9th Circle Lord

8 #8화't easy2

The morning of the day we decided to leave for Monster Area.

Luther stayed in the room on the second floor of the inn and was looking at the window.

The streets of Malbin, which I watched from dawn, were empty.

Drunken people and brothels who seduce them.

In the red night sky, there is a fight with the loud bangga.

Those who collapsed due to the insensitivity became prey to petty thieves and were stabbed if they were caught in a bad manner.

The body was quietly cleaned up by someone unknown, and in the morning it disappeared neatly as if it were a dream.

Luther looked at the whole process without emotion.

'Here or on the battlefield, there and there.’

It is common to rely on alcohol and women to escape the fear of dying tomorrow.

Having death by your side is hard to bear mentally.

In the end, you have to rely on something.

They did not avoid the reality they faced and held their hopes firmly, but they turned away and chose pleasure.

The end of the forked road is the result of today.

'It's a difference of will after all.'

Luther had never let go of the string of hope.

So he broke the fate given to him.

It was a result of persistent will and earnest hope.

While I was thinking about this and that, I heard a sign of popularity in the hallway.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Magician, this is Kane. I'm ready."

"I'll be right there."

Luther looked at the quiet street and lifted up his manna.

'Here we go.’

The prelude to my second life was finally about to open.

Luther sold two demons.

Horses were helpful for mobility, but lacked strength.

The cart that had to carry the monster's body could not be pulled unless it was a bull.

It was more expensive than a demon because it was an irreplaceable animal, but the mercenary guild solved it.

The branch manager bowed his head to Luther until his waist was worn out.

He introduced a mercenary incorrectly, causing conflicts with a wizard who could make a deal.

Malvin's mercenary guild deals with monsters just like the company does.

If the wizard sells the hunted monsters to other companies or guilds, the responsibility lies with the branch manager.

In an attempt to appease the uncomfortable Luther, he provided the necessary support for hunting both materially and mentally.

He bought a bull and provided a large cart.

There is bleeding, but nothing compared to the price of high-end monsters.

After the branch manager apologized, Dolken introduced the new mercenary.

He was a man with a hard impression that he would not bleed even if he stabbed him baldly.

"Grade A mercenary, Jacques."

That was the end of the self-introduction.

I thought I was quiet, but Dolken introduced it instead.

"He's the most powerful friend in Malvin. It will help you carry out your mission because you have a strong sense of responsibility and have never caused any trouble.”

"I'll hire you."

Luther readily accepted him.

After experiencing a frivolous and quiet Pierre, Jacques was accepted.

After the preparation, he set out for monster territory.

Passing through the gate, an endless stream welcomed Luther.

'I'm standing in monster territory.’

I could never forget this moment.

However, appreciation was also brief.

"This is the beginning, and the realm of high-end monsters like Auger will take a week."

Luther took heart with Kane's explanation.

He didn't come to monster territory to play comfortably.

"I'm gonna have to go.”

Don't let your guard down and let's concentrate.

Luthor, who joined his heart, went into the forest with his party.

It was a wise decision to hire Kane.

He knew how to avoid monsters.

In Goblin's domain, they used Ouger's dung, and in Oak's domain, they used the scent of herbs they hated.

Goblin was so sensitive that she woke up from her sleep when she smelled the auger.

Orcs, on the other hand, are belligerent monsters who don't avoid Ouger, but they hate the scent terribly. 

Thanks to this, the group moved smoothly to the realm of high-quality monsters.

By the end of the week, he had finally reached the realm of Ouger.

Kane declared that this was the end of crossing the Monster Zone without armed conflict.

"He has a good sense of smell, and he never misses a prey he's captured once. He's as sneaky as Goblin and as belligerent as Oak. We only have a head-to-head fight to catch them."

Luther nodded.

Until now, I avoided monsters under Kane's guidance, but I didn't avoid them because I didn't want to fight.

His purpose is to be a high-quality monster.

They reached their territory in a month because they had no intention of wasting time.

"The hunt is now on."

Luther gathered with his party to explain the plan."We'll use magic to make traps. Kane, trace Auger's trail. Elena, if you find Ouger, lure him to the magic camp. Dolken and Jacques finish the auger caught in the trap. Any questions?"

A question mark came up on the face of the party.

I know the given mission, but I didn't understand the plan.

Dolken raised his hand.

"Is it possible to make a trap out of magic?"

Everyone but Luther nodded.

I didn't have many chances to see the wizard.However, it is the first time I've heard that they make traps with magic dust.

Luther concluded simply, not those who would understand even if he explained it.

"You'll find out if you experience it in practice."

