Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 8: The Swamp Demon - The Curse Wetlands of the Time

Malicious attacks on surrounding villages.

Zancok-led Ralman's covert task force, with its "ceremony", was building a new base to investigate the destroyed forces.

"Nh...."

……

Hanham turns away from the unmanned village.

The bodies rolled all over the place, spreading a tragic sight of blood and corpses.

The sad screams that echoed earlier stick to your ears.

There is still a fog of blood in the workplace due to intense annihilation.

I hope that everyone in the crew will snow by night.

It may be bad weather.

If you can cover up this sight.

"I can't believe it took just a few dozen seconds to destroy the village..." Of all the monsters, the strength of the ceremony can be said to be broken. "

Zancok looks proudly at the village at the edge of Ralman, beyond the "bamboo ceremony" where he emerged from the fog.

Look at the village where there were definitely signs of people.

"So, Second Lieutenant... did I have to do this far..."

Zancok's malicious intentions that attacked a long and quiet village.

Nausea and opinions of Hanham are unbearable.

"Jun... Jun... Jun... Jun... You're not conscious enough."

"Are you conscious?

Hannam, the rookie, can't keep up with Zancok's astonishing words.

"It's a historic operation. I have a duty to maintain the morale of my crew. If you are aware that you are one of those honorable men, devote your thoughts and actions only to fulfilling your mission."

"... that's right.... hah! Excuse me!

Hannam's way of thinking changes as he receives a good assurance that he abandoned the small for the sake of the big one.

Okay.

Nod one by one, turn around and give instructions to the twelve selected officers.

"... we'll fix the beds. Rest well tonight. I will go to my usual place tomorrow. Be prepared to act quickly."

"" "" "" Ha!!!

♢♢♢

Kars Wetlands.

Crows with bone strips on their faces, knights and soldiers with skeletons.

Even tough monster caves like bone-only dragons.

In this area of unique purple and poisonous green trees and plants, all obstacles were lost in the center, with only the rounded land.

"………………" Solanada ""

Sounds that echo from the bottom of the earth and flow directly into the brain.

The Lord of the wetland monsters sitting on the rocks in the heart of the land calls me (my servant), the most powerful man besides myself.

"Would you like to sit down?"

You're out of your mind.

[Swamp Demon] tells the butler of the skeleton head of the goat who emerged from the fog.

"Did you have anything to worry about?

Didn't you notice...

A disappointing mix of sighs.

The butler, called Solanada, hurts an object that shouldn't have been in the swelling magic of the absolute in front of him.

"... I'm sorry to sit down. I don't know what you're talking about...."

Check it out.

Should I say that I was stunned or disappointed? [Swamp Demon] "Molly” pointed forward with her jaw.

"... no.... there was no reaction to Molly's thick fog..."

From there, Molly's [swamp demon] appearance floats silently in front of the land...... the "moon formula".

This is what happens when you don't rely on the magic of the bamboo shooter. Play. "

"Well, I don't even have the words to return it. Immediately..."

That's enough. Stand back. "

But...

If you cut through the servants and arrive here, you will be the opponent. Let's do it the way it was decided. "

Slap the thighs of his bones over the rags, tell him the end of the story, and drive the butler away.

"Well then....."

I feel a sign of the butler disappearing in the fog moving over a tree overlooking the land.

And Molly...

"... monsters like the Lord (Nushi) are unknown to me as oligarchs. It's weird... Its appearance, its wings, and... its chain."

Point at the collar of the chain and laugh happily.

Tied up.... it doesn't seem to be a relic... but it's interesting.... it's interesting... "

Molly's words echoed gradually lower.

When it was over, Kakon and the skeleton's jaw were wide open.

─ Mail over.

The magic of the mood is overflowing all at once.

Ah...

The green magic that erupts from the ruler of the swamp takes up the surroundings in an instant.

It's been a long time since I've had anything to do with the magic tools of the outside world. Cuckoo! I didn't know this was going to happen.... let's hurry up. "

The hand of the bone stretched slowly to urge you to run scared.

The emotions of the unknown greed at the bottom of the skeleton are conveyed even if you don't like it.

Reach out with pleasure and evil intentions.

It is easier to understand than to create an expression, regardless of the mere presence of bones of an unusually damaging shape.

………

……

"Hih!?

Hanham, who had been watching from afar, had been particularly exposed to Molly's ferocity.

"No, what! I didn't hear you! What is this magic!?

Even Zancok and the others behind the remote cliffs were swallowed by the magic of the king of the swamp.

Legend has it that evil is a monster in form.

The legend of the swamp demon that everyone was listening to as a story halfway through.

"Ah, wait, do you want me to retreat? Yes, no, but the mission must succeed!!

"... Second Lieutenant, I wonder if it is possible to return if it is a 'ceremony'. Then once or twice, after seeing in the hands of [the demon of the swamp], you shall not be ordered to withdraw."

Hanham, whose face is blue more than anyone, advises his superiors, leaving behind the trembling crew.

"Fu, fum, let's do that..."

Okay, I'll give you a signal.

"Ah, ahh, good."

