“Kkeuaaaaaaaat!!!”

Someone’s scream is heard.

The scream was so sharp and piercing that it barely managed to bring Teiris back to her senses.

‘Wh-where is this…’

What remained in Teiris’ memory was that she had crossed the barrier to go to the World Tree’s basement to kill the .

She had finally found the there and stabbed her heart with a knife.

But she doesn’t remember what happened after that.

Just something….

She only remembers something very heavy hitting her.

‘I don’t have any strength in my body….’

She tried to open her eyes and look around, but her eyelids were heavy.

At the same time, whether it was because she had overexerted herself to get here, or because she had collided with the unidentified object in her memory, her whole body ached and she couldn’t muster any strength.

Frankly speaking, it is difficult to even maintain her sanity right now.

She felt like her mind would be sucked into the deep abyss if she made a mistake.

Even in this situation, Teiris somehow moved her body, opened her eyes, and looked ahead.

“Kkeuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!”

There, she saw the naked from her memory twisting in pain.

Her sword was embedded in the ‘s chest, and murky energy was flowing out from there, rippling.

“The strength!! The strength is draining away!!! From the wound!! Kkeuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!”

Black lines were swirling around the , destroying everything around her.

‘I have to… get up….’

She failed to kill the .

But it seemed certain that she had inflicted a fatal wound on the . But that didn’t mean she could just lie here.

She had to either add another hit to the , or retreat. She had to do one of the two.

So, she tried to put strength into her broken body to get up, but at the same time, the ‘s gaze turned to Teiris.

“You… human!!…. Why is a human here?!…. I have identified all the strong humans in the Western Continent!!…. Where the hell did you come from, you!!!”

The ‘s voice was full of anger.

Teiris made a bitter expression at the ‘s words.

The ‘strong humans’ in the Western Continent….

She must be talking about the heroes or those stronger than herself.

In other words, she is an existence that doesn’t matter to the fragments of the Demon King.

“Haha….”

Teiris let out a futile laugh and barely stood up with her trembling body.

She was in a precarious state, as if she would fall over if someone just touched her, but Teiris stood up with persistence and looked at the .

A faint, white divine power lingered around her body.

The blessing that Saintess Rebiya had given her remained very faintly and supported her body.

The noticed the lingering trace of divine power from Teiris and roughly pulled out the sword stuck in her chest.

“Divine power…, is that the power of the Saintess who erased my baptism?!…. A dust-like thing dares to!! Wound my body?!”

“!”

Swaeak!! Kwahang!!!

The roughly threw the blood-soaked sword in her hand.

The ‘s old sword, which left her hand, received tremendous acceleration and fell straight down on Teiris.

There is no way for Teiris, who can barely stand, to avoid this.

So, it was really by chance that Teiris avoided the attack.

Eventually, Teiris, who had run out of strength, fell to her knees, and the sword narrowly passed by Teiris’ body.

However, the flying sword crashed into the wall as if a bomb had exploded, causing a huge explosion and shockwave.

“Keuheok!….”

Teiris spewed out red blood.

Her body was already a mess, both inside and out, so the aftermath of the attack alone was sounding the alarm of her life.

Kwajik!

“Kkeueueueueueueut!!….”

But, in that situation, there was no way for Teiris to escape.

The had no intention of letting her, who had disturbed her, live.

She trampled on Teiris’ shoulder blades as if crushing a bug crawling on the floor.

“How dare a mere human interfere with my plan?! How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!!”

Peok! Peok!! Peok!!!

“!!”

Teiris couldn’t even speak properly due to the enormous pain, and her eyes widened.

But regardless, the stomped on Teiris’ body several times as if she were crushing it, pouring out her anger.

“This place is!! My prison and at the same time!! The center of this World Tree!!! It was an area to absorb the power of the World Tree!!! That’s why I left my body here even though I could escape this place!!!”

Peoeok!! Peoeok!! Peoeok!!! Peoeok!!!!

The , who had been stomping around indiscriminately, kicked Teiris as she was.

Teiris flew helplessly and crashed into the wall.

“To wound my body that was absorbing the power of the World Tree!!! Because of you, the power of the World Tree is flowing out through the wound!!”

“….”

The black energy that had been flowing out had now completely stopped.

