Ashhel was waiting in front of the cave, vigilantly waiting at the command of the 7th lord.
She stood with her hand on the hilt of her sword, staring intently into the cave.
How does the 7th lord come to know these places every time? And what are you going to do inside?
‘······Useless thoughts.’
She brushed off her curiosity and refocused her attention.
Although his name is an escort, he has always been of no help in battles with powerful enemies he has met.
At least, so as not to interfere with what he was doing, as much as preventing monsters from entering the cave would have to be done properly.
“···········?”
Ashel, who had stood like a stone statue for such a long time, suddenly recognized a sense of alienation.
It was because the fog around it seemed to have gotten a little thicker.
An instinctive feeling of discomfort that creeps up.
Her hand, which was about to draw the sword, with her forehead narrowed, stiffened.
Then, slowly, his eyes closed, and he staggered dangerously and fell to the floor.
self.
In the place where she fell, a disgustingly tangled plant stem appeared.
The stems wrapped around her crawled on the ground and disappeared somewhere in an instant.
***
“···········?”
I came out of the cave in thought and looked around me with puzzled eyes.
It was because for some reason the figure of Ashel was nowhere to be seen.
I stood with my arms crossed and waited, wondering if I had gone to see her in a hurry, but she did not appear even after waiting for a long time.
“············”.
I looked around again with a hardened face.
what?
Where did you suddenly evaporate again?
Hallumenta (3)
In the middle of a dark forest, a pair of men and women are sitting in front of a bonfire.
A man with various weapons on his waist and a woman in a thin robe.
Next to them lay the corpse of a giant wolf that had been mutilated and dead.
As if familiar with the dagger, the woman smeared the monster’s flesh and put it on the fire, whistling and waiting for the meat to be cooked.
“Just because it’s a monster of the Magic Kingdom doesn’t mean that you will die if you eat it all. On the contrary, some people say it tastes much better than the meat of ordinary animals.”
The man did not respond to the woman’s words. He just stared at the burning dissatisfaction.
She clicked her tongue and fumbled through the meat skewers.
“So, you’ve come all the way to the central area, what are you going to do from now on?”
“I need to find him.”
“So, what’s the detailed plan? You’ve been keeping your mouth shut all the way here.”
“There is no such thing. Search all of Hallumenta to find him and kill him. That’s all.”
The woman sighed in response to the man’s ignorant answer.
“I told you, what kind of place is the Demon Sacred? He could have been eaten by a stronger monster by now? So what?”
“If you’re going to keep meddling like that, I would have told you not to follow me.”
She narrowed her brow in dissatisfaction.
“Did I tell you not to talk like that?”
“············”.
“Rand was a precious colleague who was like family to me. The older brother said he would get revenge on his younger brother and that he would wander around without a promise, so how can I not interfere?”
“It’s useless worrying. I’m a lot stronger than you think.”
“Yeah, it’s okay. You’re right. You’re the infamous Barcato ranger, can an adventurer like me dare to compare? You have to lead the way and work hard on grilling meat.”
The woman nervously rummaged through the meat.
The man glanced at the scene and said,
“··········It was you who left the food and went out to bake monsters.”
“Who says what?”
“If you have anything to do, tell me.”
“No. I’ll eat it once it’s all baked.”
She smiled inwardly as she spoke bluntly.
Although their personalities are completely opposite, the reason why they have a soft heart is because the brothers are so alike.
Crung!
While the meat was cooking, the bushes shook and the monsters appeared again.
It was a huge scorpion, a six-legged crocodile, and a deer with ferocious horns. A bizarre, unpredictable combination.
Unlike the woman who grabbed the staff that had been laid down next to her with a nervous face, the man drew a single dagger from his waist.
Push!
A dagger shot like a beam of light first pierced the deer’s forehead.
Then, a man with a long sword flew and rushed towards the scorpion. On the blade of the sword, a dark blue light was formed.
He held up his poison stinger, avoiding the tail that was swung, and swung his sword to cut it in half.
The man slashed the body of the writhing scorpion, then cut off the head in an instant, killing him.
wow!
The crocodile jumped up from the side and bit only the pitiful air.
It was a surprise attack, but the man had already landed on the ground and leapt into the air.
Then he slammed on a wooden pole and was shot straight down again, then fell to the crocodile and pierced his head.
“········hey.”
The woman looked at the man who killed the three in an instant and leisurely picked up his sword, dazzled by it for a moment.
It was simply over with no room for help. His skills were experienced enough while coming here, but every time I saw him, I was amazed.
“You see these guys often.”
The man glanced around at the dead monsters and said.
Deer, crocodiles and scorpions. A bunch of people who don’t know what kind of combination it is.
“Are the monsters in the Demon City like this?”
“No, it can’t be. They’re just weird.”
The woman who said that also looked at their bodies with strange eyes.
The magic scene is a place beyond common sense, and it is a daily routine to face various incomprehensible things.
But if it happened over and over again, not just once or twice, I couldn’t help but be concerned.
I came across a bunch of monsters like this all the way here.
She went on without thinking deeply so far, but she also felt a sense of wonder and strangeness.
profit!
