Chapter Index

    Day 201 of the Fog Forest.

    The border point between the forest and the outdoors.

    “Is that a city?”

    Shaella looked ahead with interest.

    I looked at the city’s exterior with as much curiosity as when I first saw it.

    I also explained while looking at the city.

    “The rulers have individual territories in the center of the city. Can you secretly infiltrate there?”

    “Of course! All you have to do is rescue Iyan from there and get out.”

    “That’s right. But take a break. Because I have work to do.”

    “Okay~”

    Shaella sat leisurely against the tree as if she were on a picnic. Even though we got this far, there was no tension.

    Are you really confident? .

    However, it is not good to attack blindly.

    I plan to take out Iyan and return with the least amount of friction possible.

    However, this is based on the premise that Ian is safe.

    I plan to check that from now on.

    After letting the clone sit for a while.

    Sigh-

    I concentrated my mind.

    I felt the sight of plants.

    It’s several kilometers to the center of the city, but maybe it’s reachable.

    Ssaaaa-

    My feeling expanded.

    The vision of all plants becomes assimilated with me.

    View of the foggy forest.

    A view of weeds sparsely blooming all the way to the city.

    And even the trees and garden plants grown in that city.

    ‘Is there still time?’

    Previously, I could only communicate with plants hundreds of meters away based on my alter ego, but this time, as I absorbed the World Tree, my senses became more sophisticated.

    If you just focus.

    Hwaaah-

    Your field of vision increases.

    You can see the inside of the city.

    It had a wide view of the outskirts.

    There were many gardens cultivated by slaves for nobles, so it was not difficult to secure a view.

    But not yet.

    It’s a long way to the central area.

    Phew.

    I focused again.

    My communion area, which had spread out in a circle, was extended to one side. The communion area became longer like a fan and began to be visible deep into the city.

    Let’s focus.

    We need to find Iyan.

    Ian is hiding somewhere in the city.

    Here, if we reduce and increase the area again… .

    ‘… It’s out of reach.’

    Unfortunately, this is already the limit.

    No matter how narrow the range is, it is difficult to communicate with plants beyond 1km. It would have been possible if it had been based on the main body rather than the alter ego… .

    But the directions are sufficient.

    Maybe you can tell Shaella the location of the palace.

    “How about it?”

    At that moment, Shaella asked about the situation.

    I reported it without anything to hide.

    “I can’t see all the way inside, but I think I can show you the way.”

    “Enough. Leave the rest to me.”

    “Okay. But the operation starts a little later. There is one most important thing left.”

    I focused again.

    Communicated with the main body.

    What we will do now is the most important preliminary preparation for this operation.

    Honestly, I don’t know if it’s possible.

    Because this is my first time trying it.

    The only thing I can do is try to hit it first.

    Sreuk.

    Slurp.

    Top of the main body tree.

    The power of the dimensional stem connecting the waste disposal site and the first floor was harvested. It wasn’t that difficult because I figured out how to manipulate the dimensional stem.

    Slur-

    Kuuuu… … .

    The spatial connection was lost.

    The first floor and the disposal site were separated.

    The disconnected dimensional stem was lowered to the ground and then inserted into the floor of the house.

    Sigh-

    Move your mind again.

    This time I focused on the alter ego.

    To be exact, they are two dimensional stems planted inside a human clone on the outskirts of the Fog Forest.

    Ugh~

    The surrounding space responded to the dimensional stem.

    I feel a resonance that only I can feel.

    In that resonance, I focused on the sensation of the dimensional stem.

    A space as pitch black as space.

    I felt it through my senses of the dimensional stem, that only intangible matter like black dust existed here, and a solid spider web-like dimensional wall made of that material was blocking all directions.

    When you cross the dimensional wall, the two spaces become connected. Rather than crossing over, it is more accurate to say that you are digging into the gap in the spider web with the dimensional stem.

    But I quit.

    What we are going to do now is not dimensional travel.

