Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1308. When the invaders, warriors, and prey

leaders stopped, Elio and his party finally came together.

Elio, who was at the rear, stepped forward.

“why? What’s wrong?”

The question was addressed to Count Larva Omar, whose tone was not Fabian.

Count Omar of Larva answered.

“We were talking about the mountain road. It’s a bit ambiguous whether it’s a natural path or a made path. What does it look like to Lord Lagoa?”

Elio’s gaze turned to the road in the mountain.

It seems too long to be called a natural length.

“Isn’t there a possibility that it’s a passageway for demons?”

“For that reason, there are no traces of monster droppings or hunting.”

It is said that it is not a passageway for the movement of monsters.

“If it’s not a beast or a monster… what’s left?”

Then, Fabian, who had been thinking of Hirhera from earlier, intervened.

“Could it be a demon?”

For a moment there was stillness.

After thinking for a moment, Elio said with a face that he couldn’t do that.

“Why are demons here? I don’t know if it’s northern, but this is southern. I don’t know if it’s okay to call it the South.”

“There are monsters in the Abyss, but isn’t there such a thing as demons?”

“Then why are there demons in the Abyss? Demons live in Tamion beyond the ice wall in the north.”

An ice wall called Scutum blocks the land of demons, Tamion, and the continent.

In another world, the ice wall is like a kind of barrier built by Mana Phras, the creator god that divides the demon world and the human world.

But suddenly there are demons in the south?

Even to Elio, who was not from another world, it was an absurd statement.

However, Fabian did not back down his argument.

“There is no law that says demons must only be in Tamion. Couldn’t it be the demons who lived in the south before the Ice Wall?”

“But the entrance to the Abyss was thousands of meters underground before humans excavated it. Open pit mines were probably developed after the ice walls were built. Howard am I right?”

At Elio’s question, Baron Howard Solon nodded.

“Yes, opencast mining was developed after Scutum was built.”

“Look. Because demons and Abyss don’t match in time. lets think. There were no demons in the great forest. why? Because the great forest is in the south. But how can there be demons in the Abyss? Demons are absolutely not.”

Elio strongly denied it, but Fabian did not back down.

“If you take out all these things, only demons remain. Even if you don’t understand, accept it.”

“Why aren’t the demons removed from there? If the timing isn’t right, I’ll take it off.”

“I’m not taking it out because there are only demons left after taking out everything.”

“Don’t choose what to subtract and what not to subtract as you like!”

As the voices of the two raised, Crea spoke cautiously.

“Wouldn’t it be soon enough to find out which one is right if you go down the road?”

As it was true, Elio and Fabian only blinked their eyes, but did not open their mouths.

Count Larva Omar lightly tapped Fabian on the shoulder as if encouraging, then walked forward.

Fabian, who quickly caught up with Count Omar, asked insinuatingly.

“Who do you think Sir Omar is?”

“If you eliminate those that do not meet the conditions, one will remain. don’t be impatient Whatever it is, you will soon encounter it.”

“As expected Sir Omar…”

But Count Omar of Larva said nothing more.

Fabian, who had withered away from him, also kept his mouth shut.

Contrary to Count Omar’s expectations, it went down for a long time, but nothing stood out.

In the meantime, monsters constantly appeared as if it were an unexplored land.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain at dusk, Fabian suddenly became quiet.

It’s because I didn’t see anything that could be thought of as a demon.

The winding mountain road was still suspicious, but that was all.

Elio approached Fabian and lightly tapped his limp shoulder.

It was clearly an imitation of Count Omar of Larva.

Count Larva Omar shook his head excitedly and took a step back from the two.

As expected, it was good not to talk about it with Fabian.

He raised both hands and feet at Count Elio Lagoa’s persistence.

“Fabian, it seems that the demons you mentioned do not exist. So, why didn’t you study ancient history a little harder when you were in the academy? How can I be more like a savage…”

Before Elio could finish his words, a pile of something flew from the dark forest.

Tsutsutsutsutsut-!

Surprised, Elio hastily released an aura to protect the party.

A translucent wall resembling a wizard’s shield was erected in front of Elio’s group.

Pupper puck—!

Dozens of arrows fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Seeing the arrows scattered on the ground, Elio muttered with a bizarre face.

“What is that?”

I thought it was a little big, but when I saw it fell to the ground, it was the size of a ballista, a siege weapon.

A blush turned on Fabian’s face when he saw the arrow belatedly.

That’s because it’s something that only large demons can’t handle.

“Wow! look at that arrow! Aren’t you a savage?”

Naturally, there was no way that savages lived in the unexplored lands of the Abyss.

It was just nonsense to tease Elio.

After a while, giants armed with bows and spears poured out of the forest.

Seeing that, Fabian shouted with a triumphant face.

“They are Gigantas. It’s a demon. The demons of Tamion were also in Abyss!”

Gigantas is a hybrid of Cyclops and Astaroid, and is the strongest among the giants.

Elio looked at the thirteen Gigantas with a poopy face.

One of them shouted something in a deep bass voice.

However, Elio’s party was blinded because they couldn’t understand the demon’s language.

Elio carelessly touched the ring.

It is an interpreter artifact returned by Luna Mylus before she disappeared.

