Chapter 46 - How dare these garbage-like things

Even though she made a scary assumption, something didn’t feel real. However, the monster standing in front of Lena at that time noticed that Lena had woken up, so it lowered its body and put its face in front of Lena’s.

“Kyaaaaaaa!”

At that moment, she couldn’t help but scream, even though her mind was not clear. The swollen eyes with a yellow glow, and the large mouth that couldn’t hide all the sharp teeth were all terrifying.

Lena raised her torso and pressed it against the damp, cold stone wall. Then her body began to tremble. The appearance of the monster, confirmed by her awakened mind, was even more ghastly. The jagged horns protruding from the top of the head along the back, as well as the purplish, rough skin that looked like bruises was disgusting.

And with her screams the whole group of Sevcheks knew she had woken up. They looked curiously around Lena, who trembled against the wall, and then murmured strangely amongst themselves. The herd was a total of four. But among them, the one wearing a necklace with a lump of purple jewels seemed to be the leader. It was quite foreign to see a beast-like monster wearing a necklace.

“You, you…… what are you?”

Lena knew it was useless, but she asked them. It was as if she was just raising her voice to try to overcome this terrifying situation somehow. But contrary to what she thought that the Sevcheks would not understand, the leader, who had been staring at her quietly, slowly began to approach her. Lena regretted that she spoke to them.

“Don’t come! Don’t come!”

Her voice trembled. She pushed herself closer to the wall of the cave, but there was no place to retreat. The head of Sevchek made an interested expression and tapped Lena’s forehead with the tip of its long fingernails. From the part where the nail touched her, it felt like she was getting goosebumps all over her body. Lena trembled and shrugged her body even more, the leader’s mouth gaped open, and someone’s voice came out of its mouth.

[You’ve come to your senses, bait. Then, shout as much as you can and call the Duke.]

That was a really grotesque look. Because it was the smooth voice of a middle-aged woman that flowed out through the ghastly Sevchek’s motionless mouth.

“Who are you? Hey! Can you hear me?”

But the leader no longer had a human voice. Then, it gripped her arm violently and dragged her to the entrance of the cave, shoving her over the white snow. The Sevcheks gathered around her and then stared at her. As if telling her to scream out loud.

But when told to scream, her voice doesn’t come out, so Lena just trembles on the snow, and she ponders how to get out of this situation. The woman’s voice earlier told her she was a ‘bait’, and urged her to call the Duke quickly. So, it was clear that if Kahel came this way now, he would be in danger.

It would be nice if she could escape from here without calling Kahel, but it was nearly impossible to escape on her own. It didn’t seem like she was hit anywhere, but seeing that she was stunned earlier, she didn’t even know if they were a race capable of using magic.

“Uh, uhhh…….”

As Lena let out a groan as she was not sure what to do, it seems the hearts of the impatient Sevcheks were not satisfied.

“Kyaaaak! Ahhk……!”

This time, she couldn’t help but scream. It felt like a burning pain radiating down her back and all over her body. It was clear that her thick woolen dress had been torn, and even the flesh inside had been cut.
