Chapter 70
─At first glance it was a monster that resembled a troll·
From its appearance to its body structure it seems at first glance similar to the rock troll that fought the cadets today so it would be correct to say that the species name for that creature is troll.
…but that…
‘Could such a huge troll exist?’
Five times the size of a typical troll
No maybe it’s bigger…
And the skin was dark red…
The skin is also supposed to be lumpy like a rock but that troll’s skin resembles the scales of a snake.
It is several times larger than a regular troll and has dark red skin reminiscent of snake scales.
There…
[[GRRR····]]
Creepy!!
···The entire eye is stained red as if there is blood in it·
“Hmm…!”
The wizard’s legs were shaking as he barely resisted the fire it was emitting.
Because I was so scared…
And I remember…
‘Yes I know what that is…’
The contents of an old document I read in my teacher’s room with many old books when I was young…
This is a nonsense collection of various legends and a ‘nightmare’ about an ancient species seen in an old book.
“Ghost King (Ghost King)…”
troll····
No the moment you call someone who cannot be defined as a troll by his second name…
Sigh!
I see a guy rising from the lake…
It was a fairly deep lake but only half of his body was submerged and every time he raised his body and flailed his arms the water overflowed as if there had been a flood and rocked like waves.
He was a guy who acted as if there was no water resistance and the wizard who saw what he looked like gradually backed away.
“Ghost King?”
The knight asked back to the wizard who was trembling like a weeping tree…
Do you know about that troll?
A king…
“That’s a grand title for a troll…”
“Don’t be so stupid! “The Demon King is no ordinary troll!”
I thought it might be an arrogant name to give to a monster like a demon king but considering what that troll has done it would be reasonable for a wizard to be terrified.
“You must run away too! That guy is not just a monster! It’s a ghost king! It’s a ghost king! “It’s a thousand-year-old troll!”
“···?”
“Champion of trolls! A monster that eats ogres! A creature said to have immortal power! “A kingdom slayer!”
About a thousand years ago there was an incident where a kingdom that was more prosperous than Pendragon was destroyed overnight.
Because it was an incident that only existed in literature no one knew if it was true but as time passed and relics of the fallen kingdom were discovered the record at some point became close to orthodoxy.
And the thing that destroyed the new kingdom overnight was none other than…
“They say it was a disaster caused by a single troll…”
It is said that it was an incident carried out by a single monster and surprisingly that monster is said to be a troll.
However that monster was not just a troll…
A troll that has lived for a thousand years
Just as mysterious trees lakes winds and volcanoes gain spirituality by existing for a long time ancient humans had to realize through the catastrophe of destruction that even monsters if they lasted for a thousand years would become disastrous beings that cannot be defined as monsters.
“It is the king of all trolls a creature that has evolved through the mystery of a thousand years and the pinnacle of monsters…”
Black skin stained with dark red scales·
Approximately twenty times the size of an average troll.
Sword and fire magic as well as regenerative power comparable to that of an immortal being who does not die no matter what weapon is used.
Ghost King·
It is okay to call him the Demon King but he was given this nickname because his appearance resembles a ghost.
It was like a living natural disaster that should never be touched by humans.
hani·
“You have to run away too! “Right now…!”
The wizard’s fear was simply a survival instinct that all living things had.
And the knight who heard all this explanation…
“Twenty times? No matter how I look at it it seems like it’s only five times more…”
He just made a grumpy expression…
This wasn’t because the knight ignored the wizard’s explanation or turned a blind eye to it…
It’s not like I’m ignoring the monster…
Just to be scared…
‘I can’t see it to that extent…’
Contrary to the grandiose explanation there was no sign of the power to destroy the kingdom…
Instead of trembling in fear while listening to the wizard’s explanation the knight narrowed his eyes and identified the [enemy].
The knight asked
“It looks bigger than the average troll but smaller than I heard. What do you think about this?”
“Ah I think it may be due to a lack of nutrients. It is said that the Demon King sleeps for hundreds of years at the end of the continent where humans cannot reach. Maintaining a huge body all the time is not fuel efficient so it is better to sleep for a long time. It is predicted that this may be the case… And now the ghost king was forced out of his long sleep by summoning magic and forced to come to this place… This means…”
[[-GAAAA!!!]]
