[Now who really sees you as a human being?]
As I watched the mist slowly emanating from my body, the words Sbangali spoke were a mixture of admiration and astonishment.
I thought that the battle had begun just by feeling Yuno’s energy and hostility, something like the foggy mist that Venus had wrapped around me was flowing out of my body.
I tilted my head while checking the effect of the power obtained by Venus in the skill window.
“Wait, if other people besides me are in the fog, aren’t they affected by the barrier?”
[I don’t know what will happen to other people.]
[If you don’t know, you should try it.]
With those words, Minerva quickly escaped from the shadows.
In one hand, he was holding the Eonwoldo that I had given him.
“Hmm… .”
She went out of the fog and came back in repeatedly, nodding her head.
“Let me explain one thing first. In essence, the original woman is treated as your subordinate and family member. Because it was originally a shadow attached to you that the original woman had settled in.”
Wearing only a thin dress, she wrapped her bare white arms with her hands to the extent that it was not cold enough to make everyone who saw it shiver.
“Maybe that’s why now, unlike others, she is not receiving much of the barrier effect.”
She put the sword she was holding upside down, and then folded her arms.
“It was a lot more than I expected. Perhaps because you have the power to resist the energy of the Seven Evil Orders, that power was naturally transmitted to you… .”
She snorted.
“But it’s so cold… .”
Shaking her body curled up, she sniffled again.
“Damn, why do you feel the cold… ? Is this because of Yuno’s barrier? ?”
“Minerva, are you stupid?”
He immediately took off the coat he was wearing and put it over her.
Minerva looked at me, trembling, as if he didn’t like it.
“You idiot, aren’t you talking too harshly, dear? Does this Minerva look so funny?”
“Even if I say things like that with a runny nose, I’m not afraid at all. Now, lock the front properly… .”
He almost took off his earplugs for a moment, but instead he took off the glove he was wearing and put it on her hand.
She still muttered to me with a fat voice.
“Hug and listen.”
“What?”
“Look, your feet are cold. You might get caught in frostbite and fall.”
With those words, Minerva raised her feet, which had been buried in the snow.
By the time he woke up to the recollection of what had happened in the past, he had already flashed her and lifted her up.
“Well. Feel so good.”
Minerva’s tail fluttered and swayed in mid-air.
Sbangali, who was watching this, murmured as if it was ridiculous.
[I dare you to come back into the shadows… .]
“Hmm, hmm! Then don’t go on explaining.”
Minerva cleared her throat and continued the story.
“First of all, let’s talk about the conclusion. If you are in this fog, some protection against the barrier has been given even to the original woman. Perhaps that blessing will be given to the rest of the party besides the original woman.”
“Hmm,” she said, slurping out another loud, empty cough.
“The problem is that the range of this fog is too narrow. It seems difficult for everyone in your party to come in, let alone fight to your heart’s content.”
“Well… .”
“The speed at which it spreads is not cool at all. Can’t this be done at your own will?”
“I don’t know if it’s because I just got it… Minerva As you said, I don’t think it has anything to do with my will.”
Minerva muttered as if it was a waste.
“It’s a power I’ve gained with a lot of effort, but it’s a waste. If used well, it will be especially useful in situations like the one we are currently using… .”
[Let the world tree light up.]
Sbangali opened her mouth in a hoarse voice.
“What?”
[Let the world tree light up.]
The boy still began to explain in a hoarse voice.
[As the World Capital is, after all, a plant, I know that it is impossible to grow in such a barren place. But if it’s in your mist, it will sprout enough.]
“And then?”
[Did you forget to brag to us that you gained new strength by talking to the World Tree?]
Sbengali finished his explanation calmly, even though he grumbled.
[What about eroding the surrounding land and turning it into your own territory? You already have five of the Seven Evil species. It sounds like you can exercise your power by interfering with Yuno’s realm.]
“… Indeed, there was such a thing.”
Minerva nodded.
“The most important thing in maintaining a barrier is circulation and perfection. If you lose part of your realm, you lose the two most important things. Of course, as it is the boundary that Yuno has spread, even if it is not destroyed, it will definitely be greatly disturbed.”
[Are you sure you didn’t say that the last power a woman of the World Tree will gain is so threatening? However, due to the barren environment here as well as Yuno’s barrier, it is impossible to create a World Tree. If so, wouldn’t it be enough for the woman of the World Tree to plant her own World Tree again on the land you set as your territory? If that happens, the realm will definitely expand even more, and the place where you can fight comfortably will also expand.]
“There must be a world tree attached to that woman, isn’t it? It would certainly be of great help if we light a world tree here.”
It was definitely worth a try.
Following their advice, I carefully planted a branch of the world tree on my right arm.
“It was also successful.”
“No, not yet.”
I immediately turned it into a seed, dropped it right below me, on the snowy ground, and ordered it to take root.
“… … .”
“… … .”
[…] … .]
The three of us looked silently at the place where the seeds were planted.
There was no response even after a considerable amount of time had passed, so I was about to give up.
[Come out.]
