We Live in Dragon's Peak

I descend into a dark forest of loud and fierce noise.

Strong winds ran through the trees violently, and when caught off guard, they managed to connect their bodies to the ground and stop them, exploring the signs around them.

A dozen signs of people. It blends well into the existence of the forest. However, I don't see him.

Not as good as the unshielded sky, but a large amount of rain hit him with a storm and he can't even keep his eyes open properly.

I stare into thin open eyes and look around, but all I see is the darkness that ripples into the winter storm.

Cold Shizukuishi relentlessly dipped her cheeks, drooling and staining her clothes. I had to rush to settle for a sense of crisis in the cold air that would further take my body temperature away from my frozen body, freeing up my powers.

Just saying we've found a new prey, the demons gather here.

Something that moves heavily closer by stepping on the soaked land of the woods with sloppy, sloppy, and muddy. Something that travels fast from branch to branch of a tree, flying around like a monkey. Something that flies in like swimming among the trees.

Even if I couldn't see it in the storm and night darkness, I was capturing the signs of the demons gathering for this one from around by stretched dragon air.

"Elnea!"

"Yeah. Guys, don't move!

I didn't just draw attention to Mr. Carly, who sets up a bow and arrow beside him, and Kate, who is concentrating on serving the Spirit.

He issued a warning with his utmost voice to the ear elders lurking in the woods, yet to be seen.

Did you get my voice? [M]

It may not have been conveyed in the hustle and bustle of the storm.

But you must have noticed my signs.

You could have felt the power I unleashed. [M]

A dark cloud dominating the sky dazzled.

For a moment, the midnight forest lit up like daylight.

A giant software demon like a slug was crawling by without sound. A tree giant with hands and feet like the roots of a plant was imminent. I saw countless demons of the sphere and demons of unspeakable appearance.

But what I saw was really in a flash.

Shortly after the forest was illuminated, the demons, shot by the infinite rain of thunder, vanished in an instant.

A sharp blade of thunder pierces the demon. The demonic terminator is scratched off by the Thunder, and vanishes without even leaving a proof that it existed.

The surrounding demons are wiped out, and large and small demonic crystal stones tumble down on wet ground. The Demonic Crystal Stone that fell to the ground was flown by strong winds and went somewhere in the woods without being able to recover it.

But no body, not if you think so.

I expand my consciousness and explore the woods.

Large forest that lasts everywhere. In it, I read the signs that the demons were infinitely overflowing.

"Yeah, where's the demon's nest"

He drops allowances and gradually lightning strikes toward the signs of the sensed demon. Thunder rain captures and burns demons relentlessly.

White sword I could carry in my right hand. The treasure balls embedded in the bamboo were glowing blue.

The demon itself is not so much a threat.

I can use a wide range of dragon techniques, and a thunderbolt strike is powerful enough to defeat even the Intermediate Demons.

But when one demon after another overflows, my dragon temper dries up.

Explore the woods carefully as it rains thunder.

Somewhere, there must be a demonic nest.

Singularities that produce demons. Crush it there and the infinite gushing of demons should also subside.

"Over there"

Ares' consciousness of assimilation reaches her head directly.

Which way is that?

This way? That way?

What interaction is not necessary.

Ares' consciousness and mine are shared. I understood naturally where Ares expressed her will.

"... Spirit?

I guess it's my fault. There is a place where the spirits gather. And that position was the demonic nest.

Could it be that the spirits taught you?

There are five demonic nests found all around.

When I gather some thunder in a rough storm, I slam it down into the demon's nest.

An unprecedented thunderbolt echoed the late night Great Forest.

Speaking of which, don't tell me what an even more whimsical question you raised about attacking the demonic nest and wondering if it would work.

But it seems to have worked.

The demon's nest, struck by the pillars of thunder, had wiped out evil beings.

If this happens, all you have to do is eliminate all the remaining demons.

Relentlessly thunderbolt the remnants of the fleeing demons.

Did the demons above be annihilated by Lily, or only a normal storm was left after the thunderous rain.

"Ugh, I got tired early on arrival"

I heard that the west side of the Great Forest is full of demons, but there are too many!

I was tired and almost lost my strength from my hips. Then he panics as soon as he is about to be flown by a strong wind.

