Chapter 51.1: Hallnta (2) 6 ! Thank you to Reikichi, Orphylia, Hillpond and Shinonema for the donations! ^^
The environntal characteristics of the demonic lands existing on the continent varied.
In so places, lava pillars spewed out of the earth, in so places lightning struck a dry sky, and in so places, even the water that was poured out in the extre cold imdiately froze.
Compared to such other demonic lands, Hallnta’s environnt and topography belonged to the diocre axis.
This was why even after entering the entrance, Asher and I could still ride horses.
The sun is no longer visible.
I looked up at the sky filled with almost black dark clouds.
Because of those clouds, it was almost as dark as night when it was still broad daylight.
It was a landscape with that kind of atmosphere that would co to mind naturally when one thought of the end of the world.
Keek!
And the monsters that popped out from ti to ti were a bonus.
Asher’s sword cut a monster in half that had fallen from the cliff and rushed at them.
The monsters that they encountered were all on the weak side, so whenever they appeared, Asher took care of them.
There are really a lot of monsters here.
The number of encounters was incomparable to the ones we usually encountered when passing through forests or mountain ranges. That’s probably why it’s considered a demonic land.
It’s not a big deal, but I already feel tired just thinking of how annoying it would be when we had to sleep at night.
I looked at the map again and thought about the place where the mystery was hidden.
A huge rock in the shape of a tower in the center of the demonic land.
And a cave sowhere.
It was a place that appeared during that bastard’s flashbacks in the ga.
Still, for this mystery, all I had to do was go to the central area of the demonic land and find the rock, so I could pinpoint the exact location.
After a few days of travel, we finally entered a forest.
They were not green trees that were expected of a typical forest, but rotten old trees with only black-colored leaved.
As we walked along the eerie forest path, I looked around.
The trees also had dark-colored fruits, which I examined.
Although Hallnta was quite ordinary, there was a point that clearly set it apart from other demonic lands. It was the plants.
There were plants that seed to grow without undergoing the germination process.
So had deadly poisons, while others had great dicinal effects.
That’s…
Among them, I found one fruit and my eyes widened.
A round fruit the size of a lon with a black rind and reddish cracked texture.
The fruits hung like grapes until they almost touched the ground.
As I got closer, the large insects that had been eating a single fruit that had fallen to the ground flew and scattered.
I picked one fruit in good condition.
In the ga, because of trying to get more achievents, I had to spend a lot of ti gathering herbs and fruits in Hallnta, so I knew what this was.
Monstache fruit.
It didn’t really have any beneficial effects on the body.
However, unlike its appearance, it was the fruit with a setting of having a heavenly taste that was to die for.
It was pretty hard to find in the ga, but I was lucky enough to co across it here.
I couldn’t help but wonder about the taste, so I took a small bite of it. The flesh had a crunchy texture.
Wow···
As soon as I ate it, I was overwheld by the intense sweetness that spread in my mouth.
I could see why the ga called it heavenly taste. As soon as I took one bite, I had to admit it right away.
As I savored the sweetness, I turned my head.
Next to , Asher was looking at with a slightly bewildered look.
It probably looked strange that I suddenly picked a fruit and ate it. Especially since the fruit in question looked like a lump of cold lava.
“You should try it as well.”
As I grabbed another one and held it out, Asher was silent and shook her head.
“···I’m fine.”
“I’m not forcing you, but if you don’t eat it, you’ll regret it.”
It’s a waste to taste this delicious food alone.
When I said that, she seed to be curious about it, so she accepted it with hesitation.
Then she took a small bite and opened her eyes.
I smiled and ate the fruit I was eating. It was so large that I was full after eating just one.
“Let’s keep going.”
As I was about to move forward again, I heard a popping sound from behind.
When I turned my head, Asher picked another fruit and put it in her mouth.
She gulped the fruit she was chewing with a look as if she was a kid who had been caught stealing candy.
“···Sorry.”
“It’s fine.”
What’s wrong with eating more if one wanted to?
