Chapter 7: Blood Rush

”Please…hel…p…” (???)

Do you want to accept the quest?YESNO

A weak fereen haired person that ca

There's soirl in theis also unusual and suspicious but this one…how do I say this?

I can see through her

Literally

I can see the ground through her…this isn't an added effect of [Dragon Eyes] right?

I checked just in case for the description and it really didn't say anything about X-ray vision Only farsight and thermal vision

I natures behind cold objects like walls but I only see a red blurred silhouette of the heat

I can't see details like colors or the pebbles beneath a collapsed person

And…oh? [Dragon Eyes] has reached Master level…and the new effect is X-ray vision…huh? Then how coh her before?

I thought but Eu immediately answered my problem

”A spirit?Why would a spirit show herself to anyone? More importantly, for such a creature to collapse and ask for help…” (Euomun)

”A spirit?” (Lucas)

”Oh, yes They are different kinds of spirit, explaining all of the but this one here is clearly a forest spirit” (Euomun)

Then if this spirit is here…she must be [Dorville Forest's] spirit?

But if that's the case, then why the forest would be named after a monster?

”Spirits don't usually show themselves to anyone, hence, no one has ever heard of their names so the forest is named after different sources In fact, they were believed to be a mere myth by humans” (Euomun)

I see

Certainly, if the spirit doesn't show itself, then others would naturally ignore such a thing…but can Eu read ?

Anyhat are we to do with this?

I only have 2 days till time unfreezes

”Well, not o Eu” (Lucas)

I clicked the [No] in the quest confirnored till now

That's right, ould I help her anyway? It's not like helping her would cause world peace

For a while, Eu let out a shocked expression

”A-are you serious? Aren't you a [Hero]?” (Euomun)

”Wrong, that's just what they call me without my consent Hm?” (Lucas)

I thought Eu would be the one that will force me to stop so I had turned my back to her immediately but…in front of me were the monsters I tamed

Frole [Dorville] stepped out as if it were the representative of the group…come to think of it, I think this one is the first monster I tamed, Vil

”What do you want?” (Lucas)

Vil stretched out her hands…rather, paws, towards me

”What? You want me to stop and help this spirit forest?” (Lucas)

Vil nodded her head together with the monsters behind her and performed a series of hand…paw movements

Another quest confirnored it for now and listened to Vil

Do you want to accept the quest?YESNO

”Hm, I see If the spirit dies, then so will everyone that lived inside its forest Then why not just leave the forest?Oh? This is your home so you don't want it to die?I see…h…eh?well……fine I'll help her” (Lucas)

Cure the [Dorville Forest] SpiritThe spirit of the [Dorville] forest has asked you for your help!

Note that if you were to fail this quest, your tamed monsters that lived in this forest will hate you and will no longer follow you

Requirement: Remove the poison from the spirit's body

Difficulty: B

Reward: ???

”L-Lucas!? What just happened!? How can you understand those paw movements!?” (Euomun)

Ah…now that you mentioned it…

Well, even if you ask me…I also have no idea

Maybe since they were tamed by me, I can understand them?

Well, whatever In any case, their story was interesting

This forest…it wasn't originally poisonous Vil said that her parents told her the forest had only started to becoo

The reason was still unclear but the fact that the forest spirit wasn't poisonous from the start was the real problem

Unlike most creatures, spirits cannot learn poison resistance unless it was born that way fro, someone had poisoned this forest spirit which lead to the whole forest being poisoned

Also, this meant that this one had endured the poison in her body for a thousand year…to collapse nowher limit

At first, thethe humans for help but they cannot understand each other which lead to both sides fighting

They had waited all this time for someone that can understand them to appear Someone they can trust

It seeh I had already ta for help means that I can be trusted

Though tamed monsters sound convenient, that is actually just an illusion

In truth, these guys can free themselves if they want to and they threatened me that they will do so if I don't accept

I want to use these guys in the future so I can't let that happen

Well, can't be helped then Let's see e can do here

…By the way, the thought just popped inlimited to monsters?

