Chapter 32 – Dispatch

#032.

─Kyaaaaagh!

“Hugers!”
“It’s an assault!”

As soon as we heard the screams, we got up quickly, grabbed our swords, and ran outside.

Then I could see puppies running around on all fours.

“I’ll go first! Be careful!”

No matter how much Hughus is a subjugation to cultivate my practicality, he quickly ran out alone as if he could not turn away from the villagers.

Shooting 10 to 20 meters per step seemed as fast as a train.

“It’s fucking fast..”

I watched him quietly, saw Knoll running into the next door, and kicked the ground right there.

Parbabat-

Then the pile of dirt bounced back and shot straight ahead with great force.

Love Liquid-

The sound of the air cracking so fast hit my ears.

When he entered the house, he was standing on his cock, grabbing the hair of the woman in the playhouse.

‘Half-hair!’

At the sight I didn’t want to see, I immediately threw out a nice island and cut the guy in half from the clavicle to the cock.

“Kwaaaaa

Then, the woman covered in blood trembled with a fierce scream.

“I’m fine now, so calm down and follow me. We need to move to a safe place.”
“Yes yes! Thank you lily!”

The woman immediately joined behind me and came out as it was.

“Keep following me. Those guys will figure it out.”
“Yes!”

That’s how I led the woman and immediately ran to the guy who was about to attack the man.

“Suck!”

Fain!

This time, when he used coercion to swing his sword, he didn’t even make direct contact, but the gnoll was caught in the sword wind and bounced back.

“Kuuuong!”

The guy who rolled on the floor and cried out quickly approached me before he even got up and cut off his head.

Chow— Push shot!

Red blood gushed out immediately from the severed head.

I backed away and avoided it, then headed straight for the people.

“Hey. Here you are. Because I have to go fast.”
“Yes? Ha, but…!”

The woman cried at my words and tried to cling to them.

So, after resolutely separating them, he pointed to the inside of the house.

“Go inside and block the door. It will be enough.”
“Yes..”

Since there are men, they should be able to carry heavy objects.

He immediately turned his back on them and headed in the direction from which the screams were heard.

Then I turned on the status window and saw Karma.

‘It has increased!’

Karma increased by 4 compared to before.

Since you killed two, it means that each one increases by two.

‘Is it increasing a lot?’

In this state, catching 10,000 birds would add 20,000 karma.

Of course, I may give less as I go on, but for now, it’s very good.

‘Shall we try Karma Nogada!’

It’s been a long time since I’ve come out, so if you don’t want to waste this time, it’s better to kill as many people as possible.

As I went further, I saw two bastards mutilating the corpse.

“Huh!”

After approaching quickly, I used the running water to shed his claws, then swung my sword while turning around and blew the heads of both of them at the same time.

‘It went up 4 again!’

After checking the karma, I moved the corpse to one place and started hunting the gnolls again.

“Ka-gang!”
“Whoa.. Is it over?”

When the thirteenth one was finished off, no more screams could be heard.

After looking around for a while, I went back to the village chief’s house and saw the villagers gathered.

“Chief. Haven’t you seen Hughers?”
“That, the knight said he was going to get rid of the remnants and left!”
“Is it so?”

I didn’t have anything to say, so I brushed off the blood on my sword and sat down in one place.

Then the girl from the example came over and handed her a handkerchief.

“Wipe your sweat..”
“Thank you.”
“My name is Marie..”
“I am Rai.”

After receiving her handkerchief and wiping off her sweat, Marie sat down quietly next to me and stared at me.

So she pretended not to notice, wiped off the sweat and handed her a handkerchief.

“Well written.”

As soon as I was about to stand up to quickly accumulate karma, I heard Hughus’ voice.

“It’s okay. All the remnants have been subdued.”
“I’m here? Did it take a while?”
“They ran away in all directions and it took me a while. Bocchan suffered too.”

The raid was successfully blocked, and we entered the room.

When I tried to clean up after myself, the village chiefs left it to them.

‘It was annoying, but it turned out well.’

At the same time, my vision was consumed by the darkness.

***

“Then let’s go.”
“Okay.”

When I woke up in the morning, the rough tidying up was over.

