When the leader stopped, Elio and his group finally gathered together.
Elio, who was in the rear, stepped forward.
“why? “Is there a problem?”
The question is directed at Count Larva Omar, not at Fabian.
Count Larva Omar answered.
“We were talking about the mountain path. It’s a bit unclear whether it’s a natural road or a built road. What does it look like to you, Lord Lagoa?”
Elio’s eyes turned to the path on the mountain.
It seems to be too well-trodden to be considered a naturally occurring road.
“Isn’t there a possibility that it is a passageway for monsters to travel through?”
“There are no monster droppings or traces of hunting.”
This means that it is not a passage for monsters to travel through.
“If it’s not a beast or a monster… … “What’s left?”
Then Fabian, who had been thinking about Hirhera earlier, intervened.
“Could it be a demon?”
There was silence for a moment.
Elio thought for a moment and said with an expression that said that couldn’t be possible.
“Why are demons here? I don’t know if it’s the North, but it’s the South. “I don’t know if it’s okay to call it the South.”
“There are monsters in the Abyss, so why not call them demons?”
“So why are there demons in the Abyss? “The demons live in Tameon beyond the northern ice wall.”
An ice wall called Scutum blocks the continent from Tameon, the land of the demons.
In this world, the ice wall is like a kind of barrier erected by the creator god Manaptras, dividing the world of demons and the world of humans.
But suddenly there are demons in the south?
Even for Elio, who is not from another world, it was an absurd statement.
But Fabian did not give up his argument.
“There is no law that says demons must only exist in Tameion. “Couldn’t they be demons who lived in the south before the ice wall was created?”
“But the entrance to the Abyss was thousands of meters beneath the ground until humans excavated it. Open pit mines were probably developed after the ice wall was built. Howard, am I right?”
Baron Howard Solon nodded in response to Elio’s question.
“Yes, the open pit mine was developed after Scutum was built.”
“Look. I heard that the timing of the demons and the Abyss is not right. lets think. There were no demons in the great forest either. why? Because the main forest is in the south. But how come there are demons in the Abyss? Definitely not demons.”
Elio strongly denied it, but Fabian did not back down.
“If you take away all this and that, all that’s left are demons. Even if you don’t understand it, accept it.”
“Why aren’t the demons removed from there? “If the timing is not right, you have to take it out.”
“I’m not taking it out because after taking everything out, all that’s left is demons.”
“Don’t choose what to take out or not to take out as you like!”
As the two people raised their voices, Crea spoke cautiously.
“Well, won’t we find out soon enough down the road who is right?”
Because it was true, Elio and Fabian only blinked and did not open their mouths.
Count Larva Omar lightly tapped Fabian on the shoulder as if encouraging him and then walked forward.
Fabian, who quickly caught up with Count Omar, asked vaguely.
“Who do you think Lord Omar is?”
“If you erase the ones that don’t meet the conditions, one thing will remain. Don’t fret. Whatever it is, you will face it soon.”
“As expected of Lord Omar… … .”
But Count Larva Omar said nothing more.
Fabian, tired of that, also kept his mouth shut.
Contrary to Count Omar’s expectations, we went down for a while but there was nothing that stood out.
Meanwhile, like an unexplored land, monsters continued to appear.
Fabian arrived at the bottom of the mountain around dusk and suddenly became quiet.
This is because I can’t see anything that could be considered a demon.
The winding mountain road was still questionable, but that was all.
Elio approached Fabian and lightly tapped his sagging shoulder.
It was clearly an imitation of Count Larva Omar.
Count Larva Omar shook his head and took a step back from the two men.
As expected, I was glad not to talk about it with Fabian.
He ended up raising both his hands and feet due to Count Elio Lagoa’s persistence.
“Fabian, I don’t think there are any demons you mentioned. So, shouldn’t you have studied ancient history a little harder when you were at the academy? How can a wild man be worse than me… … .”
Before Elio could finish speaking, a bunch of something flew out of the dark forest.
Tsutsutsutsu!
Elio, who was startled, quickly unleashed his spiritual energy to protect his companions.
A translucent wall that looked like a wizard’s shield was erected in front of Elio and his group.
Puff puff puff!
A dozen arrows fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Elio muttered with a strange expression on his face after seeing the arrows lying on the ground.
“What is that?”
I thought it was a bit big, but when I saw it fall on the ground, it was the size of a ballista, a siege weapon.
Fabian’s face lit up when he saw the arrow belatedly.
That’s because it’s something that only a large demon can handle.
“Wow! Look at that arrow! “You’re not a wild man, are you?”
Of course, there is no way for wild people to live in the unexplored areas of the Abyss.
That was just nonsense to piss Elio off.
After a while, giants armed with bows and spears poured out of the forest.
Fabian saw that and shouted with a triumphant expression.
“It’s Gigantas. They are demons. The demons of Tameon were also present in the Abyss!”
Gigantas is a mixture of Cyclops and Astaroid and is the strongest of the giants.
Elio looked at the thirteen Gigantas with a shit-chewing look on his face.
One of them shouted something in a deep voice.
However, Elio and the others couldn’t understand the demon’s language, so they just stared blankly.
Elio absentmindedly touched the ring.
This is an interpretation artifact returned by Luna Mylus before he disappeared.
However, I couldn’t understand it because it wasn’t human language.
