Kalia and Simon were startled as they looked at the forest filled with the smell of smoke.
Although it wasnt completely burned, flames were rising here and there beyond the forest.
Lets quickly go to where the fire started.
Simon, who was trying to move to put out the fire, stopped at the touch of Tierras hand, who grabbed his wrist.
The mole attached to her owners wrist pointed in the opposite direction.
As Tierra looked at Kalia, he suddenly realized that she too was looking at someone else.
That person
Her gaze fell on an old fairy coming out of a distant hut.
The old man was walking calmly outside without even looking in the direction of the fire.
It was suspicious.
An indifferent fairy who didnt even care about the fire in the fairy forest.
Smoke was even coming out of the small hut he had come out of.
The fire had started far away from here, so why was smoke coming out from the inside?
That was not the only suspicious thing.
Simon stopped short at the evil magic he felt coming from inside the hut.
Magic?
It was not the refined energy of magic, but a wicked force that was rough, fierce, and emitted an unpleasant smell.Rread latest chapters at novel35.comon, I will follow that old man. You check inside the cabin.
Kalia followed the old man, as if led by her instincts.
Kalia.
Simon grabbed her wrist just before she moved away.
Just an hour ago, they were kissing each other, sharing warmth and making love on a comfortable bed.
As fate would have it, it seemed that the two of them were always on the wrong page.
He sighed and kissed her wrist, not forgetting to cast a protective magic on her body as if breathing.
Be careful. If you get hurt even a little bit, Ill tie you to the bed and never let you go for the rest of your life.
Kalias eyes widened at Simons threat.
She laughed as if she found it amusing and then stroked his cheek with a rough hand.
Well, I wonder if theres a strong enough rope for this, Simon?
Simon trembled as he watched her run away after kissing his cheek.
Even though he knew she was strong enough, his heart was still racing.
He couldnt bear to see any more wounds on her already scarred body.
Just try to hurt her in some way, no matter how small.
He headed towards the smoke-filled hut with a cold glare.
Because I wont let anyone go.
As always, Simon will protect her back.

Its better to find them quickly. Otherwise, your brother and that human child will suffocate to death.
Tokan, who was looking at the calmly speaking Kanal, raised the power of his eyes.
On a pitch-black night, Tokans eyes shone like a wild beast.
Tell me where they are.
Kanal laughed.
Tokan, even I dont know that. Why would I tell you if I didnt know?
What do you mean?
It wasnt me who started the fire.
Tokan realized what he meant.
Kanal knew about his eye and had already prepared countermeasures against it.
He did the deed without even knowing it himself.
Fool.
As he wondered what to do next, Kanal showed him a larger image.
It showed his brother, coughing up smoke and clinging to the wall.
At the somewhat rough expression of her, Kanal furrowed his brows.
He stared at her intently before ignoring her and turning away.
There was no time to waste on whatever her identity might be.
That was when it happened.
With the sound of the wind passing by, a creepy feeling brushed his cheek.
A sharp sword was thrown in the direction he was going.
If you rush off like that, its too suspicious.
How annoying.
Kanal wiped the blood from his cheek.
She didnt seem to be a fairy, and he didnt know why a human resembling Gaia was here, but there seemed to be more important matters to handle.
I didnt want to bring this out.
He cut a long wound in his palm.
Then a strange pattern appeared on his palm, and black blood flowed out.
Something began to form from the blood that flowed steadily.
It was a demonic chimera.
So, youre a traitor.
She couldnt let him run away, especially since there was a chance that the forest fire was caused by this fairy.
Kalia felt the cold power left on her forehead and pursed her lips.
Noah.
At her word, moisture gathered and formed into the shape of a sword, turning into an ice sword in an instant and resting on her hand.
Kanals eyes widened.
Why do you have Nohas sword?
Well, I guess youll have to hear it from her.
When Kalia lightly brushed off the sword, the ice fragments attached to it fell off.
As if snowflakes were falling, the ice fragments scattered.
She added her own sword skills to it.
The sword of Kalia, covered in ice, slashes through the air. She swings it lightly to counteract the movements of the Chimera and chases after Kanal, who was trying to escape.
Kreur!
A deformed creature with the appearance of a demon, yet emanating the power of an elemental spirit from its chest, runs towards her, hobbling on a severed leg.
Its long, sharp nails attacked Kalias neck like a whip, but she easily leaped away, dodging the attack. At the same time, she amplified the swords cutting power, causing it to swell as if it were alive. It was her ultimate technique.
A living sword.
She controlled the swords size and shape with almost infinite precision, and as it grew to a size comparable to her own, she slashed it through the air. A crack in the air opened up as if space itself was being cut.
The Living Sword immediately cut off one of the Chimeras arms.Despite losing a leg and an arm, the Chimera kept running towards Kalia, as if it felt no pain.
Kalia lightly kicked it over, dodged the creature, and threw the Living Sword at Kanal, who was quickly fleeing. The sword, now an ice shard, flied precisely towards Kanals back. The moment it hit him, a spirit of the forest appears out of nowhere, taked the hit, and disappeared.
What the!
Surprised, Kalia hesitates while Kanal immediately called out for the help of forest spirits.
Stop her.
The dark spirits under his control crept out and approached Kalia.
Kalia jumped high, chilling as the spirits cling to her. She didnt want to kill innocent spirits.
Dodging the clinging spirits, she followed Kanal as he entered a gate. With a small difference in distance, she jumped to the door where Kanal was escaping.
At that moment, Kalia concentrated all her strength and throwed another Living Sword. Ice shards flied through the air.
Heuk!
And it landed precisely on Kanals shoulder as he stumbled before the gate.
I got you.
Kanal, in agony, stared at Kalia.
Do you think Ill stop here?
He crawled towards the gate, his face twisted into that of a demon. Kalia didnt hesitate and thrusted ice into his knees.
Aaaagh!
A terrible scream echoed, Kanal yelled at the door with a face that had turned into a demon.
Help me!
Kalia flung herself quickly towards him, avoiding the spirits that rushed at her.
But there was one who moved faster than her.
A black hand reached out from the dark door and grabbed Kanal by the back of the neck.
