by adminEpisode 105 – The Giving Tree 20 –
My body was still caught in the tree roots created by the guardian of the World Tree.
But he couldn’t have come to this land without any preparation.
I immediately took out the substance I had prepared inside my body.
Puuongㅡ
And the guardian is slightly embarrassed when he sees the situation I have created.
“What did you do?”
The tree roots burned in an instant and began to explode.
You might think that because it is wood, it burns easily.
That’s firewood.
Because living trees hold water, they do not catch fire quickly unless there is a large-scale fire.
In the case of large-scale fires, in most cases, the fire does not start from a tree, but from fallen leaves.
“Unique Madness… ?”
When something beyond common sense happens to an external entity, the most certain thing is intrinsic magic.
Auror awakening is the power to distort oneself and exert influence on the outside world.
It’s not that it can’t show this phenomenon, but it’s extremely inefficient.
It is reasonable to think of it as a unique magic spell.
however.
“You… Didn’t you say you were a knight? That rare battle mage… No, it was a magic swordsman? How did aura and magic coexist?”
“Haha. I’m still hoping for common sense. You can’t expect common sense when your technology has been leaked.”
There are few knights in this world who cannot use magic at all.
There are also a small number of wizards who cannot use Auras at all.
However, except for the basics, both professions only use magic and aurors during battle.
Magic and aura have the property of repulsing each other.
This is because there is a high possibility of internal injury if operated at the same time.
Sooo
Plants suddenly start to move out around me.
Unique magic power, Auror awakening. There is no common sense about these two things.
The world of the caster is common sense.
So he chose the rational path of avoidance.
Because challenging a unique magic without knowing any information is a shortcut to defeat.
‘thank god. First of all, I succeeded in making you mistaken.’
It’s as if the academy couldn’t even detect a single evil bishop.
Specialized unique magic makes it possible to compete with a level much higher.
Turns a plant into a bomb.
From the moment it becomes a bomb, it is no longer a plant and cannot be controlled by the Guardian.
And the bomb is bound to explode with even the smallest spark that I can create with my chanting magic.
That’s my original magic…
A stump remover that pretends to be.
It was a kind of super-powerful herbicide made from the saltpeter requested from Luna Kerenil.
‘Originally, you have to leave it to sleep for a long time, but… I made it absorb immediately through alchemy.’
Alchemy is the manipulation of substances.
Plants are located somewhere between life and matter, so alchemy works.
The saltpeter that is absorbed into the plant through this simply becomes gunpowder in the shape of the plant.
This means that lighting it on fire produces the same effect as lighting gunpowder.
“Just because I can’t use plants… Your state doesn’t change… ”
The Guardian no longer continued to attack using plants.
For the guardian of the World Tree, plants are the power that allows him to discuss the strongest in this land.
It was like excluding swordsmanship from a sword saint, and excluding his unique magic from a magician.
He who cannot use plants is no longer the strongest.
However, the guardian is a being who has seen the spirits and other technologies of this land.
The power that comes from tens of thousands of years of experience is still much higher than mine.
But if the plant is sealed.
At least the fight is established.
Even that would be one-sided.
He immediately pulled out a long branch from the ground, grabbed a wooden staff, and released green energy.
Weeeing ㅡ
The green energy that escaped was fired straight away without forming any special magic circle.
The animals were created by gathering that energy.
Not earthly animals like wolves or tigers, but sky predators like hawks and eagles.
Living animals, not plants, immediately appeared on this land and rushed at me.
however.
“Because I’m not that weak.”
The guardian of the World Tree is a being who resides on this land.
We don’t know the details because we don’t have as much information power as the Imperial Intelligence Department or the Holy Emperor’s Office.
In other words, he doesn’t have my skills.
I don’t know how strong this Imperial Academy’s standard is.
By exploiting those loopholes, we simply destroyed their technology.
Paangㅡ
He takes out the Heavenly Sword out of the air and stabs the flying beasts.
Techniques that seem to explain why Ygrasil is called the Sword Demon are reproduced at the tip of my sword.
The tip of the knife touched the flying animals, but instead of tearing the flesh, it exploded.
I don’t know what the principle is, but the sharp sword strike exploded as if it had been hit with a hammer.
I was able to think that I had truly learned an amazing skill.
“… You’re using an unusual technique.”
words coming out of his mouth.
He grinned at those words and just walked forward.
This is because his strength was bearable in a state where plant attacks were impossible.
‘I can survive even if it’s roughly twice as cold as this.’
It’s important to hold on.
In the end, if this fight continues, people around me will officially call me out.
If other beings intervene, it becomes even more advantageous for me.
Because it’s easier to break something than to protect it.
The Guardian will eventually have no choice but to let me go.
“Of course, wouldn’t this be enough to provoke you?”
“You’re confident. Since I don’t use the plants, what can survive… ”
“The result of using it is the same as not using it. Anyway, it’s the same as never having to go through that.”
