Nigoru Hitomi de Nani wo Negau ch 67

67. Chapter 67

Walm kicked the kobold while exhaling an unsteady breath, noticing the shaking earth. He wondered if his semicircular canals were paralyzed by the pile of fatigue, but his body was “still” normal.

Perhaps it was caused by a few remaining comrades or a monster that had escaped death. In any case, Walm was convinced that something was causing the creeping vibration, and so he tried to search for the cause.

To his wonder, something was finally in sight. Sprinkled with debris and soaring dust, the castle gate had been crushed without a trace, and something was heading straight for Walm.

It looked like an earthworm, but its surface was covered with hardened skin and there was no eyeball. More importantly, it was huge. Walm had heard about it.

“No way, is it a “Tyrant Worm”?! Such a big one still left!?”

Walm received the information about some monsters from the Deborah family, a former adventurer, who believed that some other dangerous monsters might have invaded the Highserk Empire’s territory along with the Flame Emperor Dragon.

The monster, which could be said to have a high degree of danger even in A-class monsters, shook its huge body, lifted it, and slammed it in Walm’s direction.

Despite the casual slam, the monsters surrounding Walm were wiped out. When the tip of the head was opened in 5 directions, the Tyrant Worm entangled the monster that was stuck, lifted the head, and swallowed it.

Blood droplets and pieces of meat from the pathetic monster poured down onto the surface of the earth like a heavy rain.

“No discrimination huh?”

It had a destructive power and indiscriminate predatory behavior, but this was a desirable development for Walm. The commander of the great outbreak that attacked Dandurg Castle had been lost, and some monsters must have been freed from their constraints.

If there was a problem, it was the fact that Walm was also regarded as a very attractive and favorable prey because of his mana.

“Do I look like a tasty food?”

Walm used wind magic to dodge the approaching head, which was also scraping the ground. As a result, the buildings collapsed, scattering what was actually heavy debris like a cannonball.

The movement was slow, but due to its size, it caused widespread damage. Walm couldn’t get closer to the treatment area anymore. If such a monster rushed in, the injured who couldn’t move would be a nice snack to fill its stomach.

Walm deployed 《Demon Fire》 as what his mana allowed him to, and kept roasting the Tyrant Worm.

Perhaps lacking vocal cords, the Tyrant Worm gritted its teeth, twisted, and spread destruction randomly. An as expected, the outer skin was enveloped by a magical barrier, so the whole body couldn’t be burned by the blue flames. He might have been able to burn it to death if he had continued to roast with maximum force, but now Walm couldn’t resort to this luxurious way of fighting.

A longsword was slashed to the outer skin, but the outer skin was thick. There was no other choice but to make a hole somewhere, as in the past when fighting a Crawler, and burn it from the inside. Since there were no joints or eyeballs, it wasn’t possible to aim at a relatively soft spot and burn it to death. Identifying the place of excretion, would also be extremely difficult.

At this moment, the broken battle axes at one of the defense layers in Sarajevo Fortress came to mind. Unlike the three idiots, there wasn’t even any trace of “his” body left. The Commander of Walm’s former squad would have tried to destroy it from the inside with his battle axes and his skill《Strike》. Alas, such a begging was nothing but escapism. Walm immediately switched his consciousness.

Fortunately, the Tyrant Worm was following the tasty-looking Walm. He was about to succeed in moving it to near the walls, away from the treatment center and other human-inhabited areas.

The oral cavity of the Tyrant Worm, which had begun to pick and eat nearby food with its chin wide open, was exposed. The whole body of the orc was rubbed down by its myriad of fangs. The spilled limbs were covered with yellowed saliva.

The unscrupulous Tyrant Worm was obsessed with fresh monsters and abandoned corpses. In terms of toughness and strength, it surpassed a Crawler, but its brain was less than that of an insect.

Walm, who went into the gaps in the rubble and escaped to the outside of its senses, ran up to the rampart with wind magic to get a whole view. At this rate, his mana would only be wasted. It was obvious to Walm that his mana would be dried out by the end of the fight.

The Tyrant Worm, relying on its sense of smell to find prey, couldn’t find Walm, who had escaped to the rampart, and was trying hard to pick up the surrounding monsters.

