A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 203

Episode 203. The Red Shooting Star
Run.
Not me, but the spirit.
Moving while riding on the spirit’s back.
As expected of a wind spirit, it runs through the vast expanse of sky, not on the ground. And it does so at a terrifying speed like a storm.
The destination is Honey Grove.
The place where the devil who has already destroyed several villages is heading.
Boris expected the bastard to reach the walls of Honeygrove within a day or two.
It was the result of calculating the locations and speeds of the villages he visited.
Of course, they could be tearing down the wall right now.
This is because the devil is a guy who jumps around outside of expectations.
Today my prey is a Class A demon.
Also known as ‘Hydra’.
Class A demons and above are given names.
Because it is classified as a special entity.
By the way, the giant female locust that Schmidt beat to death before I could do anything was named ‘Mantis’.
I heard that Miho also had a name.
They say that the captain and his older sister spoke directly to the guild and it was resolved that this never happened.
‘What was it… I don’t remember.’
Anyway, it may not be important right now.
“Eww!”
A strange, suppressed scream burst from Boris’s tightly shut mouth.
The guy is currently holding onto Hurd’s waist with both eyes tightly shut.
Hurd, who was sitting in front, immediately frowned and looked back at Boris.
“Hey, Boris. You want to die? I told you to hold on tight. Who said to pinch me?”
“Eww!”
But our Boris Army doesn’t seem to be in the mood to answer properly.
He was groaning and groaning, repeating the same annoying groaning sounds over and over again.
A man moaning in the sky. That’s Boris.
I understand.
That’s understandable, because we were currently running through the vast sky like a storm.
And that too while sitting on a transparent tiger that was invisible to my eyes.
Hurd introduced this dark blue tiger with a horn on its forehead as the Spirit of the Storm.
Somehow, I suddenly remember the path of the wind that I felt when I first rode on the guy’s back. And the way I naturally carried my body on it and ran gracefully.
The spirit of the storm. It suits you.
I’m sitting behind him to prevent any accidents that may occur, because if Boris falls out because of the strong wind blowing here, it won’t end with a simple injury.
So, what I’m saying is that Boris is stuck between me and Hurd like a sandwich, struggling.
I gave encouragement to Boris, who was giggling and suffering.
“Boris. Open your eyes. See what the wind’s perspective is.”
Perhaps because he was curious, Boris opened his trembling eyes.
He immediately started swearing at me.
“This dog is a fucking duck!
I giggled and patted the guy on the back.
Our Boris Army surprisingly had a fear of heights.
I hit the back of Boris’ head as he clung to Hurd even more in fear.
“You rascal. I knew you had a secret crush on Hurd. And you’re still pursuing selfish interests in this dire situation. You’re truly a strategist, Boris.”
All of a sudden, a flood of curses came flying at me.
“That’s bullshit, you crazy bastard!”
Kids love listening.
Cheonma, who had been laughing quietly following me, muttered.
[I’m looking forward to it. Is this the first time I’ve met a beast worth seeing?]
“This time, for sure. I told you, it’s a proper A-class. It’ll be stronger than that locust last time, right?”
The Storm Spirit ran through the sky like a storm, carrying my master, a cowardly rascal, and a dandy swordsman.
We arrived at our destination within no time.
The castle walls were visible below.
It was a very new experience for the city walls to look so small.
I looked up at the wall, my eyes focused on the details.
Soldiers were staring ahead with stern expressions, armed with spears, arrows, and other weapons.
It was the face of a warrior about to go to war.
A situation where large equipment that would be used in a siege is also visible.
Thanks to rushing in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances, we arrived sooner than expected.
I patted Boris’s back, who was cowering.
“Boris. I’ve arrived.”
“……already?”
“As expected from a spirit of the storm, his eyes are spinning so fast.”
The tiger’s growling sound could be heard through his body.
Are you feeling good?
