Chapter 891 – Ancient Tower (11)
The moment Lee Si-heon ended Wisteria.
Mud flew out, and Saku, covered in teeth, faced her husband (?), Gurgling.
“Poetry, Siheon Award-.”
After the forced relationship and Saku’s inner resolve, the touching narrative of the handsome man and woman meeting for the first time was shattered by Lee Si-heon’s predation scene that follows.
-Cold, cluck!
The wings spread apart, the mouth and body expand, and it eats each and every piece of Wisteria’s body.
The twigs pulled out of Lee Si-heon’s body pierced the human flesh with the tree’s bark trembling, and the two, indescribably living creatures, were ready to become one. It looked like a rag golem made from human flesh.
Wisteria’s crushed and mutilated body began to struggle, stretching out its hands a long way to escape the king’s embrace.
“Ugh, ugh.”
The World Tree, which has restored its face with astonishing regenerative power, groans.
Vine Wisteria. The largest flower tree.
When it struggled, purple pollen flew out. Repeatedly being strangled and crying and biting in the man’s firm embrace.
“Kick, kick, keaaaaack!”
Even the inorganic and maddened voice began to show emotion.
Tears flowing down the hollow eyelids. The sight of it being crushed and combined with the crown like freshly removed clay was difficult to watch with a clear mind.
Stop it, don’t do it. I don’t want to fall into that hell again.
Wisteria’s appealing scream, which the three could not hear, echoed through Siheon’s brain through the crown.
‘Stop, stop…’ …’
‘I can’t help it.’
‘Are you telling me to become a cog in that damn crown again? Rather kill me. You bug-like bastard. How long are you going to keep using us?’
Wisteria opened its mouth and bit Siheon’s neck with its sharp teeth.
The bark of the tree covering my collarbone was dented by my strong, awl-like teeth. Blood pooled in the gap. Drip. The blood that fell evaporated with a boiling sound like water dropped on heated iron.
‘The situation is unfortunate.’
‘Shut up.’
A conversation that goes back and forth without a break. Wisteria’s head, which had its teeth stuck in his neck, gradually began to seep into Lee Si-heon’s body against his will.
‘Die, die… To die. From my toes to my eyeballs, I will slowly go crazy and die.’
An old tree dying and cursing. I will hold on to your ankle until the end. Siheon asked her as she screamed.
‘I don’t know what kind of sense of justice you had and how you cooperated with the crown in your past life.’
‘Pfft’
‘The era has passed. I also have a lot at stake.’
‘Go to hell… Lose.’
It’s already hell. Wisteria’s body, which had melted into Siheon’s arms as she chanted, was closely adhered and absorbed. As the crown combined with her body pulsed red, a swarm of light spread out in all directions around her.
The bark that stuck to Siheon’s body and head was replaced with something of a higher rank.
White breath flowed down her horizontally scarred mouth like smoke from dry ice.
The king turns his head towards Suyeon, Saku, and Cornus officinalis in their seats.
“Siheon, Sang. Right away? “
Saku’s voice trembled as if he had been hit in the back of the head. Sooyeon’s reaction was the same.
“… Why do you look like that? “You.”
It is not a human shape. Wouldn’t the human models standing in each science room be more lively?
Siheon, who was only wearing an iron cap, was making strange noises and was repeatedly closing and opening his stiff eyes as if he was trying to feel the power he had gained.
“…”
Stand still for a while. A murderous voice burst out.
“Cornus officinalis.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go.”
How can you not feel your legs shaking even after hearing such bizarre speech sounds that seem to imitate human sounds?
“Siheonsang! It’s okay, it’s okay, right?”
Saku followed Siheon’s footsteps as he was about to leave and asked with exaggerated concern.
He regained his senses once after being hit with mud by Cornus officinalis, but when he continued the conversation, he was frozen and entered the Sakuga Kingdom. It will result in the immediate collapse of the nation of Japan.
So I put my foot down and left. Just make a small gesture to indicate positivity.
“Eh, eh. Siheon-“
Suyu glanced at the dumb-faced Saku and stuck out her tongue.
“The fox later.”
