56 Fairy Forest (3)
The outer part of the border between the Empire and the Suinhae.
“ It’s been a while.”
Looking at a temple hidden in a basin on the top of the mountain, the warrior Claire murmured in a low voice.
light, nature, sea, etc.
There are many attributes and concepts in the world, and there are also deities corresponding to them.
Therefore, the gods of fate also existed, and the temple in front of her right now was the only temple in this world dedicated to the gods of fate.
“ From here on, I will go alone.”
After saying that to the other party, Claire walks towards the temple.
The reason she had to stop by before heading to Suinhae was because of one unanswered question.
Due to the relationship before the return, Claire had the right to ask anything in the Temple of Destiny, and she was planning to use that right this time.
“ Welcome, warrior.”
Did he even know he was coming?
As soon as Claire entered the temple, a woman who could only see her mouth was greeted by a white robe covering her body.
It was the priest who worshiped the gods of fate.
The atmosphere of the temple, where there was no feeling of popularity except for those priests, was quite bizarre, but Claire approached the priest with a familiar face.
Because he knew that there was always only one priest who worshiped the gods of fate.
‘ The previous priest was the Seventh Heaven, Iowa Teutikana.’
Retired and disconnected from the gods, she has the ability to be called a ‘sage who reads fate’, so the ability of an active priest in front of her will be superior to that.
I’m sure Claire will be able to give her the answer she wants.
“ What are you here to ask?”
A priest who accurately picks up the task as if he did not disappoint such a hero.
“ Zion Agnes.”
Immediately a name came out of Claire’s mouth.
“ I want to know about his identity.”
With him, Claire remembered the conversation she had with Shion at the border.
‘ I said that the power of the Eternal Age was right.’
However, he said that he had never met the Eternal One.
‘ Then, it means that he accidentally discovered the power of the Eternal Age hidden within the imperial castle and learned it himself… … .’
it didn’t make sense
Because a person who had lived for nearly 20 years without any talent could not become so strong in a year and a few months.
However, there was no possibility that he had been hiding his power before then.
‘ If that were the case, I wouldn’t have died so easily before returning… … .’
So no matter how much I thought about it, confusion was only aggravating.
at that time,
“ Zion Agnes did not lie. It’s all obvious.”
A quiet voice came out of the priest’s mouth, who was listening to Claire.
“ Also, the answer you want is already available. But you, who dismissed it as impossible, are just missing the answer.”
“ What… … .”
Before Claire opened her mouth, the priest asked again.
“ Do you remember the information about the Eternal Eternal Festival that was recorded in the hidden history before the return?”
“ Yes.”
“ Then you will also remember the record of that power.”
“ I do, but what does that have to do with this now… … !”
Claire, who had been talking up to that point, stopped talking.
Her pupils begin to tremble like crazy as she recalls a passage from him with him.
“ From the past to the present. The power of the Eternal Age has never been passed on to anyone.”
The priest slowly opened his mouth as if he had read Claire’s thoughts.
“ No, it is a force that cannot be continued from the beginning.”
“ Maybe… … no way… … .”
“ The gods of this world have judged.”
The priest of fate speaks with an emotionless voice towards the hero who utters a blank voice as if he can’t believe it.
“ Hero, Claire Flosimar. You can’t save the world just by bringing you back. For that, the fate of the world’s doom and the enemies that followed it were too powerful.”
Contrary to the voice, the priest’s eyes shone with an unknown light.
“ So the gods took one more measure. No matter what situation or hardship it encounters, it goes beyond breaking through it and is capable of destroying itself by bringing an existence outside the norm into the world.”
Out of specification or irregular.
There was only one person who was so called even by the gods in the past, present, and future of this world.
“ Isn’t there a reason why other beings can’t appear in the yard where the returner has already appeared?”
The priest of fate asked with a strange smile at the stiffened warrior.
* * *
The streets of Elbrium, the capital of the fairy forest.
A rare sight was unfolding there.
Agnes’ immediate imperial family, especially Shion and Diena, who are known to not have a good relationship.
The two were walking side by side on the street.
Even with his robe fully covered so that his identity would not be revealed.
“ Ha… … .”
One of them, Diena, sighed as she looked at the back of Shion, who was ahead of her.
‘ Where the hell are you going?’
With that thought, a conversation from a while ago that created this situation began to flash in her mind.
‘ What a nonsense!!’
These were the words that Diena immediately stood up and shouted at Shion’s words that she wanted all the fairy forests.
Despite her violent reaction, Shion calmly opened her mouth while still holding the teacup.
‘ Why do you think it doesn’t make sense? If I didn’t solve it anyway, wouldn’t the fairy forest collapse?’
Shion spoke coldly to Diena, who could not refute those words.
‘ And this is the last chance I give you.’
‘A chance?’
‘ Soon I will ascend to the throne. You know that, right?’
‘… … .’
‘ And the first thing I’m going to do is clean up the interior. You can’t fight a war if the inside isn’t cleared up. Of course, the theorem also includes fairy forests.’
The arc drawn on Shion’s lips.
‘ Then I wouldn’t say something like this.’
Diana felt that laugh was creepy.
After the heavy silence that followed and the exchange of glances between the other leaves,
‘ I see.’
The words that came out of Diena’s mouth were close to acceptance.
‘ We can’t decide right away because we need to hear the whole opinion, but we’ll take it seriously.’
Actually, there was no other way.
If he refused here, the fairy forest could have collapsed before Shion became emperor.
