Chapter 130 – How to Save the Race.
“To conclude, the operation is confirmed to be assassination.”
As soon as Tiaran and Inaba returned from scouting, they met with Anis’ group and talked.
“…?”
“Why are you drawing?”
“You need to explain why you came to that conclusion?!”
“Eh, if you pretend to do that, you have to pretend and understand.”
Lucia crossed her arms and shouted when no explanation came back no matter how long she waited, and he shook his head as if he couldn’t stop him.
“Am I weird?!”
“That’s right, Lucia won’t know unless you explain.”
“… Anise, did you understand?”
“Yeah, maybe…”
“You didn’t understand!”
“Mwaaa.”
In the end, he was satisfied with the sight of Lucia holding Anise’s shoulder and shaking her head.
“After all, newbies have to be teased once a day.”
“I’m not a toy?! Is there a disease that will kill me if you don’t make fun of me!?”
“Yes!”
“Don’t be so sure! Then you would have died a long time ago, right?!”
In fact, he felt regretful that he couldn’t make fun of Lucia because he was out scouting for a day.
“Hmm, it tastes like this as expected. I was bored because our newbies weren’t around.”
“Haaah, should I call this happy or tiring?”
Lucia touched her forehead and sighed as if she had a headache.
“Anyway, it’s work. Please take it a little more seriously.”
“Yeah, but Lucia’s reaction is funny.”
“That’s the same for me too.”
“… Would you two like to talk to me later?”
Eventually, Anis and Crusha also said such things, and Lucia smiled brightly and said such things, but the two of them could not bear to face her like that.
“I need to polish the holy sword.”
“I, too, need to check the equipment.”
“You better not make excuses? Do you think I don’t know that I already did everything I needed to do yesterday?”
That’s because Lucia was only smiling on her face, and the veins on her forehead were sprouting, making her look clearly angry. She said someone said that people who laugh when they’re angry are scarier? Therefore, the two sent a rescue request to Tiaran with their eyes, as if asking for help.
“Hmm, I’ll stop joking here and teach you why you need to assassinate.”
Soon, he went around the original village with Inaba and shared the information he had gained.
“First of all, the village’s guards are the slime-type monsters we defeated on the first day.”
“As expected, there is a high-ranking demon.”
Since Anis is also a warrior, I immediately noticed that he knew information about the demons.
“But isn’t it too inefficient to have monsters stand as guards? That means…”
“You mean there aren’t that many demons?”
Lucia and Krusha also quickly noticed something was wrong and came to a conclusion. In the end, monsters are closer to weapons with little self-consciousness.
‘I guess the monster I saw in Sorrent left a deep impression.’
The monster created based on Cornell was a monster strong enough to be ranked high in the eyes of Gyeongheon, who had fought against demons.
‘Even taking that into account, your judgment is not bad.’
No matter how talented you are, losing your life in an instant due to a wrong decision is not unusual, so it was not a bad thing.
“Could it be that all those monsters were of the same form?”
“Oh, did you notice?”
Then, when Anis asked a question, she looked at him with a stern face.
“Isn’t it because it’s easier to mass-produce the same type?”
Crusha didn’t seem to notice anything strange yet.
“Wait a minute. Even if mass production is possible, what about the materials?”
Lucia’s face hardened as if she remembered that similar monsters were made from water spirits.
“Huh…? That’s for sure.”
Crusha’s eyes soon landed on the essence of the spirit that was left over as a trophy after defeating the monster yesterday.
“It means that not all water spirits followed the demon’s orders.”
Therefore, there was a high possibility that he was converted into a monster, either for punishment or elimination.
“There are a total of three demons, and they are currently using the chief’s residence as their hideout.”
Knowing that fact, they focus on his story with a very serious attitude. Even though the water spirits were notorious in many ways, they were beings that could not necessarily be hated.
“What are the types of demons?”
“For each succubus, there is one Lillim and one imp.”
“One high-ranking demon and two low-ranking demons? It’s not strange that they have subordinates, but why did they manipulate the water spirit to target the rabbit tribe?”
“That’s the situation with demons.”
Finding out the circumstances of the demons is not easy. In this case, even more so because assassination was the route of action.
“What we have to do is slit the demons’ heads as quickly as possible.”
“Huh, wait a minute. Then what are the monsters going to do?”
If there is no order from a high-ranking demon, the monsters destroy the surroundings indiscriminately as if they were instinctive, perhaps because they were created as weapons. Even if the assassination is successful, the moment the demon’s neck is cut, the demons will run wild and the village will be destroyed in an instant.
