The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With - The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With chapter 149

149 – Blacksmith at the Edge (4)

This is a secret route that only the most ignorant people know.

I don’t know what the bug is, but somewhere in the northern snowy mountains, there is a gap that leads to a completely different map.

The gap leads here to the demon world.

To be exact, it is not a demon world, but a walking trail for foreigners.

It was named so because it is a place where foreign media, who cannot be understood by ordinary intellects, often take a walk.

A forest of bizarre colors and shapes that clouds the mind of the viewer.

A scary place where if you let your guard down even a little, you will be trapped forever.

Passing here leads directly to the road leading to the blacksmith shop at the end.

Of course, that’s a bug too.

In a normal game route, you would have to receive quests from snowy mountain NPCs and fight against a torrent of monsters over the course of several days, but I don’t want to do that.

It’s much more comfortable here than there, and if there’s a final bastion, it’s a place you can just pass by without a problem.

But Lucene finds it difficult, so I grab her and lead her like this.

“Sweetheart, Leonard.”

“Why?”

“Can’t we just rest for a bit? I guess we can’t go on like this.”

Lucene desperately asked, crossing her thighs as if she needed to urinate.

Those flowing strange things are unknown things that live in the world of foreign media.

It draws out and embodies the desires deep inside those who pass by here.

That’s why Lucene sees me naked, wearing only a leather belt.

It is similar to Ornette’s illusion magic, but more deadly than it.

The reason it was placed here in the first place was to prevent ordinary living things from passing here.

There are a lot of people who were so fascinated by it that they gave up on going any further and stayed and died.

This is the case in the settings, and if it continues to be exposed during actual game play, the health bar is mercilessly reduced.

So, only those who have reached full stats at the last bastion can pass over.

“No. How many times do I tell you that they are all welcome?”

“That’s true, but you holding my hand aren’t welcome, are you?”

“Lucene. Come to your senses. If you stay here too long and run into foreigners taking a walk, it will be really troublesome.”

“You say you can’t? I’m so hot that I can’t go any further. Let’s just untie it once and let’s go. It won’t take long. I’ll finish it quickly.”

“Stop talking crazy and follow me. If you stop, we’ll all die.”

He forcibly dragged Lucene and continued walking forward.

In the meantime, the flowing things persistently followed us and continued to show illusions to Lucene.

The final bastion is continuously vibrating to block their attacks.

But I’m a bit curious.

If I see an illusion too, what will I see?

Maybe it’s Leana who’s tempting me?

“Leonard, Leonard, Leonard.”

Lucene called me with a trembling voice.

“I need to pee… I feel like I really need to pee…”

“That’s not urine.” Hold it in.”

“Please… I feel like I’m going to die like this… I’m asking you this…”

Even the strongest berserker on the continent is helpless in the face of mental attacks.

“Ugh…”

Suddenly Lucene sat down and his body trembled.

“Just you go… I’ll wait here…”

“No. I have to go. Wake up. Wake up.”

“I don’t like it…”

I have never seen Lucene this weak.

It wasn’t like this even when I was a girl running away from a leather shoe workshop with only a leather knife.

I always feel this, but the Demon Hunter’s last resort is the best morale skill in the entire game.

This is a munchkin.

“Come on, Lucene. Wake up. Just close your eyes and let’s go. Once we finish this job safely and come back, I’ll do whatever you want.”

Lucene slowly raised her body, trembling.

“Okay. I’m good. Come on.”

Lucene shuffled forward, her heavy muscle mass draping her arms over her shoulders.

At that time, my senses suddenly caught something strange.

Holy shit.

In front of me, something incredibly large, whose shape I couldn’t quite guess, was slowly walking towards me.

It’s foreign news.

We ended up coming here while we were taking a walk.

If Lucene had not sat down here, she would have continued to run into her without even having time to prepare.

Rather, it is fortunate.

He dragged Lucene and hid in a bush with a strange texture.

“Quiet.”

A magnificent bridge of unknown height passed in front of us with a thump.

If you touch the body of a foreign body, your mind will collapse.

If you escape from here, you will recover, but the problem is that that is impossible.

My spirit is broken on this foreign media trail, but who can drag me out?

That’s how you die here.

After the foreign media completely disappeared, I came back to the road with Lucene.

“What is that… “

“It’s foreign news. Come to your senses.”

Lucene, now completely mushy, looked at me with blank eyes.

I have to leave quickly.

“aa!!”

At that time, a scream was heard from the direction where the foreign media disappeared.

What? Is there anyone else besides us?

Is that possible?

“Lucene. Stay here for a moment. Can’t you go somewhere?”

