Chapter 42 – 42. Summoner’s First Counterattack (5)

– One –

The leader disguised himself as a tracking team and intended to use six of his subordinates as scapegoats.

Apparently, they predicted death at the hands of Monohorn.

Even when they come together, they are no match.

That’s why I decided to give it to Monohorn as food.

‘You wicked bastard… !’

He intended to follow the halfway point of each group, waiting for Mono Horn to hunt down his men.

The moment Monohorn went hunting, he planned to move quickly by leaping from the top of the tree to other trees.

Before Monohorn escaped, he intended to approach and capture it as quickly as possible.

Poududeuk!

When Mono Horn grew the tree, he seemed to have anticipated that he would.

The lower part of every tree in the forest was overly compact, like an ebony tree.

However, if you go up a certain point, the wood quality is sparse and brittle, like an old tree that has rotted in a swamp.

Monohorn forced them all to crawl across the floor like puppies.

Monohorn waited for them while making all the terrain to their advantage.

The terrain itself, this floodwater, was already a great trap.

‘In the end, unfortunately, only the agents were blown away.’

The captain admitted his mistake and returned to the clearing to use his last resort.

And I was taking a moment to organize my thoughts and make plans for the future.

Then someone came up to him.

Dump.

“Haa. It’s going to hurt. Take it easy.”

“Result?”

The captain didn’t even open his eyes and asked the person who approached him briefly.

“Hehe. I think I was fooled. I must have been completely fooled.”

“What target did you run away from?”

“The kites are still bewildered. I’m sure.”

“That’s fortunate.”

The stiff strength in the captain’s shoulders relaxed a little.

“I’m not happy. I’m not feeling well right now.”

“What do you mean?”

Cao Zhang opened his narrow eyes and looked at the teeth in front of him.

But there is no concern in his eyes.

Only the feeling of rebuke comes out more or less.

“I mean, the effect on the mind is so great. If I drag it out for more time, I think I’ll be completely buried in the role play.”

“Wasn’t it a light brainwashing application?”

“Instability is a problem that has been pointed out over and over again. The shortest limit is one day, the longest is two days. If it goes beyond that, my ego disappears. It’s just my intuition. But you know how sharp I am. Ji.”

“Hmm.”

The captain’s expression becomes serious.

“What if I don’t come back?”

“It’s probably one of two things. Either my ego completely collapses due to the mental separation and I become an idiot, or I become an unattractive middle-class mercenary. If it’s the latter, the consciousness of a middle-class mercenary will perfectly settle in my body. Even You won’t remember anything about the history of the operation, or anything about Your Highness.”

“Damn it.”

“I mean. That’s why we must hurry. That’s the only way either of us can come back.”

The foreman also agreed.

“What are you going to do now? Everything went according to the scenario you planned. But the situation is the worst. The reports are completely different from the truth. If you can’t get things right this time, don’t even think about returning. Just bury your bones here. It’s worthless. The things you did don’t deserve to remain by Your Highness’ side.”

“Ah, I know. I admit it. Well. So, cut off your right arm with me and that one.”

“What…?”

The captain is rarely astonished.

“Are you insane?”

Food.

“Be prepared to bury your bones. You have to be broken more horribly. That way, you can join the target without feeling uncomfortable. If you’re so fine, won’t that guy who rolls his crotch well not notice?”

The captain had no choice but to affirm in silence.

It was because he was caught in the trap of the Monohorn and only suffered losses.

“그 새끼, 생각보다 대단해. 분명 여태 멍청한 척 위장한 거야. 그 새끼 마누라는 정박아 년이 맞는데, 걔는 절대 아니야. 이걸 너무 늦게 알았어.”

Until the leader departed, he remembered the owner of the house, who was concerned that he might be using excessive power.

Laughter came out.

The butler, Regal, and themselves all underestimated Monohorn.

It came back as a very painful mistake.

“Yesterday, just before you hit it, how did I have a poison and antidote, and I noticed the cubs only with evidence. , Because there was no way to stop it.”

In the end, the captain had no choice but to admit it.

Options other than making unconventional moves close to gambling have already disappeared.

“How are you going to stop the bleeding? If you collapse before you even touch it due to excessive bleeding, it’s a total turn of events.”

“It should be burned with fire. Make an appropriate gap so that the useless thing and the two of us can escape.”

“I get it.”

There was silence for a while.

In that silence, the captain’s hesitation played a significant role.

“Ha… Is there an agent who can use the Healing Spell on standby at the nearby base?”

“Yes. Advanced treatment is pending. If you return with the severed arm, you will be able to fully recover.”

“Then what’s there to hesitate about? Keep my arms safe. When you escape, don’t forget and throw them away. I don’t intend to live as a one-armed person for the rest of my life. Only when both arms are in good shape can I devote myself more to Your Highness until the day I die.” Uh?”

