Chapter 1795 – 1795. Fate
Following the elf maid, I arrived at a back door on the first floor. The maid stopped in front of the door and bowed politely.
“My role ends here. Lady Theresia is waiting for you beyond this door.”
The elf maid spoke in a clear, precise tone. Judging by her demeanor alone, she didn’t seem like an ordinary maid. Well, considering she was an elf, she must have lived a long time, so it was perhaps natural.
“Why is Theresia looking for me? Do you know?”
I asked her, hoping to glean some other information. She replied calmly,
“I was only ordered to guide you here.”
“…Then what’s beyond this back door? Looking at the mansion’s structure, it doesn’t seem like a room?”
“There is the World Tree and Lady Theresia’s garden. Lady Theresia mainly rests there.”
“…A garden. Come to think of it, there wasn’t a garden in front of the mansion.”
Gardens are usually in front of mansions. They’re mostly made to show off and for aesthetic purposes.
“Lady Theresia is waiting.”
“I know, don’t rush me. How many years have you worked in this mansion? You don’t seem like a newbie.”
“……About 250 years.”
A maid with 250 years of experience. Her absurd career made me chuckle.
I fiddled with my smartphone. Should I capture this elf now?
‘No. Right now, it’s Theresia. I need to focus on that bitch.’
It’s much easier and faster to dominate the highest authority first. I opened the door. It didn’t matter what Theresia thought of me. I had the elf domination training app. As long as she was an elf, I had the absolute upper hand.
I stepped through the door. A fragrant floral scent assaulted my nose. As expected of a garden, it was full of flowers. There were many flowers, but I couldn’t recognize any of them. They were all flowers I had never seen before.
The most noticeable thing in this garden was the World Tree in the back. A huge tree over 50 meters tall.
‘The World Tree in this world is nothing special.’
I looked at the World Tree with a nonchalant gaze, then lowered my eyes. Theresia was below the World Tree, in the center of the garden.
‘Her body is as alluring as ever.’
The clothes she was wearing were enough to make a prostitute blush, how could that be the body of a lord? I inwardly admired her as I approached.
“I heard the Lord of Psychote summoned me.”
Her turquoise eyes, similar to Hanel’s, turned to me. But her gaze was more serious and profound than Hanel’s.
“What did you do to Hanel?”
She came straight at me. I hid my guilty conscience and replied,
“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden….”
My mind was in turmoil. Did Hanel say something about me? But that was impossible since there was an absolute non-disclosure order.
“I am that child’s mother. That child was very wary of you. I heard you are the hero’s friend. What is your true identity?”
She was convinced that I was the one who turned Hanel into a slut.
“Haha. I’m just Park Suho’s friend.”
Swoosh.
A breeze blew from the back of the garden. The wind shook the branches of the World Tree. A refreshing sound echoed. What was amazing was that even with the wind blowing like this, not a single leaf fell from the World Tree.
“That’s a lie.”
She said in a calm tone.
“You and the hero are not friends. At least, you don’t think so.”
“Lord. What do you know about me and Park Suho? Park Suho and I were born on Earth and went to the same school.”
“I am currently resonating with the World Tree.”
“Ah. I see.”
But what does that have to do with anything? Is she trying to change the subject?
“While resonating with the World Tree, I can discern the truth. All your deceptions will not work on me.”
“……”
My mind started working quickly. What was the possibility that her words themselves were a deception? Looking at her calm eyes, it didn’t seem like a lie. Besides, she mentioned the power of the World Tree. I knew nothing about her or the World Tree.
After pondering, I sighed and asked her,
“Hah. What is your purpose? Why did you call me here?”
“I can see the future.”
“Is that also a power of the World Tree?”
“It is a power granted by the World Tree. Of course, the future I can see is limited, but the World Tree always shows me important futures.”
“Is the future you saw related to me?”
Her clear turquoise eyes sparkled. As if she was trying to see through my heart.
“There is an impudent person who seeks to subjugate me and dare to dominate the Psychote elves. Unfortunately, I do not know the identity of that person. Strangely, that person’s appearance was not visible in the future either. I suspect that person is you.”
“You seem almost certain.”
“No. I am not certain. So, tell me your purpose. Or, if you don’t want to, you can declare it here. That you will do nothing to our elves.”
