by adminEpisode 101 – The Giving Tree 16 –
A soul revealed through ghost sword techniques.
Even on the outside, the spirit was incredibly bizarre.
Even a stranger could see that the owner of this soul was very twisted.
‘The beginning was ordinary.’
The beginning of the soul was ordinary.
However, it started to twist rapidly in the middle.
parents. Or, it was a trace seen when a similar person died around this time.
A child who lost a precious person lived a life of the lowest class.
But ironically, there was a bottom at the bottom.
Even in the lowest class, which was just filthy, there was a divide between upper and lower classes.
The owner of this soul was the weakest dog among the lowest class.
But although he was weak, he was lucky.
The life of the lower class means that no matter how strong you may be, you may suddenly die the next day.
In such a place, they succeeded in surviving safely until adulthood.
And the world was fair.
Good luck never comes to those who endure misfortune.
An example of this was when an army of lions attacked the village where he lived.
He didn’t die because he happened to be noticed by the Lion Legion.
I had no choice but to join the Lion Corps.
It was the greatest misfortune, he thought.
This is because I thought that if he had died at that time, he would have at least become an ordinary victim.
‘Ohh. This pattern appears at least when one is clearly aware of one’s mistakes. that’s interesting.’
People often do not know their own minds.
There are times when you don’t feel guilty at all.
Most people feel guilty but either don’t notice it or try to ignore it.
However, this man was clearly aware that his actions were wrong.
But I couldn’t escape.
It wasn’t anything special.
The absurdity experienced by the majority of men who entered the military in Korea.
However, the majority of those who committed such absurd acts were ordinary people.
It may be impossible for a being who has already entered hell not to become a devil.
After that it was normal.
I just moved up and improved my skills.
When he became strong enough, he stabbed the corps commander to death and inherited the corps commander’s power.
And I decided to go to this land to eliminate the guardian of the World Tree.
‘Nietzsche was right. No. ‘I guess this is a slightly different case since I’ve never tried to fight a monster.’
There is no clear leader in the Lion Corps.
This is in contrast to the Evil God Church’s patriarch, the vampires’ progenitor vampire, and the elves’ guardian of the World Tree.
This means that he could have escaped at any time.
“Now it’s done.”
I understood his whole life.
Why did you make that choice?
Why did you make that choice?
Fortunately, this corps commander was not a person with any peculiarities in body or personality.
It was a typical story of an ordinary man becoming corrupted by misfortune.
So you can learn.
One of his techniques is unique.
‘Gyeongji is difficult because the body is not good, but… ‘You can learn swordsmanship and other things.’
Learn his skill, summoning.
Learn black magic, which was his skill.
Learn necromancy, which was his skill.
I understand him and know his life.
I know his training methods and all his various things.
Words are not enough. Not even with the eyes.
However, if souls communicate with each other, it is transmitted.
Then you can understand.
Because the transmitted signal can be interpreted.
[What are you doing? ]
The corps commander asked me, giving up everything.
It was as if he realized there was no chance of survival.
I have no intention of saving you.
I am not a person who saves people out of pity. Also, to say that I am a good person is not enough to say that I am rehabilitating an evil person.
Instead, we can make it easier for you to go there.
I spoke to him for the last time.
“Agifactor. Born as the second child to an ordinary family, he lost his family to the lion army. That’s why he joined the Lion Corps for revenge, but ended up becoming a commander because he didn’t want to give up what he had.
You are a pitiful person. I wanted revenge because I had nothing, but even that hatred eventually ran out, and I was worried that I would lose what I had achieved, so I became a corps commander.”
Through interpretation and communication, I was able to roughly retrieve his memories.
Things that are buried deep within him are conveyed.
A dynamic change is detected in his face.
He was surprised that I knew about his past.
“You have lived a truly unfortunate fate. If the lion army hadn’t killed your parents, you would have lived a more normal life.”
That’s why it’s ironic.
As the saying goes, there is no villain without a story.
A man named Agifactor was born as an ordinary man and planned to love, marry, and start a family as an ordinary man.
Due to the tragedy of his parents being killed by an army of lions, he eventually became one of the worst villains.
“So, please say goodbye. If the Underworld exists. I hope I can live there forgetting about my previous life.”
He just closed his eyes.
I didn’t even beg for my life.
[If everyone in this world was like you… Has the world become a little better?]
He just asked me a question.
And my answer to his question was decided.
In “? Is there anything in the world to do? If this world is filled with me, it won’t be long before everything collapses. Even if there are just three more people, it would be a mess.”
