The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 289

Episode 289

Hwiiiiing.

A cool wind passed through the barren old trees.

And then, a group of people appeared through the translucent green gate that appeared on the side of the old tree.

Ta-tat.

As soon as they set foot on the ground, they jumped out in all directions and formed a sort of formation, carefully scanning their surroundings.

“no problem. “There doesn’t seem to be anyone around that looks like an enemy.”

Kane, who had already climbed to the top of a nearby old tree, bowed to Raoul and reported.

“I guess so. “Anyway, it’s very different from what you thought?”

Compared to the tremendous energy felt outside, the inside was ordinary.

If it weren’t for the gate fluttering behind his back, the quality of the air and mana weren’t much different from the elemental jungle.

but.

“Why is it so desolate?”

The trees lost their vitality and became dead, and all the plants withered.

Considering the dense mana flowing in the air, it was a slightly strange scene.

“…Everyone ready for battle!”

And there were enemies who came out to greet Raoul and his group.

Wow.

Gurgling!

Dark shapes that echoed in the ears were approaching, filling up the desolate forest of old trees.

‘It’s an extremely dark energy. ‘If it’s not dark magic, what is it?’

My curiosity was quickly resolved.

Because the shapes of the things running were quite familiar.

“government ordinance…? But the feeling.”

Jake tilted his head and Raoul immediately recognized their identity.

Dark spirit.

It was a polluted spirit that had been consumed by the energy of darkness, lost its reason, and moved only toward destruction.

“Don’t hesitate to attack! “They can no longer be called spirits!”

At Ravel’s words, everyone drew their swords and dealt with the approaching dark spirits.

However, there were so many of them that there was no end to cutting them down…

It seemed as if the entire surrounding area was covered with these dark spirits.

“What a waste of time. I need to find out where they came from first. Everyone, follow me!”

Clap la la rock!

While the army of weapons appeared and cleared out the surrounding dark spirits, Raoul kicked off the old tree and jumped into the air.

Raoul, who created a telekinetic platform and ascended into the air with his companions, expanded his senses for a moment and checked his surroundings.

As we went up, the overall topography of the inside of the gate was revealed.

A large square-shaped forest.

The edge was surrounded by black, dark cliffs like those of the bottomless pit.

‘Is that…?’

And far to the north, there was a strange terrain that caught the eye.

A round hill that looks like a huge burial mound.

Covered with various flowers and vines, the only place inside this barren gate had any color.

Duuuung.

And a weak wave of mana coming from there.

Because the distance was so far, it felt subtle, but in reality, it seemed like an enormous amount of mana was colliding.

“Raul, that’s there! “That is a defensive barrier called [Spirit Beast’s Nest] deployed by our fairy race!”

Ravel’s voice contained a variety of emotions.

The anticipation that one’s own people may still be alive.

Worry about being attacked.

And even anger.

Raoul wasted no time in maintaining his telekinetic foothold and began moving toward the north.

The speed wasn’t as fast as I thought, but it was better than moving to the ground where the dark spirits were bubbling.

Sugak seokkeong!

While the armies of weapons cut down and provided cover for the flying hordes of dark spirits, they looked around and headed north.

Meanwhile, Pierce’s urgent voice was heard.

“Master, look over there!”

There was a tree twice as big as the other old trees standing where he pointed, but it felt different.

Although the old trees on the ground were covered in dark spirits, it was difficult to recognize their shapes.

‘The energy of darkness is much more concentrated. And strangely, the density of spirits is high.’

I was in a hurry, but Ravel nodded so I slightly turned in that direction.

-Oh, it hurts.

-Someone please help me.

-I’d rather die…

Thoughts began to flow into my head.

Raoul shouted as Ravel’s face became pale and his breathing became unstable.

“Everyone follow along!”

With Chara!

Phantom wings spread and Raoul flew towards there as if exploding.

Wow! Pubububung!

The storm of mana blades and telekinetic power sent flying away swept away the dark spirits clinging to the tree.

“this!”

Raoul frowned at the sight revealed and hurriedly ran to the tree.

All over the beautiful tree, which was probably 20 meters tall, there were tiny fairies stuck on stakes and bleeding.

The energy of darkness and despair was converging in the hole of the ‘polluted spirit water’ filled with blood, and dark spirits were emerging.

“How can you do something so cruel!”

While Ravel was crying and shaking, Raoul carefully used his telekinesis to pull out the stake and save the fairies.

‘The condition is very critical!’

The fairies, whose wings were all torn off and several holes in their bodies, barely survived.

It seemed like some kind of witchcraft had kept them alive.

“Ravel, come to your senses! “I need your strength!”

Raoul poured a special potion, but it seemed like some kind of magic was blocking the potion from working.

If Raoul forcibly broke the spell, the lives of the fairies might be in immediate danger.

“Hmm.”

Ravel stopped crying and caught his breath.

After checking the status of the fairies, she wiggled her eyebrows and opened the skill encyclopedia.

Faaat.

Her wings radiated light and powder covered the fairies’ bodies.

Then, disgusting red chains surrounding their bodies were revealed.

“How dare you use this trick!”

As pure white energy spewed out from Ravel’s hand, the red chain disappeared into thin air as if melting snow, and Nakia’s special recovery potion that Raoul had sprayed flowed into the bodies of the fairies.

At the same time, Ravel’s recovery magic covered the fairies’ bodies, and Raoul also expressed an aura of brilliance and enveloped them.

