120 – World Tree – 10
Tap. Then it will open
The day I stopped walking after coveting only pizza at Yeongseok’s invitation. It was something I learned in church.
Youngseok, they say that if you knock, it will open!
I knocked on the protective shield with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw, but only my hand hurt.
What is it? I still remember that the church I went to wasn’t a pseudo.
In terms of this world, is it because he is the god of the other world?
When an attempt to borrow the power of religion failed, frustration took over.
I went to the bathroom at a large mart I entered aiming for a closing sale, and when I came out, the business hours ended and I felt trapped inside.
It wasn’t just the feeling that was similar, I could feel the presence of someone coming to meet me here as well.
Twenty Twenty.
Not a security guard running out of a house when the doors are all locked but someone is there, but a creeper with a terrifying appearance.
– Wedge!
I tried to extend my life by avoiding flying vines as much as possible.
– Tongue.
A situation in which there is no further retreat as it is blocked by a protective barrier.
I could see the movement of not leaving even the slightest chance by taking the twenty-twenty seat.
– Tung! Empty!
“Wait…! It’s about to open!”
“Brother!”
On the other side of the shield, Talia and the saintess are trying hard to break it down, but unlike the hero, they can’t even leave a scratch.
“If only I had a bow at a time like this…”
Behind him, the Queen was seen biting her lip and stamping her feet.
And far below that.
Hearing the voices of the party members coming from above, the hero intuited that something had happened to the porter.
In the end, she chose to cut down her demon tree.
“Slash!”
Although he was a warrior who vigorously wielded a holy sword that absorbed mana.
– Pounding.
Mana was scattered from the inside with a small sense of repulsion felt from the holy sword.
‘This has never happened before, so why now… !’
The bewildered hero injected mana once again, but somehow her holy sword did not accept her mana and pushed her away as if rejecting her decision.
That time when I finally gave up on using my skills and rushed to cut down the demon tree myself.
– Piing!
Something struck the shield and shot through, leaving a hole the size of his fist.
‘What just happened… ?’
While the hero stared blankly at the scene, the porter was thinking the same thing.
‘What was that?’
-Kwaguawang!
Explosive sound immediately after questioning.
At the same time, the shield and vines began to tear apart as if they were being sucked into one place.
– Jjiing.
I momentarily plugged my ears at the ensuing explosion, but I felt my hearing paralyzed.
As she removed her hand from her ear, she saw Thalia approaching and muttering something.
‘From the ears…. Blood i… ?’
Swoop.
When I touched it once, there was blood on my hand.
“What is this…”
I was dumbfounded, but I remembered that we had to fight before the new vines sprouted.
“Miss Thalia! Illness!”
Because of her deafness, it was questionable whether I was speaking properly, but Talia, fortunately, recognized her and handed her the bottle. As soon as she received her bottle, she tightened the stopper.
– Pp.
A stopper pulled out with a cheerful sound.
I just ran to the hole where Sergina had been pulled out.
-Shuuk!
Then, as if in a last-ditch effort, several vines rapidly regenerated and rushed at me.
“Prison!”
The saintess and Talia did their best to block it, but she didn’t care whether she sensed that she was in danger or not, and poured all the demonic water on me.
– Wooddeuk.
Shortly thereafter, a crushing sound came from somewhere in the body.
“Keugh…!”
I realized that the pain that followed was holding me back, and soon another vine came flying and wrapped around my neck.
“Cheer!”
– Kyuwoo!
From the side, Kyadol tried biting off the vine with his small mouth, but it didn’t seem like much damage.
“Turn it off…”
In her fading consciousness, she saw the empty space Sergina had escaped from.
Poof.
Tossed the spring water in her hand towards it.
‘Please enter… ! Please….’
The time when I couldn’t confirm that the spring water was entering and my vision picks up and turns off like a TV turns off.
“…!”
I heard voices from somewhere and felt my body free.
