Helmut

Episode 283

“Okay then.”

Before I knew it, it was time to leave.

After leaving a greeting, Xian walked towards the sacred barrier in front of everyone.

The plan was to wait for the right time and activate the adamantium in a location where no monster would approach.

The remaining three people and one monster now had to disperse in their respective directions.

Helmut asked Elaga.

“Does Ella know anything about the Kantra of the North?”

It would be good to secure information about the opponent you might be fighting.

Elaga frowned and recalled her memory.

[Well, I’ve only seen that guy once, so I don’t know him as much as Baharek. It was time to confirm each other’s existence and set boundaries. What can he say…. It feels completely opposite to Ygrel.]

“What does that mean?”

[Ygrel is a dynamic guy. Very talkative and curious. But as you can see, he has a bright personality.

Kantra, on the other hand, is gloomy. He’s a very quiet and serious guy. They are exclusive and inflexible, so if an opponent invades their territory, they are likely to risk their lives and fight.

Well, you guys are like flies to him, so he might not care much.]

Elaga, who inadvertently but naturally ignored humans, added.

[I don’t know how to fight. Ygrel is a flying beast, but he is….]

After hearing his story, Helmut and Area looked at each other.

Area opened her mouth.

“It doesn’t matter which guy. Because I will choose not to encounter you. Elaga, even if you were the ruler of the area, you wouldn’t normally approach the area around the sacred barrier, right?”

[What if he’s not as curious as Igrel? I feel so bad about divine power. I feel like it’s eating away at my strength.]

“Then that’s a good thing.”

Area looked back at Helmut.

“We will stick to the sacred barrier and move to the edge. Rather than flying towards the northern end, I think it is the safest way from monsters, even though it may be a bit farther because it takes a gentle curve.

“That won’t be too much for you, Helmut, right?”

It was said with the sprouts of darkness in his body in mind.

Helmut shook his head.

“As long as it’s not too close, there’s no problem.”

It worked out better. Just by being close to the sacred barrier, his dark sprouts will lose their magic energy.

It is a sprout of darkness that has already experienced something similar to awakening once. It was better to relax as much as possible before going out.

The person from 4 years ago who was controlled by the sprout of darkness and went crazy.

Because it wasn’t something that had anything to do with Helmut either.

[Okay then, enough chatting. I guess I’ll have to go soon. You blue haired human. [Hurry up and get on my back.]

Asuka looked at Elaga for a moment, who had no intention of lowering her posture.

Elaga’s back was much higher than his height.

Asuka saw with her own eyes how he ran from up there.

It was a dynamic movement that was absolutely not suitable for a vehicle.

“driving me crazy.”

He eventually sighed, kicked down the tree next to him, and climbed on Elaga’s back.

Elaga said angrily as I held on tightly to his mane.

[Take care of yourself. Even if it falls, I don’t know.]

If you run at Elaga’s speed and bounce off, your head might break. It was truly going to be a race for his life.

‘shit.’

Asuka cursed again.

I expected to encounter a dangerous moment in the forest of Pahe, but I never dreamed that the danger would be like this.

Area said as if urging.

“After work, please join Xian over there as soon as possible. “Can you find him?”

[I am a leopard. You can smell it. Don’t worry, just take care of yourself. In my opinion, you are the ones most likely to fail.]

Elaga spat out like a curse and flexibly turned her back.

A huge leopard kicked the ground and flew away. It was a nimble movement that was unbecoming of his size.

Soon boom from the other side! And the ground shook. The sound of trees breaking was heard.

Thump thump thump.

Elaga disappeared to the other side, leaving behind only vibrations, as if there had been an earthquake.

I could hear the screams of Asuka, who was going to be in pain for the next few days.

“Let’s go too.”

Helmut, who was staring at the back, turned his head to Area.

Area was staring at him. Like looking at something unfamiliar.

Helmut asked.

“why?”

“No, again… I feel the change of time.”

Area smiled lightly.

Four years ago, Helmut did not have a particularly outstanding physique in the swordsmanship department, and his growth rate was not particularly fast.

At that time, even though he had matured after going to Basor, he still looked like a boy.

But now Helmut has fully become a man.

Although his pale white skin was still the same, he grew taller and his voice became deeper.

Her face, which had a youthful appearance, has now matured to the point where it would be better to call it beautiful rather than pretty.

The characteristic intimidating and indescribable atmosphere had become stronger, but in front of her, it felt strangely softened.

It reminded me of the person I used to be, somehow the same yet different.

“let’s go.”

Helmut naturally took her hand and led Area.

Suddenly, I remembered the festival from 4 years ago. It’s an old memory now.

Area looked down at his wrist. I could see something peeking through the collar.

I remembered something I had forgotten.

“Are you still wearing that bracelet?”

“Because it wasn’t stolen.”

Even if the sword was lost, they wouldn’t have known what the bracelet meant.

