We should get there in about an hour.

Cale put the now accurate map back in his pocket before looking at his group.

Drip, drip.

Drops of blood were dripping from On’s sharp claws.

“Grr, Grrrrrr.”

A small monster that looked like a fox was twitching on the ground from being poisoned. The Black Dragon came over to report.

“All done.”

Close to twenty of these fox-like animals were dead.

‘They really are getting stronger with experience.’

On and Hong could not learn properly because they had to live in hiding as they had run away from their tribe. The Black Dragon naturally lacked experience after living in confinement his entire life. Cale was using the Forest of Darkness’s monsters to quickly fill those gaps in their training.

“Should I have fought as well?”

Where else would he get an opportunity to safely build experience? The Black Dragon and the kittens all abruptly turned their heads as Cale mumbled to himself.

“Seems like a useless idea!”

“Weak human, it is too much for you at this point. One day is enough.”

“Our youngest is right. You spit out blood from using the shield too much last time!”

Paseton let out a gasp.

“...Ho.”

However, Cale could see that Witira was just smiling brightly. He then saw her caress her whip with a determined gaze.

That was the look of someone who wanted to fight. She really was a scary person.

Cale quickly opened up his magic bag and gathered everyone around him.

“Everybody put this on before you go any farther.”

“Is it because of poison?”

“Yes.”

Cale answered Paseton’s question before putting the mask on the Black Dragon, who stuck his head toward him.

“Human. There is a weird scent.”

The Black Dragon frequently said this to Cale since a few days ago.

“What is it?”

“I don’t know. It is stronger here. It is something I am familiar with.”

“It is probably poison or the rotting smell from the nearby plants.”

Cale brushed it off and approached On. The Black Dragon that was ignored tilted his head while wearing the mask.

The Black Dragon started to mumble, but the mask prevented Cale from being able to hear what he was saying.

“...No. It is not such a trivial scent.”

However, the Black Dragon remained quiet because it was not a dangerous scent.

Cale then put the mask on On’s face.

‘Even Choi Han avoided this swamp.’

Choi Han had a pretty high resistance to poison. However, there was no reason to go through the swamp when there were many other paths in the Forest of Darkness while this path was messy and annoying.

Paseton approached Cale.

“It is really interesting that there are only two swamps in a forest this large.”

“Really? I don’t think so.”

Paseton could see Cale’s starting to smirk from underneath the mask. It was a pretty sly smirk.

“You’ll understand once you see it.”

Two swamps were enough. Cale verified that everyone had their masks on and checked their expressions. They had only been sleeping between 1 - 3 hours a night ever since they entered the Forest of Darkness.

Nobody looked tired.