Guardians are capable of plenty of plant attacks.
King of Yeon-guk. It may be an SSS-level herbicide created by the greatest alchemist, Changje.
If these cheap herbicides are pushed to such an extreme level, I will be the one who ultimately loses.
The only reason the Guardian cannot attack is because the World Tree is right behind this throne room.
Since he doesn’t know how wide the scope of that technology is, he can’t help but worry about World Tree getting hurt if he uses that technology.
Because I don’t know what state the World Tree is in.
You’re probably worried about getting hurt even if you make a mistake.
So you can do something like this.
“No matter how lucky I tried… There is no way you can defeat me.”
“Who is going to take it down? Are all fights just about life and death? There are many ways to win other than physically defeating your opponent.”
“This means that in war, tactical benefits and achieving strategic goals are more important than winning the battle. But this is a battle. It’s not war.”
Not a war, but a battle.
This is a brief summary of this fight.
But that’s not what I mean.
There is no need to fight if you are going to waste time anyway.
All you have to do is just wait a long time.
The guardian is wary of my power.
I have to take my time.
The way to win is not just by defeating your opponent.
So this unique method is also possible.
“You… What are you doing?”
“You won’t know it if you look at it, right? As a knight, you want to make a very strategic choice.”
The guardian of the World Tree is embarrassed when he sees what I did.
The Garden of the World Tree is generally located opposite to where Abenheim is located.
So, the main stem of the World Tree is located on one side.
I simply placed my hand on the main stem of the world tree that was revealed in that way.
Ready to spray the herbicide prepared earlier at any time.
It was a threat to cause great damage to the World Tree.
“Are you kidding me…? I’m sure you said you had to meet and talk to the World Tree… Are you going to kill the world tree?”
He quickly regained his senses and pointed out my contradiction.
But it was ridiculous.
You think I’m a cold-blooded person like you who would abandon tens of thousands of elves for the sake of an ideology.
It may be okay for one or two people, but if it’s tens of thousands, would I seriously sacrifice it? There is a moral level of thinking.
“First of all, I made a mistake with my assumption! Who cares more about knowing the truth than their own life! There may be people like that, but not me!
And I have no intention of writing again! It’s just that if someone tries to kill me, I’m going to give them at least something to kill them before they die. It’s not an honorable threat, it’s an honorable sacrifice!”
In the first place, animals with a certain level of intelligence tend to have different priorities.
Everyone who thinks about their own beliefs is like that.
Even vegetarians can eat meat if the only food available is meat.
Normal people can also dig up corpses and eat them if they have nothing to eat.
That too.
Even now, if he gave up his life right away, the World Tree would be safe, but he is not doing that.
If only I could meet the World Tree, I would return quickly, but I am not doing so.
It’s similar to that.
He slowly surveyed the situation, letting go of his angry attitude from earlier.
The way he went from being angry to being calm made him look like he was manic-depressive.
Perhaps because I lived for tens of thousands of years, I seemed to be quite good at controlling my emotions.
or not… There is something else.
‘also… ‘There’s a problem because I can’t attack.’
My attack is difficult to inflict any significant damage on the World Tree in the first place.
Of course, he’s doing this because he thinks my skills are unique magic.
This illusion tends to feel strange as time passes.
Why does a guy who knows how to use unique magic barely use magic?
Can that guy really be able to use the level of a magic swordsman, which can only be achieved by properly coordinating aura and magical power?
If so, why did they just use auras in the attack?
The more these questions accumulate, the more you will eventually realize it.
In fact, in the end, it seemed like it was trying to use plants to make various attacks.
and… The World Tree also knows this fact.
‘In the first place, if it was about the size of the World Tree, based on the fact that I didn’t use magic power when I corroded the plant… You must have noticed that it is not a unique magic spell.
But the Guardian doesn’t realize it… ‘
I mean something very simple.
There is something wrong between the World Tree and the Guardian.
Even if it isn’t, it doesn’t matter.
That’s because he didn’t use the World Tree at all when he attacked me.
‘Even though I tried to kill him, I didn’t use any technology… I guess it means I can’t use it.’
and. Attacking that is… It will be the key to victory.
“It’s a shame… I know what you were thinking, but… ”
But the ominous words you hear.
The world does not always proceed as one person imagines.
“There is a famous saying. The world is the result. Whatever the reason or process, it is evaluated based on the results.”
This is a famous proverb passed down in this world.
If you cheat and get 100 points, you will be criticized compared to those who honestly got 100 points.
Just because you got 50 points without cheating.
It doesn’t really compare to the guy who cheated and got 100 points.
This is because the difference between the results of 100 points and 50 points is too large.
In WFS, extremely realistic NPCs make sacrifices, which means that no matter what sacrifices are made, the results must be good.
Although it was a device that created a touching scene.
Now that he said that proverb…
“I have to say sorry to the World Tree.”
