EPISODE.64
Pabababat-.
A group of people crossed through the lush green bushes.
A simple movement with almost no shaking even as it moves from tree to tree.
Each time, the red string wrapped around his waist swayed with his movements.
Their identity was none other than the great warriors of Kuril who came to pick up Russell.
Russell was following them from the rear.
Shishishik-.
Every time I took a step, the sound of the wind cracking constantly passed through my ears.
One of the great warriors ahead moved his hand as the sound ran down his spine.
Using sign language, I asked a question to the beastman leading the group.
-Is that person the person rumored to be?
It was a jaguar beast whose black skin was as shiny as metal.
To that question, Jarvan, the Ronin man who led the group of great warriors, nodded.
Unlike other prisoners, this man had a total of three knots.
I glanced over and caught a glimpse of Russell chasing after me. Is it because he removed his hair and disguise as he entered the island’s interior?
Black hair and red eyes stand out in the sunlight streaming in. Jarvan moved his hand while checking the appearance.
I answered my subordinate using sign language.
-Black hair and red eyes. Doesn’t it look exactly like the rumor? There’s no way there’s another person with that kind of appearance inside the island.
Russell’s external characteristics were unique not only to the Kuril Islands but also to the entire continent.
The jaguar beastman who had asked Jarvan’s reply snorted.
-joy. If you look at the way he has been chasing after him so far, his movements seem to be quite agile, but is he really as good as he is rumored to be?
-well… … .
Jarvan paused at his subordinate’s question.
‘According to rumors, among those who fell were the Little Chief of the Red Lion Tribe and Chief Howie of the White Snake Tribe.’
Although, due to individual circumstances, he did not acquire the qualifications of a great warrior.
All of them were rumored to have skills comparable to those of Daejeon Ilgyeol.
Seeing as there are rumors that he has defeated not one but two of those people, it seems that the man’s skills are not just exaggerated.
Jarvan growled at the great warriors following him, just in case.
A warning was issued through sign language.
-I will tell you in advance, but if your fighting instinct seems to be boiling over and you are going to do something, leave the group first. I won’t accuse him of anything.
At that question, the jaguar beast kept his teeth tight.
Not only do they have a strong desire to win over the strong, but they also have a high level of pride in their own skills.
However, even if you add the two together, it was not higher than the Beast King’s words. Other prisoners shook their heads and sent sign language.
-Don’t worry.
-No matter how crazy we are about fighting… … .
-They are not so ruthless as to lay hands on the king’s guests first.
Nevertheless, the Ronin man, Jarvan, seemed not to be at ease and urged the remaining beastman to answer.
-Are you planning on not talking back?
-I won’t. I don’t do it.
In response, the jaguar beastman shook his head loudly and then moved his palm again.
-And isn’t there a way to test it other than using your hands?
-… … ?
The Jaguar man turned around, leaving behind the warriors who were tilting their heads.
They shouted as they faced Russell, who was following them from a few meters away.
“Hey, hey. “Brother!”
“… … ?”
“At this rate, it will take ten more hours to reach the king’s city. Would it be okay if I increased the speed a little more?”
Speed and endurance.
Because both were very good measures to gauge the other person’s skills.
* * *
A few hours after that.
It was after entering the huge city that the group of warriors ahead slowed down.
Suddenly, I turned my head and saw the unique lifestyle of the beast people built on trees.
Not only did they build a wooden ladder to raise the house, but they also connected trees to trees by weaving vines and vines.
The form was quite different from the form that stretched along the coast.
‘It’s quite similar in shape to the beastman village we passed by on the inside rather than the outside of the island.’
The scale was extraordinary.
Even if you add up all the villages we’ve passed so far, this one alone is too big.
It was such a huge city that it was hard to believe that it was built in the middle of a deep forest.
It has to be that way.
Compared to human culture, this was the capital and royal capital.
‘Fenrir, a city of the beast people named after the first beast king.’
Russell walked slowly, recording the appearance of a city that was not well known to the public through the ‘Image Frame’ magic.
It was then.
The jaguar beastman who was ahead of him started talking to Russell while keeping pace with him.
“Grung. Grung. Tongue, bro. That’s not normal. purr.”

Maybe it’s because of the jaguar’s unique vocal cords.
Panting breathing sounded like a gurgling sound.
“No way, grung. Of all humans, he can run this well, purr. “I never thought there would be one.”
At first, I just wanted to test my skills. But why?
Isn’t it difficult for a human with short legs and not much hair to keep up with their speed?
So, I was determined and ran with all my might.
‘Unlike us, he doesn’t seem to be breathing at all… … .’
It looked so neat that it was hard to believe that it had run for several hours without stopping.
Among the prisoners present, Jarvan was the only one whose breathing was not disturbed.
“Grring, how many strong humans like you are outside the island and on the continent? Since they are weak humans, I don’t think there will be more than ten at most… … .”
Perhaps because he recognized Russell, his voice was more likeable than before. Russell, who roughly calculated the numbers in response to the question, opened his mouth with a calm expression.
