Chapter 366 Forest And Boundary

In a forest surrounded by big, green, lush trees, two young-looking adventurers walked, calmness, and genuine happiness covering their faces.

The forest they walked through was large and dark, and the narrow sunlight passing through the leaves created a wonderful view.

The voice of the calm forest was tranquil. The voices of birds, and small creatures, and the smell of earthly soil were also fresh.

Mixed in this fresh smell was an even more fresh smell of beastly blood, the metallic smell that most adventurers are familiar with.

The green forest, gentle sunlight, soft, fertile soil, small rocks in their path, small creatures of this forest, the strong tree trunks painted with the different colored blood of the bigger, stronger, and foolish creatures that tried to attack them, they didn't mean much to this duo who walked through the forest with a calm expression. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Both of them looked young. So young that they shouldn't be in a dangerous forest like this one.

But the blood from the big corpses that had painted almost half of the tree trunks was doing of the two of them who had killed these creatures without a single drop of sweat.

Looking closely at these big corpses, it was even easy to tell that they were killed instantly as if their lives were taken away even before they had the chance to think.

They must have approached the two young people but the way their eyes were wide open, their bodies either having a large hole or deep cut, and the fresh blood all over the place, it was clear that they were killed instantly.

And this number didn't increase after a certain time, the creatures that wanted to aim at the two of these young people had felt instinctive fear and threat to their lowly lives after seeing the deaths that even they didn't know when, or how happened.

The creatures that had waited before approaching the two of them felt relieved and they knew... the two monsters that had appeared in their habitat can kill them anytime they wanted but… they were shown mercy.

Any wild animal would know what this kind of great mercy meant so the remaining creatures just backed off, leaving the two monsters alone.

They all were just mere (Red) or (Orange) ranked creatures, and they knew they had no chance against these two small-looking monsters.

In their eyes, the two of them were already great demons and they accepted their mercy with bowed heads and just vanished, clearing their path, and not even daring to think of approaching them.

On the other hand, the two young ones that had been perceived as great demons by the small, cute, creatures of the forest were checking the bodies of the creatures they had killed without any hesitation.

There was an amazing-looking scythe in the girl's hand, and this scythe wasn't covered by blood even after killing tens of beasts in this area.

It was a beautiful white scythe, and one knowledge in artifacts could tell just from a glance that this was no normal weapon.

And same was true for the boy, who had a silver quiver hanging on his waist and a simple-looking wooden bow on his back.

They were checking each corpse one by one.

The boy cut open the bodies of creatures that looked like either, deer, horses, monkeys, snakes, or some birds, shoving his hands in their bloody bodies, and trying to find something inside it.

His work was just this much and he didn't find anything even after cutting every single body in the area.

They could only blame the young girl's bad luck for this. There were tens of bodies in this area after all.

Normally, they should have at least found something. But lady luck wasn't with them this time.

Actually, the small creatures of this forest were just small fry, even though there were many so they weren't expecting much.

But not getting anything could only make them sigh in disbelief.

Well... they can't do anything about that so the young girl just used her skill [Dismantle corpses], and a black light covered one corpse at a time and the bodies were separated into different parts.

Internals and blood on one side, which mainly wasn't of any use, the skin, teeth, and bones, the main materials of a beast's body, and eyes, heart, or internal parts that were useful in alchemy or other practices.

This skill could also separate the energy nucleus or skill stone if there was one but the girl had terrible luck, he wouldn't let her touch the corpses first even if she wanted.

The two of them finished their work after gathering the useful things from the beast corpses, and the young boy praised the girl for her great skills.

"Good work."

He said while petting her head and she accepted his gentle, clean hand with a pleasant smile.

They continued forward after cleaning out the area with some magic and proceeded forward.

Their destination was already set and both of them were perfectly prepared for what was to come.

It had been three days since the young boy Eon's birthday, and they had finished the training they would need for their raid.

