Helmut
Episode 296
“Ugh!”
Xian’s scream rang out loudly.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on him who had rolled off Elaga’s back.
Cian, who collided with the floor, frowned and covered his face with both hands.
Elaga muttered, shaking her tail.
[Oh, it’s annoying. My work is finished with this.]
I really wandered around the forest of Pahe without any worries.
It was also Ella’s first time traveling through such a large area in the Forest of Pahe. I stepped on land I had never stepped on before.
Now that all that work was done, Elaga felt somewhat relieved.
Sitting on the floor, completely pale, Xian cast a recovery spell on herself.
he muttered.
“Ugh, what is this?”
“I only came for a short ride, but I’m going to kill you.”
Asuka, who had rested and felt refreshed during this time, blurted out.
Unlike Charlotte, he did not extend his hand to Sian.
After a while, Sian got up and looked around.
“Is everyone here? “What about Helmut and Area?”
“You are the third. “Those guys are the only ones who didn’t come.”
“Those guys are also a problem when they come. You’ll have to come across the northern territory. Even if it’s okay on the way, isn’t it a problem if you run into Kantra on the way back? “Elaga, don’t you need to go there?”
Sian, who was the most intelligent among the dogs, turned his head towards Elaga.
Ygrel, who arrived long ago, was out of the question.
No one wanted anything from Igrel, who was just hanging out and playing around with only Charlotte.
Strangely enough, although Ygrel was a great monster that was the ruler of the southern region, it did not feel threatening.
Even though he had the power to wipe out all the humans in the area when his master was away, no one was very conscious of Igrel’s existence.
They just think of it as a talkative and foolish bird.
Elaga responded calmly.
[I didn’t raise that guy Helmut to be so weak… … Here he comes.]
Elaga suddenly turned her head to the north and frowned.
Everyone followed Elaga’s gaze, but nothing caught their eye.
After some time passed, two people appeared from there. Helmut had black hair and Alea had silver hair, contrasting like black and white.
Asuka grinned and waved her hand.
“Hey, last place.”
Alea and Helmut’s expressions hardened strangely. This is because they were both honor students, far from last place.
Helmut opened his mouth. Meaning they are last.
“It looks like everyone came back fine.”
Although it was expected, everyone seemed to have succeeded properly, including activating the adamantium and returning.
Things went smoothly. Ever since Area and the others entered the Forest of Pahe, everything had been going well. As if some current was leading them.
Area gently shook her head.
‘But it’s still too early to feel safe. The final step remains.’
It probably started moving in the temple.
I haven’t heard how to stop them, but I can only hope that Heike and Antiol will do well.
‘After a while, we will recover our magic power and break through the barrier as soon as we are ready.’
Sian asked a question.
“Anyway, it looks like it’s cold in the north. How was it there? Seeing as you guys came back on time, it looks like nothing much happened… … .”
Area frowned.
“A lot of things happened. It was the worst. Near the northern barrier is a large sea with an entirely frozen surface.
Since divine power does not affect the water, monsters approaching from the water will not attack you even if you are close to the barrier. “Even the point where the adamantium was to be installed was underwater.”
[The sea? Somehow, the turtle is the owner. It was all like that. It’s a good thing I didn’t go.]
Elaga trembled.
No matter how strong he was in the Forest of Pahe, swimming or fighting in ice-cold water was something he wanted to avoid.
No matter how much power there is, it is difficult for a leopard to win against a turtle in the sea.
[Even around the barrier, it is rare to find someone like me who goes back and forth near the barrier alive.]
Ygrel, who was lying down, lifted his head and said.
“But you guys walked? “What about the golem?”
Sian looked around and asked.
Area took out the golem that had been placed in subspace again. A place where he fell once and fell to the ground. Although he recovered, he was not in perfect condition.
“We can’t leave right now. I need to repair the golem. In the meantime, everyone is resting. I need to bring my condition to its peak. Xian, what about the magic stone? “Isn’t it necessary?”
“Just give me about five more. You’ll need it when breaking through the barrier. What happened further north?”
Xian showed curiosity.
Area broke the magic stone and gave magic power to the golem, explaining what they had experienced in the north.
Before we knew it, those who had been away were also appearing one by one, listening to Area’s story.
“That was really hard work.”
Sian and Charlotte looked at each other shyly.
Compared to Helmut, Area, and Asuka, those who went to the south and east were no different from leisurely fun.
In particular, Charlotte became sullen for some reason. He thought I was the only one who had the easiest task.
On the other hand, Elaga and Ygrel, who learned about Kantra, paid attention to the other side.
[You mean Kantra was such a coward? For some reason, he seemed particularly quiet compared to the other guys.]
