Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 163

After a small incident in the bathroom, I felt a sense of incongruity while putting on my clothes.

‘There are no branches of the world tree’

at the same time realized

The disappearance of the branches of the World Tree must have something to do with the dark energy from before.

I quickly got dressed and went out of the locker room.

Outside, Frilite, who used the changing room before me, was standing there. She looked at me and coughed and turned her head with a red face.

Because now is not the time for that.

“let’s go.”

“Yeah, yes!”

I took the lead, followed by Frillite. Not long after they started running down the castle’s corridors, they found the servants lying on the floor.

I looked at the pulse of the youngest servant among them.

“Alive. I just lost consciousness.”

“I think so.”

Frilite said as she took her hand off the pulse of the other servants. The shy figure he had before had disappeared, and he had returned to the form of a reliable knight.

Me and Frylite came out of the lord’s castle.

Indeed, it seems that it was not only within the lord’s castle that the dark energy had an effect.

Citizens were lying all over the streets.

Frillite frowned as she looked at the street where people, young children and the elderly, were lying on the floor.

“Who the hell did this…”

“I have a guess. Before that, let’s see if the other kids are safe.”

I went looking for my comrades with Frylite. Fortunately, it didn’t take long to find. This is because Eri and Leslie cast their magic into the sky to announce their location.

As I ran in the direction in which the magic was shot, I found that the party had gathered.

I asked them.

“Mars”

“Cloud, I wasn’t with you… Ah, here it is.”

Eri stopped talking while pointing her finger behind my back. The tiger also said to come when I said it, but when I turned my back, I saw Mars running towards us.

“You’re alone. Isabelle is always with you.”

“Isabel wasn’t with Frilite-san.”

“What are you talking about. Frilite was with me all the time.”

“Uh, but you told me that you definitely promised to visit the festival with Mr. Frilite.”

“That is strange. I never made such a promise with Isabelle.”

stories of each other that do not intersect.

While the conversation gradually drifts into a labyrinth, I get a rough idea of how things are going.

“We will decide later whether we made a promise or not, and for now, let’s go after the criminal who made this trip first.”

“Is there a way to pursue it?”

I nodded my head at Frilite’s words.

In the past, just in case, the branch of the World Tree had a tracking magic applied to it. Seeing that the magic hasn’t gone away yet, it doesn’t seem that the criminal has even noticed the existence of the tracking magic.

This is enough to track.

I used tracking magic.

A round lump of mana bloomed from the palm of my hand and floated in the sky. And just as it was, it began to fly in the direction of the branch of the World Tree.

“Follow!”

Me and my companions ran along the mana sphere.

“A little more speed!”

The possibility that the opponent has already run away cannot be ruled out. I increased the speed of the tracking magic, followed it and looked behind me.

Fortunately, the party followed well in their own way.

After running for such a long time, outside the city, at the beginning of the forest, I met Isabelle.

– Hey, how did you find it?

No, it was something inside Isabelle’s body.

“Isabel, how did this happen…”

Mars’s eyes fluttered as he looked at Isabelle. Cloud slapped him in the back of the head.

“Wake. Do you see that as Isabelle?”

A strange tattoo on his forehead and black wings sprouting from his waist.

Even the eyes that turned into the reverse.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t a normal human figure.

Cloud asked Isabelle the Queen of the Succubus.

“Who are you, why did you enter her body, why did you steal the branches of my world tree, and what are you up to?”

-If you want to know that, won’t you answer the question I asked first?

“How did I find you? I found you with the tracking magic attached to the branch of the World Tree.”

-lie. How could I not have noticed that… yeah

The succubus queen looked at the branches of the world tree and narrowed her eyes.

– It’s true, I didn’t know. You use magic more delicately than you think

“I do have that side. Now it’s your turn to answer my questions,”

-A question about who I am, but do I have to talk about it?

“You can’t do it if you don’t like it. In fact, I didn’t even want to know.”

Cloud grabbed the sword handle.

– Oh, I’m afraid. You’re thinking of slashing me. To do that, you’d have to cut this girl first.

“Stop cutting.”

“brother! What are you talking about!”

Mars was terrified when he said that he was going to cut Isabelle, and grabbed Cloud’s shoulder. Either way, his gaze was fixed on the succubus queen.

As if he would cut without hesitation if he moved even a little.

The succubus queen burst into laughter at that bloody gaze.

