[ Episode 385. The one who chases the light in the dark]
A small commotion broke out in the dreamy forest. Before we knew it, the fairies who surrounded us all patted us with curious faces and laughed.
“What the hell is this place…….”
Nebro was fascinated by the mysterious and beautiful scenery. Seeing him like that, Ilias waved his hand.
“Carrier job. Wake. We have to go to Shaiya.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
– Shay? Shay!
The fairy Ilias called the Fairy Queen hovered around and shouted.
-Are you going to Shiya?
“That’s right.”
-aha! You guys are the ones the Guardians are going to catch! Haha!
“yes?”
Nebro and Freyr stiffened at the Fairy Queen’s words.
How do you know that?
– He’s not dead! amazing! I heard the news that Manaram went to catch him and was killed! amazing! How did you defeat Manaram? amazing!
Seeing the Fairy Queen cheering with an innocent face, Nebro was speechless. Instead, it was Ilias who spoke up.
“We have to go to Shaiya. How can I get out of here?”
-I don’t know either! This forest is a place no one can enter! So I don’t even know how to get out!
-Carr!
The fairies laughed at the Fairy Queen’s words. But there was no malice in that laugh.
[“How about setting the Nebro coordinates?”]
“Yes? Oh, it was a very urgent situation, so I just took the coordinates in the right space.”
– Do you want to go out? huh? do you want to go out
The Fairy Queen flew around Nebro and asked teasingly.
-If you want to go out! Help us out!
At the Fairy Queen’s words, the party confirmed each other’s faces. Then Freyr opened his mouth.
“What can I do to help?”
-Collect star candy!
“Star candy?”
Freyr asked with a face what it was. Then some fairies flew around her and showed something the size of a fist.
-This is star candy!
-The kids running around have them!
-Are you going to do it? Curry!
From the outside, it just looked like a colorful jewel. Looking in the direction the fairies beckoned, it seemed that something else was living outside the forest.
“If I get this, can I leave?”
– I can’t guarantee it, but I’ll help you get out! Maybe it’s possible with my power? Hi-Hi.
At the Fairy Queen’s words, the party gathered and began to discuss.
“You can’t use the skill you just did here, right?”
“Yes, this place itself seems unusual, but the coordinates are distorted. I think it was because of that power that we were moved here.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but in the end, I’ll have no choice but to save it.”
“Ilias will help too.”
After confirming that there was no other way, they told the Fairy Queen.
“Can you save me?”
-Will you? good! Um… How many do we need?
“Wouldn’t it be enough to just get one?”
-One is not enough! wait. About 30 should be enough!
Freyr frowned at the queen’s words, but Ilias took the lead.
“Ilias will save you. Please post directions instead.”
-okay! well thought out!
what can’t you do
It didn’t seem too difficult, so I just watched quietly. Aura master class swordsmen and insanely talented wizards didn’t have much to worry about unless they were transcendental beings like the one before.
-follow me. lol.
One of the fairies smiled and started guiding the party. As they followed, the dreamy landscape of the forest gradually began to be covered with darkness.
“The atmosphere changes in an instant.”
“Come to think of it, I haven’t heard where this place is. What is your name here?”
The fairy who guided the way smiled at Freyr’s question.
-We call it the Screaming Tree Forest. hee hee
“Screaming Tree Forest? If it’s a forest of screaming trees…”
Freyr blurted out his words as if he knew something. Since he’s an elf, he’s so quick with information about the forest.
“A forest where trolls sleep?”
-troll! That’s right, the trolls have star candy. lol.
“No, if I say that now…!”
Freyr stopped walking and was shocked.
what is a troll? It was the first time I heard the name, so I didn’t know what it was.
“Trolls are some kind of giant, right?”
“……Fighting trolls is crazy.”
Freyr shook his head as if it was impossible. Then the fairy changed her complexion and muttered.
– You promised. To get us star candy.
“I haven’t heard of trolls having star candy. no wait a minute I can’t believe that star candy……”
Freyr’s eyes widened and he shouted.
“The heart of a troll?”
-We need star candy. I need 30 of them. you have to save i promised
The figure of the fairy muttering obsessively now seemed creepy. Then Ilias reached out and stroked the fairy.
“Not nice.”
– Ugh.
The fairy, whose expression returned to normal, soon hugged Ilias with her eyes wide open.
-Are you going to save me? we can’t I need help.
“huh. Ilias promised.”
At Ilias’ words, Freyr grabbed her by the shoulder.
“Ilias! You don’t seem to know what a troll is, but this is impossible…”
“We have to go to Shaiya anyway. It’s no use if we can’t get out of here.”
Ilias said firmly.
Soon after, she unwrapped the long item wrapped in cloth that she always carried in her arms.
“knife?”
It was a sword without a handle. To be precise, it should be called a swordsman. As if it were made of unprocessed gemstones, only the shape was that of a sword body, and the ruggedness was impressive.
