NEETS
Chapter 41: I finally found you

after getting an investigation mission from The Back city, I immediately rushed with Momo to my destination.

my destination was the rain forest on the border of the human and demon continents.it was a very arid place.The land was so dry and dense. the only plant there is a cactus tree.

however, there is one place that is called Rainforest.

because only the forest is rained water throughout the year.the forest is not too large.maybe only about 5 hectares of area.

in addition to the forest it has a straight tree like a towering green mushroom.around it is also surrounded by fog because of the humidity. it makes some adventurers sometimes get lost even worse still can not enter and exit the forest.

what is even worse is the texture of the land that is like a swamp. it makes adventurers also difficult to move and most of them are exposed to many monster attacks.

the essence of the forest is a death trap for adventurers.The monsters there are very dangerous and also ferocious.

the distance from the city of The Back and the Forest is very far, but by riding Momo. I can take it within 1 month only. whereas the original takes about 3 months of travel.

and this time I was right at the entrance of the forest that was shaped like a gate to enter a village but full of smoke puffs of fog that was very thick.

before entering the forest I raised my status first to be more resistant to all the toxins and curses that might affect me in the future.not to forget I also raised the status of Momo.

after that Momo changed to her cat mode and climbed onto my shoulder.

"all right, let's go in Momo"

"well, Miss Lana"

we began to enter the entrance and began to enter the fog with a slight flickering of it with my right hand.Slowly my body began to be swallowed by the mist and increasingly disappeared.

when I entered the fog a delusion began to strike me. delusions about my past as well as my faults.

slowly I began to drift in that delusion but Momo who was on my shoulder always reminded me not to get swept away in it.

I kept walking straight ahead while enduring the pain of having to look at my past. In my mind I was sick of seeing it and wanted to give up but my heart said to keep on crashing forward and through it.

with the smell and instinct Momo. not long ago we managed to get into the forest.and sure enough.

the ground was so soft that my feet sank into it. I used wind magic at my feet to fly over this forest land.

but it is also not a good choice because the monsters here always appear unexpectedly. often they came out of the ground and shocked me so much that I often fell on the marshy ground that sometimes almost drowned me.

but Momo was quick to always help me when I was in trouble.

the rain that continues to rain on this forest also makes my footing more difficult sometimes I also slipped because of it.

it has been a few hours I have penetrated this forest but all I have encountered are these forest-dwelling monsters. No monsters look suspicious yet.

only the suspicious here the monsters look very aggressive.usually most adventurers who attack monsters. very rarely monsters attack unless they feel disturbed. and yes. win is hunting.

the deeper I walked suddenly from a distance I saw an adventurer fighting a black bird-shaped monster.

"hey. lady, is it possible that the bird is a Daemon?" ask Momo

"i don't know Momo either. Let's watch from a distance" I replied

the adventurer looked troubled as he fought the black birds alone.I also saw around his friends lying down.

until not long ago, the adventurer was defeated by a flock of black birds.

the flock did not directly eat the adventurers.they only took the adventurers who seemed to faint went somewhere.

momo and I followed the birds silently, but the monsters seemed to come at me and not let me follow the bird.

but I just kept going through them.

the longer the flock the more the adventurers bring.There may be dozens of adventurers brought by the birds.

I continued to follow the bird until I finally reached the end of the road.at the end of the road it was a pretty deep cliff.

Momo came down from my shoulder and turned into a giant lion again.I went up to his back and started down the cliff.

under the cliff there is a vast expanse of flower garden.in the middle there is a large black creature in the shape of a human with horns on his head and also a wing on his back. sitting and looking up at the sky.

the blackbirds sent adventurers to the creature.

when the data blackbird brought the adventurers, the creature immediately opened its mouth, and the blackbirds then threw the adventurers into the large creature.

after that some of the black birds left and some were fused with giant black creatures.

"wow.. Momo has never seen a Daemon that big" Momo said.

we slowly began to approach the black creature, but suddenly something in my pocket glowed.

yes it was the ARK bracelet belonging to the person I was looking for. The bracelet reacted to the creature. When I took it out, its beam shot towards the giant black creature.

"hey Momo. could it be him..?" ask me.

