Chapter 762 – Chapter 699 – The Second Task of the World Tree!
The first task of the World Tree is over.
Although it didn’t look like what I wanted. Still, it is an unmistakable fact that Beritra was killed by my last shot.
Without leaving a single bone in this world, he turned to dust like a hero eater and disappeared.
Even if you saw it right in front of your eyes, I don’t think Raella, the world capital, will be very dissatisfied…
But even so, my aura was somehow very uncomfortable.
Ummm~ This is so… I’m sure it ended the way I wanted…
But to think it would end without receiving a proper attack. Does this feel like something?
Originally, what I was thinking was a soul-to-soul encounter with the guy risking his life while blocking the sea side so he couldn’t escape. But instead of getting hit, it became a dog fight where you chase and defeat the guy who runs away…
I never thought it would be such an out of shape battle. No, isn’t that kind of an idiot with a body like that?
Because it was the kind of body that could withstand defeat all day long. Had it been fought properly, it would have been an incredible battle that lasted for days…
To have such a disappointing fight with such a body. Brittra, that bastard, I don’t know what the hell he was doing.
“Ha. It’s a pity~ I was going to slice that huge body right after it hit the ground…”
“That’s right. I thought it would be an opportunity to use mannequins in battle for the first time…”
“I was thinking of testing the technique of using mass-produced machines, too. I really regret it.”
Except for Lisbeth and Ceres, who were airborne parties, the negative beasts prepared various preparations to attack Vritra on the ground.
As they looked at the place where Beritra disappeared, they let out a sigh of regret.
Yeah… My negative numbers also had a lot of different things prepared.
Even the non-combatants Lyanna, Sera, and Genesia taught them how to use swords, and they had a lot of energy. Didn’t that all become a joke?
This fight started in earnest when the air party knocked Vritra to the ground…
Lyanna’s mannequin charge, Peyen’s drug injection, and the combined attack of food souls… I was thinking of testing a lot of things that I hadn’t used in battle. But I can’t even use one of them…
Of course, I’m glad my negative numbers ended unscathed. Still, it’s a pity that it ended so badly.
“…But it is strange. Why on earth did that guy run at the World Tree while ignoring the demon lord?”
Among the negative beasts on the ground, Genesia was sighing with the most regretful expression on her face.
Negative beasts gathered by Genesia’s side, and they all began to exchange opinions with expressions of bewilderment.
“I don’t think we will lose. Still, looking at the way he withstood the demon lord’s attack, he seems to have been quite strong… But why did he choose…?”
“That Hero Eater, what kind of manager were you talking about? Does that mean the world tree?”
“Certainly, the World Tree is the manager of this world…But he never spoke of himself that way.”
“More than that. That guy seems to know a bit about the world tree. Wasn’t it a bit subtle to say he attacked the World Tree?”
“It felt like he wasn’t calling the person he attacked, but someone he knew… Like something clinging to him…”
“What? So, you’re saying that the world tree tricked us?”
“The last time she met the original girl, she said that she would look at the situation because she had no idea about the demon king… But did the world tree change her mind in the meantime…”
Umm… So… Everyone’s suspicions about the World Tree and Raella have deepened… That’s roughly the situation, right?
Well, this is a strange situation no matter who sees it. The target who dared to entrust me with subjugation as a task went and whined as if it was unfair.
I don’t think it’s too sloppy to say that he cheated on me… But I can’t help but suspect that, in such a situation…
Hmm. Good. After all, this is the next face-to-face encounter with the World Tree. I’ll go and listen to what you’re thinking.
I don’t think that’s possible since I knew this Demon King… But if he was trying to deceive me with some kind of arrogant thought…
Then, at that time, the elves and the world’s troubles should show a good example. Train the females to the point of going crazy, and only turn them into livestock when you deal with males that are close to you.
“Hmm. Shall we go in now? Everyone will be tired from running all day, so go in and take a rest. I’m going to meet the world tree in the meantime.”
As I gestured to enter, the negative numbers followed me, leading the pitch horses.
As I approached the entrance of the royal road with the negative beasts, quite a number of guards gathered with Raella as if they were waiting for me.
“…Thank you for your effort. Demon King. Thanks to that, we elves have one less thing to worry about.”
“Huh… Really? You mean he was your concern?”
“Yes. It was a very big threat that we had no way to deal with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Hmm… How come the way you speak is very suspicious~
And why did the guards bring so many? Didn’t everyone gather around the world tree until my assignment was over?
So far, you’ve just met me without an escort. He suddenly came out with a lot of thoughts as if he was thinking about something else…
Are you still suspicious of this? But it’s strangely polite to be suspicious. I really don’t know what the hell you’re thinking
“…You must be very tired, but… The World Tree side wants you to proceed with the next task right away. You don’t seem to be seriously hurt, so let’s meet right away.”
Look at this Before I could even speak, the world tree called me?
It’s right after the battle, you want to meet right now? Isn’t this a lack of consideration?
Of course, I was thinking of going to see you right away. Still, in a situation where they tell you to take a break first, to come out like this…
You don’t think I’m tired, do you? Except for Eser of the World Tree right now, he’s not particularly injured, so he’s in a very lively state?
