: Master of the Forest (2)

When the name of the Pyro goddess was mentioned, the bear could not attack.

Even so, it was hard to believe those words.

"You are not his sect. The power I cut off did not come from God at all."

right. I do not follow God"

"By the way, are you selling the name of the goddess?"

"I made a deal with the goddess."

The bear narrowed his eyes.

Originally, they would have been squashed as to where they were telling such nonsensical lies.

Especially if it wasn't for Apton, who was particularly strong in the realm of the Pyro goddess.

If those words were 'a lie to live', the goddess would have punished the author.

"Don't even beasts like you know the fear of the name of a god?"

The bear didn't answer.

"Anything ね."

master!

Jamie sat down without speaking.

Bena wept as she checked his condition.

"Then you really die."

OK. I am still in shock."

Although the recovery rate was reduced, the life orb did not lose its strength.

"It's hard to believe too."

The bear sat down and said.

"But I can't help but believe it again."

The prestige of the 12 gods was so high that they did not distinguish between races.

The bear sighed briefly and introduced himself to the two of them.

"My name is Theberon."

" All bears have names."

"It's ridiculous for a low-level human being to say something like that."

Jamie's eyes twitched.

Because Jamie had been fighting the gods for the human race, he could not ignore the remarks ignoring humans.

"Ignore it first, and then, what if it's a red flag?"

"Who are you on your side?"

Jamie clicked his tongue at Bena's point.

She got up and spoke to the bear whom she introduced as Theberon.

"Please get us out. I don't have time to be here."

It was unknown how many hours had passed since it fell on the ruins.

Because they sneaked out at night, they had to quickly solve the forest problem and return.

But Theberon had no intention of letting them go easily.

"Young Valkyrie. You can't get out of here if you don't convince me properly.

When Theberon found out that Vena was a Valkyrie, Jamie asked in a bewildered voice.

What are you. How do you recognize a Valkyrie?"

Valkyrie disappeared a long time ago.

It wasn't until Jamie met Bena that they thought they had never escaped extinction.

He knew that he wasn't an ordinary bear by his size, but he didn't even know the existence of the Valkyrie.

"Because there is no way a human being can show such physical ability. Above all, no matter what kind of life you live, the smell of Valkyrie will not disappear."

"I, do you know about my race?"

"We were together when we were young."

At that, Jamie and Bena looked at each other.

I never thought I would get information about her people.

"Where do you all live? Where can I go to meet my people?"

There was no such thing as fraternity in Bena.

I've never seen it before, and I've heard it all, but what's the point of having another Valkyrie alive?

However, they would know why they were sent into human life.

Bena wanted to know why she had to go through a hellish decade.

"It's a pity. I don't know why it went to the human world, but with your skills now, you will die before you reach the place where the Valkyrie live.

It's very disgusting to say that you're sorry you're trying to kill yourself.

"That is a different matter."

"So where is it?"

"The deepest part of the Ariazad Great Forest. There are Valkyries in the 'Fountain of Time'."

Jamie's eyes narrowed.

As Theberon said, he would never be able to get there with his current skills.

'When I asked where I bought it, it was there.'

Jamie remembered the queen who led the Valkyries in Diablo Volfir.

She went well with the red red like flames, and after she was defeated by the 12 gods, she led the Valkyries and disappeared somewhere.

It has now become one of the six great forests, the Great Forest.

'If that much time has passed, it wouldn't be strange if it changed like that.'

It was fortunate that the Valkyrie was still there.

"The fountain of time ."

Bena repeated the name over and over, as if she would never forget it.

Jamie put her hand on her pink hair.

Slightly startled, Benna looked at Jamie.

"I appreciate that information."

Jamie got up.

It was still difficult to focus, but it was worth standing still.

"It's amazing resilience for a human being."

"Cut off the noise. Now let's get to the point."

"About the demons and your power?"

okay.

Jamie didn't understand what that bear said.

It was a 'Demon Egg', and since the Demon King's followers [Demons] were intertwined, it was quite possible. However, he could not understand why his power was related to the egg.

"Is my power clear?"

okay. It is definitely your strength."

But like I said before, we're here for the first time today.

"If you hadn't mentioned the Goddess, I would have ignored your foolish lies and killed you."

"At least one of your limbs must have been taken with you to the underworld."

At Theberon's words, Jamie did not bow down and accepted it.

A hot air flow began to flow between them again.

master. We have to talk."

"Shit."

I don't like that bear either.

