Night of the Soulless Heathens – 114



#114. There are too many corrupt nobles 7

Azadin escaped from the dead wererat. The terrible cold power that froze his blood continued to work despite the wererat’s death freezing him.

“That’s a lot of magic. Be careful. I think it would be a good idea for everyone to wear winter clothes.”

Scott warned.

“You mean a winter coat? For this summer?”

Sir Brock asked in confusion. They had come dressed thinly expecting everyone to fight in armor.

“I can’t help it. I’ll at least wrap myself in a blanket.”

Azadin and his party untied the blankets they were carrying tied them to their cloaks and wrapped themselves in warm clothing.

“So this is what happened because your wife and her concubine fought. What on earth is this?”

“I’m so sorry.”

Sir Brock was of a higher rank than Brand but he was speechless at his shouts.

Then another strange sound was heard from beyond the fog.

*********

A young woman stepped out of the fog. A woman with brown hair with a reddish tint she appeared through the thick fog.

“Mr. Brock.”

“…franc!”

Brock recognized her and was taken aback. The woman was looking at him with her eyes wide open as if she were drunk.

“You came to see me. I thought you would come to me and not that woman.”

Then Brand stepped forward and shouted.

“Oh my! There’s a girl over there!”

“….”

“I already know that you are a servant of the Spider Queen Atra! So don’t try to deceive me and speak frankly!”

When Brand shouted everyone watching burst into laughter.

“It’s hot.”

“I think it’s good because it doesn’t require any unnecessary procedures.”

Ismail said so and put an arrow on his bow.

“Are you here to exterminate me Brock?!”

“Fran. I…..”

“It’s she who made me like this! It’s she who made this new high fortress like this. You said that married life is a bondage!”

“….”

“That’s just a lie to fool a young girl who is worthy of being a daughter. Wife. You are not bound by the bonds of marriage so come to your senses now. Most of the lies told to please an illegitimate child whether male or female are just empty boasts.”

Brand said so and glanced at Brock.

“Hey Sir B. Brandt. Aren’t you scared?”

Brand was a clerk not a knight but Guillaume Wald called Brand a sage. The woman who was speaking to him now had an ominous and sinister aura emanating from her but Brand was treating her as if she were a woman from a brothel.

“It doesn’t matter. If I do what is right why should I look up to heaven and be ashamed?”

“It’s not that I’m hiding my body because I’m embarrassed.”

Because I’m scared.

“Brock. Choose me. Stop fighting that woman and just run away together. Start a new life somewhere that no one else knows about.”

‘It’s amazing.’

Azadin felt respect for the woman who ignored Brand who was breaking the contraction and spoke to Brock. Judging from her stubbornness to this extent she must be very obsessed.

“Fran I…..”

Brock was in pain. As Brand had said he was talking nonsense at the bedside for the sake of a young immature woman.

I have no intention of breaking up the marriage but my wife is a wicked woman who binds and torments me so you are my only true love. If I had no responsibility as a noble and as a knight I would have divorced you long ago and been with you my true love but sadly I have to take responsibility.

He had been deceiving women with such sweet talk and it seemed that she believed it all. Brock himself had told him so many lies that he couldn’t even remember them and he was obsessed with it even in such a terrible situation.

“I guess I should cut through some of your nonsense. It’s always been that way. Sir Brock can’t hear the voice of his true heart because of his responsibilities and position.”

“Fran! No! I’m just a coward!”

As Brock said this his lover disappeared into the fog. Then a spider web flew through the fog and targeted Brand.

-ping!

But Ismail who was waiting behind shot the spider web in mid-air with an arrow.

“I originally planned to pierce that woman’s head… but the story was so funny that I just blankly watched.”

Ismail grumbled and took out another arrow and strung it onto his bow.

“Yeah. You guys be careful too.”

“Spider webs?”

“You guys are also Aragasa. Do you think you can fall for something like that? Don’t be fooled by the nonsense of a cheater.”

Azadin said the same thing and gestured to Brand.

“Okay!”

Brand pushes forward in a wheelchair loaded with a spear.

“Follow me!”

“Hey look at this!”

Sir Brock was taken aback by Azadin and his men’s merciless attitude towards his lover but then the fog began to clear.

“ah!?”

The two- and three-story wooden buildings in the village of Sae-no-yi Fortress were covered with dense spider webs and the bodies of were rats and nagas were seen tied up in the webs flattened and dead with their bodily fluids sucked out.

And between the bell tower and the fortress wall stood a giant spider on the spiderweb barrier that had frozen into a waterfall of ice.

On top of the spider’s body was the upper body of a woman the woman named Fran who had just been talking to them. She shouted at Brock with her eyes filled with madness.

“Sir Brock! I will free you from the shackles of responsibility that bind you. I will destroy them!”

“Will it be hard?”

Azadin snorted and signaled to Zibek who pulled out a rusted mallet and threw it.

-The hammer of condemnation!

As powerful white magic was about to be unleashed through the mallet the spider woman quickly spread her web to catch the mallet itself.

