Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

At the Crossroads of Choice

“Here, there is a crossroads of choice.”

We were now hiding in the bedrock and spying on the big thing that was revealed above the surface. A human-like insect is an insect with a mouth large enough to swallow it lightly.

Something like rough scales that covered his body looked more like stones or ore than scales. Even if it was mined with a pickaxe, it looked as if the pickaxe had teeth.

As if sunbathing in the sun, it opened and closed its large mouth and twisted its body back and forth. It’s a struggle to get more sunlight somehow.

“It’s quieter to throw a horse or throw it as bait and fly away.”

No matter how you look at it, it is no longer the realm of monsters. When the princess saw that, she said with a slightly nervous look.

“Because that’s the most dangerous monster among monsters, the Deathworm.”

That monster was borrowed from the Demon King by the Doge Andolf of Citadel, who has a relationship with me and Roka. He has a history of driving the main army of the Citadel Kingdom to near annihilation alone.

When I was talking to the very same Doge Andorf, I heard about the Deathworm.

At the time, I never thought I would meet him in person like this, but I didn’t forget it as it was an interesting story. I remembered it well.

From what I’ve heard, the speed at which that giant hides to the ground is astonishingly fast. Once that happens, even a Master can’t do any damage to him. This is because the earth itself becomes a huge shield to protect him.

Only when he wants to attack, he feels the vibrations on the ground and jumps out and attacks as he pleases. Between the carapaces, things like red marbles caught my eye at first glance.

This time, Ms. Kisea whispered. It seems that he also knew about the underground monster Deathworm.

“Every single red thing that looks like that eye is a gunfire. Once stimulated, all flaming bullets are fired from the hole. Then, no matter how many brave warriors there are, it is of no use. It’s not something that can be driven out with the courage of warriors. It will become a sea of fire everywhere.”

“Kisea-san, didn’t you say that we are going to escape with the clan through this path we are going now? If that’s the case, I think it’s better to knock it down now.”

He is a guy who senses vibration and jumps out. It’s usually hidden under the ground, but we were lucky to find it.

It is unusual to come to earth to sunbathe. Usually, they don’t even know if they are there, but they start by being ambushed by a guy who suddenly appears.

“I’m fine with that too. It’s dangerous in many ways if you escape with your clan and even run into that guy. But won’t it be noisy if you try to hold onto it and fight?”

“If either side is risky, you have no choice but to choose the less risky one. Can you use your full firepower to kill them before they even cause a fuss?”

“I don’t know. It doesn’t look like the body is usually rigid.”

Neither the princess nor Kisea seemed confident. It’s not that it’s not, that guy looks solid just by looking at it. It has a shape that doesn’t seem like a knife will go in even if you put a knife in it, so just being there gave you a psychological feeling of intimidation.

“If you cut the sunset, you can cut it.”

Loka exclaimed confidently. However, as soon as he looked at the road he was wearing, he lowered his gaze.

“If only you were holding a Chamwoldo. Because the way is not good, the veda will be ruined.”

In the end, it is not certain. Whether you can kill him or not, depends to some extent on luck. If the three of them do not kill even after one attack, then we actually lose.

Defeat means not achieving your goal in the end. It will make a huge fuss at once, and infiltration will no longer be infiltration.

But if you avoid fighting, the problem is that you don’t know where you’ll meet this guy next time. Other beasts are large and can be seen and avoided from a distance, but death worms have no way of recognizing them until just before they appear due to their nature.

“I’ll have to give him an answer before he’s finished sunbathing. Will it be decided by a majority vote?”

At my words, the three of them looked at each other and muttered. But in the end, I came to a conclusion.

My opinion didn’t matter. The three opinions were exactly the same.

“Let’s kill him.”

“I subjugate.”

“Cut it down.”

We agreed to knock them down quickly and pretend nothing happened. Everyone raised their arms and began to raise their momentum. No matter how you think about it, the death worm is a very dangerous monster.

“He is a guy who can make a surprise attack at any time and turn the system into a sea of fire. He can threaten the security of the Empire, so if we can defeat him now, we should.”

I also agreed with the Queen’s words. Now, he seems to be a harmless guy enjoying sunbathing, but he’s already proven otherwise in the Citadel.

If you want, you can invade the city at any time and inflict astronomical damage. This has already been proven by Phoenix.

