Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 475

# 475

Helmut

Episode 475

An enormous amount of magical energy began to gather in the hands of the two wizards standing in front of the carriage.

Fires the strongest attack magic available.

It felt like two fireballs were eating up the air. A vibration shook the carriage.

Helmut warned.

“Ella, bow down!”

Elaga fell as flat on the floor as possible. For some reason, it was humiliating.

Doesn’t it seem like he is taking an attitude of submission to the Demon King’s barrier?

“The moment the magic hits directly and there is a gap in the barrier, it enters immediately.”

[I know.]

Elaga grumbled. Beyond Baharek and Ygrel, the monsters that had gathered behind the carriage were pacing around angrily.

You cannot get close to the barrier. But the back of the carriage was close to them.

The guys were so intoxicated that they picked up stones and dirt from the floor and threw them.

Xian struck a barrier and blocked it.

Quack! Kwakagak! Kwagak!

A fierce sound rang out.

Asuka clicked her tongue.

“Are there all these bad-tempered guys?”

The smell of human meat seems to stimulate them.

Sian responded.

“You look exactly like you from your academy days.”

“what?”

Xian pretended not to notice Asuka, who was rolling her eyes, and turned to look at Area and Heike.

The magic was being completed at a rapid pace.

Amid the whirring sound of the barrier, Luke Yeager cleared his throat and muttered.

“This is my first time experiencing this much attention from monsters.”

“I don’t want to go through this again.”

Levant received the word. He was the first to join the conversation. A sense of camaraderie was blooming between them.

However, in order to share camaraderie, you must first achieve your goal and return alive.

And the magic was complete.

Area raised her hand first. The explosive concentration of magical power was shining dazzlingly between her hands.

It was a unique magic with enough destructive power to blow up a city created by Area herself.

A little later, I could feel Heike’s magic being completed from the side.

Area released swirling magic towards the black barrier.

“Light that pierces the storm!”

Pure white light exploded. The brilliant light, as if a meteor had fallen, blinded my eyes. No one was an exception.

Next moment.

Touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The whining sound of the barrier stopped with a dull sound.

As if the living body had been paralyzed by high-intensity electric magic. Then, Heike’s magic struck directly.

“Ice Spear!”

Thousands of ice spear blades pierced the barrier.

Like frozen water breaking a rock, the spear blade penetrated the barrier and expanded its volume.

And soon the door opened. Darkness shined through the gaps in the scattered barriers.

Even if you climb through thick clouds, all you can see at night is darkness.

Or the moon that shines the stars and the sun that lives on and reveals its presence even in the darkness.

They were heading towards the Demon King and also towards the center of the sacred barrier.

Both the Demon King and Lumen exist there.

[Goes! Hold on tight!]

With a single word, Elaga kicked her feet and ran. Immediately his body passed through the barrier.

The carriage behind it also entered the barrier.

Gggggggg!

I could feel the resistance of the barrier remaining vague like fog.

However, the power led by Elaga was so great that the carriage passed through the barrier as if it were physically breaking it.

Because the golem was so strong, it was able to pass through with almost no damage. The same was true for the humans riding on it.

[Everyone passed, right?]

Elaga asked after stopping for a moment. As soon as they passed the barrier, everyone sighed.

Although a large force called Baharek and Ygrel was lost, no one was seriously injured or killed on the way here. It was fortunate.

The wizards restored the party’s stamina and took out magic stones to replenish the consumed magic power.

It was a very short break.

This was possible because new monsters did not attack immediately from beyond the barrier.

Helmut stood upright and looked around. The ground was still as black as outside the barrier.

“It looks like it was dyed with squid ink.”

Helmut said it was the blackest liquid he knew.

Alea narrowed her eyes.

“Some say it’s like black ink.”

Helmut kept his mouth shut. He did not know the difference between the two expressions.

The land and forest were all black, but the scene inside was similar to the previous central area.

It was dark with a gray fog, but not so thick that visibility was impaired.

Elaga, who soon chewed Rosetta’s pill, spoke.

[I think there’s about a third of the way left.]

I’m heading to where I used to live, but why do I feel increasingly uncomfortable?

I don’t think this feeling will go away until I defeat the devil.

Elaga looked back towards the carriage without thinking and screamed.

[Ouch!]

“What’s going on?”

“Elaga!”

They all drew their swords and stood on alert, and were able to clearly see Elaga’s face.

At once, several people’s expressions twitched.

Elaga’s hair was curled comically on top of her head.

The ends of his handsome beard also shriveled up.

It was as if a fireball had passed over his head.

Elaga screamed when she saw her reflection clearly reflected in the metallic carriage.

The culprit was well known.

Elaga looked at Area with fierce eyes.

It probably wasn’t Heike’s fault for using freezing magic.

[Area What on earth is this?]

“The magic grazed my hair.”

Area, who cast an electric magic, answered calmly.

