episode_0181

There is a woman resembling clear water, fiercely engaged in battle alone, not far from where we are.

She is clearly an elf herself, using elven-specific spirit magic to strengthen herself and her weapon to fight.

Then one question remains here.

‘Weren’t all the elves already done for?’

All the elves I had met since crossing over to the West Continent were only dark elves corrupted by the .

But her skin wasn’t dark, nor did she use the dark energy typical of dark elves.

Rather, a power on the opposite side of dark energy.

Borrowing the power of spirits to fight, she was clearly an elf, and at the same time, an elf not corrupted by the .

‘Besides, that hair color….’

An elf, and blue water-colored hair.

The image of a certain elf comes to mind.

It is a member of the second party that the main character Leon can obtain in the original game .

An elf who is captured as a slave in the East Continent and meets Leon.

At the same time, the reason she was captured as a slave was that she deliberately borrowed money to become a slave and didn’t repay it, so she was caught as is, a truly chaotic reason.

She looked very much like the elf I call a masochist elf.

“Young master, what will you do?”

Baekryeon, realizing that I was concerned about the battle happening in the distance, asks with good sense.

Well….

I’m also wondering what to do….

“Baekryeon, Seollin, Leviya. Help that child.”

“Then what about you?”

“I’ll head to the World Tree as is. You guys help that child, listen to her story first, and then…. I’ll leave the subsequent actions to you.”

Baekryeon and Seollin nodded at my words.

And Leviya,

“Leviya?”

“…Ar, are you okay on your own?”

She subtly grabs the sleeve of my clothes.

I smiled at the sight and said.

“It’s okay. Because I’ll win.”

* * *

“…As expected, you came.”

The very top of the .

The beautiful blonde woman there raised the corners of her lips.

She picked a fruit that had formed on the World Tree’s branch and brought it to her lips.

Crunch

As she took a bite of it, which looked close to an apple, the fruit in her hand disappeared as if melting, and instead, the power contained in the fruit was absorbed into the woman.

“Hmm…, I haven’t absorbed all the power yet, but…. This power will be enough.”

The woman slowly moved her steps, heading to the end of the World Tree branch where she was standing.

In the distance, something rushing like a meteor.

Her fellow elves are trying to stop it from below, but the woman could tell.

That cannot be stopped.

If she herself is an irrationality with overwhelming power for the beings of this world, that itself.

That rushing like a meteor is also irrationality itself.

“An ant can’t kill an elephant.”

The direction of the rushing meteor changed.

It seems to have sensed her. Considering that it confirmed her presence even though it was still quite far away, its sensing ability seems to be quite outstanding.

“Darkross.”

Swish swish swish

Black shadows gather from all directions.

With the dark spirit Darkross surrounding her body, the woman fell from the World Tree branch as is.

* * *

“St, stop it!!”

“Prevent him from approaching that person!!”

All sorts of attacks from the elves pour in.

But none of those can threaten me.

Their attacks did not have the power and speed of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven level, so they lightly broke through without even grazing my clothes.

“Fast!….”

“Wa, was he hiding his strength during the underground city!!”

It seems there are some among the dark elves here who attacked the underground city.

“Still, if I leave them like this and they stab me in the back, it’ll be troublesome…. Should I clean them up a bit?”

“Mountain Cleaving”

Ping, Kwaaaaaang!!!

A flash of light drawn horizontally.

The sword pressure that arises the moment that flash of light flashes pushes away all the dark elves rushing at me.

“…!”

And at that moment, a presence falling from the upper layers of the World Tree.

The presence of the that I had felt since earlier was approaching me exactly.

“I was going to go down if you didn’t come down, but…, you still give me some guest treatment.”

Readjusting my sword, I finish preparing to intercept the falling .

I wielded spirit energy, and then holy spirit energy as if covering it.

Double condensation of spirit energy.

“Take my strike that sent the Heavenly Demon away! Demon!!”

“Earth Cleaving – Reverse”

Not a downward slash from above, but an upward slash from below.

It accurately aimed at the falling at high speed from above, cutting through all the thick branches of the World Tree and soaring upwards.