”[Tame]!” (Lucas)

I looked at Eu and said chanted the keyword for ta

NoticeYou have successfully tamed the Demon Queen Euomun Ebrerohn Baresur!

”Pffft-!!!!???” (Lucas)

I did a spit take even though I didn't drink anything

What the hell was that!?

Is it this easy to tame the Demon Queen!?

I looked a Eu with a suspecting gaze

”T-that…I-I don't mind at all so…Y-you also res to y-you! A-a-a-and, y-you spared my life even when I already o-offered it! S-so basically-!” (Euomun)

Eu fidgets around with a shaky voice and a face tinged with red

”M-s to-” (Euomun)

”[Free]!” (Lucas)

I didn't wait for her to finish and freed her

”E-eeehhh!? W-ould you taht after!?so mean…” (Euomun)

I didn't hear that last part of what Eu said since her voice suddenly lowered

Anyway, let's ignore this tamable Demon Queen for now and focus on the forest spirit The other ta attoalready

Geez, hoas that even called flirting?

I grabbed the unconscious forest spirit still lying face down on the ground and turned her around

No a to cure this one?

+ + +

Eu looked over at Lucas as he pondered on how to cure the forest spirit

Thing between the to tame Eu so she can only watch Lucas in silence at the moment

”Geez…that Lucas, it was a first time for me to see a blueinstead of the standard red ones that I usually see from the status s…and to think thatthat I've been tamed…” (Euomun)

A o, Lucas had indeed attempted to tame Eu

Having the tae effect on the rate of ta Eu had learned of this from Slazore

If one were co ta to be taher

This had mean that Eu had already accepted Lucas to the point where she can be easily tamed

But at the sa was buried deep into Eu's heart and has not acknowledged it yet…that is, until she saw the unusual bluesaying she has been tamed

Like gears that i suddenly became clear to Eu

But since it was still all too sudden, she keptexcuses as to why she was easily tamed

But in the end, Lucas immediately freed her

”…W-what should I do if he thinks I' taht? Uuuu…h-he won't try to avoid ht!? Uuu…I wanna die…” (Euomun)

Though she knew that she should be helping Lucas heal the spirit, at the moment, her mind is still a mess and can't think properly

”But now that I'…I can't let Lucas die no o back to his home world! T-then…ether…” (Euomun)

”Eu! Hey, are you even listening to me?” (Lucas)

”Y-yes! I love yuuuplaz! I love Yuplazes!” (Euomun)

”What the hell are Yuplazes? Anyway, do you have any idea how to help this one?” (Lucas)

Yuplazes are small fluffy ball shaped monsters that are common in Demon Continent but Lucas didn't know that

”T-that was close…I alrave there…” (Euomun)

Eu breathed a sigh of relief as she erous bullet to the heart but she can't help but also regret

Regret that she wasn't able to tell her true feelings

”I wonder…is this war really love?” (Euomun)

+ + +

”H out the cause first?” (Euomun)

Hmm…certainly, if we know the cause then perhaps we can find a clue as to how to cure the spirit

Eu has been acting weird before but she can coood ideas if needed As expected from the Demon Queen

Though ht she said 'I love you'…in the end, it was Yuplaz…I wonder what that is?

She h chance that Yuplaz is a sweet or a fluffy animal

But still…to daydrea…what a demon As expected from the Demon Queen

Anyway, the monsters said that the cause was unknown, and the spirit is still unconscious which leaves us with…

”Vil, do you knohere this spirit hen the incident happened?” (Lucas)

That's right, o to the place where she was poisoned

Vil looked as if she was pondering for aso she beckoned us to follow her

Vil took us to a clearing at what I think is the center of the forest

I carried the spirit all the way here which led the poison to also affect me

The poison carried by the spirit was definitely stronger than the herbs from this forest and the roaned in pain

Ironically though, this led to the breakthrough that I've been waiting

NoticeYou have learned a new skill, (Passive) [Poison Resistance] Beginner LVL 1 (000)!

Having enduredantidotes, your body has started to adapt against the poison so it won't need the use of an antidote

Current Poison Resistance : 3

Good, that's one goal down!

