LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 78
78. The madman
Yuma didn’t think this meeting would be that useful.
‘Anyway, everyone will end up saying only what they want to say.’
Aren’t they still making their claims with great vigor?
Ruineleaf opened her pink lips.
“There is a high possibility that it is not a dragon but an infestation of demons.”
At Ruinerif’s words, the golden eyes of Berkan, the eldest son of the Wolf King, sparkled.
“Why do you think so? Is this your conclusion as a race that has been beaten a lot?”
It was clearly a sarcastic remark against elves.
So the eyebrows of the elf warriors behind Ruinerif furrowed.
However, Ruinerif did not frown.
“That’s right. If the entity opening the door to invade was a dragon, the reaction stones on the ground of Alfheim, our elven kingdom, would have shaken more violently.”
Berkan was at a loss for words when he confirmed what he had said to criticize his opponent.
Ruinerif smiled again and continued speaking.
“We are very fortunate in the current situation where we each share the land of this continent equally. The areas are clearly divided so that there is no need to divide up space, so all we have to do is protect each other’s territory.”
Ruinerif glanced at the different races sitting in the circle.
“I think what we need now is a system. A system where each party can signal when it is in danger, and one party can quickly send a signal.”
oh.
Yuma secretly looked forward to it.
I wonder if they have built some kind of incredible signal system.
Ruineleaf folded her very fair white hands together.
“As soon as the enemy infiltrates the sky, we will send birds containing the forest’s protection to wherever you are. Our high elves can check the gaze of those birds.”
Ruinerif explained with a kind face.
“We, the elves, can quickly identify where support is needed and quickly replenish our combat power.”
These b*stards didn’t seem to think about the number of ways they could get help.
It was an idea worthy of the elves who had no doubt that they were the main characters of this continent.
Yuma looked at Brigitte.
“Take it out.”
“…I guess so.”
Brigitte called her subordinates after hearing Yuma’s words.
One of the knights took something out of his subspace pocket and handed it to Brigitte.
Brigitte immediately handed the items to Ruinerif.
It was a communication notification magic tool.
“You should have one for each race. Two-way communication is not possible, but you can transmit signals by pressing a button. The first red button simply notifies you when enemies first appear. The second blue button is an emergency signal. Just press .”
In Brigitte’s words. The representative of the tribes touched the small communication device with a curious expression.
Tisha, the representative of the Mulen tribe, closely observed the circular communication device with a blank expression.
Berkan handed over the device to one of the lycanthrope tribe’s most intelligent staff subordinates.
And Ruinerif, who was the first to receive the device, had a slightly wrinkled brow.
Her face was calm even when she was arguing with Berkan. He froze when he saw the magic tool communication device.
“Why are you doing that?”
“…Magic tools are dangerous items that have the risk of polluting nature.”
“Adapt to the new culture. Use what is good, even if you don’t like it a little.”
High elf Ruineleaf twitched his eyebrows at the way Yuma spoke as if a human being who was 872 years older than him, no matter how old he was, was an elder elf who ironed herbs.
“Think about efficiency. This is an item that will completely shorten the time it takes for the birds you send to travel.”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anything to refute that statement, so I didn’t know I was even more upset.
“…All right.”
Ruinerif eventually had no choice but to admit it. What the Astes Empire has prepared is better than the measures they have prepared.
Crumbling…
Berkan grinned, revealing his teeth, which were the teeth of a wild beast.
“Ruinerif, high elf. The reason you gathered the races together was not because of any other strategy, but simply to meet us once. We wanted to gather the surrounding races together to see if there were any suspicious movements. the poor?”
Berkan, unlike the head of a wolf himself, said something very reasonable.
“Well, it’s not bad. We also thought it was necessary to take a look at the surrounding races.”
Berkan again exuded the ferocious and ferocious spirit he had shown when he first saw Yuma and his group yesterday.
“What I want is to decide the leader of this alliance right here and now. Should I call him the leader of the alliance?”
Berkan glanced at those gathered at the round table.
Yuma felt that this guy had the head of a wolf again.
With the pouring of demons in mind, the tribal council gathered together is focused on selecting a representative for the alliance leader.
“Is there anyone who wants to be the leader of the union? Miao, what do you think?”
Elfer, the chieftain of the Twilight tribe, who was sitting as the representative of the Miao tribe, snorted.
The black fur and ears reminiscent of a black cat stood out.
“You were very anxious to take the position of leader.”
Elfer stared at Berkan with brown eyes.
“I’m not interested. The only thing that matters is the safety of the tribe, so why not just anyone become the vain leader of the alliance?”
Berkan grinned and turned his head. I pass over the girl from the Mullen tribe. It seems like they are on the same side as that empire anyway.
