Episode 218:
I felt nauseous.
I began to wonder if I had seen something wrong.
No, I hoped I had seen it wrong.
That’s how terrible the scene was. A sight I had never seen before, even when I came here.
Bane thought it was strange that I was blank for a long time, so he approached me and started talking to me.
“What happened…”
His face hardened as he turned his gaze to follow me.
His eyes grew bigger and bigger, and then it looked like they were about to tear apart at any moment.
“…doggish.”
His bloodshot eyes expressed his feelings.
As I looked at his face, which was distorted like that of a demon, I wondered if my face was distorted like that too.
“Those who will tear you to death…!”
Then a voice full of anger is heard.
I reflexively looked to the side and saw Arjuna pulling the string of his bow.
I screamed inwardly and hurriedly grabbed her shoulder as the protest was pulled so tightly as if it was going to shoot at any moment.
“Arjuna!”
She looks back at me.
The whites of her eyes were stained red as she looked at me.
Did a blood vessel in my eye burst?
Her tears became increasingly red.
I strengthened the hand holding her shoulder.
I looked at her, telling her not to shoot the arrow.
She made eye contact with me for a while and then slowly relaxed her grip on the string.
The green arrow that had formed in her hand turned into smoke and disappeared.
“…shit.”
She looked up at the sky and swore.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand how she felt.
I too trembled with anger as I looked at the barbarians.
Heat surged from a corner of my chest.
My instincts were screaming that I had to tear them down immediately.
Only reason was telling me that I needed to stay calm in times like this, and right now I was barely holding on to that reason.
“I knew they ate human flesh, but…”
The ranger who came with us sighed.
Even he, who had been fighting barbarians for a long time, could not get used to that scene.
“Really… it sucks.”
I swore softly.
I feel like if I don’t solve it like this, my insides will get so hot that I’ll die.
Wow!
A scream is heard.
female? man? Perhaps because the voices were hoarse, it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.
All I could think was a bunch of people screaming.
Bake it right!
I like life!
The voices of barbarians are heard.
They were eating people.
Elves, people with pointy ears, were being eaten alive by their hands.
It wasn’t just Elf.
“They… are members of your tribe, Arjuna.”
“…yes.”
She gritted her teeth and answered.
She grits her teeth and her cheeks tremble. Even though she didn’t say anything, I felt like I could feel what she was feeling.
“I won’t tell you to endure it. “That would be cruel to you.”
she looks at me A question arose in her eyes, burning with anger, as if she didn’t understand when I told her not to hold back.
“Hold that anger. Keep it and release it when dealing with them. But… not now.”
Anger is helpful in battle.
Because of anger, you don’t feel any pain and only want to kill your enemies.
Appropriate anger helps. If it’s too much, it can be a problem, but she needs anger now.
And I had to know that there was an opportunity to release that anger.
Only then will I be able to endure the present somehow.
“You may feel angry, but please suppress those feelings for now.”
“Is this an order…?”
“Please.”
“….”
She was silent for a while and slowly nodded.
The anger didn’t go away, but she suppressed it.
“Then you can carry out your mission, right?”
Bane, who was preparing for Arjuna to go on a rampage, asks with a light sigh.
If she rushed at them without any hesitation, their entire schedule would be ruined.
Maybe we had to make drastic changes to what we had planned so far.
‘Because I didn’t find that at the time.’
When I went scouting with the elves, I couldn’t take a closer look.
At that time, all I could do was glance at the surface.
That was inevitable because the chief was patrolling.
The great warrior’s sense was so good that he would have definitely been caught if he had not caught and hid the elf who was running ahead.
It felt like we were miles away.
What I felt every time I saw him was that the world was very unfair.
A barbarian who not only has a monster-like body with the strength of an ogre and the regenerative power of a troll, but also has excellent auric sensitivity and became a master.
If Bane had not come here, if I had not met the barbarians personally, if I had not become the benefactor of the elves, if I had not met the World Tree.
You don’t have to think long to guess what would have happened to Easton if you went back without knowing anything.
No matter how veteran Easton is in battles with barbarians, it is difficult to withstand the Master. Even if you have the same Master, Easton, without a Master, cannot stop the barbarian.
In some ways, it can be said that it was fortunate that we found the chief earlier.
“But I think we should postpone burning it a little later.”
“Um… why?”
“If I do well… I think I can create a means to disrupt them.”
As I was looking at the elves and Red Hawk tribe members chained up in a temporary prison made of wood, a good method occurred to me.
There is no need to start a fire right away.
A better way came to mind.
If I do well, I think I can reduce their power without having to use any force.
“Arjuna, you said your tribe members are definitely experts at archery, right?”
“yes.”
