I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor

Episode 78

“Even we don’t know what the hell this is all about… It wasn’t long after we went out to inspect the trenches, and a lot of monsters came. If I hadn’t continuously injected mana into the defenses, I might have died right away.”

“Did you check where they came from?”

“That’s it … I got like crazy X on the right mountain slope. I’m not sure why.”

Answering Giorno’s words, the nowon dandy man scratched the back of his head shyly. It was because he had gone through life and death with Chocozoa just before, so he didn’t care about why the monsters came.

However, as he said, the monsters came pouring in from the right hillside as if they had promised, and there were dozens of them, enough to pile up even after filling up the ceiling of the trench blocked by the advanced protection shield.

“…I thought he was really alive.

” Why are you here now

?

It was to the point where they couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or a real life for them who were aiming to log out together due to intentional death.

Damian, who focused on blowing them away using the range and explosive power of the < Corruption Potion > reaching the master level, and Hye-eun, who sheltered Damian so that he could focus only on opening the way.

In addition, Giorno’s broadsword, which cut down the monsters pouring down on the two with a single knife, gave the now-won dandy man a surprise as if he had descended as a sword demon.

It was because it was no exaggeration to say that Giorno’s prestige, who had reached level 99 and could be said to be one or two steps higher than himself, was a new level.

“I was lucky. You handled it well.”

“If I had come a little later, I would have just logged out. It was a real limit.”

When Hye-eun said that she was glad, Nowon Dandy Nam sighed.

It seemed he was out of his mind because he had just crossed the line of fire.

Of course, since he was in the barracks, he’s a good-natured guy who’s been the first to talk to him, and judging from what he’s talking about, he’s a naturally sociable person.

Seeing that she speaks comfortably to Hye-eun, including Damian, whom she has never seen before, it is tantamount to disproving that she is in an urgent situation to the extent that she can’t even think of such a face value.

“Have you ever seen Amoeba King?”

“Ameba… what?”

“Why are there Crusader users? You were holding a mace.”

“Ah~ that gentleman? no? why?”

Poof!

And when Nowon Dandy Nam tilted his head at Damian’s question, Chocojoa, who was standing next to him, finished drinking the mana potion and added his words.

“At first, no one came here. Except for monsters.”

“Aha, is that so?”

“yes. In fact, I didn’t even care who came. Because I was busy with my life, I was only talking about shields. I didn’t have time to observe.”

“okay! If you were really picky, you almost became rice right away?! Why did you ask about the news of the nobleman? Can’t you reach him either?”

“What is it like?”

It would be correct to say that there is nothing to contact in the future.

“huh? Is there anything I can do to contact you?”

“yes.”

“What do you mean by that? Could it be that he was eaten by a monster?”

“That’s the truth…”

Soon after, the now-won dandy man turned his head toward Hye-eun and made a flagship.

“what?!!!”

“Ameba King… hit the head?!”

According to Hye-eun, Amoeba King was the one who faked Damien’s streaming and joined in under the guise of coincidence, while using an unknown blue cloth artifact to lure the monsters of Berthas Plateau to the 8th camp.

And because of that, even the central camp, let alone the left trench, was occupied by monsters, so even coming here had to risk life and death.

“Judging by the reaction, I don’t think he’s lying.”

“I think so, master!”

While Nowon Dandy Nam and Chocojoa became contemplative and spattered, Damian rubbed his chin and thought.

That was the reason he subtly asked about Amoeba King.

Damian was able to deduce from Nowon Dandynam’s words that the route where the Amoeba King and monsters appeared was from the trench on the right, and at the same time, he could feel the idea that they might be Amoeba King and his teammates.

Even the fact that Amoeba King, who had logged out, was wrapped in an honorific language was a kind of pun to speak naturally so as not to arouse the suspicion of Nowon Dandy Nam.

In short, to this 10-year-old, thick-boned man, such tongue movements were like a kind of passive that popped out on his own without intention.

“Such nonsense…”

“You were a streamer? No, aside from that, why the hell is that a deal?!”

“I don’t know either. From what you’re saying, it looks like you’ve received money.”

“…I’m really going to turn around.”

Whoa!

So, nowon dandynam couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at Damian shrugging his shoulders without much inspiration.

It was a blow to the stomach.

In the first place, due to the topographical feature of Berthas Plateau, movement-related magic such as various return scrolls and teleports did not work at all due to the vortex of mana.

Considering that it was an area where even whispers, which enable convenient communication between adventurers, were impossible, it was not something to be relieved to have survived on a remote search route outside the fortress.

It was a much more serious matter than it seemed at first glance.

