359 – Respect (3)

Although Porori is strict about territory management, it is not the type to carelessly harm life.

The same applies when living in the Forest of Chaos. Even if students invade without knowing anything, Cheolsan High School tends to end it with one shot.

Even if he poops on a person or an animal that has fainted after being hit by a steel bar, he will not commit any further actions.

However, if a predator attacks them or openly invades their territory, the story is different. End the opponent’s life unconditionally.

This is why I became enemies with Porori. When I was living in the Forest of Chaos, I marked Porori’s territory.

Porori, who saw this, got angry and started hitting and fighting with each other. That’s why we have no choice but to know each other very well.

‘Why? What did that prince do?’

I fell into confusion as I saw Porori and Kara confronting each other, and Leo, who was completely charred.

I’m not sure what happened, but I was certain that Porori attacked the students.

But I was curious. Because of Porori’s nature, he did not often harm people.

“Ooh, let’s give first aid first! He’s in cardiac arrest!”

“Can I save you?”

“I’m not sure about that, but I’ll do my best.”

A professor of medicine urgently assessed Leo’s condition. Other students stay far away.

I realized it instinctively. They say they can’t deal with that squirrel that deals with lightning.

It was difficult for the professors to step forward properly and they had to evacuate the students, so they left it to Kara.

‘It was grilled very well.’

I clicked my tongue as I looked at Leo, who was well-cooked like a charred mackerel.

That’s normal damage. Because I’ve been struck by lightning so many times, I’ve developed a resistance to it. Normally, it would turn black like that.

Damage is called an evil because it ignores defense as if it deals with space. It is that strong.

‘It must be dangerous to see that the heart has stopped.’

In fact, if you are properly struck by lightning, a heart attack is more dangerous than being roasted.

It looks like it took a direct hit, but I don’t know if it will be possible to revive it. You should also consider the aftereffects.

In any case, it is urgent now to stop the runaway Porori. I approached Kara’s side

“Kara.”

“Shivar? I’m here just in time. Try to stop him.”

“Kyaaang…!”

I listened to Kara’s request and looked at Porori. With his fur his standing on end and his body covered in lightning, he gave off an unusual energy.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t really understand why Porori would be this angry. Even if Leo had pooped, it would have been overlooked.

In order for animals to recognize territory, you have to mark it consistently rather than just once or twice. It is one of the knowledge gained from the Forest of Chaos.

“Karrrr to!”

Porori took a step forward. At the same time, he said to me.

Get out of the way right now. I’m going to completely end that charred guy’s life.

It was a simple animal cry, but I could hear it all. Now I even understand the language of animals.

‘Is this because Porori is a spiritual object?’

In any case, it was clear that Porori had bad feelings towards Leo. I don’t know why.

This made Kara step back for a moment and then spread her hands. Not long after she opened her hand, she heard something flying.

-Tup!

It’s been a while since I held Ragnarok in my hands. In any case, you have no choice but to fight Porori.

I opened my mouth to Porori, who seemed to have more lightning than before.

“What did he do?”

“Kyaan! Kyaang!”

“What, what are you saying?”

Kara asked with a slightly trembling voice. It looks like he’s worried that another accident will occur.

Instead of answering, I frowned and looked at the prince, Leo. A professor is performing CPR at a distance.

The other students were watching from a distance, and the professor in charge also seemed to be planning to leave if the situation allowed.

“······He made a mistake first.”

“Him? “You mean the prince?”

“Yes. They said he killed his own people.”

“Relatives? “You mean squirrels?”

“Yes.”

If it had been an accident, that is, by accidentally stepping on it and killing it, Porori would have passed on, even if he felt sorry for it.

That’s because the physiques of the squirrels and humans living in this forest are as different as heaven and earth.

On Earth, it would be closer to a car accident. The accident occurred because the driver and pedestrian did not see each other.

“That’s also for fun.”

“For fun?”

“Yeah. I heard he kicked me because I didn’t like him?”

“··· ···”

However, Leo is at the level of intentionally hitting someone. Because he is an eyesore.

In addition to the metaphor, the gap between squirrels and humans is very large, but from Porori’s point of view, it is there.

To be honest, I thought Leo did something wrong, but kicking him just because he climbed on his leg was severe.

‘In other words, there is no hesitation in committing murder.’

People tend to be reluctant to kill unless they have a special job like a hunter.

Moreover, even that hunter hunts animals to make money, and will not kill for ‘fun’ like Leo.

Of course, there are kings and nobles who enjoy hunting as entertainment. Even they tend to use tools such as bows and swords.

Even hunting as entertainment is a form of planning and competition, so there is relatively less guilt.

‘I was just punished by heaven.’

In fact, it is no different from receiving heavenly punishment. Especially considering Leo’s usual behavior, it would be cheap to receive heavenly punishment.

I asked Kara to evacuate her students and then faced Porori. Porori is still engulfed in anger.

“I got hit by lightning, so you’ll just let me go?”

“Kyaaang!”

That can’t be possible. He said he would kill Leo to avenge his people. This is what my people want.

