Reincarnation of the Sword Master

97. The Forest of Monsters (1)

That's a huge forest.]

In front of Asher was a long jungle. The dense air disturbed the breathing.

Asher stepped into the jungle.

"We can get to the north after this place.”

It's just that the process is hard. Asher stepped into the jungle, a silence came. Nothing was heard except the intermittent cries of insects.

[It's creepy.

Asher looked around the bushes, trees, and the muddy ground. Ansir asked, with a meticulous manner, as if the hunter were chasing the traces of the game.

Why are you so careful?]

"It's usually dangerous here."

This is the middle point of the northern part of the country, where people made several villages and helped passers-by.

But that's the story after the demon was eradicated. This place was originally a scene where you can't just step in.

A trace was captured in Asher's eyes as she scoured the ground. When I roughly brushed off the leaves covered above, I could see a huge footprint.

"Ouger."

It was the monster's footprints.

"Are you back again?"

After the extermination of the demon, all the monsters disappeared from the world. That's why humans were able to settle down here.

But they came back to their homes.

Before people lived. This forest was called the home of monsters.

***

"The Devil."

Master of darkness. He who tries to invade the world.

"Who is he?"

The throne of the Devil shall be succeeded. The owner of the horse-riding horse used to change from time to time. Then is it the devil who invaded the world in the past or the new devil who is after himself now?

[If you're on target, isn't he the one before?]]

"But he was kicked out. He was dead."

[If you're in the same mood these days, it's not weird to say that you didn't die, is it?]

"He's after a warrior, even if he's after them. Why me?

Although he helped out during the war, he only gave combat advice and supplies management. He was not there when the devil died. No, I've never met him in the first place.

"Ouch!"

There was a roar on the left. Asher stepped up and grabbed the vine between the trees. After a while, two goblin appeared through the bushes.

"Keez!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The faces of the Goblin were full of fear, so that even human beings could be recognized at a glance. And immediately after that, Ouger appeared breaking down the trees.

"Come on, come on!

Ouger found Goblin and shook his fist with a roar. The trees were broken like dry firewood, and the goblin running away were still bloodstained. Ouger walked around and grabbed the body.

It's wild.

Asher let go of the vine. As soon as he fell just above Ouger's head, he took out his weapon and used the elasticity of his waist to play with his hands.

Deeply.

With a light sound, the sword pierced Ouger's head. Ouger, who was trying to eat the game excitedly, stopped.

Coo-oong!

Asher brushed the blood off the sword. A wave of corrosive blood began to rise.

Was there originally an ooger here?]

"There used to be more."

Humans are crazy too. No matter how much you say it's gone, I can't believe you're thinking about settling in]

"People go everywhere on land without owners."

The world at that time is peace itself. People were not fully aware of the threat. That's why it was even worse.

'They're all dead.’

If the monsters showed up one by one, there was a possibility that they might have run away, but did they?

This was the land of the people and the territory. It was a place where the weak did not come in the first place.

"Let's keep moving."

There is a long way to go. Normal roads are not that far, but there was a good chance of trouble while the monsters were going.

And the prediction hit the mark, and within a few steps the monsters were seen. Troll. And Harpy. The two groups were trying to kill each other.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Blood splashes and cuts flesh. I don't care if my body is broken, I try to kill the enemy. Asher fell back.

"Going by."

There was no need to spend time. Asher turned aside from the battle. Ansir grumbled.

[Why did you make this place the only channel between territories?]]

"I made it because it's this kind of a place like this.”

a land of harmony of all races There must be someone who doesn't like it. Therefore, the North is effectively at odds with other areas.

Prove your strength to come here. If not for him, show your determination. That's what it meant to put the monster's territory between them.

"Besides, it wasn't supposed to be this bad. It was hard without monsters, but it was a place to come.”

But now a monster has appeared. It was safe to say that the two areas were virtually disconnected.

Harmony... I don't think it's going to work out.]

Asher paused at the murmur of the Ensir. The north is the land of harmony created by Repenia. That was the case when he visited in his previous life.

But what about now? Lephenia said it was broken. The world was twisting.

Under such circumstances, is the place still insisting on harmony?

“…….”

Asher moved back to where she had stopped. It was something you'd know if you arrived anyway.

***

"Too many than I thought."

"Come on!"

Ouger breaks down the trees and runs to Asher. Asher teases the sword lightly. Ouger's head and body separate and collapse.

Wedge!