Rather, the who was recovering the energy that had been scattered around, glared at Teiris, who was wriggling on the floor.

“So, you have to die.”

Black lines spread in all directions.

And the black lines left countless traces in the air like snakes, and then pierced Teiris’ entire body as it was.

“!!!”

“But don’t worry. I won’t kill you easily. Until that guy comes…, slowly. I will kill you very slowly.”

* * *

Following the traces left by the , I hurried to move.

It wasn’t difficult to find the traces, so I was able to find Baekryeon and his party, who were anxiously standing in front of the barrier.

“Young Master!”

“Baekryeon! Seollin! What are you doing here?!”

“I heard that the ‘s main body is inside the barrier ahead, so I came here, but….”

“You’re blocked by the barrier?”

Baekryeon nodded at my words.

I heard that this barrier was a goddess’ barrier, so beings other than ‘humans’ cannot pass through it.

“Then, didn’t you guys do it?….”

“What do you mean?”

“No, the I was fighting suddenly disappeared. I thought you guys had done something…. But that’s not it.”

Baekryeon’s eyes widened at my words.

“Then, maybe Lady Teiris did it.”

“…Huh?”

And the name that came out of Baekryeon’s mouth was a rather unexpected person.

Teiris, then….

Leon’s first party member?….

If it was her, I would have parked her appropriately in the Prune Kingdom, but why is she here?….

No, the situation is too busy to talk about trivial matters.

“Teiris went inside this barrier?”

“Ye, yes.”

“Okay. I’ll go and see, so you guys go up now. I’ve finished cleaning up the area, so go up with confidence. First, get out of this area.”

“W-what about the Hero?”

Rebiya, who had been silently watching me, looked at me with a worried expression.

I carefully stroked Rebiya’s hair and said.

“It’s okay. It’ll be over soon. I’ll finish it up and go soon.”

Then I turned my gaze.

The elf with blue hair who is here. Certainly, I didn’t know when I only saw her from the back, but when I looked at her face, she looked different.

I should say that she feels a little younger.

Maybe this child is….

“I met your sister. She’s still alive, but she’s in a bit of a dangerous situation.”

“!!”

“If you get out, go as I tell you. I did some first aid, but it was just applying some medicine appropriately. For details…, Rebiya. Please.”

“Ye, yes! Leave it to me!”

Rebiya nodded at my words.

And the elf, who heard that her sister was alive, trembled and said to me with tears in her eyes.

“Tha-thank you.”

“…What are you thanking me for.”

I didn’t intend to do that, but I half-destroyed your sister….

If that girl dies, I’ll feel too uncomfortable, so go and save her quickly.

I swallowed those thoughts and told them the place where I fought with the and entered the barrier.

[Master.]

“What is it?”

[Just in case, let’s strengthen my power.]

“Strengthen your power?”

While heading deep underground in the World Tree, the Holy Sword Makina spoke to me.

Suddenly strengthening, what does that mean, but Makina calmly explained.

[I don’t know if I told you, but originally, there was ‘one’ Holy Sword.]

“…One?”

[Yes. It was divided into 3, and scattered to 3 heroes. But we were originally one, so we can be combined. Of course, if that happens, the power will become even stronger.]

“…Hmm. Ah.”

“Holy Sword synthesis….”

After having a physical conversation with Makina in the Imaginary World with Lucy’s help, the abilities that awakened by being accepted as the owner of the Holy Sword.

At the time, I only focused on ‘Sungganggi manifestation’ and didn’t pay attention to the rest, but it was clearly stated about the special effect of combining the Holy Swords.

Of course, even if I paid attention, I couldn’t break the major premise of 3 Holy Swords and 3 heroes, so it was a function that I couldn’t use….

“….”

Currently, one of the heroes is brainwashed by one of the Demon King’s fragments, the , and has given up on being human.

I took the Holy Sword that the guy dropped and put it in my inventory, so….

“By the way, what happens to you if we synthesize?”

[Hmm…, maybe I’ll be born as a new being. All the memories are inherited, but maybe…, should I say the same but different? But liking Master’s penis is the same]

“….”

…I heard something strange, but I should just move on.

“Okay, let’s do it. Holy Sword synthesis.”

I took out another Holy Sword from my inventory. ‘Ex’.
