Chapter 139

Episode 139:

I came to the city.

Just in case, I took a cotton cloth, armed myself briefly, and put on a robe over it.

“Where are you going?”

“Drink.”

“Do you want something to drink?”

The driver passed me and looked behind me with slanted eyes.

Behind me was the Third Prince, wearing a robe like me.

The knights looked at him with disapproval as he smiled as if it were so good.

“Aren’t you taking the escort driver with you?”

“You know me well. “But I’m a little worried about this one.”

“So do i. Young Master, no matter where you go, if you hit me, I’ll hit you, but it doesn’t matter because you don’t get hit. “The prince is different after all.”

“This is…”

I burst into laughter at the knight’s playful words.

A lot has improved compared to the beginning.

He didn’t look at me with contempt like he used to.

Rather, there were people who looked at me favorably because of the things I showed.

The driver in front of me was one of them.

A person who looks at me now, leaving aside the incompetent asshole I used to be.

That’s why you can play pranks on me like this.

If you still can’t escape from the past, if you see me as a bad guy, I can’t be this friendly to you.

“Well, since you’re with me, there won’t be any danger.”

The driver shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

I waved as I walked down the path he had paved.

I heard the driver’s voice behind me telling me to have a nice trip.

“Heung heung heung.”

The 3rd prince heading towards the forest was humming a song, wondering what was so exciting.

-Human mana has become thicker than yesterday.

Unlike the Third Prince, who was in a happy mood, Hatchling and I were in a serious mood.

The closer I got to the forest, the more I could feel the mana that the hatchling was talking about.

‘This is the first time I’ve felt uncomfortable with Mana.’

The mana seen in the forest in the distance made me feel like I was watching a D-grade horror movie.

It was not possible to smell the color or scent of mana.

It just felt that way.

The seemingly opaque flickering of mana made me feel uneasy just by looking at it.

-It continues to increase!

The hatchling was very excited when he saw the mana.

As the hatchling said, the mana was writhing ominously and increasing in quantity.

“I’m giving you one last chance here. “Please go back.”

“I don’t like it! Why do you keep sending me away? “Is there something here that I shouldn’t know?”

The 3rd prince’s face hardened and he shook his head as if he couldn’t do that.

I gave up talking to him any more.

What can I say when I say I won’t do it?

“All right. “You won’t regret it.”

“yes.”

He nodded with a determined look on his face.

I sighed softly and entered the forest with him.

“…!”

As soon as I entered the forest, mana weighed heavily on my body.

Soaked cotton? It wasn’t that much.

It felt like several bags of rice were placed on my shoulders.

Each step became as heavy as a thousand pounds.

It was like this from the beginning, and I was worried about how bad it would be inside.

‘I think I should talk to the Count.’

How long has it been since the attack that something like this could happen again?

There must be something in this forest. Otherwise, there was no way something would happen in this forest.

“Hmm… Raymond this…”

The dull 3rd prince looked back at me with a sunken face, probably feeling that mana.

There was nothing I could do for him to see me.

Because I was in the same situation.

-Is the human okay? I help you.

Paaaa –

In a flash, my body became lighter.

I felt more energetic than before I was crushed by Mana.

After all, it is a hatchling.

Without chanting anything, I used my own mana to push away the ominous mana that was trying to suffocate my body.

Even though she was taking care of me and the entire 3rd prince, the hatchling seemed to have no problem, as if she was overflowing with mana.

To push out this much mana, you would need at least 6 circles of mana.

‘A dragon is a dragon.’

It is said that the mana of an adult body is like the ocean and feels infinite, but perhaps because hatchlings are also dragons, the quantity and quality of mana was overwhelming.

The thought of Ahar taking that hatchling’s talent made me feel goosebumps all over my body.

“Maybe this is why the forest is like a dead forest with no life in it.”

It seems like I’ve been wandering around for quite some time, perhaps because of my mana, but not a single fur was seen, let alone monsters or even small animals like rabbits and squirrels.

No, the forest itself was too ominous.

I felt like someone was watching me, and I also felt like something was hovering around me.

But even when I turned my head and looked, the forest was still a forest.

There were no other changes or creatures.

-Humans are in big trouble!

After walking for a while, the hatchling suddenly stopped and said in confusion.

“What.”

-Lost!

Is this some kind of joke?

It doesn’t make sense for a hatchling to get lost.

Dragons are beings that do not forget.

There was no way that a being who could remember anything he had seen once could not remember the geography of a forest he had visited many times.

It may have been his first time here, but it didn’t make sense for the hatchling to get lost in a familiar place.

‘wait for a sec. There’s really something strange.’

Even if the hatchling was lost, it didn’t matter.

I’ve been here several times and knew the route to some extent.

But the forest that now came into my sight was a place I had never seen before.

I wondered if there was a place like this in the forest in the first place.

Wiggle, wiggle.

Then I saw something moving.

It was definitely moving, but I couldn’t tell what was moving.

-Humans are dangerous. Call that person.

The hatchling bared his teeth with rare caution.

I sensed that something was going wrong with the hatchling, which was staring into space and starting to growl.

