The journey this time was more extreme than before. Loki ran with all his might. The time it used to take them to go from the Forbidden Place to Lockwood village was about half a day. But now they traveled in just a few hours. Loki ran so fast because he already knew exactly the route to take, unlike before who still relied on the map that Fenrir brought. So Loki's speed and the path that Loki already knew made this trip feel so short. "Soon we will arrive, my Lord."Loki had seen the border of the Forbidden place which was about a kilometer away from where he was. But strangely, there was no response at all from Fenrir for the information Loki had just given. "We are getting closer, my Lord."Loki said it once more, thinking that perhaps Fenrir did not hear what he said. But there was still no response from his lord. Loki, who felt something was wrong, stopped his footsteps and wanted to confirm what was happening. Loki walked to the edge of the river that was not far from wher
"What shall we do now, my Lord?"Loki questioned Fenrir who had just returned from the administrator's desk. Fenrir had just finished registering the mission he had chosen. "We are going to hunt Orc warlocks.""Orc Warlock? Aren't those orcs that can use magic? They shouldn't be a difficult opponent for you, my Lord.""It seems that there are some Orc Warlocks that have mutated. They are capable of using some human magic.""I've never heard that before."The two of them continued walking while talking about the mission they were about to undertake. "It seems that some Warlocks are able to take on the magic of the humans they feed on.""That is indeed possible, as each creature's magic ability is different, my Lord. Some do have innate magic that is different from others.""I thought so too, but it's better to confirm the truth ourselves. After all, this Orc Warlock is starting to trouble the adventurers who are in the area outside the Forbidden place."Fenrir and Loki had reached th
Loki, who was now transformed into a wolf, had managed to get a sizable redboar. Loki felt that this redboar was enough to be bait, although in his heart, Loki actually wanted this redboar to be his own meal. The soft redboar meat is so tempting for Loki. "I can't eat this redboar, my Lord's mission must come first."Loki made up his mind not to be tempted by the delicious redboar meat that he was currently carrying in his mouth. Loki immediately ran towards where Fenrir was. Loki suddenly felt a huge increase in mana inside his body. Loki's height, which was previously only around one meter, now grew bigger until it reached three meters. "What happened to my Lord? I need to get there as soon as possible."Loki accelerated his running pace. The distance between Loki and Fenrir was indeed quite far, because Loki was hunting around the middle and inner borders, while Fenrir was on the outer and middle borders of the Forbidden place. And again the redboar that Loki was hunting tried
Loki ran towards the interior of the Forbidden place. There were several monsters roaming the area. There were even some giant creatures that were taller than the trees that were also passing around Fenrir. They don't seem to want to disturb Fenrir, maybe they don't see Fenrir and Loki, or maybe some of them are afraid of Loki. This made Loki and Fenrir's journey to the deepest part of the Forbidden place easier. "What is this place, Loki?""It is the ruins of one of the demon king Behemoth's castles, my Lord."Loki stopped at a place that had turned into ruins. "Demon king? You mean the demon king that humans have been fighting?""Yes, my Lord."Loki walked towards one of the large stones that covered the door. Loki smashed the stone with just one scratch. After that, Loki opened the door that had not been used for a long time. "Actually, there are many demon kings in this world, my Lord. The demon king Behemoth is only one of them."Loki invited Fenrir to enter the front of the
Fenrir was already in the training area. The place was overgrown with various wild grasses and shrubs. Fenrir took out the sword on his back. Fenrir pulled the sword out of its sheath with just one hand. Although the sword was relatively heavy, it really felt steady in Fenrir's grip. Fenrir flowed aura and channeled mana into the sword. "Wind magic, wind sword slash."Fenrir slashed his sword and created a sword scythe that crashed into the grass. The magic looked bigger and sharper than the wind magic Fenrir was used to producing. That meant it was much better than Fenrir's previous sword as it was able to absorb and receive Fenrir's mana better. The wind scythe cut through the grass so easily and smoothly. Even the wind scythe was also able to slash through the sizable mound of earth in front of it and split it into two pieces. "This sword is so easy to use, it's as if it wants to invite me to dance with it."Fenrir praised the sword he was holding, Fenrir looked at the sword fr
Loki seemed to be thinking for a moment before starting his story, more precisely Loki was looking for where he should start the story. "Mentioned in history, the ancient mage and true demon lord were one of the few beings that were the original creatures of this world. They are the beings who formed the early civilizations on the continent we live on today."Loki sighed slightly before restarting his story. Fenrir was thinking about something else. Fenrir was thinking about why he was even associated with beings as great as them. "Then why am I always associated with the existence of extraordinary beings like them, Loki?""Actually, it is a figure of speech to describe the power of a person, my Lord. Someone who can become so powerful that they reach the level of the Ancient beings.""I see now, so they are all metaphors?""That's right, my Lord. But I believe you must really be able to reach that level. Your potential is indeed that great."Loki's words looked like a defense and s
Fenrir had just left the bearclaw guild after handing over the results of the mission he had just done. The sky was already dark when Fenrir left the guild room. Fenrir felt his body sticky with sweat and some orc blood that stuck to his body. Fenrir wanted to immediately go to the inn to immediately bathe and rest. "We'd better go back to the inn, I want to take a quick bath and learn about something.""Yes, my Lord. But wouldn't it be better if we filled our stomachs first?""Didn't you eat redboar meat this afternoon, Loki?""Yes, my Lord. But the smell of roast pork is so tantalizing. Besides, it's been a while since we've had roast pork.""Wasn't it just a few days ago that we ate roast meat? I guess all you have in your head is food, Loki. But fine, since we've already gotten paid for the mission, I'll treat you to a roast.""Thank you, my Lord."Loki looked so happy. Loki had imagined how delicious the roast pork would taste. He couldn't help but feel a little saliva running d
"Do not drink that water, my Lord."With a little shout, Loki reminded Fenrir not to drink the water in the glass, but it was too late because Fenrir had already swallowed the water. "Why, Loki? Is there something wrong with this water?""I sense a magic was put into the water, my Lord?""Magic? What kind of magic is that?""I sense a curse magic in the glass.""Curse magic?"Fenrir felt confused because he had never heard of this type of magic. Fenrir only knew the magic Silya taught him and the magic from his mother's book. Beyond that, Fenrir really didn't know any other type of magic. "What is curse magic, Loki?""Curse magic is a magic used to immobilize someone, my lord. This magic has many types and uses, some are paralyzing, poisoning, damaging mana control, and many others.""But I don't feel anything. Are you sure this water contains curse magic?""I can't be sure what kind of curse magic was put into the drink, but I'm sure it contains curse magic.""I feel healthy and no
