Chapter 30

- Core Perspective of Being Mistaken for a Wolf -

Looking at the master who gazes at the trees.

Freed from the unpleasant magic eye, I received a name.

Core

As the king of Fenrir, I have my first master.

I have no regrets.

Being by the master’s side is filled with magic, and it feels good.

……

About 200 years ago, an unpleasant magic eye spell covered the entire forest.

It was not a spell that humans could cast.

However, it attacked the forest in some way.

Even thinking about it brings a sense of loathing.

The purification spell only had a temporary effect, and the barrier consumed magic constantly, leading to its rapid depletion.

Although my magic was strong and I wasn’t quickly consumed, I was invaded over a long period.

Weaker companions had their wills consumed and attacked each other, dying in the process.

Stronger companions, unwilling to be consumed, ended their own lives.

For 200 years, I witnessed the end of many companions.

I was often consumed by the spell, but then I sensed a human presence in the forest.

Anger.

Disgust and anger swirled at the human presence.

Even as my consciousness was consumed, I rushed to where the human was.

My only thought was to kill.

I saw the human’s back.

They were there without any caution.

I tried to attack all at once, but my body wavered for a moment.

Our eyes met.

I tried to put strength into my body to kill at all costs, but it wouldn’t come.

I was frustrated, having become so weak.

With an enemy right in front of me, I couldn’t even defeat them.

Despair overwhelmed me, but I tried to glare and threaten until the end.

In the next moment, all the strength left my body.

I resented falling.

I refused to let my consciousness fade.

Just as I thought that being consumed by the spell would be better.

My body suddenly felt lighter, and the unpleasant sensation that had long clung to me disappeared.

The purification spell usually only had a brief effect.

I braced for the shock of the purification wearing off…?

I was surprised that no shock came and checked my entire body.

What did you do?

Looking at the human… an unfathomable amount of magic.

It was not a quantity of magic that a human could possess.

Even I, standing at the top of Fenrir, couldn’t measure the amount.

When our eyes met, magic flowed from the human.

It seeped into my injured body and healed me from within.

I approached gently and submitted.

It is the first time for the king of Fenrir to have a human master.

But this human is worthy of being a master.

I realized that my entire body had been cleansed and was now pristine.

The master’s magic is more precise and unfathomable than anything I have ever seen.

The one who stands above the king who appeared in the forest.

……

By the way, master, something strange is happening to the trees.
