Chapter 178 – Tree Amita Buddha
It was terribly hot in the woods. I didn’t do this at first, but it felt like it was getting hotter and hotter. It was so hot that he took off his coat and walked around in a single shirt.
And after a while, I was able to find the cause. Of course, even after seeing the cause, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
“…why is this bastard here?”
Obviously, Gawain, who should have left for the underworld with Count Holstead’s self-destruction… no, Gawains were burned to death.
It may seem like bullshit, but Gawain, with the same face, body, and magical power, was pinned to a tree with spears attached to it. Yes, like chicken skewers. No, this bastard breathes fire, so it must be hot chicken skewers. They even showed consideration to prevent the fire from spreading by touching the wood.
“I don’t know who it is, but it’s a great skill.”
“First of all, the culprit is… not my brother.”
I expressed my doubts about Rachel’s reaction.
“… What are you talking about?”
“Looking at this corpse, he died from being pierced in one vital point. Besides, looking at this expression, he died instantly without even realizing he was attacked. It’s definitely not my brother’s way. Unlike him, who hacks up the corpse as much as possible, he’s so neat.”
“Certainly… Besides, this spear appears to be made of ash wood, not metal…”
It was then. A sharp wooden arrow shot out of a knot in the tree. The arrow, of course, was aimed at Rachel’s back, and I quickly reached out and caught the arrow. The leather on my hands came off a little, but it would be better than getting stabbed in the back by someone.
“Are you alright…?!”
“I couldn’t feel the presence of a wizard nearby. It must have been an attack from the spirit king of the Bonama tree.”
This dog-like goblin is even giving me a head start… If you see me, I’ll rip out my ears, insert a knife into my body, and then play ‘For Alizee’ with a moaning sound.
Pudeuk!
and broke the wooden arrow. Bonama and Gawain here suffered similar attacks… but why is this bastard still alive? No, aside from that, why are there three of these bastards? Damn did you film it in China? Or did you treat all the different classes, swimsuits, lilies, and alters like some mobile game and filmed them like this?
However, looking at the same clothes and the same appearance, it was not like that again. At that time, I suddenly remembered the magic beast that Damian mentioned. I heard that they eat souls and continue to produce those who ate them and use them as limbs. It seems that the story was true.
“By the way, you said that not only me, but also Melchior-nim and Melissa-sister died…?”
“Yes… All of Werner’s colleagues have gone missing.”
The fact that his whereabouts became unclear in such a chaotic era is as obvious as the ending of the comment saying, “Just hold hands and sleep.” However, when you hear such a story, a question naturally follows. Of course, the target to ask the question was fixed.
“First of all, let’s find your younger siblings quickly.”
Being in such a dangerous forest, you never know what might happen. If you get hurt even a little bit, I will kill the young spirit king of that tree.
Originally, with the Buddha’s heart, I was thinking of saving Namu Amitabha while shouting.
But now, the spirit king of the tree just wants to hit the bastard who doesn’t seem to be with his mother, with a flame. If you reduce this, yes, it becomes Namamitabul.

Airi didn’t like this situation. I was annoyed that I was already separated from Werner, since Camellia was my partner. As they continued walking through the woods, they didn’t really talk, but it was clear that they were uncomfortable with each other.
The only person Airi could talk to was Glaceon, and the person Camellia was at least friendly with was Lorsha, whom she had recently become close with. A heavy air flow flowed between the two, who had been awkward since they hadn’t had a conversation recently. Eventually, Camellia, unable to withstand the weight of the heavy air, opened her mouth.
“The way you treat your child is just like your mother.
“That… can you tell me what kind of person my mother was?”
Even before returning, Airi hadn’t had a good conversation with her mother. It was awkward, and it was awkward. Besides, I felt some kind of distance, so I had never approached him in a friendly way.
“He was a kind person. Should I say that it made me feel uncomfortable? Can a person really be like that? He was a person who never neglected prayers no matter the situation.”
“If you are faithful, what will you gain…”
“Even if you say that, one of the goddess’s apostles took pity on her and handed over part of the power of the Libra.”
Airi quietly recalled the Bible she had read as a child. In the past, the goddess said that she entrusted a piece of her heart to the apostles who followed her so that they could share some of her power.
The Power of Dreams, said to be possessed by the strongest Apostle, and the Power of Sealing, said to be possessed by the weakest Apostle, were typical examples of those powers. In addition to that, the power of time, the power of scale, the power of change, the power of multiplication, the power of prophecy, the power of the dark spirit, the power of the human body, and the power of prophecy.
“Well, my mother is now collapsed. Even if she is loved by God, isn’t that why it is meaningless?”
“Yes, I’m sure that’s true. I don’t know much about religion, but… Gods say you don’t forsake someone you love. Even if it means sacrificing others.”
“That kid… no god?”
“The 1st generation of gods pursued the salvation of all people, the 2nd generation of gods pursued the happiness of the absolute majority, and the 3rd generation pursued a true world, but were destroyed by their successor. And the current god pursues diversity and all the values that other gods pursued. That is why we The god of is benevolent, but also the one who can throw things away most casually.”
Airi remembered the little boy she traded with. It was a god that was hard to imagine having such seriousness, but honestly, he didn’t look like he would throw anything away without blinking an eye.
“But did your mother really sympathize with all her enemies?”
“Yes, I shed tears after killing any evil demon.”
Airi complained inwardly, “What kind of stuffy people are there?”
“Then my mother must be weak?”
“No, your mother is strong. She always plays the role of supporting us in the back row, so it just looks like that. Her magical powers and divine magic skills… honestly, it’s a bit scary.”
“What about my father?”
“At least among the people I know, he’s the strongest. Or should I say tied for first place…”
If you ask Werner, most of the answers come back as short answers, so the other colleagues evaluate her father and mother as Airi, who is nothing but amazing. Airi knew about Zeke’s strength, but it was surprising that a monster comparable to Zeke existed.
“But what do you think of them?”
“Honestly, I was surprised that she suddenly came to me as my daughter. There is no sense of reality… But it’s pitiful to hear that she grew up without parents. So I just gave her away for a while.”
It was the same with Airi. At least Werner was by her side, but she only felt sorry for the children who lost their parents at a young age and grew up with an indifferent older brother. There were no other emotions besides that.
“Well, if what those kids are saying is true, I’m just doing my best to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

The Black Round Table had already penetrated deep into the forest. Of course, most of them were scattered by the spirit king of the tree.
Lancelot, who was leading the group, asked a woman in a black robe.
“So, did you find a way to break through the trivial trick of the Spirit King?”
“Yes, if you go this way, you will come to the place where the spirit king of the trees resides. No matter how tricked you are, you will eventually earn time.”
“Hmm…”
“Are you reluctant to kill an old friend?”
“… If you say more, I will cut you. And for a purpose… I just cut and move on.”
“This is really ruthless. You have a daughter in this forest? Of course I have one too.”
Lancelot seemed annoyed and made no reply. But at that moment, the woman wearing the robe felt something.
“What kind of Sura…”
“Why?”
“The troops brought in in preparation for emergencies and the lower cadres are literally being torn apart. Even the lower cadres have their own skills, but torturing and killing them so brutally… Do they have a grudge against us?”
“Where are the people who have a grudge against us?”
“That’s true. But this… a man completely mad about fighting. I think it’s a little dangerous.”
The woman wearing a robe thought for a moment and then made a decision.
“The priority is to remove the uneasy elements that threaten the plan rather than the tree spirit king.”
“That means…”
“Yes, I will rule out that person first.”
