The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

8 – Diet(8)

I realized two things through the fight earlier.

First of all, how long have I stopped time? You have to remember at least a little bit. That way you can calculate the cooldown. Cooldown is an important issue.

What if the time stop earlier was on cooldown? If that was the case, I would have become a cold corpse by now and was rolling on the ground. And the second fact that follows from there.

I have a problem with my abilities.

To put it simply, my current situation was that the hardware couldn’t keep up with the awesome software. Fortunately, the software is excellent at the level of fraud, so it is covered.

Of course, there will come a limit someday. What if the sword didn’t work for the demon you were dealing with earlier? Or what if the severed head could be easily attached with its tremendous regenerative powers?

“Whoa, is it still far?”

“You’re too humble, Captain Hans.”

“…”

I was startled by the sudden voice behind me and turned around in a hurry. Querence, who had approached me, was looking at me. It’s a surprise. When did this bastard come again?

“The cleanup is all over. It’s more cruel than I imagined.”

“huh?”

“What are you talking about? Querence.”

“Look at the cross-section here. It’s cut very roughly, as if it were sawn, isn’t it?”

Quarence showed the head of the demon he was holding in his hand. Damn, I was so surprised that I almost sat down. Thanks to you, I missed the timing to explain. Querence continued his explanation.

“In that short moment, Captain Hans deliberately roughed his hand. The victim must have felt tremendous pain.”

“I see, Captain Hans will take revenge on Setia’s behalf…”

“It’s like that.”

How are you? Are they sitting down beating drums and playing janggu among themselves? This has to be fixed right now. Because later on, it will grow out of control.

“It’s not such a great feat. He’s a low-level demon.”

“A low-class demon?”

“To put it simply, he is an existence that can be said to be the head of the monsters.”

It seems that you don’t know much about demons. Margaret tilted her head. It can be enough. Originally, most of the demons couldn’t play inside because of the barrier.

“Why can’t the demons come in here?”

“It’s because of the barrier that the prosperity of Barekhan Castle opened.”

“The barrier of the holy kingdom…?”

“Yeah, if it weren’t for that. We’d been annihilated long ago.”

That day, that is, the time called the end. At first, only demons came down to this land. Because it was strong enough. In fact, they easily devoured half the continent.

However, people gritted their teeth and bought time somehow. Thanks to this, the prosperity of the Barekhan Kingdom succeeded in setting a barrier. Half of the continent was protected by barriers.

Thanks to this, the demons could not act within the barrier. That’s why the monster was created. Compared to the demons, it was an absurdly weak being. Instead, they can act in the barrier.

And those monsters were still gnawing at countless living things within the barrier. The important thing here was that Iniesta, an evil eater who was clearly a demon, was here.

“Originally, demons cannot enter the barrier. However, it is said that there are occasional cases among low-level demons who are fine even when they are active in the barrier.”

“then……?”

“That means he’s trash.”

“There is no need to belittle your major.”

I thought I had just finished the explanation. This time, Querence suddenly intervened. You bastard, you should have kept your mouth shut when you came all the way here. Actually, you were a very talkative bastard, weren’t you?

“Certainly, he’s the most inferior demon. Even considering that, he’s an existence that can easily kill quite a few monsters. Besides, this guy is named.”

“Named?”

“It refers to demons or monsters that have been named separately because of their ferocity and danger. It can be said to be 10 times stronger than normal monsters.”

“With just one blow against such an opponent…!! After all, it’s Captain Hans!”

“It can’t be denied that he had a great criminal record. Even this badass Iniesta alone destroyed a whopping 6 villages… no, now 7 villages.”

“…”

I was just trying to get past it. With Quarence’s needless explanation, Margaret’s respect, which was already too much, became even more excessive. No, I don’t know if this is my real skill.

Did you just win with your time stop ability? It even took an hour to slit his throat. this is not a take down In this place, you have to be good at self-objectification to survive.

If you do it wrong, you will be given a position that is overflowing with merits like now. In the first place, I am not the captain’s vessel! Damn, let’s finish this quickly and go back. I immediately moved on.

Kruck.

“…”

And I was able to find a huge wolf roaming inside Setia. Its appearance was similar to that of Blade Wolf, but the problem was its size. It was more than 5 times bigger.

