Chapter 209 – Subjugation of the Cult of Love That Calls for a Storm (11)

Upon hearing the news of the attack, Elsie and I ran out without delay. The chief came out of the tent with us. He stopped us as he ran.

“I can’t make customers work.”

“No. We also want to find out what the hell is going on.”

The sentry said the elves were under attack. He wouldn’t have reported it if the elves were fighting among themselves because it was a civil war between the elves, and if it was a fight between elves and humans, he wouldn’t have intervened either. However, the fact that a sentry came in saying it was an attack meant that the elves were fighting something he didn’t know about. And, it also meant that something was slaughtering the elves one-sidedly.

“Please guide me quickly. Elsie. You are preparing for battle.”

Just in case, I had left Milla and James in the barracks. I unwrapped the holy sword I had prepared in case of an emergency. The blue blade of the sword radiated a sharp light. It hasn’t been used since the last trial, but the blade is still sharp. When Elsie saw my holy sword, she touched it with her finger as if she was curious.

“Priest. Did you use a sword? Miraculous.”

“Don’t touch me. Because it is really dangerous.”

I pulled the sword away from Elsie with a cold face. Some guy’s sword specialized in treachery, so it was ambiguous to use it with allies. Elsie replied with a slightly pouty face, probably thinking that my worries were old women.

“I know how dangerous swords can be.”

“Because this is a really dangerous sword.”

“There! I see it over there!”

Just as she was trying to appease Elsie, the chieftain pointed a finger far away and shouted. Me and Elsie looked at it at the same time. Both Elsie and the chief were taken aback by the scene that was taking place there. A one-sided massacre was being carried out in the place where the reed fields grew long at the boundary between the forest and the field.

The giant beast man grabbed the neck of the elf who was trying to escape into the forest and threw it to the ground. The elf couldn’t even resist and stretched out his limbs like a frog and coughed up his blood. The beastman who climbed on top of the fallen elf screamed and began tearing the elf to pieces.

“Aaaaa!”

“Ouch! Aww! Aaaaagh!”

A naked, desperate scream rang out. The chief seemed to freeze in amazement at the savagery he had witnessed before his eyes. Elsie also hardened her body at the appearance of a wild beast. The beast was not one. They were looking around in groups of three looking for their next prey.

“What? Where are those guys from?”

I asked the chief as I looked around. It’s faint, but besides those three beasts, I could feel the presence. The chief said, frowning.

“I do not know. I don’t know of any tribe that has such a large warrior. It looks like the Dogville tribe, but I’ve never heard of such a fearsome warrior.”

“What?”

I checked the status window.

“What the fuck.”

These bastards weren’t normal guys. It was something that could be inferred enough from the fact that he had his eyes closed and his muscles his were full like those who ate rice with steroids.

“Um… Where the hell did they come from?”

The chief murmured. I pointed at each of the beasts with the holy sword and said to Elsie.

“Elsie. Can you take on the one on the far left and hold on?”

“Suffice. Can I kill you?”

“No. Can’t kill I’ll take care of the rest and try to subdue it. Hold on as much as you can and take your time.”

“I get it.”

I grabbed Elsie’s hand as she was about to run away. When Elsie turned her head, I said.

“Elsie. Can’t you die? OK?”

Elsie grinned at my words and nodded his head.

“I don’t die. And, when this battle is over…”

“Ugh! Go quickly!”

Fuck. I almost got screwed. Elsie lowered his tail and ran with a sullen expression as I cut him off. I ran with the chieftain towards the two beastmen gathered separately.

“Uhhhhh!”

As we screamed, the beastmen turned their heads and, without even probing, threw out their claws and charged at us. As if hungry for the smell of blood, their upper bodies were covered in blood and their eyes were unfocused. The claws were already long enough to resemble daggers, and the mouth protruded greatly, taking on a shape similar to that of a werewolf.

“Aaaaang!”

With a howl, the beastman’s claws cut through the air. I narrowly avoided the claws and saw the priest’s clothes being ripped like rags. I swung the holy sword in one hand. The prisoner who tried to stop me by biting my holy sword had his head and his cut off along with his upper jaw.

“Wow!”

He managed to kill one beastman with a single sword, but the chief seemed to be out of his power to deal with the beastman. The beastman, who bit the chieftain’s shoulder tightly and shook it, raised his claws and began digging into the chieftain’s belly as if he were going to kill him right here. The chieftain rolled his eyes and screamed.

“Ugh! Uuuuu!”

“Chief!”

Elsie looked at me with a surprised face. I hurriedly called out to Elsie.

