Chapter 983 – I Want to Go Home

Four pairs of red eyes.
Not too long ago, because of the seal, only two pairs could float, but now four pairs.
It was that he was gradually regaining the status of the king of monsters.

Even if you don’t want to.

Askatlov felt an empty laugh.
The surroundings are dark.

The 5th floor, which used to be a theme park, has now turned into a bizarre place where ghosts appear.
There was a high possibility that the monster king’s energy would change and a real monster would come out.

Everything he made was destroyed.
No, beyond that… It’s ruining even the home of those who enjoy ordinary daily life.

‘I just need to leave.’

That was what he was thinking in his head.
But somehow, I couldn’t take my steps.

‘The situation is much better than before.’

Even if it is small, it has enough power to live and can move around freely.
It’s a much better life than when he was sealed in the magic stone forest and couldn’t move.
Even though…

‘Why don’t you leave.’

Beep.

The monster king closed his eyes at the cry he had heard in the distant past that suddenly came to life in his head.
Ah.
If you don’t give your heart in the first place, you won’t be disappointed.

***

Briefly, the situation was as follows.

Even when I left for Matan, Rope-chan’s aura, which was so vicious that I couldn’t even go higher than the 4th floor, became stronger and now invaded the forest beyond the entire mansion.

Description fine.

…
No, these weak bastards?!
What’s wrong with our rope-chan!!

“Damn it…! I thought I got used to it…!!”
“…”

Seeing Maya bursting in anger as she bit her lip, the thought of what to say disappeared.
It seemed that Rope-chan’s aura was so strong that even her self-respecting woman couldn’t help it.

For reference, the other rankers left for quests immediately after setting up their respective branch positions.
They seemed quite shocked.
I don’t know, but I should have gained divine power and improved my specs considerably, but since I was helpless by the weakened rope-chan’s energy, I had no choice but to do so.

No… But this. Isn’t it almost the same level as the skirmish?
How can the weakened rope-chan’s power be so strong?

“If Hardesh’s morale and the monster king’s energy are mixed, it becomes like this…”

Katz muttered.

“At that time, Askatlov absorbed all of Hardesh’s energy. It seems that the already murderous power combined with the death energy made it so severe.”

Is it because of Hardesh again?
That bastard will surely die sooner or later.

I looked at the castle beyond the forest from a temporary camp a little away from the forest.

Jiying.

On the outskirts of the forest, there is a barrier made of pure power.
Probably, it seems to be spirit power.
That is what Lena did.
Thanks to the spirit’s energy, it seemed that Lope-chan’s energy couldn’t come out of the forest.

“As expected, Lena Artez. She’s a being with talent comparable to Aslon.”

Kitsu, who was admiring it, sighed.

“But in the end it will only be a matter of time.”
“…Good. Okay.”

People who look at me with a solemn voice. He stood in front of a party of warriors with the members of the Heart family.

“I’ll take Rope-chan and live in the backcountry. Let’s call and see only when necessary!”
“That, that’s not okay!!”

Refeld jumped up and shouted, then quietly sat down when he saw people around him staring at him with surprised eyes.

“That’s right!! I hate it too!!”

Gold chimed in.
Big. Brotherly love is warm!!

However, there is no choice.
Right now, it seems that I can’t stop Lope-chan’s energy even with my own abilities.
However, I never had the desire to leave Lope-chan alone.
The understanding and cute deer lived alone and lofty all his life.
I don’t want to be left alone.
More than anything, I don’t want to fall.
Because I love Lope-chan!!

Malamala will struggle a bit, but maybe someday it will improve.
[Hey, I’ll do my best…]

Thank you.
But before that, here’s something to try.
[What method?]
[Hoo.]

I smiled broadly at the two soul friends who sounded like they were interested, then jumped into Kitz and clung to him.

“Kaitseuuuuu!”
“…”
“”Kyaaaaa!!””

For some reason, it seemed that I could hear very ominous and unpleasant screams around me, especially women.
It was extremely distasteful to open up the distance as if the intangible child didn’t want to get involved, but let’s hold back for now.

“Kaiemon!! Do something!!!!”
“Why am I Cayemon?”

Kitsu, who frowned at her in dissatisfaction, let out a sigh.

“I can’t help it because I won’t listen to you if I tell you.”
“Ohh…! Is there a way?!”

The way he spoke was fucked up, but I’m the one who regrets it now.

“The Dark Continent.”
“The Dark Continent…? Ah.”

Eight kings. The immortal ecosystem Amura. This is where her real name, Lenia, is.
It is also a place she must go someday in order to fulfill her quest or her promise to her.

“There is a fruit called ‘Purification Wine’ that only blooms once in a thousand years.”
“Purification wine…?”
“As I tested it before, it has magical powers that can even defeat the energy of evil spirits, the most evil among monster kings.”
“Oh oh…!!”

Such an open-mouthed fruit?!?!

“What? After blocking the energy of evil spirits, I got angry with Amra and the world was destroyed.”
“…”
“Ah. Also, you can get rid of the energy, but instead, the power has become stronger, so I was beaten to death by an evil spirit.”
“Uh… That…”

Cheer up.
Anyway, it’s a very poor fruit for our situation right now, right?

“Let’s go get it!! Guide me!”
“…”

Kitz stares blankly at me.
Kut. You son of a bitch…!
I tried to kneel and was stopped.

“Do you think I am you? I don’t want that.”
“You said a lot of useless things…?”
“I’m just worried because it’s a very dangerous place.”

