Hero without Blood or Tear

After that, it took me two whole days to get to the Havel River. This area was vast with swamps made by rivers.

This swamp is occupied by the Horses, so be careful. The vast swamp was divided into five places, each dominated by a leader called the Witch of the Swamp.

They were commonly called the 'Five Witches of Harvel.'

“There you are.”

I come from one of the five swamps, Gungel Swamp. It means "sticky swamp" in the Horse language. There is a witch named Jesus who lives here.She is quite unusual.

It's that I love the ancient ways of the Horses. She gives elixir as a commodity to those who get it right, and the wrong eat it.

I have won prizes for playing as a warrior in a past game after addressing Jesus' problems. I know what the problem is with Jesus and what the answer is. It was the winner of the elixir.

I was frightened that I had to meet the scary Swamp Witch, but to be honest, I was greedy for elixir. One elixir of elixir will entitle you to rule the empire away from the identity of this filthy commoner.

Then I stumbled across a monster hunter in front of the swamp.

“Young man, stand back. This is a den filled with all kinds of malice. ”

He hunted in a swamp covered in blood and mud.

“In addition, the swamp owner, Jesus, has returned from his journey yesterday. I left in a hurry, too. ”

This monster hunter seems to go in and hunt the horses whenever the swamp owner, Jeju, leaves.

You're a very resourceful man.

“I appreciate the offer, but I have some herbs to mine. ”

I passed him with a reasonable excuse.

Now the question is, how do we get through this swamp full of monsters safely? Surprisingly, the solution is simple.

All you have to do is obey the rules of those who offer tribute to the Swamp Witch. I was well aware of it thanks to my past experiences. The tribute would be from Balor's uncle.

“Let's go, then. ”

Tsk.

I broke a tree branch and walked along a set path. This dog tree branch was a sign of promise to bring tribute.

Grrrgh. Glug.

You hear an unknown sound endlessly over the unseen swamp. I was sure the monsters were watching me. But you don't bring tribute to a witch.

Tsk, tsk.

A monster with a giant mouth and tongue once again sounds like a pity. Hiic, it gives me goose bumps. But as I tried to ignore it and walked along, I arrived at Jeju's hut.

“I've come to pay tribute. The Witch of the Swamp.”

I opened the door and all sorts of smells greeted me first. Witch Jesus boils something in a large cauldron, filled with tons of junk.

“You're a nuisance! ”

Even though you know it's a tribute, you seemed annoyed because you were distracted from what you were doing. Inside the cauldron, a strange green liquid was boiling with a stench. Curiosity arose.

“What is it? ”

“Huh! You think you can explain that? ”

However, Jesus explained a little as if he didn't hate to show interest in his work.

“This is an acidic bomb I developed. Combining acidity and bombs, there must be something more powerful! Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh! If this succeeds, you'll be rich! ”

“You're amazing.”

First, I tried hard. Luckily, witches don't hate it.

“Of course! Be careful not to touch this. There will be a great Satan. ”

“Of course.”

“Anyway, what tribute did you bring? ”

My grandson gave me a pre-prepared bag of money. Then Jesus drags his pocket with his long, dirty fingernails and laughs.

“That's a fair amount. So, what do you want with the tribute? It's only been a few days since I made a tribute in town. ”

I was mistaken for a villager nearby. I know the rules for going through swamps, so I have to.

“Witch of the swamp. I'd like to ask you to solve your problem and receive your prize. ”

“What?”

Jesus seems to have heard something he didn't think of.

“That's funny, kid. Do you really think you can fix this? Failure will consume you. If you say it was nonsense now, I will forgive you for seeing this tribute. Go away!”

I asked her to do it again. I'm usually so interested in problems that I'm risking my life to challenge the Witch's problems. I pleaded with him.

“What a strange Ahazi. Good. Then there's nothing I can't give you. ”

Jesus couldn't hide his evil expression. I felt like I was already dead in her head.

“Thank you."

“What a thank-you. I was hungry at work, but I'm even more grateful. Chuckle. Now, listen. There are three problems related to ancient history. ”

“Yes.”

“What is the adage engraved on the staff of Gram the Great Sage of the Nagas? ”

Jesus was confident. Her questions were high-end knowledge that only a few of the Horsemen could reach. How do Humans know the Naga Apocalypse? That it lived in ancient times.

I played a game and studied their history and culture to fight the powerful horsemen. It was a very difficult game, and I had to study it a lot.

Honestly, you'll learn more about the Horsemen's secrets than the Witch of the Swamp, Jesus. I'm getting yawns.

“Grace is doubled, and vengeance is tenfold. ”

As soon as I answered, Jesus was surprised and his eyes fluttered.

“What? What? How could a human know that? ”

“I did some studying. ”

“I can't believe it. Coincidence. Next problem. Where is the tomb of the Demon King Patuca 400 years ago? ”

I felt the arrogance of not knowing this from Jesus. It was a matter that was told to be wrong openly. The answer is you don't even know the crazy High Horse.

“It lies deep in the valley of Lem, the hidden vision of the Magic Cube. ”

“What!”

As soon as I answer again, Jesus provokes the whole body. She trembles, pointing at me with a cane.

“What are you! How do you know that? ”

“Next question, please. ”

“You!”

Jesus looked serious and said he would have a problem that he didn't know about this time. The next question was too easy for me, a horse expert.

“How many Demon Kings are currently onstage in the empire? ”

“Thirty-three. ”

All kinds of Demon Kings are rampaging, but there are many who are hidden in darkness. It's hard to see everything. But there's no way I can't figure out how many times I've played this game. When he said thirty-three in one go, Jesus was dumbfounded.

