Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 188: Entrance to the Monster Forest.

What appeared was a boy with a sword on his waist. Next to him were two silver-armored bodyguards that looked extremely arrogant.

The boy had an annoying smile on his face with an ugly spotted face. Her hair was curly, and her nose was rather pug, almost looking like a potato. He was the second prince of Etienne Empire. From a long time ago, the prince was always chasing Liez and wanted to propose to him. But because of his bad attitude, Liez hated him. Despite that, the prince did not give up and continued to disturb Liez the entire time.

Liez and Lusian's mood became very bad at the moment. Even Lusian forgot to say hello to her senior brother.

"Oh, who is this. The third prince. I guess you don't dare to explore this and prefer to hide..."

His words were sarcastic and annoying. The prince had always wanted to compare himself to Lusian for some reason. But, he was an ordinary prince when compared to Lusian who had been talented since birth.

Lusian:"Senior brother, happened to meet. I want to ask you something about the academy."

"Oh, of course. To my talented junior sister-to-be, I'll be happy to answer."

Lusian: "Then can we go somewhere else?."

"Of course please lead the way."

Lusian was happy to hear it and invited Liez to come with them. There was actually nothing he wanted to ask, he just wanted to avoid the plague and stay as far away as possible.

He did not pay attention to the prince who was angry at being ignored that and continued to lead to go to one corner. What Lusian did not notice, there was a lady-carrier who was watching her from afar. The woman had a dirty face and unkempt hair. Her face showed a smile that made her little white fangs visible.

"Hey quickly pick up the stuff...!"

Hearing the snaps from a knight, the woman hid her smile and returned to lifting things onto the carriage. No one noticed that his eyes had become so cold and cruel.

Lusian took the two of them to one corner and heaved a sigh of relief.

Lusian:"Criss senior, sorry to drag you in on this."

Criss:"Haha... It's okay, but you have to pay me."

Lusian:"Of course. If I could, I'd do anything."

Criss:"Then treat me to a good meal."

Susian:"Ok."

They both spoke happily. Although he had not officially entered the academy, Criss and Lusian were both familiar. Especially because of their friendly and sociable personalities.

Liez:"Wait for Lusian, why are you here?."

Liez interrupted the conversation of the two of them and asked Lusian worriedly. He had not expected that his little sister would be involved in such a dangerous matter like this.

Lusian explained the reason why she was here to her sister. Lusian knew, if she did not explain everything to her sister, her sister would never stop asking.

Liez:"Then you can come back. I've been involved in this exploration, so there's no reason for you to be involved."

Lusian:"Sir, don't worry. There's grandparents and great-grandparents with me, so I'll be safe."

Liez:"But.."

Criss:"No need to worry. Although he had not officially entered the academy, but he was already considered a student. Added to his talent, the instructors would also come to protect him."

Lusian and Criss had to work hard for a while to convince Liez so he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Liez:"Coun. But you should always be next to your great-grandparents."

Lusian:"Don't worry brother."

The prince of Etienne Empire felt very angry at being ignored. He angrily walked towards Lusian and the others along with his bodyguards, intending to make trouble.

Bruk...!!

But before he reached the place of Lusian and the others, the Etienne Empire prince fell because someone hit him.

"Damn it, what are you doing!!."

The two guards immediately shouted to the person who hit the prince until he fell down. The one who hit the prince was a lady carrying goods in worn clothes who had been watching Lusian.

"M, sorry, sorry Your Highness the prince, s, i_"

Brug...!

Ahh...!

Before the baggage carrier finished his apology, he immediately fell to the ground for being kicked by one of the prince's bodyguards. Keep in mind, a knight uses boots covered by an iron plate, so you can imagine how much the carrier suffered after being kicked.

"A lowly slave like you, dares to run over a prince...!"

The bodyguard continued to kick and berate the carrier with harsh and cruel words. Seeing such a scene, the prince only smiled disdainfully and seemed to enjoy the suffering of the bearer who kept being kicked.

The bearer of the goods spewed blood and groaned in pain. The people who saw the scene could only remain silent, some even laughed at the bearer of the item.

Swos...!!

A slash of the crescent moon sword approached the soldier's chest very quickly.

Bangs... Ahhh...!

The guard knight was suddenly thrown backwards and fell to the ground. Everyone is surprised by that. Lusian approached the girl carrying the goods and helped her stand up. Next to him was Criss who had just sheathed his sword which he had used to hit the guard's knight.

"What are you doing, are you looking for trouble with the Royal family?."

