Chapter 386

[ Episode 386. Secret of Ilias]

The trolls usually went around one by one.

Thanks to this, Nebro was able to handle it alone before others stepped forward.

‘Why doesn’t mana run out?’

One question was Nebro’s mana amount.

I fully understood that genius, but in the case of mana, it was an element that required time unless it was an unusual case like me.

‘Clearly Nebro’s mana was insignificant.’

When he first became a parasite on his body, it was a really small amount of mana. However, the amount of mana that would be normal even if he used the highest level of magic before he

knew it. Anyway, it was a fraudulent character.

“30.”

Hunting took place over a long period of time. The forest was vaster than expected, and finding the troll was a job in itself, so it seemed to take almost two months.

“Finally got it all together. If you had gone to Shaiya at the time to collect this, you would have arrived already.”

Freyr grumbled and swung his sword without tension. My teaching continued even after I entered this forest, but unlike her appearance, she took up training with a serious attitude.

“You have to go quickly.”

Ilias promptly urged. Then, Freyr’s expression changed in a bad way.

“You were the one who asked me to do this in the first place. But are you in a hurry now?”

“That’s not it.”

Ilias shook his head with a serious face.

But nothing more was said.

What I felt while watching Ilias during my last trip was that it was strangely strange. As if hiding something.......

‘It’s like me.’

Yes, if I had to compare it, it was similar to me.

I was a person who had a lot to hide, so I often showed that kind of attitude when dealing with people around me.

“Me me! Now that this is over, let’s go back! Now, hand this over and go to Shaiya quickly from now on, it will be all right.”

Nebro stopped the two with a restless look. Then, without a word, Ilias turned his back and walked ahead.

“If it wasn’t for a real request, I’d just hit one.”

“Calm down, Freyr.”

I pity the flustered Nebro.

More than that, once Ilias started to have doubts, I saw more and more strange things.

‘There is almost no trace of learning the sword on the body. But the posture of holding the sword and the usual movements are quite plausible.’

Is that possible? It was as if I had mastered the technique only in my head. It’s not that it’s awkward, but it’s even more unique.

Also, judging from her usual behavior, she acted as if she knew in advance. From noticing that the giant was coming to the fact that she wasn’t afraid at all against the fairy queen and trolls...

‘Maybe I’m just being too self-conscious.’

Perhaps because of her resemblance to Luna, I was concerned.

In addition, it was all the more so because Nebro and emotional assimilation were taking place.

Nebro, who had little experience of meeting others, didn’t know why, but he seemed to like Ilias very much.

“It’s not because you keep treating me so softly that I’m not acting like that.”

“crime. sorry.”

[“How long are you going to be scolded? Go back to the Fairy Queen quickly.”]

The Ilias is Ilias, so getting out of this forest was the priority.

30 troll hearts gathered in a net made from vines from the forest. Eventually, following the guidance of the guide fairy who had been with us for two months, we arrived at the place where the fairies live and were greeted with great hospitality.

-It’s really 30 Star Candy! amazing!

Light spread in all directions. The fairies screaming joy roamed around us, and soon the Fairy Queen approached and cheered.

“Fairy Queen.”

At that time, Ilias came forward and said with a serious face.

“In exchange for handing over the star candies, you also follow Shaiya.”

-Eh?

Her companions were also taken aback by her sudden words that had not been spoken about in advance.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Ilias?”

Freyr and Nebro talked, but Ilias stared at the Fairy Queen without even turning his head as if he would not give up his stubbornness.

“Follow Ilias.”

-but! we promised If you get 30 star candies, let them go outside!

“I know what you’re going to use the troll’s heart for.”

Uncharacteristically for Ilias, he scanned the fairies with a cold gaze, revealing the blade he was holding in his arms.

Sueung-!

“Will the cloud really let us who killed the trolls go? You have to take responsibility for it.”

-......Nyx’s priestess, you’re a bit strange. Why do you know that?

The Fairy Queen smiled eerily, raising only the corners of her mouth. At the same time, the friendly atmosphere quickly darkened.

“what. I don’t know if it’s far off, but let’s try it now, is this?”

Freyre, who felt the spirits of the fairies, drew his sword while lighting his twin wick. And Nebro showed a gesture that he did not know how to deal with and spread a protective shield.

“Why are you suddenly like this......”

“Fairy Queen Green Narae. I did what you guys couldn’t do, so pay the price.”

Ilias showed a strong look in contrast to the dazed look he had shown so far.

-I don’t want to leave this forest?

[“If you help us, Siddhartha in Northern Guro will reward you.”]

-Hmm? I don’t like it very much!

“Are you just going to talk to each other? I can’t hear you!”

The Fairy Queen laughed heartily at Freyr’s words.

Then, suddenly, he tilted his head and asked.

-I’d rather think about it if you give me a reward yourself?

[“Me?”]

What compensation can I give you in this state?

-If you promise me, will you follow me?

[“As you can see, I look like this. How can I reward you?”]

-I’ll tell you later when I’m done. how is it?

The Fairy Queen made a suggestion in a calm tone. I became wary of her proposal after confirming that, unlike her pure-looking appearance, she also had a ferocious appearance.

“Accept it.”

At that time, Ilias spoke to me with earnest eyes.

“Please, angel.”

[“There’s not much I can listen to anyway. If that’s okay with you, I promise.”]

-Good!

The Fairy Queen accepted the deal. At the same time, he looked at Ilias and gestured as if to return the bundle he had left.

-So now give me star candy.

“here.”

It was a dramatic negotiation settlement.

Anyway, Ilias seems to be hiding something, but I felt the need to talk a little more for the future journey.

Duwoong————–!

“Kheop!”

“iced coffee?”

-found. found. found. found.

An intense wave that vibrated the air was transmitted, and someone’s voice was heard.

-Oh, it’s late. So I said I had to leave soon.

The Fairy Queen muttered in a carefree tone.

– It’s cloudy. All dead now! Hi-Hi!

It seems that the cloudiness I mentioned earlier has arrived here. It seemed to be related to the trolls just from hearing about it...

‘I think I’ve heard this voice somewhere.’

Soon, along with the sticky noise, the cries of the trolls echoed around.

-Grumble!

Ssssss–

“You have to leave quickly, Green Narae.”

– I still have work to do with star candy? I can’t go until then.

When the Fairy Queen refused, Ilias’ face turned blue.

“Does that take a long time?”

-huh? no. it’s over soon

“Then I will stop them.”

“conveyancer! Cloudiness is transcendent. I can’t stop it.......”

“It’s okay.”

Nebro’s trembling reached me.

However, he spoke confidently without showing any such sign outwardly.

“I became stronger to protect something precious. And you are precious to me.”

It might not be a big deal to other people, but having worked with Nebro for the past few years, I could tell.

Freyr and Ilias. That they have become very precious and special beings to Nebro now.

“Anyway, we’ve only been together for a few months......”

Seeing Nebro like that, Freyr grumbled and stood by.

“Hey fairy! Get it done quickly. I’ll see how I can hold out until then.”

“Freyr.......”

“Don’t look at me grossly. I’m just doing it because I want to get out of here.”

Nebro looked at Freyr with a moved expression, then clenched his fists.

“I will definitely stop it. Even if the opponent has reached the level of transcendence.”

Slurp-

Finally, the person I was talking to from afar started to appear. And I realized

[“That’s.......”]

I thought the voice sounded familiar, so why is that guy here

...

A monster whose tongue covers its entire body.

He was the ‘Chaser’ I saw in the Tower.
