“As I said before… Please take care of yourself, regardless of whether it’s inside or outside the tower.”

-yes…

Sierra, who is scolding me in an awkward manner.

I nodded at the hand stroking my hair.

A soft sensation brushed against her face. The bandage that had been pressing Sierra’s chest… the magic tool had come off.

‘It’s finally solved.’

I knew it from the first time we met. In the process of observing if there was any hidden secret, I naturally found the magic tool.

It wasn’t a threatening magical tool. Its only meaningful function was a bit of defensive magic. Since it was a magical tool from the past, its overall level was low.

I was feeling suffocated because my full chest was pressed tightly, but it seems like the battle road from earlier has finally been released.

“Don’t take it too seriously… ”

-Sierra, the magic tool has been released.

“… Ahem. I know that too… ”

There was a hint of embarrassment in Sierra’s eyes, her cheeks slightly red. However, she also seemed to feel a sense of liberation, as if she was uncomfortable as well.

“You are swinging your sword with immature skills, so it is a nuisance. As you know, this era is far from peaceful. If you go around openly saying you are a woman, you will inevitably encounter various troublesome things.”

Even though I hadn’t asked, Sierra explained the reason she came to wear the magic tool.

“Of course, you can make it difficult for them every time by giving them a hard time, but if it keeps happening, it becomes annoying.”

-Even if you cover your chest, wouldn’t you know you’re a woman if you look at your face?

“Is that what you are talking about?”

As I tilted my head, Sierra looked down at me with narrowed eyes.

The black eyes scanned my features openly. I puffed out my cheeks slightly at the sight.

-Why me…

“If you only look at the face value, Lee Ha-yool is a woman of a hundred and one─

-Aaaa

Kiiing! Sierra’s shoulders trembled at the sound that was like scratching a blackboard. I broke free from her soft embrace and shook my head violently.

-Anyway, the situation is settled now that we’ve defeated the Zhou boss monster.

“… Phew, yes. Now that we’ve caught Alpha, the monsters that invaded the front lines will soon scatter. ”

He quickly changed the subject to something unpleasant. Seeing that expression, Si-eun Si-era sighed and turned her head away.

“It’s gone. Without a trace.”

Sierra’s face became complicated when she saw the huge crater. I nodded while observing her expression that seemed to be filled with arrogant thoughts.

‘hmm.’

I took a quick look at the situation on the clone side again.

The original observation is centered around me, but since the clone can also act as a kind of transmitter, one more range is expanded centered around the clone.

-Gooo…

The giant that attacked the front line is collapsing.

An unfathomable number of snowflakes are disintegrating the giant’s body, and the fire and sea are pouring down on it, burning and freezing it and splitting it apart.

‘Third tier… Alpha, I guess. That was a bit dangerous.’

It’s not because the main body died. The giant that was just here died without a trace in the three species, but the clone remained.

The giant’s clone became the main body.

This is the giant’s unique ability. The level of the clone created from darkness is comparable to that of the main body, but it is no different from an extra body.

The boundary between the main body and the clone is blurred.

So I attacked the clone and the main body at the same time.

It’s a truly bizarre ability. I don’t know if it’s been like that since birth, but it’s now a unique ability that fits the status of a 3rd-tier alpha.

‘It wasn’t as bad as the two-headed dragon, but it was still a threat.’

It feels like the 3rd tier alpha is being caught a bit weakly, but that’s because they planned their strategy well.

To begin with, we don’t have enough manpower; we have too many.

The giant’s clones are now Yeonhwa and Baek Arin, who have reached the top level in basic skills. They are my specially made clones.

The hidden giant’s main body appeared and Sierra of this era launched a complete surprise attack and began to subdue it.

Even if it’s not the highest level, it’s five.

I also had a perfect grasp of the information through observation. I was even assisting to prevent darkness from falling, so I had enough power to subdue a 3rd-tier enemy.

‘Even without considering that, I think it’s a double-headed dragon after all…’

No matter how much I think about it, I doubt that the twin-headed dragon is a 3rd tier creature.

The body level itself may be 3rd level, but its unique ability to poison and disease is too threatening.

If you just consider the damage and lethality, it seems like it would be worthy of second tier…

-after

As I was thinking about it for a moment, the giant on the front line eventually completely collapsed.

A loud cheer rang in the clone’s ears. He nodded and checked his arms.

The arm that Sierra had wrapped tightly in a bandage. It had regained some vitality and was somewhat recovered. Even the twisted part had returned to its original state.

I put my hand on my heart. As I calmed down a little, I recognized the uniqueness that had entered me with confidence.

