A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 244
Only Noblemtl
Episode 244. Jawbone
Krrrrrr… … .
Look at that adorable thing peeking out of the cave entrance.
It was so cute that I felt like I wanted to just cut it in half and kill it.
Even Cheonma acknowledged it.
[He’s a cute guy.]
He had a particularly well-developed jaw.
The teeth, each as large as an adult male, were growing out in a disorderly, dense manner, with no order or pattern.
He wanted to show off his teeth so badly that he had many strong teeth growing out from above and below his jaw, piercing through his skin.
Each one of them was a scary sight, poking out through the thick skin.
I’m dying of rage.
It looks like it could chew on people and even rocks.
Thick saliva dripped from between those disorderly teeth.
It was a class A demon.
“Hey.”
The devil said he would come if I told him to.
As soon as I spoke, I saw the demon that arrived and let out a sigh.
Normally, we would want to avoid collision as much as possible, but this guy is completely blocking the entrance to the cave.
The only good thing is that he can’t get in.
Because its body is bigger than the cave.
But I can’t just wait until he leaves.
Because the moment you call other colleagues, the situation becomes worst.
The moment I met his greedy eyes.
The option of running away was eliminated.
Now, we have to deal with it.
As fast as possible.
The moment I made up my mind, I immediately took action.
I stood up from my seat, placing my hand on the hilt of the half-sword dedicated to the Demonic Hand at my waist.
He took care of Monde, who was resting for a while due to exhaustion from the rough mountain hike.
“King Monde. If it’s hard, get out. Don’t overdo it.”
Monde Kyung got up from his seat, munching on jerky like a back-alley thug.
“Nonsense. Get out of here. I’ll go and relax.”
Huh?
I suddenly felt competitive.
“I was just about to go for a walk. I’m going for a walk, so Kyung, rest comfortably and save up your energy.”
Monde did not support the light.
“Storing up stamina? I’ve never been tired.”
“Then what did I see? A cloud of breath kept coming out of the mouth and dispersing into the air?”
“It’s a spirit.”
“Are you crying? I heard you panting.”
“Actually, it’s hyperventilation.”
“… … Isn’t that worse?”
The demon who had been quietly watching our argument from the cave entrance stuck his head out of the cave.
When Monde saw that, he said:
“What a smart guy.”
He nodded and admitted it.
“He’s a smart guy. I guess he’s not an A-class for nothing.”
If it were any other normal demon, they would somehow stick their heads inside and try to eat us.
This guy seemed to be waiting quietly outside, aware that he was blocking the only entrance and exit.
As expected, it’s A-class.
Isn’t he pretty smart?
If I had forced my head in, it would have been stuck and I could have dealt with it simply.
It’s a shame.
“Mongd Kyung said as he walked towards the cave entrance.
“What should I name it?”
By the way, since Class A and above are considered special entities, they are given separate names.
Since we are the first discoverers, the name we give will be recorded as it is when we report to the Duke.
When you name it, it’s Ashvan, when you name it, it’s Ashvan.
The naming king Ashvan gave his opinion.
“How about a chin stone?”
I heard Cheonma sigh.
Monde Kyung stopped and looked at me.
“Are you serious?”
“I’m always sincere. What do you mean, Jawbone?”
“It’s rustic.”
“Any better suggestions?”
“… … .”
“I see. That guy is a chin-stone from today onwards. I will report him to the Duke as a chin-stone, so keep that in mind.”
Monde Kyung was grumbling.
“I bet he’d be really happy if I told him he had a chin-up.”
“So what? It’s cute, Jawbone. It suits you.”
“That’s true.”
We walked side by side to the cave entrance, chatting.
“What should we do? If we want to handle this quickly, I think we should divide up the roles.”
“I will cut off your head when I have a chance, so that you can get my attention.”
“That’s not difficult… Sir Monde. Can you do it?”
Monde Kyung let out a mocking laugh.
“Don’t hold on to my ankles.”
As he spoke, Lord Monde walked ahead.
Sling-
He drew his sword.
His sword, which swayed along with his steps, had a swaying, pale yellow aura.
The thought crossed my mind that he resembled his master in many ways as he walked.
