Chapter 40

As one would expect, breaking out of the unexplored monster territory was no easy task; not even for Kurats

If he didn't use investigation spells to know his localisation as well as the direction he was taking, he would still be stuck in the forest, like a lost child

Although he did try to experiment with various spells on the way, that only served to once again confirm how clumsy he was

『Can't you suppress the spell a bitall your allies into you attack if you use this in a battle!』

【”I suppressed it as ic was so overwhelly powerful that it even injured himself On the other hand, his other, weaker spells were much slower and much less effective than his punches His spells went to one extreain this ht hiic

『How did it coht of dusk, with a distant look in his eyes And who could blarown up into adown a swar a natural disaster, Kurats had arrived at Lapland

Bolthron looked suspiciously at the giant in front of him

It was clear that his splendid body had been tereat endurance and agility

And yet, the es

Apart frole robe, he had no equipment No armor, no sword, not even a knife

Bolthorn had no clue why anyone would come to this place so unprepared

【”Who are you? And why on earth are you here?”】

Bolthorn looked at Tulle to see if he recalled ever seeing the man, but Tulle only shook his head in response

This meant that he at least was not a noble froh Bolthorn orried about the man's identity, orried him the most hether there were other people who knew about this side road

Depending on the answer, this could mean there was a chance he would be met with an ambush at the end of the path

If his troops were to ht road, they would all be annihilated, regardless of the eneht of this, but is it possible that Tulle didn't betray his people and is actually leading us to a trap?)

Now that Bolthorn started having doubts, all of Tulle's actions se far were beginning to seee

For example, would the duke of a country really betray his allies so easily?

Wasn't it possible that he was sacrificing himself in order to save Lapland?

But the truth was that Bolthorn was co Tulle

Unaware that he was under suspicion, Tulle had his hand on his sword, ready to seal Kurats' mouth before he could tell others about this side road

【”Hey, you Are you fro to Lapland's duke of Varandi, Tulle!”】

【”That's weird, I thought fore sure that the crest on the back of those soldiers was froard empire, but―― Oooh, you're a traitor, aren't ya?”】

【”H-how dare you!”】

Kurats' wordsstabbed Tulle right where it hurt

Noto be branded as a traitor for life

Tulle had not dared to think about it, but Kurats had er, Tulle pulled out his sword to go for a killing blow, but Kurats easily grabbed it and crushed it with the grip of his hand

Watching his sword that didn't break but was squeezed into a deformed shape, Tulle stepped back, terrified, and screamed

【”Y-you bastard, are you a monster?!”】

As for Bolthorn, he instructed his troops to surround the ht of, even though he was alone

【”Don't move Any suspicious move and you'll be impaled on the spot”】

Just who in the world was thisthat he was sent by another country, then as he sent alone?

If he was a one to the royal capital, Bernholether and turn around slowly… What are you waiting for? Hurry and do as you're told!”】

【”Good grief, you're thinking of restraining me? …You?”】

【”―― We already told you not to move, you asked for it”】

In response to Kurats' exasperated shoulder shrug, a first attack ca for his feet

【”I wouldn't o, but I really don't want you to pierce a hole through my robe, sorry about that”】
