I Became a Druid whom the Different Races are Obsessed With - Chapter 77



77 – First Experience

Me and Piy. And Shizu started chasing the humans who had run away into the forest.

With the rabbit’s hearing and the wolf’s sense of smell awakened, the location of the humans was quickly able to be determined.

As I was running through the forest and following the human’s footsteps, Pii, who was hiding in the breastplate, stuck out his head and started worrying about me.

[Gaul. Even if you don’t come forward, no one will say anything. There’s no need to go overboard with looking after us. You know, right?]

“Okay. “It would be inconvenient for a druid to be ruined because of a minor problem.”

In response to Piyi’s concern, Shizu also looked at me and expressed concern.

In fact, these two people were the only ones who knew about my human side, so their concerns were a great source of support to me.

I nodded lightly and answered.

“I know. “I’m not overdoing it, so don’t worry.”

The fact that the only people who know my human side are Shizu and Piyi means, on the other hand, that no one will be disappointed even if I turn against humans.

Even if I was a traitor to a race that turned its back on the humans, they wouldn’t be able to point a finger at me if they didn’t know that I was a human.

‘I think Piy and Shizu would still do the same even if I killed a human.’

Thinking like that made me feel lighter.

I sprinted even faster, breathing in the mana of the forest mixed with the smell of blood.

I began to see the adventurers who had run away far away.

“There are four people. “How many people are you going to catch?”

“I have to catch everything I can.”

The adventurers who had run away were gathered in a group and moving along the border of the forest.

It seemed like he was afraid to run away into the depths of the forest because he had seen a high elf and a ley beast.

In a way, it was a natural action.

Running into the forest to avoid elves and beastmen was a foolish act, no different from suicide.

“Then I will lock them up.”

Upon discovering her adventurers, Shizu immediately cast her magic and entered the battle.

Shizu’s dark yellow-green mana was offered to Trius, and in return, large-scale natural magic unfolded before her eyes.

– Kugugugugung─!

“What is this! “aaah!!”

As Shizu’s mana seeped into the ground, the stimulated forest began to move.

With the rough rumbling of the ground, the trees became entangled with each other, forming a huge barrier surrounding the adventurers.

The adventurers screamed in fear and tried to escape the siege, but there were no gaps in the barrier erected with the power of Trius.

Natural magic on an enormous scale that changes the surrounding area. Just by looking at it, it was clear that a huge amount of mana had been consumed.

I was astonished with my mouth wide open at such an overwhelming sight.

It was an incredible magic that once again showed the power of Siege.

“That’s it. I guess I can leave the capture to you now, right? “If you’re not really overdoing it, try acting like a druid.”

Soon, when the ground shaking stopped, Shizu spoke to me.

Judging by the sweat on his forehead and his rough breathing, he seemed to be exhausted due to consuming a lot of mana.

“Okay. “You are resting here.”

If it were Shizu, she would have been able to move efficiently and capture the adventurers alive.

The reason she used such large-scale magic to trap the adventurers was probably because she sensed my resolve and gave me an opportunity to act.

I stood up, expressing my gratitude for Shizu’s unique and prickly consideration.

Inside the huge duel hall built on the border of the forest, four adventurers were showing their fear-filled lives.

“Me, wooden armor? “Is that really a spirit tree?”

“Damn. “It looks like our lives end here.”

The adventurers showed different reactions when they saw me enter the duel arena.

Some people were crying out of excessive fear, while others were holding onto their swords as if they were in trouble.

I adjusted my deer horn helmet and approached the adventurers.

Even though I wanted to capture him alive, I couldn’t force him to do anything, so I thought I would first see if he was someone I could communicate with.

Thanks to the helmet, I don’t have to worry about it being discovered that I am human.

The adventurers didn’t look threatening, but they let their guard down and opened their mouths softly.

“If any of you are willing to surrender, tell me.”

The adventurers’ reactions to my question were divided into two.

There were two adventurers who tried to step forward, probably because they thought they had an opportunity, and two people who did not believe me and blocked their colleagues.

Even with the enemy right in front of them, they seem to be having a conflict of opinion among themselves.

I quietly watched this pitiful behavior.

“Tu, I will surrender! So please save me!”

“Come to your senses! There’s no way a high elf would save a human!”

“But there is information that elves are quiet these days! If there is even a glimmer of hope, I will hold on! “I don’t want to die like this!”

“Do you really believe such nonsense? Right after everyone was killed by the high elf you see over there? Being taken prisoner for no reason will only prolong your suffering! Wake!”

