episode_0036

The migration of migratory birds will not be on such a large scale.

There were even monsters the size of a colony.

They were flying, covering the entire sky.

“As you said, the power of the elves is definitely weakening.”

The arrow’s range has become shorter enough to be felt with the naked eye.

The overall formation of the monsters had also progressed towards the elves for a long time.

Old Paramon said as if he was troubled.

“It’s not usually a problem. Is it true that eliminating the necromancer will lift the curse?”

That varies depending on the time.

If it arrives in a timely manner, it is possible, but if it is delayed, you may have to remove the curse separately.

I wanted to convey this, but I couldn’t say it.

Because I was eating wind.

“Huh…!!”

I was dragged into the sky without any power to spread my spirit.

Have you ever felt like your throat is full?

I was forcing myself to breathe in air.

“Why are you talking…um? Right. Your body was weak…”

Regardless of my condition, we are flying through the sky.

Several flying monsters were seen approaching the wall erected by the elves.

Considering there aren’t any monsters that care about us yet, we might be able to break through with ease.

At that time, a loud shout came out of Old Man Paramon’s mouth.

A shout full of mana.

“Irene! The monster is about to fall!”

Jjiing –

One ear became deaf and I heard tinnitus.

It was a sound so loud that it could not be said to be a human voice.

Thanks to this, I received a lot of attention from monsters in the sky.

“Chris, there are more numbers than you think… I think we need to change our strategy.”

With a gesture of inspiration, the body rose vertically.

High in the sky, very high…

So much so that the flying monster becomes smaller.

“Let me explain in advance, no matter how much I am, it is impossible to use large-scale magic while using fly magic.”

“….?”

“Hehe.”

So how do you deal with those monsters?

At that time, Old Man Paramon grabbed my arms and stretched them left and right.

It was as if he was hugging me from behind.

“If you don’t want to die, stretch your body. I did it often when I was younger, but if I do it this way, I’ll fail a little later.”

“….?”

As soon as he said those words, his body began to fall to the floor.

The magic has been lifted.

Crazy old guys.

I heard old Paramon’s voice in my ear.

“This must be my first time falling from the sky.”

It was a very happy voice.

The falling speed gradually increased.

I thought it was faster than when it flew.

My cheeks were pushed to the left and right and it was difficult to breathe.

Hwiik –

As the ground got closer, I could feel the elves chopping up the already dead monsters.

Old man Closel closes his eyes and mutters something.

That’s when the gesture of inspiration stopped.

Flash –

A large bolt of lightning stirred among the monsters.

“Fly!”

If it had been just a little bit later, it would have hit the ground and turned into mush.

The body, which was resurfaced just in the nick of time, began to rise into the sky with increasing speed.

Now was the opportunity.

As I shook the bell, I surrounded my entire body with spiritual energy.

“Huh….”

“Shouldn’t you have done this sooner?”

“Did you give it time and fly? And if you’re going to drop it, tell me in advance…”

“It falls once more.”

The body fell to the floor again.

No matter how much a shaman has gone through hardships, why skydive without a parachute?

Flash!

Lightning brightened the sky once more and the body emerged.

Monsters were falling to the bottom of the rainwater.

There were charred monsters, and there were also monsters that were convulsing.

“Did you see it? If you can’t move your wings, you can’t fly.”

It wasn’t just stopping the wings from moving, it was killing the monster itself.

It is natural to fall when you die.

Sensing my absurd gaze, Old Man Closel came up with a lame excuse.

“When I was young, my level was so low that all I could do was paralyze it. It was right to do it this way at the time.”

Now I don’t know either.

These were inspirations that cannot be estimated with human common sense.

“Why are the dead monsters chopped up like that?”

I pointed to the elves who were far behind.

“You have to make it like that before being resurrected as an undead. It’s cumbersome, but it’s much easier that way.”

It was a more systematic battle than expected.

As proof of the elves’ long lives, they already knew very well how to deal with monsters.

But that’s it.

If the flying monsters ignore the elves and pass by, wouldn’t it break right through the World Tree?

When I looked back and thought about that, I realized that it was a useless thought.

Spirits in the shape of birds as big as monsters were tearing them apart.

“No matter how many monsters there are, they are no match for the elves. Of course, as long as the elves don’t get weaker.”

“I think this direction is right.”

The monsters were becoming more and more numerous.

The monsters that had just been flying towards the elves until now were coming in quite a group and chasing us.

