Joey Partran.

In the game Soul Academy, she is a character with the highest magic potential, and unlike her status as a duke’s daughter, she is a fellow NPC who is liked by users because she has many weaknesses.

A wizard who raised the blood pressure of many users because he had a hidden passive that had a certain probability of causing a catastrophic failure when doing something.

Still, I had no choice but to hire him in the end because he had the highest potential and versatility among the wizards that could be hired as a companion.

The person who stayed at my party the longest when I was behind the monitor.

I have no doubt that I was lucky to have become friends with Joey.

I’m not just saying this because I was able to become friends with my favorite person in the game.

At first, it may have started for that reason, but over time, Joey became a real friend to me.

Despite his scary appearance, he is timid.

I get angry easily when I’m teased.

However, I can’t really complain, so I get over it quickly.

Whenever I eat something really delicious, I put on a goofy smile that doesn’t suit my face.

She made stupid mistakes and complained, but before I knew it, she had become someone I had to protect.

It’s not that other friends aren’t important.

It doesn’t change the fact that everyone is a precious relationship to me.

But strangely enough, whenever I saw Joy, I remembered her collapsing in front of the dungeon and it made me even more worried.

Maybe because the scene at that time never left my mind, I only looked at Joy as someone who needed to be protected.

Not as the best wizard at Soul Academy, but as my weak, weak friend.

Joy’s magic spreads throughout the cavity.

Her magic, which erases false truths and reveals hidden truths, seemed sloppy even to me who didn’t know much about magic, but that made it all the more surprising.

Because of that sloppiness, he achieved a feat that even I and Fabi could not have imagined.

Leaving behind my grandfather’s exclamation, I take in the changing scenery of the world.

You encounter a world you have never seen before in games.

– T-ring

[Joy Partran’s favorability rating exceeds 85.]

[She trusts you completely!]

[Your relationship with Joey Partran deepens.]

[The warrior’s soul guides her to a miracle.]

While I was reading the messages that were pouring in, I made eye contact with Joy who raised her head with difficulty.

It wasn’t until I faced Joy, who was smiling awkwardly, that I realized that I was laughing.

“If you can do something like this, why have you been so stupid all this time? Did the main character get sick? Idiot Joey?!”

Joey completely trusts me?

haha. okay. Then there is nothing we can do.

Joy, who believes in me, showed me this, but I, standing in the front, showed my clumsy side and it made me look like a complete slouch.

“You are talking nonsense. Do you think I can’t handle something like this?”

“I can’t do it♡ You idiot♡”

He blocks Joey’s path and glares at the alchemist. I make his eyes turn towards me.

Then, as if they had been waiting, my friends stood next to me.

Fabi.

Arthur.

Frey.

Joey.

Hold on to each weapon and look ahead.

In the past, when I stood in front of the alchemist, I was alone.

I had to stop this disaster alone that I thought I could not fight against.

Not anymore.

I am not alone.

It’s okay to not have to do everything alone.

“Do you struggle?”

“Stop talking nonsense and get ready to get kicked♡ You idiot who can’t do anything without the help of idiots♡”

I catch my breath. The divinity contained in the shield is collected and a sphere of divinity is created centered on the heart.

The warmth that is trying to spread from within the body to the outside is collected inside the body.

And pray.

It’s not like I’m asking the Lord for something.

Give whatever you can for the apostles who work for you.

If you’re going to be giggling like an unemployed person up there, do something.

So that your Apostle can move forward. So that we can be at the forefront of victory. So that I can crush those bastards’ faces.

Bless you.

[The spirit of a hero adds strength to your steps.]

[Blessings are given to you who walk the path of sainthood.]

[The goddess’s blessing instills confidence in your movements.]

A feeling of exhilaration that envelops the entire body.

Confidence that you will not fail.

The belief that no matter what trials come our way, we can overcome them.

I raise the corners of my mouth and look at the tree, holding my shield forward.

A giant tree that protects the forest.

A person who gained wisdom over a long period of time and was selected as the owner of the forest.

An enemy that attacks us now, having lost its mind by the power of the void and been remodeled by the alchemist.

As I thought about how to provoke that person, I quickly came to a conclusion.

After verifying the words that came to mind by identifying their weaknesses, I grinned while looking into the red eyes of the tree whose reason had been blown away.

“Wow♡ Look at the rotted roots♡ It’s pitiful♡ I’ve never been able to use it properly, so I won’t be able to use it in the future either♡”

The Giant’s Tree is a variety born in the forest.

It is something that was originally not supposed to grow there, but grew through some miracle.

Because they were different species from the beginning, the giant tree protected the forest for a long time but left no descendants there.

To put it in human terms, it’s a virginity that’s been around for hundreds of years.

“Umm♡ If you think about it carefully, doesn’t it make much of a difference even if it rots?♡ I haven’t been able to use it yet, but nothing will change as time passes, right?♡ Maybe it would be more honorable for it to rot?♡”

– Big!

The giant tree, which had been standing still and threatening us only through its roots, lunges towards me with a thumping sound.