The Dark Continent is literally a continent.
I’m saying this to dry my mouth, but Elyunar has the size of Jupiter.

The Dark Continent is so large that even on its vast planet, it is given the name Continent.
It is said to be several times the size of the Earth and full of dangers.

First of all, the ecosystem itself is different, so if you come to the human world, monsters that will of course receive an S rank are like stones that are common there.

“A giant of darkness bigger than a mountain. A living giant lightning. The more you get hurt with a dragon’s head, the bigger it gets. An endless poisonous swamp. A powerful man-eating plant that even eats dragons…”

A continent that does not allow human life, befitting the place where Rhenia, nicknamed the ecosystem of immortality, is sealed.

Also. It is said that there is always a darkness that cannot be penetrated by any authority.
It is a dangerous place where all kinds of monsters would have come out if the ten heroes had not sealed it with a huge stone wall.

“Why did you go in there?”
“I went in to see if there was any chance.”
“…”

Even if you look closely at him, he’s very staged.
Well, a world without many answers. I was frustrated, so I must have wanted to grab a straw to see if there was something there.
Still, it was not a meaningless journey because I discovered what was called purification wine.

“It’s the closest to the center of the Dark Continent. It takes a lot of preparation to enter.”
“Sure…”
“I’m not going. I hate bugs.”

Intangible scratched his neck so I kicked him in the abdomen.

“Shut up. You’re an automatic joiner.”
“This bastard…!”

While we were holding each other’s shoulders and wrestling with strength, Katz was deep in thought.

“Okay. I’ll go into the Dark Continent alone and bring you purifying wine. That’s the fastest and most efficient way.”
“Really?!?!”

I immediately knelt in front of Kitz.
Who is the bastard who called this handsome man bad-tempered until now?
At that time, Kaitsu grinned.

“Instead of that, please say, brother, please.”
“…”

Who said that I was in a bad mood?
What? Older brother? Are you my brother?

I kicked the belly of an intangible who approached me wondering where to run away and growled at the kitsch guy.

“It’s fine if you don’t like it.”

Kitz turned his head and stared into the void, disinterestedly.

Rae Band had her eyes wide open, and the scholar brother had his mouth open. Homun smiled.
Unexpectedly, Garcinido was dazed.

…Shit.
Okay!!
What can you not do for the sake of the wonderful rope-chan?

“…Tongue, brother… Brother! Brother!… Brother!! Please brother!!”
“I told you to call me once, did I say you called me five times? Go away.”
“Come and fuck me.”

Kill.

Then the back was kicked.
It was the intangible that I kicked and knocked down.

Even Kitz joined in, he grabbed me and the intangible stepped on my abdomen.

Sobbing.
Thug bastards.

“Okay. I’ve had enough, so let’s go.”

I answered in a miserable voice, sprawled on the floor.

“…Please, brother.”
“Brother is done now.”

Wow!!

Kitz disappeared like a current with a loud sound.
At that time, the intangible approached Garcinido and kicked him in the calf.

“Huge. Calm down.”
“…Uh. Huh?”

Uh?
Why did I faint when I said it was quiet…?

Anyway! Let’s go to reassure Rope Jean!!
Before that, I should say thank you.

I leave the tent and go to the largest and highest place in this camp. I entered a luxurious building that I couldn’t think of as a temporary camp.
Gald is in this building.
In the midst of this, he was struggling with a lot of paperwork.

I bowed down to him.

“Thank you, my lord!!”
“…! De, Dre-sama. What is this?!”

I felt truly grateful to the fat man who got up in a hurry.

“You could have asked Rope to leave the mansion, but to have endured the damage and come out of the castle and waited for you until now. I will definitely pay this debt!”
“Heh heh. Please raise your head, Mr. Dre!!”

Gald laughed as if he was troubled and said what should we do with the monster king in the first place and how can we get our hands on Dre-sama’s precious things?

Gald since I left for Matan, no. You must have noticed about Lope-chan’s condition before then.
In the position of being responsible for countless people, I could have asked them to leave.

Rope-chan would have left if he had been told to leave.
Because he is that kind of guy.

No matter what this man had in mind, I owe Gald.
I will definitely repay this debt.
[It’s a way of talking about repaying a grudge.]

After giving thanks several times, I headed to the Hart family castle.

Shouldn’t we reassure Rope Jean?

***

“…”

As he looked down at the documents, Gald’s face darkened.

His knight came over and whispered in his ear.

“Patriarch. I found their location.”
“Really…? It was worth the time.”

Hour.
Okay. Unbeknownst to Dre, he needed time to get things done.
For that reason, I deliberately left it alone, even though I knew that the disgusting monster’s condition was getting worse and worse.

Gald made up his mind.

“I’ll finish everything before Dre knows what’s going on. I can’t seem incompetent to the person who will lead the world and lead my son from now on.”
“Yes.”

Gald’s face was full of anger and passion.

“…Ah. What happened to Madora Airaitetsu?”

The knight smiled and replied.

“It’s ‘breaking down’ as planned.”
“Hmm.”

Gald smiled contentedly and nodded his head.

Okay. The dirty work he has to do himself.
Son, the hope is that you don’t have to know dirty things.

Because he has to write a myth next to a brilliant flame.

***

Lope-chan didn’t let me in.
He desperately stopped me, even using the power of the King.

I returned to the barracks in a depressed mood because I didn’t seem to want to see me.

Lena can’t meet me because she’s maintaining her barrier, and she’s a little lonely.

So she played with Mala Mala and waited for Kitz.

That night.

Kitz came back covered in blood.
