Chapter 119 – Cyclops
The sun doesn’t even rise.
The concept of time disappears in this forest filled with nothing but darkness.
How long have you been wandering here?
A week? One month? Maybe less than a day.
Those of us who came to stop [Erosion] Walked silently, dealt with [Erosion] Monsters when they attacked, and went to sleep when we were tired.
No one said it out of their mouth, but this idea must have sprouted in everyone’s heart.
Can you really find out who is behind [Erosion] Just by walking around like this?
In this place where you can’t see an inch ahead, you lose not only time but even your sense of direction.
You can’t find it by wandering around like this.
If someone saw it, they might think it stupid, asking why they didn’t light a fire.
‘Who doesn’t know that.’
Here, in the Black Forest, even if you light a fire with magic, there is no light.
As if the light had been swallowed up by the overwhelming darkness.
The flame only created a small warmth and shimmer.
15 Meters.
In this forest, you can only see 15 meters from yourself.
Oddly enough, despite the lack of light, he can see clearly within 15 meters of himself.
Because of that, since I came here, I have been relying more on my other senses than sight.
Phenomenon that cannot be explained by common sense.
There is no other way even though there are a lot of talented people like this.
That’s probably why this place is one of the five forbidden areas.
On the other hand, Dina didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.
No… Should I say I feel better?
Once I even asked why.
“Just… For some reason, I feel at ease.”
She answered and said nothing.
Perhaps it has something to do with her characteristic [Reverse Heaven] And the dark magic that originated from it?
It was to the point where I could feel that she was using dark magic more freely and comfortably than outside.
‘I was excited.’
Unusually, when only [Erosion] Monsters appear, they spray magic with excitement.
It’s cute to see him smile proudly after that.
Uh… It’s cute.
Seeing the corpse torn to pieces in front of her like that, the sense of disparity….
“Um.”
Still, she seemed in a good mood, so she didn’t bother to say anything about it.
Garlowin stood at the forefront, groping for a way.
Behind it, you can see Charwen and Seria, who have become close friends and are whispering whispers.
I don’t know exactly what they’re talking about because it’s so far away.
And behind the scenes, Rukia and Pak Se-rin are fighting, but they often stick together and chatter.
“I thought I could catch it alone?”
“Don’t lie. I saw everything you almost got bitten earlier.”
“No! That was all induction!”
“Oh, yes.”
And at the very back, Dina and I were walking side by side.
… But isn’t it subtly a bit close?
I don’t have a bad relationship with Dina, but somehow I feel a lot closer than usual.
Moreover, since the day Dina and Kami got together recently and clung to me all day, I felt a little distant.
I didn’t know about her until recently, but once the back of Dina’s hand brushed past hers, I became conscious of it for some reason.
“… ….”
I glanced at her and saw that she was slightly diverting her gaze….
She could tell by her slightly reddened ears that I wasn’t the only one conscious.
Still, it doesn’t seem like she hates it because she doesn’t intentionally keep her distance.
I was going to take this opportunity to talk to her to improve our relationship a bit.
“Hey, Dina-.”
Whoops.
The ground shook violently once, and the forest suddenly became noisy.
The branches of the black trees shake and rustle.
Even the [Erosion] Monsters that never made a sound of footsteps until they fought are running wild.
“Come!”
Garlowin, who was at the front, stopped and shouted.
At that voice, everyone immediately got ready to fight.
Hwaaah!
Dozens of wolves appeared at once in the blinding darkness.
But the wolves rushed past us as if they didn’t care about us.
And watching that scene, Park Se-rin gave a small shout.
“Monsters who were not affected by [Erosion]!”
“For what reason….”
Monsters with no signs of [Erosion] Ran towards one place as a group.
And there was a sound with a big vibration from the side where they protruded.
“Did he run away?”
Untamed monsters are close to animals and act according to their instincts.
As soon as they realized that they were an unmatchable enemy, they all chose to run away together.
And that’s what makes them run away to the side where those monsters jumped out….
