Episode 467: The beginning of a counterattack (3)

"… … !"

The only one whose expression changed suddenly was Vikir.

This is because Vikir saw through all of Flauros' malice at the very moment the water burst out.

'Lying Leopard'.

That is the nickname of Flauros this time.

It is Flauros' habit and ability to tell plausible lies about everything.

He had the ability to make others believe the lies he told, and was adept at deceiving others with various tricks.

… Puff!

The embankment collapsed and the underground water inside burst out.

Gurgling gurgling-

A huge amount of water is gushing out toward the ground.

The water of the underground lake sleeping beneath the surface was clear and clean enough for nymphs to live in.

So, the fact that there was no water in the water source area was a false proposition made by Flauros.

… … The problem was that Flauros' solo spear was stuck where the water stream begins.

Shririk-

Two snakes opened their mouths against the stream of water.

The wave that passed by the sharp fangs instantly turned red.

Yes. As soon as Flauros opened the waterway, he was releasing a huge amount of plague poison into the water.

It was the same method used to encroach on the Usher family mansion.

"Huh!? "It's water!"

"There really was water here!"

"oh my god! "I thought I was going to die of thirst!"

"But the color of the water is a bit strange?"

"It's groundwater! "Maybe there was some dirt mixed in."

The soldiers were delighted when they saw the water flowing down the slope.

Then, I put my mouth to the light red water and drank it down.

… … The response came immediately.

"Big!?"

Those who drank or touched the water began vomiting and having seizures.

"Ahh! "He's German!"

"You turned into a German!"

"Don't drink the water!"

"Quickly call the priests!"

Because the priests quickly granted protection, the soldiers did not turn into Germans.

However, the damage that consumed a huge amount of divine power could not be helped.

"Don't drink the water!"

"Spread it backwards! "You should never drink water!"

"Don't even touch me!"

The soldiers spread the message to their comrades below.

However, the speed at which the water flowed down was much faster than the speed at which the message spread.

Also, among the soldiers in the rear, there were many who objected to the admonition not to drink the water.

"what? "Leaders, why are you telling me not to drink water?"

"I don't know. Are they going to monopolize everything among themselves?"

"This much water? Rather, wouldn't it be because if you drink something, you get diarrhea or something like that?"

"Hahaha - if that's the case, that's okay! "I have a strong stomach, so I'm fine!"

There was great confusion in the rear units.

Those who turn into poison, those who are lying around in pain, and the priests who are wasting a lot of their sacred power treating such people.

Flauros, who was watching all of this, burst into laughter.

[Ha ha ha ha ha! How about a demon hunter? Isn't it spectacular?]Flauros infused even stronger magical energy into the hand holding the spear.

The water began to turn a dark blood color.

The Poison Ouroboros was producing a huge amount of poison at this very moment.

The reason Flauros was able to spread the Red Death across the entire continent and create an enormous number of poisonous soldiers was probably thanks to the unique abilities of that spear, which was no different from its alter ego.

… Chiiik!

Vikir drew up Madame's poisonous blood and burned away all the plague poison penetrating her body.

It takes at least Madame's poison to suppress the Red Death.

However, it was impossible to block all the red death dissolved in such a huge amount of water.

Everyone in the death squad began to realize the seriousness of the situation.

The stream of water that bursts out from the source area will surely flow down the mountainside and reach Tochka Fortress.

Refugees suffering from starvation due to insufficient drinking water will definitely drink this water in a hurry, and the result will be... … .

[I told you, right? He said he would turn all Tochka's trash into Germans. I always keep what I say!]Flauros distorted his face and laughed.

The rough waves going down the mountain valley were already dyed red.

If this continues, even the relief forces coming towards the water source here will all be swept away by the current and become poisoned.

And the refugees remaining in Tochka will also drink this water, clutching their burning necks without knowing anything, and turning into Germans.

"… … ."

Bikir gritted his teeth in the face of this terrifying fact.

I shouldn't have come to the Suwon area. It was never allowed to come out of Tochka.

Even if I had to die of thirst, I had to lock myself inside the castle walls and hold out.

In the end, as a result of falling for Flauros' trick, everyone ended up becoming a poisoner.

Bikir quickly looked away.

Dolores was there, nodding with a determined expression.

"You can't give up until the very end! "Miracles only come to those who act!"

Dolores put her hands together and unleashed all her remaining divine power.

… Faaah!

The white pillar of light she created purified the surrounding waves.

But it's not enough. It is impossible to purify all of this huge waterway with Dolores alone.

"… … Ugh!"

Dolores' expression frowned.

Sweat was pouring down like rain and my body felt like it would collapse at any moment.

Right then.

chin-

There was a hand on her shoulder.

Bikir. The night hound was leaning on both of Dolores' shoulders, giving her strength.

"sorry. Now I have a place to lean on... … ."

Dolores' heart began to beat violently when she saw Bikir lowering his head as if he had no respect for her.

What she had always wanted happened.

She will probably never forget this moment in her life when the scarred hound, who never depended on others, laid its head on her shoulder for the first time.

'I can't disappoint Vikir!'

Dolores' eyes changed.

"Miracles will only be caught by those who reach out first! "For those who believe and act, the answer will surely arise!"

Dolores knocks on the door of limitation while reciting a prayer.

The resonance of the soul occurs, and a pillar of white light that is purest and purest is emitted.

