I Became a Wendigo in a Fantasy World

84 – Episode 84

Robert’s men felt like they were flying to the sky after eating quality food for the first time in a long time.

The discomfort of becoming a witch’s follower has long since disappeared as the feeling of satiety has been suppressed.

What does it matter when you can fill your stomach with other people’s things?

Robert was also satisfied. The thin porridge and hard bread that only vagabonds ate were terrible for his taste, which had become more refined while he was a witch’s lover.

And when your stomach is full, you tend to feel empty.

One of Robert’s men looked at the village and approached Robert.

“Captain. Looking at the way the village guys served food, it looks like they were really scared of the leader, right?”

“hehehe. Thanks to my eloquence. “How can these country bastards beat my speaking skills while negotiating around the imperial city?”

It was an overt flattery, but Robert was very satisfied and praised himself.

The only thing I tried was to threaten immature merchants with the power of a witch, and my words were only the best.

Naturally, his subordinates did not believe Robert’s bluff. Other than the fact that he had a handsome face and a manly voice, Robert didn’t have much to excel at.

However, it was a constant fact that Robert was currently the center of the group.

The subordinate, who had been flattering her by rubbing his palm like a treacherous confidant, threw a bait to Robert with a sinister look in his eyes.

“I’ve filled my stomach well, but shouldn’t I drain some water?”

“That… “That sounds pretty good.”

Robert knew right away what the traitor wanted through the treacherous look in his eyes.

Robert also couldn’t enjoy it because he became a fugitive….

‘If a village guy comes by, it might be a good idea to threaten him.’

Robert and his men’s thoughts were truly simple.

He mistakenly thought that since they were cowards who gave him food just by saying he was a follower, he could rip off a woman if he threatened them well.

Robert pretended to think for a moment and then spoke to the traitor.

“Hmm, but I think it’s really unseemly to say something like that even though I’m the leader.”

“Oh my. It goes without saying! “I will do my best to avoid harming you, Captain!”

As the traitor patted his small chest and assured, Robert nodded his head.

After a while, someone appeared in the village with the warrior we saw before….

“Um, is that a wolf? “It’s too big for a wolf.”

“Hmph. What’s so great about wolves? “A wolf can be caught with just one stick.”

“f*ck. Are wolves important? “The guy on top of it is important.”

Robert’s men looked at the wolf rider who appeared with the warrior and murmured.

The wolf looked at them and growled. A terrible stench bothered my nose.

“Crumbling.”

“Uh-huh, calm down. Calm. “You still don’t know if they are people you can kill.”

Robert looked at the Wolf Rider and trembled.

The wolf rider stroked the wolf’s neck to calm it down, but the look in its eyes was anything but.

The look in his eyes, filled with the scent of blood, seemed like he could cut off his head at any time.

‘f*ck. ‘Why are you bastards here?’

Why are there people here who raise horses in the eastern plains, which are less popular than the northern ones?

Tanned leather armor, two swords and a bow on his belt, and even a spear on his shoulder.

Even riding on a huge wolf and looking down at it, it couldn’t have been that scary.

Robert felt his body, which had been heated just a moment ago, turn cold.

My instincts warned me that I should not look the wrong way to the guy in front of me because of my lust and nudity.

… But not everyone was aware.

“These bastards… They don’t know who we are! “We follow the forest witch-“

‘This idiot!’

The treacherous man who had been stimulating Robert’s lust, perhaps out of his mind due to s*xual desire, spat and pointed at the warriors.

The warrior belonging to the village looked at the traitor as if he were pitiful.

Because he was oblivious to begin with, he probably accepted the food as good, but I never thought he would be so oblivious.

When the rest of the warriors did not move in bewilderment, Gansinbae shouted confidently, probably because he thought he had seized the momentum.

“If you understand, bite that damn bastard right away!”

“I wanted to see how far I could go, but I never imagined I would make it to the end.”

“What?”

The wolf rider admired his opponent’s wit, adjusted his spear, and stabbed him in the chest.

The traitor could not react to the clean, uncomplicated blow, and his heart was pierced and he collapsed.

Robert watched without uttering a word.

If he even protested, let alone attacked, the spear might be aimed at his neck, so what could he do?

The wolf rider retrieved his spear and looked around.

Even though a colleague died, no one got angry or attacked.

‘I can’t believe the spirits are having a hard time because of these guys.’

As the rider’s eyes filled with sorrow, the self-proclaimed followers stared at the ground.

I didn’t know that if we made eye contact, I might be the next person to be pierced by a spear.

The wolf rider knocked on the wolf’s neck. It was a sign that it was okay for him to eat the corpse.

The wolf rider warned Robert while the wolves were eating the corpse.

“You are the ones who have not yet been officially recognized by Jeong, or rather, by the Witch of the Forest. How dare those guys use his name to say sh*t?”

“… “My subordinate seems very excited to have had a hearty meal for the first time in a long time.”

