Why do flamingos stand on one leg? They’d fall over if they lifted both.

King of Iron Mountain (2)

– Quaang! Kwak!

Trees in the forest being swept away by the birch club wielded by an angry ogre.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nature breaks without mercy. Watching the traces of green that jump into the sky makes us realize that nature damage is not the exclusive property of humans.

“He’s really strong.”

A twin-headed ogre.

Well, they’re basically Siamese twin ogres with two heads.

Usually, Siamese twin deformed children have low immunity and high metabolism, so they do not live long.

How is this possible? Does it make sense that one head increases to become stronger?

“It’s a birch stick…”

“Have you ever been hit?”

one side of the forest. Old Man Harman, who had taken cover with me, stared at me without taking out his weapon. Even coming this far, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to help at all.

“When I was in middle school, I got teased by the teacher, so I got hit with it.”

Of course, it wasn’t the size that was bigger than my height.

“Oh, you must have been an insincere student.”

“Subjectively, I think I belonged to the class of model students.”

I was beating kids, smoking cigarettes. My grades weren’t good, but I was still doing well.

“Well, fine. So… when are you going to catch it?”

“Let’s relax a little bit more. Eoyu, that guy is really good. It’s a business, it’s a business.”

“·······.”

Old Man Harman smiled and silently affirmed my choice.

A few days ago, when I first discovered the cave inhabited by the twin-headed ogres, I had no intention of rushing into it.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Neither Old Man Harman nor the people involved in the association who came as support just in case don’t help me.

In a really dangerous situation, he will stand up for me, the tester, but at that moment, my level test is broken.

First of all, I investigated the habitat around the Twin Head Ogre. Are there any other monsters around, and how is the ecosystem created?

“Report your analysis, Corinne Locke.”

“Looking at the footprints around, there are many signs that ogres have traveled with long hounds. Coexistence seems clear.”

“How many long hounds do you have?”

“Three.”

“Huh? Are there only two footprints of quadrupeds that follow the footprints of an ogre?”

“One is female and pregnant.”

Old man Harmon grinned at my words, and the association guardians who came to evaluate them started writing something down.

“You seem to already know the answer, but try explaining it.”

“Besides the footprints, there are traces of dragging animals. This means that they don’t eat all the animals they hunted on the spot.”

Although the twin-headed ogre has a symbiotic relationship with the longhounds, hunting is basically the job of the hounds.

Ogre serves as a weapon of war against foreign enemies. It seems to be fulfilling its role by protecting the Longhounds from other monsters.

“Neither ogres nor longhounds have the concept of storing food. They have their own kind that cannot move, so they must get food for them.”

“excellent.”

-Saksak!

I hear association staff posting my ratings.

“Now then, Corinne Locke. How are you going to hunt the immature twin-headed ogres and long hounds, which are semi-1st level monsters?”

“First, drop the ogres and hounds.”

“how?”

“We are human. We have to use our brains.”

It’s unfortunate for them, but I’m quite a pro in this area.

* * * *

As humans begin to expand their influence, cities are developed, highways are maintained, and artifacts are increasing on the continent, but natural objects still occupy most of the world.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No matter how much trees are cut down by humans,

Even if humus is broken up and cultivated as farmland,

Even if the beasts defeated in the survival race disappear.

In the world, demonic beings that still threaten humans are majestically establishing their position.

The ruler of this forest is one of them.

To the twin-headed ogre who reigns like a tyrant in a forest with few humans passing through, this forest is no different from his own kingdom.

-Kong! I’m sorry!

The prey caught by the hounds is satisfactory today.

Big deer prey on not only tyrants but also hounds.

Hounds dragging the last remaining deer by the leg. The tyrant walked leisurely through the foggy forest as if taking a walk.

Even though it is not an adult, an ogre with a height of up to 4 m skillfully digs the forest road and stands at the head of the hounds.