“Focus on me because I’m going!”

“Okay… Whoops!”

Elsie looked this way and answered, but was beaten by a beastman. Elsie, who rolled heavily on the floor, used her elasticity to hop and spread the distance. Soo-in lunged at her again, thrusting out her claws her.

In real time, I rushed at the beastman who was showing off the chief’s giblets. He threw the chieftain towards me as I charged. The chief who lost consciousness in one shot was thrown like a doll, and I delayed accepting him. Taking advantage of the gap in my vision toward the chieftain, the beastman’s claws flew towards me.

“You fucking bitch!”

It would have been unfortunate for Soo-in, but the difference in specs between me and him was significant. I grabbed the beast’s front leg with one hand and tossed it to the other side. The prisoner fell from his head on the floor and woke up with a dog dying sound.

“Kang! Kang! Kaheung!”

“Bitch bitch!”

“Queek!”

I stomped on the beastman’s neck, killed him, and then threw a heel at the chieftain. The chieftain gasped, and regained consciousness. He gasped for breath, looked around, and sighed as if relieved when he saw the bodies of the prisoners lying on the floor. Fortunately, my life seems to have been saved, so I got up from my seat.

Despite being hit by one, Elsie was leisurely playing with her hand her.

“Stay still. I’ll grab some of that and come back.”

I ran towards the prisoner Elsie was holding. The prisoner stuck out his tongue and gasped. I passed Elsie and threw his fist at the beastman’s belly.

Phut!

Hairs sprouted from the beastman’s back and fluttered. Black clots of blood gushed out from the body floating in the air. The wind instantly spread lightly around them, and after hovering in the sky for a while, the beast fluttered to the ground.

“Kheuk!”

I wiped my hands and looked around. Suin, who was subdued with one blow of his fist, is fortunately not dead yet. I said to Elsie while heeling the beast.

“Elsie. There is someone around. Find me and hold me. And sentry there!”

I called the sentry who had been stunned until the situation was over. He looked at me with a puzzled expression, then pointed at himself and said:

“Am I talking? Elf?”

I screamed in a fever.

“Yeah, you fucking bastard. Your chief is being searched for, what are you doing there?”

“Right! I have to take the chief with me!”

“Take them quickly, and tell them to send a few more villagers because we need to move the bodies here. I see?”

“I get it!”

After the sentry disappeared, I looked around. I stabbed the two prisoners who had already become corpses once again to confirm death, and cut off the tendons of the limbs of the beast who fell to the floor and struggled. Now this guy won’t be able to do anything he wants to do. As if to prove that, the beastman was not able to attack me, just fluttering like a mackerel on the floor. I turned the handkerchief over and looked around his body.

If the demon gave him power, he must have been holding a mark or some object in his hand his, so he had to find the traces. There were only muscles in the limbs that seemed to burst, and the abdominal muscles were hard enough that they wouldn’t go in even if you pressed them with your fingers. I turned him over again and checked his back.

“Five.”

“Priest! I caught a suspicious guy.”

Just in time, Elsie grabbed one of the people and dragged her along. He was a typically suspiciously dressed man. He was wearing a black hoodie, a strange tattoo on his arm, and a heart-shaped necklace. I checked the status window.

“Hey, fuck. Is this a giant?”

“Sah, live… !”

Kang!

I picked up the mace I had left on the floor and hit the priest on the head. The priest rolled his eyes and passed out. I threw him next to the beastman and said to Elsie.

“Elsie. Look at this here.”

“What.”

I showed Elsie what I had just found. A bright red magic circle was drawn on the back of the strengthened beastmen we caught. No, it was more appropriate to say that the flesh was dug out in the shape of a magic circle rather than drawn. Seeing the deep cut, Elsie shuddered.

“How could you do this…”

[Black magic circle: One of the devil’s magic paralyzes the target’s reason and strengthens the body.]

I explained while reading the status window above my head.

“It’s a dark magic circle used by demons. You got good evidence for this.”

This made it clear The beastmen who attacked the humans were not the beastmen of the plains. They were fake prisoners being manipulated by the Sarangkyo. Said Elsie.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Because we need prisoners.”

“I do not get what it means.”

The more they attack humans, the more often they retaliate against beastmen. By naturalizing beastmen attacked by humans and wanting revenge, you can make more beastman combat weapons. They attack humans again, and when humans retaliate against beastmen, they are again naturalized in the cult of love.

The purpose of Sarangyo was not the liberation of slaves. They were just those who needed stronger slaves. Villagers could be seen coming from afar. I picked up the sarang priest and the prisoner.

“Let’s go to town.”
