Helmut
Episode 461
In an instant, beyond time and space, to the Forest of Dig.
They were flying towards the Forest of Pahe as a group of ten people.
The scenery changed quickly.
Before I knew it, a pure white barrier was in front of me.
However, the moment you pass through the barrier, darkness spreads across your vision.
A pitch-black curtain turning the world into night covered them.
Coo!
I was shaken so much that my bones hurt, as if I had been bombarded by something.
The sacred magic that had guided them to the Forest of Pahe was shaking uncontrollably.
What surrounded them was a powerful divine power, but in the atmosphere filled with demonic energy, it was rapidly losing its power like a meteorite falling to the ground.
Quaaaaa!
It was not that variables were not taken into account, but the results were unpredictable.
The meteorite was divided into two large pieces, each falling towards a certain location in the Forest of Pahe.
Anyway, the entry into the forest of Pahe was successful.
Although it is unknown whether they will be safe or not.
Those who remain will have to pray for the success of those who left and prepare for the coming battle.
* * *
Tak!
Helmut appeared out of thin air and stood with his feet on the ground.
Although there was an unexpected incident along the way, they succeeded in moving to Pahe Forest.
The divine power that was embedded around his body and gave him a slight sense of floating was consumed by demonic energy and dispersed as soon as he reached the ground.
‘Ella? Where is Area?’
As soon as Helmut got off, he tried to sense his surroundings.
As it passed through the sacred barrier, the magic shook greatly.
The magic, scattered into two branches, shook more and more as it got closer to its destination.
The movement magic to Pahe’s Forest was originally created for a small number of people.
It seems that the group of more than ten people unfortunately arrived scattered due to interruptions in the middle.
Helmut felt that since it had been divided in half and the direction had changed, about half of it should be around here.
I didn’t even know who came this way.
‘Thank goodness. Because everyone has the power to protect themselves.’
The air was acrid. The air taken in through the respiratory tract was filled with demonic energy.
Even though this place is the Forest of Pahe, the magical energy is so strong.
It was as if toxic smoke was slowly flowing out from a volcano about to explode, coloring the air.
The volcano here must be the Demon Realm.
His seal was still intact.
After checking, Helmut took the Rosetta pill and immediately started moving.
First, you need to find the party that fell nearby.
‘Where is this place?’
There was a crunching sound every time I walked.
It was on a frozen sheet of ice with a shallow layer of snow. Everything around was white.
Magi cannot penetrate underwater. Therefore, snow and ice made of water also maintained their pure color.
The surrounding climate was noticeably colder than where he lived.
Yes, this is a place Helmut has been to before.
“…is it north?”
It was the last place I stopped by before leaving Pahe Forest.
Kantra will hate it and hate it. I took him there at first, but he came back to me.
Is the timid turtle also under the control of the devil? There was a possibility.
Helmut was alarmed.
‘I need to get out of here quickly.’
Beneath the ice must be the sea. No matter how skilled you are, fighting at sea is on a different level.
A battlefield where you are absolutely at a disadvantage.
‘Luckily he’s at the northern end, and this place… seems a bit far from there.’
If it was near the northern end, the sacred barrier would have been visible or felt with the naked eye.
Of course, if it was before.
But nothing can be known with blurred vision and senses. Where is this place?
‘I don’t think the area near the sacred barrier would have been filled with demon energy like this.’
Helmut walked slowly.
It is difficult to even properly detect someone in such a thick magical energy, as if surrounded by fog.
At that time, a loud noise sounded as if my eardrums were being torn apart.
Piyuuuung!
Bright red fireworks soaring upward dotted the gray sky.
It’s magic. Not too far away.
Helmut immediately kicked the ground and ran. Because I knew that it might summon a monster.
Piyuuuung! Piyuuung! Piyuung!
Fireworks exploded one after another with a loud noise, decorating the sky.
It was like watching a scene from a festival.
Helmut arrived there soon after. Silver hair dyed red was visible.
There are two people with silver hair. But Helmut made the distinction right away. Area was standing there.
“You are the fastest.”
Area greeted him with a smile. Helmut stopped next to her with relief.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, it looks like the temple paid some attention. At least so that I can safely set foot on the ground. “I’m sure everyone arrived safely.”
I reached it by floating in the air, which was not very high. I was safe until the moment I set foot on the floor.
Helmut said.
“It felt like it was split in two in the middle.”
Area responded.
“I felt that way too. Some in the north and some somewhere there. “It would be difficult if they arrived at the center on their own.”
There were three people who first came to Pahe Forest.
It would be fortunate if those three were with the rest. We have shared information about Pahe’s Forest, but it will not be easy to make a judgment in a situation like this where visibility is limited.
I didn’t know that I would become a lost child.