When I lifted my head, there was a bird in the sky spinning around me, making an eerie cry.
She looked at it for a moment, then turned her attention back to the meat.
While processing the monsters, the meat seemed already cooked.
***
It is difficult.
This was even more so because I had never imagined such a case before.
Ashel came out of the cave and disappeared without a trace. Then the horses disappeared.
While in the cave, I had no idea what was going on outside.
“What is it, the hell…?”
Have you ever been attacked by a monster?
That was the only possibility that came to mind.
She wouldn’t have disobeyed my orders unless something unavoidable happened.
But if you were really attacked, who was it?
First of all, no matter how magical this place is, the only monsters that can overwhelm her are named bosses.
And if there was a battle with those strong enough, no matter how deep I was in the cave, I would have noticed it with my supersensory…
‘It’s strange.’
Anyway, something was strange.
I turned my head to look up at the top of the rock tower, and then used a series of space leaps to climb to the top in an instant.
From such a high place, I looked around at the panoramic view of Magyeong.
The road we passed in the front, the forest to the left, and the plain to the right and back.
Of course, even if I looked through every detail with my vision enhanced as much as possible, I couldn’t even see the appearance of Ashel’s nose.
I slumped to the floor, scratching my head.
Suddenly, there was a ripping sound from somewhere, and a huge monster flew over here.
He was still nervous, but he nervously shot drops of blood at the man who was attacking him. The guy who flew with great momentum fell straight down.
I looked at the guy falling to the floor, then got up again and went down the rock.
Still, if you look around the traces, you might be able to tell something.
‘This is where I stood.’
Starting from the spot where Ashel was standing, I thoroughly scanned the traces around her.
There were no footprints left as it was a hard stone floor, but I did not miss a single trace by raising my super senses as much as possible.
And, soon after, I discovered that there were faint traces of something on the ground.
‘······what’s this?’
Traces of something messed up.
I used my imagination, but I couldn’t figure out more than that. Because the traces were too faint.
But I could tell where it went.
I turned my gaze towards the trail. It was in the direction of the forest.
“············”.
I used my imagination again.
The only traces that can be found on the floor are these scratches, and nothing else.
First of all, the owner of this mysterious trail was probably not a huge guy.
Then the ground must have been dug a little because of the weight, because there would be no traces of this kind.
‘Something light, not too big.’
Something like that attacked Ashel and dragged her into the woods? No, is it correct that you dragged me?
I do not know. But now that Ashel is gone, I can only think in that direction.
I thought of the named bosses that inhabit Hallumenta.
They were all as big as a mountain, so it was not right for them to have something that attacked Ashel.
I walked slowly.
In the end, I don’t know what it was, but all I could do was follow the trail.
It’s Achel and nobody else. I had to find out at any cost.
Fortunately, there were no bloodstains. I moved towards the forest hoping that she was still alive.
Starting from the forest, the traces were much clearer because the ground was soil.
I thought it might be a monster with many legs like a centipede, but looking at the traces, it wasn’t.
It’s like, what should I say… Tentacles?
It was like a tangled tentacle crawling on the floor, and I wondered if this kind of trace would be created.
crumble.
【Lv. 56]
As I continued to pursue the trail, a monster came out through the bushes.
It was a huge deer whose horns on its forehead resembled a devil.
He looked at me and ate again, then lowered his head and scratched the floor with his front paws. It looked like it was getting ready for a rush.
He stretched out his fingers and tried to shoot drops of blood, but at that moment, the floor he was standing on vibrated.
“···········?”
What else is this?
A completely unexpected scene unfolded before my eyes.
Whoops!
Suddenly, a huge hand protruding through the ground grabbed the body of the deer and crushed it.
The sound of cracking flesh and crumbling bones. It was crushed to the ground like a rotten fruit and died a terrible death.
Then, the whole ground in front turned over, and the owner of the hand buried under it slowly raised the body.
【Lv. 82]
A bear that was as huge as the Belvagora he had encountered before in the Luthers Mountains.
I blinked my eyes and stared at him.
‘·······Vulcantier?’
One of the named bosses inhabiting Helumenta that I know of.
Truly, the man who suddenly jumped out of the ground was so buried that a tree was growing on his back.
I muttered out of embarrassment.
“Have you been sleeping any winter?”
Vulcantier shook her body and brushed away the grass and trees growing on her back.
It was so large that it was like dusting off the trees.
Crung!
Before long, it shone with a reddish glow in his eyes and radiated ferocity from his entire body, as if he would tear me to death at any moment.
He stretched out his fingers to put him back to sleep, as if he had just woken up from a long sleep.
At that moment, a voice came from the other side.
“·············Back back!”
Then, a huge flame flew in and hit Vulcantier’s body.
When I turned my head, I saw two men and women. Person?
【Lv. 73]
The man who was hit by the fire lost his mind for a moment, and then a man who came close to me pushed me away.
“If you’re disturbed, get out.”
Then, without listening to my words, he threw himself at the Vulcantier, and he came close and launched a slash of swords.
However, he couldn’t tear off his tough skin and ended up scratching it all.
Soon he regained his senses, let out an angry roar and swung his gigantic front paws violently.
