From this point of view, it is the depths of the forest. The towering trees are like artificial barriers, blocking most of the sunlight at dusk, making the road ahead extremely dark.

However, darkness is darkness, and this has no effect on Meliodas. The only creatures that can threaten him are powerful monsters, and powerful monsters will be sensed by Meliodas immediately when they approach.

Since she couldn't see the way ahead, Elizabeth, who was at the back, gently held Meliodas's clothes with her hand, so that she didn't have to worry about getting lost, and she could let go of him immediately in case of a battle and hide behind go.

Although Elizabeth also wanted to help Meliodas during the battle, she knew that if she acted casually, it would cause trouble for Meliodas who devoted himself to the battle.

Meliodas, who didn't know what Elizabeth was thinking, walked straight forward. The dull hair on his short blond hair was particularly obvious in the dark, like a compass in this dim space, making Elizabeth stare at it with great interest. look.

"Sure enough, the forest is very tricky. It's easy for people to lose their sense of direction. Just destroy all the big trees around them."

"Master Meliodas, it is possible to do that, but you said that there are many monsters around here, right? In such a dangerous area, it is wrong to act so conspicuously."

"Actually, I personally don't care. The problem lies in your existence, Elizabeth. Of course, this is not to dislike you. Every time I see you, I cheer up!"

"Please don't stare at my thigh and say that weird thing!"

Elizabeth, who reminded Meliodas to look forward, puffed up her cheeks, knowing that she was not really angry.

Now, as Meliodas said, the sense of direction became blurred under the influence of the same big trees, grass, and bushes, so the two had to stop temporarily.

Meliodas in front of him raised his head, the current time was close to dusk, and he could see the fire cloud and red glow that seemed to be ignited from the gaps in the leaves.

"You wait below, I'll climb up the tree to have a look, if you have any questions, remember to call me immediately, right away, understand?"

Elizabeth nodded seriously, she knew that Meliodas would not joke about it.

Looking at Meliodas climbing up from under the tree, the girl below straightened her hair covered with fallen leaves and weeds, recalling what happened today.

Two people who went to the village to buy goods were attacked by a magician. They thought that the other party was not a strong opponent, at least not for Meliodas, but they were teleported to this place when the enemy's magic power ran away. strange place.

Elizabeth still has a mission that she should fulfill, and she is not willing to stay here forever.

Obviously there is no clue so far, but Elizabeth firmly believes that as long as Master Meliodas is together, all problems can be solved.

"Elizabeth! Go on!"

"Ah!"

Elizabeth was hit on the head by a chubby object, and Elizabeth, who was startled, hurriedly grabbed it after uttering an exclamation.

It is a fruit, light black, very soft fruit, thanks to the hit on my head just now, this fruit has a sunken place, and the cracked mouth flows out a light red juice that does not match the appearance, it is easy to remind people of black tea, or it's blood...

"Eat it, I took a breath just now, and my body didn't have any adverse reactions."

"Master Meliodas! What if it is poisonous!"

"Don't worry, if it is poisonous, my body can resist it and heal itself. After all, it is impossible for that special poison brewed by the sages of the kingdom to appear here."

"Not that kind of question!"

Elizabeth, who shouted, interrupted Meliodas, who wanted to continue talking, and those blue eyes seemed to be submerged in water.

"I don't want Master Meliodas to take such a risk."

"Feel sorry……"

For a moment, Meliodas showed an expression similar to that of a child being scolded, but he quickly switched states.

"Okay, let's go on! It's not okay to stay where you are! At least you have to figure out where this is and where it is in the kingdom."

"Okay, okay..."

Elizabeth froze for a moment, holding the fruit, she quickly ran after Meliodas in front of her.

"That...Master Meliodas, what did you see just now?"

"This is a basin. We are located in the center of the basin. If you want to get a wider view, you can't go out from here and cross those mountains."

"Is it the basin? It doesn't look like the territory of the kingdom. Was it sent to other countries?"

"I don't know, but the monsters here are indeed different from the ones he has encountered; in short, let's go to the east side, I see a gap over there, maybe we can go out from this basin and go to other places .”

Meliodas can survive in this dangerous forest alone, but Elizabeth can't, it's too dangerous for her.

