70. This side(12)
I quietly raised my hand and stopped the group. It was because of the faint yet heavy sound of the ground..
-That’s right!
A roar coming from ahead and a vibration passing under my feet..
The shaking was mild, so walking was not at all difficult. Normally, the tremor was at a level that would have made one think there was a mild earthquake somewhere..
“……what?”
However, due to the situation, even that small phenomenon raised the tension of the subordinates walking through the new town of the other side of the world..
“Uh, why did you just stop??”
When I glanced back at Iopiya, who was acting as a guide, I saw that he was still holding onto the bundle with his eyes tightly closed. Just by looking at the frightened shrunken shoulders and the alertly pricked ears, one could guess that they knew nothing about the rumbling in the ground just now..
“trunnion.”
At that time, the first to notice additional changes was none other than the bundle. The guy pointed to his nose and pretended to sniff..
“Well, the smell?”
“yes. It smells bad.…….”
As the frowning man was trying to describe what he felt, a strong wind blew in and blew a foul odor onto the group..
“Oh my - what is this??”
“Ugh, damn it.”
Steedman, Tilloria and others immediately frowned and cursed..
A foul smell that reminded me of rotten fish or compost, mixed with a thick rust-like smell, made me feel nauseous. It was a stench that was on a different level from the smells commonly smelled in nature..
“……Whoop, whoop.”
Ellen, who had a weak stomach, immediately started gagging and quickly covered her nose and mouth with her sleeve. Next, he reached around his waist and took out a birch wand..
“stop. I told you magic is prohibited..”
“……Ooh, uhuhmm uhhh.”
“If you feel like you're going to die, don't act too harshly and just hold on..”
Ellen, faced with firm dissuasion, glared at me with eyes that looked like she was about to cry and retrieved the wand..
“Uh, uh, I'm not the only one who can feel this smell, right? Everyone is in charge.?”
“huh. Everyone is on the verge of fainting.”
Even though Iopiya was relying on Mungchi for almost half of her body weight, she was constantly staggering..
That's right, he had cast a spell of 'assimilation' on an object whose identity was unknown - a soul with a strong presence..
Assimilation magic is basically a method of sharing the senses of the caster and the caster. It was also a technique that could only be successful if used directly with the hand or from a relatively close range..
But now, Iopiya has cast a spell on a target whose identity is unknown, let alone contacted. Her spirit can be felt everywhere in this world..
“……You're okay, right??”
“Oh, me? Yes, of course. are you okay. For now.”
To be honest, I'm a little anxious, but I can't help it..
“It looks like there's something up ahead? Nothing feels different?”
“Well, I don’t have one… … . It's always the same. The soul is looking here from over there.”
“From the direction where this stench blows?”
“Uh, is the smell coming from over there too? I'm a little confused…….”
At a time when Iopiya was speechless, showing extreme confusion, a sign was heard from the direction in which the group was traveling. This time, I and Mungchi turned our heads almost at the same time..
Tap, tap, tap.-
The sound of hoofs, which somehow feels light, and the dull sound mixed in between them..
“……Ready for battle.”
While giving a command quietly, he adjusted his grip on the one-handed sword that was slung over his shoulder..
sreung.
It was my favorite sword, ‘Saint’s Destruction,’ which my subordinates had secretly brought in and stored in the rabbit hole. The string engraved in the center of the sword body was stained blacker than usual, as if it had absorbed the surrounding darkness..
Seeing me lowering my sword, my men immediately disengaged their mobile formation and dispersed into battle formation..
The place the group was passing by happened to be a crossroads where carriage roads crossed each other. It was quite spacious, considering it was an intersection in the middle of a new city, but the width of the road was only about 5 meters. In order to fight, even the surrounding buildings had to be utilized..
Cole and Mittelman went straight into the buildings on either side, and Tiloria used the 'crown of wings' to jump high and climb onto the roof..
“You two step aside for a moment..”
Since the group had disappeared before we knew it, it was Cal Ain's job to guide Ellen and Iopiya. When the two hid in an inn building, he came straight back here and stood shoulder to shoulder with Steedman..
“Tsk, are you in shape today? It's so sad.”
Steedman grunted and greeted Cal Ain. Before Kal-Ain could answer, something savagely howled beyond the crossroads..
Wow-
The distance to the guy who let out that sharp roar - judging by my senses - was only about 30 or 40 meters at most. However, due to the dim lighting unique to the other world, all that could be seen from such a close distance was the procrastination in the dark..
Coo goong, boom!
“……oh.”
Every time a large figure reminiscent of an elephant took a step, the flagstones on the road were smashed. My eyes widened at that powerful appearance, and Steedman took a deep breath..
“……Lord, that-”
He was almost 5 meters tall, and his arms were long enough for his claw-like nails to touch the ground. Abnormally short legs supporting a fat torso. A long torn mouth and sharp teeth filling it. And, the disgusting stench I felt right away..
