My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 160

After the capital invasion (4)

When the delegation finally arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom on the Enamel continent, the different tribes exchanged brief greetings and parted ways to their respective countries.

‘Come to think of it, the Elven Kingdom is also a good place to gather as it is in the center of the continent, a transportation hub.’

Speaking like this, it really seemed like the high elves were a means of transportation.

Still, the name is the leader of a tribe.

“Heh, heh— This is harder than I thought. Even with Lafori-sama’s assistance, it’s this much… How did you cross the sea with this?”

Cecily, who operated the ‘Forest Road’ with La Fori as a practice, made a sound of pain while stealing sweat.

In fact, the others just walked through the woods, but she had to stay next to Lafori all the way back and forth and receive training on it.

When I went to the Ion continent, I learned the theoretical aspects such as how to use energy, and when I returned, I helped him little by little as he led the way, and even completed the actual operation.

And right after entering the continent, Cecily took the initiative and even finished training…

“Wait a minute, I’m like this too, but you kept this for so long. As expected, Lafori-sama is amazing!”

“hahahahaha, this is also something that requires a knack. Cecily-sama will be able to get used to it soon.”

At his consolation, Cecily smiled broadly and opened her mouth with a voice full of emotions as she looked at the world tree towering in the distance.

“Anyway, something feels strange. The first time I came across the sea, I was able to open my eyes, but the second time was Mr. Harris. Do you think there is something jinxed? Who will this be next? Whoops.”

“Oh, it’s my turn next! I’ll make a reservation first!”

Shapiron’s eyes blazed as he seized the opportunity and rushed in.

Even if he hadn’t shown it before, he seemed quite resentful of being overtaken by Harris, whom he considered a rival.

After such a brief conversation, the delegation and the others immediately began their journey to the World Tree.

A few days to walk towards a huge tree that defies perspective.

Harris could sense that his plan to erode culture was only half-success at the changes in music genres heard in the villages he encountered along the way.

‘… that’s great. They absorbed them and created a whole new genre. Should it be considered a success since it made an impact?’

Indeed, it was like a tribe that was serious about music.

Anyway, his purpose was to supply karma in a different way, so this was a satisfactory achievement.

‘finally.’

But now it was a matter of little importance.

After repeated travels, we finally arrived at it.

A gigantic tree that rises majestically as if to support the sky, at the very bottom where the branches of the World Tree touch.

“ah!”

and Harris.

《The World Tree looks at his child》

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

More than ever—the existence of the World Tree was clearly sensed.

The main god was so huge that I couldn’t even feel a piece of it, but the world tree wasn’t that far.

Of course, that was also far-fetched.

The stems soared high into the sky as if reaching the universe, the branches entwined as if to cover the world bore stars instead of fruits, and the roots held onto the planet he stood on.

An overwhelming presence that made me feel awe without even realizing it.

Compared to him, he was just a tiny tick parasitic on a tree.

Wheein-

Harris, who was intimidated by the wonderful image, was able to realize that a red fruit the size of a small fist was approaching in front of his nose.

Along with the colorful spirits that are supporting the branch on which it is hung, and swirling around it.

It was a landscape I had already seen once before.

As he took a deep breath, the fresh air penetrated deep into his lungs.

At that time, he had no choice but to take in this full air while watching Cecily perform the eye-opening ceremony from outside…

Harris grabbed the ‘fruit of the world tree’ and brought it to his lips without hesitation.

crunchy—

‘ah!’

He thought he had chewed it once, but before he knew it, all of the flesh had flowed down his throat.

The high-density energy condensed in the fruit instantly spreads through the body, and all parts from head to toe are affected by it and begin to change.

And the destination of the energy that swept through his whole body was his eyes.

A stabbing pain felt throughout the eyeball.

After that series of processes were over, he could clearly feel why the consciousness of becoming a high elf was said to be ‘opening one’s eyes’.

As if a filter were peeled off, the world took off a layer of its veil.

《The object grows by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the special skill 「Star Watcher」》

《The object achieved enlightenment by fulfilling the conditions. The skill 「Spirit Art」 evolves into the special skill 「Call of Nature」.》

It wasn’t just a matter of widening my horizons.

