139 – Elves and Dark Elves – 4
Isaac is a flirt. It is not simply a matter of character.
A man destined to have an affair since birth, that was Isaac.
-My husband, Isaac, was a playboy like no other in history. When I was 15, I had an orgy party with three 50-year-old elves who had just become adults. There were close to 100 female elves who had to manage the fishery.
“Crazy…”
-After all, after 3 years of marriage, he started having an affair with a woman again. And died on behalf of me
Freesia was sad.
I don’t know if that’s because Isaac cheated on her, or because Isaac died in his place.
Maybe it’s both.
-…..Sorry. I thought of the old days for a moment and said something useless.
“No. You can do more.”
– No, this is a family problem. You don’t need to know. All you have to do is find the body of Isaac the Fool and bring it to me.
At that moment, the branches of the World Tree that were protecting the walls of the sanctuary moved, revealing the path hidden within the branches.
The road was built in the form of stairs, and was structured so that you could go down underground.
“…Is that?”
-Izaak’s corpse is located deep underground in the place where the World Tree was planted, right under it. I tried to find it using the roots, but I can’t perfectly control the world tree with my soul. If you do it wrong, you can crush Isaac’s body.
“…..”
-So, come find me yourself. Please.
Obviously this wasn’t what I was hoping for.
Still, I couldn’t be mean. Because I felt sincerity in Freesia’s request.
She was really hoping to find Isaac’s body.
-I don’t know about other things about my husband, but he has one outstanding appearance. Even if it’s a corpse, I’d like to keep it by my side, maybe a corpse would be better…
“……”
I got goosebumps at Freesia’s words for a moment, but I didn’t refute it because I agreed.
Isaac did think that he might be better off dead than alive.
-But will it really be okay? You’re here to get a reward, not to do a favor…
“It’s okay.”
-…Even if you’re okay, my heart isn’t okay…Yes, if you do my favor, I’ll give you a worthy reward. How is it?
“…A prize?”
From noble mtl dot com
I didn’t even want an award. I sincerely wanted Freesia to be happy, and although it was her spirit world, it was just an act of her guilt for abandoning her and leaving her.
“Okay…”
-I hate people who refuse favors.
“…Thank you very much.”
-That’s right.
For the first time, I felt the emotion of ‘joy’ in Freesia’s voice.
You really are still a simple woman.
Of course, that’s the charm of Freesia, so…
-If you come to find my husband’s body… I will give you one of my magic items besides the holy relic.
“A magic item… you mean?”
-Yes, it may seem a bit lacking compared to the holy relics, but it is good enough by the standards of the human world.
“…If you give it to me, I will be grateful.”
-Okay, then head to the basement now. The time axis here will be different from the time axis of the real world.
“Okay.”
Coming to think of it, the time axis in this space is different from reality. According to Emilia, no matter how fast she goes, she won’t go over 100 times, so if you go quickly, there won’t be any big problems.
“Then I’ll be back, Freesia.”
-I hope you have a good trip.
That’s how I left.
Left alone in her sanctuary, Freesia’s spirit murmured quietly.
-…But why do you use honorifics and not attach honorifics..?

“…It looks like it’s underground…But the air isn’t that stuffy.”
About 10 minutes had passed since I headed down the stairs to the basement.
Unexpectedly, the road was long, and it took about two more minutes to reach the end of the stairs.
‘….Is it similar to the labyrinth of the sun?’
The roots of the World Tree were not visible because it was so deep underground.
Also, the structure itself was not in the form of a large room, but it seemed to be a maze structure with many paths like the maze of the sun under Eos, the capital of the empire.
“This is annoying, but…”
Freesia told me to just bring it, so she thought, of course, that she would be right there if she went down underground, but it didn’t seem as easy as I thought.
If this maze were as huge as the maze of the sun…
‘If I do it wrong, I might not be able to make it on time.’
You have to find it within 1 hour and 30 minutes at the latest. The time axis of the sanctuary said that the maximum speed was 100 in reality.
Of course, that’s the case when you’re out of luck, but assuming the worst, there’s nothing wrong with it.
“[Guidance of Enagonios].”
My vision started to turn red and green as I activated my pathfinding-type unique ability.
The red side is the road not to go, and the blue side is the road to go.
‘Move as quickly as possible.’
Thanks to the system, with legs that are hundreds of times faster than normal humans, he began to stir the maze at breakneck speed.
Do you see blue in your eyes? If so, I went there without any hesitation.
I saw ghost-like monsters with dark colors in the middle, but they ran away on their own after lightly pouring mana.
Twenty minutes later.
