Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 51 – FOREST EXPEDITION MONSTER JILID TWO [bags. 2]
The expedition's departure team has been determined consisting of Helios, Alice, Nunu, and one of Leon's shadow bodyguards, Codi. Far away walking, they finally managed to enter into the monster forest territory.
The situation looked different when the last time Helios and his team visited the place. The fog surrounding the place was much thicker and seemed to flow with a strange flow.
But thanks to that, Helios and his team were able to hide their existence from the monsters in the monster forest better.
“This is weird. Even after a long walk, we haven't been attacked by monsters. It seems that His Highness the Second Prince can predict in which path monsters do not exist.”
“Hahahahaha. We're lucky because this place is surrounded by fog so monsters can't see us. But by the way, Codi, you turned out to be great at covering your mana-flow too huh.”
“This is all thanks to the harsh training of His Highness the Third Prince.”
“But isn't this good? Codi, is your name? Judging from your weapon, you are an assassin type. Our current party will not be efficient against many monsters since a swordsman like Albert does not exist. And we also currently do not have a versatile attacker like Yasmin. It will be difficult for you to single-handedly conduct a melee attack.” Alice also expressed her opinion.
“Self? Isn't there also you with your great sword?”
“Eh, you haven't heard any rumors about me?
“Hmm? What rumors?”
“Look, I can only act as a shield since I am not good at swinging my sword.”
“What? Where there is a sword knight who is so.”
Alice simply fell silent listening to the insults from that Codi. She looked sad.No, Alice's face turned red. Rather than being sad, Alice seemed to enjoy the piercing insults that Codi had thrown at her as the swordsman.
Not yet had Codi responded to Alice's strange reaction, Nunu immediately slipped in the middle of the chatter.
“But until when should we do this. It doesn't feel good to concentrate my mana flow on this ring. It feels like holding back want pup.”
Different from her masochistic nature, Alice is sensitive to the ethics of modesty. Hearing Nunu's vulgar remarks, he immediately reprimanded her, “Nunu, keep your manners before His Highness the Prince. More than you are a woman. It is inappropriate for you to speak vulgarly like that.”
“But Alice..”.
Helios immediately reached for Nunu's head, which had fine black hair, and then rubbed her there and there.
“U huh. Mr. Helios, sick.”
“You need to be patient a little more, Nunu. Just a waste of time if we have to face a lot of kroco monsters. Our goal is to investigate the dungeon Milanda which is likely to be the cause of the weirdness of the current monsters.”
“From the beginning I was curious, Mr. Helios. Is Milanda a person's name?”
“Hmm. He resembled a human but could not be considered a human. He was an ancient witch known as one among the twelve loyal generals of the demon lord. He was different from humans because he was born from magic energy. But more than anything, Milanda is desperate to become a whole human being to the point of sacrificing the lives of the entire city as a result to fulfill her wish.”
“Aglorious once. The name witch is evil.”
“Oh, yes. By the way about the fog in this monster forest, it's all because of the witch's pet, cockatrice, which inhabits the fifth floor of the dungeon Milanda.”
Helios explained all the knowledge she had gained from reading the book, while Nunu listened to it enthusiastically. No, not only Nunu, Alice and Codi who were behind them also listened enthusiastically.
The situation went quite under control until even a day they were in the monster forest. It was quite difficult to tell the difference between day and night there since the fog was so thick, yet both Helios, Alice, and Codi had not the slightest trouble since they could sense the flow of mana. Only Nunu himself was unable to notice it.
Realizing that the right time had come to rest, Helios and his entourage began to build a tent and rest.
However, in the midst of their rest, the flow of fog that had originally flowed strangely, had suddenly turned even stranger. The fog rotated rapidly around Helios and his entourage resting in the tent. Then instantly, the mist charged towards them. This caused the four of them to crash.
Helios swiftly reached for Nunu when he crashed, while Codi managed to reach Alice's hand. Unfortunately, each of the two groups was unable to reach each other and finally separated amid the thick fog.

“Duh, duh, duh, Mr. Helios, my head hurts.”
“Nunu, you can stand right? We need to get going. We can't stay separated from Alice for long. I'm worried about him.”
Helios and Nunu also walked through an area that they could not see at all what was in front of him about the thickness of the fog. A moment later, even Nunu who had a careless character, was able to immediately realize that there was a strange expression on his master.
“Mr Helios, is there a problem?”
Helios shook her head at Nunu's question.
“Nothing really, not something important. I just can't track Alice down right now because it seems that this mist is playing a little trick that bounces off my signal.”
“Then, isn't that a very serious problem, Mr Helios!”
“Yeah, I'm sure that Codi will be able to protect Alice well.”
Long walking, suddenly a voice came calling out to Helios from behind.
“Ter... Masters! Master!”
Helios immediately turned to the origin of the voice.
He was so shocked when he began to be able to watch the posture of the person who was running while calling him that. Although Helios could not see his face about being covered in fog, but from his large and stocky stature, as well as from the armor he used, Helios could immediately guess who it was.
“Master! I finally found Master. It's not wrong I prefer to run towards the fog storm instead of dodging it. Already I expected Master will be involved in the chaos of the fog storm.”
“Albert?”
Apparently, the figure who was in front of Helios who desperately held his knee while standing, was none other than Albert, the loyal bodyguard of Helios.
“Why are you here? Didn't you still faint after being seriously injured?”
“Hahahahaha. I immediately ran here as soon as I woke up from my fainting, Master.”
“You are yes, why are you always so careless. Watch a little of your body condition. No matter how healthy your body is, we'll never know what injury will be caused after your fight with Leon.”
“Hehehehehe. I'm now fit again, Master.” Accompanied by his big smile, Albert denied the concern of Helios.
“Ya. Now we're in an unlikely condition to send you back to the city. You follow me just fine behind for now. But remember, after all this is done, just be ready to receive a punishment you can never imagine from me.”
Helios said as she glanced with anger at Albert. But to his surprise, Albert responded with a bright smile.
“Can't be that way, Master. As Master's sword, I must not be behind, but must always stand in front of protecting Master.”
Albert obviously avoided discussing his sudden arrival

On the other hand, Alice and Codi who are separated from the group also support each other.
“Quick, Codi. I need to find Master.” immediately
“Good. But Alice, do not forget to increase your vigilance of the possibility of monsters to attack.”
Far away walking, they suddenly met someone again. However, the figure they encountered was Nunu.
“Alice, Codi, thank goodness I found you. Where is the Master? Is Master not with you?”
There were two Nunu existences in different places. One was with Helios and the other was in front of Alice and Codi at this time. There are only two possibilities. One is genuine while the other is fake, or both are false existences.
