Chapter 899 – The Queen’s End (2)
Since the cotyledon blossomed in your arms.
I have never lost my pride.
Gaia. Our mother.
For the sake of the future and the meaning contained in the three letters of that great name, the wrong person must never rise up or be trampled upon.
─Meliai
I, who grew up under your spilled blood, am a blood relative of non-purity and a pure ash tree that rules heaven and earth.
Death, violence, and the origins of humanity.
The queen’s intellect born from Gaia. The one who will reign over all the trees.
-Padeuk.
Melia’s brow furrowed and a roar filled with evil came out.
“Dare.”
The sad voice was broken like a mechanical sound. A gaze so intense and arrogant that it pierces Siu and Shiva’s faces.
“How dare a human subject crawl into the emperor’s presence like a cockroach?”
Melia, intent on tearing off part of her cumbersome dress to make it easier for her to move, placed her feet on the sandy floor.
No matter how much Jeong Si-woo and Lee Shiba were born with outstanding talent in eradicating the World Tree.
The level of magical power provided by the crown connected to the queen is of a different level.
Seeing the queen’s unusual spirit, Shiva aimed her great sword and shouted at Jeong Si-woo.
“Mister.”
“Uh.”
A conversation that works even if the substance is missing.
The two people who rushed to the ground on both sides of the queen quickly took out their swords, but the blades did not pierce the queen’s body.
-Boom!
“The origins of humans, trees, and the foundation of the world tree all lie in me. “There’s nothing you guys can do about this body!!!”
『Day and Day』
『Meliades (Μελιάδες)』
Summoning and drawing her ash spear from beneath the surface, Melia unleashed her own godhead to create and manipulate her dimension.
The red hair that was assimilated into the crown fluttered in the wind, and the spear blows from the hand cut off the space around Siu and Shiva.
-So bad!
It’s a tragedy that doesn’t even consider the scale of the damage.
There was no more Queen’s side left in ATU. The magical power contained in the spear poured out across the entire area and cut through the horizon.
-Quaaaaa!
It’s good if it’s right. Stop harming yourself.
From the queen’s perspective, it was better for her to avoid it.
If Jeong Si-woo and Shiva move to protect their bodies, the hunters behind them will die like a swarm of flies with their heads cut off. She, the bloodline of Gaia, would if she were to unleash her crown to the fullest and harvest her life force from the dead. Because those two will become the Nakdong River Duck Eggs.
The true value of a crown lies in replacing vitality with power.
This was because Lee Si-heon’s limitations as a mere human were clear, and unlike him, the queen, who was Gaia’s bloodline, was able to obtain the life force and soul of others from outside of her.
Lee Si-heon, an individual, has achieved so much with his small life, but if he were to absorb many wooden people with much higher basic skills, he would be scolded.
Conversely, either Jeong Si-woo or Shiva blocks the blow?
There was no one on the battlefield that could handle Melia’s output, and there was not enough time to even activate Shiva’s fate-bending power.
A tree that has nothing to lose is the scariest!
The queen’s struggles, left alone, hit Shiva and Jeong Si-woo with great intensity. The two were given an easy choice time.
In order to block the attack, you had to grit your teeth and squeeze out all the remaining strength, but there was no way to beat the queen in a war of attrition.
Therefore, it is useless to block attacks.
Hoping for the help of the Mukryeong King in fighting Hyperion was also far away.
The only other option is to use all hunters who are talents and heroes of the new era as discards.
This was also an act closer to the lesser evil rather than the next best option because it could increase the power of her queen.
Even though each of the hunters is concocting their own magic and power, is it even worth it to withstand the current queen’s turmoil?
‘…’
Shiva, whose head was so confused, was unable to make a decision hastily.
Since it is a situation where she cannot decide between lanes, even Jeong Si-woo, who has the most freedom in her arms and legs, is unable to respond easily.
If he used pando, he could come back to life no matter how many times he died. Even if you used your whole body’s strength, it was impossible to block that blow.
I was cornered. There was confidence in Melia’s eyes.
You can win.
If we can exaggerate the power of the crown and deal with Lee Si-heon one after another, it would not be impossible to devour the world.
The appearance of the old Gaia in her red eyes inspired Melia’s desire to win.
-Flapping.
No matter what color in the world you use, your hair is incomparably blue and yellow-green.
Unlike ordinary world trees, it has a graceful young body and an evergreen tree overhead that looks at one with nature.
A tree more beautiful than any woman, more voluptuous than any mother goddess, and more beautiful than anything else in the world. Every time I smiled, the flowers and branches twitched, and how happy I was.
Even when her sister took over Gaia’s name, you were never disliked.
─Melia. You, please walk your own path. I’m not saying you’re not fit for the crown. I made this decision because I care about you so much.
She is the only one who deserves the love of all things. As strong energy overlaid Melia’s skin, Gaia’s factor sealed within her soul slowly bloomed.
-Quaaaaa!
Melia’s tragedy is still rampant at that time.
Jeong Si-woo and Shiva, who could not bear to let everyone die, took their positions and raised their weapons to increase their magical power and respond.
‘Uncle.’
‘Okay. Are you blocking it?’
A moment when a dry conversation is carried out with just eye contact.
-Both of you, let go of the attack and hand it over here.
Elm’s command came right from behind.
We cannot just sit back and watch the loss of key combatants.
Elm, the leader of the Tree Knights and their superior, ordered him to wear armor, and with a short breath, he began to engulf his body with the power of the World Tree.
The hunters are already ready to attack.
There was no time to question the order in such a tight time.
-Tap!
Shiva and Siwoo flew up almost reflexively to avoid Melia’s blow, and behind them, the hunters who had calmly vowed to die appeared one by one.