‘Taesan.’

The power to control the earth. The power to control the life that grows from the earth, and the spirits that eventually lie down on the earth…

‘The structure is a bit more complicated than the original. There are still a lot of expansion capabilities that have not been used.’

The expansion ability of the fear is set in total.

However, Taesan’s expansion ability is much greater than that. When he raised his hand slightly, a white and yellow light appeared in his palm.

I absorbed the fresh, green energy that was swirling around in my palm into my body.

It naturally seeped into my body.

That’s it.

As Taesan began to fully manifest, my skills regarding vitality increased. I began to recognize things I had not recognized before.

The energy is absorbed into the body. That’s all. There is nothing that can be done about the fundamental ‘vessel’.

“Lee Ha-yul.”

A hand was placed on my head again. It was Sierra’s hand, looking at my complexion with a worried expression.

-are you okay

He shook his head. Hadn’t he already given up on that part and made other plans?

‘Anyway, at this point, it seems like it’s worth trying to restore the fairy tree.’

I didn’t have the confidence to cut down the fairy tree with the Taesan I copied before. But now, somehow, I feel confident that I can do it.

‘Hehehe… ‘

Thinking about it like that, I felt a surge of confidence. The hand stroking my hair also helped my confidence grow.

-Sierra, Sierra. Before we go back to the front lines, can we… experiment with something for a bit…

Sierra’s face, which had been filled with worry, hardened for a moment.

My growing confidence has become wrinkled…

.

.

.

As the giant fell, so did the leadership.

The monsters that lost their commanding officer naturally scattered. Some ran away, and some lost their minds and planned battles, but the trend was somewhat reorganized.

“Are you here?”

Outside the front line barrier.

Yeonhwa and Baek Arin did not enter the barrier and were guarding the place where the giant had collapsed.

I found out the reason through the clone. The giants are already dead and scattered, but I am standing guard just in case.

… But in the meantime, perhaps because they were bored, the two of them sat down on the floor and fondled each other’s cheeks.

That’s why the corners of my mouth were twitching a little while ago. Even if you say it’s a clone, it’s just a body that can be controlled remotely.

‘Ahem.’

He coughed and made a hand gesture with both hands. His clone came to life and melted away.

Baek A-rin, who had been touching the clone’s cheek, covered her mouth with one hand.

“Oops, the attachment doll disappeared.”

[It’s not a doll…]

Isn’t that true? I suddenly had that thought as I refuted Baek A-rin’s playful muttering.

Sharing of sensations. A body that is weak and fragile, but has soft touch and body temperature.

The original incarnation technique that has not been modified or sacrificed the vessel is suitable for use as a craft or an attachment doll…

‘Ahem.’

The life force that formed my clone returned to me. The same goes for the artifact that my clone was wearing.

The wings that had flown in slowly were wrapped around me, and a necklace of confession was placed around my neck. I grabbed the purification that had come towards me first.

“… Huh?”

The life force was absorbed into the body. In the process, the two people’s eyes widened at the sound that came out.

“Hoohoohoohoo… ”

“Ha-yul-ah, you now… ”

“Yes, that’s right!”

It was the reaction I had been hoping for. The corners of my lips twitched in response to Yeonhwa’s question that didn’t end. My confidence, which had been fading, raised its head again.

“This isn’t an imitation, it’s a proper expression of Mt. Taesan!”

He straightened his shoulders proudly. At the same time, he revealed the momentum that had been hidden for a moment, and Yeonhwa and Baek Arin’s expressions changed.

“Hoohoohoo… ”

That reaction is somehow enjoyable. The emotions that change with each of my actions! I can control Nanyeonhwa and Baek Arin’s emotions…

“How is it? It’s amazing! I just realized it while catching a 3rd tier monster! As expected of the Tower of Growth. I thought it would take some time, but it’s already realized… As expected of Kkotnim… No, that doesn’t seem to be it… Anyway! ”

I spread my hands wide.

‘compliment!’

You did a great job. Naturally, there had to be a reward for it. That reward was praise. My eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“… ?”

The compliments didn’t come right away. The surprise disappeared from their expressions and other emotions were revealed.

“Has Taesan already appeared?”

“You really created it and started from Mt. Taesan?”

Jealousy, resentment, discontent…

“Oh my… How did it happen… ”

This wasn’t the reaction I expected. I just hung my hands in confusion and rolled my eyes.

Have you already created Taesan?

It’s definitely a bit fast. I first imitated Gyeophwa when I was young, and there was a time when I could do it, so Taesan was quick to manifest.

Leave the creation alone and start from Mt. Taesan? This was inevitable.

