Chapter 25: Demon King Kyuse Descends! (11)
We were chasing the goblin enchanted by the fairy's magic.
I had to chase it. I had to find out when the fairy's spell would wear off. From what I just saw, the fairy was an incredibly dangerous beast. It's always better to gather information in advance.
Luckily, all the goblins were under the spell, so none of them could help him. It's the perfect situation to pursue him.
ㅡStaggering.
The goblin's drunken footsteps.
It started to get better little by little. As time went on, the magic began to wear off. Its duration wasn't very long.
And then.
ㅡPause.
"Gah…"
Perhaps coming to his senses, the goblin stopped. I immediately commanded Buril!
"Buril! Drop the spear and pounce!"
"Kerk!"
As soon as the order was given, Buril dropped the wooden spear and lunged at him like a wild beast! The non-human Arirang charge! Ambushing a drunkard from behind was just basic!
"Keryahaaaak!"
"Kerk?!"
The goblin, who was just waking up, had no way to counter the ferocious charge of Buril. Without hesitation, Buril executed a powerful body slam.
"Kerarak! Kerarak!"
"Kerkkerk!"
There was no such thing as race loyalty. Humans killed each other, so why would goblins be any different? Moreover, I had just witnessed them at war with each other. Anyway! From now on, I need to act calmly! I have to cast my domination magic!
"Buril! Hold him down!"
"Kerkkerk!"
Buril, who ambushed him from behind, now firmly held the goblin, just like a cicada would its prey.
"Keryoooooo!"
The captured goblin tried desperately to break free but to no avail! I reached out and twisted the creature's head!
ㅡCrack!
"Kyurip…!"
"Begin domination spell!"
I immediately drew on my inner magic. The power emanating from my heart gathered in my right hand. As I did this, I recalled the dark magic spell and formula in my mind to manipulate the magic.
Then.
ㅡZing.
A bead-sized orb of dark energy formed at the tip of my index finger. With this, if I injected it, the domination spell would be activated!
"Jigeon!"
I promptly pierced the goblin's forehead.
"Kep…!"
The orb penetrated his skin, embedding itself inside his forehead… And then.
"Kurip?!"
The goblin started to convulse violently.
"Buril! Get away!"
"Kerk!"
Buril quickly stepped back.
"Krip! Krurip!"
The goblin continued to convulse. This reaction seemed quite intense. Was something resisting from within? I kept a watchful eye on him with Buril by my side.
And then.
"Keryahaaaaak!"
Suddenly, the creature lunged at us!
"Damn it! Did it fail? Buril! Kill him!"
"Keruuuk!"
So, the success rate wasn't 100%! Now that it had come to this, we had no choice but to kill! Buril clashed with the creature, and I immediately drew my hand axe.
I couldn't waste a spear on just one goblin!
"Kek! Kek!"
"Kurung!"
Both Buril and the goblin clung to each other like snails. It looked somewhat uncomfortable as both were male. No, it would still have looked awkward, even if one was female. I precisely aimed and…
Smashed the goblin's side!
Peruck!
"Kwaaak!"
The goblin screamed in agony as it was hit on its side!
"Buril, step back!"
"Kek!"
"Die!"
The moment Buril stepped away, I rained a series of axe blows onto the goblin. Peruck, Peruck, Peruck. It was a brutally relentless attack. Taking down a struggling creature, especially one that wouldn't die easily, was quite a challenge.
"Whew…!"
At last.
The goblin instinctively protected its head and neck—a desperate desire to survive. This urgency made it more vulnerable, giving me no choice but to strike its body.
"Die already!"
"Kruk…!"
Peruck!
Peruck!
Peruck!
A murderous rampage with the hand axe. Savage hacking.
Only after this was I able to kill the goblin.
"Sigh. It's over."
My heart felt like it would burst.
Damn, that was tough.
Although I had to kill it, there was no satisfaction in brutally ending a creature that looked so much like Buril.
"Kekkek!"
But Buril seemed happy. Beyond happy, he even drooled a bit.
"Buril? You want to eat its innards, don't you?"
"Kekkek!"
Buril jumped with excitement.
Well, would he even understand the concept of cannibalism?
"Okay, I'll get it out for you. Just wait a moment."
"Kek!"
"Let's eat the innards and collect the rest to bring back."
Today's task was done.
The next day.
"We need to scout the area."
"Kek?"
The need for reconnaissance.
I felt it.
There was a goblin skirmish nearby. And I have also seen fairies twice now. This meant there could be a goblin tribe or a fairy territory nearby.
Very risky.
In the worst-case scenario, we'd have to relocate. To do that, we'd need to gather geographical information.
"Today's task is reconnaissance. Let's go, Buril. Bring the spear."
"Kek."
