(EP.294)# 3
294 – Fall #3
Professor Balan woke me up.
Thanks to this, my mind, which had been engulfed in suffocation, has returned to a slightly normal state.
I slowly got up with a delicate motion. I turn my head to see Professor Stella, who is asleep next to me.
I crawled out of the cave entrance, taking care not to wake up Professor Stella.
When I went outside, I saw Professor Balaan’s red waggle eerily glimmering around me in the dark.
“What are you doing? I have to be busy tomorrow, so I heard it’s better to sleep.”
“I have something to say to Tae-oh, before that, please accept this.”
Shrek.
What Balaan held out to me from his bosom was a red, round apple. what an apple When I took it lightly, Professor Balaan smiled with an uh-huh- and sinister feeling.
“You can eat alone without sharing it with the elves, Tae-oh, Ho. This is what I had in the morning. For me, Tae-oh’s safety is the most important thing.”
“okay. thank you.”

Crunchy, crunchy.
An apple was quickly gone.
In fact, I didn’t express it, but my body felt tired as if something was pressing down on it. The berries, pine nuts, and dried meat that I ate for dinner today were also lacking in quantity.
In the midst of that, I felt pretty good when I ate the apple Bala offered. It’s delicious.
“So, what are you going to tell me?”
“About defeating Opal this time… . I want to share some stories with you.”
Oh, that’s right.
I also had a lot of things I wanted to ask Balan. I didn’t get a chance to have a conversation just the two of us, so I put it off.
So, when I had the opportunity, I gave a light and simple explanation of what happened to the Belhawks and what happened as a result.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
After listening for a while, Balaan nodded at the fact that Opal was dead.
“How could that terrifying opal meet such a pitiful end. Dude, it looks good. Whoa, that Baland Sabrnak. Thinking about what happened to him… .”
“By the way, I think Opal was trying to say that Solomon was still alive. What do you think of this, Professor Balan?”
“Stay alive… .”
Balaan sighed for a moment.
Then, straighten one finger.
“It’s not very likely, uh, not impossible. The proof is in that Balan de Sabrnak… . Also, I think Tae-oh will see the evidence every day.”
“Evidence?”
“That Balan is a masterpiece created by the king. However, as is the case with spells, most things disappear after the creator’s death. Being alive like this… .”
“Are you suggesting that Solomon might not have died?”
“Bah, that’s right. I want to give you an A grade.”
“… Well.”
Listening to it, it seems that Marmar once said something like that. The status window we are looking at. This is the rule of the world created by Solomon’s magic.
Showing the status window is proof that Solomon is alive.
“… Ha, but the old demon king is no longer in the world. This is what Baland de Sabrnac said, so you can trust me. If alive… , it must be the part that resides inside Tae-oh.”
Balaan’s statement makes sense.
It was said that the Demon King is a profession that there is only one person in the world. It didn’t make sense that Solomon was still alive, as long as I was transferred to Soma King.
In this world, it happens often.
stories that don’t make sense.

– That profit!
“Stella-sama, let’s go that way!”
“okay!”
Phishung, whoa.
The arrow fired by Stella pierces the body of the odd looking mantis.
The insect with a hole so large that it was hard to believe that it had been hit by a small arrow trembled and then stopped moving.
“After all, there is no end.”
Stella recovered the arrows embedded in the tree.
As she said, she was attacked by endless monsters several times. If the demons make a disturbance, you hear the noise again, deal with the monsters that are flocking to you, and then… .
There seems to be no end to this.
Still, Balan seemed to be quite happy with the madness of these monsters.
“Heh, there’s a lot of ominous magic… .”
Probably because it can absorb a lot of sinister and evil magic from the corpses of demons. It is common for those who fall into the path of ‘Ma’ to become stronger by absorbing their opponent’s power like this.
Actually, she is Gamigin, who was originally a high-ranking officer in the Demon King’s Army. If we absorb the power like this, it will surely become a strength for our survival.
“Hey, what are warlocks?”
Of course, unaware of that fact, Stella clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like the sight. It’s natural for someone who doesn’t know anything to look awkward. ‘Cause it’s a little creepy when I look at it
ㅡ Gyaaah!
Then we heard a sharp roar behind us. A wolf with its mouth ripped all the way to its neck is running towards us.
Of course, as expected, Stella took a step back, widened the distance, then pulled out a dagger from her waist and threw it into the guy’s forehead.
━Caggaeng!
🤩🤩🤩
Hellhounds die by spewing blood. Stella pulled out a dagger from his forehead and looked around.
“I will smell the blood and come back. Let’s get out of here quickly I want to wash away the dust and the smell of blood on my body. Are there any prices nearby?”
Stella looked at me.
“Tae-kun, is there any water nearby?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Nymphs have a knack for finding ditches and streams. Since half of the Taeo Islands are nymphs, wouldn’t that be possible?”
