199. is this good?
I strongly gripped the sword of repose, and the first enemy I chose was a goblin. King Mihu was one step ahead of the goblin at 1:1, but the electric shock he was striking had a greater impact on the battlefield than expected.
“Ahhh! master!”
“what the. I never thought the day would come when I would be glad to hear your nonsense.”
Elise, who was wielding a sword, greeted me with a bright smile. She had the goblin’s feet tied up, which made it easier.
“Hey, get out…!”
sh*t.
The time of the goblin, who had been living for a long time, stops. Elise is startled and mumbles, “You really stop time.”
It cuts the hard goblin skin like soft tofu. The goblin, not knowing how he died, turned into a cold corpse and rolled on the floor of the battlefield.
“The lightning is gone!”
“let’s go! rush!”
Along with Eris’ baptism of arrows, at least three of the ancient beasts that ruled the space died in an instant.
In an instant, it could be said that the flow had crossed this way. In a situation where there was nothing but complete defeat, suddenly there was hope of victory.
‘Because the beasts come out of the forest, they don’t use their power as much as they think.’
As for the beasts living in the forest of the demon realm that I remembered, I thought that the knights would easily swallow them and pass, but it was because they were fighting in the fields that the knights liked because they had escaped the forest and were not using their strength as expected.
“Elise, lead well. It could be an opportunity for mankind to conquer the Demon Realm Forest.”
“That’s a fascinating bait.”
Elise, who smiled, began to lead the knights by swinging her sword even more vigorously.
“Kieack!”
At that time, King Mihu’s trident swung over my head. It seemed that he had seen other ancient demons die, and realized that running away was no use at all, and came to kill me in reverse.
“Are you the successor of Coolica? Is it like that? Did that damn monster create another monster?”
I laughed out loud as I heard you keep asking questions like some kind of broken music box.
I couldn’t kill a goblin in my previous life.
Because the electric shock he poured out was by no means light enough for me, an ordinary human being, to endure.
Demon Belton couldn’t even think of fighting. Because I was basically vulnerable to demonic beasts that had wings and flew in the sky.
However, in the case of the red snake I killed for the first time, it felt like a monster, so I was able to catch it through my own strategy and trap.
In the case of King Mihu, it was the opposite.
Because he was so human, he was able to hunt.
“At that time, you were spitting and teasing your mouth as if in a fit of fuss.”
“Stop talking bullsh*t and answer me! Coolika! Did Kulika choose you? Aren’t I the king?”
“The figure of death is there. It’s not much different than you think. I was expecting a bit of freshness.”
At the time, they looked down on me to the extreme and became angry at me for allowing an untimely strike. But he would have known.
In the end, he only lost by skill, and it was a lame excuse.
“I am the king! To sit on the absolute throne that will rule the forest of the Demon Realm…!”
“To be honest, you’re not at that level.”
There was no need to stop time. The sword of rest smashed and dug into King Mihu’s trident itself.
The self-proclaimed king was trembling until the last moment, pretending to be unable to acknowledge his death.
A face that was different from the emperor and the tyrant I had seen.
“What kind of king are you when you lose even to a guide who doesn’t matter much.”
King Mihu’s blood spurts out in all directions. He tried to wave his hands with tenacity until the end, but they were scattered on the floor without meaning.
I took a deep breath and wiped off the blood on my sword.
It would have been nice if it ended like this, but I knew that this was the beginning.
Because there was a dragging sound coming from deep inside the forest.
What can I say, the heaviness that makes me wonder if this kind of noise would resonate if the castle were tied with ropes and dragged.
It was approaching without hesitation, devouring all the trees in front of it, as if the direction of its head was the road.
From a certain point of view, it could be said that that being was more suitable for a king than the King Mihu, who had been blinded by the throne until recently.
“There are a few things that can be said to be specialties in the forest of the demon realm.”
When I first met Eve, I had a conversation with her about a love story related to the Pandemonium Forest.
Among them, there was a scene where the main characters reached a beautiful silver lake in the forest of the demon realm.
I didn’t tell Eve at the time, but in fact it wasn’t a lake.
It’s a huge acidic slime that looks like a lake.
“I didn’t know you would move.”
Even though it is an ancient beast, it is the only silver lake located close to the village of witches rather than deep in the forest.
I don’t know why.
It doesn’t touch or take any action unless it’s a monster approaching close to it.
So this time, I expected that even if all the other magic beasts moved, he would remain strong alone.
The thought that I had moved to the silver lake, which can be called the specialty of the forest of demons, gave me the feeling that the end was really in sight.
“What is that!”
“Crazy, how can you catch such a huge slime!”
“Eh, run away! Run away at once!”
“Wizard! What does the wizard do!”
People panicked at the slime’s gigantic size. Even in the midst of this, Elise calmly ordered a retreat with a loud voice filled with mana.
He immediately realized that sending a knight against such a slime would mean wasting troops.
Thanks to that, a very strange situation happened.
People and monsters are running away in harmony. In front of an overwhelming presence, they were not humans and monsters, but simply life they wanted to live.
They were running away without looking back.
But I was different.
A pitiful voice came out as I saw the silvery slime that was like a resident of the Pandemonium Forest.
“body……”
The body of the slime, which boasted a brilliant silver light, was stained with black light, and it was impossible not to know what it was.
Evidence that the earliest apocalypse encroached.
“That’s why you came all the way here.”
The old tree, which had never moved because it was encroached upon by the goddess of death, had no choice but to get out of the forest.
And it wasn’t just slime.
The army of death poured out through the path opened by the silver slime. Starting with the troops and beast kings of the beasts we saw last time.
Even the ancient witches who died inside and the witches who slept on tombstones.
I breathed out in vain at the scene that felt like an all-out war.
“You’re making a fuss.”
The feeling that because of the deaths of Kulika and Sharcal, they went into the forest of the demon realm that was empty and reinforced their mighty power.
Certainly, from the viewpoint of the goddess of death who can revive the dead and use them, the forest of the underworld could be seen as a treasure trove in a way.
The darkness was gradually coming out of the forest riding its forces as if conquering the land. It swallowed up the dead knights and beasts and once again strengthened its forces.
The ancient monsters I had just killed, such as the King Mihu, the Red Snake, and the Goblin, had also been incorporated into the army, and were once again standing up unconscious.
This was the reason why the earliest end of the previous life could not be prevented.
An army that doesn’t die even if it kills.
The colleague who was next to them suddenly became their army and put a knife in the back they had just been facing.
In fact, it only took a long time, but it could be seen as a definitive destruction.
“Not this time.”
I felt the touch of a dagger that was well placed in my arms. Another one of the legacy Kulika left me. All you have to do is point this out to the end.
I was confident I could do it.
“Once, open the way.”
Hold the sword of rest with both hands, and lift it upwards.
The blue mana drawn up from the earth gushes out from the feet, reaching the tip of the sword and flying into the sky.
It was truly a strange feeling.
For me, mana was always something I could only use in small amounts by forcibly scraping it together.
Coolika entered me.
For the first time in my life, with a slight smile, as if he was watching me from behind.
I swung the sword with the sword.
The silvery slime that gave the illusion of a lake split in half and began to die, splashing in all directions like rain.
Since the slime of the silver slime has the property of melting everything it touches like poisonous acid, the army of death nearby melts away and disappears.
Of course, it would soon appear in a neat appearance in the dark, but it could stop their advance even for a moment.
“……Wow.”
But to me it didn’t matter too much.
Rather, he felt the full amount of mana still remaining in his hands and let out a blank laugh.
“Are you the only ones who have used this good thing?”
