Chapter 138 – …I hate it.

Chapter 136

Koogu Palace.

What is it? The entire cave has been echoing since earlier. The floor of the cave trembles.

“What’s going on out there?”

“Okay.”

“…Well, it seems there is something.”

“Huh?”

What is it? When I questioned Alicia’s words, she hesitated.

“Ba, something is out there. That’s why they seem to be fighting.”

“…Hmm, I guess there were more.”

Yes, the size of the nest is large, but there are few high-risk monsters. But with Estelle and Elfriede out there, wouldn’t it be okay?

“Hero Abel!!!”

“Huh?”

At that time, a slightly familiar voice came from behind. This voice… Is Saint Cynthia?

I heard a voice, and after a while, Saint Cynthia, who came running with her holy power bag shaking, appeared.

…Still very destructive.

“Saint Cynthia? What are you doing?”

“Ji, I’m in big trouble now!”

“Yes?”

“Agares-class knight-type monsters outside…!”

…What?

“…What came out?”

The feeling of joking just disappeared. Now I feel like I must have heard it wrong.

But Saint Cynthia still spoke in an urgent voice.

“An Agares-class knight-type monster has appeared! I think you should come quickly!”

“…Yes?”

Now then, did you say that the cause of this vibration was that an Agares class monster appeared and fought?

…The size of the nest was all for a reason. An Agares-class knight-type monster, if such a thing appeared outside, even Elfriede would not be able to withstand it.

I wanted to go back right away. But Celine caught me and said.

“…Hero, but we will go forward.”

“Yes?”

“It seems that Saint Estelle has already done something. The energy we feel outside now is similar to the energy we felt when Saint Estelle came to rescue us.”

“…Yes?”

Celine’s words were that Estelle was using her divine powers again.

Selene said.

“Now that it has come to this, leave that to Saint Estelle and let us find Mother. And there may be other high-risk monsters in the nest. If you let the monsters that came out join the Agares-class monsters outside, the situation outside will become more difficult.”

She said that Estelle said she didn’t want to use her divine power to the fullest, but she kept making it use it.

…Damn it. I couldn’t protect you again

“…Will Estelle be okay?”

“The hero knows better how strong the saintess is, right? If we find Mother quickly and deal with it, it will be more helpful to the saintess now.”

That’s… That’s right.

“Wait a minute, Hero Abel. Are you saying you’re leaving Saint Elfriede and Estelle alone? No matter how much Saint Estelle is a true saint…”

“…Ah, you’ve never seen Saint Cynthia.”

I explained to her in her tone to reassure her.

“Estel, who has manifested her divine power, is really strong. It will probably be fine.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. You are much stronger than the likes of me.”

Saint Cynthia noticed that she was not easily trusted. But when Celine and I both said yes, it became a situation where she had no choice but to trust her.

“…Then I guess I’ll have to find Mother soon.”

“Yes, they move fast. I don’t have time to relax.”

…I hope the side effects aren’t severe.

Boom! Quaang!

A spear shining red like the sun fell from the sky. Avoiding the slashing spear, the monster stepped back from her and stared at a woman holding a blackened spear.

“…What the hell…That power…”

This monster, judged to be an Agareth-class knight-type monster, and given the name ‘Bene’ by the mother who gave birth to him, is now feeling the crisis of a lifetime.

Since Bene was born, she has never seen a being stronger than herself. Powerful from his very birth, he was unmatched.

That’s why he didn’t know how to fight a strong enemy. He had been born to his mother for quite some time, but he had no experience yet. That factor made Bene even more intimidated.

Chiik!

Every time a spear falls, the ground melts and the surroundings seethe with heat. Even Bene, a high-risk monster, felt the heat.

Estel, a woman who carelessly threw this hot and intense spear, asked Bene.

“How long are you going to run away? Should I protect your queen?”

“A monstrous human…”

Bene raised her sword once again. It was to prepare for the powerful blow that Elfriede had blocked with the power of the holy sword. Seeing Bene’s sword, which had already melted, become huge again, Elfriede shouted.

