‘But seeing this reminds me again.’
However, Reppenhardt soon erased Alex’s existence from his mind.
Considering the current time zone, the saint Elin and the warrior Alex could not exist. She’s Elin. If you take care of Cilan, she won’t show up, and Alex was in her early 20s at the time, so she couldn’t have been born yet.
‘Is this a new enemy as expected?’
Reppenhardt looked at Titima, who was catching her breath among the troll corpses.
As befits Atilka’s successor, she soon calmed down her excitement and returned to her calm expression.
Although he is angry, he is not swayed by passion. This is the common sense of troll gurus who pursue spiritual culture. I just calmly look at the situation with sadness.
“Those who return to their mother’s arms will have peace in their souls… … .”
Muttering a requiem song, Titima caresses the bodies of the young troll children. Looking at the scars left on the body, Reppenhardt was convinced. Even though I didn’t know the traces of the aurors, I could immediately recognize the traces of magic left on the bodies of those trolls.
‘Chain of Genocider, an 8th circle linked spell that is activated through blood.’
This spell can reverse the troll’s regenerative power and cause mass destruction in one fell swoop.
‘A great wizard of the 8th circle and an auror capable of aura-magic fusion, right? Have people like this existed before?’
Although he thought about it for a while, Reppenhardt could not think of such people. The times are different and the world is wide, so there is nothing strange about there being a strong person that he does not know about.
It seems that he is a new powerhouse that he does not know about. With that conclusion, Reppenhardt stopped his worries and returned to the task at hand.
“Anyway, I can’t leave them like this… … .”
Reppenhardt said, turning his head to look at the group.
“Do you think we should at least hold a simple funeral?”
The other party members also calmed down to some extent. Iniya, Marceline, and Tashid each answered.
“Of course. “I guess I’ll have to dig quickly.”
“Rather than that, let’s collect the gumballs and prepare for cremation.”
“We need to build a high pole and hang the body. “So that their souls can become birds and fly away.”
Traditionally, elves do burials, dwarves do cremations, and orcs do funerals, so each person had a different answer. Everyone looked at Titima. Now that I think about it, how do trolls hold funerals?
Titima frowned as she looked around the village.
“Ugh, I can’t eat all these people by myself, can I?”
Silan’s complexion turned pale.
“Are you eating?”
Repenhardt muttered with a shocked expression.
“Oh right… … “Trolls do cannibalism, really.”
Silan’s complexion now turned from pale to meditative.
“You’re a cannibal, you can’t eat people… … “What do you mean?”
Is it because Titima follows her around because her skin looks so soft? huh? Is that it?
Reppenhardt clicked his tongue and shook his head at Silan, who was shaking.
“The concept is a little different. “Don’t worry, eating a living person is a terrible thing even for a troll.”
Adult trolls have such strong regenerative powers that they do not die easily. Even when a disease spreads or a disaster occurs, bodies rarely appear all at once, and most people die naturally due to old age and deterioration.
And when there is a dead person in the clan, the trolls traditionally have a custom of sharing the dead body among the clan. It was a unique way of honoring the dead in troll culture.
Everything in nature circulates, so it is believed that the blood and flesh of the dead are alive and breathing within oneself. And in fact, by eating the blood and flesh of the dead, the regenerative power was transferred to the trolls who ate them, increasing their strength, so there was a reasonable reason.
Titima muttered as if she was embarrassed.
“Children can be buried in the ground, but other people’s souls need to be properly honored… … .”
Of course, whatever the reason, it was a barbaric act that would make humans horrified and outraged.
Orcs hanging corpses on sticks and leaving them for birds to peck at are a terrible sight for humans to see. Even eating the corpses of your own people?
After all, there was a reason why trolls were known as monsters for generations. Compared to other races, trolls are far removed from human culture in many ways.
Still, everyone here knows respect for other cultures, and they didn’t make outright expressions of horror. It was a car that Reppenhardt was wondering what to do.
“Atilca said this before. “Those who die naturally should become our flesh and blood, but those who die accidentally should be purified with fire to lift the curse of hatred.”
Titima ordered the group to step back. The entire group left the village and moved towards the jungle.
Titima spread her hands wide as she looked at the entire village. Flicking each joint of her fingers, she began singing an odd song.
“Mother Earth, you sigh. The feathers of the soaring bird will seek the tongue of the day sun. This is cleanliness and purity… … .”
La la la la… … .
With a soft humming, magical flames erupted to the left and right of Titima. The fire runs across the ground and surrounds the village for a long time.
Grumble!
Flames engulfed the entire village. The terrible scene disappeared as it was buried in fire.
Cilan and Marceline each prayed to their gods for their peace.
“In the name of Al Fort, Binoni, may your souls rest in peace.”
“Philanense, may their souls be loved and live forever in a place free from pain.”
Reppenhardt frowned while looking at the blazing fire in front of him. The bronzed muscles glowed red in the light.
‘Who are you? ‘What kind of people do such a terrible thing?’
☆ ☆ ☆
In the jungle about 80 kilometers west of the Erekaka tribal village.
A group of people were walking through the vines. It was a human group made up of mixed genders, led by a handsome young man with black hair.
One of the group, a woman with reddish-blonde hair and freckles, sent a sullen voice to the young man leading the way.
“Thesron, was it really necessary to kill them all? There were some cubs too… … .”
Tesron, a young man with black hair, responded firmly.
“It’s like exterminating pests. Never mind, Filena. “I just did what I had to do.”
“but… … .”
Filena shrugged her shoulders and trailed off. Jade, a handsome blonde young man walking behind her, grinned at her and soothed her.
