2nd Round Villain

90 – – 100, a boy who will become a great sage in the distant future – 4

Beatrice Constantino, a loyal knight who serves the demons, was preparing to camp with Nioh John. Above her head was a wolf girl, Aru, squatting.

The goblin shaman, Meta, was in the middle of summoning familiars and airlifting food for the area. It was too easy for a meta capable of managing large armies.

The winged angel, Uriel, was flying through the sky and looking around. It is to find out if someone suspicious is approaching from somewhere. Their party was classified as the strong in Masurim, but it is a place where they must not be vigilant.

“Kong.”

The two wolf ears on Aru’s head pricked up. what did you hear Aru narrowed his eyes for a moment, then only pushed his nose forward.

“Sniff sniff-.”

Aru smelled the scent carried by the wind. Beatrice, who was gathering firewood to start a fire, heard the sound and asked.

“Aru, why are you like that?”

“Kong-kwong, kong-kwong. They are coming.”

“Coming, what do you mean is coming?”

With the answer, Aru’s blue eyes shone sharply.

“Seven dragons. and witches. I’m sorry.”

“… Are you saying the seven dragons are coming?”

“Come on, I’m running fast. The target is the young demons and us.”

“Goal, ramen?”

“Try to kill us. Everyone is united.”

tall-.

Beatrice, who was carrying the firewood, stopped moving. The Niwang, who was eavesdropping nearby, also stopped.

“Is that information for sure?”

“I can hear it, I can hear it all. my ears are clear So I usually keep my ears closed, but when a strange wind blows, I open my ears. kong.”

“… If so, that’s it. Inwang, let’s report to the lord first.”

“He said he was going to see the demons. But I haven’t seen it yet.”

“He told me never to follow him when he was doing business, but… Now, this is out of the ordinary. Seven dragons leading the monsters. It’s like an exhibition.”

It wasn’t Beatrice who didn’t expect the situation to turn this way. It’s because I’ve been slaughtering all the monsters in the demon forest by following the orders of my lord Oscar.

As long as the demon beasts had intelligence, it was inevitable that they would become a community against them.

But I didn’t know that the seven dragons would join in. Beatrice calmly touched the scabbard.

seven dragons.

The three dragons chosen by Dragon King Endros. In Masurim, they are the top predators rated right below King O, and it is said that they only watch at all times because order will collapse if they jump into the law of the jungle.

For example, they are the guardians of the forest. Of course, they also have powers worthy of their prestige. In particular, Níðhöggr, a dragon with four heads among the seven dragons, is called the right hand of the dragon king and is even called one of the strongest dragons.

‘Such seven dragons are targeting us… If you were your master, you would have predicted this situation. You must seek his opinion first.’

When the leader, Oscar, is absent, Beatrice is the highest ranking member of the party. It was decided that way because she had joined the party first.

In fact, Rangwang Aru was in the group earlier, but she had already been given the position of ‘pet’ by Oscar. Therefore, the position of vice-captain naturally belonged to Beatrice.

As the party’s sub-captain, Beatrice rested her chin on the back of her hand and was deep in thought. No matter how strong they are, the seven dragons are an opponent that cannot be taken lightly. As usual, there was a bunch of annihilation without any preparation.

“Mr. John! Come over here!”

Just then, Oscar came over waving his hand from afar. Beatrice turned her head with a brightly colored face. Braided brown hair swayed.

“Lord, you are here.”

“kyung? Wait. I don’t have much time right now. I told you to come to Yohan’s business!”

“A demon? What is it?”

Oscar pushed Beatrice away and hurriedly searched for Nioh. Because of that, Beatrice missed the timing to speak.

“John, please follow me. I’ll explain as we go, so don’t ask why.”

“Lord, Lord! I have something to tell you… !”

“Uh, Sir Beatrice. Wait a minute. I mean, I’m in a hurry now. Can’t I tell you tomorrow?”

Oscar didn’t even give Beatrice a chance to talk, grabbed Nioh’s wrist and disappeared into the grass. Beatrice tried to talk to her somehow, but Oscar cut her off like a knife.

As for Oscar, he had no choice but to hasten his steps. Before Merlin Gregory summons the party of warriors, he must first take Nioh and return to the spot. Beatrice, who didn’t know that fact, was just frustrated, but she couldn’t interrupt Oscar’s words because she had the manners between a lord and a knight engraved in her bones.

“Lord! It’s okay if it’s just for a moment, so talk to me… !”

“Ehehehe, I haven’t seen it that way, but you look really nauseous.”

“Gee, it’s a squeak… ? Poetry, God?”

“Then what if you keep holding on to it if it’s not nasty! I’m not the guy who catches the woman who broke up!”

