I Became a Soul Eater chapter 108

[The fool did something stupid.]

It felt like giving up on hearing the details from Bastet.

After a while, Setas started muttering something.

“My time… My efforts…”

It was a research center quite far from the center of the city, but it was such a big explosion that the city was turned upside down.

Howard was among the hundreds of people who rushed to fix the accident. Of course, this was more of a spectacle than an apprenticeship.

“What? Is the little boy really out of his mind?”

“I don’t know yet either.”

“Is there anything you don’t know?”

“It’s not like I know everything.”

It happened while the clone attached to Setas was unfortunately away for a while to do other things.

It wasn’t a big fire, but there was a big explosion and everything was gone, so there was little to deal with. It was all about clearing away debris that had been blown away in all directions. While the people were busy cleaning up, Setas came back to his senses.

“Stop hitting me.”

Setas, who had been hit on the head by Bastet until now, blocked the cat’s hand.

“What’s going on?”

“The experiment failed.”

“So what experiment?”

Setas pouted and tried to dodge the answer a little.

[The fool tried to open the dimensional door.]

Bastet answered. If you think it’s like this, shouldn’t you have told me earlier?

“Was that possible?”

That part has been of interest since Emperor Eugene opened the dimensional door and moved to another dimension.

“Theoretically, it is possible. It’s the first time I’ve tried it.”

[Idiot, 10 years is too early.]

Bastet’s paw struck Setas’ forehead again. But what about 10 years from now?

“How were you going to do it?”

“I mixed the method of setting the coordinates and opening the phase dimension by applying the lord’s space movement magic a little. But I think the way I set the coordinates is wrong. Because I don’t have any coordinates that I know of. It may be a different problem, but for now, I think so.”

“So you’re saying that if you do the same experiment, there could be another explosion like this in the future?”

“That…isn’t it?”

It seems that Setas knew how to scold me, but it doesn’t matter as long as people don’t get hurt. However, no matter how remote the city is, it seems impossible to rebuild the research center inside the city.

“You don’t have to be in Tempest Manor anymore, do you?”

“Yes. Now I don’t even need to give advice to Uncle Argin.”

“Hmm, I think we should move the lab? I have to build a new one anyway, so which one is better? New continent or Akasha territory?”

“Hmm, I think a new continent would be nice.”

“Then I don’t know if there are any left to take care of, but take what you need and cross over to the New Continent. When it comes to construction, the surplus there are dwarves, so it will be soon.”

“yes”

It was confirmed that Setas would cross over to the New Continent again, and after asking Howard to clean up the wreckage of the laboratory, I headed back to Nivea’s territory.

These days, I have been spending a lot of time in the Nivea estate again. Should I say it’s compensation for not being by my side for two years? And even Peace was not by Nivea’s side, so he was paying attention. Nivea came to me who had just returned.

“What happened?”

“Yeah, Setas had a little accident.”

“It smells burnt.”

I smelled the coat. I was in the middle of the explosion site for a long time, so the smell was permeated. Women are sometimes sensitive when it comes to this.

“Thetas blew up the lab without a trace.”

“Isn’t it a small accident?”

“Because no one was hurt. It’s not a big accident.”

“thank god.”

I had good news to tell Nivea, but due to an accident in the middle, I missed the opportunity to tell Nivea.

“I have good news.”

“What is it?”

“Peace will be back soon.”

Peace’s teacher, Hamakhan Bollard, had told Peace not too long ago that his education would soon be over.

From noble mtl dot com.

The Druids who entered the Nivea Territory were living together on the highest hill in the Nivea Territory, and Peace was also living there.

The first 10 or so druids were gathered in Nivea Manor just like in the last battle.

They built a huge stone altar on the top of the mountain and performed daily rituals. It was questionable as to what effect it had, but I didn’t pay any attention to it because it wasn’t paying tribute or causing damage to the surroundings.

Among such druids, Peace was growing rapidly. Not only Hamakan, but all the druids were his teachers, and he absorbed their knowledge faster than expected.

However, Hamakan notified Peace a few days ago to prepare for the descent. The reason was that he could no longer take care of Peace because the world tree’s will was about to manifest.

Peace was saddened by the breakup, but happy to see Nivea again. Peace said goodbye to all the druids who taught him, one by one, and began the descent.

As the piece quickly descended the mountain and disappeared from sight, Hamakan, who was watching it, muttered as he stroked his stomach.

“If I had grown a little more, it would have been dangerous.”

He was also the victim of Peace’s special skill, torso headbutting. He endured because Hamakan’s level was high and his body was so strong.

Peace ran slowly at first, then picked up speed. As a descendant of the wolf tribe, the speed of running through the forest was terrifyingly fast. A smile appeared on Peace’s lips as he raced through the woods like a gale. It may be because of my mood, but I started to feel the scent of the house from afar. Peace’s feet felt lighter. I will be arriving home soon

“Oh really?”

Nivea was surprised and overjoyed.

“What? I haven’t prepared anything.”

“Do you have anything to prepare? You’re a kid who doesn’t eat well anyway. I will bring out a lot of fruit.”

I told the truth to Nivea, who was living in Busan alone, but what came back was a cold gaze. It’s the first time I’ve received such attention from Nivea.

