7 [06] Raid Operation, Part 2.txt (2/2)

'Oh... Miss Radia. It's beautiful...

Perhaps because of the fact that they saved themselves and the change in the raid's attitude, the mercenaries seem to have become less wary of Vilm.

''Well...''

Raid turned his back to Vilm and looked into the carriage, and stared at the elf with a different expression than he had before.

''How could you do that to me just now? Be prepared for that. When this job is done, I'm going to f*ck you until you break with everyone here. If you're going to hate me, hate yourself for acting so shallowly.

The raids were convinced that the fee from Virum's request and the connection to Virum himself benefited more than the elven girl.

I'm not sure I'm going to be the only one who's been in a position to do this.

I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

Seeing that expression, Raid smiled with satisfaction, closed the curtain of the carriage and returned to Virum's side.

Vilm and his team proceed into the depths of the forest.

There is no anxiety or impatience on the mercenaries' faces, but rather an atmosphere of ease.

Perhaps it's because they're wary of Radia, the spirit that governs the earth, or perhaps it's because they're doing better than when they were advancing through the shallow area because the forest demons are not approaching.

''Well, it's around here.''

Even though it was a quintessential shallow area, they were mercenaries with the ability to pass through the Demon Fog Forest.

The tension is instantly restored at Vilm's words announcing their arrival.

This is because they must protect him from the wonders of the demons while Virum, the client, completes his contract with the spirits.

However, if this request is successful, they will be able to get more benefits and be safer for themselves by having Virum help them.

With this in mind, I can see the enthusiasm on their faces that they will accomplish this request at all costs.

The actuality of this is that you will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this project. I'll be looking forward to working with you all.

The mercenaries turn their backs on Vyrm and begin to be vigilant about their surroundings.

The raids also go near the carriage and try to stay out of the way of Vyrm and the mercenaries.

Virum confirms everyone's placement.

''Radia - - - Kill them.

The Ground Viper.

The uplifted earth instantly forms the jaws of a giant snake (agito) and swallows all the mercenaries who were slow to react for just a moment because they trusted Virum.

Just like a snake swallows its prey whole.

Literally, everything.

After swallowing the mercenaries, the giant snake melts into the ground like a snake diving into the ground.

The serpent will not loosen its restraints until they are dead.

Even if it did break out of its restraints, the place was deep, deep underground.

It would be impossible for them to escape before they suffocated.

The mercenaries who were swallowed up would be fed by the trees that grew in the Demonic Fog Forest.

On the other hand, the raiders who had escaped the difficulty because they were near the carriage, nay, had been missed, were confused, unable to swallow the situation.

(Hey, what was that? What the hell is going on!)

In an instant, the mercenaries were swallowed by the giant snake and dragged to the ground.

Those who are as good as anyone else, even against the monsters of the forest, have been wiped out without being able to do anything.

There was no way they could remain calm, no matter how tough-minded the raiders were.

That's when I see Virum walking towards me, checking to see if the mercenaries have missed a strike.

What I heard at that time was definitely his ”kill” voice.

(That was him!)

Confusion and fear keep my body from moving.

The heart palpitations are intense and it's hard to breathe, yet icy cold sweat flows down like a waterfall.

Unable to stand, Lade falls to his knees on the spot.

I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

Eyes that do not allow the raider to survive.

Eyes that convince you that begging for your life will not work.

The moment he understands this, the Raid's body convulses as if it refuses to survive.

The lungs refuse to take in air, and the heart stops its activity in direct contradiction to the convulsion of the body.

When Lade's body stops convulsing, his life activity has come to an end.

The Raid chose to die on his own.

It was probably still a good thing that he wasn't killed unceremoniously at the hands of Wyrm.
