"Ohhhh!!

Halbad smashes a corner of the altar and countless pieces of stone fly in.

Strike down with a shield and shelter me and the menu behind me.

Menel is now in the process of transferring to King of the Hiiragi the kingship of the forest deposited from King of the Oak Tree.

It's not defenseless at all, but it has to be pretty clear-cut.

"……… Protect."

Prayer and build a radiant junction around Menel.

Kernunnos is a formidable enemy. Suddenly during the battle, if Menel turns his hand on the attack, he may not be able to follow.

It was the chant of the Word that Kernunnos chose for the single-handed gap he gave way to for it.

"" Smoke to Flame. "Day Fumo ad fra."

But that is a bad hand.

"Silent (Taquere)," Mouth (Aus) "

Kernunnos' mouth closes tightly on the words he released in anticipation of the timing.

The next moment around Kernunnos, with the roar, poisonous smoke and fiery fire went wild with the explosion and the confusing momentum.

- The outburst of the Word. It was meant to wake you up.

"The greatest opportunity to kill a powerful wizard is when the wizard casts a great magic"

Gus taught me.

It's not a great chant without the certainty that it can be chanted through.

... but apparently the hand was also within their expectations.

Poisonous smoke spreading from left to right, of which rushing out in the right direction, penetrates the spear into the midst of the wax.

High metal noise. The long battle axe rolled out and the spear intertwined, squirming.

"Hmm… an interruption from the concentration of prayer that immediately discerns the nature of the Word"

The wind blows. The poison smoke is retreating.

No noticeable anomalies have been observed in Kernunnos.

"Brilliant, brilliant"

- Probably almost complete resistance to poison and flames, or magical phenomena.

I guess I chanted it without hesitation because I had no problem blowing myself up.

If you can finish your speech, you can replace the smokescreen even if you can't. Two choices without loss.

And from there, he approached me using smoke.

Because it has extremely strong resistance. And because you know I'm a prayer and magic user, you can read and afford it.

... Then let's follow him in the White Soldier War. Beyond having an entity, you cut it, you poke it, you slap it, and some kind of physical attack should make sense.

I put my strength into my arms.

"Ha!"

"Oops!"

Break up so that competing weapons can play.

of each other's ancient trees, exchange weapons as they run over thick roots like roads.

Standing positions are visibly switched, changed, and sometimes staggered in 3D - and pressed from the front again, along with a hint of loud metal.

A spear and a halvard try to contain each other's weapons. Squeeze.

A blood vessel rises on Kernunnos' thick arm and his muscles protrude.

This one also sits back and fights with force.

"…………!

Gradually, the spear presses down on Halvard.

"Huh... are you human!?

Kernunnos loses color.

But if I did, I don't know if I'm human, that's terrible.

It's the result of Bradstream's training.

Exhale slowly and push harder.

"Phew..."

"Ooh!!

Trying to divert from the direction of power. Sudden changeover, or front, rear, left, and right foot judgment.

I push with muscle force against Kernunnos trying to delude him with such a small move.

Not really, I guess I haven't had the experience of taking lags with force pushes from the front.

I don't get hit with any moves that show overt agitation and unfamiliarity.

With untrained force, push, push, push, push.

- This is where you use your moves.

Flip the spear at once.

The tip of the bouncing spear hit the giant horn of the beast demon, aimlessly.

"Huh!?

I dare not use my strength enough to crush it, but lift the tip of a long, hellish horn.

…… well.

From the head of a human-shaped creature, as a great horn was growing.

If you jump up the tip of that corner, what happens to your neck?

"but..."

The answer is, it twists very well.

This is no longer a physical action.

Kernunnos was completely disfigured when he pulled him further into the corner.

As a result of being dragged around the corner, he doesn't maintain a sense of equilibrium because he's twisting around his neck.

I can tell when I stand on one leg looking directly above me to try it. There is a close connection between the angle of the neck and the sense of equilibrium.

I don't have to experiment with grime and what happens if I'm forced to twist my neck.

…… from the motion of dragging it down as it is, slap the spear down so that it flows (…).

Nothing. A spear isn't just a tool to poke and slash.

If you swing down a stick that is more than two meters long and built to withstand a bump with force...

Centrifugal force, too, is nothing but a vicious blunt weapon.

I knocked him in.

The sound of horns and cranial cracks and the response.

"Mi, per...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Still, the Beast Demon continued to resist ferociously, though the boulder was a General Demon - and the resistance did not last long.

By the time we confirmed the ashed beast demon and recovered the remaining long pattern, Menel's work was finished.