Did nymphs have such a convenient survival feature? It was the first story I had ever heard. However, there is no way to tell a story without Stella, who majored in fairy science.
So I turned my eyes away from this horrific scene and decided to listen quietly. This body is a nymph born in the forest. If there is only one stream of water flowing through the forest, you will be able to find it.
-Jorgeer-.
Then I heard a small sound in my ear. It is undoubtedly the sound of a small stream flowing smoothly.
“You are now a skilled ditch nymph… !
Acquire job experience for ‘half-fairy’… ! + 50”
“I think it’s this way.”
I led Stella and Professor Balan towards the stream I found. There were monsters attacking along the way, but it wasn’t difficult to break through the siege with Stella and Professor Balan.
So, the place they finally reached was a small valley. A valley so clear that you can’t even think of it as being in a fallen forest. The water is cold and the flow is fast.
How deep is the water? It doesn’t look deep.
Without a moment for me to say anything, Stella and Professor Balaan dived into the valley and wiped themselves like birds.
“Oh, the car.”
“Hey, I think I’m going to live. It feels like the smell of the blood of low-level monsters is erased… .”
visitation, visitation.
The reason why he went in without taking off his clothes was probably to wipe off the blood and debris from the monsters on his clothes. It’s clothes anyway, because my wind magic can dry them quickly.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
To those women who came out of the water like wet fish, I held out my tail wand and cast the first rank magic, Dry Wind.
Although the amount of magical power was reduced as much as possible to avoid detection, it was as easy as drying a human body.
“Ah, it’s nice now.”
It was about time for Stella to smile with satisfaction.
aaa-.
A wind from somewhere shook the bushes and trees. Thanks to this, you can hear the rustling of leaves and branches.
this feeling.
It’s not unfamiliar either.
There are, however, some awkward parts. Stella, who was even brushing her hair as she was trying to figure out how to explain this to herself, said.
“I think this is a valley that was originally managed by nymphs. If you look here, do you see pictures painted on rocks or stones?”
It was only then, after Stella’s words, that I could see that the pictures were painted on the rocks and stones placed around the valley. There is a real picture.
Shrek.
Stella added, as I picked up a painted stone.
“It is said that nymphs with streams or ditches in charge mark their territory by drawing pictures or letters on stones like this. Of course, it’s hard to see something like this these days, when most of the nymphs are flocking to the city… .”
The paintings ranged from the spinning sun to birds, clouds and flowers and butterflies. Rather than a drawing to mark an area, it looks like a scribble drawn by a small child in a sketchbook.
“Actually, Stella-sama knows a lot. Professor.”
It was when I gave a light compliment to Stella.
At that time, Balaan said a word as if in a fury.
“It seems to be a painting using dyes made by washing and grinding flowers and grass. Me, I’m not that good at it, so don’t be ostentatious, Professor Stella.”
“What? When am I flirting? I’m just saying what I know. Of course, Professor Balan may sound like he’s bragging because his major is different… .”
Stella, who was about to say something, suddenly shut her mouth.
woohoo-.
At the same time, there was a huge earth rumble as if something was about to explode. In the shock of shaking the axis, I lost the stone I was holding in my hand.
“Oh.”
Stumbled to pick it up, I eventually fell to the floor. Of course, it was just a light fall, so I wasn’t hurt, so I was just about to shake my body and get up.
Suaaa
Trees swaying in the wind again. The trees that look higher because they are sitting on the floor are familiar. The view of the trees, the bushes, and the rocks in the creek is high and wide.
-After drawing flowers, I always draw butterflies as well.
– Butterfly.
-Yes, flowers have honey. Butterflies come to eat honey.
the gaze of a young child.
Yes, there was a sense of incongruity that was felt somewhere.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that I see, there are signs and pictures drawn on the base of the tree that only those who have lowered their posture can see.
“… I think I’ve been here before. maybe… .”
taken from noblemt l
Good bye, good bye
A fairy tree swaying with the sound of bells. The colorful pictures touch my eyes anew.
Yes, I’ve definitely been here before.
I can’t remember the details, but surprisingly, there are times when the memory of the body is better than the head.
My body felt as if the mud that had stuck to it dried up and cracked.
The sound of flowing water and the scent of flowers blooming somewhere.
full sound.
The smell of wet soil.
The sense that the world becomes more vivid. My heart is pounding as I feel that the limit of information my head can accept is greatly expanded.
As I was about to fall into my thoughts as if something came to mind, I felt someone grab my shoulder.
“Teo-kun! I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think this is the time to be like this! This monster seems to be on a different level!”
Stella Bellhawk.
Only then could I come to my senses. Now that I see it, the sound of something heavy and heavy hitting the ground resounds through the forest loudly.
Loud, sassy.
At the same time, the sound of a tree breaking was heard. I could sense that there was something huge, and it was coming towards us.
“I think I’m the owner of the forest around here… ! It’s not usually a sign… !”
