67. Witch Heluram’s Legacy (3)

Rolling, rolling…

Round rocks touched the monster’s forepaws and were rolling. It was a cat that seemed to play naturally by repeatedly pushing and pulling with the tip of its fingernails, and often licking itself.

It seemed to be separated from the cat only by its huge body and the white leopard print that spread all over its black fur.

obviously.

Jin had never heard of a monster that looked like a cat. There are many monsters in the world, but a species that looks like a cat has never been reported in the academic world.

‘Take that thing down…? It looks more like a spirit creature than a monster.’

The monster still didn’t know that Jin was approaching.

Thanks to this, Jin was able to observe the monsters with a comfortable mind for a while, and soon realized that the thorns in this forest were the monsters’ food.

yikes yikes yikes!

When the monster gnawed the thorn tree like sugar cane, there was a loud noise.

After settling in this place, the monster has already lived by eating thorns for over a thousand years.

They ate a lot of thorns, and when flat ground was formed, they cut round rocks and played with them. Until a thorn tree grows in its place again. Just like this.

Shock! Susasak!

A boulder stuck in the ground jumped out of the forefoot that the monster swung lightly.

The rock was rounded before it fell to the ground and lost its original rugged shape. Soon after, the monster staring at the fallen rock let out a small cry as if satisfied.

‘I’ll have to be careful with my claws…’

He shook his head, recalling the claws that briefly appeared when he was cutting the rock. It was only natural to see sharp claws bent like rakes slicing rocks like radishes.

Can I approach you without being noticed?

As I was about to step away, the monster startled and looked around. Jin did not expect that the surprise attack would succeed anyway. It was because the miasma was so thick that I had to add Mandokju to keep the protective shield on.

The soft light of the aura shield stimulated the eyes of the monster. The monster’s gaze turned to Jin.

[Kyaaaaaa!]

A monster screaming as soon as our eyes met. It was about to make my ears go blank, but compared to the roar of the Myungwang clan, it was tolerable.

Brain energy gathered in Sigmund. The lightning strike was a great sword even when dealing with large monsters.

‘I wonder how strong he is… um?’

Fight against each other!

Suddenly, the monster turned around and started running towards the deeper forest. It was so fast that he couldn’t even think of catching it, so Jin only stared blankly at the spot where the monster had disappeared.

‘Are you running away? Are you afraid of me with that distracting size?’

Before the fight, I felt absurd.

‘No. Since you’ve met the Dark Knights once, have you become afraid of being human? The Dark Knights must have taken care of him in a way that subdued him without killing him before leaving the forest.’

For some reason, I felt sad. Apparently, he seems to be living peacefully alone in this forest, but he seems to be in the role of intruding out of nowhere and defeating monsters.

‘…Let’s chase it for now.’

Anyway, defeating monsters is a test given by my father and Vanessa. I couldn’t quit because I was pitiful.

And the feeling of feeling sorry for him completely disappeared as soon as the chase began.

Cuzzie, bang!

As soon as he followed the monster into the deep forest, his front paw flew in. With its huge body, the monster managed to hide itself by walking around among the thorns.

Its forepaws knocked down thorns like weeds, and it attacked Jin. Jin hurriedly lifted up Sigmund to block it, but he couldn’t help being thrown back.

Aiming at Jin who floated up, the forepaw flew again.

“Kuk!”

I couldn’t block it with my sword, so I hit the thunderbolt. The thunderbolt that poured out bounced off the front legs of the monster, and Jin was falling to the ground full of thorns.

Right before the fall, sword energy erupted in all directions. Even so, there were too many thorns, so I couldn’t avoid being stabbed and scratched all over my body, but thanks to Multa’s runes and black mantels, I was able to avoid fatal injuries.

And thanks to Mandokju, his life was saved. If it had not been for Mandokju, the deadly poison from the thorns would have been added to the miasma covering the forest, and it would have turned into a corpse.

That’s right from the start.

Jin stood up and let out a deep sigh. Arms and legs were torn in places and blood flowed, and the coat became tattered.

The poison seeped incessantly through the wounds, and it felt as if the whole body was on fire. Mandokju doesn’t mean the pain goes away.

The monster did not attack additionally and slowly disappeared into the deeper forest again.

‘Yeah… I was a little crazy. Feeling sorry for the monsters and feeling like I became a bad guy. As soon as he saw me, he seemed to have planned how to kill me.’

The monster didn’t run away. He was just trying to deal with Jin in a more efficient and safe way. It was like showing the best response without knowing the opponent’s strength.

On the other hand, Jin was fooled by the monster’s familiar appearance and was caught off guard.

No one has seen the unsightly appearance of being attacked, thrown, and covered in blood while chasing after a monster thoughtlessly, but I couldn’t tolerate myself.