“If you’re a high priest, wouldn’t even monsters avoid it?”
Helmut said hopefully.
Those who don’t even go near the sacred barrier won’t necessarily want to eat food that has divine power.
Area frowned.
“It would be like that under normal circumstances, but if it’s a monster under the control of the Demon King, it might actually attack them.”
“I hope it hasn’t moved to the central region.”
The central area, where the entrance to the Demon World opens, will be teeming with monsters under the Demon King’s control.
They were lucky that they didn’t fall there, but they didn’t know what happened to the others.
Thinking that we would all act together, we selected the best 10 people, but things went smoothly.
Helmut suspected.
“That shock in the middle. “Is it the power of the devil?”
“Perhaps… they must have lost some of their strength because they used the power they would have used to focus on the sacred barrier on us instead.”
“If we get there quickly before he recovers, it will make things easier.”
Area said with a serious face.
“More than that, the two monsters are the problem. “Elaga… doesn’t seem to be around here.”
“Ygrel too.”
If they had seen that flame, the two monsters with their senses still alive in the Forest of Pahe would have rushed here as quickly as possible.
That means neither of them are around here.
Helmut felt the weight of his empty shoulders. Because Elaga was always sitting there.
“It’s a big deal.”
Before leaving, Elaga and Igrel ate a concentrated pill made from Rosetta root and put some in their mouths.
But since I was basically planning to act with them, I won’t have much.
If so, it means they could turn into enemies.
It would be okay for a day or two.
“We have to find them quickly. “Maybe even if we are separated, they will be waiting for us near the central area.”
Helmut asked then.
“But does the scent work? “There are no monsters attacking me.”
“Fragrance just has an awakening effect. “The reason we didn’t attack is because there were no monsters.”
Why are there no monsters? The two met their gazes.
It’s strange. Last time they came to Pahe Forest, they faced numerous attacks from monsters here.
Even though it was flying in the sky, didn’t it crash because of the people attacking it?
The density of monsters was high in the forest of Pahe.
However, Area was also not attacked until Helmut came here.
Despite attracting attention by exploding fireworks in the sky.
“Someone is coming again.”
Helmut gestured in the opposite direction from where I came.
Someone was running hard from the other side. It was Luke Yeager.
When he reached Helmut and Area, he let out a rough breath.
“Ugh.”
Then he asked, putting his hand on the sword as if on guard.
“What are your names?”
“Helmut.”
“Area.”
Each person gave an answer. Only then did Luke Yeager breathe a sigh of relief.
I think I heard somewhere about a monster that mimics its appearance.
“thank god. “I was shocked because I thought I fell alone.”
Falling alone into the deep forest called Magyeong was a chilling experience even for the commander of the Knights of Palma.
I can’t see clearly in the ominous forest of Pahe, so I’m alone.
Fortunately, there was a signal from Area so I was able to get my bearings.
Sweat was beading on his forehead as he ran with his feet on fire in a state of nervousness.
“You’ve been in a bit of trouble from the beginning.”
Helmut answered.
He looked around and opened his mouth.
“This is somewhere in the north. “I don’t think it’s anywhere near the sacred barrier.”
“Then is it okay to move south? “The others.”
“I don’t know where it fell. Then again, what about your tone?”
“Ah, that’s not important right now…”
It seems like he was studying engineering with great care.
Luke Yeager quickly added.
Helmut said coldly.
“Just do what’s comfortable here.”
“That’s right.”
“I need to move first…”
Area looked around.
This place, with only the occasional wind blowing, was so quiet that it seemed as if there were no creatures, let alone monsters.
“It’s strangely quiet. “Without a single monster.”
[Because all the creatures under the water were hibernating.]
Everyone flinched. At once, I got goosebumps.
The voice was coming from the floor.
Under the thick ice they were standing on.
It was only later that they realized that a huge shadow had risen from the bottom of the sea and was shining beyond the ice.
“Kantra.”
Helmut pronounced the name.
It had been a few months since he left Pahe Forest, so it was a quick reunion.
From the perspective of a monster that has lived for a thousand years, it feels like it was deceived.
[I thought I heard a loud noise. Was it you? Why did you invade my territory again? You plan to torment me!]
An enormous amount of demonic energy rose from Kantra’s body.
Damn. Damn it!
The sound of cracks in the ice was heard and the ground shook.
Helmut lowered his voice.
“stop. “We don’t mean to hurt you.”
Then Kantra’s movements stopped.
When Kantra sent him away, Helmut did not harm him and obediently returned as promised.
Although it reappeared, it had a credible record.
[…Then why are you here? Something strange had already dragged my men away.]
A gleam flashed through Area’s eyes. she asked.
“Tell me more about that. “What happened in the Forest of Pahe while we were away?”
