Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 468

Helmut Episode

468

Elaga’s method was radical, but it worked well. First of all, after defeating the monster, Baharek also came to his senses.

The petty monsters that came to their senses thanks to the wave of holy magic also ran away as soon as they realized that Elaga and Baharek were here.

Of course, the effect will not last long.

Before that, we had to find out why the monsters here, including Baharek, went crazy as a group.

It was Helmut who found the answer.

“This is…”

The grass on the floor looked familiar. It was a type of grass that Helmut, who almost died while eating it, could not forget.

Mato. A herb that increases immunity and purifies blood.

Helmut suffered from severe stomach pain after overdosing on Mato when he was young.

Memories accompanied by pain are not easily forgotten.

‘It’s a memory.’

If you think about it, you have overcome many hardships of life and death. Anyway, the important thing is that I passed it.

I looked around and saw Mato everywhere. Mato is a poisonous herb with powerful colony-forming properties.

This area was completely covered with matto.

“You ate mato.”

What if it caused the monster to go crazy and end up in that state? But you’re saying that he ate so much that it caused mania in the ruler of the territory?

Tigers are animals that have nothing to do with grazing grass. I wondered why they did something that was almost like torture.

[Is the name of that grass Mato?]

Bacharek was looking at Helmut. His eyes became clear, as if he had gone crazy at some point.

Holy magic basically has the power of purification. It hit Baharek’s body directly and blew away Mato’s poison.

That was Elaga’s instinctive calculation. Knowledge acquired naturally as a demon.

Helmut asked.

“Why did you eat mato?”

[That grass has the effect of making you come to your senses when you eat a little bit. But when I tried to come to my senses…]

“I guess I went crazy because I ate too much.”

Area received the word. Baharek frowned. He searched for memories.

[Before I came here… I had a strange feeling. It felt like something was trying to invade my consciousness. I tried to ignore it, but it got stronger. My bones started to hurt more and more, and when I suddenly became conscious, I realized that my body was moving east.]

Baharek’s territory is the western area. He was trying to go to the central region.

At the devil’s call!

[Keeps going… Something was rising up and trying to take control of me. So I came here. Because I know there is a lot of that grass here. I thought I would be fine if I ate that.]

“But didn’t you know that if I ate too much, I would go crazy?”

Bacharek nodded to Helmut’s question.

[I am a carnivore! I have never eaten grass, let alone gone crazy after eating it. Just eating those disgusting pieces of grass was hard work, but there was nothing I could do about it. Because I felt better when I ate it. But I guess I ate too much. At some point, he lost consciousness.]

So, Baharek was staying here in a crazy state, relying on his instincts.

Because he was in a state of madness, he was not controlled by the devil’s will.

Baharek let out a sigh as if he was feeling sick.

[I think I ate about a hill’s worth of it.]

That’s enough poison to kill tens of thousands of people.

But in another sense, it was easy for Baharek to go crazy.

If you let a tiger eat a hill’s worth of grass, it would go crazy from stress.

Xian, who had just looked at Mato, opened his mouth.

“This Mator is a similar species to Rosetta? “In terms of plant classification, we are related.”

“So it’s not the same, but it has a different effect.”

Well, it is natural that there is some way to resist even in the Forest of Pahe. Because the law of nature is a law that provides a breakthrough.

The monsters around here seemed to have gone crazy after eating Mato along with Baharek.

Xian, who became an expert on flora and fauna thanks to the spirit of the earth, gained insight.

“The reason they didn’t fight among themselves is because the monsters that ate Matou have a special characteristic of not attacking each other.”

“I guess that’s why they rushed at you.”

Elaga clicked her tongue.

[As a fellow feline monster, you should be ashamed! I can’t believe I’m a carnivore and go crazy eating grass!]

Even though it’s in pill form, it’s not something Elaga who takes Rosetta would say.

Baharek reacted as if it was absurd.

[What are you saying when you don’t even eat humans? Why are humans raised on the subject of carnivores?]

When humans sent to the forest of Pahe fell into his territory, Baharek ate them up without hesitation.

Unlike Elagan or Ygrel, he was close to the Nahogwa. They just don’t breed, raise, and eat humans.

Baharek’s eyes scanned the humans as he made a creepy sound.

The man-eating tiger’s gaze contained a creepy aura in itself.

Elaga snorted.

[Let’s say… it’s a matter of preference.] There

are people who eat chicken or pork but not beef.

Elaga also couldn’t explain why she was friendly to humans.

Baharek, who was looking towards the humans, suddenly sniffed.

[It smells strange. Clear your mind.]

The scent of Rosetta was wafting from the area.

The scent filled the surroundings and conveyed the efficacy of Rosetta.

This place will be safe from the devil’s rule for a while until the scent disappears.

[Are you okay Ella?]

[Me? what am i I am not a weak-minded person like you.]

Elaga, who had been stabbed, hesitated.

