Chapter 1010 – 1010. Yggdrasil (7)
“Let’s attack first and move up from our side.”
The prophecy given to Han Ga-eul was a war in which she would be bombarded.
But what if we attack first?
The prophecy itself of being bombarded will go wrong and cease to exist.
Well, this is a story about when our side that invaded did well…
After hearing my words, the king bowed with a stern expression without any sign of embarrassment.
“Yes, I will prepare right away.”
Anyone who sees it will think that I am the king and the king are a subject.
However, no one around me intervened in the conversation between me and the king.
Everyone knows it.
The king is the ruler of Umbra, but at the same time, he is no different from my subordinate…
And the king never forgot his position.
“Shall we prepare soldiers?”
“No. Just prepare your soldiers to defend the city in case of emergency.”
“Then the advance…”
I shrugged my shoulders and smiled.
“It’s enough for me alone.”
Not only the surrounding members, but also the subjects waiting next to the king were excited.
‘It’s actually more troublesome to drag the soldiers along…’
It is much more convenient to go alone than to take useless personnel.
And above all…
“You know? It’s okay for me to go alone.”
“… I know it very well.”
The king also knew well that I had control.
And you probably know very well how powerful control is…
‘I tested it on elves… There won’t be any problem.’
I took a week off and tested my dominance at the same time.
He exercised control over the elves working in the establishment on the 3rd floor and the elves held on the 4th floor.
And the result…
‘Wait. ‘My slaves!’
My dominance was able to completely subjugate the elves.
In the 5th floor, dominance was not something that created a relationship between superiors and class differences.
The relationship between God and humans.
That was the difference between those who had control and those who did not.
The elves who had been spitting and cursing at me before instinctively realized that I had control, and as soon as they looked at me, they held me up as if they were worshiping me.
As if welcoming God…
‘That’s why Stella had a hard time with Wedlock.’
Stella’s total dominance is 40%.
The remaining 30% seemed to be held by other nobles, and the remaining 29% was held by Wedlock.
Stella probably already knew that 1% can be obtained from the 4th floor boss dungeon.
‘So are we continuing to wage war?’
It was a reasonable idea.
Umbra receives help from the summoner.
And dungeons were the exclusive property of summoners.
They would have continued to induce war in order to somehow prevent them from clearing the dungeon.
‘What… I understand how the elves feel.’
The 5th floor elves were the worst enemies of the 4th floor Umbra nation.
A thousand years ago… Because of King Baron’s massacre, they could never become closer.
In addition, although King Baron suffered from dementia, he maintained his throne until recently.
Rather than diminishing, the resentment that has already reached its maximum will remain deeply embedded in the roots of one’s soul.
‘That is that, and this is this.’
Still, I had no intention of siding with the elves.
After King Baron died, the elves who had a grudge against him met the gravekeeper and took out all their grudges.
I had no intention of absolving the elves’ descendants of several generations past from what they had done.
Once the plan has been decided.
“I’ll go first and sort out the situation.”
If war can be prevented, it must be prevented.
I am praised as the hero of Umbra, and at the same time…
‘Even if it’s to protect my property!’
[…]
[…]
He was also an honorary noble here.
My temporary residence and property are piled up like a mountain in Umbra.
Even if it is property you will not use, you cannot tolerate even a slight scratch on a gold coin.
As I spoke, the king gave his ministers various looks and gave orders.
Everyone started moving in unison.
And in that chaotic situation, party members came up to me and talked to me.
“Suho, I want to go too.”
“Mister, me too.”
“Me too…”
All the members said they would follow me.
I opened my mouth with a slightly worried expression.
“It could be dangerous…”
The reason I wanted to go alone was because my safety was guaranteed.
With my control, the safety of the party members will be no problem.
But just in case… If something goes wrong because there is something I don’t know, everyone is in danger.
Despite my words of concern, the party members…
“I still want to go.”
“That’s right. There may be something helpful like last time.”
Everyone stuck close to me and showed a strong will to accompany me.
In the end, I couldn’t reject the party members’ opinions and nodded.
“Okay.”
I didn’t intend to just refuse.
I was just worried.
‘I don’t have to worry about Hayeon and the other kids… Mr. Yuha, I think he will be in good health…’
While thinking that, I noticed Midwinter staring at me from a slight distance.
Midwinter stares at me blankly, but when I look at him, he quickly turns his head.
‘… Should I take him with me?’
I don’t know what the 5th floor is.
This means that depending on the situation, you may be able to stay for a few days.
And above all, there is a person on the 5th floor that I wish I could meet so much.
‘Okay… I have to take it with me at least for midsummer.’
Thinking like that, I spoke to Midwinter.
“How… Do you want to go together?”
I asked worriedly.
And in response to my question, Midwinter smiled and said that she was happy that I had asked her a question as well.
“Huh! “I want to go too!”
“It could be as dangerous as last time?”
“Well, what do you think? Are there any places in Yggdrasil that are not dangerous?”
Even though she must have been traumatized when she was chased by Loki, Midwinter showed a lively appearance as if she had overcome it.
Loki, who was on my waist, chuckled and said.
“Khehehehe! “I haven’t tasted anything scary yet!”
I laughed inwardly at Loki’s words without even realizing it.
It wasn’t just wrong.