There was no point in staying any longer, so we went straight to the carriage after breakfast.

Just as I was about to climb up, I heard a faint voice from behind.

“Hey, wait!”

I looked behind me and saw Marie, the village chief’s granddaughter.

“What’s the matter?”
“That… Be safe.”
“Thank you.”

After expressing gratitude for Marie’s concern, he got on the carriage.

“Hey!”

The wagon arrived with the cries of Hughes, and we left the village.

Then Hughes said jokingly.

“You’re very popular, Bocchan.”
“Yeah.. I didn’t expect it to be this popular.”

In my eyes, he’s just a moderately cute face, but he’s much more handsome than I thought.

‘No.. Are you sure you’ve become handsome these days?’

I don’t have time to look in the mirror except when I’m washing, but at that time I thought I was just a shower buff.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

‘Is it because of mana?’

I heard it in passing while learning from Nia, but it is said that wizards and swordsmen are better looking than ordinary people.

It seems that the more mana, the stronger the vitality.

Then, when I looked at the window, I sighed.

“Eh~”
“Why are you doing that again?”
“I think it will take a long time. Why.”

Looking at the endless plains, I have no idea when it will end.

“Haha! Don’t be too disappointed. It won’t take that long.”

The problem is that the time that doesn’t take that long is a month.

‘Monster..’

There are two main reasons why gnolls kidnap people.

Securing labor and breeding.

Any living being inevitably becomes defenseless when it becomes pregnant.

To reduce it, humans are captured and used for breeding purposes.

“Hugers. Why do they live in a place like this?”
“There must be personal circumstances. Most likely they are slash-and-burn farmers or criminals who have fled from the territory. That’s why His Excellency, the Duke, doesn’t bother.”
“Is it..”

I honestly had no idea.

My job is to deal with them as soon as possible and return to the mansion.

So we headed towards the place people marked on the map.

***

“Young master. The village side please!”
“Okay!”

Parbabat-

It’s been three weeks since I left the mansion.

During that time, he traveled to many villages and killed as many gnolls.

And, of course, that amount of karma accumulated, and his physical abilities increased.

I ran straight into the village, and Hughes had just put people in a wagon and chased the fleeing guys.

Now, three weeks later, they seem to have noticed a new predator and ran away as soon as we appeared.

However, it was impossible to escape from the Hughers.

Come on!

After jumping into them, Hughes was like a lion jumping into a rabbit hole.

Although the snow would have made it difficult to walk, the Hughers seemed unaffected by the terrain at all.

I watched it still and quickly ran to the guys who were still rampaging in the village.

“Kyaaaaa!!”

Looking in front of her, she saw a girl her age screaming as she saw them tearing at her clothes.

She jumped up and swung her sword.

Standing up and down—!

The sword was swung in a circle instead of a straight line, cutting off the heads of three people at once.

Pushout-

“Kyaaak!”

The girl squeezed her eyes shut as she let out a scream as her toenails flailed and fountains of her blood gushed out.

I immediately wrapped it around her waist and blew her body off to a safe place.

“Are you okay?”

Shaaaaa—

The wind blew and ripped off her robe, blowing her hair.

Then the girl went into a panic and she froze with a flush.

“Oh..!”
“I’m wearing this for now.”

The girl had her clothes ripped here and there, barely revealing her private parts.

So she took off her robe, wrapped it around her body, and turned around.

“Go.. Thank you..”
“These bastards!”

‘Karma Honey!’

Then she opened her status window, just in case, and realized that her predictions were correct.

‘As expected, the more you catch it, the more karma it gives you..’

She just caught 3 but Karma only had 3 up.

What used to rise by 2 is now reduced to 1.

If things go on like this, I think I will have to catch stronger and more diverse monsters.

‘I’m getting stronger too, so it doesn’t matter…’

While I was thinking about that, the Gnolls completely surrounded me.

Come on!

And at the same time, it howled and rushed at it, brandishing its claws.

Shaak-

I simply tilted my head to avoid it, and the guy right behind me jabbed at me.

That..

Squeaky-

After gently catching it with the black side, I turned the trajectory and swung my claws in front of me, then inserted it into the chest of the guy who revealed the gap.

Fu-wook!

