I kept walking toward the forest.
But the land in front was no longer the original forest.
The trees were twisted, and,
The roots had risen above the ground.
Instead of green leaves, black leaves were hanging.
"Here too...”
Dryard said quietly.
"It changed."
The magical apostle looked around.
The “Erebos phenomenon.”
“Have you twisted even the life force of the forest?”
At that moment.
Black rain fell.
The droplets that touched the ground formed a small puff of smoke.
And something moved through the forest.
Thud.
Thud.
The mud cracked.
Mud predator.
The monster that had been hiding in the swamp has revealed itself.
In an instant, the ground was dragged in.
However, the magical apostle made a rock at his feet and secured his body.
"Another ambush?"
A huge lump of mud rose immediately after.
Swamp mud monster.
Some parts of the body were torn off, and they came rushing in as tiny mud creatures.
After that.
Black mist.
Corruption swamp ghost.
Rotten energy enveloped the entire forest.
Dryard reached out his hand.
This time...”
"I’ll fight too."
I snapped Lira’s string.
A clear sound spread into the forest.
Woong—
As the sound waves spread, the monsters’ movements wavered.
The mud cracks,
The fog was pushed away.
But the roots of the forest did not stop.
Click.
A black root sprouted from the ground.
A rotten-root monster.
The toxic IV fluid ran out.
And the vine moved among the trees.
Swamp vine hunter.
The hidden vine stretched out quickly.
Dryard played the lyre again.
"Melody."
The sound waves disrupted the vine’s movement.
The magical apostle raised his hand.
"Rock."
Ku-gung!
Mighty rocks rose from the ground.
The vine stopped as it hit the rock.
But this time, it's the upper part.
Something fell from the black tree.
Poison flower.
Spores.
Black moss.
It seemed as if the entire forest was attacking.
The poisonflower swamp monster opened its petals.
The poison powder spread.
The spore mushroom monster shook its body.
A white spore was carried by the wind and came.
The magical apostle extended his hand forward.
"Darkness."
A black magic spread.
The pollen and spores dispersed.
And black flames burst forth from the fingertips.
"Darkness Flame."
Black flames spread along the forest floor.
The black moss is burning,
The monsters’ movements slowed.
But there was still movement beneath the ground.
Something was approaching from deep in the forest.
Dryard looked around.
"It's not over yet."
The magical apostle nodded.
"I know."
then.
Thorns sprouted from all directions.
Smack!
But Dryard stepped forward.
“The Veil of the Wind.”
A wall of strong wind spread out.
The flying thorns were deflected sideways.
Even the poison mist dispersed.
Her melody sounded again.
The forest’s rampaging magic subsided for a moment.
The magical apostle looked at the Dryard.
"Your strength isn’t just for attacking, is it?"
Dryard looked at the forest that had turned black.
"This place was originally a living forest."
"But now...”
She touched the tree with her hand.
"I'm in pain."
The magical apostle turned his gaze forward.
The deepest part of the forest.
Beyond the black mist.
There was something that had not yet revealed itself.
"Let's go."
"We have to find the cause of this place."
The two walked again.
Twisted forest.
Black rain.
Moving root.
And into the deep place where the traces of Erebus remain.
I kept walking toward the forest.

At that moment.
Tok.
