Chapter 381 Twisted Forest
Hidden Garden Outskirts of a normal residence.
Whether it’s to prevent confusion among the elves or to prevent unexpected accidents, we’re staying a little farther away from the outside world.
As the location is the location, there are not many people who visit. At most, how many people come to bring food and daily necessities?
But today was different. A guest has arrived.
Even with a lot of luggage.
Two people came. both are spherical
Meddy, the elder of the Hidden Garden, and Fika, the mobile strike leader, met when they first came here.
The elves had a rather horizontal structure, but Medi also carried a large bag. To the point of wanting to go somewhere to evacuate.
It’s embarrassing, but since you’re here, you should say hello.
“Uh… how are you?”
“I’m sorry for coming so suddenly. I came because I had a request.”
“Lay down your burdens first. It must be heavy.”
I gestured to Medi, who was moving on to the main topic, to come in.
The central hall inside the building is being used as a living room. It felt like a share house, so all the members were out in the living room when there was nothing to do.
The guys who blinked at the unexpected guest give up their seats.
Nyanpun softly offered a drink to Medi and Whika, who were sitting on the sofa.
Drink it right away if you are thirsty.
“What do you mean when you say please?”
“This time, I went to the Demonic Realm. I want to get your help.”
“If it’s the Demonic Land, isn’t it a place occupied by monsters?”
Maybe it’s because I spent a lot of time in the 2nd Heaven, but when I think of the Devil’s Land, the land occupied by monsters comes to mind first.
Of course, it might be used in a different meaning here, but it seems to be used similarly, judging from the expression and the armed state.
“It’s called the Devil’s Land, but it’s actually a place that belongs to the World Forest.”
“A world forest?”
“Oh, there is a World Tree, so we call this place the World Forest.”
That’s pretty intuitive. It is a world forest with a world tree.
I have a little doubt. I said earlier that gates do not occur in the realm of the World Tree. That’s why it’s called a safe zone.
There is no way that there is a demonic world. It means there is something we don’t know.
More than anything…..
“It seems like you have a different reason for coming to us. There are a lot of other elven warriors too, seeing as they came this way.”
It has recently helped catch intruders, but so far has not shown any significant performance.
We are favored, but we are outsiders.
Doing work related to the World Forest is an internal task.
“Elves are reluctant to go to Twisted Forest.”
Whika continued on behalf of Medi.
Meddy adds an explanation.
“It is a twisted forest artificially created by druids. Druids are members of the Hidden Garden like us.”
“I would say it is a cursed feeling. Elves have the characteristic of assimilating into the forest, so just being there is painful.”
It seems that there is a problem because of the racial characteristics.
So, you live separately.
There are no elves who want to go there, so they’re asking us.
“I don’t think your relationship with the druids will be good.”
“Not bad. Both elves and druids are children of the snow spirit. We have lived by helping each other whenever it is difficult.”
“It is still the same today. Even though their methods are different, they have the same heart to protect the World Tree.”
Even though it’s been a long time since the races were divided, is family still a family?
I don’t know. It could be their own culture. To a certain extent, the meaning is correct, so we formed a community.
Might be a little bit interesting.
The first chapter is also called ‘Children of the Snow Spirit’.
I think it would be nice to go to the Twisted Forest once.
I don’t know what the other guys think.
“It is not for me to decide alone. What will everyone do?”
I asked the kids rolling around on the couch.
“ha ha ha. How to help each other in difficult times. I am always ready to help!”
“Hey child. I’m getting more pissed off because I can see my insides. Whoa. done. once i agree We should see where it is.”
“It’s a twisted forest, so the name is unusual, but if you go as this member, you will be safe. I want to go too!”
The guys seem to be interested too.
Medi’s expression brightened at our reaction.
“Then let’s leave immediately.”
“Are you not ready yet?”
“You just need to bring your personal items. We prepared everything else.”
“I get help, but I can’t make it bear the burden. I will go and prepare for departure.”
Medi and Whika stepped out of the building.
Looking through the window, I saw a group of people carrying carts with their luggage on them.
It seems like it hasn’t been long since the decision to go to Twisted Forest has been made. So, you came here all of a sudden.
It doesn’t matter.
“I don’t have anything to take care of.”
“To that.”
Most items are in inventory and subspace items.
Is it a habit formed while at the top? Even when he was resting, he was always armed. I am still wearing the fall line set.
Same with other members. Preparations were completed by checking the condition of the equipment.
Let’s go. What kind of place is the Twisted Forest?
* * *
Not many people went to Twisted Forest.
5 members of the Mobile Strike Team, led by elders Mehdi and Whika. we are everything
11 people in total. Not so much.
–
It wasn’t a lively atmosphere.
The members of the mobile strike force clearly looked nervous, and Medi also carefully guided the way while looking at the map in his hand.
“The atmosphere is no joke.”
“Isn’t it like that? Something like a ghost coming out and going in and not being able to get out.”
“Ah, does it feel like a forest from a ghost story?”
Lick and Nyanpun whisper.
As the two say, the feeling is different from where the elves live.
The surroundings were dark due to the trees so thick that the sky could not be seen, and the trees were twisted wildly instead of stretching out finely.
To the point where I couldn’t even tell what kind it was.
Is that all? Monsters, no different from monsters, ate passing animals, and as if they had evolved to match the unique vegetation, even seemingly bizarre creatures roamed around quickly.
furthermore.
[A strange pressure oppresses the body.]
[A hallucination appears.]
[Anxiety is amplified.]
