046. Nila Kuvera (2)

Elle jumped up from her seat, unable to speak. Then, something white and viscous fell down where it had been. Elle raised her head and looked up at the tree and said.

“You’ve appeared. Reina, sister, step back.”

The mouths of the group that followed Yiel and looked up were wide open. A spider the size of a house was coming down, emitting a terrifying murderous aura.

“Nilla……Kubera.”

Even Icarone felt an enormous sense of intimidation from the named. Even Gerak, the strongest named he had ever met, did not give off this much intimidation. However, she said that it was not that she could not catch it, but that she deliberately did not catch it. Is she really that strong? Icarone, who was curious, took out Ray and Guido in case, and looked at Iel.

As if reading Icarone’s thoughts, Iel snickered and ran forward.

“Kee-hee!”

-Chae-jaeng-chaeng!

Iel’s movements were so fast and smooth that even Icarone couldn’t easily follow them with his eyes. Even though he attacked nonstop with his eight legs, he couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes. However, even though he continuously cut Nillakuvera’s leg joints with such superhuman movements, they were not cut off, but rather, they were slowly recovering.

“Tch.”

As she was also human, her stamina was quickly depleted due to explosive movements in a short period of time. Iel stood a little distance away, seemed to think for a moment, then turned her head to Icarone and put her hand into her bosom.

“If I get eaten by this guy, Mr. Icarone will save me again, right?”

“hmm?”

Are you saying she’s going to run wild again? Her expression as she spoke was so calm that it felt uncomfortable.

Leaving Ikarone’s blank expression behind, she drew her dagger and leapt towards Nillakuvera.

Even though the reach was short, the effect was clearly different. The black smoke affected the recovery power, as the wounds on the leg joints did not heal any longer. The black smoke, which was as thin as thread, made it possible to feel how much mana Nillakubera was a named person. If time was wasted, Iel would have won, but her movements were also clearly slower.

It was then that Nilakuvera, who had been unleashing sharp attacks, swung his legs wildly as if he was angry, and suddenly buried all eight of his legs deep into the ground.

‘hmm?’

“Kihhhhh!”

With a high-pitched sound that seemed to rip through the eardrums, Nillakuvera’s heavy body flew high into the sky. Was he trying to escape? Iel must have felt that way too, as he narrowed his eyes and jumped between the trees.

-Sssssss.

-Ssssss.

At that moment, a strange sound was heard from all sides, front and rear. A flock of pure white people filled the trees and the ground. It was hundreds of Nuberas. Yiel fixed his gaze on Nillakubera and shouted loudly.

“Mr. Icarone! Please take care of these guys!”

“It’s that simple, but…….”

Ikarone couldn’t finish his sentence because of the Nubera rushing towards him. They were monster spiders that were at least 3 meters tall. Ikarone continued his sentence as he went between the legs of Nubera, who was rushing at him, and stabbed her in the head with a ray.

“Reina, lord, back.”

“Oh, yes yes!”

Even Ieri felt that the situation was not normal and was already creating a fireball. Only Reina was terrified and clinging to Ieri’s back.

-Thwack! Crunch!

Icarone’s sword was accurate. Each move dug into the gaps between the eight legs and hit the head with precision. But there were too many of them. As he was gradually pushed back, something flashed.

-Kuaaaaang!

A moment later, a huge explosion and a blast of wind blew in. Looking back, I saw that the area where Ierie had stretched out her hand was engulfed in flames like hell.

‘As expected, the power of magic is… … .’

It was a scene where I could fully understand why magicians in any country would welcome me with open arms. It had been so long since I had seen Ierie’s magic that I had underestimated it. With her, I gathered my strength again and went to deal with the Nuberas, thinking that I could overcome this situation more easily than I thought.

“Get out! Get away! Get out of here!”

-Boom! Boom! Boom!

Compared to the cute speech and gestures, a bloody scene was created.

It was Ierie who kept using the disintegration magic that I had never seen before, whether it was because she couldn’t use the fireball right away or because she didn’t want to use it. It didn’t completely turn to dust like the werewolf, but it was enough to blow up the torso or head with one gesture, leading to death. It seemed like she was dealing with the Nuberas faster than I was.

Just when the endless hordes of Nubera seemed to be shrinking, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

-Kuuung!

It was Nilakuvera who fell from the sky with a tremendous noise. As Ikarone was nervously observing the situation, he noticed a woman with shining silver hair standing on top of Nilakuvera’s head.

-Push.

As soon as the dagger that had been stuck in her eye was removed, Nillakuvera, who had been trembling for a moment, immediately fell back to her knees. It must have been a tough fight for her, as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with one hand and spoke.

“Phew… Have you been waiting long?”

“Ah…… no.”

“Wow~ My little brother is cool!”

Ierie spread out both her hands and ran towards Iel. Since when did you become ‘my little brother’? Iel smiled awkwardly and got down from Nillakubera. The Nuberas slowly backed away from my sight, perhaps because their lord had died. Reina was still trembling behind Ierie, looking around in fear.

At that moment, Kuo, who had been in Reina’s arms, suddenly kicked his hind legs and jumped up, and was hugged by Icarone.

“Meow~.”

-Swish, swish.

Kuo licks Icarone’s hand while in her arms. It’s a habit Kuo has done without fail every day since she got blood on her hands. Icarone snickered and stroked Kuo’s head.

Following Ierie’s instructions, Yiel searched through Nillakubera’s corpse and pulled out something the size of a child’s fist from inside its stomach. Later, he learned that it was a very valuable item called a mana stone.