Liez:"A trashy scoundrel like you, dare to say something to us?."

Liez had been holding him back for a long time. This time, he had completely given up his humiliation and his sense of regret to the trash prince.

Lusian:"This, drink...!"

Seeing that the carrier was still moaning in pain while holding his stomach that was kicked repeatedly by the Knight, Lusian immediately gave him a glass bottle filled with light green liquid inside.

Perhaps due to his severe injuries, the carrier did not respond and simply moaned there. Liez who saw this, he immediately grabbed the glass bottle and drank it to the carrier girl.

A moment later, the bruises and wounds involved on the girl's face began to heal slowly, her face that looked in pain had also begun to subside.

As the carrier was completely healed, he looked at Liez and the others with a grateful look. He stood up from the ground and thanked me constantly.

Criss:"It's okay, it's just a little thing."

Lusian:"That's right. Next time you have to be careful."

"S, I understand. Thank you." Thank you."

After saying that, the carrier again lifted a heavy sack that fell to the ground and went to a freight train.

"Humphs.... Is now a talented prince liking a slave..."

"It's definitely gonna be a beautiful story, prince."

The prince and his two bodyguards spoke cynically to Lusian and the others. Especially the knight who was dropped on the ground, he had a very disgusting face as he looked at Lusian and her friends.

"I'm not interested here anymore. Let's go."

"Good Prince"x2.

The three of them left and left Lusian's group who had a cloudy face behind.

Criss:"Here you go, let's go. I want to see the instructor, are you guys coming?."

Liez:"Sorry Senior Criss, I have to go with my sister to meet my great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

Criss:"Ok then, I'll see you again."

Criss left and waved to the two of them. Seeing him leave, Lusian and Liez also went together towards his great-grandfather and great-grandmother who were talking to some elders from other countries to get information.

There were about twelve elders gathered including great-grandfather and great-grandfather. They discussed something while standing up and looking serious. Before they could say hello, the elders saluted each other and went to their respective groups.

Finished discussing some matters with the other elders, Eleina and Lowen also went to his entourage. As they turned around, they saw Lusian and Liez who were also walking towards them.

Liez:"Great grandfather, great grandmother."

Lowen:"Hmm... Get yourself ready soon, we'll be leaving town."

Lusian:"So hasty?."

Eleina:"Yeah. Everyone was worried that something bad was going to happen. Therefore, everyone wants to accelerate exploration and find out what really happened."

Lowen:"Everyone decides to at least arrive at the edge of the forest before dark."

Lusian:"I understand."

Liez:"Then, I will return to the troupe."

Seeing his sister leaving, Lusian stopped him.

Lusian:"Sir, you must be careful."

Liez:"Yeah. You don't worry, there's a deputy dean who will protect us."

Hearing that the vice dean also participated in this exploration, Lusian was reassured a little. Although the vice dean of Sky Sword Academy was not as strong as his great-grandfather and great-grandmother, but the vice dean had already reached the Transformation level, so there was no big problem to protect his sister.

Lowen:"Don't worry. Sky Sword Academy and Sky Domination Academy will be walking with us. So, we'll meet them again."

Eleina:"Also, the vice dean of the Sky Domination Academy and the instructor of Gozales also came along, so there's nothing to worry about."

Eleina approached and patted Lusian on the shoulder with a smile to give her some calmness. Lusian has been reassured by her grandparents. Instructor Gozales and the Vice Dean of the Sky Domination Academy were also very strong. They were a bit of Arcangel level fighters that existed on this continent. Even if all the continents were to merge, the two of them would also gain rankings. After all, Arcangel is as rare as the person who won the lottery.

All the troops started to get busy and prepared to leave. After all the preparations were completed, the carriages of all the groups began to line up at the gates of the border town. This scenery can be said to be very lively in the border city between the human and monster areas which are usually very quiet and rarely visitors.

The leading trains were led by the Ambergris Empire group which was the strongest country today in the entire continent. There was actually no provision on which train would go in which part, but unknowingly all the troops would give the leading room to the Ambergris empire. Even the five super academies were unwilling to deal with them.

Without a definite advantage, people were reluctant to deal with the madmen of the Ambergris Empire.

.....

As expected, they all arrived at the edge of the forest just as the sun was sinking. From the top of the hill, the pillar of light looked even more vivid and dazzling. All of the ferocious beasts and monsters in this forest seemed extremely calm and unseemly when that pillar of light first appeared. It can even be said that this forest became very quiet.

