47 . The power of the eldest daughter
Olivia has already disappeared from sight because she runs so fast.

Following her, I went straight to the center of the forest, relying on a torch to look around.
This unpleasant, sticky feeling, like the trees are glaring at me.
Long time no see.
It’s been such a long time, and the memory of that time came back vividly, and I was irritated.
The light that drove the darkness was infinitely small, and the darkness that tried to attack me was constantly multiplying.
If you don’t find Olivia quickly and get out of this forest….
In a forest where even an inch ahead is indistinguishable, I held out my torch and stepped carefully.
I felt like I was approaching the abyss with my mouth wide open like a monster’s mouth.
“Olivia?”
There was no answer when I called.
Elia’s fight with Cassandra, I can’t imagine that Olivia would be defeated by a wild boar just as big as she was if she thought she had the same strength as him, but her life wasn’t going the way I expected. .
It wasn’t just Olivia that was the problem.
Rihanna, who was left behind with her children, was also concerned.
I looked around with more urgency than usual in the nervousness that overtook me.
At that time, I heard the sound I so longed for.
Kwuh!
A wild boar’s scream that seems to be cut off at any moment.
I didn’t even suspect anything, and immediately turned towards the sound.
There were many occasions when I almost tripped over the roots of trees and fell because I didn’t check the bottom properly, but I didn’t care about that.
The wild boar’s moan of pain was now vivid in my ears. As he held out the torch, he soon saw a figure.
Olivia, she was confronting her wounded boar with one of her bows.
Olivia looked fine enough to overshadow my concerns, but she wasn’t a wild boar.
The wild boar was bleeding all over her body, as if looking at her hedgehog, with arrows stuck all over her body. Even a heinous madness could be seen in the way he glared at his opponent even with wounds that would have killed him if he were an ordinary human.
Olivia didn’t even notice that I was close by, so she drew the bowstring again.
Perhaps recognizing that the end of the action was her own death, the boar started rampaging wildly, and rushed in the direction of Olivia while digging through her land.
Before I could warn her of the danger, her Olivia’s hand moved.
Pulling with all my might, the taut bow string is released, and the arrow is shot with the sound of cutting through the wind.
An arrow that pierced the boar’s eye and went straight through the head.
The speed of the wild boar that was charging gradually slowed down, and with a thump, it collapsed on its side.
Olivia let out a deep sigh, wiped the sweat off her forehead, opened her eyes wide, and smiled bashfully, as if she had finally found me.
“Dad! Saw? I got it!”
She wanted to share in the joy she felt, but she had to say something.
I pretended to be stern and tapped her forehead lightly with her finger.
It didn’t even hit hard, but Olivia exaggerated Ouch! With a sound, she caressed her slightly reddened forehead.
“Olivia, going alone is dangerous.”
“Ugh… I’m sorry.”
“It’s a shame because I wasn’t hurt.”
At my continued nagging, Olivia stuck out her mouth and looked for praise from her. In his opinion, he did this because he wanted to feed the children, but it was a dangerous action.
Still, I didn’t intend to keep blaming her. I sighed briefly and opened my mouth with a benevolent smile unlike before.
“Still, you did well.”
Despite her brief praise, Olivia smiled brightly again and clung to my arm. I stroked her Olivia’s head and walked towards her wild boar she had caught.
It is known that an adult wild boar that is usually caught in the wild and can be seen weighs about 150 kg, but this was well over three times that size.
‘I wonder if I can carry it alone.’
She held the bloody tusk with both of her hands and tried to drag it for a moment, but it didn’t even budge.
Unless there was a cart, it was impossible to take it with you.
I should just cut enough to eat and take it with me. After thinking about that, I pulled out a dagger from my waistband, grabbed the boar’s back leg, and started slicing it.
I wasn’t familiar with slaughtering, so I couldn’t cut it properly, but I cut it into moderately large pieces and lifted it as it is.
I only listened to it after cutting off one leg, but the heavy feeling spreads.
Cut half of the meat and grill it, and if you take good care of the remaining meat, you will be able to make simple meals such as beef jerky to eat throughout the trip.
