Chapter 280

I am not a returner Episode 280

Dog and Wolf (5)

Ojin kept his mouth shut as he looked at Riak’s back, covered in blood and trotting forward.

“....”

If you think about common sense, it would be better to use the hunters as guides while appropriately adjusting the rhythm to the hunters.

Of course, the period of despair that children must feel will be longer.

All you have to do is rescue him after successfully infiltrating the kingdom.

That way is much more rational and efficient.

but.

“There are times when you shouldn’t hold back.”

Oh Jin turned his head with a self-deprecating laugh.

I saw a girl trembling while being captured by hunters and a boy covered in blood trying to protect her.

Can it really be said that ignoring them and pursuing the immediate benefits is ‘efficient’?

“Tsk.”

Being rational and efficient is not always right.

The world.

It wasn’t made that simple.

“Okay, okay.”

Oh Jin let go of Ha Eun’s shoulder and turned around.

I followed behind Riak and created a blue thunderbolt in both hands.

“I was still a little annoyed because I had to endure it.”

No matter how much of a con man he was, he couldn’t help but feel nothing when he saw the scum trying to capture children and sell them as slaves.

“These bastards...!”

When the leader hunter died, the panicked hunters took a step back.

“Oh don’t come! If you come, this kid will have no life!”

“Aaaah!”

The hunter holding Liru shouted as he placed his sharp nails on the nape of her neck.

Ojin and Riak’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

“That’s right. “Stay there.”

“If you take even one step, these kids will fall behind!”

Did they think hostage taking was effective?

The hunter who was holding on to the boy also exchanged one of his arms for the beast’s and shouted urgently.

Ojin and Riak stopped and their gazes crossed.

“I’ll take care of the boys.”

“okay.”

The two kicked their feet at the same time as if they were having fun.

Just before the frightened hunter cut the girl’s neck with his fingernails.

Taang!

The wire shooter fired fire.

The wire fired at high speed caught the hunter’s arm.

“Ugh! “Damn it!”

The hunter twisted his body roughly to untangle the wire from his arm.

His muscles bulged and his brown mane covered his entire body.

Ttuduk!

Tremendous pressure transmitted through the wire.

Is it for no reason that they are not residents of the Demon World?

The beastmen, who changed their form into a half-human, half-animal form, were showing outrageous strength to the extent that they could cut wires that had been strengthened by mixing holy gemstone powder with their bare hands.

but.

Squeeze!

Blue lightning flowing through a wire.

“Kaaaaaa!!”

The hunter who tried to tear off the wire with his bare hands screamed in pain and twisted his body.

Ohjin’s body, dragged by the power of the wild beastmen as if having a seizure, floated in the air.

“I’m dead!”

The hunter barely withstood the shock of the lightning and violently swung Wire’s tied arms.

Oh Jin floated into the air like a tin can in Jwibulnori.

The hunter threw Ojin towards the protruding rock.

“The strength of one bastard is extremely strong.”

Ohjin, who was flying in the air, attracted by the beastman’s strength, raised the corners of his mouth.

The beastmen did not have stigmata like the awakened people, but had physical abilities that were beyond the standard.

but.

Is it possible to win a battle simply because one is strong?

Siiiiing!

The stretched wire is pulled taut.

Ojin’s body, which was flying towards a sharp rock, was dragged by a wire and turned towards the hunter.

“uh?”

The hunter’s eyes widen.

Isabella changes her expression slyly.

Ha-eun laughed and turned towards Ojin and Riak.

“Aren’t there any other guys around?”

“I think so.”

Ojin nodded and untied the chains that bound the trembling girl.

“Liru!”

“Le Leo oppa!”

The boy who was freed from his chains quickly ran towards Liru.

“Are you okay? “Are you hurt anywhere?!”

“Yes. are you okay.”

Liru nodded slightly while being held in Leo’s arms.

Leo, who was sighing in relief when he saw Liru without a single drop of blood, suddenly turned around and glared at Ojin and the others.

“Who are you all?!”

Eyes full of caution.

Leo fiercely bared his teeth and glared at Ojin.

To be exact, his ears and tail covered in his ‘black fur’.

“Why did the Black Mane tribe save us?”

A voice that exudes fierceness.

No matter how much Ojin and his group were the benefactors who saved his life, they were still an object of caution to Leo, who had always suffered from other tribes.

“Oh brother. Still, they are the ones who saved us...”

“Liru, stay still. They’re the Black Mane tribe. “There might be some kind of plan!”

A boy standing in front and taking a fighting stance as if protecting Liru.

Oh Jin swallowed a short sigh and frowned.

‘I feel like I’m more wary of this because of the color of the fur.’

The model he wore to easily blend into the beastman society was actually holding his ankles back.

After contemplating for a moment, Oh Jin took off the ear model he was wearing on his head.

“There is no need to be so guarded. “We are not from the Black Mane tribe.”

“...?!”

Leo opened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

“Stand, are you sure you’re human?”

“okay.”

“Hi! “Oh brother!”

“Why are the demons beyond the veil here?”

Leo and Liru take a step back as if to start a fight.

“Eh?”

Ojin tilted his head in response to a more intense rejection reaction than when he saw the black mane tribe.

“What are the demons beyond the veil?...”

“That’s right! “Demons from the black curtain beyond the forest of the Demon Sea!”

Leo shouted, clearly terrified.

“I heard it from Chief Joe! “Humans are something we need to be more careful about than the Black Mane tribe!”

“Hmm.”

I thought they wouldn’t be very wary of humans, but I guess my thoughts were too short-lived.

“Don’t be so scared.”

Isabella opened her mouth in a soft voice, as if comforting a crying child.

“If we were going to harm you, why would you save us?”

Isabella slowly approaches the children while giving a logical explanation.

Leo and Liru’s expressions instantly softened at the gentle atmosphere emanating from her.

Leo, whose expression had relaxed as if he had been drugged, suddenly shook his head.

“That’s it!”

“We are not bad people, so don’t be afraid.”

Isabella approached Leo and gently stroked his cheek.

“Don’t touch me!”

Leo slapped away Isabella’s hand caressing his cheek and glared at her fiercely.

Isabella did not give in and grabbed Leo’s head again and carefully hugged him.

“You were very scared, weren’t you?”

Isabella whispered in a warm voice and hugged Leo.

With the hand gently stroking his back, the fierceness emanating from Leo quickly calmed down.

“I’m going to be fooled just because of that...”

Shocking.

Leo’s cheeks were touched by a soft, unbelievably soft touch.

Even though they are beastmen, or rather, because they are beastmen, is it because they have stronger male instincts?

Leo raised the corners of his mouth with a smirk, melting at the soft touch pressing against his cheeks.

“You’ll be fooled... hehe.”

“....”

The boy crawls into Isabella’s arms without realizing it.

“Oppa... that’s mean.”

Liru glared at Leo with disdain.
