205. Jager (5)
#205
“Over there… there is Jaifa.”
“yes?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. Suddenly she had no idea what this meant. Why is Jaipa, who went to the south to hunt Nebula Clazier, here?
“That can’t be possible. “How is Jaifa here?”
“I know. But… this energy is definitely…”
Adeshan’s breathing was becoming heavier. The werewolf, whose mind had been released, fell to his knees. Ronan repeated it over and over again.
“It can’t be. “There must have been a contract with the Emperor.”
It was fundamentally impossible for Jaifa to be here in the first place. The covenant he made with the emperor included a clause not to set foot on northern lands. His intention was to prevent his compatriots from rallying together again to revolt.
If this is violated, Jaifa’s heart will burst and he will die. Because it was a blood oath, not an ordinary oath. Therefore, Adeshan’s claim could not be established.
It must have been a mistake in detecting other mana. Even monkeys fall from trees sometimes. Ronan laughed and closed his eyes.
“Just wait. “I will see.”
“Yes. But Ronan, really…”
Adeshan said something, but Ronan, who was in a state of concentration, could not hear her. The senses that were slowly expanding reached out beyond the door. Ronan, who soon sensed her familiar presence, frowned at her.
“Nonsense.”
I couldn’t believe it. I could really feel Jaifa’s presence inside the door. It was impossible to be confused by the electric force that made the hairs on my entire body stand up.
‘Fuck. ‘What happened?’
I couldn’t understand the current situation. However, what had to be done was decided. Ronan and Adeshan exchanged glances and walked towards the gate. The closer I got to the door, the stronger the energy of Jaipa became. Adeshan chanted again.
“There is no doubt… this is Jaifa.”
Ronan didn’t answer. Whatever was out there, I had to see for myself. Two people arrived at the front door and held each doorknob.
“I’ll open it.”
“huh.”
After exchanging simple signals, they pushed the door together. The huge double doors were as heavy as their size and opened with a loud sound. Ronan and Adeshan simultaneously froze at the vast landscape unfolding before their eyes.
“···ah?”
The space was dozens of times larger than I thought. The room was open in all directions, and the ceiling was so high that you had to tilt your head completely to look up. It was no exaggeration to say that about half of the main castle was used to prepare this room.
Gorgeous furniture and decorations that could only be found in the Grancia mansion were also noticed. The luxurious items that filled the space made them forget for a moment that they had come to an old fortress that was hundreds of years old. On one side of the wall hung a portrait of Jager wearing the emperor’s clothes. And that too in a very large size.
But what shocked Ronan and Adeshan was not such trivial elements. A group of fully armed beastmen were lined up horizontally, glaring at them. Ronan cursed involuntarily at the wall of beasts crossing the room.
“Oh my god…”
There seemed to be about fifty of them. It was different from the junkies I had dealt with so far. Lions, tigers, rhinos, reindeer, etc. were all large and fierce-looking beasts, each one giving off the aura of a strong man.
Because I was so focused on Jaipa, I couldn’t detect their presence. There was a silence that seemed as if time had stopped. A loud laugh erupted from somewhere.
“Khihahaha! “You’re right, they really came for me!”
It was a laugh that I had heard many times before. Ronan turned his head in the direction of the sound. Beyond the barrier of beastmen, in the deepest part of the room, a were tiger wearing an eyepatch was laughing and shaking her shoulders.
Leather with a clear contrast between black and white, and a handsome appearance that gives off a certain elegance even when smiling like that. Ronan recognized him immediately and raised his eyebrows.
“Jager.”
It was definitely Jager. The shiny appearance was still the same. As fate changed, something seemed to have happened, and signs that he had become much stronger compared to his previous life were also noticed. Igeo, who had stopped laughing, turned his back and opened his mouth.
“Hehehe, I was waiting for you, human!”
“Did you know I was coming?”
“I know. I knew that you wanted to kill me and disband the God-Beast-Man Union, and that you infiltrated the main character to do so. “Did you think things would work out so easily?”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. For some reason, I thought the number of people was drastically reduced from the middle, but it seemed like I had fallen into a trap. Jager continued.
“Hehehe, you’re such an unlucky guy. If it weren’t for my friend, I would have been able to launch a surprise attack on Jager. “The operation itself, disguising himself as a prisoner and infiltrating, was good.”
“friend?”
Instead of answering, Jager just chuckled. It seemed like there was someone who noticed the plan and tipped it off. Suddenly, a mysterious person standing next to Jager caught my eye.
“That is…”
The giant, who was one head taller than Jager, was wearing a dark red robe that completely covered his face. It seemed that the ‘advisor’ mentioned by the prison guards was the author. For a moment, Ronan’s face hardened.
“···Zaifa?”
Looking closer, I could feel it more clearly. Jaipa’s energy, which he sensed from beyond the door, was radiating from him. The outline of the body covered by the robe was very similar to Jaipa’s. Ronan took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Is it really you?”
No answer came back. Ronan twisted his lips. In fact, only his face was not revealed, and it was no exaggeration to say that his identity had already been revealed. Even if everything else was a coincidence, this unique, sinister energy was unique and could not be replaced like an auror.