“… You’ve got it!”
“Jeong…chari…!”
As the hearing loss in the ear subsides, the sound gradually becomes clearer.
“…Ring!”
I felt my body warm, and soon my hearing returned.
“Porter! It’s okay!”
Talia, her eyes wide open, spoke to her with tears like chicken droppings.
“How… how did it go….”
“That’s…”
As Talia tried to say something, her saintess interrupted her.
“First of all, get out of here, sister.”
– It’s okay.
The saintess uttered a stern voice and immediately wrapped me in chains and clung to Thalia, and began to escape from the top of the demonic tree.
“Ugh! Why are you guys so heavy!”
“It’s heavy…! Don’t slander me!”
I also picked up a queen on the way.
Talia, who looks relatively dwarfed because she is surrounded by majestic mountain ranges, steps on the ground panting.
“Is everyone okay?!”
A warrior who rushes like a dart and asks about our well-being.
“No, it’s not okay…”
-Koo-gu-gu palace.
It was difficult to control my body because of the Demonic Beast that was still making a lot of vibrations.
But compared to before, he doesn’t attack.
The warrior who had been watching the scene quietly opened his mouth.
“It’s over… Yup!”
Cheating What are you doing now?
I hurriedly shut the mouth of the warrior who was about to recite the spell of resurrection and watched the demon with a nervous heart.
-Koo-goo-goo.
Then, Makaisu went back to where he was and planted his roots.
-Saah.
Soon, new leaves began to sprout from the bare branches.
“The mother tree has returned…”
“Her Majesty has returned too!”
Elves shed tears of joy at the sight.
Undoubtedly, the appearance of each leaf emitting light and absorbing demonic energy was a world tree.
Everyone present was just staring at the spectacle.
A scene of reverence was unfolding right in front of my eyes.
“Holy Lady, this is…”
“Yes, demons are being purified.”
Just as the saintess said, the red sky covered with demonic energy faded and the blue sky beyond it gradually began to appear. Roots protruded and filled up the soil, and green shoots poked out their heads.
“Master!”
“Is everyone okay!”
Even Chloe and Raina running from far away.
“It’s not a bad sight, except for getting over the edge of death a few times…”
The porter, who had been talking badly about it, soon felt a soft, moist feeling on his cheek.
-Kyuwoo….
Kyudol rubbing his body against my cheeks with his eyes moist.
Yes. Everything will be fine with this one.
“But I haven’t done this twice…”
“Porter!”
After pouring out everything, the porter lost consciousness and collapsed on the spot.
***
“Hmm…”
I felt that the current situation was inconvenient as the saintess caught her lost spirit by unreservedly beating her with her divine power.
“…”
It’s already been 30 minutes since the elves who approached us didn’t say anything and only kissed their lips.
It’s strange. Obviously, Magi has been purified, but why is it so uncomfortable?
After a while. A sage came out and opened his mouth with a face that had made a big decision.
A wise man with his eyes closed and his head bowed.
“Thank you so much for saving our village, and also for saving the mother tree and the queen!”
“Thank you…!”
The rest of the elves bow their heads, led by the wise man.
No, because it’s like this, it’s like getting down on your knees.
“Haa…”
Sergina, wrapped in a piece of cloth she didn’t know where she got from, went out.
Before she could open her mouth, she glared at me and let out a sigh.
“Haa… Thank you. We elves owe you a great debt.”
Of course I should thank you.
If you don’t, you’re going to get screwed.
I thought the hero would answer me and I stayed still.
Tuk-tuk.
When I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned my head and the party members looked at me.
Are you asking me to do it now?
Now I was trembling at the treatment of hitting me in the middle of the day.
‘I said my life went back and forth several times up there….’
A situation where everyone laughs silently about what is so good.
It is also not in good shape to keep the queen waiting, so she couldn’t help but open her mouth.
“Yeah, well. I just did what I had to do.”
