I am not a returner Episode 294
Interlude – Banquet (4)
An intense killing that pierces the skin.
The sharply torn silver eyes turned to Ojin.
“Are you going toy hands on my daughter?”
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
Oh Jin couldn’t even imagine that such a bombshell woulde out of Liru’s mouth, so he couldn’t help but feel unfair.
However, how can a father maintain his senses when he sees his daughter, whom he raised with great care, spouting obscene words in front of his eyes that he is reluctant to even say?
Even Leoru has been drinking quite a bit right now.
It was difficult to expect a normal ident.
“No matter how beautiful our Liru is like an angel…!”
Crack!
Leoru changes his body into the form of a werewolf.
The evil energy spread out in all directions.
“How dare you! “Riruruuuuu!”
“Oh dad! “It’s not like that!”
“Calm down Jin, Chief!”
The Silver Mane tribe members who were drinking together rushed in and caught Leoru, who was screaming with his eyes rolled back.
After the drinking party got so hot that there was amotion that caused it to burst into mes.
“…sorry.”
Leoru lowers his head after hearing the whole story.
Next to him, Liru looked at him with a hesitant expression.
“Liru.”
“Hibb?!”
“…never say such a thing from now on.”
“I’m sorry.”
Liru lowers her head in despair.
Leoru let out a deep sigh and red at the subordinate who had inadvertently cheated on Leeru.
“I’ll be sure to tell this to your wife.”
“Chief Joe, that much!”
“noisy!”
He kicked away the clinging load and stood up.
“Let’s drink here for today.”
“Yes, of course.”
I couldn’t drink any more because Leolu was so violent that the table and chairs were all destroyed.
“Mr. Oh Jin.”
“yes?”
“What is your next destination?”
“…well.”
There were some twists and turns, but for now, things werepleted well in the Beastman Kingdom.
Now the remaining ces are the kingdom of the dragon people and the kingdom of the demon people.
I had to decide where to go first.
‘In my heart, I want to go to where the demon kingdom is.’
After fighting with Kalyke, my thoughts changed.
‘It’s dangerous to head straight to the demon kingdom.’
No matter how much Ojin and his group had powerparable to a one-man army, the same was true for the Majins.
Even if they wanted to request support from Earth, they were busy dealing with the Named Demon Beasts who had begun to move in earnest on their own terms.
So what are the options that Oh Jin can choose now?
“I n to go to the dragon kingdom first.”
Fighting against the demon race by borrowing the power of the beast people and dragon people.
That was the only way to fight against the demons.
“Are you talking about the Dragonian Kingdom?”
“It was that kind of name.”
“…You didn’t even know my name?”
“yes.”
Since it had been less than a month since I came to Magyeong, there was still too little information.
“hmm. “Then of course you don’t know how to get there.”
“Have you ever been there, Chief?”
“no. “I have never been there myself.”
“okay.”
I was hoping that I could get some useful information from Leoru.
Oh Jin clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.
“But I know the way to go. But…”
“Is there some problem?”
“It takes a very long time because we have to go around the Sky Mountains.”
“Sky Mountains?”
What does that mean?
“Hmm. “I guess I should exin that first.”
Leoru opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression.
“There are three prohibited areas in the Demonic Sutra. “It is a ce called the Forest of the Magic Sea, the Sky Mountains, and the Dry Valley that Mr. Oh Jin came across.”
Forest of the Demon Sea, Sky Mountains, Dry Valley.
“The location is… roughly like this.”
Leoru draws a map on the ground by pointing to a nearby tree branch.
The Forest of Mahae was a ce Ojin had passed through, so it was naturally familiar to his eyes, but there was one terrain other than the Forest of Mahae that was quite familiar.
“…was this a dry valley?”
“Oh yeah. “Did you know?”
“I’ve actually been there before.”
This is where Ojin first arrived in the Demon World after being sucked into the ck crack.
It was a dry valley where demonic beasts so hideous that it made you feel nauseous just to look at them.
‘So you’ve already been to two of the three forbidden ces in the Demonic World?’
Ojinughed and looked at the map drawn by Leoru.
“Just beyond the Sky Mountains is the kingdom of the dragon people, right?”
“yes. However, I do not rmend crossing the Sky Mountains.”
Leoru shook his head with a stern expression.
“The Sky Mountains are the domain of the Behemoth.”
“Behemoth?”
“It is a powerful demonic beast that dominates the Sky Mountains area. “It is a magical beast that has received the grace of the ck Star.”
It’s the grace of the ck star.
Ojin’s eyes shone sharply.
The image of the mother monster I faced when I first fell into the demon realm shed through my head.
‘It’s the Holy Spirit.’
Like Riak, a being who inherits part of the constetion’s soul.
Considering the absurd power the mother monster showed, it would have been better to avoid it as much as possible.
“How long does it take to go around the mountains?”
“The Sky Mountains are so wide… even if you travel quickly, it will take close to two months.”
