Helmut
Episode 297
“It was such a trick. no wonder.”
Xian let out a sigh.
Ygrel didn’t seem to have a very good personality, but it was strange that he was obediently cooperating.
It didn’t seem like he was simply intimidated by Elaga, but I never thought he would have a plan like this.
Igrel had also heard about the method of breaking through the barrier explained by Area.
And according to the content, it was quite possible for Ygrel to break through the sacred barrier together. Ygrel also understood that.
Asuka raised her voice.
“What crazy talk. How can I go out with a monster that is the ruler of an area? “Dangerously.”
Surprisingly, Asuka was looking at the situation from the most altruistic perspective.
Ygrel was a monster capable of destroying a country. A being too dangerous to escape the control of the sacred barrier.
No matter how strong his divine power is as a demon, Ygrel is a bird.
If Igrell, who can freely fly in the sky where humans cannot reach, starts acting hostile towards humans, it will not be easy to kill him at the temple.
It was the same on Helmut’s side as well. In other words, once you leave the forest of Pahe, Ygrel becomes a being that is difficult to touch.
Ygrel shook his head.
[I don’t eat humans. I just dream of freedom. A bird as big and fast as me has the right to freely roam the skies of this world!
Why am I born in the Forest of Pahe, and am I trapped here just because I am a monster? Tell me.]
Rather than expressing resentment at having their freedom restricted, it was a look filled with pure doubt.
The humans looked at each other and swallowed their words. Because it’s dangerous? But that is logic from a human perspective.
Meanwhile, Area, who had finished thinking, calmly opened her mouth.
“Getting out of the barrier means risking your life, even for you, the ruler of the southern region.”
[I saw that child, Helmut, leaving the Forest of Pahe. I didn’t know the outcome, but I was jealous of that kid. That kid at least had some potential, right?
So Helmut could try. And it was successful.]
[If you’re jealous, you can jump into the barrier too.]
When Elaga reacted indifferently, Igrel snorted.
[Don’t be ridiculous, Elaga. I’ve been around the sacred barrier for a long time, but I knew it. Although I am the ruler of the southern region, if I had tried to pass through the barrier, my body would have been reduced to ashes.]
[Well, even I can’t get over it, so you can get over it? You understand the topic well.]
Igrel did not flinch despite Elaga’s provocation.
[Well, Helmut risked his life and went out to the Forest of Farhe, and I thought about risking my life for something. A very long time.
All my life I’ve dreamed of escaping the forest of Pahe. This might be my only chance in my life. So I must seize this opportunity. Even if I had to risk my life.]
[I knew it was a fool, but it was a planned fool. I should have kicked it out as soon as it came into my territory. So, what do you guys think?]
Elaga asked, dismissing Igrel’s spleen as if it were absurd.
Unlike Ygrel, Elaga was satisfied with life in the forest like a leopard.
The thoughts of birds and beasts are different.
Moreover, unlike the idle Igrel, Elaga has been busy raising Helmut and taking care of Susan and Sarah recently.
‘Well, it would be a bit boring if those guys disappeared.’
I wasn’t particularly impressed by the idea of Ygrel intervening.
But towards Elaga, Helmut opened his mouth.
“Elaga, let’s go out together.”
[…] … huh? Why me.]
Elaga, slightly embarrassed, closed her eyes. It’s like she hears everything. She also opened her mouth with a cautious look on her face.
“Helmut, no matter how much I raised you, you are still Elaga.”
The other people were just looking at each other in confusion.
Expectations bloomed on the faces of Susan and Sarah, who had been living with Elaga all this time.
I heard a lot about it. To them, humans were more dangerous than Elaga.
But that wasn’t the case for other humans. Elaga was a monster that could be said to be out of control.
Moreover, it is quite possibly the strongest monster in the Forest of Pahe. If something goes crazy, the damage will not only be inflicted on the country but also on the world.
Perhaps it will reach a level that will destroy humanity.
In any case, it is said that Ygrel can be defeated even if he is on the ground, but Elaga is a monster among monsters that can easily subdue even Helmut.
I didn’t think anyone could stop him.
However, it was Helmut who was driven out to the Forest of Pahe because of that danger.
He was a newborn baby and had not committed any sin. He just had a seed of darkness.
Because of that, he was treated as a monster who would one day lose his senses and go crazy and slaughter humans.
In fact, even though he saved Grand Duke Rinosa and Grand Duchess from a rampaging monster!
No one, whether Helmut or Elaga, had the right to be imprisoned in the Forest of Pahe.
If it is natural that Elaga cannot leave the Forest of Pahe because he is strong, then it is also natural that Helmut was driven out to the Forest of Pahe.
What the people of Linosa did becomes natural. It becomes natural that he was betrayed.
