Episode 54. Elvengarde (7)
Wow. f*ck you.
The moment everything became dark.
That is exactly what passes through his mind.
“Ignite!”
Percussion!
When I snap my fingers, small sparks fly out in the air.
However, in the empty air where there is nothing to ride, the flame only shines for a short time and then goes out.
“Ignite!”
“······!”
Percussion.
Let’s shine a moment’s light again.
Only then did Mia realize my location and run towards me.
The light fades again and her appearance disappears.
“Ignite!”
Euddeuddeuk!
When sparks fly again.
At that time, the roots of the tree were growing out behind Mia, twisting strangely.
“Get down!”
“Huh!”
Mia approaches me and kneels down.
She immediately draws out her sword with her right hand, and continues to flash a fleeting light with her left hand.
Tree roots that move like stop motion every time.
Instead of running straight at us, they bend right in front of us and gradually surround us.
“Why is the World Tree…?”
“Come to your senses. That’s not the World Tree.”
Crack! Widely! Widely!
Sparks continue to rise, and my magical power is drained endlessly.
There is not enough mana in the atmosphere here, so magic power charging is slow.
Despite this, I can’t stop doing this.
The moment it stops, the light disappears, and when the light disappears, nothing is visible.
It seems like the other person knows that too, so they just purposely take time.
They rarely attack.

“Do you know how to use luminous magic?”
“No…”
The situation is the worst.
The entrance collapsed and was blocked.
When there is no light source and nothing can be seen, the only way to create light is to pour out magical power like this.
‘I have to face Kali here?’
In the meantime, we must fight against Kali, the Four Heavenly Kings.
While protecting Mia.
This is a precious prophecy vending machine that will recite my prophecies in the future, so I can’t let it die.
Deuddeudeudeuk······!
Suddenly, the tree roots that had been circling around us began to surround us, creating a very cozy sphere.
You never know when and where new roots will sprout.
In other words, the moment when all magical energy is wasted and ignition cannot be used.
Mia and I are stabbed to death by skewers flying from all directions.
But that doesn’t mean I can take the first step.
The moment you leave Mia alone and move, the roots that grow out from behind her will pierce her head.
There is hardly an answer in sight.
“How on earth can I do this… Huh?”
The moment I thought I was going to die like this.
A red light spreads everywhere along with a burning sensation in the pocket.
Light shining through my pants.
I was dumbfounded and took out the light source from my pocket.
My black magic stone.
The magic stone in which Ifrit was sealed was emitting enough light to illuminate this entire cavity.
“I’m holding this well.”
“Yes…!”
If there is a light source, the story is different.
After handing over her magic stone to Mia, he fixes her sword and holds it.
At that time, tree roots came straight at us from all directions.
‘Merida style swordsmanship. ‘Herbivory No. 3.’
A herbivorous meal created based on the assumption of one-to-many.
The blade rotates quickly like a saw blade, and intercepts all flying tree roots.
Don’t miss the moment when the attack subsides and launch a slash at the point where the tree roots begin.
Ugh!
Then, the spherical tree root prison that surrounded the surrounding area quickly lost its strength and collapsed.
After that, he remained on alert with his sword for a while, but nothing happened.
This attack seems to have stopped here.
‘Carly isn’t coming?’
The tree roots that filled the wall are not visible.
It looks like they took all the roots in this area and used them to attack me.
It appears that a lot of moisture was consumed in the process, and the soil on the wet wall has dried and cracked.
“Phew.”
“Hey, over there.”
It took a moment to breathe a sigh of relief.
Mia calls out, pulling on my sleeve.
She turned her head to see that Mia’s face had already turned completely white.
“We have to get out quickly!”
Mia shouts urgently.
You immediately realize the reason.
The roots that supported the soil disappear.
If the soil dries out and loses its viscosity…
“Holy sh*t…”
This cavity is collapsing.
Sure enough.
Soon, with a rumbling and vibration, the dirt from the ceiling begins to fall.
“Run!”
“Yes, yes!”
One o’clock is urgent.
I hold Mia’s hand and quickly run towards her entrance.
A huge rock has already fallen where we were standing just now.
“Oh my…!”
Try kicking the blocked entrance.
Try digging it out with her hands.
But the thick earthen wall does not budge.
Meanwhile, dirt was constantly falling from above her head.
In an instant, the body is buried in the dirt.
“Ugh. Come under me. That way, you’ll have room to breathe.”
“And you?”
“One person doesn’t have to live.”
“······!”
Now it’s wrong.
I have no choice but to cover Mia with her body and bear it.
There is no choice but to wait outside for the rescue team to arrive.
“uuu…”
But as the ceiling gradually pours down, the amount of dirt piling up on my back continues to increase.
Not even a minute has passed.
My back is already making a groaning sound, letting me know its limits.
It breaks.
Die.
I can’t hold on any longer than this.
‘Even if I only knew how to use one magic!’
Reach out in front of her and try to imagine a strong wind as Alicia taught you.
In my head, a gust of wind is already coming out of my palm and blowing away the mud wall.
Nothing actually happens in reality.
No, f*ck.
No matter what, this is too much.
What big thing am I hoping for?
Who will make me a great wizard?
They say that both dogs and cows can do basic magic.
You just need to know how to use at least one magic to blow away this mud wall.
It’s time to pour out those resentments inside.
“Huh?”
“······.”
Something touches my chest.
I looked down and saw Mia holding the red glowing magic stone near my heart.
Without even a chance to read what the intention was.
A soft voice echoes in my head.
-I’ll help you just this once-
Quang!
It was as if a long wind had been fired.
The earthen wall shatters in front of my palm and flies away.
And we succeed in coming out of the tunnel by falling forward.
“Haa. Haaa…”
“Huh…”
We fell down, covered in blood, looking at each other and breathing heavily.