The idea was to get the best results.
No matter what sacrifices it takes.
A huge power begins to come out of the tree branch in his hand.
I was able to realize it instinctively.
If I get hit by that, I will definitely die.
‘I thought I couldn’t attack because of the World Tree… !’
I made a mistake in judgment.
We forgot that this world is no longer a game but reality.
I also forgot that not everyone, like me, considers ideas to be more important than life.
Unlike NPCs that move according to code, intelligent beings do not always live solely for their beliefs.
Living things are the ones that change their beliefs without notice.
Sometimes I make foolish choices.
Even if I know I will regret it, I sometimes walk down a path I will regret.
That’s the result.
I don’t know what kind of problem arose in the relationship with the World Tree.
In any case, the number was thrown.
I have to be prepared for that.
‘If you do this, it’s a gamble.’
After all, combat is a place where variables abound.
There’s no way it’s going to go the way you want.
I complained about the world, but nothing changed, so I left it alone for a while.
We need to properly understand the situation and then overcome it.
The opponent’s attacks are rushing towards me.
can not avoid.
However, it is not clear that there is a way to overcome the situation.
Anyway, as long as the results are good, it’s a good idea.
So it would be right to take a gamble.
‘What if I die? Alice will take care of the empire and kill him.’
Anyway, I gave up on my life long ago.
I just hope it leaves a mark.
Clear your mind and prepare to release the attack slowly.
I prepare to use one of my final skills, Auror Awakening.
If you defeat it with this one hit, you win.
If you can’t do it, you lose.
Although I think I will lose because of my opponent.
At least let’s write this one last time.
Just as the blow containing my everything was about to be fired towards the guardian.
[Do not touch my son.]
Boom~
A huge voice rang out, and immediately a huge, crushing headache came over me.
The guardian side was no different.
All the plants were busy running away.
Even the birds followed their instincts and ran away, as if they were facing a huge predator.
The magic rebelled as if it had encountered an auror.
Every single element of this earth, every single atom, avoided me as if it didn’t want to cause me any harm.
For a moment, everything in this land was on my side.
And my head wasn’t on my side.
It was because they refused my orders to assess the situation.
‘what… ? Guardians are also your creations. no way… ‘Did you give me special treatment because I was a saint?’
However, there were more than one strange thing about it.
Special treatment for saints?
That being said, there was no trace of any involvement during the fight at WFS.
Why did the evil spirit, who did not intervene when dealing with the adult of evil spirit, intervene now?
no. How could he have broken through the seal and intervened before that?
‘if… Did the Heavenly God give him the impetus to intervene?’
The evil spirit will be able to help me as I have given it strong power.
However, the evil spirit has no power left to achieve this without sacrifice.
however. Just one being.
If the Celestial God, the entity that sealed the evil spirit, temporarily releases its power… Evil spirits can intervene in me.
The Heavenly God also hates the Avatar…
‘Does this mean that if I die here, the damage I suffer as an incarnation will increase?’
I don’t know for sure.
However, if the situation has already occurred, the first step is to utilize it to maximum advantage.
As the Guardian said. Because the world is a result.
The process is full of controversy based on the results.
I thanked the evil spirit and smiled leisurely, as if I had induced this.
“What the hell… !”
The guardian looked embarrassed again.
No matter how great his attack was, his appearance just moments ago was truly that of an almighty god.
In fact, it is true that the god of this land directly intervened, so it is not particularly wrong.
“Just now… ?”
The Guardian clearly increased the threat.
It’s a shame because I also had the same headache earlier.
If I was sane, I could have killed the guardian.
Since I couldn’t do anything for about 30 seconds, I could have killed myself.
And I was finally able to come up with a proper strategy.
A very good strategy to fight the guardian.
“That power is… ”
An unknown power begins to radiate from my body.
Not an Auror.
It’s not even about magical power.
Rather, something closer to divine power.
I am watching the heavenly spirit.
It was a power that I had not been able to use often because I did not know how Seonghwangcheong would react.
The Heavenly God’s permission was actually given.
Since the evil spirit had already used its power, there was no longer any hesitation.
“You… What the heck… ?”
his question.
It was a question that everyone who did not know all the information could sympathize with.
The energy radiating from me. Because it was a power that could never come out of my realm.
It’s not really my strength.
It’s a given power.
A huge power that has never been used before.
A trace given to me by an evil spirit. stigma.
It’s time to use it in earnest.
“Now shall we begin the battle?”
It’s still a long way off.
Because he started using plants in earnest.
I don’t know how to use stigmata, and I’m not good at using divine power.
But that doesn’t matter.
You can fight.
That’s important.
“As a great saint of God… I will punish you.”
Since he said he was a saint, he was treated with respect as if he was some kind of great person.
Now, not as Abraxas of the Empire, but as Abraxas, the saint of evil gods.
The source of everything in Abenheim. It was time to set out to stop the guardian of the World Tree.
