Helmut
Episode 286
Wow! OMG!
Kwasizik, Kwasizik!
The sound of a crash and the destruction of the forest echoed loudly.
It felt like a gust of wind was blowing. A gust of magic energy.
In the forest of Pahe full of demon energy, it was rare to feel the clash of demon energy so vividly and strongly.
‘Hehe, I guess I won’t get swept away at this rate.’
At some point, Asuka, who had no choice but to hide her presence, ran with all her might and left the scene, sighing in relief.
The two monsters were so large that if they were to be crushed to death while nearby, it would literally be a dog’s death.
Fortunately, Baharek didn’t care at all where the human brought by Elaga moved.
It was fortunate that he had a personality that looked down on humans.
Of course, Elaga was also a strong enough opponent that he could not pay attention to anything else.
‘The world of monsters is also extremely cruel.’
Asuka had rarely seen monsters in the outside world.
I had seen similar monsters through illusions during the academy exam, but the monsters I actually saw were beyond my imagination.
My whole body stiffened with tension, and my heart beat quickly on its own.
Asuka is also a strong-willed person, so it wasn’t to the point where she was paralyzed by fear, but the psychological pressure was enormous.
‘That’s why Helmut is so picky.’
Asuka glanced at the back where the fight was taking place and hurried down the street.
Head west like this.
It would be better for him to get as close to the sacred barrier as quickly as possible. Because this is the forest of digging!
The courage I had as a child to beat up everyone who came out was no longer there.
‘Of course that leopard named Elaga will win, right? What should I do if I lose?’
You can never go back through the western region again.
In that case, he will have to go out of Pahe Forest through the western barrier.
It was not an impossible task for Asuka, a swordsman who did not have a sprout of darkness and had considerable vis.
After reaching a conclusion, Asuka quickly moved her legs.
Even if there were monsters nearby, I think they would have run away seeing those two fighting like that. If there is someone who doesn’t… … .
‘… … what.’
Asuka, who was walking quickly while being wary of her surroundings, suddenly stopped. The atmosphere was somehow strange.
This silence where you can’t even hear the sound of bugs chirping. As if something was lurking, the demonic energy filling the air was swaying lightly like grass.
‘What kind of guy is this?’
I got goosebumps all over my body.
At least in the instinctive realm, he is as good as Helmut. Asuka’s bestial senses told her. The enemy is close!
Thump thump thump.
Thanks to its huge body, the sound could not be hidden. I saw a monster climbing a tree from the other side and approaching this way.
Rather than grabbing a tree branch, the movement feels like holding onto the tree trunk and skipping.
Asuka put her hand on the sword.
I jumped to the ground about ten steps in front of him.
thud!
The floor was dented.
Kirrrrrrr.
The guy made a strange sound and twisted his head.
‘Wow, it really looks like a monster.’
Even though I was thinking calmly, my spine felt numb. It was a monkey with three heads.
The blood vessels stood out on his red and ugly face. It truly looked like something that would only appear in a nightmare. It’s a nightmare that makes you shiver as soon as you see it and wake up!
The monkey monster drooled while looking at Asuka.
It’s human. batten. A delicious piece of meat. A mere prey.
That was a natural fact for the forest monsters of Pahe.
As the rulers of the two areas, Elaga and Baharek, clashed, the monsters in this area were running away for fear of sparks.
However, the monkey monster sensed Asuka’s presence and approached this place.
It means that he is strong enough to overcome his instincts and to be able to approach this level.
Asuka couldn’t tell, but surprisingly, it was similar to the monster that Helmut had defeated during his previous journey.
He’s a monkey, and he has magic. The monkey monster at that time was capable of taking on three second-class mercenaries alone.
Asuka immediately felt that her opponent was strong.
But he grinned.
“He’ll be fine as my opponent. “You have to catch a monster like this to be able to say you’ve been to the Forest of Pahe.”
I have already faced enough strong opponents.
Helmut was a special friend to Asuka.
When Helmut was there, Asuka felt a wall. A wall that cannot be overcome no matter what.
Before he appeared, the academy was full of boring and boring guys.
Even though she is stronger than Asuka now, with a little training she will catch up in no time. Those guys are just like that.
Even in the swordsmanship department of Greta Academy, where only talented students gathered, Asuka’s skills and talents were unrivaled.
However, because Asuka was a commoner, there were a lot of people who ignored her, looked down on her, and attacked her. Asuka proved her skills to them every time.
But Helmut was different from them.
The moment she first saw him, Asuka felt a chill.
I tried to pick a fight on purpose, but Helmut was calm. His dry eyes seem to be looking at something insignificant below him.
Unfortunately, it was true.
Even if I tried my best, I didn’t think I could catch up with Helmut.
