Level Up

The Dark Forest was very faithful to its name. A dark darkness sat on all sides.

I entered the forest in broad daylight, but as soon as I stepped into the forest, I suddenly felt like it was night.

“That's creepy.”

Liu Ji-hye said so and naturally fell back. Then the main quest team moves forward with her movement.

As soon as he felt the crisis that he did not know when something was going to happen, he went into battle.

As the team's main quest advances into battle, Ryan and his enthusiasm move to a more comfortable position in battle.

Hyun-seok still walked in front of him.

It naturally fell at an angle behind both sides of the stone, followed by team main quests, Ryan and the heat of the light.

The string goes straight inside, and it looks as if it knows about the Dark Forest and it's finding its way.

But in fact, it was just moving into the middle of the forest. Calmly shedding her magic.

First, I had to meet the mad Black Wizard who was occupying the Dark Forest.

Dalgric. Dalgric.

You hear the sound of bone striking. The sound became louder and more complicated.

A horde of white skeletons from all sides is approaching with a rattling sound.

The group is already surrounded. As if the skeletons were intelligent, the siege has only been narrowed from afar.

“You shouldn't think of it as a skeleton! Stay sharp! ”

Ryu Ji-hye asked the team members.

And the skeletons rush in.

Quadrudrudruple!

Get it, get it! Get it, get it!

Quadrudruple!

The skeletons here are well armed.

The source of this skeleton was the soldiers who came in to subdue the Dark Forest, so they were using their weapons for a living.

Obviously, the skeletons were quick and strong, whether something else was working. And he was good at fighting.

The collaborator was amazed and well versed in his weapons.

Like soldiers who have been hand-to-foot for a long time.

But no matter how strong they are, they are only skeletons. And dealing with them was one of the world's leading players.

The squadron literally sweeps through the skeletons.

It was hard to feel the difference if it was just a reinforced skeleton or just a skeleton or, frankly, a marshal.

They were just skeletons.

I wonder how long it's been moving. New forms of skeletons have begun to emerge.

The skeletons are much more agile and small.

I also saw skeletons with gorgeous hands.

Skeleton Assassin and Skeleton Mage.

It was a skeleton specialized in assassination and magic, respectively. Perhaps the expedition has suffered heavy damage since the moment they appeared.

However, they are also just skeletons for the group.

Chuckle! Chuckle! Heave-ho!

The Skeleton Mages are scattered beyond magic.

Park Seung-hee's flying arrow smashed the Skeleton Meiji one by one, trying to use magic.

The strength in every arrow was enormous, and the accuracy was amazing. The arrow she fired shatters the Skeleton Maze's core without a single blow.

Ryan and the heat of the cold ran wild like flesh on water. Of course, you struggle as hard as you can to stay close to the squadron.

But they are the world's number one contender. The skeletons collapse in excellence with a single slash of their hands.

Where they swept once, there was a gap of a radius of about ten meters.

As the group does so, Hyundai swung his sword lightly, striding straight towards the target.

It was just a light stroke, but the results were never light.

Every time I swing my sword, a long crescent-shaped chunk of magical power swept through the skeletons like a whip.

A pile of skeletons collapse in front of the stone. At that moment, Hyun-seok cried out.

“Watch out!"

Everyone was nervous at the cry of the stone.

The only enemy you encounter is the skeleton, which makes you slightly less nervous.

Maybe the timing of the opponent is just like that.

Kwaw!

Something big flew in. A white, elongated thing swirled violently and flew at an incredible speed.

It was not one or two, but dozens of them.

It was a drill made firm by the bones of the broken skeletons.

Hyungseok slightly curled his body, shining his eyes. Then he tightly gripped the sword with both hands.

“Haaaaa!”

With a vigorous struggle, the stone's sword moves at a dazzling speed.

Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!

A bone drill struck the blade of the stone in succession. Drills twisted in their flying directions, bouncing back and forth from sky to earth.

And the drills that bounced away were cracked all over their bodies, but they were not able to overcome the rotating force and broke free.

Shhh!

There were bones everywhere.

The stride extends the sword in all directions, rotating its body like a knife dance.

Kwa-woo!

Every time a stone reaches out its sword, a sudden whirlwind rises. You create a massive stream of magic mixed in with the sword.

Everyone was amazed and looked at the scene.

Dozens of gallstones blew away the bone dust that was filling all over the place.

Suddenly, he stood still with his sword hanging naturally.

There were white bone dust and bone fragments all around the stone.

It was like I was standing alone in the snow.

The stride turns the sword back into a bracelet and then moves on.

The group gazes at the back of the barren stepping stone for a moment, and quickly catches up.

They naturally return to the original advance and raise tension again.

It couldn't have ended like this. If this were all it would not have failed all those expeditions.

* * *

The Dark Forest has existed for centuries.

After he took over the forest, the first thing he did was kill every living thing in the forest.

I started with living magic and killed all the animals, even the insects.

The extermination of life was very simple for him. Just put out the fog of death, and everyone naturally ran to their deaths.

