Helmut
Episode 282
Area’s eyes moved.
“Helmut and I will go.”
A flash of light passed through the eyes that were focused on Helmut.
In a situation where Ygrel and Elaga cannot go, it is desirable for the strongest among humans to step forward to deal with the ruler of the northern region.
Of course, Helmut and Area were perfect.
“You didn’t do that on purpose so you two could hang out together, right?”
Asuka looked suspicious.
It was a crowded place and there were a lot of people watching, so it was difficult for the two of us to be together.
Since their reunion, Helmut and Area haven’t even had time to talk properly.
Helmut was practicing sword training and Area was busy reviewing her plan.
In a way, that was why Area was in a hurry.
To quickly wrap up everything and get out of this forest of digging and be together leisurely.
Now is the time to focus solely on planning.
“Do you have a better opinion?”
Instead of denying it, Area asked softly.
Asuka closed her mouth. There was no excuse to refute.
Now everything is set. Xian and Asuka Charlotte looked at each other nervously.
They only thought about acting together, but they didn’t expect that they would move apart like this.
‘It’ll be okay.’
“We will prepare and depart in two hours. Elaga will accompany you all the way to the east, so two days will be enough if you run as fast as you can.
Ygrel, please depart south from here in two days.
Noon four days after departure. So, the product will be launched 6 days from now. And you have to return here to the central region within three days. The most important thing is…”
Area looked at everyone.
“It’s not about putting things into operation, it’s about returning to the central area within three days.
You must be on time. We must leave before the barrier regains its strength.
Of course it would be nice if you could get things up and running, but even if you can’t, don’t overdo it. According to calculations, activating just one can break the balance of the sacred barrier.
“I think it will be able to operate safely in at least one of the east and south west areas.”
The most variable area is the north. It was a place not with the rulers of the area.
‘Kantra of the North.’
Helmut repeated the name.
I’ve only ever heard of him by name.
Helmut became much stronger than when he fought Naho, but he had no idea how strong he was now.
This was because Elaga, the target of comparison, had also quickly become stronger, so there was no way to measure her own level.
“hey.”
At that time, Sarah raised her hand.
“What should I do? “I can fight too.”
I was saying this because my role was not assigned.
Instead of telling Alea to stay still because a weak guy like you can’t help, she spoke a little more softly.
“Protect your mother in the central region. “This place will be empty for a few days.”
“I can enter the barrier too!”
Of course it is possible. But the problem came after that. Because she will be of little help when fighting monsters.
Ygrel opened his mouth indignantly.
[Leave in two days, right? Then I’ll wallow in Elaga’s territory for two days and you can groom my feathers. Don’t you usually groom Ella’s fur?]
Ella raised her eyes in dissatisfaction.
[Why are you thinking of manipulating my humans and eating them as you please?]
[They will be in your territory anyway. I even helped them myself. Think of it as lending it to you for a moment.]
[What are you saying? Anyway, there’s nothing to do but fly around and drop dandruff.]
[Who would drop something like that! I’m clean! Really on the topic of smelly furry beasts.]
The conversation ended with the two monsters bickering.
With that, Pahe’s plan to escape the forest began in earnest.
*
“Please be careful Helmut. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
Before leaving, Susan greeted him with a sad look.
Sarah, who was holding her hand tightly, also waved to Helmut.
“Welcome back. “Master!”
Helmut said coldly.
“Don’t move around, just stay inside the house.”
It looks like a mother sending her husband off with her daughter.
Alea’s eyes became somewhat cold at the closeness felt between them.
“They look like family?”
Elaga opened her mouth without notice.
[Why am I still looking at them like that?]
When Helmut’s pitch-black eyes looked straight at him with a warning, Elaga changed her stance.
If he continued talking, I was planning to hit Elaga’s most vulnerable area, the bridge of her nose.
Helmut wants to avoid harming himself because of Elaga’s thoughts, which had nothing to do with his intentions in the first place.
Area reacted sensitively.
“Them?”
[It’s nothing.]
Elaga quickly shut her mouth. I don’t know why I have to pay attention to Helmut.
Fortunately, Area didn’t ask any more questions.
Before leaving, she gave Charlotte some adamantium and food.
“The gem in the center will reveal its location through light. Just put it there.”
“All right. Well then, good luck.”
After Charlotte’s solemn greeting, they left immediately.
Aska Sian Helmut Area. Three of the four humans rode on Area’s golem, and only Helmut climbed on Elaga’s back.
Everyone was reluctant to climb on the back of a leopard without a saddle.
Helmut could also climb the golem, but if he did so, he would not be able to communicate with Elaga.
Helmut held up well.
