How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 169

188. ‘Did you get rid of it?’ They always come back if you say that. (7)

My mind was ablaze with anger, but I also needed to assess the situation calmly.

[……Looks like I’ve moved quite far?]

It was frustrating, but even he had no way of knowing where this was.

Originally, Klenil was a dragon that lived in the Demon Realm.

A descendant of dragons who migrated to the Demon Realm from distant ancestors… about 20,000 years ago.

In the familiar Demon Realm, he knew where every single blade of grass grew.

But on the surface, even he couldn’t know the way at once.

[Hmph… If I fly around randomly, I’ll find a human or two.]

Then I’ll trample them and interrogate them.

I’ll burn and trample them until they talk.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if anticipating that joy.

[The surface is fun.]

The Demon Realm was a truly frustrating place.

It’s not about complaining about the harsh environment.

Nor is it about being wary of those terrifying Demon Lords.

That place is stagnant.

It’s taken for granted that you die when you meet someone stronger, and the weak don’t even resist.

More than anything, it’s a world with little time left.

On the other hand, what about the surface?

Just a moment ago, those fearless humans dared to easily wound his scales and even deceive him like this.

[……I think I understand a little why those guys want the surface so much.]

Feeling a slight sense of kinship with why the demons were so desperate for summoning contracts, Klenil decided to take refuge somewhere first.

This land is so cold.

Dragons are, after all, cold-blooded animals. It’s possible to maintain body temperature with magic, but cold is cold.

In addition, the mana in this land is strangely cold.

It didn’t just seem like the climate was cold.

With each breath, the mana circulating in his body became sluggish.

It was clearly a bizarre phenomenon.

[Is the earth itself engraved with a curse? How strange…….]

If a human who knew the situation on the surface well, they would have answered that this place was one of the world’s top ten Demon Realms, a cursed land, but there was no way for that dragon to know that.

That’s why he’s floating so leisurely.

The dragon doesn’t know.

Why this place is called a Demon Realm.

It’s not just because it’s frozen all year round, nor is it because it’s cursed.

It’s because of the existence of a certain human who resides there.

Because they fear the human who dominates that place.

“Oh my? What could it be? I thought the wind was blowing strangely today. I didn’t expect to have a guest.”

A human voice, a woman’s voice, was heard from somewhere.

“If a guest has come, I must greet them in person. Hehehe.”

It was quite a leisurely sound that didn’t suit this cold.

Klenil moved his head.

Humans live in this land?

It was strange, but it was good.

First, find that human and ask for directions.

[You! Show yourself…….]

The moment he was about to speak to put strength into his voice and draw out the human.

Suddenly, his vision tilted to the side and he fell forward.

[……Heok?!]

That’s strange. Why did I suddenly fall?

Is it because of the cold after all?

It was so bizarre that it took him a little longer to realize the reason.

A strange pair of things were falling in front of his eyes.

[……Wings……?]

Wings he’s seen a lot somewhere.

Soon, the dragon felt like his mind was freezing over.

Aren’t those his own wings?

For some reason, the wings and both of his legs were all lying separately.

But there’s no pain. No blood flows.

That’s why he was late to notice.

More than anything, it doesn’t feel real.

“Don’t worry, lizard… I didn’t actually cut them off.”

The woman’s presence suddenly appeared with a gentle voice.

She didn’t just get closer, she suddenly appeared in front of him without a sound.

A young woman with snow-white hair and a snow-white dress fluttering.

She landed lightly on the snowfield and spoke to Klenil, who was rolling around pathetically.

“I’m Perishianils Locke Serelest.”

[……What?]

“You can just call me Perishianils or Perishia, but everyone calls me that.”

He didn’t ask for her name.

Klenil growled as if in anger.

[Did you do this?]

“If you ran away as you were, it would be troublesome, right? So I just took them off a little. Hehehe. It doesn’t hurt much, does it? Ah, the snowfield might be a little cold? Should I light a fire for you?”

[……What a ridiculous joke.]

As if putting on a petty pretense, Klenil showed his intention to threaten.

However, the woman who called herself Perishia tilted her head as if she thought it was like a stray cat raising its fur, as if she was clearly mocking him with a smile.

Rather, she seemed to think he was cute.

Klenil, who would normally go crazy and run wild as soon as he heard such an insult, couldn’t react easily because he was slowly understanding what that woman had done.

[That human is…… No, is that even a human?]

High-level spatial interference.

The reason why the wings and legs were separated was simply because the space itself of those body parts was temporarily disconnected.

But it’s not just disconnected.

The senses are still connected.

It moves as much as you want.

It means that it not only cut off the space, but also distorted it and separated it separately.

Maintaining it without touching a single cell or nerve.

……Monster.

What flashed through his mind was the same feeling he had when he encountered the Demon Lords in the Demon Realm.

[……Kuaaaaaaa!]

Klenil roared as if half out of his mind and spewed out his breath.

That heat engulfed her and blew away the entire surrounding area.

Lulling her into complacency and launching a powerful strike by surprise.

For the current Klenil, it was truly a humiliating act.

But now he didn’t have the luxury to feel humiliated by it.

He already instinctively believed.

