Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 292

Helmut
Episode 292
‘What kind of monster is this?’
Helmut and Area had the same thought at the same time.
So, are you saying that they became the rulers of each region and hid to avoid getting into trouble with others?
Monsters with developed demonic nature overcome their instincts and build their own ego. But it wouldn’t be easy to build an ego that was as timid as this guy’s.
Isn’t this guy the ruler of the northern region?
It’s not strange to be relaxed and confident like Elaga.
“Because it’s a turtle.”
Helmut responded calmly. Aren’t turtles hiding in their shells when they’re scared?
But Kantra couldn’t do that because his neck was currently impaled on Helmut’s sword.
After a while, Area expressed her opinion in a low voice.
“It might be better for this guy to remain the ruler of the area rather than the other guy.”
I don’t know what happens to the forest ecosystem in Pahe after I leave, but wouldn’t it be good if the strong guy was quiet?
“Well, maybe he’s just acting because he’s a cunning guy.”
Helmut shrugged his head.
Anyway, all you have to do is throw its core towards the sacred barrier and purify it.
However, once Kantra is killed, the demonic energy it possesses will be released. That won’t have a good effect on you.
“I don’t think so.”
In the first place, will we ever learn that the monster that lived alone in the north was smoke?
Kantra’s eyes were full of tears like chicken droppings.
At that time, Area came up with a good idea.
Right now, Area didn’t have the power to add anything. I’ve already used a lot of magic stones, and there’s still work to be done.
They must return to the central area quickly. But the return journey will not be smooth.
They would experience the same situation as they had been continuously attacked as they entered the northern region.
This problem will not occur in the west where Elaga is heading or the south where Igrel is heading.
There are no monsters that would dare stand in the way of the ruler of the area.
In fact, there were no other monsters in this area of the sea where Kantra lurked.
Helmut also had the same thought.
‘This guy could be useful.’
“Kantra.”
Helmut opened his mouth.
[Why… are you calling me… human? I… I’m sick.]
The voice was clearly glum.
“We have already achieved our goal and now all we have to do is leave.”
Kantra’s eyes trembled.
[As expected… the purpose… was to… harm… me!]
“Don’t talk nonsense. “After you started a fight.”
Area scolded Kantra, who was behaving like a paranoid person. Helmut continued.
“If you let us leave quickly, I will draw my sword. “It means saving you.”
[If you let me leave quickly…?]
“The northern region is your land, as you said. So, like a master, take us to the end of your territory. “We are trying to return to the central region.”
[So… are you saying… that you’re going to leave… as is?]
“So, what good would it be for us, humans, to harm you? As long as you take us with you, we will happily leave. You will be able to live quietly again.”
[You… are going to… drag me out… and offer me… to Elaga… aren’t you!]
In this respect, he was befitting the ruler of the area as he questioned and questioned me to the point of irritability. Anyway, I’m saying everything I want to say.
‘I’ve probably never been stabbed in the back by someone in the first place.’
Even Helmut, who had been stabbed in the back, was not like this, so Kantra seemed to be just a coward by nature and very suspicious.
He was a guy who cared very much about his own well-being.
“If you don’t comply, you will die here. “Do you think you have a choice now?”
Death flowed from Helmut’s body. His blade loaded with vis moved slightly. Kantra screamed again.
[I don’t like it… It hurts… It hurts…! Stop…!]
“It’s noisy.”
“But not everything in the northern region is the sea. “Isn’t this guy slow on land?”
It was a reasonable suspicion to have for a turtle. A turtle crawling on all fours wouldn’t be able to run as fast as Elaga.
[No… I’m… fast… even on land!]
“Then take us there. “I will leave obediently.”
[Really…? Are you really… going to leave… just like that?]
“Yes.”
As Helmut responded firmly, Kantra seemed to ponder for a moment.
But he soon opened his mouth again.
[Pull out the sword… It hurts… I can’t move.]
It seemed like it was true because he was a very cruel guy. In any case, it isn’t difficult to put the sword back into his wound.
This guy was the type to listen better because he got intimidated when he was strong.
Helmut understood this and spoke in a cold tone.
“If you do anything in vain, I will just separate your head from the shell.”
Helmut, who had made a threat, pulled out his sword. Kantra’s scream echoed through the air again.
Alea frowned and covered her ears. Helmut shook the blood-stained sword into the air.
The demonic energy mixed with the blood was quickly purified by divine power.
Helmut put his sword in his waistband.
“Hurry up. Kantra, you probably want to send us away quickly.”