Then this time, the serpent crawls to bite Asher's ankle. Asher makes fun of her feet and presses her head. A snake with a pick and a split head shakes its body.

"Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Two trolls fall from the tree as if they had waited. Asher makes fun of his arm to avoid punching. Then swing the sword. The slanted trolls fall.

That's strong. There's no one who can stop you, not just humans or anything other than human beings.]

Although dying helplessly by Asher, Ouger and Troll were monsters that were hard to deal with, even if a squad of knights rushed in.

They were not weak monsters, just easy to catch because his power spans the realm of heroes.

"Strange."

What's wrong with you?]

"Too many, too hostile."

Before the eradication of the demon king, I came here when it was the domain of monsters. There were a lot of monsters at that time, but it wasn't this hard to attack.

The number of monsters was small, and they were more vigilant and balanced than hostile.

But not now. It was as violent as if to kill everything in sight.

"It's going to take a long time. Don't tell me you don't have it."

"Come on!"

Just in time, a Ouger ran into Asher. Asher reached out lightly, grabbed Ouger's head, and struck him down. With a roar, Ouger was thrown into the ground.

"Big! Big! Big!

Ouger struggled, but the captured hand did not budge. The mighty monster was as helpless as a child.

Asher quietly looked down at Ouger.

I felt something dark, dark.

the dark energy of darkness

Asher gave her hand a boost. Ouger's head broke like a watermelon and the dark things scattered.

"DALLA."

I saw two kinds of monsters on my way here. Monsters who start with vigilance rather than rushing like in the past. And a monster who just tries to kill.

As a result of looking at it, the latter case often harbored dark energy.

Asher glared silently at the dispersing energy. I retraced my memory to find the trace.

"…just like the guys in the raid.”

Goblin who attacked Irak's territory, and monsters controlled by the mah. It was like them.

"LOL."

The bushes have split. As soon as he glanced away, the Goblins were staring at Asher with their windows crossed.

Asher picked up his weapon. Goblin was not a problem. It seems to be quite a number, but it was Goblin at best.

The Goblin were slowly approaching. Asher was about to wield his weapon.

"Laugh. Stop it. You can't beat him."

"Ahhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Laugh!"

The Goblin hurried back. Asher frowned. It was a familiar voice, a voice I had heard before.

"I can't guarantee that this forest itself will win."

A goblin appeared among the goblin. A robust physique On a body like a human muscle, one hand held a sharply divided spear. Asher opened her mouth.

"I was wondering where you went, did you come here?"

"Nice to meet you. Human."

Tacan grinned.

***

Monsters who were with the Goblin owners who attacked the land of Irak when they were the owners of the bottom.

Asher posed. Tacan grinned.

"That's great. I can tell from your posture. You trained your swordsmanship just like you did back then. You don't have to be disappointed.”

The Tacan grabbed the window and spun around. A neat, perfect circle line.

[Wow. That's pretty good.]

Ansir murmured in a sweet voice.

You haven't been training since then. I don't remember much of that kind of singing.]

The takan bobbed the window.

"Follow me."

"What?"

"Or are you going to fight? That's not bad either. But our sacrifice is great to subdue you. Maybe it's impossible. I don't intend to fight meaningless."

That was unexpected. Monsters are human enemies. For them, fighting is life itself, and there is no such thing as a meaningless fight. Asher murmured quietly.

"You still speak like a human being.”

"So what are you going to do?"

Asher glared for a moment, and put the sword in. Tacan grinned.

"The choice is excellent. Then follow me."

The takan turned round and round. The other Goblin followed like a servant who served his master. Asher walked away.

"Big."

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

As I moved forward, I saw many monsters. Ooh, Harpy, Troll. Golem. All of them are monsters who tear goblin to death.

Those people leaned toward the Tacan. Showing respect, showing respect. Asher burst into laughter.

"Goblin's a king?"

"A meaningless seat. Where I want to go is a higher road."

At last the bushes were over and a large open space was visible. There were countless monsters huddled together.

When Tacan emerged, the monsters raised their arms and shouted.

"Come on!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

All the monsters were paying homage to Goblin.

Behind the Tacan, Asher opened his mouth.

"You're the owner of this place.”

"That's true."

Tacan nodded.

"I'm in over my place."

For generations, a monster's forest was dominated by a monster. He managed monsters, led them, and controlled this land.

The master of this place, the master of monsters, the ruler of thousands of monsters. That was the position of the current Tacan.

"Then as the owner, you should tell the visitor.”

Tacan grinned.

"Welcome to the monster forest. Human."
