Chapter 204 – The Black Forest

#204.

Starting with Samanrang, it has been several hours since they moved towards the village while being attacked by various monsters.
The monsters that had been constantly flocking and attacking were nowhere to be seen for about 30 minutes.

“Can’t you see the monsters now?”
“Huh. It looks like they’ll be going to town soon. From the beginning, monsters didn’t approach the village.”
“Well… That must be natural.”

If monsters had been in and out of the village in the first place, the witches wouldn’t have continued to live, no matter how much people’s eyes would not reach the black forest.
He must have put up a barrier or something.

‘It’s strange that it’s still there, but…’

If the village we moved to had been attacked by the Church of Destruction, it would have been in ruins, but it was quite strange that the barrier remained.
I tilted my head at him, put a question in the corner of my head and looked at Hisha.
What mattered now was that we had finally entered the safety zone.
It’s time to do what you’ve been putting up with for a long time.

“Sister.”
“Huh? Why is that— Hmm!?”

From the moment I entered this forest, I exploded the desire that I had been suppressing.
He immediately hugged Hisha and kissed her passionately.
I stroked the frozen cheek once in surprise, patted the back slowly, and used my tongue to open the closed jaw and squeeze it inside.

“Haha..!”
“Chew.. Jjook!”

Hisha, who was momentarily taken aback and tore at my chest as if to push it away, seemed to have calmed down and responded actively by wrapping her arms around my neck.
After exchanging saliva and repeating affectionate caresses, we parted our mouths without anyone saying it first.

“Haa.. What happened all of a sudden?”
“Suddenly, what did you want to do from the beginning?”
“Okay? Whoops.. I put up with it a lot. Would you like more then?”
“No, I don’t think I can stand it any longer, so let’s stop here. Do it later.”

Even on the way here, Hisha yielded all of her last hits to me.
He felt her self-sacrificing spirit of devotion and exhausted herself from suppressing her affection for her Hisha.
We also went through a brief crisis because the ground hardened after the rain, but when we overcame it, our love for each other overflowed more than ever.

I smiled at Hisha, who smiled at me, grabbed her hand and headed inside.
The number of trees seemed to decrease as time went by, and at some point, the field of vision opened up.

“Hey.. Is it?”
“Huh. But nothing.”
“…”

The exposed place was so desolate that if a stranger saw it, it would be a wonder that there was such a place in the middle of the forest.
However, Hisshaman, who had memories of living here, was convinced that she was a village after discovering minute traces left behind.

“Karut. Do you still not remember?”
“…Yes. I don’t remember at all. Why.. It doesn’t fly? If I had tried to resurrect while creating forbidden secret arts, of course I would have reached out…”

I couldn’t tell her expression because she was now transformed into a snake, but I could tell from her eyes that she was greatly agitated.
Even a hint of fear was reflected in Karut who looked around.

“I don’t feel it at all. No matter how much time has passed, I should be able to find traces of my energy, but why..!”
“Calm down Karut.”
“Ah… I’m sorry. I’ll be in for a while…”

Carruth, who had been in confusion, stopped even the movement of her tongue that continued to flick, but suddenly came to her senses at my words and disappeared with an apology.

‘I’ll have to pay more attention to Karut in the future…’

Due to the fact that he was an ancient god, I didn’t care much until now because I wanted to figure it out, but I’ll have to think differently.
Even if it is a god, it is only a living being after all.
She is the kind of woman who laughs when she is happy and sheds tears when she is sad.

‘I’ll have to talk about it after I get her skin back.’

So far, even if I wanted to take time apart, it was difficult because she was parasitized in Hisha’s body, but now that I have her body back, won’t there be time to talk?
She was lost in thought for a moment, then she followed Hisha, who was heading forward before she knew it.

“Sister. What… Is there nothing left?”
“Yeah.. Everything… Is gone.”

Hisha, who had been silently listening to my conversation with Karut, answered my question and knelt down on her floor, touching the loose soil.
Then she got up possessed and started walking towards one side of her.

There lay a rock that could easily be found anywhere.
At most, it’s small enough to make you wonder if an adult could hide there.
Hisha looked up at her rock for a moment, then reached out and caressed her, smiling.

“Still, this remains as it is.”
“…”

She wanted to ask what the story was, but when she saw the bitter smile on Hisha’s lips, her mouth didn’t drop.
As she just kept her side and looked at her slowly, Hisha slowly explained as if she noticed what she was thinking.

“When I was young… I was bullied. So she hid behind this without anyone noticing.”
“It must have been difficult.”

What kind of bastards are these really stupid bastards.
Hisha would have been very pretty when she was young, so why bother?
If it were me, she would have built up a good impression, saying it was an opportunity to be the helmsman.
As I clicked her tongue inside her, Hisha turned to me and smiled.