[Okay… everything.]
After a while, Kantra started to move. A splash of water rose around him.
It had left its shell above the water, with Helmut and Area on it.
He just started swimming and moving.
Rather than moving purely with the power of the body, it creates a vortex of magical energy and moves forward with that power. Naturally, the speed has to be fast.
More than any other ship in the world, the Kantra was a great vehicle at sea.
Like Elaga, it didn’t make its internal organs vibrate due to shock, but moved smoothly and stably like a huge ship.
“That’s amazing. “I never thought I would be born and cross the ocean on a turtle.”
Area also stuck out her tongue.
“But if you’re going to swim, how are you going to get through the ice? Are you going back?”
There is also an option to dive and take them both down. Alea’s eyes became sharp.
Kantra’s answer was simple to the point of ignorance.
[Break it all!]
It was exactly as it was said. The whirlpool around Kantra shattered the thick ice like sheets of paper.
Ice shards flew around like a blizzard. However, the speed did not slow down at all.
Kantra was a ship that broke through the ice and moved forward. Before him, no natural object in the sea will be a danger or a hindrance.
It seems like they decided to take the shortest route. The direction he is heading is straight south.
‘Now we are joining from the central region.’
Area closed her eyes and opened them.
Once everyone joins, all that remains is to break through the sacred barrier above the central area in the final stage.
*
Around the same time, Ygrel began flapping his wings toward the central area and Elaga started running again with Asuka on his back.
All three districts, north, south, and west, were calm due to the movements of the rulers of the area, but the east was not.
Because there was only one human in the east.
‘What kind of forest does this look like? I’m scared to death.’
After completing his mission, Xian was passing through the forest of Pahe alone.
It was easy to get to the end of the east, but coming back was never easy. Even if you are alone.
As if he was paying for his comfort, he entered a dangerous section alone where he could die if he made a mistake.
The notoriety of Pahe Forest, which I had forgotten until now, vividly appeared in my mind.
One good thing is that he is much better at stealth magic than the average wizard.
Spirit wizards are basically beings with a developed affinity for the forest.
Moreover, he had a dark spirit. One of the Dark Spirit’s abilities is stealth. That power was capable of hiding a single human from the threatening monsters of Pahe Forest as if they did not exist.
It obscures both odor and traces.
The dark spirit sitting on his shoulder was spewing out something like black fog from its mouth.
Of course, that’s what Xian sees, and from the outside, it just looks like a shadow.
Xian had to hold his breath every time vicious-looking monsters passed by around him.
‘I should have done more training in magic fighting with illusion magic.’
How many times will you have to fight against monsters in the outside world? There was even a training course for that. Before coming to Pahe Forest, I had made some preparations.
‘But I didn’t know that I would pass through the forest of Pahe alone.’
This was because Area didn’t say anything. Don’t you think that having at least one prosecutor with you will give you time to prepare the order?
Areya’s magic expression speed is very fast, but not all other magicians are like that.
While Area is more of a battle mage, Cyan is more of a spirit mage. He was good at supporting roles.
Moreover, what Xian himself did not know was that he had a small liver.
After encountering monsters a few times, he chose to quietly head towards the central area without fighting.
Elagaya is a leopard with a beautiful white fur, although its body is very small.
Ygrel was a bird whose feathers were a bit bright in color, but it didn’t look like a monster at all.
But it was just those two, and the monsters I met here were truly creepy.
I swallowed my saliva as a huge wild boar with twelve eyes and huge fangs passed by.
It was fortunate that no special concentration was needed to bring out the dark spirit.
If I had cast a spell, my concentration might have been disturbed and it might have come off on its own.
For Sian, it was a kind of terrifying experience.
Moreover, the monsters kept coming one by one and circling around, and they seemed to be able to faintly smell Xian’s scent.
A foreign and appetizing human scent in the forest of Pahe.
However, the spirit of darkness spreads a curtain to cover it, so it cannot find Xian and only hovers around it before disappearing.
If you make a wrong move and bump into a monster, hiding and everything else will be useless.
Xian had to hold his breath every time.
You may be able to fight and take down a few guys, but then you can’t avoid the surrounding guys flocking to you. So the pace is bound to be slow.
There is a long way to go to the central region. The magic stone that Area gave him seemed sufficient at first, but at this speed, it was an unreasonable amount.
‘When on earth is this white leopard coming?’
Sian resented Elaga for some reason.
It was ironic that he was not afraid while he was afraid of the monsters here, who were extremely weak compared to Elaga.
