As expected, there were more monsters that appeared as we approached the center of the forest.
In fact, the number of monsters that appeared were far more than what had appeared previously.
It was almost as if every single monster that was in this forest was gathering to attack us at this moment.
Or it was better to say that they were gathering to protect the thing that we were trying to reach.
With the way that they threw themselves at us, it really seemed like they didn't want us to take a single step forward.
"They're too desperate…What's going on here?"
I could hear Nerina whispering this with my sharp hearing and I couldn't help wondering the same.
After all, this was something that had never happened in the game before.
With how many monsters there were, it really was hard for me to keep holding back.
Eventually, I had no choice but to call out my fire spirit Pyro to form a ring of fire around us.
