Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 278

Helmut

Episode 278

Helmut quietly held Area’s hand. Area looked at him with a smile.

It was a smile that hadn’t appeared on her face in years.

The moment of reunion gave Helmut an indescribable feeling.

But as soon as that moment passed, Helmut realized the reality.

A reality with huge barriers in place. A fate that cannot be avoided as long as he possesses the sprout of darkness.

“It’s reckless. Pahe Forest is a dangerous place. “No matter how great a wizard you are.”

“know. But even though it was reckless, you had to get out of the Forest of Pahe. Just like that, so did I.”

Something you can take even if it means risking your life. That’s what it means to be desperate.

“know. you… … “You guys can go out again.”

Helmut looked back at Area and his friends.

It worked out well because we met like this. She believes that Elaga will be able to drain the demonic energy from them, so they won’t have any trouble getting through the barrier again.

Even though Helmut can’t be with them. That wasn’t a pessimistic idea.

It’s just the cold reality he faces.

Asuka grumbled.

“How long has it been since you last met and you’re saying that?”

“Of course we’ll go out again. “I have no intention of burying my bones here.”

Xian urged and looked at Area as if he was somewhat uneasy.

Area cut it sharply.

“With you.”

“Yeah, I don’t know how that’s possible.”

Asuka shrugged her shoulders. She had literally followed without thinking.

Helmut shook his head.

“I can’t go out. “Because I can’t go out the same way I used to.”

“If it’s because of the sacred barrier, I have a way. If you say you can’t go out for another reason… … . For example, why are you afraid of enemies outside?”

Alea’s purple eyes suddenly became more intense.

The look in your eyes seemed to ask if you were ready to fight. Even if the opponent is Rinosa.

“… … no.”

He was abandoned, and the abandonment was so cruel that he no longer had any regrets.

Once was enough. As for Rinosa, her mother will no longer be able to abandon Helmut. Because Helmut had no intention of giving them anything.

Area continued speaking slowly.

“I didn’t come here without any plan. You know, right? An archmage named Antiol. “He helped us.”

Helmut was able to recall who the archmage was without difficulty.

“He studied the sacred barrier for a long time. He and I found a way. Of course, there will be risks, but it is the most likely method at the moment.”

Area said with confidence.

“Let’s go together.”

There was no reason not to follow that suggestion. A warm feeling surged into her chest.

Helmut nodded after a moment.

“okay.”

‘Are you leaving again?’

It was a thrilling moment, but Elaga was not satisfied with the conclusion.

Even though Helmut’s condition was unbelievable, he was simply happy to have returned.

Life in the forest of Farhe was boring, and Helmut was the first being he became attached to and raised.

Even though he is a monster, Elaga, who has lived with demonic powers for a long time, knows how to attach meaning to something, unlike other monsters. And it was strangely positive.

‘Okay, what can I do if I’m going to meet my partner?’

It felt like I was making Helmut independent twice.

Like the first, the second felt similarly lonely.

But Elaga was used to solitude. In the first place, monsters are lonely beings. It’s a little bit empty, but it won’t be particularly difficult.

‘I hope I live well this time.’

Elaga also thought about Helmut, who looked glum and sullen.

His gaze shifted to the side.

[But Ygrel, how long will you be here? Is it because of that rabbit?]

Ygrel, who had been watching the humans chatting as if it was cute, flinched.

He flapped his wings for no reason.

[Who cares? This isn’t even your territory. And those people are mine.]

[Why are those humans yours? I came looking for my human.]

[Because it entered my territory and came here because I protected it. Isn’t that why you claim to be your own human being?]

In fact, the protection thing was a mess, but Elaga had no way of knowing.

Elaga, who was at a loss for an answer, changed her words.

[Humans belong to no one. If you want to eat that white rabbit, take it and disappear.]

“I can’t give you bream!”

Sarah, who had been quiet, quickly intervened. She climbed on top of the stunned white rabbit as if wrapping her arms around him.

“Pomi is my friend!”

The rabbit that had been trampled by Sarah’s feet seemed to flinch for some reason, but no one paid any attention.

Elaga snorted.

[You sound like a friend. Naho’s thoughts are in that guy.]

[I heard it felt strange somehow. That was it. He’s a disgusting guy. Is he so tough because he’s a snake?]

[I’m so sick of Naho, why don’t you eat me up?]

Ygrel looked disgusted.

[No matter how delicious the rabbit is, Naho doesn’t want to eat it! I feel uncomfortable.]

[Then should I catch that one?]

Elaga frowned as if she was thinking hard. He swallowed Na-ho’s core, so there’s no reason he can’t swallow something else.

His gaze settled on the back of the white rabbit’s head.

Sarah shouted.

“It’s not Naho, it’s Pomi! “Just let me go.”

Elaga said as she slowly walked towards it.

[Rabbit meat is not common. I’ll leave you your share too. It will be delicious.]

“I’m not going to eat! no! “You can’t kill Pomi!”

