Named Monster, Gogrid the Greedy
204? Named Monster, Gogrid the Greed #3
I sat on the chair I had made.
Dalgrak.
Maybe it’s because the bones are sharp, but it doesn’t feel that good to sit on. But it’s not something to worry about.
That’s not what’s important right now.
Damn it, you’re summoning the dead with just a gesture. You’re no ordinary warrior-!!
Even though the obese goblin was making such a loud noise that it hurt my ears, I liked the angle. It was so nice to have the feeling of looking down on something else.
I can understand Luna’s feelings as she digs up the yard and harasses the ants.
The life and death of others. This situation where you have the right to decide that is like being a god with power.
You, you, what the hell are you! What kind of guy are you?! Are these dead guys really the ones you’re commanding?
“okay.”
I’ve never seen a necromancer this strong. It should be impossible! It should be impossible!?
Gogrid seemed to have a certain pride in the years he had lived and the knowledge he had accumulated during that time.
Because of this, the country repeated the same words as if it were broken when an incomprehensible being appeared.
“Why do you think it’s impossible?”
Of course, necromancy is a spell that lends life and mana to your minions! If a necromancer can handle this many, it’s only natural that he wouldn’t look as skinny and unhealthy as that little nymph!
Can you lend me some life?
I think I got another piece of information about necromancy from this monster.
Now that I think about it, I do have a guess.
The first necromancer I defeated, Koma of the Black Star, was so powerful that he could weave dragons out of bones and make Hippolyte groggy with mind-control magic.
But the guy’s one-on-one fight was so miserable that even I at the time was able to subdue him somehow.
It seems that using necromancy usually results in a decline in physical abilities.
Although I heard some very helpful information, I didn’t show it with my expression and just sat on my chair, raising one palm.
Kwaaaaak-.
Then, the bone prison that had been wrapping around Gogrid’s huge body also tightened its grip, restricting his movements.
“If you lower your hand like this, you will be executed, Gogrid. But before that, I would like you to answer my questions honestly.”
Ha-. Don’t show off because you have some strange talent-. I am the great hobgoblin Gogrid!! I am the reversed blind man who gave two hundred and four gold coins and obtained a grand throne!!
If they were the kind of back alley robbers who would have threatened him like this, he would have readily confessed everything. This guy seemed to have integrity for a monster. He truly felt qualified to be called the leader.
What should I do?
Should I use something like torture to make him open his mouth? But I’m not really into torture or corporal punishment, so I’m a bit confused.
What would Elfriede do in a situation like this?
As I was thinking that, Paranoy came over to the chair I was sitting in and whispered in my ear.
“Hassan, how about trying using mind control?”
“Mind control?”
As I asked back with a puzzled look, Paranoy pointed with his finger to the eye of the star of Gu-Kalan, Hyun-Pluto, hanging around my neck.
“I heard that artifact is something related to the mind, which is the basis of mana. If you, Hassan, have perfect control over it, you will be able to use the power of the dark priests’ magic, the mind splitting spell, without any problems…!”
Paranoy’s words made me think of the necromancer Koma. He used something like black lightning to destroy people’s minds.
Maybe, just maybe, I can do something like Paranoy said.
I have a feeling I can do it.
But I had full confidence that I could do it, but I didn’t know how to do it well. There was a keyword that said necromancy was raising the dead, so I figured out how to deal with it.
The power of schizophrenia? That honestly doesn’t make sense to me.
However, in that situation, it seemed a bit awkward to ask Paranoy, “How do you do that?”
I might look ridiculous and tarnish my image even more in front of the goblin king who barely made me kneel down. Then this guy won’t open his mouth any more.
Swish.
So I pondered what might be a good idea and then quickly got my heavy butt up from the bone chair.
Dalgrak-.
At the same time, the goblins that had been turned into chairs revert to their original forms.
I bowed my head before the giant goblin Gogrid, leaving those guys behind. Then I extended my right hand, which was free of its gauntlets, and grabbed the guy’s thick wrist.
No matter what you do, it won’t work. I’m used to pain. Do you think I’ve never dealt with dark priests before? Mind control magic won’t work on me either.
“You have to try it to know.”
Deering-.