Koo-woong!
As soon as I thought about it, I heard a dull sound in front of me.
Sounds like hitting a huge tree with a giant hammer.
“… Could this be footsteps?”
Koo-woong! Cooong! Cooong! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
Along with someone’s voice, the sound got faster and closer.
Quaaa!
It appeared, shattering the tree in front of it.
“Cyclops!”
The giant god with one eye stuck in the center of his face threw his fist at us.
Quaaagh!
Everyone threw their bodies in time, though they didn’t get hit directly.
“Crazy….”
Only a huge crater remained in the place where Cyclops’ fist had been lodged.
“Oohhhhh!”
The Cyclops roared and lunged once more and began to strike him with his fists at random.
Quaaang! aaagh! Kwaaang! Bang!
However, its power was so overwhelming that each one shook the earth.
However, Cyclops is not naturally like that.
Although there have been occasional cyclops with violent tempers, most of them are known for their gentle and calm personalities.
But now it was running amok as if resisting something.
“[Erosion]!”
At the same time, someone shouted that.
A red shadow covering Cyclops’ body.
From noble mtl dot com
However, it is not an erosion body.
Because the whole body of an eroded body that has been completely [Eroded] Should be covered in red shadows.
However, only half of that cyclops body was covered in red shadows.
That means….
The sword taken out of the subspace bracelet flashed with a purple light.
Chow ah ah!
A bloody purple sword was fired and hit Cyclops’ arm.
The sword attack couldn’t even cut properly, and the weave only left a single scratch.
‘Am I in the same state as Park Se-rin last time?’
Almost all of them were eaten by [Erosion] And are running amok.
“Oohhh!”
Cyclops raises one of his feet high and steps hard.
Wooooo!
The hard floor bursts powerlessly, and dirt and debris from broken stones splatter in all directions.
As I swung my sword away from the rubble that obscured my view, I saw the back of the Cyclops’ head charging towards Sharwen.
Chow ah! Chew!
The tentacles protruding from Seria’s eyes slashed Cyclops’ arms.
Quaaa!
The floor exploded and a spectacular column of fire rose and engulfed the Cyclops.
Of course, there is no way you can see the pillar of fire from here.
That was Rukia’s fantasy.
In the meantime, Sharwen, who escaped from the Cyclops, shoots fire that cannot be seen due to the darkness and only shimmers.
However, the Cyclops does not give in at all and rushes towards Charwen once more.
Cheer Leureuk!
The black fact summoned by Dina grabbed the body of Cyclops, but the chains began to crack from the overwhelming force.
“Junior!”
Pak Se-rin called me and drew her sword first and ran, and I ran after her and sprayed sword energy at Cyclops.
Chew! Chow ah!
Large and small sword blades dug into Cyclops’ skin, but it didn’t have much effect.
Caang!
In the end, Dina’s chain was completely destroyed and Cyclops’ fist hit the spot where Sharwen was.
Quaaang!
The heavens and the earth shake, and the trees behind them collapse in shock.
At that time, everyone will reach that scene.
“Wow f*ck. I thought you were going to die.”
Sharwen appeared from behind Garlowin, sweating profusely and swearing.
Within that short period of time, Garlowin spread space magic and saved Sharwen.
All of these workshops took place in less than two seconds.
“Kurrr.”
Cyclops raised his head with a low growl like a beast’s cry.
Eyes glistening with madness turned to Garlowin, who had pulled out Sharwen.
Sharwen, who looked at those mad eyes from behind, muttered a bloody laugh.
“Sometimes bloody.”
And those words as a signal.
Koo-woong!
Cyclops kicked off the ground and started running.
“… But why me…… ?”
Weren’t you aiming for Garlowin and Charwen?
Taat! I immediately kicked off the ground and threw myself sideways, and the tree I was riding on shattered and exploded.
And Cyclops is quite fast for his size.
When I looked at Cyclops again, my field of vision was filled with its fists.