I heard it from Ierie before. It was said that when a wizard or a being with a certain amount of mana dies, the mana in their body is concentrated into one place and created as a stone. I heard that you can make magic items with it, but the price is astronomical.

After defeating Nila Kuvera.

After taking a break, the Icarone group was finally able to leave Creed.

* * *

As I exited the Dimrin Forest, the group of assassins I had seen at Reina’s general store were waiting for me, but they were no problem for Icarone, who had fully recovered her stamina, and Ierie, who had her mana released.

The problem is this desert. This desert, with its long name of Thrishmias, is said to be as wide as its name. Although it is officially part of the Roga Empire, it is said that as long as you don’t go towards the seaside, you will hardly encounter anything, so you are crossing the middle of the desert.

“Gasp, gasp…… It’s hot…….”

“If this continues, my face will turn completely black.”

“Pull your hood up a little more, sis.”

It was a pure white Ierie, not so much black as pale. Somehow I managed to get three camels, but speed was the problem. It was faster to walk. It had been two weeks since I entered the Three Simias Desert.

“Ellie, if you go there and join the guild, you’ll be hanging out with a lot of people. Is that okay?”

At Reina’s question, which was asked with a slightly worried expression, Iel’s face darkened slightly.

“Me too… No, it’ll be okay.”

Even with just a little imagination, a terrible outcome seemed to come to mind.

Shar is a lawless city. There will be no exceptions even if they are from the same guild. At some point, Yiel began to hate men. Usually, she can tolerate it, but when she sees someone treating a woman even a little carelessly, she becomes so angry that she can’t control it and ends up killing them horribly.

But Yiel turned her head slightly and looked at Icarone, who was walking ahead. Things were different now. In this world, no, in the previous world, there was a man by her side who she could trust. She thought that if she spent time with him, her anger management would gradually improve. In fact, Yiel herself felt that her personality, which had been growing colder without end, had changed beyond recognition in the past month.

-Kiyaa!

“Ugh!”

Icarone, who was walking ahead, swallowed the wind and jumped down from his camel. Gertion. A monster the size of a man, shaped like a scorpion. Aside from the poison contained in its sharp tail, it was not a particularly threatening monster, but when it first emerged from the ground, it was so fast and stealthy that even Icarone was surprised.

“Qoo!”

“oh!”

Icarone screamed in shock. This was because Kuo, who had been hanging on his shoulder, had rushed at Gertion. As Kuo bit the head and hung on, Gertion writhed madly and stabbed him with his sharp tail. It was a dizzying situation to watch. Icarone ran to Gertion without even drawing his sword and extended his fist.

-Thud! Thud!

He quickly grabbed the tail while striking the body. If Kuo were to even touch the tail, which contained a tremendous amount of poison, he would die instantly.

“Haat!”

-Chijijik!

Icarone pulled at the tail with all his might while stepping on the body with his legs, and the tail detached with a squeaking sound. Then he dropped Kuo, who was still meowing and biting Gertion, and pulled out Ray and stabbed him into the body.

As Gertion shuddered and fell to his knees, Icarone strode over to Quo, who was licking his forelegs, and raised both his hands.

“Kuo! What if you jump in so dangerously?!”

“Niang!”

Kuo seemed to be rather angry. The three women’s eyes became mysterious at the sight of Icarone getting angry. This was because he had never shown such a wide range of emotions. It was a fresher shock than when he had first brought Kuo there and made something like a smile.

“What on earth is that cat to Mr. Icarone?”

“Well… one thing is clear, he cherishes you more than I do.”

“Huh…….”

“Meow!”

Contrary to their reactions, Kuo simply shouted at her in a haughty tone, as if telling her to let go of his hand quickly. Seeing this, Ierie said as she watched Ikarone put Kuo down on the ground with a deep sigh.

“I think it’s because of that wound.”

It was Ierie who pointed to the scratch on her right hand. It was the scratch she got when she first encountered Gertion. Was it because she hurt herself that Kuo came out? Ikarone was thankful but worried.

“Don’t worry too much. At least now, Quo has a higher mana concentration than Gertion. That means he’s stronger.”

“Surely not…… this little guy?”

“Oh my, Sister Rie, how did you know that?”

Reina shortened her name to Rie because she thought Ierie was too long.

“Yeah, if wizards just concentrate, they can see mana. With that, they can roughly figure out the strength of their opponents.”

“Then can you also know people’s levels?”

“There are people who have a lot of mana compared to their level… but to what extent?”

Reina jumped around in surprise at Ierie’s words and asked back.

“Wow, wow! Then what’s my level? What about Sister Yiel and Icarone?”

“You’re… about 16? And the two of you….”

Ierie looked at the two in turn, and Iel and Icarone looked slightly nervous. Then Ierie let out a sly laugh and said.

“Hoho, it’s rude to those who live off of levels. And…….”

‘I can’t see it… …!’

Ierie, who was looking at Icarone, couldn’t help but feel surprised. There are two reasons why mana is not visible. Either a spell that interferes with mana exploration is cast, or the mana is too much for her to measure. Generally, this phenomenon occurs in people who are at least 10 levels higher than her level.

It was simply astonishing that Icarone, who had been far below him when he had subdued the werewolf lord Lycro, was now in a state where he could not see any mana. Ierie glanced up and checked her level.

‘Lv. 43… … It’s definitely not a low level… … .’

Ierie was once again struck by the thought that she was with some truly terrifying party members.
