Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 206

 

Chapter 206: The Day It All Ends 3



The sun is now fully exposed


We finally came within sight of the royal capital


However, seeing that scene, everyone stopped.


We were at a loss for words at the sight


"Parchem-dono... what is that?"


It's a huge structure in the depths of the city.


Even a child can tell


That it is the royal castle


But what is that thing that is about to crush it?


"... I don't know what that is."


"I guess so."


Wings so huge you can see them from a distance rise into the sky.


So white and beautiful, it takes your breath away.


But the base of its wings ruins everything.


An amorphous, writhing mass of flesh.


Things like limbs are growing all over the place


Liquid constantly dripping from the mass of flesh


Yellow, red, blue


The wind blows toward us from the royal capital.


A terrible smell made us all nauseous.


"Julius-sama, do we have to fight that thing?"


Of course, we do.


There's no way we can leave that thing alive


"Hey! Look at that!"


A soldier pointed his finger at the mass of flesh.


Countless tentacles are growing out of the mass of flesh.


When the tentacles pointed skyward, the tip of the tentacles...


"People?"


I don't know who it is, but there's a person being held there.


It is not one person.


And not just one tentacle.


Dozens of tentacles are holding people.


And the captives are being crushed by the tentacles


On a mass of flesh.


Blood spills from the crushed bodies.


As the blood falls onto the mass of flesh, the mass of flesh begins to swell.


"Impossible. Julius-sama, let's run away."


Yeah


That's the only way


I think so too


The gates of the royal capital in front of us were opened


"Help me!"


Unarmed men...


The commoners have opened the gates of the royal capital and they are fleeing.


"Shit!"


We should run.


What about the commoners?


Aren't they the ones who have lived comfortably and luxuriously in the royal capital!


"Let's hel..."


As they fled, soldiers in armor chased after them.


The soldiers were abnormal


While all joints bend in random directions


They chased after those who ran away with the agility of beasts.


Those who were caught by them were grabbed by one of their body parts...


"It hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"


"Help!"


The sound of their bones cracking as they are forced into the armor.


"Julius-sama!"


Parchem-dono called out


I know!


I know it's better to run away!


And I know no one will complain if we abandon them!


"All troops! Help the innocent people!"


Ahh! Damn it!


Fuck it!


Everyone is scared!


Then I have to do it!


"Brave men! Follow me!"


"J-Julius-sama!"


Will Parchem stop me? I don't care!


Those of you who didn't follow me, remember that when the battle is over! I'm not going to give you a lot of credit!


"Ahh! Damn it! You stupid Commander!"


Someone shouted behind me.


I know! How stupid of me to do this!


"All troops! Don't fall behind the Commander! Keep up!"


Seriously!


We are all idiots!
