Chapter 324: Dogma (4)

...Oof!

Joints were twisted.

One of the Insect-king inevitably rolled on the ground.

Vikir caught the horn of the charging Insect-king people and immediately applied a joint lock.

...Crack!

No matter how sturdy the armor may be, the joints were inevitably weak.

After several strikes, Vikir realized the exoskeletons of the Insect-kings were quite strong, so instead of exerting force, he conservatively applied joint locks to save energy.

And as a result.

Over fifty insect kings writhed on the sandy ground, letting out groans.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Vikir, who had subdued the beetle-shaped Insect-kings by breaking its mid-arm, asked with a hint of annoyance.

“Now, do you feel like talking a little?”

[Yes. Please spare our knees. They are precious to humans too, aren’t they? Please....]

The elder-like longhorn beetle Insect-king groaned in prostration.

As the gray-bearded old insect king bowed his heads, eventually, all the insect kings knelt before Vikir.

Vikir silently observed them.

Black exoskeletons, muscular bodies, subtly different faces by gender...

Although they all had a generally similar appearance, there was a crucial difference.

That was the shape of their horns.

Some had one thick horn protruding straight, while others had two horns sticking out like tongs.

It was like the difference between longhorn and stag beetle.

It seemed even among themselves, these Insect-kings didn’t have a good relationship.

Because their teamwork during the attack was completely off.

‘...Thanks to that, it was easy to subdue them.’

Vikir sat down on a rotten log.

In front of him, stag beetle and longhorn beetle Insect-kings sat on their knees.

Naturally, the commoner students knelt behind them with pale faces...

“See that? He took down fifty of those longhorns, while we couldn’t even handle one even when we charged all at once.”

“We were struggling with just one... But he, Fifty of them...”

“He’s a monster, seriously! What’s with him!”

“Maybe he ate hundreds of candies in the 3rd and 2nd floor? That’s the only explanation.”

Whispers could be heard all around.

To those guys.

“Can’t you be quiet? You’re being loud in front of our lord.”

“Loud.”

“Loud.”

Highbro, Middlebro, and Lowbro no longer bothered to hide their reverence towards Vikir.

Meanwhile.

Vikir asked the Insect-kings.

“How did you end up here?”

Then, the longhorn beetle and stag beetle Insect-kings, with their thin, long eyebrows and beards, lowered their heads and began to speak.

[We lived on an island called ‘Guchung Island’ across the harsh sea for a long time.]

[Suddenly, we were attacked by demons and ended up trapped inside this strange tree.]

Some followers of Dogma, belatedly following his lead, also rushed to imitate him.

But just as they were about to dunk their heads into the pool...

*Splurt!*

A student’s head exploded.

Dogma’s hand, now several times larger and thicker, had clenched the person’s skull, crushing it effortlessly.

*Gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp* *Gurgle-gurgle-gurgle*

Despite the mix of blood, brain matter, and strange candies spilled into the sap pool as people died, Dogma didn’t release the head stuck in the sap source.

Observing this, Vikir muttered softly.

“You shouldn’t drink so much.”

The Abyss’s sap was inherently demonic. Humans shouldn’t consumed too much. And Dogma had become a living proof of that fact.

*Gag!* *Gurgle!*

How much sap had he consumed? His bloated stomach protruded unnaturally as he desperately groped his face with his hands.

But it was already too late.

The sap from the Abyss tree, permeating through his bloodstream to his very marrow, had begun to change Dogma’s entire physical being.

*Sizzle-sizzle* *Crackle-crackle* *Thud* *Squirm!*

The students who had followed Dogma hesitated in fear.

But they couldn’t escape from under the roots.

*Thunk!*

Dogma opened his mouth wide, swallowing their entire upper bodies with teeth that protruded like blades.

“Ga-ahh...”

Dogma chewed flesh and candies hungrily.

His appearance was no longer human.

Majin.

A peculiar being classified as a demon but not quite a monster or a demon.

A diaspora wandering eternally between the human realm and the demon realm.

Vikir sighed once more upon seeing it.

“It won’t be easy with that size...”

Just then.

“[Surprise! Missed me?]”

A grotesque, chubby fairy appeared above everyone’s heads.

It swayed its plump body unpleasantly from side to side, seeming pleased with itself.

[Oh? Has someone already become a Majin? What a surprise! If that’s the case, I must offer a challenge, right?]

Eventually, the fairy presented a mission to everyone except the Insect-kings.

*Ding!*

[Mission] – Let’s kill the Majin!

– Majin (0/1)

※ Oh dear, your precious friend seems to have lost its taste for life. Let’s make your friend comfortable quickly! You know the only way to do that, right?

...The problem is.

*Ding!*

[Mission] – Let’s kill everything that’s alive!

– Survivors (0/77)

※ It’s no fun being a Majin if you’re not going to rampage, right? Let’s prove how strong you’ve become! By the way, the rewards are quite generous, you know?

It seems it also received missions over there.