At that time, I suddenly remembered Pan, the chieftain of the Burakwi tribe whom I had met in the mountains of Akkad.
―This is an artifact called Treducer, a treasure of our tribe. I heard that the monarch does not know the language of the demons. If you use this, you will be able to communicate with demons.
Now that I think about it, I have one more interpretation artifact that I received from Pan.
Elio took out a black crystal necklace (Treducer) from Mahadam and hung it around his neck.
And then he walked in front of the demons who were showing off their fierce spirit.
“We are people who came down from the earth.”
Kum, the leader of the Gigantas warriors, said with a bewildered expression.
“what are you talking about? We stand on the ground. “I can’t go down.”
Elio pointed his finger to the sky.
“I’m talking about the land above the sky.”
“omg! “It’s an invader!”
At his shout, the Gigantas warriors drew their weapons like a thunderbolt.
The atmosphere suddenly changed and Fabian shouted in surprise.
“Lord Lagoa! “What did you say that made you so angry?”
“They say I’m an invader because I came from the land!”
“Did you say anything else?”
“What?”
“You’re good at saying things that turn your stomach!”
“That’s you.”
Although weapons were drawn, Qum did not order the warriors to attack.
He hesitated at the magic that the human showed him a moment ago.
Only the chieftain can block arrows that pierce even monsters with a translucent wall.
When I thought that there was someone with such abilities among the intruders, I couldn’t help but speak up.
In the meantime, Elio spoke again.
“Why do they call us invaders? We didn’t come to steal it. I didn’t come here to fight. “Who are you going to invade with such a small number?”
Only then did Kum take a close look at the humans.
Four males and one female.
The number is definitely too small to say they came for an invasion.
Moreover, there was no decent equipment in sight.
The male and female were only armed with a sword on their bare bodies.
“Then why did you come here?”
As the conversation began, the Gigantas warriors quietly lowered their weapons.
“I am looking for a god named Ushas Undra (Golden Temple).”
“Ushas Undra?”
“So, do you know anything about that god?”
“I don’t know. hey! Do you know about the god Ushas Undra?”
Gigantas warriors answered Qum’s question with loud voices.
“I don’t know!”
Then Kum turned to the human again.
“Did you hear? “I don’t know.”
“Gigantas also live in groups, right? “Isn’t there any Gigantas who might know anything about Ushas Undra?”
“If you are the chief, you might know. “Because he is the wisest in our tribe.”
“Let me meet the chieftain.”
“It’s not that difficult. To do that, we have to go to our tribe, is that okay?”
“why? Is there a problem?”
Elio looked up at the giant.
Gigantas is one of the more naive among the demons and is far from lying.
“If the chief calls you invaders, you die. “I’m still asking if you will follow me.”
“If it’s that kind of deal, it’s okay. “It won’t be easy to kill us.”
“That’s a lot of confidence. All right, I will take you to meet the chieftain. “Follow me.”
After speaking, Kum walked into the forest with the Gigantas warriors.
Elio, who finished talking with the demons, spoke to the group.
“I asked if he knew about Ushas Undra, and he said he didn’t. “The chief said he might know, so we agreed to meet.”
Then Fabian asked quickly.
“Are you sure you’re going to the demons?”
“uh. “We have to go, will you come if I call you?”
“Lord Lagoa, do you know that humans are a delicacy to demons?”
“Do you think only demons eat people? “People eat people too.”
As Elio took it casually, Fabian just sighed.
Suddenly, the memory of almost being eaten by demons in Tameon came to mind.
If it weren’t for Count Elio Lagoa, it would have been turned into shit and spread all over Tameion by now.
Crea whispered to Baron Howard Solon.
“Brother, are humans really a delicacy to demons?”
“I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. “To the eyes of demons, people will look like cows or sheep.”
“… … .”
Crea looked at Gigantas’ back with a white face.
Now that I think about it, a little while ago, I shot the arrow first.
It was clearly an act of hunting.
Count Larva Omar spoke in detail as if to confirm it.
“Even high-level demons like people. Just as humans eat monkey bones, they also like human bones. Interestingly, it is said that the more human-like a demon is, the more they like human meat.”
“Ugh… … .”
Crea trembled as if it was terrifying just thinking about it.
“Don’t be too scared. “You just have to stay away from Sir Omar and Lord Lagoa.”
Crea nodded vigorously at Baron Howard Solon’s words.
Gigantas warrior Tuto, who had been following a path in the forest for a while, spoke to Kum.
“Do you think they are invaders?”
“I do not know. “The chief will judge.”
“Strange. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like an invader. They just smell sweet. “How does food become an invasion?”
At his words, the Gigantas warriors all burst into laughter.
Then Qum reprimanded the warriors.
“Don’t laugh. You’ve seen human magic. Not a hunter, but a warrior. “It means don’t let your guard down.”
The other Gigantas warriors had red faces at those words, but Tuto was different.
“Honestly, I lost my grip because the human was so small. Because you don’t want your body to explode when hit by an arrow. If I had shot it with all my might, it would have definitely gone through the magic. hey! How about you guys? Did you shoot with full force?”
“no!”
“I can’t believe you gave your all to hunting such small game! “Don’t joke!”
As the Gigantas warriors responded, Tuto looked back at Qum.
“Did you hear? “You are being too cautious.”
Then Kum spoke firmly.
“It’s already been decided. “The chief will decide whether you are an invader, a warrior, or a prey.”