There was not much to prepare for leaving Busan. All he did was clean Peace’s room.

I sat quietly in a corner. At times like this, it’s best to be like no one. At the same time, he was watching Peace, who was running home as an alter ego.

At that speed right now, no matter how much I say, I don’t think I can take it head-on. Peace is not an ordinary beast race. As I thought I would not have known, Nivea had a hand in it.

It is a piece that belongs to the original quality side. However, Nivea has placed blessings under the guise of curses on this and that, so in some parts it has exceeded the limits of the beast race. Thanks to this, the rift in Nivea’s soul has grown a little bigger.

If he continues to grow like this, within a few years he will be physically stronger than the Beast Warrior, and he has opened his eyes to spiritism through the teachings of the druids.

Druids use animism that is slightly different from elves. So to speak, kind of like me. Rather than manipulating the spirits, it is a form of borrowing power for a while. The piece that is now running is also borrowing the power of the wind spirit.

I began to hear Peace’s voice calling out to my mother from afar. When Peace arrived home, he expected a violent encounter, but Nivea overturned his expectations and grabbed the large body like a puppy as soon as he saw Peace and dragged him to the bathroom. It was because the child of the white wolf tribe returned as a gray wolf.

After a very long time, the exhausted mother and daughter came out of the bath. I brought out the dishes I had prepared in advance for the exhausted mother and daughter.

“thank you.”

“Old man, long time no see!”

“OK”

The piece was still the same. I thought it would be nice if I could soothe my loneliness by Nivea’s side for a long time.

Peace started living in Nivea’s house again. But Peace was not confined to the house as before.

Running through the forests and mountains, she used the knowledge she had learned from the druids to gather rare herbs, and even hunted small animals for Nivea that she seldom ate herself.

Of course, I had to argue with Nivea every time that my hair was dirty, and I taught Peace how to borrow the power of the water spirit.

In the meantime, the day came when the will of the World Tree, which the druids had been waiting for, was manifested.

Naturally, I knew something would happen at the altar on top of the mountain, but the place where it actually happened wasn’t inside Nivea’s estate, but a little far away. And the location was not very good either.

Work began precisely on the border between the Kingdom of Cython and the Principality of Nebra. Relations between the two countries were still not good. Even the merchants were not completely blocked, but the procedure was very difficult, and the general public had to see that they could hardly come and go.

Occasionally armed clashes broke out between the garrisons guarding both sides of the border. There is a part that can be called a buffer zone between the two countries with the border line in the middle, and a tree started to grow at a frightening speed there.

For the first few days, no one noticed. However, as the size of the tree became abnormally large to the extent that it was strange to not recognize it, it naturally became noticeable, and it became a situation where reinforcements were called in from the center, judging that it might be a trick of the opposing camp.

Meanwhile, the tree continued to grow. The height of the tree, which was about tens of meters, quickly exceeded 100 meters and became hundreds of meters, making it difficult to measure the height.

The Druids who left the Nivea territory were watching it near the border as if it was not yet time.

Even diplomats from both countries were dispatched, and after a long meeting, they came to the conclusion that it was not each other’s work, and the tension eased a little, but it did not end there.

It was because no one knew what effect a huge tree that was not normal would have.

At first, I wondered if it was another world tree sapling, so I brought it from the New Continent to the elven chief to confirm it, but the elven chief shook his head.

“It must be his will, but not the World Tree.”

So what is that tree growing so big for? The druids seemed to know the answer, but even after asking Hamakan a few times, he didn’t tell them the answer.

Then one day the huge tree stopped growing. And the green leaves, which were not different from ordinary trees, began to discolor little by little, and then began to take on a golden color.

Rather, at this point, people began to look at the tree with awe. Even just looking at a golden tree hundreds of meters tall has an atmosphere that humans can’t touch.

Word spread about this rare phenomenon, and huge crowds flocked to see the tree. Among them, humans began to climb trees to pluck the golden leaves. Then, as if they had been waiting, the Druid appeared.

The druids began to control the area around the tree. The two countries, which had trouble with people flocking to the already tense border area, were rather happy when the Druid, who had a high reputation these days, took control of the situation.

At all, the commanders of both sides came forward and negotiated with Hamakan to hand over the temporary management of the golden tree to the druids.

Even though the golden tree looked great, it had no practical benefit, but if it looked good to the Druids, it would be of great help to the country.

As the druids began to surround and protect the golden tree, tourists gradually began to decline.

The druids began to perform the seemingly meaningless ritual every day.

The golden tree seemed to remain unchanged for a while, and then a single red flower bloomed at a high place.

Perhaps only I have seen this. Who would want to see a single flower blooming on a tree hundreds of meters away? It is not visible at all from below.

The flowers that bloomed beautifully according to nature’s providence finished their role and withered after a while. And a small fruit appeared in its place.

The small fruit, which was green at first, changed to various colors as it grew. Time passed. It was summer when the fruit was borne, but soon autumn passed and winter came. The fruit grew little by little and steadily even in the cold winter.

And when spring came again and all things that shrank in winter began to come to life, changes began to occur in the fruits.