While withstanding the vibrations and shocks transmitted through Elaga’s body. It was a process that Asuka would soon have to go through.
After an arduous journey, they reached the eastern end without fail. A day and a half had passed.
Elaga stopped at a distance from the sacred barrier.
From the moment the sacred barrier was within visible range, divine power began to burn his demonic energy.
It’s not an incredibly strong feeling, but the monster loses its power just by approaching it.
Elaga frowned.
[Ugh, bad feeling. How can you live with something like that near your territory?]
Helmut asked, realizing one thing.
“Is this your first time seeing the sacred barrier Elaga?”
[yes. In the central area, it is invisible because it is above the sky.]
However, even though she had never seen it with her own eyes, Elaga knew about the sacred barrier.
Knowledge acquired instinctively through the awakening of demonic nature.
Helmut watched the sacred barrier at the eastern end.
His dark sprouts were also reacting. feel like vomiting. So much so that it can’t help but cause a stir.
Sigh.
A golem flew down from the sky and sunk its claws into the ground.
Area and Cian Asuka got down on the floor. They came to rest on the spot.
At some point, Sian muttered.
“Now I’m the only one left here and everyone is leaving, right?”
The east is an unclaimed land.
Even though there was no danger since it was so close to the sacred barrier, Xian was anxious and looked around.
Being alone in the forest of Pahe is nothing short of a test of courage. Compared to the south, where there is a waterfall, the east side was just an extension of Pahe Forest.
“All you have to do is activate it over there and come back. “I’m the problem.”
Asuka looked at Elaga warily.
Although it is said to be the monster that raised Helmut, Elaga is large and possesses fearsome magical energy. You must go with Elaga to the west, where the ruler of another area is.
It was painful to climb on the back of this huge leopard and hang on, but the problem was that there was a strong possibility of being caught up in the fight between the two monsters.
The mission he took on was the second most difficult mission among the group.
Elaga snorted.
[I won’t eat you, so don’t worry, baby.]
“Who said baby…!”
Asuka, who was furious, closed her mouth.
Helmut was very familiar with Elaga, so he was taking it easy, but Elaga gave off an aura that even the mad dog of yesteryear couldn’t mess with.
[Well, even though Baharek has a nasty temper, that’s a story from the past. [Because I am much stronger now.]
So, he told me not to be scared and to be at ease.
Naho’s death has already broken the balance of power, so it would not be surprising if one more ruler of the area disappears.
Even if her personality is not overtly vicious, Elaga is still a monster.
He wasn’t necessarily the type to solve problems in a peaceful way.
‘If you make a mistake, all you have to do is kill him.’
Elaga thought leisurely. Rather, he was friendly to Ygrel.
That was also because Ygrel had a personality that knew how to give in when appropriate.
“It won’t be too dangerous. “Take this.”
Area gave Xian a magic stone and food adamantium.
“To enter the sacred barrier, you, as a wizard, will also experience loss of magical power. Hurry up to work as much as possible, and immediately after leaving, use the magic stone to replenish your magic power.
From then on, all you have to do is carefully return to the central area. “It would be nice if I could join Elaga or Ygrel.”
Sian accepted the item with a nervous face.
“okay.”
Helmut turned to look at Elaga.
“Ella, please take the demon energy out of Sian.”
Just eating and drinking in the forest of Pahe is bound to fill your body with demonic energy.
At Helmut’s request, Elaga naturally took a front paw at Sian. It was a huge front paw with sharp claws like the fangs of an animal.
Xian’s face naturally turned pale.
But Elaga didn’t care and put her front paw on Sian’s chest as if patting her very lightly.
Soon, Sian felt a slight energy leaving his body.
It was a remnant of demon energy.
“Do you feel like something has cleared up?”
When he looked at his hand curiously, Helmut responded.
“This is near the sacred barrier, so there won’t be any more demonic energy accumulating.”
“But Area, how do you use adamantium? Can I just take it to the sacred barrier?”
“Listen to that.”
“what? “This…”
When Xian held out the adamantium toward the sacred barrier, a thin light emanated from the adamantium.
The blue light was thin but clearly pointed to a certain location in the sacred barrier.
Xian exclaimed in admiration.
“All you have to do is follow this!”
Area spoke in a calm tone.
“Stay nearby for a few days and then move when the time comes. “Not yet.”
Xian nodded as he placed the adamantium in his arms.
“Okay, I might be a little bored for a few days, but it won’t be dangerous. You guys, take care of yourself.
Especially Area and Helmut. No matter how strong you are, I don’t think it will be easy if you are a monster that is the ruler of each area.”
Even if they weren’t close to Elaga, they had already met Ygrel.
If such a monster was hostile to them, it was difficult to imagine what would happen after that.
