Volume 1 - CH 22
Act 1-22: Trampling
TL : Sponsored chapter brought to you by Allan K.
===
After receiving the first order from their master, the battamans trembled in joy. With full spirits, they ran inside the forest of the night, their first battlefield. Their master had ordered them to cause a disturbance in their enemy’s ranks, but only one ending awaited the fools who dared to block their great master’s path. No matter how strong their opponent was, the battamans would make sure to send those imbeciles to the yellow springs in the underworld. It was the proof of their loyalty to their supreme ruler*. [TL: “至上の御方,” which I translated as supreme ruler since it is closer to a religious context. Ank Kai’s subordinate did treated their master like god despite being god themselves]
With delight and determination, the battamans leaped between the trees and the ground at a rapid pace while letting out delightful war cries.
The black panther unit stationed on the west side of Silke great forest.
「So boring! Why do they need to dispatch our summoner unit, the strongest unit in the empire, just to catch a mere woman?」
「Can’t be helped. Even if you say a mere woman, she’s the only woman in this world who can summon the hero.」
「Hero, huh. Isn’t that just an exaggerated title? Enzu-sama is stronger than any hero.」
「I think the same, but of course, the heroes are supposed to be some sort of a trump card against the Demon King, right? They would show their greatest potential against the demon king, after all. 」
「So? What merit can we get from this?」
「Well, first we can hear more about hero summoning from her, then we can do whatever we want to her.」
「Seriously! Whatever we want? I mean, is it okay for us to fu*k her too?」
「Yup. Maybe! Well, I’m more curious about researching how she can summon a hero from another world though.」
「That’s the best! Then we aren’t wasting our time in coming this far and infiltrating the kingdom. She will become your lab-rat in the day and work her ass off as our mistress at night.」
「Yeah.」
A sadistic smile appeared on the blond young man’s face when he thought about the prospect of having a new s*x slave.
「I also want to f*ck a princess at least once!」
As the black-haired man with a crop cut said those lustful words, a green shadow passed by their side.
「Eh, what happened, to your face?」
The blond young man saw the face of the black-haired man with a crop cut slide off.
「No, it’s yo―」
And that was the end of them. Beautifully sliced off, their lifeless bodies fell.
―Silke Great Forest, the HQ of the encirclement operation of the summoner unit.
「W-WHAT IN THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE!?」
The commander of the summoner unit hysterically shouted upon seeing the abnormal incidents that kept happening one after another.
They were seeing green shadows moving around, and each time they spotted one, the black panthers that were supposed to protect them would get diced, explode, and have their blood and entrails spray around. The ogre that was supposed to play a vital role in this operation couldn’t do anything as well as its head exploded.
「Cover me! I’m gonna summon a salamander!」
Despite the commander’s screams, none of his subordinates responded. When he turned his eyes around to see his surroundings, his subordinates had disappeared.
「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!?」
He tried to leave the nightmarish place in a hurry while screaming like a madman. However, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his line of sight. It cracked like a broken piece of glass.
「Eh?」
The commander’s body exploded into pieces of meat as his last, desperate scream echoed in the place.
―East side of Silke Great Forest – Summoner unit: Ogre division.
「We’ve lost all contact with the HQ.」
「Those bastards from the kingdom must’ve betrayed us! Those fu*kers! I’ll take over the command!」
The bald man with a stubble beard, Saim, yelled. He kicked the ground in fury as blue veins popped on his forehead.
In the summoner unit, Saim was the second person who could summon a powerful demon beast other than Enzu. Properly speaking, Saim should’ve been the officer in charge of this operation. However, thanks to his poor behavior, he could never become anything beyond the captain of a small unit.
「Whatever! The fu*ker who caused this blunder will surely fall from grace. Which means that I’ll be the next Commander.」
The tips of his lips formed an ugly smile/
「What shall we do? At this rate we—」
Saim’s subordinate, a blond man, asked with a stiff expression.
「HAH! As if I’m gonna let them look down on us! Oi, Troll!」
When Saim turned around, a bald giant appeared from the darkness of the forest.
Its skin was red, and its body muscular. The giant’s right hand held a giant metal club.
『I-I-Is it working timeee?』
When the troll’s thick and heavy voice rang out, the soldiers in its vicinity frowned.
「Yeah, eat those three mana stones. And then, kill those fu*kers who dare to backstab us!」
Saim made a contract with the troll. Summoners could use their summoning magic in two ways.
The first was a temporary summon. Since this magic was treated as a summon, it had some restrictions; the user was unable to summon a strong creature.
