Chapter 324: PROCLAMATION (4)

EPISODE 315 – PROCLAMATION (4)

“She’s late.”

At the campsite.

They were in the middle of a tropical rainforest, but Jude and Cordelia were not sweating even a single drop.

It was not because Cordelia was no longer just a human like Jude.

To begin with, they had the Cozy 1-pyeong.

Most of the items they received from the wild gods like Blade Song had been replaced with better items in accordance with the rules of RPG, but there was one item that they still actively used, and that was the Cozy 1-pyeong.

As its name suggested, this item created a tent with 1 pyeong of floorspace that had a cozy atmosphere.

Moreover, the archwizard Cordelia was present here.

She spread a shield to prevent bugs and the heat from entering, and lowered the temperature inside the shield with ice magic.

One would obviously die of suffocation if they completely covered an area, so there was an air hole near the ice.

In addition to this, Jude made a cold juice with the help of his extreme Yin energy.

Cordelia sipped the juice while in Jude’s arms, and narrowed her brows as she looked at the direction where Kirara had gone.

“Are you worried?”

“Yes, shall we go look for her?”

“But she’s a playable character. And we’ve given her lots of items. Maybe it’s better to wait for her first rather than missing out on each other later.”

Moreover, Kirara’s growth rate had been quite significant recently.

She was initially a child with an aptitude for thievery and monster taming, but these days, her thieving abilities had exponentially grown.

‘Is it because she met Scarlet?’

It seemed like she had learned this and that from just watching Scarlet.

Cordelia agonized over it for some time while Jude was thinking about something else. She soon said in a firm voice as though she had finally made a decision.

“Then let’s wait for another 10 minutes. If she is still not here by that time, let’s go look for her.”

“10 minutes? Not 20 minutes?”

“Eh? Why?”

At the time when Cordelia innocently asked.

Jude’s large hands gently wrapped around Cordelia’s waist, and Cordelia flinched, turning to Jude with a coy gaze as her lips twitched. Instead of removing Jude’s hand that was slowly going up, she naturally met lips with him.

‘There’s no way that Kirara got lost.’ (Jude)

She’s a smart girl.

Maybe she just left for a while in order to make time alone for us two.

‘She’s a good girl.’

Later, I’ll give her some snacks – no, some delicious food.

Jude praised Kirara in his mind before focusing on Cordelia. As his hand felt something incredibly soft and squishy, he gently increased the strength of his hand.

And Cordelia did not sit still either. Instead of being swayed by her impulse as a girl who was strong in games, she pushed Jude only with the tip of her tongue.

Their battle began in no time.

Jude and Cordelia’s cheeks were both flushed red. The two parted their lips for a moment and exhaled as they remained in their own world.

And it was at that moment.

“Master! Master! Master!”

Startled by the loud noise coming from beyond the bushes, Cordelia immediately urged Jude to stand up, and Jude poured out curses in his mind.

‘Cancel the snack!’

Why did you have to come back now?

But Jude quickly regained his reason. Kirara yelling and running over to them meant that something had happened.

“Kirara?!”

“Master!”

Kirara was drenched in sweat as she appeared through the bushes.

A large snake was wrapped around her waist and neck, and she was gasping for breath before shouting again at Jude and Cordelia.

“D-demon followers!”

Kirara’s words ended there. She could not speak any further.

BOOOOOOM!

A terrifying boom engulfed Kirara’s voice.

Jude and Cordelia turned their heads and saw it.

What Kirara had meant.

What had happened in this place right now.

Cordelia looked back at Jude who nodded his head.

They came up with an answer at the same time.

***

Caracal, a high-ranking demonic human of the Devil’s Eye, was quick in making decisions.

A vast rainforest surrounded Zainan Gorge.

It had already been four months since she had settled here and held a ritual.

There was one reason why she, a high-ranking demonic human, came to this place in the middle of nowhere.

To create a disaster that would cause a great disturbance in the rear of the empire.

After clearing a part of the rainforest that no one passed through, they drew a huge magic circle.

They regularly offered sacrifices and gradually increased the completeness of the ritual.

It was a long and tedious work.

But after 4 months of hard work, it was finally on the verge of completion.

‘However.’

At a time when the situation in the kingdom and the empire changed, and this disaster plan became more important.

There was a black-haired female cat beastkin.

They had seen that girl catching sight of the pit full of bodies from the countless sacrifices they had made so far, but could not catch her.

So after dissuading her subordinates from pursuing the girl, Caracal made a decision.

“Finish the ritual.”

“What?”

One of her nearby subordinates blinked their eyes with a puzzled expression.

It was natural for them to do so.

They still needed more time to finish the ritual. And also more sacrifices.

But Caracal had her reasons too.

“It’s highly likely that the cat beastkin travels with the Demon Slayers. In other words, it’s possible that the Demon Slayers are somewhere in this rainforest.”

Jude and Cordelia.

From the perspective of the demon followers, the two were like plagues that always stood in their way.

“We’ll only suffer damage if we get careless. So hurry up with the work. Get the job done and withdraw before the two come and make a mess.”

Their problems would be gone once the ritual was completed.

Even the infamous Demon Slayers would not be able to prevent the birth of a disaster.

