A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 113 (Part 2)

That’s how Kaiyan ended up plummeting rapidly after the last random skill he trusted didn’t yield any flight-related skills.

“Heh heh… You insect-like creature! Because of that thing, I’ll have to open the Havemime passage myself.”

Canien looked at the plummeting Kaiyan, his body trembling as if in fear.

“Thanks to you, I dealt with that thing… but I used too much power.”

Canien lowered his head, and as he looked down, black liquid was oozing out of his completely battered body. Among the dozens of tentacles he originally had, there were only one or two intact.

Moreover, he had used more than half of the power he had painstakingly regained to open the passage, leaving him depleted of most of his strength.

“Ugh… lost power like this can easily be replenished by devouring humans.”

Canien glanced in the direction where the humans who had escaped from Lumbanium Castle were fleeing.

Canien had already unsealed himself and obtained the vessel for storing energy, so if he were to devour humans, especially those with mana, he could easily fill up the lost power, as he claimed.

“Then the fleeing humans…”

Just as Canien was about to move using his remaining two intact tentacles…

Woong!

A magic circle that emitted light drew itself in the place where the entrance was completely closed off, and it spat out two people.

One of them was a person wearing a sparkling gold robe, and the other was a person wearing a dark robe as black as coal, carrying a giant greatsword on their back.

The person with the greatsword began to take off the cover over their face as they looked at Canien.

“How is it possible that an ancient monster like you is still alive on the Eunasia Continent?”

A voice so heavy that just hearing it made one’s skin tremble.

Canien, who heard the faint voice from a distance, trembled in fear, despite his giant figure, and was consumed by fear.

“L-Lumbanium! How are you here?! How has a human survived for over 200 years?!”

“Do you know me? Then you must be the one who was here 200 years ago. I should have taken care of you cleanly back then. It’s my mistake.”

The name that came out of Canien’s mouth was Lumbanium. The identity of the brown-haired man carrying the greatsword on his back was none other than Viscount Lumbanium, who had established the Lumbanium Territory on this land 200 years ago. He is known to have died a long time ago.

His estimated age is a whopping 250 years. Truly far beyond the age at which a human can live.

“Hmm… but why are you in that state? Barian, who arrived here before us?”

Lumbanium, with a fear-stricken Canien trembling, turned his head to the person in the robe beside him. The person in the robe took off their gold robe and lowered their head towards Lumbanium.

The man they were dealing with claimed to be a master from the Mareon Empire, but they had already established contact with the Mareon Imperial Palace before arriving here. The response from there had been clear: they wouldn’t concern themselves with this matter.

“Is that so? Then who on earth turned that guy into such a mess? Did someone we don’t know have a run-in with an ancient monster? It seems like there might be an issue with the information department.”

The Elder’s (Lumbanium) words caused Barian, who managed the information department responsible for gathering information in the organization, to clench his teeth.

In the end, it wasn’t Barian who made the mistake, but he would be the one suffering for it. Today’s work would be added to the debt he owed.

“Ahem… Elder Lumbanium, please don’t kill that guy. We need to subdue him and find out who did this.”

“Don’t kill him? I’ve been through all this trouble because someone else messed up. I guess today’s work will be added to the debt.”

“…Alright.”

As Lumbanium drew the large sword hanging on his back with one hand, Canien, despite his huge size, nervously raised his two intact tentacles.

This was clearly the image of a predator targeting prey and a prey resisting for survival.

“Are you going to resist me? Well, that’s…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lumbanium’s figure became blurry and disappeared.

Swoosh…

“Not bad.”

He reappeared right in front of Canien.

In a mere second, he covered a distance of over 200 meters. It was a speed that would make anyone suspect the use of teleportation magic.

“Hehe… Monster! Die!”

Canien, who had been taken aback and fallen backward in surprise, swung the two tentacles he had raised towards Lumbanium. Lumbanium, who was being approached in a flash, looked at the flying tentacles with a cold gaze.

“Ugh! Die, monster!”

Canien, who had managed to move his tentacles to within inches of Lumbanium, stopped short.

“Hmm, I did say not to kill him. This won’t do.”

Even though the enormous tentacles were about to strike him, Lumbanium, showing no signs of panic, placed both swords on his back again.

Kwaaaah!

The enormous tentacles hit him directly, but instead of losing his balance, Lumbanium stood there, and the ground beneath him shattered into pieces.

Even if he were an Aura Master, being hit like this would have shattered his entire body.

“Hehehe! Lumbanium wasn’t it? Human beings can’t survive for such a long time!”

Canien finally laughed and raised the tentacles that had struck the ground. However…

“…Gone?”

Even if his body had been shattered to pieces, there should have been traces of blood on the tentacles and the ground. Canien felt something was amiss and tried to move away.

“…Almost wanted to give you a good beating, but… these are expensive clothes. Ugh!”

A heavy voice came from behind Canien.

Lumbanium had appeared there without them noticing, and instead of his sword, he had his fist extended backward.

“That should be enough, right? Crush!”