Area placed her hand on Helmut’s bracelet. Her magic seeped into the white bracelet.

“It’s still useful. We can communicate at close range. “It won’t be able to display a video like it does outside.”

“You mean you can transmit your voice?”

[Yes, like this.]

Helmut asked back after hearing the voice transmitted through magic.

“Then what about me?”

“You can’t talk to me from your side. “The magical energy of the atmosphere is so strong that I can’t use that function.”

“That’s one-sided.”

“Just being able to drive at this level in the forest of Pahe is amazing.”

Area raised her eyes as if she didn’t know what he was doing.

A faint smile appeared on Helmut’s lips.

“I don’t think we’re going to walk like this. Why don’t you let me go? We really need to hurry. There won’t be any problem on the other side.”

Area, who gave a slight scolding as if she was embarrassed, called the golem.

For some reason, the golem that had been wandering around spread its wings.

Area said as she climbed on the golem’s back.

“I’m telling you clearly, I’m not asking you to go on a leisurely date.

I told you not to overdo it, but of course it would be ideal to use adamantium in the cores of all four directions of the barrier. That can’t be a failure on my part.”

His tone was that his pride would not allow it.

“It’s still the same.”

Helmut followed Area and climbed onto the golem’s back.

He naturally placed his hand on the shoulder of Area, who was sitting in front of him.

“…Where are you catching me?”

“Because there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to catch it.”

“Can’t you see the handle in front of you?”

“I can not see.”

Area turned her head and glared at Helmut, who responded so shamelessly.

But she soon pretended not to be able to win and looked ahead again.

“We will fly along the barrier. “If no problems arise, we will be able to arrive within two days.”

“okay.”

Helmut answered half-heartedly.

Alea’s shoulders were surprisingly small and thin.

Charlotte was also a woman, but she was slim and strong due to her sword training, so she was different from Area.

After breaking the spell, she was a tall, slim beauty among women.

No matter how much magic was used, how could everyone think Area was a man?

Doubts arose again.

“When did you reveal to them that you were a woman?”

“Right before I got here.”

“…Everyone at the academy didn’t know, right?”

“of course.”

Area was confident, but Helmut felt like he was being held back for some reason.

“Did you hang out with Asuka and Xian often after I disappeared?”

“No, it was almost like a mix of words. Why would I hang out with those guys? “I told you to work hard to sharpen your skills.”

It was a cold yet firm answer. Yes, this was Area. Only then did Helmut relax his stern expression.

Soon, a new-shaped golem soared into the sky. It spread its wings and began to fly along the barrier.

A few days of adventure, both long and short, remained before them.

Until we leave the Forest of Pahe.

*

Flying along the barrier was a peaceful and quiet time.

Helmut and Area talked for a long time.

Surprisingly quickly, the gap of four years collapsed.

The slight awkwardness soon disappeared as if washed away.

Although Area and Helmut may have differences in outward appearance, they fundamentally have a strong, rock-like personality. Even though they have grown, their essence has not changed.

Area, who had been listening to the story so far, spoke as if scolding him.

“Really, you’ve done nothing but train here.”

“Because there is nothing to do here except training.”

“If it were me, I would have done more. “Something like researching monsters.”

A sparkle passed through Area’s eyes.

For some reason, the look in his eyes was as if he had captured a monster and dissected it while causing pain for research.

Helmut turned his horse around.

“It seems like the temperature is lower than that.”

This is what he said when he saw Area’s cheeks, exposed outside the collar, turning pale.

In fact, the air was getting colder even for Helmut, who was insensitive to the cold.

Even though I was flying at a not very high altitude, I felt the wind hitting my skin at some point.

Frost was seen forming on the metallic golem.

“I guess it’s because we’re heading north.”

Helmut has lived in the Forest of Pahe for a long time, but only grew up in the central area. The north was especially unfamiliar.

Area suddenly asked.

“Do you know that it’s a world map?”

“A world map?”

“An ancient map before the Forest of Pahe was created, that is, before the Demon War. “It is a taboo in the temple, but Archmage Antiol had it.”

“Why that map?”

“If you look at the map, there is a sea to the north of Pahe Forest. According to the map, it’s inside the barrier. “If you look at how cold it is getting, the sea is probably frozen.”

“The sea?”

Helmut pronounced the word unfamiliarly.

He had never imagined the sea in the forest of Pahe. In Pahe’s forest, full of gray skies and strange trees, the sea was as unfamiliar a word as the desert.

“The water in Pahe Forest is not polluted, so the northern seas will be full of clear ice and icebergs. It will definitely be beautiful. ”

Alea looked back at him and smiled.

“Actually, I wanted to see that scenery with you. “No matter how important it is to get out of the barrier, it’s okay to enjoy that much fun, right?”

Helmut was momentarily speechless at that bright smile. My eyes were dazzling.
