came out to the city

Just in case, I brought cotton, put on simple armaments, and put on a robe over it.

“Where are you going?”

“Drink.”

“Do you want to drink?”

The driver passed me and looked behind me with sullen eyes.

Behind me was the third prince wearing a robe like me.

The knights looked at him disapprovingly as he smiled at what was so good.

“Aren’t you going to bring an escort driver?”

“You know me well. But this one is a bit worrying.”

“So do i. Bocchan, if you hit me wherever you go, I’ll hit you, but it doesn’t matter because you’re not the one who gets hit. After all, the prince is different.”

“this… .”

I let out a smile at the knight’s playful words.

A lot has improved since the beginning.

He looked at me and didn’t despise me like he used to.

Rather, there were those who looked at me favorably by the appearances I showed.

The knight in front of me was one of them.

A person who looks at me now, leaving behind the fact that I was an incompetent madman in the past.

That’s why you can play pranks on me like this now.

If you still can’t get away from the past, if you looked at me as a bad guy, you can’t approach me in a friendly way.

“Well, since the Bocchan is with you, there won’t be any danger.”

The knight shrugged and moved away.

He waved his hand as he walked down the paved path.

I heard the voice of the driver telling me to have a good trip from behind.

“Huh, heh heh.”

The 3rd Prince, heading towards the forest, was humming a song that made him so excited.

-Human, your mana has become thicker than yesterday.

Unlike the happy 3rd Prince, Hatchling and I were serious.

The closer I got to the forest, the more I could feel what Hatchling was talking about.

‘It’s the first time I’ve felt uneasy about mana.’

The mana seen in the forest far away made me feel like I was watching a D-level horror movie.

It wasn’t like he could smell the color or scent of mana.

It just felt like that.

The shimmering of mana that seemed opaque made me feel uneasy just by looking at it.

– It continues to grow!

Seeing that mana, Hatchling was very excited.

As Hatchling said, mana was wriggling ominously and the amount was increasing.

“I will give you one last chance here. Go back.”

“No! Why do you keep sending me away? Is there something here that I shouldn’t know about?”

The third prince hardened his face and shook his head as if he couldn’t do that.

I gave up talking to him any more.

What can I say that he won’t do it?

“All right. You won’t regret it.”

“Yes.”

With a determined face, he nodded.

I let out a small sigh and entered the forest with him.

“… !”

As soon as I entered the forest, mana weighed heavily on my body.

Watery cotton? That wasn’t enough.

It felt like several sacks of rice were placed on my shoulders.

Each step became as heavy as a thousand pounds.

It’s like this from the beginning, but I was worried about how bad the inside would be.

‘I think I should talk to the count.’

How long has it been since the raid happened that this kind of thing will happen again?

There must be something in this forest. Otherwise, nothing could have happened in this forest.

“Well… Raymond, this… .”

The dull and dull 3rd prince looked back at me with a sunken face, perhaps feeling the mana.

There was nothing I could do to see me.

Because I was in the same situation.

– Human, are you okay? i help

Faaat-

In an instant, my body felt lighter.

He was more energetic than before being crushed by Mana.

It is also hatchling.

Without any special chanting, he pushed back the ominous mana that was trying to strangle his body with his own mana.

Even though he was taking care of me and the entire third prince, Hatchling seemed to be overflowing with mana.

It would take at least 6 mana or more to push this much mana away.

‘Is a dragon a dragon?’

It is said that adult mana is like the sea and feels infinite, but perhaps because Hatchling is also a dragon, the amount and quality of mana was overwhelming.

When I thought of Ahar taking such hatchling talent, I felt goosebumps all over my body.

“Maybe this is why the forest is like this, it looks like a dead forest without life.”

Perhaps because of the mana, it seemed that he had been wandering around for quite a while, but even small animals such as rabbits and squirrels, let alone monsters, could not see a strand of hair.

No, leaving everything, the forest itself was too ominous.

I felt as if someone was watching me, and I also felt that something was hovering around me.

But even when I turned my head and looked, the forest was a forest.

There were no other changes or creatures.

– Humans are in big trouble!

After walking for a long time, Hatchling suddenly stopped and said in embarrassment.

“What.”

– Lost!

What kind of joke is this again?

For a hatchling to get lost, that doesn’t make sense.

A dragon is a being that does not forget.

There was no way that a being who could remember anything he had seen once would not be able to remember the geography of the forest he had entered many times.

It might be new, but it didn’t make sense for a hatchling to get lost in a familiar place.

‘wait for a sec. There’s something really strange about it.’

Even if the hatchlings got lost, it didn’t matter.

I also came here several times and knew the way to some extent.

But the forest that came into my sight now was the first place I had ever seen in my life.

I wondered if there was such a place in the forest in the first place.

wriggling wriggling.

Then I saw something moving.

It was moving, but I couldn’t figure out what was moving.

-Human Danger call that man

Hatchling showed this with rare vigilance.

The hatchling stared into the air and started growling, feeling that things were taking an unusual turn.