“B-but what about the sacrifices and mana…”

Her other subordinates also nodded at the words of the low-ranking demonic human.

In order to forcefully complete the ritual, they needed more sacrifices and magic power rather than time.

“If that’s the case, then it’s fine.”

Caracal said with a smile and waved her hand.

One could not deny that the blonde Caracal was a beauty, but the same could not be said of her arm. It became as sharp as a mantis’ arm and swept the surrounding area, severing the heads of the low-ranking demonic humans and demons standing near Caracal.

Gush-!

As the headless corpses spewed blood like a fountain, Caracal hurriedly chanted the spell. The mana of the low-ranking demonic humans was enough to supplement the mana they were lacking in order to complete the ritual.

“Go, hurry it up.”

Become a disaster and cause a tribulation.

Caracal said in a whisper and hurriedly flew out of the magic circle. The light that the magic circle began to emit became a red pillar, and she watched with a bright smile as the being she had been looking forward for was finally revealed.

***

A red pillar of light soared.

The vivid blood-red color broke and scattered. Thus, the being inside it was revealed.

It was far away. But it was so huge that they could see it clearly.

A burning giant.

A melting being.

A red giant covered in lava let out a scream. It shook the entire rainforest and the animals were struck with fear, rendering them unable to escape.

Kirara fell on her butt.

Jude and Cordelia thought as they viewed the giant that was at least 50 meters tall.

“It’s different.”

It was not like the one in the game.

The calamity in the game – fire giant Karte, was one of the seven major calamities and also called a natural disaster due to its enormous damage range. But it was a much bigger and more ferocious creature.

However, Cordelia was convinced that the roaring giant in front of them now was Karte.

Jude also came to the same conclusion based on their past experience.

“It’s not yet a calamity.”

Like the artificial spirit in the magic kingdom of Magellan before it was reborn as the Light Dragon Yalavaska.

Or the monster in the Forest of Eternity before it turned into Jabberwock.

It was the same logic. The giant in front of them had yet to become Karte.

‘I think I know why.’

In the game, the fire giant Karte appeared in the nearby Catan Mountains.

The fire giant caused earthquakes just by walking, and made the volcanoes in the northern part of the empire to erupt all at once, leading to a literal catastrophe.

Not only did countless people die in the volcanic eruptions, but also due to the massive secondary damage caused by the dust that covered the sky.

Such was fire giant Karte.

But not yet.

In the game, it was around a hundred meters tall, but it was only around 60 meters tall now.

‘A power source. A catalyst.’

Light Dragon Yalavaska was a monster that was created as a result of the absorption of the dragon veins’ power by the ruler of spirits, something that was artificially created by the elves of Magellan.

The monster Jabberwock was also a creature born from the combination of a monster and a high-ranking demonic human, so the lava giant before them also needed a catalyst to be reborn as a calamity.

Then, what was it?

What was its catalyst back then?

There was no need to think long. Jude and Cordelia simultaneously looked at the same place.

Zainan Gorge was situated in the middle of the rainforest.

There was a raid boss located at its center.

Serpent King Nagaros.

The place where it built its nest.

The land where the dragon veins gathered and radiated the energy of the world!

“It’s moving!”

It was as Kirara had said.

The lava giant was moving. Instead of heading their way, it walked towards Zainan Gorge.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground shook. Fires spread along the path it walked. The rainforest did not burn at once because of its high humidity, but it was clear that it would become a big fire if left unattended.

Jude held his breath. At the same time, several thoughts came to his mind at the same time.

It had appeared two months later in the original.

Although the situation was quite different from the game due to the butterfly effect, two months was by no means a short period of time.

There was a high possibility that it was not normal now too.

A giant that was 60 meters tall.

It was small when compared to Malekith whose body length was close to 150 meters, but it was still huge. It was so huge that it seemed impossible to even deal a blow on it in the usual way.

What should they do?

What should they first do to prevent the birth of a calamity?

To stop it from moving towards Zainan Gorge.

‘It’s walking.’

They still had time to spare if he calculated its movement speed.

He did not know if it was possible to stop it by inflicting continuous damage though.

“Jude!”

Cordelia summoned their Phantom Steeds. Jude and Cordelia each rode their steeds while Kirara jumped and sat behind Cordelia.

“We have time. Let’s focus our attacks on its legs to slow down its movement speed.”

Although the giant was 60 meters tall, Jude and Cordelia had enough firepower.

Moreover, it was basically a slow-moving creature despite its big strides due to its size.

They had enough time.

So they could deal with it calmly.

They would be able to prevent the birth of a calamity and destroy the conspiracy of the demon followers again.

‘Kill it before it becomes a calamity.’

They were rather fortunate to have found it like this now.

But it was then.

Kirara was so startled that she hiccupped.

Jude and Cordelia’s eyes also widened and they panicked.

“I-it’s flying.”

Giant lava wings.

Huge wings soared from the back of the lava giant.

And the creature with wings began to fly, as all winged creatures usually did.

“F-f*ck?!”

It’s flying?

Only

It’s flying instead of walking?

Cordelia involuntarily exclaimed and drove away her thoughts by shaking her head. She kicked the Phantom Steed’s side to urge it to run.

“Stop it!”

The Phantom Steed carrying Jude also ran through the air.

They rushed towards the lava giant.