The second way was a 【Spiritual Contract】. The summoner could summon beings that already existed in this world and form a contract with them while paying a suitable price. The user needed to offer an equivalent price to use the power of the summoned being. Powerful creatures could be summoned using this method. One needed a special gift to use this 【Spiritual Contract】.
Saim had used the latter method just now. He had summoned and ordered the Troll to do his bidding by offering an equivalent price.
「W-wait a minute. Commander, THAT’S―」
Saim’s pale, young subordinate tried to raise an objection.
「Then, starting from you.」
However, Saim pointed his finger at him. Suddenly, the pale young man dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes.
『Deliziouus.』
The troll made an entranced face as if it were satisfied. However, it casually picked the body of the pale young man and…
『Meat is delizious too.』
It ate the pale young man.
「Uuh… 」
「HIIIII!?」
When they witnessed this gory scene, the members of the unit shrunk back.
「You and you.」
Saim pointed at the soldiers on his right and left, and the soldiers fell at once as if something had drained their strength.
While the members of Saim’s unit trembled in fear…
「WHAT ARE YE WAItING FOR! SUMMON THE OGRE NOW!」
Hearing the order from their new commander, the subordinates prepared to summon the ogre.
「OI, what are you waiting for! Finish your meal quickly and do your job!」
Saim shouted at the troll.
『Ogay! I will wooog.』
The troll threw the half-eaten corpse of the pale young man.
「C-COMMANDER!」
Suddenly, one of the members of the unit frantically screamed with a ghastly face as he pointed at the depths of the forest.
「Uhm? What the hell is that?」
Saim was also shocked. His reaction was only natural since he had seen the head of a locust in the moonlight that shone through between the gap of the trees in the dense forest.
「S-SURROUND IT!」
Maybe because of the fear, the summoners ordered the ogre to surround the battaman.
「This guy is the trump card of the kingdom’s summoner, huh? Doesn’t seem that strong to me. Good grief! I wasted a contract with a troll for nothing. Still, this monster should be useful to act as a meat wall.」
Maybe because he had already lost interest in this matter due to how weak the opponent seemed to be, Saim sat on the nearby stump.
「Kill ’em quickly.」
He ordered his subordinates in a disinterested voice.
Suddenly, the battaman lowered its center of gravity, pulled back its right arm, and pushed forward its left arm.
「KUHAHAHA! Look. This locust is trying to use martial arts!」
When Saim saw that martial stance, he laughed his ass off and rolled around while holding his side.
When his subordinates saw that their superior could still laugh in such a carefree manner, they also relaxed their vigilance.
「OGRE, kill that locust!」
The ogre followed the order of the summoner unit, moved forward, and swung its log-like fist toward the battaman.
The battaman effortlessly parried the ogre’s explosive right fist with its left hand. Then, it approached the ogre as if it were just taking a walk. When it reached the ogre, it punched into the ogre’s abdomen with its right fist.
The punch sent the ogre’s upper body flying as if it were just a piece of twig; accompanied with it was the sound of the ogre’s spine breaking and a spray of blood and meat.
「Eh?」
「Eh？」
The members of the summoner unit turned around and saw this scene with dumbfounded expressions. Then, the battaman blurred in front of their eyes, and the next moment―
Numerous lines appeared on the bodies of the summoners, who had summoned the ogre, and the ogre that had surrounded the battaman. Then, all of them crumbled as if they were nothing more than pieces of meat.
「Eh!?」
Seeing that, Saim leaped off from the stump and—
「TROLL! Kill that fu*ker!」
He quickly ordered the troll.
『Understood.』
The troll approached the battaman, who stood amidst the pool of blood and meat, raised the giant metal club in its hand, and swung down.
『Ergh?』
The troll tilted its head with a puzzled expression. The battaman was holding the troll’s right arm that was supposed to swing down a moment ago. The battaman’s figure vanished again, and the body of the troll exploded into pieces, sending a rain of blood and fine meat in the area.
「Are you… kidding me?」
Saim couldn’t believe the reality that had happened in front of him. He fell on his rear as he retreated, only for his back to hit something like a wall.
「What the― HeIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!?」
When he turned around to see what his back had just collided into, he saw that several battamans surrounding him.
「A… a…」
Saim’s agonizing cries echoed in the night forest as despair hit his heart.
We’re gonna trample you down to fulfill the wish of our master!
We’re gonna trample you down to show our loyalty to our master!
We’re gonna trample you down! We’re gonna eradicate everything that dares to point their blade at our master till none of them is left!
The battamans one-sidedly, in the most overwhelming way, committed a massacre in the night forest, all to open a path for their master.
