47 – #047 The law of the weak is nature’s providence

After Park Ha-young was stabbed with a demonic spear.

For three days, I settled for food and lodging by observing the burning flames on the cliff overlooking the giants and corpse bugs.

I just wanted to leave, but I couldn’t.

In case Park Ha-young pops out of her body of her giant, I kept observing her corpse’s behavior in order to seal her again.

And the result of watching for three days.

“…A minister is a minister.”

There is a new change in the group of giants and corpses.

One. The giant became a complete block of rock.

His entire body became a giant stone statue.

It could not be said to be such a wonderful sculpture as the Statue of Liberty or the Statue of Jesus Christ in Rio.

The body collapsed as soon as it collapsed due to the demonic spear, and after that, as the corpse bugs boiled over, the corpse bodies of the corpse bugs became covered with boulders.

If you clean up the ashes of the charred corpses, you will find traces of them turned to stone by the Demonic Spear, but it will be impossible to clean them all unless it is raining heavily from the sky.

That’s how the giant became a burial mound.

It became a kind of dolmen and a huge tomb.

In the tightly clasped hands, there must be Park Ha-young, who can be said to be the owner of the tomb.

And the second.

Although it is not directly confirmed, it is said that Park Ha-young can no longer control the insects around her.

“The undertaker. I brought this.”

Titania brought me a wasp nest.

It’s not just a wasp’s nest, it’s a wind spirit’s power to make wind like a balloon to create a barrier and confine the wasp’s nest inside.

The wasps that couldn’t get out of the barrier tried to gnaw through the barrier or sting poisonous needles, but the barrier’s strength, like a glass wall, only gave them strength.

“I had a hard time.”

“What. More than that, it cleans me up, right? Right now my body is full of wasp venom.”

“It doesn’t hurt even if you get stabbed.”

“I’m covered from head to toe with wasp venom.”

“I’ll wash it properly later. Give it to me first.”

After holding onto the barrier of the wasp nest, I stepped on the corpse of the corpse and crawled into the body of the giant.

The giant crouched down as much as he could and strained his hands, but there was enough space between his shoulders and arms, or between his armpits, for people to pass through.

Thanks to this, the flames penetrated deep into the boulder, and there was no situation where corpse bugs were infested inside the boulder.

Later, people from the Church of the Goddess will come all the way to the eastern edge and fill the holes in every corner of the giant’s body with soil or rocks, but what I need to do right now is to make sure that the core seal is working properly.

“Is that where the insect master is sealed away?”

“Yes. There is also a magic spear.”

Near the stomach of the fallen giant, and around the place where the giant held both hands tightly, the density of corpse corpses was much higher than in other places.

“Wow… Even before I joined the Demon King Army, when I lived in the country of fairies, the fairies didn’t go this far.”

“Isn’t it like a forced command by the power of a hero? It was just a collective brainwashing. It was just an insect.”

“You mean the brainwashing was strong enough to throw away one’s own life? Enough to try to save the queen even when burned to death and crushed to death?”

“It’s like that.”

I placed the wasp nest Titania had brought next to the giant’s hand.

Then, after using a shovel to break the barrier, he immediately stepped back.

“Titania.”

Boowo -woong ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ !!

Angry wasps violently jumped out of the wasp nest.

A sound resembling a jet plane echoed everywhere, and I hid in the barrier created by Titania to protect myself.

PABABABAK!

The wasps, as if they knew who kidnapped them here, pierced their poisonous needles into our barrier and thrust their teeth into it.

Fortunately, the barrier was not broken.

‘I just hope that the barrier is broken and nothing else happens.’

I caught my breath.

In preparation for the unexpected, I grabbed my shovel and saved up my magic so that I could break the barrier and catch the wasps.

“Titania. You killed the queen bee in that hive, right?”

“Yes. I assassinated myself. I put magic into the wasp’s hive, killed only the queen, threw the queen’s body outside, and immediately opened a barrier.”

“Then they are now without a queen.”

“Yes. They are looking for another queen.”

Please.

I don’t mind being bitten by those wasps.

“…Seems to be a controlled movement?”

“It’s a learned move, at least so far. It attacks enemies who attack the wasp’s nest. That’s about it.”

