Volume 5 - CH 37

Act 5-37: Nightmare

――Noth Grand, the center of Aldebaran army camp, Imp Research Facility

The son of the patriach of hob goblin village―― Gobuza was dragged into a room along with his brethen. It was a room inside a huge wooden building. In the middle of the room was a lump of meat that barely maintained its human form.

In front of that lump of meat was a man with red skin, wearing navy blue clothes, red hair swept on the back sitting in the chair.

「N-NOOOOOOOOOO!」

And the hobgoblin whose age was two years older than Gobuza was dragged in front of the lump of meat by the demon race soldiers. The demon race soldiers pushed the hobgoblin toward the lump of meat, and right at that very moment, several eyes and mouth or something similar to that opened up on the surface of the lump of meat.

『GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!』

The despaired wail of the hobgoblin who Gobuza regarded as his own brother resounded along with the sound of crushed bones and flesh inside the lump of meat.

『Gulp!』

The lump of meat made a burping sound and something that resembled a face on its surface rotated in its place.

「Well then, you shall become a supplement to help me to become King. Be honored since you can at least become the waste of this lump of meat!」

The moment the red haired man with hair swept to the back and he gave a signal with his eyes, the soldiers threw them one by one toward the lump of meat.

「Oi, next!」

And just when the red haired man sent down execution order to the next hob goblin in turn, Gobuza,

「Rerad-sama, it seems the experimental body has killed enough for today.」

The red haired man with swept back his hair, Rerad clicked his tongue upon hearing that update,

「Return them to their cell.」

Rerad left the room after he said so, he didn’t even try to hide his annoyance.

Gobuza’s legs went limp as he realized that he barely survived, he was then dragged by the soldiers back to his cell.

At this point, Gobuza couldn’t even feel sad or angry seeing the death of his brethren. He just felt relieved that his life was spared for another day. Later on, Gobuza cried nonstop, feeling ashamed of his feelings.
