We Are the Monsters!

Vol 1's. Chapter 14's

The Road to the City of Bandits!

♤

Walking alone under the bright sun while reading a book makes me sometimes not focus on what is in front of me.

Especially if you look at the foreign letters that I currently still feel strange with it.

Right, several hours passed since I left the village with the hellish mountain goblins who are currently my followers.

'followers?'

Yep, for now just call it that.

Then with my current goal of still wanting to become an evil monster, I also continued my journey based on the map given by Grandma Bei.

But once I still couldn't believe it after all the things I had done to the village and the goblins, why would it be such a good thing for them?

I mean look at this, even I was given a map of the world that even Aoryu himself didn't expect to see.

Likewise with the goblins, they just look so happy after I took over their king position.

'And I have killed some of them!'

But it felt in my previous world that I also experienced these things.

At that time somehow that followed me became quite a lot so I thought about making my own mafia group.

'Is what I do less evil? honestly what did they see after I did all that mess?'

But it's true, I don't really like to do things that are too evil to the weak. Instead, I feel more passionate about fighting a stronger person and he is so evil.

In short I would rather break down one's pride, their strong self-confidence, or those who feel powerful.

To the end, seeing their expressions being completely destroyed made me very happy.

By the way my current journey is to go to the nearest city from the mountains of hell, if you notice this city area is smaller than other cities on this map.

The name of the city itself was Calamont, then from the territory of his kingdom it seemed like he was part of Tronaria Kingdom.

The distance itself from where I am currently is still quite far away, even I seem to have to pass through a large valley called Endless Valley.

'On this map the valley itself looks like a very long trench.'

But reading while traveling is indeed very suitable to kill free time, although it feels a bit strange if what is read is a diary.

However, I need to explain once again that Aoryu's diary the results cover the story of the great war that has occurred in this world.

And after I read further, I felt that the trigger of the great war came from the demon race. That is because there are some irregularities written in the book.

'...But the Demon is.'

I began to imagine how the form up to the strength of that one monster race, and somehow it made my heart beat so fast.

'It's getting interesting!'

Even I feel like my face might be smiling right now, which makes me cover a part of my face.

But when I was imagining the demons, I unknowingly stumbled upon something that shocked me and made me stop.

Looking down and ascertaining what was blocking my legs, I realized that I had stepped on the corpse of a monster that was more or less like a reptile.

You could say his embodiment was like a dino in ancient times where his body was also equipped with iron armor, his skin was dark brown and scaly at a glance making it look quite sinister.

Then not far from the corpse of this lizard there is a sword stuck in the ground.

I began to humble myself in order to take a closer look at the condition of the corpse of the lizard, from which I realized that it seemed like he had died from being pierced by a very sharp object.

His green blood was exactly like the blood that the goblins had, I could see it because it was flowing out of their bodies and it left a residual stain on the ground.

It seemed like this monster had died for quite a long time when judging from its already dried up blood, not forgetting its body also seemed to have entered a phase of decay.

'It's disgusting.'

I assume that this monster lost a fight in which it killed him, but is it possible that this reptile-type monster moves alone?

I also continued my footsteps leaving the corpse of the monster until I finally found out, that it is true that my current route is a former battle field.

'No, it's a battle.'

It could be seen shortly after I left, I currently found more and more corpses of reptile monsters drooping on the ground.

But not only that, there were human corpses and corpses from horse carriages. Then there were the luggage scattered, it seemed like it was the stuff that these humans had brought.

I began to make sure that one by one the corpses were either humans or monsters, at least I hope that there will still be some who survive because I want information from him.

Yep, that information is the most important thing.

After I confirmed all the bodies, I finally arrived at the last body which was different from the others.

It was a human body with a male gender, from his face he was arguably enough to be called an adult human.

His own body does not droop on the ground like the others but rests on one of the large stones in this place, so I also use my hands to feel the veins.

'Ah! He's still alive!'

Although weak but I could feel that this man was still alive, and so I began to open my mouth to extract information from him.

"You're alive, aren't you? Tell me what happened."

His closed eyes began to open slowly and then when his eyeballs started to look at me, he smiled as if he recognized me.

"You...perfect monsters that messed up in our village right?"

Hearing that I was shocked and from there I realized that the human corpses that were here were the villagers who had chosen to leave earlier.

Then I started to assume that I could get information easily but...