“Okay. Then we’ll do it right away.”

Sereung.
Whiik!

The captain’s double-edged ax split the air before he knew it.

Chaaaaagh!
Chin.

One right arm falls off.

“Khhhhh! It hurts so fucking much. Hey, fire!”

Jo Won, who has been watching the two of them, takes out a burning firewood stick from the bonfire.

“Sir, lose it at once!”

“Yes, yes.”

But I can’t bring myself to bring it.

Hesitate.

“Come here, you asshole!”

With a tired expression on his face, Jo Won hands over the firewood stick as if it were being snatched away.

Tooth.
Chiyiyi profit!

“Turn it off!”

Cho-won turns his head away, startled by the smell of burning meat.

“Rum!”

Another member of the team quickly handed over the strong spirits in the hip flask that he had brought for disinfection.

Hard!

Open the lid by biting it with your teeth and turning it.

You can hear the lid cracking.

Every inch.

Poisonous liquor drips down the amputated surface of the burnt arm.

Haha. This should be enough.”

She catches her breath for a moment and rolls her eyes.

A fallen tooth catches her eye.

“That too, cut off his right arm right now.”

“Yes!”

Members of the crew take an ax and walk away.

Soon, screams rang through the forest.

– 2 –

“…Aaaaa!”

Startle!

Monohorn, who had fallen asleep for a moment, wakes up to the vaguely heard scream.

‘Who is it? Is it Calvados? Or Martell? I don’t know because it’s far away. Was he executed?’

Tension rises sharply.

“Ugh, hero~”

Urmama burrows into his arms.

Monohorn comforts her.

“Haaaaa~ Hero, did something happen?”

Monohorn didn’t want to wake her up.

However, because he was so tense that his whole body was tense, Urmama woke up.

“No, no. I just heard screams in the distance.”

“Uuuuu… Will Calvados uncle and Martell unnie be all right?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know which of the two is the traitor, so what’s the point of worrying about their safety?”

“Yes…”

Urmama faints and leans into his arms.

As her soft yet warm body embraced her deeply, Mono Horn’s anxious heart calmed down.

“Let’s get up first. Whether we greet them or run away, we have to prepare.”

“Yes, warrior, but I am hungry.”

“Hey, these are the apples I picked yesterday. Let’s eat together and prepare them right away.”

“Yes~♬”

Mono Horn had kept the fact that she could produce food a thorough secret from the rest of her party.

There was nothing good to know, and I was afraid that rumors would spread.

He thought that those in power might get greedy and enslave them to produce food.

This is because there have been many history of wars related to food production during human history.

‘And fuck, that was a real godsend.’

If that fact had reached Regal’s ears, would he have dispatched just this amount of troops?

If someone like Regal, the duke of the empire, was given the weapon of infinite food, the ripple effect would not be comparable to that held by lower nobles or commoners.

He will even take hold of the empire’s economy.

So, now that the existence of the traitor was certain, Monohorn let out a sigh of relief several times.

Assasak.
Square.

“Wow~ Warrior, this is really refreshing!”

“Eat a lot, Maman!”

Mono Horn tidyed up her messy hair with her fingertips.

‘Even though it’s not as sweet as the mart apples you tasted at Hell Joseon, it’s organic, pesticide-free, healthy food.

Monohorn chewed and swallowed all the flesh of the fresh apple.

Urmama ate almost all of them.

“Damn, would you like another one?”

“No! It’s okay~ Now we have to get up and beat the bad guys!”

Food.

“Okay, let’s go get those bastards!”

“Yes~♬”

Side!

“Kyaaa! Morning kiss is so good~♬”

“Damn it!”

Mono Horn looks down at her with her deep eyes.

“Yes?”

“I’m going to beat them all up today and spend a burning night!”

Urmama’s face turns red.

“Ah, ah! Yes… I like it…♡”

Monohorn was sure that this one word was a very powerful motivator for her.

– 3 –

Two men and women were running dangerously through the woods.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok, hee-eok! Keu, keuheuk!”

“Martell… Just a little bit more, let’s do our best.”

It was Calvados and Martell who barely escaped from the bandits.

The speed at which they ran away was, in fact, not much different from creeping.

Both of them had a pale complexion, no different from that of a corpse.

Neither had a right arm.

Even Calvados had all four fingers of his left hand crushed except for the thumb.

Still, he was wearing clothes and shoes, so he was better off than Martel.

“Ah, okay, uhhhhh! Uhwehhh!”

Chew!
Charle.

Martell, who was breathing heavily, vomited gastric juices.

The already pale face turned bluish.

Black death gleamed beneath her eyes.

Calvados thought that her breath might soon stop.

Her condition was so miserable.

