“Pant. Pant.”

Resh was swept away by the explosion. The moment he resurrected, he started running back to the World Tree’s Forest. Naturally, he knew that he couldn’t help even if he went there. It might even be too late by the time he arrived.

‘However.’

Resh didn’t worry about his stamina. Arriving at the forest was his task so he ran constantly.

‘I have to catch Kyle’s eye for a moment to create a gap.’

It would be a very small gap. Still, that variable could be a strength for someone. Of course, it was too optimistic. Nevertheless, it was the right thing to do even if there was only a 0.01% chance. This was a knight.

“Grid!”

Resh shouted once he finally arrived at the World Tree’s Forest.

“Mercedes!”

His voice grew louder as he followed the traces of destruction and approached the scene of the battle.

“Asmophel!”

Resh was desperate. Lee Jeong and Kyle were monsters. It might be different if the battle was with Lee Jeong and Mercedes alone, but Kyle was resurrected. They would never be easy opponents for Grid.

“Grid...!”

Resh prayed. He prayed and prayed for them to be safe. Then suddenly...

“Ah...”

He arrived at the scene, and then he saw it.

“I will keep that in mind!!”

Kyle was bowing in front of Grid.

“...??”

“Eh? It is Resh.”

What was this? Grid’s group was intact, the war god followers had disappeared without a trace, and Kyle was lying flat on his face. Grid waved to Resh, who was stunned by the unexpected sight. “Resh, were you acting with them?”

Grid knew that Resh was Dulandal’s knight. He had heard the story in person and after exploring the Abyss with Resh and Coke, Grid knew that Resh had opened up affinity with Dulandal as part of the quest reward.

“That’s correct. I, also, the elves...”

Resh didn’t say many words. It was Dulandal’s command and Kyle’s coercion that forced him to invade the forest. He couldn’t bear to hurt the elves. Resh didn’t make these excuses. He had chosen to be Dulandal’s knight and it was true that he killed the elves in the other small forests before arriving here at the World Tree’s Forest.

“...”

Resh lowered his head. He was heartbroken when he saw the miserable faces of the elf survivors, who had no more than 10 people left. Then an unexpected person came to Resh’s side. It was one of the surviving elves. Once again, she had lost precious friends and family to humans. She hated and cursed humans yet she held Resh’s trembling hands.
