I Became A Villain In A Novel
Seventy-five
The unicorn tried to keep them in the way, it was nothing that he was just carrying out the duties of Athanatos, he said protect the girl who got the blessing of the gods.
The forest of death was more dangerous than anyone could imagine, no one could get out alive from there, even though anyone alive and could come out if not dead would be an idiot.
"But we have to go by using this road." Elios frowned, somewhat doubtfully in fact, timid that the unicorn was attacking, yet he seemed to have no other intent.
"Hard-headed! If you bring me my horns, I'll come if there's any danger you can't overcome."
The unicorn handed over her horns to Liona's head, and the girl only accepted clumsily as attention was only on her.
Instead of anything, unicorn horns if held by people who do not want it is very dangerous, while Liona is a different girl.
"Thank you."
Without saying anything, the unicorn went in a darker direction. Without wasting time, they left.
Whether because of the tense atmosphere or indeed those who did not intend to speak, the troops were so silent, only the sound of the footsteps of horses stepping on the twigs.
Liona who will invite the conversation also felt awkward, just a little deheman her voice was so echoing and it made her a bit hesitant.
The road that is headed looks dark, the deeper the darker and cooler, without any light and also the breath of other living things besides them.
"It's like being tested on guts in an ancient old building filled with ghosts and psychics." Dave suddenly frowned, the others frowned confused, what is a psychic?
"The man always says things we don't understand, as if he's creating a new vocabulary." Said Edward casually, Elios, Luther and Arthur glanced at Liona who turned a clumsy face.
The short talk did not change the atmosphere, it was still gloomy and dark, although not too awkward but still it was very uncomfortable.
"Damn!" Marquees Leandro cursed when he stepped on something soft and wet.
Liona who was right behind him looked with her extraordinary eye ability in the direction that Leandro was stepping on.
"Stop!" His shouting.
The team looked at each other, there were some people who were in the front row also stopped feeling strange when the soft object was like sucking them.
"What's wrong?" Sean glanced at Liona who was stretching out one side of his hand on top, signaling not to move.
"There is mud here, the attraction is very strong because it is a mixture of water, sand and clay. Don't move too much because it can increase swallowing speed."
Some people who are in the mud of life look panicked, but they try to calm down because in this situation calm is really needed.
Elios told the man who had not stepped on the mud to get off the horse and secure it, since the carriage was at the very back, the mud survivors easily carried the mine.
Some people easily throw mines at people who are gradually being sucked into the mud of life. The left hand held the saddle of the horse that was about to sink and the next to it held on to the mine.
The women are allowed to look after and look at it from the side, fearing that there is a danger when they are helping those who are sucked.
"Get on!" Shouted someone.
Fortunately there were no fatalities, they decided to pause while treating the horses and some of the injured.
A sudden pungent smell just penetrated into everyone's nose, they looked at each other, because it was really strange, they did not feel the presence of any other living thing besides them.
Blukk blukk
The sound of mud from earlier they kept ignoring started to become the focus of attention, there was something strange there, everyone looked very alert.
Worms the size of a giant suddenly just emerged from the mud, the chewy creature wriggling disgusting with a burst of green gas that came out from the pores of the worm skin.
Some people feel nauseous when they smell the stench of the green gas, the giant worm squirms like whining for something.
The mud instantly became boiling like lava, looking towards the tail of the giant worm, it turned out that he was throwing dirt. So disgusting!
"Why should the boneless creature throw its filth in front of us?" Arthur's chirp with a pale face held the smell.
"Basic stupid! Worms are senseless creatures, he knows where to poop in front of who or where." Edward viciously hits Arthur on the head, hoping that this human could be smarter.
A burst of green gas that is more concentrated out of the tail end of the worm, accompanied by a distinctive sound of excrement and also some strange things that come out of the tail end of the worm that is disgusting.
The stench was smelled more concentrated, the smell was very strange like garbage mixed with dirty things along with the smell of carrion and rotten eggs.
"Damn it! What the fuck is this smell? I just want to die." One of the soldiers covered his nose desperately, the smell was indeed very concentrated and really unpleasant.
Stopping
The worm let out a funny scream, he came out of the mud and walked away from their troops just like that.
Looking at the still boiling mud, there were some insects that came out of nowhere swarming with worm feces.
Their shape is very strange, the size is as big as a cockroach, there are fine spines on the legs there are also pointy teeth sticking out of the corner of their lips.
"We have to get out of here, I really can't resist the smell of this trash. I may die young before I get married." Luther's words made everyone aware, they intended to move to a place that was not contaminated with the smell of worms.
Actually the worm was really something new the first time they all encountered, first the worm did not have the breath of a living creature.
The color is so pale and also very large in size, then the worm has pores that open wide and emit pungent smelling gas.
When going to excrete the dirt as well, the mud became boiling like lava. Yet even the worm seemed to ignore their dwarfed army.
Some people think that in this forest is so incredible and absurd, there are also some disgusting fecal-eating insects.
"Don't the mud that was was actually filth from a giant worm." Chirps one of the soldiers who was actually given a sharp look of people who were sucked.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk." He shrugged his shoulders feeling completely innocent.