In the current situation where the Majins were preparing arge-scale invasion of Earth, wasting two months was too fatal.
“…Can you exin more about Behemoth?”
“Are you really nning on crossing the mountain range?”
“Because I don’t have much time.”
We have already crossed the forest of the Horse Sea and the dry valley.
There is no reason to avoid the Sky Mountains.
“Well, I have no intention of catching Behemoth or anything like that.”
The reason for crossing the Sky Mountains was to arrive at the dragon kingdom as quickly as possible.
There was no reason to fight against the Holy Spirit of the ck Star.
“…hmm.”
Leoru swallowed his sleep and nodded.
“Behemoth is a magical beast blessed by Felis, the constetion of Cat. “It is also called ‘the ck storm’ because of its frightening speed.”
“Is there any way to avoid him?”
“That’s… all I can say is that you have to be lucky.”
Leoru shook his head with an embarrassed expression.
“It roams around the Sky Mountains as if it were its home, so the only way to avoid it is to cross the mountains and hope to avoid encountering it as much as possible.”
“…okay.”
Oh Jin clicked his tongue and frowned.
It was very annoying to know that the only way was to pray and pray that we wouldn’t encounter each other.
‘I have no choice if there is no other way.’
In the worst case, I had to quickly go to the Dragonian Kingdom to fight Behemoth.
“Thank you for good information.”
“no. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
Leoru lowered his head with a stiff expression.
I wanted to attach a bodyguard to help Ojin, but since I couldn’t even deal with the pro-Main faction that still remained in the kingdom, I couldn’t take out my precious power.
“it’s okay.”
“…Once the work within the Khan Kingdom is over, I will definitely help Mr. Ojin.”
“Just saying those words makes me feel reassured.”
Oh Jin chuckled and got up from his seat.
“Then I’ll just go to bed.”
The banquet is over.
Now is the time to stock up on stamina to cross the Sky Mountains.

next day.
“Ah… my head hurts…”
Ha-eun walked out like a zombie, holding her head as if her hangover wasn’t going away.
Even with her messy hair and clothes, her appearance did not fade at all.
“Are you okay, sister?”
“Ugh. “I’m going to die.”
Ha-eun found Oh-jin packing his luggage and rushed over.
Clinging to Ojin like a cicada, she slowly lifted her head and closed her eyes.
“kiss.”
Why is this older sister acting like this this morning?
“Nope.”
“why.”
“Your breath stinks.”
“No, it’s bad breath again.”
“Don’t you remember throwing up yesterday?”
“What what? “Did I even throw up?”
“I did.”
Also on my body.
“What is it Mr. “It really stinks?”
Although she roughly rinsed her mouth yesterday, Ha-eun frowned as if the smell hadpletely disappeared.
“I’m going to wash first!”
“ok.”
“Come back and kiss me!”
Oh Jin burst intoughter as he watched Ha-eun’s back as she quickly walked out.
If other people saw this, they would grab the back of their necks and say that their hands and feet would be crushed.
What can I do?
My sister asked me to do it, so I have to do it.
“Hmm… Then I go first today.”
Before I knew it, Isabe was next to me, closing her eyes and sticking out her lips.
As Ojin lightly kissed her, Isabeughed.
“Are you leaving today?”
“ok.”
“I wanted to stay a little longer… but it’s a shame.”
“Because I did everything I had to do.”
There was no reason to remain here.
“I guess I should say hello to the vigers.”
“Perhaps Mr. Leoru will gather the tribe members a littleter.”
It wasn’t a long meeting, but I couldn’t just leave without saying goodbye.
Ojin and Isabe packed their bags and came out.
The vige was bustling from the morning as they were cleaning up after yesterday’s banquet.
Ojin smiled slightly as he watched the beastmen running around busily.
“If it weren’t for you and my sister, I wouldn’t have seen this peaceful scene.”
Just because someone is a fraudster doesn’t mean that their human sensibilities have all been withered.
Perhaps because I lived in Seoul, which is full of buildings and apartments, the scenery of this quiet rural vige strangely stimted my emotions.
“I didn’t even have a hard time.”
“Now that you think about it, who were the demons who invaded the vige?”
I was so distracted that I didn’t even check.
“There’s a mansion we visited first, right? “They were the demons who lived there.”
“Ah. “He was the one with the weakest power.”
but.
There would have been no need to send a strong force to attack a vige where all the warriors had fled and only the elderly and children remained.
“What about the other one?”
“yes?”
“There must have been two demons who attacked the vige. “One was the one from the mansion we first visited, and who was the other?”
Two demons were killed by the Silver Mane tribe in the capital city.
There was one demon killed by Ojin.
It was said that there were a total of five demons in the kingdom, so two others would have headed to the vige.
“…What do you mean?”
Isabe frowned and tilted her head.
“There was only one demon in the vige?”
“….”
Oh Jin’s expression hardened.
If there was only one demon in the vige.
‘what.’
Of the five demons in the Khan Kingdom, four died.
then.
Where is the other one now?