『Name: Affectionate Family? Gogrid lv. 33
Condition: Hypertension》 Hyperlipidemia》 Arteriosclerosis》 Hyperuricemia》
The name, level, and status of the monster are displayed. The level is 33, which is not very high compared to Hippolyte, but it is the highest level among the monsters I have met.
Literally the level of a veteran adventurer who has just been promoted to Silver Tier.
If there had been no necromancy, I would have had to use every trick in the book to beat this guy.
What else-.
“This damn thing is a bunch of adult diseases. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis-.”
What the heck are you talking about now!
I grabbed the guy’s wrist and used my thumb to stimulate his negative point, which is a vital point on the inside of a person’s wrist.
If you press there with your thumb, it will hurt so much that you will scream, and it seems that even this overweight goblin felt the same.
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh-!!
The guy screamed like he had been electrocuted. In this case, it might be more accurate to say he roared like a pig on a thorn.
Hey, stop it-!! Stop it-!!!
Soon, Gogrid suddenly loses his temper and tells him to stop. The relaxed look he had on his throne was nowhere to be seen, and his nervous annoyance was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Vital attack works.
Even if you gain weight, the essence remains the same.
That’s why it’s a vital point.
Surprisingly, the things I learned from my father about the basics and bloodlines are very helpful in this world. I don’t think my father intended this.
I had no choice but to admit that my understanding of the gist of what I had learned was not in vain. Thanks to it, I had saved many lives.
In the end, no matter how many things you learn, you always end up returning to this.
I quickly released my grip on the guy’s wrist.
Then Gogrid slumps down and starts panting for breath.
What is it? What, what is it? What, what are you doing? What did you do?
“Every living creature has a vital point. A human has about 60. I don’t know how many there are on a goblin’s body, but-.”
Swish.
I looked at Gogrid from top to bottom with quite serious eyes.
“It might not be a bad idea to try it today.”
match.
As I gave a brief applause, the goblins clinging to the guy’s body changed their positions.
“Hang it like a cross. This guy’s body will be visible.”
And as instructed by me, I create a shape similar to a cross and levitate the body of a giant goblin into the air.
Thanks to that, the guy’s sagging flesh was clearly revealed to the world. When I frowned at the sight, which was so horrible, Paranoy said.
“What a vulgar and hideous body! What a truly blasphemous body! I can’t possibly tolerate such a thing-!!”
Hehehe, don’t say that. Even though you look like this, you’re still popular among the goblins.
“This kid, it seems like he hasn’t come to his senses yet…!!”
Paranoy shouted at Gogrid, who was not bending his spirit, as if he was a crane. However, I just slowly loosened my wrists and fingers and gathered my will.
Just kill me. If you are really Pluto’s son, kill me and ask about my body. Of course, if you kill me, Messias will not stay still. I, I am his right hand man!
“okay?”
Knock knock, knock knock.
I loosened all the way down to the joints of my fingers and sharpened my index finger.
Then I stabbed it hard into the center of his forehead.
Phew-.
Then I could clearly feel my index finger squeezing into the huge flesh. Since it was stabbing the enemy hanging on the cross, I thought it would be nice to give it a fancy name.
“Longinus’s-jigen.”
Guaaaah-!!
The bastard let out a scream that was like thunder during the rainy season.
The navel is a vital point for any beast or living creature. If you were to be stabbed there with full force, the pain would be unspeakable.
Ugh, ugh-!!
The guy is in so much pain that he can’t even breathe, and he’s shaking and trembling, not knowing what to do. I’m worried that the cross that’s binding him might come off.
Pusheeeek-.
A rather pungent liquid was dripping from the lower body of the man who was wrapped in luxurious silk.
“This guy, he peed in front of others without any shame-!! This guy, he’s a pisser-!!”
Seeing that, Paranoy screamed as if he was really excited. Did he feel some sort of sense of superiority over someone else urinating?
“You’re the right-hand man of the Lord of Hell, and you’re peeing on the floor!! The Lord of Hell who has this guy as his subordinate must be an idiot…!!”
Even though that paranoia had already peed in front of me two or three times, I decided to just leave it alone. Pointing it out would be like spitting in my face, which was holding the guy as my right arm.
In the end, I bit back the finger I had stuck in his butt.
“Tell me about that guy named Mezier. Is he the heir of Hell, chosen by Chaos?”
Ugh, ugh-.
