Instant Death

For the adventurers of the Ent Empire, the Elf Forest was an unknown realm.

They call me adventurer or something. Though it is often thought of as an adventure, whether it is a place full of danger, adventurers do not engage in activities outside the adventurer system.

If you are within the Adventurer System, you will clearly determine whether you have achieved the quest, and all enemies you defeat will be counted and paid accordingly.

But the elf forest was blocking the power from the outside with strange force. The Empire manages an adventurer system. It's an out-of-town enchantment.

As a result, few go all the way to the Elf Forest.

They just get attacked by elves and demons where they go, and if there's nothing in return for defeating them, they're just wasting their time going.

But the quest issued in difficulty EX: "Destroy the remnants of the royal family!" Things changed.

This quest was something special.

The royal family is headed for the Elf Forest, so hunt for it.

Crusade-based quests were not uncommon in themselves, but the conditions for achieving them were unprecedented.

Bringing the royal neck back to Imperial Capital. It meant that they would be rewarded as they wished.

There are five fallen royalty members.

Naturally, the adventurers were colored because they won early.

The royalty is just a human being, so it won't be that hard to defeat.

This means that even a weak adventurer has a chance as long as he can discover it.

So it was only natural that the adventurers would arrive in the elf forest.

"So, the weak parties are dead."

Saying so was takya from the s-rank party "gehenna".

The class is Samurai.

He wears an armor helmet.

"Well, the adventurers are gifted and they're all overconfident."

It's a wizard's turtle to say it in a self-derision. It seems to hold a cane with a robe together.

Called adventurers in the Ent Empire were those with gifts without exception.

Otherwise, we can't fight monsters.

The Adventurer System is only used to determine quests and does not empower you as an adventurer.

"But what do you think of defeating the remnants of the royal family? Which is more like a righteous ally on the royal side?

It was the assassin Kimitaka who seemed dissatisfied.

Most adventurers dress like that because the class has ability corrections due to costumes, but Kimitaka wears clothes that are, for the time being, uncharacteristic.

These three are members of Gehenna.

"Can't help but notice the details of the quest?

"You don't want to disqualify an adventurer by poking at an empire."

"That's true, though."

It was a short point from the East Ent side into the Elf Forest.

The corpses of the adventurers are scattered, and they are swallowed by worms.

"Falcon Circle Slash!

Takya pulls the knife.

The bugs I wanted, taken together, turned into two pieces.

"Shouldn't we stop fighting for nothing? It has nothing to do with the reward, no matter how many we take down here."

"But. You can't leave the ones you see alone."

Ignore it and pass by, it's not something that stops being attacked from behind.

But where I defeated dozens of them, it didn't make much sense.

"Chit-chit-chit-chit-chit!"

"Gee, gee, gee"

"Ga, ga, ga, ga"

Soon, they were surrounded by insects of all sizes.

"Damn! Falcon Yen Slash!

"Multiple Firebursts!"

Takya and Kaname unleash a range attack.

The worms, taken together, were slashed and torn apart, and burned to the ground.

"Isn't it a bad idea to use flames in the woods?

"It's okay. If it burns so easily, there's no struggle."

It's only in the way of elf forests and such.

Pioneering was attempted many times, and there were plans to burn it.

But the elf forest did not diminish its area, no matter what.

They would soon come back to life trying to reduce it a little, and burning one or two of the trees wouldn't have spread.

"Gah, gah, gah!"

"Teke teke teke teke teke!"

"More! What are you talking about?

"Are you calling your people!

The worm was revealed next.

The strength of each and every one is no big deal, but it is revealed whether it is defeated or defeated.

"There's a space ahead of us that flickered. If we get that far, we'll be able to rebuild it."

says Kimitaka, who hadn't fought this far.

I'm not good at mass warfare as an assassin's class trait, but I have intelligence-related skills.

"All right!"

The three run as they kick the bugs.

Immediately, Kimitaka arrived in the space.

"The bugs... don't come"

"Are you not comfortable where there are no trees?"

It was just a square with short grass growing.

"Take a short break and think about countermeasures - what!?"

The moment the ground swayed and I was surprised, Takya's body was swallowed up on the ground.

As such, only the upper body appeared to be off the ground.

"Is it a pit?

"Just hike it up - gah!

The ground rose and moved, and only Takya's upper body fell to the ground.

"Ko, this is... a slime shaped simulated on the ground..."

The raised ground was in a translucent state.

Inside it is the lower body of Takya, whose clear body is red with blood.

"Fuck, fuck! My body!

S-rank adventurers do not die to this extent.

But there was no doubt that the power of the war had declined dramatically.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Now what!?"

With the sound of the earth, it was revealed.

Huge enough bugs to look up.

Every time I walked, a beetle so big that the ground swayed, it appeared in the square.

"Let's get out of here!

"Hey, don't leave me!

But no one could escape the scene.

A giant horn the beetle prepares for the head.

That's what set off the thunder.

It covers the whole square and strikes at everything there equally.

The slime could be played and the contents sprinkled, and the members of Gehenna went black scorched.

The giant beetle slowly comes to the middle of the square and begins to scrape the wreckage of the slime.

"This place... is like the outside world..."

The beetle, which had eaten up the slime, began to advance as it was.

I guess beetles weren't in the eyes of adventurers or anything.

The adventurers, still alive, were trampled to death by beetles.

"With..."

Chichika was tired.

I'm sure they have more strength than night fog, but still, I guess their discomfort can't help it.

In the woods of elves.

It looked like a rainforest, and was naturally a hot and humid environment.

He is forced to proceed through the moist, blue, smelly air, slashing and tearing the branches. The high and low differences on the ground were intense, and it was the end of a difficult journey to go just a little further.

Chichika is dressed like a swimsuit once again.

