From a terminal Soldier to Monarch

< 228.Second vice (2) >

I first heard the idea when I got the artifact.

Where did this come from?

It was foolish to invest your heart in it because there is no answer to your concern.

I invested my heart elsewhere.

So what can I do with this?

All I could do was engrave it on my body.

Talent, Vise, Skill, EXP.

The moment I chewed it all up and swallowed it,

I looked around.

With talented people by their side.

Even humans who grabbed talented hair with effort had basically a better body than I had in my previous life.

‘Not enough.’

I was thirsty as if I'd lasted four days without a sip of water.

What is this thirst for?

The conclusion was one.

I instinctively figured out what I needed.

In addition, it was already calculated what to get.

Let's get more than I have.

I've been pounding the vice technique in my head.

I chewed on the part I don't remember several times.

And here's the conclusion.

“If not as one, as two. ”

That's why I raised my knights.

After branding the Tempest Tower, I felt the need to hone a new technique.

It was before I met a scumbag like him in the North who was a green-eyed sage.

Artifacts.

Thank you for giving me a new opportunity and for giving me my talent.

However, I did not intend to accept only what the artifact gave me.

This goes like this.

And I'll be me.

That's what I tried to do. It was right after he stole Palmer's vice and engraved it on his body.

As soon as I felt the burning sensation and the imprint on my back was completed, the artifact also reacted to what I did.

[Skill Boost]

I thought it was bullshit.

[Skill level met experience level]

I could tell thanks to the bullshit artifact. What I did wasn't normal.

Two days after that.

[Vise Proficiency: 8]

Artifacts recognized a new vice imprint.

That's one trick I've been hiding.

“What did you do? ”

Lind asks, "Unless you've hidden the vice or performed a special technique, the vice knight can sense the opposition's vice."

It was a realm of sixth sense and intuition, but it was definitely felt.

Tempest Tower resembles the raging winds.

That's what me and the knights felt in common.

And the dragon rose?

“Turn the whole army around! ”

As I think about it, Armstrong's commander, Gennery Wolves, cries out.

No opponent is better than an enemy who retreats. It rained and the floor became muddy.

Orcs ran. Humans ran.

A human with spears, swords, bludgeons, etc. chases after the escaping Orc.

The captured Orcs died mercilessly.

If it hadn't been for the rain, I would have chased you on horseback, but it was too much.

Perhaps, that chase will do some good.

The longer the battle, the longer the rain, and the less powerful the pursuers are in this environment.

“…… Strange. ”

It was the voice of the Perth. He must have felt the vise of the Blue Dragon family several times before, so he must have smelled something similar.

But it wasn't necessarily the same, so I also made that face.

What I did was the kind of thing I couldn't turn away from in the middle of the battlefield.

Do you believe me when I tell you?

It breaks down notions perfectly so far, so no explanation could be easy.

That's what they look like because the notion is broken.

Above all, what explanation do you want, bathed in Orc blood and bribes?

I wasn't even willing to explain it for a long time. I also got it through luck and gambling.

Now, of course, I've definitely found my way, not luck and gambling.

I took two of my childish daggers. There was someone who wanted to give me a gift.

It rained and the floor became wetter.

The rain washed away the blood on my body.

Every beat of the raindrops brings pain.

My head was dizzy and my limbs began to tremble.

“Two of them. ”

The Perth recites it. You're quite subtle.

Yeah, that's right. Two.

And it's not done yet.

I found myself spewing heat and not vomiting.

As I spread my hand toward the raindrops, my fingers trembled.

I felt my whole body tightening just as someone twisted the laundry.

“Lynd."

“Yes."

He answered and approached, conscious of Perth's gaze.

“Give me a boost. ”

As I said, my legs were open. He clung to my body.

“Was that too much? ”

“A little.”

The whole body was full of heat. Lind frowns.

I recognized the face my friend was worried about.

If you told me what you got from the herd, I'd be more surprised than that, but I didn't have time to tell you right now.

“Let's go.”