Elaga growled.

[Why are you targeting me! You stupid wizard!]

“I didn’t hit it, it was the effect of the lightning. And it’s not true that I’m stupid.”

As the electric magic shot out, it burned the air and even destroyed Elaga’s fur.

Because it could interfere with magic, Elaga at the front killed as much magic as possible.

In return for his active cooperation, he received damage to his forehead hair.

His majestic appearance was gone, and his face, speckled with burnt hair here and there, was more funny than ugly.

[How dare you touch my golden hair!]

“It will grow back over time.”

[Would you still say that even if I burned your hair?]

Area, who had secretly touched her hair, then spoke.

“sorry.”

[If you’re sorry, that’s all!]

It’s not even an apology tone at all. Area said seriously.

“I’ll compensate you later.”

Elaga quickly turned her head. Heartbroken, he let out a long roar.

Wow!

Elaga’s front paws dug into the ground fiercely.

As he was engulfed in strong emotions, the Demon King’s control slipped away by a month. In a way, it was a good thing.

Helmut hinted at Elaga.

“You can burn my hair.”

Area’s head won’t work, but you can compensate with your own head.

Elaga responded fiercely.

[When this is over, I will burn your head on your female’s behalf until the flesh is exposed!]

Helmut had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at the sound filled with desperate anger and resentment. While gently stroking my hair. He didn’t want to go bald either.

“What’s next?”

Asuka asked.

There was no one who could answer that.

* * *

The road to the center of the central region was long and difficult.

A constant battle took place after easily reaching the central area.

No matter how much recovery magic was used, it was impossible to restore the consumed power.

Everyone was a little tired. The only consolation is that there are no victims.

Fortunately, after passing the second barrier, the number of monsters decreased significantly.

The ones that came at me from time to time, as if they had entered another world, had a strange appearance unlike anything I had ever seen before.

“It looks like it was crushed and reassembled.”

Even Helmut, who lived in the Forest of Pahe, was unfamiliar enough to say that.

Monsters themselves are beings that have been transformed from animals and plants into demons.

Even though it has a strange appearance, it has an appearance that can be traced back to its original form.

Just as a rabbit with long, sharp teeth like a leopard is ultimately a rabbit.

But the new ones that appeared were different.

A huge one-eyed monster with no trace of its original form, or a circular monster with numerous eyes on a crushed body.

However, I guess I wasn’t used to my body, so I would stumble or hit strange places.

When Elaga struck the people blocking her path in an unpleasant way, they bounced off without much resistance and rolled on the floor.

[It’s fast and strong, but it feels like something’s out of sync.]

“I feel like a chimera who failed a magic experiment.”

Area, who had recovered some of her magic, muttered.

One thing was certain. They were getting closer to the demon world.

It is unknown whether it is a creature from the demon world or whether the appearance of existing monsters has changed under the influence of the demon world.

“They might be the ones who came out from the entrance to the demon world.”

It may be that he changed that way as a result of breaking through resistance and entering this world.

Sian developed a hypothesis. Then Area refuted.

“If the demonic world had been opened enough for matter to pass through, the sacred barrier would have already been broken. “Even a thousand years ago, there were no creatures from the demon world.”

“It probably means that crossing the border between worlds is only possible with intangible power and will.”

Heike said with serious eyes.

As if they weren’t wizards, when a new research task was assigned, they started discussing it right away.

Elaga suddenly spoke.

[Be more nervous than that. Because it won’t be long. If we go at this speed, we will arrive in three hours.]

Due to the group’s fierce opposition, Elaga did not jump up and down like before, but was running on all fours.

Still, it was pretty fast. Similar to the speed of Baharek who was pulling the carriage earlier.

“Luckily, I will be able to regain my strength and fight back.”

Asuka collapsed on the floor of the carriage.

There was no place in my body that was not painful.

High Priest Levina stretched out her hand and gave him a blessing.

Holy magic is friendlier to humans than any other magic. I quickly felt refreshed.

Levina spoke softly to Asuka.

“It would not have been easy for a member of the royal family to volunteer for such a difficult task, but this is amazing.”

“Oh well… the same goes for you, High Priest.”

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so is the High Priest a friend now? That doesn’t seem to be the case.

Asuka responded with an awkward expression.

“It’s a bit easy here, isn’t it? “It seems like there are a lot of proper guards stationed only outside.”

Seogeng!

Luke Yeager muttered as he cut down a giant caterpillar that was crawling past and sticking its head out over a carriage.

Since the appearance of monsters had subsided, two people had decided to stand guard and take turns resting.

“This might be the border too.”

Helmut, who was standing guard with him, answered.

Even between the first and second barriers, they experienced a brief lull.

If so, they will encounter another barrier near the destination. This barrier will be harder than before.

However, it was natural that defeating the Demon King was difficult.

Just riding a carriage in the forest of Pahe was luxurious enough.

And time passed quickly.