Even though I experienced something so terrible in the labyrinth, I can’t believe I’m still so cheerful…
On the other hand, I was also thankful.
The fact that Midwinter showed up her courage and followed me is proof that she believes in me.
I looked at Midwinter who trusted me and nodded her head.
“Okay, let’s go together. And… Please keep this in mind. Stay close behind me.”
“Hehe, okay!”
Midwinter jumped up and clung to me.
Before we knew it, Midwinter was no longer the wary, angry woman she appeared to be when we first met.
Hehe.”
Before she knew it, she had transformed into a girl whose charm was flowing all over her body.
.
.
The preparation time was short.
The fact that she recognized the war through prophecy also meant that time was running out.
As soon as I and my party members finished preparing, we headed to the bridge under the guidance of the soldiers.
Sky bridge.
At first, I thought it was just named because it was a bridge leading to the sky.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, I could see how foolish that thought was.
“And… “It’s a real cloud.”
As its name suggests, the cloud bridge was made of real clouds.
A bridge so large that hundreds of people can stand in a row and walk side by side comfortably.
A bridge made of such clouds stretched out in a spiral shape toward a five-story floating island floating in the sky.
Ardia, who was guarding the bridge in advance, gave us a brief explanation.
“It looks very weak on the outside, but it’s stronger than you think.”
Material that looks like cotton candy.
However, when I actually raised my leg, it was solid enough to feel stable.
“It can withstand even if thousands of people come down from the 5th floor at the same time, so don’t worry about it collapsing.”
Ardia wasn’t worried about fighting the elves, perhaps because she believed in our skills.
After hearing Ardia’s explanation, we…
“Now, shall we go?”
“Yes!”
I slowly started to climb the skybridge.
For your information, when going up the skybridge, it wasn’t just the party members who went up.
There were additional people.
The first is Pegasus.
Puheeheehee!
For the past week, every time I stopped by the 5th floor, I met him and trained him by stroking his mane.
And as a result of that training…
Puhihihihi!
I was able to make it perfectly into my Pegasus.
“Tsk!”
Pegasus did not refuse at all even though I rode on his back without permission.
No, I actually liked it.
Puhi heh~
A head that shakes to be stroked again.
I got on the saddle and started stroking Pegasus’s mane.
Pegasus playing happily.
I looked at Pegasus and spoke to the party members walking next to him.
“Do you want to ride?”
“Uh? “Aren’t we supposed to not be able to ride?”
As Min Ha-yeon said, Pegasus never allowed anyone else except me to board it.
No matter how much I was recognized as the owner, I couldn’t do anything that I couldn’t do.
But there were exceptions.
The exception is…
“They say it’s okay if we ride together. “Get in front of me one by one.”
Even those who boarded with me were allowed.
“I want to ride!”
“Me too, me too!”
The party members who heard me smiled and started playing rock, paper, scissors.
I am beyond the appearance of those party members… I looked up at the sky bridge.
There is still another year to go.
‘What… The elves haven’t appeared yet, so it’ll be okay.’
I thought so and checked behind me.
About twenty elves were following behind us with their heads down.
A humiliating expression.
But the faces of the elves who saw my face…
“Hey…”
In an instant, fear began to lurk.
The ability to dominate elves just by looking at them.
‘Dominion… It’s really amazing.’
I was once again amazed at the greatness of his dominance.
As I looked at the elves like that, the party members’ rock-paper-scissors game was over.
“Ahh, I won!”
The first passenger happened to be in the middle of winter.
Rather, it’s a strange relationship that becomes more awkward the more you get closer.
Midwinter approached me awkwardly and asked carefully.
“… Can I ride?”
“Of course.”
“Wow!”
I immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
Pegasus suddenly felt a weight on his back and complained once, but did not make a fuss.
After carrying her in the middle of winter in front of her, I carefully hugged her.
“Now, spread your legs and take good posture.”
“Yes…”
Midwinter spread her legs and took a seat on her saddle.
I hugged my waist tightly in the middle of winter.
“Huh…”
When I hug her waist, she moans in the middle of winter.
I said with a smile at those midwinter groans.
“Now, pet it once.”
“Gwae, is it okay? If you get upset and make a fuss…”
Midwinter was already well aware of Pegasus’ violent personality.
Pegasus refuses the touch of someone who is not his master.
However, I alleviated their worries by holding their hand, which was filled with worries in the middle of winter.
“Are you okay. I will pet you too. Try it.”
“Yes…”
Midwinter received my encouragement and started stroking the white horse’s mane.
Purr!
A harsh tourejil spitting out as if he sensed the touch of midwinter.
However, as my hand moved side by side, the rough Tourezil began to become more and more calm.
Purr…
A mysterious reaction.
But fortunately, there was no riot or anything.
Midwinter stroked the horse’s rich mane and began to laugh like a child.
“This… It’s really soft.”
Even when riding on an ordinary horse, people are amazing.
However, he is riding a Pegasus that seems like he has never had a relationship in his life, and is even stroking the horse’s mane.
I had become like a child because of an experience I had never experienced in my life.
After riding Pegasus for a while like in the middle of winter…
“Suho.”
“Huh?”
Min Hayeon called me.
At first, I thought it was time to take a turn…
“… “I came on time.”
I could tell that wasn’t the case by looking at the advancing elf army in the distance.