The horse mounted the horse.
[It’s natural. It’s an expression of the ideals contained in my mind.]
When I think about it, that’s what happened.
Even in my sword, things in my mind would show up.
Dark night sky. Twinkling stars. Moonlight pouring down silently.
Recently, even blue flames and white branches.
‘Stay still.’
Wasn’t the sword energy that I first raised before learning martial arts red like blood?
Cheonma said that he was extremely ominous.
Is that the ideal that was in my mind before martial arts took hold?
Cheonma simply agreed.
[That’s right. It was as fierce as a lynx.]
“… … .”
[Even now, the fundamentals haven’t changed much, you beast of a guy. Don’t you still keep emitting red aura?]
“No matter what, it’s still a beast.”
[Be quiet. Just follow that rascal.]
I shrugged, forged the Starlight Sword into my half-sword, and followed him.
* * *
I raised the flagpole to polarity and then rode the wind to attack here and there to get the guy’s attention.
I tried to stay as close to the front as possible, out of his sight.
Because while I was drawing attention and creating an opening, Mond had to deliver a fatal blow.
I tried using the Black Ship in combat while competing with the Jawbone and the Male.
And sometimes, you can kick the air and change the direction of your body.
At an unexpected moment, he leapt into the air and threw a night spear at the bastard’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Monde Kyung was targeting the guy from the side and rear.
This guy, Jawbone, was no ordinary guy. He chased me without letting go of Monde Kyung.
It seemed like he was vaguely aware that it was a diversionary operation.
Our chin.
He’s also smart.
The tense war of nerves between the chin strap and the two swordsmen continued for a while.
Let me give you a gift by secretly hiding a small ball of light in white and blue in the pitch-black night sky.
Chindol was startled by my cute prank.
The battle ended when Mond Kyung, who did not miss the moment, jumped up and cleanly cut off Jawbone’s neck.
But maybe it took longer than expected, maybe the fighting was quite loud, or maybe the sound of the reverse light I gave as a gift was louder than expected.
One by one, the devils who were so cute that I wanted to bite them to death began to gather and show their faces.
Kreung?
That’s it. That’s it.
Purrrrrr.
Before we knew it, a net had naturally formed around us.
That’s why I tried to avoid fighting as much as possible.
After barely getting the magic stone from the chin, I escaped through the siege with Mond. I couldn’t stand the magic stone.
So… I was running away from the demons all day long, barely able to shake them off and return to the castle walls.
“That’s it. Any questions?”
“… … .”
The Sherwood guys who had returned from their mission stared blankly at me before turning their gaze to Lord Monde sitting next to me.
The exhausted Lord Monde lay stretched out like liquid on the chair.
He seemed too tired to even say anything, and just breathed without saying much.
Princess Lilia, who was sitting next to him, patted Sir Monde on the shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work, Monde.”
Mond looked at the princess with a hazy gaze.
“princess…….”
“huh.”
“I worked hard. I didn’t get caught.”
“Yes, Sir Monde. Well done. Very good.”
It seems that the princess was quite upset when she told him not to hold back on his ankle before he set out on his mission.
“Here, drink this. I asked the wizards to get it for me. It’ll give you strength if you drink it.”
“yes…….”
Let alone the sad reunion between the princess and her guardian knight.
I looked around the table.
Everyone was out in the snow all day, wandering around beyond the barrier, so no one was unharmed.
“No questions, that’s fine. Okay, next.”
I cut off the start and then listened to the reports of the other two teams.
First, the thief and swordsman team.
To summarize:
A total of twenty B-class demons were discovered over the course of a day.
eliminate.
A special entity presumed to be Class A was discovered.
eliminate.
“… … .”
I stared blankly at the thief and the swordsman.
Did I misinform you that the mission was to destroy the demons?
“I thought you said it was a reconnaissance mission?”
The blue-eyed Sorou answered in a cool tone.
“He said he left it up to each person’s judgment.”
“That’s true, though.”
He scratched his forehead.
I didn’t know you’d go around killing people you saw.
Come to think of it, even before I came here, he was the guy who went beyond the barrier every day to hunt demons.
