Zero. The great mage finds a human (3)

Humans were weak. They didn’t have strong magic power like the forest fairies, strong nails like the beasts, or skills like the land fairies, and there weren’t many of them. So, all they could do was run and pray.

“Krrr…delicious humans; there are many humans.”

“Men’s flesh is tough, so they don’t taste good. Kill them all and sow them in the forest. We’re offering them as a tribute to the demon world.”

“Leave a few women. Because we have to test if they can give birth to our children.”

His height was close to 3-meters, his whole body was covered with muscles harder than rocks, and his grim face was gleaming with the wild yellow eyes of a beast. Big, sharp horns protruding in the middle of the forehead made them look even more intimidating. They were chasing humans and sprinting into the Mother Forest.

“Ah, Aaah…”

“No more. I can’t run anymore. The bushes are too thick.”

“Help. God, please come to us…kyaak!?”

A teenage girl, who was running away with desperate prayers, stumbled over a stone beak. Slowly chasing after them, as if a cat were playing with a mouse, one of the orcs had a twinkle in his eyes as he lifted her legs upside down.

“Sharay!”

“Kuku, I caught one. Is it a female? Let’s experiment with this.”

“But can a weak thing that falls give birth to a strong baby?”

“You idiot, that’s why I said we have to experiment.”

People screamed at the captured girl’s sight. However, there was no human being who dared to go out for the girl because they knew that they couldn’t save her.

“Ahhh… Save me, save me. God, please save me, save us…!”

The girl shed tears and prayed to God, knowing that it was meaningless to expect something from her compatriots. She had nothing to do except pray.

“…Gosh, she’s making it uncomfortable for me to step in.”

Evan realized that he had arrived at the worst time and muttered.

“Now, just accept your fate, Master. In fact, there are a lot of people in Sherden who exalt you as a god.”

“Be quiet, Maybell.”

“Kyaah. I also like the Master who pushes me like that.”

The sound of an open conversation, far from the current situation, echoed in the vacant lot, and people looked around because they didn’t know the meaning of their words; when they heard the sound of the orcs approaching and realized it, they stiffened.

“Why are they all guys?”

“Find, find and kill!”

“Are there any strong people among humans? Let’s kill all the men first!”

The violence of the orcs was still there. He wanted to see how far they would go, but he couldn’t allow having victims, so Evan flicked at the orc going forward to kill the men.

―Pong, Pong!

The orc head exploded one after another with a cute sound effect as if the winged Digimon emanated air blasts. Rigid humans horrified orcs. Evan muttered several more times, flicking and blowing off the orc’s head.

“I want to preserve the horns. Because that is the main resource of this era.”

“Then, if you adjust the force…Oh, is that the minimum?”

“Yes. They’re way weaker than I thought. I think I’ll have to do a little more force control practice later.”

“Then I’ll do the rest.”

“That would be great.”

Shortly after, the orcs were able to confirm the appearance of their attackers. Through the grass, a beauty dressed in a revealing leather outfit showed herself. The orcs were thrilled as they glanced at the magnetic body lines that began with her long deer-like neck and descended to her full breasts.

“I think that one will give birth to a strong baby!”

“The hips look strong, too!”

“She’s pretty!”

The reason why the orcs, who used to treat humans just as subjects, were excited at once was simple: Maybell was a succubus. A succubus had the ability to seduce men of all races. She was able to snatch the Ancient Orcs without a chance for them to resist. No, even just now, she had no intention of seducing them!

“I’m with my Master, and these pig bastards don’t even know their place…!”

But unfortunately, here, Maybell, an innocent virgin not long ago, wasn’t very immune to sexual harassment! Particularly, the fact that Evan was next to her now aggravated her embarrassment and anger.

“I’ll kill you!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

Maybell summoned only her whip out of the armament she possessed and swung it. The whip swung quickly so that no one could see it and struck the orcs’ throats. Out of the three-hundred orcs, Evan killed nearly fifty of them with air blasts, but Maybell killed more than a hundred with only a whip.

“What…!”

“She’s s-strong! To give birth to a strong child…”

Instead of retreating, the Ancient Orcs, who had their group halved in no time, attacked her with more excitement. Still, Maybell was even angrier at their voices and swung her whip again. The humans and orcs were mixed together, but her whip removed only the orcs. After only three seconds, there were no orcs left alive. However, Maybell vented her anger by smashing at the orcs’ already-dead bodies repeatedly with her whip.