King! Fwoooo!!

That strike, which seemed like it would soar endlessly, scattered with a tremendous roar the moment it touched the .

“Hmph….”

“I thought I would have to go find you, but I never thought you would come out yourself.”

“Since someone came to my house, shouldn’t the owner go out to greet them in person?”

Flapping its black wings, the slowly descended.

‘Not even a scratch after being hit by that strike?…’

I recall the time when I defeated the Heavenly Demon.

The guy who obtained the Sword Demon’s body was quite strong, but he died after being hit by my double-condensed spirit energy.

What’s important here is that the Heavenly Demon didn’t defend against my attack and was directly hit as is.

He defended to receive my strike, but it broke through that defense and killed the Heavenly Demon.

Thinking about it from there, my maximum attack power can be seen as exceeding the defense power of the Demon King’s fragment.

But the succeeded in defending against my attack. It wasn’t even a difficult defense, and it wasn’t that the defense wasn’t perfect and there were injuries.

“…Tsk, doing troublesome things.”

“Then where…. Shall we perform a splendid sword dance, betting the fate of this world?”

A spear containing pure black light was held in the ‘s hand.

At the same time, the ‘s wings fluttered.

Thump!

The sound of air bursting is heard, and the ‘s figure disappears faintly.

The ‘s disappeared figure appeared right in front of me.

At the same time, with the spear thrust aiming accurately at my head, I slightly moved my head to avoid it and swung my sword.

Because of the action of thrusting with the spear, the posture was broken, and even though this attack could not have been avoided, the avoided my sword.

“Tsk! The wings….”

The suddenly flew into the air using its wings.

Thanks to that, having avoided my sword, it threw the spear it was holding this time.

It turned into a black line and pierced me.

Clang!!

But I deflect the black line and readjust my sword.

“Great Sea Cleaving!”

Kwaang!!!

A thrust that pierces everything is unleashed in a fleeting moment.

Whether it was because the wings were strained due to the forced movement, or because it couldn’t react to this speed, the was directly hit by the thrust and crashed into the World Tree’s pillar.

“Did I get it?”

No sooner had I said those words than dozens of black lines soared from the cloud of dust rising thickly, drawing irregular trajectories and rushing at me.

Deflecting some of the black lines, each of which was targeting me like a living creature, I avoided others.

“I shouldn’t have said those words.”

“Even if you hadn’t said those words, I wouldn’t have died.”

The emerged from the smoke.

“…?”

‘Did the wings get bigger?’

The wings seem a little bigger than before, is it just my imagination?

But before I could deeply contemplate this thought, the moved.

“It seems difficult to win with close combat after all. So…, I’ll show you my specialty.”

Black spheres arise around the .

“Black Wolf.”

With the ‘s declaration, the black spheres turned into hundreds of black lines.

And those rushed in like living creatures, just like before.

“Hmph!”

I swing my sword, and at the same time move to avoid.

But the black line tenaciously targets me like a wolf and comes in.

Moreover, the speed at which the black line moves is erratic, and the trajectory is not constant, making it quite difficult to fend off.

As a result, I ended up allowing a few attacks after all.

“Keuk….”

The black line’s penetration power is considerable, and wounds appeared on my body, which is impervious to most attacks.

How long has it been since I had such wounds?

“Yeah, you prepared a lot, didn’t you?”

“Thanks to the guy who foolishly tries to fight in the most advantageous battlefield for the opponent, it will be easily finished.”

“Really?…. That’s…. Whoever it is that lives like that, it’s a bit tiring.”

【system : Activates .】

I feel like I understand a little why the Great Sage Equaling Heaven tried to teach me this technique while beating me up.

In the end, as much as I have become stronger, the enemy I will surely meet here.

The Demon King’s fragment will also become stronger in some way, so he must have been trying to tell me not to fight relying solely on strength.

【system : Manifests . The recognition level increases by one stage.】

【system : Consumes 5% magic power per second.】

Everything slows down.

My senses go berserk so sensitively that it feels like everything has slowed down.

In this state, I can exert all my strength and speed at full power.

So….

“You’re dead now.”
