Helmut
Episode 497
The entire wall shook as if there had been an earthquake. An enormous wave spread in all directions, causing the entire atmosphere to vibrate.
Igrel, who was taking a short nap in his room, opened his eyes. Her stone dust was falling down and staining her extraordinarily gorgeous hair.
She immediately got up from her seat.
“What kind of guy is this?”
I decided not to help humans. Because that is unbecoming of a monster.
‘But isn’t it different if you touch me?’
How dare you make a fuss when I am there. While thinking contradictory thoughts, Igrel immediately left the room and headed toward the stairs.
The surroundings were full of noise and dust, and people were running around like crazy. There is chaos all over the place.
When Ygrel stood on the wall, he realized what had happened.
There was a pile of shattered rock fragments under the wall, and the lingering feeling of collision and destruction was palpable.
“this… … Ygrel, what’s going on here?”
Xian, who was sprawled out with a pale face, immediately showed his alertness. Her powers have been exhausted and if she gets distracted at this point it will be the end of her.
Ygrel glanced at him and said as if it was no big deal. “It’s so loud, it makes me angry.”
“yes?”
“I was planning to take a nap.”
“I see… … .”
Just as Xian’s expression was about to become awkward, Igrel suddenly spoke.
“So this is absolutely not helping.”
Ygrel immediately opened his magic energy on the spot. The light spread like it was rising above the wall.
Kwazijic! The next moment, a huge bird with colorful wings was standing there.
“Ygrel?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the monster that suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, there were people who remembered the situation when Ygrel first appeared, so there were no attacks.
[Leave the things in the sky to me.]
After all, humans are beings who need to lend their own help. I can’t do anything on my own.
Ygrel spread his wings. And the next moment, it shot up into the sky.
[Silly things. Who is your master?]
The moment I saw Ygrel, my wings fluttered. The flying monsters realized their disrespect and turned their backs and ran away.
In a place like this, you are the ruler of the southern region!
Like a migratory bird being chased by an eagle, Igrel leisurely chased after those who were running away. However, the speed was unusually fast.
It was a time of retribution.
* * *
An expected collision occurred on the side of the wall, and a familiar demonic energy surged. Baharek felt strongly that the flying monsters were breaking away from his control and frowned.
To begin with, those who are of the flying type are strongly influenced by Ygrel’s dominance.
[Igrell guy, I heard he won’t come out… … .]
I don’t like it. Why on earth do these guys, who are the rulers of Pahe Forest, side with humans?
Elaga was like that and even Ygrel. The Cowardly Turtle says he doesn’t want to get out of the North Sea, but he would have sided with Naho if he was dead. It’s a regrettable moment.
‘I don’t know how far they’ll intervene, but if that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to use the next move.’
Bacharek was building up his plan in an unusually detailed manner. The demonic nature that grew under the influence of the demon king who once appeared in the Forest of Pahe helped him grow. Both physically and mentally.
‘The greatest force that protects the wall is… … ‘It must have been exhausted.’
It is the spirit of the earth, the power of nature, etc., but humans are the ones who control that power.
There is a limit to human physical strength. Baharek aimed for that limit. And I think it’s time.
Immediately after Baharek appeared and strengthened his control, Helmut and his party were struggling against the frenzied attacks of monsters surrounding them.
I couldn’t help but focus my attention on the wall where the huge collision occurred, and even if Baharek rushed at me, he was maintaining a distance that would have been enough to just run away.
To begin with, he didn’t particularly feel a sense of camaraderie toward the monsters of Pahe Forest.
It is natural for the weak to obey the strong. To Baharek, monsters are just expendables. Still, I can’t waste it in vain.
‘Now it’s step 2.’
Baharek gathered demonic energy from his stomach and roared.
[Kwaaaaaaan!]
The roar of a ferocious tiger that elicited fear spread all over the place.
It was like a spell. A spell to announce an attack!
Baharek’s army was divided into three. One in the sky, one here, and the last one… … .
“Oh my, can you feel it?”
Area looked at Helmut. Helmut killed three of her monsters at the same time and looked back at her.
“Baharek, what are you doing?”
Helmut was strong. Enough for him to catch the monsters and Baharek here. But there were restrictions. There were also things that had to be protected.
I looked for a few opportunities to attack Baharek, but if I did so, one of the axes protecting the tank would collapse.
After he leaves, only Levant can withstand the monsters’ maddening offensive. That’s why he couldn’t move quickly.
But now this. Along with Baharek’s roar, wave-like movement was felt from the other side.
The things that had been holding their breath were rushing in all at once. Not towards the wall, but towards the rock cliff standing tall next to the wall!
It was not an insurmountable barrier for a monster with tremendous leaping ability and strength.
Until now, they had only instinctively moved towards the wall full of humans. Following the instinct of a monster that craves prey.
And here, an order was given that went beyond instinct. Baharek’s orders were absolute. No monster had any doubt that it was for victory.
Baharek will give them freedom and human blood and flesh.