An opponent who not only works tirelessly, but also surpasses you in talent. At the same time, he did not try to pressure this side, but instead extended his hand to help.
Life at the academy with Helmut and friends was fun.
Asuka’s boredom and boredom disappeared as if washed away. As if life had changed. Everything was ambitious.
Helmut appears and Asuka is motivated to become stronger. And after he disappeared, that motivation became even stronger.
When Area talked about Helmut’s situation, she said that she had to become stronger to save him.
Over the past four years, Asuka has never forgotten for a moment the proposition that she must become stronger.
Of course, it was not as absolute as Helmut’s attempt to leave the Forest of Pahe.
But at least it was enough to enlighten a genius swordsman named Asuka.
Asuka was currently capable of surpassing the level of a first-class mercenary. That means it has a power superior to that of three second-rate mercenaries.
Because power is more powerful when it is united than when it is divided into three. Especially if it is a prosecutor.
‘This monkey monster is different from Helmut.’
That means it is a wall that can be overcome. No matter how strong an opponent is, there is a difference between being able to overcome it and not being able to overcome it.
And he probably has no experience dealing with a proper human swordsman.
Cut it down and head to the western sacred barrier. A conclusion was reached quickly.
‘Is this guy a middle manager under the ruler of the area? It will work… … ?’
Even in the Forest of Pahe, it would be rare to find someone stronger than this guy.
‘If there are any more, they are dead, so let’s just assume that there are none.’
With positive thoughts, Asuka drew her sword.
“What do you think monkey meat tastes like? don’t you know? “You would have eaten your own people.”
Kirrr.
All three heads looked directly at Asuka.
A strangely upright human being. But even so, it is still food. You have to struggle to get the food into your stomach.
Wow!
Soon, the guy hit the ground with a scream and ran straight towards Asuka.
*
Coincidentally, the group heading to four locations – east, west, south, and north – found themselves in a completely opposite situation.
While Xian in the east and Charlotte in the south were doing well, Asuka in the west and Area and Helmut in the north were in trouble.
No, the expression ‘predicament’ was an understatement. Because it is a life-threatening situation.
The golem that Area and Helmut were riding was flying like an acrobatic to avoid the ice balls flying like crazy from below.
It wasn’t easy for either of them to hang in there. Helmut was holding the handle with one hand and clutching Area’s shoulder with the other.
That way, she could hang on without difficulty, but it seemed like she would bounce off at any moment as she was dangling.
‘Rampione, I guess I should thank that sneaky old man.’
A genius is a genius. I can’t believe a golem can move so dynamically.
It was not yet possible to create a golem of this size at Area’s level.
Thanks to bringing the golem, the dangerous place called Pahe Forest became somewhat easier.
Except for one problem.
‘I’m motion sick.’
Alea frowned.
I felt sick to my stomach as I tried to hang on to the golem that kept twisting its body.
Fortunately, we almost passed the lake. Now, if we entered the ice again, there would be nothing shooting from below.
We will be able to fly in peace again.
But that was an overly optimistic prediction.
When there was a moment of silence, three ice blocks flew towards the golem at the same time without time difference.
The golem quickly turned its body. Two were avoided, but one was not.
puck!
The tip of the wing was broken cruelly.
The golem, which couldn’t feel pain, didn’t make a sound, but Area sensed something strange.
That wing was literally paralyzed.
Although it was flying forward thanks to its acceleration, the golem began to lower its altitude in a parabola. No matter how much you flap your other wing, there is a limit.
The golem’s body spun around. He was just hanging there, her mind was dizzy.
Area gave a warning.
“Fall!”
Fortunately, the altitude wasn’t that high. Area prepared her flight magic.
However, it was not easy to use magic because I felt sick to my stomach.
Next to me, Helmut quickly opened his mouth.
“If we fly anyway, we will be the target this time, not the golem. “It’s better to get down on the ground.”
Dealing with something flying in the air is not easy for Helmut, the swordsman.
They were falling so rapidly that it was fortunate that there were no more attacks.
Area nodded.
“Then just land safely.”
“You will rise into the air for a moment, then recite the spell.”
I said this knowing that it was not easy to use magic in such an unstable situation.
As soon as Helmut spoke, he grabbed Area’s waist with one arm.
The moment the golem’s body turned and they were on top, he kicked the golem’s back and jumped.
puck!
As they jumped with Vis on their legs, their bodies soared upward through the sky. And soon it started falling down again.
Although it was closer than before, the ground was still far away.
If it falls like this, Helmut will be fine, but Area will not be able to avoid instant death.
The height is such that my whole body freezes and I naturally develop a fear of heights.
I got motion sick and lost my mind.
In the meantime, Area could barely concentrate and recited a spell.
“Silk of the wind.”