“Can I use a bow even in that condition?”
“The Red Hawk can lift a bow in any condition. That’s how I’ve been trained.”
A light appeared in her eyes as if she knew what I was trying to say.
I nodded in satisfaction at her answer.
Okay, if I could use a bow, this operation would have been successful.
“Lord Bane.”
“…?”
“How are you feeling? “I think it looks a bit dull.”
He was puzzled by my words, but his eyes widened at what I continued to say.
By the end, he was laughing as if his mouth were torn apart.
He nodded as if he liked it very much.

hungry. I’m bored.
Walking around the hut, the savage scratched his stomach.
I was hungry. I had eaten meat a little while ago, but when I turned around, my stomach felt empty, as if I had never eaten before.
His eyes turn to the wooden fence.
‘Food’ was seen with both hands tied and a leash like a dog.
Food that the chieftain himself has recently hunted.
As expected of those who move their bodies around, their flesh is so chewy and soft.
That was when I tasted it for the first time and I have never forgotten it since.
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
He looked at the ‘food’ and whetted his appetite.
“Krrrrr.”
The ‘food’ glared at him and growled.
He paid no attention to the reactions of the human-shaped foods.
Instead, he just said that it was boring and whetted his appetite.
‘Should I just eat one?’
He thought as he instinctively approached the food.
Then he quickly shook his head.
Although he was hungry, the chief was scared.
“It hurts when you get hit by the chieftain.”
How many of our colleagues actually died while coveting food?
Even if you spread out all ten fingers and ten toes, you would not be able to count them.
Because he saw it in person, he couldn’t even touch the food even though he was drooling.
‘But the chief is not here now…’
Savages were creatures closer to beasts than humans.
A beast that relies on instinct rather than reason.
It is true that I saw it in person, but I was not hit directly.
Maybe that’s why the barbarian’s instinct gradually shifted from fear to hunger.
‘Just one bite and the chief won’t even notice.’
they are not smart
Therefore, they did not know that their single bite would ultimately kill their ‘food’.
Maybe you know it, but you ignore it.
“Okay, let’s just have a bite…”
Is it because there are no barbarians around? It was quick for him to be consumed by his instincts.
The barbarian slowly approaches the food.
His hand reached out to the fence and he ignored the growls glaring at him.
The savage hand was about to grab one of the provisions by the neck and lift it up.
Quaaaaang- A huge roar was heard.
The roar did not end in just one time.
Quang! Kwaaaaang! A series of loud noises erupted, and debris could be seen flying high into the sky not far away.
“…!”
The savage lost the food in his hand.
His face instantly became colored with excitement.
“It’s the enemy!”
“It’s war!”
Hearing the shouts of his colleagues, he started running in the direction from which the roar was heard.
Before he knew it, thoughts related to ‘food’ had disappeared from his mind.
What was more important to them than eating was fighting.
They say that if you are going to fight, it is okay to starve for the sake of battle.
“It’s war!”
he shouts. As he runs toward the enemy, his comrades are seen running out with weapons in hand.
He picked up a wooden club lying around randomly.
And then he rushed towards the vaguely visible enemy.
Kwasik – The sound of a watermelon breaking is heard.
“Tsk, that’s a lot.”
The contemptuous voice was the last voice he heard alive.
Bane attacked the supply party head on.
He boldly displayed the Master’s power and destroyed everything he came across.
The savages gathered at the commotion.
He didn’t mind it one bit.
To begin with, there was no strong person here who could be his opponent.
“Hahahaha! “It’s war!”
Although there was a warrior chief, he was only torn apart miserably in front of his sword.
Die and kill.
He killed and killed the barbarians.
He didn’t even care about the blood and dirt on his body and only focused on killing them and causing trouble.
As he cuts down the barbarian, his eyes turn to the inside of the supply unit.
Contrary to his gaze, he did not leave the entrance.
As if his goal was to cause a commotion, he only made a fuss at the entrance.
Anyone with even the slightest sense would have noticed something strange.
It’s really unfortunate and I’m really happy that they didn’t have the brains to think like that.
Because in their minds, they were worse than animals whose only desire was to fight and eat.
As the barbarians rushed to the entrance, a group of people moved from behind the supply unit.
They quickly turned to what the barbarians called ‘food’.
I walked towards them who were gagged.
“…Fuck.”
A woman spits out an expletive. The barbarian prisoners raised their heads at the insult and looked at her.
“…!”
Their eyes widen.
Some of them had tears in their eyes as if they couldn’t believe it.
After looking at her and the prisoners, Raymond raised his sword and swung it at the wooden fence.
Suddenly, Raymond said, pointing to the prisoners whose fences had been cut and were left dazed.
“It moves quickly.”