The battle is over. Humans have won.

* * *

Rain rained two more days after the battle. It was the season rain when the seasons changed.

It took quite a while to collect the remains of the battlefield due to the rain.

Maybe it's the weather.

Four days later, people remembered those who could no longer breathe or walk.

It was a sudden and unprepared war. Above all, people did so because they had time to mourn and recall their deaths.

The joy of victory was replaced by the celebration after the rain had stopped.

Of course, the festival could not last long.

* * *

“Bang!"

You, you, you won't let me out of your sight.

I cut the ground with my claws and said,

"Skunk, Skunk!"

Are you really going to be so grumpy?

Who's gonna take care of my snack when you're dead?

Don't you know that a human body is small and weak?

By the way, one more time.

“The Refinement is gone now. I'll make it for you later. ”

“Bang!"

You think I'm some kind of animal who knows what to eat?

“Bang, bang!"

I rebuked him twice more.

“Oh, somebody's got it. I'll ask him to bring it. Just bear with me today."

Chris on the bed said,

He reaches out.

Phew, what should I do? I have to endure it.

I approached him and shoved my head instead of barking.

I want to touch my fluffy hair. Go away. What should I do?

Now, touch it.

“Yes, my pumpkin has suffered this time. ”

Why bother?

I snorted.

Unlike you, I have four legs and a strong body.

“Yes, it is.”

Chris was lying in bed scratching my body with his finger.

I could feel his hands grabbing and scratching my skin.

Oh, that feels good.

Where did he learn not to kiss? It's worth a touch.

I leaned in to ask for more.

Chris scratched me a few more times with his hands.

Cool.

I'm exhausted.I came to meet a Humans with a bent back while he was fighting.

I ran with power for a while.

I closed my eyes and put my body to the ground.

The sunshine from the window was warm.

“Pumpkin.”

What's the matter with you?

“You don't have to stick around, so if you get stuck, go for a walk. ”

“Bang!"

Nonsense!

I opened my eyes for a moment and it looked like this.

If I'd known this was gonna happen, I wouldn't have left him among those monsters!

At that moment... Phew, yes. It's all my fault. Come on, no!

Leave me alone!

“Bang, bang!"

“Got it. Got it. ”

When I woke up, Chris shook his head.

Child, stay still while you protect me.

You're gonna have to get yourself all wet again. Yeah? Yeah.

I won't let you.

“Oh, my pumpkin. ”

Chris said and scratched my forehead with his finger.

I sat back down.

Knock, knock.

Then you hear someone knocking on your door.

“Grrrrrr."

Reflexively, you turn your head.

There was no smell, no sound.

Humans kill Humans.

It is not pleasant to be here without wit.

Enemies if they meet two requirements.

“No.”

Chris dries up as he raises his body and pushes his fangs.

No, it's not.

Soon the door will open and you'll be so much smaller than Chris. No, you're not.

“How are you feeling? ”

It wasn't human. I didn't even smell it until I opened the door about how I killed the scent on my body.

She's a strange woman.

It was only when I was close that I felt different from humans.

“I'm dying. Very. ”

“You can't die. ”

“I don't think the man who gave me the poison once told me to die. ”

“At that time. Not now. A face like yours needs to be left alone for generations to come. ”

She comes closer, speaking. Then my eyes met mine.

“Well, um... Pumpkin?”

I didn't answer. I turned away.

How dare you.

Except for Chris, Lind is the only one who can hear me.

I'll give you an answer if you're that small.

“Do you want some of this? ”

She pulls the little ring out of her hand.

What is this?

This is usually Chris' snack.

I didn't turn my head.

But his nose twitched. I smell it. I smell it.

“Don't you want to eat? ”

She shakes the stone in her hand.

The scent stimulated my sense of smell.

This is at least five more than Chris used to make.

It's also a stimulating material.

But you can't.

My pride in accepting the gifts of a woman I've never seen before and not Chris...

“Eat if you want. It's okay."

Chris said.

If you ask me to.