“… !”

Furthermore, upon hearing the word ‘sh*t’ from Oscar, Beatrice, who was in a daze, couldn’t even mention the seven dragons.

“Eh, demons? Where are we going now?”

“Run at once! I’ll explain as I go! And Sir Beatrice! Let no one follow, not even others! Never!”

Oscar quickly disappeared into the woods. Beatrice looked only at the back of the sphere, then realized that she had missed the opportunity to speak, and reproached herself.

‘Such an idiot… ! There’s no way there’s anything more important than the work of the seven dragons, so how could I be complacent! No, even now, follow the master… !’

pinch -.

“Kyung.”

The moment Beatrice prepared to run. Aru, who was sitting on top of her head, tugged at Beatrice’s cheeks. Her elastic skin stretched out.

“Aru… what are you doing You just saw the situation. I have no time to play with you.”

“Come on, don’t go. You can’t interfere.”

“What are you talking about? Don’t go, are you saying we should ignore the seven dragons?”

“Young demon, I want to do something important. You can’t interfere.”

“… .”

Aru’s expression was full of seriousness. Beatrice vaguely sensed that she was not doing this just for fun.

“Aru, what do you mean? Is it important?”

Suddenly, in Beatrice’s mind, the last image of Oscar, who had been urging her to “never follow her,” appeared. When I was listening, I was obsessed with the idea that I had to tell the story of the seven dragons, so I didn’t pay attention.

“Kyung. A young demon took a big human. We must not follow.”

“Um, what do you mean what should I do?”

“You must not get in the way. Not just us, but others too. Kkong-kwon.”

“Anything else… ? ah.”

Aru moved his gaze to the sky without a word. A sigh escaped from Beatrice’s red lips.

“I don’t know what your lord is trying to do, but I guess I can block the things that block your path.”

“Perhaps.”

“maybe?”

“Young demons don’t know what they’re trying to do. Strangely, I can only hear a little of the sound of the young demons. But don’t disturb me. That’s for sure.”

“Aru, you mean that even if you open your ears, you cannot hear the voice of your lord?”

“Kong, I can’t hear you talking from far away. Young demons have been like that since time immemorial.”

At Aru’s meaningful words, Beatrice tilted her head. It was a statement that left many doubts.

‘but… Is there a time or two when the lord is questionable? They say everything is full of doubts.’

However, when she remembered that the question was about Oscar, Beatrice was strangely convinced. That’s what Oscar was to her. For others, it wasn’t much different.

“So now we have to deal with the seven dragons by ourselves? So that they don’t hinder your lord’s progress?”

“Kang, maybe yes. That is the way to help the young demons.”

“However, the lord did not give such an order.”

“Young demons probably don’t know. I’m sorry.”

“… .”

“I’m trying to do something with a young demon, a big human and a group of humans. Also, we don’t want them to stand out. Even monsters like the seven dragons.”

“Did you just say a group of humans? Who else entered Masurim?”

“Kong, but we shouldn’t run into them. I hope the young demons do that.”

“If that’s the case, then maybe we won’t have to bother with a bunch of strangers. Anyway, to sum it up, the lord is plotting something with Nioh. In the meantime, the seven dragons are trying to force an unexpected attack… It is rumored that this may cause harm to the lord. I understand now.”

“Kyung-Kyung!”

Jump-!

Lightly stepping on Beatrice’s hair, Aru leaped lightly and came down to the ground. Stepping on the ground, Aru raised his head toward the sky and let out a wolf sound.

“Aww-!”

Aru’s howling is used for many purposes. One of them is to summon Uriel, who is flying in the sky. Not long after, Uriel folded his white wings and came down proudly to the land where Aru was.

flutter -.

The white cloth wrapped around Uriel’s pure white body fluttered softly. The bountiful blond hair touched the ground, but the crude lump of earth did not dare to stain the angel’s body. Even if it’s just a piece of hair.

“What happened? Lang Wang, Beatrice.”

“Keong kong! Knock-knock!”

“If you speak the language of wolves, how will they understand you? We don’t even have the archangel’s translation authority.”

“Kkong kuk kuk kuk!”

While Uriel, who came down in response to the call, asked Aru why, Beatrice sent her familiars to the forest to bring back Meta, who was gathering food. After making sure to retrieve all the familiars that were released.

“Beatrice? What are you doing?”

“Come at once. We’ll talk about it when everyone gets together.”

“Keong kong! Come, come!”

“Where have the leader and the king of men gone? I have something urgent to say to them. I saw it earlier while flying in the sky, but there was a group of humans in the forest… .”

“wait a minute. I have something to tell you before that.”