The Tyrant Worm was excellent at eradicating its fellow monsters. As expected, such a big oral cavity shouldn’t be directed at humans.

Even now, the ugly mouth opened in five directions, and the burned ogre went inside. Walm, thinking about how to land damage, had his eyes fixed on the huge mouth. A dangerous bet just came to his mind.

There might be other safety measures, but if the Tyrant Worm ate up all the food, it would start moving. If that happened, Walm would miss the opportunity

“Is there no other way?”

After moving from the wall to the gate tower, Walm searched for the object. Fortunately, there was still abundant of it.

Walm randomly tore open the belly of the monster and cut off its head.

A disgusting smell spread through the nasal passages.

Though, Walm’s body wanted to push it off, no other choice, and acid rose from the back of his throat. The intestines and other organs that no longer had any function stuck lightly to his body.

The color was perfect, and the rich aroma would greatly stimulate the customer’s appetite. Walm, praising himself for his good sense, screamed as he spread the smell with wind magic.

“OI! Earthworm Bastard!! Until when are you going to eat that bad stuff!? The real treat is HEREEEE!!!!”

Walm screamed like the high-pitched grief of a girl brought down by her rival and driven by the flames of jealousy.

The flirtatious Tyrant Worm shifted interest from the monsters that were craving its attention and rushed straight to Walm.

“Yes, come! Follow me!!”

The big mouth opened and the inside of the oral cavity was clearly visible. There were a lot of fangs, too small to count, and a lot of food scraps caught in between.

Walm ran, keeping a certain distance. If he stumbled, he would join the pieces of meat in its mouth. He had no desire for cruelty such as letting himself be minced.

“Hah, huh, hah, it’s fast even though it has no legs.”

Fortunately, Walm arrived at the destination without getting lost or falling. Walm jumped into the entrance of the gate tower. Countless fangs were approaching his eyes.

“Uhh――”

The mouth wanted to devour Walm, but the dragon-like giant was too large to fit through the entrance for a human to pass through. The Tyrant Worm collided with the gate tower and let out an incredible roar as it felt itself being blocked.

The Tyrant Worm tried to bite into the gate tower with its fangs and get rid of the stones, which was the sight Walm had been waiting for.

The smell that could bend your nose was all over the body. It was unclear how much corpse meat had been caught and eaten. Walm’s nasal passages were rejecting, but he kept pressing on in the face of a long-awaited opportunity.

“Are you sure leaving your mouth that wide open!? It’ll get burned!!!”

The 《Demon Fire》, used with all might, spread explosively through the mouth cavity and burned down the guts.

The Tyrant Worm closed its mouth and tried to escape the blue flame, but the fangs dug into the gate tower and the flame burned its muscles, causing adhesions and preventing it from closing normally.

“I won’t let you run away!!”

The Tyrant Worm was twisting violently and continued to be burned from within by the blue flames that could even melt iron. And after a few seconds, the giant trembled a little.

The movement slowed down, and finally, the Tyrant Worm was exhausted without escaping from the gate tower and the blue fire.

“I, won.”

Repeated battles, exhausted mana, nauseous fatigue, distorted vision. and even loss of balance. Unbearable, Walm collapsed from his knees.

Walm felt the victory, but he frowned at the falling objects. It was only a fragment, but it gradually increased in size and number.

The rush and nasty footsteps of the Tyrant Worm caused fatal damage to the gate tower, which was built where its structural strength could be maintained without relying on pillars.

The gate tower began to collapse. His plan wasn’t very thorough. It was no joke to Walm, to win the battle but lost the war.

“Hahh, is this the end?”

The only entrance had been blocked by a large burnt Tyrant Worm. A large amount of rubble that could easily crush a human fell from above.

Walm crawled pathetically and could only try to escape, even if it would be in vain.

Then the words flowed out of his mouth as if of their own accord.

“I’m sor, ry…”

Was it for his country? Comrades? Or―― Only Walm knew.

The last thing Walm saw with his burning eyes was the approaching rubble. 

As the vivid world turned dark, his consciousness was lost.
