Episode 82

What is this crazy guy saying all of a sudden?

I got goosebumps all over my body.

The words he suddenly approached me with were ‘I was hiding that from you’ and ‘I didn’t know.’

No, leaving everything else aside, the look in his eyes was too burdensome.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Normally, it would have been normal for me to frown at my words like this.

But now Ahar didn’t see anything like that at all.

Rather, he was showing a soft smile.

His sudden change was enough to catch me off guard.

“I guess I was too rude.”

“Did I eat something wrong?”

“Forget how I looked until now.”

“Are you crazy?”

“uh. What I’ve seen so far has been crazy enough. “I won’t do that in the future.”

“....”

I couldn’t speak.

The sight of him just saying what he wanted to say was even creepy.

There was only one case where he changed his attitude like flipping his palm.

‘Have you recognized my talent?’

That was all there was to it.

Ahar’s attitude towards me so far was not much different from that of treating trash.

But now he was treating me like a precious treasure.

Then there was only one reason.

When I thought that I could get something from me.

‘But how?’

When Ahar looked at me, the talent I had was ‘acting’.

That’s why he hasn’t paid any attention to me until now.

What you see now is clearly wrong.

In many ways, you have to be careful when someone who wasn’t interested in you starts to become interested in you.

Especially if you are someone who wants to exterminate humans like Ahar.

“How about we do this together from now on?”

“...yes?”

What kind of nonsense is this crazy guy talking about?

I was so embarrassed that I stuttered without even realizing it.

Despite my reaction, Ahar smiled and said.

“That’s right. It’s been a long time since we’ve been together. “It is true that I have treated you poorly all this time, so please come with me and apologize for that.”

“There is no need to do that. “Because I don’t care.”

“no. It’s because I care. And how long are you going to be respectful? Speak comfortably. I don’t think there’s that much of an age difference. “He looks more like an older brother.”

“....”

The excessive kindness was just burdensome.

It was still a burden for people I didn’t know, but the burden was even greater because I knew what kind of person Ahar was.

I knew very well that it was like that because I had something to tear away.

‘No matter how much you think about it, there is nothing else but talent.’

There is one reason why Ahar treats me well at this point.

Recognizing my talent for swordsmanship.

Other than that, there was no reason for him to change his attitude like that.

“How about we stay together at least until we get out of the North?”

“....”

Staying with a murderer for nearly half a year.

It was as frustrating and angry as giving me a gun and telling me to commit suicide.

Especially since I recognized my talent for swordsmanship, it was like carrying around a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

‘This is really troublesome.’

If I take him with me, I feel anxious because I don’t know when he might be attacked. But if I go with him separately, I feel anxious because I don’t know when he might be attacked.

I felt less anxious when my talents were not recognized.

At least there was no reason to attack me.

But it’s different now.

My life may be threatened at any time.

‘I’m going to turn. really.’

Even when things got messy, they got stuck tightly.

It was clearly visible that I would have to go through quite a bit of trouble to solve this problem.

***

The road to the center of the mountain range was long and arduous.

It’s not because of the monsters that appear here and there or because the mountain path is rough.

‘Damn it.’

This is because every day was a series of tension to the point where swear words came out.

I can confidently say that the reason I am so nervous is all because of Ahar.

“therefore. Get out of the front line as much as possible. “Please help me just enough so that I don’t die while trying to get him to deal with that guy alone.”

“All right.”

“You speak well of Beth. remember. You guys shouldn’t be at the forefront of anything. And you know the last hit.”

“yes. “But where are you going?”

“To solve the reason I came here. “Just keep that in mind.”

I didn’t say more.

This much is enough to understand.

Although I was worried about Ahar.

‘Because once he focuses on someone he focuses until the end.’

I soon lost interest.

Ahar need not worry.

As long as your eyes are fixed on Reid, there is no way your gaze will go anywhere else.

At least you don’t have to worry as long as Reid doesn’t die.

“The nest must be around here.”

I moved quickly, remembering the contents of the novel.

Time should not be delayed.

Even a slight delay can cause difficulties for the group.

Because Ahar can reveal his true nature.

Move as quickly as possible to find the nest and hatch Reid’s eggs.

That was what I had to do now.

‘Lethe grass and monster bone meal...’

There are two ways to hatch Reid’s eggs.

The first one is held by Reid’s mother.

The second is to soak it in a liquid that combines various ingredients.

Although the first method is the best hatching method.

‘There is a raid outside that needs to be hatched.’

In the novel, there was only one Reid.

It is not a hermaphrodite.

However, when they mate and become pregnant, the mother eats the father.

Therefore, there is only one raid left.

So I have to use the second method.

‘This method is not good for hatchlings.’

Since it is forced hatching, it cannot be good.

“That’s not important.”

The important thing is to hatch Reid before he dies.

To do that, we need to find the nest as quickly as possible.

“Where the hell are you?”

The nest must have been found around here.

In the novel, Reid’s nest is in the center of the mountain.

They say there is a cave with trees and bushes blocking the entrance.

‘Why can’t I see it?’

I became anxious because the nest was not as easy to find as I thought.

I moved even faster and finally found the nest.

Crumbling.

“...What the fuck?”

For some reason, there was something that shouldn’t be at the entrance to the nest.

The head of a lion and the body of a bear... No matter how I looked at it, it was Reid.

why?

Obviously Reid was at the top, but why is there one more here?

This is an unexpected problem.

‘Will I be able to deal with it alone?’

I looked at the raid and estimated its power.

The plan was completely revised when there was another raid.

The reason I wanted to hatch the eggs was because raids were needed to manage the northern ecosystem.

However, if there was already one more egg, there was no need to hatch the egg.

‘Let’s go back.’

The conclusion was made quickly.

Not only did I not have the confidence to hunt raids alone, but I also did not feel the need to do so.

So, just go back to where your group is.

It was time to move based on the judgment that there would be no problem in catching Reid up there.

Wow!

Reid’s cries were heard behind him.

With a creepy feeling, chicken skin grew on my arm.

Crumbling.

I secretly looked back and grabbed my sword, breaking into a cold sweat.

Crumbling. Crumbling.

Reid was approaching me, glaring at me.
