Chapter 428

While also being deeply moved, he looked around the surrounding and understood that they were on the edge .



Although the Doltos were going straight at first, their path deviated along the way .

Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that they were definitely moving forward . In the first place, there’s no way they can get lost in this one way road . They could spot few others who had made it to the wall like them .

And when they turned back, despite the number of people killed, even more were being pushed forward as if to overrule it .

After a while, even more war slaves are probably going to make it this far . And more of them will lose their lives, either on their way here, or after .

The castle siege plan begins now .

“But even still, what do we even do about this huge wall?”

The only tool given to them was a ladder . A long 15 meter tall ladder to conquer the walls .

However, they had dropped that long ago . The war slaves who had been carrying the ladder were all pierced by arrows and were burnt to crisp .

They didn’t know where the other ladders were at that moment . At the very least, they couldn’t spot any in the surrounding and there were no ladders put up against the wall .

Although, even the goblin had a ladder, he wouldn’t want to climb a 15 meter tall wall . The proud Daidaros knight would probably climb it . And that’s probably why he made it this far silently .

“Hey, hey, mister, what will you—”

“Here . ”

The goblin heard his voice for the first time here . However, that voice was different from the time when he showed him the way in Daidaros’ capital .

Is he speaking with an accent? Did his throat get scraped? A low voice?

All of which are correct but none are the core problem .

“Here… wall… climb…”

This isn’t the voice of someone sane .

While saying that, the lizardman looked up towards the top of the wall .

“M-mister…?”

“Ku-cli… enemy . . demon… kill…”

And at that moment, a scream reverberated . The goblin held down his sharp ears and let out a shriek . But his voice died out in front of the lizardman’s roar—no, the thing in front of him… it was “something else” .



“Wh-what is… this…”

The white robe covering the lizardman’s body flew off .

And underneath wasn’t green scales—it was two audacious arms covered with reddish-brown fur . It wasn’t the arm of a lizardman . In the first place, his arm was still there .

Those two beast-like arms grew from his shoulders . In other words, he now had four arms .


However, it didn’t stop there . His massive chest muscles divided and a head came out—someone else’s head .

That head looked that of an orc’s . A dark skinned orc . And his face looked atrocious . And because of that, the white ring inserted on top was standing out .

The eyes opened up and got a hold of its body in a moment . Its hectic eyes didn’t stabilize, as if it was searching for something important .

“O, ooo… . Guuoooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

After letting out a scream, the former lizardman clung onto the wall with momentum .

And when he looked closely, he noticed that the creature had long bent claws which were sharp like knives .

And it wasn’t just its hands . The same thing happened with its legs . No, even the strong burly lizardman tail had a claw coming out of the tip .



It precisely pierced into the wall’s unevenness with its claws .

“Gaaa!!”

And with a sharp voice, the strange-looking knight started climbing the wall . He climbed the vertical wall at an unthinkable speed considering its size . Nimble like a monkey—no, this movement is closer to that of a spider .

Without being constrained by gravity, it kept climbing up as if that was land . At that speed, it probably won’t even take 10 seconds to climb only 15 meters .

“Uu, aah… how could this… m-mister has… turned into a monster…”

Why did that strong and burly Daidaros knight turn into something that terrifying? A mere farmer like him couldn’t even imagine .

It was like a nightmare . But, considering how this place is already hell, that monster might just be fitting of it .

Monster . That’s right—a flash of light passed through his mind .

Even though he couldn’t be confident in his memory, he recalled reading it in a picture book in the village chief’s house when he was a kid . He couldn’t remember the difficult explanations . He didn’t even read it, to begin with . But in that page, beside the explanation, was a big illustration .

A lion’s head, a goat’s torso and a serpent’s tail . In that picture book, there were also illustrations of two-headed eagles with bat-like wings .

Monsters with different body parts from different animals .

Those looked exactly like the one he just saw . As if those parts were forcibly put together on top of one another .

Now that he had remembered it once, he was sure that the thing he saw was something out of that book . And that grotesque monster’s name is–

“—Ugguh?!

When he had remembered up to that point, he was thrown away by something and fell on the snow, facing up .

And when he came to his senses, it wasn’t the Galahad castle walls in front of him, it was the perfectly clear blue skies .

After blinking a few times, he understood that he had fallen down .

“Uwah, what was that suddenly… it surprised me . . ”–he was just about to say, but then, “–gabuhh! Guu, gaaha… . ”, not a single word came out .

When he opened his mouth, bright red blood came flowing out with intense coughs .

He couldn’t breathe . He felt like that time he had nearly drown in the river when he was young . But now, he was drowning in a sea of blood . That was how he felt .

“Kaa… . ha… . . ”

And then, without even realizing that his throat had been pierced by an arrow, his short life had abruptly come to an end . Death by a stray arrow, which is very common in the battlefield .