“Come on, stand up! You never know when they’ll come after you!”

“Keuheuk! Heo Eok, Heo Eok!”

Tuck, Tuck.

Leaning on Calvados’ left shoulder, Martell was constantly stumbling through the roadless forest.

She was completely naked.

No shoes, no underwear.

So, not only the skin on the sharp branches, but also the soles of her feet were covered in blood.

Her hair looked like it had been cut off with a dagger, like a child playing with it.

It was torn off in between, and it looked like a broom that had been eaten by mice.

Dump.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

It was because the bandits cut off her hair with a hot dagger as if playing a joke.

And they giggled that Martel’s hair was like a mop, and that it was perfect for a mop-like prostitute.

‘Dog bastards… ! By all means, by all means, survive and take revenge!’

Calvados puts her on her left shoulder and runs.

Tuck, Tuck, Tuck, Tuck.

However, Calvados is not very fast either.

Because he was already seriously injured.

But she is better than Martel, so she moves on without falling.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Martel…”

The winter wind brushes Martel over his shoulder, and she continues to shake her body.

She will feel even colder from the wind blowing her naked as she has already suffered significant blood loss.

Cold.

Her body is so cold

Semen mixed with blood and filth ran down her crotch.

Maybe there are pieces of flesh mixed in.

Calvados mumbles incessantly and apologizes for abandoning her and running off on her own.

Like a confession, he constantly apologizes.

“I, put me down…”

“No! If you stop now, you never know when you’ll catch up!”

“…Leave me, leave me…”

Her voice sounds as if it will cut off, as if it will continue.

Wadangtang!
Charrrr.

Even when Calvados saw the tree trunk, he couldn’t keep his balance properly because his arm was cut off.

He rolls on the floor with Martel.

“Keuheueueuk! Heo Eok, Heo Eok!”

“Haha.”

Lie down for a while and look up at the sky.

Dark.

It was already time for the sun to rise in the middle of the sky.

However, the sky is obscured by the lush leaves, making it dark.

It’s like their future.

There’s no answer.

“Keuheuk… Heheuk…”

He raised his left arm and covered his eyes.

Tears squeeze through his forearms and run down his face.

It’s sad.

I don’t know why it has to be like this.

I just want to die

Slurr, fluff.
Gurgling, fluffing.

Martell approaches him, dragging her cooling body with his one remaining arm.

Dump.

Haha. Calvados.”

As if she had put all her energy into moving that moment, she let out a rough breath and leaned her head against his chest.

“Don’t be sorry. I’m grateful enough to you. Cough.”

There was a deep resonance in her cough.

But her pulse is out.

Never, the condition is not light.

I want to take off my top, but he only has one finger left.

You can’t even take off your clothes with just this.

I don’t even have the energy to take off my clothes in this urgent situation.

She is tired too

No time to ask to undress.

You have to get up.

You have to run away.

But she’s tired.

“Calvados.”

“Why? Eup!”

Jjoooook.

Martel suddenly grabs his head with one free hand and kisses him hard.

Tongues intertwined with each other

Calvados was flustered, not knowing what to do with his eyes wide open.

But soon, with his one free hand, he strokes her cold back.

Close your eyes.

“Paha! Ha ha.”

“Haha.”

The two parted their lips and met their eyes.

She smacked her lips without saying anything, but I thought I knew what she was doing.

“Thank you. You did your best.

“Martell…”

“I lived without regrets on my own. Even if I died right now, I have no regrets. As a mercenary, I kept repeating every day that it wouldn’t be strange if I died at any time. It’s only today.”

“It’s black… But…”

Tears fill Calvados’ eyes again.

The death he wished for was not like this.

Martel laughs.

She gently stroked his head with her free hand.

“Don’t cry. Why are you crying? Are you crying because it’s unfair that your lips were forcibly stolen by a slut-like older woman?”

“No, no! Absolutely not! Just, just…”

Calvados couldn’t contain his emotions, so he poured out his unspeakable sorrowful emotions.

Martel put her ear to his chest and listened to his heartbeat.

Her silence calmed his jumbled emotions.

She put her ear directly to his heart, reading his feelings she was not in order.

When she realizes that she understands his heart, she settles into him as well.

“Martell. Let’s struggle. Even if I die when I die, I will struggle until the end.”

“Heh. That’s how Calvados is. Okay. Can you help me get up?”

Her faint smile is pale.

Calvados struggled to stand up, feeling his heart thump.

“It’s in the northwest. The remaining traces are faint, but there is the highest possibility that Jin and Mamang are there.”

“Your opinion as a guide?”

“Yes, leader.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

“Let’s go, struggle.”

“I get it.”

Limp, limp.

They walked, leaning on each other and staggering.

In the place where they passed, only light bloodstains were scattered and remained.