The charge of that guy, who was overwhelmingly tall even among the trees, certainly looked threatening, but I wasn’t scared at all.

Unless you can cover up your actions with lies.

Lee Sang has lost his senses and is waving his arms around recklessly.

Because that guy can’t escape the knowledge of rotten water.

The tree raises its arms.

A living battering ram swings towards me.

Not yet.

Just wait a little longer.

That arm reaches the top and then comes down.

now.

Taean!

The battering ram bounces into the distance with a refreshing sound indicating that the parry was successful.

Just because I’m me doesn’t mean I’m fine.

The power of the giant’s tree is capable of collapsing castle walls, so even if you succeed in parrying it, you will inevitably be pushed back to some extent.

If I had been alone, it would have been a very difficult situation.

If I were alone.

“Burn up!”

The flame fired by Arthur lands on the tree’s face, taking away its sight.

“I should have brought an axe.”

The sword Frey swings leaves a large mark on the tree.

At that time, the giant tree came to its senses and tried to attack Frey by swinging its roots, but the wind created by Joey cut off the tree’s roots.

Frey, who saw him, took a step back after inflicting one more wound.

“Cheeky things!”

The alchemist, perhaps embarrassed by this war situation, tried to provide support through his black magic.

“Which one does not know the topic?”

The purifying energy created by Fabi blocks him. Standing on the exact opposite side of the evil god’s followers.

Denial could not do its best in the face of the divinity of a saint who became the truth at the end of a lie, so the alchemist was busy trying to stop the divinity from approaching him.

– Big!

Did he just realize that he couldn’t win by dividing his total and rushing in blindly?

The giant tree is trying to plant its roots again.

But I didn’t allow it.

“Are you giving up right away once you’ve been pushed out?♡ You really have no guts♡ Well, I guess that means you’re still a virgin♡”

-…

“I live like that all my life♡ Other trees too. Birds too. Bugs too. It remains a tree that everyone hates and is stuck somewhere♡ In some ways, it’s a good thing♡ The world can become more beautiful because your inferior seeds won’t spread♡”

The tree with my eyes turned towards me again.

It only rushes towards me.

It only attacks me.

I hit my fist.

I bounced it off with my shield and created a gap.

It swings its roots and tries to tie me up.

I avoided it with movement and at the same time, I disrupted its movement by gently scratching it.

Throw away rotten fruit.

After blocking it with divinity, he laughed and said that the smell of virginity was terrible. The tree rushes in again.

I didn’t always make the best moves along the way.

As I struggled to withstand the shock, my movements became chaotic, leaving small scratches and the shock accumulating on my body, but I did not lose my composure.

Because there is no need to attack the opponent.

It’s okay if the mace hidden behind the shield remains only a threat.

It was so convenient to be able to focus only on defense and provocation.

As I was thinking that, I saw the giant’s tree behind the shield and ran forward.

My goal is to subdue it.

I don’t know if the owner of the forest can return to his original state or not, but I have no intention of giving up on saving myself.

So, as I ran, I made the mace smaller and put it in my pocket.

The movement of the tree, which had accumulated wounds during the continuous attack, was slower than when I first saw it.

So much so that he couldn’t even swing his arm when he saw me running right in front of him.

Facing the red eyes of the tree, I jumped into the air and filled my empty hands with divinity.

The divinity of the main deity that does not allow negation. The energy of the sun that chases away darkness.

When he hit the tree’s face with a fist full of it, the tree’s large body rose slightly into the air and then fell to the ground.

The tree, which had been twitching for a moment, could not stand up as if it no longer had the energy to move.

“It was great! Lady Aln! He looked so noble and strong!”

As I was looking at me with concern, hoping that the tree was alive and well, the perverted apostle who came next to me let out a voice filled with admiration.

Ignoring the nonsense he was talking about, I looked at the place where the bear was and saw the bear’s face stretched out.

The bear’s stomach was slowly moving up and down.

Did he subdue me as soon as the evil spirit’s power disappeared?

I don’t even know that guy’s pattern.

…If it weren’t for his disgusting appearance, he would be a true apostle.

As I followed my grandfather’s words and raised my head, I saw the alchemist running away with tentacles exposed under his robe.

what. Are you running away because you feel like you’re going to lose?

When did you become so confident and now you want to live?

“Puhahahaha♡”

The moment I started laughing, the alchemist stopped moving.

“Is it because his dick rotted and fell apart?♡ Even a girl can’t do something like that♡”

I can see the alchemist looking at me from his slightly turned face.

“What are you doing?♡ Have you given up on running away?♡ You have finally realized that there is no answer to waddling around?♡”

“…”

“Then what do you want to do now?♡ Try anything♡ If you fight hard, I might at least listen to your will, right?♡ Ah~♡ No♡ Just search♡ If I smell your disgusting breath, I will suffocate to death♡”

“Fucking bitch!”

As I saw the alchemist rushing toward me, I held the mace in my hand again.

I don’t know about the other two forest owners.

You can hit that as much as you want, right?

right?