The fact that it somehow reminded me of the huge butterfly Runkandel in that it had a white spot but the opponent was a black cat, and that I didn’t want to hurt it for some reason, were not grounds for consideration.

‘I’ll treat you properly.’

Hard!

Jin, who grieved at this, raised his mana.

I was going to summon Tess and start by burning down this damn thorn forest first. You have to run away in the forest and trees burn easily.

However, even after the summoning ceremony to open the flame system, the dimension gate did not open. It was the same no matter how many times I tried.

‘…After that, everything is a mess. I don’t think it’s because of the miasma, but I have enough mana. Could it be that this place also belongs to the dead world like Lapla Rosa?’

Tess cannot be summoned in the dead world. The fact that I learned while receiving training from the Myungwang brothers in Lapla Rosa.

Jin soon concluded that this forest was the same as Lapla Rosa.

It didn’t matter because it didn’t mean that the forest couldn’t be burned down without Tess. Soon, a new red flame gathered in Jin’s left hand.

flame jade.

The flame orb containing 7 stars of magic flew towards the dark thorny forest. As soon as the sphere touched the tree, it spread like a net and burned the entrance of the inner forest where the monster had fled.

Then, he chanted waves and winds in succession. When I was a cadet, when I saved Mesa, I remembered burning the forest like this.

However, the magic power of Jin then and now was incomparable. Even if it is the same wave and wind, the power of the wind is different.

Indeed, the forest became a sea of fire in an instant. Still not satisfied, Jin walked past the burning thorns and prepared the next flame jade.

Surprisingly, even in the flames that spread everywhere, the miasma did not burn at all. On the contrary, even the deadly poison the thorns harbored was mixed in the air, making it even more difficult to breathe.

It may not be a hindrance to the battle, but Jin judged that if it was a miasma that even he, who had Mandokju, could not handle, it would be too much for a monster.

“If you don’t come out right away, I’ll burn the whole forest down!”

Whether the monster understood it or not, he screamed with a loud voice filled with energy.

Throw the flame jade like that three times.

[Keying…]

Eventually, the monster raised the white flag. He trudged out of the flames with a shrunken cry.

‘Ha, a monster is a monster. It’s like… a face telling me not to do this.’

Facing the guy with his ears drooping and sadly squinting his eyes, I felt guilty again.

The now burning thorn tree was the monster’s home and its only food. Jin intuitively realized the fact when he saw the fiery forest and faced the whining monster.

I had no intention of repeating the same mistake. This time, too, if you’re not paying attention, he’ll jump at you to bite your neck or play tricks.

“Don’t pretend to be pitiful.”

The moment Jin said that, the monster’s eyes changed.

it doesn’t work

It was definitely those eyes. At the same time, Jin could feel that magic power was erupting from the eyes of the monster.

‘Magic!?’

It was a magic eye.

Of course, Jin didn’t mind the fact that monsters can use magic, so he couldn’t avoid the magical amber eyes.

Among the old dark-type magic, there were many ‘psychic’ magics that made the target crazy. The magic used by the monster was just like that, and Jin was already hallucinating.

It starts with the hallucination of being hacked to pieces with a dagger.

Even hallucinations showing the most depressing days of the previous life. In just one second, dozens of hallucinations were digging into Jin’s brain.

The monster smiled as he looked at Jin’s blank eyes. Jin, who was buried in hallucinations, did not see such a monster’s hateful smile.

Now, the monster should have approached, ruthlessly tore apart the shivering gin, subdued the flames burning the nest, and watched its corpse rot in the miasma of the forest.

[Miyaa …!]

The monster cried and lazy.

However, in the next moment, the monster had no choice but to tilt its head.

“I hate hallucinations.”

As a monster, something that was difficult to understand happened.

Clearly, Jin, who had been completely exposed to the demonic eye, regained his consciousness before he knew it, and his eyes were wide open.

Three mirages experienced in the Great Desert.

The faith he forged until he overcame them and arrived at Lapla Rosa and became a brother of the Myung Dynasty. It was absolute mental strength, not talent, that made Jin what he is today.

It was Jin who endured even the desert where the third mirage, Temar Runcandel, stood and swung his sword. The clumsy spirit world magic of monsters couldn’t work on Jin like that.

It broke the hallucination of the monster with will. It was as easy as breathing for him.

“One second. Should have ended it when I was hallucinating. And you seem to understand people for some reason… don’t you?”

This time Jin smiled. The monster stopped in the same walking posture and rolled its eyes with its fur bristling.

thump thump…!

Thorns engulfed in fire were falling. Within it, Sigmund once again radiated blue light.

Myungwangsword, 3 swords.

condemnation.

Without hesitation, Jin chose the sword.

“But I can’t understand what the monster is saying. You won’t know what to say, so shut up and swing your claws.”
