The Grand Forest of Monsters was not an ordinary forest. For centuries it had remained isolated and uninhabited, a terrifying domain ruled by unimaginably powerful beasts.

Its towering trees were so dense that sunlight could barely penetrate through them. The thick canopy swallowed the light of the sky completely, leaving the forest in a permanent state of dim twilight. An eerie silence hung in the air, heavy and unsettling, as if the forest itself was watching every movement within it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2pmhHkN8
In the depths of this darkness, three shadows slowly moved forward.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmejg6r3Tji
The Supreme Leader of the Westland, Hayato Shizukami.
His most trusted companion and Grand General, Kazuki.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8KvBdJXp
And quietly walking between them… the five-year-old prince, Takashi.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWzHZu6AB
This was no ordinary journey.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmgUrwA600
A strange conflict was visible on Kazuki’s face. His expression carried unease, as if a heavy burden was pressing against his heart.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWqBWWO4s
Takashi, on the other hand, walked silently as usual. He looked distant and quiet, carrying a sadness far beyond his age. Yet somewhere inside his heart, there was a small sense of comfort.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBVFfhg8CS
His father was with him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYzeFnwVpx
Hayato walked ahead of them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwMVFEjwyv
Today he was not simply walking as a father.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwOtQOOwxK
He was closer to the form the world once feared and whispered about…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIXntvGzBO
The War Demon.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwFyq7w6x2
A man whose mere presence on the battlefield could change the outcome of entire wars.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsEn0Fetw8
Hayato remembered well what happened when the darkness of power swallowed a human soul. When that darkness took over, peace disappeared from both day and night. Life became unbearable. A person slowly walked toward destruction without even realizing it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lN2QfBgP6
Hayato had once fought that darkness and escaped it.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGDqmqs77B
And now, no matter what it cost him, he would never allow that darkness to consume his son.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqnGfR54gY
He was confident that he had trained Takashi well.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhap0TzBpo
The hypocritical life of royal palaces where power meant everything and every person wore a polite mask on their face was something Takashi had already begun to understand.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJmsHOO2EZ
Despite being only five years old, his way of thinking had already matured to the level of a fifty-year-old man.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUej6UqUp4d
Far behind them, inside their palaces, three new lives were about to enter the world.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDpR9OqoAu
But Hayato was unaware of this.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMD7kugCrZ
Instead, he had begun a journey from which there was no guarantee of return.
As they moved deeper into the forest, the surroundings grew darker and thicker.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxjyjVJ0Ni
The monsters of the forest could sense the overwhelming energy radiating from Hayato’s body. Because of that terrifying aura, most beasts stayed far away from him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtfn3IXSVS
Hayato also had no intention of wasting time or energy fighting them unnecessarily.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmTtltqTxy
“My Lord…” Kazuki finally spoke, his voice filled with concern.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzMuHizBda
“We have already confirmed its existence, but we still don’t know its exact location. It’s possible that it may have moved from its previous position.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGdgkTSwOO
Hayato stopped.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMybcDLhpA
He turned toward Kazuki and gave him a calm, gentle smile.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjzXIcwLQx
Then he activated his Tracker Eyes.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvrjapqyaJ
A mysterious ancient pattern appeared within the green pupils of his eyes.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgXPc263fq
Within moments, his vision extended far beyond the forest.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWip7j6Esf
Several kilometers away…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT92InusE6
At the peak of an extremely tall mountain…
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q7e1n89TT
Hayato located an enormous concentration of energy like a mountain of pure power resting at the summit.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqk3cuToW5
“That way.”
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IEsL0Y8oe
Hayato quietly pointed forward and continued walking.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADTMrq2CFv
The journey was far from easy.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQdjeZ9Ttr
As they approached the mountain, Upper Rank monsters began appearing. These creatures were strong enough that Hayato’s aura alone could not intimidate them.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5fzQX0GhR
But today, the War Demon had already made his decision.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNRPZxJsqk
Whenever a monster attacked.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ958GNSgVMF
FLASH!
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90J9554Zgv
Hayato’s sword moved with lightning.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCeuZqrAim
A single strike.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeVVdyceP5
One slash.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW5C3lh6NW
And even the most powerful beasts collapsed instantly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvILE9pvpz
Kazuki and Takashi watched from behind like silent spectators, witnessing Hayato’s unbelievable speed and destructive impact.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadisRzEeOw
Takashi’s five-year limit was approached.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj3ZXKvsOa
The seal inside him could break at any moment.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BGDKpNtfx
Hayato had no time to waste.