".................. Oi"

I hadn't noticed because I was in a terrible rush so far, but there was a lot of fatigue seeping through his face.

The silver hair is dirty and dull, and the corn or cheeks look slightly over it.

Menel is the best form of hardship in this case, so that might be normal too.

Summer Solstice Day.

That began with the out-of-season snowy grass (snowdrops) blooming.

A few days later it develops into an anomaly in which the fruit ripens and rots, the trees stretch into bullshit, or withers - and finally the beasts and fairies go wild and raging.

"The woods are going crazy," Menel said, detecting the anomaly early, with a bitter worm-biting face.

- Once we left the community to Mr. and Mrs. Leistoff and Anna, we headed to the Oak Tree King.

Menel says the Oak Tree King runs the whole forest from Winter Solstice Day to Summer Solstice Day.

From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the King of Hiiragi ruled.

On the winter solstice day of the solar comeback, when the sun regains its brilliance, The King of the Oak Tree cedes his kingship from The King of Hiiragi.

Then, as the sun prowls and reaches the summer solstice day, when the sun finishes its peak season, The King of Oak Trees once again cedes his kingship to The King of Hiragi.

The nature of this forest revolves around in the relationship between the two ancient tree lords, also known as the twin brotherly kings.

That's why I went to the Oak Tree King.

Summer Solstice Day at the border. That's crazy, so did Oak Tree King fail or fail to give it to you under any circumstances?

That's how I speculated.

But in fact, it wasn't.

Deep in the woods, it was the King of the Hiiragi who was unable to receive the king, said the incarnation of the Oak Tree King, who appeared.

As a result, even after the correct tour of the month, the monarchy continues to remain at hand, with numerous anomalies occurring in the forest.

The mighty king sprinkles only evil if it is not in the hands of the righteous when it should be.

In a few days the forest will be mortally broken and, for many years, irrecoverably painful.

When I asked if there was any way I could let go of my royalty, Oak Tree King replied.

Like the King of Hiragi for me, like the King of Hiragi for me.

Unless there's something to show you the power you deserve to gain the kingdom, you can't give up the kingdom of the forest.

In the voice of giving up everything and accepting doom, he said.

"…… Then leave it to me."

Menel said in a strong tone.

"The great King of Oak Trees. Leave your kingdom to me."

I can't, "Oak Tree King" incarnate said.

The Elves of the Age of the Upper (Kami), created in the Spirit God Rare Sylwia, must not be themselves, but in thee mixed with the blood of man, a month and unbearable.

"If you can stand a month, it's not a problem. And then I'll work it out with him."

The Oak Tree King was silent for a while, then asked.

"If the King of Hiragi has already been lost, your soul will perish after a month"

"I guess."

"... why, until then"

"Save as many lives as you can get, because that's what you swore."

Menel said so in front of the king of the woods, without any shame.

"I swore to the great God via the benefactor who saved my soul. No more reason."

The Oak Tree King was silenced again.

After a long silence - he admitted that Menel would challenge himself and declared that he would impose a test.

"This trial is a dense ritual of the forest.

Be a strong warrior there, magical user, proxy of the God of Lightning. You are not primarily eligible to participate. "

"I know."

Gaze at Menel and nod.

Then I turned to The Oak Tree King, and I said,

"I'll wait. Here, for days."

"Yes, I won't keep you waiting for days."

Menel laughed not to worry, leaving deep into the seat with the incarnation of The Oak Tree King.

Then I don't know what happened behind it, how much misery there was, and what Menel got through.

But the next morning, in front of me, he came home.

He smiled proudly, still, with a much angrier face.

Then we immediately headed to the seat of the King of Hiragi.

The journey of Menel, which was deposited with the king of the forest, was not blocked by all trees and swift, and the rest of the journey went wonderfully fast.

And discover and destroy the demons at the seat of King Hiragi - to this day.

Recently, I feel like there have been more incidents involving the demons (demons) of Nara.

What we went out for ourselves, what we heard reports after other adventurers worked it out, though a lot...

When it comes out to a demon of general character enough to break and curse the throne of the king of the woods, it's a bit of a mess.

I wonder what's happening.

An unspeakable sense of anxiety, like I'm missing something.

When you're feeling something like that,

"- You, son of man."

I heard voices.

If you look, there was a new figure on the altar.

- No, is that a person?

At least people don't have such bark-like skin, not to mention plant leaves and spreads instead of hair and mustaches.

But me and Menel both looked familiar to me.

Because the incarnation of Oak Tree King looked similar.

"I am the King of Hiragi."

