Chapter 146: He-llo (6)

"Kyaaak!""R-Run away!"

Outside the walls of Freesia.The place was filled with people who had taken refuge.

They had managed to escape outside the walls through a dimensional gate, but they were not entirely safe.

Shadow beasts had reached outside the walls and were flapping their wings, opening their long beaks wide towards the innocent civilians.

A giant pterosaur shadow dived from the high sky to the ground.It was targeting the children.Monsters always had the instinct to prey on the most vulnerable and tender weaknesses!

"Mo-Moooom...!""Waaaaaah...!"

The children ran from the pterosaur shadows chasing them from the sky. But it was impossible for their short legs to outrun the flying pterosaurs.

"Block them! Block them!""Protect the children!"

The mages of Walpurgis and the soldiers of Freesia focused on defense as much as possible, but there were too many shadow beasts.

Even among them, the shadows of vile robbers and thieves were mixed in.They threw nets toward the children, and already, more than five nets were tightly wrapped around the kids.

"Damn it! Vile thieving bastards!!! It's the Alubaba gang! Bloody hell!"

Shadow thieves.They made no sound, not even a word, and had no expressions because they were shadows, yet people felt like they heard them laughing vilely and grossly, like auditory hallucinations.

"To kidnap children in such numbers? What on earth are they planning to do?!"

People were scared.They couldn't even guess what the shadow thieves would do to the children they had caught in nets. Ask for money?But what use would money be to shadow thieves?All people knew was that something unspeakably terrifying was going to happen.And the children knew that too, which is why they cried their eyes out.

"Moooooom...!""Hiiiiing...!"

The children's cries echoed everywhere.It was at that moment.

Something strange popped out from the black flickering shadows of the children.Soft black tufts of fur.And some of the children recognized it.

"Mo...Molumolu...!""It's Molumolu!"Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

"Meow.""Kong."

They were Molumolus.Mini Molumolus hiding in the shadows of the small children.

The children had received mini Molumolus from Naru and had hidden them well in their shadows, which was a fun thing to do.

Being able to live with a mysterious and cute creature in one's own shadow...! No child wouldn't be excited and delighted by it.But, one day, the Molumolus stopped appearing from their shadows.

No matter how much they called for them, there was no response.The children were truly shocked by that.

Some students couldn't even go to school, sobbing with disappointment. But to think that the Molumolus, who had vanished, were popping out of their very shadows!Even from the shadows of ordinary boys and girls who didn't know what a Molumolu was and had never met Naru, Molumolu emerged!

━Meow.━Grrrrr...!

The Molumolus that popped out threw themselves at the monsters and shadow thieves attacking the children.

"It's certain that Judas has an allergy to ditch water...! His shadows also have the same allergy, as we've already tested...!"

Judas had an allergy to ditch water.Judas found it very peculiar and conducted various experiments. As a result, he discovered that his weakness was the ditch water spewed or purified by nymphs.

"Attack them all while the shadow monsters are suffering...!"

The nymphs created a significant breach in the ranks of the shadow creatures.Seizing the opportunity, many people slashed the throats of the shadows or stabbed their bodies, twisting them in agony.Soon, Sifnoi cackled sinisterly.

"Mwehehe... This Sifnoi has made the greatest contribution... to obtain the Skeleton Key... and the Codex, the thieves' law book...! I must become the King of Thieves...!"

Sifnoi was ambitious.

"When This Sifnoi becomes the King of Thieves..., all thieves will only be allowed to steal sugar and candy, and delicious honey and chocolate by law...!"

Hearing her words, all the thieves thought that Sifnoi must not be made the King of Thieves.So they fought even harder to diminish Sifnoi's accomplishments.

Salome, watching this spectacle, had a lot to say but couldn't organize her thoughts. There were too many astonishing scenes, and frankly, it was ridiculous.

"It feels like my worldview is crumbling."

A Nymph Thieves' gang.Now that she thought about it, Salome remembered hearing such stories in her childhood.As Salome recalled her younger days, Hina's face flashed before her eyes like lightning.

"Hina."

Salome didn't know where Hina might be or what situation she was in.

So she leaped high to rescue Hina, heading for the urban hellscape of Fresia, her heart strangely fluttering as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

Bang—!Suddenly, a loud gunshot tore through the air.Salome stopped in her tracks and, as if entranced, moved towards the source of the sound.There, she saw a shadow slaughtering the mages of Walpurgis.

"Block it!""He's too strong! This shadow...! Too powerful for spells to work!"

The poor mages fell, spurting blood.Seeing this, Salome approached them and said,

"Fall back. This opponent isn't something middling mages can handle."

Salome's eyes trembled.Honestly, she had not anticipated that the scene unfolding before her was possible.

But she had experienced a lot today and would face more in the days to come.Salome decided to accept the situation and do what she could.

"Judas."

Salome said.The shadow slowly cocked its head about 90 degrees to the left. Then it spread its right hand outward, as if politely saying he-llo─.

At that gesture, Salome felt a slight joy and longing welling up deep in her heart. But those feelings quickly turned into a fiery passion.

Swoosh—Taking a deep breath, Salome drew her dagger and said,

"Judas...no, that's not your name anymore. Herod. I will kill you."

Salome had regretted not being able to kill her father, Herod, with her own hands after learning the truth. Now that the opportunity had arisen, it felt like it was all preordained by /genesisforsaken
