Hunter of the Perished World

Wolves were fast, but they had to travel across Old Thailand and back a long way to the Malay Peninsula because they had to use the continent. And most of all, I had to cross the Mekong again, and I had to double down to the Crissac River across the river, so time was almost delayed.

There's no going back for the armored car.

I need to build a raft twice, but the journey was long enough to think about it on my way back.

During a short break, Ramfil asked the necessary questions.

“Where exactly are you going? ”

“Hunting worshippers prefer cities to forests, probably in the ruins of Kuala Lumpur in old Malaysia. ”

Leona doesn't understand what you're saying, but Ramsay is slightly darkened by the map data.

“That's far enough. ”

The road trip lightly jumped 2,000 kilometers. The hunter worshippers were not silent for a long time stockpiling war supplies. The distance between Twilight City and Kuala Lumpur was not that messy.

“Wouldn't it be better to go to the sea? ”

It was natural for the oceans to shorten the route from the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula to the Malay Peninsula across Tai Bay.

Jean shakes her head at Ramfil's words.

“Are you going to cross the sea on a raft? ”

Even if I had the right boat, Jin asked me to do ten times what I should think about. There was a child in the expression of wanting to die, but the choice of crossing the sea on a raft was absurd.

But Ramfil shakes his head and points at Leona.

“Leona might have some sharp moves, like riding a giant sea monster. ”

At that, Leona's cheeks, which she was eating quietly, became greasy. I kept thinking I wanted to be strong, but it was because Ramfil was strange and happy to tell me that he had a role like this.

“Well, I didn't think of that part. ”

Gene realizes that he only thought of Leona's power incidentally, but he wasn't considering the option to actively use her power at all.

“A large sea monster should be able to cross the sea enough. Of course, there's the premise that you have to be in control and control of that. ”

If that's possible, the entire voyage will be reduced to more than a fifth. Gene looks at Leona.

“It's worth a try. Even if it's not, it's worth it, because the journey's about 200 kilometers longer. Well, do you think you can do it? ”

Leona bites her lip slightly. Now that I have recognition, Leona has clearly been given her role. It's not like I've ever stepped foot in a fight with Jean. With Leona's power, the journey is clearly different and more comfortable.

At last, with the overwhelming feeling and joy of being recognized as a companion, Leona nods forcefully.

“I'll try! No, you won't! ”

Leona hangs a bottle of crystal bent powder from the crown like a necklace. If not, Leona was holding on to a way to make it work. Leona's neck bottle of Benpowdered water reflects a dazzling glow.

It was Leona's amulet, confidence and hope.

However, Gene's expression of looking at it was never comfortable. But Leona has been showing a sunny smile with no shade ever since the incident in New Hong Kong.

Leona is happy.

Maybe that's it.

The plan had changed, and they were looking for a way to cross the Gulf of Taiwan to the southernmost tip of the Indian Peninsula, not the Malay Peninsula. If Leona could rule a sea monster big enough to ride, the voyage would have been a viable attempt to diminish considerably.

They remained unaware of what was happening, and the swift and agile wolf was able to run through the forest and reach the southernmost shore of the Indochina Peninsula as soon as possible.

“The sea! Hmm? But it's a bit... Strange.”

Leona cries out, looking out at the open sea, then tilts her head. It was a once-in-a-lifetime landscape, so Leona lit up her eyes. Obviously, the beach that lay ahead was a distinct landscape from other beaches.

The densely mixed landscape of mangroves rooted in the sea water still gives a strange landscape that seems to continue to be swept away even after the sea is over. Across this mangrove forest lies a truly vast ocean.

“Is this how the ocean works? ”

Rampil also asked Gin, looking at the strange landscape because he had never seen the sea before.

“It's because of the tropics. It's not like this everywhere. ”

Of course, Ramfil had never seen the sea where the white sand was. So even though Gene explained about the sea, there was nothing better than stuttering on a blind elephant.