“If you find a rat in the house and leave it alone while it is still young, won’t it soon germinate and return to its original state? You have to completely eradicate them to keep your home clean. And thanks to that, didn’t we get along quite well in battle?”
“I know that, but… … .”
Curling her lips, Filena just kept her mouth shut.
Adult male trolls were so vicious that they had no hesitation in killing them. However, since troll children and women lack troll-like characteristics, they do not look that different from humans. On the outside, it looks like a human with an unusual appearance, just blue skin. It didn’t really feel like a monster.

“Ugh… … .”
Filena immediately shook her head and shook off her discomfort. She said Thethrone just did what she was told to do.
Suddenly, Jade shouted forward.
“Alex! “Make a way!”
A handsome blonde young man nodded with a blunt expression.
“I get it.”
And then he pulls out his sword and shines. The young man, Alex’s sword gave off a blade aura and glowed blue, and was soon covered with black mana, blending with pure white holy power.
“Huh!”
With a burst of spirit, Alex extended his sword towards the jungle in front of him.
Kwaaaaang!
With an explosion, entire trees and grass were blown away, creating a 20-meter long road. Jade smiled brightly at the sight.
“It really is worth using.”
Alex, who had withdrawn his sword, walked briskly again with an expressionless face. Tesron frowned.
“But I don’t feel like I’m human.”
“Of course. “Because I’m not human.”
Jade responded with a look on her face that made me wonder what I was talking about. Tethron scratched his cheek.
“but… … .”
Alex, a warrior from his previous life, was a valuable colleague who fought against the Demon King together. His courage and will, especially his spirit of sacrifice for humanity, were enough to admire even the older Thesron and Cyrus.
Even though I knew that Alex from my previous life and that RX-13 were not the same person, I still felt bad seeing someone with the same face acting like a doll like that.
“Uhm, let’s keep going.”
Shaking off his thoughts, Tethron continued walking.
How long did you walk?
Rumble!
It was clear a little while ago, but then suddenly it started thundering and raining heavily. A shower of rain poured down over the lush trees and quickly turned a small stream into a huge river.
“The sun was shining a little while ago, but now it’s raining? “The weather here is really shit.”
Thesron clicked his tongue as he watched the river of muddy water flowing with a loud gurgling sound.
“Shall we fly across with magic, Lord Jade?”
He was now the Grand Wizard of the 8th Circle. Fly spells that allow flight can also be used.
“It’s not an urgent journey, so there’s no need to expend magical power. I heard that using flying magic in the rain requires much more magical power than usual. “For now, let’s wait for the rain to stop.”
Filena, who was standing behind, immediately took out a small stick from Infinite’s pocket.
“I’ll make a place to rest, Tethron.”
I put the stick on a suitable flat surface and activated it, and it soon became a large tent. In addition, pure white beads inside the tent glowed and immediately radiated cold air, removing surrounding moisture, and in an instant, the inside of the tent, which had been hot and humid, was filled with refreshing air like spring.
Christine, a two-meter tall woman, gasped and hurried inside.
“Ah, I guess I’ll buy something now.”
Jade smiled softly as she followed him in.
“This is going very comfortably, Sir Christine. “If I didn’t have this equipment, wouldn’t it have been much more difficult?”
Filena, who had visited this place once with Tethron, agreed vehemently.
“That’s right. Aren’t the Silver Age pieces really nice, especially these clothes? What kind of material is it? “I wish I could get one.”
Filena made a disappointed sound as she examined her clothes. Tesron scolded seriously.
“That’s a taboo item. I have to return it. “Don’t pay attention to me for nothing.”
“I know. “It’s just good.”
The same applies to these people who cannot wear their usual clothes in this scorching heat. Christine, the paladin, and Filena and Jade, the wizards, have taken off their usual armor and robes and are wearing tropical clothing.
However, Tethron’s group was dressed a little differently from Leffenhardt’s group.
In the jungle, everything reproduces luxuriantly. Some people think that in the jungle, where every tree is full of fruit and it is warm all year round, there is no need to worry about food or clothing, but this is not wrong. However, saying that the climate is good for humans also means that it is a good climate for all kinds of bugs, wild animals, parasites, leeches, and infectious bacteria. Thorough preparation for that is necessary.
Currently, everyone in Tethron’s group was wearing brown fabric tops and bottoms with black tights underneath, covering their entire bodies as well as their limbs. Even an Auror user could not help but suffer from the heat if their whole body was wrapped in this scorching heat, but even the women who were not very physically fit did not seem to be having a hard time.
It was all thanks to the black tights and Plestex suits they wore.
It’s not that Leffenhardt and his party have no knowledge of the jungle. They have also made their own preparations for the tropical climate. However, their knowledge belongs to the jungle natives and trolls, so they have no choice but to dress similarly to them. Because even trolls live naked.
However, this is only possible because Repenhardt and his group are so transcendentally strong, in fact, they need to be dressed appropriately. In particular, comfortable shoes and leg protectors are essential. Of course, with the current level of fabric, trying to protect the limbs could actually raise body temperature and cause dehydration, so it was an unavoidable choice… … .
“Prestex suit… … .”
Tethron massaged his arm and nodded. They could use the equipment of the Silver Age, so there was no need for them to go through such hardships.
“It’s definitely good, this.”
This Plestex suit maintains sufficient breathability and durability as expected from the Silver Age material, while blocking some of the external heat with light cold magic, and even has the function of automatically shaking off mud or grime.
Tethron thought while adjusting his clothes.
“As expected, the Silver Sage has everything. “I thought it was going to be something like the ‘Necklace of Warmth’ this time.”
“It’s an artifact that increases resistance to cold, so it’s not very useful in the tropics.”
Jade shrugged her shoulders. Filena asked.