“I will do nothing to the elves!”
“You are trying to deceive me to the end. But that answer is enough for me.”
Theresia slightly raised her elegant staff and tapped it on the ground. Theresia’s mana spread. Her mana caressed the flowers planted in the garden and headed towards the World Tree. The World Tree, having received the mana, spread a new energy. An energy purer than mana, and therefore more foreign, spread into the garden.
Whoooosh.
The space slightly trembled. Seeing that, I realized what had happened.
“A barrier?”
“You have excellent insight. I didn’t expect you to recognize it so quickly.”
“I’ve had a lot of experience with this. It seems to be cut off from the outside… Are you planning to kill me here?”
“I can do anything for my people. Even if it means ruining my relationship with the hero… I must avoid an unsettling and terrible future.”
Lightning Style (雷天流) Ten Thousand Thunders (卍雷).
I launched a surprise lightning attack. The lightning that tore through the air didn’t reach her body. A transparent barrier appeared in front of her, blocking the lightning.
‘Hmm. Should I run?’
For a moment, that thought crossed my mind. She was an S-class. She was a much more skilled opponent than Chad Lovell, the American S-class I had faced before. That guy was an S-class, but his skills were lacking compared to a true S-class hunter.
‘No. This could be an opportunity.’
This might be the first and last chance to meet Theresia, the lord of the Psychote Elven territory, one-on-one.
“You know what? Hanel’s life is in my hands. I can kill Hanel right here, right now.”
“Let me tell you again. I can see through your deceptions.”
I said it just in case, but it didn’t work at all. I couldn’t shake her with words. This was not good. It also meant that Theresia had an overwhelming advantage in the psychological aspect.
‘On the contrary, the more I talk, the more disadvantageous I become.’
Being able to distinguish the truth of words meant that she could obtain definite information from the words I carelessly uttered.
Whoooom.
A subtle trembling of the air. This was a vibration caused by mana. Theresia’s mana was being concentrated in one place, becoming regular, and being reborn as magic.
Crackling.
A spear of lightning was fired at me from the center of the magic circle. As if to repay the lightning I had launched earlier.
I summoned the Hwaryeon Flying Blades and held them in my hand. I extended the Hwaryeon Flying Blades towards the lightning spear. The lightning spear touched the edge of the Hwaryeon Flying Blades.
Lightning Style (雷天流) Lightning Reversal (雷反).
I controlled the lightning that was trying to travel through the blade to me. The lightning didn’t even touch my hand and was captured by the blade, turning red.
Lightning Style (雷天流) Lightning Flash (雷閃).
The red lightning flew towards Theresia along with a blue sword aura.
Theresia lightly shook her staff. Wind fell from the sky, pressing down on the sword aura. The red lightning writhed on the ground as if resisting the wind, but it was a meaningless resistance.
“You controlled the lightning and counterattacked with a new attack. I understand that you have the ability to manipulate lightning. And that you are quite skilled at it. But it doesn’t matter. I just won’t use lightning.”
A cold aura emanated from her. The cold aura raced across the floor towards me.
Crackling.
I created lightning on the Hwaryeon Flying Blades and scattered it on the floor. The lightning burned the approaching cold aura.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
Theresia narrowed her brows at my words.
“…What do you mean?”
“A chance to surrender. Kneel before me and surrender. Then I will guarantee the minimum rights of the elves. Let’s make this easy.”
“Minimum rights…. What kind of rights are you talking about?”
“I won’t treat you as slaves.”
I was really making a big concession. But Theresia didn’t seem to understand my words, her furrowed face didn’t relax.
“How absurd.”
Her tone changed. There was suppressed anger in her voice, and her serious gaze became sharp. Her mana became fierce, as if in agreement with her anger.
“To think you truly believe that…. There is a limit to arrogance.”
“I thought it would be easy since you can discern the truth…. You don’t understand even when I give you a chance.”
I took out my smartphone from my pocket. Immediately after, a single root of a tree shot out from the ground, aiming for my heart.
[Using Moment (刹那). Remaining stacks: 11]
I easily dodged to the side and operated my smartphone to run the elf app.
Then, I took a picture of Theresia with the smartphone camera, who was standing upright as if she would never back down.