They reach the edge of the land, and the gene descends from the wolf. The flares are circling around Leona's body, and they're sticking one by one to the side of Gin and Ramfil, throwing sparks around her.

“Lots of mosquitoes here, too. ”

Pow, pow, pow!

Gene sighs, gazing at the flares blazing incessantly around him. This bored forest was the mosquito's biggest enemy everywhere. Without Flaires, you would have clearly experienced stress at the level of Neurose.

“A beast that could burn us wouldn't live on this shore. We have to get out to sea first. ”

In the end, he had to get off the raft to some extent. Leona was able to handle some of the psychic powers, but she felt nothing yet. Eventually, they cut down the straightest trees of the crooked mangroves and built rafts.

Lamfil grunts as he weaves his vines silently. Nearby, mosquitoes were still swarming to death in hundreds of thousands.

“... I don't think it's a good idea. ”

Ramfil's face was soil, hard to say.

“The raft is a short ride anyway. ”

“I'm not talking about the raft. ”

“Then what is it? ”

“No, do you think it makes sense to walk across a place with nothing but water like that? ”

Jinn stared at Ramfil because he seemed to know what he was worried about.

“Beer bottle anxiety? ”

It was enough to be a fear of not being able to swim and looking at the vast ocean, but having to go out that way.

“It actually doesn't make any sense. ”

Ramfil didn't know it until he saw it, but he felt that his idea of crossing the vast expanse of water on a monster's back was not normal. Even though I said it.

Since it was the first Ramfil to see the sea today, it was probably natural to think about it. Instead, it was unusual for Leona to look forward to sailing with her eyes shining.

Without a straight tree, the raft was like a load of frozen wood, and when Ramfil saw the crude shape, he became more anxious.

“I urge you to take the road politely and seriously. ”

“What are you talking about? I don't want to waste it. ”

“Are you scared?”

Leona grimaces and asks, and Ramfil looks crumpled.

“It's not crunchy, it's logical and rational to point out that it's not very wise. What if the monster dies or tries to get into the water? ”

“You scared me.”

As Leona grinned and pointed, Ramsay calmly replied.

“I wasn't afraid. ”

“You look pale. You look scared. ”

“I said I wasn't scared. This method will never…. ”

Ramfil grips his teeth as he tries to say the same thing again. In fact, Ramfil was trembling with his fists. What Ramfil feels is not fear of death. Some have a hovering machine looking out at the ocean, but some see the abyss in the ocean.

So, Ramfil was just the latter. It was more of a fear of the abyss than of death. Ramfil clenches his fist as he sees Leona squirming in front of his eyes.

Exactly!

“Ow! It hurts! You barbarian!”

“Don't talk about it. ”

Ramfil stares at Leona with a sad look, and Ramfil doesn't want to admit he's afraid of just a little bit of water. Leona hurries to the Raft finishing her raft with a wooden figure.

“Mister! That barbarian hit me! ”

Jean sighs as she looks at Leona as if to say, "Beat her up!"

“Quite frankly, Leona and Ramfil. Don't be so frightened. ”

“I'm not scared! ”

“No, you're obviously scared. ”

Gene felt like he had two kids who weren't even there. Needless to say, Lena had a tendency to roast like a child from time to time. A Lamphil who lived as a soldier and now abandons his army. Therefore, it was possible that Ramfil's true nature was gradually revealed, which was hidden in the shell of a soldier. Gene sets a raft in Mangrove's forest and climbs aboard it.

“Only me and Leona go out to sea. ”

Ramfil was impressed that he understood it differently.

“No! I'm coming too! I'm not afraid of this water at all! ”

One of the new Ramfils was stuttering.

“... That's not what I'm talking about. The raft's a mess. You'll be blown to bits if you ride it. ”

There's no reason to make an unstable raft more dangerous because it just needs to get off the coast. Ramfil sits back, ignoring Gin and Leona's fat gaze, to make sure he's relieved of any misunderstanding.

“Goodbye, then. ”

“Ramfil! I'm sorry I teased you! What are you doing? ”

Leona grins.