I had nothing to say. Porori was expressing her natural anger as an animal.

“Kyaan! Kyaang!”

“Hi.”

I couldn’t help but sigh. He even kicked a guy who was only a baby.

Cubs are beings that must be cherished and cared for regardless of their species. How do you feel about killing something like that for fun?

Even if it is an insignificant creature, if it kills its own young, it becomes obsessed with revenge. It is no different whether it is a human or an animal.

But that doesn’t mean we can let Porori kill people. Although he has already suffered a heart attack, confirming death is a different matter.

“I punished you with heaven. Let’s go.”

“Karrrr to!”

“To fight?”

It showed no signs of calming down. I lifted my foot.

-Boom!

When I put my slightly lifted foot down on the ground, a vibration rang out as if there was an earthquake.

I felt people around me started by the vibration, but I didn’t pay any attention.

Because this was some kind of threat. If I do it any longer, I will definitely come forward.

‘I have no choice but to step forward to prevent damage.’

If Leo was alone, wow, that idiot. They would have passed on by telling me to search carefully.

But now, not only Leo but also professors and students are watching.

What professor would watch his student dying? I’m sure we’ll fight Porori.

If that happens, the situation will escalate out of control. It would be better for me to fight and stop it myself.

“Then come.”

“Kyaaa!!”

-Pazy!

Due to my provocation, the thunderbolt in Porori’s body became much more massive than before.

I narrowed my eyes at the sheep. I felt like I was much stronger than before.

It seems that he has improved his skills since he was helplessly defeated by a hunter before.

I don’t think we should let down our guard. I quietly gathered my magic power.

-Dismissal!

Then, Porori’s body flickered as if lightning had struck. As soon as he blinked, his new form disappeared in an instant.

No. It didn’t disappear. Because the position moved forward at the same time as it blinked.

It is literally a split second. I couldn’t help but open my eyes and be surprised.

‘Fast…”

All. It was time to think.

-Dismissal!

It blinked again like lightning.

-Whoop!

A tail wrapped in lightning swung towards my face.

“!!!”

I turned my head just in the nick of time to avoid the tail attack. The tail passed by my cheek.

If it had been hit properly, the face would not have been fractured or caved in. As someone said, speed is weight.

-Boo!

A regime that was established simultaneously with avoidance. As soon as I turned my head, I launched a counter towards Porori’s body

Seeing that his hand wasn’t that alive, it looks like he blocked it too. But the difference is that it was floating in the air.

Since my punch was meant to push away rather than a proper counterattack, Porori’s new type flew far away.

-Kwasik! Kwasik! Kwaduk!

Porori flies far away, smashing trees several times. As soon as he walked away for a moment, I smoothed his cheek.

Aside from avoiding it, I got a little fat, probably due to the characteristics of the lightning strike. It looks like he’s definitely gotten stronger.

‘What on earth did you do to become stronger? Did you order your subordinates to pay more tribute?’

Maybe so. If this happens, the entire forest will be no different from Porori’s kingdom.

One spirit creature can change the entire forest. I’m so shocked that I can’t find anything to say.

I guess I’ve bought some time, I shouted to the professor who was still looking for a chance to escape.

“Professor!”

“Uh, huh?”

“Class is over! Class is over! Let’s go!”

“Yes, yes! I understand! Everyone move to the main building! Don’t move separately and stay organized!”

There is a saying that leadership comes from command and retreat. The students did not retreat at random, but moved in an orderly manner.

If they had moved separately, an unexpected accident could have occurred. It is better for me to mark Porori exclusively.

‘I don’t think the prince has come to his senses yet.’

What do you know? Whether that guy dies or not.

If the Matra Empire found out about this, there would be an uproar, but that’s okay. Let’s put this aside.

However, the rumor that spirit creatures live in the forest is destined to spread widely. There are many beings in the world who are targeting the inner circle of spiritual beings.

-Flash!

As the students were slowly retreating, a flash of light caught their eye. Porori is certain.

Soon enough, Porori flashed and approached quickly. It is the same attack method as before.

-Flash!

With another flash, Porori appeared before my eyes. A guy swinging a huge tail.

Do you really think that the same attack as before will work? It’s fast, but it’s a different story if you prepare in advance.

I was puzzled for a moment, and after dodging the attack with minimal movement, I punched out. Until then, I was full of doubts.

-Passy!

“Huh?”

But I never thought it would be a trap. I opened my eyes wide.

Porori disappeared after being hit by his fist. No, to be precise, it was disappearing.

The shape of Porori becomes increasingly crumbly. Afterwards, I could see that the shape was made of lightning.

So where is the real thing? I quickly rolled my eyes as Porori’s clone disappeared.

“Ah.”

“Here you go, idiot.”

You were under me. But it was already too late.

Because Porori’s shoulder she was already right in front of my solar plexus.

A real attack using speed while distracted by the clone. I didn’t expect this at all.

-Bwak!

For the first time in a long time, Porori’s Cheolsango hit my solar plexus.

“Kkeut?!”

I screamed and flew backwards.