“Saint Estelle, that attack again!”

However, for Estelle who drew her divine power, that blow was no longer dangerous.

“Die…!”

Bene’s huge sword was swung once again. I didn’t know how the sword, which was much bigger than the body of the monster, could be swung so fast, but it was clear that if I couldn’t stop it, I would be defeated.

Estelle raised the black spear in her hand. She then threw the spear at her greatsword, which had been swung. The great sword collided with the spear of the sun stained black, and something surprising happened.

Chiik!!!

“!”

“Melting…?”

The moment Bene’s greatsword touched the spear, it began to melt. It was a result that surprised not only Bene but also Elfriede, who was watching, but Estelle, who actually did the work, didn’t care.

Maybe it was a natural reaction. Eclipse Solis, because it was one of Estelle’s most powerful skills.

The sword collided with the spear completely melted away, and Bene lost his weapon in an instant.

“The sword is missing?”

With her crimson hair flying, Estelle reached out her hand toward the spear that had been blown away. Then her spear lost shape and scattered into light, and she returned to Estelle’s hand.

Holding the spear, Estelle looked at Bene and said.

“Should we finish it now? It seems that there has been a decision.”

“…Don’t be cocky, human subject!!!”

At Estelle’s provocation, Bene became enraged and rushed at it, but Estelle, who had manifested divine power, could see all of his movements accurately.

Kwajik!!

The spear of the black sun pierced Bene’s chest. He had captured the exact moment Bene thrust his sharp claws into Estelle’s neck. Bene’s fingernails stopped just before touching Estelle’s neck.

The spear that pierced Bene’s chest melted everything with its heat, and Bene’s heart melted and life activities stopped on the spot.

After confirming that the monster’s life had ended, Estelle gradually released the divine power she had received from her body. His scarlet hair turned black again, and the heat that had heated up the surroundings gradually dissipated.

“…Sigh.”

At that time, Estelle, who had returned to normal, staggered as she touched her forehead. Seeing her like that, her Elfride hurriedly approached and supported her.

“Saint Estelle, why are you like this!”

“…I must have borrowed the power of the goddess for too long.”

Hearing her words, Elfriede thought that this is why she hates Abel and Estelle using her power. As a side effect, she said she would hate it if her lover was sick.

But Estelle felt it. Recently, in exchange for borrowing the power of the goddess several times in a short period of time, the speed at which she loses her power is accelerating.

The dizziness I felt now also happened when Estelle permanently lost part of her divine power.

“Abel is…”

“It’s not out yet. I’ll wait here for now. There is probably nothing more dangerous than the monsters the saintess subdued.”

“…Can I get some rest? Her head is so dizzy….”

“Yes, of course.”

Estelle held her concern for her Abel as she slowly closed her eyes.

#

“Ah…Really…”

At that time, Abel’s side, which Cynthia had joined, was in a situation where they met another strange-looking monster. It was a monster with a shape that I don’t know how to describe it.

It was a monstrous looking monster with multiple arms and a large mouth on a lump of crimson flesh.

“…Did Mother really eat something wrong?”

“Ji, I really agree…”

Celine said “Ugh” With an expression of disapproval, and Cynthia also looked like she was saying “This is a bit”.

In the meantime, Alicia said.

“…Ah, Abel.”

“Why?”

“I guess, but the older sister here seems to be out of her mind.”

“Huh?”

When Abel asked what he was talking about, Alicia answered.

“When a mother gives birth to a monster, you don’t know what kind of monster will come out, but normal mothers don’t give birth to monsters with bizarre shapes like this.”

“Uh…Right? I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

Only in this nest was there a strange-looking monster. It was an interesting hypothesis, thought Abel.

“When a mother gives birth to a monster, what has the most impact is the amount of nutrients supplied and her mental state. I don’t think it’s undernourished for the size of the nest… I think there’s probably something wrong with the mental state that gave birth to such an abnormal, made-to-order offspring.”

Alicia said so earnestly, then she waved her hand at the somehow quiet Abel.