I placed the spirit down so I can start investigating the area

I have about 5 theories

The spirit had unknowingly eaten a poisonous food or a poisonous plant Food aside, it is impossible for a plant in its territory to be poisoned without her knowing and do spirits even eat normal food? Anyway, that idea is also out

A curse from a God? But why? From how the monsters want to protect her, she shouldn't be a bad person…spirit But you never know? Nevertheless, the probability is low

Anyway, that's all I can think of just by hearing the story I need to investigate

”Oh yeah, Eu, are you already born 1000 years ago?” (Lucas)

”He of the [Dedom] and I just played by myself in my room all the time…” (Euomun)

”I-I see…” (Lucas)

”That tiainst the Humans, the Elves, the Dwarves…seriously, the noises were so loud that I can hear them in my room…” (Euomun)

Are you sure it wasn't your hearing that was extraordinary!?

”There were still no [Heroes] from that time so the humans were really easy to defeat” (Euomun)

H die?

”Since the noises were so loud, I got annoyed and hated war so I told papa to stop but he didn't want to So I said to him…” (Euomun)

…This wouldn't lead to his death…right?

While I have this premonition, Eu continued her words

”'I hate you!' I slammed my room's door in front of him and didn't let him in Apparently, papa despaired and killed himself after that” (Euomun)

I sla earlier

Iisn't enough!

What wrong with this world…enough…I wanna go home…take me away from this idiotic world…

Eu merely tilted her head in confusion as she saw

”A-anyway! After that, I was able to become the Demon Queen for about 600 years!” (Euomun)

”Though you were only a slave for a half of that…” (Lucas)

I muttered in a low voice but was still able to be heard by Eu

”I-it can't be helped alright!? Uuuu…” (Euomun)

Eu's idiotic father aside, listening to that story…maybe her father was the actual cause of this incident?

Though I still can't see why poisoning a beginner rank forest beside the [Huood……oh

Was that why?

That guy attempted to poison this forest in order to limit the food supply of the humans?

No…that can't possibly be it There's no need to use such underhanded ainst humans Eu said it herself, the humans at that time eak

So ould the Deinner ranked forest? The answer's simple

This forest isn't what it claims to be

Perhaps…this spirit here is the key for this world's peace after all!

I can't believe it…but there's a high chance that this is right…at least, I can't see any other possibilities

It's settled, I will definitely cure this spirit somehow!

But how? Finding the cause didn't help at all!

Unless I rong? But I really can't see any possible reason why she would be poisoned

It's possible that it was soe but it didn't feel like it

”Say…you father Does he have any knowledge on poisons?” (Lucas)

”…Are you accusing papa?” (Euomun)

”There's a chance right? No matter what, I will save this spirit So? Will the final boss finally step out and fight?” (Lucas)

I'm determined to take on Eu

Though I know just how insanely strong she is, I need to save this spirit no matter what

After all, this spiritthe conflict between the denore it!

H Eu, a demon, to end the conflict between hu?

Argh, whatever! Let's just do this!

Get ready Eu! I won't hold ba-

”Ah, no He was probably the culprit after all I don't want to fight you…” (Euomun)

-ck…

…

…Enough…taking this girl too seriously would only hurt my head…

”Actually, I think I've seen plenty of vials filled with strange liquids in his room Maybe those were poisons?” (Euomun)

”…Haah…in the end it's that huh? We should've went straight to your castle first, retrieve the antidote which is probably also in that sao here to cure the spirit” (Lucas)

This had happened to ames I played

Because I find it troublesome to search every nook and cranny, I would skip some parts only to find out that there is an item somewhere in those skipped parts which I will need in the future…

daame can still exist huh?

Ughhh…asted our tidom] as planned?

”Hm? No, I actually have it in my Inventory I took them when I was a kid since papa was always immersed in work and didn't notice me Hehe, you can say I was a trouble child” (Euomun)

…

…

…

I don't kno long I spent there standing still while looking blankly at Eu as holding different vials with different colored liquids inside, but it felt like eternity

Ugh…even though I already said that I won't take her seriously…daht fro!