After the two walked forward for about 10 minutes, Meliodas tore away the vines and branches in front of him, ignoring the barbs on them that would scratch the skin, and successfully opened up a path forward. ,

The field of vision becomes wider, and the dark space becomes brighter because of the last afterglow.

"Wow! Is this spring water?"

Elizabeth looked excited. After all, she was still a girl, and being able to wash her body covered in mud and sweat was what she wanted to do most now.

However, Elizabeth, who was halfway running, let out a cute cry of 'meow', because her skirt was pulled from behind by Meliodas.

As if the skirt was blown up by the updraft, the snow-white skin stretched all the way to the top of the thigh, and the moment he was about to see the scenery under the skirt, Meliodas, who was acting like a gentleman, was knocked back a few steps by the girl's hand knife .

"Even if it's Meliodas-sama, you can't just lift up other people's skirts!"

"Hmph, calm down, Elizabeth, I am very interested in your plump thighs, but this time is to remind you not to mess around."

Walking to the edge of the grass, Meliodas asked the girl to squat beside him, then raised his hand and pointed around the small lake formed by the spring water.

"There are two beast lanes over there. I'm afraid they are special passages for small animals and large monsters. Most of them often come here to get water to drink. If they go out directly, they may be exposed to the sight of many wild beasts and be attacked. The attack is not surprising."

"So... sorry, I was too reckless, Meliodas-sama."

"No, it's easy to relax with your personality. Hurry up, I'll be on guard, and you go take a shower."

"Fool!!"

The topic returned to the previous strange content.

Not bothering about whether or not Elizabeth took a bath, Meliodas let her stay where she was while he started patrolling around.

I turned around and found no trace of the monster, only the animal path covered by rotten leaves and muddy water remained.

It stands to reason that there should be more World of Warcraft activities at this time, why is there not as many activities in this area as imagined?

Meliodas recalled the monster he killed, he only used Full Counter (full counter), and the rest were additional blows in the physical sense.

Could it be that what he killed was the Warcraft boss who ruled this area recently?

"Elizabeth, if you want to take a bath, hurry up, and you don't need to change your clothes, because lighting a fire will reveal your whereabouts."

"Okay, okay, please don't peek!"

"Who do you take me for?"

Is it still a man without peeking?

Even so, Meliodas did not forget to be vigilant about his surroundings. In this strange place, anything could be fatal.

Plus, Elizabeth is in great shape!

After Elizabeth took a shower, Meliodas also washed his cheeks with water casually, and then he carried Elizabeth on his shoulders.

"What are you going to do! Meliodas-sama!"

"Don't move around, we are going to rest in the tree tonight, if we stay on the ground, we will be easily attacked."

Trees are much safer than the ground.

When the two came to the tree trunk, the night in the forest finally came.

Darkness reigns everywhere in the forest, but this area with springs is unobstructed by leaves, and a beautiful night sky can be seen.

After walking in the complex and rugged forest for an afternoon, Elizabeth, who was already tired, fell asleep quickly.

Meliodas, who sighed, stroked Elizabeth's hair that had slid down her nose and lips behind her ears with her hand, and suddenly gripped the handle of the Broken Blade tightly, alerting herself to movement in the darkness.

----

Elizabeth awoke from her sleep when the warm morning sun caressed her cheeks.

She rubbed her eyes with her hands, and after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she found Meliodas busy below.

"Elizabeth, wake up. This is the fruit I picked this morning. At least it can be used to satisfy my hunger. Try to leave here before noon today."

"Ok."

Although she answered, Elizabeth found that she couldn't go down at all, the trunk was too high.

"Come down."

Meliodas below stretched out his hands. He was not tall, nor could he be called strong, but he was very strong, which even Elizabeth could be sure of.

Her stomach growled softly stimulated by the aroma of the fruit, so Elizabeth jumped down.

Elizabeth, who was being used in a princess hug, felt her cheeks turn red, but she stood up pretending to be calm.

"Master Meliodas, where are we going? Is it a good choice to follow the beast path? At least there is a reference point."

"That's right, the animal way can indeed be a guide, because their hunting area is definitely not here."

The two who had fruit for breakfast made a plan while discussing, and it didn't take long before they started to act.

