6 Black Forest (5)
Flosimar Chronicles.
It was a strange book with the title Chronicle written on the subject of the hero’s biography.
And just like the title, Plosimar Chronicle describes in detail various events that took place in the world in the text, starting even before the hero was born.
So Zion was also able to take advantage of it.
However, such a chronicle also did not contain all the contents.
Like what happened a while ago.
‘ Is the content changed because of my intervention?’
After thinking about it for a moment, Shion shook her head.
Because he hasn’t had any effect on the Black Forest yet.
Rather than that, it was correct to say that the seal had been released from the beginning.
‘ Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.’
With that thought, Zion moved slowly.
The red-eyed woman who disappeared a while ago warned that she would die if she came to the forest, but Zion had no intention of listening to her.
Even the woman must know that Zion can’t hear her.
What I said a while ago was probably from a simple whim.
“ Me.”
After walking for a while, Shion opened her mouth slightly, looking at the trees in the garden.
“ No, how do you know?”
As if he had made a promise, Narie, an elite informant of the information guild ‘Moon Eyes’, popped out of the shadow of a tree and asked in a tone of incomprehension.
Although she was not close with all the guards of the lord’s castle, it was the woman who deceived even the senses of the seven girls.
But I couldn’t figure out why he was all caught up with that man.
“ Did you bring it?”
Shion immediately turned to her as if she had no intention of answering such a question.
At that, Narie took out a small pocket from her arms and handed it to Shion.
“ This is the first-class wine cellar you ordered. If the recorded spell is perfect and it is not locked, you can move it just by touching it. Since it is a very difficult item to obtain in a short time, an additional fee will be charged. But where did you tell me to bring this to use?”
“ Submission.”
“ Yes? What is surrender? … .”
She returned with her characteristic blank eyes and asked Shion, but there was no answer.
“ Ehh… … what do you report… … .”
A sigh escaped Narie’s mouth as she looked at Shion’s back, which was getting farther away.
* * *
The preparations for subjugation of the Black Forest proceeded in an instant.
Because he had already received approval from the Lord of Ruin, and there was no one in the city who dared to block Lane Dranir’s progress.
In addition, most of the subjugation members were friends with her, and there was not much to prepare because they were a small number in the first place.
And finally, the day of the purification ceremony to decorate the end of the purification agent.
Shion was able to stand in front of the secret road leading to the Black Forest from the lord’s castle along with the subjugation squad, including Lane Dranir.
‘ It’s really dark.’
It was Sion’s impression of seeing the Black Forest for the first time through the secret road.
From the soil on the floor, to the trees and grass that grew out of the soil, and even the rolling gravel.
Everything was black.
It’s like absorbing all the light around you.
So, in a way, the Black Forest itself seemed to be a huge hole.
Just looking at it makes me feel repulsed.
In addition, the gigantic musical instrument felt from the forest gave me goosebumps.
“… … How was this not known to people until now?”
In front of him, the flash sword Hart muttered with his slightly tired eyes.
“ I think this should be enough to subdue the Empire rather than the city.”
“ Uh-huh, so are you going back?”
“ Yeah, you go. You bastard.”
Shion glanced at the Chil-Girls who were playing pranks on each other, whether they were trying to relax.
Even after ignoring Zion himself since the last meeting, no one quarreled with him.
Even though Lane didn’t give a good reason.
It was a passage that showed how much they trusted her.
Only Kyla, the only one who joined late, was still suspicious of Shion.
Even now, as soon as their eyes meet, they spread out two fingers and point to their own eyes and Zion.
When Shion turns his head with a grin at him.
“ I’m going right in.”
A low voice came out of Lane’s mouth as she looked towards the Black Forest with her sunken eyes.
‘ The instrument is stronger than before.’
I didn’t know what was going on inside, but I couldn’t delay any longer.
“ Are you going to break through in a straight line as planned?”
“ Yeah. But before that… … .”
Laughing at Rihanna’s question, Lane raised her spear.
“I have to say goodbye.”
Gripping support!
With those words, a huge thunderbolt erupted around her.
As a result, the surroundings turned blue, and in that space, Lane stretched out one foot wide, bent her knee, and pulled the hand holding the spear all the way backwards as if pulling a bowstring.
All the lightning bolts around her began to gather at the tip of her spear, who became such a perfect javelin.
Dedede!
A screaming atmosphere, unable to withstand the power of a terrifying thunderbolt condensed into a single point.
The moment when people who were looking at it covered their eyes with their hands because of the tremendous light emitted from it.
Lane’s spear was shot.
A line of lightning drawn from her hand over the Black Forest.
After a silence that was shorter than an instant.
Soo much
A chain of explosions occurred along the lightning bolt drawn like a fuse, and the forest began to split in two.
What if a dragon breathes out like this?
Truly a blow like the dragon of the future.
“ Ugh! It’s okay to say hello.”
When an exclamation of astonishment and admiration flowed from the mouth of the red walled Ragno, who was watching the scene from behind.
“ Go in.”
Break up!
Along with the thunderbolt, a new type of Lane was shot into the open black forest.
“I ’m going ahead again.”
ride it!
The subjugation team quickly followed her.
The speed was difficult for ordinary people to even follow, but none of them uttered a sound of pain.
If it had not been able to keep up with this level, it would not have been possible to even become a member of the subjugation squad in the first place.
How long did you run through the forest like that?
Slowly, the road that Lane had drilled was about to come to an end.
Crook!
The forest in front roared with a strange sound.
Soon, it spewed out two monstrous creatures resembling wolves, but with more bizarre shapes.
handshake.