They are both heroes of the World Tree. Considering the future war between Flower and the Kingdom, losses had to be avoided even more.
You can’t just be protected forever. As a combatant, I couldn’t cause trouble as long as I was here.
Hunters and knights created a phalanx by making full use of all their capabilities, including their respective artifacts, magic, and unique abilities.
Melia’s mouth opens as if it’s funny.
Even if he were to borrow the body and power of the world tree of the strongest man for defense, not only would it be impossible, but he would only strengthen his own strength.
-Kwasik!
Ilpole struck. Shiva and Jeong Si-woo grabbed their respective swords and rushed towards Melia.
Melia shifted her gaze and thought. The hunters behind her must have been killed. Push it out like this. I swung the spear at Shiva.
-Boom!
When the sword and spear meet, Melia is pushed away.
Her eyes turned strange.
‘What?’
Weren’t the souls of hunters who died far away harvested?
It was only after being stabbed through the shoulder by Jeong Si-woo’s sword that fell later that the queen realized that things were going wrong and transferred her body to her back.
Melia grits her teeth as she sees the image of a woman in the distance.
There were not just two main combatants.
‘… That human bitch.’
Suyeon Kim. Rose of Sharon tree.
She transformed the land near her into a forest in an instant and finally began to give off an atmosphere similar to her swordsmanship.
【Liberation】
【A dream of one flower and one bird】
It was late, but the worst was avoided.
Until now, lignification was reluctant to be used because it had many shortcomings and could not be adjusted.
Sephiroth’s individuality and Danjeon evolution. Through long training, the extreme level of magical power that Mugung had wielded in the past was recreated before our eyes.
“Captain.”
“It’s okay, Saku, how are you?”
“It’s okay.”
Sooyeon and Elm were having a conversation. Saku, who instantly mobilized all his spirits and formed a defense, also managed to join in a long time ago.
With the cooperation of many hunters, the queen’s blow was blocked.
The three people, covered in blood, staggered and comforted the hunters. Melia, recovering from the penetrating wound on her shoulder, raised her spear again.
“Okay, let’s see how far we can stop it. Bug-like bastards-“
If you become tattered like a rag after just one hit, will you be able to block it the second or third time?
But what Melia overlooked was that the power of Shiva was ready to be on her chopping her block her once again.
-Boo!
In short, it is a force that makes it impossible to react.
‘… Fuck!’
Without any time to understand her cause-and-effect relationship, Melia’s eyes flickered as if frames from a completely different scene in a movie had been pasted together.
-Quadang!
When I noticed it, I saw it.
The queen’s body was falling backwards.
She was attacked, and the nape of her neck was cut off, leaving her torn flesh hanging.
Blood gushes like a fountain over the cut vein. Melia, her eyes red, hastily wrapped her upper body and sewed up her severed neck her.
“Crrrrp-“
I saw a thick shell around her body, wearing a crown for her defense.
-Boo!
From the beginning, she seemed to have never used such power-
As Shiva twisted the thread of her bond, her melia’s shell peeled away and her squishy skin rubbed against the air, causing her second sword strike to rush towards her.
“Huh!?”
This time, I guess we couldn’t just leave the confirmed attack to fate.
Melia and Shiva, who barely responded, overlapped their bodies and glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other.
“Ha, ha, ugh… !”
“You little dog!!!!!!!!!!”
It is pushed by force.
Shiva’s bowl has been completed, but is still in the process of being expanded. Shiva’s pajamas-like clothes disappeared like dust when her sword struck them.
Once liberation is over, it is impossible to change fate.
Time is running out. The person who stopped and helped Shiba, who was in a hurry, was Jeong Si-woo, who lacked potential but was experienced and rational.
“Get out of the way.”
Oops. Melia, who lost her attention due to Shiva’s power her, caught Jeong Si-woo’s movements belatedly.
“Oh, shit… !”
Shiva, who groaned, was pushed away, and Jeong Si-woo, who dug into the queen’s arms with terrifying force, succeeded in cutting off Melia’s left arm her.
‘Just regenerate at least one arm and that’s it. If you exclude the brief output, you are a bug with a lot of life…’
Jeong Si-woo digs in without stopping. But this time, the speculation was unusual.
‘… Wait, you’re the real body?’
By concentrating the nutrients of Pando, the power of the World Tree of Justice, it could be used in a completely different way.
Infinite lives, one person, one road.
If you give up merit, you gain the power of the opposite. Jeong Si-woo took out the sword energy that appeared from the Tower of Dreams and aimed at Melia’s heart
“Unipolar. Baekhwahyangdan (白和響斷)”
The unique sword moves out quickly, ready to tear Melia to pieces.
“───!”
Whirring. A torrent of mana swirling around.
The crown’s fairy tale isn’t perfect yet. Melia’s eyes turned black as she gritted her teeth.
『Complete assimilation』
Lee Si-heon’s realm, the highest level of the crown.
Just when I had no choice but to awaken all of Gaia’s humanity.
Behind Jeong Si-woo, Shiva, with his clear eyes wide open, has been adjusting the variables.
Well. In gaming terms, it’s called phase skip.
If you can delay the assimilation time even just a little, you will win.
“… Head-to-head.”
Shiva laughed. She has eyes as poisonous as her father. Melia could not come up with any answer.
As she was in her fairy tale, she didn’t even have time to speak her words.
However, in the queen’s eyes as she looked at Shiva, her anger towards the girl she considered to be a bitch was clearly evident.
-Boo!
Destiny changes.
The black energy filling Melia’s eyes disappeared in an instant, and Jeong Si-woo’s sword pierced her neck.
