Chapter 890 – Ancient Tower (10)
Talent… Talent… Squeak. Squeak.
The roar of the Ents coming from all directions threatened all the hunters and knights in the desert.
It felt like scratching on an iron plate, but it also sounded like sobbing in pain, or like a child crying to death after being whipped, squeezing all the strength it could from suckling.
-What a mess!
Tentacles pulled out from the floor floated the shape of an Ent over 2 meters long.
The number of them in the desert was so great that it was difficult to count them, and all the people scattered throughout the place were in danger of being attacked by them.
“Are we finished figuring it out?”
“Yes, this black branch is like a kind of summoning beast. Its owner is the Old World Tree, which is rampaging all around, and Hyperion is above it… In the end, it is connected to the queen.”
Elm, the representative of Kangin’s World Tree and the leader of the Tree Knights.
He, who was at the forefront of subjugating the king along with Jeong Si-woo and Shiva, asked the hunter he was analyzing. As soon as I heard the answer, I shouted with magic in my voice.
“Assemble!”
Being scattered and being destroyed individually is the worst case scenario.
Elm, who had struck down the huge Ent with her great sword, grabbed the Hunter who was busy analyzing the Ent’s weaknesses with magic, kicked off the ground, and floated into the sky.
A sight seen as it rises into the sky.
The image of a girl struggling in the distance caught my eye.
A skilled swordsman who overwhelms two or three Ents by skillfully cutting off their bodies and limbs. Ebony.
However, he didn’t seem to notice the shady tentacle approaching from behind.
‘… I’m not a member of the Tree Knights.’
If so, he must be a person from the king’s side.
Elm, who was trying to look away from her, was in anguish for a moment, but then she changed her gaze and lunged towards the ebony with her spurs in the air.
A tentacle shoots towards the ebony with a snake-like movement.
-Quaang!
Elm stepped on the black shadow that was trying to tie her neck and crushed it.
“… !”
The startled ebony turned her head and closed her eyes in bewilderment.
It would be like saving the enemy’s life. Because that’s not the case right now.
In order to defeat that huge queen, I had to at least borrow the help of a Jindo dog.
“Be careful. Each individual has a superior temperament. “You can’t feel it with magic, so spread the energy.”
“… Yes.”
A black Jindo dog that answers unexpectedly. That face is bright and beautiful.
For some reason, it feels like I’m seeing a hero from our side. It wasn’t so much that they resembled each other in appearance as it was their unique good vibes.
It was a sight that did not fit at all considering the people’s image of King Mokryeong, who is often falsely denigrated for propaganda purposes.
Is this girl like a saint of the kingdom?
But then she can’t be left alone in this fight.
‘I guess it doesn’t really matter.’
It is natural to be mistaken, because in addition to its innate nature, the immaculate texture of the ebony wood, which is praised as the highest quality, causes even the most distracted gaze to remain on its face for a long time.
“What’s your name?”
“… Ebony.”
“!”
It was only when she heard Ye Uisang’s name that she spat out that she realized it because she had saved her.
This girl is Lee Si-heon’s disciple and successor.
I thought I might have asked for something harsh, but anyone would have done that.
The moment Elm turned her head, she thought so. This time, something harsh popped out from the floor again.
“Uncle Elm.”
“… ?”
Is this what it means to her to almost fall?
As if trapped in a sand hell, a head the size of a soccer ball popped out from the desert and spoke to him.
Bulky eyes, black hair, and white bridge. Appearance somewhat reminiscent of an Asiatic black bear.
Even bears that tear people to pieces are cute when they are young.
However, even the cub hides the overwhelming physical strength and power of a wild bear.
Wiki was pulled out from under the ground and floated in the sky, speaking.
“I need help there.”
“… What? Why would a child the size of you be here?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
A space creeping behind Wiki, who speaks in a dazed manner. An invisible Ent monster appeared chasing Wiki’s magic.
【Krrrr!’
A monster that opens its mouth and tries to devour a small child.
‘Like this-‘
Elm reacted late and raised her sword. The monster behind Wiki suddenly collapsed to the floor like a trampled can.
Splashing blood. Interior decoration. Bone.
The by-products of death that flew toward Wiki flowed down without even reaching the child.
“…”
“We need to unite and collect quickly. As the leader of the Tree Knights, you are perfect for that role.”
“What are you?”
Wiki gently closed one of his eyes and placed his hand on his chin cutely.
“Does a stupid old monster need to know?”
“… He looks smart, but he doesn’t seem to be good at negotiating.”
Wiki’s eyes tilt like a half moon.
If the kid lifted a single finger, all the monsters coming towards this place were crushed to the ground and died.
-Kwazizig!
“I’m doing it because of my dad. Negotiations are for resolving disputes. “Disputes are about things that are roughly similar in size.”
Tree Knights’ Elm wasn’t soft enough for Wiki’s cute threats to work.
It’s hard to believe that a kid has the biggest presence here.
‘Dad…’
Is it King Mokryeong?
His momentum alone was enough to make you think he was more than King Mokryeong.
Elm never imagined that he would meet here a being more authoritative and oppressive than the Five World Trees.
Empress of a country. That’s also quite sadistic.
“The reply is late. “For a man who is the leader of a faction to be a bastard who cannot understand his own subject and thus plunges his allies into a quagmire.”
“Wiki.”
Wiki winked rather intensely at Ebony’s words.
-… My sister stays still.
Elm was silent and quiet. Wiki sighed when he realized that his opponent wasn’t going so well.
“Ehyo.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“It’s a recommendation, right? Anyway, we have nothing to lose. The only ones that are decreasing are your allies. “What we will achieve is decided.”
