I remember hearing somewhere that the night in the forest comes quickly...

I don’t really care. While living with Asilie, after growing to a certain age, he often hunted at night, and one of the reasons was that he was quite bright at night.

However, no matter how quickly the night comes, it is a bit concerning that I have not left the forest from daylight until now.

The problem was not simply that the forest was huge, but that my body was in such a messed up state. It was harder than I thought to walk through the woods with my body getting heavier with every step, and the help I could get from them was limited as the spirits had a weak concept of the road.

That doesn’t mean the help is useless. Even though I was bleeding like that and the temperature around me was gradually dropping, I could feel the warmth. Without this, I would have had to stop and hide in an awkward position.

Thanks to that help, I am now able to settle down and rest under a cliff that has been carved out in a suitable location, so even if I am grateful a hundred times, it will not be enough.

“I wish the demons’ eyes were dark at night...”

He doesn’t have the energy to erase the traces, and he can’t shake off the pursuit at all. There are no simple tools, and the physical strength has reached its limit. Even if the wounds were excluded, it was not easy to recover, probably because it was the cause of dealing with too much mana at once.

In this situation, the option I chose was close to leaving everything to chance.

I hope that the enemy’s tracking skills aren’t that great, and I’m stuck here right now, taking care of myself.

I know. Believing that this unpremeditated and unsafe choice would go my way was a futile circuit of happiness in front of those who hid themselves by entering the empire’s territory and building a gate for the purpose of kidnapping or assassinating Esmuer. .

However, if you try to move with this tired body, you will be caught by the tail in a more exhausted state. To put it bluntly, I can confidently say that both the condition and the situation are worse than when I was dealing with thieves when I was 8 years old.

If so, I’d rather hide in a less conspicuous place and stock up on a bit of stamina in the hope that they won’t find me.

“It looks like it’s even going to rain. It’s a total asshole.”

It must have been sunny all day in the morning, but I decided to close my eyes for a while, ignoring the sign of rain as if to try hard.

The moment I made up my mind to close my eyes and go to sleep without any hesitation, as the spirit promised to wake me up even if I fell into a deep sleep.

“It’s good to sell.”

A sudden voice alerted me in an instant, so I opened my eyes again nervously.

I wondered if I was catching up much sooner than I expected, but it was only after I saw the heavy rain pouring down around me that it was noticeably darker than before I just closed my eyes, and I realized that I had fainted the moment I decided to go to sleep, and now it’s been a while.

As I forcibly moved my leaden-heavy body and head that didn’t work well, I checked the distance to the guy who had made his voice. Seeing that the black figure, who had just begun to emerge from the bush, was moving cautiously to drown out sounds and human presence even in the heavy rain, he couldn’t have purposely shouted loudly for me to listen.

In other words, it is said that the spirit has been preserved. I feel like I want to bow at least.

Kurleung! The flash of lightning and the sound that echoed at the same time were not thunder, but thunder. The world shone white, revealing the figures approaching me, perhaps from a fairly close distance.

“Are you here?”

As if hearing inconsistent words, the human pointed out the demon’s answer. At the moment when I was about to question whether the conversation was not aligned with the answer, the demons who understood the human language gritted their teeth.

It’s the same as lacking in skills, but what made you think it was different that you came all the way here? Humans are saying that.

Although it was dark, the agitation of the subordinates was clearly felt. And the demon thought that the nursery rhyme was not much different from him. Perhaps, while continuing the chase, he may have faced the situation he was most concerned about.

In the worst case scenario, that human... easily killed the captain and was just returning.

“When I first came out of the gate, I judged based on the situation in the capital and killed your comrades.”

While he was contemplating whether he should attack right now, the human continued.

“When I tried to escape from this place, your captain chased me down and tried to kill me, so I killed him.

Even when they saw a human getting up on their knees, no one could make the choice to run forward to stop the action. Rather, they felt threatened by human behavior and took a step back.

“It’s a simple story. If the sword is drawn, I will only draw the sword. Conversely, if the sword is withdrawn, there is no reason for me to draw the sword either.”

“...Are you appeased now?”

Reason shouted against the instinct to run away. There was no way I could have easily defeated the captain.

One day, by chance, someone who hasn’t found a way to kill anyone in the past 80 years. It also makes no sense to say that a being of the highest quality suddenly appears and kills him in one blow ahead of the kidnapping of the princess. The opponent is also extremely tired. That is, to deceive and deceive six people. If he could really kill in an instant like the captain, there would be no reason to show such meaningless mercy.

“Appeasement?”

But humans look so peaceful.

Although the clothes seemed a bit damaged, that was all I could see on a dark night with heavy rain. Even if I wanted to think that my limbs would not be intact like rags and rags, that calm reaction and movement kept blocking me from thinking about it.

And as if to block that thought at the source, the human drew his sword smoothly.

“Advice. The choice is yours. But you won’t have much time to think about it.”

Fear was saturated just by killing the captain who could already feel mana and could not be killed. Under other circumstances, they would have been ordered to disperse and run away.

However, when the demon tribe, who had been through a continuous war for more than 7 years, faced fear, what they thought of was the good fortune of the tribe, not individual prosperity.

“Today. We die here.”

that man is dangerous If you don’t know if you are fine or not.

I will risk my life to find out.
