Chapter 252 – The Second Hero.(19)
I decided to aim for the World Tree from the time the empire ordered me to catch the hero and the hero fled to the elven realm.
Whether it was the form of luck entering or the form of pushing through force, it was only necessary to enter.
It was because he was confident that he could enter the world tree that he made a teleportation device that works based on the enormous magic power in the world tree.
There were many twists and turns to come this far.
I had to provoke the hero properly so that he would not get excited and cause a major accident, and I had to inform the queen of my existence subtly to find out her evaluation and thoughts about me.
She learns that the Queen sees me well, and even though she obediently reveals my identity, it’s a gamble whether she can enter the World Tree.
And I succeeded in gambling, and I encountered the world tree.
The world tree is against me, but my plan is not going to go wrong.
“Everything here is delicacy. Eat it!”
I lifted Darkness up and stuck it into the ground.
This space and land were full of magical energy, and the plants were so full of life.
Although it was a dangerous being who was targeting and attacking me, Darkness was the opposite.
It was a mountain and sea delicacy worth taking this risk.
Awesome! Wood Deuk!!!
The land and plants were covered by the black aura that spread from Darkness, and a huge amount of magical energy accumulated in Darkness.
This is because Darkness, who was embedded in the ground, absorbed his magical energy at random to resurrect himself.
[Under… Haha! It’s beyond imagination. That’s great! With this level of mana, I can use my full power!]
Darkness burst into laughter and digested the mana he had absorbed to generate even greater output.
The World Tree cried out in amazement at this sight.
“These guys! Could it be that the magic that dwells in this land was the purpose from the beginning!”
The earth dies, the plants crumble.
Feeling this sight, the sound of death in real time as the world tree, a force more violent than ever attacked us.
The space shuddered and rejected us, and a myriad of plants tried to overwhelm us.
At the same time, magic that rivaled that of the World Tree emanated from me and Darkness.
“Do you think you can stop me like this? Listen carefully, the world tree! What is in front of you is the strongest and worst hybrid that has never been born in thousands of years! And the strongest being who usurped the power of the hero!”
“…For a human subject!”
Quaaaaa…
If the magic of the World Tree fills the space and rejects us, this side filled the space with the magic of this side.
The magical energy that filled the space collided violently, and a roar and destruction erupted from all directions as if the world were about to shatter.
And I got pushed back
The shockwave created by the collision of magical powers caused blood to spurt from his mouth.
“Kuluk…Kuluk… Write, it’s stronger than I thought!”
[I can’t help it because I’m pushed by the amount of magic attribute]
“Ah… They’re definitely being pushed back!”
The world tree is something transcendent, but I am human.
I say I’m strong, but I can’t help but be pushed back with pure magical power.
The world capital must have put in enough effort to know this, and it is still proud.
“Stop giving up now. If so, I’ll let you go mercifully and painlessly!”
“Damn it. Usually, when it’s like this, you should say you’ll save it. They say they’ll kill you with no fucking sincerity.”
I calculated the situation while swearing with my mouth.
Calculating the time it would take for Darkness to consume and digest all the mana of this land would take about one minute.
However, it is impossible to hold on for a minute only when pushed like this.
Yes, as long as you use magic power.
And I have other powers besides mana.
The power of the usurped warrior.
“…Hmm? This.”
The moment I realized the power of the hero, something changed.
It was imbued with magical power and began to resist the World Tree.
The first warrior’s thought body still remained, and the divine power that I couldn’t handle perfectly followed me faithfully until now.
“What, do you mean you don’t want to be searched for?
Well, either way… It doesn’t matter!
I once again exploded my power and pushed the World Tree away, and at the same time the World Tree was pushed away, Darkness consumed all the magic of the earth.
[Absorption complete. It’s a real all-out war from now on]
The magic power absorbed by Darkness flowed into me along the sword.
The pure magic of nature, which had only been slightly alleviated while going through darkness, tried to run rampant inside me like a wild horse, but at the pace of darkness, it moved like a gentle horse.
That much magic attribute is enough.
“Nonsense! How can you contain so much of nature’s magical energy and still be alive! The amount that humans can handle has long ago exceeded!”
“You bastard. I know how little you think of humans… But that’s not what’s important right now.”
I just put on my choker.
