Chapter 128 – Witch’s Forest – 1
In a forest full of trees.
In an ordinary forest, only the quiet sounds of birds and insects would be heard, but the place I am walking right now is far from those things.
“It’s a bloody forest.”
Even if you activate your body just a little bit with mana, you can hear the cries of nearby monsters.
It would be impossible for an ordinary person to get out of here alive.
As proof, even though it has only been two hours since I entered this forest, I have already had to fight monsters several times.
“It certainly seems like a witch would live in a place like this.”
According to information obtained from Leia, a witch lives here.
A witch with a beautiful appearance and subordinate to the devil.
It was said that she had a beautiful appearance, so she couldn’t help but be interested in men.
Because of that, she was able to tolerate the tedious task of just walking through the forest and killing monsters that attacked her.
“I guess coming here blindly wasn’t a good choice.”
Even if you knew that they were in this forest, it was not easy to find a single person in this vast forest.
Since she is a major force in the Demon King’s army whose identity has been hidden from the beginning, it is unlikely that she will be easily found.
The reward for acting impulsively was to focus on my surroundings and walk aimlessly.
At first, I acted secretly, avoiding monsters, but since there were so many monsters, it was much easier to just go ahead and destroy them outright.
“Still, it might be a good thing that I’m stronger than before, and it’s not just a bother.”
A forest so dangerous that for an ordinary person, death is certain the moment they enter.
But for me now, it was just a walk.
Thanks to my characteristic of becoming stronger the more I live a debauched life, most monsters are no longer an opponent for me.
Thump- thump-
While I was walking leisurely, I heard a sound as if a huge object was moving.
The somehow familiar sound aroused my curiosity, and it was growing louder towards me.
Boom – boom –!
The huge object only revealed itself after it got quite close due to the dense trees.
“Kooooo! “
A bizarre monster that looks like a huge lump of flesh in the shape of a human.
It was an ogre I had seen once before.
“Hey~ It’s been a while.”
A huge height equivalent to a huge tree.
A crudely carved club.
The guy who looked like he could easily crush a person took on a hostile stance as soon as he spotted me.
“Keuuuuu-“
But surprisingly, the guy didn’t rush in right away.
If I had run away like before, I would have rushed at him out of instinct, but he was glaring at me as if he couldn’t understand the unexpected situation.
Ogres reign at the top of the food chain.
To him, both humans and monsters run away.
However, he reacted with a mixture of caution and curiosity to my confident attitude.
“It definitely feels a bit different from the past.”
In the past, when I ran away from this guy, my survival instinct rang a loud warning sound.
But now it was as peaceful as if I saw a passing ant.
“Kooooo!”
The patience of the ogre who was searching was not very long.
From the beginning, it just lives by recognizing other living things as beings that can only be preyed upon by it.
Because of this, unlike other creatures that have developed the ability to quickly distinguish between threatening creatures, their sense of crisis was weak.
Thud-! Boom!
The ogre lunged at me, taking a stance to swing the club with all its might.
It was a clumsy and clumsy movement unlike that of a trained human, but that alone was more than enough to crush an ordinary person’s body.
“I was just bored, but it turned out well.”
The distance from the ogre narrowed in an instant.
He swung the club with speed, force, and weight, and the sound of tearing the air echoed through the forest.
Hehe!
He extends his hand toward a club with enormous kinetic energy.
The ogre howled as if it was laughable, and finally his hands clashed with the huge club.
Wow~!!
A sound as if the entire forest was vibrating.
The result that emerged was something he did not expect.
“As expected…”
The hand that hit the club was fine.
Although his stance was unstable, and he was pushed to the side a bit, there was no physical impact and the ogre howled at something he couldn’t understand.
“Keuuuuu! “
The guy went crazy and tried to swing the club.
However, no matter how much damage there was, I had no hobby of being beaten like a dog with a dog blade.
“Thanks to you, it was fun.”
Quickly pull out your sword and swing it towards the guy’s body.
The sword energy that spewed out from the sword filled with mana tore apart the part containing the ogre’s heart and brain, and it turned into a large corpse.
“No matter how good your recovery is, if you die instantly, it’s over.”
The corpse of an ogre falls down with a heavy sound.
When I saw my opponent, who I had previously tried to run away from, fall in vain, I felt myself becoming stronger.
“Then let’s go look for it again.”
As I was about to take a step, a voice I had never heard before came right behind me.
“He was a pretty useful guy, but it’s a shame.”
What was felt along with the beautiful voice of a woman was the presence of a person.
I quickly turned around and looked, and there was a beautiful woman wearing a robe standing there.
Attractive, shiny purple hair.
Alluring black eyes.
The beauty with a provocative and seductive look glanced at her body with regret.
“Still… I’m glad I fulfilled my role.”
She slowly turned her head and made eye contact with me.
There was no wariness in the eyes filled with curiosity and joy.
A beauty who appeared proudly and suddenly in this forest.
Moreover, it was obvious who she was to anyone who casually looked at the ogre’s corpse in front of her.
In the first place, ordinary people would not come here and would not be able to survive.
“From what you’re saying, it seems like you have quite a bit to do with this guy.”
“I tamed this guy to get rid of troublesome guys. “I never thought she would be killed by someone like this.”
“Then it would be better to use someone stronger next time.”
When I responded leisurely, she laughed as if it was fun.
“Foot… That wouldn’t be bad either. I think it would be good if you played that role.”
There was no trace of hostility in her voice.
Rather, it was a seductive tone, and as soon as she heard it, a thought came into her head.
‘It’s clear she doesn’t know who I am now.’
From the Demon King’s perspective, I am probably the most hostile and famous person right now.
But that doesn’t mean everyone recognizes my face.
Especially if you live separately in the forest like this.
She may have heard my name, but her reaction seemed like she had no idea who I was.
“I like beautiful women, but it’s a bit weird that she works for free.”
When I spoke playfully, she slowly approached me with a bright smile.
The sight of her approaching with a seductive gait felt like a witch seducing a man.
“Of course, I don’t plan on doing it for free.”
“Then what do you plan on giving me?”
As she approached, her sweet scent stimulated her sense of smell.
My sexual desire was gradually becoming stronger due to her creepy yet strangely attractive body scent.
While she was thinking that it was a good idea to come here, she made a proposal with a seductive gesture.
“Power”
It’s strength.
It may be a pity for her, but she had no regrets about her strength.
If you just live a debauched life, you will become stronger.
But I probably shouldn’t answer honestly here.
“That’s pretty good.”
At her positive answer, she smiled seductively and slowly widened the distance again.
“I knew you would think that way. But there is one condition.”
“Conditions?”
“I guess I’ll just have to take my own test. If you reach my house inside this forest, you will succeed. If you die in the middle, you fail. “Isn’t it simple?”
Her smile was playful yet provocative.
If she knew that she had just defeated an ogre, she would not simply call it a test to come to her house.
But her sexual desire, which had already begun to bloom, had no intention of giving up, even if it was a trap.
“Good. I accept it.”
“I’ll at least make some tea and wait.”
She maintained a seductive attitude until the end and disappeared before her eyes in a flash of intense light.
She probably used teleportation magic when she first appeared here.
“Then let’s go.”
If you just caught her by surprise, you might be able to defeat her.
But what I wanted wasn’t just to kill.
The steps filled with anticipation were suddenly turning into running.