[The coward has settled into an area that suits me. No one will be interested in him. While I was flying through the sky, I never saw Kantra. Is there any way they can be seen if they are hiding under the water like that?]
[Why are you targeting me? There is no one among the rulers of the area who likes fighting at sea.]
After grumbling, he immediately realized something and immediately turned his head to Helmut.
[Rather than that, Helmut, no matter how much of a coward you are, are you saying you are capable of dealing with Kantra?]
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Helmut.
You plunged a sword into Kantra’s neck. That means Helmut’s state has reached a level where he can rip out Kantra’s magical energy.
No matter how careless Kantra was, and even though it was a special situation filled with divine power in the air, it was an unusual fact.
“Ah, that’s right. I am… … .”
After a while, Helmut seriously expressed his judgment about his skills. In some ways, this may sound arrogant.
“I think I’ve reached a similar level as Darian.”
Everyone was silent.
Susan and Sarah didn’t know much about Darian, but they knew that he was a swordsman and a swordsman that even Elaga could not use lightly.
A young man who has just become a young adult. Discussing swordsmanship at only 19 years old!
Of course, Helmut is not the type to lie. So it may be true, but it is not an easy truth to accept.
Asuka made a sound of disbelief.
“Crazy, how old are you and you have reached the level of a swordsman!”
“Don’t get excited. “It looks like it doesn’t exist.”
Xian calmly stopped Asuka. But he also looked surprised.
“That’s amazing. I thought you were a genius, but I never thought it would be that much. “I can’t even name Asuka.”
Asuka was furious.
“But you also can’t even show your name in front of Area!”
“That’s right, I accepted that fact calmly and acknowledged it long ago. “You’re acting like you can’t admit it right now.”
“this… … this!”
The reason Asuka didn’t hit Xian at that moment was because Charlotte was next to her.
Asuka blinked and looked at her, and Asuka quickly calmed down.
Elaga, who looked up and down Helmut without paying attention to what they were talking about, made a sound of disappointment.
[what? Did I think too highly? There was nothing special about Darian either. When that person was alive, he acted so upright. He should have shown his true worth once.]
Elaga had no idea that she had become stronger after eating Naho’s core.
Ygrel intervened.
[A human with a seed of darkness has reached the peak of human technology, is this it? That’s fun.]
And Ygrel, who tilted his head to one side, immediately flapped his wings and shouted.
[Okay, I’ve decided!]
Before anyone could ask what he had decided, Igrel radiated magical energy all over his body.
In an instant, the dense magical energy that exploded weighed down my body. As the humans around her all reached for their weapons, Elaga let out her anger.
[You, Ygrel! Now I’m finally seeing my true colors… … !]
Are you trying to attack humans here? As soon as the question came to mind, Grell’s magical energy was carried on his upright feathers and shot out to one place.
There was a golem from Area. It was the same golem that had been hit with a magic stone and was now almost fully recovered.
Kwasik!
A shock similar to that of falling from thin air hit the golem. The golem, which was pierced by a few fired feathers, was instantly tattered.
“What!”
Area quickly checked the golem’s condition.
Fortunately, Ygrel’s attack narrowly missed the core, so the golem was not completely destroyed.
If you apply magical power again, it will recover.
Area quickly measured the magic power required.
‘If this happens, there will be very little magic stones left.’
Even if the golem is repaired, a huge amount of magical energy is consumed to break through the weakened sacred barrier.
It may not be impossible to break through the barrier with the current surplus of magic stones, but it will be very close.
‘But why is this monster… … .’
Rather, Ygrel’s intentions were the problem. I couldn’t figure out why he was acting like this out of nowhere. No matter how unpredictable and capricious he may be, hasn’t Ygrel cooperated obediently until now?
Even now, he was relaxing as if nothing was a big deal while receiving all the attention being paid to me.
[Ygrel, how dare you enter my territory… … . Are you crazy because you want to die?]
Elaga bared her teeth.
The magical energy that seemed to be weighing down the entire body was released from the white leopard with an intensity that was incomparable to when Ygrel exploded the magical energy.
Ygrel responded calmly.
[Calm down, Elaga. Humans are scared. I didn’t hurt anyone, so what are you doing?]
In reality, the only thing he touched was a golem.
[There is no need to say anything. If you’re going to disturb me like this, I’ll rip your wings off and make you look like Naho!]
However, at the words Igrel threw, Elaga, who was about to rush in, stopped.
[Then it must be difficult to escape the barrier?]
At those words, the eyes of some people wavered. Area placed her hand on Helmut’s shoulder as if to stop him, as he reached for his sword.
Elaga realized something similar and frowned.
[Are you talking as if you can easily escape the barrier?]
Ygrel said confidently.
[That’s right, if this body is together, we will be able to break through the sacred barrier more easily than that golem.]