He laughed and accepted death at my almost joking answer.
There was no need for me to take my life.
He took his own life.
Auras are the source of life, so if the auras run out, the target dies.
In the case of a typical knight, he does not die from exhaustion because his body forces him to lose consciousness before that.
But black magic is possible.
He simply chose the way warlocks chose to be tortured.
“If the underworld is narrow and we can meet, then we’ll meet again.”
[I also… Let me remember you… ]
I have no hard feelings towards him.
Are you going to kill people and eat them? There are a lot of people who just keep you alive and eat you.
I just took it down because I needed to take it down.
It’s like half the universe disappeared when TaNorth used his finger snap.
The entire body turned into black powder and ashes.
There was only one thing left in that place.
Soil that can no longer be called human.
After all events are over.
To test what I had learned, I tried various things.
“Aaaaa!!”
When everything was over and I was doing maintenance for a while.
A scream was heard from behind.
It was a voice I knew.
“Are you awake?”
“Off… What on earth did you do to your body? ?”
Anesthesia is a technique that temporarily prevents the body from performing its functions.
Therefore, the moment the anesthesia wears off, the body regains the lost function.
That’s why you usually feel the pain again.
Usually, pain goes away slowly, not all at once.
“It’s because of some kind of anesthesia. That’s because the pain remains inside the body.”
“What happened… Will this pain remain? ”
“At least that’s because she’s a saint. Because the body is healed, the normal body does not feel pain.”
Even when the body returns to normal, the pain nerves continue to cause pain until the body feels normal, which is why you moan.
“Now, wait… What have we done now? Everyone else has gone somewhere, just the two of us… ”
“Ah. For now, the biggest threat has been dealt with. I defeated the commander of the Lion Corps, who was hoarding his strength to take charge of being the guardian of the World Tree.”
In “? Corps commander? Abraxas while I was sleeping?”
“Yes. Can you see this ash now? This is the corps commander.”
Of course, looking at its combat power, it was definitely not at the level of defeating the guardian of the World Tree.
I don’t know how strong the Guardian is, but especially if you compare it to a Sword Saint or a Demon Emperor.
‘maybe… Was he trying to kill time?’
The purpose of this invasion was probably to take advantage of the characteristics of the Lion Legion.
A characteristic of the Lion Corps is that even if it suffers damage, it can start rebuilding at any time as long as the main personnel are intact.
It seems that the goal was to use that to cause great damage to the elves and end it.
If it ends successfully, trust in safety will be broken, and the alliance will be even less trustworthy.
So in the end, it would have become weaker due to internal strife.
Since the Legion’s original goal was to weaken Abenheim, they were probably aiming for that.
“So how on earth…? Did you do it?”
The healing saint asked me again after she had figured out the situation.
But there was no time to explain the situation yet.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have time to explain. I have to go help other people.”
“What is that… no way. Are there still legions of the dead left?”
“Yes. So far, what we were dealing with was not the corps commander’s corps, but just regular units.”
The healing saint looked shocked at those words.
Usually, he just smiles softly and shows a mysterious appearance. It was the first time I had seen him so shocked.
“Sleep… Then I’m in a situation where I’m not there either… I have to go there quickly… ”
“Ah. are you okay. Princess Alice participated in the war.”
“No matter how powerful you are, only the princess will be safe… The aura of domination is such a force.”
“Is it going to be okay? I guess I didn’t expect something like that when I fought the corps commander?”
There is no chance that the princess will have any problems.
First of all, the power of domination is a powerful power that can dominate the body.
Also, it is because Petroel is attached to the princess.
If things don’t work out, Petroel will personally inform the princess of the relevant facts, so there can be no problem.
Of course, the healing saint doesn’t know anything about Alice’s power of control.
It’s also inevitable to worry.
“So you’re saying you don’t need help?”
“No? I have to go first. As the saying goes, “even a blank piece of paper is better if you stick to it,” no matter how easy it is, it becomes easier if you help.”
“Was there such a saying? anyway. That is correct.”
This is why I say most proverbs are proverbs I heard somewhere.
Perhaps because it is based in the US, most Korean proverbs are useless.
“Then let’s go. Because I have to take care of Alice and others.”
I just nodded at the saint’s words and headed toward that land.
Now the invasion was slowly coming to an end.
========
“, what on earth is this…? !”
“Princess… This… !”
Alice’s power was truly surprising.
Especially the professors who were twice as old as Alice.