Area warned.
“Xian’s energy has dimmed. He can’t stop it alone. If this continues, the barrier will be breached.”
Helmut had never fought like this before. When he went to the front and fought, what he left behind was always intact.
But that wasn’t the case anymore. The opponent’s hidden moves were more powerful than he thought.
It’s time to decide. Should I focus on Baharek or go back and protect him?
But something strange happened.
* * *
[Are we here?]
Elaga tilted her head. After receiving lots of cuteness in the village for a while, he started running towards his destination again.
I found out the location by looking at the map in the house where I was captured. The map, which depicted the forest of Pahe as a huge black area, even clearly showed the current location of the village.
After looking at the map, Elaga took advantage of the humans’ absence and escaped through the window.
‘I was lucky.’
It’s so frustrating that I’m going crazy as I’m running as a cat over and over again, the distance I would have to run as a huge leopard in a month. I had to meet Helmut quickly and find my true self.
No matter day or night, Elaga kept running. She didn’t know how long she had run like that, but when she thought she was slowly reaching her destination, she suddenly felt a certain energy.
Goosebumps rising on your skin. It was something I had never felt in the demon world.
[It’s divine power!]
[It’s natural. Shouldn’t the temple be at the forefront when dealing with monsters? It means you came to the right place.]
Elaga frowned. Her divine power was still abhorrent.
[I really don’t miss this. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, it’s so unpleasant that I feel like I’m going to vomit.]
[That’s just because I keep running. I think we’re almost there.]
[Yes, thank you so much for letting me know. You useless guy!]
It wasn’t long before Mute opened his mouth.
[The atmosphere is chaotic. There seems to be a battle going on.]
Ella, too, was feeling the confused and tangled energy. It’s not an ordinary battle.
The collision that occurred on the wall was causing huge ripples. But strangely enough, the magical energy felt there was minimal.
Because the battle of Helmut and his party was being overshadowed by the aftermath of the conflict.
[I know. Is this an earth spirit? It looks like Helmut’s friend is there.]
[His name is Xian.]
As Mute kindly informed her, Elaga snorted.
[What do I need to know about other humans? I just need to know Helmut’s girlfriend’s name. The name was Area, right? Are those guys mating and getting along well?]
After running until I was exhausted, my heavy steps came back to life. Is it finally time for reunion? Go to the demon world, and then from the demon world back to the human world. It was a really long journey. But Elaga came back.
‘It means that it has to be at this level to be the strongest monster.’
It is not only the strongest monster in Pahe Forest, but is now the strongest monster in the demon world. The Demon King, who was no different from a mental body, was naturally left aside.
As Elaga ran with pride, a high rocky mountain caught her eye. It was a steep cliff that looked as if it would fall if it went awry.
[Okay, is that there? It’s something high.]
As we approached a little to the side, the wall was not visible because it was exquisitely obscured by a rocky cliff.
[Let’s go up quickly.]
[Don’t urge me, you guy. I’m going up, are you going up?]
The only advantage that Mutt brings is that it is not boring. Elaga diligently climbed the endless cliff.
It was a forced march that even he, a monster, could not help but be exhausted from. The highlight of the forced march was this cliff. But that too came to an end.
Elaga finally stood tall on the cliff. And saw.
[What, it’s not this mountain.]
The moment I saw the human structure attached to the other side of the cliff, my heart sank. Why on earth did you go through all this trouble to climb up here?
Elaga naturally turned his arrow towards Mute.
[You bastard, let’s go up! Did you make me suffer on purpose?]
[It’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t know it would be like this either.]
[Is it all just a misunderstanding? Can’t you be of some help?]
[There is nothing to be angry about. You have arrived at your destination. Isn’t that a barrier?]
[Okay, if you go over there, you can meet Helmut, right? Oh, but.]
Elaga’s eyes suddenly moved. Countless points of magical energy were coming. Not towards the wall, but towards this rocky mountain he is standing on!
[What are these guys?]
Mute answered correctly this time.
[It looks like they will take a detour to the side and attack the wall. The dominance of Baharek, the ruler of the western region, is felt.]
After a while, Elaga clicked her tongue as she realized the situation that had suddenly unfolded.
[Baharek, have you come to your senses yet?]
[What are you going to do?]
[What should I do? How dare these flock to where I am? I have to show them my lesson!]
Elaga’s eyes flashed fiercely. The monsters under Baharek’s control faithfully climbed the cliff to the top.
Without knowing what awaits at the end.
When they finally reached the top, they saw something. A small white cat that could kill you with one bite.
But, as if overcome by instinct, they stopped. A sense of death and fear. A monster can never ignore that.
[Kyaaaaaaa!]
Soon, a sharp cry rang out as if it tore through the air. Although the voice was weak, the terrifying magical energy contained in it stopped the approaching monsters and pierced their spirit.
Baharek’s dominance was shaken. And a new dominance began to take over them.
It was the return of Elaga, the ruler of the Forest of Pahe.
