Stigma Effect

e strange feeling.

The wolf-like monster had a leash tied around its neck and a muzzle over its mouth.

Unlike the monsters in the basement that bumped into each other to get out, this monster sat calmly and watched the situation.

If it weren’t for the muzzle, restraints, and that large size, it would have looked like it could be mistaken for a hunting dog.

Yuriel pondered for a while whether that was a real monster, and soon came to a conclusion.

It exudes an energy that can only be felt by monsters with a core.
It was definitely a monster.

Unlike other monsters, it had a fairly elegant appearance.
Yuriel hesitated and moved with her back against the wall.
The monster’s eyes followed Yuriel.

There was another door behind the monster that turned its head as it moved.

The door was half broken and rattling as if that monster had hit itself there.

On the other side of the door, there were stairs leading up.
As she slowly approached the door, she checked whether the monster was still sitting quietly.
The monster was slowly getting up.
The monster set its large teeth between its muzzle and began to growl.

It was wearing a muzzle, but she couldn’t be relieved.
The claws were large.
It looked like she would be fatally wounded just by touching it.

Yuriel pulled out her gun and stepped back again.

If there was a door like that in this room, there was a possibility that there would be a similar door in the other room as well.

Yuriel, who came out as if running away from the room where the monster was, went out and entered the empty room opposite.

There was a familiar box on the desk in the empty room.
There was a box containing the robe that was stolen, some belongings, and the core of the monster.

Yuriel ran there and opened the box.
The monster core was still in the box.

It seems that the debate was settled without being able to figure out how to deal with the monster core.

After taking the monster core out of the box, Yuriel put it in her pocket and looked around.

“No.”

There was no door on this side leading to another place.

So there was only one place that could go to another place.
Yuriel went back to the room across the hallway and tried to think positively.

“Yes, who would think I went through the door behind the monster? So dangerous….
Wah.”

When Yuriel entered again, this time the monster roared straight away.
It was in a sensitive state as if it had detected something powerful.

“Ah, maybe because of this monster core….”

Monsters had a habit of making nests with powerful monsters as their leaders.
The measure for judging a monster with strong power was definitely the core.

And the monster core that Yuriel was holding now was the smallest one except for the one that was embedded in Raphlet’s chest.

Considering that the smaller the size, the greater the power, and the reaction of the monster was understandable.

Yuriel leaned her back against the wall, raised her gun, and approached the monster.
As she got closer, the monster lowered its body as if it would jump at Yuriel at any moment.

She had to approach it, but she didn’t have the courage to approach it.

If she shoots the gun, people who hear the sound will gather here, so she has to refrain from shooting, yet she has to shoot the monster to go through the door….

Yuriel pondered over a difficult situation to choose from.

As she sighed and pondered, the monster suddenly wrinkled its nose and slowly started to get up.

The monster that was wary of Yuriel drew closer to Yuriel to the extent that the leash was pulled tight.
The monster’s nose pointed towards Yuriel’s thigh.

Yuriel, who had stepped back so that its claws could not touch her, saw the gentle movement of the monster sniffing her scent, as if it liked her smell, and blinked its eyes.

“Why, why?”

The monster suddenly thrust its head towards her thigh and groin, the tongue fluttered in the muzzle of the mouth, as if the monster was trying to lick its young.

It seemed to think of Yuriel as a monster just like itself.

Is it because she has a core? It wasn’t like this in front of the nuclear-transferred knights or Raphlet….

 

She had seen the monsters guarding the nest behave like the monster in front of her a few times.
Yuriel looked at the monster that had no intention of attacking her and pushed the half-broken and rattling door.

When Yuriel went inside, the monster slowly tried to follow her, but stopped because the leash became taut.

Seeing that the monster could no longer follow, Yuriel was relieved and let out a long sigh.

“Oh, that’s good.
It can’t follow this far… Kyaak!”

The monster, who had been quietly bound by chains, moved its body greatly.
The chain that had been fixed to the wall broke off.
The movement caused a huge wound to the neck, but the monster only touched its own neck with its feet and shook its head to shed the blood.
Then it followed Yuriel to the inside of the door.

The long chain dragged on the floor, making an eerie sound.
Yuriel’s body, which screamed in surprise because of the monster, was gently wrapped around its tail and moved forward.

It was a gentle movement, as if to show that it did not intend to threaten.

The monster found its way in front of Yuriel.

It looked like it was trying to hide its young in case of a threat that appeared in front of her.

Yuriel pointed her gun in front of the large monster with a size that exceeded her waist.
She couldn’t relax because she didn’t know when it might change its mind and attack her.
