Gustave took back the magic circle he had made, as Dante said, the roots seemed to be able to absorb the magic energy it released. "Shit, how can we deal with it without magic power?" said Demian cursing. “We can only use the magic energy we have to increase physical strength or channel it into the weapons we use to create elements for attacks!” Dante answered. “Besides, what is the purpose of that thing, why would it suddenly attack us for no apparent reason!” said Remar. "Isn't that obvious, we have entered his territory and it seems only natural for him to attack us!" answered Diablo. "Yeah, you're right, if he's the creature Masamura was talking about, it looks like we have to defeat him first!" Cassius answered. Dante was now in a very cornered position, he couldn't do anything at that time, using useless magic, and he also couldn't move to attack with his physical strength. Those roots have now wrapped around Dante's entire body up to his neck, leaving only his head still
Dante suddenly came to his senses because the red locket that George had given him felt like it was burning around his neck. Dante now understands, he had just been brought by the creature to his subconscious to feel again the regret he had been feeling. The creature seems capable of transmitting a negative aura to anyone it manages to shackle with its roots. Gustave, Demian, Cassius, Diablo, and Remar were unconscious, they had now fallen into their subconscious just like Dante had just been. Dante's locket was getting hotter and hotter until finally the locket suddenly spit out a very hot fire. The fire burns all the roots wrapped around Dante's body and frees him from the creature's snares. As if not feeling any effect from the flames, Dante's body was not injured in the slightest. Dante who had just been freed immediately grabbed the Sword of Surtr which had previously fallen to the ground, he ran and immediately slashed at the roots that were now shackling Gustave and the ot
Freya asked what the purpose and purpose of Dante and his troops entering the forest was, according to Freya, no race foolishly entered the Dark Forest without a definite purpose, because the forest had been cursed by Nidhug into darkness. "I want you to bless our new weapon!" said Dante conveying his meaning. Freya stared at Dante for a moment. "Why should I?" she asked. "According to the gunsmith in our kingdom, the newly made weapon must be endowed first, and he suggested that we ask you to bless it!" Dante replied. Freya seemed to think for a moment. "Okay, I'll do it, it's only because you've helped me get rid of those negative spirits!" said Freya. "Before that, can you wake them up!" Dante pointed at Gustave and the others who were still trapped in their subconscious. Freya immediately walked towards Gustave, Demian, Cassius, Diablo, and Remar who were still trapped in their subconscious. while Dante followed slowly from behind. Dante greatly admired Freya's beauty, acc
On the way home, Gustave asked how Dante could wake up from his subconscious, while he felt trapped in deep despair at that time without being able to do anything. "I don't know, suddenly this pendant feels hot and like it's on fire!" replied Dante, showing him the red locket he was wearing as a necklace. "This pendant spews fire and burns all the roots that shackle my body," he added. Gustave pays attention to the locket that Dante just showed him, even though he can vaguely feel that there is a very strong energy hidden within the locket. "Aren't those roots able to absorb all the magical energy we release?" he asked. "Yes, but not for this pendant, I don't even understand why that could happen!" Dante answered. "Rather than that, I heard you shouting a woman's name while you were trapped in your subconscious?" he asked. Gustave took a deep breath. "Selena!" answered Gustave. "She was my late wife," he added. Dante who heard it immediately felt guilty for asking that quest
“I think they are looking for a scapegoat. This incident of course greatly tarnished the name of the kingdom as well as the King who led it! said Gustave. “Even though this incident was kept a secret to the citizens and most of the palace soldiers, they would still lose face among the other high-rankings like you and me!” he added. Dante nodded in agreement to that, he did not believe or suspect Aletta as Masamura's killer, he knew very well what kind of woman she was. "I won't let them do what they want to Aletta. I promise!" Dante replied. He looked at Gustave with a sharp gaze. ****** They got the next mission, this time humanity will face the Elven race in a battle they call 'Ball of Glory', the rules in this game are very easy, each race will be given a ball made of crystal, and they will be gathered in an open place to each other fight to destroy the crystal ball that is guarded by each of these races, who managed to destroy the opponent's crystal ball will be the winner in
The sun's light began to turn red, soon the sun will appear from the eastern horizon. The human race army and the Elf race army had already gotten into their respective positions, the battle was about to begin. Dante and Gustave were in the middle of their troops, while Diablo was now in the front row, followed by Demian, Remar, and his troops in the second line, and Cassius in the third line with his team of archers, while Aletta with the team healer was in the back row. The troop leader will fight the full battle, while only his men will do the splits. It seems that this strategy is not only used by the human race, the Elf race also seems to be using the same strategy, it's just that they don't have a healing team, the Elves have healing abilities for each of their soldiers. The sun began to illuminate the area, a sign that the battle had begun. The Elf race immediately shot their arrows, and so did the human race, they did the same. The Elf race had enveloped their arrows in
Diablo slammed his shield against Albert, the two shields clashed creating an air shockwave that blew away all the soldiers around them. "Nice shield, where did you get it?" asked Albert. "What are you asking that for, you're going to die today anyway!" answered Diablo trying to provoke. Diablo poured his magic energy into The Strongest Shield, the shield rumbled and immediately shot a wave of wind toward Albert. Albert was able to survive the attack, but he had to be thrown back several meters. Albert laughed in satisfaction, he felt that now he had found a worthy opponent. Albert and Diablo both had very muscular postures, Diablo fought using only his shield, while Albert fought using a shield and sword. "You better get out your sword!" said Albert, drawing his sword from the scabbard strapped to his back. "I don't need that, I can beat you with just this shield and my fists!" Diablo replied he did deliberately provoke Albert's emotions. Albert who had been provoked by emot
The human race army began to be overwhelmed, the healing magic coupled with the effect of the magic circle that Laulora created above the sky of the battlefield made it seem as if the Elf race soldiers could not die, they were injured, but even the wounds were healed in a matter of seconds. Dante tried to slash the magic circle with his sword, but Laulora always blocked him, every time he was about to launch a magic attack on the magic circle, Laulora kept disturbing him and attacking him non-stop. "I won't let you destroy it, just accept it and focus on fighting me!" said Laulora. “You have to defeat me first before destroying the magic circle, she added. The battle between the two was getting fiercer, now they were attacking each other using the magic energy they had poured into their respective weapons. As a Light Elf, Laulora uses the power of light to fight. She transformed the light molecules and condensed them, creating a powerful laser attack. Baaam… Baaam… Baaam… Laul