I lived.
For now, I am immersed in that sense of relief and can’t think of anything.
“Whoa.”
Boom.
With the final blow, the dead giant tree in the training hall falls down.
How many cars did they hit?
I’m not sure because I stopped counting halfway through.
Half a day has passed since I escaped from the base of the World Tree.
I came out holding my back, which was about to break, and there was a huge crowd of elves.
I left the explanation of what happened to Mia.
I quickly got out and washed my body first at the dorm.
After that, she locked herself in the training room and punched her all the time until she reached this point.
“Eugene.”
“Uh, Al.”
“Could you please stop calling me that…”
“What’s going on?”
“The magic that pushed away the earthen wall earlier. I have found out its identity.”
The door opens and Alicia comes in.
The expression on his face is quite serious.
I decided to listen to her story, leaving Mijeong clinging to her side to lick her fist.
“After analyzing the magic remnants, it turned out to be telekinetic magic.”
“Telekinesis magic? Ifrit, you dude. You use that too.”
I lift up the magic stone that has already become completely red.
The moment that magic was fired, he said it clearly.
He said he would help him just once.
Thanks to you, my life was saved.
So, I said thank you to the magic stone several times.
This bastard has no answer the entire time.
People will feel embarrassed.
“No, the Great Spirit of Fire can only use fire attribute magic. The spirit cannot use telekinetic magic that does not fall into the category of attributes.”
“Really? Then it was written by a priestess?”
“That’s not true either. The magic power used at that time was clearly your magic power.”
“Then…”
“Yes. You have mastered 5th rank non-attribute magic. Telekinesis.”
Alicia’s serious voice tells us that this is no joke.
I am dumbfounded.
I, who can’t even use tier 1 magic, am suddenly awakened to tier 5 magic?
“You knew how to use telekinesis, but you were hiding it from me?”
“No, I just wrote that for the first time.”
“Try it again.”
“That…Wasn’t used again.”
“Yes?”
I’ve tried all kinds of things since I came back.
I want to use that magic one more time.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t do it.
So, of course I thought it was magic used by Ifrit or Mia.
It’s just ridiculous to say that I used magic.
‘It seems certain that Ifrit provided some kind of help.’
At that time, I definitely wanted to blow up this mud wall.
At that moment, Mia placed the magic stone on my chest and the magic was activated.
Under the circumstances, it seems like Ifrit was playing a prank on me…
“Hey, man. Dude. Dude. Dude. Grandfather.”
“What are you doing alone…?”
“No, he keeps ignoring me.”
No matter what you say to the magic stone, it remains silent.
He has been ignoring me ever since I came out of the tunnel.
They said they would only help once, but was that really the end?
What a petty bastard.
“And…The elders call.”
“Are you talking about a request?”
“I think so.”
“Pack your equipment. I’ll accept it right away and enter the dungeon.”
“Huh? I have to go in after I’ve mastered telekinesis. I’ve mastered level 5 magic at best!”
“It must have been used just once by chance. In my topic, what kind of 5th level magic is it? 5Th level magic. I can’t waste an infinite amount of time on magic that may or may not happen again.”
I learned one thing while being locked in that secret room with Mia and almost rummaging through it.
Kali has already taken control of the base of the World Tree.
If we keep going like this and finish taking control of the leaves, it will be too late.
The seeds of the plague will spread throughout the world, causing tens of millions of casualties.
You must enter the dungeon as quickly as possible.
“Mijung. How about you?”
“······Ready. Perfect.”
“That’s right. Let’s go.”
“No! Are you going to enter the dungeon with your fists bleeding profusely?”
“Why? Are you scared? They say you can quit if you’re scared. It’s better for me to monopolize the rewards…”
“Who says I’m not going! I’m going! I’m going!”
Alicia, who continued to tick, followed me with her stomping steps.
It’s not that I can’t understand Alicia’s feelings.
You want to go in completely prepared.
However, if there is one thing I have felt while beating hundreds or thousands of dungeons, it is that there is no such thing as ‘perfection’ in preparation for entering a dungeon.
In the end, as long as you challenge an unknown dungeon, you are bound to come up short no matter how you prepare.
Actually, Kali would be embarrassed to be discovered after hiding so well.
If she hesitates here, she is giving him additional time to prepare his defenses.
It is correct to strike while the surprise effect remains.
Furthermore, when I think about the promise I made with the elf boy, the longer it gets delayed, the more guilt tightens around my neck.
“Cheon Michael Jackson…”
As soon as I come out of the training room, my legs become stiff.
Before we knew it, the elders and Mia had arrived here and were standing in line.
Mia’s body is still covered in dirt, as if she hasn’t even washed in a while.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving the priestess. I know that it is polite to first repay a favor, but… The situation is urgent, so I am shamelessly asking you to do so. It seems that the world is being destroyed by an unknown enemy. “It seems like the tree is being manipulated. Please remove the dungeon located at the root of the World Tree.”
The elders all kneel down on one knee and plead.
What is coming has come.
As I approach Mia with her squirm, she grabs my hand with a worried look on her face.
“Please come back alive.”
“Is this also a request? I think I’ll be charged more for the request.”
“Don’t play around…”
“Okay, of course I have to come back alive. I have to listen to the priestess’ prophecy for the rest of my life. How can I die because it’s such a waste?”
“Tsk…!”
Gently pull her hand and come into close contact with the priestess.
And then he quietly whispers in my ear.
“Only you know. My real name is Eugene.”
“······!”
I got scolded because I felt like I would laugh every time I kept getting called by an assumed name.
Feeling greatly relieved, she takes Mia’s hand away from her and turns around.
Let’s go. Catch the bastard who tried to bury me alive.
Could It have been help through the system?🤔.
