Dungeon Defense

“Huff... Puff... Puff... ”

Reef breathes heavily. When have I ever run like this since I was born? When I was a child, when I made a tree in the mountain valley, I ran to the face of a jackal and died, so the leaf ran as hard as it could to remember the fungus from decades ago. Deep in the woods, deep in the woods.

“That should do it. ”

As opposed to Reef, the wizard was relaxed. She also dealt with the Goblins who were chasing a few.

“Huff!”

As soon as I heard that, Reef settled in the grass. I lay on the ground almost as if it were rolling. The roots and stones were mixed, so the floor was bumpy, but I didn't care about that. I couldn't inflate my heart, so I tried to burst. My lower stomach hurts like a sharp blade. It was because I failed to keep the rhythm of the run.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don't let the man whip. This is why women outrank men. ”

“Hehehehe… hehe, hehe…. ”

“A man and a woman's love is inferior and a woman's love is supreme. A man's love can be somewhere in the middle, but at least it's better than a woman's love because it doesn't bother her. It's old.”

A woman lays a fishing rod on the reef's face with her staff. She whispers a little something and a stream descends from the end of the staff.

“Ah. Open your mouth. Ah.”

“Phew…… Phew. ”

“That's right, that's right. You're such a liar. ”

Reef shakes his hand helplessly. The woman knew what a hand gesture meant, but she purposely kept pouring water for about five seconds. However, when there was no reaction more than a hand gesture, I picked up the staff, saying, Chet.

─ Ma-am, Ma-am, Ma-am.

The sound of the last seagull echoes through the forest. Reef was unconscious. The sense of equilibrium was blurred and I felt dizzy as if my head was full of hot steam. The woman keeps chatting excitedly next to you, but she doesn't know exactly what she's talking about.

I started to slowly regain my senses, perhaps thanks to the cold water. Along with him, I noticed a woman's chirping.

“From the beginning. I've had a different take on the nature of combat from the beginning. Hey, boss. You only looked at those who were supposed to take down Prince Marwan, right? ”

“Phew... Of course... ”

“Yes, you did. ”

The woman nods.

“To the Adventure Desert Camp, the Castle of Magic was like that in the beginning. The same is true of the other side. The Demon King must protect the Demon Castle without being attacked. But, Dantalian, he was different! ”

She whispers quickly, excitedly.

“When the adventurers were obsessed with the Castle of the Demon, the Dantalians looked beyond it. The Adventure Band. If we can defeat the Adventure Battalion, we can find out that it doesn't matter where we fight. Funnel, the difference in perception. Think of it as thinking level. I was never much of a woodcutter at the beginning. ”

“Bitch……. ”

Reef bites his teeth powerlessly.

“You like the level of thought. Damn it, the Demon King is just a coward who fled the battlefield to his advantage. ”

“What the heck.”

“Look, thanks to you, we were able to rob the Demon King's cub of gold. Except for my share, everyone died and blew it into thin air... Anyway, he's an idiot coward. ”

“I don't know.”

The woman glances down at the reef with her cold eyes as if she were watching a fat fly.

“This is why you can't be a man. I don't think the opponent lost because he lost because he made a mistake. Hey, Bob, you can only use a washing bag. He didn't run from a disadvantage battlefield, he chose a battlefield in his favor. Don't you know that? Tsk, tsk. Besides, if it wasn't for my magic, the bastard wouldn't have been able to open the Vault of Magic Castle. ”

The woman sighs. She's lost interest in the Reef.

She flattens her base like a fir tree around her.

“Yeah. It's been a while since I've had any fresh air. At least today, I think I want to live with something refreshing and right. This is gonna sound crazy, but I always want to live with elegance in my words. Actually, yeah. It's been a while since I've seen a good strategy. ”

“ ……. ”

Reef has so far considered the wizard to be a flower garden faggot. He had no choice but to correct his thoughts. The person in front of him constantly talks and mutters to himself, even though he has no one to talk to.

“The patronage plundered other villages for no reason if you go back, and if you go back further, it's because you didn't expect villages to be the main battlefields in this battle, and that's because of the stereotype of the Castle of Magic. Hmm, now that I think about it, I can see why the Goblins are so important to me. ”

“Oops.”

The Leaf rises with difficulty. If I let it go, it seemed like the woman would continue to gossip for a long time. With his mind roughly restored, he had to flee at least a little further in case of a pursuit party.

“After this battle, the number of human villages living in the mountains is only about seven. Moreover, all seven villages are allies of the Dantalians who have surrendered to the Dantalians. This will increase the number of Goblins compared to Humans. There are only 300 Goblins in all of the seven villages. The number of Warriors alone is four hundred Goblins. I can't win. ”

Dantalian deliberately tried to reduce the number of Goblins. That's what the Wizard said.

“Dantalian was looking one step or two ahead while the adventurers were looking at the battle narrowly. You even care about the ecosystem between monsters and humans! Fun, really. There's no way an adventurer could stand against.... ”

“Yes, yes. The Demon King was terribly good, and you were much better off. Suck each other's asses. I'll go first. ”

“Huh?"