Boris opened his eyes slightly, took out some documents one by one, and looked through them as he spoke.
“They must be coming down from the north.”
The voice suddenly became calm.
Does looking at the documents give me courage I never had before? Or does it make my fears go away?
Anyway, he’s a strange guy.
“I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s almost certain that it’s heading towards here. There’s only one city around here. The rest of the villages were completely destroyed by it.”
“Then should I just keep going north and hunt him?”
“This is a test, so do as you see fit. Since he’s going to come here anyway, you can meet him here. Or you can go and find him. But if we miss each other, the city will be destroyed.”
“hmm.”
“Don’t forget. The goal of this mission is to defeat ‘Hydra’ and protect the city. Make a good decision. We’ll just watch.”
At this time, test tube Hudmilla shouted at me.
“Test takers!”
Like a model student, I answered quickly.
“Yes, examiner!”
Test tube Hudmilla was looking at the forest on the other side of the wall.
“Here he comes!”
Let’s follow her gaze.
I saw a forest that looked somehow foreign.
Dark clouds were gathering in the forest.
Maybe it’s the calm before the typhoon.
That was when.
thud!
A loud noise from afar broke the silence.
thud!
The sound was getting louder. This must be because the source was getting closer.
Boom! Boom!
The whole forest was in an uproar.
The birds flew up with a fluttering voice.
From a distance, a green grove of trees begins to sway.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The forest was screaming.
The smell of fear spread.
The smell of that game seems to be wafting all the way here.
Boom! Boom!
Tall trees fall one after another.
Their defeat heralded the advance of some gigantic being.
BAM! CRACK!
Within moments, the outermost trees fell, revealing the creature in a wide open space between the wall and the forest.
-Kuwaaaaaaaah!!
The bastard’s roar echoed throughout the area.
The roar alone seemed to shake the castle walls.
The bastard’s roar was mixed with mana.
It was fear.
I quickly wrapped my hands around my inner energy and protected Boris’ ears.
This weakling could lose his mind just from this.
“Huh!”
Even my ears feel a little ringing.
I frowned slightly and took a good look at the guy.
“oh.”
The locust lady I saw last time? She looked cute.
Mantis was the youngest of the A-class brothers. And she was a pretty cute youngest.
Or maybe it was just weakened from laying eggs in the nest.
Anyway, the important thing is that this guy is a proper A-class demon.
[Oh. It looks quite dirty.]
It was literally as big as a house.
It must be about 20 meters high.
There was a huge difference between seeing it in a picture and seeing it in person.
At first glance, it looked like a giant reptile, with a large body and several elongated heads.
‘How many are there in all?’
One, two, three… … .
‘Oh, just stay still.’
It was difficult to count because he kept moving his head wildly.
[There are nine.]
There were nine in total.
A total of nine heads were moving freely, each following the fluttering flower petals.
‘petal?’
Flower petals out of nowhere.
Now I looked and saw that the wide field between the end of the forest and the castle wall was full of flowers.
I didn’t notice it because I’m not the type of guy who likes flowers.
It was really nice and exotic to see the beautiful flower petals of various colors flying in all directions with the appearance of the guy.
It felt like I was watching a very distorted and twisted fairy tale.
Is it like an angel found in a pit of fire? Or a devil met in heaven?
A Masurani covered in flower petals.
Why is that?
The ferocity was doubled when surrounded by refreshing flower petals.
Look at that majesty. This was definitely no ordinary guy.
It was a creature capable of trampling a city through fluttering flower petals and breaking through solid walls.
In the picture each head looked like a snake, but now I see that they are as fearsome as dragons.
It was to the point where I thought, ‘Isn’t that place spitting fire?’
Nine dragon-like heads each roared instead of firing at the walls.
-Kuaaaaak!
-Keeeeeek!
-Kyaaaaah!
It was a declaration of war against the city walls.
It was a truly terrifying sound when all those noisy guys were howling at the same time.
