Reckless Act (2)

A forest in the demon world filled with ominous energy.

The forest where so many monsters and the demon king army were hiding was no different from hell.

A beast that cannot be easily handled even among the Demon King’s army.

Monsters and failures that fell victim to Makiela’s experiments.

And even the main unit of the Demon King’s army.

Among the dungeons in the Demon World, except for the Demon King’s Castle, it was the most difficult.

There is Andrei Snow Mountain of similar difficulty.

It could be said to be the highest among places that are semi-mandatory to visit in order to progress the story.

Of course, enemies were not the only problem.

“It’s so hard to breathe…”

Tyria covered her nose in pain, but it was no use.

There were countless corpses lying on the ground nearby, and bugs were crawling around.

Even though it is still the beginning of the forest, it is already like this.

When I actually encountered the scene I had only seen on the monitor, I felt uncomfortable.

‘I didn’t think of this.’

Everyone’s complexion looked bad, as if they were having trouble breathing as the fog and stench of the demon world covered them.

Among them, the only ones who are fine are me and Erina.

At best, Kayla kept her mouth shut and remained silent, but she just held on as best as she could.

“Shit… It’s a mess.”

Catalina couldn’t bear it anymore, so she kept swearing.

Even so, they could not give up the forest, so the march continued, but the pace was gradually slowing down.

Among them, the slowest ones are Serika and Malcolm.

At least I was there to help Celica, but not Malcolm.

“Huh… Huh… “

“Malcolm! Follow me quickly!”

“Catalina. Lower your voice. “There is a devil army nearby.”

When I scolded Catalina, she kept her mouth shut.

When Max or Arne gave advice, I didn’t even listen.

At the same time, he was secretly listening to what I said.

In the end, Catalina, who was worse off, grabbed Malcolm’s arm.

“Ruler. “Follow me quickly.”

“Thank you. Sister… “

“If not me, who will take care of you?”

Fortunately, thanks to Catalina’s help, the march was able to continue.

As we passed the beginning of the forest, a terrain similar to a tropical rainforest unfolded.

Thorns and vines that block the path, huge leaves that block the view, and even muddy dirt.

It was nothing short of the worst environment for fighting.

I’m glad I’ve memorized the geography so I don’t get lost.

If you’re not careful, you could not spot the enemy in front of you and be taken by surprise.

Especially in a situation where Tyria, who is sensitive to her senses, had her five senses dulled by the bad smell.

Only Erina was able to conduct proper reconnaissance.

“…There is an enemy ahead.”

As soon as Erina finished speaking, her colleagues took out their weapons.

A group of monsters appeared from the front. For a lizardman, he was quite large and had a bizarre shape.

‘Are you planning on creating a group of mutants?’

If things were left like this, the entire Demon King’s army might end up in Makiella’s hands.

He lifted his long sword and radiated chills from the blade.

At the same time, the ground was frozen, turning the muddy dirt into ice.

We even made spikes on our shoes to prevent slipping.

“Tyria, Celica, and Kayla support from the rear, and Malcolm provides cover for the three. Let’s charge the rest.”

“Yes. I understand.”

As they rushed out with the signal, the lizardmen noticed their presence and took out their spears.

In the eyes that looked at me, only white, colorless eyes remained.

Not a single person showed any sign of being shaken and took out their spears and prepared for battle.

Even though his whole body was hit by flying arrows and magic, he didn’t even scream or scream.

All he does is fall to the ground and viciously swing his spear.

Even though my leg was broken by an arrow and my body was set on fire by a fireball.

Even though his leg was blown off by a knife, he crawled on the ground and held on to his ankle.

“Get away from me!”

Catalina trampled the Lizardman who fell to the ground and stuck a sword in his head.

When I swung the sword, focusing only on my head, I fell down without even a chance to resist.

However, the group of Lizardmen did not sit idle by.

“Seohyun…!”

Erina grabbed my arm and pulled me tightly.

At that moment, something passed quickly behind me.

‘This is…’

It was only then that I realized that among the Lizardmen, there were some who had blowguns.

A lizardman throwing a poisonous needle. Although it is quite rare, it is an elite soldier that is sometimes mixed in with the lizard group.

The fact that I almost got stung by a poisonous sting without my knowledge sent a chill down my spine.

