Chapter 918 00918 A Poisoned Chalice, Two. (1/2)

As the red sun sets to the west, the night has come to the Fairy Forest.

A dense forest and densely planted trees. Moreover, the fog of the night everywhere was dark and slender, and it even felt strange for some reason.

It was strange, of course. It was a landscape unlike any other forest in the world, but anyone who knew the nature of that forest would look down on the seemingly old woman.

The forest used by the Bondi fairy as a place to live is beautiful during the season and during the night. To be more precise, it is not because of fairies, but because of the influence of the water of the world, it is characterized by warm in the morning, fresh at lunch, and a calm and quiet atmosphere at evening.

I mean, the fact that fairy forest is like that now means something's wrong. Or some sort of case involving Wigdrasil.

Meanwhile, the same time.

“Ugh!” T ra nsla ted b y Ｊp ｍtl .ｃ om

Is someone secretly moaning deep in the dark forest? He squeezes his mouth tightly, but a leaky groan is flowing intermittently through his fingers. However, rather than sounding wild, I feel more strongly that I am suffering from pain.

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, my voice grew louder. At the same time, the frequency of groaning was gradually shortened, so the small room was filled with irritating sounds at the same time.

“Hah... Hah...”

Erwin breathes a faint breath, even though he has suffered once. The widow's body, lying on a pile of grass, trembles. The hair on my cheeks before sweating seems to be sticking to a pregnant woman who is experiencing similar labor.

After a while, one of the hard-working hands pressed down on my closed chest. Erwin is struggling with the mysterious energy rushing from his chest.

It's not a sudden phenomenon. Long before I came to the Fairy Forest, I felt it when I went to look for Eldora and Excalibur's dagger. Tra nsl at ed by jp m tl.c o m

It was just that at first it was a heartbeat or a heartbeat.

However, at some point, after Nimue disappeared for no reason, this energy suddenly became active. Whenever Erwin struggles with the long-lost despair and loss of friendship, his energy will slowly summon his body using negative emotions as food. And until now, it's been completely exposed.

The success of the germination of the dead seeds can be seen as the first condition in the environment. In fertile lands, it bears fruit without flocks, but in barren lands, it is also difficult to bud.

In this way, no matter how good the 'Devil's Seed’ was, Erwin's body was the worst environment to germinate.

However, no matter how rough the land was, it turned into a useful land, just as Erwin's body did. In fact, Erwin was feeling close to certainty. The more this energy grows, the more it will take control of its body and mind.

The brain of Erwin unseals the past sarcophagus, and Aslai senses the memory of the black smoke flowing from it.

“Phew... ”

Now even the sound of my breath trembles.

‘I can't... At this rate...'

Rarely breathing, Erwin stumbles upon memories of an unbearable horse.

‘I have to get there before it's too late.... ’

The moment I thought about it, Erwin's head flutters. He fell asleep exhausted.

Surprisingly, however, the body vibration still did not stop, but continued to tremble lightly. It was then.

Ser, Ser, Ser!

T rans l a t e d by Ｊp ｍtl.ｃo m As soon as Erwin falls asleep, something suddenly flows through the closed door.

It looked like a uniform gas, i.e. smoke. Smoke that glows dark red. Of course, no one knows exactly what this act is, but if Kim Soo-hyun were here, and he saw that act. Maybe he remembered Tanatos right after Ansol got in the way.

After a while.

Suddenly, the smoke that wrapped around the grass twists like a snarl flows straight into Erwin's body. Wherever there were holes such as eyes, nose, mouth, ears, there were no exceptions. The elf's body draws on endless smoke as if it were raining on a drought-stricken land.

After a long time, dark red smoke absorbs and disappears, and the body that constantly trembles suddenly stops and finds rest. At the same time, Erwin begins to slowly rise into the air while lying on his back.

By the time I thought about it for more than a meter. This time it spins slowly and extremely slowly forward.

It was a moment when the soles of the feet were slightly touching the ground with a half turn.

There was no foresight.

Just, the two eyes of Erwin, which were closed, opened brightly.

Aaaaah!

At the same time, it explodes like a red light to brighten a small room. It was so creepy and ominous that I couldn't even think of it as a calming eye.

“Hmm. Done. ”

The voice that followed was brief, but it was definitely Erwin's. However, I can't erase the feeling that it is strange that something is thick and dry. Even though he has been close for hundreds of years, he has an awkward voice that will make him look back once.

“Ugh... ”

I vomited a long time after holding my breath. Then, unexpected behavior follows, such as turning your neck to the left or to the right or to rotate your arms.

After a long stretch of relaxation, Erwin nods and opens his mouth. Tra n slated by Jpｍ tl .co m

“This should do it. Porcius did a pretty good job. ”

It was a clear morning where I could not see a single cloud as usual.

However, the mercenary castle, not just the castle, was truly a bustling atmosphere throughout the city. Today was the start of the first invasion of the Central Continent.

The first batsman was a former northern coalition that occupied the west of the city outside Atlanta. The expedition for the Great Lakes formed a group of close to 6,000, leaving the South City gate early in the morning with expectations and cheers.

Although there was no need to follow or escort them as much as leveraging the Warp Gate, most of the Mercenary Clan attended the expedition's departure. It is because one of the members of the mercenary clan has joined the northern union alone.

You have suffered twice on your own, but there is nothing you can do to activate the Warp Gate. (The origin, as always, did not show any reaction.)

The source of many farewells left with the expedition expressionlessly, and the members of the mercenary clan returned to the castle.

It's only the first day of the expedition, so there are no corners yet, but if the Northern Alliance builds outposts and activates the Warp Gates, it's best to be prepared for every moment from then on.

Vivian routinely makes her way to the ancient magical city of Maggia, but she doesn't stop until she reaches the front of the Warp Gate. They took the Memoria Stones in Maggia first, so they won't be able to get there until the Central Continent invasion is over.

The way back to the castle was as peaceful as ever, with the exception of the crazy running of a woman named the head of the Central Management Organization.

However, as soon as I entered the gate of the castle, a sudden summons responded. It was Kim Soo-hyun's call.

He hurriedly wipes his butt clean and climbs the stairs like a fly. Unfortunately, I couldn't break through the door of the office like I was running. There was a reason, of course.

Vivian peering through a slight open door. I feel as if my eyes have seen an unbelievable scene.

Tr a n sl a ted b y jpｍtl .c oｍ ‘She... What the hell are you doing? What's with the knife? ’

In the room, Kim Soo-hyun was looking at Jiggie, holding an excalibur covered in white cloth.
