A magic circle in pure while finished and the golden shield protecting the child vanished.

This two-fold magic circle was comparable to a (tier-4) spell, and this boy was overdoing it.

His body wasn't enough to handle this skill, and it would hurt his soul.

The process of soul disintegration might accelerate, and the recoil from this skill might even throw him far away.

But those trivial things weren't important.

The boy locked his eyes at the place the creature was and the circle fired a beam of white light.

A beam filled with pure power and something that can kill any powerful monster in an instant.

In the unusually tranquil jungle filled with booms of the same origin, a different explosion shook the earth itself.

-Booooooooooooooooooommmmmmm!

As if a higher creature showed his wreath, the unreal sound killed small creatures.

Ears started bleeding, and trees shook from their core.

The fluctuations cracked the earth.

The eyes of the creature were looking down at the kid with hunger… for the first time, showed fear.

Yes... fear.

Something unexpected had happened in this place and the roles had been reversed for... just a brief moment.

The creature was hit by a powerful beam of light, and it was shot back many yards away.

Many 'yards' away.

And the boy's corpse was thrown many 'kilometers' away from the resulting recoil of this powerful skill.

It threw the carnage creature away but, that demonic bastard had no injuries at all.

Aside from the black burn on the surface of his body, there was nothing wrong with it.

But... the miraculous body of the boy had become a fountain that sparkled blood on the plants as it threw him.

His cold, motionless body was thrown away and his eyes that were blocked with dry blood blinked at this moment.

The skill had thrown him, but the place wasn't random.

At the precise place, the two peculiar trees created something of a gate.

A gate that was just normal, but there was nothing visible beyond these two trees.

But…

The ashen trunk, the fiery leaves, the peculiar appearance... nothing was visible to this miserable soul.

He was thrown into this place and all he could see was limited to what met the corners of his eyes that were still working.

He saw the different tree and sighed with his breathless lips.

At least, his aim was still as sharp as it has been honed all these years.

He crossed the gate, and... the world changed.

The change was unbelievable.

He should have been thrown on the rough, black ground of the dark forest where there was eternal night.

He should have been dead from the impact his body would suffer from the fall.

This place should be the same and cold, filled with the gruesome smell of blood, but... no.

He felt warm.

There was the light of the sun.

He felt grass.

There was grass, green, fresh grass under him.

Grass that was special in themselves and grass that had protected him.

From the corner of his eyes, he could only see the place he had landed so he wouldn't see the endless fields he was lying on.

The unbelievable scene of endless plain ground with few separate trees.

He couldn't see the beauty of this place and he couldn't admire it from his first view.

He couldn't see the enormous tower in the middle of these great plains.

A tower that seemed to reach the sky.

A masterpiece of sculpture and art.

His eyes were unmoving, and his body was lifeless.

The only thing he could see after his fall was the gate he had come from and the creature that had just walked in here.

Or... at least tried to enter before he was blocked by some transparent barrier.

He tried to force himself in with all his might and was able to succeed, too.

The brute power shown by him was unlike anything he had shown while chasing after him.

He passed through these strange trees after using his full strength that the boy that had… almost stopped breathing couldn't fathom.

He was laying here, in this strange place and the only sense in his body that worked best was his ears.

He couldn't move any part of his body, and his heart was barely beating.

But… he heard it.

He heard the sudden screams of the creature that had never shown any weakness to him, and his eyes regained some vitality for a moment.

And as he fixed his blur, blood blocked eyes back on the creature and the spectacle entered his weak vision.

He saw this.

He saw the creature that had chased after him burn alive at an unreal speed by... gorgeous, pure white flames?

Flames were so magnificent that the ancient fruit's shield looked dull compared to it.

Unreal flames that carried the elegance of a noble creature at the same time the power of the mighty.

This was soothing to his heart, and he was happy to hear this creature scream in more agony than he had suffered all this time.

But the screams weren't the only things there.

"Foolish creature. Just thinking about the power beyond the reach was a laughable thing but, to think it would enter this place with that filthy body.

How dare-, oh?

My, my.

What peculiar thing we have here~."

This was something he had heard after a long, long time.

A voice he had heard for the first time in his life in this great forest of Kamut.

This was a voice that oozed with wisdom.

This voice was old but still as young as the beginning.

But... more than anything, this was a voice.

This was a voice, and someone had just spoken.

And that someone had a voice like humans from what he had just heard.

"Hmmm. A special one~? Nature... as strange as ever."

The female voice said and got closer to him in an instant, close enough to put her palm on his head.

"Well done.

You are the strongest I had seen throughout my long lives, young boy.

A fool with a mind of an adult that had suffered in cold.

A powerful mind forged through the reality of life and death.

Haaa…

Good.

Now, go. Rest in the greatest peace.

I know we will have fun in the future, little one."

The warm voice stopped and the hand on his forehead cover him in the warm, white flames of calmness.

He lost consciousness, and the demonic creature vanished as if it had never existed in this realm.

Strange things happened in this short time, but one thing was certain.

The boy… would live.