He was able to perceive his surroundings as if he were looking in the third person, and the world reflected in his eyes was much more dreamy than usual.

Just like the surrounding scenery seen through the ‘road in the forest’… no, much more than that.

‘‘The observer of the stars’. This must have been the core of the various abilities that the high elves have shown so far.’

The ability to move through forest paths beyond space, the ability to bestow blessings on others, and the ability to detect targets through the forest.

All of these transfers were carried out by borrowing the power of the World Tree through this skill.

uhhh—

At the same time, the brief but intense will of the World Tree shook his mind.

It was much clearer than what I felt from the main god, but it was also the same that it could not be defined in a specific language…

Harris could intuitively grasp the meaning.

– I will watch over you. my child

Interest in him, anticipation of something, and some doubts.

After that short will, no further direct messages were conveyed, but it was clear that the spirit vein between him and the World Tree was firmly connected.

Is it because of the aftermath of the rapid change?

He slowly closed his eyes, feeling that his body was draining and his mind was losing consciousness.

“Harris-sama’s eye-opening ceremony is over…”

“Carefully move inside…”

so finally

Harris, who came to this world as an illegitimate child who did not know the world capital, was officially adopted and proudly entered the family register.

“Whoa—.”

The 5th princess of the Azerion Empire, Riley Carte Azerion, a beautiful woman with bright blonde hair and turquoise eyes, was taking a walk in the garden.

It had been over a week since she was kidnapped and imprisoned by the Immortal King.

‘The environment is cleaner than I thought and the treatment is not bad.’

Her living quarters consisted of several small accommodation buildings built around a large garden.

It was quite unexpected for her, who thought of the prison-like environment, and the accommodations given to each of them were spacious enough to live alone.

‘For some reason, it feels like the watchers are considerate of this and that. …at least for me.’

In contrast to what he was doing outside, a man named Andrew, who seemed tired every time he came here, treated the crown prince like a slave…

The woman in charge of her, Lilith, was rather meticulously taking care of her, as if she were her maid.

Of course, there was a sense of distance as he was a supervisor, but compared to the man who longed for Simon all the time, as if he was a stress reliever, he was like an angel.

‘That’s a bit embarrassing. I guess I should consider myself lucky.’

However, the situation she was in was too bleak to blindly like it.

No matter how well she was treated, she was a prisoner without freedom.

During that time, all she did was roam around her allotted living quarters and run into Simon, arguing with her, or meditate and practice her magic in a quiet place alone.

‘It’s a perfect environment for retreating and practicing. I’ve been putting my hands on it with the excuse of being busy, but it wouldn’t be bad to try it seriously again at this point. . . . I have nothing to do.’

It was something she had learned from a young age on the level of culture, but she also had some knowledge about magic.

It was only natural that she was the one who first taught Isea the basics of magic.

‘Of course, it was quickly reversed. Isn’t it a bit too much to learn in less than a month what I’ve been learning for years?’

Even since then, he has not been able to cross the threshold of the beginner level.

The princess, who grumbled thinking of Lee Se-ah, put a small smile on her lips and gently closed her eyes.

The reason why she was able to keep her composure like this now was because she believed in Isea that much.

There is no word on when they can get out of here, and it could be worse than dying at the whim of the Immortal King.

The only support that allows me to endure such a hopeless situation.

‘As long as I’m alive… Sae Ah will definitely come to save me.’

But now there was nothing she could do but wait.

Feeling helpless, Riley squatted and buried her face in her knees.

An emperor who prioritized choosing a successor through competition rather than love for his children.

Her mother, the 4th Empress, who died early leaving only Riley behind, and the empresses and empresses who regard her as a thorn in the eye.

And even the siblings who have been fighting fiercely since childhood to inherit the throne.

‘Sea… older sister.’

This is the family she should be closest to, and her mother, a small viscount on the outskirts, was busy paying attention to her instead of protecting her.

The situation was the same for the servants who served, so she had no choice but to suffer from distrust of the people of this world.

