Chapter Title: Wendigo BBQ and Witch Hunt Season
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Survivor: one. Dead: several hundred.
It spat out demonic beasts from the rift.
Ten villages massacred, and only the post from the barely surviving survivor—thanks to the previous bear trap—spread through the gallery.
- Why does it look like that?
- Was there a demonic beast like that?
ㄴ Yeah, there was. But seeing it after so long, it really looks like a bum.
ㄴ What's that thing's name?
ㄴ Wendigo
Deer face, body split like an animal carcass, and over 2m tall.
After the Great War, it was a variant demonic beast unlike any seen before, spat out from the rift.
Abnormally fast speed, hands creepy-long.
That's why people died before info could spread in the gallery.
And it was right when the Wendigo arrived at the eleventh village.
-Kikigik?
No people.
No chimney smoke, no human scent.
Just an empty village like a movie set welcoming the Wendigo.
One of them entered a house to check inside.
Pitch black inside, couldn't see a thing, but a clear oil smell stinging the nose.
-Kikigikik
The Wendigo laughed creepily.
Hide-and-seek with humans was good fun.
It was about to probe the dark interior, expecting terrified faces.
"Hmm, hmm."
Something sat on a kitchen table chair.
But it wasn't human.
Black fire-resistant suit, skull-like respirator.
"Want me to turn on the light?"
The Wendigo, not understanding human speech, tilted its head.
The man, relaxed, just pulled the trigger with a click.
-Whoosh!
Flames spewed from the flamethrower end.

First, pull the trigger.
Second, Wendigo dies.

(Thumbs-up worker con)
- Wh-what is this?
- Wendigo (formerly)
- Naughty Wendigo got tamed~
- (Elf con clutching head with both hands)
The variant demonic beast that froze the entire north finally emerged from the rift.
And got cut down in two days.
"Easier than I thought?"
I was the one who supplied the flamethrower to catch the Wendigo.
Heard fire was its weakness, but didn't expect it to be this easy.
- Hey Judak, explain.
- Judak, explain how you knew!
- What? Judak in some controversy?
- Explain! (No idea what)
- Haya haera!
ㄴ No bad words like that.
Thanks to that, gallery users started demanding reasons from me.
Makes sense—Wendigo was a variant not seen since the Great War.
No known weaknesses, and even that name was one I gave it.
But nothing really to explain.
[Fantasy Demonic Beast Encyclopedia] - 10p
Demonic beast settings from various games and novels!
Just 10,000 won!
You too can become a fantasy expert!
Sold in the shop.
"Why did this actually work?"
I found this book by chance in the system books category.
Like a game setting collection, a detailed compendium.
Saw fire was the weakness there.
Of course, just in case, I supplied a couple grenades too, but why did it actually work?
- Judak* fml idk either;
ㄴ If you don't know, who does?
ㄴ lol he did it himself and claims ignorance
ㄴ (Uwaaak sorry! Knight con)
Thinking of the shivering cold, it ended anticlimactically.
But good is good, then a bartering request came after a while.
['Firepunch' entered the chat room.]
Firepunch: Ooh Judak comrade
Judak*: Not comrades but yeah what's up
Firepunch: We bravely caught the rift trash and seized its proof, so came to show Judak comrade.
Judak*: TLDR plz
Firepunch: (Mysterious something image)
Firepunch: Got item take it lol
(Firepunch shipped 'Ice Essence'!)
"Ice Essence?"
What's that, you fanboy.
Before I could say, a delivery box appeared in the corner.
Opened the package, inside a tennis ball-sized ice crystal.
"Ooh..."
No idea what, but aura screaming "I'm super OP."
Used system for details.
[Ice Essence]
Ice crystal from eons ago infused with top-tier mana.
Dragons go crazy for it as dessert.
Anyway, amazing incredible.
"Dragons? Wait, there are dragons here?"
System doesn't show info if unknown.
Means dragons really exist somewhere here.
Sometimes dragon bait in gallery, thought it was usual trolling, but no?
But surprise didn't last.
"Virgin succubus, bishoujo demons exist, dragons are... rather ordinary?"
Recalling prior cases, this was oddly normal.
Took Ice Essence to storage room.
Storage already divided into drawers, but overflowing with stuff.
Elf hair bracelet, rabbit tribe fur ball, all kinds.
Tucked Ice Essence deep somewhere.
"Someday it'll come in handy."
No clue why they hunt and give to me.
Judak*: Idk what but will use well thx
Firepunch: Then Judak comrade, can we take this as proof?
Judak*: Proof?
"What proof?"
Thought a bit, recalled how hideous Wendigo was.
They volunteered to hunt it, want credit?
Judak*: ok ok acknowledged
Replied without much thought.
Firepunch: !
Firepunch: Thanks Judak comrade! Fron Republic is immortal!
[Firepunch left the chat room.]
Threw myself on bed, browsed gallery with relaxed mind.
"All urgent issues handled?"
Variant threatening Fron caught, cold eased.
Plus, rounded up gallery trolls and disciplined them...
No massive demonic beast invasions hitting any race right now.
"Time to read core posts properly."
A brief lull.
Wondering if I missed any core post, entered core post section.
About to read from last page backward.
"Ah, something feels off?"
Felt a creepy chill crawl up my spine.
Intuition from running Isekai Destruction Gallery as Judak.
Usually means something's about to blow up in gallery.
But kinda obvious.
Demonic invasions paused, market satisfies basic human needs.
Next thing in medieval times: only one.
[Core Post: Ah lol witch hunt incoming?]
(Witch hunt crowd image)
(Bound girl sobbing begging for life image)
(Torch and pitchfork religious trial image)

~ Season 512421 witch hunt go~
- Already witch hunt season?
- Can't stand witches
- (Witch? Die. Bishop con)
"No shit."
Yeah, age-old medieval tradition.
Witch hunt season next.
*
Crowds suffered long.
Ruled by few elites, flesh torn by 'outside' demonic beasts.
No escape left or right.
So crowds chose one way.
- Ah lol time to rise up?
- Craving 'people's uprising'?
- Tolerated 99 times, 100th is it
Rise up.
Vent pent-up rage by cruelly killing elites as they suffered.
Not just elites, criminals too.
Tie tight to pillar with rope, light fire, burn alive.
"Die!"
"You trash! You deserve to die like this!"
Crowds felt catharsis watching end, got some relief.
But stacking up became addiction.
[Title: Any criminals done bad deeds?]
(Scratching belly frog con)
Craving executions.
- Fr real when's the event?
- About time for season...
Post-Great War, most nobles dead.
Surviving rowdy nobles died in crown prince exile incident.
No one left to punish properly.
Anxiously, it was the church.
- Uh fml this ain't good
- Next up us?
- Gotta open event for peasants...
Church enjoyed mafia game backed by peasant support.
But Great War and Adrian crown prince incident bullets killed all mafia.
Naturally, blame shifts to church living lavishly.
[Title: Hate church? Upvote lol]
Force half-tithes every time
Give nothing back
Then they fat as pigs upvote lol

Anti-church mood slowly forming.
In that eerie atmosphere, church thought.
No mafia in mafia game? Just shoot citizens.

Witch hunt started like a festival.
People, unaware what's wrong, familiar with witch hunts since birth.
Moment saw new core post.

ㄴ Huh?
ㄴ Judak* wanna get hit? Wanna?
Lost my reason.
