Tower of Karma

Schwarzbalt, an ancient forest filled with black conifers.

It was always in the corner of history as a realm of things that no one else could. Once Nedeluxe sent the spear of God that he could not tread, and Estard sent in the brothers of Sid and Jed. But no one knows what this land is.

That was never even spoken of from the mouth of a man who was the only trespasser.

"What, this, this unpleasant feeling?"

"... frightened"

"Normal. There are no creatures who don't feel that way."

Ark remains on constant alert with a crease between his eyebrows. For a moment, for a moment, it seems as if the light of our lives is shaking and we are paying careful attention not to be able to stop it from disappearing.

"No sign of a creature"

"There are no ordinary beasts. In this forest."

"... a forest without creatures, is it?

"It doesn't make sense," he said.

"... Yes"

"Even if it doesn't fit. Be a reason for people. This is the inviolable realm of Schwartzbard, the age of man, the age of sorcery, and before that, more than the age of mythology"

Root fear wraps the hearts of the three. I don't know if it's magical or deeper, genetically engraved. He was only knowledgeable because of his relatively legendary Garnian royal origins with Ark, and was the only one in the wandering world who didn't try to step into the land alone.

On my own, because the lights went out just trying to take the option to get in.

"The forest is too deep to see the sky"

"I don't know the direction when the day and the stars are blocked"

"Don't show me where it is. I wouldn't be wrong."

Ark saw the shaking of a thin lamp or inside himself, and he was making his way. Technically he doesn't understand the direction. It was just that I was pointing my foot in the direction of the three of them dying. I wasn't supposed to go through with it.

It's not an area where you can be a knight king and step in with a sense of play.

Still, I chose this path because...

"A forest that doesn't bring people in, once you step in, you turn it into a labyrinth that won't let you live and return it"

"You've chosen a great path."

"... I wanted to avoid it if I could avoid it."

Because it was necessary for this Prince's lamp to be completed. Without passing through, there was an inexorable difference in light momentum, strength and intensity. Then you can't avoid it.

(Am I getting it right? Guru, don't shake it all up! I have no idea what awaits me. Even on the battlefield, the lights have never wavered more. Not even a servant vessel is immovable.)

Without Ark's lead, they would have lost sight of the way at this point.

The biggest cause of death in Schwartzberg was starvation as food ran out while wandering on the road. A forest of demons where no more than ordinary beasts can procure food. We've been well prepared, and we've been looking at long-term warfare.

Still, I can't wipe my fears.

It was as if my soul were screaming.

'Don't come in!

Besides, there is another major cause of death in this forest.

The three of them hid in the shadow of a tree and pressed silently. Nobody opens their mouth. An unpleasant sweat is flowing from all over my body like turbulence. Yelena and others were on the verge of fainting due to fear. Alfred could have been incontinent without her next door, too. Ark's a little old.

…………

One physical move, I can't take it.

If they find me, they'll kill me.

"...... grrr"

To that giant warcraft.

The monster behind them was more than double the length arc and the thickness was like a bear. The furrows of the obsidian cover the appearance with a hard, thick body. They look close to bears, but they are of different sizes, and above all, the atmosphere was not theirs.

Above all, my eyes, my eyes are crimson. Alfred didn't know those eyes.

And despite that sense of size, the footsteps are small. I'm guessing you're pretty smart, though. Anyway, I'm not a good monster for people to fight. My whole body screams that I should run away. If you hit escape now, you'll be noticed and killed.

Hence the only way to hide and lurk.

It's the only way to kill your breath, to lurk, to overdo it.

"... gone"

"Buha, ha, ha, ha. Hey, what is it, that monster?

"You've been on Alexis' adventure, haven't you? It's a big bear."

"Oh, do you ever have a bear like that!

"So, there is."

Yelena snuggles in.

"You can't win. The very fact that such a creature exists is wrong. Why is there such a monster in a place like this, and there are towns and villages around this forest?"

"That's the guardian of this forest, he says he's never been outside this forest at one time in his long history. I know you're anxious though. I don't want to get any closer than I know."

"Damn, if you don't get in, you don't even know. I can't tell him if I get in. Do you have no reason to be afraid if you don't come in as a result?"

Alfred takes a big, deep breath. Inorganic killing intent, a real monster I've never seen before. The overwhelming unknown I didn't think existed in this world.

"What, should we just not rush, do it over, dive through? Trust my eyes. I don't know what God is anymore, but let's take him down."

"... you don't look very good."

"It's an emergency! No way!"

"I can't help my legs"

"... Shall we take a break?"

"Um, no way to do this again, either."

"No Mengku"

Ark and Alfred sat down on the ground to match Yelena. It also seemed like a gentleman's behavior to suit Yelena at first glance, but these two, Yelena, just raised the white flag wondering if they could carry even Yelena-spec luggage anyway.

What I do not say is a small, cunning knight king inside, a golden knight combination.
