Bone King: Homemade plug-in, I am the god of destiny Chapter 090

Inside the Great Forest of Tobu.

This is a deep area, more than 150 meters from the edge of the forest. Because it has not yet experienced artificial exploitation and destruction, this area still maintains its primeval forest state.

Tree roots, vines, and low-lying plants grow luxuriantly on the ground, making it difficult to find a place to set foot. The dense trees overhead almost obscure the light, making the surroundings as dark as night.

Snap!

The sound of branches and grass stems being trampled broke the silence. An adventurer team of about ten people arrived at a not-so-open clearing in the forest, intending to rest there temporarily.

Their movements seemed to have attracted the attention of the forest monsters long ago. Under the shadows of the trees, several pairs of eyes glowing with green light slowly emerged, their pupils filled with bloodthirsty ferocity.

Thump!

The adventurer leader, who was walking at the front of the team, seemed to sense that the atmosphere around them was not right and immediately stopped.

He held his black longsword with both hands, maintaining vigilance, and at the same time warned his companions behind him, “We are surrounded by monsters. Prepare to fight.”

His voice showed no trace of fear or panic, appearing calm and composed. Unless he was a complete idiot who knew nothing, it meant he had enough confidence in his own strength.

Not only him, but four other people in the team also showed similar composure.

The ten-person team gradually formed a circular defensive formation. Five warriors and a priest protected two magic casters, one beast tamer, and two archers in the middle, ready to face the monster’s attack.

The monster in the shadows seemed unable to bear it any longer and rushed out from behind the tree trunk!

Its fur was entirely black, and its form was similar to a wolfdog, but it had two horns on its head and black chains suspended and wrapped around its body.

This was a monster called an Evil Spirit Hound. In addition to the agility and ferocity characteristic of wolves, they could also unleash the chains on their bodies to perform large-scale attacks.

Normally, to deal with an Evil Spirit Hound, one would need at least the strength of a Gold-rank adventurer.

All the adventurers present carried Silver-rank identity plates, one rank lower than Gold-rank. Facing the encirclement of three Evil Spirit Hounds, their chances of survival were slim.

“I’m going in!”

The battle began with the black-armored warrior’s shout. He charged first towards the Evil Spirit Hound closest to him. The priest, who had been staying by his side, immediately cast auxiliary magic upon seeing this.

Shield Wall!

Lesser Ability Boost!

Magic Attack Imbuement!

Shimmering magical light covered the black-armored warrior’s body, and the strengthened warrior entered the Evil Spirit Hound’s attack range.

The charging Evil Spirit Hound suddenly leaped up, using the horns on its head to launch a ramming attack on the black-armored warrior. This move could even easily pierce ordinary iron armor.

“Martial Arts: Fortress!”

The black-armored warrior’s left foot dug deep into the ground, stopping him instantly, while a red martial arts glow emanated from his body.

The Evil Spirit Hound’s horns struck his horizontal left arm guard and were directly repelled by the force of the martial art.

Seizing this opportunity, the black-armored warrior raised his longsword high and unleashed another skill, “Steel Sever!”

A swift and sharp sword slash cut through, and the Evil Spirit Hound’s head was easily severed as if cutting tofu, completely declaring its demise!

In other directions, the remaining two Evil Spirit Hounds were pierced through by a [Lightning Strike] and a [Swift Wind Arrow], respectively, following the fate of their companion.

After the battle ended easily, the adventurers went forward to collect usable materials from the Evil Spirit Hounds, then found another place to rest and regroup.

“Oh, Mr. Witt, you are truly amazing!”

An adventurer praised the black-armored warrior.

Although it wasn’t the first time, his voice still carried a sense of emotion, and his eyes showed obvious envy.

Witt humbly shook his head and replied with a smile, “All this is a gift from the gods. In fact, I am not as outstanding as you say.”

Although he was neither a divine official nor a priest, he held such reverence for the gods. Coupled with his high-strength black armor, Witt’s identity was already self-evident: he was one of the young adventurers from Carne Village.

Although E-Rantel had just experienced a great disaster, after a few days, the city’s order had basically returned to normal, and reconstruction work had begun.

However, the villagers of Carne who had just moved to the city did not actually own much property, so not many people were needed to stay in the city. Some, unable to bear the loneliness, took on adventurer quests and began new adventures.

Witt’s team consisted of five people. The other five were adventurers from another team they encountered in the forest.

At that time, that adventurer team was attacked by monsters and almost completely wiped out. It was Witt and his companions who intervened and helped them survive.

Witt had two main tasks for coming to the Great Forest of Tobu this time: first, a request from the Adventurers’ Guild to collect herbs, and second, to search for traces of the ‘Wise King of the Forest’ under the divine decree.

“The Wise King of the Forest, huh…”

Witt looked into the dark depths of the forest, feeling a touch of emotion.

When they lived in Carne Village, because the entire village was within the territory of this forest ruler, they rarely suffered monster attacks, which was considered a kindness they had received.

I wonder what the Lord God wants to do by looking for this great demon beast…

Hmm, I’ll tell Enri later and ask her to request the Lord God not to kill the Wise King of the Forest.

After resting sufficiently, Witt stood up from the ground and said to everyone, “Everyone, let’s continue on our way. Let’s try to complete the herb collection task before dark so we don’t have to spend the night in the forest.”

“You’re right.”

Everyone agreed and got up to continue their journey.

After they had all left the area, several figures emerged from the dark shadows of the trees, watching the direction they had departed.

“Lord Ainz, should we kill all these human adventurers?”

Aura scratched her head and asked Ainz beside her.

They had just rendezvoused with Cocytus and were about to subdue the Wise King of the Forest when they encountered these human adventurers trespassing into Cocytus’s驻军 territory. They didn’t know what the other party was here for.

To be safe, she thought they should eliminate this group to prevent the news of Cocytus and the army’s activities in the forest from leaking out.

Ainz pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head, rejecting Aura’s suggestion. “It’s better not to take risks.”

“If I remember correctly, there seem to be those special ‘fate believers’ among them. Before we figure out how I was exposed last time, killing them isn’t the best way to keep it a secret.”

“I see, it’s those guys!” Aura’s eyes immediately sharpened.

Han Yu not only opposed Lord Ainz but also once killed Shalltear. Naturally, Aura would not have a good impression of the ‘fate believers’ related to him.

“Lord Ainz, if we can’t kill them, then driving them away with monsters should be fine, right?”