“Ugh… “

Lucene completely sat down and lowered his head.

You don’t have to worry about running away.

When I pulled out the Nightrend, something flaccid and retreated a little.

The place where the screams are heard is not that far from here.

As I was running, I saw a foreigner walking in front of me.

You’re just walking along without even knowing what’s tripping your feet.

“aah!”

There, on the road, was someone wearing a cape, banging his head on the ground and screaming.

“Hey, are you okay?”

I ran over and grabbed the person’s shoulder.

“Ugh! No! No!! I don’t want to die!!”

The blonde man shouted, banging his head on the ground as if he couldn’t hear me.

As blood was flowing from his forehead, he hurriedly raised the man’s upper body.

Then he shouted in surprise.

“Emeric?!”

Emeric, the commander of the Imperial Knights, was crying with blood streaming down his forehead.

“Save me!! Save me!!”

Why is this bastard here?!

I thought about leaving it behind, but changed my mind.

Honestly, I was extremely curious as to why this guy was here.

If I leave without listening to that, I’m sure I’ll regret it later, right?

“Leonard…! Leonard…!”

Lucene started looking for me over there.

For now, let’s get out of here and see.

“Wake up!”

I grabbed Emeric by the collar and ran towards Lucene.

* * * * *

“Where am I?”

Lucene, lying on the floor, rubbed her forehead and asked.

This is inside a valley in a snowy mountain.

This is the place we arrived at after passing through the trails of foreign media.

In front of me, Lucene and Emeric were spread out on the left and right.

My arms are shaking like they’re about to fall off as I’m dragging them out with both hands, on the verge of mental collapse.

Lucene, the last bastion, slowly came to her senses, but Emeric was still unconscious.

“It’s strange. I don’t remember anything.”

Lucene lifted his upper body and scratched his head.

“You probably don’t remember. It would be better for you if you didn’t remember.”

“What happened?”

“I was screaming because I needed to pee.”

“Haha. That can’t be possible.”

Lucene, fully refreshed, stood up and stretched his back to her.

Then he found Emeric lying with blood on his forehead and looked at me.

“Huh? “This is him?”

“Commander of the Imperial Knights.”

“Yes. That’s right. I met him briefly last time when I was catching a wyvern, and he’s the one who got kicked out.”

“Wait, stop. Lucene.”

When Lucene approached Emeric holding the half-melted Thundermite, she quickly stopped.

“You’re not going to kill me?”

“Not yet.”

“Why?”

“I’m curious as to why you’re here. Aren’t you curious? That the Imperial Knight Commander entered the Foreign Press Promenade alone?”

“Hmm.”

Lucene took back the Thunder Might and nodded.

“I’m definitely very curious. If I kill him like this, I probably won’t be able to sleep because I’m so curious.”

Lucene kicked Emeric with her toe.

“Wake up. Hey, wake up.”

“I probably won’t be able to get up. My mind is broken and it will take some time to recover.”

“Then let’s take him to the blacksmith shop at the end. We’ll get up after we do our business. How long will it take?”

“You just have to go a little further.”

He raised his hand and pointed outside the valley.

Lucene turned her gaze to that place and was impressed.

A majestic marble building covered in white snow and reflecting the sunlight stood tall.

“What? It was really a shortcut?”

“What did I say? Let’s go.”

Lucene carried my bag and I carried Emeric.

“Uuuuu, save me… Save me…”

Emeric muttered something.

* * * * *

“Hello.”

I said hello to the gatekeeper of the blacksmith shop.

“You remember me, right?”

The gatekeeper, who was over ten meters tall, crossed his arms and looked down at us expressionlessly.

He was wearing thick fur clothes and an extremely large hammer on his waist.

“A demon hunter who uses a strange sword.”

The low voice of the gatekeeper rang out.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m here to fix some equipment.”

Lucene held up the Thundermite with its magical core exposed.

The gatekeeper’s eyes turned to Emeric, who was riding on my back.

“Behind.”

“Colleague. Not now.”

The gatekeeper looked down at us for a moment and then stepped aside.

“Go in.”

“Thank you.”

Lucene, who entered the blacksmith shop, whistled.

“This place is still huge.”

The sky-high ceiling.

A spacious interior worthy of the word spacious.

Blacksmiths move slowly between them.

They all have huge bodies like the gatekeepers from earlier.

They are giants.

Races that carry out the sacred task of refining God’s weapons.

Humans suddenly appeared, but the blacksmiths paid no attention to us.

“Where should I go now?”

“There is a blacksmith who specializes in repairing equipment. Let’s go there.”
