Episode 54

“Hurry up, over there! Go over there!”

Allen forgot that there were other people and answered with a voice. Because she was so unexpected.

“Confucius, do you have any problems?”

When Allen suddenly stopped talking, the knight looked at him with a puzzled face. Allen shook his head and answered quickly.

“I was looking through the forest by magic. Could you please be quiet for a moment to focus?”

The knight immediately shut his mouth at those words. Allen no longer cared about them and focused on Bestla.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard her talk was one thing.

‘why?’

Not about acting as she said, but about why she spoke.

The reason she kept her mouth shut when there were other people and when talking to someone was simple.

Because there was no other way to talk to Bestla.

If you are talking with other people and the conversation gets mixed up, it was just a perfect figure for others to call you a psychopath.

So Allen made a promise to her.

To remain silent in front of others.

“I’ll tell you everything later! Please go over there!”

Therefore, the unwritten rule that has been kept.

“Hurry up!”

It was broken at this moment.

“Can’t you just listen to me once?”

She tried to get out of her hand, as if she would go alone if Allen didn’t move.

Allen opened her mouth by tapping the rattling handle a couple of times before she really left.

“Everyone, follow me.”

The eyes of the knights waiting for his words turned to him.

“Did you find something?”

“Yeah, looking at the magic… , there are a few things that take.”

“Oh oh… !”

The knights were ignorant of magic, so they agreed with him, and Bestlado became calm when Allen showed signs of moving.

“I will tell you everything later. So for now, please follow my instructions.”

No, it would be correct to say that the specimen remained still and the mouth changed more actively.

“First, go to the place where the pointed tree is over there.”

Allen quietly nodded, moving in the direction the sword hilt was pointing.

After that, the knights shouted loudly and the soldiers followed.

“Everyone go! Everyone, don’t let your guard down!”

“Yes! All right!”

The search for the forest began.

Allen slashed his sword at the monster that rushed towards him. Her swordsmanship filled with her might, split her two-headed orc’s body in half.

As soon as the seal was signed, the head of Gnoll, who was running close, exploded in a shock wave, scattering fragments.

After entering the forest under Bestla’s guidance, monsters began to attack, as Allen expected.

‘Were you all here as well?’

Allen wiped the blood and looked at the situation.

“Block the back!”

“Do not scatter the ranks!

“Hold on! The knights are behind you!”

The situation wasn’t bad.

The soldiers stood still and calmly defended the attack, and whenever there was danger, the waiting knights rushed in, and the monsters could not keep up.

As expected, all the monsters were cleared up soon after, and there were no casualties.

“Four wounded! No casualties! All of them are minor injuries, so the battle can continue!”

“Clean up quickly!”

So Allen went deeper again, following Bestla’s guidance.

“Slightly to the right of the pit ahead!”

The monsters kept attacking.

Chimeras, undead, greenskins and even monstrous beasts.

“Ignore the pile of rocks in front of you, and just go up!”

In the forest that had begun to become demon-hardened, the faint smell of sulfur began to thicken enough to sting your nose, and monsters with bizarre twists such as stretched legs and running tentacles appeared.

As Allen went deeper, he began to feel a sense of incongruity.

‘The monsters… .’

As we got closer to our destination, the frequency of raids began to decrease.

It was too late to notice because it gradually decreased, but at some point the frequency of the monsters’ appearance decreased.

There were signs of reassurance that the soldiers felt it too, but Allen raised the tension again.

‘It’s only this much?’

The incident he remembered, except for the fallen divine beast, had the power to deal with the countess.

I mean, it wasn’t a job that was easy enough to get rid of without any casualties.

Allen fell deeper and deeper in thought.

‘Except for the divine beast, the current force is sufficient. But were you this weak?’

In the meantime, the party proceeded towards their destination according to Bestla’s guidance.

The rotten me vibrates through the twisted trees.

Mushrooms flew from the floor with their forked snouts, and the knights shuddered at the muddy morale that grew stronger as they headed towards their destination.

‘It’s like enticing… .’

Just when Allen was vaguely predicting the enemy’s intentions, Bestla exclaimed.