The hatchling, who can nod at anything, was nervous.

“Your Highness Baan. “Hide behind me.”

“Oh, I understand.”

He must have sensed that the atmosphere was unusual, so he ran over and hid behind me.

Slurp.

Was the sound of an unknown name being chosen originally being this loud?

Useless thoughts filled my head.

‘I was nervous?’

The hands holding the cotton were sweating and the handle was damp.

It wasn’t just the hand. My back and joints were soaked with sweat and skin was sticking out.

‘what? What.’

What on earth makes me so nervous?

Is this what it feels like to face an invisible enemy?

I felt like I could get a little insight into Ahar’s feelings while dealing with Mahol.

There was definitely something around, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.

‘There are only trees….’

Trees trees trees trees.

There were only trees around.

However, the appearance of the trees was a bit unique.

It was a bare tree that had lost all its leaves, unsuitable for fall.

I felt like I was dead because I felt no life at all.

– It’s humane!

As I was looking around, I heard the hatchling’s urgent voice.

At the same time, alarm bells rang in my head and my body began to move uncontrollably.

Kwazijic!

Nameless cut down a long, sharp tree branch.

‘branch?’

What attacked me was none other than a tree.

Uuuuuu –

The trees revealed their true nature, starting with attacking me.

Those that looked like ordinary winter trees now have faces.

A face that looked like a demon appeared and they glared at me with fierce eyes.

‘This is the first monster I’ve seen….’

It’s the first monster I’ve seen.

But on the other hand, it was also a monster I knew.

‘He’s an undead… why is he here?’

There was one case where a dead tree became a living monster.

He became undead.

Plant undead.

Their appearance was surprising, but what caught me off guard was something else.

‘These guys need a caster…’

Warlocks who summoned undead were targets of extermination on the continent.

So, I heard that because they suffered a blow that was almost annihilating, their range of action was very limited.

But why are warlocks so active here?

You probably don’t know that this is the territory of the Grand Wizard Millennium.

‘Could it possibly be related to the empire this time?’

That may be so.

No, the probability is high.

Most of those who have attacked Millennium so far have been affiliated with the Empire.

It was no surprise that a warlock was now added.

If we had to be surprised, it would be surprising that these guys are acting so boldly.

The order to kill warlocks is not over yet.

Hunters who were blinded by performance and money were still wandering around with their eyes turned on, looking for warlocks.

In the meantime, pulling a trick like this within a magic family that was sure to get caught was like yelling, ‘Catch me and kill me!’

Kwajik Kwazik!

I glanced back at the 3rd prince, deflecting a tree branch that flew like an arrow.

He was staring at me blankly with his sword drawn.

From his hand holding the sword to his shoulders, there was no place that did not tremble.

I was shocked by the sudden situation.

‘Should I be satisfied with not running away?’

I couldn’t fight while taking care of him.

It would have been better to just stand in one place and remain still like now.

Ugh!

At least if you stay there, the hatchling’s barrier will protect you like it does now.

Tuoeuong!

Several wooden undead were clinging to the 3rd prince and swinging tree branches wildly.

The tree branch was blocked by a golden film and bounced around in vain.

‘I can fight with peace of mind.’

The burden of being the 3rd prince was relieved.

In addition, there is a reliable ally called Hatchling.

“I never thought I would catch an undead…”

I put on my auror and looked at the wooden undead.

Seven.

A total of seven wooden undead were surrounding me.

Those who were attacking the 3rd prince also joined us here.

I, who had no shield, seemed like an easier prey to catch than the 3rd prince, who was protected by a golden shield.

“I wonder what your taste is like.”

Kieeeeek!

As soon as I finished speaking, the wooden undead screamed and rushed towards me.

I twisted my waist to avoid the tree branches and swung the cotton ball.

Kwazijic.

Perhaps because it was a rotten tree, it was broken rather than cut.

Does not matter. All you have to do is kill it.

‘Now that I think about it, I heard that undead are vulnerable to fire.’

It would be nice to be able to wrap a sword around a sword, but couldn’t a hatchling enchant my sword like Beatrice did for me back then?

-Why are you doing that?

He looked at the hatchling and shook his head.

The 3rd prince was caught.

It was difficult to avoid his suspicions even with the golden shield protecting him.

First of all, we need to deal with these guys as quickly as possible and don’t let him waste his time.

Quad Deuk!

Nameless passed through the center of the tree undead.

Rotten and broken pieces of wood were flying everywhere.

Kieeeeek!

Those who were enraged by the death of their colleague ran even more violently.

Instead of avoiding it, he dug into it and swung the name.

Kwajik quaddeuk!

Shards flew in all directions, and the cries of the wooden undead echoed through the forest.

“It’s not that difficult to deal with.”

It was tricky since it was my first time dealing with it, but it wasn’t a very strong monster.

I brushed off the wood chips that were on my clothes.

Kieeek!

“What are you alive?”

Quad deuk.

The wooden undead also had a core.

If you step on that core, you will not be able to use your strength like you do now and you will die.

After taking care of all the wooden undead, I returned to where the 3rd prince was.