* * * * * * *
─Cooperate.
When Elm’s voice, borrowed from Wiki’s magic, rang throughout the tower. A large-scale raid against the spread-out World Tree began simultaneously.
“Get the injured person out of the way, and take out all the potions the medical team has. We are currently working on measures against the curse.”
Vice president of the Hunter Association and a former member of Dowonhyang. The hunters, who quickly formed a group under the leadership of the bamboo tree, confronted the tree.
“Hyperion… “Eup!”
“Please shut up, brother.”
The baobab tree, on the verge of a dream, was caught by his sister and devoted all his energy to dealing with the mysterious tree.
-Flash!
Lee Se-young, the crow who stopped time, generously used her awakened power to sweep across the battlefield.
The magic of horse chestnut is erupting.
The memorization of stars poured in from the sky.
The sword of the autumn leaves, separated into a thousand sacks, passed by, skewering the heart of the Ent.
The king’s close associates who were not with him before began to show their faces, and the hunters present instinctively learned the whereabouts of those prestigious women, but there was no time to scold them.
From the little wise man Horse Chestnut Blanche, the Hunter Association president Byul, and the head of a huge company, Azalea, to Lee Se-young, who dominates the underworld.
They’re all women. It leads to some kind of imagination.
Did you use that dangerous power of subjugation, or were you on his side in the first place?
It would be eye-watering to imagine that even Horse Chestnut, a sage who is one of the world trees and has actually risen to the top rank, is sharing a meal with Lee Si-heon, but what can you do?
The fact that they showed their faces probably means that they are all prepared. Maybe. After this incident is over, the media will be excited once again.
No… Since their position is theirs, the World Tree, with its twisted mind, might try to start a real war.
-Boom!
But at this moment, they are the most helpful allies.
“Seyoung!!!!”
“Fuck, why?”
“Why do you swear as soon as you see me?”
“So why are you calling me?”
“If we go back, we’ll be screwed, right? There will be rumors.”
Byul and Se-young, who entered the battlefield under Alba’s support magic that did not illuminate her face, leaned back and talked.
Words exchanged alternately between heavy breaths.
-Chuck. In a circle, the two plunged their weapons into the Ent on the other side.
“Then, hoo, hoo…” … “I should marry her.”
“Right. Should I take responsibility? “When I go back, will I ask you to spank my ass while watching the news that ruined my reputation?”
Seyoung is scared.
“Are you a pervert?”
“Seyoung. Chewdeok is originally a pervert.”
Maybe it was because of the adrenaline rush that came from directly stepping into her battlefield, but her mouth was completely open.
Is this what it means for the body she was always stuck in to regain old memories? Actually, I didn’t even know I was being too selfish.
On the other hand, it could be a really big problem.
Although I was worried, this meant that she had completely turned her head to Lee Si-heon’s side.
“Huh, my whole life is ruined because of one man.”
“Who broke down first?”
Being worried also means being excited. They were two people who were tired of the media’s angry eyes, the external pressure of religion, and the sight of a failing country.
A kingdom that a loved one pushes forward with all his or her convictions? Rather, it’s good.
That time when I smiled happily. The crowded camp of hunters collapsed at once, and the World Tree emerged from the crowd with its eyes wide open.
-Jeobug, jerk.
【…】
Prophet, Prometheus. An old tree that has endured 5,000 years.
He, who looked like an old man in a suit, glanced at Seyoung and Byul and spoke lightly in a broken voice.
【She is a woman who did not end well.】
He muttered in a clear Earth language and spread his stiff, statue-like wings behind his back.
【All will end in destruction. The queen and the man… Even human heroes.】
The star lowered the sticky blood-covered sword and spat it out.
“What is this guy, it’s so fucking cringy.”
【…】
“If you catch that, Siheon can absorb it and extend his lifespan, right?”
Prometheus’ mask-like face crumpled. He is a prophet by name, but was he criticized for being cringy?
Prometheus revealed his power and unleashed his magic.
Just before the black hole that shot out of my hand passed over Seyoung and the stars-
-Quagaga River!
The great sword that thundered down from the sky cut the prophet’s neck in half like firewood.