I have reached the final position pointed out by [Guidance of Enagonios].
But…
“What is this…”
There is a door.
That’s a nasty big door.
Beasts, the Hyperion Empire, the Elves, and even the Lord’s throne room in the spirit world didn’t have such a large door.
A ‘gate’ of tremendous majesty that seems to lightly pass approximately 300m in length and width.
[The Guidance of Enagonios] Clearly has this passage as its final goal.
That must mean Isaac’s body is inside this door.
‘Can I open this anyway?’
At a glance, it looks like it’s made of heavy, hard ore… Can I really open this door?
I was already hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary adult man, but apart from that, this door was too big.
At least 10,000 people have to stick together to be pushed back even a little bit, but it would be virtually impossible for me to open the door by myself.
In that case…
“[Psychokinesis].”
I need to use telekinesis.
Koo-gu-gu-gu-!
As soon as [Psychokinesis] Was activated, the large door that seemed like it would not budge vibrated violently.
If I used about half of my mana as a barrel, I could move about a small mountain with [Psychokinesis].
It is true that the door in front of me is abnormally large, but compared to the mountain, it is still quite small. In fact, the mana I have currently consumed is only about a quarter.
“…..What the f*ck.”
After the big door opened, I couldn’t hide my surprise when I checked inside.
That’s right, inside the door…
“…A meadow?”
Yes.
Inside the large door was a space twice as large as a football pitch.
It must be normal since no light or plants can grow because it is underground, but the space inside the door seems to have been able to grow light and plants like the ground thanks to the luminous stones embedded in the walls and ceiling.
‘What kind of space is this in the basement…’
I was worried that there might be a trap hidden, but this space was safe when I saw [Enagonios’ Guidance].
Turning…Tumbling…
‘…It’s just a weed. A weed that has no effect.’
The short grasses planted in the meadow were all common weeds and seemed to have no special abilities.
It’s underground right under the world tree of great color, but it’s so ordinary… It’s a bit strange in its own way.
“…I found it.”
As I walked aimlessly toward the center of the meadow, I soon saw a figure that looked like a human.
If there was one problem, it was that the figure that caught my eye was not one.
‘…Is there another corpse?’
There are two people.
If one is Isaac’s corpse, then the other is…
“Ha… Crazy.”
As I got closer, I could see the identity of the person I saw from afar.
One was, of course, Isaac, and the other was someone very familiar to me.
“… Phrygia’s body was here as well.”
The corpse of Isaac boasts unchanging beauty even after many years have passed.
A beautiful woman, Freesia, closing her eyes while hugging Isaac’s corpse.
Is it because of the racial characteristics of elves or because they are special? It must have been a long time since they became corpses, but they were preserved in perfect condition as if they had just died.
That broke my heart even more.
It would have been better if it was a white bone, if it hadn’t been possible to recognize its shape after a long time.
“… Phrygia, you loved Isaac even when she gave up her own body…”
Unlike the normal Isaac’s corpse, Freesia’s corpse had her feet connected to a tree trunk.
The identity of the tree is probably the World Tree, and it seems that only Freesia’s soul was moved into the World Tree through this stem.
“..What an unlucky tree.”
Pud Deuk-!
I cut off the stem of the World Tree connected to Phrygia’s feet, and I picked up her corpse.
It was cold. Of course it’s a corpse.
“Haa…That sounds like sh*t.”
In the spirit world, Freesia must have been warm…
In reality, Freesia was so cold that she felt cold.
Her clear reason was forcing her to forget her in her mind, but my instincts were denying it.
“[Psychokinesis].”
It was decided to move Isaac’s body using telekinesis.
Not only did I not want to touch the playboy’s corpse, but also because Freesia’s corpse was more important to me.
By the way…
‘Why did you tell me to only take Isaac’s corpse?’
The bodies of Isaac and Freesia were together.
Your Phrygia soul knows that well.
However, all she asked for was to bring only the ‘corpse of Isaac’.
In other words, Freesia must mean that she doesn’t care much about her own corpse.
“….It’s really the same.”
A look like her.
That made me even more angry.
I couldn’t understand why he was angry.
To think that I was angry with her, I thought it was contradictory to see myself wanting Freesia to be happy and being angry at the same time.
‘…Maybe I just want Freesia to find true happiness.’
Her hair is messed up.
At the same time, her chest throbbed.
This is a little… I think I need to clear my mind.
“f*ck..”
I don’t like to listen to music.
For some reason, I wanted to listen to the song for now.
“…Is this why the collection of breakup songs has so many views on xtube?”
It was me who had another realization.