For Harts and Sorou, today’s work didn’t seem much different from the previous days.
Hearing the bonus just made me a little more motivated.
“Even if we kill them, they didn’t chase us? We ran away all day.”
Sorou raised one corner of his mouth and gave a cold sneer.
“You have no tricks. You have to hit quickly and get out.”
“… … .”
This guy seems to have accumulated some know-how from going over the barrier and killing the demons.
“Please share some of those tips with me.”
“I don’t like it.”
This kid?
Dauphin intervened to mediate.
“Nothing much, brother. If they were all gathered together, I would lure them to one side, and if a few were walking around alone, I would surprise them. I just quickly hit them and ran away. In this guy’s case, he calculated thoroughly before attacking and then went in.”
I looked at Sorrow, and he nodded.
“I take the head, and Hearts takes the body. When I tell you to go in, you go in. When I tell you to get out, you take it out.”
“hmm.”
It was a skill that was not easily imitated.
A cool head and a hot body.
Usually, if you have a good head, your body is comfortable, and if your body is good, your head is comfortable.
These guys were both good-looking and good-natured, so it was an absurd situation where both were comfortable.
So, it was a strategy that only a two-faced swordsman could carry out.
The swordsman’s eyes turned yellow, and Hearts shrugged.
“I got lucky this time. Usually, I just let it slide because the angle doesn’t come out.”
“hmm.”
Anyway, as long as the result is good, that’s fine.
If we could not only discover it but also take action, that would be a great result.
Because if we leave them alone, they will come rushing towards the wall anyway.
“heartbreak.”
“hmm?”
Sorrow looked at me with shining blue eyes.
“Aren’t my achievements brilliant?”
“Until now?”
“Remember, there is a stake in the conservatives.”
“… … .”
The eyes were filled with madness.
Is that really that good?
It didn’t taste that good either.
‘That’s crazy.’
But this is Ashvan’s personal opinion.
As a leader, Ashvan is different.
Sherwood’s captain needs to keep these lunatics in check.
Sometimes with a whip. Sometimes with a carrot.
Sherwood’s captain Ashvan pretended to be in agony for a moment and then opened his mouth solemnly.
“If it continues to be brilliant until the end.”
“What if it’s revolutionary?”
Sorrow’s eyes sparkled.
“I’ll give in to my share too.”
Sorrow’s eyes flashed blue.
It was a scary look that made Princess Lilia jump back with a “Hic!”
“Are you serious about that?”
“Of course. I’ve never been insincere for a moment.”
“good.”
“But, do you know that if you overdo it, you won’t get a single drop? I won’t even sprinkle it on your grave. Do it in moderation.”
Sorrow smiled askance.
“Don’t worry. I don’t plan on dying without drinking ‘that.’”
I could feel his sincerity.
“ha…….”
I sighed involuntarily.
A poison-crazy guy. A thief-crazy guy. And a drink-crazy guy, too.
Being surrounded by all kinds of crazy people made my head spin.
‘Captain. What the hell are you…?’
What kind of life have you lived?
After the captain disbanded the mercenary group and announced his retirement, it seemed like he finally understood why he had settled down in a peaceful mountain village.
I may have committed an irreversible act.
The devil chuckled.
[Hold on. Wasn’t this the path you chose?]
“That’s right. You have to endure it.”
I pressed my temples and looked at the last group.
There was Schmidt, who was relatively normal in Sherwood, so I wasn’t too worried.
The member who is as sturdy as beef jerky even when he just sits next to you is Schmidt.
Even if Linda had done something weird, Schmidt would have taken care of it.
“Okay, then last of all. The quick-witted and the poisonous. Report.”
When it was his turn, Schmidt moved his hands diligently and reported in sign language.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The expressions of the Sherwood guys, including me, who were watching this gradually became more and more bizarre.
Princess Lilia, who doesn’t know sign language, said with a face that said she was dying of curiosity.
“Why? What did you say to make your expressions like that?”
Dauphin answered with a trembling face.
“princess.”
“yes?”
“Those crazy guys caught the devil and tortured him with poison.”
“……yes?”
“That’s also a class A demon.”
“… … .”