He's only here because the environment is right for him.

It was here in the Dark Forest that had the best environment to accomplish his plan.

The owner of the forest was not satisfied with killing all the creatures in the Dark Forest.

He began spreading rumors about the Dark Forest to the outside.

Information about a very valuable herb here began to circulate in secret.

The owner of the forest was not alone. There were allies he was working with, and there were accomplices following him.

Rumors spread in secret with their help have led thousands of people to the Dark Forest.

The owner of the forest slaughtered them literally. And he uses them to form his own army.

It was literally an army of darkness, an army of death.

The notoriety for the Dark Forest has become so high that people are no longer coming to it.

The owner of the forest was preparing a rumor that caught people's attention again, proceeding with the plan.

Then an uninvited guest visited the forest.

At first, I thought they were worthless adventurers. In the meantime, small adventurers often visit even though no Humans from the military have come.

Of course, they are now his loyal servants too. With his life taken from him.

So I thought I would do it again. But it didn't take me two hours to realize that I was wrong.

His first squad of skeletons was slaughtered.

Although it was a simple regiment of skeleton soldiers, assassins, and mages, they were multiplied by the power of the Dark Forest.

Moreover, one death was meant to be a very powerful attack at the end, not just the end.

Nevertheless, even in a short time, it was no exaggeration.

There were three legions led by the owner of the forest. The first of them is completely gone.

He decides to lead the other two forces out himself.

His army is doubled with him. He admitted that the enemy is unusual.

“Hmmm. Let's go. ”

The owner of the forest recalls sleeping in the air. Then I slipped.

After that, his men follow the line. Of course, there were some men who moved ahead.

The appearance was closer to the skeleton. But it wasn't just a skeleton.

Their bones were much thicker and harder. And there were mysterious colors everywhere.

In their absence, a large crystal ball floats in the air.

A shiny, black crystal bead that perfectly matches the Dark Forest.

* * *

The group makes steady progress toward the center of the forest. Hyundai no longer unravels his magic. because I know where I want to be.

It was right in the middle of this dark forest.

The second encounter between the squadrons is with undead horses.

The beasts and beasts that used to live in the Dark Forest turn into undead and rush toward the party.

Because of the Dark Forest's unique power, it was much stronger and faster than when it was alive. Moreover, his recovery was tremendous.

They were much tougher than the Skeleton soldiers.

Of course, there was no difference between the group and Hyun-seok. I was driven by overwhelming force.

The undead have fallen. Everyone was crushed and scattered to the dust.

Hyundai blows away the scattered powder of the undead horseshoe unconditionally.

If they continue to accumulate in the body through the respirator, they have a negative impact.

If I inhaled too much powder, it would be impossible for the undead to proceed.

The other undead may be, but the undead here are.

Maybe this powder is the scariest thing in the Dark Forest.

It may be a plague that turns the Dark Forest into a real Dark Forest.

Hyun-Seok waved his sword thinking like that.

“That's a lot of shit! ”

Ryan grunts and wields his sword. In response to his attack, he stabs the undead with a subtle crack in their heat.

The undead have fallen supreme.

If I pass through the fallen undead, I'll need confirmation to wake up again.

They crush the undead.

The same was true of the team main quest. They fight the undead, trying not to break formation.

Everyone's getting tired. Nevertheless, his eyes became more and more intense.

They also feel their bodies are rapidly growing as they enter the Dark Forest and fight intensely.

How many fights did he have?

You rush to the undead, including the beast and the beast.

The squadron strikes and breaks through all of the undead quickly.

Eventually, the end began to see.

The stone is sharpened with a large sword.

Kwaw!

The undead that spread far and wide, as well as the front, poured into the dust as they smashed together.

The sparrow no longer swings its sword.

There are still undead left, but that should be enough for Ryan, the heat of the mines, and the team's main quest.

It's going to take a little longer, of course.

Hyundai quickly regained his strength with deep breath. And I did everything I could to regain my strength.

The magic of death is imminent.

It seemed that the owner of this forest would appear. That too, with a bunch of men.

The magic of death approaches. And just in time, the squadron cleans up all the undead that were here.

“Hmmm. They really weren't ordinary. ”

The man in the black robe and the hood are all turned upside down, floating in midair, staring this way.

His eyes radiate a bloodshot glow from the inside of the hood.

The group sighs and gazes at him with a weary look. No, I looked behind him.

There are some odd-looking ones standing around. There were not many. However, each one seemed to be incredibly strong.

Hyundai reads the name on the black wizard's head.

“Cairos?”

“Hmmm. Is there anyone still who knows my name? ”

Of course not. Hyun-seok only read the name through his mind.

Hyun-seok has confirmed information on a man named Cairos.

[Cairo]

[One of the five great evil men in the empire. I reached the pinnacle of dark magic and studied the undead and gained eternal life. Only half of the current state remains.]

“Only half? ”

A black flame rises from Cairos' body as he hears the stirring of the stone.

“How do you know that? ”

The End