Helmut could not accept that logic.
Knowing this, everyone could only purse their lips and say nothing more.
[Did you hear? Aren’t you misunderstanding something? I am a monster. The ruler of the central region! I am an extremely dangerous being to humans.]
Elaga said proudly.
Elaga was a leopard who seemed like he would live well in the forest of Pahe without a second thought.
It didn’t seem like he particularly wanted to leave the forest of Pahe.
It was completely different from Ygrel. So this is Helmut’s greed.
‘I can’t help it. ‘The person I can trust the most is Elaga.’
Area might be sad to hear, but to Helmut, Elaga was more trustworthy than Area.
Elaga had done everything she could for Helmut, without any conditions, ever since she met him as a newborn.
Although their words and actions were harsh, it was truly the devotion of a parent caring for his or her child.
Therefore, being with Elaga was necessary for Helmut himself.
A powerful ally you can absolutely trust. If we work together, it will be a great help.
Besides, wouldn’t this be Elaga’s only chance to escape the forest of digging?
Elaga answered indifferently.
[What if I go around eating random humans?]
“You won’t do that.”
Elaga tilted her head in response to Helmut’s rebuttal.
[If you go out, you might change your mind. These guys here just look unappetizing.]
“Elaga said that. She said she wanted me to, so she let me go, but she said I came back broken. Do you think you would want to send it out again after seeing that? Aside from me, aren’t you worried about Susan and Sarah?”
Elaga’s eyes wavered at those words.
‘Well, even though he’s as strong as Kantra, this guy Helmut has a bit of a clumsy side to him. It wouldn’t be surprising if it happened again. Needless to say, those two are weaker than him.
Hmm, that won’t work. After all, humans are inadequate beings. ‘You have to keep taking care of it.’
Elaga was persuaded by Helmut’s logic. Before that, for some reason, he was upset because he didn’t feel like going out even though he listened to Helmut’s advice.
Strangely enough, even after hearing that Ygrel wanted to leave, Elaga did so.
Perhaps something that catches on his instincts. It seemed like his demonic nature was telling him to stay in the forest of Pahe.
But Helmut was right. The word worry is funny to a monster, but it could be replaced with another word.
Helplessness.
If she stays in the Forest of Pahe like this, Elaga won’t be able to do anything or know anything even if Helmut, Susan, and Sarah die outside.
Even Elaga didn’t want that.
[Okay, let’s go. Go out and do as you said, I will not eat humans. However, whether it is a temple or a Rinosa temple, they are different stories. If you even try to attack me, then.]
Elaga raised her mouth and growled fiercely.
[I’ll chew you up from head to toe.]
“Then it has been decided. “Everyone here is leaving.”
Area concluded calmly. She had already discussed this matter with Helmut.
I didn’t expect Ygrel to intervene in such an extreme way, but we talked about the possibility of going out with Elaga.
Elaga would be a good force. Moreover, even if Ygrel goes out with him, he can be controlled if Elaga is with him.
Because monsters instinctively follow monsters that are stronger than them.
If Igrel went out, Elaga had to go out with him. Since Ygrel destroyed the golem, it was best for them to fly away on Ygrel.
The unexpected number of people increased by two.
Others accepted the conclusion without comment anyway.
Ygrel acted harshly, not harshly.
[I can’t believe we’re going all the way to Elaga together! Are you telling me to carry that big leopard on my back? I’d run out of strength and fall before I could break through the barrier! No, I don’t know if I can fly before then. My wings won’t be able to stand it and will break!]
Elaga and Ygrel’s bodies were equal in size. But his weight was very different.
Birds are basically light and fly by catching animals much smaller than themselves.
Area opened her mouth as if she had thought about it in advance.
“Ella will cast a lightening spell on you. I hope it doesn’t resist magic. “It takes a lot of magic power to cast a spell on you.”
[How much lighter do I become?]
Elaga’s eyes lit up with interest.
Area responded.
“It would be impossible to reduce the weight of one person, but it would be possible to reduce the weight of five people. “It’s probably more important to strike a balance.”
Because it is large, it occupies a large area in places such as Igrel.
Moreover, it was Elaga who alone weighed the weight of dozens of humans.
In the first place, unless you are a magician of Area’s level, you cannot apply light weight magic that strongly.
Even though he claimed to be the mount, Igrel grumbled.
[There are already seven, but five are being added? Oh my, I have to fly with that leopard on my back! Elaga, don’t dig your claws into my back!]
[What is he saying now. Who told you to be so small and weak?]
[Who is weak? This fat leopard!]
[fat… … You say you do? Can’t you see this sleek body with your eyes?]
While the two were arguing childishly, Xian raised his hand.
“And here is the elemental wizard. The wind spirit will also be helpful.”