Night fog, who is usually somewhat tied to a school-designated shirt in his habits, was also dressed in thin shirts.

Normally, it would be suicidal, such as wearing thin clothes in the jungle.

It just feeds off pests that attach to my skin, like hills, mosquitoes and dandelions, but there was nothing I could do about it with my ability to fog at night.

They just come close, they die.

"What, it's not shaking!?"

The earth seemed to be shaking if you ask me.

It's not that it's an earthquake, it's trembling with heavy bass at regular intervals.

And it was getting bigger gradually.

The sound of shaking the earth called Zun and the sound of the trees called Mekimeki breaking into its heels is approaching.

And it was revealed as it stepped down the trees.

"Heh!? Elephant?

"The epidermis is too glossy for"

"Bugs......?

It was a giant bug.

A beetle of such magnitude as an elephant arrived.

He's about five meters tall.

Six legs and everything is thick. Overall, it was round and had splendid horns growing on its head.

"Hey? Do you live here as an elf?

"Don't ask me!?"

"This guy came after us... doesn't seem like it"

"But if you run into him, how does he work?"

"If you're a beetle, you smoke sap, right? Do people attack?

"There are also carnivorous beetles."

So far, no clear intent to kill has been directed.

It didn't seem like a problem if I didn't stimulate it.

"Let's give way. I mean, it seems easier to follow this guy after he's moved on."

"I don't know if he's going anywhere."

The night mists took the path of a giant beetle.

The beetles don't seem to be in the eyes, such as the night fog, so they keep moving forward.

There, a giant tree nearly collapsed.

"No... those aren't trees! It's like a fake insect in a tree!

"It's like Nanafushi."

"Maybe it's not even an insect. Slightly more legs"

Something like a tree got tangled up in a beetle.

"Gmooooooooooo!"

"Kishaaaaaaaa!"

The worms roared.

"What is this!? What should we do if the insects fight?!?"

"I want to support the old beetles."

"Don't look. Let's get out of here!

A giant beetle trembles and tries to rip off an entangled bug.

Tree-like worms were groaning to pierce their legs into the exoskeleton gap.

So far, beetles with ambushes and broken horns seem to have worse minutes.

The night fog watched where the battle went, but the tabernacle came abruptly.

A gust of wind broke out and the two contenders disappeared.

"Huh? What's next!?"

There was something huge in front of me.

Something like a black wall revealed abruptly.

If you look closely, it was also like a body of bugs.

A very large magnificent bug is blocking his sight.

"Hundreds of feet...... or so?

The woods were like slashed and torn, and the sky was visible.

There is an appearance of the bugs who fought until earlier in the sky.

They were tucked together in a giant jaw.

There was a noise, and the bugs fell apart.

"Kokosan. Didn't I tell you I've exorcised hundreds of paws a long time ago?

"No... it wasn't that big."

In Japan in the past, there were ghosts and serpents and hundreds of them, and Koko said.

He bragged that Tannoura Liu also has the art of defeating them, but it doesn't seem to be useful in this situation.

"Well, on a scale so far, how can we not be in the eye?

"I'm staring at you! I'm intrigued by him over here!

The Great Hundred had their heads pointed at the Night Mist just because you were the next prey.

"Die."

The giant giant of the great hundred shakes about.

The body I lifted fell at once, lying to crush the forest.

The ground waved. It rocked so heavily that it could not be compared to previous shakes, etc.

"What the hell, here! Where is the Elf Forest?"

"It's a more dangerous place than I thought."

"So. It's hard to say, but I feel lost."

also this suddenly mentioned that.

"Huh? Weren't you going straight?

"I thought we were moving on."

"No, no. It's going on with the slashing and tearing, so about whether it's going straight or not..."

Chichika turned around, so I saw the fog there at night.

The forest was scattered and rough.

With giant bugs moving around, the surroundings can easily change dramatically.

"If you could see the ocean, wouldn't you have done something about it? If Kokosan flies up and confirms it,"

"That's it. This forest is full of magic, magic, curse, and temper. I can't get too far away from you."

"Say that a little bit sooner!

"You're getting dark. The sun may have fallen."

It was evening when the night fog checked the clock.

"All right! That's it for today!

It wouldn't solve anything where I rested, but for now, I was going to camp.

also this one cuts and expands the perimeter with a tent in mind, and creates something like tent with a tentacle there.

The three went inside and sat on the floor.

The floor is cushioned and not uncomfortable to sit on.

Once inside, there were no joints and the surrounding influences could be completely blocked.

"Ah, cool. How do you do that?

"I'm just recreating how the cooler works with the tentacles. Didn't you learn Boyle Charles' Law and other things at school?

"Ugh... I'm mounted with knowledge by the ghosts of peacetime..."

"Can't this be on the move?

"It's hard to control while traveling."

"Let's talk about tomorrow, including heat control."

"Well... that was a little too mundane..."

"Mm-hmm. Now you don't know exactly where you are."

"Don't you know the direction? Doesn't that work for the acacia?

"It has the ability to detect geomagnetism, but it's not like Earth. Almost useless. Well, if you look at the sun and the stars, you can give some guidance."

"You went too far into the dark clouds... what were the Vivians going to do?

"Well, if you had a plan, wouldn't you have measures? I think I knew this was a forest."

Marne said the elves didn't come out when she went on reconnaissance.

Naturally, I would have had some idea about the elf forest.

"Right. If I meet someone, I'll talk to them."

"Who's who? I don't think we're gonna get to see the Vivians again."

"I guess it's okay. The Apostle was attacking me even when I came to the woods, so I thought you'd come here sometime. The question is, can't the Apostles get hit by bugs or something?"

"Too much hitting..."

I also had to reflect on the fact that the night fog had appropriately come this far.