Berkan’s gaze turned to Gar’alkulan, the dwarven warrior whose mustache hung down like a pillar.
“What do you think, Daejeonsa?”
“…Think about who arranged this tribal meeting, Berkan. Who has the executive power and control to convene it?”
Unlike the fearsome muscles packed into his small body, Gar’alkulan circled around and expressed his opinion. He spoke back, but there was no one present who did not know which race he meant.
A very useless war of nerves.
“…….”
However, contrary to the seriousness of its usefulness, tension began to build around the round table.
Just as high elf Ruinerif was about to open his mouth with a subtle smile─
“Crrrrrrrrr. Mo, my body feels strange.”
“Heken, you too. My body… my heart and throat are tightening. Oh wow….”
The lycanthropes suddenly started making strange noises.
Wow!!!
Suddenly, a series of bizarre moaning sounds erupted.
Following Yuma, the gazes of the people sitting at the round table and the beings gathered around them turned to the source of the groaning sound.
Wow!!
The source was the lycanthropes behind Berkan.
It wasn’t blood spouting from the mouth of a lycanthrope.
Out of a total of 51 lycanthropes brought by Berkan, blood poured out from the mouths of 11 of them.
What those people had in common was that they were all bleeding dark red and clutching their necks or hearts.
Karaaa!
CRaaa!!
And the eyes were all bright red.
Yuma quickly opened his ＜Exploration Eye＞ and looked at the leader among the lycanthropes.
[Lv.132] German
Race: Lycanthrope
Alignment: Neutral
Level: Master
Caution: A large amount of the demonic beast’s blood had infiltrated the body along with red poison. After an incubation period of 10 days, I entered a state of frenzy.
A lycanthrope in a frenzied state has its brain infiltrated with demonic energy, and this state cannot be reversed.
In a frenzy, lycanthropes seek to kill everything.
Until the moment your heart explodes and you die.
A state of frenzy.
Yuma came to a conclusion after looking at the words written on the note.
There is no way to return them to their original state.
‘I must kill him.’
Yuma’s thoughts flowed quickly.
Wow!!!
The lycanthropes who lost consciousness literally began to run wild.
Quaaang—!
German, the lycanthrope who kicked off the ground and jumped up in an instant, immediately threw himself towards the huge round table. The remaining lycanthropes in a state of frenzy also began to rampage through the sacred site.
The eyes were a bright red. A state in which reason itself cannot be found.
The maw of the frenzy closed in on Isheria.
Although Isherua was clearly strong in an objective sense, he did not reach master level.
I couldn’t help but be intimidated by the sight of a master-level lycanthrope rushing towards me just to kill me.
And the person immediately to the left of Isherua was Yuma.
In an instant, he picked up the [Black Dragon Bernak’s Tooth] that was sitting on his waist.
Kwa–Ah!!
He struck the side of the lycanthrope German’s head with the sword held in reverse, causing the head itself to bounce off.
＜Absolute Counterattack＞
It’s bittersweet—!
A scythe-shaped intangible energy swept diagonally across German’s body.
It was a natural result that I lost my ability to breathe.
Jeopuk
“It’s a madman.”
Yuma spoke quietly and gestured with his chin toward Berkan.
“You know you have to kill him.”
Berkan looked at his subordinate pressed to the floor.
“…Know.”
A dark red airflow was flowing over the lycanthrope’s body. It was evidence that he had been completely eroded by demonic energy.
Quad deuk!
His cervical spine was completely crushed, taking his life away.
Quad deud deuk!
Yuma used Balmung to block another approaching lycanthrope and used his bonsai to target two lycanthropes that were attacking him from behind.
＜Absolute Counterattack—Bonsai＞
Quaaa!!
The three upper bodies were pierced by intangible energy at the same time.
There were a total of 4 lycanthropes that Yuma killed.
There are 4 Berkans.
There were two Elf Grand Sword Masters standing behind Ruineleaf.
“after.”
Bell pulled out his sword with a stern expression.
The other one died at Belle’s hand.
It was the commotion of crazy wolves that suddenly arose.
Yuma walked slowly while holding Balmung.
Jeopuk
[Lv.217] Berkan
Towards Berkan.
Berkan stared at Yuma approaching him with a stern expression.
A man who went berserk and instantly killed two of his master-level subordinates.
“Berkan.”
There isn’t even an ounce of energy that the man exudes.
Just seeing this strange thing walking gave me a terrifying sense of intimidation.
“If you consider what your subordinates said before they went crazy, they would not have intentionally swallowed demonic energy. Now is the time, so we need to thoroughly understand the circumstances.”
Sereung─
Balmung’s blade was aimed at Berkan’s neck.
“Prove yourself and your species’ innocence, Lycanthrope Berkan.”