All the troops began to prepare campgrounds and bonfires to warm themselves. Only one large campfire in the middle of the camp was lit as a gathering place for all the troops to discuss the follow-up actions they would take after entering the forest. And some small campfires to warm up the food.

The great armies began to form their own groups with similar interests and plans. Their hostile group also shunned their enemies and formed another cooperation with their allies.

Although it currently looks harmonious on the outside, but actually the inside is full of fire. Can be imagined how difficult it is to unite the thoughts of many groups that have different interests. So, it cannot be denied that the inside of this exploration team will be a little tenuous.

When night falls, every troop will put people on guard for the night. Especially just in case of monsters that might come out to hunt at night. With all sorts of dangers lurking, the night felt very long.

Until the sun slowly appeared, the tension in people's hearts could subside a little. They all started to prepare breakfast and prepared to immediately enter the monster forest that was very rarely touched by humans.

Not only them, but the baggage bearers also started to prepare with their luggage. The horse-drawn carriage cannot enter the forest, therefore, everyone's goods will be carried by a number of people carrying goods.

Liez:"Lusian, are you ready?."

Liez walked into Lusian's tent preparing herself.

Lusian:"Yes, I'm ready."

This time Lusian wore a shiny silver armor with a long sword at her waist. His youthful appearance and with a bright smile, made him look like an energetic young knight.

The three powers including Sky Sword Academy and Sky Domination Academy gathered with the Linchen imperial group to enter the forest together. Many other groups were made up of various forces that entered into the forest through different paths. In addition to danger, this forest also stores a large number of treasures Karun, both ancient relics and natural treasures Karun, Karun, so many forces refused to rush into the forest so that their profits would not be divided. They had only entered the forest with their allies who had reached a certain agreement.

The various forces did not bother each other, other than finding out the origin of that pillar of red light, they also focused on their respective goals.

The Lusian group consisted of only twenty-five people including four baggage bearers and six knights. As soon as he entered the forest, Lusian felt that this forest had become even scarier than the last time he had come to hunt. After all this time they were going to the meadow which was on the other side of the forest, so maybe this was just his feeling mixed with nervousness.

Due to the existence of the strong people, no low-level ferocious beasts were willing to approach Lusian's group and the others. Although their journey was smooth to date, but none of them dared to relax his vigilance.

Lowen: "I feel that this forest is becoming strange."

Eleina:"Yeah. This forest is so desolate it's too quiet to be suspicious."

The sun was almost drowning again at this time. They had already entered the forest so deep, but they still had not found a single monster. This is very strange for a monster forest, where monsters run rampant.

Lowen:"Okay, tonight we're going camping in this place."

"Yes." Yeah."

Carriers immediately drop off their luggage after carrying it for a day. After the tent was set up, they started a fire to repel the insects and warm the food they brought.

By traveling like this, it can take up to fifteen days to get to the other side of the forest and see the meadows.

Liez:"That's why the air in this forest is colder than outside."

Lowen:"No. It shouldn't be this cold."

Hearing that, intentionally or unintentionally, Liez brought herself closer to the instructor out of fear. Liez was not a timid woman, but in this forest of monsters, no one knew what would happen.

Grosa... Grosas...

Hearing the sound of the bushes rustling, Everyone was instantly on guard.

"Oh, it's you guys."

They were relieved and slightly let go of their vigilance after seeing that the ones coming were the people from the Ambergris Empire and Etienne Empire. Right now, Barbrosa, the prince of the Etienne Empire saw Lusian and the others with very annoying faces.

"Greetings to the elders."

Unlike the arrogant prince Barbrosa, prince Julius of the Ambergris Empire bowed and paid polite respects to Eleina and the others.

Other than them, there were about eleven knights from both groups, and four people who were dressed casually. One among the four people was an old woman with a wrinkled face but had a good smile on her face. On his left forehead there is a complicated red pattern that is said to be a totem.

Liez:"Julius, what happened to you. You look so tired?."

Julius was indeed a little breathless and his clothes were a little messy. Since the two of them were old friends, so Liez did not have any courtesy to her.

Julius:"Oh, it's Miss Liez. Nothing, I just met a bunch of jackals. Although the strongest ones were only General Knight level, but their large numbers made it very troublesome. Moreover, my great-grandfather and grandmother told me to fight against them myself."

"Humphs... If we keep helping you, when will you grow."

The old woman immediately gave Julius a dissatisfied eye. This grandson is the one he loves. He only wanted to train Julius to be a powerful warrior.

