Is there really such a thing as a voice to Kyle in a place like this?

That's what I thought as I kept walking in the woods.

It's something that's hard to walk on, so maybe it takes time but doesn't earn a lot of distance to move on.

but keep moving forward as you increase your focus and explore the signs around you.

I never planned to walk in the woods like this, but I find what I've always worn helpful.

The equipment called ghost armor covering my body is protecting my entire body.

Moreover, it has the strange performance that it is made to fit your body, so it does not interfere with the movement of your body even if it is in motion.

It was also helpful to have weapons on my hips from time to time.

Because in the back of these woods, bare hands are just as hard, albeit with attack magic.

By the way, what I have in my hand now is the Iron Slash Sword Gran Barca.

Kyouo's sword, the other weapon he had, is given to Kyle.

At a time like this, I thought a magic weapon called the Nine-Tailed Sword would help.

Because even Kyle, who has no combat experience, can use it as a flaming weapon if he pours magic into it, so he can defend himself for now.

But there is also the question of what to do if there is a fire because of it.

And then there's Tanatos at the end.

This is very comforting.

Tanatos has also been wearing ghost armor for a long time, and the weapon has given him the hardened brick stick I've already created.

If it's true, Tanatos is the fastest way to giant and thrust through the woods, but I just stopped doing that.

Because I didn't know what was in this forest.

There may be creatures stronger than the gianted Tanatos, for example.

Besides, Tanatos can't keep up the giant all the time either.

That's why I decided to keep it as a trump card when I had to.

I keep taking the lead as I diminish my spirit.

It's also pretty tough to walk while staying focused all the time with nothing out.

Come on now, I want to conclude that it was Kyle's fault that I heard his voice.

It was when I thought so.

"Ars, down there!

"Become!? What?"

Tanatos, who was walking at the rear of the line, raises his voice.

As soon as I heard it, I looked down, but I was too late for judgment.

There's something moving downstairs.

but because I didn't understand why it worked.

"Damn."

The next moment, I was hung upside down.

By wrapping my legs around me and pulling me up, I hung myself in a shape where my head was directly underneath me.

But this was definitely not a trap or anything.

Sometimes there's something in the jungle or something like hanging your opponent with a trap that uses a snail, but it's never like that.

Because I watched the whole thing with my own eyes, and I saw that the plant itself was moving like an animal.

"Tanatos, protect Kyle. The plants are moving and attacking. '

Speaking out loud, I waved an iron slashing sword at something tangled in my leg.

It just didn't seem that if it was a cut of iron slaughter sword, it wouldn't rip open, etc.

Cutting off what was tangled up in me, I landed on the ground spinning in the air.

"What the hell? Did the roots of the trees move and attack you?"

What the iron slaughter sword chopped off.

It was the roots of a tree.

From what I've seen, there's no such thing as a philosophy, a normal root of a tree growing in its heap stretching out into the ground.

Or it's out on the surface every now and then and it interrupts our walk. It's the roots of a thick tree there.

But that was from the very beginning of my untimely arrival in this forest, and its roots were not the only ones I could see specially.

but could all the trees here move their roots and hang their prey?

If that were the case, I would have gotten lost in a hell of a place.

Wouldn't there no longer be a resting place?

"Ars, they're still coming!

"Seriously. What the hell...... It's not just the roots of the trees, it's even the branches."

I got a bad feeling about it.

You saw this one as a threat in response to the first hanging of the sky, and then the tree strikes next.

From below, the roots of the trees move as they creep up the ground, and from above and beside, the branches of the trees are swung down.

Breathe deeper and refine your magic.

Distribute the magic worked up throughout your body.

He also sends magic into his hands and feet, but concentrated about half of them on his head.

Gather magic refined to sensory organs such as eyes and ears to sharpen your senses more clearly.

Thus, he continued to cut off the roots and branches of trees that struck from his surroundings with iron slaughter swords.

"What training, this? It's a wooden fist or something."

Keep cutting off what stretches and moves from everything around you.

Of course, there are some things to avoid because not all of them can be cut.

If it is a feeling enhanced by magic, it can be dealt with once and for all.

But there was a question of how long should I keep doing this?

If this goes on forever, I won't be able to move.

And I wasn't the only one in the pinch.

Tanatos was also under attack from the surrounding trees.

But Tanatos seemed a little worse than me.

It was hard to giant because I was by Kyle's side to protect Kyle.

I might step on Kyle to protect him the moment he gets huge.

But staying small delays dealing with trees.

Anyway, Tanatos had a stick of such length that it was easy to use even in my normal human size.

Because it is not a sharp blade like an iron slaughter sword, there is no end to an attack by a tree, whether it strikes at the roots of an attacking tree or not.

But it was Kyle protected by Tanatos who put him in such a stranger situation.

I don't know why, but only Kyle wasn't attacked by a tree unlike me or Tanatos.

To be honest, it helps.

but it was a mistake to think so.

Even though it prevented the tree from attacking, me and Tanatos were being led away from Kyle one by one.

It was just a little time.

But Kyle realized that he had not been attacked for some reason.

The Kyle speaks up.

"Brother Ars, Mr. Tanatos. Wait a minute. I'll stop this attack."

"Become, hey, wait. Where are you going, Kyle?"

I turn to Kyle as I slash the roots of the trees.

But there was no sign of Kyle there.

Kyle was running and moving.

In the direction Kyle said he could hear voices.

Further into the back of the woods than here.

Strangely enough, only that Kyle's movement does not disturb the trees in the woods, and even the trees move as if they were being guided.

"Tanatos, use magic. Huge. Follow Kyle!

"Ooh."

But it was too late.

Giant tanatos, but many of the trees around them were over 5m tall.

In other words, trees taller than Tanatos were not frightened of one giant Tanatos, and they continued to attack just as they had done before.

Got hit.

I managed to storm around with the gianted Tanatos, trying to chase after Kyle while preventing tree attacks, but I couldn't.

I wonder if someone might have stopped me and Tanatos to isolate Kyle.

By the time the surrounding trees had regained their tranquility, I had completely lost sight of Kyle.