“In that sense, we need to divide up the number of people.”
The basic plan is for Lucia, Crusha, and Inaba to work together to lure the demons from outside the village, and Tiaran and Anis to cut off the demons’ heads as a group.
“Us?! How…”
“If you select only the monsters and attack them, they will automatically come after you.”
With Lucia’s detection ability and [Raudo Fulgor]’S precision, it will be possible to accurately hit only monsters.
“Then what do the water spirits do?”
Crusha wondered what to do if not only monsters but also water spirits appeared.
“Did I tell you to fight? All you have to do is run away as soon as you let go.”
With Lucia’s running speed and stamina, she will definitely be caught, but if Crusha and Inaba run away with them, she will not be caught.
“Isn’t it still difficult? The water spirits will rush in with you.”
“It will be resolved if I succeed in slitting the succubus’ head.”
“Ah! I heard that monsters run rampant without orders from high-ranking demons, right?”
In that case, when the water spirits come out with the monsters, they shake hands.
“Monsters don’t care about allies, so they target the water spirit closest to them first.”
In that case, you can also aim for the Donggwijin of monsters and water spirits.
“But what should I do if the rabbit men come out together?”
In any case, they were in a position to save the rabbit people, so it would be difficult if they were manipulated and mixed in with the group.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Tiaran spoke and looked at Inaba, who nodded her head.
“I took a quick look, but they weren’t in any condition to fight. Poof.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Wow. From the looks of it, I’ve been copulating with water spirits and demons every day. Wow.”
“Oh, really?”
Sex is an act that requires more energy than you might think. Therefore, replenishing energy is essential, but whether it is a succubus or a water spirit, there is no way they would have let them hunt.
“Instead, they found food for themselves, fed it to them, and made them focus only on mating.”
Since the water spirit’s tastes are his own, he would have wanted a smooth body like that of a young boy rather than a muscular body, so it is highly likely that he was created through lack of exercise.
“It seems to me that the muscles have been melting for a long time.”
If muscles are not used for a long time, they tend to shrink to save energy. Their bodies, which had no need to move except for mating, made it difficult to regard them as warriors in the past.
“It was no different from livestock. Wow.”
“Well, is it that much?”
Inaba spoke with an expression that had no intention of hiding his contempt, so much so that Anis looked at him with a shocked expression.
“So when does the operation start?”
“I have to go right now.”
“Right now?”
“I don’t have to prepare separately?”
Lucia was embarrassed, but she couldn’t help it.
“I already defeated the monster yesterday. If it doesn’t come back after a day, there’s a high possibility that I’ll think it’s strange.”
Objectively, it was difficult for the current rabbit beastmen to even defeat such a monster.
“Ugh, that was the problem.”
“Don’t blame yourself too much. It was an unavoidable situation, right?”
Lucia seemed to be blaming herself, but she couldn’t appease the monster and send it back, and she had no choice but to save the rabbit people.
“Because there is no time. Get ready right away.”
“Yes.”
“I understand.”
“Let’s go quickly!”
“I’ll guide you to the village. Boom!”
They headed back to the village without stopping.
“Heh, heh!”
“Aang♡”
“… How can I say it? It really feels like I’m seeing the animal kingdom.”
Even though it was a deserted night, Lucia frowned when she spotted a water spirit wandering around in the middle of her street with a rabbit man shaking his waist.
“That guy seems to like outdoor play.”
“I didn’t want to know! That’s the truth!”
“Zzz, so you’re still a rookie.”
“What does this have to do with that!?”
There was a brief disturbance, but no one was caught.
“Anyway, the operation itself is simple. As long as you get the timing right, there won’t be any problems.”
In fact, the process itself was extremely simple, not even a strategy. However, it was just an operation where the capabilities and abilities of each individual, including him, were more important.
“I know. I just have to attack the monster the moment Tiaran and Anis enter the chief’s house, right?”
In particular, Lucia’s ability and judgment were most important. Because there was no means for them to communicate or send or receive signals.
It was necessary for her to use her search to check the moment when Tiaran and Anis entered the chieftain’s house where the demons were, and to attack and lure the demons at the exact timing.
The reason this was possible was in part because Lucia’s search skills were far superior to those of high-ranking Macasia.
“After attacking, immediately hop on the Crusha and run away as Inaba leads.”
“Ugh, don’t I feel like a vehicle for some reason?”
“Run! Gold Crusha!”
“Don’t treat people like such strange words!”
“Pugh!”
“Lucia, don’t laugh!”
