"... fu, thank God. Thank you both."
"Brother Ars, are you okay?
"I can't manage..., no, I can't move any more. But I thought you were dead when that monster attacked you. Thank you so much. Thanks, Kyle."
"Yeah, that's not true. Tell Mr. Tanatos more than I do if you thank me. He told me he was out of line with Brother Ars, and he was looking for me in the woods."
"Well, thank you, Tanatos"
"No, fine. Glad you're safe."
Make sure the bone body of the immortal bone dragon collapses to pieces and stops moving, and I thank the two who helped me.
From what I've seen, both Kyle and Tanatos look fine with no major scratches.
By contrast, I was badly injured.
Slowly breathe as you lower your hips on the ground and exhale the accumulated blood in your mouth again.
"But what happened to Kyle? Why did you manipulate the woods so much? Isn't that the same one that attacked me and Tanatos the first time?
"We'll see about that, Brother Ars. We need to treat that wound first. Wait a minute. I'll get you some herbs that you can use for your wound pills."
"Oh, okay. Let's get some rest."
Ask Kyle what he's always cared about while fighting immortal bone dragons.
but they told me that was behind me.
Apparently, he was seeing medicinal herbs nearby that could be used for medication.
Kyle goes with Tanatos to get that herb.
And in the meantime, I decided to put a brick building in the right space and wait in it.
"Uh, I mean, the voice that was calling Kyle in the woods was this old tree in the woods? From then on he was asked to sign with the Spirit of the Tree and defeat the dragon of the Immortal...... Really?"
"It's true, Brother Ars. Don't you believe what I'm saying...?
"No, I'm sorry. That's not true, Kyle. You don't doubt what Kyle says. But it's true you were surprised. That's what happens."
"It's not uncommon to sign with the Spirit"
"Oh, really, Tanatos?
"Atmos warriors also contract with the Spirit to gain strength. You're not, are you, Ars?
"I guess I'm a little different. It's a ritual named after the church and the Fontana family."
"... right"
"But why did a guy like Kamiki in the woods be so impotent to Kyle? You can't let Kyle fight such a dangerous one.... You're starting to get annoyed. You want me to go complain?
"You don't have to do that, Brother Ars. Besides, I'm happy. Als, you've got the power to help your brother."
"Well, I hope Kyle says so. But if that tree says something next, why don't you tell me first? You don't have to do anything dangerous."
"Thank you, Brother Ars"
During a break in the woods, I spoke to Kyle.
The story was really fantastic.
We were moving around in the woods, and Kyle was the only one who heard the call.
It's from the old trees that grew in these woods.
He said the tree had done Kyle a favor, lost in the woods.
He's been telling me to defeat the Immortal Bone Dragon instead of giving Kyle his powers.
The presence of an immortal who just rots his surroundings by being there.
That was the worst thing that ever happened to a fat tree with the power to manipulate the woods.
They also tried to do something about the tree to prevent it from becoming more and more corrupt by their place.
but he said manipulating forest trees alone could neither defeat nor repel immortal bone dragons.
But that's where Kyle showed up.
The tree seems to have felt Kyle's sober spirit.
but the two beings stuck to that Kyle, he said, were ones he didn't even want to get close to.
So they just called Kyle and stopped us.
What the hell is that?
It makes me wonder if my heart is dirty.
Well, that happened, and Kyle was supposed to meet that old tree.
In the form of a plea to stop attacking us in the name of stopping.
And he was sworn to fight the Immortal Bone Dragon on the terms of stopping the plant attack on us.
How dare you offer such a barter in a forest like this?
I don't have to think of it as a stubborn tree.
With that happening, Kyle was empowered by an ancient tree.
He said he was able to sign with the tree spirits and manipulate the plants.
And he was reunited with Tanatos in the woods, running around in the woods looking for me, who was stranded with Tanatos.
So I rushed to feel the loud sound of things and the fluctuations of magic, and he said that he had rescued me in time for a haircut.
But when I hear this story, I think about the existence of the Spirit.
Given Fontana's superior magic, which I can use [Ice Essence Summoning], the first person to be head of the Fontana family would undoubtedly have signed with the Ice Spirit.
The act of spirits and humans entering into covenants should have been in place for quite some time.
And that's the same for eastern humans like Tanatos.
Apparently all Atmos warriors have signed with the Spirit to get the magic of Giant.
That means that perhaps the original ancestors of the aristocracy are often those who have made a covenant with the Spirit.
Looks like if you sign with the Spirit, you'll have limited attributes, but you'll be free to manifest magical phenomena for what you want, and it's easy to make spells.
Until now Kyle couldn't magically manipulate plants either, but now that he's signed with the tree spirits, he seems to be able to do a lot of things easily.
"Yes, I'll tell Kyle, will you please keep the offensive spells from being made? All of a sudden, all the Reed people might have attack magic."
"Oh, well. That's what happens when you make a spell, isn't it? Okay, Brother Ars."
You might want to do some more research on the Spirit.
but that would be good later.
I applied the herb Kyle collected for me to my chest as an ointment in the way I learned to make medicines for my meme, and rested overnight.
I really wanted to rest my body longer, but even though I defeated the Immortal Bone Dragon, these woods are dangerous.
There are many other dangerous creatures, such as big pigs and ghosts.
That's why I decided to get out of the woods as soon as possible rather than resting my painful body.
We started moving the next day and then managed to leave the woods safely, although it took many days.