    It involves skipping space by connecting different points in this world from outside the world.

    Sreuk-

    As he crossed the dimensional wall while grasping space with his dimensional stem, the space around his clone became distorted.

    The key starts here.

    If you cross another dimension wall, you will be transported to another dimension.

    and… What if we break through the wall of the dump again?

    What if you head to a different place from the starting point?

    Then, you will be able to skip to any disposal site, no matter how far away it is.

    I described the dimensional wall as being like a solid spider web.

    To compare it to this, it can be seen as returning to another gap in the spider web.

    It is not a dimensional leap, but a spatial leap.

    There is no need to cross dimensions.

    I’m slowly getting the hang of it.

    How to leap through space.

    Now I can move anywhere in the dump if I want. In fact, this would be simpler than breaking through the dimension.

    Of course, there are drawbacks.

    Control is very difficult.

    Can’t move to the correct location.

    It requires more sophisticated senses than just putting a dot on a very small map and finding your way there.

    In this way, you will be traveling with a very large margin of error at your destination.

    but.

    Slurp!-

    The space in front of the clone became distorted.

    Dimension stems can be coordinate columns.

    Any clone with a dimensional stem could easily connect to the main stem.

    You can just think of it as a space lightning rod.

    Wow!!-

    The dimensional stem of the main body was torn like a round circle, and soon the space in front of the clone was connected.

    “… I did it.”

    “Oh.”

    A portal was formed.

    Rather than randomly connecting spaces by drilling into unknown points, I intentionally created a space that connected the two points I wanted.

    If you pass through that distorted space, you will immediately reach another space, so it is safe to say that it is a portal.

    The first plan was a success.

    That means.

    “Kuot!!! It really is a portal!!”

    “Preparations are all complete. Shinmok.”

    “Please leave the creatures that are harmful to the forest to us.”

    “We will do our best to help too!!”

    Miya.

    Elf of the sacred tree.

    Dryads and fairies.

    This means that you will be able to join the most elite forces that dealt with Argon. Although they will not fight directly, they will play a big role in this operation.

    “Wheel? Who are you?”

    Poke.

    Miya came up and stabbed me in the arm.

    I told him that I could open a portal to fight the city, but he didn’t know that I was here in another body, so he didn’t recognize me.

    “It’s me.”

    “Huh?”

    “It’s called Muchan. I once said that I could control multiple bodies, but did I forget? No, I guess I just don’t have any sense.”

    “Ugh!? Wow, speaking informally just now was a mistake!!”

    Miya.

    The village’s only ruler-level power.

    Although he has many shortcomings, he is the second most powerful person next to Shaella, and is an assassin type specialized in fast speed and infiltration, so he will be a very important core of the operation in case of emergency.

    Please, I hope he doesn’t come forward.

    But before that.

    “Shinmok. I brought it as you instructed.”

    “Thank you.”

    The Messiah held out a fruit the size of his face.

    It was the last elixir that I kept safely at home.

    “Hehehe… Are you eating that too?”

    Miya gave me a greedy look, so I immediately handed it over to Shaella.

    “Eat this in times of emergency. Because it will heal and strengthen you much faster than the tree of life.”

    “Hehe. You’re finally giving it to me.”

    Shaella accepted the elixir of life.

    The fruit disappeared from Shaella’s hand with a crunch. After Miya’s theft became more severe, Shaella used to open the subspace like that to store her share of snacks.

    I guess I’ll have to ask you to teach me later.

    Next he looked at the elf side and said.

    “Everyone got plenty of life potions, right?“

    “Yes. We took 10 per person.”

    After planning the operation, I told them as well, so there was nothing to prepare.

    All that remains is to execute the operation.

    The operation is simple.

    Shaella sneaks in.

    Here, I communicate with Shaella’s stem, inform him of the destination, search and rescue Iyan, and help him escape from the city.

    It would be nice if it ended here… .