“What on earth did you do?”
“What do you mean?”
One of the more powerful necromancers glared at Alice and asked.
But Alice just sneered as if she didn’t understand.
“How can you even dominate someone else’s body?!”
The necromancer who seemed to be the leader spoke as if he was struggling.
If it’s natural, it’s natural.
What Alice showed was truly shocking.
[Follow my words.]
As Abraxas had previously requested. After telling others to follow him.
The sight of her immediately flaunting the golden aura of domination and covering those around her was enough to elicit ridicule in the beginning.
Because nothing has changed.
Corps and troops.
But when that power soon reached the necromancers, everything changed.
attacked each other.
Suddenly, those affected by that power fell to their knees to Alice Tantalota.
Alice Tantalota accepted it as if it were natural and led them.
“Intelligence was completely eliminated… !”
It was within their assumption that Alice Tantalota existed.
So, they also cast a black spell to eliminate intelligence and completely obey the orders of superiors in case of emergency.
No matter how friendly he was to the princess, it was meaningless if he only followed his superior’s orders.
And that thought was shattered without notice.
What they were most concerned about was control.
Alice’s rule governs the mind and body separately.
In other words, even if you become an idiot, you can move as long as you are still alive.
in other words. Even in a state where intelligence was lost, numerous necromancers were thoroughly following Alice’s words and attacking high-ranking necromancers.
Alice was escorted by professors who had learned Auror skills.
They were followed by wizards and elf archers.
‘To have that kind of power… I neither heard nor saw it. ‘How can such a force exist?’
Alice Tantalota The necromancer who was watching was astonished.
This is because such power has never even been reported in records.
The ruling power of the royal family is said to have originated from the power of the Heavenly God.
The origin of that power is unknown, but its basis is similar to the way the Heavenly God used to control angels.
Meanwhile, the other royal families could only use the power of the bridle that the Heavenly God used to control the angels in their favor rather than force them.
Of course, he was inferior to the Heavenly God, so the limit was to prevent him from betraying himself.
However, direct control was also possible over the Heavenly God.
Until now, there was no royal family member who could use such power.
and Alice Tantalota. That power was revealed in the current second princess of the Helium Empire.
“Elder… If that’s the case… ”
“If elves are also affected by that power… ”
“I think it will probably work. Apparently, according to the explanation, it works for those who have intelligence above a certain level.”
“So does that mean it also works on vampires, dragons, and dwarves?”
“According to information written in the World Tree’s library, there is a record that the difference in characteristics in the first two cases is so severe that it is impossible.
There is only speculation that vampires move their bodies through blood, and in the case of dragons, it is because of the dragon heart.”
“Dwarf… Sounds like it works for elves. But why does it work even though it was made by an idiot?”
“That’s… We’re doing well too… In the first place, there wasn’t even information written about being able to control the body… ”
And its power surprised even the elf elders.
In some ways, it may be natural to worry about that level of power affecting them.
“Don’t tell this story anywhere. Until I give permission.”
“Okay.”
The professors also admired Alice’s power and followed her closely.
Professors are also people.
It is bound to be unpleasant to see a young man much younger than oneself giving orders only because of his higher status.
But if you have that level of ability, it’s different.
In that sense, Alice Tantalota clearly showed the danger of the royal family.
It is human nature to want to rely on someone in difficult situations.
For them, Alice Tantalota was a high-ranking person whom they could rely on.
Now the necromancer had no real power.
All low-level beings were ruled by Alice.
High-level beings will be eliminated by the academy professors and elves.
The Lion Corps maintained the battle with a huge amount of supplies that never ran out.
As that advantage disappeared, it may have been inevitable that it would collapse.
‘You can’t win this. I don’t know how the princess had such skills… We need to borrow the power of the corps commander… ‘
That is why he tried to mobilize the corps commander.
If there is a princess who wields that kind of power, she cannot be defeated even if the guardian of the World Tree exists.
Variables that may disrupt the operation.
So retreating was the right thing to do under the circumstances.
At that time, he was about to retreat to the land where the corps commander was waiting.
“Look. Holy woman. Is it okay?”
Someone was slowly walking out from behind.
And the high-ranking necromancer who saw that person could not help but be astonished.
This may be because I knew better than anyone else what his appearance meant.
“Did you come? I was waiting.”
Alice Tantalota welcomed the second son of a marquis who finally appeared.
The man everyone except the Lion Legion had been waiting for.
It was Abraxas Mentutihotep.