Beatrice, Aru, Uriel, and Meta face each other. Beatrice interrupted Uriel and took the initiative. Since Uriel knew that a person as upright as Beatrice would not do that for nonsense, the angel was not offended.

“Right now, seven dragons are coming leading an army of monsters. They seem to have a purpose to kill us for destroying the ecosystem.”

“What… ! Is that, really!”

“Keong kong! I heard everything!”

“Before that, the familiars who went far away used to say that the ground was shaking. East, West, South… The ground in these three directions is shaking little by little.”

As Uriel questioned Beatrice’s words, Aru and Meta added their testimony. After confirming Meta’s testimony, Beatrice was convinced that Aru’s words were true.

“Then shouldn’t you tell the leader right away! At this urgent time when the seven dragons are coming, where has the king of men gone!”

“Calm down, Uriel. The lord and king are not here. Aru said he won’t be there for a while.”

“… what?”

“Can’t find it. can’t even chase The young demons seem to have something to do. With a big human.”

“Did you hear? I just heard a voice from the lord. He told me to ‘never’ follow him. All together.”

“yes? Oh, is Oscar gone… ?”

“Maybe, maybe not. But the important thing in this situation is that we do our job. After all, the point of the current situation is that three ‘cheeky lizards’ that could harm the lord are coming here.”

Beatrice’s calm chanting. Uriel and Meta, who listened to it, were startled quite a bit. It’s because he expressed a ‘cheeky lizard’ over the extreme existence of a dragon.

On the other hand, Aru made a smile. Aru, who had lived for 400 years and obtained all the powers of King Rang, had nothing to fear.

“Uriel, Aru, Meta. Before we get attacked by them, let’s hit first. Let us make those fearless enemies who dare to attack our lord pay a harsh blood price.”

clap-.

The greatsword strapped to Beatrice’s back revealed the blade to the outside world.

*****

While holding onto the Nioh’s thick wrist, I ran with all my might. Fortunately, no one could be seen in the place where they were before, which was slowly starting to be seen.

“Asmodians! Where are you going! Please say something!”

The Niwang, who had been led to me by mistake, demanded an explanation from me. I couldn’t see Merlin and the warrior party anyway, so I slowly slowed down and tried to explain the situation to him.

“everyone! Suoka-san is over there!”

If Merlin’s cry hadn’t been heard at that moment, I would have explained the situation to Nioh. He would have taught me how to act and how to act.

Moving our gaze to where the sound came from, a boy with green hair sticking out from under his wizard’s hat was pointing at us. A number of humans gathered behind the boy.

“A demon? There are humans!”

“Mr. John! From now on, I’m not a demon! It’s Suoka! So please call me Suoka!”

Did they hear Niwang’s words just now? Seeing Merlin run towards me waving like a puppy, I don’t think that’s the case. Phew, I almost got f*cked before I even started working.

“Suoka?”

“yes! It’s Suoka! And now be quiet!”

“I get it. Suoka, Suoka, Suoka… .”

sh*t, I haven’t told Niwang a code of conduct yet. I will have to deal with the situation in an ad hoc manner. Fortunately, it’s not difficult for me.

Before I knew it, Merlin and a group of humans came right in front of me. Maybe they’re the warrior party. I raised my arm and waved. As if Merlin had explained me well, all the humans were smiling at me.

“Merlin! Come on! I’ve been waiting for you!”

“yes! These are the warrior party! however… I, who is that… ?”

Merlin’s gaze reaches the Nioh next to me. The gaze is very fluctuating. If it’s bold, it has a bold appearance, but to the eyes of civilized people, it’s just a savage.

But I didn’t introduce myself because I chose a job called a hunter for nothing. I’ve been thinking about this Nioh is more like a ‘veteran hunter’ than anyone else.

“This is my colleague! You’ve lived with me as a hunter in the demon forest for decades! It will be of great help in this ‘hunt’ as well! Right, John?”

At the same time as he spoke, he patted the king’s side. The King hesitated for a moment.

Please, you have this level of notice. just accept it I prayed fervently in my heart.

“right! I am Yohan, the hunter of the witch forest!”

oh! nice! After all, the human king is amazing! It is intelligence worthy of the lord of all things!

It was a big hurdle because I couldn’t tell Inwang in advance, but fortunately it went well.

“By the way, Suoka? I have something I want to ask you.”

You even call me Suoka by name? I said it once, do you remember it correctly? very good! If this is enough, I can give you the position of my first assistant in the future! A pup like Aru kicks his butt off!

ask anything! I feel good, please answer kindly!

“What are you curious about?”

“Like last time, are you going to kill them too?”

“… … uh?”

Holy sh*t.

Even if you ask, do you have to ask that?