I said to Olivia with a satisfied smile.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
Olivia did not give me a specific answer. I didn’t feel the warmth of Olivia, who had just clung to my body and teased her. Normally, she would cling to my body until right before she returned to the tent to show her friendliness.
When she turned her head to look at Olivia in her puzzlement, she was staring blankly at one spot in the forest.
Yes, the real Sangun hasn’t appeared yet.
I turned her head and stared where Olivia was looking.
Two red eyes that look like vicious wisps of fire shimmer.
Before long, it was a monster that borrowed the form of a gigantic beast that appeared while breaking the tree.
Larger than most castle gates.
Tight muscles, tangled tendons, and legs that seemed to explode at any moment boasted a sense of intimidation that could kill an adult man by stepping on it in one fell swoop.
That was not the only weapon he possessed. The wild boar’s tusks are huge enough to be regarded as toys.
The spittle flowing through its slightly open mouth was corroding the area with a loud sound whenever it touched the ground.
He looked at the cold boar carcass with its leg cut off, and let out a mournful roar.
Kuooooo!!
It was as if I could feel the goose bumps on my back and the sadness of parents who lost their children.
I thought I knew why there were no traces of people staying around here.
The rage that covered her body captured me and Olivia in front of her.
It’s not dangerous. If I don’t get out of this place right now, I will die.
Of course, those words were all words that only worked for me.
Unlike me, who was taken aback, Olivia looked at the monster with a burning desire to compete.
“Olivia… !”
A roar rang out at the same time as my worries, followed by a monster attack.
There is no comparison to the rush of a wild boar.
The ground trembles as if there was an earthquake.
I caught the movement of the guy who came right in front of me, and I barely avoided him by rolling my body to the left.
Rocks and trees just behind me had been shattered, and the ground was cracking in an ugly shape.
‘What is this….’
If I had stayed there, I would have become like a rat.
“Dad, avoid!”
Olivia pulled the bowstring at the monster, but the arrow Olivia shot did not penetrate the thick monster’s skin.
She had a confident expression, but unlike before, she had a troubled expression.
She is also aware of herself. Unless they had overwhelming firepower like Ellia or Stella, it was impossible to attack effectively through that thick hide.
As if giving up everything, Olivia dropped her hand holding her bow and murmured.
“I didn’t want to be seen in front of her father….”
A dark gold tattoo mixed with jet black. Unlike Elia, the tattoo started on the back of her hand and spread to her entire upper body.
Did she also have powers similar to Elia’s?
Considering Elia’s ability to drop Cassandra’s head, she thinks it’s an opportunity to overcome this crisis, but basically, Olivia’s her Elia and her abilities are different.
How can Olivia, who simply shoots her bow better than everyone else, break through this crisis?
Olivia, whose expression didn’t change, bit her finger hard enough to put my worries to shame.
Kwadeuk – ! Blood flowed from her fingers with her voice, and Olivia smeared the blood on her arrowhead with her familiar look.
“■■■, Pray.”
The words that came out of Olivia’s mouth were not her voice. A voice that sounds like at least four people talking at the same time. Above all, the subject that came out first was a language so bizarre that it is hard to think of it as a modern word. There was no way I could understand what he was saying.
As soon as Olivia’s words end, the space distorts, starting from where she is stepping on her feet.
Her mana, which began to gather, warped the surrounding space with an enormous mass.
The birth of endless magic.
The monster that was rushing at us with vigour, also sensed something was wrong and took a backward step.
He always chased his prey, but for the first time he felt like he was the prey himself.
A warning given by instinct, the monster was running away, leaving behind the revenge of his child, showing his back before he knew it.
But Olivia never let go of a prey she caught.
The tattoo covering her body was transferred to a single arrow draped over the bowstring.
An arrow that starts to glow with golden magic.
When Olivia let go of her hand, the arrow shot like a flash cut through the entire space around it and pierced the heart of the invisible monster.
The upper half of his body, with a huge hole in it, fell to the floor as it was, and only the lower half that was left in vain remained standing upright until the end.
Immediately after a huge hole was pierced in the monster’s body, the sound of an arrow being shot was heard.