Although it is said to be the ruler of the forest, the scope of its activities is basically fixed. Even in a misty forest, there is no reason to lose your way back to your nest.

-Kong! Kukong!

It was the hounds who noticed the change. They reacted sensitively to unfamiliar odors that invaded their nests.

That’s also true, because the female with her young was alone in the nest.

It is a grievous carelessness caused by no one encroaching on their territory since they became the rulers of the forest.

“bowl···!”

The ogre commands the hounds. The hounds, who were in a hurry, looked at the nest urgently.

does not exist.

There was no female that would be inconvenient to move around with a baby.

-Kong! I’m sorry!

A colleague cries. As if he had found traces of a female, there were traces of being dragged where he was.

It could be the traces of their prey someday, but the smell is different.

The intruder dragged the female off.

-Kaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

-Oh oh oh oh oh…!

The hounds roar ferociously. A companion, a female of the herd, realizes that her cub has been kidnapped and unleashes pure beastly fury.

The wrath of the forest ruler and his minions made the entire forest tremble.

-Kong! Kukong!

– Kkong-kkong!

The two males, distorted by rage, urged, creating a cacophony. have to chase I have to go find a female.

The ogre accepted that obvious question without hesitation. In a symbiotic relationship that complements each other in the harsh life of nature, duties and rights are parallel.

Respond when a situation arises. With this obvious proposition, the owners of the forest move.

The hounds run after her scent, and the ogre follows.

Two hounds running through a misty forest. It is not difficult for them to sniff, track and run at the same time.

-Kong!

Eyes running through the forest cross each other. The smell of the female gradually becomes thicker. Also, the smell of the intruder who dragged the female away.

As always.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Nothing can keep them out of the woods.

The geography of the forest where they were born and grew up is their courtyard. At the same time, as a monster, its strong four legs dig up the ground made of humus and jump over strong tree trunks.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

Now the foolish trespasser will pay the price for offending the rulers of the forest.

-Kkooong·······.

“······!!”

“······!!”

end of the chase. What they witnessed was a female lying down with a mournful sound.

“Kong!”

“Ki-ing… ki-yi…”

A female lying on her stomach and moaning. One of the lesser males runs towards the female. The one who becomes the father of the offspring born by the female.

“Kong kong! Kkong kong!”

A male confirms that his spouse is safe by rubbing his nose. The moment he tried to escape while supporting the female…

-click!

When the female body moved, something clicked and the rope made of twisted stems was pulled taut.

At the same time… a heavy log that was abandoned as if it had been neglected in the forest rises.

“What?”

rising log. Other logs connected to it begin to fall like inertia. The male who was dragging the female didn’t even respond–

-puck!

The entire face was blown off by the flying log.

“Kong kong! Kkong kong!”

From noble mtl dot com

The hounds dodged the logs flying towards them. Sensitive ears catch the explosion of alertness and unknown creepiness.

– Saaak!

Something falling through the air. As the hound rolled forward, sharp wooden stakes fell and hit the spot where the hound had been a moment before.

“Kong kong! Kkong kong!”

The thought of having been pierced from head to spine by that stake made my hair go numb. But the falling stakes don’t end there.

As if chasing a hunting dog, the stakes installed on the branches began to fall.

– Papak! Papapak!

Hounds running hurriedly for survival, not pursuit. Piles fall as if chasing them.

“Kreu…!”

However, the speed of the hound running without any spurt posture is close to 70 km per hour. A hound dog that goes faster than the falling stakes and confirms the safety behind it.

······Piles don’t fall anymore.

The corners of his growling mouth loosened in relief. It was too late when he noticed something under his stomach glowing.

『ᚲ』─ Kennaz.

ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ ᚲ

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No, even if you noticed, what would have changed? The flames covering the floor are too wide and dense to escape at 70 km/h.

-Fury!

There is no need to see the fate of the hound that was swallowed up by the flames rising from the ground.

