Level Up

The squadron rushes through the forest at an incredible speed.

Everyone who was chasing him was dying, but he couldn't say a word and just ran.

Honestly, I didn't have the energy. When I opened my mouth, I felt like I was going to collapse, so I just gripped my teeth and focused on chasing after the stone.

What was curious was that no one seemed to have fallen even though they had crossed the limit.

They felt confused that they were getting help from a stone during the concealment.

Hyun-seok looks like he's just chasing a group of vigilantes, but he can't defend himself even more because he knows he's paying attention.

After all, I kept going at such an incredible pace that I was heading towards my destination, the magic river, so fast that I could not compare it to when I first went to Medina Tune.

If we kept going at this pace, we could arrive within a day.

The group suddenly tilts their heads in question.

Can't we just call the dragon and go? Then it shouldn't be this hard.... ’

The group looks at the back of the stone and thinks the same thing.

‘You're not forgetting you have a dragon, are you? Oh, that's the guy. I don't think so. Yes, of course. ’

After all, the group managed to reach their destination with all their might.

What was curious was that we didn't encounter any animals or horses, not even humans, while we were running such a long distance.

I just felt like I was running through an empty forest.

After all, it was the same river that was near the Hatoons.

The group looks down at the river and turns to look at the river and stone.

What had never been seen before began to be seen.

“This river...... is full of magic? ”

Ryu Hye-yeon looked at Hyun-seok in surprised eyes and asked. Hyun-Seok nodded and looked carefully at the river water.

One of the reasons I came back here in the first place was to check the usefulness of this lecture.

In the basement of Medinatun, we couldn't clearly see where the river was flowing, so we came in person and looked at it with our eyes open.

Hyun-Seok walked along the river and carefully checked inside. Then he nodded.

I thought I was good enough to come in person. This river itself was a great sorcerer. It was also a sorcerer using magic.

After checking the magic group in person and knowing the magic that flows there, the role came to my attention quite clearly.

‘Cleansed.’

This river was used to purify the turbulent energy that had accumulated in a vast enchanted camp that encompassed the entire forest.

So the water flowing in this river was a little different from the water flowing underground.

Once you enter the river through the underground waterway, the magic is more like magic than magic.

Purify it through the river and return it to its magic.

It was a sorcerer obsessed with sorcery so badly.

This is why so much magic is filling the forest.

In fact, what should be filling Whitehall is pure magical power.

Anyway, after checking the river, I had more doubts.

What could be a pure egg that concentrates the immense magical power that was created in this purification?

I was really curious about what it was.

It was impossible to check the river to the end. It was so long, but the terrain was getting tougher.

I remember saying that the end of this river was the end of the world. Probably would. The end of this river will lead to this wall in Whitehall.

Perhaps the river is flowing into that wall.

‘It's... a strange world.' ’

I felt that way in a new way. Anyway, Hyun-seok decided to finish checking the river here.

The stone shifts to look toward the direction of the Hatoons.

At that time, it was unclear whether the person who was looking in question was still in the Hatoons, but for now, it was his turn to visit them.

‘Somehow...... I have a feeling I'll be able to meet you there. ’

It's a foresight that rarely goes wrong.

“Shouldn't we follow them? ”

Lyon, who was quietly following Hyundai, suddenly said. I nodded my head as if everyone agreed to some extent.

I thought your work would be much more urgent. It doesn't matter whether you're alone or together. As I have so far.

I thought maybe this was just a waste of time.

Of course, something started to change with the help of Hyundai as he rushed all the way here.

But the change was not that noticeable, so everyone felt sorry for it.

“Should we just go back to Medina now? I think I can roughly find a way. ”

Ryan cautiously asks Hyun-seok. However, Hyundai shakes his head firmly.

I didn't add or add an explanation. But everyone kept their mouths shut in that tone.

It was strong enough to make all complaints go away.

The group looks at the stone with a somewhat suspicious look. Honestly, I thought I'd ask you to leave. But there was definitely something important about not doing it.

Until now, the group has never been wrong, so naturally, the group folds their complaints and quietly follows the string.

It was kind of a hunch that Hyun-seok was hanging out with the group. Somehow I wanted to work with them.

When did you start feeling that way? ’

Hyun-Seok suddenly thought that his faith in these colleagues is quite strong.

It seemed that solid faith was the cause of the current mind.

‘Does that mean... that it could be a big help to them? ’

If the premonition of Hyundai is what he says it is, it will be so. Well, maybe not.

As you walk towards the Hatoons, the stone stops and raises its arms in a sudden feeling of otherness.

The group, who saw the sign of the marble, stops walking.

The stone looked around with sharp eyes. Determining the identity of this heterogeneity was the first thing.

‘This is really hard to figure out. ’

The identity of this heterogeneity, of course, was magical power. No, it was magic.

Someone with magic was looking at the stone. But it was so hard to find out who was where and how.

Honestly, I'm surprised. What kind of creature is Hyun-seok, the Master of Magical Power, so hard to recognize?

