Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound - Chapter 230
Episode 230 Tuition Fee (6)
An uproar erupted in the quiet forest just before.
Don’t fall out! Ppusishishi! Wasasasasasasa…
The screams of the gnolls being fried in oil were tearing up the night sky.
A nasty stinking smell from wild beasts being burned alive flows out of the burrow.
Those who barely survived were all covered in hot oil.
[Grrruk! Grrrrrr!]
[Kaeng-kiing!]
[Kwaaaaagh!]
All of the gnolls, writhing in pain, jumped out of the cave, baring their teeth and nails.
A wounded beast has a narrowed field of vision. That is to say, there is nothing to see.
No matter how dangerous it was, it was a C+ rank monster, but the killing spree it spewed out was comparable to that of a monster of a higher rank.
however.
…Poo-wook!
In front of Bikir’s hands, all of those struggles were meaningless.
A crude iron skewer quickly pierced Gnoll’s throat.
[That’s right?]
Knoll felt a sting on the side of his neck as he was just coming out of the cave, but he was so unconcerned that he didn’t even think to look around and ran straight ahead.
But, of course, because of the hole in his neck, he staggered to his knees without being able to take a few steps.
Kung-
A few seconds of red blood spraying violently from his throat, Knoll slumps on the spot and stops breathing with blank eyes.
Bikir stayed close to the burrow, poking his skewer through the throats of the gnolls as they jumped out of the burrow.
…suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck! …suck!
There is nothing to sting too much. Just once. I stretched out my arm with strength and then retrieved it.
Every time the iron skewer monotonously goes back and forth, the knolls that have jumped out of the burrow fall over and pile up in front.
Eventually, all the gnolls that jumped out of the burrow became cold corpses and piled up in the clearing in front of the burrow.
Bikir roughly wiped the blood off his face and ran his hair through his hair.
“Looks like it’s over.”
The scene of a terrifying slaughter.
Watching the killing technique unfold without a single error and its tremendous proficiency, Minipin couldn’t help but stick out his tongue.
“…… What the hell is the boss doing?”
“Why? Is this your first time catching a gnoll?”
“Of course I’ve never seen one before. Who else catches a knoll like this?”
While Minpin finished speaking, more than ten gnolls had already fallen out of the burrow.
Minpin collected the corpses of the gnolls that kept piling up in a specific spot and loaded them onto the cart.
There are so many of them, it is clear that the cart they brought will not be able to begin. It was to the point where he had to ask for cooperation from the local government office or guild.
And even at this moment, Bikir was waiting by the oyster.
Dipping the skewer into the necks of the remnants of gnolls that pop out with lightning-like skill and pulling them out.
Right then.
[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..]
An unpleasant sound is heard from inside the cave.
As soon as Minpin heard the sound, he immediately exclaimed.
“Sir boss! Avoid! Something else will come out!”
Soon, something large came out of the hole.
It was three times the size of a normal gnoll, and was unusually black and green in hair all over its body.
Her fur was as stiff as needles, and thick, clotted oil dripped like tears from her bloodshot eyes.
Minpin exclaimed in fright.
“It’s a ‘poison gnoll’, a variant of gnolls! It’s dangerous grade A rank, and its strength and speed are dozens of times that of normal gnolls! In addition, its teeth and fingernail hairs contain a deadly poison that can drive people crazy, so even just brushing them… .!”
But there was no time for an explanation. Poison Gnoll had come out of nowhere, breaking through the narrow entrance of the burrow.
“Eight!”
Minipin grabbed his greatsword and ran towards Vikir.
It was to give the client in crisis time to escape.
but.
[Ah!]
Something like a lump of dust fell from above and stopped Minpin from risking his life.
“……Eh?”
Minpin stopped in her seat with an absurd expression on her face.
That’s also because this small lump, like an butter that fell from the sky, rushed at the Poison Knoll in front of it as soon as it touched the ground.
And what is even more surprising is that as soon as this vicious poison play was bitten on the back of the neck by this little lump of dust, it immediately rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth and passed out.
[Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..]
Poison Knoll spewed out what was inside her body through her mouth and anus as she rolled over on her feet, then completely stretched out.
“Huh?”
Minpin looked at the corpses of Vikir and Poison Knoll, dumbfounded.
Poison Play Which monster is it? Once they appeared, a small village in the mountains would be annihilated from that day onwards.
A named monster that was impossible to subjugate even if several small and medium-sized hunting guilds attacked with full force.
He even goes around with his subordinates, so in order to catch him, a large guild must mobilize an elite army.
……but.
“Nice come back.”
As Bikir beckoned, a ball of dust quickly flew up and crawled into the hem of Bikir’s sleeve.
[Nuclear nuke nuke-]
The young madam stuck out her tongue and sent her eyes as if she was looking for praise.
Meanwhile.
