I Reincarnated as a Teacher of the Heroine

Chapter 188 – Most of the demons have poor character

The tree spirit king was laughing. Her insides were twisted and twisted, so distorted that even the other spirit kings waved their hands. He hated, hated, and wanted to annihilate humans, but he couldn’t do that, so he was only grinding his teeth.

Of course, Airi, who had no way of knowing that fact, was taken aback, and her head went blank. Among the spirit kings she contracted with, he was the most friendly. Even after everything was over, he was a kind being who continued to send animals like squirrels and mountain birds to talk to her.

[for a moment…]

[In the first place, if it wasn’t for the order, I wouldn’t have made a pact with a kid like you. No, I didn’t even make a contract with a dirty creature like a human being. Well, you’re a bit better than a normal human, but aren’t you just there? That’s not enough to be a reason to make a contract with you while trampling on my creed.]

Peresa, the spirit king of the trees, manipulated the roots of the trees and aimed at the heads of everyone present. To her, humans were just impurities polluting her forest. To her, humans, no elves, and beings who could talk were always like that. They were noisy, violent, rowdy, blood-splattering nuisances.

“Keugh…”

Galahad of the Black Round Table, who was caught first, was able to move on his own, but his physical strength was not strong enough to tear out the roots of the trees that bound him.

“Rurrr’s att…! Where are you…! I can’t feel you on my back! Where have you gone!”

And although Agravain, who was captured afterwards, was able to pull out enough tree roots, he was unable to do anything without Galahad’s instructions. To make matters worse, Peresa, who discovered their relationship, blocked Galahad’s mouth with a tree root, and they were quickly subdued. Of course, the roots that bound Agravain had rotted away, but keeping a few strands of roots regenerated was simpler for Peresa than rolling the dice.

“First of all, I took care of the children spraying miasma, so I guess you’re next. Well, you’re also my acquaintances’ acquaintances, so you won’t get sick like this.”

Then, the roots of the tree that grew up again attacked Werner and the others. Each of them was a strong root with the power to lightly pierce a castle wall. Not getting sick means that there will be no problems with life, but it does not mean that there will be no fractures.

First of all, it was Airi who was caught first. Still unable to overcome the shock of Feresa’s denial, he was caught in vain while others, including Werner, evaded the attack.

And the second one caught was Glaceon, who was aiming at the tree spirit king from behind. When the tree spirit king threatened Werner, Glaceon tried to cut her without hesitation. However, since there was no fool enough to not know the sign approaching from behind, he was caught in vain.

“No, because this bitch wants to see you…!”

Werner let out the anger he had been holding back for so long. Doesn’t it keep changing the topography of the forest and making people suffer while wandering on the same road, firing dangerous weapons and causing them to tear their palms?

“Hey goblin, do you know a man named Garithos?”

“Hmm… I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of that name before.”

“Today you die by His will.”

“Heung, I thought I was here to protect you, so you suddenly change after playing a little prank. Isn’t it true that you are a copy of my mother?

“I am not your son.”

Werner attached a huge blade to his right arm and charged at it. However, his body, already poisoned by the poison, could not avoid the tree roots rushing toward him.

“Heung, the steel guy farts a lot and even makes a contract… The spirit kings have fallen to the ground. Doesn’t the light guy die while trying to stop the war, while the dark guy gives up his power and position on his own? Doesn’t he lose, won’t the wind guy die to the guy who doesn’t love him, won’t the earth guy die because it’s his fault, and the water and steel guys have contracts with mere humans… All of them are really pathetic. Aren’t they idiots without teeth?”

As she disparaged the other spirit kings, the voice of Ballena, the spirit king of water, came into Lorsha’s head.

[Hey, take care of that arrogant thing quickly. I will lend you more of my strength.]

“Foots of the dragon, chop it up and get rid of the prey.”

Dozens of huge shark teeth emerged from the air and penetrated Feresa’s body. If it was a human, death at that point would have been certain. However, the roots and leaves of the tree filled the holes in her body, and soon the wounds healed as if nothing had happened.

“Ballena. You’ve signed a contract with a pretty interesting kid. But that’s it, don’t you have any pride? Kneel to mere humans.”

Valerina quietly asked Lorsha’s consent, then asked the question through Lorsha’s mouth.

“My friend Feresa, are you still not healed of that wound? I thought that 500 years had passed and it would be time to recover slowly. You are still as young as your appearance.”

Peresa, enraged by those words, began threatening the surroundings with even more ferocious energy than before. Of course, after seeing the scene, Armadura, the spirit of steel, also asked for consent from Werner and opened his mouth through him.

“You’re still strong, but your personality is like that of a child. You still can’t forget the old days, so you confine yourself, and run away for childish excuses like gardening and all. You’re still acting like a child, so we treat you like a fool. I’m going to do it. Grow up a little and become an adult, tree girl.”

Hearing all this, Peresenan was furious. The scars humans left on her were as bitter as the day they were engraved, even after 500 years. She thought that the wound would not heal even after a lifetime, so she had no heart to forgive those who touched it.

“Okay, let’s stop now.”

All the magical energy of the forest gathered in her.

“Now I’ll stop warning you. Wouldn’t it be better for me to just annihilate all of you right here? Both for me and for you… That would be the quickest way out of suffering.”

At that time, a black blade flew from somewhere and cut off the roots that bound Werner, Airi, and Glaceon. Their bodies were penetrated without cutting, only the root.

“What is that…”

Werner and Lorsha bit their lips when they noticed the existence of that familiar magical power.

“First of all, we have to stop that runaway kid over there…”

In any case, it did not change that the annoying bondage was gone. Although it was a new problem that even the four of them, Werner, Airi, Glaceon, and Lorsha, were quite formidable opponents against the Spirit King of Trees.

Damian coughed up blood.

Lancelot, who was watching the scene, expressed his doubts.

“Why did you suddenly throw down your weapon in the middle of a fight?”

But Mediah, who knew the answer, smiled viciously.

“This is such a tearful unrequited love. Even if you get hurt, you throw down your weapon for defense and take care of your parents first.”

Squaa didn’t say anything with a stiff expression on his face.

Deep cuts in the abdomen, cards all over the body, and holy flames burning the back. Among them, the holy flame was as deadly as the salt sprinkled on snails to the black magicians who contracted with the devil. Those wounds were the traces of the attacks that flooded the gap that Damian had seen just a moment ago when he suddenly threw down his weapon.

“No one will understand even if you do this, but you are really eager?”

“… I have never acted for the approval of anyone. I have never acted for the love of anyone. I just practice the teachings I have been given.”

Father had told him

[Damian, if your father dies, you will be the head of this family. you have to protect your siblings Understand?]

mother had told him

[My son, a man doesn’t cry over trivial things like that. No matter how hard it is, can you stand strong without crying? I’m sorry that my mom always left me alone. Please be patient with me, though.]

A person who was no different than an older brother who taught me a lot said.

[A man’s life is about setting priorities. And to protect the most precious things first. Even if you have to boldly throw away something else to keep it.]

“Life is about setting priorities… if it’s for the sake of first and second place… I’ll have to boldly throw away last place.”