“This is the front!”

have you already arrived?

Allen stopped thinking at her words and lifted his head. There was a vacant lot that had turned into a swampy field as if it had been forcibly destroyed by something.

Around it, a building that was clearly artificially made appeared.

And in the middle of that vacant lot.

“Grump-.”

A monster with a gigantic size of 5m, bulging muscles and six arms, no.

“Hey, it’s a giant!”

The giant roared loudly, exposing his hideous bones all sewn with thread.

“That-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!”

The forest rumbled, birds flew, and the soldier who shouted a giant covered his mouth with a terrified face. As the knights rushed to the giant, the giant also began to rush to the knights.

through the confusion.

As if facing the impossible, Bestla let out a devastating exclamation.

Julius made his way through the forest of divine beasts with unstoppable footsteps.

There was no hesitation in his steps, only confidence was on his face.

“… Confucius, do you know where you are going?”

Camilla, who had been sitting next to him at his invitation, asked him with a worried look on his face.

Others didn’t say anything, but his appearance as if he knew a clear destination was full of curiosity.

“You mean you know where your enemies are… ?”

She looked at him with a suspicious look.

[Stop the warlock trying to corrupt the divine beast, and save the divine beast within the time limit! Timeout: 0:4:11]

[Reward: Favor of the Goddess, ???]

It was natural. Because I learned everything through the quest. But I can’t answer that way.

Julius brought out the convenient excuses he had always brought up.

“Yeah, I got information about the Forest of Divine Beasts from the mansion’s library.”

“Oh oh! Also, Confucius!”

“You are thorough as well, Master Julius!”

The other knights became hesitant at his answer, and Camilla, too, began to stand out in a different way from his wretched enemy.

“So, don’t worry. At least you won’t get lost.”

Julius muttered to himself as he listened to their praise.

‘Map open.’

When I turned my gaze to the air, I saw a new system [map] opened a few days ago.

On the compass-shaped radar, red dots presumed to be the location of the warlock were gathered in front.

“If the monsters don’t block the way, maybe 30 minutes? But everyone, don’t slow down.”

Perhaps it was strange to see him like that, Camilla murmured a little.

“… You are well prepared.”

“Are you thinking of going downstairs now?”

“… Let’s think a little more.”

Julius took advantage of the opportunity to invite him once more, but Camilla refused like a sword. However, she was weaker than before.

‘I can recommend a little more.’

It would have been easier to convince with Byron or Anya.

I couldn’t bring the two of them together because they had something to do with them. Only his maid, Reina, followed like a shadow, but Julius was not nervous.

‘This job is simple.’

If I came alone, I don’t know, there are soldiers and knights, and even the knights commander.

Julius, who had witnessed the strike of the Knights Commander right before his eyes, did not even have any doubts that this was going to end smoothly.

Know who your enemies are.

He knows what to plan, and he knows what to do.

There are also knights commanders who have not seen it in the novel, but are sufficiently strong.

Finally, it is full of the power of purification, and even his brain attribute magic, which is opposite to black magic.

It would be strange to fail at this point.

‘I need to hold the hidden boss and strengthen [Rainbow Magic Eye (S)].’

The distance is short, so I hope the monsters don’t come out.

Did his thoughts become seeds?

Hwi Woong!

Suddenly, something popped out from the side.

I twisted my body according to my instinct. Gnoll’s snout, ferociously showing his teeth, brushed against his side. As soon as he slashed his sword, his head rolled on the floor without a chance to escape.

“young master!”

As I bowed my head at the knight’s cry, a steel bird fell from the floor with a squeaking sound.

“It’s an attack! Everyone get ready!”

“Sir! Birds in the sky… !”

As I looked up at the sky, silver-gray birds fell down, dyeing their eyes red.

“I’ll take care of it!”

Julius immediately generated magical power.

Dark blue brain energy flows through the sword. Dodging the flying bird, he flew his sword, and a shattering electric current covered the sky.

hey hey-

After screaming for a while, the flock fell to the floor without even being able to stand for a moment.

patter-

“Master, are you okay?”

