OVERLORD- CH-50. Changes in the Forest-1

By the time the Moon Shadow team and Aya arrived at their destination, it was already past noon, around two or three in the afternoon.

There was no way. It was someone's fault for insisting on sleeping in, which resulted in them setting out after half of the morning. They also encountered monsters in the forest three times in a row, which wasted a lot of time.

That said, given the situation of encountering monsters three times in a row, a normal team would probably have had to drag the mission out until the evening to complete it. The fact that they were able to arrive so quickly already speaks to the efficiency of this team.

The reason for being so efficient is, without a doubt, the help of the mission's external aid—the young man Levi, who used a unique bow weapon to complete the three tasks of warrior, mage, and ranger alone.

"It looks like this is where they were killed."

"It's a horrific scene, and a little disgusting."

Seeing the open space completely covered in blood, the members of Moon Shadow had roughly the same reaction.

"There's no body. What a strange situation." The fishy smell and stench of rotting blood in the air made Monica cover her nose and frown.

To Camilla, the open space before her contained a wealth of information sufficient to reconstruct the scene—the type and amount of residual magical energy, the depressions and weapon marks on the ground, the type and splatter pattern of blood.

With the help of intelligence magic, she could easily restore the scene.

However, for the members of the Moon Shadow Team, all they saw before them was an empty space soaked in blood, and they were unable to analyze any situation from it.

Of course, some very obvious things could still be seen, such as the pieces of clothing on the open ground, which were obviously left by someone.

"It seems that those people are in great danger." Aya said. In fact, she already knew that those people were already dead and even their bodies had been taken away.

"There's nothing we can do." Darlena scratched her head and said, "I can't see anything. It seems that this is all we can report to the guild."

Monica covered her nose, walked to the center of the open space, picked up the piece of clothing stained with blood, wrapped it with a handkerchief, and put it in her bag.

"Then let's go back." Monica said. "We can also look for some medicinal herbs in the forest along the way. Jasmine, this task is up to you."

"No problem." Jasmine nodded. It seemed that she was quite good at these things.

Aya understood this point. After all, she was an elf. Elves were naturally like fish in water in the forest, and identifying some plants was certainly no problem for them.

"We can walk slower on the way back and get back to the city before dinner," said Monica.

"With Levi here, you've become a little lax, Captain."

Darlena's words made everyone laugh, and even Monica herself had to admit that Levi's extraordinary fighting power made their task, which was not difficult to begin with, as easy as an outing.

"By the way, may I ask, have you made a reservation for dinner tonight?" Aya asked at this time.

"Dinner? Not yet. We usually eat after we get back to the hotel." Monica replied.

"It's like this. A friend of mine knows that we will be on a mission together today. She is also very interested in your Moon Shadow team and hopes to treat you to a meal."

The sudden invitation made everyone a little overwhelmed, but Aya said with a smile, "Why don't you give me the honor of coming over? I'm sure I won't let you down."

Looking at the smile that suddenly bloomed in front of them, like a warm breeze, everyone didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

Meanwhile, in the forest...

"What a joke!" The man shouted while running as fast as he could.

"Isn't this the outskirts? How could there be such a monster in the outskirts?!"

"If you have the energy to shout, you might as well run faster!" Another man next to him said breathlessly.

"Put me down..." A young man made a weak voice on the back of the man who kept shouting.

There was an expression of extreme pain on his face, and his left foot was twisted at an unnatural angle.

"You must be joking. I will never abandon you no matter what I say!"

"That's a steel-level monster that can kill a demon giant in one blow! Leave me behind quickly, or you won't be able to escape!"

"Asshole..." As he said this, the man suddenly stopped and his companion following behind him almost bumped into him.

"What are you doing? Stopping suddenly..." Said the companion, but he couldn't continue speaking halfway through.

In front of them, a sinister and terrifying figure of a strong man slowly walked out of the bushes, staring at them with his terrifying pair of bright yellow eyes.

There seemed to be a smile on the corner of its mouth.

"How is this possible? When did they get to the front?" The man said in a trembling voice, his feet shaking constantly.

"This bastard is playing with us... this demon!"

The literal devil was flexing his muscles in front of the desperate man.

"Take Benny away." Suddenly, a hand was placed on the man's shoulder, and the companion standing behind him drew his iron sword.

"Hey, you!"

"Hurry up and leave! Do you still want to be wiped out here?"

"Damn it!" Roaring angrily, the man carrying the young man turned around and ran away.

They had no choice. This demon killed their two companions instantly the moment they met. The five-man team combined was no match for him. They had no choice but to escape.

"Hahaha!" The devil made a sneering sound and waved his thick arms. In an instant, the man lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The power was gone.

He tried hard to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain. His body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

Weak!

However, such low-level magic was already a fatal move for the man who had been running for a long time with his companion on his back and whose physical strength was almost exhausted.

"It's over." Seeing this, the other man lost the courage to swing his sword. The iron sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the man knelt on the ground in despair.

The demon walked towards them, waving his claws—

With a "whoosh," an arrow decorated with blood-red feathers whizzed past and rushed straight towards the demon's head!

The demon moved its head, and the arrow collided with the horns on its head, making a loud sound of metal collision. The huge impact caused the demon to fall to the ground.