The road in the forest is very rough, and humans rely more on brute force to advance in this uncivilized area.

Meliodas, who was leading the way, tore off the vines in front of him with his hands, and removed the weeds and branches that were easy to scratch as much as possible, and successfully came to a mountain road leading out of the basin.

Just when he was about to reach out his hand, the ground began to tremble, and a stench mixed in the air spread everywhere, and the towering trees that formed the maze collapsed under the impact of some object, and a monster rushed towards the rising sun with its back To two people.

The speed is not fast, but it is stable enough, as if the obstacles in front of him do not exist.

Meliodas pushed Elizabeth away. He drew out the broken sword and slashed it out. The broken blade came into contact with the monster's head, and the scattered magic power began to run away!

After that--

Boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Explosions resounding through the sky swept across the entire area, and Elizabeth, who was pushed away, flew out under the strong impact, roaring with destruction and death, as well as thunder, lightning and flashing monsters!

The battle has begun.

renew! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! [PS: I feel my body being hollowed out! ! 】

Chapter 18 Strange Records of Elizabeth?

The sound of the explosion was like a bolt from the blue to the forest in the early morning. The impact caused by the collision of magic power turned into a roaring beast and rushed everywhere. Therefore, Elizabeth, who had no fighting ability, had to hide in the dark to observe the situation. She knew very well that she This time is Meliodas' burden.

Hiding behind the trunk of a towering tree, Elizabeth, who lowered her body, used her body to withstand the roar and strong wind again and again, and tried her best not to distance herself from Meliodas in battle.

To Elizabeth's surprise, the monster that was fighting against Meliodas unexpectedly resisted. Its huge body and hard armor weakened most of Meliodas' strength. There is a connection between the two. There is a return.

This forest is just like what Meliodas said, it is too dangerous, as long as it is a slightly more powerful monster, it has enough powerful fighting ability.

Just as Elizabeth was about to continue to retreat, Meliodas's short sword knocked the monster into the air under his powerful slash, and the force generated also spread, shattering all the surrounding ground together.

Elizabeth, who did not stand still, screamed, and flew out with the next impact.

"Master Meliodas!"

Elizabeth called out her name, but it was overwhelmed by the blowing sound like a squall, and it couldn't reach the other party's ears at all.

Elizabeth, who was holding her head with her hands, shrunk her body to protect herself. She was already near the basin, but when she fell, she rolled towards a deeper position.

The arms and legs rubbed against the sharp plants with barbs, resulting in many bloody cuts on her snow-white skin, and part of her clothes were stained red, leaving her with a somewhat miserable appearance.

The inertial rolling didn't stop until she hit the tree trunk with her head, and the sudden impact made her grunt in pain. This kind of blow from a blunt instrument can often make people dizzy.

Enduring the pain, Elizabeth staggered up from the ground, raised her head and looked up.

This is a puddle-like place in the basin, with a somewhat difficult-to-move swamp at the foot, and the moss and weeds that grow everywhere almost dominate the place. She guessed it used to be a small lake.

"Master Meliodas..."

Ignoring the wounds on her body, Elizabeth was about to return the same way.

Directly above, that is, a few hundred meters away from the slope, Meliodas who stayed there was still fighting, fighting fiercely with the powerful monster that suddenly appeared.

Even so, the wounds on Elizabeth's body and the impact on her head made her move quite slowly, and even her consciousness became somewhat blurred.

Boom boom! !There was another crash from above, but this time Elizabeth also heard the sound from the right.

The branches were being plucked by something, the bushes were rustling due to something passing by, and the tense Elizabeth held her breath, and she began to be vigilant about her surroundings.

Appeared!Just as Elizabeth turned around to speed up her escape, the monster lurking in the bushes and weeds appeared instantly. It was a monster with the head of a lion and the tail of a scorpion.

Elizabeth, who has no combat power, can't defeat it. The only thing she can think of is to escape from here.

But where to escape?If he continued toward Meliodas, he would be caught before climbing up.

"No, don't come here!!"

Elizabeth began to bluff for the time being. She had heard from her grandfather that monsters like to attack when people are unprepared, and when facing humans who respond, they will hesitate in their actions.