He must not be an ordinary human being.

The title of 'Master of Magical Power' by Hyun-Seok has now reached the end of maturity.

Evolution was on its way to the next level.

Of course, evolving to the next level doesn't have to be the end. Perhaps even after it has evolved so, it will still require a process of completion as it is now.

Anyway, what's important now is that Hyundai has great control over his magical powers and is quite sensitive.

And it is more important that such a marble does not quickly capture the sense of otherness through magical power.

Hyun-seok focused on his magical power, raising his awareness.

How long has it been? Hyun-seok eventually succeeded in identifying the identity of the heterogeneous senses.

Hyungseong walked aloud. The bracelet filled with magic was then transformed into a sword.

The group looks at the status quo and decides what to do for a moment, but it's time to just observe.

The steps of the stone became faster and faster. And the momentum that came out of the body became stronger.

Then an old man suddenly appeared behind that distant tree.

I'm looking at a long, bent staff, and I can't even fathom how old it is, and I see wrinkles on my face.

“Are you trying to harpoon this old man with that hideous sword? ”

The stone stops at the old man's words and turns the sword back to its bracelet. That old man was the source of the heterogeneity.

Hyun-seok stared at the old man quietly.

He was an amazing man. It was unclear whether it was a boy or a girl. There were so many wrinkles, crooked waist, and the clothes were so flat that I couldn't even tell the difference.

“Why do you keep watching me? ”

“I just took a quick peek because I was curious. It's just an old man's quarrel. ”

The stone shakes its head.

“Not a moment. Ever since I first entered Whitehall, I have not missed a single moment. Isn't that right?"

The question of stone enlarged the old man's eyes.

“Did you know that? ”

“And you didn't want me to find you so blatantly looking at people? ”

The old man smiles. And slowly approached Hyun-seok.

“You want to know who I am? ”

Hyun-seok grabbed the necklace instead of answering. And I pushed it forward. It was a relic of the Hatoons, the chieftain of the Hatoons, that Sakin gave to the stone.

“Did you give this to me, too? ”

The old man's eyes widened again. Of course, it's a little hard to tell if the snow has grown or not because it's covered in wrinkles.

“I wonder how far you'll surprise me. How else did you know that? ”

“I know you've been watching me through this. ”

“I really have nothing to say. I underestimated you. But if you knew that, why didn't you just leave it there? ”

Hyun-seok smiled.

“How do you think I found you? Do you think he came all this way just for a hunch? ”

The old man was really impressed by what he said.

“Oh. Did you reverse the spell on the necklace? It's amazing how that's possible. ”

Hyundai's expression became bold again. And he throws a necklace at the old man.

“Now tell me. Why were you watching me? And what do you want from me? ”

The old man chuckles.

“It would be easier to tell you who I am than that. ”

The old man paused and said.

“I am a fragment of God. ”

The silence in the intestine settles.

“Ugh.”

The last remaining forest shadow sprays blood from its chest and kneels.

He opened his eyes as if he couldn't believe it, and slowly looked around.

Elongated blood spilled from my chest. There was nothing strange about death at any time.

The sight in his eyes was devastating. No, his associates were miserable.

All the forest shadows that were mobilized to watch over Lyla and Muffaloon lay on the floor that year.

Half were breathless, and the other half, likewise, had nothing strange to do with their deaths at any time.

The floor was turned into a sea of blood. Of course, all that blood came from the shadows of the forest.

“How the hell……. ”

I couldn't believe it. The warriors around Mufalun and Lyla are strong enough to overcome the forest shadow one by one.

They weren't just strong. They knew very well how to use their power most effectively and how to use it strongly.

I thought that was only possible for a Great Warrior. But all the warriors here were like the Great Warriors.

In fact, there was a bit of a gap between the Great Warrior and the Forest Shadows.

“Grrrgh.”

The last remaining forest shadow falls with groaning.

That's how all the shadows of the forest ended.

Lila and Mufalun stare at the scene with heavy expressions.

“It shouldn't be that hard to be king now. ”

“Once word gets out, so will it be. ”

Rumors spread that your family, the owners of the Forest Shadow, is in a rather difficult situation. Perhaps there is no chance of them becoming kings anymore.

Mupalun and Lyla just go along with their plan, because they were so far in mind when the stone started.

And this is how it came out.

“In the end...... no one can be king. ”

“I see. I didn't think he wanted this.... ”

The two of them exchanged words with a bitter look on their faces. However, his expression soon changed to tenderness.

“I didn't intend to be king in the first place. It was the only thing that could stop the war. So now there's nothing to be sorry about. ”

Mufalun nods and smiles.

“This is Lila. ”

They stared at the Forest Warriors silently for a while.

“Now... we just have to wait for the King of the Forest to return." ”

Mupalun nods with a firm look at Lyla's words.

In fact, they weren't the only ones waiting for the king of the forest. So was he.

I also had a feeling. A faint smile hangs over Mupalun's mouth.
