Chapter 320.2: Drifting Road of the Divine Tree

We abandoned the carriage and moved forward as fast as possible while kicking off the swarming Battle Ants and other monsters. The only thing that changed for me was whether I would ride on the carriage or on top of Mimic-kun, but now that we didn't have the big luggage that was the carriage, there is no one who could stop the Anthem and the others.

They are brave and courageous. On top of that, this time we even have Lapis and the others who know a lot about forests. No matter how many troubles come my way, there is no way it would become that problematic.

As I watch from behind, *unun* nodding my head at my childhood friends who are going on a rampage, I suddenly hear a loud sound, and Anthem's body, which has been leading the way, sinks to the ground.

!? Anthem Onii-sama!? (Tino)

Aaaah, a pitfall, huh (Cry)

In an instant, Anthem is buried head-deep in the ground and Battle Ants *zorozoro* appear in droves.

Apparently, they dug a hole ahead of us in the direction we were going and were waiting for us. There isn't just Anthem, so just dropping him alone wouldn't help them, but they are really clever Monsters.

Powerful soldiers appear, each with a weapon in their hand. For a moment, the place is filled with silence.

However, it is soon broken by a roar.

Mimic-kun *bakkon* takes a step backward as if it was under pressure.

The ground trembled and a giant jumped out of the hole with tremendous force. Anthem jumped.

He looks and is indeed very heavy, but he allocates most of his Mana Material to physical strength (His healing powers are also top-notch, but it is due to his efforts). He is by no means slow. It is impossible to stop him with a pit. You can't even bury him. Proof is, he has been buried before.

You can hear the *gushari gushari* crushing sounds of something hard being crushed. Anthem jumps out and tramples the swarming ant soldiers, then swings his arms sideways and kicks the ants.

Neither the swords and spears of the swarming ants nor the rain of arrows shot from the shadows of the trees could break through his impenetrable defense.

I really don't know which one is the monster anymore

Even if the other party is sacrificial soldiers, as Sytry said, there are things in this world that can't be managed with willpower alone. Well, there are some that can be managed, tho'.

After knocking them down in one fell swoop, Anthem resumes his march as if nothing had happened. As expected, the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) are shocked by this scene and their faces are pale.

When I suddenly look behind me, the road I passed is piled up with a large number of Monster's corpses.

I kinda don't want to go down this road when going home

When I am thinking about that, Anthem, who has been advancing without stopping until now, stops. Eliza approaches me, who is straddling Mimic-kun.

She has a calm tone. Her somewhat absentminded eyes are looking at me.

Kuu, we're here (Eliza)

Let's see (Cry)

Eh ?? (Cry)

Everyone's eyes are on my hand. As I blink my eyes, I check the guide I have just taken.

The guide, which until the moment I took it had been perfectly still and stationary, is now *kurukuru* spinning around despite not having any wind. I involuntarily stare in wonder.

!? Huh? Why.? (Cry)

As if we know, desu! (Kruz)

Not knowing what to do, I return the guide to Eliza, but the rotation doesn't seem to stop. Don't tell me It is broken? Even though I just hold it in my hand?

Th-This is a very serious situation. (Lapis)

A-As expected of you, Cry-san (Sytry)

Uuumu (Anthem)

The ever-smiling Sytry twitches her cheeks, and Anthem groans in resignation.

I, did I do something wrong? No, I did not. I, who do not have any talent to begin with, should not be able to do anything even if I tried to do something.

Th-That must be a natural phenomenon, you know. Don't they say that a compass can go crazy when you are in a place with a lot of mineral resources? (Cry)

That's not a magnet, desu! (Kruz)

No, well That's right. In the first place, it was still until a while ago.

I let out a small sigh and take out the Compass-Type Relic from my pocket.

Then, after opening the lid and checking inside, I let out a deep sigh.

I knew it, the needle is pointing toward the gate Moreover, with the atmosphere right now, it is not like I cannot not go. On the contrary, I will die if I am left behind. And either way, we have to go there to save Luke

Oh well, let's get going right away. What shall we do about the formation (Cry)

The road we are about to take is said to be a magical one. The ant Monsters will not appear either, so it might not be a good idea to let Anthem go on a rampage. That said, I don't want to leave it to Liz Our members, who love the unknown and often run out of control.

As I was about to start working as a Leader for the first time in a long time, Eliza steps forward and declares with an unusually serious expression on her face.

Kuu, I'll lead the way. This is not a game. (Eliza)

Thanks for reading! So Anthem has already been buried once I wonder who tried to do that. And Sasuga Cry, just taking the guide broke it. It couldnt handle his destiny alteration power!
