81 – Ellinia (6)
I stared blankly for a moment at the power in both hands.
Why did the spirit power of chaos suddenly reside in my body?
I briefly remembered what happened earlier.
‘Is that so?’
The spirit of chaos that was struggling and making a fuss earlier.
This guy’s power continued to penetrate my hands.
I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but it seems like its power has seeped into my body.
-Wow.
I quickly relaxed my hands.
It is impossible for an ordinary person to adapt with this kind of power.
However, is it because I have trained harder than anyone else so far?
Despite the presence of demonic energy and divinity within the body, there was no significant recoil.
‘Still, I’ll have to check for a few days just in case.’
***
Approximately a few days have passed since the war ended.
Unexpectedly, there were no dead elves.
Well, actually, starting with the Four Heavenly Kings, all of the military commanders died.
For the rest of the miscreants, since the two guys are gone, why not run away quickly?
‘It’s natural that half of the troops disappeared from the beginning and even the most senior officers disappeared.’
In addition, the elf elder and Seria were fine.
For the demons, it would probably be no different from being struck by lightning.
Thinking like that, I sat cross-legged for a moment.
“Are you okay?”
At some point, Seria approaches and asks a question.
I nodded at that question.
“Oh, I don’t think there’s any problem.”
“I’m sorry. Professor.”
Elaine lowers her head with a face full of worry.
It seems he thought he had caused quite a nuisance.
‘Actually, it’s more interesting from my perspective.’
Normally, this would be an uproar, but for me, it was like an opportunity to grow even more.
In fact, recently, growth has been blocked and there is no way to become stronger.
However, thanks to the spirit of chaos, it is now possible to deal with divinity and magic.
‘It’s infinitely small compared to magical power.’
Nevertheless, if you adapt and train yourself, you will be able to become much stronger than before.
That time when I smiled with satisfaction at the growth I felt for the first time in a long time.
“Why are you smiling so creepy?”
Seria asks while stroking her forearm.
It looks like I’ve been showing my likes too openly.
I quickly cleared my throat and then changed the subject.
“Hmm. More than that, Elaine, what about you?”
“Ah, I can now control it to some extent!”
She summons her chaos spirit with a happy smile.
Soon, Elaine exudes her divinity.
-Woah!
A spirit of chaos who is quite quiet despite using divinity.
The power is much reduced compared to before, but it doesn’t seem to be a lie that it can still be controlled to some extent.
“To what extent is control possible?”
“Well, about 20% is the limit.”
“As expected, it’s still disappointing.”
“It’s a shame, but what’s the regret? “What can handle something like that?”
Ceria, who was next to her, tapped her side with her elbow and tackled her.
Soon, she continues her words.
“Compared to that, I don’t have any real advantages.”
“That’s not it.”
“Huh?”
“You also have as much potential as Elaine.”
“Uh, huh. Thank you.”
Perhaps because of the sudden praise, Seria’s face turns red.
Elaine, looking at that scene, opens her eyes wide.
Not only that, but a shallow demonic energy stirs in her body.
“Calm down.”
“Ah! Sorry!”
She immediately hands over her apple and collects the magic energy.
It seems that strength appears according to her spirit.
‘Hmm, I guess I’ll have to go with you for a while.’
While I was thinking that, Elaine next to her asked a question.
“But Professor.”
“Hmm?”
“Where are you going this time? “My father said he was leaving tomorrow.”
“Okay. “I plan to go to the natural forest tomorrow.”
“”?!””
The two people’s eyes widen at those words.
It’s not unreasonable to be so surprised.
The Great Nature Forest refers to the continent opposite to this Elven Forest.
Although it is handled by people, it is known to be an almost closed place.
‘At least some people do come out.’
For example, Urf, a great warrior.
It can be said that only the leader of the great natural forest and a few warriors come out.
Dab is included among them.
“Is there a way to get there? “I understand that outsiders are not allowed in?”
“Okay. There is.”
I nodded my head in response to Seria’s question.
Soon, she took out her necklace from her subspace pocket.
“Huh? That?”
“Okay. “It’s something I received separately a long time ago.”
A necklace marked with leaves.
You can literally think of it as a pass that allows you to enter the great natural forest.
“Where on earth did that come from?”
“I once received something in return for saving you.”
“They say it’s really hard to find, but I managed to get it.”
As she said that, she started packing her luggage.
I tilted her head as I looked at her.
“Hmm? “Why are you packing your bags?”