Immediately, he infused magical power into the long sword and created a white fog.

Immediately after he lashed out his sword, a huge ice spear flew in a straight line.

The Lizardman who was hit directly by the ice spear fell down with a hole in the middle of his body.

There are about twenty enemies left. While calmly dealing with the opponent, Tyria’s voice rang out.

“Seohyun! There are enemies behind you too… !”

“The devil’s army has appeared!”

Did you notice the commotion of the battle and join in?

Just as the situation was about to become urgent, Catalina turned around and headed to the rear.

“Malcolm! “Get your mind straight!”

“Yes..,!”

Malcolm grits his teeth and answers. Although he was sweating and panting, his posture was upright.

A group of monsters and demons immediately flock from all directions.

Without even thinking about it, the Demon King’s army was right.

“We have to deal with the Lizardmen first! Hurry up!”

No matter what, it was impossible to face the enemy while surrounded on all sides.

After quickly dealing with the few remaining Lizardmen, we had to face the Demon King’s army.

Because Catalina arbitrarily went back to the rear to protect Malcolm.

Only me and Erina had to put an end to the Lizardmen.

At that moment,

“Huh… Haha…”

Erina is breathing heavily and clutching her chest.

She, who had been silently swinging the knife just a moment ago, was suddenly gasping for breath as if she were in pain.

“Erina, what’s going on!”

“Ah…”

Erina suddenly opened her eyes and looked around.

Erina’s eyes sparkled as a dangerous situation occurred where a window passed before her eyes.

Immediately, electricity exploded around her body.

“Ugh…!”

Even though she was covered in electricity all over her body, she moaned as if she was in pain.

Immediately, he thrust his sword out at high speed, spreading a white beam of light in all directions.

Puzzle!

The lizardmen who were touched by the beam of light became completely black and fell to the ground.

Even the remaining guys froze, shaking.

Without missing the opportunity, he ran and cut off his head with a long sword, and he died.

“Erina. Are you hurt anywhere? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“No. I’m fine…!”

Erina’s cold expression returned, as if she had come to her senses again.

Soon after, the heads of the remaining Lizardmen were quickly cut off.

After clearing the front line and looking back, the enemies were gathered right up to the point where they could confront the personnel in the rear.

“Everyone get out of the way!”

As he pushed Malcolm away and swung his great sword wide, the air split and a huge sword wind arose.

While the charging demon king’s army hesitated, Tyria adjusted her posture and aimed her bowstring.

“Haa…”

After taking a deep breath, I let go of the bowstring and hit the first goblin that rushed at me between the eyes.

While she was moaning in pain, Tyria was preparing the next arrow.

Once, twice, three times. They continued shooting like crazy without any hesitation.

Tyria’s special move, rapid fire. The arrow accurately hits the enemy without missing a single shot.

“Tyria! “Be careful!”

“…?!”

At the sound of Celica’s voice, Tyria stopped her rapid fire and left.

Soon, a huge arrow fell from the sky.

“Be careful up the tree…! “There is a sniper!”

When I looked up at the sound of Malcolm’s voice, I saw a monster that looked like a goblin holding a bow.

‘Was there an archer among the goblins?’

Similarly rare, but occasionally appearing object.

Since coming to the demon world, various rare species have continued to pop up.

“Cerica! “Please take care of the barrier!”

“Yes…! “I know!”

Before I could say anything, Celica was already putting her hands together.

He knelt down and continued praying while holding his staff tightly.

Soon a huge barrier is drawn in the sky. But it was significantly different from before.

It’s not just a barrier. Warm energy spread beneath the huge protective shield, and the wound healed rapidly.

Sanctuary. Celica’s special move and a technique that virtually makes her companions invincible.

Instead, the fight had to be ended quickly before Celica lost concentration.

“Catalina! “Aim from the left!”

“Shit…! “Don’t give orders!”

Catalina looks irritated but immediately looks to the left.

He just recklessly rushed towards the enemies and engaged them in a melee

Meanwhile, I organized my battle lines and joined my colleagues.

“Krup… “

A monster with the face of a huge lion running straight towards me.

As he opened his mouth and drooled, the frozen floor melted into ice.

‘Did he put fangs in his mouth?’

If nothing else, I’ve come to the point where I think Makiella’s creativity is amazing.