"yes Miss. in view of the reaction of the ARK bracelet, Momo is sure that it is her" said Momo

the giant black creature also reacted and he immediately saw me and indiscriminately directly lunged towards me.

the bracelet in my hand was reacting even more.the bracelet began to fly and immediately shot towards the giant black creature.

the bracelet slid directly and hit the body of the giant black monster making the creature fall down and in pain.

slowly the bracelet entered the body of the giant black creature, it made him very sick and very angry.

while enduring the pain the creature then looked at me and took out a purple magic from its mouth and then shot it towards me like a laser gun.

I managed to dodge it, but the thing that was hit by the attack instantly disappeared instantly.

due to enduring the pain the creature's movements slowed down so much that I could easily catch it with my chains.

the monster continued to groan while casting that terrifying purple magic.

"Momo, throw me in the monster's mouth." I said

"what?! has Miss Lana gone mad?. What if Miss Lana was hit by a burst of purple magic? miss Lana could die instantly!" answer Momo

"just do it!" sahutku

Momo with the speed of lightning quickly darted over the creature.I then jumped from Momo's back and slid straight into the mouth of the giant black creature.

the huge creature immediately opened its mouth.from behind its mouth a purple light appeared and was ready to be fired.

not long after that creature shot the magic at me.

("if the purple light was really magic. surely with this I would be able to endure it") I thought

"reflective magic! reflexes"

a green-colored glass appeared in front of me. The purple magic attack was aimed directly at me but luckily it was reflected by the glass in front of me.

but that's not all. There is a small part that hit me. more precisely my right hand.which makes my right hand instantly disappear.

but I finally managed to get into the mouth of the black creature.I immediately used my recovery power and returned my right hand as usual.

entering into this creature was like diving into darkness.it felt so dark and all that was heard was the cries of those in pain.

but a small glimmer of light appeared before me. I then swam towards that light.

the closer I got to the light the brighter and brighter it turned out that the light came from the ARK bracelet.

and right in front of the ARK bracelet, a white-haired man curled up looking desperate and so depressed.

"no, I don't want to lose anyone anymore, I don't want to do this and that again in this world, someone help me."

I was sad and happy to see that person.right, it was him.the person I've been looking for all this time.the person who understands me the most and the person who cares about me the most.

the person who is called a warrior of light.yes, that person is R.

I slowly approached her and hugged her. After that, the ARK bracelet was directly wrapped around her hand. R and directly mounted on the same.

the light was getting brighter and the darkness around me was getting lost until it finally shattered like broken glass.

I also came out of the darkness along with R. along with the destruction of the black giant creature was destroyed.

I also used my wind magic to let us fall slowly to the ground covered by a field of flowers.

"i finally found you R." I said.

R just stammered and then pushed me.

"si, who are you?!!" asked R who looked scared to see me.

I slowly approached him but he kept moving away from me. R's face looked so pale. like it had been enduring pain for 1 year.

"don't approach me. Don't you know I'm a monster. I, I've eaten a lot of people. I can't even save anyone. Even to this day, I can't save anyone" r

"no, you can't save anyone. You saved me. That proves you didn't fail." I replied.

I kept approaching R but he was still away like a frightened stray cat.

"i said stay away! don't you understand my words.I don't even know how to stop this hunger."

"bite me" I said.

"what?"

"i said bite me, you'll understand R"

"good at your request"

R immediately ran towards me. I also resignedly accepted it. he pushed me so that I fell and pounded on the flower bed. After that R bit my shoulder and tore my chin a little. blood began to flow from my shoulders and R slowly swallowed my flesh.

R looked surprised he immediately stood up and looked astonished.I also stood up while healing my wounds.

"a, what is this? my hunger instantly disappeared."

I approached R and held his forehead with my index finger.

"sorry R maybe this is a bit painful."

I immediately cast recovery magic into R. This will have a painful effect on his head.

and sure enough, when R's memory returned, he immediately rolled around and was in pain on the ground.

I panicked about it too, but not long after R stood back up and immediately hugged me.

"ultimately, we can finally meet again Lana. Thank you for returning my memory back."

"i, yes R I'm also glad to see you again."

after that Momo suddenly appeared out of nowhere and entered into our happy moment again.

after one year of separation. Finally we gathered again. finally we can adventure back and continue our journey back, although maybe the future will be even more heavy.
