Chapter 121 Forest

As Lucifer and his companions continued their journey, the vast expanse of green land gradually gave way to a dense forest. The transition from open plains to the shaded undergrowth of the forest was stark, the air growing cooler and filled with the sounds of rustling leaves and distant animal calls. The trees towered above them, their branches intertwined to form a thick canopy that allowed only slivers of sunlight to penetrate through.

This forest was unlike any other. It was the domain of magical beasts, creatures blessed with mana and capable of extraordinary magical attacks. These beasts, powerful and intelligent, lived under an ancient pact with the humans. As long as travelers remained on the designated path, they were safe. But should they stray, the beasts would hunt them relentlessly until they either escaped or were killed.
