Truth Seekers

Chapter 65: Solo Party

This is no good!

“Do you want us to enter a place that even a fairy fears?” asked Richard with an angry face.

“Opss, looks like you mistook.”

“So so yes-” Lymph cut off Richard's greeting.

“I mean this quest will only be done by Dom a.”

For a moment the atmosphere became silent.

“WHAT?!!” shouted Richard.

“Se-himself?”

Dom instantly glanced towards the inner forest with a panicked face.

Ah no. Why does it feel like the forest looks so scary.

The inner forest is the area most overgrown by large trees. Moreover, there are no residents or adventurers so that the atmosphere in the place is slightly different.

Richard immediately pulled Lyfa's shirt because he was really upset.

“Hey, are you kidding us?” furious Richard.

“What is this attitude of yours? Do you want to go against the decision of a Dryad?!” lefa insisted because he felt his self-esteem was lowered.

“If it is necessary to protect my students, then anything I will do.”

“Let me tell him all your secrets?” ask Leafa with a threatening face.

Richard increasingly pulled the clothes used by Lyfa. Her aura was more dangerous than all the inhabitants in this forest, and it was aimed at a fairy.

“I don't care anymore. Even if it had to kill you, then I would,” said Richard who was filled with hateful gazes.

“Relax Uncle Richard,” persuade Dom.

That expression really made Lyfa die a flea like he was dealing with a monster.

This was completely different from the previous anger.

“Alright, first you lower your hands off me.”

Richard lowered his hand and removed his aura.

“If you do not give a clear reason, then we will return home.”

“Huh .. you should already know why I want Dom to undergo this quest alone.”

“Emm honestly, I don't really understand. Wouldn't it be safer to go together with a strong person?” ask Dom.

“It's true, but you also have to look at other aspects. Richard's existence may be the strongest in this forest, so I'm afraid your teacher will always be the target of powerful monsters.”

“Then what's the problem? I'm just gonna root them all out!” shouted Richard.

“Looks like you're taking this too lightly. Mutated monsters would always keep an eye on a creature that had an aura as well as a powerful mana core. Moreover, I am not worried about you, but Dom.”

“I?” point Dom towards his body.

“True. Because the aura and its overflowing power made its existence very easy to be known by the enemy. Of course because of that you can also be involved in danger. If that happens, I'm afraid your teacher can't protect you constantly.”

“HA?! Are you underestimating me? It's obvious I can protect Dom-” Lyfa instantly interrupts.

“Didn't you remember venturing into Mount Greenfield, where you couldn't protect Dom and were sucked into a mirror?” firmly Lyfa.

“But if you tell us from the beginning. Then that would never happen!” shouted Richard.

“Despite that, can you protect her at this time?! I don't intend to separate you, but understand.”

There was a bit of debate, although eventually the words of Lymph made Richard bowed lethargic and lost his spirit.

“I just don't want Dom to fate the same as my son before. Because ... she is my precious family,” she said with a sad face.

Dom could do nothing and was only moved by Richard's attitude of trying to protect him to such an extent.

Ah .. when I'm not his son. But his attitude as an uncle was too good.

“Dom has a thin existence, because the user of the earth element does not show too much aura. Moreover, right now, he had not been able to use the element of darkness. So, only he can do it.

“I won't force you either. But, please quickly make a decision because our time is limited.”

“Limited?” ask Dom.

“I'll explain that later. But there is more important than that.”

“Maybe this is a very selfish request from me. But, trust me I won't force you to do this.”

Dom was just listening and did not understand the meaning of Lyfa's words.

“If you can, please save this forest from those monsters. As a Dyr, I failed. But ... I also do not want my territory to continue to be controlled by others, especially as a nest of monsters.”

Leafa continued to bow his head. Since he begged sincerely, Richard simply fell silent and handed all his decisions to Dom.

“Please wake up fairy, no need to get like that, right? Ahahaha,” said Dom while holding his head in shame.

Leafa raised his head with a sad face.

“Sorry, but I don't have anyone here. So I can only rely on you guys right now,” exclaimed with a smile.

Ah ... My responsibilities are getting heavier. But, Miss Lyfa has helped me so much, I have to!

After finalizing his intentions, Dom approaches Richard and makes a decision.

“Uncle ...,” greet Dom with a smile.

Richard just glanced.

“I know you're very worried about me. But, I also want to become stronger, didn't uncle himself say that?” ask Dom.

“Yah you're right .. but-”

“For these three years I have become stronger. So, there's no reason for me to back out at the moment. I hope uncle understands.” Dom gave a confident answer so Richard could take it off.

Ah ... this boy. I don't know why he can always get through any situation by relying on his brain. Hopefully this time it will be like that too.

Richard rose from his depression and became cheerful as ever.

“That's my new student. Well, if that's what you want, I won't ban you. After all you are free to make choices while you are on the right path,” exclaimed Richard while giving him a thumbs up.

“Thank you .. uncle.”

Leafa just smiled at their behavior.

I'm sorry. Dom. But according to my prophecy, only you can do it and finish him off. I hope that's true.

After that, Dom began to bring equipment and maps provided by Lyfa.

Moments later on the border between the central and inner areas.

“OK son, you should be able to do it and return safely.”

“Hahaha it doesn't feel like you alone uncle.”

“I wish you well .. Dom.”

Dom waved his hand and started to enter the interior of the Teraria Forest.

“I'm sorry for being rude earlier,” exclaimed Richard.

“I see, after all I acted like that for Dom to go on this mission. Plus, my gut feeling about him is very good.”

“Is that so?”

“Ah not really. It's just my habit ahaha.”

“It's not funny damn!”

Move to the inner area.

“Nguk nguk.” There was the sound of an owl in the distance.

“From now on, I can't count on anyone. I will not be careless anymore, and also, my current target is to find a powerful monster that is being injured. After that, I took the mana core and jreng jreng finished!”

That was the first sentence Dom said when he set foot in the inner area of the Teraria Forest. His words were full of confidence and like assuming everything would go easy. But what actually happened.

“UWAAAAAAAAA WHY THIS PLACE IS SO CREEPY! AND AGAIN, WHY ARE SO MANY MONSTERS CHASING AFTER ME!!!”

Though the fairy said my existence is not too big. Is he not lying?

“Groaaa!” so many monster screams.

“UAA NO!”

A few minutes after he said that. Dom made a lot of mistakes, including accidentally disturbing sleeping monsters, and getting lost in a crowd of trees that were so dense.

Why be like this shit!
