Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 462

Helmut

Episode 462

The story so far flowed from Kantra’s mouth.

[You… passed the sacred barrier… and the forest… shook. [As if there was an earthquake.]

The sea where Kantra was located was no exception.

Vibration felt across the ice. The rolling sea.

And then the change began.

[At first… those out of the water… became… ferocious.]

Of course, monsters are inherently ferocious beings. However, out of the water, there was suddenly a loud sound of them fighting, biting and eating each other.

Kantra’s entire body was submerged in the sea near the sacred barrier, so he was almost unaffected by external changes.

However, I felt that my area had become increasingly noisy.

Kantra was a guy who didn’t really care about the monsters in his domain fighting each other, as long as it wasn’t noisy in the first place.

He is a very unique monster that will lie there like a fossil until he dies.

But it was too noisy. Unable to bear it any longer, he tried to calm the monsters by emitting his unique magical energy from under the water.

But this time it didn’t help. These monsters run amok without listening to the words of the ruler of the realm!

The order of the forest in Pahe was being broken.

Kantra felt uneasy.

But he didn’t come out of the water and try to control them. Because I had an instinctively ominous feeling.

As if something was out there targeting him.

It was a very powerful and dominant force and will.

Kantra further hid himself under the water.

When a turtle is in danger, it hides its limbs inside its shell. It was like that this time too.

Fortunately, the monsters under the water were under Kantra’s control and acted similarly to him.

Within the same area, the areas above and below the water were divided.

“The influence of demon energy is weak in the water. Conversely, the influence of divine power.”

Helmut said.

Through that principle, he swam underwater and escaped the forest of Pahe. That was the first escape.

“Anyway, this guy takes great care of his body.”

Helmut looked down at the ice. To be exact, Kantra would be rolling his eyes underneath him.

Kantra’s judgment was correct. If he had emerged from the water, he would not have been free from the devil’s control.

“But how can we show that we came?”

Area said curiously.

[So…?]

Even Kantra didn’t seem to know why I did that.

Even though we are not in a relationship of trust. It is ironically true that in the forest of Pahe, humans are more trustworthy than their fellow monsters.

Helmut instigated it.

“Keep talking.”

[Outside… a strange energy… became more intense. At some point… the guys outside… came together. Then… he started… leaving.]

Helmut asked.

“Where?”

[To the south.]

South. If so, it means that it was headed to the central region.

“Does this mean that monsters are gathering in the central area?”

Area tilted her head.

In that case, the decisive battle will be there as well. It must have been unpleasant for Elaga who left home.

Helmut said hopefully.

“Thank goodness. Because Kantra did not fall into the hands of the devil.”

A monster among monsters. One of the rulers of the five areas of the Forest of Pahe.

Even though he had a docile personality, Kantra’s power could not be ignored.

If he had lost his fear and become intelligent under the control of the Demon King, he would have been a difficult opponent.

“If only Kantra felt that way and had to hide in the water, then Baharek on land.”

Area shook her head excitedly at Helmut’s words.

“Baharek may have found his own breakthrough. Or maybe he was taken over by the devil. Kantra, do you know anything?”

The northern region borders the eastern, western, and central regions, except for the southern region. They were what you could call neighbors. Kantra replied sullenly.

[Baharek… We are not close friends.]

“Do we have close friends?”

Area expressed her doubts.

[My men in the water… they are friendly. They… chose to sleep… in order not to be dominated.]

“That’s why the north is so quiet.”

Those who could attack had either fallen asleep or gone south, leaving the land empty. The only thing here is Kantra.

“Are you saying that the guy down here is the ruler of the northern realm? “Baharek is the ruler of the western realm?”

Luke Yeager asked, recalling his knowledge. Helmut lightly affirmed.

“that’s right.”

“I met a big name from the beginning. “Do you have any intention of cooperating with the demon lord Kantra?”

Luke Yeager asked in passing.

[Demon King… It’s an unfamiliar word. But… I hate it. Something opened in the center… The magical energy… flows out like crazy. Kantra… You can feel it even in the water. Something that strengthens me… but also tries to control me. Kantra… Freedom is good. I… I like it the way it is. No need… no.]

“This guy’s talking is cute.”

Luke unexpectedly showed an interest in monsters.

Helmut understood what Kantra was saying.

“It appears that demonic energy is leaking from the entrance to the demon world.”

[The mass of demonic energy that was pressing down… disappeared… and since it was just me and Baharek… the balance… was broken. How do I know something like this?]

Kantra tilted his head as if he was puzzled.

Developed demonic nature brings transcendental knowledge. Knowledge close to the flow of the world. It is similar to instinct.

“The rulers of the five realms were playing the role of pressing down and closing the entrance to the demon world. “Magic energy blocks as magic energy.”

