Episode 61
The nuisance of the Bloody Tree Forest is revealed at night.
When the sun rises, this forest is nothing more than a red, eerie forest.
At night, you will know why this is a forbidden forest.
“indeed… … . Seeing it in person makes me feel bad all over again.”
I opened the crudely made wooden window and peeped out, involuntarily muttering:
At first glance, it is a forest covered with only thick darkness.
But that’s not all.
“… … Margie.”
If you recognize the outside through your senses rather than your eyesight, you immediately feel the reality of environmental change.
The concentration of demonic energy in the air suddenly rose.
“I heard about it, but I thought it would really radiate demonic energy… … . What kind of forests are there?”
Emily also muttered in disbelief, recognizing the same scene next to me.
“Those trees and plants, everything radiates demonic energy.”
“Is it really that strange even to the devil?”
“This whole forest looks out of place. During the day, it rides the normal flow of nature, but at night it reverses. Isn’t there any harm to the life of the forest?”
that’s not normal Emily pointed out that part.
“It’s as if the forest itself has shifted into a different place. Some of them remind me of the demon realm?”
“It seems to have changed… … .”
Thinking a little, I looked outside again.
It’s not just Maggie that’s annoying.
Due to the abnormal phenomenon called magi that occurs in nature, monsters become more ferocious and sometimes even ghosts roam.
“In this kind of environment, humans without tolerance might have hallucinations or pass out just by standing.”
“To bring children into a forest like this is surprisingly cruel to the people who control the academy.”
“Because this is also a kind of training… … .”
There is no need to teach the weak who can’t adapt to places like this while wasting money.
I didn’t send you to play.
During the day, you have to investigate the environment of the forest and perform ‘tasks’.
At night, you have to develop the ability to survive in this terrible environment.
“There must be some people who can’t even sleep well here.”
It must have been a rather harsh 5 days for them.
Except me, of course.
《Environmental bonus occurs.》
《Receives a certain effect according to the field bonus of Forest of Blood (Night).》
Magi is originally an energy of a nature that is difficult to accept except for some races.
But it doesn’t debuff everyone.
It is a pleasant environment for demons, whose magi itself is no different from energy.
“It’s a place where warlocks have more power.”
Rather, the environment was like a reward for a black magician who had been trained to accept magic.
Fatigue is reduced, and the recovery amount of demonic energy dwelling in the body increases rapidly.
It means I can become a little stronger here.
“Then, Xian, you didn’t have to come?”
“Don’t be sad. If I’m out alone, you’ll be sad too, right?”
It’s a policy that there will be no exceptions to the group training schedule.
“Above all, I also have training to do here.”
In addition, Chapter 2 of the main scenario will also open here, so you should not miss it.
“… … And without me, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep because I’m worried about them.”
“I can’t be surprisingly harsh.”
With a meaningful laugh, Emily looks away.
I’m the only one who’s lively at this time.
Unlike me who gets a buff here, there are people who don’t get it.
“By the way, can you hold out? Celidia?”
“… … worst.”
Celidia, who had begun to droop around sunset, gave a small answer and slowly lifted and lowered her tail.
The Elementalist class can be said to be the most directly affected class in this forest.
Originally, it would end with only receiving enough of weakening some of the specs of the summoned spirits.
Celidia’s body was affected by the elements of the spirits, so her entire body was affected.
“I’m not trying to make fun of you, I’m asking for your reference. How do you feel?”
“… … It feels like a running carriage keeps tipping over.”
“Is it similar to motion sickness?”
But drugs won’t work.
There are potions that increase magic and poison resistance, but considering the meaning of training here, it would not be good to take them out.
“Then the other… … .”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have to worry. draft.”
And there must be a class that will be more severely constrained by this environment than the original Elementalist.
“The girl bearing the name of the goddess… … Because I don’t give up on such bad air.”
Saint Alpine, who appeals for her liveliness with a meaningful smile as if she wants to show off somehow.
“Are you not affected at all?”
“I would have said I wouldn’t lose.”
Alpine’s class belongs to Priest at the time of the game.
At the academy, there is no department that trains holy knights or formal priests, so Alpine is taking classes from other classes.
Priests would have a favorable advantage in this environment.
It’s not like I get a buff, but I don’t get a debuff like the Elemental Weaver.
“Is it self-resistance of divine power…? … .”
“You know that too! draft! This is the Goddess’ holy protection.”
As she pretended to stretch out her arms and open her hands, a white spark lingered in her palm for an instant before disappearing.
“Are you using the backlash of the divine power to deflect the demonic energy?”
It’s because divine power is more advantageous than magic.
At least if the amount is the same, the divine power prevails.
“Maybe it’s possible to purify the whole cabin and make it safe if you’re willing?”
should? Alpine seemed to ask with sparkling eyes.
“don’t do it. Are you insane?”
it should dry
There are warlocks and demons here, right? look Now that it’s purification, Emily’s eyes tremble slightly, but as if it’s annoying.
When you purify, me and Emily take direct damage, right?
That’s teamkill.
“Or, at least part of it can be purified and sanctified. Then Miss Celidia will be a little more comfortable.”
Are Celdia’s ears prick up, as if she was a little attracted by that statement?
“don’t do it. Never.”
When I dry it again, it sags again.
Don’t be upset. ‘Cause I don’t mean to bully you
“It’s quite naughty.”
“How can that be! What was your purpose for coming here in the first place? You didn’t come here to take a bad forest tour.”
It’s training.
Even though they built a hut, they ate and played to the fullest in the evening.
Even so, we are here for training.
