043. To the Dimrin Forest (1)

At that moment, Icarone thought that she had swung her sword of rage because she had left, and because Reina, who she had been close to, had died. As she was contemplating whether she should be struck by her sword like this, she saw Iel’s eyes slightly revealed through her hair.

It’s madness. It’s chaos and fear. I don’t know why she feels fear at the same time, but it’s clear that she’s not in a normal state of mind. If she wants to kill herself, she should at least come to her senses and do it so that she won’t regret it.

-Chaeng! Chaeng!

It was a frighteningly fast speed. Perhaps because it was a dagger with a relatively short reach, Iel was swinging it around recklessly, digging inward. Unable to handle the tremendous speed, Icarone ended up getting small wounds on her arms and thighs.

-Sssssss.

Black smoke rose without fail and was sucked into the dagger. Unlike the assassins, it was coming out like a very thin thread, but it was clear that if it continued like this, it would soon end up like them. Did I rush in too hastily? Even if I left them alone, they would have been dealt with by Iel anyway.

I can’t end my life like this. I’ll allow myself to be hurt once more anyway. Icarone let go of Ray and grabbed his ears with both hands.

-Whoaaah!

Suddenly, as the left side became empty, Iel’s dagger deeply cut Ikarone’s left arm. Unlike the other wounds, a large amount of smoke poured out. Ikarone felt pain as if someone was forcibly twisting her arm, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, swinging her sword with all her might. Her target was Iel’s wrist, which cut off her arm and returned.

“Eeeeeel!”

-Crack!

Icarone’s Guido, who ignored defense, struck Iel’s wrist. A dull sound echoed throughout the room. Icarone’s last resort was to drop the dagger, but his expression was not bright. This was because he could see Iel holding the dagger tightly despite his wrist and finger bones being crushed.

“Gasp, gasp, ugh…….”

Icarone fell to one knee, exhausted by the black smoke that was still being sucked out. He had no more strength or hope. He could only console himself with the fact that he would die by this woman and not by another man.

-Chaenggrang.

At that moment, I saw the dagger fall to the floor in front of my eyes. At the same time, the black smoke that was eating away at my body disappeared as if it were a lie. And then I heard her trembling voice.

“Hey, Mr. Icarone……”

I looked up and saw Elle’s face shedding tears.

Is that dagger a legendary magic sword that can make its user go berserk? … . Iel was giving off a completely different vibe than before. Icarone spoke while stretching her knees with difficulty.

“Let’s move first.”

The Cloud soldiers and the Assassins will be supported and pursued in no time. Rather than explaining, we must get out of this castle as soon as possible. At Icarone’s words, Iel turned around hurriedly as if something came to mind. Her gaze was directed to where Reina was lying down.

But then, there, Elle saw a strange woman. For a moment, Elle’s vision became blurry.

“no!”

-Chae-Ang!

Before she knew it, Yiel appeared in front of the woman and swung her dagger without hesitation. Just before the woman, who had not prepared herself, was about to be attacked defenselessly, the tip of her sword was deflected by the guido thrown by Icarone.

“she is…….”

Just as Icarone was about to explain, a clear voice rang in Iel’s ears.

“Still, I’m alive.”

“Hey, who are you?”

Yiel’s voice trembled violently. Her eyes became moist again at the thought that Reina, whom she had thought to be dead, was still alive. The woman answered Yiel’s question in a calm voice while keeping her gaze fixed on Reina.

“I am Ikarone’s colleague. I need to get some treatment right away.”

Without even listening to her answer, Ierie reached out to Reina’s body and started doing something. Iel, who had been taken aback by her appearance, turned her gaze to Ikarone. She must have been asking if it was true. Ikarone slowly nodded and approached her.

“I know how to handle mana.”

“Wow, wizard?!”

In this situation, it was a stroke of luck to meet a wizard, and one who was on her side at that. Iel tried hard to suppress her overwhelming emotions and looked around cautiously.

“Meow!”

Gudo, who was on Ierie’s shoulder, discovered Ikarone and jumped into her arms.

Icarone, who carefully accepted Gudongi, tilted his head when he looked above Gudongi’s head.

“Quo?”

The actions and appearance are clearly those of a cat, but its name is not Cat, but Quo. At that time, Ierie, who was treating Reina, answered.

“It changed around the time I was transferred here. Even if you weren’t born with Odir’s blessing, you get a unique name when you reach a certain level or reach a certain level of stats, but this is the first time I’ve seen it change right before my eyes.”

That means Gudongi has a name-level ability among cats. What did he do to get such a special ability? Anyway, if he gets stronger and doesn’t die easily, it’s a good thing, so I’m happy.

Less than a minute after starting the treatment, a loud noise came from the direction of the inner castle. The sound of horse hooves was so loud that it shook the ground. It was a pursuit party. Icarone shouted to Ierie, feeling anxious.

“Yeongju, not yet?”

“Almost… almost… it’s done!”

Her tone of voice was urgent, as if she had felt the vibration as well. As soon as she finished answering, Yiel hugged Reina.

“Follow me! There is a place where you can take refuge.”

Icarone also nodded and hugged Ierie. Although her health was at rock bottom due to her injuries, she judged that she was faster than Ierie, whose magic was sealed.

“Oh my! Are you okay?”

“I hope you’re okay too.”

Icarone watched Iel’s back as she ran away without looking back, and put strength into her feet. Even though Ierie had cast a flying spell, it was difficult to keep up with her.