Nowon Dandy Nam is an adventurer who knows how to roll his brain quite a bit, unlike his brash personality.

In the first place, the defense of Aldeon Fortress consisted of participants with at least gold level skills.

Each of them could be said to be seasoned adventurers on a different level from most babbling people.

“Fact 1. There is an artifact that can cause monsters to randomly flock. Fact 2. The user with the artifact had bad intentions and played streamer Damian. Fact 3. The monsters here are crazy enough that the lowest level monsters reach levels 6-70. Then…”

“Aren’t we X?!”

drain!

…It was only natural for the nowon dandy man to scream at Chocojoa’s words and press down on his cheeks like Munch’s self-portrait.

I thought it was only now that I had just been rescued from death and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the outbreak of monsters was not accidental and out of the blue, it was someone’s plan that had been prepared since the 6th reconnaissance team was formed.

It was no exaggeration to say that there was no guarantee that they would safely return to Aldeon Fortress.

“But… it’s a bit strange.”

“What are you talking about, master!”

“Why aren’t the monsters coming?”

While Nowon Dandy Nam was wrapping his hair, Damian turned his head toward the peak and narrowed his eyes.

Even if it was quiet, it was too quiet.

The battle they had just fought in the trenches was fierce enough to remind of a high ground battle.

The battle, which almost wiped out Giorno’s divine power, was not as long as expected.

Compared to the central camp, Damian couldn’t help but tilt his head at the number of monsters, so small that it could be said to be new blood.

It was a sense of incongruity, as if a piece of a puzzle was empty.

Of course, in a fierce battle of this level, the monsters would chase them from the central camp.

Additional troops should have arrived from beyond the hillside to the right, the source of the amoebaking and other monsters.

The monsters didn’t show up in the front trenches anymore, as if it was like that, and thanks to that, Nowon Dandy Nam and Chocojoa were also able to barely survive.

“Definitely strange.”

“Captain Giorno?”

Poof!

And while the members of the 6th reconnaissance group exchanged opinions, Damian could easily hear Giorno muttering as he was closely examining the surrounding terrain.

Contrary to his expressionless expression, it was as if he did not understand something.

“The reason Aldeon Fortress organizes a scouting party with a small number of people is that the monsters outside the boundaries are sensitive to sound. So, unless it’s a fortress battle like Twin Moon Day, we don’t try to save each other’s group in local battles. As the battle continues, more and more monsters will come and the battle will grow out of control in the end.”

“So-called… out of control?”

“Yes. In order to control the number of monsters, it is necessary to keep their distribution below a certain level, and it is much better to focus on large-scale battles than to reinforce and consume troops in small-scale local battles. That is the policy of Aldeon Fortress, which has been fighting them for a long time, and also the rule of Night Crow. It’s something you can understand just by looking back at the battles so far.”

“I guess so. It is also the most efficient way.”

Damian rubbed his chin at Giorno’s words.

It wasn’t a word that made much sense.

Considering the monsters who always beat the walls of the fortress with numbers that overwhelmed humans, it cannot be said that they were completely inhuman.

As much as that, it was true that they always appeared in front of them with a power that exceeded expectations, and they were constantly changing as if they were learning.

land of the cursed.

This was the reason why Night Crow, including Giorno, did not feel any agitation even as they abandoned their comrades like straw.

By the way…

“Now this silence is very rare. no it’s not common Something must be happening.”

Poof!

Giorno stood up. As if looking through the slopes of the mountains on his right, his gaze was drawn into the darkness.

As he said, the fortress had no choice but to die.

In addition, looking back on their sensitivity to sound, which is their characteristic, it was impossible for Damian and the 6th reconnaissance team to spend their time leisurely like this.

Even if Amoeba King’s artifact lost its function due to aggro, it was not very convincing.

Their physical abilities far exceed those of humans, and unless they have become idiots as a group due to the Artifact, they will be able to invade this place.

“Something… looks like a flying animal.”

“A flying beast?”

“yes. Also sensitive to sound. It’s like tearing your mouth open when there’s something to eat in front of you.”

And when Giorno raised one eyebrow at Damian’s words, Damian turned his head toward the darkness that Giorno was looking at.

It was a passing thought.

If you call them flying beasts, why do they not attack even though there is a prey nearby?

The reason why there is no response even when tools that create artificial temptation are used.

Perhaps it was something that could threaten one’s life to the point of not even paying attention to the prey in front of him—.

“…Ah.”

Maybe it’s because he’s sticking his teeth into himself.

– That-who-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-!

And a ferocious roar rang out over the darkness of Berthas Plateau.
