Just a few minutes' walk from Toka Village was the forest of Lucfana.

　Indeed, as we were told, there is a huge tree in the center of the forest.
　I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are interested in this.

It's a really big tree!
I wonder how long it would have taken for them to get that big. Well, that would make a great landmark.

　If it's that big, we can aim for it without getting lost.

　We walked into the forest and aimed for the tree.


　We walked into the forest, and a few minutes later.

　You come across a demon.

　It's a big lizard that walks on two legs.
　It's a lizardman, but it differs from an ordinary lizardman in a few ways.

　First of all, its body color is yellow. It is usually green.
　It also has horns, which are chattering and electrically charged.
　And it was one size larger than a normal Lizardman.

　I'll use 【Appraisal】 to check it out.

(Thunder Lizardman Lv.33/43)
　A thunder tinged lizardman. He is an extremely powerful electrician.
　If attacked by a weak point, his horns will be disabled for several minutes.
　HP 222/222.
　MP 32/32
　Skill [Thunder Shock, Lv 3]
　Resistance [Electric Resistance Lv. 10]

I've also given [Appraisal] a trip, and now that I'm at level 5, I can even see their weaknesses and skills.

　He's not a weak demon, but........well, he's not my enemy.

''This is where I'm going to go for Atashi!

　and hit the lizardman with the knuckles that Lenya was equipped with.

　Lenya's level has also increased significantly during the fight with the heroes and during the journey, reaching 52.

　Because of the level difference, Lenya overwhelmed the Thunder Lizardman with her performance.
　He won easily.

''I won!''
I remember Thunder Lizardman as a powerful enemy. Rainier has grown up.
Heh.

　Then I absorb the Thunder Lizardman.

　HP up 55, MP up 8, attack power up 13, defense up 11, speed up 10, and gain 3 skill points.

　How many demons at this level are there in this forest?

　I'll be pretty strong here too, if I can get out of here often enough.

　We walked through the forest with the giant tree as our target.

　When the giant tree was out of sight, for example, I jumped to check it out.
　With my current jumping ability, it is possible to fly above the height of a normal tree.

　The Thunder Lizardman didn't appear a second time, but demons that were close to that strong appeared in their own right.

　They didn't struggle at all, and they were killed and absorbed from one side to the other.

　We didn't come across too many strong demons on the journey, so we weren't able to grow that fast, but this time we were growing quite fast.

　From now on, he would be willing to go to places that were said to be dangerous.


　After a few hours of walking, we arrived at the base of the giant tree.

It's even bigger when you see it up close. It's even bigger when you see it up close, and it's so thick.

　The thickness of the tree was remarkable.
　It would take several minutes just to go around it.

We should have gone west from here. Do you have a compass, Tetsuya?
Yeah.

　I had bought a compass to check the direction, I had bought it before and carried it with me at all times, because I wanted to keep it with me for my travels.

　I take the compass out of my pocket and find out which way is west.

'This way. Let's go.

　Once West figured out which way it was, we started walking in that direction.
