When the red light went out, it was a dimly murderous indoor.

Several magic prop lights are installed on the wall. Looks like the walls just connected the wooden round-tails. That's a transfer room I've never seen before.

Does that mean the hierarchy I've never been to?

I was flown to another tier, but both Ramis and Hulumi are with me. I definitely activated the "junction". First of all, I feel safe.

"Rummis, Hackon. Right, you're all in this together... but why!

The magic formations on the ground are filled with red light.

Hulumi, kneeling away from me and checking the ground, slapping his fist, eating his teeth off. Can't you just be confident that this malfunction will be tolerated?

"What do you mean! There was no problem with the transfer team. Except for us, we could have flown to the Lake Hierarchy of the Clean Stream. Holy shit!

"Hulumi. It may be a mistake, but it looks like a red light was coming out of Hackon's head when the transfer team moved out..."

Is that why Ramis has been staring at the top of my head since just now?

When Hulumi jumped at me, who stood up in momentum, he twisted his body forcefully and climbed over his head.

"Is this... is that what you mean? You planted the magic to mismanipulate Hackon, not the transfer team."

I don't mind sitting right over my head and convinced, but I'd like a detailed explanation.

"Hulumi, what do you mean?

"Oh, I'm sorry. A magic formation sticks to Hackon's head. I don't see it at all on a daily basis, but it seems to be a mechanism to react to and activate the transfer formation. Don't you dare, I'll disarm you."

Hulumi is slipping his fingers and doing something, so I'll leave you to it.

But I didn't know I was the cause of the transfer team's malfunction. But when did they plant a magic formation on my head? While you were asleep? But it would have been those few days that Captain Kellioil decided to betray me, and would I have slept even once then?

"This probably used special paper or magic props that planted the magic formations. If you possess as much magic as the king of the Underworld, you'll be able to paste the magic formations just by touching them."

Just touch it? But I remember who touched the top of my head - you know.

When he missed the captains, he was touched on the head by destroying the "junction". That time... they did it perfectly. You're a pain in the ass when you turn to your enemies, really.

"Well, this time there will be no more mismanipulation of the transfer formation. I can safely use it from now on, but there's one more thing that's troublesome about that magic formation. It also eats the magic of the place that metastasized after activation. It's a dimension to use that magic to interrupt the next transfer. And the Maze Hierarchy transfer team stopped working."

So if you didn't use the Demon Stone, it would have stopped working? So will the transfer team not move again this time?

"I wiped out the magic team immediately this time, so the magic in the transfer team hasn't been eaten that much, but I guess we should wait a few days until the magic fills up."

"Well, that's just great. Either way, we have to work out the hierarchy."

He hits his hand to blow out the dark air and Ramis is turning his usual smile.

Right. I have things to do, so I need to change my mind.

"Right. Let's start by finding out which hierarchy this is."

Ramis carries me and approaches the door with Hulumi. Doors seem wooden too, but is it a natural hierarchy?

Hulumi grabs the knob and slowly opens it.

The sight visible from the gap is first of all a wall with piles of round-the-clock struck alongside it. Beyond that lies a forest of depression and lush trees. It is also as if the sun barely passes or the whole forest is dark and sinking into darkness.

"This is the seventh level."

"Uh, is that the Dark Forest Hierarchy?"

"That's right. It seems to be a pretty nasty cousin, with lots of plant-based demons."

They can't put it all together, but the lower tier means it's a pretty dangerous zone compared to the fact that the fresh-current lake tier was fourth because it seems to be more dangerous.

"The wall of sight seems to be alive and undamaged. Is the settlement not devastated?"

"You can't just watch this from here any more. I need to go."

"So is that. Hackon, I need you to protect me."

"Let me."

Gently open the door and the two advance in line.

Inside the walls there are round-tailed huts and wooden buildings, but there are no people within sight.

However, there are quite a few trees growing in the settlement, in the middle of the road and in front of the front door of the house. Honestly, I don't think it's anything but a disturbance.

"The tree arrangement is too unnatural. No fool plants a tree in the middle of the road."

"Yeah, it's in the way, isn't it? Plus, there are a lot of little big trees and little trees growing side by side."

Most of the trees growing in the settlement are lower than I am, and are in strange shapes than normal trees. The root trunk is cracked in two, or there are two thick branches growing, as if...

"This tree, like a human... don't you see?

Neither me nor Hulumi could reply to Ramis' whining.

Because I thought the same thing. The trees growing side by side don't even look like parents and children are running away with their hands together.

"I've heard there are demons in this hierarchy that turn humans into trees. Resistant adults and hunters seem to be almost unaffected to the point of being a little paralyzed, but women, children and the elderly seem to suck or something."