I had been neglecting scouting for a while. Today, we'll do a proper reconnaissance. If we're lucky, we might even find a better place to live.
"Buril, are you feeling okay these days?"
"Kekkek. Kering, Kek."
"What did you say?"
"I can't understand."
-Whisper-
Anyway, with my eyes on the opening, I surveyed the surroundings and advanced. Today, a bit further. I planned to explore places I hadn't visited before. I wasn't sure if Buril had a natural sense of direction, but even when I was confused, Buril would find a way home with ease.
Despite being of demonic lineage, I felt inferior to Buril in many ways.
"Damn it. I found fruit."
"Keke."
So, we plucked the fruits, ate, and enjoyed our journey. But was there really no apex predator around?
In the Joseon era, tigers were overflowing even behind local mountains. In such wilderness, it wouldn't make sense if there wasn't any… Perhaps they feared the fairies?
I thought of this as we traveled for several hours.
-Soft rustle-
"Keke?"
We pushed through the thickets and vines.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a vast empty area appeared.
Large trees surrounded it, creating a small meadow. It almost felt as if a wooden fence enclosed the meadow.
"This kind of terrain?"
Why was only this area a meadow?
There were no other plants in sight. Only neatly grown weeds and beautiful flowers. It felt like a small garden.
-Bright light-
The meadow was very sunlit. The visuals looked comfortable as if you'd want to spread a mat and lie down right away. Laying down and taking a nap with Buril seemed perfect.
But then.
In the middle of that garden.
In the sunniest spot.
"…!"
A slender beauty, no.
A scantily-clad, sensual woman… stood as if sunbathing, soaking in the sunlight.
-Silence-
She was beautiful.
Her ash-colored hair was lustrous and flowed beautifully. Her face resembled a princess from the woods… but her figure was truly sensual. Large chest, slender waist, and, in contrast, wide hips. Just looking at her made me salivate.
Her attire was very peculiar.
She had leaves and vines wrapped around her. Almost nothing was concealed. She looked almost naked… Who could she be?
Why was such a beautiful woman sunbathing naked in this place? This place was incredibly dangerous. It was like she was advertising herself to the monsters… No.
No way.
No.
"There's no way she's human."
A normal woman wouldn't be here, naked and frolicking…! A monster! Definitely a creature of the same kind as the fairies!
-Chill-
The thought made goosebumps spread all over my body! The tension was palpable!
-Must run-
The urge to flee intensified. But although I knew this, I couldn't take my eyes off her, and my feet wouldn't move.
"Ke, keke…! Kekeke!"
Buril's urgent voice was heard from the side. The creature was tugging at my clothes and jumping. I needed to grab Buril and flee. But…
-Sudden noise-
"…!"
Suddenly.
I made eye contact.
With the incredibly beautiful,
bare woman.
Her ash-colored eyes… were shining beautifully.
-Tilt-
Soon after, the woman tilted her head. Without any sense of caution, she seemed to be observing me.
Then.
-Grin-
With her head tilted, she started to smile.
"…"
Her smile was captivating, making me want to see it up close.
"Kererung! Keke! Kererung!"
Buril's voice seemed distant. I shouldn't go near her. I should flee with Buril… Those thoughts echoed in my head.
-Swaying-
As I approached, the woman gestured to me with a smile. She was beckoning me closer. To embrace her. She was seducing me.
Then.
-Flutter-
Suddenly, the leafy bra and panties she wore fell off. No, to be exact, the leaves forming the underwear unwound by themselves. The now completely naked woman extended her arms, still smiling.
"Kereruk!"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, there was pain!
"Uh?!"
Buril was biting my arm!
"Bu, Buril!"
"Chuckle Chuckle! Chrrr Chrrr!"
— Trembling…
Buril was almost crying, shaking in fear…! Terrified! From just having seen that woman!
"Wh-What?!"
The woman
was still smiling at me.
Our gazes met again.
"Shaaa, Shaaa…"
With her hands behind her head, the mysterious woman started shaking her swollen breasts vigorously.
— Swaying.
Matching my gaze, she flaunted her full breasts as if to show me. The woman's full chest rose and fell, making a slapping sound as it collided with her chest.
— Slap!
— Swaying.
— Slap!
Those continuously shaking breasts… The ebb and flow… And the sight of the delicately parted feminine feature below… looked so soft… No! It was forbidden! If I went near, I would die! Nothing good would happen if I approached!
"That's a monster, Buril!!!"
"Kerrr!!!"
"Run awayyyyyyy!!!"
Barely regaining my senses, I sprinted without looking back with Buril tucked under my arm!
"…!"
It felt like the woman's figure was still flashing before my eyes. But I shook it off! If I went close, I would die! She was a monster!
"Thanks, Buril!!!"
"Chuckle!"
This guy saved my life!
