Demon King

Chapter 9. Humans 2

I went straight after the Goblin Fighters.

If we lose them like this, the Goblin Fighters will not be reborn in the dungeon for a few hours.

I was remembering what it was like at the previous mass launch. I don't want to have to wait a few hours.

If you asked me if it was just about that, I couldn't answer for sure.

“Kiik!”

“Kiehei!”

Goblin Fighters can't be faster than me, but it was pretty annoying to chase down one of the scattered ones. Eventually, I missed a few, and they finally made it through the passageway to Goblin space.

It was where the stupid brothers and sisters lived.

“Tsk.”

Of course, I might be able to fill 1,000 if I eat them all... … but I accidentally kicked my tongue.

This is different from the time of the Three Fools. At that time, they entered the dungeon as they wished, chattering and carelessly, and died as they wished.

But now that brother and sister are different. I don't seem to be too careless, but I hunted slowly and cautiously elsewhere.

If I hadn't caused a massive eruption and missed out on Goblin Fighters, I wouldn't have died.

So if they die, it's on me, too.

In the past, there were three reasons I ignored the Three Musketeers.

Number one, I didn't have the strength to save them back then. Secondly, they were too likely to be hostile to me. Third, because they're still alive to me, and there's no reason for me to save them while I'm in danger.

And now things are completely different. The Goblin Fighters are nothing to me, and my brothers and sisters who can't stand up to Goblin Fighters can't stand up to me, and they're in danger because of me now.

Is this the moment where I have to choose between "human" and "monster"?

‘No, that's not it. ’

The black heart thumped.

This is simply a matter of my pride. It was an insult to me to kill those who had not been proven an enemy to me by my mistake.

If I kill him, I'll have to kill him myself. Not only that, but this was also a very important issue for me.

Concerns were short and actions were quick. I jumped over the aisle. There's already a good distance between me and them, and the brothers who face the Goblin Fighter are on the run.

“Don't look back, run! ”

“That's why I told you not to go in there! ”

I was recognizing them with my voice, but they were young. My brother's in high school, my sister's in middle school.

I thought he was a pathetic brother, but the moment I stepped in the aisle, I forgot how pathetic he was.

“Brother, what to do! ”

“Run, run! Don't look back!”

My brother is running behind him like he's protecting his sister. There was already a rusty sword on his back.

It was a Goblin Fighter. Their pitches are incompetent, but I can't believe they got away with it.

Do you think she's hiding the fact that she's been hurt in case she stops? It was absurd.Even after such a fatal wound, you didn't groan. It's more poisonous than me.

“Yuck!”

I stepped into the corridor and confronted the scene. I threw Bastard in my hand and defeated the Goblin Fighter who looked like it was attacking my brother from behind. I was able to cut off his head and kill him in one shot.

If the distance was close, it could have been annihilated by Heilang, but the range of Heilang was miserable even now, reaching beginner level 7.

I hurriedly drew my sword from my inventory, but it was hard to throw it after two of them passed by. They were desperate to get away from me, too, so they wouldn't have to be killed.

That's when the problem happened. A Goblin Fighter running past him desperately caught the one who thought he was going after his sister, and a Goblin Fighter screamed and put a sword in his face.

Immediately after that, I put the sword in the fighter's back, and the two of them fell side by side on the floor.

This was what happened in seven seconds after I crossed the corridor.

“Gaaaahhhh!”

After she realized her brother was missing behind her, she turned around and noticed that he had a sword in his face. Screaming, the Goblin Fighter passes by, his sister falling into place, and collapses the next moment.

A longsword protruding from his back was once owned by a mercenary.

A sharp steel sword. It's a little narrow and short compared to Blood Bastard, but it's the best I've ever had. Killing a Goblin Fighter in a single blow isn't sharp enough.

“Hiic, hiic. ”

She slowly pulls her butt back with a frightened face, not even realizing I existed. It was supposed to be very cute, but I couldn't even look at it with fear and tears.

However, the outfit that he wore was absurdly the same school uniform as my brother's school.

I could tell that I was in Korea now because of the Korean language of the three people, but I did not know that it was the province where I lived.

But even more shocking to me is that the world is going crazy enough that even a student in uniform will be thrown into a dungeon.

At that moment, the family I had been trying to forget came to my mind.

None of my family had a capable partner. The best thing was my brother's partner, the daughter of a bandit.

What about my family? How is it that our family is living now, with nothing but debt and no power after synchronization?

‘That's it. Stop. ’

I was able to defeat the incomplete thought. I'm worried about my family. What are you doing? I can barely survive right now. Finding my family is not too late after securing my safety.

I may be late... but I can't help it. Family is precious, but I was the most precious. I didn't want to die. I couldn't run out like this.

She couldn't run away, but looked up at me with a frightened face. Is it useless to run away, or is the leg too weak to move?

I walked slowly. You retrieved the sword from the fallen Goblins and threw it into the ground. As I approached her, she closed her eyes tightly. My tears were squeaky and I was really ugly.

Past him, I retrieved a sharp steel sword. Then I turned around.

I was just about to leave, but my dead brother's face caught my eye with a rusty sword in his forehead.

A face filled with pain and despair. Is it because of his own death? Or is it because of your sister who didn't protect you?

I carefully drew the sword from his forehead. Dead blood stopped flowing a little.

I put down my sword and closed his eyes.

Then I got up and walked again.

“…… Ah. ”

My sister makes a voice, but I don't look back. You pick up the corpse of the Goblin Fighter you threw away and walk. But it was then.

“Oh, why...? ”

I wish the monsters would just be quiet if they ignored me. I was such an idiot.

Of course, if I opened my mouth and answered, I would have to kill him here, so I walked without stopping.

“Did you save me...? ”

The rear horse was a whispering little voice, but I could hear it in my ears.

Of course I ignored that.