Monsters that only appear in the Black Forest, each with abilities that far exceed those of ordinary monsters.
Kia ah!
Those handshakes rushed at such a speed that they were blurry to the eye, and they reached right in front of Lane in an instant.
Soon after, those handshakes were about to bite Lane’s whole body.
“ Don’t go ahead.”
Quang!
Ragno, who came out from behind her with a harsh voice, bounced back all the handshakes.
His full body tattoo, which suddenly glows red.
“ My seat is in the front.”
It was a look that suited the appearance of the red wall.
And before the handshakes that bounced off like that fell to the ground.
Suga Gaga!
A silver flash flew from the air.
Handshakes cut into pieces by such a flash of light.
Soon after, in the spot where the fragmented corpses of the handshakes fell, Hart with a crescent-shaped twin sword was standing there.
At the same time, the forward speed does not decrease at all.
But that seems to be just the beginning.
Crack, crook!
Dozens of handshakes erupted from the forest on both sides at the same time along with the continuous sound.
A full-fledged battle begins with him.
Whoa ah ah ah!
As if it were a chlorinated wizard, the flames of blue flames blazing along with Kyla’s gestures spread through the air and swept all the handshakes around them.
Kia aah!
As if receiving the protection of the Black Forest, the handshakes continue to move even after receiving the flame that melts even iron.
“ Kyla, behind me.”
However, as expected, the middle-aged knight standing next to Kyla swung the halberd heavily.
Quazy!
The handshakes on Halberd’s Day are literally crushed.

Meanwhile, the handshakes rushing from the other side were also being slashed by Lian, who was right next to Lane, and a scarred fairy mercenary using a strange swordsmanship.
Was it true that they had been best friends since childhood?
The subjugation squad, especially the Chil-geols, seemed to have been practicing even though they didn’t say anything.
‘ When?’
As the subjugation team ripped apart the handshakes, Shion was waiting for something while scanning the forest from behind.
This ‘Black Forest’ was very strange.
It constantly fluctuates and moves as if the entire forest was a single living thing.
As proof of that, the road that Lane Dranir had drilled a while ago was filled to the extent that there was no trace of it.
And Zion’s waiting was also related to this.
at that time.
Kirk!
A large handshake resembling a bat was shot towards Zion among the trees in the forest where even light did not enter.
A handshake that rushes at a speed that cannot be compared with the handshake that has been held in the past.
It was so fast that even the Scar Fairy nearby couldn’t react properly.
As if he had already known, Shion took a step to the side and avoided the attack.
Then, Shion grabbed the air behind the handshake that passed by.
That moment.
sucks.
Like a doll with a broken thread, the handshake stopped and fell to the ground.
Without even looking at the corpse of such a handshake, Shion picked up the Heukseongha that was hovering in her hand.
Every handshake that exists in this forest is connected with the ‘evil’ at the center.
Therefore, these low-level handshakes could be easily dealt with by severing the connection with ‘evil’ with Heukseongha, the power that denies everything.
‘ It will be difficult if you enter the heart of the forest.’
at that time.
“ What, you… … How did you do that?”
Kyla, who witnessed the scene, looked at Shion and asked.
It has been proven that Zion is doing her part, but her suspicions have grown stronger.
Just because it was never the normal way.
“ I asked how you did it… … .”
It was the moment when Kyla opened her mouth once more to Shion, who ignored her question.
aah!
A gigantic handshake erupted from the front, along with a roar that resonated throughout the forest.
A body covered in jet-black hair with bipedal walking.
From its pointed snout to the serrated teeth full of teeth.
Surely it was because he approached the heart of the forest?
From the predecessor of the handshake, a creepy instrument that was different from the handshakes that had been held before was flowing out.
“ Have a shelf.”
As Lane quietly gave instructions to him with sunken eyes.
Quad Duck!
As if that was not the end, the forest shook and the ground began to shake.
No, it wasn’t just fluctuating, the forest itself was changing.
A black tree grows from the bare ground and the ground moves.
As a result, the space was divided, split, and turned upside down.
‘ Has it started?’
Zion’s eyes turned upwards with him.
“X foot, don’t get caught up!”
If they got caught up, they would be scattered and destroyed, so Ragno spit out swear words and shouted.
However, it was not a forest to be left alone.
wow!
A handshake that appeared in front of the subjugation team in an instant at a terrifying speed that did not match its gigantic size swung its front paws.
Since the blow was not of a nature that humans could accept, the distance between those who avoided it naturally widened.
Good luck!
As if waiting for that, the trees growing through the gaps and the twisted space.

Most of the subjugation squads reorganized the display, avoiding distortion with superhuman movements.
“ This dog… … !”
Some didn’t.
People who are caught in a twist in an instant and disappear through the trees.
and among them.
Zion was also included.
* * *
how much time has passed
Shion finally looked at the forest where the twisting had stopped.
‘ Seeing that there is no sense of presence, it seems far away.’
Because he already knew it, he was able to avoid the distortion a while ago, but Zion didn’t.
It was because it was in the plan that we were separated from the party like this.
Now I had to head to the ‘Bonginji’ I had been aiming for, but there was one thing I had to deal with before that.
“ Damn it.”
A small swear word from the side.
Soon after, the figure of the flash sword Hart with an expression of irritation in Shion’s eyes appeared.
Perhaps they were caught in a twist together.
“ Actually… … .”
Looking at Zion with distasteful eyes, Hart with a soft tongue moved to look for the others.
“ I got in trouble.”
“ Why? Because you can’t kill Lane Dranir?”
Shion quietly questioned Hart’s murmur.
stand tall.
At that, Hart’s movements stopped.
“ What do you mean?”
Slowly turning his head toward Shion, Hart asked.
His eyes were freezing cold.
“ You know better.”
Sion looked straight into Hart’s eyes and smiled.
