060 mother and calf

****[Oscar, the main character] ****

Any creature is weak when it is a baby.

It seems to be the same with the rhino witch.

Perhaps the skin hadn’t fully hardened yet, the baby rhino’s body was torn and blood was flowing everywhere.

There were dozens of broken saws around the cub’s space.

Even though he was still young, his skin was tough and strong, so if he tore his skin with a saw and broke it, he would have to do it again with a new one… It seems like that was the case.

The cub had wounds on its forehead, neck, torso, legs, stomach, and soles of its feet.

Some parts have minor scars, while others are completely torn, exposing the bones.

‘What I heard was this child’s scream.’

My heart ached.

What about the mother after hearing the baby’s scream?

Humans are the most cruel in this world.

Whoops… whoops…

The mother is already dead, but the cub doesn’t seem to know that.

Crawling half-lying, burrowing into her mother’s arms and crying.

Whether it was looking for milk or wanting to feel the body temperature, it moved its lips and then cried again.

Maybe he was just born.

It occurred to me that the mother might have suddenly gone into labor and separated from the group.

A small breath escaped from his mouth.

It is barely alive, but it seems that the life of the cub is not long.

He lost too much blood and was too injured.

My head is shaking, and I can’t control my body properly.

I came closer and saw the chains around the little feet.

Thick chains were tightly clamping the calf’s ankles.

Behind the back is the escort captain.

When I reached out, without saying a word, I took the ax in the corner and put it in my hand.

Even the blade of the ax is stained with blood.

It seems that one of the baby’s legs was cut in half as if it was being crushed by an axe.

There were traces of being hit several times.

But it seems I couldn’t stop.

So many times, filming and filming again…

Maybe it was because my senses were numb.

The cub didn’t seem to know I was there.

Noticing me belatedly, I screamed thinly.

Boo… Boo…

In this child’s eyes, I must be the same human being.

The cub’s half-closed eyes were clouded with tears.

I broke the chain with an axe, being careful not to injure the youngster.

Bang, the chain bounced to the floor with a strong metal sound.

When I was young, I wondered if ailments could be cured through cell manipulation.

In reality it was impossible.

It is possible to kill, but not to save.

Couldn’t.

‘but.’

Magical power permeated the beast’s bones.

The older the object, the more magic it has, and it seems that even if you just die and are on the ground, the magic gradually seeps into your bones.

The monster’s bones absorb mana and gather it inside.

Sven-sensei speculated that the monster itself had the property of gradually absorbing mana.

Magical power might be something like energy that carries on the life force of the beast.

That was the reason why the bomb could be made.

I bent down and put my hand on the calf’s body.

The cub flinched.

The thick skin trembled with fear.

“It’s okay. I don’t mean to hurt you.”

I said softly and slowly pushed my mana into the baby’s body.

It seems like it’s already too late, but I don’t know if I can somehow survive if I have magical powers.

If mana is really like energy to a witch beast, it might make the body’s vitality a little bigger.

maybe… maybe…

I slowly and constantly poured magic power into it, but the baby’s condition didn’t change much.

It just seemed that the fear had gone away a little.

The baby closed his eyes and took a small breath.

can’t it

When the disappointment rose a little, the escort soldier who was outside came inside.

“The Demon Beast is coming this way. You must avoid it.”

I looked at the cub once again and got up.

When I came out, soldiers from this city came rushing in, as if they had heard the news of the Witchbeast’s coming.

Quite a few soldiers suffered major and minor wounds.

It seems that many soldiers have already been injured after colliding with a herd of rhinos.

A man who seemed to be the captain of the city soldiers was saying something to our magic captain.

Maybe it’s time to ask for help.

The servants who could not escape because of the officials and soldiers screamed and clamored.

Everyone was bewildered.

“Soldiers of the dukedom, step back. Do not obstruct the path of the Witchbeast. We do not intervene in this matter. Even if the person in this position dies, do not try to save it.”

As soon as my words were spoken, the son of the lord of this city fell to the ground and cried out.

“Sah, save me! They recognize their enemies by smell. First, they killed several people. They come in droves! Everyone here is dying! Please save me!”

“Duke! Now, the merciful Duke! Please!”

“Save me!”

Officials and servants also implore, banging their foreheads on the ground.

I ignored them and mounted the escort’s horse.

One of the servants clung to the leg of the magic bottle and howled.

“Save me. Please… I have a little daughter. If I die… my daughter…”

The servant’s cry is unusual.

I quietly looked around at the people.

Comparing the appearance of the entire population at one time, the differences were clear.

Some people just harbor normal fears. It is a general fear given by the existence of a witch.

But some were trembling too much.

Maybe he found out about it during his mother’s attack.

That rhinos are very docile, but very cruel to those who harm their family.

And knowing it through smell.

Those who are overly fearful know that this time is their turn.

When they see the wounds on their calves and their mother lying dead next to them, they know that they will be killed by the rhinoceros.

I glanced at the servant hanging from the leg of the magic bottle and turned my head.

“let’s go.”

When my horse fell off, the magician shook the servant off and jumped on top of the horse.

The soldiers of the duchy moved away from the warehouse in an instant.

The soldiers of the duchy surrounded the manor house and warehouse in a circular line and stood quietly.

A herd of rhinos runs toward the warehouse.

The ground trembled with each step they took.

City officials, sons and servants of the lord began to flee, not paying attention to the eyes of the soldiers.

Even among the soldiers, there were those who threw away their swords and ran.

I watched it from my horse.

****[City Servant]****

Cut it.

When people fell, they cut the small body with a saw.

Even if the saw breaks, the order does not end.

I got a new saw and put it back on my little body.