On the walls, there were a few people who collapsed at the mere sound of the roar.
It looked like they were going to rush into the castle wall.
Arriving just before crashing into the wall.
It couldn’t have been a more exquisite time.
It almost makes me think that maybe heaven is helping me.
“Are you watching, Ketel?”
Test tube Hurd yelled at me again.
“Student! He’s trying to break down the wall. What are we going to do?”
I recited the model answer.
“Before the wall breaks down, we’ll break its head first!”
Examiner Hudmilla nodded her head as if satisfied.
“There won’t be time for maintenance.”
“No need.”
I just held the hilt of the knife.
“Hehehe.”
My hands were shaking slightly.
It wasn’t because of fear.
It was because excitement and joy were pouring out uncontrollably.
“Don’t push yourself too hard! If anything comes up, I’ll take care of it!”
She shouted, transforming in an instant from a strict test tube to her fellow Hudmilla.
“That won’t happen.”
“Wait. I’ll put you down.”
Sling-
I muttered as I drew my sword.
“No, that’s not necessary.”
“what?”
Before she could say anything, I jumped down from the storm spirit.
“Hehehe!”
A dizzying sense of fall greets me.
“You crazy bastard!”
From above, Hurd’s voice was heard. No, it was Boris.
I don’t know. I think it’s both.
[Hehehe.]
“Hehehe.”
I couldn’t stop laughing and just kept on bursting out.
The wind of the rain suddenly engulfed me.
The flower petals that were fluttering in all directions were caught in the vortex.
Wheezing!
The howling wind accelerated the fall.
Falling things have no wings.
I fell down onto the demons advancing towards the castle walls, surrounded by flower petals.
Woof-
As I poured my internal energy into the half-sword, a red aura rose up.
‘Just a quick hello, nice to meet you.’
I fell down on him like a beautiful, bright red shooting star.
* * *
Private Dave.
He was a guard guarding the walls of Honeygrove.
It was a perfectly satisfying job, except for the five shifts of guard duty, the changing of day and night, and the irregular sleeping hours.
The salary was decent, and the pride he felt in protecting the city where his precious family and friends lived made him proud.
Dave was confident in his bow more than anything else.
He is known among the guards as the Sharpshooter Dave.
Just the day before yesterday, there was a record of cleanly dealing with a D-class demon rushing towards the castle wall with a single arrow.
He took pride in his work.
Until just now.
-Kuwaaaaaaaah!!
“… … This is crazy.”
I lost my will to fight with one roar.
What on earth is that mythical monster?
Shiver shiver.
My hands were shaking.
Mackin, who was standing next to me, had already collapsed.
The commander pointed at the guy and shouted something, but no one could hear him.
My ears were ringing.
-Kyaaaaahh …
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The nine-headed monster came running wildly in a sight more terrifying than anything I’d ever seen in a dream.
The sight of the monster charging towards the castle walls grew larger at a terrifying speed.
“Shoot! Shoot!”
The commander ran along the wall and shouted wildly, but not many arrows flew.
Most people, like Dave, lost their will to fight because of the monster’s roar.
Dave couldn’t lift his bow.
Even if I shot that guy with an arrow according to my original skill, what good would that do?
What’s the use of resisting?
It seemed like it couldn’t hit anything.
“Ah… ahh… … .”
In the face of overwhelming violence that cannot be resisted, humans become infinitely weak.
A feeling of helplessness was eating away at me.
Despair clouded my vision.
That was when.
A red shooting star fell vertically.
“uh?”
Salang-
Pink petals brushed the cheek.
Then, a strong wind blew in, making it impossible to open my eyes.
Wheezing!
“Ugh!”
Why is the wind blowing all of a sudden?
When Dave opened his eyes again, a roaring head was on the ground.
“……uh?”
It was a sight that seemed unbelievable.
-Koooooooooo!
In front of the monster, which was spewing blood and suffering, a man was standing with his back turned.