Hatchling, who sits down for almost anything, was nervous.

“His Highness Baan. Hide behind me.”

“Ah, I see.”

He must have sensed that the atmosphere was unusual, so he hurried over and hid behind my back.

Sureureung.

Was the sound of nameless being picked originally this loud?

Useless thoughts filled my head.

‘I was nervous?’

The hand holding the cotton was sweaty and the handle was wet.

It wasn’t just the hand. His back and joints were wet with sweat, and chicken meat was sprouting.

‘what? What.’

What the hell is making me so nervous?

Is this what it feels like to face an invisible enemy?

I felt like I could understand a little bit of Ahar’s feelings while dealing with Mahol.

There must be something around, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.

‘It’s just trees… .’

tree, tree tree tree.

There were only trees all around.

However, the appearance of the trees was a little unique.

It was a bony tree whose leaves had fallen out of harmony with autumn.

I didn’t feel any vitality at all, so I felt like I was dead.

-Humans, enemies!

As I was looking around, I heard Hatchling’s urgent voice.

At the same time, an alarm bell went off in my head and my body moved on its own.

Kwajijik!

Cotton cut off a long, sharp branch.

‘branch?’

It was none other than the tree that attacked me.

uh uh uh-

Starting with attacking me, the trees revealed their true nature.

Those who looked like ordinary winter trees now have faces.

A demon-like face appeared, and they glared at me with ferocious eyes.

‘The first monster I’ve ever seen… .’

It’s the first monster I’ve ever seen.

But on the contrary, it was also a monster I knew.

‘That guy is an undead… Why are you here?’

There was only one case where a dead tree became a living monster.

It became undead.

plant undead.

Their appearance was also surprising, but I was taken aback by the other side.

‘These guys need a caster… .’

Warlocks who summon the undead were the target of massacre on the continent.

So, I heard that it was hit almost to extinction and the range of action was very narrow.

But why are warlocks running around here?

You probably don’t know that this is the territory of Millennium, the great mage.

‘Could this be related to the Empire again?’

It could be.

No, most likely.

Most of those who have attacked Millennium so far have been related to the Empire.

It wasn’t surprising that a warlock was added now.

If I had to be surprised, it was surprising that they acted so boldly.

The Warlock Slaughter Order is still not over.

The hunters, blinded by performance and money, were still wandering around with their eyes open in search of a warlock.

In the midst of that, doing something like this in a famous magic house that would have been discovered was tantamount to shouting, ‘Catch me and kill me!’

Kwajik, Kwajik!

I glanced back at the 3rd prince, bouncing off branches that flew like arrows.

He was staring blankly at me with his sword drawn.

From his hand holding the sword to his shoulder, there was no place where he did not tremble.

I was stunned by the sudden situation.

‘Should I be satisfied with not running away?’

I couldn’t fight while taking care of him.

It would have been better to just stand there and be still.

Whoa!

At least if you stay there, Hatchling’s Barrier will protect you like now.

Tuong, Tuong!

A few tree undead clung to the 3rd prince and were wildly swinging tree branches.

The branch was blocked by the golden membrane and bounced in vain.

‘I can fight in peace.’

The burden of being the 3rd prince was relieved.

In addition, there is a reliable ally called Hatchling.

“I never thought I would catch the undead… .”

Wearing an aura on his cotton, he scanned the tree undead.

seven.

A total of seven wooden undead surrounded me.

Those who were attacking the 3rd prince also joined us.

I seemed to be an easier prey to catch than the 3rd prince, who was protected by a golden shield.

“I wonder how your hands taste.”

Kieeck!

As soon as I finished my words, the tree undead screamed and charged.

I twisted my back and swung the cotton, avoiding the branch.

Kwajijik.

Perhaps because it is a rotten tree, it was broken rather than cut.

Does not matter. Because all you have to do is kill

‘Come to think of it, I heard that the undead are vulnerable to fire.’

It would be nice if I could put a sword on the nameless, but couldn’t Hatchling enchant my sword like Beatrice did for me then?

– Why is that?

I looked at the hatchling and shook my head.

3 princes were taken.

It was difficult to avoid his suspicions even with the protection of the golden curtain.

First of all, we need to get rid of these guys as quickly as possible and make sure he doesn’t go crazy.

Quadduk!

Nameless passed through the center of the tree undead.

The rotten pieces of wood splattered in all directions.

Kieeck!

Enraged at the death of a colleague, the guys came running more wildly.

Instead of avoiding it, I burrowed into it and swung the cotton.

Kwajik, quad deuk!

Fragments bounced in all directions, and the screams of the tree undead echoed through the forest.

“It’s not that difficult to deal with.”

It was difficult because it was my first time dealing with it, but it wasn’t a very strong monster.

I brushed off the wood chips from my clothes.

Kiek!

“What, are you alive?”

Quadduk.

The tree undead also had a core.

If you step on that core, you won’t be able to use your strength like now and die.

Having dealt with all the tree undead, I returned to where the 3rd prince was.
