Chapter 48: (1)

Heugh!

Hey! I told you not to breathe through your nose!

Well, but Heugh!

It had been three hours since they started following the elf-orcs.

The expressions on the faces of the soldiers, excluding Kaiyan, were beyond words. They all had a disgusted look, with one hand covering their noses, desperately breathing through their mouths.

Kaiyan had already guessed that the smell would be intense, considering that the monsters were running away from it.

But the smell left behind by the elf-orcs was beyond imagination.

When Kaiyan smelled it for the first time, he thought his nose was going to change. There was no way such a foul smell could exist in the world if not for that.

Haah Ha. It feels like Im going to die. I just cant get used to it.

Uncle Max, hang in there.

Kaiyans eyes looked in concern as he saw Uncle Maxs disgusted face.

He was already old. He wondered if it wouldnt cause a big problem.

Right Wait a moment. Why do you look so fine?

What do you mean?

Why do you seem so unaffected?

Well, Im still young, you know. Even though its tough, I dont show it.

Is that so?

Of course not. In truth, as soon as he smelled this foul odor, he opened the shop window and purchased an item called a Transparent Mask, which blocks the smell.

It cost a whopping 50G! It was quite expensive for a feature that blocks odor.

But I cant continue smelling this foul odor.

In his heart, Kaiyan wanted to give a mask to Uncle Max and Uncle Jeff as well.

But I cant waste G so carelessly, especially when its not a dangerous situation.

It was not 5G, but a whopping 50G. And in order to purchase two more, an additional 100G was needed.

Kaiyan felt sorry for the two uncles, but he hoped they could endure since the foul smell wouldnt harm their bodies.

Sir, we seem to have gone quite deep into the canyon. How much farther do we have to go?

Hmm

As I asked, the senior knight alternated his gaze between the artifact in his hand and the canyon.

Judging by the increased brightness of the artifact, Tarien must be somewhere nearby. But I cant determine the exact distance.

Yes, understood.

In the end, it seems like well have to spill blood.

Other than this method, no other good ideas came to mind immediately.

At best, they could cautiously infiltrate the harpies nest and bring Tarien back.

How many of us will survive with that method?

If they were lucky, maybe around five people will survive.

But even if they do survive, its a problem. How are they going to escape from here to Panielun with this number of people?

Oh! The elf-orcs changed direction!

What?

Here it comes.

One of the knights who was leading the way shouted in urgency.

As he said, the elf-orcs, who had been moving at a considerable distance, changed direction for the first time.

Sir Knight, what about our direction?

Phew, its different.

Kaiyan asked with a glimmer of hope, but as expected.

Their direction and the direction of the elf-orcs are different. It means they can no longer rely on their help.

Screech-

Creak-

The monsters cries from above felt like they had been waiting for this moment.

Draw your weapons, everyone. From now on, we move quickly.

Clang-

Without a word, both the knights and the soldiers drew their weapons.

I actually prefer this to the foul smell.

Heh, you too? Its our turn.

I cant afford to be killed by those harpies!

The soldiers exchanged jokes to ease the tension, but they couldnt hide their trembling hands.

Ill take the lead! Follow closely! Lets go!

Yes!