"Keika Keika"

But unlike me, who almost lost her mind, Ares still seems to care about something.

I wonder if the demons are still lurking, and explore the surroundings with renewed thoughts.

What is it?

I don't see any signs of demons, but I feel nasty hanging around my body.

It's like they're looking at something, such a sign.

Could it be the gaze of the ear elders who still lurk themselves from vigilance around them? Or is there still an unknown...

"Mr. Kate, use the Spirit to gather the Ear Elders around you"

"Well, the demons around me kicked in, but if it sprang up again, it wouldn't be something I'd have accumulated."

Mr. Kate quickly serves the Spirit and flies to the hidden ear elders.

That's just a hand-worked spiritual use, and it seems like a messenger can collectively serve a dozen spirits.

As the spirits of the wind and the spirits of the water that were flying around the storm flew around, straw and ear elders emerged from the shadows of the forest.

"Who are you people?

Apparently, he's watching out for us.

The ear elders had a gaze at us when the wind went wild and the rain suddenly broke into the woods.

"We are from a tribe that lives in the dragon forest!

"Look, you guys. Don't waste it forever, let's get moving!

"We swept the demons around us, but I think we'd better hurry and get out of here!

"Of the Dragon Forest...?

"But the children of the people..."

"I'm not being helped, I'm being stupid! There are no serious injuries, are there? Then let's move!

Oh, sister skin!

I scream with a temper that Mr. Kate won't say whether or not. And he flew away with a spatial leap without waiting for a reply from the ear elders.

"And anyway, go on later!

The Ear Elders fly after Mr. Kate even as they are puzzled. Me and Mr. Carly followed after checking to see if anyone was left behind.

"If we get this far, it's a relief."

We rushed east into the midnight storm.

The ear elders who were attacked by demons in the woods were exhausted, but they nevertheless moved desperately in a spatial leap. Thanks to this, we were able to move on to a realm free of demonic signs, and we were to rest in a certain cave.

Rain gear didn't help.

I'm not the only one getting wet all over my body. We all take off our cold, wet clothes and someone who can serve the Spirit of Fire warms the cave.

Ah. Of course, I'm not naked.

To the point of wearing only minimal clothes, but caves filled with warm air are not cold.

Though, I just want to take a breath, but I don't either.

For some reason, Ares remains alert, doesn't she?

At first I thought I was alert to the signs of the ear elders...

Yeah, I'm still a little wary right now. Anyway, it's like they were raiding people's forts during the day. Besides, my gaze is gathering on me mixed with the Ear Long clan to use spatial leaps and follow me so far without delay.

But it doesn't seem to be the ear elders that Ares is wary of. And I, too, noticed the cause in a thin way.

Um, the signs of being seen and cluttering have not disappeared.

I can't find out what the signs are. But from the forest, where the demons were overflowing, to this point, there were definitely signs of monitoring this one.

"... first, thank you. Thank you for your help. But why are those in the Dragon Forest more here now?

The gaze of the vast majority of the people was poured on me, but the captain-like man turned to Mr. Carley and Mr. Kate and told them he was deeply grateful.

"We're here to help this boy, Ernea."

"The help of a human boy?

"Let me say hello. My name is Elnea Ease. People, but I'm the Dragon King. Dragon Forest Guardian Dragon Apprentice, do you know what I mean?

"... No way, people are the guardians of the Dragon Forest!?

"No doubt about it. You've seen Ernea jump in space and follow us this far, haven't you?

"Ernea is a human race, but he is one of our trusted companions and a strong man to trust"

Thanks to Mr. Carly and Kate, the gaze of doubt that can be directed at me is dim. Instead, it looks like you've got more gaze to show interest...

Whatever it is, I'm glad you saved me a lot of time explaining my position.

After my name, Mr. Carly and the Ear Elders of the Great Forest name each other.

The captain's name is Mr. Evans. Sounds like a long ear clan in the valley of fertile young trees.

"So, what's the requirement to be here?

Though they were forced to struggle by overflowing demons, there are enough warriors to attack into the realm of the people. There seems to be no life-threatening injuries, and we've been asking about our purpose while we've been treating each other with herbs and broken hands and legs.