-thud! thud! thud!

lord of the forest. When the twin-headed ogre, the owner of the hounds, arrived, the hounds had already been destroyed.

A couple of hounds hounded amicably on a log, and one escaped from a stake and was caught in a fire spreading through the woods and burned to death.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The two heads roar, sharing the same emotion.

A loud roar of tyrants.

That figure is the ruler of the forest. But it doesn’t give you time to get wet with sadness. Because the noose he inadvertently stepped on stimulated another trap.

Flying log trap. The two-headed ogre’s wide field of vision notices a flying trap.

– Booung!

The two-headed giant swung his right arm holding the club without moving a single step.

– Quaang!

A log soaring loudly with a birch stick sprouting from it.

In addition, there were several other traps that had not been activated yet, but they did not mean much in front of the twin-headed ogre’s unique wide field of view and strength.

But the tyrant does not know. That the hunt begins now.

* * * *

The ruler of this forest, the Twin Head Ogre, is also a born hunter.

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No. 1 head with a good eye. It is not too difficult to chase the trail of the prey as Head 2, who has a good sense of smell, has united to avenge the hounds.

Rather, there are so many traces that it is absurd. He’s a guy who can’t hide his footprints or smell properly. Hounds were beaten by this guy.

Of course, the journey wasn’t easy. It was because all kinds of traps were blocking the way as if to stop the ogre.

However, the twin head ogre is a semi-1st level monster without even being an adult. I can sweep away all the traps that can be caught by a hunting dog with my huge birch stick.

Sometimes they got stuck or stepped on sharp stakes, but those things only scratched the ogre’s thick hide.

However, contrary to expectations, the ogre could not find its prey on the first day.

There are definitely traces, but I’m persistently chasing them, but for some reason I can’t reach them. It seemed like it would barely touch, but it didn’t.

While camping with his regretful heart behind, he ambush the ogre.

『 ᚺ ᚻ 』 ─ Haglaz

An attack you would not be able to react to if either head was not awake. The rest of the twin-headed ogres’ heads were also awakened by the hailstones falling from the sky.

Hail was fine. Just a few small hailstones that fell on the ogre. Other than that, it’s an attack that doesn’t make any sense.

However, it is true that I am annoyed that my sleep is disturbed. The ogre showed its anger by slashing the surrounding trees mercilessly.

Even after that, these sabotage operations continued.

When I tried to fall asleep, hailstones fell like ghosts. If you ignore it after being hit a few times, a fire-filled stone will fly in and burn the surroundings.

They chased after dawn and made a mess around them, but the prey still showed only vague traces and never showed up.

three days like that.

Realize. You are being hunted.

The ogre’s body was wounded here and there by rune magic and nature traps, and the ogre, who had not been able to sleep for several days, was mentally exhausted.

The best resistance an ogre could make was to cripple the surroundings while holding a wound full of burns and abrasions.

Only bitterness and anger remained when he realized that his position as a hunter had been reversed and that he had been reduced to the prey.

“hi.”

afternoon of the third day. A hunter appeared.

“Whoaaaaaa~ What kind of trouble is this to catch you. Let’s finish it quickly.”

The hunter who harassed me so persistently and confronted me with nasty noises.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The ogre lets out a roar.

Corinne also lowers her posture like a beast.

The two shared the fateful time like sprinters waiting for a gunshot.

1 sec.

Ogre runs.

Corinne runs.

The spearman, who had been galloping like a gust of wind towards the huge ogre, gained momentum and made a great leap.

A body leaping into the air. At the end of the day, the ogre twists its mouth at the hunter who exposed such a huge loophole.

The moment it lands, I will hit that small body with a 2m tall birch club. However, the ogre’s scheming had to be limited to imagination.

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Goesan Ohui (壞山奧義),

Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?

No need for altruism, great blow

A spearman leaps into the air and throws a javelin.