And all the priests of the Quo Vadis family, who saw the divine light emitted by her, also began to purify the waves with all their might.

Paaaat!

Martin Luther unfolded an enormous divine shield and washed away the entire wave.

The elite priests of the Quo Vadis family, including Mozgus, also follow Dolores' lead and fiercely face the red current.

Surprisingly, the color of the bursting waves became clear for an instant.

The red energy was slowly escaping.

however.

[Hahahaha-Are you guys stupid?]Flauros was standing on top of a rock and laughing at the priests who were trying to purify the water.

[Holy power is not infinite, so how long do you think you can block the poison? It would be more efficient if I saved that power and used it to escape.]What the devil said was reasonable.

An enormous amount of eagle water flows down the mountain peak.

Even if we could hold out for a while, the situation was practically over.

Soon the red wave of death will hit the reinforcements.

And furthermore, the countless refugees who flocked to Tochka.

It seemed obvious that the whole world would be filled with Germans infected with the Red Death.

however.

… Quack!

Vikir was not giving up yet as he produced eight teeth towards Flauros.

[It's a futile effort, demon hunter. Soon it will become a German world down there. No matter how hard you try, your world is now destroyed... … hmm!?]However, the will that radiated from Vikir's eyes was to shut Flauros' mouth.

"Surely your poison is strong. "It far exceeded my expectations."

[…] … .]"But at most your poison has only defeated me, not the world."

After finishing speaking, Vikir burst out a terrifying light from his eyes.

"Do not look down on this world."

Bikir moved forward with all his might, breaking free from the ground he had been living on up until now.

Hold your entire body weight on your big toe and run until the tip of your forehead comes forward.

black sun. Eight slashes swirled around violently, tearing Flauros' torso apart.

Quack!

However, Flauros smiled leisurely even as he watched the blood fountain gushing out of his body.

[Hahahaha- So what does this mean? The humans down there are already finished... … !?]Moment. Flauros' expression, distorted with ridicule, hardened.

I can see the peaks coming into view, and a stream of water flowing down the peaks in the shape of several curved, staircases.

The color of the waterfall falling below the first peak is red.

The color of the waterfall falling below the second peak is also red.

… … But?

The color of the waterfall falling below the third peak was strange.

Transparent color. Clear waves. For some reason, the waves falling below did not carry the red energy of death at all.

"Huh?"

"Why is there water in the area we missed?"

"Who, who purified that place?"

The priests who were purifying the water were also embarrassed.

The soldiers at the bottom of the mountainside drink the flowing water and tilt their heads.

"what? "Why did you tell me not to drink water?"

"hmm? Are you okay? "It's so clear and cool."

"Ah-oh! Didn't the guys who went up first lie so they could drink all the water? "There are so many!"

It was just as the soldiers said.

The water that began to flow down the mountain peak was clear and transparent even though it had not been touched by divine power.

The waves were flowing quickly towards Fortress Tochka in the distance.

[Uh, what happened?]Flauros craned his neck with a dumbfounded expression.

Then the scenery below the mountainside finally came into view.

Gulp- Gulp- Gulp- Gulp-

There, a huge spider the size of dozens of adult men was drinking water, standing against the current.

A spider that buries its head in the waves and sucks in a huge amount of water.

I can see a red death with a radius of several tens of meters centered on that spider, drawing a vortex towards me and being sucked in.

"for a moment. "Where have you seen a lot of spiders?"

"no way!?"

"If it's a poison-eating spider… … ."

"oh my god! That guy!"

"Are spiders on the ground really that big?"

The spider's performance was so great that Camus, Iyenne, Dolores, Sinclair, and Circo each said something.

Bikir's expression brightened.

Baby madam!

The guy who broke up a long time ago has appeared with a much larger size and stronger poison!

However, Flauros's momentum was not yet dead.

[What can a spider do?! It's pretty big for a spider, but that's it! At most, it's just one spider!]Flauros shouts nervously.

It was an attitude of firm belief that the atmosphere of the battlefield could not be overturned by the appearance of just one spider.

however.

Ppajik-

That firm attitude was breaking down as the landscape beyond the land of the spiders began to become more and more visible.

… thud!

One more spider appeared.

It was an entity as large as the original one.

The spider that crawled next to the original giant spider also began to suck in water and absorb the Red Death.

… thud!

And next to it, a large spider appeared again.

… thud! … thud! … thud! … thud! … thud! … thud! … thud!

also. And again. Spiders keep appearing.

The number has already exceeded what can be counted.

Even the spiders that continued to appear were much larger and heavier than those that first appeared.

at that time.

What XindiWendy said a while ago came to Vikir's mind.

'Ah, I remembered Balak... … It seems a new guardian deity has appeared there these days.

They say he's quite a 'reliable friend'.'

Balak's new guardian deity. A reliable friend.

'Now that I think about it, is it already time for it to get dark like this?'

The night that had fallen around us was unusually dark.

But when I looked up, the sun was still hanging at the end of the sky.

… … So why is this place particularly dark?

[…] … !?]Flauros raised his head.

There I saw something huge, almost blocking the sky.

At first glance, it was so large that one might have mistakenly thought it was the night sky.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss… …

The leaves in the nearby floodplain are moving all at once.

It was casting an even denser darkness on the mountain peak.

Extremely.

slowly.

Anything.

Without a sound.

When did we end up here?

So much so that I don't even know it's coming

Secretly.

… … But with a clear purpose!