“There are probably more than thirty people in our kingdom alone, and if you count the entire continent, there might be about a hundred.”
It would be less than that if only wizards were counted, but that is why there were strong people among Auror practitioners.
“Hey!”
“purr-.”
The prisoners who were listening, perhaps surprised by Russell’s words, each gasped.
Meanwhile, they, including Russell, had arrived in front of the city’s huge building.
The size of the tent, which was made of several pieces of cloth joined together, was enough to resemble a fortress.
Plus, how gorgeous it looks, decorated with colorful flags.
Even at a glance, it was clear that it was the residence of the Beast King Muyaho.
“Please wait here for a moment.”
These were the words of Jarvan, who had guided Russell here. Perhaps because he also recognized Russell’s skills, his attitude was quite polite compared to before.
After saying that, Jarvan immediately walked towards the inside of the tent. It seemed like it was to announce Russell’s arrival and obtain permission to enter.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Russell opened his mouth.
He asked gently towards the jaguar beastman.
“By the way, why is the Beast King looking for me?”
I was planning on bringing out the great warrior or the great elder, but I never thought the beast king would move.
Isn’t it like getting a whale caught in a net set to catch a shark?
“Um, that’s… … .”
Just as Jaguar Suin was about to say something in response to Russell’s question.
fluttering-.
The tent was opened. Jarvan, who had gone inside, quickly appeared and said.
“The king will come out in a moment, so he asks you to come in first.”
The inside of the tent we entered right after was not as spacious as Russell had thought.
‘No, did you divide the space by putting up another cloth inside the tent?’
The proof is that various signs can be felt even beyond the passage blocking the two sides.
To be more specific, the space between this tent played a similar role as a passage leading from the entrance to the inside.
“This way.”
The place we followed after Jarvan was the inside of another tent, which was very spacious.
It’s like a tent inside a tent.
And certain signs were filling the inside of the tent.
‘This… … .’
Each and every one of them had a formidable prayer.
At the very least, they were 4th Circle or higher, and some of them even had the presence of a 5th Circle or Expedition-level Auror user.
‘Are they Daejeon Warriors? … .’
As if to prove that fact, they each have from one to three red knots hanging on their heads.
‘With this much power… … .’
It was the power of two local magic towers or more.
‘Considering that the people here are not all of the beast people-.’
The actual potential of the Kuril Islands is probably greater than that.
The moment he entered the room with that thought in mind, passionate gazes flew towards him like arrows.
Sharp gazes that seemed as if they would cut him down at once.
It was pure spirit, not even a single speck of life mixed in, but its density was by no means light.
Wow-.
The air inside the venue begins to sag like wet cotton as speculation encroaches on the area.
If you were an ordinary criminal, just seeing that gaze would have made you urinate.
‘It’s a good thing I came after crossing the 6th circle.’
Otherwise, I don’t know if my legs would have lost their strength and I would have collapsed.
When that happened, the ones who were surprised were the prisoners who glared at them.
“her-.”
“Can we endure this level of speculation?”
“A person who remains calm even when faced with the fighting spirit of a hundred great warriors!”
“Amazing… … .”
The moment a light disturbance spreads among them!
“Stop making a fuss, you bastards!”
Rumbling rumbling!
A huge presence pressed down heavily on the area. It’s a presence more powerful than the fighting spirit unleashed by one hundred beastman warriors.
Russell’s knees buckled due to the power that appeared in an instant.
‘Tsk… … .’
Gritting his teeth, Russell corrected the new model. He straightened his wobbly knees and looked in the direction from which his voice had come.
‘The beast king… … , muyaho.’
Even compared to his teacher, Dariana, and the owner of the Window Tower, Hemingway Melville, his presence was on par.
The difference is that, unlike those who usually suppress their energy, Muyaho generously reveals his presence.
The pumpkin feet hanging over the towering Daejeon slowly begin to be lifted.
Finally.
“nice to meet. “Human race, kid.”
Beast King Muyaho made his appearance. In human terms, he looks like he is in his late twenties.
The long gray hair, the gray wolf ears that stand above it, and the tail that flutters as if to express its mood are impressive.
But there were two things that caught my eye more than that, the first of which was.
‘wound… … .’
There were countless wounds along his entire body.
The sight of large and small scars engraved on smooth light brown skin as if it were made of melted chocolate.
It is a wound that can never be created without several fierce battles and crossing the line of fire.
And the second.
The second is… … .
‘female?’
To the lower body and chest,
The figure, barely covered with the skin of an unknown monster, barely covering the private parts, was clearly that of a woman with smooth curves.
‘I never thought the Beast King Muyaho was a woman!’
Since his name was ‘Muyaho’, I thought he was male, but it seemed to put an end to Russell’s thoughts.
Muyaho opened his mouth.
introduced myself.
“I am the king of the beastmen, the beast king Muyaho.”
wizard who swallowed a dragon