“Queen…?”

One fairy barely lifted her heavy eyelids and spoke with difficulty as she looked at the label.

“iced coffee…!”

Ravel couldn’t bear to open his mouth and shed tears.

“Please save the children of my people…”

And with those words, the fairy, who had barely opened her eyes, lost consciousness again.

A small teardrop belatedly flowed from the fairy’s eyes.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Meanwhile, Raoul completely uprooted the contaminated spirit tree.

The huge tree floating in the air was torn into small pieces by Raoul’s weapon corps, and soon burned to ashes and was swept away by the wind.

“Davidson. I will entrust these fairies with their protection. “Keep them safe so they don’t get shocked.”

“Of course Master! “I will protect you so that not a single hair gets hurt.”

Davidson said, putting a large box on his back that he had prepared in case something like this happened.

The partition box specially made from the monster’s shell had various protection magics and even space expansion magic attached to it.

This box, which Ravel created with great care, was enough to protect ten fairies.

“How about dividing Master’s group?”

Kane, who looked around for a moment, made a suggestion.

“I think there are about ten more such contaminated spirit trees. “Wouldn’t it be necessary to form a separate team to save the fairies and reduce the number of dark spirits?”

Clearly, after the contaminated spirit water disappeared, the momentum of the surrounding dark spirits weakened.

“I will do that. For Kane and Sir Davidson MacNeillan to move separately. “Guide the follow-up team while cleaning up the contaminated spirit water, and in case of emergency, evacuate the rescued fairies first.”

“Yes Master.”

Although the inside of the gate was infested with dark spirits, they would not be able to block the three of them.

Moreover, if Kane had already observed enough contaminated spirit water, it wouldn’t take long to find them.

“Here we go again!”

Raoul shouted, looking north with burning eyes.

Sooner or later, we would be able to see for ourselves who the culprit behind this tragedy was.

* * *

“…huh? what? “What are you fussing about now?”

terup.

“Turn it off!”

The imperial knight, whose face was caught in his grasp, struggled and grabbed the other person’s arm.

Crunchy. dump.

Wiping off the blood and brain fluid from his hands, Imperial Demon Commander Hielrik Denver looked at the several masters standing in front of him.

He felt that it was meant to reprimand the imperial masters who had run away.

“I had no choice. “The number of Auror blades we checked exceeded ten, and he was among them.”

“That guy?”

“Count Raoul. Recently designated as a person of interest…”

Sigh.

One of the masters who opened his mouth was hit with a fist and fell to the floor.

“No matter what, you ran away without even thinking about holding on? And yet you can say that you are His Majesty’s faithful subjects!”

The three masters who had escaped at Hiellik’s shout fell silent.

‘It’s all because you were into playing with fairies!’

‘What are you going to do with us after dragging more than half of the advanced forces into the gate?’

‘Fuck you. Then just search there?’

It was not because I had nothing to say, but because making excuses would only lead to violence.

“That aside, are the guys who were scouting assholes? I can’t believe you didn’t even notice until the Ruben Kingdom crawled in here! “It’s ridiculous.”

Hiellik was muttering like that, but he didn’t seem to be taking it seriously.

“I can’t help it. Gather everyone together. “First of all, I’ll have to rip off the head of this little boy named Raoul.”

“Yes sir!”

As expected, the number of imperial superhumans currently inside the gate was close to ten.

The knights had sufficient power and the magic power to study fairies and cast spells was considerable.

Above all, don’t you feel confident that you are ranked 5th among the empire’s horse generals?

‘It’s Raoul. ‘You said you saw Clinid on the battlefield last time, right?’

A foolish bastard who ran away without being able to deal with an old man in the kingdom.

Anyway, according to what he said, it still looked quite unripe.

‘I’ll make you pay for being fearless.’

Quagwagwang!

He shouted after striking the pesky spirit beast in front of him with his favorite halberd.

“Flies! Don’t think about running away, just stay hidden. “I’ll play again in a little while!”

Was it a mistake?

It seemed like the spirit beast was trembling.

* * *

‘That’s the place.’

[Spirit Beast’s Nest] clearly caught the eye of Raoul and his group as they crossed the forest on telekinetic scaffolding.

And at some point, the number of living spirit trees and trees, rather than old trees, began to increase.

More than anything.

‘This intense energy. ‘It’s a horse!’

It seemed like it was here too.

It would have been strange to build a fortress of that size in the elemental jungle without a magician in charge.

“Raul. I have something to say.”

Ravel spoke to Raoul, who was preparing for battle as he drew his sword.

“Imperial Horse Commander. “I want you to leave it to me.”

Raoul turned his head and looked her in the eyes.

Ravel’s red eyes were burning more than ever.

The culprit who committed cruel acts against her people.

It would be natural to want to condemn with your own hands.

Raoul was about to ask if it would be okay, but he just nodded.

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”

Raoul couldn’t easily guess what level of skill she actually had.

However, what is certain is that she has recently finished compiling the skill book and has become stronger than before.

I thought that if I had the power of the upgraded skill book and Raoul’s support, I would be able to deal with the magician.

More than anything, I wanted to respect her will.

‘Just in case, it’s enough to help.’

In any case, the enemy wasn’t just one demon general.

There were close to ten superhuman energies, and time was needed to sort out the advanced powers surrounding them.

“Everyone prepare for battle. We will crush the empire and save the fairies!”

The 10 masters of the First Knights, including Raoul, raised their Auror blades.