“Is this really a troll??”
“Uh, first of all, it's a troll.-”
The troll that appeared at the intersection was not the ordinary type found in dense forests or deep caves..
The guy was covered in rusty iron plates all over his body. At first glance, it looked like it was wearing thick armor, but upon closer inspection, it looked like it had been fixed with iron nails driven deep into the leather. The small, shiny eyes among the red rusty metal contained a murderous intent and madness that could not be compared to that of any other troll..
“Wow, fuck, what the hell is that-”
Ku-wak!
Before Steedman's tired voice could finish, the 'Steel Troll' found us and pounced, showing off his quick movements unbecoming of a man the size of a house..
Almost simultaneously, Cole and Mittelman, who occupied the three-story buildings on both sides of the street, fired arrows. Two long guns with heavy tips, each as long as the forearm, flew toward the face, and a white, blinking bone arrow aimed at the thick neck..
Kaga River!
Sparks flew out with a sharp roar. Cole's composite archery and Mittelman's crossbow pierced the iron plate, but only the tips of the arrowheads penetrated the leather..
The steel troll did not slow down its momentum at all, and without hesitation, I rushed towards the ground. Even though I wasn't wearing the magic boots 'Aelophos', the huge red iron plate filled my field of vision literally in an instant..
Hung!
A strong wind licking the back of my neck. Nails as sharp and long as a long sword split the air above my head..
With a shiver of pleasure running up my spine, I swung the sword with all my might for the first time in quite a while..
“Heh, town.”
Tsk tsk-
The saint's destruction drew a pitch black trail. The long blade passed deeply through a thick leg covered in rusty iron plates..
Gauak!
The steel troll let out a hideous scream and jumped back, then hit its buttocks, black blood pouring from its legs..
Boom!
At that time, Cole and Mittelman's arrows poured into the intersection behind the fallen steel troll. Suddenly, I remembered that among the signs I had sensed earlier, there were several sounds of hoofs mixed in..
That's it-!
Heads with horns came pouring out through the sticky darkness unique to the underworld. They were the 'Warriors of Ushtu', members of the evil god I had encountered a few days ago..
At first glance, there seemed to be more than 50 or 60 goat monsters armed with all kinds of heavy weapons, including ax spears and glaives..
“I'll finish the troll first, stop it!”
I shouted and at the same time kicked the ground again and swung my sword. This time too, the saint's destruction drew a trace like a black beam of light..
Suddenly-
The arm of the steel troll that was trembling on the ground was cut off in an instant. My grip was tingling from the enormous resistance, but I continued to fertilize the guy without stopping even for a moment..
Guhuuk, Guk, Kuwook!
While I was painstakingly dismantling the steel trolls, my men clashed with Ushtu's warriors..
“Come on, dump rice.!”
Thump, thump!
Steedman, who had been attracting the attention of his enemies by striking the steel protrusion of the federal flag, suddenly swung the 'sword of destruction'. The massive pulse weighing more than 6 kilograms was swung like a whip and cut the upper body of the goat monster that attacked first into pieces diagonally..
Wow-
Without stopping there, he charged at the enemies following him with his pauldrons in front. The front row of members who were attacking in a group fell down as they were hit by headbutts using heavy plate armor, and Steedman crawled and rolled around at random, creating a mess..
“wake up now!”
Cal Ain quickly followed behind Steedman and appeared to be strengthening his defense with his shield raised..
They covered Steedman by attacking with their shields or peeling off the surrounding enemies with nimble steps, and every time Cole and Mittelman's arrows hit the goat monsters, they finished them off by firing out javelins..
“Rider of the sun!”
Tiloria, who was standing on the roof waiting for an opportunity, flew up with a loud roar. Clad in scale armor, she crashed into the midst of her enemies like a silver meteorite..
Wow!
At the same time as the landing that felt like a fall, the heavy curved blade was struck roughly, causing the unfortunate goat monster to split into left and right sides. Before the people around her could even react, she swung her sword as if she was dancing and swept across all directions..
As their companions on the curve fell in an instant, Ushtu's warriors formed their ranks and attacked in a group..
Jiing.
At that moment, Tilloria held out a half-gloved hand towards the goat heads that were attacking her. A purple glow emanated from the iron ball attached to the floor..
phut!
Kuwok!
A shock wave exploded in the air with a loud noise like a leather drum exploding, and the enemies who had just attacked fell backwards..
“Uh-ha!”
Steedman, who had just gotten up, threw himself into the chaos again, and Cal Ain chased after him, swearing softly..
Just then, I joined the battle, having dismantled the steel troll into fourteen pieces and neutralized it..
The goat monsters did not run away until the end, and in about 3 minutes they all lay down on the ground, puffing out smoke..
The battle in the other world came to an end when the group returned with the head of the 'Dragon Priest' who was hiding behind the crossroads and preparing for something..