This is the original source of creativity. original usage. It is a blow that boasts the most powerful destructive power that a bare-handed human can unleash.

– Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

A spear strikes through the air.

The moment the ogre inadvertently lifted the club, the two soldiers collided… the club, which had been smashing here and there for three days, cracked.

– Boom!

A birch stick that has disappeared from above. An incomprehensible storm passed and the right shoulder and upper body were blown away.

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The spearman, who landed after throwing a formidable javelin, ran without losing momentum. It was an ogre tired of pain, but the two heads had a wide field of view.

I stretched out my huge arms toward the rushing Korin, but he had already jumped into the ogre’s arms.

Bagua (八掛) Honwondu ((混元抖)

– Kkakjik!

A long blow that pierces an ogre’s stomach. The compressed internal strength of the whole body is released by shaking in the short circuit.

These are the three great seasons of Bagua. The shock transmitted inside ripped open the ogre’s intestines.

-thud!

A kneeling twin-headed ogre. The monster, internally injured by the shock that exploded inside, poured out blood from its two mouths.

“What the heck… I’ve filled the cores with Aura… but I didn’t even have a chance to try it out.”

Is this enough for a semi-1st class that is not even 1st class?

Over the past few days, Corinne, who has been preparing for a decisive battle while concentrating all of her Auras on her core, has an expression of dejection.

* * * *

The underground laboratory of Merkava Academy.

This place, where all kinds of experiment subjects are gathered, is the biggest reason why the professors of the Faculty of Magic reject the magic tower’s love call and let them work at the academy.

Professor Gold Miss Dana, who has been in her 15th year of service this year, wore a little thicker makeup and a little thicker perfume than usual.

In other words, the constant overtime work meant that skin troubles and body odor caused by not being able to wash were getting worse.

“Professor Dana.”

“Oh, are you a student in Marie?”

Marie, who has been helping the experiment as an assistant professor for the past few days, has helped her with the experiment in a fresh state that has not changed at all.

‘Wow… look at how nice the skin is. Is it youth…’

Professor Dana’s skin is by no means bad. Rather, because he is a wizard, he looks much younger than others.

But with real baby skin right in front of them, they don’t dare to stand side by side.

White and elastic skin, and softness that seems to wrap your fingers like glutinous rice cakes when pressed hard!

In her prime, Marie was full of the freshness of a girl, but the question is that she also stayed up all night under the same conditions as himself.

“Student Marie…haven’t you helped me a lot these past few days?”

“Uhm~ isn’t it?”

I am also self-aware. Even though he volunteered for the experiment, he wondered what happened as a teacher to make his teacher work overtime for more than three days.

However, Marie showed off her surprisingly strong stamina and was doing more than Professor Dana.

It’s possible to get a blemish around the eyes, but it’s so lively that it’s unnatural.

‘Is it because I’m a vampire?’

Marie, who had recently awakened as a vampire, was a hot potato in the Faculty of Magic. How many professors from the Faculty of Magic rushed in to prove that she was safe and rational enough.

Usually vampires showed pale skin and were weak even in sunlight, but in the case of Marie, it was concluded that among vampires, she was an elder-level vampire with more than a hundred years of age.

The elder level, right after the vampire level, is outside the standard… that is, it is a special class that cannot be measured. How powerful is the ‘monarch level vampire’ that is heading toward a legend?

As a scholar, I was stimulated with a lot of questions and inquiry, but that is not important now.

“Student Marie. How are the monsters needed for the ‘Iron Mountain King’ experiment?”

“Ah, yes. Well contained.”

“Thanks to student Marie, I think we can do more detailed experiments. The Dingle Peninsula’s Marzo and the super-class vampire… I’m sure there will be tremendous magical progress.”

“haha······.”

Marie gave a rare awkward smile. Dana immediately realized that she had made a mistake.

“Ah, I didn’t mean it that way. Of course, it’s unfortunate that Marie’s student awakened as a vampire. Yes, I made a mistake.”