Minpin blinked her eyes as if she couldn’t believe that such a small lump of hair that she didn’t even know was a living creature in front of her had killed Poison Knoll in one bite (?).
“Haa, I thought these few days of being tormented by the boss were a nightmare… but now it feels more like a dream. Is this possible?”
“The reality is true, so try to estimate the compensation and the selling price of by-products.”
At Bikir’s natural command, Minpin also nodded.
And Minpin had to stick out his tongue the whole time counting the corpses of nolls and poison nols piled up in front of his eyes.
“If you count the dead bodies in the burrows, the number must be staggering. I can’t even count them right now. I think I’ll have to go out to a big city and get an appraisal from several experts.”
“I guess I’ll have to take care of all the corpses since there is a reward per dog.”
“Yes. Those who died of suffocation or had their throats punctured could be skinned and sold. Those fried in oil would be fine if only the bones were removed.
The gnoll’s burrow was still hot, so Vikir and Minipin sat outside the burrow for a while, collecting the gnoll’s bodies and waiting.
In the meantime, a few surviving gnolls often crawled out while noticing, and were cleaned up at the cub madam line.
Eventually, the heat in the cave cools down enough, and Minpin crawls inside with a torch.
As they dug up the ground and advanced little by little, they soon saw an amazing sight in a deep dungeon.
“President Sa! I think you should see this for yourself!”
Hearing Minipin’s cry, Bikir also went into the cave.
What awaited them inside was a scene so unexpected that even the always calm Bikir was quite startled.
goldfinch. Gold coins that were pickled in oil and emitting golden light were piled up in the cave.
Under the light created by the flickering torches, the gold coins cast eerie light and shadow on both sides.
It is rightly said that a person freezes when suddenly exposed to too much wealth.
“……What is all this?”
Minpin looked back at Bikir with a slightly frightened expression.
But Bikir was still unconcerned.
“Looks like someone was using this place as a safe.”
“Yes? That’s right, they’re… ah!”
Minpin exclaimed in silence.
As mentioned before, gnolls have a habit of collecting shiny things and storing them in their burrows.
It was possible that someone who took advantage of this gnoll’s habit was keeping black money here.
“There’s a lot of gnolls, so there’s no way someone else would be robbed. I’m a natural vault keeper.”
“Ha, but what kind of old man keeps his money in a gnoll’s lair?”
“Well, but at least one thing is certain.”
At Bikir’s words, Minipin tilts her head as if wondering.
And soon after, his expression turned white at Bikir’s words.
“He must be the one who has the confidence to kill all these gnolls and take the gold coins back.”
A powerful enough person to kill all the gnolls in this place as easily as opening a vault door.
What’s more, the size of the colony is so large that even Poison Nol lurks here.
“…”
Minpin trembled slightly and faced the gold coin in front of him.
A huge number of gold coins were piled up like a mountain.
Dalgrak-
Bikir picked up a gold coin that was randomly thrown on the dirt floor.
“……I don’t have a serial number.”
A gold coin that has not yet been engraved with a serial number.
In other words, it means unregistered coins that have not yet been officially distributed to banks after they have been created in the country of currency production.
“Bourgeois Demian, the director of the Mint Bureau, enacted a law requiring that banknotes and coins be engraved with unique serial numbers. Apparently, these coins were stolen before the law came into existence or right before serial numbers were engraved.”
“Are you saying that these are all bank robbing results?”
“Other than that, I can’t explain it.”
Bikir wondered if there had been reports of bank robberies recently.
……there is. there was.
Recently, there is an entity that has been destroying major facilities in the ecliptic.
[Exclusive] About the ferocity of the Hound of the Night…
-The evil deeds of the Hound of the Night have gone too far… The Hound of the Night that attacked the academy… Anti-national…… On the other hand, the main facilities in the ecliptic that were destroyed by the Night Hound during the festival were… Imperial Imperial Bank… I
remember them better because they were articles written by Vikir himself. was doing
A villain who recently raided the Imperial Imperial Bank and raked all of its wealth.
An unidentified terrorist who commits even bigger crimes by copying the crimes of night hounds.
The moment Bikir comes up with a name he doesn’t like.
“……!”
It casts an ominous shadow over reality.
Something long and large fell in front of Bikir and Minipin, who quickly jumped out of the burrow.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Bikir backed away from the explosion that erupted out of nowhere.
As the dust settled, I saw a long, winding scar cut into the floor.
It looks like a giant snake crawled on it.
It was a trace made by the mysterious man who was now standing on a bare tree branch and looking down.
[Hohohoho-Have the rats crawled into my piggy bank?] A
high-pitched, modulated voice came through the ventilation hole in the mask’s mouth.
And the moment she heard that voice, Minpin’s face turned white.
His expression was even more stunned than when he saw countless flocks of gnolls.
“Miss Miss Ouroboros!?”
He encountered the worst villain who terrorized the night of the zodiac.