Robert calmed his pounding heart and passed the blame to the dead traitor.

There was no sense of protest for the guy who couldn’t overcome his greed and went on a rampage.

The wolf rider, who had been glaring at Robert for a long time, snorted and retreated as the wolf ate the corpse.

“Anyway, while you follow my guidance, don’t even think about causing an accident. “If I sense anything strange, I will immediately make you wolf food.”

As the wolf glared at him, spitting blood mixed with blood, Robert took a step back without realizing it.

The rider laughed at the sight and turned his back. Robert couldn’t bear his shame and clenched his fists.

These guys who couldn’t even raise their heads to themselves until not long ago dare!

‘Wait just a moment. If you take the seat next to the witch, I will definitely punish you.’

Did he not think of taking revenge with his own strength until the very end?

Robert followed the rider into the forest, dreaming of a future that did not exist.

* · * *

Robert’s resolve lost strength as he went deeper into the forest.

They realized that there were quite a few people other than themselves who had come to visit after hearing rumors of a witch.

The riders began to join one by one, and the followers who followed them.

At first, the number of followers was greater than expected, but now it has easily exceeded a hundred.

“Brother. “Isn’t this bigger than you think?”

“This would only be possible if you could at least approach a lover, a lover, and a witch.”

The subordinates’ suspicions were quite accurate.

As the power grew, there was no way that great opportunities would come to the miscreants who naturally flowed in.

If a witch has an idea, wouldn’t she give honor to a talented guy rather than an ugly guy?

Naturally, the question was raised in the minds of subordinates: ‘Does Robert have the ability?’…

“…… “

Of course, Robert did not have the confidence to do so.

In the first place, the reason I became the witch’s lover was not because of my ability, but because of my eloquence and good looks. Other than that, Robert was nothing more than a thief who had killed a few people.

Robert hurried his steps, avoiding the stinging glances of his men. The good news was that the destination was not far away.

“Arrived. “Please wait at the bottom of the cliff over there.”

“!”

Robert could not help but be surprised by the number of followers gathered at the bottom of the cliff.

I thought there were enough people who came with me now, but I didn’t know there were so many people who had the same thoughts.

‘Witch, where is the witch?’

Robert moved his eyes around, looking for a woman who could be his friend. In order to gain the witch’s favor, he had to first get to know her.

There were quite a few women among the followers, but of course there were no witches.

Robert’s eyes naturally looked towards the top of the cliff.

“Ha, carrying a spirit around with you… Was it real?”

Is that what a beast in human form looks like?

A giant wearing a deer skull, with a huge body and sharp claws, was looking down at them from the cliff.

As Robert’s eyes slowly turned to the woman on the giant’s shoulder, he sighed involuntarily.

The desire to get my pure white skin and hair dirty arose.

The empty gaze, as if looking down at a small object, combined with the red eyes, stimulated the desire to conquer.

Even if it wasn’t Robert, the followers here instinctively sensed her identity.

That she was the forest witch they were looking for.

* · * *

The followers were looking at the forest witch’s beautiful beauty and maddening eyes to see the qualities of a ruler…

“… “Can’t we just come down?”

Skadi asked the Wendigo while keeping her expression cool.

The Wendigo looked at her puzzled and spoke to her.

“Why, do you think it’s good enough acting?”

In the Wendigo’s eyes, Skadi’s performance was perfect.

Right now, in the noise coming from the bottom of the cliff, except for the obscene remarks, everything about Skadi is cold and harsh, but warm to my man…

‘When do these bastards say things like this when they are scared of being witches?’

… Anyway, excluding the story related to her appearance, she recognized Skadi as a mysterious heroine.

However, Skadi seemed to have different thoughts and she sighed.

“That’s because I’m worried that people might say that I dominate Wendigo or that I subjugated her.”

She didn’t feel more at ease with the Wendigo than before, but that didn’t mean Skadi’s loyalty had faded.

Thanks to the time she spent by her side, her feelings for the Wendigo were growing stronger day by day.

Because she was such a Skadi, she really wanted to avoid being the subject of rumors slandering the Wendigo.

What happened to her just now was, in a way, her own fault!

“hehehehe, there was a time when I wanted to be with you even a little more, so I pretended to be sick, but then…”

“Caaah!!! “Well, you decided to forget about that!”

As the Wendigo made a sly joke, Skadi forgot that she was acting and screamed.

Anyway, it was quite humiliating for a grown girl to not be able to overcome her momentary greed and cheat.

Skadi tried to come up with an excuse, but…

“Shh, there might be suspicion from below, so I need to focus on my acting.”

“… “You’re doing it too much.”

As the Wendigo spoke, pointing to the bottom of the cliff, Skadi pouted her lips and focused on her performance again.

“Spirit! Skadi! “It looks like they’ve all gathered together!”

The last rider to arrive climbed the cliff and reported the situation.

The wendigo nodded her head. The area below the cliff was already full of people.