Indescribable questions, feelings of betrayal, and anger were raising their heads one by one. The warning about Zaipa that Nabirose constantly insisted on rang in my ears. Mark my words, Ronan. Jaifa is dangerous.
“Say something, you son of a bitch.”
Ronan growled harshly. Again, the advisor did not answer. He was staring at Ronan and Adeshan, then turned to Jager and said.
“I must kill you here. “Do not forget my words.”
Ronan twisted his lips. The low, deep voice was also something I had heard many times before. It was laughing, wiggling its tail here and there.
“Haha, don’t worry. Because I and my SS are invincible. “Why not use the treasure you gave me here?”
“Then, I will go.”
The advisor who said that turned his back. At the same time, a strong current of mana rose like wildfire over his shoulders. Ronan’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
“what?!”
The mana emitted by the advisor was sparkling like the night sky seen on a clear day. In an instant, Ronan’s mind turned completely white. It was definitely the blinking mana that was the symbol of Nebula Clage.
‘Why is Nebula Clazie’s mana taken away from Jaifa…’
Now it has gotten to the point where I don’t know what is what. Dozens of hopeless scenarios were flashing through Ronan’s mind. Suddenly, the advisor took out a scroll and unfolded it. The space around it distorted, and a portal that looked like a crack appeared. Adeshan screamed.
“Ro, Ronan!”
“Damn it, stand!”
I was momentarily lost in this shocking situation. I had to catch it and see what was going on. Ronan pulled at the hilt of his sword. As the sword body dyed in scarlet was pulled out, a swarm of light was shot out that attracted the opponent. Paaaa…! The advisor and a weardeer in the middle appeared before Ronan’s eyes.
“What is this…!”
“W-what?!”
The two people were embarrassed as they faced an unknown situation. As Ronan grasped the hilt of her sword, her blade turned as red as her blood. If the advisor was really Jaipa, he should not have been left in his hands. Ronan spun sideways and swung his sword. As the slash passed so quickly that it was imperceptible, a red line was drawn over the abdomen of the two people. It was a moment when a sharp sound of a wave sounded. Pow! The weardeer’s body split upwards and downwards.
“Muiiiiiik?!”
Wedere’s eyes widened. The body, separated by the waist, fell to the floor. Fresh blood spurted out onto the advisor’s robes.
“Ugh…!”
“Damn it.”
Ronan gritted his teeth. He could instinctively feel that the bones and internal organs had not been cut away. His original skin was hard, and unlike Gurney and Wear Deer, he pulled back immediately after being struck by the sword. It was the car he was about to strike with his second sword. Kwasik! The advisor’s kick flew like a thunderbolt and penetrated deep into Ronan’s chest.
“Wow!”
Even when I was hit by an ogre, it wasn’t like this. Ronan’s body bent forward. bang! He flew all the way to the gate and fell to the floor. Ronan, who had barely caught his breath, gritted his teeth.
‘I almost fell.’
It was such a shock that you wouldn’t believe it even if the ship had been pierced. She might have been killed or maimed if she hadn’t immediately put down the knife and blocked it. Ronan, who spat out blood, raised his head. The advisor was glaring in this direction, clutching the wound on his stomach. Ronan, who staggered to his feet, burst into laughter.
“Hehehe, it looks like it hurt quite a bit.”
“dare···!”
It seemed like the wound was deeper on that side. A dark red puddle had formed under the advisor’s feet. The sparkling mana that became more intense was spreading out over his shoulders. It was good to have his feet tied up temporarily, but it wasn’t a very good situation. The beast warriors that filled the room were talking noisily.
“oh my god. Diomo suffered!”
“Bah, what did that kid just do!?”
“Be careful, this guy uses strange powers!”
Only then did the surrounding scenery begin to come into view. Weredeer’s corpse, cut in half from top to bottom, was strewn about. The comrade’s intestines, glistening in a pool of blood, were exciting the prisoners like a bullfighter’s flag. Fifty beast warriors growling as if they would attack at any moment. This really wasn’t easy. Jiger, who was watching the situation dumbfounded, opened his mouth.
“What on earth is this…what happened?”
He was frozen, unable to understand the situation. For a moment the intruder’s sword flashed, and his adviser and one of his men were dragged away and met with a cruel devastation. I don’t know what kind of magic they did, but I knew this one thing instinctively. That intruder is not someone you should look down upon as you thought. Jager, who made a quick decision, made exaggerated gestures and shouted.
“Hey, have you seen such a vicious guy! “Compatriots, tear him to pieces!”
“Kaaaa!!”
Jager’s index finger pointed at Ronan. The growling beastmen all roared and rushed forward. A roar rang out loud enough to shake the fortress. Ronan muttered, wiping the corner of her mouth after drinking the potion Adeshan had given her.
“···This is why I hate animals.”
If nothing else, it felt like my ears were going to fall off. After drinking the potion, I felt a bit better. Waves of fangs and teeth were pouring down on the two people. It seemed like I would have to go through these waves first in order to interview my advisor or Jager. If I had known it would end up like this anyway, I would have just killed them all.
Ronan lightly lamented his situation and ran forward. Sigh! The head of the werelion that was running in front rose into the air. The fight began as soon as hot blood soaked my cheeks.