Tell Zancok briefly and keep watching.

……

Once upon a time, countless people made a pact with this monster.

How many people have fulfilled their dreams?

Still, the monster's ambition was endless.

But I can understand that now.

[Demon of the Swamp (...)], it's strange to say.

Fascinated by the demon, Hannam was afraid but impatient to see the powerful power of the [Demon of the Swamp].

……

………

"─!!

I instinctively realized that I also had to (...) escape this monster.

However, the command to "pull out the performance of [the demon of the swamp]” conveys the chain and binds the "ceremony".

――

The fog's wings erupt even more, and the "spiral formula" rises.

"Because things are unusual. I'll give you the lead.

Molly laughs at the unknown beast as she squeaks her bones.

"─!"

Molly laughs, and the fog wings are huge.

The instant----the land exploded.

Form a needle from the fog and shoot it like rain.

A needle rain that rains extensively on land and surrounding marshes, mainly on Molly.

There is no escape, no matter how bony they are, they will not be spared.

"... what? Is this the end of the trick?

"Hmm!?

Even though it still fell on the needle, he said that it was very unexpected.

The needles pouring down one after the other were bounced back into the bones... "The formula" and Hanham were completely disoriented.

No matter how powerful a monster is, they don't understand.

――

"... I'm just sad. The rest of the world is just getting weaker... Why don't you think about the feeling of immortality watching the degradation...."

A "needle formula" that stops the needle rain and flows the body as a mist.

However, even when I see a beast that can be said to be such an anomaly, I continue to moan in an unchanging tone.

Suddenly, the skeleton's head turned back.

"... uhh?

"Hmm!?

All of a sudden, the skull turned around to the "kanji style", where he appeared behind him.

The posture of the cushion is immobile, with only its fierce head.

"Nh!!!!

Raise the voiceless sound of fear and grasp it with your front leg against your will without being able to escape.

Hemkell's Curse.

One of Molly's Magic is activated.

A magical formation is built in the sitting area, from which a number of character bands (...) pop out.

A long time ago.

Words of curse.

They become many bands and are entangled in the gigantic arms of the rolled out "kanji".

─ Touch it.

"─!?

With the pleasant words of Molly, the words of the curse permeate the "formula".

Immediately afterwards, it sucks up the magic of the host and releases it momentum outside.

"-------!!

A beast panicked by rapidly losing magic.

Let's do something about it. If there is no magic left, it will suck up your vitality, and even after you die, it will suck up blood. It's going to last till you run out of smoke! "

"A-!!

Although Molly advised the "Summon Monster Formula" and waited for the timing of the breathtaking death, while thinking it was useless, the "Summon Monster Formula" escaped.

"... if you become like fog, the curse belt will come off. I don't know."

The foggy, desolated "bamboo ceremony" retreats with new orders.

Knowledge is wider and deeper than the sea. I've learned it again..... "

The ruler of the swamp who is grateful and grateful holds his hand.

I'll forget about it. It's not a waste of knowledge. - Trigor's Thunderspear.

Gives discipline and dark green thunder.

♢♢♢

"... I'm here!!

"Ooh!! The boulder is a" kanji style "! Unrivaled enemies will never make it back!

From the center of the wetland, the blue fog returns through the sky.

Both the crew and Zancok rejoiced with peace of mind.

However,

--The sky is dyed in green light.

"─!!

Molly's lightning spear sweeps away the fog and takes down the "Summon Monster".

"Hmm!!

"Ghh..."

The heat that hit the skin directly with fire ran out, and in front of the squad... the "Pokémon" fell.

"Nah!? If so, don't be silly..." The "Kanji" is wounded.... "

"Ku, uu... I'm sure... the report said that I could withstand most lightning magic..."

The crew were stunned by the abnormality of things while being hit by the heat and sound of thunder.

"Yes, Second Lieutenant. What do you want to do...? Is that monster honestly the strength to fit into human space... Lieutenant?

……

Zancok was relieved.

A Ralman weapon given with an unprecedented chance.

At the dawn of the completion of the mission, you may officially become the owner of the "ceremony".

"... around the village"

"What, what? Aren't you going around the village...?

Respond to Hanham's question by staring at the staggering "Eye Formula" with mad eyes.

"--Certain beasts have certain properties (...). It's the same thing with the" Kanji ceremony "...."

Malicious accelerates.

♢♢♢

"... I'm dying."

"You definitely have the best seat in the last few years. Even if it wasn't a direct hit, I didn't think Molly's lightning would burn it out."

Sornada appears in front of Molly, who hasn't moved a bit since the mysterious beast attacked her.

What a pity......

"... it's very rare for Molly to want something that isn't decorated with jewelry or anything like that."

Apart from magic, Molly groans deeply that she is only interested in elaborately designed magic tools, accessories, or jewellery.

Solanada wondered what she saw.

"What is that chain?

"... if you can't get it, just forget it. Come on, get back."

"... so..."

Solanada disappears into the fog again without getting any answers.

……

After all, it is one of countless visitors.

So truncated, the ruler of the swamp will harden again.

Until you see your next visitor.
