“This is the worst . ”
After looking at the picture once more, Kang Chul-In’s expression stiffened .
The picture looked absolutely disgusting, with the cocoon filled with all sorts of creepy crawling bugs .
“So, are these bugs that you know?”
“No . ”
At Dorian’s question, Kang Chul-In shook his head .
“I haven’t seen these disgusting things before either . ”
“Hmm…”
“Well, did you investigate this case afterwards?”
“Hmm, there wasn’t really much to investigate anyway . It’s not like they had any special powers . They just smelled bad . But…”
“ . . . ?”
“I actually took out these bugs…”
“What a useless…”
Just as Kang Chul-In was about to criticize Dorian, the next picture he saw made him close his mouth .
“The shape… of a human?”
“Right? It looks as if a human was inside there, right?”
Kang Chul-In shook his head .
“But there’s no way that a human could go inside a cocoon like that . ”
“Hmm… That’s true too . Maybe a human-shaped monster then? Or a demon? That’s what I think . ”
“Well, that does make sense . So, what happened after? I’m sure that someone like you wouldn’t have stopped just there, with your curiosity . ”
“Hehe~! Kang Chul-In, you know me too well . ”
After shrugging his shoulders, Dorian continued .
“So basically, I chased the tracks along with Podolski . After all, the heat in the cocoon suggested that the thing had only come out recently . ”
“And the result?”
“Well, I found its tracks after chasing it for around 30 minutes, and after 10 more minutes, I could finally see its behind . It was like 2 kilometres away from me at that time . ”
“You’re saying this because you couldn’t catch him, right?”
“Yeah, even though I don’t know what it was… It was extremely fast . Almost as fast as you, I think . ”
“ . . . ?”
“To be completely honest, he seemed faster than you with your second phase Overdrive . ”
Even though this was somewhat hard to believe, Kang Chul-In still believed what Dorian said .
---------
At the same time .
“Ha… ha…”
The unknown existence that had run away from Dorian stopped .
Under the moonlight, its appearance was extremely hideous .
Its black skin seemed like that of an insect’s, and pus was flowing from between its muscles .
There were also a combination of colors in its eyes, making it seem like that of a fly’s .
And,
Crawl…
With insects like centipedes and worms crawling in its eyes, ears, and mouth, it looked truly like the most disgusting existence in all of Pangaea and Earth .
“Who is it!?”
At that moment .
“What is it!?”
“Is it a monster?”
“Everyone, ready for battle!’
Some adventurers who were passing by this place by chance stopped after looking at it, and got ready for battle .
“Oi, you . ”
One of the adventurers started to cautiously walk towards it, and spoke .
“Show your . . . ”
At that moment,
Kwajik!
It dashed towards the adventurer like thunder, and attacked the adventurer .
RIP!
With the sound of flesh and bones being ripped apart,
“Ahhhhh!”
The adventurer screamed in pain .
“Kek… Kekeke…”
And it laughed .
As if it was funny, and as if it was enjoying how powerful it was right now, it laughed .
Soon after,
Chomp, chomp .
After killing all 8 adventurers in the blink of an eye, it started to eat the bodies of the dead adventurers .
Cannibalism . It was the fate of this existence that was cursed .
***
The Kang Chul-In party had to search for over 2 more days after coming into the forest .
Of course, Kang Chul-In and the Ninetails were able to run at extreme speeds, but the problem was that they didn’t know where the witch lived .
“That damned witch…”
Pissed off, Kang Chul-In stabbed at the bonfire with a stick .
“Hmm… maybe I should have brought Jack too…”
Dorian said, tilting his head .
“There’s no way that a seeker could find a house, though . ”
“That’s true, I guess . ”
“Well, let’s rest here for a while, and start to search again once the sun comes up . ”
Kang Chul-In said .
It was currently late at night, and it was extremely dark in the already dark ‘Dark Forest’ . It would be much easier if they started to move again when day came .
“To be completely honest, I don’t know how my mother will respond to you . ”
During the journey, Kang Chul-In and the Ninetails talked about many things, and got to know each other better .
“Well, this girl is confident!”
The Ninetails spoke, smiling .
“After all, my husband's mother is now also my mot…”
Just when the Ninetails was going to remind Kang Chul-In that she was going to be his wife . . .
“Wait . ”
Kang Chul-In motioned for her to quiet down .
Hwek!
The Ninetails suddenly looked backwards .
Her gaze was pointed at the same direction that Kang Chul-In was looking .
With her animalistic instincts, she had also sensed that someone was coming up from behind too .
“Hmm, what is it? Something’s coming . ”
Dorian also noticed .
“Right, something’s coming . ”
Finally, Kang Chul-In stood up from where he was sitting .
And,
“Ah, I can tell from first glance . ”
With the voice of a woman, someone showed themself .
A woman that was wearing an extremely long robe that was being dragged on the ground had a beautiful appearance and sensual body and was also wearing a hat that witches would wear .
“I’ve been waiting for a long time, Julius Berlinetta Pon Aurangzeb . No, what do I call you now… The reincarnation of the Emperor of Blood and Iron? Well, whatever . I just need to show you the past anyway . ”
At that moment, one of the soldiers shouted .
“It’s her, Milord! She’s the witch!”
It seemed like the woman that had suddenly come and spoke some nonsense was the witch that lived in the Dark Forest .