Seogeuk- A cross-sectional view that falls neatly from the shoulder on the right to below the waist on the left.
Seyoung and Byul frowned and checked the face of the girl who broke in.
A familiar shape that can be recognized just by looking at the clothes, without even having to look at the facial expression.
Anyone who interacted with Siheon during his time at the Academy would recognize him immediately.
“… “You.”
“Shiba?”
My daughter can’t even find the scratches she got from clashing with Lee Si-heon, as if they never happened. Shiva was spreading frost-like steam and having busy eyes.
“… “Aunties.”
Shiva’s blue eyes turned slightly and resonated with her sky blue.
Clear eyes. An eye that sees human relationships.
Seyoung and Byeol also see that thread. A thread that is connected to Lee Si-heon, but has traces of being modified and added in various ways.
Ah. Luckily she stuck together well.
It feels like we met a little too quickly, but it was a match made in heaven that was destined from the beginning.
They no longer had to suffer from the vagaries of fate. Even though our meeting was rough, we were born with an inseparable bond.
-Sigh.
A slight smile appeared in the corner of Shiva’s eyes. As the child kicked the air, she disappeared in a great wave of air. Seyoung and Byeol tried to scream but stopped, speechless.
“What the hell, shit. What-“
“You’re the kid I knew, right?”
Shiva can become stronger. As time goes by, her child’s stubbornness hardens into her beliefs.
While others were increasing the function of drawing a straight line, Shiva’s growth curve with different constants was unusual.
Once the vague purpose is decided, its explosive potential will bloom.
Just like her father did.
So that even the purity that remains in another dimension cannot be overlooked.
* * * * * * *
One. Two. Three.
Every time I swallowed a dead world tree, an unknown sense of expansion seemed to cut off the path to my brain.
I caught and ate the one who had been subdued by others and was on the verge of recovery. Those who did not were quickly killed and bitten by hand.
Is predation the problem? My ears were clogged, and I couldn’t hear any sound.
A crunching, scraping sound. Headache. I even had the illusion of grass and trees growing around the desert area.
The sand particles are split and appear to be numerous. The air flow was colored. The field of view, which was wide open on one side, was stained black starting from the right corner.
-Paang!
I raised my hand and hit my eardrum. Blood drips from under the pierced ear, but it feels cool.
Would it be strange to say that my brain is bloated?
The path through which the brain water and blood travel was blocked by traffic, and even my thoughts became blurred.
It’s not hard.
However, it is not a pleasant feeling.
The thorns of the crown stuck on the surface of the brain are gnawing at the soul… I never thought I would feel this way.
“Good.”
I smiled as I stopped talking. I feel like living a little better now. Even the pain of the crown feels like my own body. It was because I accepted even the pain as a part of myself.
-Jeobbuk.
As I stepped forward, the desert split apart. The iron armored body floated lightly. Hyperion’s large figure and the rising queen were looking down at me with her arrogant eyes.
Dieffenbachia, stunned and with her eyes closed. The armor was broken and there were deep scars.
‘I’ll come rescue you right away.’
Lerad.
There is only one kid left.
He is also the marble’s nemesis. If I eat more here, I feel sick.
-Pazizik.
The black magic energy expanded and the red waves of the crown turned black.
As the Mokryeong King’s residue escaped, the power that was made solely mine caused a chain reaction within my Danjeon. The deepening hallucination made the world like a mirror and reflected my image.
The pupils are white. When I opened my mouth, my tongue and teeth were not visible.
A body with only an outer shell and no internal organs. The inside was just pitch black. Something resembling a black hole that appears when you open your mouth.
Does transcend the body mean losing one’s form?
Like the Hyperion you see over there.
【…】
“…”
Its startled eyes turn to me. The magic power that was urgently raised rushed out, ready to unleash a deadly attack on me.
-Kugung, boom!
The air swirled, and my surroundings turned into a vacuum. The wind spirals, leaving behind a solid white line. The energy of mana fluctuated.
Complete assimilation.
-Paaaaat!
The principles of Manryu Gwijong were reached, and all power was concentrated in one place.