    If a battle breaks out, Miya will send additional troops into the city to support Shaella or attract attention. Likewise, elves and fairies attack the castle walls to attract attention, and dryads protect them.

    However, in case of emergency, escape through the portal.

    I am on standby to create a portal at any time and control everyone.

    “Kuhuhuhu. I’m looking forward to it. What city did I originally want to go to?”

    “Please do not cause trouble to the divine tree.”

    “What do you say? You idiot. There is no one more loyal than me!”

    Miya and the sacred tree elf are arguing.

    “We will protect the fairies.”

    “Ehehehe- I love Dryad! Please be our home again this time!”

    Dryads and fairies became friendly.

    Everyone is full of will.

    If the situation arises, you can escape to the village through the portal, so there will be no major damage.

    But the biggest problem is… .

    “Muchan. I’ll be back.”

    It’s Shaelada.

    He enters the city alone and takes Iyan out.

    In fact, it is no different from shouldering the burden of operational risk alone.

    That’s why I was worried.

    I wonder if he might get hurt.

    “Shaella… Should I quit now?”

    “Huh? Why?”

    “No, should I go too?”

    “Suddenly?”

    “If that’s not the case, it’s okay for me to break in. Because I don’t care if I die.”

    “Hmm… .”

    Shaella stared at me.

    And soon.

    Eat.

    “Muchan. The most useless worry in the world is worrying about me. If I can’t do it, no one can. So trust me and wait.”

    He raised himself with his thumb.

    I’m saying this lightly, but I can’t help but feel worried. Because of me, Shaella is being pushed into a dangerous place.

    “If you feel anxious, pray to me. So that this goddess can hear your voice.”

    “… Useless words.”

    “This is it.”

    “Be careful.”

    “Yap!”

    Shaella departed for the city.

    After showing his back and raising one hand.

    Shock!!-

    disappeared from his seat.

    *

    Yulav, the city gatekeeper.

    Gladiator helmet and great sword.

    Thick armor and an extra sword.

    He is overly armed to be considered a gatekeeper, and like Iyan, he is a noble slave. Although he had great strength from the beginning, he surrendered to his ruler and has now become the city’s faithful dog, claiming to be the gatekeeper.

    However.

    Pop-

    do.

    At some point, I lost consciousness.

    Next to him, where there had been no one until just now, Shaella, with silver hair and an eyepatch, was shaking her hands.

    “Shall I go~”

    Paaaa!!-

    When Shaella placed her hand on the huge door, it disappeared inside along with golden light. Although it was only a short distance, it was a magic that changed space.

    Swoosh!-

    I entered the city.

    Surprisingly, people didn’t notice her.

    Shaella was the absolute ruler of a world.

    Since being captured as a test subject, the power has never been increased.

    Muchan still evaluates it this way.

    An unfathomable monster.

    That’s Shaella.

    What is the end of one’s power, and what powers and techniques are used. The person who can measure Shaella’s power is unknown because she has never appeared.

    If you intend to and hide your presence.

    Sigh~

    The body’s light is refracted.

    Even the refracted flow is erased.

    Of course, it could not be seen with the naked eye, and no sound or sensation could be detected.

    As if there was nothing.

    Swish-

    I passed by the city people casually, and no one had any questions.

    Wiggle~

    At that moment, Zum Chan, who was wearing a bracelet, raised his head and pointed toward the center.

    [Shaella. Please go over there. This is where the Cardelpion clone stayed. If you dig underground, Iyan will probably be trapped. Please.]

    Muchan guided Shaella through the plant’s vision.

    Unless something special happened, there was no need to disturb the center.

    [Leave it to me.]

    Shaella advanced without hesitation.

    Even though there was a possibility of fighting, there was no tension.

    It didn’t take long to get to the center, and we soon arrived at Cardelpion Palace.

    but.

    [Muchan. The basement has already been dug?]

    [what?]

    Ian wasn’t there.

    The basement had already been ripped up by someone, and the stems had melted.
