The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

“It” traveled through the woods using its body to the fullest extent possible.

The surroundings were already stained with dark nights, and the creatures moving around the snowmelt mountains were already hiding themselves and turning them into adults, but that could not stop them from moving. Because its body is not suitable for travel and has not yet reached a reassuring distance. But even though I've been moving all day, I'd say I've been lucky for it to leave so that I don't get attacked by animals and demons and vice versa. Otherwise in a black jelly-shaped body that lost only as many attacking organs as a person's head, there should have been no decent resistance, just ravaged.

It has no organ that speaks the language already, no brain to think about. He was not aware of what he was running from, although he was following his defensive instincts as only a few remaining organisms. - That's why I didn't realize that the subject I was most afraid of was approaching the side.

"You're still here."

As soon as we hear a low, crawling out of the bottom of the darkness, the animals who should have been in the dark until earlier breathe out. From instinctive fear, or as if to extinguish one's existence, the whole forest became quiet.

Fluffy black feet descend right on the side of it. The presence of a child in a position as far away from the palm of his hand makes his surface wave. There shouldn't be enough thought left to feel fearful, but those who showed up at it clearly laughed lightly.

"The brave man seems to have given up his pursuit even sweetly."

Its body floats in the universe with flutter. It stopped moving perfectly to my body, which was not supposed to be grabbed anywhere, but began to travel to the universe on its own.

"You thought you could get away with this? From me..."

The move also seemed to me to realize that if he were targeted by those who appeared, there was no way he could escape.

The man, who suddenly appeared in a forest stained with darkness, narrows his creepy red eyes even in the dark night with a thin grin. The dark hair, as long as the waist assimilated to the darkness, was slightly swollen even though there was no wind, and it also seemed to emit something like a junction around it. The face that rises in the moonlight was somewhere glossy, although manly and neat, and it evoked a strange feeling that you should not touch, but still want to touch.

"Come on, let me tell you something. - Why did you, no, why did you try to involve that village to kill that human being?

Even though the man's words were doubtful, his voice was conclusive. He also seemed to want to know why for a matter he had already decided.

But, of course, that doesn't answer the man's voice. There was an air stretched out in the woods.

"Oh, yeah, you were, you got hit by a brave man and you can't talk anymore. Well, fine."

The man with a slightly blurred voice points his fingertips at it when convinced by himself. Then a few like black thread came out of it. The thread pierced it without hesitation.

――

As soon as the thread the man made it appear pierced, its body swoops as it creates irregularities. It's like an animal in a bag and you're rambling to get out there.

"Brave, God, seal, hold destiny...... who? ……………………………………………………………………"

A man who had been staring at the sight for a while looked bored and muttered. Then the movement stops.

"Did they hit the majority of the brain with a brave (that) machete? With such fragmented information, I can't confirm why or why... Speaking of which, is it that someone was forced to give that melting demon power? ………… there is still a mastermind"

From the words, it seems the man was fishing for his memory of it with black thread. But it was more unproductive than I thought, and it was like giving up.

"Fair enough. If" The Beginning Village "were to be involved, it is certain that something related to" those guys "is happening. Dragon King is right, let's keep an eye on him for a while.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

It opens the eyes of a man who looked like he was thinking. Red eyes glistened like blood, and there was cold air in the air around him. Animals who killed their breath and watched things leave escaped from the scene at the same time without suppressing their fears.

"I'm glad I was free to move in the meantime thanks to pretending to be dead. But I also had a hard time collecting blood scattered around me, and even though it hurts about my fingertips if I'm still stabbed, what hurts hurts hurts. You know that, right? I hurt."

As it is crushed by external pressure, when its body is distorted, it can be bounced and can no longer retain its shape. I started liquefying it. It started separating my body on the ground by losing gravity while floating in the universe.

"... but well, let's just say it was my fault that I couldn't control my power because I had been pulling it off for a while and I couldn't force myself down that inn. If you fail to add or subtract subtleties and crush the contents of every inn, that's why the Dragon King will be angry with you, and the brave men who are gaining strength will turn to your enemies. I'm not going to lose, but I want to avoid trouble."

When a man's fingertips move lightly, some of that falls to the ground comes up again. Part of the return to those who remained afloat in the universe was once again stuck with the main body and pinched to undo it. The thread that was out of the man also goes straight inside. It was like playing with clay craftsmanship.

"Besides, that ability of yours is of personal interest. It also caught my eye... and I just wanted my hands and legs."

――

screams that don't sound like it. Once again, it creates irregularities, which gradually increase in mass and become a large ellipse.

"Be glad, I'll use it. Until I get bored…………………"

Eventually it swelled to the size of a child. Besides, something like a limb grows and begins to form. At first it was shaped like a branch. It also changed over time. And when it became a man's hands and feet, the body that was floating in the universe fell to the ground.

"... Ha...!

I finally raised my voice. The surface of it was black at first, but gradually the skin tone became closer to people. The shape of the face, which seemed to have no irregularities, also gradually changed to that of a person. Eventually, the face that I was able to do had no characteristics, and if I were to say so, my eyes were thin and red vertically and my brown brunette cut off at the neck was about to catch my eye.

The look of it, at first glance, looks like a human boy under ten. However, it was obvious that those who knew the quality and quantity of magic were demonic.

"What do you say, how does it feel to be reborn...? I didn't have much left, so I don't think it would be inconvenient to see a child."

"Haa… ha……………………"

He stares at his body flashly - the man speaks to whoever has become a boy, standing still.

The boy who rocked his body in that voice looks at the man who created his own body again that collapsed and looks as if he had God in front of him. My eyes looking up at the man mixed with fear and envy, and my body was shaking slightly. By becoming a complete homogeneous species, it's like the first time I've figured out what this man exists.

"This whole thing....................................................................................................................................................................."

"- Keep your unnecessary mouth shut."

"Huh... Huh!

As soon as a man ran a line down his throat with his fingertips, there would be no sound coming out of the boy's mouth. The man glances at the boy with cold eyes as he suddenly loses his voice.

"It would be just right for the punishment for trying to tarnish this land... and besides, there are no kings in the Demons in this day and age, there are just eight rulers. Don't use that word again because it'll be a hassle. I'm Wonok, the man who waits for Fance to wake up. All right?"

Did he feel that if he acted against the man's will, he would be killed, and the boy shook his head vertically with selflessness.

"Hmmm... what do you think, have your previous memories come back? Otherwise, I can give him a little voice..."

To the man's words, the boy shook his head to the side. A move without a moment's stray was not something I thought was lying about. The trick also looks oddly young, even though he was an adult before. He was really like a 10-year-old boy.

"The previous memory almost flew in the attack of the brave (that), so naturally...... well if the enclosed magic is no different. Then we're going home."

Saying so, the man just starts walking in the woods. He who became a boy moved his fluttering legs and rushed after a man who proceeded without making a sound without hitting the trees in the dark woods.
