Great Demon King [45-???]

Chapter 45 - 55

 Making a move when he should make one

After emerging from the cemetery of death, Han Shuo returned along his original path, but the sky had completely brightened halfway on his journey back. When he returned back to the original camping grounds, according to the way in his memory, he found that the necromancy students had long since moved on.

Just as Han Shuo was about to curse loudly, he suddenly took in the appearance of his surroundings. He discovered that the ashes in the area with the bonfire didn't look like they were from last night, but much more like they had been there for a few days.

Han Shuo's tent area had been filled with many resources, but now nothing remained. Only a few rocks were piled up in a triangular formation.

His interest piqued, Han Shuo quickly walked to the tent area. He took out his dagger and carefully flipped through the center of the stones, retrieving a piece of yellow paper after a while.

"Bryan, on the second day of your departure, we found traces of the two man-eating monsters nearby. We were worried that the man-eating monsters would seek revenge and decided not to wait for you. When you see this note, return to the academy along the original way. Perhaps we will meet halfway. Hope you are safe and sound, Fanny."

Fanny had left the note. Han Shuo whapped his head after reading it and silently said, "Oh no!". After reading the note, Han Shuo understood that much time must have unknowingly passed by while he was practicing magic, and not merely just a day.

It looks like the two man-eating monsters had appeared and caused Fanny and the others to panic. Add to that she was already deep in the southern territory of the Dark Forest and without Clark's protection, they had no choice but to resign themselves to return along their original path.

Currently, Han Shuo's slave status still had not been resolved, and the woman he wanted was still within the Babylon Academy of School and Magic, along with some tomes of necromancy magic that he wanted still wanted to learn. He would be unable to leave the Academy in the near future.

With the six magical sticks, Han Shuo could come and go from the cemetery of death at his leisure. He could absolutely use the transportation matrix to make the cemetery his personal territory after he returned to the Academy. The entire southern portion of the Dark Forest would be his training fields in the future. Whether it was magical yuan or magic spell training, half the amount would lead to double the effectiveness in a place like this.

Musing for a while, Han Shuo followed the instructions left on Fanny's note and followed the original road, swiftly moving towards the outskirts of the Dark Forest.

Although he traveled without rest for a day, Han Shuo actually didn't feel tired at all. Moving through the winding and bumpy paths of the Dark Forest, Han Shuo's speed was as fast as lightning, like a magical creature hunting down its prey.

He neared an area of randomly scattered rocks and shrubs around dusk. This was an area where they had camped before. The sounds of metallic clashes traveled to him from afar.

Han Shuo was startled, thinking 'Could it be that Fanny and everyone else are under attack by the man-eating monsters?' When he thought of this, his speed picked up and he abruptly flew towards the area of rocks and shrubs.

Along the way, many forest trolls with glistening green skin, towering bodies, grimacing faces, and wielded knives or studded clubs repeatedly attacked Han Shuo. He easily evaded all of them.

Forest trolls were a race within the Dark Forest that were mortal enemies with the elves. The elves treated them as marauders of the forest and continuously attacked them.