The Demon Beast Cub had a strange cry.

The screams are like the sound of a flute blown by a large horn.

Pooh… Pooh…

I cried so much in pain, but it couldn’t be that sad.

But another order is given.

Cut, split the skin, need bones.

Another servant brought an axe.

The fellow servant hit the ground next to him, unable to bear seeing the pup in pain.

A colleague was beaten.

But the next servant couldn’t bring himself to hit the cub with an ax either.

The angry lord took the ax and hit it instead, and what happened after that…

‘I was the only one who could do it. I have a daughter and a wife, a mother and a father.’

The guys who didn’t do their job properly were beaten up afterward.

When one person was fired for being useless, he gradually adjusted to it.

It all happened in a day and a half.

Humans tend to adapt to anywhere.

At first, my colleagues who couldn’t even touch it were able to do sawing little by little.

When the mother attacked, the lord was digging through the baby’s body.

He was trying to extract the bone somehow.

But no matter how young they are, the skin and muscles are tough, so cutting them took too long.

Cannot be easily pulled out.

Knowing that it would take more time in the end, the lord got angry.

Knowing that the mother was chasing him, the lord wanted to catch him too.

I don’t know much about it, but it seems that the demon’s bones turn into money.

Many soldiers died.

When the mother followed her to the warehouse, the lord gave another order.

I put the cub behind the hardest wall in the shed and forced it to scream.

The easiest way to do this is to break the warehouse door, but the mother, mad at the screams of her calf, repeatedly hit her head on hard, hard-to-break parts and collapsed.

It must have been because he lost a lot of energy from breaking down the original castle gate.

Everyone thought the mother was dead.

It seems that Youngju thought so too.

So you’d come close

It was literally an instant for the mother to suddenly stand up and receive the lord with her horns.

To escape, the lord entered the warehouse.

When people are in trouble, they don’t seem to be able to make good judgments.

I should have run towards the soldiers or servants.

If that was the case, the exhausted demon would have been unable to pursue the lord and eventually collapsed within a few feet.

Chasing after the lord who went to the warehouse, the witch entered the warehouse, but no one dared to enter it.

In the end, people went into the warehouse long after the demon fell.

It seems that the witch bit the lord right before he died.

Life was barely on the line, but the lord was in a more painful state than being dead.

The whole face was crushed, and I couldn’t tell where the eyes were and where the mouth was.

The bones are said to have been completely shredded.

However, seeing that he is still alive, the lord is also a very toxic person.

The angry young master stabbed the beast’s eyes several times with a spear and slashed them with a knife… He treated them so cruelly that everyone who saw them looked away.

In the meantime, the cub kept crying while watching it.

It was a bad thing.

Anyway, I heard that he was a gentle guy, but I knew that the witch beast was very vicious.

Later, I heard that there was a person who died because the mother trampled on it with particular cruelty.

He was the one who carried the young here from the forest.

He was rewarded by the lord for catching the baby beast.

He boasted of it and all the servants were envious.

It is said that the mother was unable to move while giving birth to another cub, whether it was raising a cub that had lost its mother or giving birth to two cubs in a row.

That’s why they were able to secretly capture the cubs that were a little away from their mothers.

Since you said you couldn’t see it, the Witchbeast remembers enemies by smell.

But this time, ten of them?

The servant got lost and ran through the darkness.

After running for a while, the servant stopped walking out of breath.

I don’t think I can go any further even if I die.

I was on the floor gasping, when the ground started shaking.

I was more afraid.

Startled, I looked behind me, and in the dark air, a thicker darkness swayed and followed me.

‘It’s a demon!’

The servant put up a heavy bridge.

It was so hard that I forced my wobbly legs and started running again, the shaking of the ground coming closer and closer.

Kung Kung Kung The ground shakes.

aaah, when a scream came out involuntarily, something heavy attacked from behind.

It’s like a huge black hammer hit me.

A crack, the sound of bones breaking echoed in my brain.

Whether it’s the head, the waist, or the whole body.

The servant heard the sound of his body squeezing as he was caught between the ground and something heavy.

‘…’

He just followed orders.

A servant cannot disobey his master’s orders.

But the beast doesn’t know that.

It’s unfair.

Thinking so, the servant slowly lost consciousness.

****[Oscar, the main character] ****

The herd of rhinos broke through the warehouse door and entered the shore.

After a while, cries began to echo inside.

pu… pu…

A sound resembling a boat horn spreads mournfully through the night sky.

All the servants had already run away.

The soldiers didn’t know what to do and looked around, and eventually more than half of them ran away.

For a while, the rhinos just kept crying.

And after a while, the rhinos started coming out one by one.

The rhinoceros runs, thumping the ground.

Every time they took a step, the ground shook with the depth of their rage.

The rhinos trampled the oncoming soldiers and began to run into the darkness.

A human scream rang from the direction the rhino had disappeared.

It seems that there were also people who fled to the Yeongju-gwan.

The sound of collapsing buildings pierced the night air.

In the meantime, another human scream mingled.

Screams and screams continued, the ground trembled, and in the meantime the night deepened.

Not even stars are visible in the sky.

It looks like it’s time for the sun to rise.

No more screams were heard.

One by one, the rhinos gathered back into the warehouse.

In front of and inside the warehouse, the cry of a rhino rang for a while like a boat horn.

The baby’s cries had already ceased a long time ago, and could no longer be heard.

The rhinos, crying sadly in the dark, left the warehouse with their large bodies drooping.

Take a few steps, look back, and take another step.

When one of them gave a loud, long cry, the others in the group also cried bitterly.

After the rhinoceros disappeared into the hazy darkness, I approached the warehouse.
