95. Securing Yunin Oasis Hunting demons that become flesh and blood (3)

During the three days leading to Yunin Oasis, Yuma went to the underworld with Rakir at each camp.

In the meantime, Yuma absorbed about 15 aegwans and almost killed Rakir in royalties about 10 times.

It was the last camping day. By now, I would be arriving at Yunin Oasis in the afternoon.

“It looks dangerous these days…

Natalie said, sitting on a rock, looking at Yuma, who was enjoying life all over her body. Yuma had just been to the Underworld with Rakir.

Yuma’s eyes were full of venom, as if he had been beaten unimaginably by Rakir in the underworld this time as well.

[Whoops. In the past three days you have made remarkable progress, my lord.

Not even you will know how great the master is doing.]

It certainly was.

No matter how they heard about the underworld, it was not easy for Natalina and the others to picture in their heads.

When preparing for camp, Yuma and Rakir always stayed still as if they had fallen asleep for about two hours.

And when he wakes up, Rakir laughs haha and praises Yuma, and Yuma eats the meal prepared by the party with a bloody expression.

Natalie, Cheryl, and Randel all started to worry about Yuma after about three days. It was because people seemed to be getting more and more inclined to evil.

So ready!”

Natalie shouted, deliberately faking a bright voice. The meal has just been prepared.

During the two hours that Yuma and Rakir had gone to the Underworld just now, Natalie went out to the river in the Tulka to fetch special ingredients for Yuma.

[Oh oh oh. Humans’ cooking seems to be excellent sometimes…]

Rakir snorted as he clung to the golden-brown meat.

“Get your snout out, you mutt.

Knock.”

[Keeing…. a heartless bitch.]

“Oh! Natalie! I want to eat them too! Relieve me too!”

“Brother Ballinan. do you really want to eat I put in a bunch of poisonous plants that can be poison to some and medicine to others.”

“Ugh ♦•…. I’m fine then.”

“Natalie! I can still eat well. haha.”

“Hoho Sir Randell, you better put your hands away.”

that. okay. hmm.”

The identity of the food that made their mouths salivate was grilled dragon turtle beef.

Dragon turtle was one of Yuma’s favorite health foods and was a very valuable ingredient.

I was thinking of taking the tulka to the riverside and catching a few good fish, but I got lucky. They were able to find a pair of dragon turtles sleeping hidden in a rock crevice.

After Natalie roasted the two of them over a campfire and gave Sheryl a little something to eat, she approached Yuma with a plate full of dragon turtles.

“Yuma. Eat this and clear your face.”

“thank you.”

Yuma smiled faintly and popped a piece of dragon turtle meat into her mouth.

Yuma’s face suddenly became lively as the thick juice burst and wrapped around his tongue.

Satisfied with the reaction, Natalie sat with her chin on her chin and watched Yuma eat.

Yuma gulped down his meat and stared at Natalie as if he had remembered something.

“sorry. I ate half by myself. Eat together.”

“It’s okay, I made you eat it. eat it all Is it delicious?”

“greatly.”

Seeing the two laughing as they exchanged meat, Rakir felt sad for some reason, and his ears drooped downwards.

Barinan and Randell also felt oddly defeated.

[joy! I also had a partner in the underworld.]

“Me too, Lhasa in Kantra…

I don’t have anyone. Cheryl, you are with me.”

“I don’t like it, Sir Randall.”

After consuming the Dragon Turtle in a very combative way, Yuma stood up.

“Good job Natalie. Thanks to you, I have some strength.”

“Where are you going?”

huh. I can smell the offspring of demons nearby.”

“what?”

“I can feel the energy of a couple of low-level possessors in the forest over there. I have to go and absorb it.”

Saying that, Yuma turned her head and glared at Rakir.

“You wait and see, I will kill you in the underworld.”

After training with Rakir in the Underworld began, Yuma’s biggest concern was strengthening his body in the Underworld.

As soon as possible, I had to step on that puppy on the throne of the southern part of the underworld.

Of course, it wasn’t just out of vengeance against Rakir.

As the body of the Underworld became stronger, Inse’s body also had special abilities.

That was the case even in the case of now.

Although the body of the underworld had not yet formed a single finger properly, the body’s ability to detect the aura unique to the underworld had greatly increased.

It was an effect obtained thanks to his whole body enduring the magic of the nether world fired by Rakir.

“You mean you can feel the smell of demons?”

“huh. I will be back.”

Yuma said as she climbed onto the Tulka.

Now that they have the ability to detect demons far away, they need to go and absorb them even if they can’t see them.

A couple of low-level possessors were only a small amount of food, but when the dust gathered, it became a great mountain.

‘I think my right index finger will start to gain weight soon.’

Two low-class possessors were eating wild animals in the forest. Judging by their behavior, they were thieves.

As soon as they saw Yuma, they clumsily attempted to threaten them, but within 3 seconds they were absorbed into Amoula.

Yuma bit into the pipe as he watched the possessors turn into black sand and cling to Arilla.

I remembered what Rakir said a few days ago.

– You are saying something strange. As long as he owns Awolla, it can be said that the lord has become more than half of the demons. Can’t you use a black aura too?