It was as Sbangali said.
I wondered if a small bud would sprout, and it immediately procrastinated and grew in size.
It was said that if it succeeded in planting the seeds once, more is possible.
I immediately used the power of the last awakened World Tree, energizing the blooming World Tree.
― You can take root in your source itself and make the whole area your territory and part of it and place it under your power.
[Huh… .]
Svengali simply admired, and Minerva looked around as if surprised.
Surprisingly, so was I.
The accumulated snow melted in an instant, and a strange mist began to spread around the place where the seeds were planted.
In the subsequent melted ground, a few small stone slabs and pillars came up and the change stopped.
“This is true.”
Minerva jumped and jumped out of my arms.
She muttered quietly as she wags her tail.
“… I’m sure this is your realm. I can feel the energy build up even though I haven’t done anything. If your true woman is like this, who is no different from your family… You must be feeling great power too, right?”
Saying that, Minerva’s tail was being swung around with a ferocious force.
He seemed to be very happy no matter who he was.
[Oh oh… !]
Sbengali was also emitting something like an exalted moan.
He was so excited that his emotions were transmitted to me through his right arm.
“… … .”
But I didn’t feel anything.
I thought about something strange, so I checked the condition several times, but the only thing that changed was that the stuffiness in my stomach had subsided and my strangely heavy head became lighter.
‘what.’
Is it a skill that buffs people around me, not me?
If you think about it, Yeeun Lee also had the unique ability of the world tree to boost the power of those around her, not herself.
Is it that kind of ability?
“Well!”
Then Minerva was startled and immediately returned to my shadow.
I wondered why, and felt something strange in the distance, and I felt the party approaching.
[Anyway, it would be better to prepare quickly, dear.]
After taking a deep breath, Minerva left such advice.
It was as she said.
Because they weren’t the only ones approaching this place.
* * *
– Huh, huh… uh… .
The gigantic golem, which was constantly moving its mouth with a rattling sound, suddenly smashed down what it was holding in its hand with all its might.
The body of the spirit, once called the Blacksmith of Yado, which had lost its head and had even been eaten by parts of its body, spread helplessly.
Soon, Yuno, who was silently watching as it became a mere embers and faded away, muttered quietly.
— … Now, the rest… thing. me… is it only
Things like Margo and Sbengali were pretty good.
The annoying Milited didn’t care either.
What really surprised him, though, was that Minerva and Venus had been defeated, and that they were each placed in a position comparable to that of their own families, and that they met their perfect death.
Even if you don’t want to admit it, you, Minerva, and Juno.
These three have similar powers and have been tied together for an uncountable number of years.
So, even though he sincerely wanted the other person to die, he felt an overwhelming emptiness that he was the only one left.
– flaw… .
Minerva has fallen, Venus is dead, and he himself is about to die.
What was even more absurd was that everyone was attacked by only one person, an ordinary human being.
– ah… you. common… One, humans… not. go… .
A man who is not of this world.
A woman who was obsessed with Ariman who was next to him.
– Different. Guys, notice… Chaeji, can’t you? I see… .
Could know.
It was known because he was the one who had the best ability to sense along with Sbangali.
What kind of trick did Ariman do to the two of them, what kind of smell they smell, and what will happen to them in the end.
Knowing this, he meekly accepted Ariman’s proposal.
– That’s right… even hit
Hopefully it will be like this
He flinched, thinking that even if the same seven evil class was his opponent, he wouldn’t have been so cornered.
– Huh, uh.
Now, the golem, whose body is only made of ice and glaciers, groaned and groaned.
Even though he was imprisoned for 300 years, the only thing he could do was spread a barrier to protect himself and heal the wounds he suffered.
I thought I would be able to buy some time due to the barrier, but I soon realized that I couldn’t even expect that from the huge energy I could feel from afar.
In the end, the only option left was to disappear, just like the previous two.
– Yoo, Jihyeok… .
The only person who remembered his name.
He was the one who drove him like this, and he was a very hateful being.
However… .
– Ahriman, bastard.
If I had to pick the person I hated the most, only Ariman came to mind.
After all, it was because he was the culprit behind all of this.
– Yes, according to his will. very. let it go… can’t put it
He slowly raised his right arm.
Then he muttered again, thrusting his arm deep into where his nucleus was.
― Yes, his plan. … all. sew, there
From Margot to Svengalli, Minerva, Milited and Venus.
The power of the five Seven Evil Species was concentrated in just one human.
If it stays like this, the human will kill himself and absorb his power.
― All, of the Seven Evils… it’s energetic
At the end of it was Ariman.
Why?
I couldn’t even guess what the reason was.
But at least he could tell that he wanted to die after losing his power to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
I couldn’t leave it like that.
Even to get revenge on them both.
And even in order to fulfill their duty as the Seven Evil sects.
– mother… your child… Now… .
With those words, Yuno gave strength to his right hand and shattered what he was holding.
Eventually, Yuno’s body, whose core had been shattered, began to disintegrate, and that body began to scatter in dust.
It was the death of the sixth Seven Evils.
