1715 Is that the only Thing?

"Boom!"

In the depths of the forest, under a heavy cracking sound, a huge tree shook violently, and scattered countless leaves, scaring away the birds that perched on the tree.

And in front of the huge tree trunk that was so thick that several adults could hug it, the boy with demihuman blood was swinging his fist.

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-!"

Every time the demi-human youth punched, before the air exploded, the tree trunk made a loud noise like being struck by lightning, causing sawdust to fly, and the fist marks were left deep on it.

Regardless of the large amount of leaves sprinkled from above and the large amount of sawdust splashed from the tree trunk, Garfiel kept punching the tree trunk like catharsis.

"Boom!"

With the fall of the last punch, the trunk was blasted out of a hole, and the strong wind blew away the surrounding bark.

"Hahaha…"

Garfiel's breathing was a little short, but his eyes looked extremely fierce, with a faint feeling of desperateness.

But Garfiel still growled.

"not enough!"

As if intending to squeeze out all the potential in his body, Garfiel started punching again.

Among the flying sawdust and the leaves all over the sky, two scenes flashed in Garfiel's mind.

One is the scene when Fang Li entered the "Sanctuary" for the first time.

One is the scene before Fang Li enters the cemetery to accept the trial.

These two times, Garfiel had fought against Fang Li, but in the end it was a disastrous defeat.

For Garfiel, this is definitely not a small stimulus.

Of course, in the eyes of others, maybe Garfiel couldn't accept the fact that he lost to others because of his strong competitive spirit and self-esteem.

However, in fact, the reason why Garfiel felt so regretful was elsewhere.

People who knew Garfiel might think that he was a shallow and rough person, like a punk, with a simple mind, only his limbs were more developed.

And this impression is correct.

Garfiel was indeed not good at thinking.

However, Garfiel often reminded himself to use his brain more.

Because, in order to achieve Garfiel's beliefs and the future he expected, no matter whether it is strength or spirit, it is not enough.

In order to realize his wish, Garfiel needs an invincible strength.

"My uncle is the strongest man in the world!"

This sentence was not said because Garfiel was extremely arrogant and arrogant, but more because Garfiel held himself to such a standard.

After all, although Garfiel has a simple mind, he is not short-sighted.

Even though he has been living in the "Sanctuary" and has never been in contact with the outside world, and there are only a few residents in the "Sanctuary" that are less than a few hundred people, Garfiel's strength is at the top , but Garfiel will not become a frog at the bottom of a well, he really thinks that he is invincible.

At least, Garfiel knew that there were two people who were definitely stronger than him.

One is Roswaal.

With the strength of the strongest magician in the Kingdom of Roswaal, if Garfiel faced off, although it would not be said that he was powerless to fight back, he would definitely lose more and win less. In ten victories, Garfiel Being able to win three times can be regarded as an extraordinary performance.

Another one is Ram.

You know, in the past, Ram was a child prodigy of the ghost tribe known for its powerful strength, and was regarded as a ghost-like existence.

If it was in its heyday, Ram's strength would even surpass Roswaal's. Except for the existence of Juggernaut and Witch, it is basically difficult to find her opponent in this world.

Although the current Ram has lost his horn, resulting in a significant decline in strength, that strength has long been engraved into Ram's body. Even if Garfiel will not lose to Ram now, Garfiel still does not think that I was able to win her in her heyday.

With such two beings pressing on it, Garfiel naturally couldn't lose sight of reality.

Therefore, Garfiel has been tempering himself like this since he was a child, and only now has he become as strong as he is now.

Both Roswaal and Ram once marveled that in this small "sanctuary", there would be someone as powerful as Garfiel.

Once turned into a beast, in terms of strength, Garfiel was able to even beat Wilhelm who had defeated the previous sword master and Julius who was called the best knight, it was amazing.

But Garfiel was still not satisfied.

"That's not enough...!"

Regarding the liberation of the "Sanctuary", Garfiel always had only one answer.

That is opposition.

Once the enchantment disappears, the residents of the village will be exposed to the malice of people from the outside world again.

That was absolutely not allowed by Garfiel.

Even if it is not as good as the era when the Envious Witch raged four hundred years ago and the Asian Human War decades ago, the world still regards mixed race as a taboo, and very few people can accept it.

What will happen to the people in the village if the enchantment disappears? What will happen to me? What will happen to Granny Ryuzu who was born as a witch's experiment?

These, Garfiel did not dare to imagine.

What is certain is that once the enchantment is released, the lives of everyone will definitely undergo unprecedented changes.

Among other things, if the group of fanatics of the Witch Cult who regard other witches' things as absolute taboos know that the people here are all experimental animals of the Witch of Lust, then for this alone, the people here will suffer. Devastating blow.

Not to mention Ryuzu, who was born as a witch's experiment.

Plus, there's another reason...

"——"

Recalling what he saw when he entered the cemetery to participate in the trials when he was a child, Garfiel felt a tingling sensation on his forehead.

Upon closer inspection, there was a white scar there.

That scar was not caused by others, it was Garfiel himself.

At that time, Garfiel, who had gone through trials but saw what could be called a hellish scene, crazily hit his head against the wall, resulting in this scar.

Now, this scar has become Garfiel's mark, and Garfiel will use it to remind himself all the time.

"The "Sanctuary" must not be liberated...! "

The Shield of the Sanctuary exists for this purpose.

After coming out of the cemetery, Garfiel swore like this.

"If the enchantment of "Sanctuary" is not enough, let me make another enchantment! "

Under such circumstances, Garfiel still needs to become stronger.

so that...

"Defeat that guy! Stop him from completing the trial!"

Garfiel growled lowly while raising his fists high.

Until that voice sounded.

"Can you do it?"

Shi Shiran's tone made such a sentence reach Garfiel's ears.

"———!"

Garfiel turned around almost reflexively, and punched his raised fist behind him.

"Boom!"

Amidst the muffled sound, strong winds blew.

A figure who did not know when appeared behind Garfiel just stretched out a hand, received Garfiel's heavy blow, and took it into the palm of his hand.

"Too light."

The other party gave such an evaluation.

"Is that all?"

After saying those words, the hand holding Garfiel's fist suddenly swung, and Garfiel was thrown out.
