chapter 40
40 – Natural Water
Parties that entered the Devil’s Land and couldn’t overcome the temperature difference between day and night were eliminated one after another.
To date, a total of 74 parties (518 people) have been eliminated.
There were a total of 26 parties (182 people) left.
The Hakine Party succeeded in protecting their body temperature by using the hide of the beast, and Avir and Reina were ice magic users, so they hardly got cold and were able to protect the party members.
That’s how the fourth day of the Demonic Forest began.
Hakina Reina, who is smart enough, decided to leave at the time when the heat drives out the cold in the forest of the demonic realm.
Hot air rushes in, but the cold air still hasn’t gone away, so there was a time in the demonic realm that made the body the most active by achieving an appropriate temperature.
So they decided to get up a little earlier, finish preparing for departure, and depart when the temperature was good.
Of course, not only the two of them, but Abur also made that judgment.
It was new, but…
“Please… Wake up…”
No matter how much Abur woke them up, they didn’t wake up at all, curled up in her body.
Of course, Abur also sleeps well early in the morning, but I understand that he gets annoyed and sensitive when someone touches him.
‘But this isn’t your house, is it?’
In the end, they didn’t wake up.
That’s what I say after waking up with the heat as time goes by.
“Avir-nim, cool it down with ice magic, right? Vera did that too.”
Hearing those words, Abu Le didn’t show it, but her head snapped, ‘What are these crazy b*tches?’ She thought.
“I would like to, too. The heat here is too much, so even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.”
“But at Vera, that’s fine.”
‘Do you think this is the same as Vera?’
“No.”
The young ladies who heard that sighed and expressed ‘I’m annoyed.’
In the original adventure, no matter how annoyed you are, you shouldn’t show it out.
Because it lowers the morale of the party, makes you lose your motivation, and also brings annoyance that other team members watching the sighing team members did not have.
Abur lamented her luck for being on the same team as the girls who couldn’t even follow such basic common sense.
++++
Haki checked the status of the party members.
Yesterday there was a bit of a crisis, and even now the blood of the monster that was buried yesterday dried up and stuck to my body, showing a grotesque appearance, but it seemed to be in good condition anyway.
However, his stamina was low, so he avoided the beasts as much as possible.
Then it appeared.
First, Flora shouted.
“Oh! There! A big tree!”
“Really… Much taller than normal trees.”
“The natural number that is said to be part of the World Tree…Is it a part?”
“I see… It looks like 50m?”
“How big is the world tree?”
“That’s it, we don’t know.”
Struggling until the end, they finally succeeded in reaching the front of the natural tree.
The number of natural numbers seen in front of me was enormous.
Besides, it was the first time I felt dignity from a tree.
“Is that a natural number?”
“Yes! It is said that any disease can be cured by receiving the energy of natural water!”
“It’s a tree that’s been around for hundreds of years. It’s part of the World Tree, so it might have that ability.”
“By the way, where is the professor?”
“Well…?”
No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find Professor Ikele.
At that time, Oliver got a big wound that looked like a nail cut.
“Hey!”
Blood burst from Oliver’s mouth.
“Oliver!”
Raeri, who was right next to her, shouted.
But he didn’t fall down, probably because the cut was not that deep.
“It’s okay. I can handle it.”
[Divine Magic]
[Heel]
Flora’s magic stopped the blood that slowly flowed from Oliver and the wound began to heal.
Haki checked the figure and checked the front. Also I can’t see anything
Activates eyes that were deactivated in advance due to low physical strength.
It’s finally starting to show.
Its identity is…
“Class B Beast Karen.”
“A grade B?!”
“It’s a hopeless opponent for us!”
“I came all the way to the natural water!”
Damn it! Hockey gnashed his teeth.
“We have to win.”
“But! We can’t even see!”
Hockey grabs his giant scythe.
“I’ll fix that.”
[Create Water]
From Hockey’s hand, the basic magic, Create Water, stretched out.
Then, as Karen’s hair got damp, the water clung to her and began to show her shape.
Kleureung-
Looking like a white leopard, he cried and started running towards me as if he was angry because he was hit by the water.
“Awakening.”
The energy of the dark god of death began to emanate from Haki’s body.
The party members other than hockey were briefly surprised by her appearance for the first time, but what was right in front of them was a B-class beast! There was no time to be surprised.
Karen lunged at Hockey who fired her water at him.
He tried to bite her with her sharp teeth.
“Hockey!”
When Karen opened her mouth to bite her hockey! Suddenly, her hockey body disappeared. She
She was a decoy (bait).
Wheeing!
Haki appeared above Karen and gave her a big swing of her scythe.
Then Karen’s body glowed, and with her swift speed, he reversed and aimed at her neck.
This time it’s not a decoy. It was her body.
“Slash!”
A slash of lightning flew towards Karen’s body just before biting her neck.
