Chapter 173

Count Warrug’s words had a greater impact than what I said to Lanos.

Count Warrug’s eyes widened as he added firepower to my words.

“I’ve felt this before, but a sword doesn’t suit you. It would be better to use fists like that mercenary king. “With your natural body, using a fist would be more threatening than a great sword.”

“If Lord Bevane says so...”

Lanos seemed to have lost his sense of resistance and relaxed his grip on the great sword.

“And you never know. Your aptitude might be better suited to fists. “Isn’t that right?”

Count Warrug turned to me and winked.

I nodded, saying yes.

“yes. That’s how I see it, too.”

Lanos is worried. I urged him on so as not to give him time to think.

“We need to move now. So please make a decision quickly. “If you say you will take a great sword, I will be against it.”

“okay. “You know, you can leave it alone!”

Even though it screamed, I couldn’t let go of my hand holding the great sword.

When I looked like I was about to speak again, he leaned his sword against the tree.

Suddenly,

the area touched by the great sword was dented due to the excessive weight of the great sword.

Considering its weight, unless you are really strong and ignorant, you would not think of taking that thing carelessly.

“good. Then move. “We’ve lost too much time now.”

“All right.”

I jumped into the road that had turned to ashes.

Sabak Sabak.

The feeling of stepping on ash was quite unpleasant.

The feeling of not being dirt or anything else.

And I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I felt like the ground was shaking.

‘No, it’s not an illusion.’

Something wriggled and surged beneath my feet.

I hurriedly stepped back and a sharp tentacle popped out in its place.

“Tsk. Have you figured it out already? “Ignore it and run!”

Count Warrug jumped over the tentacle and ran inside.

As I followed behind him, I realized why Easton’s executives did not want to come here.

Attacks came from all directions.

The entire forest moved to eliminate the unauthorized intruders.

Sanctuary of Elves.

The forest is the sanctuary of the elves. The entire forest moves to the will of the elf and sacrifices itself for the elf.

“Never attack. Do not attack under any circumstances. “We need to let them know that we are not against them.”

Count Warrug repeated several times that he was worried that we might harm the forest.

‘The forest is being restored.’

The further we went inside, the more the gray road disappeared.

Green plants were growing where the ashes were.

The area we passed by had already disappeared from the ash and was filled with lush greenery.

What came in was what came in, but this was also a problem when leaving.

Without the elf’s help, it was obvious that I would get lost even if I left.

It would have been easier to set fire like the Kairos tribe, but we came to help the elves, not to attack them.

Scream, rumble –

If the Kairos tribe in front of us had not moved while setting fire, we would have already lost our way and become lost.

Fortunately, it was difficult for those who came in with fire to move around here, as they could hear the sound of a fire burning not far away.

“Hit!”

“There it is! Attack over there!”

“You damn things!”

The sounds of barbarians shouting and swinging weapons were heard.

“It’s over there...!”

Lanos immediately raised his hand to stop him from moving.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Just wait a moment.”

When I told him not to attack them because there were guys right in front of him, he looked at me with a frustrated face.

‘This is dangerous.’

There was no time to listen to his complaints.

Now my head was filled with alarm bells.

Dangerous. I don’t know why, but I felt like it would be dangerous if I got involved.

As I focused my eyes on the aura, threads of various colors began to appear, confusing my vision.

It wasn’t difficult for me to realize that it was a symbol of mana.

I’ve seen something like this before, and the threads moved whenever I moved the auror.

Count Warrug let out a light sigh.

As he said, not only the Kairos tribesmen but even us were surrounded by elves.

Lanos, unaware of this, was preparing to rush towards the Kairos guys at any time, and the Kairos tribesmen were still cutting down and burning the plants that were attacking them.

“You cowardly ears!”

“Don’t make a cowardly surprise attack, but attack honestly from the front!”

Who attacked first? Are you saying this is cowardice?

However, he was not an elf who would be offended by their stories.

Rather, more elves gathered and spirits appeared from all directions.

As I was preparing in case the elves attacked, I heard a voice as loud as thunder.

[You blood-crazed wild dogs.]

Woman? No, is it a man?

A voice of unknown gender was heard, so ambiguous that it made one wonder if it was a human voice.

It felt like I was being hit directly on my head instead of my ear.

[‘We’ warned.]

The wind started to blow.

[‘We’ warned you guys.]

The wind started to get stronger.

[‘We’ warned that they would not look at us twice.]

Now, a huge storm has blown so that it is difficult to maintain balance.

A fire rose in the empty air.

The ground split apart.

Water rose from the cracked ground.

[‘We’ do not forgive those who disobey our warnings.]

The words came to a halt.

The water that filled the cracked ground began to boil.

“Everyone hold on to me.”

Count Warrug shouted as he drew his sword.

I reflexively hugged his waist.

As soon as I grabbed his waist, a huge shock hit my body.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

Hair flutters in all directions.

My face tingled as if dozens of blades had struck my face.

Something warm ran down my face.

My vision was stained with blood, and my entire body, from my right shoulder to my arm, was motionless.

My thighs were hot and stinging, and all feeling below my calves disappeared.

“Ah...”

There was no time to feel the pain.

fire? water? The place left by the typhoon, a mixture of various elements, was so miserable.

Except for a few Kairos tribesmen, the rest of the Kairos tribesmen were torn to pieces beyond recognition.

“Tsk. “If I had reacted just a little bit later, it could have been dangerous.”

Count Warrug’s slightly hoarse voice was heard.

I looked up at him and unconsciously closed my mouth.

“Blood on your face...”

His face had scars that looked like they had been scratched by a wild beast.

His left eye was closed, as if he had suffered an eye injury.

As a sword master, he was injured to this extent, and I also suffered serious wounds. Would Lanos be any different?

“Wow, it tickles.”

When I looked back at Lanos, I was speechless.

I knew his body was incredibly strong, but this was beyond my imagination.

There were wounds on his body too.

But compared to Count Warrug, who had scars all over his face, and me, who had parts of his body crippled, it was like fresh blood.

There were scratches on his face that looked like they had been run over by a cat, and very small wounds on his body.

There was a bit of bleeding, but it wasn’t that bad.

No matter how much Count Warrug stopped it, that was really....

“There was no reason to worry about them. It was ridiculous to worry about people who had this much power.”

I agreed with Count Warrug.

They inflicted minor injuries on the Sword Master and Experts in a single attack.

In addition, most of the Kairos tribesmen died.

How can we worry about people who are that strong?

We decided to go back like this.

As we were trying to move slowly, a sharp voice sounded in our ears.

[There are still some alive.]

[They are as tough as trolls.]