“I'll kill you.”

Ramfil rises, but the raft is already leaving for Mangrove Forest. Leona sticks her tongue out at Ramfil.

The two of them seemed like foul brothers and sisters. Gene looks at them with a gentle smile.

You don't look so good, but you look like a brother and sister. It felt strange to Gin, but it was accepted quite happily.

And his position and role with them were also accepted gladly.

The gin rows diligently until it leaves Mangrove's forest. The wave breaks through the trees, leaving no waves in the forest, and Leona's eyes widen as the depths deepen and leave the forest.

Instead of the forest disappearing, the increasingly large mangroves were still rising toward the sky. Cluttered senior citizens were groves with enormous trunks and columns that could not be side-by-side.

“What the...? ”

Leona, of course, was looking around like this was her first time.

“A teratoma.... ”

It was completely absurd. It was strange to see the depths of the sea and the forest of trees together. In broad daylight, the dark sea created a mysterious and beautiful landscape through which the beam of light shining through the leaves illuminated the sleep.

Only Leona and Jean faced this landscape because no one lives around here.

“It's beautiful.... ”

Beauty still remains irrelevant to humans in the world, and sometimes new beauty arises. Leona admires beauty purely for its mere beauty, but Jean cannot help but rejoice. The forest that coexisted with the sea was nothing before its destruction, and the surrounding sea and forest, and the sunlight shining down below it, seemed to have a very mysterious spirit living here.

“Enough with the scenery. Looks like the sea won't end with this mess. ”

Mangrove's respiratory muscles sprouted like a spider web, about the size of the pillar of a branched tree, so the mangrove definitely grew to tens or hundreds of meters. Then I didn't know that this mangrove forest would continue even if I went out to the Great Sea.

Tai Bay's depth was not very deep in the first 50 meters.

So maybe we can't rule out the possibility that the entire Gulf has already become Mangrove Forest.

Queek! Queek!

Gaaaak!

So it was not hard to see that the Great Sea was actually living with terrestrial creatures that were moving from mangrove branches to branches. Gene sighs as he hears the sound of birds, bugs, and monsters in his ears.

“I wanted to get out of the jungle, but that wasn't it either.... ”

It may have been difficult to escape the scenery of the trees until we were out of the area entirely. About the time I thought it was enough, Gene stopped rowing.

“I think we're done here. ”

Fortunately, it was not a subtle forest, and the mangroves had grown enormous but sparsely enough to move on a sea monster. On a crappy raft, Leona sits still and concentrates her mind.

I didn't know what to do yet. But it was to remind me of the senses I had already felt. I was able to revive my abilities right away with the powder, but once I learned that Gin didn't want it, I focused on my mind.

Without mining the progress of Leona, I looked around and focused on figuring out the atmosphere. I was willing to wait for at least an hour and a half a day. It was not a good thing to express your strength based on drugs.

The forest in the middle of the dense ocean with mangrove teratomas was a new landscape after the devastation that had not even been seen.

If it were a healthy world, this would have been a famous tourist destination. Tourism. How far is it from now to even talk about survival?

What if, when the world was still in one piece, I met Leona?

Gene suddenly thought about it and laughed in vain. It's a funny thing to say, but if I had met Leona when the world was still in one piece, nothing would have happened.

It must have passed.

Leona's mother wouldn't have to live as a prostitute, her father wouldn't have lived in alcohol and gambling, and Leona wouldn't have to kill her father and run away.

In an irrelevant place, you would have lived both irrelevant lives.

Because the world looked like this, Jean was a demon-hunter. That's why I was able to help Leona.

Leona, who had nowhere else to go because of the world's shape, had no choice but to leave her life to Jin. Ironically, it was only in this dreadful and dreadful world that Leona and Jean met, and were able to meet.

If it weren't for that, Jean and Leona wouldn't have been able to build any relationship, just passing by.

It was all about the situation, and ironically, it was pretty funny to Gin that this relationship could only be built now.

I felt sad again.