How did she, who couldn’t even shake off the hand of a stranger at a convenience store, become so strong? Ikarone suddenly remembered the situation in the village when she first fell into this world. Perhaps, if she, with her striking appearance, had been in that situation alone without anyone to protect her… … it would have been terribly difficult.

“hmm?”

While I was lost in thought for a moment, the surroundings changed drastically. After passing through the gates of Degavoli and passing through a forest teeming with orcs and goblins, the fog suddenly thickened. The trees with lush leaves were nowhere to be found, and before my eyes, white, bare trees towered high into the sky.

“Hey, this is creepy?”

Irie said, shuddering slightly. Iel, who paused for a moment as if hearing her words, half-turned his head and said.

“Dimrin Forest, the habitat of Nila Kuvera. It is not easy for anyone to enter this place.”

“You, Nillakuvera?! Then aren’t we in danger too?”

Ierie was terrified by her explanation. It was understandable, since Nillakubera was a named monster that was measured to be level 40 or higher.

Normally, a level 40 monster is strong enough to be on par with a hunter of the same level. However, named monsters are on a different level. If a monster has just been turned into a named monster, it is common knowledge that a party of at least ten hunters who are at least ten levels higher than the monster must be formed to attack it. If it has been a named monster for a long time… … its strength is immeasurable.

At her reaction, Yiel smiled faintly and answered.

“I’m not catching it on purpose.”

“Yes, yes? Ah…….”

How strong is that woman who speaks like that? Considering that she brought her here, it must not be a boast. Irie wrapped her shoulders with both hands and shuddered slightly.

“Yes, Captain, it seems like those guys have entered the Dimrin Forest……”

“What the heck! Are you trying to commit suicide or something?”

The captain of the capital defense knights, Devron, looked at the foggy forest before his eyes and grabbed his head. The knights’ faces turned pale as if they all knew what was living here. However, Duke Dianthus, the real power of the Kingdom of Claude, had captured the man who had lost ten thousand soldiers, and to make matters worse, he had taken the wizard Ieri with him.

If I return empty-handed, I might lose my place in the Capital Defense Knights to Marquis Volun. Besides, Nilakuvera hasn’t been seen in nearly three years, so there’s still hope. Devron shouted, drawing his sword and raising it.

“I know what you are worried about! But don’t forget that I, Tail Devron, am with you! We are the proud knights of the Kingdom of Creed! Fear is not our cup of tea! Let’s go forward! Charge!”

Devron’s voice echoed through the forest. It was truly a knightly majesty that could only be compared to Irel. The effect seemed to have had an effect, as the knights’ fears subsided and they shouted with spirit and stomped their horses.

“charge!”

“charge!”

-Heeeeeeling!

In an instant, the quiet Dimrin Forest shook with the sound of horse hooves. It was a tremendous force that could trample down Nillakubera or anything else. However, this was Devron’s fatal mistake due to his lack of information about Nillakubera.

An unidentified old tree stands firmly in the center of the Dimrin Forest. On top of the tree, which is over 10 meters in diameter and looks like it has easily been a thousand years old, something that was thought to be a branch began to move.

* * *

-Knock knock knock knock!

As they entered the Dimrin Forest and Nilakubera did not appear for some time, the Devron Knights became more enthusiastic and continued to search the forest without hesitation.

“Look! Even Nillakubera has been overshadowed by the might of our knights! They couldn’t have gone far! Search thoroughly!”

“Search!”

“Search… Huh!”

Devron turned around with a sharp look as one of the 10 lieutenants who had been repeating his orders swallowed the wind.

-Bam.

“Shaha…….”

It was a giant spider that fell from the tree, with a body the size of a person and a length of three meters including the legs. Devron slowly drew his sword and spoke in a low voice.

“Nubera…….”

This is the species before Nilakubera evolved into a named species. Nubera rolled its six eyes around as if looking for something to eat, then rushed to the nearest 10th Lieutenant Knight.

“Hey, what the heck!”

-Thump!

The 1st Lieutenant, who was terrified by the disgusting sight, swung his sword nervously. However, rather than cutting off Nubera’s leg, he felt a trembling that seemed to tear his hand apart. Nubera made a sound as if she was mocking the bewildered 1st Lieutenant and wrapped the horse and the person entirely with her eight legs.

-Tsaaa.

In front of the 10th Lieutenant’s eyes, Nubera’s mouth opened wide and a dark green liquid that appeared to be poison was flowing out.

“Huh, huhuh……. Sa, save me…….”

-Plop!

“Kehe!”

Just before Nuvera’s sharp teeth could cut off the sergeant’s head, Nuvera’s torso fell off with a dull sound. Soon after, the figure of Captain Devron cutting Nuvera’s torso in two was seen.

“All right, Captain!”

“What are you doing stupidly? Get up!”

“yes yes!”

Devron turned away from the respectful gaze of the 1st Lieutenant and stomped on the body of the Nubera he had just killed, looking at the knights and shouting.

“These guys’ legs are as strong as mithril! Aim for the leg joints or the torso!”

“Yes, sir!”

The knights responded with awe at the charisma of Devron. However, when Devron turned around, a look of anxiety crossed his eyes.

‘The information is different… … . As the lord gets stronger, these guys also get stronger… … .’

Nillakubera is the longest-living named among the Lords of Nubera. As time passes, the named that devours mana will only become stronger. Devron tried to hide his anxiety as he rode his horse quickly.