“…He must be very angry because he didn’t get enough sleep and he must be feeling a huge sense of hunger due to the stress of being forced to wake up…”
To the extent that it is based on analysis…
However the analysis provided by the wizard is rarely wrong…
It was a specialty of wizards who read the world with magic.
Also if the wizard’s analysis is accurate it certainly means that the troll needs a large amount of nutrients due to anger and hunger and the object containing the nutrients is probably…
“The name may be grandiose but the root is a troll.”
All monsters eat humans
However among them the ones that especially eat humans are the monsters called troll man-eaters…
“Everything will be eaten…”
Even though I didn’t want to do the wizard’s brain I ended up calculating…
Compared to the literature how many humans does the Demon King need to consume to regain his original body?
And the calculation result:
‘All the citizens in the royal capital!’
The moment that guy leaves that lake there won’t be a single blade of grass left in the royal capital…
“Hehe it’s all over. The ghost king the legendary ghost king…”
The wizard gave up and showed a sense of helpless despair.
As he is a wizard with quick calculations he is also quick to give up on opponents he cannot beat.
The wizard lost his will to fight without even thinking about generating magical power.
···however·
“So that guy is in a very weakened state…”
“···?”
“Okay that’s enough…”
Sigh!
The knight confidently approached the lake leaving the wizard in despair and despair.
Then he drank five bottles of potion at once and stuck the syringe containing the potion into his leg.
Crump!
Originally the daily limit was two potions.
If you drink more than that symptoms of poisoning and hallucinations should appear but the article ignores this.
Now is not the time to worry about pain or side effects…
Fortunately the troll’s factor is circulating in his body so the side effects will be less than expected…
On the contrary…
“Whew I can finally live a little longer…”
It worked so well that it was a relief.
Tdu-duk tdu-duk·
Body gradually becoming lighter…
Forced awakening effect·
The bones of both legs that had been broken and burst healed and the skin regenerated.
It seemed like the blood had been replenished to some extent and the driver said…
“But a troll is still a troll…”
[[Grrr-!!]]
The ghost king does not know human language…
So I don’t understand what that little thing said…
But one thing…
In an instant the Demon King’s sense of smell caught a scent.
That smell is none other than…
“Oh this potion? It was made by hunting down cubs of your own kind. How do you think it was made well? “It’s a bit disappointing that it was diluted by 30% but…”
The smell of my people blowing through the wind…
[[GR-R-!]]
The Ghost King didn’t know that it was just a potion created by alchemists by cloning troll blood but that wasn’t the important thing…
The important thing was that it was a provocation…
How dare prey provoke the king!
The Demon King was so angry that he wanted to grab both arms of the creature right in front of his eyes and tear them to pieces.
After killing them so painfully how dare they chew their own people…!
No he wanted to kill the guy who provoked him ·
The moment when the demon king who has not yet fully filled his sleep period and is feverish all the way to his head is about to rush in…
“Would I have been so stupid that I sacrificed a leg to drown you in the lake?”
The driver kept his eyes on the sky and welcomed the rapid approach.
“Instructor! “I brought it!”
“Just drop it…”
“But…”
“I won’t get hurt…”
“Ugh!”
With a groan and force Irene Windler unleashed dozens of large harpoons carried by telekinesis.
Thirteen large harpoons used for whaling.
Percussion·
“thanks·”
The knight catches the falling harpoon and briefly thanks Irene Windler for bringing it here.
Hmm!
I gathered all my strength and threw the harpoon with all my might.
Kwaang!!
[[Grr!!]]
“The era in which you were active was probably a time when humans had not yet caught whales.”
But it wasn’t a thousand years ago…
“I’ll show you how far human cruelty has advanced.”
The harpoon that split the river hit the ghost king’s shoulder and the ghost king felt pain.
Although I could not pierce his hard scales…
Rustling·
-Because the scales that were like armor were cracked in one collision…
[[Gaa-·]]
Only then did the ghost king realize…
That prey is a formidable prey…
This is how the thousand-year-old man-eating demon and the reformed human created by human malice clashed…
* * *
Do you know what happens if you fire a harpoon like a cannon?
