To the forest of the wise (4)

“Fuck… .”

About four hours after entering the woods with enthusiasm, returning to the same place six times, I had to admit that I was lost.

When I entered the forest, I was able to move easily because there was a well-maintained road that was made by the villagers.

However, the deeper I went into the forest, the more the road disappeared, and I was wandering around the same place, fascinated by the densely planted trees.

‘Isn’t it some kind of magic?’

Of course, he was well aware that the forest was not enchanted by magic.

No matter how well he tried to hide it, the unnatural flow of mana did not exist in this forest.

However, each time they went down a different path, and returned to the same place, they wondered if the forest had been enchanted to chase intruders.

‘I came back again… .’

I sighed when I saw the words ‘The strongest feet’ engraved on the tree two hours ago.

This is already the 7th time I came back here. Swallowing the curse that almost came out of my throat, I stopped again as I headed in the other direction.

‘Here, you have to deal with it calmly and wisely.’

If you go forward without thinking, you will only come back to this place or get lost again.

I had to leave the stamina to fight Marang, so I had to solve this situation in the most efficient and wise way possible.

With that in mind, I immediately placed my hand on the hilt tied to my waist and shot forward.

“Baldooing!!

Footwork vacuum charm.

The sharp sword that flew forward along with Baldo cut the thick wood like a piece of paper, creating a great wind.

To get through this situation as efficiently and wisely as possible is to use the most effective swordsmanship.

Why isn’t there a saying that most problems in this world can be solved with feet?

For reference, a small number of problems that cannot be solved can be solved with a stronger footwork.

When the vacuum charm cut the tree, the birds sitting on the tree were startled and fled to the sky.

I proceeded straight ahead along the new path the vacuum charm had made.

Now that there is only one road, there is no way to get lost and return to the original place again.

As I continued to pave the way with the vacuum charm and move forward, I stopped walking when it was getting dark.

‘… If we go on like this, there will be no end.’

There is still room for speculation, but in this case, the day is lost before finding Marang.

In the dark, while consuming his stamina, he was anxious to deal with Marang, who is not just a witch, but a beast comparable to a young dragon.

Somehow, while minimizing the consumption of stamina and fighting, he had to pave the way and acquire a light source at the same time.

‘I didn’t like this, but… .’

I didn’t want to use this method at all, but I think the time has come to use the method I’ve been saving.

Putting my hand on the hilt again, I hesitated for a moment, then made up my mind and looked forward.

The target is the same front as before, but there will be no firing right now.

“foot… !!!”

I was about to go out with the momentum to cut down all the trees in front of me at any moment, but I swallowed my tears and returned the katana to its scabbard.

Pull out the katana and return it back.

As they repeated this so quickly that they could not be counted with their eyes, the scabbard became hot as if it had been heated with fire.

ね… ! It’s such a hellish time.

No matter how much it is for the purpose of baldo, I have to give up what I can do right away and lead it again!!

It was as if someone was taking care of my feet because I couldn’t do it my own way.

It is terrifying just to imagine that it is a hellish world where you can’t move freely.

‘This is all for Baldo… !!’

When friction is converted into kinetic energy by the frictional force generated during kicking, thermal energy, commonly called frictional heat, is generated.

This technology was a technology that had a terrible disadvantage that it had to endure hundreds of thousands of strokes, not just once, in order to use it as a technology that uses that heat energy.

It was so painful that I had to cancel and lead again for one shot, so I didn’t want to use this technique as much as possible.

But in order to achieve a more satisfying baldo, wouldn’t it be necessary to be able to endure such suffering!!

“Ahhhh!!!”

I spit out an energy that was close to a scream and flew forward with as much power as I could with the footsteps I had been holding back until now.

Deterioration of footwork

It is a technique that blows the ultra-high-temperature sword created by amplifying the frictional heat generated by the katana with speculation.

The ultra-high-temperature sword that was pulled out of the scabbard along with the katana sparked a flame when it touched the tree and went forward with the flame.

When I saw the firepower of burning wood with pure firepower without an ignition system such as oil, I had admiration but also negative thoughts.

‘… It’s a powerful technology, but there are too many shortcomings.’

The durability of the scabbard is also consumed, and other swordsmanships are also a problem.

It was a skill I didn’t want to use unless it was really necessary because it was painful.

As I was looking at the flame with that thought in mind, as always, something insulting my Baldo appeared.

[Footprint: Deterioration] [Grade: B+]

[Technology that maximizes the frictional heat generated when the sword is pulled out of the scabbard through speculation and carries it to the sword that is being pulled out. Yes. What is generated during kicking is frictional heat, not kinetic energy.