‘It looks like a stone sword from the Stone Age.’
It seems that opal stones were used, not stones.
It’s the same color as Ilias’ eyes.
“Ilias can use this.”
“what is that? Wasn’t it a precious item that had to be moved to Shaiya?”
“Things are meant to be used, carrier Lee.”
The way the child gave advice to the adult was unbalanced, but the strangely confident look gave him an unknown trust.
“Let’s try it.”
“Nebro and you…Ha ha.”
Freyr sighed and looked at Ilias with grim eyes.
“Trolls are not normal guys. As Nebro said, they are giants, so their physical abilities are incomparable to ours.”
“I will do my best to protect you.”
“……I don’t know how to say it. But if it’s you, there’s a way somehow.”
Freyr finally gave up his opinion and followed the party. However, the strong tension flowing from her gestures did not change.
-good. Hi-Hi. follow me only
The fairy smiled again and started guiding, and the forest began to grow darker.
And finally…
-Kureuk.
A gray monster with a grotesque appearance could be found lying face down on the floor.
‘That’s a giant? Doesn’t it look like a human at all?’
Its appearance was roughly sculpted from gray clay. It had a head and two arms, but there was nothing below the waist, so it looked like it was dragging its body.
Far–
And it was strange that the thorn-like bumps all over her body trembled in time.
“…….”
The party watched the scene without a word.
The sight of the giant torso sleeping while exhaling evenly gave a tremendous sense of intimidation in itself.
[“I don’t know how strong you are, but if you’re going to attack, now is your chance. Prepare for the strongest one.”]
Nebro listened to my will and started collecting mana. Presumably reading that sign, Freyr cautiously drew out his sword and guarded Ilias.
Quadruped!
A giant ice spear was created in the air.
It was large enough to pierce a sleeping troll.
Paperweight!
As if that wasn’t the end, electricity started to flow through the huge ice window. Originally, the window could not withstand the current and would have been broken, but how well the mana was arranged was well-balanced.
-Grumble?
The unusual flow of mana woke up even sleeping trolls. But by the time he noticed, it was too late.
-Grumble!
The moment the troll, about the same height as a large tree, turned to look back, Nebro’s spear was pierced.
Pew!
The spear, which rotated and flew on the same principle as bullet magic, exploded in the air like a firecracker and moved like a shotgun until it was stuck in the troll.
-Kooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The troll struggled, screaming with its enormous mouth open almost to its navel.
“It’s not over! Trolls have tremendous life force. A monster that can be defeated with just one skill…….”
Kwajik!
Kwajangchang!
The moment Freyr shouted urgently, Nebro’s ice spear exploded. Soon, the broken ice spear turned into sharp pieces of ice and created a storm.
Bubbubuck!
The troll was torn to shreds in an instant.
The sight was so shocking that it could be called a natural disaster.
“The monster…”
Freyr, speechless, repeated the same words. And the fairy who came with her also clapped her hands and shouted.
– Be strong! amazing! It’s true that you defeated Manaram!
Soon, the storm calmed down and only the gray flesh scattered in all directions and the heart called star candy were left in place of the troll.
-It’s star candy. lol.
Seeing that, the fairy flew away and lifted up a heart the size of a fist.
The body is the size of a mountain, but the heart is only that size.
“Nonsense. Were you this strong?”
“I’m still getting stronger, so I’m stronger than when I first met you. lol.”
Nebro smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. I can’t believe the reaction seemed so stupid for what made for a terrifying spectacle.
‘Come to think of it…’
Nebro was definitely getting stronger day by day. Apart from the fact that I had learned all the magic, I felt that the mana arrangement, the sense of using the magic formula, and the mana itself had increased much more than before.
‘It feels like the stronger Nebro gets, the stronger my presence becomes.’
Am I getting stronger too? I don’t know that yet. It could have been simply my illusion, but at least I felt that my will was getting stronger.
“good job. carrier job.”
“Leave everything to me! Get 30 of them right away and escape here!”
Nebro, who seemed excited, said confidently.
[“I know you feel good, but don’t be vigilant.”]
“Ah angel! I will never let my guard down.”
[“I killed a guy who was sleeping right now, so he was safe, but it can’t be like this all the time. There is no guarantee that they will go one by one.”]
“It certainly is. I will keep that in mind.”
Nebro quickly regained his cool.
Clearly, this guy was out of the ordinary. Is it because he is the son of a transcendent? After all, you are the son of God.
‘I’ve never heard of a god called Aion.’
Anyway, now I have 29 hearts left.
It didn’t seem like it would take very long.
**
flinch!
Something lurked in a cave not far away wriggled. The huge figure, whose whole body was covered with something elongated like a snake, began to slowly wake up.
-I hate it like the end spit out by the ribs operated by the nights.
Something that said something bizarre soon lit up his eyes.
– Found the light. found the light. found the light.
-Grumble!
Along with its horse, dozens of trolls around it began to wriggle.
– Can I eat it?