I, too, am constantly imitating Changhae for Baek A-rin, but in my case, there were many instances where I had to use Taesan more…

“As Lee Ha-yul said, the leader entity has been confirmed to have disappeared.”

At that moment, I heard footsteps behind me. It was Sierra, who had come out to greet me and relayed the situation to some of the superhumans.

“Thank you both for your hard work. Please come inside first instead of doing this on the dirty floor.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Sierra. Fortunately, it looks like you don’t have any major injuries. ”

The two people who had been showing their discontent with him straightened their expressions. At Baek A-rin’s words with a faint smile, Yeon-hwa looked back at me.

“… Haruldo… doesn’t look hurt on the outside… ‘”

Yeonhwa tilted her head, grabbed my chin, and examined my face thoroughly.

“You’re not hurt, right?”

“Don’t worry. Taesan has appeared, and Sierra is by your side. What could have gone wrong?”

I, who was flustered by the unexpected reaction, controlled my expression. I grabbed the necklace of confession and nodded with a smile.

There was nothing wrong with that.

The fact that Mt. Taishan appeared. The fact that Sierra was by my side. The fact that there were no problems… It’s all true.

-thank you

I turned my head towards Sierra and thanked her in a loud voice.

Sierra intervened appropriately to break the awkward atmosphere.

“… … ”

[?]

As I sent the message with that thought, I suddenly blinked.

Sierra’s expression upon receiving the thanks was very strange. She looked at Yeonhwa and Baek Arin alternately with a worried look.

Suddenly, a feeling of uneasiness struck my heart.

[That… Sierra? What’s going on─]

“Hong Yeon-hwa. And Baek A-rin.“

The worries were over. As soon as Sierra opened her mouth, the two people who were preparing to enter the barrier turned their heads.

“I have something to say to you two about Lee Ha-yul.”

“… What about Harul? What are you talking about?”

Instantly, Yeonhwa’s eyes narrowed. Sierra looked at my face as if she was hesitating for the last time, and glanced at my hand.

Right hand. It was cut and torn several times at the Tower of Growth, and was just now in tatters due to the aftermath of the Three Bells…

“To be more precise, regarding the battle earlier, and regarding the carelessness of one’s body… ”

[Ah, wait a minute-boo]

-Boom…

My mouth was shut. My necklace was also gripped tightly.

“… Hmm? You said our baby wasn’t hurt? ”

A hot gaze was fixed on Jeong Su-ri.

It should not be visible to the naked eye, but due to observation, eyes that were blazing like fire were recognized…

My eyes were trembling.

.

.

.

“Wow… ”

I came in… no, I was dragged into a tent and locked up. I cried tears of resentment and snuggled into Elia’s arms.

“Taesan, Taesan appeared… ”

“Ugh. This is what you sow.”

“Eliaaa… ”

Elia let out a sigh and shrugged her shoulders. My shoulders narrowed in response. Even Elia reacted like this…

“People around me have told me this over and over again, but you’re doing it again. Huh? How much are you going to tear the hearts of the people around you apart… ”

“This is the Tower of Growth… ”

“Oh, wow. No matter where you are, you have to take care of your body.”

“Hing… ”

The unexpected betrayal of Sierra, whom I trusted, led to the revelation of a secret.

Fortunately, it wasn’t all a secret.

The part that was revealed was that in order to create the appearance of Mt. Taishan, he was intentionally hit by a giant, and his body was slammed down, burst, torn, and crushed…

“Oh my, what should I do with this now… ”

“Muguggeung… ”

When I raised my head, my butt was grabbed. I couldn’t help but whimper at the gentle but strict hand.

The bright yellow eyes that looked down at me said I was in trouble. Eventually, I let go of my nose, and I sniffled and buried my face in Elia’s chest.

The silence continues.

Instead of the scolding I was worried about, a hand came up to gently stroke my head.

At the same time, a gaze like that of a mischievous child came into view.

As I buried myself in her arms to avoid those warm and unfamiliar gazes, Elia, who had been ruffling my hair, opened her mouth.

“… My baby, are you hungry?”

-Gulp

Before I could answer, my stomach rumbled as if it were a conditioned reflex.

“Oh, oh no. Come to think of it, I haven’t had a proper meal since this morning.”

Elia let out a wry laugh. I buried my face deeper into his chest to hide my blushing face and mumbled.

“… I haven’t answered yet… ”

“Huh? You don’t want to eat?”

[negative]

[Negative… No… Mute]

“Huh, what are you doing with that necklace?”

Elia, who was giggling, put her hand on her clothes.
