Chapter 83
The knight shook his head and answered “The duke was furious because of what happened to his daughter and sent one of his elite armies to kill the traitorous bastard but have failed
“The traitor escaped with the help of demons but we did gravely injured him and killed most of the demons protecting him”
“So did all of you killed all the demons?” He couldn’t help but ask disappointingly since he still wanted to tame the Windbreaker Demon Archer
The knight shook his head and answered “Nope we wanted to pry their mouth open to learn any secret of the demons since they have already invaded Thousand Forest Continent”
‘So this continent is called Thousand Forest Continent huh’ He inwardly said
“Sir did you capture a bow wielding demon with great power and precision?” He hurriedly asks
“Hmm let me think I think we did it was one of the most troublesome of the demons we fought since it is intelligent and powerful” The knight pondered for a minute before saying this
.....
“Can you give her to me I have many uses for her” Hearing this the knight hesitated and asks Shadowslash to wait before going to the knight leading the army
After discussing something he then returned and said “My commander said the demon will be delivered a 2 weeks later”
Hearing his answer Shadowslash was quite happy he then brought the knights to the village
When they were near the village they saw Helia standing on the entrance together with her daughters and subordinates
All the knights immediately knelt down when they arrived in front of Helia
“Miss Helia we apologize for the delay!!!” Helia just smiled she knew that it was not the knights fault
After talking to the knights Helia then asks Shadowslash to gather everyone she the went to the village stage at the center of the village
Shadowslash knew what she wanted to do he then told everyone to gather at the village stage
After a couple of minutes everyone arrived below the stage looking confused
Helia together with her daughters and subordinates who stayed at the village for this past week went to the center of the stage facing all the villagers
“Everyone this may be too sudden but me and my family are now saying goodbye” After Helia said this silence prevails the surroundings
Then everyone started asking numerous question
Shadowslash then fired a Flame Bullet to the sky causing a mild explosion and gathers everyone attention to him
“Please just let Miss Helia and her family finish what they are saying before asking” When everyone heard this they quieted down and look at Helia and the others with inquiry
“I know all of you were wondering why I am suddenly leaving”
“It is because the rest of my family is calling me back home”
“But don’t worry I will be visiting from time to time”
“I am thankful for everyone’s hospitality and also very grateful to Shadowslash-san for protecting us all this time”
After saying that Helia made a bow causing the new knights who arrived to be startled after all Helia is a nobility to bow to commoners is such an act to be condemned by other nobles
After hearing all of this the villagers then started to also say goodbye to Helia and the others
Creshold also had a discussion with the villagers who also join his training
The whole day was spent saying goodbye to Helia and the rest
Sans was also somewhat sad to see Creshold off since the two of them always sparred causing their relation to became a bit close
With the sparring Creshold even manage to rank up into a Bronze Rank Knight
The next day
Just like any normal day for the villagers they started improving the roads creating mud bricks
The elves also started to strengthen the trees near the roads to liven up the atmosphere Shadowslash even had everyone plant different kind of flowers near the road
There was also a great news for Shadowslash and the organization during the past week they have been exploring the inner and core part of the forest they found a huge beautiful clear lake with numerous aquatic plants on it
The only puzzling thing is that there were no monster living on it but when the scouts approached the lake numerous blobs of water started attacking them
When Shadowslash heard the information he was ecstatic because the blobs of water can only mean one thing An Elemental Monster
He then started creating a canal to the cave towards the lake but it would take a while before the members finish creating one
He always wanted to create a Shooter Division that was only made up of Elementals and with Clwyd in charge of subjugating the Elementals that they found he was rest assured
He then spent all of his focus on improving the village and building a proper road
Shadowslash also managed to capture a couple of horses and deers to be raised as mounts for the humans and elves
The horses were called Forest Horse they are classified as a Wild Beast a classification below a monster and because of that they had no grade
The deer was a Monster called Forest Evergreen Deer even though they are made up of only None Rank Monster all of them are Good Grade 0 increasing the posibility of Ranking up to Bronze Rank
What made Shadowslash startled was the fact that deer could increase their grade as long as they stay near a Tree of Life causing them to be a perfect mount for elves
They also have healing ability increasing their usefulness, they have great mobility in the forest and they have an inborn ability of acute of sense danger
The humans also continued their basic training in being a knight and the one who was training them were Sans
Even though Sans is an undead so physical training do not help him much he still have his swordsmanship even Gulli was training under him
All the members of the organization also started to level up more quickly after the SYSTEM assimilated with the energy from the carcasses that Shadowslash and the others collected
Now the cave have a rainbow mist floating inside the cave the mist is purely made up of extremely pure and dense Mana
While in the soil and plants great energy and vitality excludes in them causing the cave to be brimming with life
All the plants including the special ones changed and improved
The Luminous Tree of Life grown a little bit bigger and taller it was now standing at 65 feet tall causing Leafinia to finally Rank Up to Bronze Rank