It looked like they were whispering among themselves, but thanks to the rabbit’s hearing, the entire conversation was clearly heard.

Anyway, the elves have become calmer these days?

It was an absurd story that I could not sympathize with at all from my perspective as a high elf.

‘But there must be a reason why such rumors spread.’

As expected, since they only live in the great forest, there seems to be a severe lack of information on the human side.

It seemed that capturing adventurers and digging up information was not an option, but a necessity.

So then, what would be a good way to extract information?

Should we imprint fear in our minds and make them shake it off? Or should we show favor and let down our guard?

I opened my mouth quietly to clearly decide on a course of action.

“If you answer everything I ask, I won’t kill you. What are you going to do? Will you surrender obediently? Or will you get hit a few times and get caught?”

At my words, fearful and doubt appeared on the adventurers’ faces.

They looked at each other’s faces, gathered their opinions, and then asked me a question.

“What do you want to ask?”

The representative who spoke was a middle-aged man who was quietly observing the situation.

It seemed like he thought he had to get his money’s worth, but judging from the way he adjusted his sword, it seemed like he wasn’t nervous.

I don’t think there’s any need to lie.

I gave honest answers to their questions.

From Noble mtl dot com

“Everything. “I want all the information from your human side.”

“Everything?”

“Okay. “Everything from trivial rumors to important information.”

“Well, that’s…” .”

In short, they were telling us to betray our own people and reveal all information.

If you have a sense of belonging to the human race, this may be a proposal that you might reject.

However, the adventurers seemed to prioritize their own safety over a sense of belonging.

They distorted their expressions as if they were reluctant and nodded.

“I understand. “If you let me live, I will give you all the information I know.”

“Okay. “Well thought out.”

“But we also need a trustworthy promise. “There is no guarantee that it will be safe even after digging up all the information.”

“I guess so. “If the question is answered, there is no reason to keep you alive.”

“That’s right. “Before providing information, we need to be confident that you will save us.”

“Hmm.”

The middle-aged adventurer seemed to have a cautious personality.

Even in a desperate situation, I could feel his skill in the way he clearly said what he wanted to say.

‘I can hear the head rolling all the way from here.’

But it didn’t look that good to my eyes.

I tried to resolve the matter peacefully by approaching the situation in a moderately friendly manner, but I did not like the way they seemed to be trying to take care of their own conditions because it was a promise or assurance.

Information coming from such a cool-headed mouth is bound to lose credibility.

I had no choice but to use fear rather than good will to dig up information.

“You guys seem to be misunderstanding something. “Now this is not a deal, it’s a threat.”

After hearing my words, the adventurers began to tremble in fear again.

Seeing that, I ended the conversation with unrefined turquoise mana blooming.

“You should have answered honestly instead of turning a blind eye. “Unfortunately, it looks like you need a little beating.”

The adventurers immediately distanced themselves from me due to the somewhat extreme remarks.

It seems like he felt something similar to living after seeing my mana.

“Ugh! Crazy high elf bastard! “Don’t think that I will die obediently!”

“Lord, I don’t want to die… “I can’t die here!”

“As expected, it happens like this.”

Two swordsmen grab their weapons in desperation. A wizard crying and pointing his wand. And even a middle-aged adventurer looking around and examining the escape route.

Reactions were different, but all four adventurers seemed intent on fighting me.

“I guess they were planning to dig up information and then kill us.”

“I believed it! “I really believed it!!”

I didn’t want to fight, but the surest way to instill fear in them was to beat them up a few times.

It would have been better to show an overwhelming difference in power and break all will to resist.

The more you hit, the more raw information will come out, and if that happens, the reliability of the information will also naturally increase.

As I watched the wizard casting a fireball, all the wild things sleeping inside me were awakened at once.

“Hey, what is that!”

“Shoot! Hurry up and shoot!!”

The keenness of a wolf and the flexibility of a fox. The agility of a rabbit and the steadfastness of an ox. Lastly, the strength of the courser.

It awakened all five wild natures and took on their forms on one body.

My appearance on the outside probably looks more like a monster than a human.

In a way, it was a natural reaction for the human adventurers to attack in fear.

– Grumbling!!

The wizard shot out a fireball, and the wooden barriers surrounding it glowed brightly.

This was my first experience fighting directly with humans, but their attacks with all their might did not feel threatening.

Rather, I feel like I need to lose my strength and fight.

I suppressed my wild excitement and rushed through the fireball.

━━━━━━!!!

Only three at a time so as not to kill anyone. And avoid hitting the head.

After making that decision, I became a monster and started rampaging among the adventurers.