It's better to see it once than to hear it a hundred times.

Luther began to prepare for the hunt with the questioned group.

Kane looked for a good place to set up a trap.

There was a good terrain just in time.

It was Ongdalsam, which flows down from the cracks of the rock, and the footprints of the ouger were stamped on the moist floor.

When Kane designated a place, Luther drew a magic circle.

The group observed the amount Luther did with curious eyes.

The opportunity to see the wizard make a magic circle was rare.

The way they saw Luther was like a painter.

It has a circle, a strange shape, and a first-time letter engraved.

It was so dense that Dolken even got motion sickness without realizing it.

Luther, who completed the magic scene, looked at Elena.

We can't wait for them to come, so we have to lure them.

Elena, who had been waiting for her turn, finally expressed her determination with a grim look when the time came.

"I'll make it'll work."

She cut her way through the bushes.

Dolken and Kane waited for Elena with anxious faces.

The ground suddenly shook while it was quiet.

Kane said with emphasis.

"I'm coming!"

Luther nodded.

Boom, boom, boom!

The pounding sound came closer and closer.

Elena appeared through the bushes.

She appeared and ran in the direction of the magic team.

Bang!

Then dirt rose behind her.

Luther had never actually seen Auger.

The Ouger was 3 meters tall and had grayish-white skin, and grew a pointed horn on the top of his head.

He was a man's figure, but he was heavy, and he held a wooden pillar in his hand.

'That's really big.'

Luther observed Auger with curious eyes.

The red eyes glared with anger.

Elena, who was chased, clenched her teeth and ran.

Kane and Dolken shouted at her.

"We're here! Cheer up!"

"Elena! Run!"

Her hair, which seemed to have gained strength in cheering, was pushed hard to the side.

Ouger, who tried to reach out and hold her, became even more ferocious when he failed.

Reaching the magic line, she squeezed out the last remaining strength and kicked the floor vigorously.

Bang!

Auger roared after hitting the spot where she ran down a wooden post.

Crying!

The vegetation shook with anger.

Luther stood in front of her who passed the Magic Circle.

"Good job."

He cast a spell on the running Ouger.

"Greece."

The friction coefficient is zero and the floor is smooth.

Ouger, who couldn't overcome the running power, rolled on the floor.

"Wind wave."

The wind blew and pushed Ouger away.

Auger, who was rolling, stopped exactly on the magic camp.

Luther injected mana into the magic pearl.

Bang!

An angry Ouger shook his head instead of trying to stand up.

Crying!

Then he looked around his head and roared, and suddenly collapsed like a faint.

The eyelids closed as the red glow loosened.

Luther pointed to Ouger to Dolken and Jacques, who were watching with a faint face.

"Kill it."

"Oh, what happened?"

"It's like you're dead, so make sure you finish it."

Luther thought as he saw the two men pulling their weapons and approaching Auger.

"Monsters are nothing.’

It's the same to be enchanted like a person.

It was even the magic of the mental world.

He carved a hallucinating rune into the magic circle.

It wasn't just a hallucination.

It is a magical scene that shakes the mind with visions and auditory hallucinations, and then shocks it into a temporary lyric state.

It is usually used to torture or cause pain, but I didn't even know it would be used for monsters.

In addition, there was a concern that it would work well, but it was useless.

Dalken and Zach, who were approaching Ouger, faltered, each lifted a double-edged axe and a sword.

After hesitating for a while, they hit their necks with all their might.Puck!

Auger's body flinches as if he hit hard.

Still, the eyelids didn't open.

It was easy after that because I was relieved.

He diligently hit Ouger's neck like a woodcutter.

After hitting for a long time, my throat was cut off.

The two were dazed for a while to see if they were amazing even after they killed them.

Kane and Elena, who were watching, also looked dumb.

At least 30 Class A mercenaries are needed to hunt the Ouger.

They also need to lose their stamina by targeting them with top-class weapons and pitching nets, but they cannot escape being wiped out with one mistake.

He attacked such an auger so easily.

The party doubted his eyes.

Is this possible?

Luther confirmed Ouger's death and looked at Elena.

"Can you lure him back?"

Rescued by his question, she immediately checked her physical condition.

My legs were loose and I didn't have any strength.

"I can't do it right now because I don't have any strength in my legs.”

Luther frowned disapprovingly.

I was worried about making him work right away, but Luther opened his mouth.

"Elena, take off your pants."

Elena thought she was so tired that she misheard.

Kane, who was next to him, doubted his ears.

Take off your pants all of a sudden at this situation.

What the hell are you talking about?

I just didn't understand what you meant.