To be precise, the state is surrounded on all sides by monsters.

These were monsters I had never seen before.

Monsters that look like they could easily eat people.

From human-looking harpies to giant monsters believed to be wyverns.

What’s even more surprising is that even though it’s surrounded like this, it doesn’t feel ominous.

The ominous feeling that was emerging now was all towards the distance.

“I guess I’ll have to paralyze it again with lightning.”

“…again?”

“Is there a problem?”

Falling from the sky isn’t scary.

It’s because I have a bad relationship with lightning.

“Um…”

A monster that had been attacking us passed overhead as its body fell.

“Don’t panic. This happens often when you fly in the sky.”

“…Getting eaten by a monster?”

“I haven’t experienced anything like that yet.”

Monsters were unable to make sharp turns like us.

Old Man Closel was taking advantage of this and was making his way through the monsters.

But even that has its limits when faced with large numbers.

Soon other monsters flew in front of us.

“Ramon!”

A hammer held in the hand of old Paramon.

It was swung with a clear aura.

Quang –

Patter –

One harpy just exploded.

Blood and flesh flying.

Kwaaaang –

The monsters running towards us all fell to the ground in the same way.

Wyvern was no exception.

Rather, the larger the size, the louder the explosion sound.

“The hammer certainly feels good.”

Even if you catch just one wyvern, the reputation of the mercenary group increases.

This means that it is a powerful monster.

Those beings were now being killed in droves.

” is nearby. ”

It was similar to the scenery I saw at the World Tree.

The elven forest seen in the distance was the same as what I saw then.

There will be necromancers on the mountain peak you can see now.

“If you go down, all nearby monsters will rush at you.”

There are already numerous flying monsters approaching nearby.

If we land on the ground, it is natural that the target of attack will be us.

Old Closel said, looking slightly troubled.

“There is a fairly high-level barrier in place. I think it will take some time to unlock. Is that okay?”

I can feel the barrier covering the mountain peak.

A mysterious flow surrounded that place.

Unlike what old Closel had made, it felt quite dirty.

Should we say that it is not a twisted act like inspiration, but rather a form of intimidation of nature?

“Please only block monsters.”

“It seems there is a way.”

rattle –

My senses calmed down.

rattle –

My mind rose to the sound of the bell.

The energy I felt around me and the mana surrounding me were clear.

Even though everything was clear, my mind was vague enough to be mysterious.

It’s still a feeling I can’t put into words.

Because even though it was me, it wasn’t me.

“Younggam, that’s the entrance.”

I could feel old Closel’s gaze looking at me in amazement at the sudden change in tone of voice.

“I understand.”

A place where the ground and trees cower in fear.

This was the beginning of the barrier.

The bodies of the young people touched the floor and made a sound.

It was a sound that only came from them.

Tuk –

Tuk-

“Hoo….”

“That’s what I did when I first met Chris. Even I couldn’t sense any presence.”

rattle –

Monsters flying in the sky were coming down towards us.

It was so ferocious that it seemed like it was going to bite at any moment.

“They are exploiting children who already can’t afford it.”

I made eye contact with the wyvern coming down.

He was the one with the most ferocious spirit.

Probably the leader of a group of wyverns.

Two vertically slit eyes.

The two eyes filled with ferocious power shook and went away to avoid me.

The wyvern, which was so huge, felt infinitely small and young.

rattle –

“Go away.”

I flinch.

The wyvern’s wings shook.

Was he a guy with quite a bit of spirituality?

It made a desperate cry, changed direction, and began to rise into the sky.

“Huh…”

“The life of a wizard is futile.”

For a moment, my mind became noisy.

It seemed like there was a conversation going on that I couldn’t understand.

And suddenly the old men appeared.

My appearance was also visible.

It was clear who the owner of the gaze was.

They were trees.

Suuu –

The trees were waving their branches, welcoming me.

At the same time, I was cowering because I was scared of something.

All the surrounding nature was in the same state.

“I’m sorry.”

It wasn’t my fault, so why am I so sorry?

When I spit out what I was feeling, those words came out.

I felt like they would listen to me now.

“Will you open the way?”

Ssss-

A black, dead land visible as space splits.

It was a place where a terrible stench emanated.

As soon as I took my steps, Old Man Closel’s murmurs passed my ears.

“…I feel like I’m seeing an elf.”

It was a word that made me feel infinitely welcome.