‘···I should have called you older sister. What’s hard about that.’

In such an environment, it was only Lee Se-ah that Riley felt true family love.

To be honest, at first, I had the feeling that I had brought him half as if I was picking up a pet…

uhhh—

The moment she was groaning alone in the corner of the garden.

The ‘invisible door’ in the center of the residence area opened, and Lilith, the princess’s watcher, appeared.

With one hand, he grabbed the man who seemed to have passed out by the back and dragged him.

“Haa— it looks like Andrew is bullying the crown prince again. anyway.”

She glanced in Riley’s direction, and then, without paying attention, immediately summoned her magic and summoned him.

“Possess… No, Sister Lilith! did you call What happened all of a sudden… huh? That, who is that person?”

At her call, Andrew, who had been forcing Simon to clean the dormitory, approached squeamishly.

Contrary to his usual tired appearance, he looked at the man’s attire with an expression of seeing something strange.

“They said it suddenly appeared from the side of the castle. The undead around them tried to attack them, so they fled into the castle. Space travel would have been impossible in this vicinity.”

“sister! Undoubtedly! This man is from the same world as me!”

Items for self-defense, including style clothes and sword-fighting suits that are hard to find in this world.

While listening to her words, he spoke in an excited voice…

‘Same world?’

Riley, still crouched in the corner, eavesdropping awkwardly on their conversation, her ears perked up.

“Ah, I thought so, but it was true. As if the king had guessed in advance, he ordered that Iza also be managed here separately. Anyway, this is also a valuable sample, but once you lock it up here, you won’t be able to escape.”

“hahahaha— This is really, a newcomer out of the blue. Even if it falls, it must be in a place like this…

Andrew started to laugh with a sinister laugh, as if he had a bad idea, but the laugh didn’t last long.

“Oh! Andrew? Now you don’t have to come here anymore. I called you to tell you that from the beginning.”

“Uh, yes? Then what I am doing now is…”

“Whoa—I’m going to be in charge of this job from now on. So you’ll just have to focus on what you’re doing over there.”

“Um, uh, that… Then, business hours are…”

“Since this business is over, it must be entirely up to Olivia now, right?”

His face went pale in an instant, as if he had heard something he hadn’t heard.

“Oh no! Let me work here, sister! I am really going to die like this!”

“It’s an order from the king, so I can’t help it. Oh, and from now on, your lodging is in that area, not this side, so don’t get confused.”

“You mean… the place where the vicious friends are…?”

Andrew desperately begs, and Lilith shakes her head as if she can’t help it.

But all the while, Riley’s curious gaze was fixed on the stunned man.

‘A person from another world… the same as Seah…’

The fact that Andrew, the watcher, was from another world was also surprising, but what caught her attention now was that black-haired man who seemed to have just arrived here.

Come to think of it, his outfit was similar to the situation when she met Lee Se-ah.

Of course, if it was the garden of the aristocratic family of her mother’s family back then, this time it was different in that it was near the home of the Immortal King.

‘Do you think so, that person. No luck. This is the place where I first started.’

Riley, who knew about transfers to the other world through Isea, looked at him with a pitiful expression.

If it wasn’t for her suggestion, Lee Se-ah would have been in trouble, but would it be only here?

“Princess? You’ve probably heard about the situation, but this person will also be staying here from now on.”

“ah!”

While she was lost in her thoughts, Lilith looked down at her and quietly opened her mouth.

“…The princess is also in a position to not know how long she will be here. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a companion besides the prince?”

“…”

“Ah, come to think of it, I heard this man revealed his name first— what did he say?”

Lilith thought for a moment, then, still unconscious, glanced down at the man in her hand.

A black-haired young man of a race very similar to Lee Se-ah, with a soft impression and slightly drooping eyes that could be recognized even though he had lost his mind.

“…Did I say Hesperon? Well, please listen to the person in question for a detailed introduction. Then I’ll have to take this guy to the dorm.”

An Awakener from Earth who has just been transferred to another world.

It was the moment when Hesperon was taken prisoner by the Immortal King.