Well, yes I’ll know where to go to meet you. Let’s see how great of a being he is to tell this Demon Lord to come and go.
“Good. Then where can I go? Can we just go near the World Tree?”
“There is a place where you can talk to the World Tree, which is only allowed for me and a few elves. I will guide you there.”
“Well, whatever. Let me guide you somewhere.”
As soon as Raella turned around her, soldiers in colorful armor rallied her ranks as if to protect her.
Among them, some soldiers approached the negative numbers and talked to them as if avoiding their eyes.
“You guys are welcome to follow us. We will guide you to a place where you can rest comfortably.”
“…Huh~? Yeah~?”
“…Huhu…♥ Well, it’s a place where you can rest…”
Looking at the males who don’t seem to be facing each other on purpose, my negative numbers giggling as if they’re trying to figure something out.
There, Yew Wah, ringworm, and Clea came up to me and began whispering so that only I could hear them.
“Hang this around your neck and go, Demon King. It is like a talisman made by Bonnyeo and Baekseon together.”
“I can’t see the emotions of the males properly. Everyone seems to be wearing magic or equipment that can escape my eyes.”
“It’s as I told you about the World Tree in advance. If you think something is strange, don’t look at it and use all your might.”
Oops After all, my negative numbers are very reliable. I thought you had prepared this kind of amulet before you knew it.
I thought the two of you were fiddling with something. You mean that’s what makes this amulet?
Puch. I don’t know what it is, but if it’s a talisman made by Yew Wah and Baekseon, who know a lot about the World Tree, you won’t have to worry about the World Tree doing anything stupid.
Rather, I’m worried about my negative numbers… Hmm. You mean Clea’s demonic eyes don’t work properly…?
“…I don’t think my negative numbers will be affected… But everyone is a little tired. If you feel that something is dangerous, use Sera’s skill to get away immediately. In particular, Lisbeth and Ceres must have consumed a lot of tesser while using magic, so stick together and protect them one by one.”
“Yes. All right. Still, everyone’s level has risen quite a bit from this hunt. I will endure as much as I can.”
“Hmm. Okay. There are also ringworm and ringworm, so you don’t have to worry too much… I’ll allow you to attack females if you need to. As much as possible so you don’t get hurt. Got it?”
“Whoops♥ Don’t worry♥ I’ll call the original woman’s food spirits if it happens, and I’ll go wild♥”
Hmm. Okay. Yewhwa’s food souls also have Rafina’s mass production machines. Even if hundreds or thousands of people come, it won’t be a big problem.
The problem is that it’s like a trap that my negative numbers are hard to deal with… But there won’t be such a trap anyway, right?
There’s no way I can do anything about my negative numbers with traps, and I’m also with Yeo-hwa and Baekseon, who were divine beasts. So even if there are some traps, it won’t be too much of a problem for everyone.
Above all, if you want to be in danger, you can avoid it with Sera’s portal. So don’t worry too much, I’ll have to meet the world tree quickly.
“Hmm. Talisman Thank you, Yew Wah. Ringworm. Then, I’ll be back soon.”
So I greeted her with my negatives, and I started following her right behind La Ella.
Then, guarding Raella’s back, the soldiers sticking to my sides as if escorting a sinner.
I got irritated because there were no females and dull males stuck together, but I clicked my tongue and somehow pushed the irritation away.
Whoa… To think that male offspring, not even females, dared approach within 1m of me…
Tsk. Even if you feel bad, you have to be patient a little longer. It seems that the World Tree and Lyla have prepared something.
It’s enough to check what the females have prepared to go wild. So, even if it annoys me, let’s forgive these guys generously. Like the merciful Demon King.
…Ah. Fuck. Inferior male odor. Even if I forgive the others, I won’t be offended by these guys. I’ll remember them and make Raella kill them herself.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
How long did it take to hang out with such annoying males?
After walking for a long time to the point where I wondered if I had lost my way, I was able to arrive at a strange entrance where a strange light leaked out.
“…Here it is. If you go inside, you can contact and talk with the consciousness of the World Tree.”
Ugh… Well, I know we can have a conversation… Isn’t this Esser too thick?
My body is heavy, but the air feels so stuffy… I feel like I’m going to vomit, really.
…But this isn’t the position of the World Tree’s pussy, is it?
“Ha. Yes… But, am I the only one going in?”
“Yes. We plan to go to the place where the elves are gathered and wait after the Demon King enters.”
“Huh. I mean… What. Okay. Then see you later.”
I’m not sure if he really intends to wait… Well, that’s it, you’ll know when you meet the World Tree.
If you do something suspicious, you can come out and make them pay for it. For now, I just have to worry about meeting the World Tree.
“Let’s see… Oh…!? This…!?”
The moment I passed by the strangely expressionless Raela and slowly stepped into the room where I met the World Tree.
Before I could turn around and wave her hand at Raella, my surroundings were suddenly covered in light.
It was a strange feeling, as if I had moved somewhere just by stepping into her.
The moment I checked a room full of light, where I could not distinguish the top, bottom, left and right, let alone the floor.
“I waited. Devil. No, Earth humans. Jeong Se-ma.”
A female voice, like a machine, echoed in my head.