That human wouldn’t die from that.

Driven only by animalistic instincts, he tried to escape by crawling with his remaining legs.

Pang!

The sound of something bursting weakly echoed in the air, and Klenil was shattered into pieces, and the fragments fell to the floor.

The space around him, including him, shattered and burst as if it were breaking.

There was no time to scream.

“Oh my? I didn’t mean to shatter you… I didn’t know you were so fragile.”

She slurred her words as if she had made a mistake and walked out without a care.

The dragon’s breath evaporated the area without leaving a single speck, yet it didn’t even burn the hem of a single human’s dress.

“Haa… What a violent lizard. Well… I guess I have no choice but to get rid of you after all.”

She tilted her head and waved her hand lightly.

“I don’t need things like that in my land.”

With that alone, the dragon’s flesh, which had been shattered and scattered, disappeared without leaving a trace of blood.

“Because it’s dirty.”

Only pure white snow remained on this land again.

“A pure white world is so good. A worthless and cold world where even I can’t be seen. It’s truly beautiful. Don’t you think so?”

She looked around at the world where only pure white snow could be seen and smiled with satisfaction.

“Why was a dragon wandering around? How strange?”

She felt curious about the existence of the dragon that had appeared by skipping through space, but she had already killed it, so what could she do?

“Hmm. Well, maybe it’s not that strange?”

Well, it’s not that difficult for a dragon to use space-based magic.

Hundreds of years ago, dozens of lizards who couldn’t control their bloodlust had heard rumors and attacked, so it would be a similar context.

She soon lost interest in the existence of the dragon as if it were boring, turned her body lightly, and disappeared.

* * *

After blowing that nasty lizard to a Demon Realm from which it could never return.

I finally took a breath after lying down on my back.

This should solve it.

However, unlike me, Sylvester and Alnix are forcibly leading their tired bodies and guarding without even sitting down.

“Aileen, where did you blow that dragon away to just now?”

Alnix asks nervously.

Even if you don’t guard so much, you won’t be able to come back.

I think they’re being treated as intruders and being cut into small pieces by now.

But unlike me, who knows that, they don’t have a reason to believe that they’ve gotten rid of it.

“I think you can rest assured because it’s a land where a mere dragon can never return.”

“That land that looked chilly at first glance? At least it’s not around here, right?”

“Mr. Alnix, you’ve heard of it by name. One of the top 10 Demon Realms. White Hell.”

“……Huh? Really? Is it really there?”

He was genuinely surprised to hear that.

“Demon Realm? Where is that? I’ve never heard of it.”

On the other hand, Sylvester looks puzzled.

He still lacks geographical information about this place.

Of course, he wouldn’t know where it is.

“Ah…… So there’s a dangerous place roughly. That whatchamacallit…… Should I say it’s very cold? It’s a really dangerous place.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Ugh…… So it’s very dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

“It’s terribly cold. Do you understand?”

“……I don’t know.”

Alnix scratched the back of his head and barely explained, but it wouldn’t be helpful.

More than that, that guy doesn’t even know properly!

I had no choice but to explain.

“If you go north from here to the end of the continent, there’s an area where it snows all year round. That’s what I’m talking about.”

“Snow? That’s not very dangerous, is it?”

“The land and mana itself are frozen all year round. ……Well, that’s all I know. No living thing can live there. That’s all you need to know.”

I don’t give any more information.

It’s too early, and it would be unnatural for me to explain the ruler of that place.

“Anyway, he can’t come back with that.”

I said that with conviction.

They both showed a slightly puzzled look, but soon accepted it and released their vigilance.

If it was a creature like a dragon, it would have already returned a long time ago even if it was sent far away, but they must have been somewhat relieved to see that it was quiet.

“More than that, let’s rest a little. Let’s rest…… You guys are already at your limit, right?”

I took out the potions for them and threw them away.

Seeing them take the thrown potions and sit down silently to rest, they must be tired too.

I can leave the surrounding guard to them as it is.

In the meantime, I decided to check the information to confirm with the current incident.

Is it because the events of volume 23 themselves will not happen?

Does influence occur according to the difficulty if you attack the events that will happen in advance?

However, I wasn’t comfortable until the end.

‘More than anything, the existence of that strange dry twig-like guy is bothering me.’

I recalled the impression of the monster that intervened as if trying to restore it when destroying the demon’s summoning circle.

That guy seemed to be trying to turn the flow back even by force, right?

However, it was strange that he retreated surprisingly easily when a strange dragon was summoned due to my intervention.

‘He seems obsessed, but he gives up easily…… What is his identity?’

I checked the past records while going back through the messages, but no information came up when he appeared.

……As if there was no need to tell.

“Come to think of it, what was that bizarre guy who tried to screw us over in the end? Is that guy also a demon?”

Alnix asked Sylvester about him, wondering if he had any questions.

“……I don’t know.”

Sylvester didn’t seem to have any idea either.

I didn’t expect it either.

Because that monster doesn’t appear in the original.

In short, it means that Sylvester has no contact with that guy at all.

“No…… I think I’ve seen something similar.”

That was unexpected.

I didn’t know.

Sylvester knows that?