I turned my head and quietly opened my mouth.

I drooled and fell on the floor.

Well, your body sounds like it's collapsing. Well, let's eat anyway. Chris asks us to go away, let's give him a bite.

Come on, put it in.

“Look at him. ”

She smiles and slowly pushes the stone in her hand.

You want me to chew through your wrist and swallow it?

Closer to your mouth, she drops the stone into your mouth.

It is thanks to the tingling and spreading sound in the mouth.

I saw a flower field. It was an illusion.

The stubble is not dry. It melts. In the meantime, it is sweet and tender.

Wow, this is for real.

“Tasty, isn't it?"

She asked.

I didn't answer. Pride didn't allow it.

And at that moment, a hook and another scent dug into my nose.

There is another stone in the hands of a woman who is neither human nor human.

“Here's another mix. ”

I nodded.

“You understand real people. ”

“Of course you do. But isn't that a waste of talent? You've been in the royal palace for days and you've only made pumpkin treats? ”

“Yes. The one you gave me, is your name Refining? Right? It's a combination based on that. How many years have you been feeding her this? ”

“From birth. ”

I could see Chris smiling, speaking.

I couldn't understand what was so funny about human emotion.

You guys got a lot more to say than that?

Can you just give me the marble in your hand and wash your mouth?

“Here."

She throws a second stone. I jumped in front of him and fell into place.

I didn't hear a thump.

My body is not so slow. What am I, that ignorant bastard? Yeah. And he's not Digo.

“Whoa, kitty, go away. ”

She was impressed.

Another one, if you're impressed.

She turned away from my wishes.

“But did you really make that? ”

“Please. Think of it as a cost of life. ”

“You know it's not about materials or effort, right? If you use it, the land will be a dead land. ”

“I know. ”

I turned off my interest for a moment.

Now is the time to taste. My taste buds that are several times superior to humans have caused acid to degrade and enjoy the taste of sweet stones.

Excellent.

Okay, I've made up my mind. Just pretend to listen to her when she calls.

“It's gonna be more intense from now on. You can help if you have your hands left. ”

Chris said.

“If you like.”

Aren't you done fighting?

He cried and squeezed for days, got drunk and won.

I swallowed all the bullets and looked at Chris.

I can't leave him alone anymore.

“Bang!"

I shouted with all my heart. And Chris immediately opened his eyes and said,

“No. Pumpkin. Stop it, stop it. Don't eat too much. ”

“He's so cute. Can I get you another one? ”

Hey, guys. Who asked you to eat? That's not it, now.

“Bang, bang!"

I shouted with a stronger will.

“I can't. Give me one more. ”

“Stubborn wolf cub. ”

“Bang!"

You don't understand a word of this.

Hot meal.

In the meantime, I asked him about the third stone he had flown.

This was another flavor.

Hey, you, let's talk later.

Let's eat first and think later.

Two days after my snack cook left, Chris woke up.

“You're going to Emilinun? ”

My servant Lynd asked.

“I'll go with you.”

“That's enough.”

“You mean the duc of a country is going without an attendant? ”

It's Lois with a bandage on one arm.

“It's okay. I'm going with the pumpkin. ”

Chris said.

“Let's go.”

“But do you have a reason to go to Emilabun now? ”

“I have something to pick up. ”

When Lind asked, Chris answered and patted me on the shoulder.

I shrunk.

He got on top of me.

Step forward, Chris said.

“Come back soon. ”

I took my foot off the runner. The destination was Emilanun.

It was a long drive to the wagon, but I could get there in a day if I ran.

The moment I hit the ground, the scattered wind hit me.

It's been a long time, so my feet are lighter than before. No, I feel lighter after eating that marble.

“Run, pumpkin! ”

You don't have to say it. At the right speed, Chris grabbed hold of my mane.

Son, don't get hurt. Do you want to live in anxiety, like the one you put by the water?

“Weiss, Weiss, did you do this? ”

Chris muttered on my back. I couldn't understand what it meant.
