I almost fell over from the shock, but I regained my balance.

I looked at the fallen snake, literally feeling as if I had barely come back alive from the threshold of hell.

It died instantly with its eyes open, as if its soul had just disappeared, leaving behind a huge shell.

That was really close…

Just by their size difference, it was comparable to a human and an ant.

If Bellevagorah just flick his tongue, I would have been thrown off somewhere and died an unsightly death. I had to say that I was really lucky.

When I finally made contact safely, the ecstasy rose to the point of nonsense.

Even when I was on the verge of death, I still had that kind of composure. My mind must have gone twisted somewhere because of the [Soul of the King].

“Ugh… uh…”

Hearing that limp moan, I turned to where the two were.

I saw Khan slumped on the floor with a face that seemed like his soul was drained.

Asher stood with her eyes wide open, staring blankly at me. She was finally released from the effects of ‘Fear’.

The atmosphere was engulfed in silence, so I said nothing.

“It’s a monster that wasn’t supposed to be in a place like this.”

“…”

There was no clear response.

Khan was almost exhausted because of shock and fear. So, he continued moving after taking a break for a while.

“Sorry.”

While I was sitting on a rock and looking at Bellevagorah’s corpse, Asher said something out of the blue.

I turned my head and looked at her.

Basically, Asher’s expressionless face made it difficult to read her emotions, but I clearly saw that the other had a sullen expression.

After thinking about what she apologized for all of a sudden, I realized.

Is she saying that she failed to escort me properly?

This was a completely unexpected disaster.

It was far beyond her ability, so there was no reason to blame her.

How could she deal with a monster that a Lord could only deal or someone of the same level?

However, she could not tolerate that she did not fulfil her responsibilities properly. She just had that kind of personality.

Asher was a person who had that kind of stubbornness, serious in everything and infinitely strict with herself.

Ah.. or is it because of that?

Perhaps it was the shock of not being able to resist even the slightest in front of Bellevagorah.

I opened my mouth.

“Some monsters and species that emit ‘Fear’ are rare.”

Asher blinked.

A reaction showing that she didn’t understand what I was trying to say. She probably also didn’t know about ‘Fear’.

‘Fear’ was a kind of ability that had little information about because monsters that had it were rare.

At her level, even if she met other monsters that emitted ‘Fear’, she probably would not have been affected at all.

So it was unreasonable if this unfamiliar experience hurt her pride.

“It is an ability that causes fear, especially in opponents weaker than oneself. Usually, they completely lose the will to fight and fall into a panic.”

“…Ah.”

Only then did Asher look back at Bellevagorah’s corpse as if surprised.

“You probably never experienced it before.”

“Yes.”

“That little creature was so powerful that it was rare to see even in the Demonic Realm.”

At the words of consolation, Asher looked a little taken aback.

She nodded her head without answering, then closed her mouth again and returned to silence. So, it’s hard to know what she was thinking.

Soon, Khan also came back to his senses.

“If you’re not feeling well, get some more rest.”

“Oh, no. I’m really sorry for bothering you.”

Khan seemed exhausted, but seemed to have recovered enough to move his body.

Since he was exposed to the ‘Fear’ of a level 90 monster, it’s already good that he did not faint.

Perhaps this was just a short hike in his adventurer’s life, but he wondered if it would be one of the most memorable adventure for him.

“If something like that had really come down to the city, it would have been ruined…”

As if he still couldn’t feel the reality, Khan muttered blankly as he looked at Bellevagorah’s corpse.

Then, as he turned his head this way, his eyes met mine, and for some reason, he flinched excessively and lowered his head.

…Wasn’t his expression the same one he had when he first saw Bellevagorah?

Are you treating me as a monster?

It was not an incomprehensible reaction.

In their eyes, it would have looked like I killed the monster just by touching it.

Asher was pretending to be okay, but she was still secretly glancing at the corpse.

Anyway, since the crisis had safely passed, it was time to complete my purpose for coming here.

“Let’s move.”

All around, thick black trees were coloring the forest dark.

The hidden piece was close at hand.