Hearing his grandmother, Julius could only sigh helplessly. In the Empire, who did not know that his grandmother was so stubborn.

Eleina:"That's right. You guys, join us."

Eleina also approved the old woman's words. They were also old acquaintances, so Eleina did not mind to invite them to join.

"Oh, ancestor El. I'm so honored to have an invitation from you."

Although the woman reached the Angel level, but in front of a God of War, she was only a small person. Especially that Eleina was from the same generation as her uncle.

"Eleina, you still look beautiful as usual."

An old man about forty years old spoke to Eleina with a smile on his face.

Lowen:"Doglas, don't make up your mind about my wife."

Looking at the person who spoke, Lowen was very dissatisfied. They were rivals in the past and the present, their levels of strength were the same. Salama for years, they kept competing in everything. But, as a result they can both compensate each other except that Lowen manages to get Eleina as his wife and defeats Doglas who also likes Eleina.

Doglas:"You're bullshit."

Fortunately, his wife did not participate in this activity. Otherwise, he would have been beaten by his wife.

They continued to say many pleasantries while waiting for their tent to be set up. In this circle, the people from the Etienne Empire barely interfered other than the two elders who were in discussions with the others. Finally, everyone decided to go together, let alone they had found some Transformation level monsters.

Although that level could be defeated easily by them, but this was not half the forest. With this, it can be ensured that in the depths of the forest will become more dangerous. It would be safer if everyone went together.

.....

The sun was slightly dimmed as it was blocked by the tree umbrella. Under the shadow of a lush tree, about forty people walked through the forest and continued to go deeper.

"Hhhh...!"

Suddenly there was a scream in the back row of the team. Lusian and the others who heard that, they immediately turned their backs on their guard and saw what was happening.

A knight from Etienne Empire kicks a lady with a cargo. It was the same woman who was kicked when she accidentally hit Barbrosa. Barbrosa still held a grudge against the carrier, so she deliberately made a mistake for the carrier and blamed him.

"You dare to break the prince's sword, you..."

Lusian:"Stop!!."

Before the knight kicked back, Lusian had already stopped him and helped the carrier stand up. Lusian snatched the broken sword held by Barbrosa. After a few checks, Lusian knew that it was just the cunning wits of Barbrosa to blame the bearer of this item.

Without saying much, Lusian threw the broken sword back at Barbrosa and left it.

After that little incident, they resumed their journey to pass through the forest.

Lowen:"Stop."

Suddenly Lowen stopped the group. The feeling of danger made his hair goosebumps. Sensing that, he looked to the right and to the left, making everyone become extremely vigilant. Not only Lowen, Doglas also felt it. Since the two of them were the strongest, they immediately arranged for the others to form a defensive formation.

They asked Druma and Eleina to protect the others.

Ahhh...!

From the back row suddenly a knight shouted. His legs were twisted and dragged by long green tendrils. In the green tendrils there are very sharp red thorns.

An elder from Etienne Empire who saw that, he immediately went towards the tendril and tried to cut it with a sword.

But the vine was not cut. The tendrils that look soft and pliable it turns out to be very difficult to cut. Seeing that, the elder directly pulled back his sword and coated his sword with mana to cut the tendril.

Before the sword fell into the tendril, another tendril moved extremely fast and swung like a whip towards that person. After all he was one of the high-ranking warriors, so his body reflexes were also very good. Seeing the attack, he immediately jumped into the air and dodged the tendril.

A huge tree over eleven meters tall was instantly cut very neatly by the tendril. The sight was very surprising.

The trees in this forest are very strong and difficult to cut. But the tendril could cut a large tree very neatly, can be imagined how strong the sweep of the tendril was.

The elder was also startled and immediately took some distance. He could only see the knight being dragged into the depths of the forest.

Ahhhh....!!

The atmosphere was silent for a while, but suddenly a knight from Etienne Empire was dragged back by the green tendrils and disappeared in the depths of the forest.

Doglas:"All form a circle."

They all formed a circular formation to guard against the tendril attack. They did not know where the tendril was attacking from, so they could only wait for the tendril to reappear nervously.

Eleina:"Lowen, how strong is that tendril?."

Lowen:"From his energy aura, it might be equivalent to Pope, or even higher."

Doglas:"Damn... How could a monster of that level appear in this place...!!."

In a forest environment like this, it was extremely disadvantageous for them. The sneak attack from the tendril was terrifying and unpredictable.

It's really a very bad situation...