“No, of course it’s a guess! I don’t know if it’s accurate, so I could be wrong!”

“Who said what? I was listening to it because it seemed like useful information.”

“Yes, I see.”

It occurred to her that if Alicia’s guess was true, she might not be able to get any useful information from Mother.

“But does Mother go crazy?”

“There is. If a child you care about dies…”

“Huh?”

Abel made a sound as if he was surprised. I go crazy because my beloved child dies. That word meant only one thing.

“Does Mother have maternal love?”

“…Everything, isn’t it natural? Although each of us is different to some extent, motherly love exists by default. Of course, I’m the type of person with little maternal love, but…”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Whoops.”

It was the first information I heard. After she gave birth, she was the Abel she thought she was just serving as her subordinate.

‘Come to think of it, what name did the North Queen also call the Amon-class monster under her command?’

I don’t know if that was proof of maternal love.

Abel let out a deep sigh and pulled out her holy sword. To get rid of the monstrous monster in front of her eyes.

“…I hope you can communicate at least with words.”

#

“Looks like it’s here…”

There were two more monstrous looking monsters after that. Abel hated the monsters that looked like they were just made and proceeded to cut them down, and she arrived at this place.

It was a large cavity inside the cave that looked like Mother would be staying. There were no monsters around, and the sagging coffins were gathering in one place.

And Mother sat alone on her old throne, her entire body covered in gray uppers.

“Are you the mother of this place?”

Abel asked her mother, holding out her holy sword. However, even when Mother held the holy sword in front of the hero threatening her, she only looked ahead with his blank eyes.

“Yeah, as expected, this older sister seems crazy. Unless you’re out of your mind, I wouldn’t even budge when you point that sword at me…”

At Alicia’s words, Abel nodded her head. Abel pointed her holy sword at Alicia, and she freaked out.

“Hee, hee!”

“Yes, this reaction should come out.”

“Get away from me!!”

“Are you giving orders?”

“Chi, please put it away! Please…!”

Abel nodded and turned her holy sword back to Mother who was sitting on her throne. At that time, Mother’s eyes moved slightly.

“Alicia, did he see us?”

“…This, there may be some reason left. Go ahead and ask the question.”

“I guess so.”

Abel asked Mother.

“I know that the demon king ordered me to be captured. I have something I want to ask about that, but do you know why the Demon King wants me to be captured?”

“…Orders…Orders…”

Mother stared at Abel, then she muttered her words again.

“Orders…Orders…”

“…He can’t communicate?”

“Yes, I have an order…”

Abel tilted her head at Mother’s sudden change of tone, but Mother continued to speak.

“…My father…Told me to bring a human…”

“…Is he talking to himself?”

“Listen for a second. Maybe he’s trying to say something.”

At Celine’s words, Abel nodded her head and listened to Mother’s words. Before long, Mother’s mouth, which opened again, sounded as if a screw had come off somewhere, and contained shocking content.

“He wanted to meet a human. And he said he had something he wanted to ask….”

“…Anything you want to ask?”

A remark that the demon king wanted to ask a human, so he ordered the human to be brought. There was no one who did not know that human means Abel here.

So Abel himself was surprised, and Celine, Cynthia, and Alicia looked at Abel.

“…Hero, have you met the Demon King before?”

“No. Not at all…?”

“But why…”

Mother, who continued to speak in a voice that seemed to have lost a screw somewhere, looked at Abel and muttered.

“…So…You have to catch it. If they catch me… They will give me back my child…”

“Huh?”

Something extended down from the ceiling of the wide cavity. Abel hurriedly swung her holy sword and cut it off.

“…The tentacles.”

It was the tentacle that I saw earlier while cutting down a monster that looked like a flesh wall. Abel and his companions lifted their heads slightly, looked up at the ceiling, and frowned at the same time.

“Ah…Really.”

“Hee, hee!”

“…That’s a bit gross.”

The six-walled monster I saw before was clinging to the ceiling this time. That’s several. Seeing this, Abel was annoyed.

“…I really hate it.”