– You are serious! Seriously, I’m thinking of Bell! Indeed, it must be said that he was the hero who sent the old man out, but he is very decisive. I don’t have multiple lives like that young man, so I’ll have to prepare soon.

She wiped her laughter and rubbed her neck with her hand. Then a voice other than Isabelle’s came out of her throat.

– Terseus.

As soon as she opened her mouth, something from the forest flew through the trees at high speed.

It was a handsome man with three gorgeous pairs of wings on his back.

Arriving with his long gray hair fluttering, he knelt toward the succubus queen.

“Angelica, my love. You called me.”

-yes. The humans over there are trying to kill me. I want you to protect me.

“what”

The man’s gaze turned to Cloud and the others. Unlike the warm expression he had when he looked at Angelica, he looked at Cloud and the others with a face that exuded a cold chill.

“When I said that some lesser thing dared to threaten my Angelica, they must have been warriors. You seem to have forgotten my topic when you call me a hero.”

“Heh..!”

Suddenly, Eri’s legs began to tremble. She supported her with her cane and tried to calm her legs, but that didn’t work.

It’s not just her.

Ophelia, Neria, Katarina, Leslie, etc.

The only difference was that everyone was feeling the fear.

Fear stemming from the gap between parent and child.

The aura emitted by the highest level entity, the dragon.

Dragon Fear.

Thereseus made the flow of the area his own with just a few words.

“What is it, name?”

There was only one free person there, and that was Cloud.

Instead of feeling fear from Thereseus, he was puzzled.

“Why are you here?”

Named Dragon.

A dragon given a name by the Dragon King, of course, but strong enough to be incomparable to a normal dragon.

“To protect my love, Angelica. As long as I’m there, none of you can touch Angelica’s finger.”

“Angelica is the name of the succubus queen… you were the succubus queen”

At Cloud’s point, the Succubus Queen’s face frowned.

– Terseus. You’ll trouble me with useless words

“Mi, I’m sorry. I had no intention of doing that.”

-done. I’m going, so clean it up properly. okay

“Okay, my love. As you wish…”

The succubus queen flew into the forest without hearing all of Terseus’ answer. Thereseus looked at the back with disappointment, and while he was doing this, Cloud spoke to Mars.

“Let’s make this clear. I will kill Isabelle.”

“brother!”

“It was Isabelle who stole the branches of the World Tree. It means she was the one who caused the city to work. Even though no one died, he made a contract with the demons. As a hero, I have to dispose of it.”

Mars bit his lip. My head was dizzy. Why did Isabelle act like that, and why can’t it be solved only in that way? All sorts of thoughts filled his mind.

“But, if she was just being taken advantage of, I might be able to give her some consideration. So, Mars, you go and ask.”

“uh..”

Mars lowered his head. Cloud looked at him and sighed.

“Don’t make a foolish face, go ahead and ask. Was it a contract or was it just being used? I will dispose of Isabelle based on your words. Instead, if something goes wrong with it, you too will not be able to avoid responsibility.”

Would you give up on Isabelle?

Or would you be with her even if there was a time when she was covered in filth?

Cloud gave Mars that option.

“…thank you.”

It was the moment when Mars, who bowed his head and expressed his gratitude, was about to run towards the forest.

“You sound funny. Do you dare think that it would be possible to turn away from me and pursue her!”

Thereseus’ skeleton and muscles began to twist. As it grew as large as a petite mountain, the human form was transformed into that of a giant dragon.

A red light flashed from the dragon’s jaws.

“You will all be ashes.”

A hot fire engulfed Cloud and the group in front of them. Eri and Leslie tried to use the protection magic in a hurry, but the timing was a bit delayed due to their body hardened by the Dragon Fear.

It is impossible to say whether or not it will be possible to stop them all.

Cloud came forward.

“Before you go, see this.”

Cloud drew his sword.

A beautiful shining blue Oriharkon sword.

He cut it down vertically.

It is a simple vertical slash that contains neither swordsmanship nor flying swords.

However, what is contained in the tip of the sword is the secret of the sword that one dunjae devoted his whole life to.

Geomgi or Geomgang are not comparable.

Whoa-ah-ah!

The fire split in half.

It was the same even after Cloud put the sword into its sheath. As if dividing the space, the breath was split in half based on a certain part.

“Hey, how is this…!”

Thereseus stopped breathing in embarrassment.

Cloud turned to Mars and asked.

“Now go. Don’t forget what I said before.”