Perhaps it was the same for Theberon, too, and he looked at Jamie with a distasteful look.

Bena decided that she had to mediate the current situation to keep the conversation going.

"Please keep talking."

"About a month ago, that filth appeared in my forest."

* * *

Theberon was sleeping here as usual.

As the owner of Myrine Forest, and waiting for a very long time for the mission I was assigned to.

Because Mirinne Forest is a part of the Great Forest, monsters that have been defeated in territorial battles have occasionally come over.

I thought it was that day too.

Theberon ascended to the ground to defeat the loser before the forest was ruined.

Most of the monsters in the Great Forest were not his opponents.

The losers who came over from the great forest were nothing more than prey to fill their stomachs.

Its highly developed sense of smell found its target with ease.

And when I got there, Theberon realized that I was completely wrong.

"It wasn't like the monsters who lost in the territory battle were there. It was an egg of a demon that was very evil and disgusting just by looking at it. And the aura that covered it completely blocked my access."

Theberon frowned as she recalled that day.

No attack could break the barrier of energy that covered the egg.

It was impossible.

Theberon's attack could crush even a small mountain if he wanted to.

Even a sword master called a superman could not pursue Theberon in terms of pure attack power.

Such an attack would not work.

"I came back here reluctantly. Instead, I did one thing."

That is, the power of the demon's egg-like nature has been blocked at the source.

"How did you block it? You don't feel mana.

I didn't ask because I wasn't in a hurry before.

Theberon had no mana. So, of course, I couldn't use magic.

It's not just Theberon.

The giant armor I met in the first ordeal, and the various traps, all worked in an unknown way.

"The power of relics."

"You mean the ruins themselves have power?"

Yes.

"So, the entire space is an artifact. This is it."

Jamie looked around the wide space.

A huge space where even Theberon, which is over 50 meters high, can jump. Aside from this room, there were several other rooms.

In terms of size alone, it was slightly larger than the site of Earl Welton's mansion.

To create an artifact of this size, you would have to be one of the world's leading mage engineers.

"Wow- the entire ruins are artifacts. It would be prohibitively expensive."

Jamie ignored Bena's nonsense and continued to ask.

"Who the hell made this relic? Why did he make this underground in the forest, and how does he know the ancient language?"

From the moment Jamie entered the ruins, he wondered who made it.

"I think these ruins were built around 600 years ago. I don't even know where my master came from. I only know that he is the one who raised me as a child, and that he is a magician of great skill.

600 years is about 100 years after Ganon's death.

"The owner was a great magician, but he was also good at creating artifacts. He was particularly good at constructing large-scale buildings."

"Then you mean you don't know about the ancient language written on the ruins?"

okay.

"What was the purpose of creating the remains?"

"I can't tell you that."

At Tiberon's resolute words, Jamie tried to inquire further.

Because I didn't think I would say it just because I asked.

Jamie got back to the point and opened his mouth.

"Anyway, that's why I borrowed the power of the ruins to block my power."

right.

Jamie looked at Bena.

Then he asked Theberon, pointing at her.

"Can't you feel this guy?"

"The power of the Valkyrie is completely different."

no. Another power."

Theberon looked at Bena carefully. His right eye twitched slightly.

"You have other powers."

"I can't see the power of the ruins, so it's annoying."

"That's why it's great."

Jamie clicked his tongue at the bear's words, who didn't say a word.

"I didn't feel it because it was so small, but it's similar to you. But different. That's a little different."

This guy's power has been cut off.

"It is worth it. Different, but similar. but you are not Its power is exactly the same. It does not make sense. Why can they be the same?"

Theberon spoke in a disbelievable voice, but Jamie was the most disturbing and unbelievable.

Why is the same power as you protecting the demon eggs, and how did such a power exist in the first place?

'My strength would be only me.'

I remembered what Ricky had said.

'The Goddess said, if you are his successor, you will know.'

At first I didn't know what that meant.

In fact, I still don't quite understand it.

So I had to see it with my own eyes.

"Get us out."

" ."

"I want to see it with my own two eyes."

"Is there any possibility?"

"If my strength comes back, surely."

As soon as the words were finished, Jamie's eyes turned purple.

Emerald hair fluttered in the flowing black mana.

Jamie clenched his fists at the power that wriggled all over his body. And he smiled and spread his arms out.

"You bastard!"

Theberon cried out urgently, but it was already too late.

Black mana touched the walls of the ruins and began to seep into them.

Theberon felt the ruins' system shake.

"What have you done!"