“… … sorry. I almost forgot. It was training.”
“… … huh. I forgot. It was training.”
“No, put that aside.”
The loose atmosphere is my fault, so let’s do it.
“It is most desirable to learn resistance against Magi. … … You especially need it, Celidia.”
It is an opportunity to make up for some of the disadvantages of Celidia, who receives more than an ordinary elemental slain penalty.
Knowing that, it must have been that even in the spirit class, Celidia did not object to coming to this training.
So, I have to tell you how to be strict.
“Let me give you a little trick. If you understand the principle and practice a little, you will get used to it in no time.”
“… … huh. I’ll try.”
Celidia immediately agrees and wants to hear my explanation.
“That’s it. indeed. meaning of procedure. Then you can’t help it. huh. huh.”
“No, what are you talking about? The saintess?”
“… … yes?”
I sighed at Alfine, who asked what he was talking about.
“You should also learn the ability to adapt. No, actually, you should learn it first.”
“I can cope.”
“Yeah, so shiny.”
paper weave.
From a while ago, Alfine continued to blink from time to time.
The demonic energy and divine power in the air repulsed and flashed irregularly.
… … It’s not even a broken light bulb.
“Since before, every flash is harmful to the eyes. … … And if that’s the case, you won’t be able to act at night. I’m not here to announce.”
In a sense, it’s a go-to party.
One incapacitated at night.
Another self-luminous… … .
weird. It must be the best team in the game, right? Why is it becoming a semi-retired party now?
That’s why the gap between the game and reality is huge.
‘And if I don’t improve this, I’ll have a hard time later.’
So, let’s point out
“Anyway, I’m going to teach you the theory of resistance against demons tonight, so be prepared.”
“… … huh. I’ll do my best. But sleep?”
“I don’t sleep.”
“too bad.”
“It’s harsh.”
don’t hear the noise
This is also for smooth operation.
* * *
After completing as much guidance as possible to teach the party.
“Then I guess I’ll have to train myself. Let’s go, Emily.”
I quietly slipped out of the cabin.
Warlock’s night is late.
Following me, Emily flirts strangely.
“You’re a bad boy for sneaking out for a walk at night like this. Where are you going?”
“are you okay. Who sees it in a forest like this?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Don’t you know who is carrying it?”
“what… … . Perhaps the demon that is just now scrambling is like that.”
Anyway, no one will see it.
At this point of view, the supervision of professors becomes somewhat looser.
‘Jeon Seo-gu’ still flies in the night sky and checks the condition of the forest, but it is dark and the visibility is limited due to the magic.
“I want to finish it before the sun rises, so help me practice. Emily.”
“It doesn’t matter. Are you really going to practice that?”
“of course.”
The reason I secretly go around at this time is for training.
In particular, to further maximize his capabilities as a black magician.
While researching before coming to the Forest of Blood, I came up with my own plans and theories, and after discussing with Emily, the answer was that it was somehow possible.
one purpose.
“This kind of environment is rare, so you have to achieve what you can get.”
improvement of my own competence.
Cultivation is not just about adapting to demonic qi.
“Are you ready?”
“Don’t worry. I think my sister’s skills will be even better than usual here.”
Emily, who returned after circling the area once, shouted loudly and finally showed off her ability.
Magi’s takeover.
Activate Energy Drain, but expand its range firmly.
“Hmm… … . I think it could be expanded a bit.”
It is not a bluff to say that it is in good condition, but it has already mastered the magic that reaches a range of several kilometers.
“How long will it take to prepare?”
“It won’t take long.”
“okay? Well, it doesn’t matter if you slow down.”
I am not playing with myself.
There were things that appeared around us as if we were wary of the existence that controlled the whole area of demonic energy.
A scarlet haze shimmered, and a red shadow resembling a human crawled out of it.
“It’s a grudge.”
“It’s a forest like this, so it’s only natural.”
There are basically two types of enemies in the Bloody Forest.
The first is a normal type of monster. Uncommon guys who show up day or night.
The second is those that only appear at certain times of the day.
ghost.
“ghost… … . They are quite rare to see.”
As the name suggests, when they get close to each other, I feel a rather thick smell of blood.
“Be careful. Those who are intolerant of that scent will have nightmares just by sniffing it.”
“It doesn’t work for me anyway.”
If a black magician is seduced by such a thing, it will become a laughing stock and be passed down to future generations.
They just didn’t appear to dazzle them.
Woo woo woo woo… … .
An unpleasant echo is heard in the air.
The voice of grudges.
“Sorry, but I don’t really like necromancy, so I rarely filmed it.”
I guess I know a little about it though.
to be angry
Normally, the spirits hate the living, but this anger was different from that.
He has seized the whole area of demonic energy and is trying to dominate it.
From the point of view of those Ghosts, it is the same as declaring that they will take away their fundamental resources.
As an analogy, a territorial battle.
“It’s funny.”
Laughing at them, I threw black lightning in succession at the hostile ones.
ghost. Often, physical attacks do not work against ghost-type monsters.
Even an attack containing an aura is half effective.
The best prize is divine power.
black magic?
‘There’s nothing particularly compatible, but the damage goes in somehow.’
Magic is 1.2x. Dark magic has a multiplier of about 0.8 times, and the compatibility is woven.
‘That’s enough~.’
The lack of compatibility can be pushed to the level.
grip support.
The Ghosts pierced by the Black Lightning quickly disappear like fireworks scattering.
“It’s surprisingly good.”
Unlike monsters, I didn’t have to look at the horrible corpses, so I realized that this kind of series was surprisingly comfortable to hunt.