The world tree, who knew the true ability of the choker, regretted it, but it was already too late.
“Hunting ends here! From now on, it’s a war!”
I threw my choker into the air, and a huge amount of mana rushed into the choker.
The choker was shattered by the amount of mana far beyond what the choker could accommodate.
And, a huge hole appeared.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo—
Spaces were forcibly connected due to the influence of overloading the magic tools that connect spaces.
At this point, the World Capital must have known what I was aiming for, and he hurriedly moved his huge body to block the hole.
The wooden doll had already gone inside, and a myriad of branches extended toward the hole.
However, the branches were all cut off by Darkness’s slash I wielded.
“You think I’ll let you go. You loser!”
[Ney No Oh! Did you think you would be safe even if you drilled a hole in the space? You know what kind of disaster that hole will bring later!]
“There’s nothing to worry about! Belly has already made a magical tool that restores space.”
I’m not stupid either.
There is no solution, but he is not hot-tempered enough to make holes in the space.
So there is no need to worry about this.
You will die at my hands anyway.
“I’ll take good care of the elves, and if you entrust the arms to me, I’ll take good care of them… That’s why I die.”
Once, twice, three times, four times, five times.
The sword was swung five times, five times in total.
The branches were torn to pieces, and the sword, which did not stop cutting the branches, also carved wounds into the trunk of the tree.
Without stopping here, Darkness’s magical power carved into the wound burrowed into the World Tree centered on the wound.
The world tree had so much magical power that it didn’t have a great effect, but the huge tree shook as if it felt pain from the fiery magical attack it felt for the first time.
And from the hole, the knights and soldiers of the Empire jumped out.
“1st Regiment, drop! 2nd Regiment, drop! 3rd Regiment, drop!”
Stumble, stumble.
With an intrusive metallic sound, the knights rode wyverns and descended into the elves’ realm.
The army of knights, numbering at least 5,000, was too strong for the elves to stop in the heart of the elves.
This made it clear
The country of elves perishes today.
“All troops, search for the criminal warriors from now on! If the elves stop us, use ordinary elves as hostages and arrest them all! It’s Lord Artel’s order, so move to capture them alive as much as possible!”.
[Can not be done! I think I’ll send… !]
“I have to send it. What if you don’t send it?”
Chew!
The tree trunk was cut in half.
He was recovering quickly, but it was enough to attract the attention of the World Tree.
[Your guy… Everything is because of you guys! Die! Die. Pray for forgiveness from nature, elves, and warriors!]
“Forgiveness? Did you say forgiveness just now? Forgiveness… It’s the mercy the strong give to the weak!”
Watching the knights run, I rushed at the World Tree.
I tore the branches that came crashing into me, and the roots that were trying to bind my legs were torn to ashes with lightning.
The tree trunk spoke and ran quickly up to the top of the tree.
The tops of the trees were so high in the air that the clouds felt like mist.
“It’s so nice to be cool!”
[Yes, very cool!]
The world tree is trying to knock us off, but since it was a creature that didn’t move well in the first place, it couldn’t move violently enough to knock us off.
Thanks to that, I easily found the center of the World Tree and stabbed Darkness there.
Woowook!
The darkness deeply embedded in it soon began to eat away at the World Tree.
The World Tree resisted.
For the first time, the sense of danger shook his whole body, and he did not speak.
However, the continuous bursts of magic showed how stubbornly the World Tree was resisting.
Haha! It’s thrilling, it’s the best! It’s the best!]
Darkness, which gnaws at the world tree, began to crack his sword body.
And between the cracks, a bright light shone.
It’s like breaking an egg and being born anew.
“Then I leave the finishing up to you. I have to go see the elf too.”
[Leave it to me! I will eat them all and show you my true body]
“Yes, I’ll look forward to it.”
After saying that, I jumped off the World Tree and landed lightly on the ground.
And ran out of the forest.
It was a mess outside the forest.
The knights moved forward, overpowering the elves, and the dense forests and houses were burning.
“I am the enemy!”
“How could a human be here!”
“Subdue it! End it without hurting as much as possible!”
Watching this, I picked up a branch that had fallen to the floor.
“Then I shall try to capture the queen.”
I am already looking forward to seeing what kind of expression the queen will make.