So are all the low trees? If you think so, they're all just starting to look like humans. The wrinkles and stiffness of the tree's epidermis make it look like the face of a person distorted by fear, and it's hard to look directly at it.

A tree that looks like a person's shape in a quiet settlement. Originally, it may be a scene frightened by its creepiness, but I hardly feel frightened because Ramisu carries me and there is a Hulumi on top.

Speaking of which, even assuming they were turned into trees by demonic hands, what happened to the grown men and hunters?

If you are certain of the information on Hulumi, it means that it has not become a tree.

"Looking for survival. Don't be alarmed, Ramis or Hackon."

Ramis nodded quietly and proceeded cautiously through the settlement.

The trees are dotted, but the building is less damaged. Not that there was any dispute at all, but there are only minor scratches on the building, and there is still not a single building that is turning into rubble.

When I went out to a place that looked like a boulevard, there was a noise of contention coming from afar.

I hear a tall, well-sounding sound, like banging people's voices, trees and trees.

"Looks like someone's here! I'm gonna run for real, Hulumi, grab me by the hackon!

"Ooh!

I had an improved version of my back that connects me to Hulumi before, but now that I don't have it, I wondered what Hulumi would do, so I climbed up to me. And he's lying down on his head.

If this is Ramisu, he has a huge chest pressed against him, and even if he doesn't feel it, he's just an eye blessing to see, but Hulumi can't even tell if his chest is crushed.

"Didn't you think rude now, Hackon"

"Enjoy this."

I got upset and gave him a weird return. It's half-eyed from close range, but let's not look that way.

Hulumi is desperate not to be shaken off by Ramis' genuine run. Rummis, who raised the earthen smoke and walked through the boulevard, and there was a gate at the end of the bend.

The gate is a little open and demons are breaking in from it.

Giant trees that move the roots of trees like feet, or moving vegetables like hands and feet on carrots. From giant flowers to plants with spreads stretching like tentacles.

And it seems to be the hunters and residents of this hierarchy who are fighting against such plants.

Is it about thirty? Most of them are fighting with axes in their hands. I guess the axe is effective when the tree is the opponent.

The little carrot broomsticks seem to be flirting with the hunters in a quick move, while jumping juice from their bodies and aiming to crush them.

The axe was unfavourable to the quick opponent, but an arrow flying from somewhere stretches the carrot sword to the ground.

"I'll take care of the Ginseng Demon!

Lovely but high voice and distinctive tail that sounds good. I didn't have to see her. Somebody figured it out right away.

Moving his gaze to those who heard him, there was Shui with a bow from the roof of the house. He still releases arrows one after the other, carroting - piercing the Ginseng Demon with arrows.

"Keep away from evil flower demons. Because you can show hallucinations when you smell the smell!

He also looks familiar to a man who is tapping a thorny iron ball and alerting the hunters to it.

Though I didn't know for a moment because he had a decent look on his face.

"If you have plant juice on your shoes later, give it to me. Because it may contain ingredients that harm your body."

It would have been perfect if your mouth hadn't been a little loose, Hebui.

Even at a time like this, should I praise the boulder for sticking to my shoes?

Whatever it is, I'm glad you two are safe.

"We're going to be a part of this!

I'm coming down.

As Hulumi jumped in a hurry, Ramis broke in and crushed the moving giant tree with his fist.

"Oh, isn't that Mr. Rummis? Thank you for your help."

"Ah, yahoo, Ramisu! And hack-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o! I've been waiting, I've been waiting. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Shui screams on the roof with Hebui, who calmly returns it.

That welcome is for my product, no matter what you think.

My eyes are shimmering and my mouth is full of saliva. I'll feed you hungry later, so focus on the fight now.

"I'll explain later. First of all, you can bust this enemy."

"Yes. It would be helpful if you could take charge of that giant tree, the old wooden demon. Ladies and gentlemen, the woman carrying this magic trick is one of ours."

"Oh well! Thanks for the help."

"That's what Shui said scattered. Hackon is a magic trick!

The hunters in this hierarchy seem to know about me.

Then we just have to clean up the enemy and act as vending machines.

With Ramis joining the fight, the slow moving but rugged giant tree was lightly crushed, and the battle situation leaned all at once towards the hunter's side.

When he drives away all the demons that were breaking into the inside of the gate, he pushes once and for all the gates that had become unmoveable because of the winding of the bamboo, with the addition of Ramis, and the gates of the settlement close.

The surviving hunters are cheering and sitting on the ground with a tired look, but there was one hunter who rushed through quickly in the meantime and approaching.

Now, do you want to prepare food and beverage before you mess with me?