“I am fine. How about the soldiers?”

“Thanks to Confucius’ quick judgment, the damage is small.”

When he turned his head, the soldiers with calm faces were blocking the monsters from the left and right.

“Confucius, then I will go to help… .”

After confirming that Julius was safe, Camilla quickly turned around and tried to move towards the monster that was aiming for the soldiers.

If it wasn’t for the hand holding his shoulder.

“What are you doing!”

“Do you need more support?”

“Of course we need more… .”

When she quickly turned her eyes away, the monsters she was aiming for had already become flesh and were rolling on the floor.

Most of the monsters that had already gathered around could not withstand the strike of the Knights Commander and were being quickly cleaned up.

“Do you think the knight commander will take care of everything?”

“… I will still have work to do.”

Ignoring Julius’s insistence, she moved to clean up the remaining monsters. She said that was her job.

“To be savvy.”

So I’d like to bring it in.

It doesn’t matter how much the extra’s life is lost to him, but it’s a different matter for her.

‘Are you still a colleague?’

Julius shrugged and checked the map.

It was because there was not much left until he faced the Warlock.

But the map was weird.

“Why is there a red dot right next to it… .”

“-die.”

I had goosebumps on my skin. I was a little slow to react to the sudden event. Why are they here? Why did you suddenly move? The thoughts flowed slowly.

‘If it’s like this, you’ll be right first.’

I bent my body as far as I could. A deep blue electric current covered the body in an instant, and the sword was raised at an angle. However, it is too late for this. If I had found it first, I wouldn’t have been pushed back.

‘… You are really behind.’

Julius’s eyes filled with anger turned towards the attacker.

That’s when the dark-colored greatsword was about to rip his head apart at any moment.

A new type of white light was struck by a black sword.

“… Step back, Confucius.”

“It’s a shame.”

“Chew… !”

Julius wiped away the cold sweat and quickly retreated behind the knight commander.

Seeing him being attacked, the knights rushed to Julius’s side.

“Any injuries to your body… .”

Julius did not listen to their words.

The back was cold. When I hurriedly looked at the map again in an anxious mind, red dots were approaching this place at a fast speed.

“Oh shit!”

“Confucius, what suddenly… !”

Just as the knights were startled by his swear words, black fireballs began to fly from the sky along with the cry of the rough ground.

Gugugugugugu-

“Everyone in line! The Warlocks are coming!”

The soldiers and knights who had been hesitant in the sudden situation woke up to his call.

“Stop them!”

“Kill them all! Warlocks!”

Monsters were pouring down from all directions, and all the red dots in front of them gathered. Curse and black magic fell from the sky, and the unidentified black knight and the knight commander collided.

“Pour everything!”

“For Him!”

“Dedicate your life!”

Julius cut Durahan’s body in half as he approached him and smashed his brain.

Things started to get weird.

Natasha sneered slightly as she heard the riot coming from the forest.

“Princess, supporting them is… .”

“That’s Okay. Jane. They haven’t even used the seeds yet?”

I don’t know if it was because she couldn’t use it because of an emergency, or if she didn’t intend to use it, but Natasha didn’t intend to move until they gave her a signal.

‘No, even if you give me a signal.’

If it’s a strength that can’t win a single battle, there’s no point in coming to support them.

“Remember. Jane. Our purpose is to retrieve the young Shinsoo-nim.”

“sorry. It was a lie.”

“it’s okay. They also had strong enough power, so they will solve such a threat on their own. We… .”

As she turned her eyes, she saw dozens of elves concentrating on the back of the person in front of her.

“It is more important to find the location of the new beast than to kill a single warlock.”

Above the elves’ heads, a small human figure resonated with something, howled silently, and then pointed in a certain direction.

“Anyway, thanks to them, the enemy’s power has decreased… .”

You should thank them later.

Natasha stepped on a branch, erasing the face of Julius that came to mind for a moment.

“Go. before it’s too late.”

“Yes, princess.”

As she headed in the direction presumed to be where the divine beast was, dozens of elves behind her silently walked through the trees.
