After the poisonous smoke cleared, Azazel drew closer to the coachman.
He didn't look afraid to breathe air polluted with poison.
"S-Sir, what must be do now?" asked the coachman.
"We will continue this journey. We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
He agrees with those words.
Then they resumed their journey.
"No one will be able to survive through this area, only those with high abilities will definitely be able to avoid death in this location! I'm impressed that this old man is able to take the risk of going this route!"
Once again the night came to stop their footsteps, and in this silent night the air was still cold.
"I've met monsters several times, and they have different forms! How many monsters actually live in this area?" Azazel didn't use his senses. However, the killing air still roams in that area.
Koiga never wanted to look at Azazel's face, when Azazel gave him a death glare, he always turned his head away.
After he finished eating, he then slept in the cart.
"Huh… why are beings with low ethics like this able to live with such a high amount of wealth? Humans and other living beings will always feel arrogant, I have no right to say this!"
"S-Sir...." The coachman was really nervous just to ask like this.
Azazel raised his eyes. "What?"
"I wonder, how to become great at fighting like you? I see that you are not too burdened in every fight!"
"Huh… that's not something everyone can do! You must already know that to become a fighter you must first become a fighter, there is no instant way to become strong! Do the exercises every day even if your body aches, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to become what you want to be! Ask yourself if you are able to make a change, remember that every event will not be easy to go through! There must be a lot of struggle going on!"
Imagining what Azazel said was a very difficult thing for him, he even had to swallow his saliva.
"I've always tried really hard, I don't care what other people say! I only want to be the best, and won't want to be weak just because of being insulted by others! But, sometimes I feel like a meaningless person! I always thought that my life wasn't as meaningful as other people expected it to be!"
"What are you saying, it's not appropriate for you to consider the value of your life based on the wishes of others, you should understand that this life is your own, and no one can determine its quality! You're too focused on being what other people want you to be, but you're not focused on improving yourself! Remember that you will be able to become greater without being what they want you to be! Don't reduce the quality of your life just because they don't like you! I was also a person who didn't have a beautiful life in other people's eyes! I was just a fool and weak, yet I never had any intention of giving up! I still have a strong will that won't be defeated by others, I can fight until now has become the deepest desire of this body! It's hard to do it, but you have to understand that this life is not an easy thing!"
That night became a meaningful thing for the coachman, he thought that Azazel's words were an enlightenment for people like himself who were often considered stupid and useless.
"Thank you very much, I probably wouldn't have found a passion in this life if I didn't meet you!"
"No, you decide for yourself, I'm just saying, and you run! Don't stick to what I say, but you have to ask yourself if you want to be better, remember that what you are going to do is not easy, you will definitely find it difficult! Don't ever expect that the path of life will contain only beautiful things, in this life there will be a lot of suffering to come, but this is proof that you will become stronger to be able to see the future! There's no guarantee that you can do it or not!"
After hearing this, the coachman got much better.
In the morning, everything looks so beautiful inside his eyes.
To Azazel what he said earlier was of little value. "Who will be able to guess the path of this life full of suffering!" He tries hard to erase memories from his past, but this is not easy, he is often haunted by these memories. Those who always give bitter experiences will just appear as if they have been attached to the body. "Looks like I really won't be able to get rid of these people who used to always do bad things to me! Why does everything feel so cruel? Or am I overthinking that life is cruel?
The trip this time did not find many problems, they only met with small monsters.
Not too dangerous, but still capable of killing someone. Not a problem for Azazel, he was able to finish off any monsters that tried to attack.
And, now that it looked a different path than before, the mist that covered the surrounding area had disappeared.
"Huh… what happened? Why is it so much warmer?"
"Looks like we're out of the forest of death territory!" replied the coachman in a friendly manner.
"I see...." Azazel looked back, and it can be proven that that man's words were true. "Now we just need to step into the designated location, but will things go well?"
After walking all day, they then stopped to prepare for the night.
Koiga as usual will quickly return to the cart and sleep.
"I didn't think that we could get out of the famous forest of death that it would be able to kill so many people there!" He tries to familiarize himself with Azazel.
"Yeah, but I had a feeling that something like that would happen, I had a guess that the location would hold such a terrible thing, and there wouldn't be any reason for us to let our guard down!"
"O-Okay...." She got goosebumps at Azazel's words.