“I don’t know why I should be listening.”
“You are already disqualified because you don’t feel the need to listen to me.”
You can’t get things done with just guts.
No matter how much is in the hands of the child, and no matter how extreme the situation is, it is biased towards one side’s circumstances.
However, there was a reason for Wiki’s high-handed attitude.
There is no problem at all even if you do not specifically seek cooperation from Elm.
This is just to save Dad’s trouble, and if there is not much difference between the best and the second best, you can choose whichever one you like.
In Wiki’s eyes, this was a good deed.
A good deed that Dad loves so much. The act of saving others.
A kind of filial piety.
Because I can’t cause any more pain to my dad who is on the verge of breaking down.
I don’t mind, but I have to show at least a gesture to lead the work in the best way possible.
“…”
“…”
And. How can you begrudge others for something like that?
For Wiki, the king’s daughter, to bow her head and ask for a favor was to undermine her father’s dignity.
After a short silence. Elm, who had made his decision, followed her words.
“… “Listen to the story.”
“It has to be that way.”
A temporary alliance to defeat the queen.
The tower’s energy has all been used up and there is no further benefit to be gained from this place, so it is better to defeat Melia and escape with as many of her allies and supplies as possible.
It was simple to get it from the World Tree side.
“You take the crown, right?”
“…”
Did you know that? Elm’s mouth opened coldly.
Wiki. The king’s daughter. She needs to be notified as a person of interest. After thinking that, he breathed out again and answered.
“Okay.”
“Yes. Then…”
Wiki’s eyes turn into a sneer.
The moment the white child’s fingers interlocked and snapped, Elm’s eyes turned colorless.
-Taak.
“Forget your memories for now.”
Infinite ways to use magic that are not even known to Alba.
Elm’s vision went dark at the gesture of Wiki, who had developed for centuries.
* * * * * * *
– Concluded a temporary cooperation with the king. Focus on the Ents and ATU in front of you.
Even before that which spread to the world through Elm’s voice.
Even in the unexpected battlefield, helping hands reached out from all over.
-Jeobbuk.
《Chestnut》 targeting azalea. A sword leaped out from the forehead of the huge World Tree, whose muscles were swollen like balloons.
【Quick, queak, queak. Kik Geek- Sigh?】
Jeong Si-woo lifted the sword to the guy’s head and hit it on the floor like he was chopping firewood.
The moment when the World Tree, who had fallen over, regained his body in an instant and gave strength to his legs to rush towards Jeong Si-woo.
-Clap!
Pieces of meat fell off, and Chestnut’s body was cut into pieces and fell over.
Nameless swordsmanship.
Jeong Si-woo, who cut the space on the spot, looked at Azalea holding her breath.
“… Siwoo?”
“Turn left. “There will be someone who can help.”
Jeong Si-woo spit out one word dryly and swung his sword.
Tree blood sprayed in the shape of a fan.
Jeong Si-woo’s body, filled with vibrating blades and magical energy, was surpassing its limits and approaching a high level at every moment.
It is only natural that we receive the full power of the World Tree scattered by Pando.
“Now, wait!”
Jeong Si-woo leaps forward and runs towards Hyperion without stopping even in the face of Azalea’s words.
All the Ents around were cut to death.
-Sooooo!
On one side. Kim Soo-yeon and Saku.
They were also in great danger as they once again faced the shark-toothed woman who had followed Shiva while they were unable to do so.
【… Squeak.】
It’s been a long time since I assessed the skills of the two women.
It was easy to kill, but the knight in heavy armor next to him was a problem.
“…”
“Su, Su Yu!”
Wisteria with bright eyes dripped saliva and flashed her jagged shark teeth.
At the moment when the rapid departure and exit was going on. Wisteria that ate the shoulder of Cornus officinalis.
Her purple hair fluttered, and she swallowed her flesh, her eyes frowning strangely.
【… Squeak?】
A strange spicy taste in the blood. I think it tastes like starch syrup.
Is it because of my mood?
Flesh that smells like milk is very unpleasant.
World Tree confronts Su-yu, who has just recovered. However, Cornus officinalis lowered her eyes to the floor and suddenly sheathed her sword.
【… ?】
What is that knight doing?
The moment she blinked once, something ran down the side of Cornus officinalis and rushed towards Wisteria.
-Chuck.
The wide palm that embraces her own face.
The silhouette of her man, whom she could not capture, captured Wisteria’s face. The index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were placed on Wisteria’s upper lip-
-Kwasik!
Without even thinking about it, Wisteria’s head was torn off piece by piece, starting from the corners of its mouth.
【Creep, big?! Big-】
Wisteria’s fallen optic nerve catches the eye of a man.
A huge monster covered in bark. Lee Si-heon, combined with the crown, trampled on Wisteria’s torn head and pierced her shoulder with his elbow.
-Puck!
A man’s elbow sticking out between his breasts.
Lee Si-heon, who was holding onto her neck as her jaw dropped, trampled on the helpless body of the World Tree with one foot and burst it open.
-Ujijik!
A cruel and merciless gesture from the king of power.
“…”
“…”
Cornus officinalis and Suyeon watch with somewhat surprised eyes. Saku, oblivious, opened her mouth.
“West, west…”
West?
Before the words reached Su-yeon’s ears, mud entered Saku’s mask.
“Uppebubbung!?”
Our feeding is nice.
Cheok – The sweet spot of cornelian cherry on the rise.
Siheon and Suyu, who broke their necks to make a bone sound, briefly talked with their eyes.
