The Branded Female Fencer

Guilty Sword of Oath, Part 58 ~ Hachi Forest ③ ~

"It's a creepy place. Even the graveyard would be a little more lively. Why isn't there a single organism?

"I guess I can't live. They could have killed him without one left."

"Or is everything paying for it"

"Don't you have one left? How dominant is that calamity?"

"Or the equivalent ability, or nature. Jabby, maybe the graveyard fits. Take a look."

Miriazar was observing the dead plants in the area, but he called Javawok by way of an invitation. When Javawok carefully observed the plant as it was prompted, it was not exactly the plant, but the carcasses of various organisms were solidified around the plant. It's like a mummy (mummy) sucked out of all its nutrients. Some of them had a human skin with a distressed look on their face.

"Oh, I don't even have a taste for it. All this around, could it be?

"You said you'd check, but you probably would. A man named Calamity lives by eating up his surrounding life. The very existence of it is only harmful."

"Even Giganotosaurus in the prairie would eat more. This isn't action as life, it's revenge. A bastard called Calamity hates everything in this world. This won't stop until I've sucked all my life out. We should kill him as soon as we find him."

"I think so too. But the question is whether we can find the main unit. So I came here."

"What can I do for you?

Rockroof asked, Miriazar answered.

"Uh-huh. Someone with convenient abilities for my men. It means I can reproduce the memories that were in that place. As long as we know the calamity, we will be able to find out the time of its occurrence and who it is. And weaknesses, of course."

"Well, that's a convenient ability."

"Um, it's also one of my trump cards. I have a few problems, but my abilities are missing among my men."

"Problem?"

"The fame heart is too strong. Therefore, while being the best in ability, you should not be in a position to command people. It's a shame."

"You want to see Yang's eyes if you have all that ability? Not for your men."

"Exactly. You finally understood that, and you offered to retire. I accepted it unconditionally because my achievements were so prominent, but my abilities were spared. I'm still making requests sometimes."

"Hmm."

Jabawok felt strange as he listened to the story. I was wondering if Miriazal would pull back so quietly. I have already lived for thousands of years, but I don't think this person's personality has changed since birth. Wisdom, of course, will come if you live for many years, but it still doesn't change the original temperament. That would be the same for rock roofs and rakes that are rotten edges.

I don't even think Javawok is good at the mechanics of human psychology in person, but I felt like I couldn't possibly talk about Miriazal. Miriazal has lived in man for a long time, but she is not human again either. And Javawok thought all the time that he was too virtuous but therefore could not understand such things as human beings who were not. Javawok also knows that this seemingly wicked female fox is soaked up in unexpected places.

Though I thought Javawok might take unwanted care of him, I thought I'd give him some advice just in case.

"Hey, Millie -"

"Mm, what's that?

His voice did not reach Miriazal because of Javawok's unusual and reluctant voice. And just then, there was a big hole in front of them. Because of its size, even if humans hold hundreds of hands, they won't surround themselves around. Nor was the depth unusual, nor did the sound return if stones were thrown.

"It's big."

"Um, this sounds like a little valley depth. What happened."

"Isn't that a tree?

When the lockroof pointed a little above, the branches of the tree did not grow just above, as if there were indeed large trees in the sky. It's still the same that the mood is too thick to reach the light of day, but it's certainly not strange if Ogi stood.

But Javawok objected as if he had been stunned.

"So, where was that tree? You're not gonna tell me you walked away with your legs growing, are you?

"I'm not saying that legs grow, but there were trees that also used roots like legs on the sixth layer and moved themselves. It's not funny."

"But that's about the size of a normal tree. If it's this big a tree, the way it's rooted wouldn't be normal either. If that moved, the ground would be clearer, yeah?

"Mm..."

Javawok's opinion is very straightforward, and indeed the perimeter of the hole is relatively neat. There is no way that something has fallen out forcefully.

In addition, Javawok suddenly threw fire at the hole.

"What are you doing?

"Look."

A lot of horizontal holes could be seen in the hole ahead of Javawok pointing in the light with fire. There are many that come perfectly to its shape.

"It's like a worm hole..."

"The guy who builds the nest underground is crazy. This is what it is. Some of them have bugs in their trees, so I don't know."

"Anyway, you mean it's hard to guess who you are any more? I guess I'll have to call the bars."

Miriazal wrapped up his thoughts and looked around. If we don't tidy up this area, the bars won't be able to get here first.

"Rock, how long will it take for humans to get this perimeter in?

"Hmm, where do you want a month? We're talking about destroying this forest, right?

"Fine. Perhaps Calamity doesn't have time to come back here. Do it right."

"Thank you. You seem to have personal feelings."

As Reiki pointed out, this battle was also a retaliatory battle if you try to make it Miriazal. It is a land where boiled water has been consumed twice in the past. So on the other hand, if this expedition is roughly successful and appeases, without the calamity at its core, it will also make me feel like I've been given a shoulder watermark.

As for Miriazal, I expected it to be because of some work to be done, even if I didn't intend to open up a full-scale end of battle on this expedition. The movements of the black magicians these days are hard to grasp. Therefore, it was the idea of three birds a stone to grasp the power for the future and to explore the field exercises of the Knights of the Temple and how to turn around with bold loose ends.

While Miriazar was relieved, she was in the mood for something big to miss.

"(Something is happening where I don't know. I've figured out that Arnelia's foundations are also at stake, and I'm going on thin ice, but it's a regular itinerary. Still, we're just gonna have to go, but I still don't get a kind of unpleasant feeling. What the hell is wrong with this...)"

At that time Miriazal remembered the feeling of total fury. It's not like being scared again, I got a bad feeling about it. Such an ominous feeling of being tightened from the inside, like a boiling of blood. She remembered several times for that feeling that pierced Miriazal's entire body.

It was Jabbawok who noticed the anomaly.

"Millie, what's going on?

"This is - how about, how about!

Miriazar was stopped by Javawok for trying to run out of the blue.