However, Karen’s speed exceeded her slash, and while she failed to bite Haki’s neck, she did manage to scar her.
“Ugh!”
“Heel!”
Flora and Keira’s divine magic healed Haki’s body.
Karen’s eyes light up.
I realized who the first thing to deal with was.
The water has already started to dry up as we move at high speed.
Karen’s body was no longer visible to them.
Tension rises.
Except for the hockey that Karen could see, the rest tried to capture Karen’s movements by awakening their senses as much as possible.
“Flora!”
With a loud roar, Haki reached in front of Flora with explosive speed.
Now then.
Tax-!
The scythe leaves rough claw marks, and the hockey flies backwards on impact.
Flora, who was behind me, was also not directly hit, but was blown away as well.
“Flora!”
Keira shouted.
Once Flora is incapacitated, Keira is next.
Raeli, who has a fast brain, shouted.
“Protect Keira!”
As soon as Oliver, Breeze, and Kals heard Laeri’s cry, they ran towards Keira.
But compared to Karen’s speed, it was inevitable.
Oliver realized that and used magic.
“Create Water!”
It didn’t reach Keira, but only sprayed water around her.
After realizing Oliver’s magic, Laeri said.
“Slash!”
A slash made of lightning flew to the summoned water.
Pajijijik!
Lightning traveled through the water and hit Karen.
Kuaaa-!
It screams in pain.
“Good!”
But that alone was too much to kill Karen. I only received a little damage from lightning and water.
In a fit of rage, Karen charged Laeri.
Of course La Eri, who can’t see her, is cut by her Karen’s fingernails.
“Heuk!?”
Before the body noticed, the body flew away.
“Raeli!”
At the same time, Breeze’s body was also blown away.
Kung-!
All that’s left is Oliver, Carls and Keira.
Even Kei, who was terrified, somehow tried to heal her. To her horror, her body did not move.
At that time. A black fireball flew towards Karen.
Unexpectedly, Karen set her body on fire.
Kleureung!
[Judgment of Death]
Suddenly!
A huge scythe cut Karen at the speed of an instant.
It wasn’t cut to the point of being completely cut in two. However, Karen thought her hockey was down, so she was caught off guard and could have fatally wounded her.
Karen’s obvious mistake!
In the first place, witches are driven by instinct, so low intelligence was also helpful.
Karen hesitated. Breeze didn’t miss that moment and swung his weapon, the hammer, wide.
Kaang-!
“That’s it!”
For the first time, his attack was successful.
Karen, greatly shaken, lost her balance.
La Eri, who was lying down, couldn’t move his body because he injured his leg, but he reached out and released a lightning spell.
“Thunderbolt.”
A thunderbolt stretched from her hand and struck Karen.
Craft!
Laeryi, who had squeezed out her last strength, passed out in that state.
Raeli’s attack Karen instinctively realized.
I die here.
Karen squeezed out her last breath.
Strengthen her hind legs.
It flew to Breeze with explosive speed and slammed into her torso.
“Keah!”
It was an impact equivalent to hitting a truck.
Breeze flew in that state and crashed into a tree, passing out.
“Breeze!”
In that state, turn back and give strength once more.
But Hockey and Oliver weren’t just watching.
Oliver’s chains bound Karen.
Hockey swung his scythe.
[Intimidation]
Karen’s intimidation spread.
Just a moment. Haki and Oliver’s bodies stiffened.
Aiming for that gap, I ran to Keira, who I hadn’t been able to deal with before.
Healer named Kei. Her body isn’t very strong.
If you get hit by those sharp claws, you’ll die instantly.
[Enhanced][Super Acceleration]
Hockey flew with explosive speed.
‘Reach. Reach out Reach it, reach it, reach it!!’
I can’t reach it.
Hockey couldn’t catch Karen’s speed, which was already ahead of her.
It was then.
[Upper and lower magic]
[Hurricane]
A whirlwind hit Karen.
Kiaaa!
Karen was blown away by the hurricane, smashing several of her trees and breaking them until she died.
Haki turned his head and looked at the master of magic.
“… Reina-san?”
“It was almost dangerous.”
Raina must have struggled so much that her leg gave way and she fell.
“Are you okay?!”
Three people nearby helped Reina.
“Hockey!”
There was also a cabriolet.
It was very nice to see you, but now was not the time.
“Help others!”
“I already do.”
Haki said, Reina replied with a smile.
Come to think of it, Reina’s party’s healers were already healing others.
Flora, Laeri, and Breeze finally opened their eyes.
“Huh…?”
“Are you okay?”
“Ah… Yes thank you.”
[Divine Magic]
[Goddess’ Blessing]
Awakened Flora performed multi-divine magic.
It’s still an easy skill, but taking care of this many people was surprising to anyone.
The party of Reina and Haki, who have healed their wounds one by one and regained their stamina, is finally in the center of the Demonic Forest.
Entered into a natural number.
