I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 2048: 24.309 Sixth Violet Star - Barrier Destroyed

After the children were sent to the underground path, a hole finally appeared on the barrier around the ancient forest. The humans were so exhilarated that they had broken through the barrier and didn’t notice the changes on the towering wooden walls. The black thorn vines seem to have silently retreated and the height of the walls in their area was intentionally lowered while the other part of the walls had grown twice its original heights. As for the black sword that destroyed the barrier, it had somehow disappeared without anyone from the human side noticing.

They were all busy rejoicing that they didn’t even notice what was happening around them.

”Hahaha~ finally this damn barrier is down!!”

”The flare had been lit. Our reinforcement should be coming soon!”

”The Marshal will be delighted by this mission’s progress.”

”By the way, where is the creepy sword?”

”How can you lose it!? That’s the Marshal’s sword! Go fucking find it or our heads will fly!”

By the time they noticed that the sword was missing, they couldn’t find any trace of it at all. The soldiers scattered around the area and found no sword at all. They’ve been looking for it for hours but nothing was found. They were bewildered about how such a sword could suddenly disappear. It’s not as if the sword can walk.

”G-General, there are no traces of sword... O-Or other people. Is it a g-g-ghost?!” A timid soldier asked.

He got smacked from the back of his head by his friend and said, ”Nonsense! Do you think a ghost can take away a sword that eats anything!? It would have been eaten by that eerie sword even if there was truly a ghost.”

Silence~

Just the fact they had witnessed one of their comrades being eaten by the sword alive and their general telling them that it could eat anything. There is also the fact that it had eaten the barrier to cause it to crack, he started to believe that it was an evil sword capable of eating anything. For it to suddenly disappear like that, means that it either disappeared on its own or it was taken away by something without them noticing anything.

”Lord General, was the sword taken away by something we didn’t even notice?” A soldier asked.

The soldier’s face was painted with terror as he couldn’t find something like that existing by their side. Worse of all, they couldn’t even feel them. The fear of the unknown, this is something all humans are afraid about. Actually, even the general felt something eerie about their current event.

The general said, ”Enough! Forget about the sword for now. We needed to scout the forest before the rest of the soldiers arrived. We will now enter the ancient forest. Split into small groups and find where the residents of this place are all living!”

”Yes, Lord General!”

Under the orders of the general, his current troops had split into small groups. There are now at least six groups of three soldiers each. The troops that come with him for the mission are not his full team. They were just a small team just to try the use of the sword. Who would have expected they would succeed in destroying the barrier this time? With their current team all they can do is scouting the terrain.

This is an unexplored land for the human race. After all, except for a few exceptions no other races were allowed to live in the forest like the former elf king. You will need a great connection or at least a proper relation with one of the authorities within the beastmen to be able to stay at the center of the village. Moreover, the ancient forest had changed a lot. It was no longer the same forest where all other races could freely roam around.

The outer region of the ancient forest no longer had been living in it after both the elf and dwarf races had moved closer to the village. However, there are still some traces left behind. Like the small houses where the dwarf race lives before or the treehouses made by the elven race. Most of these houses are now empty. They weren’t demolished as they were used by the hunting team as temporary places to stay when they head to the outer ring of the forest. It was also used as a resting place for the patrol that roamed near the wooden walls.

But after they had witnessed that the barrier was broken. The first thing these patrol guards had done was to clean up their traces and at the same time leave some gifts for the invaders of their land.