“Mutant Blade Wolf. Indeed, if we leave this alone, we might be able to raid the refugee camp.”

“…”

“So you’re here to deal with that Blade Wolf! You’re the captain!”

It’s not. I can’t catch it because it’s time stop cooldown. No, even with the ability to stop time, that was unreasonable. When did you cut that big thing and sit there? Then Quarence stepped forward.

“You two rest. I’ll take care of that.”

Words and actions went almost simultaneously. Quarence quickly approached Blade Wolf and drew his sword. At the same time, a surge of blue black air soon split the wolf in half.

“As expected, Querence is strong!”

“…Come to think of it, you said you were from the royal capital, right?”

“Yes! They said he was a candidate for the Royal Knights!”

“…”

Was he such a great kid?

Then, shouldn’t you have taken care of that guy earlier?

This f*ck is a baby.

* * *

Today was really dangerous.

Quarence checked several times to see if his neck was properly attached. If it hadn’t been for me, I wouldn’t have been able to come back here. It was such a dangerous situation today.

Although he was a candidate for the Royal Knights. That didn’t mean it was on the same level as the Royal Knights. On the contrary, there is a vast difference. Although they can easily kill demons.

Quarence is not a demon, let alone a demon. Even if the level of the monster was a little higher, it was difficult to deal with it. Actually, I am a candidate because I like words. Even if you try hard all your life, you will never be able to follow it.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything.”

I understand the gap with the Royal Knights to the point of tears. But Querence did not sit there. Instead, he chose what he could do. That was the mission.

Returning to his residence, Quarence took out the crystal ball hidden under the floor. This crystal ball was a magic tool that could communicate with other crystal spheres by injecting magic power into them.

Although it was a very convenient tool. The price was so high that it was possible to purchase an entire estate. The reason Quarence has it is because of one mission.

[You contacted me faster than I thought? what’s the matter?]

“I’m trying to correct what I reported earlier.”

[no way… … .]

“Yes, it is.”

Previously, I had reported too hastily. Maybe I was jealous without realizing it. I didn’t want to admit that I was different. However, public and private should be strictly separated.

“I found a person to recommend to the Royal Knights.”

[…] … It’s not someone else, it’s from Quarence.]

“I’m sure of your skills. I managed to take down the bad-tempered Iniesta with one sword.”

[Wicked Iniesta? That’s great.]

Badass Iniesta. Although he was a low-class demon, his notoriety was such that everyone in the capital didn’t know about it. Because he is the worst monster that single-handedly destroyed 7 villages.

[Quarence’s recommendation. Trust grows rapidly?]

At least, the man connected to the crystal ball was sincere. Other Royal Knights candidates were already assigned to the refugee camp and were carrying out their missions. Many of them reported it.

Indeed, all the talents they recommended failed to be selected as the Royal Knights. In the midst of that, a report was finally received from Quarence. That too for the first time.

[Because Querence is stricter than I imagined. So I look forward to it more.]

“There’s just a problem.”

[huh? what problem?]

“He doesn’t want to make himself known to the world.”

At first I thought it was humility. However, he was too busy hiding himself. Querence, who wondered what the reason was, was soon able to find clues in his words.

[This means that monsters beyond our imagination are already widespread in heaven and earth.]

He knew very well about the demons. In addition, he said that monsters beyond imagination were widespread. In other words, they have come this far after experiencing numerous bloody battles in the past.

That’s why you have to know so much about the demons. However, for some reason, he stopped fighting and chose to retire. That was the situation of Hans as judged by Querence.

“It seems that something happened in the past.”

[Sorry, but now is not the time to care about that.]

“Yeah, I know.”

[Other races other than humans occupy the position of the Royal Knights one by one. If we continue like this, our seats will be smaller.]

“…”

Royal Knights, not caring about countries or races. The strongest knights selected only by their skills. Strictly speaking, it was close to granting the title of knight to non-knights.

but… … Each one of them was an unbelievable monster. Unfortunately, however, there were no humans in the position of the Royal Knights. The man in the crystal ball continued to speak coldly.

[We need a hero.]

A human hero who will save humans.