“So annoying, they’re saying such rude things in front of Master!”

“You are the Succubus Queen…well, with this, I’m glad you also recognized some of my grievances.”

Evan took a step forward and comforted Maybell with those words. The surviving humans were staring at them blankly.

“G-God.”

Meanwhile, the girl who survived after being held by the orc muttered blankly, looking at Evan. Maybell killed more orcs, but she couldn’t understand why they were focused on Evan. However, her words became a catalyst, and others began to put the word ‘god’ in their mouths. In fact, he was expecting the development to be like this.

“Really, God has saved us.”

“Unbelievable.”

“He hasn’t helped us even if I have asked so far.”

“You’re stupid; you can’t even be thankful for him saving us just now!”

Wasn’t this a pretty familiar scene? Evan clapped once to keep them quiet and said.

“I’ll tell you now. We are not gods. I’m Zero, and this one…”

It turned out that Evan himself is using her pseudonym, and when he wondered whether he could say Maybell’s name as it is, his stomach felt hollow, but Maybell seemed not to care about it.

“Maybell is a common name. In fact, even if you just say your true name, there will be no problem.”

“Quiet. Ahem, you can call this one Maybell. I’m a human, and she’s a demon who follows me. We just started to save poor people like you. Anyone with any questions so far?”

“I have a question!”

Again, it was none other than the girl who acted most prominently. She must have been chased by several dangerous creatures, but even still, oddly, her face shimmered cleanly. If she were in Yo-Ma Great War 3, he would think, ‘Oh, she’s a heroine,’ the moment he saw her. Evan looked at her closely, wondering if she was the one who appeared in Yo-Ma Great War Zero, but she wasn’t. With such strong black hair, there would be no way that Evan couldn’t remember her if she were.

“Can I call you God?”

“I thought you would say so; that’s why I told you I’m not God…forget it, do whatever you want.”

“Okay, god!”

He had given up on being the object of faith. In addition, seeing that his own fanatic, Must Save, finally gained divine and strange powers, it seemed that a strong belief in one existence could give a strong power…

“And…what about us?”

The next one that spoke up was a middle-aged woman. Coincidentally, he remembered her. She was one of the five humans that the ancient Archmage sought in the beginning. Evan replied to her with joy.

“If you’re fine with it…I’ll take you all to a safe place. Of course, I want you to follow our instructions as we guarantee safety.”

“Oh my gosh…!”

“He will lead us to paradise!”

“You really were a god!”

“Uh, well, just think what you want.”

After that, an atmosphere similar to when he first met the dwarves developed. Some people fainted or cried out of relief that Evan and Maybell, who had great powers, protected them. Some even prayed to Evan right away…especially, among them, the girl with black hair was very serious about it.

“Master, that kid.”

Maybell whispered in Evan’s ear.

“She has a magic power that isn’t believable from a human. It looks like it hasn’t been properly activated yet…maybe that’s why she immediately called you god.”

After looking more deeply, he felt the magic power that was sparsely emanating from the black-haired girl. She wasn’t able to control it because she was not aware, but it was also evidence that she had vast magic power. Perhaps her pretty and clean face was also influenced by the leaking magic power.

“When you have a high magic power, you become sensitive to energy, so did she realize that I have stronger power than you?”

“No. She realized that the power you have is impossible if not from a god.”

“What does that mean?”

“Kyaah.”

Evan, who scolded her by pinching Maybell’s nose slightly (although Maybell was pleased), looked at the girl again. When she realized that Evan’s gaze was pointing at her, her eyes twinkled, and she worshipped him again. Yes, with that attitude, it seemed he didn’t need to worry about it for the time being.

“Maybe she can be raised to reach her full power.”

“Should I teach her magic?”

“Can you use magic?”

“I’m also the queen of dreams, alright!?”

Maybell was offended! Evan took the shocked Maybell and those still swaying their head and directed them to the hideout where Mirole and the dwarves were waiting.

“By the way, Master, that kid.”

While guarding the humans and moving slowly, Maybell stuck to Evan’s back and whispered quietly.

“She has black hair.”

“I’m trying not to think about that right now, so don’t stress it on purpose.”

“Which race is she?”

“…Perhaps a witch.”

Evan was quick to give up and admit it this time. Maybell laughed happily as she saw the girl staring at Evan while walking.

“I am looking forward to teaching her magic.”