The incarnation of The King of Hiragi said that in a soft tone.

"That you exorcised the unholy intruder.

And thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to the throne. "

But "King of Hiiragi" said.

"First, we need to correct the messy forest. … wait a while."

With that said, the king's incarnation spread his hands.

Spinned to flow out of its mouth is a mysterious recitation that I don't even understand.

Perhaps this, too, belongs to a category that belongs to the dense rituals of the forest - that is perhaps the "Word" unknown to man.

A while after the recitation began, the earth slowly began to sound.

The tremor continued around the seat, the ancient tree of King Hiragi - the moment it slowly subsided, the change appeared.

From the surroundings that were poisonous marshes, fresh fresh water blows out one after the other.

Menel, who had deposited the royal power, could have done something similar, but this is on a different scale.

In no time, the momentum was like a tsunami, and the poison was diluted and flushed away.

Around, dead trees due to the evil poison of the curse.

A bud stretched out of the trees that stood unbroken or fell.

The buds grow and grow.

Summer flowers that become seedlings, young trees, trees, and bloom one after another.

A refreshing scent drives away and pushes away the rotten odor.

Grass flowers and mushrooms begin to grow around the trees, and the poisoned earth regains forest refinement.

The leaves grow. The wind dances. Wood leakage is glitching.

"Wow..."

It was like seeing a reverse rotating film - it was a landscape of regeneration, shaking the soul.

Even Menel still sees in this sight.

"King of the woods, huh?... use that unscrupulous power like a limb."

Menel groaned in pain every night when the king was at hand.

He barely waved, he just kept it, and he was in so much pain that even the art of prayer couldn't heal him.

The difference between the presence of the king of the woods and the man, Menel shrugged his shoulders.

However.

"Son of man and spirit. And so will you."

That's what King of Hiiragi said after all the recitations.

"…………………?

"Thou hast dwelt in it the kingship of the forest, even for a moment.

The blood and power of men and spirits already flowing in you are leaning toward the Spirit and approaching the vessel of the King of the Woods. "

…… to? And I get stunned by surprises, too.

"Don't guide me. I'm not talking about right away."

No, I don't care if you tell me not to guide you...

Menel remains rigid.

"Uh, what happens?

"If you fail to practice, you will be far beyond the age of a hundred, the end of the moon... and you will be the new King of the Woods"

Around here, Menel finally restarted as well.

Uh, uh, and I put my hand on my forehead to catch some memories.

"No... I've heard Elf's grandfather speak in his hometown.

The Elves recognized in The King of the Woods make a covenant with the King, and when his life ends, he enters into the woods and ends.

The body becomes either a single beast, or a single boulder, or a single tree - "

And his soul shall be king over the forest.

"That's right. Thou hast made a covenant with my brother the King of Oak Trees.

"……… I didn't mean to."

"Even if I don't mean to, that's what I mean by depositing the kingship of the forest. Young buddies."

"What about the rejection?

"There's nothing I can't do. If you want, you can die a child."

"…… well."

"I'm not talking about it right now. Think about it."

That's what they said, Menel nodded.

Seriously, I'm thinking about it.

"And son of man. Apostle of the Light Fire.

… there is something I have to tell you. "

The gaze of the King of Hiragi turned toward us.

"Know the mountains of the western candles."

"Iron Rust Mountains...... you mean?

"Is that what they call it now"

The king's incarnation nodded.

"A Future Not Far Away for the Kids of Otomura"

From its mouth, as it flows...

"In the Iron Rust Mountains, there is a black disaster fire.

The fire shall spread, or burn all the land. "

An ominous phrase fell.

"That is………!

"That demon general also came over the mountains of iron rust.

That land now beds the golden of the mountain people, a land where the immense evil flames and the king of temper devour sleep.

Whether you fight it, accept it - be prepared. It's not far away, it's coming. "

The words spoken from the mouth of The King of Hiragi echoed with a prophetic weight at the seat of the forest.

"... can't you do something about it"

"If it perishes, it shall be ordained."

Menel releases the question, but the King of Hiragi is not.

So did The Oak Tree King, but they are basically passive temperaments.

"For us, the fire of doom leads to regeneration.

No matter how the evil flame king barks, no matter how people perish. - The forest lives. "

Around, dead trees are seedlings, and newly grown trees are shaking in the wind.

I mean, that's the thing.

"Therefore, son of man. Young buddies.

This is advice and courtesy. "

To us who corrected the anomaly of kingdom and fought for free.

"- This fall, let's promise rich fruit"

Saying so, the incarnation of the King of Hiragi disappeared.
