Chapter 420 – 420. Attack on the Forest of Corruption
Mushroom people began to multiply and cultists went crazy.
And..
“What, what is it? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”
There was Han Ah-ram, who fell into a state of panic at Jang Jo-joon’s sudden jerk.
“Aram, Junie must have plans.”
“Sister. Is it really like that? Does that person have plans?”
Kang Hee-seon, who gives unconditional trust to Jang Jo-joon, who sent his children alive without killing them several times with his earnest request, and the others who are puzzled by Jang Jo-joon’s actions, who did not move as planned and rushed ahead.
In fact, the original plan was this.
1. After planting the plant in the forest, Kang Hee-seon grows it quickly and purifies the forest first.
2. When the forest is cleansed, the place with the hidden Deer King’s crown will open, so you will learn it faster than others who have entered the forest.
3. So, after taking control of the forest with the deer king’s crown, you can easily find Spenta Mainyu, which is left somewhere in the forest.
4. When Spenta Mainyu is found, take out the mushroom human body fragments that have been stored in a wooden box, and rapidly increase the number to wake up the Spenta Mainyu body.
5. After dedicating the forest to Spenta Mainyu and making Kang Hee-seon an apostle of Mainyu, he immediately awakens it for the second time and completely swallows the forest of corruption.
I had such a plan.
However, Jang Jo-jun suddenly entered the forest of corruption, released the mushroom people, and immediately proceeded with the resurrection of Spenta Mainyu.
If this happens, the body of the god who has lost reason will run rampant.
Even Jang Jo-jun was very angry right now. Anyone can see that he seemed to have lost his temper and proceeded on his own, so Han Ah-ram couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Whoa. Sorry. I couldn’t help it. We had to revive Spenta right away.”
Jang Jo-joon, who multiplied the mushroom people infinitely, explained his situation while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He had just heard the old mother’s voice dying.
To be precise, it was a fragmentary but intense memory sent by the goddess. It was like a kaleidoscope.
Accordingly, Jojun Jang realized that the forest itself, including the crown of the deer king, was a kind of ‘trap’.
Of course, the information of Mara Papiyas, who had difficulty observing the surroundings in a sealed state, was not perfect. It must have been her sealed limit.
That’s why I couldn’t see her either. Already…
“Nus has already been resurrected.”
At least the information that Spenta Mainyu was in danger was accurate, so Mara Papiyas’ information was valuable enough.
If it wasn’t for that, Jojun Jang would have kept delaying the invasion of the Forest of Corruption. If he hadn’t met Mara Papiyas, he would have come after the Catacombs raid.
Or, there was a high possibility that he was entangled in another incident during the invasion of the catacombs and eventually pushed to a lower priority.
“I think World Tree was waiting for Heesun-noona to come.”
“What do you mean?”
“There is a divine tree at the center of this forest. A young tree that did not become a world tree. That was the trap.”
Going back to the story, Jang Jo-jun’s memory of Spenta Mainyu was like this.
After luring Kang Hee-seon with the Crown of the Deer King, he absorbed her into the sacred tree, killed him, and then took away the druid class.
“Yeah, something was weird from the beginning.”
“That’s right. It was a little strange that only my sister had a job transfer quest like that.”
Kang Hee-seon, who possesses the Three Gods of Nous. She’s been given a bizarre job-changing quest that requires her to go to her Forest of Corruption and get the Deer King’s crown.
Look, has there ever been a person who has been given a quest this way?
‘No. There was no Everyone finds something. Meeting was the main direction of the secondary awakening.’
Even Jang Jo-jun, the hero of Manmajeon, had no quests associated with collecting the Three Gods in this way.
He was simply driven by his strange fate.
That’s why the quest called Forest of Corruption given to Kang Hee-seon is somewhat heterogeneous.
Jang Jo-jun also felt it vaguely, but he wasn’t sure. But now it’s clear. It was all a trap to lure Kang Hee-seon to death. Zhang Zhaojun was furious at this.
“The first year of the world tree.”
The moment he realized that he could not steal the druid Kang Hee-seon from Jang Jo-jun’s master, the world tree only thought of killing the druid and stealing the class.
It was a trap that started like that.
However, there was one important fact that the World Tree overlooked.
That is, Jang Jo-jun is filthy busy.
‘The World Tree waited and waited for me and Heesun noona to enter the forest. But since I don’t come into the forest for one reason or another, they must have decided to take care of Spenta Mainyu first.’
He was right. I’m tired of waiting
When he had already attacked the Mansion of Tremor, Jo-Jun Jang prepared the groundwork to enter the Forest of Corruption.
If it had been as predicted by the World Tree, at this time, Jo-Jun Jang should have entered the forest of corruption, fell into the trap of the World Tree, struggled, and lost Kang Hee-seon.
The plan was to keep the Druid class that was taken away, and when the resurrection stone update came out later, after reviving Nous, he would take over the class from a human with the Druid class and give it to Nous.
From the beginning, I had no intention of giving Druids to humans.
Furthermore, the resurrection stone itself was created by a giant. There is no way that Gye Se-su, a rookie from the same Mangwijeon, did not know this.
It was an open secret that the Resurrection Stone would come out as an update soon.