“How... How did all these guys come out?" ”

Jesus pulls out a pouch from his arms while shaking his hands.

She threw it at me.

“Here lies the Fruit of the Dragon, called the elixir of Heaven. No matter how drunk you are, you'll be reborn. Huh! Take it. Giving it to the person in question is a promise I made in my name, so I don't want to break it. ”

“Thank you."

I picked up the Dragon Fruit that Jesus gave me. I struck down Jesus after him when I was a warrior in the past, but we can't do that now, so let's retreat.

“Of course.”

I was about to leave in a hurry, but all of a sudden Jesus calls me.

“Wait.”

Turning to an ominous hunch, Jesus smiles at me like an evil spirit. And her magic wand is pointed this way.

“As promised, I gave you the Fruit of the Dragon. But I never said I'd let you go. ”

It was strange. When I came as a warrior in the past, I was finished with the Fruit of the Dragon. It didn't come out this way.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Is it just me? When I was a warrior, I was strong, so I had to stay put.

“This is a different deal! ”

“I never break a promise! ”

Jesus shot me with rays from the wand while working hard. That's it. You feel the spirit fly and you lose consciousness.

* * *

“Hnng... ”

This groaning is probably coming from my mouth. My body is so heavy and hard. I heard loud chatter nearby and forced my eyes to open.

“Keek, keek! It's been a long time! I'm drooling! ”

“You must be light and tasty as a child. The wrinkly old man smells and tastes like shit. ”

The situation soon became clear. I opened my eyes and looked forward. Five ugly-looking witches were chatting excitedly in the middle of a huge pot.

No, fuck it. What's going on here? It seemed like he was going to cook me up in a cauldron. This was a subterranean dig, I see. There were tons of human bones in the cave and all kinds of junk.

“Ugh.”

I tried to move quickly, but my arms were tied behind my back. I stubbed my hand to assess what was not caught. Then something sharp, like a broken bone, touched my hand.

But the next moment I saw the snake, I had to freeze like a frog. A witch was staring at me. I almost lost my heart.

“You broke this. ”

“What?"

I turn my head in unison to the words of the witch who stares at me. It was one ugly look.

“Wait a little longer! Sweetheart! I'm going to take your bones and flesh and eat it deliciously! ”

“Chuckle! His heart is mine! ”

“Then the thighs are mine! ”

“You always liked that puffy flesh! ”

They started arguing with spices and ingredients to put in the cauldron.

“The males get the whiplash. You have to pack a lot of rosemary! ”

“Shut up! Don't you know I hate the smell of rosemary! Bitch!"

Turns out, I still have time to make it a Communion. What are we gonna do? First, I desperately recalled the five sisters of Harbell.

I remembered that the five of them were very bad, unlike what they looked like on the outside. They cannot hide their ugly jealousy from each other.

Their names are Jeju, Caldura, Fugu, Gunda and Oldae, respectively. Witches in the swamp were famous punitive targets, so they hit each other once in a while while while playing the game.

I remembered what the witches said back then. And I realized that I could alienate them.

Zec.

While I was thinking about it, I was moving my hands behind my back, cutting the rope with a sharp bone. I mean, she's totally naked, right? This isn't human. This is meat.

Tuck!

Finally, the rope that tied my hands was broken. I still opened my mouth pretending to be bound.

“Strange, by the way. ”

I can't believe all the witches look at me like I didn't know what to say.

“What? What did he say? ”

“Jesus said he didn't call you, so why did you call him? I thought you said you ate too much to ruin the party. ”

“No? What the hell are you talking about? ”

Jeju was embarrassed, but the witch Pugul was already blushing. She is particularly large because her ancestors had ogre blood. The other witches were fun and playful. I kept making fun of this gap.

“Gunda, didn't you just get your magic reagent stolen? ”

“Huh? That's right! How should I know!”

“That's what Jesus stole with his family. Rip open that frog's belly right there. Lost things will come out. ”

Once I got stronger, I remembered a lot of my past quests. I just threw what I could, and eventually the witches started pulling at each other's heads.

“Bitch! Why is my stuff coming out of your toad boat?! ”

“How should I know? ”

“Thief! ”

“You fucking bitch! ”

The five witches ruling the swamp began to fight uglily. The only reason you don't use magic is because you don't want to cross the line. If we use magic here, we're doomed.

I woke up in the middle of it. And I pushed Jesus, who was showing his back.

“Die!”

A big pot of boiling water.

Boom!

Witch Jesus fell into the boiling water.

“Shhh!”

The tearing screams burst. I didn't stop there. Jesus picks up the missing staff and slaps her forehead out of the water.

“Bitch!"

Puck!

“Grr!”

The right Jeju dives back into the water. But I got out again and I hit him again. The tears were exploding.

“You fucking cunt! I'm gonna eat you! ”

Phew!

That moment! You broke the wand as you went along. And from the broken magic wand, a spontaneous flame began to rise.

Bloop!

It wasn't just that. Phi Jung! Phew! You hear a sound and start shooting fireworks or something from the broken part of your wand.

“Shhh!”

A witch burns her head and struggles. There's chaos everywhere. I threw the staff at the witches, then swept the entire stack of reagents off the table with both hands and threw them into the fire.

Kwaaaa! Boom! Ka-ang!

There was an explosion in a row. The catacombs have plunged into chaos.

“Bitches! You're all dead today! ”

I was completely out of my mind because of the anger that I almost got eaten by humiliation.