Weepy!

He spat on my face that was currently facing him, where his expression also looked very satisfied with it.

'Dangerous. I forget that those who leave the village hate me so much.'

Of course because I am an experienced person in digging for information, I also let him and actually smile. But that doesn't mean I'm not upset, no. I'm honestly very angry.

Wiping my dirty face because of her, I started talking.

"Oh, wouldn't it be nice if you did that to someone you've met?"

"...You're not a fucking human.."

"Yes too. But instead of talking about me, I'd rather you tell me what's been going on here."

Because I asked him to speak, he also seemed to start to feel pain. But he was still trying to strengthen his body regardless of his motivation, I myself could hear his voice that began to struggle.

"...Kuhh. but after that you also have to tell me how you finish off the villagers who live there."

'uh? Does he think that me here killed them?'

"All right, I'll tell you."

"...Hmph, at least I can die peacefully...

'Is he stupid?'

After that the man began to tell me what had happened, more precisely what had happened to the villagers who had chosen to go to the royal capital.

From what this man had predicted, it seemed like the walking villagers were suddenly attacked by a group of reptilian monsters. This man himself mentioned that the reptile monster is a lizard-man.

The lizard-man seemed to want to loot the luggage carried by them, which in the end made the villagers have to fight them.

"...But in the end ..we lost because of the number, ..is it cuku-hukk!"

'Seems like he's already at his limit huh?

"Yes that's enough."

"...Then what about the hukk!"

"Take it easy, I still remember my promise."

"...Hmph, ..I'm grateful to take Rein away..."

This man looked quite calm after saying that, as if he was grateful for having taken this human named Rein away.

"Rein?"

"...Yes, he's my son. I hope he's with the others to arrive at the kingdom .. safely..."

'Hoo~'

"Then according to my promise, I will tell you how I killed the villagers who lived. Ahem! I didn't actually kill them."

Hearing that, his previously calm face started to stare at me blankly. For a while he began to clutch the collar of my coat and began to speak in a loud tone.

'Oy-oy, shouldn't he have no energy?'

"DON'T KIDDING! TELL ME WHAT A FUCKING MONSTER IS!"

I explained back to her while gently removing her hand from my coat.

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can go back to the village and see for yourself."

"...No. gabe... IT CAN'T BE!"

Since she still looks incredulous, I took out the map that Grandma Bei had given me. I don't know if this will make him believe anything.

"Look, even Grandma Bei gave me this. But come to think of it, maybe it's my reward because I've revived the wheat machine?"

'That's right, too! So since I have done such a good thing huh?!'

At this moment I began to realize why they were all starting to treat me so well, on the other hand this man before me seemed to be very shaken.

"...W-what are you talking about, ...Goddamnit..."

"..."

"QUICKLY KILL ME LIKE YOU KILLED THEM, SHOW ME!"

This man began to be seen talking to himself when I returned to his attention, it felt like I was seeing someone who was starting to go crazy.

"...No-no but she brought a map that only grandmother kept, there was no way she could find it. Definitely! grandma gave him, does that mean he's still alive? Are they all alive?! N-no! No way! So what are we doing?!"

"Come, but thank you for telling me that you have a child. And again what's his name? Rein?"

"?!"

"You must pay for your actions for spitting on me before, but since you are about to die, your son will bear them."

Seeing myself smiling and saying this, the height of this man's madness began to reach or even exceed his limits.

"DORNE! A COW! N-NO! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I BEG! DON'T DISTURB MY WIFE AND CHILDREN!"

"So your son is still with your wife?"

"AH! GODDAMNIT! DAMN IT! ...KILL IT! KILL ME! DO ANYTHING FOR ME BUT THEM!"

My self who had been standing up earlier started to step my foot and intended to leave this place. But unfortunately this time my legs did not stumble over the corpse but the two hands of the man who was holding my legs.

"DEPOT! ...L'M... Kindly..."

But with a little energy, my legs managed to escape from his hands.

"If you hadn't done that at first, you probably wouldn't have heard this."

"?!"

"I'll make sure your family's slowly ruined."

With a grin on my face, I sent him the greatest terror of his life before he died. He froze when he heard that.

'Levice, don't I really feel like a very evil person now?'

But please be aware that I will not do anything to his family, however they have no business with me.

Merely, I think that threats as well as terror are probably the best reply I can make to the man in his current condition.