[Escape psychology is activated.]

Even though it was still in the beginning, all sorts of debuffs occurred.
[Mental Protection (SSS) Lv
.
“Mmm.”
“It’s hard.”
It didn’t seem like the elves were assimilating into the forest.
Some nervously bit their nails, while others bit their lips and swallowed saliva.
If there is one peculiar thing.
‘The only ones who brought weapons were Medi and Whika.’
Excluding us, among the elves who entered the Twisted Forest, there were only two people holding weapons.
I think it was to prepare for the time when I couldn’t bear the mental stress and took an unexpected action.
In other words, Medi and Fika have the mental strength and skills to endure to some extent.
“Kurrrrr.”
A low cry is heard.
in a dark forest. Several pairs of eyes are staring at us.
monster?
– Chanang
Baro pulled out his sword.
Perhaps in response to that, an unidentified monster sneaked up on me.
“What is that.”
“Eh Chimera?”
“I don’t think so.”
that gradually becomes clearer.
It’s a completely different look from the guys I’ve seen so far.
It’s not strange to say that Nyanpun is a Chimera.
‘It seems that several types have been mixed and twisted.’
The body of the guy who appeared was grotesque.
It looks like a mixture of wolf and human trees. There are also several eyes.
2 on the face, 4 on the body, I think there are a few on the arms.
It’s big, but it looks like it’s at least 5-star when you look at the visuals.
Would it be better to deal with it first? As I slowly leaned forward, Medhi raised her arm to block it.
“Don’t attack. I won’t attack you unless you touch me first.”
“It’s a creature that protects the twisted forest.”
creature?
I know. I saw it a lot at Framberg.
A magical creature like a homunculus, but without a soul.
The creatures I saw at that time were still in good shape, but they were…
[The SS-class powerful star-watching eyes are displayed.]
– Chizuzuzuzu
[Twisted Creature]
-A powerful creature tailored to the twisted forest.
-Instead of a soul, a spirit dwells.
-Welcome to you.
– I’m afraid of you.
-The Spirit is in pain.
-The spirit endures pain.
Information that comes to mind in a row.
The creature is right. It’s not an ordinary creature.
A spirit dwells in the artificial creature. Should I say it feels like a spirit has acquired a body?
A combination of a bright spirit and a strange creature. I feel strange.
“Krr. Hey hey.”
The creature lowers itself and approaches me as if it were crawling on the floor.
The elves’ eyes trembled.
‘Come to think of it, elves are said to be friendly with spirits.’
When I first saw Medi, spirits were wandering around.
A spirit dwelling in the twisted creature. It wasn’t good for the elves to see.
A few reflexively searched for weapons, but there was no way they were there. It’s because I’ve been disarmed since I came here.
Medi and Whika are also nervous and watching the creature.
“Wooooooo. Come to work.”
I moved forward again.
A softly outstretched hand.
The flinching creature sniffs and rubs his head in my hand.
Not that there’s any other reason.
[The friend of the title Homunculus shines softly.]
-The Homunculus approaches amicably.
– Magical creatures below a certain level, Chimera and Creatures feel fear.
[The titled spirit’s friend is Salang.]
-All the spirits are approaching amicably.
It seems to have responded to the title I have.
“Heh heh heh.”
A look that makes you happy to look at.
It’s bulky, but it’s cute.
The shape is a bit unusual, but the base seems to be a wolf, and aren’t wolves also canines?
“sit down.”
“Kong!”
“stand up!”
“Cheung!”
“That’s right, well done.”
boy. You’re smart
He stroked his hair gently.
“…How can I follow you well?”
“You were a trainer when you were outside of Ball Eye?”
Licking and Nyangpun looking at me with strange expressions.
The hair loss man showed interest in the creature with sparkling eyes.
“Truth always prevails. I like puppies too!”
“Kurrrrrrr!”
“Wow. calm down baby Supportive, but not harmful.”
As you can see, I was right on the edge.
A bald man who falls back sullenly.
I looked at Medi.
“I don’t think there will be any problems. Let’s keep going.”
“You are…”
“This is the first time a creature has reacted like this.”
He seems quite surprised, but even if he said that, I don’t know.
I don’t know what kind of character the twisted creature is and what kind of reaction it usually shows.
To me, it just feels like a dog that listens well.
“Kreur.”
“To that.”
For some reason, Deokchun and Ttaengchil are having a war of nerves.
hey. Why are you doing this? Our King God Deokchun.
It was like that even when it was deodeok, but when something sticks, they try to organize the ranks first.
He quietly scratched Deokchun’s head.
Deokchun turned his head with a look of approval.
“Kreung.”
Perhaps I was subtly scared, Tingchil lowered his tail and came next to me and lowered his body flat.
how to say
“Ride?”
“Kheung.”
I’ll give you a ride, but there’s no need to refuse.
Maybe it’s the first time we’ve been together, so Medi and Whika don’t say much.
As soon as he climbed up, Dingchil glanced at the map Medi was holding and strode forward.
It’s like trying to give directions.
In the beginning, Medi, who looked at the map to make sure he was going in the right direction, started walking along with Ttaengchil.
how far did you move
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
“Keeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.”
“Goo goo. Goo goo.”
Creatures snooped one by one and showed up.
Before I knew it, dozens of creatures followed me behind me.
A place that looks far away as a destination.
“…Oh my God.”
A druid who appeared to be a sentry gaped open.
trembling
The spear, which had missed on impact, fell to the floor with a loud thud.
