Chapter 67

‘Hmm, basically, two guards act together.’

Did it mean that he pulled out the guys patrolling around the barrier? It would have been easier to hunt one by one.

Leeha scratched his head, but he didn’t think it was a big threat. Besides, he did the same test twice and he got the same result, so he did not have regrets anyway.

‘I’m sure they’re humanoid monsters, so the thigh is also an area that does a lot of damage, isn’t it? Anyway, I also confirmed that if I hit their leg, their speed slows down.’

He was skeptical at first, and he had no way to confirm the relationship between damage to the leg and movement speed.

Seeing Highlander Tale’s slow movement in the video of the Tiwi Canyon, he somewhat expected it, but he still needed solid data.

‘Well then.’

Looking at the two kobold guards that were dragging one of their legs and bleeding, Leeha quickly turned back and ran.

“Two guards, each shot in the thigh. Be prepared for aggro.”

After Leeha returned, he called out to Matsushige and reloaded at the same time. In fact, Leeha’s two party members were making silly faces.

“Yes. By the way... That was really great. Did you see, Hana-chan?”

“Yes, yes! I guess even they couldn’t walk properly when you hit their legs.... This is the first time I saw it.”

Even the level 40 and 42 users won’t be able to close their mouth if they see something for the first time.

They had been through a lot after hearing that Middle Earth was realistic, but they couldn’t help but be surprised every time they saw something like this.

It was unavoidable.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Dealers who rely on the combat assistance system do not aim and fire at a specific area, and even if they do, the projectile does not fly there.

“Matsushige-nim!”

“Ha, hat! Yes, we are preparing.”

When Leeha made a low and thick voice, Matsushige came to his senses. Even if their movements had slowed down, the two kobolds were running towards Leeha. Full of anger.

If Matsushige missed it, Leeha’s life would be in danger.

“Ka- Kaat-!”

The kobold guards barely managed to climb the hill and into the bushes.

“Double slash!”

Matsushige jumped and swung his sword twice.

When a series of diagonal slashes hit the kobold guards once, their target changed in an instant.

“H-human! Ka-”

“Kill! Village, protect!”

Although they were small in height, they have muscle mass that exceeded that of an adult male.

Even though it may look sloppy at first glance, kobolds are also monsters. When they swung their spear it was pretty scary.

“Protection!”

As soon as Mame Hana’s green magic enveloped Matsushige, the kobold guard stabbed its spear out.

“Hmm!”

Kaang-!

However, Matsushige got only lightly brushed.

It was a 130cm tall kobold, and had more strength and skills than an adult male, but at least right now, it couldn’t compete with Matsushige.

It was already slowed down by Leeha, and a lot of its stamina has been consumed.

“Slash!”

“Kat-!”

Matsushige’s sword cut the kobold guard’s forearm in half. Green blood oozed out of the forearm, which was rattling like a broken branch.

Leeha frowned and moved from his position.

There was a second point to test.

The moment Matsushige faced the two kobold guards in front of him, Leeha moved to the spot where the two kobolds lined up.

In other words, he aimed at the kobolds from the right that was further from Matsushige, and not behind him.

“Human?”

“Ka, Hu-!”

“Ha Leeha-nim, you can’t go too far! There might be aggro-!”

Taa–

Pik, pik.

—aang!

“What did you say? Mame Hana-nim?”

Leeha, unable to hear Mame Hana’s shout, asked with a calm expression only after firing the musket.

“Ah...”

“W-What?”

However, neither Matsushige nor Mame Hana could answer Leeha’s words.

“What? What happened, Ha Leeha-nim?”

“Hmm, if you resist like that, you won’t be able to do anything.”

“Kaat! Kaaa! Kakakat!”

When Leeha approached and teased his fingers, he drooled and spat out laughter. Next to them, Matsushige and Mame Hana looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Now, let me ask you one more time. How does the chief get out? Weakness?”

“Kaa- I am from the proud Hijuit Tribe-!”

“Phew, this bastard.... Matsushige-nim? Please hold it tighter.”

Leeha looked at Matsushige with an annoyed expression on his face.

Leeha’s neck became stiff when he looked at Matsushige who was sitting down.

“That, that, no matter how... it is a monster...”

“Don’t worry. There were a lot of people who thought they were going to die due to tickling, but I haven’t seen one who really died.”

“Okay...”

Matsushige tightened his grip on the kobold patrol’s wrist.

Immobilizing the legs and fixing its arms with a rope... tickle torture?

How could such absurd things work with monsters?

It was no wonder that Matsushige and Mame Hana felt absurd.

“Kaat-! Kaa, don’t do it, human! Stop!”

A kobold patrol screamed. But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t get out.

“You know, it’s okay to talk, right? This is different from other tortures. You won’t be able to die, or faint.”

“Kaa-! I can not say! I am a proud kobold patrol of the Hijuit Tribe-!”

“Right, right. Let’s see how proud you are.”

Leeha scratched the kobold’s side and armpit again.

“Kakakat, kakakat! Kakat!”

The kobold patrol spat out and shivered lightly.

‘I didn’t know if this kind of torture method would work, so I tried it first...’

I never thought it would work on the first try.

Even Leeha who tickled the kobold felt it absurd. Cutting its thighs with a mana bayonet, covering its nose and mouth, cutting off its fingers.... Leeha thought of rough ways, however, tickling worked.

“Hey, patrol. Talk. How do you call the Chieftain! You should know it. The Chieftain should be in there anyway.”

“Kaa, kaa....... I am proud-!”

“This bastard.”

“Kaaaak! Kaaat!”

Should he change the torture to something that causes physical pain? Or would that kind of torture not work in the first place?

Every time he heard the kobold patrol repeat his words, Leeha tickled the kobold, but there was still no result.

Still, he persistently tickled the kobold.

His obsession with information was truly remarkable.

‘No, there’s no way a patrol kobold didn’t know. Matsushige and Mame Hana knew that there was a Chieftain’s residence inside the iron mine. But one can’t go inside it. It must be brought out.’

Matsushige and Mame Hana said that they never personally witnessed, but knew about the Chieftain.

Inside the iron mine.

It was said that the Chieftain and his bodyguards were located in the burrows used by the Hijuit Kobold Tribe for the storage and nursing area.

However, in order to enter the iron mine, it was said that at least one raid team should attempt it, so Leeha ultimately had to find a way to bring out the Chieftain.

‘Should I just kill it and move on to the next one?’

Leeha glanced at the kobold patrol, breathing heavily.

‘Okay, Let’s do it one more time.’

Leeha eventually placed the loaded musket on the kobold patrol’s forehead.

“Bye. I’m just going to kill you.”

“Ka, ka- Chieftain doesn’t come out! Kaa- If nothing special, kaa-!”

“What? Something special?”

As soon as the musket was placed on its forehead, it blurted out information. If Leeha had known this would be the case, he would have done it earlier without torture.

“What is that special thing?”

“Kaa- the c-crisis of the tribe at stake! Kaa- humans who never leave! Kaa!”

“Dignity? Humans that don’t leave? What is that? Please tell me in detail.”

Leeha pressed the musket on the kobold patrol’s forehead. The expression on the kobold patrol’s face, which had been trembling before, changed.

Leeha immediately recognized it. That all the hints that could be given on Middle Earth had already come out.

“I am a proud-”

“It must be the limit. Damn it.”

Leeha pulled the trigger.