From noble mtl dot com
Sergina looked at me blankly, then she shifted her gaze to Reina.
“Take it.”
Then, Reina returned the necklace she was holding dearly to Sergina.
But she didn’t take her necklace and just looked at it.
“Queen?”
Reina asked as if she was curious about her appearance.
Sergina took her necklace and put it on immediately.
“Queen?!”
Not her own neck, but her Reina’s neck.
There was a great uproar among the elves who saw it, but everyone had no choice but to remain silent at the queen’s words.
“Reina. Take out your bow.”
“But I…”
“Come on. I’m waiting for you.”
“…”
Reina put her hand on her necklace inevitably at her firm words.
-Paaah.
The necklace transformed into a bow in her hand.
“Raina handles the Queen’s bow…!”
“What the hell happened…”
The elves got into trouble again, but the queen didn’t stop them this time.
“It looks like the bow has found its owner.”
“But the Queen! This is the Queen’s…!”
All the time.
Then Sergina shook her head.
“I don’t even have a bow to give you, so I’m just bitter.”
Can I just give it away so easily… ?
The queen did not miss the moment Reina gave up.
“To say thanks, you guys need to rest too, so don’t hold on to it any longer. Let’s take a good rest today and talk again tomorrow.”
Then Sergina hurriedly left with her elves.
What’s good about me. Even now, I feel like I’m about to die.
Aside from getting better, I wanted to become one with the bed right now.
On the way back, messing around like that.
Everyone, except for the saintess, trudged, as if it were difficult.
“Yes.”
“Yes?”
Raina suddenly talks to me.
“Please stay by my side from now on.”
Her mind giddy at those words.
Is that what you’re going to say to someone who just almost ransacked?
I wondered if you hadn’t seen any KAMPs, but it’s like this again.
“Yeah, I saw something.”
But escaping has to be stealthy.
You have to bow down here.
“Thank you.”
Fortunately, it seems to pass without any doubt.
“Oooh! I’m hungry!”
Suddenly, Chloe, who was walking in front of me, started to lose her temper, puffing up her tail.
“It’s definitely time to get hungry.”
“I don’t have an appetite. I don’t want to eat.”
“Sister, skipping meals is not good.”
“Then go and eat right away.”
“Bob is rice!”
It was only now that I realized the sound of the conversation that I heard.
‘You really did a great job.’
– Kwy!
It’s been the first time in a while that I’m a kid who doesn’t throw up at my words and responds to me.
Yes. I’m kinda cool
I know.
When I turned my head, I saw the party members still talking.
“You know. If you’re not going to eat, can I eat your share too?”
“That’s right.”
“Sister!”
Chloe covets even Talia’s share.
But if you go there, there is only grass, Yonsuk-ah.
Having experienced Chloe crying once again, I returned to my room and lay down on the bed.
– Kyuwoo.
When I lie down, it naturally climbs up on my chest and settles down.
“Thank you? Now you see how good your master is.”
– Kwy!
“Why do you listen so well? It’s like the first time I met you… Okay, I’ll stop.”
When I saw that Kyadol’s eyes returned to normal, I hurriedly lowered my tail.
After talking for a while, I couldn’t overcome the drowsiness that came over me and left my body on the water horse.
***
Not long after I closed my eyes, I gradually began to clear my mind.
“This is…”
The interior of the room with occasional hazy clouds.
Similar feeling to the spirit realm I visited before… It’s not, it’s the spirit realm, right here.
He had not even touched the World Tree, but he had suddenly entered the spirit realm.
The spirits of Raina, who were filled with excitement somewhere, were flying around with a splash.
That’s what Kpyoldori did when he did something.
The time when I was staring blankly at the spirits filled with pride.
“Are you awake?”
A woman’s voice came from somewhere.
Unlike the first time I visited. A familiar voice now.
“You…”
When I turned my head, there was a world tree in front of me with a slightly disheveled appearance.