[That’s not an ordinary monster. Right now he’s just a weak guy, but seeing as I approached you and tempted you, he’s got a grudge against me. You can’t leave regrets.]

If the thoughts of Naho, who was the ruler of an area, were embedded in him, he would quickly become stronger. It can definitely be a pain in the ass later on.

In particular, Naho was a person with a nasty personality who never forgot once he held a grudge.

“But that doesn’t work! My friend! “Pomi never once threatened me!”

Sarah’s spirit was strong. She spread her arms and enveloped the white rabbit. She could have just pushed it away with her tail and that would have been enough, but Elaga narrowed her eyes.

[Okay, well, if that’s the case for you. Let’s leave that guy alive and just eliminate Naho.]

Ygrel asked curiously.

[How is that possible?]

[Even if you can’t do it, I can do it.]

Elaga exhaled arrogantly and approached the white rabbit.

Sarah asked with a suspicious look on her face.

“Are you really not going to kill me?”

[Okay, did you see me lying? Hurry and get out of the way.]

Sera slowly moved out of the way.

The white rabbit, who had come to his senses and was watching, got up and tried to run away the moment Sarah, whom he trusted, retreated. But the attempt quickly became futile.

puck!

[Where are you running away from? Did you know that your guy came to his senses?]

The one hit by Elaga’s front paw fell back to its original position. Elaga crushed the white rabbit with his paws. It was an uncontrollable pressure.

‘no! ‘I can’t disappear like this!’

Naho’s thoughts were struggling. But he had no idea what to do.

The White Rabbit’s eyes filled with tears because he was so angry.

Sarah looked at her with pity, but that was all. Elaga focused her attention on the white rabbit.

‘I guess I’ll just have to practice this way.’

Pulling out Naho’s thoughts like removing demonic energy. It is a similar act in that it removes some foreign force from within the body.

I tried it with Helmut, but at that time I did it instinctively and not with my head.

In order to get Susan and Sarah out of the Forest of Pahe, they will need to drain their demonic energy, so they will have to experiment at least once.

Shuuuung.

Black smoke rose from the white rabbit. Naho’s thoughts that were forcibly removed were burned by Elaga’s magical energy and dispersed in the air.

After a while, Elaga stepped aside from the white rabbit. Sarah ran up to the white rabbit and shook her body.

“Pomi! are you okay?”

Soon the white rabbit came to its senses and stood up.

But as soon as he got up, he kicked the floor and ran. It is because he witnessed Elaga.

Sarah desperately called out to the white rabbit that ran away to the other side after a month.

“Pomiya!”

Instead of running, the white rabbit tilted its head and looked back at Sarah.

A familiar voice. However, because the presence of Elaga and Ygrel was so terrifying, the White Rabbit could not overcome his instinctive fear.

Before turning around for a moment, Sarah was shocked to see the back of the rabbit running away with its tail pulled out.

“Why, why are you doing that? “Don’t you recognize me?”

You left without even saying hello.

It felt as if Sarah had become something other than the white rabbit she knew. Elaga explained.

[He wasn’t strong enough to awaken his demon nature, but since Naho’s thoughts disappeared, he just became an ordinary monster.]

“Pomi was my, my only friend!”

I stole Sarah’s tears.

It was Sarah who became attached to the White Rabbit after only a few short encounters.

As Elaga watched her crying, he realized that living in the forest of Pahe without a single friend had been very harsh for this young girl.

Moreover, doesn’t Sera have memories of living outside of Pahe Forest?

Unlike guys like Helmut who live well alone, Sarah was the type of person who had to live in harmony with other people.

‘Yes, humans in the human world.’

Although it was a bitter experience, Elaga couldn’t help but recall the thoughts she had while raising Helmut.

[Let’s go to your mom first. Humans over there, follow me too!]

If those humans can take Helmut out of the Forest of Pahe, then this mother and daughter can also go out together.

After that, I was going to leave it to Helmut. Since he was strong in the human world, he would be able to help Susan and Sarah settle down and live in the human world.

‘What should I do?’

Igrel looked wistfully at the white rabbit moving away for a moment and thought about it.

The humans brought to him met Helmut as intended. This had to be the end of their relationship.

But it was a shame that it ended like this.

Of course, Area and the others were not at all sorry to get away from the boring Igrel, but Igrel had shaken off his boredom for the first time in a long time. I can’t give up this exciting feeling already.

Ygrel proudly declared.

[Elaga, I’m going with you.]

[what? I’m going to the central region. That’s my territory, why are you coming?]

[I helped you when you went out of the Forest of Pahe, so I think I’m paying you back.]

[…] … Do whatever you want.]

Elaga was a monster who knew how to count what he received. Although this Grell is curious and self-indulgent, he is not a bad guy, so he will not cause any harm.

“Let’s move quickly in the same way as before.”

Area called the golem. She, Asuka, Xian, and Charlotte were going to travel on a golem.

Helmut and Sarah naturally climbed on Elaga’s back.

With only one white rabbit leaving, they all headed to the central area.