But then Azadin fired an arrow. The arrow hit the mallet shaft perfectly sending the mallet flying high into the air avoiding the spider web.

“That’s ridiculous!”

“This kind of archery….”

Sir Brock had thought it was just a coincidence even though Ismail had already demonstrated the skill of hitting a spider web with an arrow but seeing this made it clear.

“Messenger Clan!? Oh no but a Paladin….”

It’s obvious that Jibek is a paladin. No a paladin who uses such powerful white magic is probably a rare talent even among paladins. But a paladin like that and a messenger clan are joining forces?

“If your aspirations are high comrades will gather.”

Azadin said so and stood by Brock’s side. Meanwhile the hammer of condemnation unleashed by Zibek fell on the Spider Woman. However the Spider Woman threw a web into the sky and dodged it by diving under the web.

The hammer of condemnation explodes in the sky shattering the cobwebs and causing the lightning rods on the tiled bell tower of the fortress the webs were hanging from to collapse along with them.

“Whoa!”

Spider Woman screams but manages to get behind the bell tower and dodge further attacks.

“It’s no use!”

Medium fired an arrow. The arrow she fired cut through the air tearing through the wind and chasing the Spider Woman who was hiding behind the bell tower.

“Wow that’s great!”

Brock was astonished. The arrows shot by the young girl were so powerful and she moved freely as if she was alive and breathing. I had only heard rumors about the greatness of the Herald Clan but now I see that they are truly powerful enough to kill the God King and his nobles.

As the Spider Woman returned to the bell tower and howled the ground around her began to collapse and small spiders began to emerge from under the ground. Even though they were small they were as big as hounds. Even without spider venom a bite would be fatal.

“No wait! Fran! Listen to me! It was all my fault!”

Even though Sir Brock pleaded the Spider Woman seemed unwilling to listen to him.

“You are so out of your mind right now because of your duty as a vassal! If you don’t support your duty as a vassal and your duty as a knight you will only think about love.”

Azadin who had been listening clicked his tongue.

‘What on earth did this guy say to try to seduce a young girl?’

Perhaps he was dating his lover trying to convince her that he would not remarry saying that his married life was the worst but he could not divorce because he was a knight or a vassal.

But then Scott muttered.

“Hey. The woman is running away.”

While Azadin and his men were fighting the spiders Shati escaped and ran between the buildings.

“Shh. Be quiet.”

Azadin deliberately let Shati escape because he intended to track her down.

Of course if you had asked Lord Brock where there was a shop or brothel nearby you could have found the den of the Nagas without resorting to such tricks… But wouldn’t it have been better if Shati had guided the way with her own feet?

“Then we should deal with that spider woman quickly? Should I take action?”

Scott asked.

“No. Please refrain from using necromancy in front of people.”

“It’s not like I can only use necromancy.”

“Use colorless magic instead of black magic. Leave the spider woman alone and only use the baby spiders.”

“What about that spider woman? Are you planning on keeping her alive?”

“No. It looks like you’re not in your right mind. It’s unfortunate but there’s nothing I can do.”

As he said this Azadin stepped forward with his bow and sword in hand. The spiders all attacked Azadin but…

-Two-tap!

Azadin swung his sword blasting away the legs of the spiders that were rushing at him and waved his bow. The bowstring wrapped around Azadin’s upper arm and the bow was caught in his arm leaving his hand empty. Azadin emptied his bow-holding hand in an instant and swung his fist.

Azadin’s fist pierced the spider’s abdomen and he picked up the dead spider.

“Okay then!”

Azadin held the spider like a shield and used it to block the webs flying towards him.

-Whack!

Spider Woman fired a web at Azadin and pulled at him but only the baby spider was pulled out and flew away.

“Ah! Oh no!”

The Spider Woman felt sorry for the larva that was caught instead of Azadin but the moment the larva was caught in her forelegs her lower body which would be the pelvic region for a human opened and grabbed the larva and began to suck it up.

The baby spider is flattened as all of its body fluids are sucked out. Judging from the fact that its movements are so fast it seems that it is instinctively trying to sink its teeth into something it catches with its forelegs without much thought.

“Too bad. He has already turned into a beast.”

Azadin picked up his bow again and started firing arrows one after another at Fran who had taken the spider instead.

Even when shooting a single shot he has to pull back hard with his bow but he walks around nonchalantly and shoots repeatedly. Then Azadin picks up the forelegs of the spider he cut off puts them on the bowstring and shoots them.

-Pfft pfft!

The spider woman screams as arrows and spider legs stab her body in succession. As blood spurts and soaks her feet the giant spider woman slips and falls unable to hang on to her web.

Moreover the spider web froze and shattered into pieces collapsing like a melting waterfall of ice.

-Koosh!

With a loud noise that shook the earth the spider woman fell to the ground.

“Eww! What’s wrong! I just want to save Sir Brock! Why are you getting in my way!”

The spider woman who had already lost her ability to make normal judgments cried like a child. Looking at her Azadin let out a long sigh.

“What on earth are you doing?”

For a foolish nobleman’s adultery things have gotten too big.