“No.. It wasn’t hard. Because when I came here, I was able to meet you, Rai. You have always been here.”
“Okay..?”
“Huh. I came here every day and just stared blankly at the rock.”
“That’s interesting.”
“That’s right. But thanks to that, I wasn’t bored when I was hiding. Even if you didn’t answer, at least you kept listening.”

Also I was me
Under the circumstances, I would have been an empty shell without a soul.
After receiving Hisha’s affectionate gaze for a while, I put my hand on her rock just in case.
At the same time, an information window popped up.

“Also..”
“Lie?”

Despite Hisha’s call, my gaze was directed straight ahead.
To be precise, it was the information window that popped up between me and the rock.

『Temporary Dimension #0001.』

“First..”

I’m not sure yet, but the numbers after it are probably the order in which they were made.
That means that the temporary dimension here is the first place to be created.
Indeed.. What kind of memories are sealed here.

My saliva went down in a gulp.
I had a hunch that there must be very important memories here.
Perhaps it was an opportunity to resolve the sense of incongruity between Karut’s memories and the current situation.

“Hisha. There is also a temporary dimension here. What do you want to do?”
“…I want to go with you too.”
“Okay. Grab your shoulder If I disappear by myself, don’t worry.”
“Puhuh… Don’t you think I look too young? Am I your sister?”

Glancing at the grunting Hisha, I smiled and pulled the strong air from her fingernails and cut off her fingers.
After a few seconds passed, a line was drawn on the finger that had been cut so cleanly that it was smooth without any problems.
The moment I buried it in the rock, the light burst out and took away my spirit.

***

Countless clusters of lights twinkle.
Numerous clusters of stars placed on the black drawing paper were each showing off themselves beautifully and enjoying the vastness of the universe to the fullest.

There.

─Kurrureu!

There was a guy

‘Red Dragon..’

A being with seven heads, carrying seven crowns and ten horns on its back.
A dragon with a body bigger than a few planets and a blazing flame blacker than the universe was glaring at it.
From the inside of his throat, like an abyss, a terrifying energy spewed out as if compressed flames were about to strike at any moment.

“Let’s finish now.”

However, the me in this memory was not at all intimidated by the sight.
Rather, a voice that felt even a hint of relief informed them that they were welcoming.
When he holds out his hand, all kinds of energy are contained in it.
It is no exaggeration to say that it contained a small universe, so all the forces existing in the world were compressed there.

Magic, aura, and other kinds of energy that I had never seen before were intertwined with spells to create new powers.
Seen but not seen. I feel it but I don’t feel it.
Some kind of force wriggled there that could only be seen as contradiction itself.

─Kooooo!!

The red dragon, seeing its power, roared loudly.
The cries of anger, hatred, and inferiority resonated throughout the universe.
Even though it was just a sound, the evil energy that could bring people to death made even their souls shudder.

What would have happened if I had actually heard this roar?
Even I, who can be said to have reached the 8-star level, felt a great sense of intimidation that made it difficult to guarantee safety.
The impression was long, but the time that had passed was only a fleeting moment.

─Quaaaaa!!

At the same time as the roar, the flames that were fired came closer, destroying everything that existed between them.
The stars that shone and gave off brilliance were swallowed up in the darkness and disappeared one by one as dust.
Standing in front of him, I was small.
He couldn’t even dream of resisting and seemed to have no choice but to accept his fate as it is.
But that was just my misunderstanding.

“Good.”

I shook off the compressed power in my hands.
It was insignificant to say that it was an attack created by consuming an enormous amount of energy that was equivalent to flying flames.
A force the size of a millet passed across the universe as it was.
Its power seemed very slow, but in fact it boasted tremendous speed, faster than light.

Darkness and light.
Two contrasting forces collide.
There was no roar or shock to be considered a huge and gigantic collision.
The flame was easily extinguished by a small power that did not seem to have the power to harm even an ordinary person, let alone block the trembling breath of the dragon.
As if meeting an enemy, the black flames scattered in all directions as if fleeing from its power.

“Die.”

─Quaaaaa!!

At the same time as the low chanting, the dragon’s cry resonated.
Not a roar full of intimidation like before, but a howl tinged with pain, which tells us that the blow is not small.
However, in other words, it means that it did not kill at once.

“Tsk.. Persistent.”

The dragon, which had fallen far away, was rampaging with one wing missing.
With one swing of the massive tail, everything in its path was shattered.
I gathered my strength again, as if I was trying to put an end to it.
All the forces in the world come together.
My gaze once again converged on the spectacle that could be seen as a microcosm, but the power suddenly dissipated.

