Jain’s leather cutting cut the vines flying in all directions neatly.
It was a neat cut like a feat. A sword wind rose and shook Ren’s hair standing next to him. In an instant, cut vines piled up on the floor. Laplus, who had lost dozens of vines meaninglessly, bit the vines while screaming torn.
“It works.”
Jain looked at the leather chopper he was holding in his hand and muttered. The leather slash that ate Laplus’ sap was transformed into a jungle shape that was perfect for dismantling plants like Laplus. It was a feature in the original. If several plant-type monsters were cut, the options were changed to deal additional damage to plants. The problem was different. It was the fact that even though the vine had been slaughtered so neatly, the tyrannical snake did not gain even a penny.
After thinking for a while, Jain soon found the answer.
“Ren, can you help me?”
It seemed that Ren’s help would be indispensable in order to take the Ice and Snow Walk from him again. Ren, who had his eyes widened for a moment, nodded with a serious expression on his face.
“If I can be of any help, I can.”
“great.”
At the same time as those words, Jain formed an ice wall. The citadel of ice that sprouted from the floor struck down all the whips of Laplus’ vines that were silently attacking them. When he saw the magic that was close to the mirage, Marlon opened his mouth wide and couldn’t say a word.
“Haste.”
Taking Ren’s hand, Jain murmured. A light vortex began to flow through Ren’s wrists and ankles. Jain’s magic did not end there. Strengthen muscle strength, strengthen eyesight, strengthen durability, and strengthen all buff effects. I released my hand only after applying five overlapping buffs. And finally, I applied the most important buff.
“Welcome to guide.”
It used to be a gamble where the efficiency of the skill varies greatly depending on each other’s trust, but now I had no choice but to use it. Finally, Buff’s baptism was over. Ren was unfamiliar with the power of his body, so he looked at both hands with a bewildered face. Zain spoke to Ren succinctly.
“Right now, you are on the same level as me in terms of speed.”
“I, really?”
“And, I marked it as an illusion so that you can immediately see what action you need to take. Can you follow the illusion and move me?”
“yes. I will definitely, definitely, do it.”
Ren nodded with confidence. He was happy to know that Jain was dependent on him. That was the moment when I nodded my head. As the ice wall that Jain had built broke, snake-shaped vines smashed into the two of them. It was a vine whose strength was increased by twisting and twisting the vines like muscle fibers. Jain grabbed the leather chopper with both hands and swung it with strength from his waist. The leather slash with a beautiful arc split dozens of layers of vines and splattered the snake’s head into pieces. However, Laplus’ attack did not end there. It had two heads. As the ice wall on the other side broke, the snakehead attacked once more. As if it was made from ice and snow swimming, the snake’s head was made of ice.
“town!”
And the snake’s head was neatly cut under Ren’s hand. It was a round cut by Ren with a dagger neatly poking through the veins. thud! The severed snake’s head turned into a block of ice and fell to the floor. Ren, who landed next to Zain, blinked as if he couldn’t believe what he had done.
“Really?”
As Jain said, just before the snake’s head attacked, he saw an illusion of himself cutting it out in a circle. He just moved as the illusion told him, but he received the mighty Laplus’ attack brilliantly. Ren, full of confidence, smiled and stood back to face with Jain. The one who looked up at him was also smiling. That fact made Ren happy. Of course, the reason why Jain smiled was different from Ren.
‘The serpent of violence is rising.’
As expected, when Ren and Ren showed him moving in one accord, the tyrannical snake went up to 30% at once. Laplus’ seizure-mixed screams that followed supported Jain’s hypothesis.
“──────────────!!!”
Laplus was originally a flower called ‘Yeonlihwa’, which grew with two flowers attached to each other. When properly grown to the end, it has turned into an elixir that cures incurable diseases. However, if the succubus instilled its own magical energy and continuously made sacrifices before it had grown properly, it would become such a monster.
This is what Yeon-li-hwa, who has fallen so much, longs for the most. The most jealous and envious of the companion was a sympathetic companion. The reason he seduced Marlon, who had an ‘ice and snow swim’, was probably because he wanted to make a companion out of ice using Marlon’s skills.
Laplus’ scream contained a roaring shockwave. As a result, the ice wall shattered and shattered. As soon as the ice wall completely disappeared, Laplus shot the vines again like arrows. Half of them were shot by Laplus of ice made from ice and snow swimming.
“Let’s go back.”
Holding the hide, Jain took the lead and cut down five vines. Ren followed and cut down three in a row. It wasn’t difficult. It was because the illusion that Jain had made was telling him what to do. It was rather enjoyable. As in the past, the fact that we are fighting together, not a burden.
‘This is the world you see.’
I was even happy to be able to see the battle scenes that Zain saw for a while. Every time Ren thought about it, the serpent of tyranny relentlessly swelled up. Before long, it had reached 50 percent. Jain and Ren ran back to back, relentlessly cutting Laplus’ vines and petals and moving forward.
“uh.”
The climax of the fight. Ren had been chasing Jain’s vision without hesitation, but something had to come to a halt. It was because Jain plunged into the heart of hundreds of vines without hesitation. Jain’s vision was instructing him to dive into it too. However, an instinctive fear took hold of Ren. If I set foot there, the fear that I would be pierced through my body like a skewer by the vines pouring down from hundreds of directions instinctively soared. However, the illusion was clearly instructing him to jump in.
“lets do it.”
Ren bit his lip and stepped on the place the illusion had stepped on, kicking the ground and jumping into the petals. Dozens of vines smashed at Ren’s previous spot and disappeared. As I took one step, I saw a realm I had never seen before. The movement of the illusion, which seemed only dangerous, was the only way to avoid the attack.