Even if there was a risk of a big commotion, it would be better to defeat this guy and pass by here. It’s hard to meet a second chance once you’ve gone underground.

“Oh my gosh…!”

The old woman was crying and crying. Around it, people with their pricked ears flocked to them, and their faces were engulfed in astonishment.

“Oh my gosh, what does this mean now that the Queen is away?!”

In fact, the commotion has already occurred. Griffin’s body, which fell from the sky, was discovered by a roaming scout. It was easy to find because this huge thing was not buried and hidden. It just popped into my eyes.

“Speak up. did you?”

A fox woman with a droopy tail looked at the hydra from a distance and shouted. Since they had the token Epirna had given them, the Hydra had glanced at these little things. Instead, he stuck out his tongue and showed a sign of displeasure.

It is true that he ate a few pieces of the griffin’s corpse that had fallen to the ground. So the corpse was full of Hydra’s teeth marks.

It was so tattered that it was impossible to even guess how he died or the cause of death. was completely swamped.

“Elder, please calm down for now. The Queen has already said that it is impossible for a monster to kill a monster because of the demon king’s instructions.”

“But then who made Griffins like this? At least you need to find a pleural effusion. If we can’t even do that, we’re all dead!”

It is important to note that this monster is not Epirna’s, but borrowed it from the Demon King. There was no one who didn’t know that she thought of the Demon Lord terribly.

The self-proclaimed Beast King will surely blame himself for having let the Demon King down with this. It’s fine to blame yourself, but the problem is that there’s a 100% certainty that the spark will hit them too.

Epirna kills his own people at will. Even now, foxes are escorting tigers with the power of tigers, but that’s why they have no choice but to fear tigers.

All their greatness comes from carrying Epirna behind them. If that Epirna makes up her mind, the foxes are still in prison.

Maybe naked and become a monster food. At least we had to find out who did this. Only then can they go back and prove that they are more useful than the monster rice.

“Even if you don’t have a pneumothorax, you must be a master-class being. And it must have been an outsider’s work.”

“Isn’t it my neighbour’s work? I don’t know how a foreigner who is as many as masters infiltrates the kingdom for anything we need.”

“Are any of us able to make a griffin like this?”

The foxes grumbled. In the beast kingdom, there is only one exceptionally strong person, Epirna.

Even in that small Citadel, there was not a single master-class strongman who had three. The reason was simple. Because Epirna did not tolerate such a thing.

The number of masters is the national power. Normal countries want many Masters to appear even for national defense. However, the Beast Kingdom is a very poor country, so no country will invade it.

There is no need for an empire to invade a place infested with monsters, where it cannot develop even the land that exists. Neither Harmael stared at the eastern plains.

There is no external threat, and there is no reason to tolerate another Master as it has the deterrent power of being a monster. To rise to the status of a master in this beast kingdom right now is in line with Epirna’s challenger.

What’s the difference between being killed and being killed? Surveillance was so tight that everyone who was able to escape had already escaped. Most of those who remain do not have the ability or talent to become masters.

“If you are a master from a foreign country, what can you do if we face each other?”

“Elder, do you really need to keep chasing the beast? It is not something we can handle with our skills. Either way, it seems good to report to the Queen first and download alternatives.”

Of course, this fox also doesn’t have a Master. No matter how fast the foxes run away and how fast they are, they are not enough to overcome the gap in their essential state.

Pursuing a person strong enough to kill a Griffin with these skills was no different than finding a place to die. It was truly a dilemma.

“There is some truth to that statement. Yes, even if you have to endure a lot of anger, you should report it first. Everyone disperse and tell your comrades everywhere. Let me tell you to change the vigilance to a more thorough and stricter, or even top-of-the-line surveillance posture.”

Judging from the opponent’s skills, it didn’t seem that much different whether one of the pawns switched to the best guarding posture or drank and slept lazily. The eastern plains have a large land and a small population, making it an ideal land for anyone to infiltrate.

The weather is fickle, so even when the sky is clear, it suddenly becomes foggy and frosty. No matter how wide I open my eyes, if the wind blows, I can’t stand it and I have to close it again.

Even so, even though I knew it was an act of ceremonies, I couldn’t help but do it. At the very least, there must be something to show even if you are trying hard.

The foxes did this very well. You can avoid Epirna’s wrath by simply showing that you’re getting the job done.

This is called a trick, and without it, it is very difficult to survive in the Eastern Plains. The foxes are already outraged survivors.