“Kaean!”
“Kak!?”

Of course, the guy who punched his chest screamed and collapsed, while the guy who stabbed his teammate flinched in embarrassment.

Then, aiming for that gap, he swung his sword right away and blew off his head at the same time.

“It’s still salty.”

It was so nice to be able to kill so easily and karma piled up so much that I could see it.

“Huh!”

Paaang!

As he pushed the sword away with force, the air exploded and created a strong shockwave.

Then the knolls hesitated and withdrew, and their feet tangled among themselves and fell.

Chow! Let’s go, let’s go!

As soon as he saw it, he immediately jumped out and neatly stepped on the steps and harvested their lives.

‘7, 8, 9, 10!’

When I cut ten of them to fit just right, I couldn’t see any more gnolls around me.

“I am going home. It’s safe here.”

I spoke to the girl who had been staring blankly at me until then, and she nodded and went into the house covering herself with a robe.

“Then let’s start in earnest.”

Seureup-

After taking in a deep breath, I turned the sword around in my grip and grabbed it right away, then jumped in the direction of the scream.

‘Two guys!’

Chew! Chow!

I ran and killed the two of them, and then went around the village and killed every foot I could see.

Repeat that until you can no longer hear the screams, then return to your original position.

“Is Hughes still there?”

While looking around her, she muttered, the door of a house opened and the girl from earlier appeared.

As if she had changed her clothes, she was wearing a nice one-piece dress.

“Hey, wipe your sweat with this.”
“Huh? Oh, thank you.”

‘As expected, is it a national rule to give out handkerchiefs here?’

In every village I visited, I received handkerchiefs from girls like this, unless it was a place that was devastated.

As I received the handkerchief and wiped my forehead, Hughes approached from a distance holding a gnoll.

“Ruler. Receive. Thank you.”
“Ah, ah..”

After returning the handkerchief to the girl, he ran to Hughes and pointed at her play.

“What is that guy?”
“I am a gnoll shaman. Unlike the others, he knew how to talk. He seems to be able to dig up information.”
“Okay? Great. Is there any quiet place?”

While talking with Hughus, an old man from one side approached leading the villagers.

“Thank you! I lived thanks to you. Grace is sure…”
“Hey, chief. Is there a suitable place here?”
“Ah yes! There is a building that was used as a warehouse. Let me guide you.”
“Thank you for the favor.”

Hughes and I immediately followed the village chief.

Kiik-

“This is it. That, if you need a place to stay…”
“I would be grateful if you could lend me a room. In return, I will give you food.”
“Oh my! Then thank you. Then I will be waiting for you at that place.”

Rattle!

As soon as the warehouse door closed, Hughes immediately threw the sorcerer to the ground.

“Caek!”
“Hey. Why are they suddenly raiding the village on such a massive scale?”

Attacks by gnolls were originally fairly common.

It’s just that it’s very rare, so I just left it alone.

But not now.

We visited a total of 7 villages in 3 weeks.

Not one of them had not been attacked by gnolls.

Of course, they didn’t sit still, but it was too much for people who had never fought in their lives to handle playing.

By the time we arrived, some areas had already been overrun, and others that we managed to block were in ruins because the damage was so great.

In some cases, entire villages were taken and enslaved to the gnolls.

The man died, and all the women were already pregnant with Gnoll’s offspring, and their minds were broken.

In the end, the women did what they wanted.

“Human… Ingaaan!”
“Tell me. Unless you want to get sick.”
“Aaaaan!!”

Shaman Gnoll continued to say the same thing in response to Hughus’ question.

Then Hughus took out a dagger from his bosom and immediately cut him down on the knee.

Quadduk!

“Keeeeek!”
“Tell me.”

Naturally, he screamed, and Hughes asked calmly.

I looked at it still and thought it would take some time, so I moved toward the door.

“Hugers. You are torturing I’ll be watching to see if the gnolls come again.”
“Then please. Young master.”

Hugus happily nodded and welcomed him, as if he was reluctant to show it to me.

So, with the scream behind me, I grabbed the doorknob and came out.

Kiik-

“I want to go back soon..”

He went outside and looked up at the overcast sky for a moment, then muttered Gon and started searching around the outskirts of the village.