Tiberon burst into tears and rushed to Jamie.

master! What are you trying to do?!"

Even Benna was greatly embarrassed by Jamie's sudden action.

Jamie said as she watched Theberon rushing in.

"Nobody!"

Black lightning flashed through the black mana.

"You can't control me!"

flash-!

A black light burst out.

A vast number of formulas entered my mind. The information of the mana circuit and the system spread throughout the ruins began to be calculated at a tremendous speed.

And the structure of the ruins began to be pictured in my mind.

Jamie laughed out loud at the amazing structure.

everything seemed

All about these ruins!

'Awesome!'

The yangban who made this had truly astounding skills.

I wanted to take a leisurely look around, but I couldn't afford that.

You never know when that monstrous bear will trample you, so you have to take control as soon as possible

'What is that?'

A space was felt beyond the left wall of the room of the third trial.

Jamie sent the ritual there, and a warehouse appeared. The warehouse was almost empty, but there was only one thing left.

it was a ring

'That ring... .'

It was an ordinary gold ring, but the power I felt was telling me that it was an artifact.

It must have been a pretty powerful weapon, too.

Suddenly, Bena came to mind.

That ring goes very well with Bena. Aside from the aesthetic aspect, it fits perfectly. Long experience has said so.

'For now.'

I can't take that ring with my conscious mind.

First, take control of this ruin and then retrieve it.

After thinking, Jamie widened her consciousness. So that you can see the remains at a glance, so that you can reach its core.

and found

If only the core of the ruins is dyed with black mana, the ruins are completely theirs.

At that moment, an old man appeared. The old man's face was hazy overall, but only his smiling lips were clear.

At the same time, consciousness bounced back to reality.

"ね!"

Jamie flinched, grabbing his head, and knelt down on one knee.

this guy! What are you doing to the ruins? !"

Theberon wakes up and tries to run again at Jamie.

"Until there. Otherwise, the entire ruins will be destroyed."

Jamie warns, grabbing his head.

"What did you do?"

"I'll tell you later, so shut up. head hurts.

I couldn't get to the depths of the ruins.

Apparently, the old man he saw last had strong security. It was fine though.

'I didn't know the secret of the ruins, but I know roughly how to use it.'

That big bear was only the manager of the ruins, but he didn't understand the system properly.

Theberon frowned and tried to neutralize the black mana again.

But the ruins couldn't help Jamie.

"Why not?!"

"You will no longer be able to block my power."

what?

Seeing the bewildered Theberon, Jamie smiled uncomfortably.

"You have set me up as 'the vice-master'. Unfortunately for you, it seems that my authority is higher."

It's a pity that I couldn't completely take over the ruins, but I could do a lot with the authority of the submaster.

Your master isn't the only one who's versed in artifacts.

It was none other than Diablo Volfir who created the artifacts called the three great gods.

It is true that the creators of the ruins are also very talented, but Jamie was confident that even the security would not be difficult to break if he restored his former state.

"Well, everything I said is true."

"I can't believe it!"

"Even if I don't believe it, I can't help it. Bena, get me."

"Yes, four!"

Bena hugged Jamie's neck.

Jamie tried to argue that he wasn't meant to be caught like that. Because it wasn't urgent.

"Don't bother chasing me."

"You bastard!"

"You want to chase, but you can't?"

At Jamie's ridicule, Theberon swung his paw wildly.

"Damn it!"

The two of them disappeared out of nowhere.

It was moved to the ground using the power of the ruins.

Being alone, Theberon felt helpless and sat down on the floor. Then he grinned.

host. what do you think Is that the guy the owner has been waiting for?"

There was no way to hear an answer, but Theberon muttered to himself and lay still.

"If that's true, one day he will reappear to devour these ruins."

* * *

"Are you okay?"

"I'm not okay ."

Jamie pulled Bena to the side, dangling from her neck.

Although the spatial movement of the ruins was a little messy, the coordinates were easy to set, so it was easy to get up to the ground.

'It would be nice if I could use the ability to block.'

Unfortunately, that power was only possible if there was someone inside the ruins to maintain it.

So, even Theberon could not use that function and ascend to the ground at the same time.

Still, thinking that there was no more obstacle, I felt more at ease.

'Who's power are you arrogantly disabling someone's power?'

In the past, it would have made them neither die nor live after suffering all kinds of pain.

"More than that It really hits the mark."

master. This energy is definitely... ."

Jamie smiled bitterly at the aura she felt not far away.

okay. It is my strength."

His black mana, which could not exist, was clear.
