chapter 37
37 – Their Love
The entrance to the Devil’s Forest is not very difficult, and most of the parties succeeded in entering [Vera], The middle part.
As if there is a boundary line, if you pass a certain part, it becomes rapidly hot and humid, and you can think of it as Vera.
“Wow, it’s really hot…”
“I’m annoyed that my body has become sticky.”
“Ugh… You must be sweating profusely.”
“Hey, it’s a demon!”
“Where?!”
“I catch that!”
“Ah! I found it!”
A grade F at the entrance to the Forest of Demonic Landscape. At best, E-class monsters appeared, so now, the students in this party thought that this monster was no big deal.
But this is where [Vera] At least E~D level monsters come out.
And the monsters they met.
D-class monster [Hwarang].
It was a beast in the form of a flaming tiger.
A female student found Hwarang and rushed at Hwarang.
“Ha!”
But as Hwarang roared with her mouth wide open, fire came out of her mouth and attacked the female students.
“Kyaaagh!”
“Iri!”
“This guy! Sutan!”
Another student extinguished the fire by blowing a grenade at Airi, who was on fire, and another student jumped high and put all her power into her sword.
“hahahaha!”
But her sword couldn’t pierce her thick Hwarang’s hide, and her Hwarang’s mighty blow struck her.
“Keep it off!”
The impact sent my body flying backwards. Then Hwarang moved quickly and rushed at the healers who had no one to protect them.
Aang!
“No!”
There is no one to protect them. If caught by the sharp teeth of a hwarang, she dies instantly in that condition. It was too late to run at full speed due to the distance.
Annihilation. The faces of all the students at the party were colored with despair.
Just when Hwarang arrived at Healer and was about to bite their necks.
Kang!
Hwarang’s sharp teeth and beautiful black light collided with the spinning sword.
In a frightened state, the students of the Department of Divinity looked up and saw a person wearing a teacher’s uniform and a mask.
“Ikeul…Professor…?”
“Yes.”
Ichle turned around and kicked Hwarang in the face.
Kleureung-!
Hwarang seemed annoyed and tried to blow fire out of her mouth, but in an instant, she was forced to shut her mouth with a front kick from Ichul, who came right in front of Hwarang.
Boom!
Moreover, the fire that was supposed to be blown out exploded in her mouth when her mouth was closed and couldn’t get out.
Kheung-!
Hwarang cried out in pain and started to run away.
And Ikeul, who was watching the scene, calmly opened his mouth.
“Airi, Biritz, Gambia, Horone, Kiri, Gantz, and Hans Party are annihilated. They are eliminated.”
++++
After that, 10 parties were eliminated as soon as they entered the midway point.
Approximately 70 people dropped out.
Most of them were the ones who were eliminated because they were careless or behaved arrogantly, even though they could easily see the forest of the demonic world and think it was easy.
I looked to my right.
There was Seri Aporte talking to Professor Kiria with a kind, pretentious face.
“Haa…”
I don’t know how this happened.
She said she loved me.
“Why the hell?”
I didn’t understand it with common sense.
Yeah, when I was in Astria, he acted like he was impatient because he couldn’t bother me that much, but when I left the party with a letter I wrote swearing at him, he suddenly made a fuss about liking me?
“Are you a pervert who likes to be criticized?”
It was a question.
Then, as if feeling my gaze, Seri Aporte turned to me.
Ugh!
Her eyes turned to my appearance, as if her appearance from talking to Professor Kiria just now was a lie.
Feels like licking the whole body.
Really… Disgusting… I felt like I was going to die.
++++
Hockey’s party also entered Vera.
However, the sun was starting to set.
There are many bugs in such a hot and humid place. In addition, because of the bugs that become more active at night, you may not be able to sleep well.
This means that adapting to extreme situations is an unconditionally necessary training.
In the case of Abur and Reina, however, they could use ice magic, so they could overcome hot places and prevent bugs from approaching, but a hockey party without that ability was like hell.
Besides…
“Baby~ ah~”
“Thank you~”
Thanks to Oliver and Laeri who suddenly started dating, I felt more crazy.
How this happened goes back an hour.
Oliver had already fallen in love with Laeri during Dalian, but Laeri hadn’t.
Just as Oliver was watching her, one D-class and three E-class monsters attacked them.
Haki quickly pulled out a scythe from the subspace and slashed at the D-class monster’s face, and Oliver pulled out his sword as well as Laeri to assist Haki.
[Super Advanced Magic]
[Hand of the Goddess]
Flora also gave her strength by giving her a buff that was helpful in battle, and Kaeri, who was being accumulated by Flora, also ran around healing her injured people and restoring her magical power.
The problem was then.
Kuaaa!
Kals couldn’t overcome the E-class beast’s punch and fell backwards, and rushed at Laeri.
It was difficult to defend against another beast coming from behind when you were already in charge of one beast.
On the verge of being attacked by the Demonic Beast that finally approached the end.
Oliver threw himself behind Laeri and took the attack instead.
The beast’s sharp claws tore Oliver’s back, and he was seriously injured.
“Oliver!”
“Oliver!”
Surprised, they shouted, and Haki received Flora’s buff and pierced the Class D monster’s mouth with a scythe, then ran towards Laeri.
The huge scythe swept the neck of the E-class monster, and the situation was over.
Surprised, Flora healed Oliver with her enlarged eyes, but her skills were still not enough.
“No… Mr. Oliver…”
Tears flowed from Laeri’s eyes.
She said what she was, what she was to him, and threw her body here and saved himself until he was badly injured.
“Huh…No…”
“Raeli…”
Oliver raised his hand and wiped La Erie’s tears.
“You look great when you smile.”
Oliver’s words were so weak that he trembled.
“Ah…”
Raeli grabbed Oliver’s hand.
“No…Please…”
“It’s such an honor for Laeri to cry for me.”
Oliver said with a laugh.
“I like it.”
“…Yes?”
“It’s been a while since we met, but I was fascinated by your strength.”
“Ah…No…Don’t tell me…The wounds are opening…”
“I love you. Please be happy.”
Oliver’s eyelids began to relax.
“No…No…No!!”
Raeli screamed and wailed.
“Ah- there…”
Flora raised her hand cautiously.
La Eri, who was crying sadly, lifted her face, and her tears seemed to cover her entire face.
But Flora said embarrassingly.
“Is the wound healed?”
“…Yes?”
“So…”
Flora looked behind her.
Following that gaze, Raeli also turned her head, and as Haki had cast an awakening, she placed her hand on Flora’s back.
He helped control the divine power.
hahahaha, said Flora with a laugh.
“You’re sleeping right now. I think you’ll wake up in about 30 minutes.”
After 30 minutes, as Flora said, Oliver woke up.
Oliver also seemed to think he was dead, though he put on a blank expression.
Laeri, who thought she had once lost the one who loved her, saw Oliver waking up and she cried and rushed over and hugged her neck.
“Keuheop…Heh…”
He was Oliver, who hadn’t come to his senses yet, unable to respond, and only her face turned red at the fact that his and Laeri’s bodies were touching each other.