The reef makes its way through the grove. First, I was going to check the location of a pretty high ridge. If you look at the geography at the summit and use it as a guide, you'll arrive in the city in a few days.

‘Fuck. We're back to square one. ’

This battle has left the Leaf in desperate need of a fellow adventurer from the Trend. When I thought about it, the desire for revenge spread from the depths of the lower stomach.

‘No, not yet. Right now, I'm focusing on getting back to the city. ’

The mountain range space was not funny enough to survive thinking about something else. Reef, the woodcutter, knows it better than anyone. After thanking you for surviving in a battlefield like hell, we'll figure out the rest later, but it's not too late. Reef walks away determined.

“Hey, where are you going? ”

Behind your back is the sound of a woman's bowling man. Reef spits on the bush.

“Where the fuck are you going? I'm getting out of the damn mountains. ”

“Huh? You shouldn't go out there. ”

The woman lets out a long snore.

“Good. I feel good. I feel good today, too. We haven't been together for days... Hey. You ignorant woodcutter. Don't take more than five steps from there. ”

“Yeeyey. You're very enlightened. If you want to follow me... ”

“I told you not to move more than five steps. ”

It was then.

─ Shoot.

Ignoring the woman's words, Reef's ankle was cut off by something.

“… huh? ”

The leaf falls swiftly. I didn't spill or do anything. Just suddenly there was no force under the right ankle. He skillfully fell with his left foot and both hands.

“Huh? Hehe? What power...? ”

Reef impresses, saying that the battlefield's fatigue has been delayed. He tried to get back up several times. However, there was no strength in the right ankle and sole of the foot. No, I felt nothing. The sensation that the sole of the foot firmly tramples the ground to support the whole body, the tension of muscles transmitted from the heel to the calf, nothing.

“What the fuck? ”

“I warned you clearly. ”

You hear a rumbling sound from behind you.

Reef looks back. The woman leans against the staff and laughs.

“Most humans have ears, but strangely few of them reach the brain. ”

“Shit, are you kidding me? ”

The leaf growls, crouching on the floor.

“Put it back in order now. Otherwise, I think he's watching the axe. ”

“Hmph. I like a tough guy, but I don't even like a close kid who knows the theme.“ When I saw the defeated dog bark for months, it made me feel dirty. Well, I feel like it. I'll tell you kindly in advance again. Be respectful. ”

“No matter where you try to manipulate this bitch." ”

The woman smiles and wields her right index finger lightly.

─ Shoot.

It was the moment that Reef felt something else passing by his waist again. He rolls on the starry floor. My senses disappeared throughout my lower back to my calves, thighs, and lower back.

“Huh? ”

There was no pain or pain.

I just felt nothing.

It's like the lower half is completely gone.

“Oh, I knew this was the right fit for me. I thought my head was exploding with sorcery from a military element I'd never learned in my life. The magic of the same damn military element! Babies don't know romance, romance. Huh? In the old days, I didn't even work magic on the elements. ”

“...... you fucking bitch, what the fuck are you doing? ”

“I cut off his soul. ”

The woman hums.

“If you explain it in detail, you'll never understand it with a brain like a rice worm. The bottom half of your child is dead. A dough corpse.”

“You bitch……. ”

“Yes, yes. Honey, you have a lot of questions, don't you? I'll tell you all about it, you're doomed anyway. ”

The woman bends at her waist toward the Leaf lying on the ground. She laughs a little, whether she feels good or not.

“I'm only going to tell you this once, so listen carefully. You're the kindest son of a bitch I've ever had before I died. Now, I'm King Barbatos, eighth in rank, and it's obvious that Pymon Fadol has been lying to Dantalian for nothing, trying to sneak up on him in case Dantalian gets caught up, being blunt as a human, and then purposely approaching your cub, and luckily, you're a sucker for bait because you think I'm a sucker. ”

“What? The Demon King? What.”

“Surprisingly, I didn't get a chance to show up because Dantalian fought so well, and it's been a long time since I met the right Duke of the Demon King, and I'm thinking about going ahead and asking Dantalian to clean up all the non-Demon Lord star junk just like the lion put his cubs on the cliff to grow up. I told you everything. ”

- Wait a minute. - And Reef raises his hand.

Lady, the eighth Demon King Barbato smiled.

She said.

“No. I told you to write your respects, bitch. ”

Barbato's index finger twitches playfully.

Reef felt something similar to a weak wind piercing his forehead. That was the end. Reef falls, not feeling, not thinking. It was a painless death.

“Turn it off.”

Barbato stands up and exercises his lower back. After the neck exercises, she looks down at Reef's corpse quietly.

“Hmm. How do you hint at a Dantalian baby? ”

She twitches her chin.

A long time later, she clenches her fist. The woman sings herself as a genius and engraves a crest on the heart of the Reef. She confirms that the symbols are not wrong, and unleashes the magic of chasing beasts and worms around the corpse.

“Great. Perfect. I'm just having a good day. I wish I had a day like this just once a year, damn it. ”

She smiles. And I walked towards the forest with a satisfactory gait. Quiet. No footsteps. Her appearance soon disappeared beyond the darkness of the forest.

─ Ma'am, Mem, Ma'am.

The forest surrounds the corpse and is full of seagulls.