“No, it’s fine.”

“A student of Marie?”

“Whether I’m a vampire or not, you’d think it didn’t really matter.”

“Yes?”

“That’s right! I forgot to feed the monsters! Sorry, I was distracted!”

“Umm… There’s no need for Marie to do chores like that.”

“No! It’s safer for me to go!”

“Keuk…”

Professor Dana couldn’t bear to deny that.

It was the day before yesterday that he asked for consolation money, medical expenses, and even mental compensation for an employee who was seriously injured while feeding monsters.

Even though the budget has become tight due to the purchase of first-class monsters such as King Tyrant and Hwayong for the experiment, another serious injury appears?

Let alone the budget screaming, it could be judged ineligible for the safety of the experiment.

“Boo, please.”

“Yeah~”

Marie appropriately used the fight against the budget to bring food to the monsters.

– Quite a bit! Quack!

-cackle!!

A corner of the second basement floor of the laboratory building. A scream that can be heard even in a large hallway.

The 4th grade monsters, Pangboer, could not stand the stress of our narrow cage and radiated dissonance as a group.

It is said that they caught a large number of fang borers, which increased thanks to the recent breeding season, and Professor Dana greedily bought them.

Even though the unit price had dropped, seeing hundreds of 4th grade monsters in one queue would have raised doubts about the money sense of magicians, but Marie didn’t think much of it.

– Pretty liquid!?

-Pretty dear?

– Pretty girl…

-fairly···

-kiing

When I thought I could hear human footsteps, the howls of the wildly screaming beasts began to fade.

Every time Marie’s pretty white shoes made the sound of stepping on the stone floor, the change was noticeable.

– Cheekyung!

A small hand touches the barbed wire that has driven hundreds of Pangboeos. Then a suffocating silence began.

············

············

············

They were ferocious bearers, but when Marie approached, it was clear that they were at a loss for what to do and were nervous.

Some Pangboer whimpered and buried their faces in the buttocks of their own people and hid.

– Cheekyung!

If it were an ordinary employee, he would have sprinkled the food through the bars, but Marie risked opening the bars and entering the cage.

The arm of the employee who was throwing food outside the cage also jumped up and bit the fangboers, and when Marie entered, time stopped as if it had stopped.

“Let’s eat.”

Overwhelmed by the ghostly energy emanating from Marie’s voice, gaze, and scent, the Fangboers lined up in perfect order in front of her while trembling.

Marie puts a small stone in one by one while giving chunks of chicken to the shivering Pangboers. The stones mixed with the food were not given by the staff.

– Well, well, well!

It was the moment when Pang Boer, who was hurriedly devouring the chicken in front of her, chewed up even a stone.

– Kwadeuk!

-talent?!

Marie snatched Pang Boer’s tusk like a ghost. Marie holding a tusk twice as big as my small hand and raising it with amazing strength.

Pang Boer struggled and floundered in the air, but with a weight approaching 400kg, she couldn’t escape Marie’s grip on her tusks.

– Eww! Crunchy!

The sharp tusk cracked due to grip strength beyond imagination.

“weird.”

The golden eyes of the fresh aqua-haired girl slowly turn red.

Beasts feel the demonic spirit of a beast wearing a girl’s mask with their skin through their instinctive sixth sense.

– Quite a bit…

-Kiiyi…

Only one of his kind is caught, but all the Fangboers are frozen as if frozen.

If they were watching, Pangboa, who was lifted up with her tusks held by Marie, was now incontinent.

“I told you.”

Bright yellow liquid dripping down the trembling hind legs. The farm girl, accustomed to the smell of manure, doesn’t mind the pungent smell that formed the puddle.

“Don’t chew the stone. Swallow it whole.”

The red evil eye, now completely stained, oppresses the Pangboers.

Hundreds of Pangboers hurriedly swallowed the stone in front of them as if they were competing.
