Chapter 238: 241

Chapter 241 - Stuck

　Is there really anyone who only Kyle can hear who would be in a place like this?

　I wondered that as we trudged on through the forest.

　We were traveling on foot in a difficult environment, so it was taking us a long time, but we probably weren't making much progress.

　Still, I kept moving forward, concentrating and looking for signs around me.

　I hadn't planned to walk through a forest like this, but I feel that the things I usually wear are helping me.

　The equipment that covers my body, the Demon Armor, is protecting me fully.

　Moreover, since it is made to fit my body, it does not interfere with my movements even when I have to walk.

　It also helped that I was equipped with my usual weapons on my waist.

　It is difficult to use my bare hands as weapons in the depths of the forest, even with offensive magic by my side.

　Incidentally, what I am holding in my hands right now is the iron sword, Grand Barca.

　The other weapon I was carrying, the Nine-tailed Sword, was given to Kyle.

　I thought the magical swords would be useful in a situation like this.

　Even Kyle, who has no experience in combat, can use it as a weapon that emits flames if he pours mana into it, so he can defend himself for the time being.

　However, there is also the problem of what to do if a fire breaks out because of that.

　And then there is Thanatos at the end of the line.

　This is very reassuring.

　Thanatos usually wears Demon Armor, and I have given him a [Hardened] brick spear that I had already created as a weapon for his humongous size.

　If we were sure, the fastest thing to do would be for Thanatos to turn into a Titan and charge through the forest, but I decided not to do that.

　I do not know what the hell is in here with us.

　For example, there might be creatures stronger than our ally Titan.

　Besides, he would not be able to maintain his transformation forever.

　Therefore, I decided to save him as a trump card in case of an emergency.

　I continued to lead the group, my spirit draining.

　It was hard enough to keep walking while concentrating all the time, while nothing was coming out of my mouth.

　I had had enough of this and concluded that Kyle imagined hearing the voice and wanted to take a rest.

　It was when I thought so.

『Ars, below!』

"What?! Eh?"

　Thanatos, who was walking at the end of the line, raised his voice.

　I looked down as soon as I heard that, but I was too late to make a quick decision.

　There was something moving down there.

　But I couldn't understand why it was moving.

"Fuck!"

　The next moment, I was hanging upside down.

　My legs were wrapped around and pulled upward so that I was hanging with my head directly below me.

　But this was definitely not a trap.

　It wasn't something like the traps you might see in the jungle where humans use ivy to capture animals.

　I saw the whole thing with my own eyes, seeing the plant itself move like an animal.

『Thanatos, protect Kyle. The roots are moving and attacking us!』

　While quickly calling out to him, I swung Grand Barca at the thing tangling around my leg.

　As expected, the sharpness of the sword was enough to cut through it.

　Slicing my entangler, I landed on the ground, spinning mid-air.

"What the hell is this? The roots of the tree moved and attacked us."

　What was cut off by the iron sword?

　It was a tree root.

　It looked like an ordinary root of a tree growing in the middle of nowhere, extending into the ground.

　Rather, they looked more like the roots of a thick tree that sometimes appeared on the surface of the forest and interfered with our steps.

　But these roots had been here since the moment we crash-landed in this forest, and they didn't seem to be the only ones.

　I wondered if the roots of all the trees in this region could move and suspend their prey in midair.

　If so, we had wandered into a terrible place.

　There would no longer be a place to calmly rest.

『Ars, they're still coming!』

"Seriously. What the goddamn hell is this? ....... Not only the roots of the trees, but even the branches are attacking us?!"

　My bad premonition was right on target.

　The trees attacked us one after another as if they considered us a threat after we had responded to their first hanging in mid-air.

　Tree roots moved from below, gouging up the ground, and branches swung down from above and from the sides.

　I breathed deeply and kneaded my mana.

　After that, I distributed it all over my body.

　I sent a bit of mana to my arms and legs, but concentrated about half of it on my awareness.

　The mana spread in my sensory organs, such as eyes and ears, is collected to sharpen my senses.

　In this way, I continued to cut down the roots and branches of trees that attacked me from the surroundings with my sharp sword.

"What kind of training is this? Is this Mokujin-ken or something?"1

　I have to continue cutting off anything that grows and moves from all around me.

　Of course, not everything can be cut, so some things are avoided.

　Due to my senses being heightened by magic power, I am able to deal with all these projectiles in one way or another.

　However, there was the question of how long I could continue to do this.

　If this were to continue forever, I would eventually become stuck.

　And I wasn't the only one in trouble.

　Thanatos was also under attack from the surrounding trees.

　But he seemed to have a slightly worse situation than I did.

　He was with Kyle to protect him; so it was harder for Thanatos to turn into a Titan.

　The moment he became one, he might trample Kyle, whom he was supposed to protect.

　But if he stayed in his normal form, he would be late in dealing with the trees.

　At any rate, Thanatos was holding another spear that was small enough for a human-sized person to use.

　Because it is not a sharp blade like my Grand Barca, there is no end to the attacks by the trees, no matter how hard he hit the roots.

　However, the one who was placed in the strangest situation was Kyle, who was being protected by Thanatos.

　I don't know why, but unlike me and Thanatos, Kyle was not being attacked by trees.

　It was a relief, to be honest.

　However, it was a mistake to think that.

　While the tree was attacking us, Thanatos and I were being led away from Kyle little by little.

　It was only for a short time.

　But Kyle realized that somehow he was not being attacked.

　He shouted out.

"Ars-nii, Thanatos-san. Hold on a little longer! I'll stop these attacks!"

"Hey, wait. Where are you going, Kyle?"

　I turned my vision to look at where Kyle's voice came from, still defending against the tree roots.

　But Kyle was not in the spot.

　He was running and in the direction where he had said he heard voices.

　That place was further into the heart of the forest than here.

　Strangely enough, the trees did not interfere with Kyle's movement, even moving to clear a path — it was as if they were guiding him."

"Thanatos, use your spell! Grow huge. Follow Kyle!"

"OoooooooooOOOOO!"

　But it was too late.

　Thanatos had turned into a Titan, but many of the surrounding trees were more than five meters tall.

　In other words, the trees taller than Thanatos were not intimidated by the giant Thanatos and continued to attack him just as before.

　I was beaten.

　I managed to go on a rampage with the huge Thanatos and tried to chase after Kyle while blocking the tree's attacks, but it was no use.

　I wondered if someone might have been trying to stop me and Thanatos from going after Kyle in order to isolate him.

　By the time the trees had quieted down, I had completely lost sight of my younger brother.