‘ However, if you really heal the World Tree perfectly.’
Shion got up from her seat as if that was enough, and immediately began to move to get things done, and Diena followed her with the words that she would see how she solves it.
It was said that it had to move secretly, with only a very small number of attendants.
However, for the 30 minutes already passed, Diena was increasingly dissatisfied with Shion’s behavior of just walking without saying a word.
Even the two people who looked like Zion’s party didn’t seem to know where they were headed.
“ No, at least telling me where I’m going… … .”
After all, it was the time when Diena was about to complain directly to Zion, who was leading the way.
“ It has arrived.”
Zion stopped walking.
With him, a young question in Diena’s eyes.
“ Why… … .”
It must be so, because Zion and the place where she is now are in the middle of ‘Green Square’, which can be said to be the center of Elbrium.
“ Are you ready?”
“ What are you suddenly ready for? … .”
It was at that moment that the young doubts in the eyes of Diena and others in the eyes of Shion asking, pounding the floor with her toes, were growing stronger.
“ Ready to hunt.”
blah blah!
With those words, Shion made a powerful advance to the floor.
Gold like a spider’s web spreading around Zion’s feet.
It was the moment when the fairies around him turned to the side where Zion was at the unconventional action.
Kwajijijik!
The floor collapsed with a roar, and Zion, Diena, and the other party on them began to fall.
“ Ahhh!”
Was it empty from the beginning?
Their new model, which continues to fall without clogging with the screams of Selfia.
How much would it have gone down like that?
Tadat!
As soon as my feet finally hit the floor,
“ Hey, this one!!!”
A startled voice erupted from Diana’s mouth.
I wasn’t surprised that there was such a large underground space in the middle of Elbrium.
The sight you see now.
The sight was making her astonished.
aah!
Did you even come to the magic station?

Monster.
A large number of demons filled Diena’s field of vision to the extent that it filled the entire underground space that had no end in sight.
“ How could such a number of monsters be in the middle of Elbrium… … !”
And in the center of those monsters, a huge tree stands tall.
Although the appearance of the tree looked similar to the World Tree, it was surrounded by dark red blood vessels and was beating, creating a very bizarre feeling.
The moment Diana saw the tree, she knew that it was the culprit of everything that is happening in the fairy forest right now.
It was because I could clearly feel the spirit power of the Spirit King level from that tree, which I had never felt in nearly 40 years.
“ Ah… … .”
When the shocking facts that hit one after another like waves, Diana is not able to come to her senses properly,
“ Kyahahahahaha!”
Liusina, who was next to Zion, burst out in a flash and was the first to jump out.
Cyrillic!
A creepy bloody energy bursting out of her body with a sound as if she was scratching a blackboard!
“ How the hell are you here? … !”
Did you not even dream that this place would be discovered?
“ No, stop it! We must prevent them from approaching the Demon Beast!”
Just like Diena, the demons, who had a bewildered expression on their faces, came to their senses and began to respond to the witch’s attack.
However,
Quad Duck!
They alone could not stop Riusina, who was already over a thousand years old and approaching the end.
“ aah!”
The monsters that start to be pushed back by the secondary attack of the blood pouring out in all directions and the handshakes pouring out of it.
In addition, Diena’s attendants, who escaped the shock and joined the battle one by one, began to lean more rapidly.
“… … What the hell is this?”
Diena, who regained her composure while watching the scene, asked with a trembling voice to Shion, who was standing next to her.
“ I’m asking because you already know. Do you want to get confirmation?”
After replying to her, Shion glanced over the battlefield that was being organized quickly, and then turned to look at the black tree that was beating ominously in the middle of the common room.
‘ Now is the time to come out slowly.’
The group of heroes who first discovered that tree in the chronicle escaped from the underground cavity as if to escape without being able to get rid of the magic tree.
It was not because of the demons protecting the commons, the reason why the group of heroes at that time, who had nothing to do with power because it was in the middle and late part of the chronicle, did not succeed in subjugating the Demon Tree at once.
‘ That magic coefficient.’
It was because of that magic coefficient’s own defense system.
Did Zion’s thoughts like that become a signal?
aah!
The demonic tree rising in the middle of the cavity blew out a terrible sound that sounded like a human scream.
With him, the pulsating blood vessels that wrapped around his body were torn, and a liquid mixed with magic and contaminated spirits began to pour down.
and,
Ded Ded Dude!
A gigantic blood dragon that slowly begins to rise from the blood of the Demon Beast that has dyed the floor red.
The fairies who stopped fighting regardless of their will due to the energy beyond imagination that burst out from it began to look at the blood dragon and look tired.
“ You have to get out of here right now!”
Diana, who had the same expression as those fairies, hurriedly shouted to Shion.
“ That’s something we can’t deal with!”
Of course she knew.
How great is their power here now.
Still, there was a reason for saying this.
The spirit power felt from that blood dragon.
The level of such spirit power was definitely higher than that of the royal family.
“ It’s like a spirit king!”
The royal spirit, or the king of spirits, literally meant nature itself.
Therefore, if they were not of the same royal rank or were mortal, they could not do any damage at all, regardless of their power.
“ So come on… … !”
“ No, you don’t have to.”
But Shion shook his head.
“ There’s a guy like that here too.”
The moment an arc is drawn on Shion’s mouth,
Slurry!
A cool wind that can only be felt in the north began to blow with Diena’s face stained with doubt.
