Chapter 463: Infiltration Operation at the Water Supply Area (10)

Red death was spreading at a scary speed.

The Tears of the Saint, kept deep inside the Tochka Fortress, were gradually drying up.

As Dolores and the priests led by her spread holy water on the walls, the Poison Human’s full-scale attack became fiercer.

The once towering walls had significantly lowered.

This was due to the large number of poison human corpses piled up, raising the ground level.

The siege, which began at dawn, continued until dusk.

...Boom!

A huge black hand appeared over the wall.

Larger than the bodies of the regular soldiers, the hand was rotten and corrupted by poison.

[Grooooaaaah!]

A mutant, surpassing the combat power of regular Poison Human soldiers, revealed itself over the wall.

The creature's appearance had become even more grotesque due to the oil, fire, gunpowder, and nails it endured while climbing up.

“Arghhh!”

“A Poison Human! No, it's a monster!”

“Stop it! If something like that gets inside...!”

The soldiers tried to push the mutant back with crossbars and spears, but it was like trying to move a rock with toothpicks.

The heavy monster did not budge.

[Grrrrrrr...]

Finally, the mutant fully climbed over the wall.

It was the first Poison Human to successfully scale the wall of Tochka Fortress.

The nearly six-meter-tall monster, with its tongue hanging out from where its lower jaw used to be, looked around for prey, a truly bizarre sight.

It soon spotted a young soldier who was too slow to escape.

[Oooooooh!]

The mutant raised its huge hand.

“Ah... Ahhh...”

The young soldier, tripping over a stone, could only sob, unable to comprehend the impending death.

Then.

Rip-

The poison human had a mouth, sharp teeth, and purple tongue all over it’s body.

The mouth in the center of the mutant's hand aimed at the fallen young soldier.

“No!”

Some soldiers rushed to save the young soldier, but it was already too late.

...Just then.

Bang!

A terrifying explosion echoed.

It felt like something huge and fast had just passed by in a flash.

“...?”

When the young soldier came to his senses, the monster was no longer there.

Because it had been flung through the air like trash and disappeared into the sky.

...Boom!

The airborne Poison Human vanished into the sky, only to crash back down as a bloody mess.

And in front of the young soldier stood a tall old man looking down at him.

Warden Orca, the great commander of Nouvellebag.

He stood on the wall, holding a huge baton.

“Hold your position, young soldier.”

Then.

A match was struck to his left, lighting the cigarette’s end.

“...?”

Just as Orca was about to turn his head.

[Grooooaaaah!]

Two gigantic Poison Human mutants leaped at Orca.

Then.

Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the two mutants were torn to pieces.

One was pulverized by a storm filled with sharp winds, the other impaled by countless stone spikes erupting from the ground and the wall.

Under the shower of falling flesh and blood, two figures stood up.

“So.”

“Who will you choose as the next warden?”

Two people, a man and a woman, confidently asked in front of Orca.

Both were faces Orca knew well.

“D'Ordume. Souare. How did you two get here...?”

Major Orca had a somewhat bewildered expression.

Then a cheeky voice came from behind him.

“You can’t see me because I’m small? I’ve grown a bit taller.”

Orca’s gaze turned to a girl in a black helmet.

Bdissem.

She extended her hand, wielding countless Bdissem restraints.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Poison Humans climbing the wall suddenly became powerless and fell to the ground as helpless fools. Although the effect was less potent outside of water, it was enough to slow down the Poison Humans' assault.

“...Wow.”

Orca seemed greatly surprised by the appearance of the wardens of Nouvellebag at this location.

And then, something even more surprising happened.

Rumble... Shhh...

From one corner of his field of vision, a green hue began to spread, gradually covering the entire area.

It looked as if the entire wall of the Tochka Fortress was being overrun by moss.

The green substance seeped out from between the bricks making up the fortress wall, eventually covering the vast expanse of the wall.

[ ...Ooh?]

[ ...Grr?]

[ ...Squeak?]

The mutant Poison Humans, who had been climbing the wall by inserting their fingers into the gaps between the bricks, were taken aback by the green liquid filling all the gaps.

It was slippery, soft, and intensely hot!

Sizzle!

The green liquid, highly acidic, began to cover all the Poison Humans climbing the wall.

[ Aaaaargh!]

The Poison Humans flailed as they watched their skin, flesh, and bones melt, but it was too late.

Slurp, slurp, slurp—

The liquid, which flowed out from the gaps between the stones of the wall, moved as if alive, engulfing the Poison Humans and increasing in volume.

“Even that one came...”

Orca muttered as he watched the green slime creature flowing down the wall and devouring the Poison Humans.

Flubber.

This mysterious indigenous creature, which had been living in the Nouvellebag area even before the discovery of Nouvellebag.
