“That weak goblin……. You’re amazing. If you like small and cute things, you’ll definitely love it. Because goblins are small and cute.”
The ones who continued the conversation on the slowly walking horse sighed deeply as if they had a plan.
Capturing was harder than killing, and the clear distinction between good and evil made powerful villains ambiguous.
They were struggling with the rare and difficult goal, ‘To offer a small and cute animal to Cien’.
[This is a time separator.]As I covertly observed the hunting competition through the soundless orb, I became increasingly uncomfortable.
“These old men are strange.”
“Yes, Sir Cien?”
“They keep catching rabbits. They’re pretty rabbits.”
They keep catching rabbits and passing by terrifying monsters or magical beasts.
They seem to be talking to each other, but I couldn’t hear them well.
And, they ran away quickly as if even encountering a monster was horrifying, which was strange.
‘Could it be, they are scared of monsters? Maybe those people, are they weaker than they look? They certainly seemed very skilled.’
Plus, our dad seems to be alone all the time…….
I watched my dad intensely while sniffling and swallowing my runny nose.
When my dad is alone, it’s my duty to protect him!
I clenched my fist and widened my eyes.
‘Fortunately or unfortunately, there seems to be no problem yet.’
They didn’t really do anything. Normal hunting contests are about emphasizing dignity, everyone’s eager to catch the coolest and best monster.
I cautiously observed the situation and thought to myself.
‘……Wait, do I have to protect these old men too?’
I blinked my confused eyes and swallowed my saliva.
Then, a strange feeling came to me.
‘Hold on. I think I see someone strange…… Did I see wrong?’
The character who applies a lot of cash items in the game is usually strong.
I would not have felt anything normally, but despite not having magic, I, who wore all sorts of artifacts, felt a subtle sign of unease.
The feeling was subtle.
There is a month left until the deadline, but I don’t know what life will be like within that time.
I slowly looked around from the orb. At that moment, the armor given to me by my grandmother blinked once.
‘There must be some dangerous material around me. A traitor? An assassin?’
I began scanning my surroundings with sharp eyes.
Someone was clearly casting magic on me.
Whoever it was seemed to underestimate me, thinking I was just an ordinary child.
But I was not an ordinary child.
I smirked wickedly to myself and patted my shoulders, which were soft as glutinous rice cakes now, but would grow harder than a shield in the future.
I smiled a frightful and cold smile, as if I had taken in a gust of icy wind and hardened into a potato cake.
The green light on the hightech artifact attached to my body flickered and went out.
‘I don’t know what their aim is, but there is definitely someone there. And…..’
I extended my foot.
My anklet, which looked like an accessory, was cute, but it was actually a terrifying magical tool that could identify enemies.
I remembered the words of my grandmother, who had put artifacts into my pocket on the days I was being trained and before the hunting competition!
She had told me, ‘Without magic, everything is nothing if you can handle the artifact well, dear!’
It was exactly as she said.
Having learned how to handle artifacts from my grandmother, I could somewhat pretend to be a wizard without magic.
I looked down at my anklet with a wicked smile.
‘Unless they are as skilled as Axel, they can be easily found with this artifact. It vibrates when there are dangerous people around.’
I felt the vibration emanating from my round and chubby ankle and looked at the maid sisters.
“There’s a bad person here.”
“Huh?”
The silence was brief.
The maid sisters did not dismiss my words as a child’s.
Instead, they clenched their fists and looked around.
“Ah, finally, it’s time for me to demonstrate my power.”
“I’ve been waiting for this day.”
“All the bad guys have to die.”
The maid sisters began to emit a killing aura with an evil expression.
Their gaze filled with killing aura scattered below the podium.
It was a ferocious momentum that would crush anyone in its path.
The temperature seemed to drop by 2 degrees due to their fearsome faces and killing aura added together.
‘…It seems like people are disappearing from my sight as the sisters look around.’
While the sisters were emitting a ferocious aura, I tried to activate the earring artifact.
Using an artifact I had never used before was a bit difficult, so I fumbled a few times. However, soon my hand was able to find the right position to activate the artifact.
‘I was told to press the earring pin firmly.’
When I pressed the earring pin with my thumb, my earring made a beep sound.
It meant that I had found the target.
‘If even I, who lacks magic, can track the location using an artifact, they aren’t very dangerous. Are they just minions?’
I squinted and looked beyond the forest.
The maid sisters, seeing my gaze towards the forest, had a spark in their eyes.
“It’s the forest. I’ll catch them alive.”
“Catch them alive!”
“No.”
‘It’s time to find out where they are.’
It was that moment.
Something started to sparkle with a bang! from afar.
I squinted my eyes and pulled out the compassshaped artifact from my pocket.
“Sisters, let’s go down together.”
The forest is where my dad is right now.
The enemy might be planning to kidnap me and use me as a hostage to threaten my frail dad.
‘I have to go save my dad.’
Like a hero in a novel, I descended from the podium one step at a time with a dignified stride.
Even at that moment, magical attacks directed at me were continuously happening.
Of course, my body, armed with expensive artifacts, was deflecting all the attacks invincibly.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