Some of them are obscured by trees and cannot be seen. Could it be that they are not all of them?

‘… Otherwise, Skadi will have no choice but to up her game.’

Naturally ignoring the thought that she would have screamed if Skadi had heard, the Wendigo gently shook her shoulder to signal to Skadi.

Receiving her signal, Skadi turned her head widely, looking down her cliff.

People trembled with fear at the cold eyes that seemed to look down on them as useless creatures.

She frowned her eyes in disappointment and whispered to the wendigo.

“Do you think it’s enough?”

“Then we can get started.”

The Wendigo climbed to the edge of her cliff and lifted her hands, moving her mysteries. Then she heard a huge rumble and the trees in the forest began to move.

“What, what! What’s the matter!”

“The forest is moving!”

The followers were frightened by the phenomenon they had encountered for the first time in their lives and headed toward the cliff.

Those who walk slowly, those who fell due to vibration or being pushed by others, or those who were dazed.

Those people were swept away by the trees, turning into handfuls of blood and becoming part of the forest.

The followers stared blankly at the wall of trees that confined them.

“Hey, what is that?”

“The Forest Witch is disappointed in your incompetence.”

“!”

The followers looked up at the top of the cliff as the Wendigo’s voice pounded in their ears like thunder.

The Wendigo looked down at them and mocked them.

“The Forest Witch has already completely taken control of this forest. Even the northernmost tribes bowed their heads and pledged their loyalty. “Why on earth does she need trash like you?”

The followers trembled with anger, but no one spoke. You don’t have to be a fool to know that if you speak wrong here, you’ll die.

The pressure of knowing that their lives were at stake weighed on their heads.

“Still, there are no people who refute whether they know the topic. I feel like I want to use you as fertilizer for the forest right now, but… ”

The Wendigo moved her head to look at her Skadi and then glared at her followers.

“The witch of the forest decided to harvest the useful ones among you.”

“Well, those words…” Whoa!?”

“?”

Before the Wendigo could answer her question, she was startled when her questioner was killed with a sword stuck in her back.

She was planning on saying, ‘Kill each other’ from here on out…

“He’s like a two-headed guy. Can’t you tell by looking at the atmosphere? “You’re saying that from now on, you’ll fight until the day you die and only take those who survive!”

“Damn it, everyone unite! “The one chosen by the witch is our Sharp Wind Brotherhood!”

“Uh… Yes, fight and kill each other.”

The Wendigo looked at the guys who started the fight before she could even finish her sentence, and she was taken aback.

She was planning to find those who were particularly strong or suspicious and check to see if they had an ulterior motive, but she ended up fighting them on her own.

‘I don’t know if my judgment of the situation is good or bad.’

“Witch of the forest!!!”

“Huh?”

Now, just as I was carefully examining the fighting guys and trying to identify the suspicious one, a red-haired man desperately called out to Skadi.

Just listening to the voice was mournful, as if an ex-lover had come to visit.

Even Skadi, who was not interested in his followers, could not overcome his curiosity and looked down the cliff, and there he saw the red head, no, Robert, the leader of the Red Tree Brotherhood, looking up at the cliff.

“You look quite handsome. “It smells awful, though.”

“Is that so? I’m fine… “

When told that he was handsome, Skadi tilted his head.

He looked fine, but he had no muscles in his arms and legs, and he couldn’t feel any weight.

“Aren’t you just borrowing money to save me…?” “

“I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you! Although my abilities are limited and I am not strong, please watch over me. And when I die, I’ll know that there was a man who loved you… “

Robert used the same method he used to capture the witch’s love.

It was a blatant confession of love, a desperate willingness to sacrifice one’s life, and a cringe-worthy comment that women loved…

Her own face and wonderful voice together will definitely attract the attention of a witch!

“That crazy guy!”

Robert’s emotional confession of love succeeded in attracting Skadi’s attention.

However, it was not the look of curiosity and love that Robert wanted… The gaze was shiny with shame and murderous intent.

Skadi could not hold back her anger and manipulated her mysticism to create her ice spear.

She hurled her ice spear like a thunderbolt.

The sharp spear that even an experienced warrior could not avoid pierced Robert’s mouth. It was a vain end for a thief who gained notoriety as a witch’s lover.

Skadi gritted her teeth and glared at her corpse, as if her anger had not cooled even after killing Robert.

“@#$@^%#^#$%!!!”

‘Hmm, I thought Skadi would swear like that too.’

The Wendigo could understand her anger.

How humiliating must it be for her trashy brat to confess to her in front of dozens of people?

‘Why should I show such shame in front of Wendigo!’

The reality was a little different, though.

Still, Robert’s death was a great stimulus to his followers.

Fear that if I don’t show my good side here, I might be killed by the witch of the forest.

As the fear seeped in, followers who had been paying attention also began to actively participate in the battle.

… Of course, Skadi would not have wanted this situation.