The original plan of the World Tree was to continue toss rice cakes by scattering Nous’ Flower Ring so that it could be purchased at a general store, and to have those with the Druid class bite the bait and enter the Forest of Corruption.
However, the first plan failed as the druid entered the hands of Jang Jo-jun, and moreover, Jang Jo-jun delayed and delayed entering the forest of corruption for one reason or another.
After waiting so endlessly, Mangwijeon disappeared before I knew it.
In the position of the world tree, he must have been mad and jumping.
Because things got more complicated.
Now, even if you get a druid, the main base has already disappeared. That’s why the World Tree just started to pakuri from Spenta Mainyu.
Druid or something, he thought that he had to fight the evil god belonging to Manma right away.
Mara Papiyas, who vaguely sensed this, was startled and informed Jang Jo-jun that the situation was strange as soon as he ran into him.
‘Because I didn’t come, someone resurrected Nous with a resurrection stone, and upon his resurrection, Nous entered the forest of corruption and began to absorb the Spenta Mainyu hidden under the divine tree. I couldn’t have saved him even if I was a little late.’
Left unattended in the Forest of Corruption, Spenta Mainyu hid under the Divine Tree to absorb the remaining energy. However, after Nous was resurrected, he began absorbing Spenta Mainyu in reverse.
And, unknown to Jo-Jun Jang, Nous was awakened by survivors in North Korea. The resurrection of Nous was not difficult.
The direct intervention of a god meant allowing the intervention of other gods as well, so the player needed to awaken Nous with the resurrection stone.
And just as Jang Jo-joon captured two spies in a department store and obtained information, North Korea was full of players belonging to Mangwijeon.
Yes, all of North Korea is a field of Mangwijeon players, and waking Nous with the resurrection stone created in Daehongdan was a very simple task.
This also happened because Jojun Jang did not take care of the front yard properly.
Whether this will apply to him in a good or bad way will only be known after the Corrupted Forest is over.
Anyway, all of these incidents occurred due to the World Tree’s plausible trickery and Jang Jo-joon’s neglect of the quest and neglect of the front yard.
“Anyway, the goddess’ spiritual body was already halfway in their hands, so she had no choice but to wake her body right away.”
“Now it makes a little sense.”
“The goddess was being eaten… Is that possible? You are God.”
“Because in the sealed state, her body and mind were split in half.”
Spenta Mainyu was extremely weak. The druid, standing on the half-body, decided to mobilize even the divine tree and inserted a straw, so there was no choice.
“From now on, all plans will be revised. Thanks to Hellus’ armor, we are relatively free from the effects of the spores. However, Spenta Mainyu, whose ego is half-destroyed, is in a state where it cannot distinguish between us and enemies. In short, all life in this spore-infested forest, except for the Mushroom Man we dragged in, will be against us.”
“All living things…”
“But the same goes for the enemy side. Also, if I remember seeing it right…”
A number of players belonging to the pantheon and unidentified NPCs were already lined up around the divine tree.
In addition, the entire forest was covered with high-ranking tribes who participated in the war aiming for the soul of Spenta Mainyu.
“There must be some high-ranking people who are eaten by spores.”
“Yes. It’s full of slaves and live sacrifices. So, Hellus, take out Yoo In-seok. Vesper, you spray the prepared parasite. The three of us will move forward, making a path.”
As soon as Jang Jo-jun finished speaking, Vesper took out three glass bottles from his bag.
Each contained moss roundworm, alcide larvae, and parasites.
Vesper poured her own blood into his bottle. Soon, parasitic creatures affected by his blood twisted his body and turned it black. Now you can survive the Corrupted Forest.
Clink!!!
After completing the task, Vesper threw the glass bottle and broke it, and the parasites from the broken glass flew at the beasts and creatures of the corrupted forest with Basper’s plague.
“Hey!! Jackie!! Listen straight up!”
“Ugh!! Yes, Hellus-sama..!!”
Hellas has already pulled out the second tombstone.
“Soon the body of the goddess will manifest here! You have to point him in the right direction.”
Hellas began to drive a tombstone into the ground to lure the body of the goddess to the sacred tree. Yoo In-seok, which had been prepared in case something went wrong and the body of the goddess was summoned from a strange place, began to be stuck on the floor in a row.
“Let’s go too.”
Jang Jo-jun and Han A-ram took the lead. Kang Hee-seon, who was in the back row, stretched out her hand to cut through the forest, and the rotting forest shook and opened the way.
As the forest parted like the miracle of Moses, they immediately ran towards the place where the divine tree was located. There was no time to delay.
******
“Nu, Mr. Nus!! It’s a big day!!! The Apostle of Disaster.!!!”
“I already know. Don’t make a fuss.”
Inside the divine tree, Nous, who had been half assimilated with the tree, woke up at the cry of his subordinate.
“You are here at last. Slow human bastards.”
Nous, a heterogeneous forest keeper who values time the most among the upper-class forest keepers who live for eternity.
He rose to face the enemy.
Whoa-!
Soon a light shines in his hand.
The power of the World Tree in his right hand, and the energy of corruption in his left hand.
Furthermore, the roots of the sacred tree stretched out and put a crown on his head.
Wearing the Deer King’s crown on his head, Nuth sneered at the approaching enemies as he closely sensed them.
“I am perfect. Are you perfect, cultist?”
The arrogant dwarf gave an eerie smile.