It is a technique that should not have been born that uses stamina and fighting spirit the most in vain among the martial arts that have been released so far.]

“Kill me, you fucking bastard!!!”

I looked at it with a serious frown at the sudden appearance.

It’s a skill that shouldn’t have been born. There is no such technique in the world.

Even though they have their shortcomings, they are precious beings born with a unique personality that everyone in the world has.

To prove that fact, I once again blew the heat towards the roaring tree.

The flame, which slowly migrated from one tree to another, like a plague, began to burn more violently as the heat was applied once more.

As if the sun had fallen, I smiled contentedly at the reddish forest that radiated tremendous heat.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!! Burn it burn!! Burn like a comment box on a novel from NTR Drift!!!”

Who can say that deterioration is a useless technique even after seeing this spectacle?

It was clear that the author who wrote that trashy article was also watching this scene and reflecting on his foolish thoughts.

If you think about it, it would have been nice to have done this from the beginning.

If you do this, a road will be built and a light source will be created, and above all, Marang will appear to protect the forest where its owner sleeps.

When you look at the flames burning passionately with the force that will burn the entire forest of the wise men.

– Kugung!!

The ground began to tremble like an earthquake with a loud sound.

‘earthquake? suddenly… ?’

A natural phenomenon is not a person, and it did not happen while observing the situation, but it is still too unnatural timing.

Perhaps it was not an earthquake, but the earth’s resonance caused by the movement of a large demonic beast, but no plausible signs were felt around it.

Reluctantly, he led the katana back and watched the situation, and then something strange happened.

– Kugugugung!!

The ground was convex and protruding like the crater of a volcano around a burning tree.

I wondered if even lava was protruding, so when I looked at the convexly protruding ground, what came out was soil, not lava.

Like a whale spouting water, the soil that rose upwards hit the wood fire.

The fire in the constantly pouring soil gradually diminished, and only the blackened wood was left, which was completely extinguished.

“what is this?”

I looked at the scene and said something out of the ordinary when I heard an unfamiliar voice from behind.

“That’s what I’m going to say.”

Rather than startled by the fact that the wolf was simply caught behind, I immediately turned around and looked at the person who spoke.

‘tree?’

When I looked back, a small sprout that had not been there before sprouted and began to grow in an instant at an abnormal rate.

The tree, which had grown from a sprout to an old tree that must have been around for hundreds of years, had a face in the shape of an old man.

‘Are you a spirit?’

If it is a spirit that is united with nature, it is only natural that it does not feel a presence.

When I saw him, I remembered the spirit of the earth who announced the death of Pier, and I guessed that he was the spirit in the story.

“You who pollute the land where the wise sleep. Why are you making such a fuss?”

He didn’t feel any hostility, but his tone wasn’t particularly favorable either.

I told the spirit without letting go of the hilt, just in case there might be an emergency.

“… Why are you making a fuss?”

“Yes. This is the land of rest where the wise man sleeps. It is not a place to be defiled with vulgar desires.”

The vulgar desire was annoying, but I tried to ignore it and continued.

“Is there a wolf named Marang here? I came to hunt it.”

“… … that’s stupid Robo is only protecting his master. If you don’t approach it, there’s no threat.”

Robo? Is that Marang’s name?

The name of the beast that will soon die anyway, roughly shoved it into the corner of my head and continued to say.

“I didn’t come here to kill you because it was a threat. I’m here to kill you because it’s good for me.”

“benefit… ?”

After briefly explaining why he was here, he said, crumpling his wooden facial muscles.

“… I’ve seen so many fools over the past 200 years, but none like you.”

“I’m used to hearing those words often.”

“… … Is it like that? I won’t say anything bad. I will open the way for you to the village. go back that way I do not want to defile the land where the wise man sleeps with blood.”

“… Whose blood are you talking about? you? Or a bastard named Robora?”

With those words, an evil atmosphere began to flow between me and this unknown spirit.

The spirit sighed and retreated first in the harsh atmosphere, no matter who attacks first.

“… No matter how much I say, it doesn’t seem like your intentions will change. Then go, go and die.”

With those words, the tree that served as the spirit’s body rotted and rotted at the same speed as its growth rate.

[Look behind you.]

His voice came from all over the forest.

After hesitating for a while, looking back, the blackened trees were split sideways by the flames, and the road turned into a dreary one.

[There is a robo at the end of the road. Go see it. The power of the King of Kings who stayed by Pierre’s side with me.]