The too much careful young Eon was confident this time, and he enjoyed his birthday with great happiness.

He was still thankful and thinking about it but their goal right now was the secret dungeon that will most definitely have far greater difficulty than what the girl had faced.

So he had prepared weapons, arrows, medicines, food, and strategies that might be actually just too excessive but from his point of view, this was the bare minimum.

They had also made and perfected a small combination attack that might come in handy so they were just excited.

And there were definitely problems for them at first, like his mom and her grandmother's restrictions and nagging, but they couldn't stop the determined girl.

They failed to convince her that it was alright and that her grandmother was ok but the girl was also determined to just go there and obliterated that accursed being that dared to lay their dead hands on her dear grandma.

The young-looking old witch was stubborn and no one could do anything when she had already made up her mind, not even her dear friend that walked beside her right now.

Anyway, they were walking in the dark forest filled with rays that made their way to the ground through all the great tree leaves.

The forest was immense, and finding a particular place in this big forest was actually a difficult task.

But for the two of them, it was much easier than a knight party.

They had far fewer obstacles in their path and it was too easy agast whatever creature they were fighting.

It was fine, and... with the help of her marvelous black crow, who perfectly remembered the location of the boundary leading to the dungeon, they reached their destination even before the evening.

"Good work Branwen~."

She gently stroked the gorgeous feathers of her big crow with a cheerful smile and the crow almost blushed because of his master's touch.

This young girl did not think much of the old crow's feelings as they were his normal reaction to her but the boy with her could definitely understand the position and feelings of the old crow.

Well, he couldn't do anything about this even if he wanted to so it was fine in the end.

They were standing before a weird big tree with blue leaves and there was a big cut in this tree, almost a large crack that made it possible for a single person to pass through.

The tree trunk was light brown, while the leaves were all blue so the tree itself looked peculiar but the crack was also strange.

The girl nodded at him after the crow went inside his mark and spoke in an excited manner.

"The boundary."

Boundaries were special places with rare phenomena called [Space distortion].

By passing through these certain places, people cross [Space-time] and reach unknown locations in uncertain worlds or realities.

Not many can find these special boundaries and they are mostly just discovered by luck or unexpected circumstances.

But some special people like Rein can actually see these boundaries and that is a super special ability.

Not even the young boy Eon's eyes can perceive the boundaries but she can and he naturally found it fascinating.

In her eyes, this crack in the tree that almost looked like a gate, looked pure void, as if there is a long cave behind this...

But this was the entrance for them. Entrance to the house of the enemy they must defeat. The girl, at least, was dead set on obliterating that wretched evil corrupted soul.

"Last time grandma and I were here, we faced some low-ranked creatures, then in the middle parts, there were some undead creatures, and lastly there was a corrupted undead captain.

Overall, we judged it was red to the orange-ranked dungeon. But when the knights came, their reports stated it was a mid-orange ranked dungeon.

The monster reports were also different and stronger than expected so they just retreated after the basic evaluation. There was nothing more suspicious or something that indicated the cause of her illness.

If not for you, I would never have thought there was a possibility of her being coursed. Tha-"

"Okey. Step back for a moment. Lemme check something here."

She was starting to get emotional so he just interrupted her and took a step forward.

Both of them were just standing before this tree and there was a cave on the other side of this boundary.

And that cave was the dungeon they had to clear.

It would certainly be difficult to capture a dungeon all by themselves but… they weren't afraid.

They were confident that the two of them could capture this one and the boy also had the light attribute spells, so they weren't worried about the weak undead.

So... after his interruption that clearly meant for her to not go all emotional, he stood before the tree, put his hand just before the start of the boundary, and closed his eyes.

This was confusing and surprising but she didn't question his actions right now.

She could tell just from looking at him, he was serious about whatever he was doing right now.

His eyes were closed, his hands stretched out before the entrance of the boundary, and then... a pure white light came out of his hand, and something flew out of it...