Perhaps the Demon Lord’s rule affected him in a similar way as it did to Baharek.

[Now that I think about it, you didn’t leave Pahe Forest? Why are you in my area? I clearly felt that you and Ygrel had escaped the sacred barrier.]

Baharek growled as his territory guardian instincts belatedly revived.

Elaga, who was thought to have left, has once again infiltrated his territory. Even more so with humans!

Some even attacked me while giving off an unpleasant divine power.

Even though I lost to him, it wasn’t a situation I could tolerate.

Elaga responded indifferently.

[They say the devil is being resurrected. So I came back to stop it.]

[Demon King? He died a thousand years ago… that’s it. Isn’t that why the forest of Pahe was created?]

Baharek traced the knowledge brought by the demonic castle.

As Baharek, who had never been close to humans, he had limited opportunities to come up with knowledge.

He reigned in the western region and lived a very satisfied life, sometimes mistreating other monsters.

It was the first unexpected event in his life.

[The demonic energy we have is the source and will of the demon king. So, when he is resurrected, all monsters will come under his control.]

[What? What bullshit is that! Who am I to be ruled by?]

[That doesn’t make sense, does it? In that sense, do you want to fight together?]

As Elaga asked, Baharek, who was angry, flinched.

He instinctively calculated victory and defeat. But the feeling was ambiguous. I feel like there is no guarantee of winning.

This cunning tiger had a loud voice, but was also good at pulling out when he thought he was going to lose.

Elaga struck the bow before he could speak.

[Kantra That coward wants to stay in the northern sea until he dies. You’re not that kind of a coward, are you?]

Elaga has never had a conversation with Kantra.

However, it is clear that this is the case, seeing as Helmut and his party, who came with Kantra’s scent behind them, are not actually with Kantra.

It was a sharp insight.

Baharek, whose pride could not allow him to be a coward, asked cautiously.

[Even Igrel… Are you three together?]

“Then, of course.”

Baharek narrowed his eyes at the woman with protruding pink hair.

[…Is this Ygrel? Why does he look so appetizing and weak?]

The man-eating tiger Baharek’s mouth watered for some reason when he saw the humanoid Ygrel.

In particular, isn’t Ygrel a huge bundle of magical energy?

“No matter what I look like, I am Ygrel.”

Ygrel, who gave a warning, crossed his arms.

“Anyway, you have nothing to do, and if you leave it like this, you will eat Mato again and go crazy or be controlled by the Demon Lord. “Follow us.”

[You can just leave that Rosetta behind. If we go to the central area, the Demon King’s rule or something will become stronger.]

Baharek hastily added.

[I’m definitely not saying this out of fear! You guys, think carefully too. The further you get to the central region, the more difficult it will be to resist. The monsters in my area have almost all flocked to the central area. If you go there, it will be crowded with them.]

[When did you say that you were scared of small-sized fish? Even if there are a lot of them, they are shabby.]

As Elaga showed confidence, Baharek shook his head.

[I have been in the Forest of Pahe and have been seeing, hearing, and feeling what is happening. Most of the monsters in Pahe Forest will be concentrated in the central area. The number must be as large as a swarm of locusts? You’ll have to fight extremely hard to defeat even the little brats. You have to withstand mental attacks while emitting demonic energy.]

“Seeing how much you talk, I guess he’s scared and doesn’t want to go.”

Ygrel’s eyebrows rose up.

She never once doubted that she would, in fact, have to fight alongside humans.

Just because she is, doesn’t mean she cares about humans like Elaga does.

The reason why Ygrel wanted to fight was also similar to the reason why he wanted to leave the Forest of Pahe.

At that time, Ygrel wanted to roam freely in the sky outside the sacred barrier.

That’s why he cooperated with Helmut and his group.

How important is the freedom to fly freely in the sky for birds?

However, if the Demon King is resurrected, Igrel will lose his free will.

If you are dominated, you cannot feel the joy of enjoying the skies all over the world.

Even if the sacred barrier no longer exists by then.

“We are the rulers of the region. Protect your pride like a ruler! Do you want to live as a puppet?”

Baharek flinched. He, too, did not want to be dominated.

Isn’t that why the tiger resisted until it went crazy by picking up a hill’s worth of grass and eating it?

Even after the Demon King is resurrected, there is no guarantee that he can endure with just Mato or Rosetta.

He’s a coward like Kantra. Even if he can avoid it because he’s in the water.

It was not the attitude of a ruler of a region to stand back and hope that the situation would be resolved positively.

Ygrel was right. Light emanated from Baharek’s eyes.

[No, I am Baharek, the ruler of the western region! Be it a demon lord or something, it doesn’t dare rule over me! We will fight so that the Demon King cannot raise his head again!]

[Okay, three to one. Let’s see how long the demon lord can endure!]

Elaga accepted the words with courage.

With this, the alliance of the rulers of the three regions was established for the first time since the creation of the Forest of Pahe.
