I wonder who really calls Kyle here.

That's what I thought as I kept walking in the woods.

It is difficult to walk, so it may take time, but the distance to move forward is not very profitable.

but keeps moving forward as you focus and explore the surrounding signs.

I didn't plan on walking in the woods, but I feel that what I usually wear is useful.

The equipment that covers my body, the demon armor, protects my whole body.

Moreover, it has the mysterious performance of being made to fit your body, so it does not interfere with your body's movement even when it is moving.

It was also helpful that my waist was usually equipped with a weapon.

Even though there is attack magic behind these woods with bare hands, it is painful.

Incidentally, what I have now is a slashing iron sword, Gran Barca.

Kyle gave Kyle the other weapon's nine-tailed sword.

I thought a magical weapon called the Nine Tails Sword would be useful at this time.

Even Kyle, who has no combat experience, can be used as a flaming weapon if he casts his magic, so he can defend himself for now.

However, there is also the question of what to do if it causes a fire.

And then there's Tanatos at the end.

This is very comfortable.

Tanatos usually wears demon armor, and the weapon gives him a stick of hardened bricks I've already made.

If it was true, Tanatos was the fastest to make a giant and break through the woods, but I stopped doing that.

Because I didn't know what was in this forest.

For example, some creatures may be stronger than the Titanized Tanatos.

And Tanatos can't keep Titanizing forever.

For this reason, I decided to keep it as a trump card in the event of an emergency.

I keep on leading with my mind worn out.

Nothing happens forever, but it's pretty tough to walk with a lot of focus.

I want to rest until I conclude that it was Kyle's fault that I heard the voice.

That's what I thought.

Ars, down there!

"Ha!? What is it?"

Tanatos, who was walking at the rear, shouted.

As soon as I heard that, I turned my eyes downstairs, but I was late in my judgment.

There's something moving down there.

But I couldn't understand why it worked.

"Shit."

The next moment, I was hanging upside down.

I was hung with my head directly below my head because my feet were wound up and pulled up.

But this was definitely not a trap.

Sometimes it is like hanging someone with a vine trap in a jungle, but it is never like that.

Because I watched the whole time with my own eyes, and I saw that the plants themselves were moving like animals.

Tanatos, protect Kyle. The plants are moving and attacking. "

Speaking quickly, I shook an iron sword at something entangled in my feet.

As expected, if it was a shard of a slashed iron sword, it would not be possible to cut it.

I cut off what was entangled with me, and I landed on the ground spinning in the air.

"What the hell is this? The roots of the trees moved and attacked."

It was cut off by an iron sword.

It was the root of a tree.

From what I've seen, there's nothing unusual about the root of a normal tree that grows in the middle of it and stretches into the ground.

Or the thick tree roots that occasionally stand on the surface and get in our way.

However, it was from the very beginning of the accidental landing in this forest, and only its roots did not look special.

But is it possible that all the trees here will have their roots moving and hanging their prey?

If that were the case, you would have gotten lost in the middle of nowhere.

Is there no place of rest any longer?

Ars, it's still coming!

"Seriously. What the... They're not just attacking tree roots, they're attacking branches."

I had a bad feeling about it.

Did you consider us a threat to the first space suspension, or the trees will attack us from beginning to end?

The root of the tree moves while raising the ground from the bottom, and the branches of the tree are shaken down from the top and side.

Phew, deeply breathe and refine your magic.

Distributes the magic that has been kneaded into your body.

I also sent magic to my hands and feet, but I concentrated about half of it on my head.

Collect magic that has been refined into sensory organs such as eyes and ears to sharpen your senses.

Then he continued to cut down the roots and branches of the trees that came from around him with a slashing iron sword.

"What kind of training is this? It's a wooden fist or something."

Continue to cut out everything that stretches and moves around you.

Of course, not all can be cut, so there are some things to avoid.

If it's a feeling enhanced by magic, I can deal with it for now.

However, there was a question as to how long it should continue.

If this goes on forever, I won't be able to move eventually.

And I wasn't the only one pinching.

Tanatos was also under attack from surrounding trees.

But Tanatos seemed a little worse than me.

I was by Kyle's side to protect him, so I couldn't be a giant.

You may step on Kyle the moment he becomes huge.

However, dealing with trees is delayed when they remain small.

Anyway, Tanatos had a stick the length of which was easy to use even in the normal human size I had prepared.

Because it is not a sharp blade like a slashing iron sword, striking or knocking on the roots of the trees that attack will not end the attack by the trees.

But it was Kyle, who was protected by Tanatos, who put him in a more strange situation.

I don't know why, but Kyle wasn't attacked from the trees, unlike me or Tanatos.

Honestly, it would be helpful.

But I was wrong to think so.

While preventing the tree from attacking, Tanatos and I were being guided away from Kyle one by one.

It was just a little bit of time.

But Kyle realized she wasn't under attack for some reason.

Kyle speaks up.

"Mr. Ars, Mr. Tanatos. Wait, wait, wait. I'll stop this attack."

"Whoa, whoa, wait. Where are you going, Kyle?"

Looking toward Kyle as he slashed the roots of the tree.

But Kyle wasn't there.

Kyle was running and moving.

Go in the direction Kyle said he could hear you.

Further into the woods than here.

Strangely enough, the trees in the forest are not disturbed by Kyle's movement alone, and even the trees are moving as if they were being guided.

Tanatos, use your magic. Make it huge. Go after Kyle!

Oh.

But it was too late.

Titanized Tanatos, but many of the surrounding trees were more than five meters tall.

In other words, trees taller than Tanatos had nothing to fear from Titanized Tanatos, and continued to attack as before.

I've been hit.

I managed to run around with the Titanized Tanatos and try to chase after Kyle while preventing the tree from attacking, but I couldn't.

Maybe someone stopped me and Tanatos to isolate Kyle.

By the time the surrounding trees had regained their tranquillity, I had completely lost Kyle.