“Huh? “Of course we should go together.”
“What?”
“So, were you planning on going alone?”
To that question, I nodded her head without a moment of hesitation.
Then, looking at me like that, Elaine and Seria look at me with cold eyes.
“Why go alone? Why go alone! Just looking at it, you’re going there because of that sealed door, right?!”
“Okay. Yes.”
“Then you should never go alone!”
“That’s right! Professor!”
Elaine nods her head vigorously as if agreeing with Ceria’s words.
Then, Elaine adds her explanation.
“The Demon King’s army came here because of the seal, and I think the Demon King’s army will leave it there too! In times like this, you should go with someone who can help you more!”
“Hmm.”
Originally, those words would have passed through one ear.
However, my thoughts changed a little because of something that happened a few days ago.
Originally, I thought I could handle it on my own.
However, what I have felt recently is that I don’t know everything about the world.
‘Seria is fine, but Elaine…’
I looked at Elaine quietly.

Originally I would have left it behind, but the problem is the spirit of chaos.
‘It won’t be bad.’
If she is stronger than before, she will not be of any help.
After gathering my thoughts at once, I lowered my head and opened my mouth.
“Then get ready quickly.”
“I understand!”
“Yes!”
After I finished speaking, they began to move hurriedly.
I looked at the dry sky and muttered quietly.
“I have to hope that something doesn’t happen.”
***
Same time.
The Earth Mother Goddess, who is called a god in the great natural forest.
She slowly looked around her.
These people leisurely spend their daily lives as usual.
Just looking at this, it looks peaceful.
The Earth Mother turned her head with a wry smile.
She then looks at Udyr, who is in prison and covered in blood, and she says,
“Okay. “I wonder if your son actually escaped from this forest.”
With those words, the Earth Mother quietly looked at the unlocked door to the other world.
***
Before she left the elven forest, she was seen off by an elven elder.
The elf elder holds out his hand with a wrinkled smile.
“Thank you for your help.”
“No. “It’s natural to help people who need help.”
“Hmm. “I’m more worried than that.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you say that your destination was a natural forest?”
“Yes, I did.”
I nodded my head at that question.
Then, he touches the stubble on his chin and lets out a shallow breath.
“Whoa. I tried to contact Udyr just in case, but he didn’t answer. Well, he’s not usually good at receiving communication, but something happened recently.”
“Well, you’ll find out when you go.”
“Okay. I guess I hope nothing happens. “Please make sure the other two do not cause any harm to the Archmage.”
“Hmph. “That won’t happen, so don’t worry.”
“I understand, father!”
Unlike Elaine, Ceria snorted and turned her head at the elf elder’s words.
It seems like our relationship is not that good yet.
“Then let’s go.”
With those words, we left the forest, being seen off by the elves.
The next moment, Elaine next to me asks.
“But how are we going to get there? “I think it’s going to be really late to go on foot, right?”
“I plan to stop by the royal capital first.”
“Yes?”
Elaine made a puzzled expression at that question.
I ignored her reaction and looked around at her head.
Then, he placed both palms close to the floor.
-Kugugu goong!
In an instant, a gate appeared in front of my eyes.
Elain and Seria are shocked when they see that.
“What? Gate?”
“Why does the gate come out of the ground?!”
“It was secretly installed in several places in the past. “React only to my magic.”
At those words, the two people smile absurdly.
Soon, Elaine makes a puzzled expression.
“But if it continues like this, will it stay like this?”
“No. “My magic power is cut off and I return to the ground.”
“When I think about it that way, it makes sense. “Why haven’t I been caught until now?”
“Let’s go inside now.”
With those last words, we entered the gate.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
The place we arrived was none other than my room.
“Kael, I think you need to tidy up your room.”
“It’s a bit… No, it’s very messy. Professor.”
They shake their heads as they look at my room.
The floor is covered with books, so I have nothing to say in response.
I tried my best to ignore their words and go outside.
But at that moment.
-Talk! Tap!
A bird made of magic knocks on the window.
This is a communication usually used by warriors in nature’s forests.
Why did it come here?
I opened the window with doubts in mind.
Then, he unfolded the paper tied to the bird’s ankle.
Then, I opened my eyes without realizing it at the contents of the letter.
“What?!”
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s going on? Professor?”
“They say Dav is lying injured in the academy’s health room.”
“”?!””
It seems that the two people also realized that something unusual had happened.
I think I need to get a proper explanation from Dab about what happened.