Certainly, even if you’re a demon, you won’t feel uncomfortable at all. Yuma thought as he exhaled smoke.

To think that he is becoming more like the person he hated the most. A bitter laugh came out.

But what about humans and what about demons? It was enough to become stronger, prevent the invasion of demons, and prepare for the dragon horse war.

‘Sentimental thoughts are forbidden. There was also a feeling that the recent improvement in inaction was a bit slow, so I think it’s a stimulus.’

Become a demon to defeat the demon.

Looking back, Yuma was a very suitable person for this logic. When confronting corrupt aristocrats, he himself committed corrupt things and gained power to defeat those in power.

I couldn’t say that it was the best, but I didn’t regret it either. Extermination of the demons should have been done as before.

‘It would be nice to be able to absorb high-level demons in Yunin Oasis.’

Thinking so, Yuma returned to the tent and went to sleep. Rakir smiled while wagging his tail, as if he was proud of his lord who had already been searching for demons and eating them.

By afternoon the next day, the group was able to reach Yunin Oasis.

“Uh hmm. Do people in the East call this kind of oasis?”

“Wow… it’s so beautiful.”

Looking at the blue waves that spread endlessly far away, the party exclaimed in exclamation.

Brilliant sunlight illuminating the desert afternoon broke the surface of the oasis, scattering light like jewels.

A few men and women who appeared to be desert people were also seen fetching water with buckets.

“Fortunately, it seems that this place has not been invaded yet. It seems like there was no betrayal by anyone.”

Randell said.

At first glance, Yunin Oasis maintained a peaceful atmosphere, as if war or invasion were stories from another world.

Yunin Oasis was an ambiguous area to designate as the territory of any particular country.

Geographically, it was bordered by countries such as Seruka Amel Chaylan Kuzan, but it was not owned by any country.

It looks peaceful, but this Yunin Oasis is where the most battles took place in Eastern history. If you occupy this place, you will no longer have to worry about drinking water, so neighboring countries waged war against each other every time.”

[Keuk-kuk humans.]

But as the war continued, the water in this vast Yunin oasis quickly dried up. As if mocking the human war, the oasis did not provide water.

So there was a proverb like this in Yunin province. Don’t draw your sword in front of Oasis.

In a way, this was the area closest to the symbol of ‘peace’ in the East.

This is what Valli Nunn explained as we approached the oasis.

One of the water spirits, Lulu, naturally clung to Ballinan’s shoulder. It was a spirit born in an oasis.

A gust of clean, refreshing wind brushed the nape of the group’s neck. The group entered the village feeling refreshed after a long time.

The attention of the desert people was focused on the party riding the tulka. Their eyes were full of curiosity rather than fear.

“Are you a traveler?”

A middle-aged man spoke to Yuma and the others.

“Yuma Drake, who is on a special mission for Emperor Rugal. Oh, I’m here to see the commander of the Asis army.”

“Ah, you came to visit Bappa. Bapa is taking care of the children now.”

Are you taking care of children? The commander of the Oasis army?”

“exactly. You are educating.”

“Hasn’t there been news of Lagatino Rollmandi yet in Yunin?”

“I heard that a war broke out, but the commander won’t take care of it? We just deliver drinking water to each place.

Outside the village, there were desert elephants hanging from a huge barrel of drinking water.

I ran to it, worried about what would happen if I had already been invaded, but it felt strange because it was so peaceful.

“Hmm. Could you please give us a little help, Commander?”

“Follow me.”

The place where Yuma and the others arrived following the man was a building built in the middle of the village. The sound of children singing could be heard from inside the building.

“It’s a new school that Bappa-nim recently founded.”

‘School..?’

It was right that children should be given the right to education.

But on the outside, demons are raising an army and trying to devour the entire east. Did you even hear the news and build a school?

The group shook their heads, not understanding.

The man left the words to take care of his business slowly and went on his way.

“On my way there, I saw that there was no separate security force organized, and there were no outside guards. My friend, that commander named Bappa… You don’t seem to have prepared anything?”

School is not enough even if you build a wooden fence right away, request support here and there, and enter the wartime system!

Randel was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even get angry.

“Let’s go in and meet Bappa. Take a look at what kind of person you are.”

Tulka and Rakir had to be left outside.

Bappa was standing on the podium and giving a history lesson to the children.

It was about the history of peace in Yunin Oasis that Barlinan had just explained.

A face with thick lines on a magnificent skeleton.

He had the appearance of a typical military commander.

“Oh, you have a guest. Kids, today’s class should end here.”

The children waved at Yuma and the others. The group couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and shake hands.

When class ended, the children left the school with bright and lively faces. It was a form of school that can be found anywhere in the West or the East.

“What did you come to see me for?”

Bappa said, shaking hands.

“Commander Barfa, what are you thinking? There’s a war going on outside…

Yuma held Bappa’s hand with a displeased face, then stopped talking and was startled.

‘What is this… isn’t this bastard a mid-level, or a high-level demon possessor? I almost couldn’t recognize him because he hid his energy.’

Bappa was wearing a friendly smile.