Mr. Carly and Kate look at me as they help with the treatment.

Anyway, the two of you just followed me out of concern, and I don't know what the purpose is.

When I turned myself right again, I opened my mouth, under the gaze of everyone resting in the cave.

"I've been asked to help by the people of the Dawn Tree Sea."

"What!?

Tension runs into the cave, which was beginning to see a little serenity.

"I know a rough part of what's going on in this forest. I hope I can help with that."

……

"We're protecting Yun now. So..."

"Oh my God! Now, give that traitor over here!!

Then, blocking my story, Mr. Evans stopped talking roughly.

Mr. Carley breaks in between me and Mr. Evans and stops him from holding him to calm down. But Mr. Evans wasn't the only one who showed signs of impatience, and the cave was under further tension.

"Wait. We have heard about Yun's contraindications. But I have a reason to be her."

"That we have violated contraindications, the reasons for it, and so is that, but we will not tolerate betrayal any more than that!

"Betrayal?"

"I don't know what they blew in from that traitor, but if you don't, I'll tell you. It was that woman who sold the Ear Long Clan!

Apparently, Mr. Evans and the others have a stronger anger towards Mr. Yun about treachery than they have about contraindications.

Active in negotiating peace with the Giants were the Ear Elders in the Dawn Tree Sea and Wind Chimes. Mr. Evans' fertile valleys of young trees and other tribes showed difficulty. But there were no tribes that challenged the policy set in the Presbyterian Church or tried to obstruct it with all their might.

Although not all tribes were actively involved, it was the policy of the ear elders living in the Great Forest to at least watch over the peace negotiations.

But there's a traitor.

He interfaced with giants looking to invade, destroying the lost art of wrapping up the Great Forest, and inducing violence and killing.

Mr. Evans says it is Mr. Yun who is the tenant himself.

We only knew the story from the perspective of Yun and Gorigal of the Dawn Tree Sea.

To Mr. Evans' story, Mr. Carley and Mr. Kate were eyebrow-rooted and listening.

But I...

"If you're going to help me with the forest issue, let me ask you to offer me a traitor first. Earlier, they saved lives. So I don't do anything that makes them suspicious or hostile. Except for that traitor."

Ear elders who show profound gratitude for saving their lives and for their will to cooperate with us.

I'm sure this is the original culture of these people, ear elders living in the Great Forest.

That is why we show relentless hostility towards Yun, who has been contraindicated and branded a traitor.

But I still can't give you Mr. Yun.

Because...

"Mr. Yun is very debilitated. Plus, my dependable family is holding me back, so I don't think I need to worry about getting busted any more. It's important about Mr. Yun, but I'm also concerned about the Giants. You're already invading the woods, aren't you?

"You think you can't really give that traitor away?

"If you hand it over, you can't do it right now. If the Great Forest crisis is solved, and still, I'll be ready to discuss it again."

"Whose side are you on?

"I'm on everyone's side, and I'm nobody's enemy."

"Guys, we're not just on our side, we're on that traitor's side, right?

"Yes, not only that, Mr. Carly, but you are also on the side of the Ear Elders of the Dragon Forest, as well as the Spirits and the Great Forest. And he's not the enemy of the Giants."

"What do you mean?

The protective Yun allies, Evans, jump a little brow butt on the part, but even Carly and Kate turn their gaze of doubt to me when I make it clear that I'm not the enemy of the Titans when I say I've come to cooperate.

I look straight at that gaze. [M]

"I want to solve not only the problems of the Ear Elders and the Giants, but all those involved in the Great Forest, including the human race."

Problem with Mr. Yun's contraindications. The problems of the ear elders of the Dawn Tree Sea who have fled the Great Forest. Mr Evans, the problem of the ear elders left in the Great Forest.

That's not all.

The kingdom of Jortenitos, bordering the western side of the Great Forest, and the spirits living in the forest. Furthermore, I want to solve the problem of the Giants.

Mr. Carly sighed at me, declaring his nose rough.

"Being greedy"

Mr. Kate is smiling bitterly.

But this is what I came up with.

The reason I was recruited.

If I'm involved, you want to come up with the end I want.

Mr. Evans had his gaze pointed at me.