“Oh, that’s a big deal.”

I also looked at the front and realized the meaning of the muttering mixed with laughter.

“Lord, master… Just… Get rid of it. Never mind me.”

Before I knew it, the four knights were gathered by the dragon.
It was a very fragile snake that was held in the hands of the being called the 4 knights of the Apocalypse.
It was Karut, my slave.

“I can’t do that. Harass my slave? All these bastards are behind.”

Eyes are moving
The face of Karut, who had been aware of this transcendental sense of the body, came closer.
Eventually, my hand, which arrived right in front of me, touched Karut’s cheek.

“Are you all right?”
“Master. I can’t… I don’t like it.”

Fubububuk-!

At the same time as Karut’s crying words, four swords pierced the body from all sides.
Death, conquest, war, famine.
Would it be like this if they were in the form of a sword?
The power trapped inside rages and annihilates even the immortal body.

But I laughed.
In my memory, I smiled brightly as if I was not going to show pain to Karut.

“Are you okay. I am immortal.”
“Ha, but… Hehe…!”
“To make my slave cry… Is that arrogant? I have to scold you.”

Kwagwagwagwang─!!

At the same time as I said that, I moved at an imperceptible speed, as if I were the only one moving in a frozen world, and slashed the 4 knights with one blow.
They staggered and formed an encirclement with the parts they had been hit broken.

“I can’t either..”

It was me who displayed great power, but at the same time as I moved, the forces that gnawed my body became stronger.
If this continues, it will soon disappear.
I calmly nodded as if I had realized him, and gathered my strength again.

“It takes time.”

At the same time as he said that, a piece of power the size of millet reappeared and tore the dimension apart.

“You guys… Are waiting there. I will kill you later.”

At the same time, it exerted great suction power.
The knights of the Apocalypse were sucked inside by an irresistible force like a black hole.
However, the power did not stop there and even tried to swallow the red dragon.

─Aaaaa!!

At the same time as the dragon’s resistance, my body began to rapidly disappear.
This is due to excessive use of force.
However, regardless of whether he was prepared for death or whether he really believed that he would not die because he was immortal, he poured more energy into it.

The power gathered again, and soon even the red dragon was sucked into it.
It is sucked into pitch darkness, which is darker than darkness, and soon the dimension is restored and completely disappears.

“Whoa.. That’s a bit tough.”
“Master… I’m sorry. Sorry!”
“Don’t say anything strange, wipe your pussy well and wait. I’m going to eat right away.”
“Of course! Anything—it’s dangerous!”

No matter what happens, the aftermath is important.
I pretended to be normal, but in the face of extinction, I was not aware that even an immortal god could not help but be agitated.

Black sparks flew from the small gap in the restored dimension.
Seeing the rapidly approaching energy of destruction, I tried to avoid it, but my body wouldn’t listen.
In the end, at the moment I wondered if it was extinction here, the green hair covered the whole field of view.

“Haaaaap!”

As if Karut was squeezing his soul, he displayed his divine power with a cheering sound.
A green light flashed from the center of the universe where everything around it was annihilated.

“Turn it off..! Master. Run away!”

However, its power was weak compared to the flame.
As if burning everything in the world, the flame that greedily swallowed up even Karut’s divine power quickly climbed up his arm.
The long, white arms quickly melted away in the flames, exposing the bones.
Of course, it didn’t stop there, it melted even the bones and gradually expanded its power.

“Karut. Who said to be cheeky? Do not go out on your own without an order to a slave.”
“Even Master.. Please live. Please!”

Even as his own extinction approached, Karut was my only concern.
Despite that worry, I approached at once and squeezed out the last of my strength to extinguish the flames that remained after consuming Karut’s arm.

“It’s dangerous…”
“Lord..Inniim..Because of me… Black..! Because of me, Master…”

Karut shed tears as she watched my body scatter to dust, even though she herself suffered irreparable wounds.
If this continues, both will simply perish.

“Karut. Live.”
“No, I do not want. I hate it without my master!”
“I am not dying. You idiot. So just wait and see.”
“Huh..! No matter how much.. I will wait for the rest of my life.”
“Okay.”

Karut closed his eyes as if his strength was exhausted.
As if he no longer had the strength to maintain his body, he made a coil of reconciliation with a small snake.
Holding the snake in the palm of my hand, I drew out all my strength.

“To hide a tree… Go to the forest.”

At the same time as my chanting, Karut disappeared as if washed.
The destruction of the body is accelerating.
My hands and feet, as well as my lower body, were completely gone.

“I… Don’t die.”

A promise to oneself and a cry to the world.
Inscribe the concept of immortality into the world.
The transcendental will itself became a huge force and affected reality.

After that, the view closes and returns to the present.