“But following Naho’s death, Elaga and Igrel also left, so the rock that could press the entrance to the Demon World has been removed.”

Helmut and Area exchanged words.

It’s just as predicted from the outside. At least the situation in the north looked better than expected.

‘The tough fight is in the central region. Before we go there, we must unite with those who are scattered.’

Otherwise, you have no chance of winning. The Demon King seemed to already have influence over most of the monsters in Pahe Forest.

The number of monsters summoned by the Demon King must be enormous.

The monsters of Pahe Forest are not easy.

You might deal with Elaga without much thought, but he is the monster of monsters. A monster cannot defeat a monster stronger than itself.

‘First of all, I’m not even with Elaga.’

It was a disaster. There is no guarantee that Elaga has come to the northern area.

If he had fallen nearby, he, a monster, would have easily found Helmut with his excellent sensing ability.

It must have been far away from here.

Elaga knows that she shouldn’t act alone, so I just hope she joins someone.

Only then can you receive sufficient supply of Rosetta.

Helmut asked.

“Kantra, what are you going to do? We will go to the central area and stop the demon lord. Are you going to stay like this?”

Kantra was refusing to be ruled by the devil. If so, wouldn’t we be able to become colleagues?

Area is here and Rosetta’s roots are sufficient.

Although Helmut threatened me, I broke up amicably with this turtle last time.

Since it wasn’t a bad relationship, I might be able to take him to one side for a while.

[Demon King… It’s scary. I don’t like fighting… I want to live… quietly.]

A sullen voice flowed from Kantra.

“He’s the ruler of the northern region, but he’s got no ambition.”

Luke Yeager clicked his tongue.

He asked as if he remembered Area.

“But Kantra. Can you sense the presence of humans from far away? Something like a trace of magic or a wave.”

The environment is so dark that even long-distance exploration using magic is difficult.

So Area had no choice but to take the risk and set off fireworks to find her friends.

I thought it might be nearby.

There are restrictions on using magic in the Forest of Pahe.

Unless you are an archmage or equivalent, it is not easy to even cast magic through the resistance of the magic energy in the air.

But Kantra is a monster. If it is a monster that is the ruler of an area, its senses and abilities will be maximized in this dense magical energy.

If this guy helped me, joining might become easier.

Kantra affirmed.

[I…among the rulers of the area…have excellent senses.]

Helmut and Area were easily convinced.

For a guy who is timid and likes to hide, he would have developed sensing skills as well.

[But… how long are you guys… going to be in my territory…?]

Kantra ultimately seemed displeased with that. He still hasn’t forgotten the memory of being pierced by Helmut’s sword.

Helmut calmly encouraged him.

“If you help me, I might be able to leave faster.”

[Yes, I left it there… and I came again.]

“To defeat the demon lord who caused this abnormal phenomenon.”

“For that, I need your help. “The group was scattered as they moved to Pahe Forest.”

Helmut and Area opened their mouths one after another.

Kantra looked like he was struggling.

[I felt something coming from outside… Divided into two chunks. One side… is my territory. One side… seems to have gone west.]

Helmut and Area Luke looked at each other. That was good information.

Kantra had already proven its usefulness. The situation I encountered after entering Pahe Forest was better than I expected.

Helmut opened his mouth again.

“We want you to help us find our comrades.”

[I don’t like it… Why me? You… figure it out.]

Kantra was perplexed. When I thought about it, it was annoying.

Coming this far was a matter of moving his heavy hips.

“Let’s get rid of the complacent thinking of just jumping on the bandwagon and hoping that things will get better once you become the ruler of each territory.”

Area added after making a point.

“Please do anything to help. Wouldn’t that allow us to return Pahe Forest to normal? Only then can you enjoy a peaceful life.”

Of course, Pahe Forest, where the sacred barrier disappeared after defeating the Demon King, will not be the same as before.

It was difficult to think of this timid turtle traveling south across the sea and actively preying on humans. Perhaps we will continue to live as before.

I don’t know how long the monster’s lifespan will be, but Kantra, the turtle monster, will live a very long time. Because turtles naturally have a long lifespan.

There was a high possibility that this guy would live quietly in his northern territory until the end of the world.

Kantra looked displeased.

[You… are bad. I’m speechless. I… can’t… be out of the water for long. So… I don’t think that will work.]

“If you’re going to be ruled by the devil, don’t worry. “Because we have also been thinking about how to deal with it.”

Helmut suddenly plunged his sword into the ice.

Quad deuk!

The gray vis cut a narrow hole through the ice.

The ice was thicker than a person’s height, but Helmut succeeded in breaking through to the sea in one go.

Water splashed into the hole and overflowed. Kantra was startled.

[What… are you doing! Attack…?]

“No, try eating it.”

Helmut dropped several Rosetta wreaths into the hole.

The pill that was floating above the hole went down as if being sucked through a straw.