However, even though I asked him a question, he didn’t seem to be in a state to answer. His eyes were rolled back and saliva was flowing out of his mouth.
Have you lost your mind?
Was it too stimulating?
Should I have hit Meiji a little later?
“You bastard-!! Isn’t Hassan the one asking right now-!!”
At that moment, Paranoy picked up Gogrid’s staff that had fallen next to him and struck the bastard’s body with all his might.
puck-!
Gogrid, who was hit by it, opened his eyes and opened his mouth as if his mind had suddenly come to him.
Huh, what, what is it? What, what happened?
The guy blinked as if he didn’t notice what had happened to him. It seemed like the shock was so strong that he passed out for a moment.
Oh, I lost consciousness… . But, but the pain doesn’t allow me to open my mouth. I, I am the right hand of the Messiah, the one who gave me my name… .
Cool-.
It’s a giant goblin that spews out a lot of green blood.
“This guy is being unnecessarily persistent… I’m just going to kill him-!!”
Indeed, it was as Paranoy said. Although he was a monster, his integrity and morality were worthy of emulation.
If Paranoy had been tied up and tortured by his enemies like this? Paranoy would have spit out everything if they had just tickled his feet with a feather.
“Hassan, that kid is actually a bronze tier bastard-!!”
My right arm is a paranoiac.
The right arm of the guy who is called Mezaianji is such a strong-willed guy. As I wonder who the owner is, I feel like the danger is increasing.
If you don’t open your mouth, I think there’s no point in torturing you like this.
As Paranoy said, it’s a shame, but should we just kill him and end it?
As I was feeling slightly anxious, I suddenly felt a strong thirst, perhaps because I was moving my body too vigorously or because I was commanding so many undead at the same time.
So I fumbled around in my waistband to moisten my throat with water.
I could tell that the leather water bottle tied to my belt had a hole in it, or maybe it was empty of water.
“Paranoy, do you have some water?”
“Here it is, here it is-!!”
Then Paranoy, like an enthusiastic new recruit, rummages through his backpack and hands me a leather water bottle. I unscrew the cap and take a sip of the overflowing liquid.
“Phew!”
Before I knew it, I had poured out everything inside it.
“Ugh, Sval, what is this-.”
I thought it was just water, but what was inside was something terribly foul and bitter.
“Oh, that’s the elixir that Luna-sama has been making lately-!! It’s not water-!! It’s distilled elixir-!!”
“Oh, I see.”
Luna’s elixir isn’t really something you drink for its taste, but even taking that into account, there were many instances where it tasted absolutely horrible.
Even if something bitter is good for your body, there is a line. Thanks to that, even though I have eaten all sorts of weird foods, if I drink it without being prepared, I can’t help but spit it out like this.
“This is water… I made a mistake… .”
Paranoy, who was shaking, handed me another leather water bottle.
“If you reduce your share any further, you will no longer be a count, but a viscount….”
The guy seems to be afraid that his recent mistake might diminish his share of Hell.
Have I been scaring you too much lately? I feel a little sorry when I see you shaking in fear like this.
“You might make a mistake. You just have to make sure not to make a mistake again.”
As I was talking briefly and drinking water, I saw Gogrid shivering violently, just like Paranoy.
Ugh, what, what is this, this is the first time I’ve felt this disgusting. Wipe this off my body! What is this-!!
The guy soon couldn’t stand it anymore and started screaming. Even when I stabbed him in the groin with a stick, he laughed and spat out blood. Why is he suddenly-?
I had that feeling and was furrowing my brows.
I could see that the guy’s body was covered in Luna’s elixir that I had sprayed from my mouth.
Hurry up, hurry up and clean it!! My, my body feels like it’s rotting away-!! Whoaah-!! My nose feels like it’s going to get twisted-!! Ugh, ugh, ugh-!!
Gogrid, whose stomach was turning like a nausea from a hangover.
I was wondering why he was going so overboard with just a little bit of elixir. Suddenly, with a hopeful mind, I put some of Luna’s elixir in my mouth and spit it out again at the guy.
Phew-.
Ghaaaak, ugh! Just kill me! You sons of bitches! You scum of the earth! Ghaaaak-!!!
“Ahh-!! Hassan-sama, the breath of death! It looks like Death Breath is working-!!”
