Helmut: The Forsaken Child - H.F.C Chapter 250 (Part 1):

Would it have been easier if he was alone? He could have withdrawn without having to fight.

Even if he defeated the beast, Helmut couldn’t trust even Charlotte.

Was it reasonable to pour everything into such a situation?

He sorely missed Alea’s presence.

But Helmut had to ensure the safety of the Grand Duke and, before that, protect Charlotte.

‘The Black Wing Knights’ Commander would be helpful.’

Eventually, people would come if the fight continued. Alonso, the Black Wing Knights’ Commander, would be the first to rush in.

In this forest, the only enemy was the demonic beast in front of him.

‘I hope the others don’t notice its true identity.’

Various magical beasts live in this world. They mostly dwell in desolate places.

The types of magical beasts differ by region. People generally only knew that magical beasts were ferocious.

Only a few mages have studied magical beasts in detail.

‘So it should be fine even if a demonic beast that can use some swordsmanship appears.’

Just when he met his mother, a beast with the Dark Seed appeared.

A human consumed by the Dark Seed. If his mother learned of its existence, how would she look at Helmut?

Helmut gritted his teeth.

Would it have been better if he hadn’t been in Renosa?

No, without him, there would be no one to deal with the beast, and more people would be in danger.

The flow had already led Helmut here, and he had to do what he could.

The monster had stopped attacking and was staring into the distant forest.

It seemed to have lost interest in Helmut, its attention captured by something else.

The beast’s eyes narrowed.

Helmut soon realized why it reacted that way.

From beyond, he could sense a faint presence running through the forest.

Though not loudly, he could feel someone moving quickly through the forest.

An adult man, probably a knight.

And the monster had keener senses than Helmut.

“Grrrr.”

A low growl escaped its throat. And in the blink of an eye—

Wham! It leapt off the ground. It had changed targets.

‘Oh no.’

It was an unfortunate situation. Helmut had hoped someone would distract the beast, but not to the extent that it would completely change direction.

Helmut could have retreated here and rejoined the main force.

But if he did, that knight would surely die.

Helmut didn’t hesitate. The dead cannot be brought back to life. If that person was someone who must not die…

Helmut immediately leaped.

Tak, tadak, tak! The beast moved through the forest, leaping from tree to tree.

Its speed was unbelievable. Blood rushed hot through its body. Its prey was right there.

The knight it had tasted earlier was quite delicious. Firm, elastic meat brimming with Vis!

It was a shame it couldn’t properly enjoy the meal due to the interruption, but it could catch a new one.

Though an interesting opponent, there was no need to waste time with him. It was enough to find easier prey!

The corners of the demonic beast’s mouth rose vertically in a vicious grin.

The knight also realized the beast’s approach. How could he not? The existence of a demonic beast rushing towards him while exuding magical energy!

It wasn’t hiding its presence at all. Under equal conditions, a human couldn’t outrun a horse.

The knight ran in terror, but not fast enough to outpace the demonic beast.

The beast, flying through the forest, swung down at the knight’s back.

Whoosh! Something flew in and collided with the hand swinging down at incredible speed. Clang!

With that sound, the knight threw himself sideways.

The beast’s hand, momentarily thwarted, struck the empty ground. Crack!

“Grrrr.”

The beast turned its head toward the direction from which the object had flown. Its eyes were filled with rage.

Helmut stood there, holding a bow. Since even Helmut couldn’t outpace the beast, he had restrained it from a distance at the right moment.

Helmut tossed aside the bow without bothering to adjust it and immediately drew his sword.

He ran straight towards the beast. He was trying to close the distance while recapturing its attention.

The beast looked at the approaching Helmut as if he were an annoyance.

Unlike the others, this one wasn’t easy.