Hopefully those wasps won’t do anything weird.

For example, I hope it doesn’t suddenly turn its head and crash into that giant’s hand like the corpse bug did.

Wiying.

The movements of the wasps gradually began to slow down.

At first, they moved according to the manual, then started flapping their wings in confusion as if they realized something was wrong.

I was aware of it.

That there is no queen.

The wasps inside the hive spread the news that the queen had been killed to the wasps around them, and the wasps had to set a new course.

Bees need a queen.

And in the hands of that giant, there is a being who can be the queen of any insect.

If pheromone is a chemical substance, then what if that chemical substance could exert an influence out of the hands of that giant.

Surely the wasps would ram their heads to save Park Ha-young, but-

“…… Ha ha.”

I’m glad.

There was no such thing.

The wasps fluttered in confusion, left the giant’s bosom, and began to leave.

“Whew.”

There are wasps that still fly inside the giant’s body, unaware that their companions have left, but they will soon disappear along the trail of their companions.

“You’re welcome.”

“What is the possibility that Park Ha-young noticed your existence and didn’t touch you now?”

“Don’t be silly.”

Park Ha-young is not such a smart woman-

“…No, even if there is a possibility, I can’t do anything about it right now.”

Assuming she’s a smart girl, even if she’s just holding back because she noticed me out here wanting to see if she’s alive or dead.

I can’t confirm that right now.

You can’t keep an eye on us here every single day.

“The rest is for the Goddess Church to do. Put something like cement on top to block the hole and make it so that no insects can come in and out.”

“What if insects burrow under the ground?”

“So don’t be foolish. If you’ve made it this far, you’ve done everything you could.

Because I have more important things than that.

“After stopping by the Eastern Church, I’ll head north.”

Now, let’s take the remaining magic tool, the ‘barding’.

“There’s only one left now.”

It’s Chae Yu-ri’s turn.

* * *

-Eat the corpses of demons.

-And grow through the corpse.

-Absorb the spirit from the magic stones remaining in the bodies of the demons, and bring it to me.

It was an order given to the corpses strewn across the ruins of the East.

The corpse worms collected energy by digging up and eating corpses according to the orders of the queen and the soldiers who brought the queen’s orders.

The bugs didn’t know the details, but they gathered dust and inhaled the corpse thinking of the word Taishan.

The eastern ruins were overflowing with corpses, and even with excessive breeding, young were born and the rate of reproduction could not keep up with the rate of digging up and eating corpses.

In order to inhale the corpses, corpse bugs were spread all over the place.

But suddenly the soldiers who came to give the queen’s orders did not come.

If you collect the energy, the soldiers should collect it and take it to the queen, but none of the soldiers showed up.

Half a day passed, half a day passed, when I felt that the same situation had occurred in other areas.

The corpses cautiously made their way to the Queen’s nest, realizing why the Queen’s soldiers weren’t coming.

Annihilation.

The queen is dead.

The soul made the body of a dead giant into a nest, but the nest turned into stone.

All I can feel is the stench from the corpses of my comrades and the traces of burnt everything.

Bugs were troubled.

Could it be that there is a queen in there?

The fact that all the corpse bugs tried to protect it until they burned to death must be because of the pheromones that the queen left at the end.

Defend the queen.

The bugs swept the pheromone left on the floor.

I couldn’t feel the pheromones because of the traces of the flames, but the last traces left on the bodies of my comrades told us in detail what had happened here.

Then.

Corpse bugs have one thing to do.

Sagak.

The corpses immediately turned their bodies 180 degrees.

With so many corpse bugs already dead, it’s impossible to dig in there to rescue the queen.

Even if the queen over there is alive, what’s the point of a queen who can’t spray new pheromones?

The world where insects live is the world of nature.

It is a world where the law of the weak is the basis, and the weak cannot survive.

A weak queen is like a dead queen.

There may be those who dream of the resurrection of the dead queen, but there is no reason for the worms to follow the queen unless they can get anything from her.

Let’s find a new queen.

Let’s create a new queen.

The bugs each set out to find their own way.

Near the giant’s tomb.

None of the corpse bugs came close to the grave.

Because there is no reason to approach a place where there are no corpses to eat.
