Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Legendary Hydra

“If that’s the case, then I took over a lot of these items for nothing. I thought I would return it…”

The princess who made the impulse purchase regretted it only after letting the merchants go. However, Kisea-san grabbed the princess’s wrist tightly.

“no. Once the petrification of the clan is removed, they are all necessary items.”

The items that are popular with the Beast People are the items that are also popular with the wolves. These items were purchased by the princess with money, but suddenly belonged to the wolf clan.

After the petrification was lifted, the wolves, who would be virtually bare, would need these items, so I couldn’t say anything.

[More than that, how is the operation going? I know how to infiltrate the Beast Man Liberation War Victory Museum and find the stone statue and solve the petrification. So what’s next? Are you running away?]

“I know? What do you do next?”

Kisea scratched her head.

“Have you never thought about it?”

“We plan to head north as it is and go to the North Pole. How about Kisea?”

“me? I must lead my clan back to the Empire. But it must be difficult on my own… Wait, I thought of a better way!”

Kisea, who got up suddenly clapping her hands, called us together and shouted.

“When my father wakes up, we have four masters. Let’s just hit Epirna as it is! Then the threat disappears, and you guys are safe in the rear while you go to the North Pole, so isn’t it good for each other? You are giving the tiger a Jailbreak.”

I shook my head without saying a word. I didn’t come here to meddle in this. I won’t stop Kisea-san if she wants to avenge the Jeong clan, but I can’t help her either.

If he wants to rise to the throne anew, that is something he has to achieve on his own without the help of the Lord.

“It’s a little… I don’t even have a grudge with her…”

The princess also had a perplexed expression on her face. You just looked around.

The beast kingdom is a foreign country, and Epirna is a foreign country monarch. As the imperial princess, participating in the dethroning of a monarch of another country seemed really embarrassing.

“Rocca, what about you? If I do something, will you help me?”

“I am going to the North Pole.”

“Why why? Are you a wolf too? Don’t you hate tigers?”

“Even if you tell me to hate someone I’ve never met… I don’t know, sister.”

In the end, Rocca just scratched her head. Depressed, Kisea had to come up with a new plan in the end.

“Even if you guys go, there are two Masters, so it won’t be difficult to escape with your clan. If Epirna runs away before she even notices, even if she later finds out that the statue is gone, she’ll think it’s just theft. I don’t think you’ll ever think that Stone ran away as a human again.”

Having decided to do so, we set off again. Now we have a plan and we have found a way.

I hope everything goes according to plan, but it’s not up to me whether that will happen. I hope the moment will come when we can continue the operation without any problems and part with Kisea-san with a smile.

*****

Kugugung!

As I rode the horse further, I began to feel the vibration. A heavy vibration that can be felt even from a distance. Something huge was walking slowly and approaching this way.

No, should I walk? It’s not a thump-thump-thumping vibration. A long continuous sound, close to a roar, spread slowly from far away and filled the surroundings.

He chased them away without leaving a single sound, and the sound got louder and louder. Of course, our group stopped for a moment without going any further.

Goo…

Now there are no mountains in this area, and only plains stretch out. His vision was wide open in the distance.

Something that creates a thick layer of dust just by moving it wriggling from afar was approaching. Even in the clouds of dust, a large figure could be seen. I couldn’t hide the whole body.

It was terribly big, but it didn’t seem like he saw us. It just seemed to be the direction it was heading in by chance.

“Hydra…!”

Kisea hurriedly got off her horse. We also stopped talking and got off carefully. Is that the famous poison beast, the Hydra?

A large serpent with nine heads moved forward slowly, occasionally emitting blue flames. I’ve heard stories that even a Master will die instantly if he gets hit by the flames it shoots out.

In fact, with the exception of Loka, who didn’t know much about Hydra, the other two Masters showed their bewildered expressions. Apart from being able to fight and win, he didn’t want to collide with something like that.

“We don’t need to fight over something like that, do we?”

“It is a monster rumored to be poisoned just by approaching it. We even need to test with our own bodies to see if the rumors are true…”

Both of them had a strong gritty look, and Roca didn’t seem to want to fight something like that. And in fact, even if you wanted to fight, you had to stop it.

We must not make a fuss, we must achieve our purpose as quickly as possible and disperse. There are few things that make a big fuss than touching a monster.

The nine-headed snake moved slowly. We decided to hide for a while until it passed. He made a shelter for the night and took refuge for a while.

“By the way, Langwang. Wasn’t the Hydra originally a monster that lived in the southern region?”

“Who knows that. It seems that the Demon King has summoned him. I don’t think he’s the one who used to live here. Even considering the size, the movement is too slow, it feels like I’m getting cold.”

“It’s a land where such things are rampant, the eastern plains…”

The princess and Ms. Kisea talked to each other. Loka, who had met Phoenix, was surprised to see the Hydra, and had no idea, but the princess who saw it as a monster for the first time seemed to be shocked.

“Hey, you’re broadening your horizons today.”

Even the use was that way. After seeing the monster, Azahadaka kept holding on to the princess and chasing her.

[What a strange creature. How is it, Ardain? Why not go and take a sample?]

“I don’t want to be poisoned by the hydra in a place like this.”

[Because I don’t have that much spirit. Isn’t this priest here to be used in times like this!]

“No matter what…”

The princess glanced at me and whispered into her sword.

“Of course, I believe in saints, but if it doesn’t work out, I’m just going to die. I don’t want to take on such a risky challenge.”

Neither do I want to test whether or not I can cure poison with a human life. Hydra’s poison is the most infamous poison in the world.

That’s all I know, and I don’t know the symptoms or how to detoxify it. Not sure if it can be cured. As always, it is wiser to not create a problem at all than to fix it after it arises.

In the past, when I was at the Hero Party, the slime demon king Marmanun, who was Harmael’s subordinate, mentioned Hydra’s poison. He put poison in his body, attacked our party, and when he was on the defensive, he committed suicide. He sacrificed himself to poison the party.

He certainly succeeded in healing at that time, but no one knows whether he really used Hydra’s poison or pretended to be false. Do you know Harmael?

I can’t be sure that what I healed is Hydra’s poison, so I can’t recommend such a dangerous challenge to the princess. Even the princess herself doesn’t want to do it, even more so.

“But there…”

Rocca raised my arm and pointed somewhere. bang! It was definitely not thunder or lightning, but suddenly there was a commotion across the sky. It was as if a flash of light was exploding in the distance.

“Who is fighting over there?”

It was so far away that it was difficult to tell them apart by smell, and Roka tried to stare at something far away. Sadly, the child’s eyesight was not as good as the sense of smell.

A crackling sound as if something was collided continued to resound from beyond the air, and it became quiet. It was obviously not a natural sound. Kisea muttered.

“Are the monsters hitting each other and playing with each other?”

“Either way, it seems wrong to break through quietly.”

The princess, who looked out the window with her arms crossed, sighed.

“No, this might be better. look at this. The hydra’s gaze also turned to that side.”

“Really? I don’t know what that is, but it’s attracting attention.”

“It was better. Now, let’s move quickly and break through the Hydra.”

I insisted strongly, and everyone nodded. We don’t know what that is, but if Epirna and the monsters’ eyes are focused on that strange phenomenon, we are grateful.

We left the shelter and started running as far as we could. As expected, the Hydra wasn’t even interested in us. Not even finding us, he hissed at the blast coming from the sky.
