”

“Who said no? I don’t even know how they got the trap to work until it reached that depth.”

“No, rather than that, it’s more creepy that he didn’t set anything up in the shallows so he wasn’t careful, and then came up with the idea to increase the damage by laying traps at the end. It’s clear that he’s only thinking of hitting us in the back of the head.”

“I agree.”

All the soldiers under Regal stick out their tongues.

In particular, the astonishment of the officers and other high-ranking agents was even greater.

Since almost all of the cliffs were destroyed and there was not much left on the other side, the idea of ​​destroying the remaining part as the main force advanced was at the moment.

If the leadership had accepted the agenda and advanced the main unit, it would have caused unbearably great damage.

Even the elite and high-class soldiers were swept away by that catastrophe, and the main unit might have been damaged beyond recovery.

Just to conjure the thought that such a fiasco might have occurred in a friendly war with their dear Emperor.

“Uh, uh…”

Parrrr!

The soldiers who watched the cliff burst out had to tremble all at once.

But,

“I’m glad I put useless things first.”

“Yes, yes!”

They dismissed the deaths of disused civilians as completely meaningless.

The gaze looking at those who were not related to them was so cruel that it is difficult to describe it in words.

“That’s right. Of course, it must be possible because Your Majesty is great and illustrious, and also because the Goddess protects Her Majesty and the Imperial family.”

“Who is it? If His Majesty had not seen through the enemy’s machinations and stopped our advance, we would have been crushed like those worms!”

“Then!”

Their conversation ends with Regal’s praise, as always.

It could have been an agenda raised by someone under Regal, but it didn’t matter.

Because even they were embraced by Regal, it was only natural that all credit flowed to Regal.

In a way, it was no different from blind flattery, but praising Regal was a daily routine for them.

Since there was no one who did not praise it, no one could find anything strange about it.

Boom, puffer pung!
Rurrrr!
Rumble!

At the end of a huge vibration that seemed to decorate the end, all the explosions died down.

“…”

“Please…”

Gulp, gulp.

Everyone watches the barrier in silence.

Amidst the tension, carefully examine whether the banquet of destruction has stopped.

How much time had passed for such blood drying?

[Ah. Notified from command center.]

“…!”

Luxardo’s voice erupted from the voice amplifying magic tool.

Voice amplification magic tools were installed throughout Regal’s camp, so it sounded as if several Luxardos were speaking at the same time.

[After the last explosion, the waste successfully climbed over the cliff. It’s judged safe, so let’s start marching with the scouting party! However, pay special attention to safety as the road surface is uneven due to the debris of the explosion and you have to move in a dispersed manner along a narrow path! Also, there may be traps left, so follow the guidance of the scouts and move carefully!]

As soon as his speech was over,

Aaaaa!
Hooray!
Long live the Emperor!
The Whisky family is great!

Cheers erupt from the mouths of all soldiers.

It must be because he realized that he had finally overcome this uneasy and frustrating barrier.

[From the prepared scouting party, advance along the route assigned to each unit!]

Whoops!
Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!

Soldiers advance.

Dust rises, and the ground begins to vibrate.

Their powerful steps seemed to create a huge echo comparable to an explosion from a cliff.

It was full.

Also, I was full of hope.

– 3 –

“Ada.”

At the calm and low call of the monohorn,

“Yes yes?!”

Startle!
Rocking, rocking!

Ada blushes in embarrassment.

It seemed that he was imagining something stern.

However, the gentlemanly monohorn does not pursue or inquire into it.

“What is the biggest mistake Regal has made right now?”

“Tea, misunderstanding…?”

Thanks to that, Ada was able to calm down quickly.

They all knew full well that the truth was more like blindfolded silence, but that fact didn’t matter anyway in their relationship.

They were just relying on each other and buying time for their comrades to safely settle down in the South.

“I-I don’t know…? Is it true that Monohorn is an amazing man…?”

“Haha! That could be a meaningful interpretation.”

Ada blushes again.

It seemed like a stupid answer even to herself.

“Don’t make fun of me… Chasing after Monohorn’s thoughts is difficult for someone with a normal brain like me…”

Squeak.
Pat, pat.
Rocking, rocking.

Monohorn Bangs Her Ass

She thrusts her butt into Mono Horn casually.

In accepting his touch, there was no hesitation or rejection.

“Ada is mediocre. Ada is extraordinarily intelligent. If you line people up in order of smartness, it’ll be much quicker to find them from the front? I guarantee you.”

“Oh, no…”

“No. Ada is so sweet and caring, she’s just not used to being clever or vicious like me. I’m still using my hair viciously, and Regal is still suffering from it.”

“Ahhh…”

Ada nods her head.

But she couldn’t understand that she was intelligent, and she couldn’t figure out what Regal was mistaken for.

“So… What is Regal misunderstanding? Can you tell me?”

“Are you curious?”

“Yes, yes… Monohorn is so mean.

Ada purses her lips as she grumbles.

But it’s not like I’m angry

Squeak.
Took.

Rest her head on Mono Horn’s chest.

Gently stroke his firm chest with your fingertips.

“What is it? What the hell is Regal misunderstanding.”

Seed profit.

Monohorn smiles with confidence.

“Regal must think that the traps I set are very passive.”

“Yes…?

“No, I’m sure. For Regal to think so, I always attacked enemies only when someone in Regal’s men touched the trigger. At least south of the cliff, thoroughly.”

Ada opens her eyes wide.

Swoop.

Raises his head and meets Monohorn’s eyes with hers.

Only then did I clearly understand what Monohorn was talking about.

“Ah…Then, the explosion that just occurred…?”

“Sure. I only activated the trap when I thoroughly touched the trigger.”

“Ah… So, the Monohorn can be activated at any time, even without a trigger, but you deliberately triggered it according to the rules of the trap? You’re going to be mistaken if you don’t?!”

Respect shines in her eyes.

Through a long-term and persistent psychological battle, Monohorn prepared another stepping stone to deal a major blow to Regal.

“Yes. Watch how Ada fucks Regal this time. She will be quite funny and exhilarating.”

“Yes!”

Slip.
Come on!

Ada expressed the magnitude of her anticipation by thrusting her tongue into the mouth of her mono horn.

Judging by the splendor of her tongue, it was evident that her anticipation was also quite passionate.