“You believed in me and followed me.”
The voice of the one who had already thrown himself into the flower could be heard. In front of me, I could see Laplus’ pistil and stamens made of ice, which were hidden in flowers and vines. I saw Jain wielding a leather slash towards the pistil. Ren bit his lip and swung his dagger at the ice surgery.
“──────────────────────!!!”
A long merry-go-round erupted. It was a bigger flurry than all the flurries Laplus had put together so far. The cannibal flower, which had lost the pistil that controls the entire Laplus, shrank as it sprinkled pollen and sap like firecrackers. Ren, unable to get out of the petals, covered the pollen with authenticity.
“Collock, kouk, kohl… ”
“Are you okay?”
As he was squeezing in the pink pollen, he felt a hand wrapped around his shoulder in a hurry. it was jain With tears in his eyes, Ren nodded quietly.
“it’s okay. It’s just, Kollock, just a little bit of pollen.”
“thank god.”
Jain’s voice who spoke like that sounded really sweet, unlike usual. It was the first voice I had heard since joining Rottern. That voice I heard hundreds of times in my dreams while I was living in the room. As soon as I heard it, I felt like I was about to burst into tears. So, seeing Ren rubbing his eyelids, Jain asked without noticing.
“Did it even get into your eyes?”
“Yes. blow it.”
Silly. Ren muttered to himself. With his eyes open, he brought his face to Jain. Malone came to his senses and looked at the two of them as if envy. No matter how you look at them, they only looked like a chicken meat couple.
“sorry. By making me fight without saying a word and with a guy like that. And, thank you. Follow me.”
Perhaps in the end, believing in one illusion and letting him jump into the flower seemed to be on his mind. It was because it could lead to serious injury if it was lifted. But Ren wiped away the tears and smiled broadly.
“no. I wasn’t scared at all. Because I believed.”
It was at that moment that the serpent of violence reached the end. Laplus, who had been persistently enduring without dying yet, heard the conversation and remembered himself before he fell. The nape of Jain’s neck flashed golden, and after a while, how to use the ‘ice and snow swim’ was neatly captured in Jain’s mind.
“I am.”
Zain smiled and walked towards the place where Laplus had fallen. To be precise, to the place where the pistil fell. There, a single flower bloomed modestly. A pink-colored flower in the shape of two flowers joined together by a stem. it was lilac Jain took the flower and put it in his pocket. With this, the crisis seemed to have come to an end.

“Is it really okay if I take this skill?”
“it’s okay! Anyway, it’s an overkill for me. Take it and use it for a good cause like today.”
Malone replied with a sullen expression. That was my favorite answer. Contrary to how he looked, it didn’t seem like he was really a bad guy. Jain smiled contentedly and tapped her shoulder.
“Thank you. Call me bro, from now on.”
“Are you going to accept it?”
“Tell the guild master that you also played a part in catching that flower. Then you won’t be charged with a human traitor.”
“older brother!”
Malone gave a shocked expression and fell flat on his face. After all, it is the spirit of an aristocratic family, so it will be useful someday. Jain, who had rationalized himself with such thoughts, left Marlon alone and walked towards Laplus’ corpse. He was holding a leather chopper in his hand. I wanted to leave more of the slash marks of leather cutting on that corpse. To increase Soya’s intrusion probability.
“If this is enough, the intrusion rate will go up by 5 cents.”
Seeing Laplus’s completely raged corpse, Jain murmured. Then, Jain began to investigate. I was able to spot some strange things right away.
“It’s strange.”
“what?”
“There are traces of a fairly high-ranking succubus raising it with great care. I don’t know how Rotern had such a thing… He smashed the flower he had grown dearly, so he might come back to get revenge.”
“Aren’t demons not allowed to enter Rottern?”
“Because if it’s an alternate body, it can be active.”
body body. It is a power that can only be possessed by demons at the level of the heir to the demon king, and it means a human-shaped puppet that has transferred his soul. Hearing that, Ren hardened his face.
“You should be careful. exactly.”
“And I found another one.”
“What?”
In front of Ren’s curious face, Jain held in a handful of almond-like seeds. Even looking at it, Ren had a puzzled expression on his face.
“What is this?”
“The seed of Yeonlihwa.”
It was still not clear. Jain sighed and explained.
“Yeonlihwa is a flower that blooms at the place of death of a couple who longed for a baby. So, if you eat this, you will get better infertility and have a better baby, or something. Since fertility is almost guaranteed on the day of eating, nobles suffering from infertility often buy them at high prices. It is a precious thing.”
“okay? Huh… I see.”
Ren looked at the seed with a sudden interest in the seed. And, smiling broadly, he said.
“Today, did I fight hard?”
“yes? Well, it was.”
“Aren’t you long? Then, shouldn’t I be rewarded?”
“You want this? Where are you going to use it?”
“Well, I think your mother is struggling with that kind of problem. No more privacy.”
“If that’s the case, what?”
Jain simply handed the seeds of Yeonlihwa to Ren. Ren carefully put the seeds of Yeonlihwa in his pocket and smiled broadly.
“thank you. I will use this carefully!”
And, it was that night.
Ren stood like a thief by Zain’s door and glanced into the room. Zain was sleeping restlessly from the exhaustion of a fierce battle. You could even see the blanket moving up and down according to the in-breath and out-breath.
“great. This time I can do it.”
Ren murmured, and took out the seeds of Yeonlihwa from his pocket. and swallowed After that, I turned the bangle on my wrist. The stealth skill that kills the presence was activated, so Ren’s footsteps were truly quieter than the ants’ footsteps. After all preparations were made, Ren swallowed his saliva and took a step toward Zain’s room.
