[ Episode 335. Imitation and adversary]

I carefully watched the grotesque movements of hands through the fog. Even so, he didn’t stop muttering hard with his mouth.



“This is what I meant by not being quiet.”

“What does that mean?”

Bahat with a frustrated expression asked, and I gestured away.

“Unknown hands were following us. The moment it gets quiet, it moves.”

“Huh Son?”

Bahat immediately turned around and headed towards where the hands were.

“Bah Bahat! Dangerous!”

“Isn’t that saying it’s safe as long as it’s noisy? There is nothing dangerous.”

Bahat, who kept talking to himself and walking towards his hands, was uneasy, but when we actually started talking, the hands stayed still as if they were frostbitten.

“Everyone, please wait a moment.”

I let the people rest during this gap and followed Bahat. After entering this space, Bahat, who seemed to have grown old, was working his way through the space.

“Hmm, that’s bizarre. It doesn’t seem like a creature...”

As they got closer enough to be able to identify without raising their eyesight with mana, the pale hands were seen in more detail.

The hands, which only existed up to the wrists, remained still connected to the hazy smoke.

“Magic? No, more like an anomaly than that.”

“Isn’t that dangerous?”

“As Ouroboros warned us, it must be dangerous. Anyway, you need to be careful.”

Bahat sat down, examined his hand closely, and wiped his face tiredly.

“Are you okay?”

“Hehe. Are you worried about me? You’ve come a long way from worrying about me, kid.”

I was relieved even though I was pretending to be strong.

Rather, if a person like Bahat showed weakness, I would have had a hard time too.

“Why don’t you cut yourself with a sword?”

“I don’t think I need to touch you. Especially in the current situation. If these hands come to attack us, then we will swing our swords.”

“i get it.”

Bahat nodded meekly and soon headed back to the ranks. By the way, it was too nasty to constantly make noise in a tired situation.

‘I’ll have to talk.’

I have nothing wrong with my stamina, so I have to work hard and talk to myself.

Wood Deuk!

Kwaduk-

The surroundings were still cracking and collapsing at the same time. Fortunately, no damage came to us, but I was worried that it would collapse within 3 days at that speed.

“Oops!”

Not long after I started walking again, a bad signal rang. It was the sound of the oldest Warlock collapsing, his legs weak.

“are you okay?”

Luna, who had been quiet for a while, saw him and approached him and held out his hand.

“Huh, I guess I think I’m done here. Just give up and move on.”

Everyone’s faces twisted at his frustrated words. He knew that anyone could be wrong, but at the same time, his rational warlock brain knew that his judgment was correct.

“I’ll pick you up.”

Luna squatted down and held out her small back.

Seeing Luna like that, the old Warlock just smiled.

“I am fine. He’s an old man who lived long enough anyway. So just go.”

“I’m not okay.”

As Luna frowned and the Warlock gave a troubled expression, I had no choice but to make a decision.

“The situation is not that bad. It’s too early to give up.”

“I know. But I thought and judged what happened after this.”

“Wizards...”

I sighed and held out my hand to the old warlock. Then Luna also quickly got up and held out her other hand to him.

“That’s the problem. I try to solve everything with my head. But you know that sometimes there are problems that can’t be solved with just your head. Now is the time.”

He hesitated for Luna’s hand and mine, and finally took it. After holding him by the hands and raising him up, I had no choice but to fall into trouble.

‘If I summon the mercenaries, I’ll be able to carry everyone on my back, but...’

In this situation, there was no problem with being able to use magic even if it was discovered. However, it was too big of a risk to let people know that I was a warlock.

“I don’t think it’s the right decision, but I’ll try my best.”

“Good idea!”

Luna smiled brightly.

I wondered if she was worried because she seemed to have returned to her original Luna, but I noticed one strange thing.

‘sweat?’

Sweat was running down the nape of Luna’s neck.

“what?”

“It looks bizarre.”

The toy was a small clown on a tricycle.

There was a spring on its back, which was turning and slowly moving towards us.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

At that time, Patrick, who was the first to realize the use of magic, trembled and stepped back. When everyone looks at his reaction in bewilderment

– Peek-a-boo.

The jester’s head sprung out like a spring and became huge at the same time, engulfing a nearby Warlock.

“to?”

Everything stopped in an incomprehensible situation.

But even at that moment, I reflexively drew my sword and blocked the way.

Quagga River–!

“Big!”

As if being hit by a huge blunt instrument, a tremendous shock hit his entire body. Even though I blocked it with a sword, I felt dizzy from the power I felt.

‘Dream Eater!’

I didn’t know that I would come back right away because I lost my mind for a while. I gripped my sword properly again and shouted at the people.

“Back off!”

“What the hell is that thing?”

“I think that was the reason why I couldn’t sleep. Get behind me for now.”

Kwajak!

Once again, the head jumped like a spring and attacked me. The clown’s face tore open the muzzle and tried to swallow me whole.

‘Attacks with a strange appearance, but ......’

It was so simple.

Sreuk-

seokkeok!

It easily deflected Dream Eater’s attack and cut off the spring. Then the clown’s head fell to the floor.

thud!

“what. It’s nothing! Did you tell us not to sleep because of that?”

I heard Bison yelling again, but it’s still too early to be relieved.

Procrastination –

The clown doll moved even after its head fell off. Soon, it changed its shape like clay, wriggling around, and then began to change its shape.

‘Spy on the other person’s dream and change into the most feared figure.’

That was the Dream Eater I knew.

Perhaps that toy replica was what Patrick was afraid of.

However, I couldn’t guess what form it would change to again now.

Chain fluid–!

You don’t have to wait.

I immediately rushed into the dream eater wriggling like a lump of clay.

slap!

As expected, like a monster that is almost impervious to physical attacks, my sword was just locked away. But...

a rumble–!

A spark rose from the black aura.

-Push this profit! Interrupt!

Dream Eater made a strange sound and transformed part of its body into an awl. Lightly avoiding the protruding awls, I used magic to come again.

Fuck!

It caused an explosion inside the Dream Eater.

Then the Dream Eaters exploded and scattered on the floor.

“Ohhh!”

“Good job Adrias Cromwell!”

Yes, please support me anyway.

When it’s quiet, those strange hands come up again.

Whiririk-

At that time, a part of Dream Eater’s shard tried to wrap itself around me. I pulled myself out right away, but couldn’t stop it from brushing.

Kuduk-

“Hmm?”

Dream Eater passed me by and immediately began to procrastinate. What looked like a lump of clay took on a distinct shape.

And the appearance that was revealed was.......

“Leaving the feed.”

It was none other than Maximin Cronell.