Simple·
A cannon shaped like a harpoon is fired.
Its power is such that it exhibits a ferocious and cruel power that hunts even the huge whale called the Blue Whale.
At one time as the Age of Exploration began it was a weapon invented by various kingdoms to hunt whales.
It was also a weapon that had not been used for a long time after several kingdoms were submerged by Leviathan the guardian god of the sea who was angry at the deaths of his people and humans first begged for mercy and forgiveness.
However humans were not the kind of people who would just leave the inventions they had made.
I modified the large harpoon to be able to catch large monsters or even to catch sea monsters that had become monsters etc.
Therefore cannons in the form of harpoons are still widely used in the field and their power and ferocity are far greater than those used in whaling.
Kwazijic
It became even more vicious…
[[Gaaa-!!]]
The ghost king was excited…
He wants to escape from the river but the harpoon still attacks him as if it is tying him up.
Even the Ghost King could not ignore the power of the harpoon flying straight in.
If the condition is normal and you consume even one nutrient you wouldn’t know but unfortunately…
“Where are you opening your mouth?”
It was a ghost king who was about to eat a fish but Lee Han stuck the harpoon into the ghost king’s mouth as if looking for an opening.
Incredible accuracy speed and power!
Quaaaang!
The ghost king’s jaw turned once…
Booth…
[[G···R···!]]
However like a legendary monster the Demon King reacted to the harpoon and showed a feat of catching the harpoon flying like a cannonball with its teeth.
It was as powerful as Lee Han no it was a terrifying force of the teeth.
however·
“You hater… So that means you’re a troll…”
[[!!!!]]
Wow!
When the liquid on the harpoon entered the ghost king’s mouth he felt indescribable pain in his tongue and throat.
A pain that feels like thousands of needles piercing…
Most poisons don’t work on trolls but that poison is bound to work…
The alchemist’s extreme poison which was specially produced and produced in small quantities even in the kingdom.
After a dramatic compromise I brought it to a princess who frowned and did not want to give it to me.
“I said I would show you how far human cruelty has developed.”
Lee Han kept his promise·
Human greed to reign at the top of the ecosystem through the competition for survival that has developed over a long period of time has created countless products.
Lived for a thousand years?
Hearing the voice of the king of monsters he even had immortal regenerative powers?
They’re not all the same…
“We hunt people like you…”
Humans are creatures that will one day use even the moon as a resource…
Lee Han cornered the Demon King in an extremely foolish manner and looking at the scene a girl wizard…
‘what? ‘Who is evil?’
[···Couldn’t it be us?]
···As they say·
‘It’s a very sorry sight for humans…’
It was Irene Windler unable to tell who was evil and who was good and showing astonishment.
─But·
Sizzling!
“uh?”
[So are you chewing on a harpoon…?]
Just as the girl’s discussion of good and evil proves to be nothing more than human arrogance the ghost called the pinnacle of monsters is ferocious and possesses a vicious spirit…
[[[Juk···in···da·]]]
Rushed in speaking the language
Even withstanding all the flying harpoons…
The guy who crawled like that…
Kugugoogung!
I stepped on the ground…
[[You are going to die…]]
“The cub is so big…”
It’s as big as three elephants put together.
Not only is it huge but it also feels overwhelming force and evil killing intent.
A feeling of intimidation that would make even an old veteran feel so cold that he would clutch his chest and vomit blood.
It was an impression he encountered directly and he shook his head as if this was not a creature that was put out there to win but…
Sereung·
For some reason unlike his tired expression Lee Han was pulling out his sword…
“···It was a bit like that since I was still trying to use long-distance attacks occasionally…”
How long can a knight of course act like an infantryman?
He waved his sword in the air a few times and smiled brightly…
“If you cut yourself until you vomit blood you’ll die someday.”
Never quit one day
When it comes to baduk or battle the moment you retreat only defeat remains…
I just calmly expressed my determination and moved forward without the slightest retreat.
