Chapter 139 - Episode Fourteen - Magic Beasts Damage (7)

In the book I read, this is how it was described about Hamelin.

-

Among the less intelligent demons, none have a more vicious nature than the Hamelin.

It is said that they often take the form of a child’s shadow or a black circle.

Basically, demons are good at manipulating the ecology of magic beasts, and among them, Hamelin specializes in this.

The most frightening part is it can command the magical beasts and using the fog to take adventurers by surprise.

Using demons for war purposes between humans is implicitly forbidden in all countries.

This is largely due to the existence of Hamelin.

With the use of Hamelin, it is easy for an individual to create a force comparable to that of a nation by utilizing the magic beasts that lurk in the land.

The raid on Fort Aspida is an example of how this was made widely known to the whole world.

(Quoted in Volk Folklor’s work: “Demons and History.”)

-

The shadow of a child, a circular figure.

The demon’s appearance, floating in the air and laughing, perfectly matches the description I saw in the book.

And the fog, the medium of the wards of cognitive disorientation barrier.

I’m pretty sure it’s Hamelin.

It’s a very rare demon.

“Shoot, shoot, shoot! Shoot that creepy bastard fall to the ground!”

A storm of arrows flew at Hamelin.

After the arrow hit him, Hamelin deliberately stretched his tongue out wide, and then moved wide, swirling through the fog, and then back to the original circle again in another position.

“Kyahahahahahahaha”

He then spits the remains of the arrow out of his mouth.

“It’s not working, dude!”

“There’s only one enemy! Don’t freak out, just keep shooting!”

No, in my estimation, it’s about to come.

I ignored Hamelin for now and looked around.

A large number of magic beasts’ shadows appeared in the fog.

“Geeeee!” “Gee, geeeeee!”

“Grrrrrr!”

“Bugooo, bugoooooooh!”

A swarm of magic beasts, nearly a hundred in number, emerged from the fog.

They were completely surrounded.

Hobgoblins, Orcs, and Garms.

The middle class and above magic beasts were all lined up in a row.

Behind them, the shadow of an even larger magic beast could be seen.

“Guaaaaaah!”

A red big bear or a venomous colored big crocodile.

Considering I don’t recognize them, they must be a rare or mutant species.

There are far more of them than I expected.

No matter how much, the scale is too large.

Did they bother to ambush such a less popular place?

In the first place, Hamelin itself shouldn’t have been that intelligent.

I can only assume that he knew that the private army would pass through here.

They had targeted this rendezvous point with pinpoint accuracy, and on the contrary, they were waiting for all the troops to arrive.

Why is that?

I can only assume that their goal was to drive the private army into a state of destruction.

It was even possible that they had placed weak magic beasts on the progression route to catch the private army off guard.

If they didn’t know the plan for thinning out the magical beasts and the total number of magic beasts mobilized beforehand, they couldn’t do such a thing.

Undoubtedly, there is a spirit user who is using Hamelin.

And the fact that it is so blatantly obvious means that they are willing to let their presence be exposed to the face of the private army.

In other words, it means that they don’t want to let any of them leave.

It was clear from the fact that they had taken the magic beasts and surrounded them here, along the cliff wall and with few faces.

“Kyahahahahahahaha”

As if to affirm my thoughts, Hamelin lets out a laugh laced with innocence and cruelty.

“As I thought, someone is being targeted……”

The question remains, but if you think about it that way, it would also explain the fact that this was a series of disasters.

It was most likely artificially caused.

That would narrow down the suspects quite a bit……but I don’t have time to think about that right now.

“Why, why did this happen! There was no sign of a magic beast at all before we came here!”

“I can’t! Let’s get out of here!”

“Is-, is there any place in the world where the siege is thin? Let’s rip it up and run.”

“With no horse! That’s impossible, you idiot!”

“Then what do you want me to do?”

The unit members were in a state of panic.

I’ve never seen such a large number of magic beasts before in my life, either.

I kicked the Asura 5000 I was riding and landed behind it.

“Go, Asura 5000!”

Asura 5000 went charging through in a straight line, flailing his six arms.

It smashed the jaws of the biting Garm and stomped the hobgoblin to one side as it wrapped its arms around the hobgoblin.

As he rammed into the middle of the enemy, he spun around at high speed while extending his arms.

While spinning at high speed, he grabbed the demons that approached him precisely and wrapped them into the rotation, turning them into mincemeat.

He laid waste to the crowd of magic beasts, creating an oversized hole in the siege.

Blood and the remnants of the magic beasts splattered around the area.

“Praise me as the God”

In addition, I let my thoughts fly away to Asura 5000.

The magical beasts turned strongly hostile towards Asura 5000.

Many of the magic beasts were able to understand the spirit language, though it was thinly veiled.

Asura 5000’s pompous language should be a good way to fuel their hostility.

“What the hell was that!”

“…… an angel?”

“I think it’s more of a demon……”

“No! That godliness is divine! There’s no doubt about it!”

“A-, am I gonna be okay?”

“…… Isn’t that the vehicle that the guy who killed Nalgarn was riding in?”

The unit members, who had been unnerved by fear, were regaining their composure as they saw their chance to win.

Euris was standing there, pale and cowering, but when she saw the unit members around her, she slapped herself on the cheek and tightened her expression.

“All hands, follow that wooden doll! Okay, if you run, they’ll catch up with you and kill you! Cover the wooden doll!”

…… No, I’d appreciate it if you’d step aside.

“I’m following God!”

“Uoooooooh!”

“I’ve decided that when this battle is over, I’m going to leave Fage territory and return to my wife! I’m supposed to be having a baby! I’m not ready to die here!”

The excited unit members, who were still in a state of panic, followed Euris’ instructions without any suspicion and chased after the Asura 5000 with a yell.

Thanks to the reverence he received, he seemed somehow more alive than usual.

This Ortem would be happy to have fulfilled his longed-for wish before his death.

“Uwaaaaaa!”

A scream came from behind.

The unit member who was entangled in the long tongue of the magic beast was screaming.

“Veeeeeeee!”

It’s a magic beast with blue-green mucous membrane skin, the Great King Vogue.

Compared to the normal Vogue, which was the size of a large dog, the Great King Vogue had a body the size of an elephant.

Its tongue can reach a maximum range of more than ten meters.

“Wind, form, blade”

As I point my wand, the wind becomes a large blade that goes straight ahead.

It severed its long tongue, simultaneously splitting the body of the Great King Vogue up and down.

It also severed the other magic beasts that were standing behind it, leaving a large scar on the ground and sending up a cloud of dust.

“Augh!”

The unit member who had been freed from his tongue was thrown out and fell on his stomach near me.

It was Clark.

Clark was covered in dirt and mucus.

He looked up at me with his mouth fluttering.

…… It was by coincidence, but I was able to return the favor.

He won’t be poking at me next time.

“…… Well, at this rate, we can’t afford to put Hamelin first.”

There are also magic beasts that have long-range attacks, like the Great King Vogue.

If we give priority to Hamelin, the number of victims caused by magic beasts will only increase.

Even if I use magic to round them up, now that the unit members are scattered so much, I can’t help but get them involved.

“Is it best to reduce the damage by cutting down on the magical beasts while neutralizing Hamelin that looked bored?”

I whirl around and twirl in the air, glaring at Hamelin.

“Kyahahahahahahaha”

Hamelin turned his large one eye to me with interest.