However, I couldn’t understand it because it was not a human language.

At that time, I suddenly remembered the Buraqui tribe chief I met in the Akkadian mountains.

―It is an artifact called Tracer, the treasure of our tribe. I heard that the monarch does not know the language of the demons. If you use this, you will be able to talk with the demons.

Come to think of it, I have one more interpreter artifact from Pan.

Elio took out a black crystal necklace (Treducer) from Mahadam and put it around his neck.

Then, he walked in front of the demons who were radiating speculation to the fullest.

“We are the people who came down from the earth.”

Kum, the leader of the Gigantas warriors, said with an absurd face.

“what are you talking about? we stand on the ground I can’t go down.”

Elio pointed to the sky with his finger.

“I mean the land above the sky.”

“omg! They are invaders!”

At his cry, Gigantas warriors drew their weapons like thunderbolts.

The atmosphere changed in an instant, and Fabian shouted in surprise.

“Sir Lagoa! What did you say that made you so angry?”

“I came from above the ground, so they call me an invader!”

“Did you say anything else?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you good at turning inside out!”

“That is you.”

When he drew his weapon, Qom did not order the warriors to attack.

He was hesitant about the magic that humans showed him earlier.

Only a chief can block the arrows that pierce monsters with a translucent wall.

Thinking that there was such a person among the intruders, I couldn’t help but hesitate.

In the meantime, Elio spoke again.

“Why do you call us invaders? We’re not here to steal. I’m not here to fight. Who are you invading with such a small number!”

Only then did Qom carefully examine the humans.

four males and one female.

It is definitely a small number to say that they came to invade.

Besides, there was no equipment to be seen.

The male and female armament was all that they were wearing with only one sword on their bare bodies.

“Then why did you come here?”

As the conversation began, the Gigantas warriors quietly lowered their weapons.

“I am looking for a god called Ushas Undra (Golden Thread).”

“Ushas Undra?”

“So do you know anything about that god?”

“I don’t know. hey! Do you know about the god Ushas Undra?”

To Qum’s question, the Gigantas warriors answered with booming voices.

“I don’t know!”

Then the Qom turned back towards the human.

“Did you hear? I don’t know.”

“Do Gigantas live in groups too? Any Gigantas who might know about Ushas Undra?”

“If you are the chieftain, you might know. Because he is the wisest in our tribe.”

“Let me meet the chieftain.”

“It is not that difficult. I have to go to my tribe to do that, is that okay?”

“why? Got a problem?”

Elio stared up at the giant.

Gigantas belongs to the naive side among demons and is far from lies.

“If the chief calls you invaders, you die. I mean, will you follow me?”

“It’s fine if that’s the case. Killing us won’t be easy.”

“That’s a lot of confidence. Alright, I’ll let you meet the chieftain. Follow me.”

After speaking, Qom walked into the forest with the Gigantas warriors.

After talking with the demons, Elio spoke to the party.

“I asked if he knew about Ushas Undra, and he said he didn’t know. The chief said he might know, so we decided to meet.”

Then Fabian asked urgently.

“Are you going to the demons?”

“uh. Will you come if we call you to go?”

“Did you know that people are a delicacy for the demons in Lagoa?”

“Do you think only demons eat people? People eat people too.”

When Elio accepted it casually, Fabian let out a deep sigh.

Suddenly, the memory of being almost eaten by demons in Tamion came to mind.

If it hadn’t been for Count Elio Lagoa, he would have turned into shit and been scattered all over Tamion by now.

Crea whispered to Baron Howard Solon.

“Are people really a delicacy to the demon tribe?”

“It won’t be an exaggeration. In the eyes of demons, people will look like cows or sheep.”

“…”

Crea looked at Gigantas’s back with a white face.

Come to think of it, I shot the bow first.

It was clearly an act of hunting.

Count Omar of Larva spoke in detail, as if confirming it.

“Even high-ranking demons like people. They like human bones just as humans eat monkey bones. Interestingly, they say that demons that resemble humans prefer human meat.”

“Ugh…”

Crea shuddered as if the thought of it was terrifying.

“Don’t be too scared. You just have to get away from the side of Sir Omar and Sir Lagoa.”

At Baron Howard Solon’s words, Crea nodded vigorously.

Gigantas warrior Tuto, who had been following the road in the forest for a while, said to Qum.

“Do you think they are invaders?”

“I do not know. The Chief will judge.”

“Strange. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like an aggressor. They just smell sweet. How does food invade?”

At his words, the Gigantas warriors all burst into laughter.

Then Kum scolded the warriors.

“Don’t laugh. You’ve seen human magic. A warrior, not a prey. It means don’t be careless.”

At those words, the other Gigantas warriors looked cold, but Tuto was different.

“Honestly, I was so small as a human that I took the strength out of my hands. It’s because the arrow won’t let the body burst. If I had shot it with all my power, it would have pierced the magic. hey! How are you? Did you shoot with full force?”

“no!”

“You went all out on such a small prey! Don’t joke!”

As the Gigantas warriors responded, Tuto turned to Kom.

“Did you hear? You are too cautious.”

Then Kum said firmly.

“It’s already been decided. The chieftain will decide whether he’s an aggressor, a warrior, or a prey.”
