Chapter 340 – The Beginning of a Full-Scale Invasion
#340.
Helya approached with leisurely steps.
“Stay still. If you keep resisting, you might end up in a bad shape? Other than you, of course.”
“… What is your purpose?”
“You. Is it natural So, if you don’t want your party to get hurt, follow me quietly. Okay?”
“…”
Silence was the answer. Surin had no other options. As she was about to turn towards Helya, Chorin shouted.
“No! Mom! Don’t go!”
“Chorin…”
“If you hold on a little longer, Mr. Gaon will come. Therefore… !”
Everyone in the party had hope that even if it was a mighty demon, they could somehow defeat it if they had Gaon.
However, Gaon is currently focused on fighting Varg, so he cannot join them. Chorin’s words only stimulated her Helia.
“Hmm? It’s noisy. The flying flies are buzzing!”
Kwaji support!
“Aaaaagh!”
As she nervously stamped her feet, the force of gravity that weighed her down intensified, placing a tremendous load on the bones of her entire body.
The floor made up of her world tree split open, and Chorin, unable to bear her pain, let out her screams.
As if she hesitated when she hesitated, Surin immediately ran to Helia and ejaculated.
“Please stop it! I will follow you. So leave her daughter alone!”
“Okay? Didn’t you do that a long time ago? Your daughter has been hurt a lot because of you. It would have been fine if I had spoken a little faster. Ahahaha! Follow me!”
Helya formed a gate in the air with her hysterical laughter, and she and Surin disappeared.
As soon as the gate disappeared, her gravity returned to normal and her party regained freedom.
Isabella gnashed her teeth.
“Fuck… I was careless. What year is that?”
The gravity magic used by the mysterious succubus was incomparable to what Martin Rougester used in combination with telekinesis.
It was to the point where I wondered if the level of gravity that was really hard to even lift a finger would crush my lungs like this.
Even her magic was blocked by the pink magic that lay on her floor, so it’s no wonder she couldn’t do anything.
As Isabella was suppressing her anger by chewing on her helplessness, her Ha-yeon ran to Cho-rin.
“Sister! Sister, are you okay!?”
“Ugh… ! It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“Huh… Sorry. This happened because of me… !”
“No. It’s not because of you. It’s because of that woman So don’t cry.”
Chorin was exposed to gravity that was much stronger than others, but thanks to her unique formidable healing ability, she was unscathed.
The pain was so severe that she nearly passed out, but she persevered through her fortitude.
Chorin recalled her Surin, and she bit her teeth hard.
‘Mom…’
She broke up for 4 years, and now it’s only been 1 year since she reunited, but she broke up again with this unreasonable thing.
It was a strange place where it was difficult to even guess where it was beyond the gate.
She said with a feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
“The place I saw over the gate earlier. Does anyone know?”
“Beyond the gate… ? I don’t know.”
“Me too…”
She gave one or two answers, but none of them were what she was looking for. In the end, the moment she was about to get frustrated, wondering if there was no way, Li Mian opened her mouth.
“It is the root of the world tree.”
“… Yes?”
“There is an empty space at the center of the World Tree. I only went in once, following Ariel-sama. Probably right.”
Chorin’s eyes, having tasted her hope on the verge of her frustration, instantly filled with life. She jumped up and walked over to Li Mian.
“Do you know how to get there?”
“That… I don’t know They said that it was such an important place that no one could enter. She said that she was a direct descendant of the Sabrina family, or whether or not she would enter once or twice in her lifetime…”
“That…”
Since it’s an important place, no one seems to know how to enter except for Ariel.
Chorin, who was about to drape her shoulders in disappointment, brought her to her senses. It is still too early for her to easily draw conclusions and give up.
“Limien. Ariel-sama always stays in the top room, right?”
“Yes. That’s right. But why…”
“Then there must be traces of magic! Go right away!”
“Oh! Cho, Mr. Chorin! Wait a minute!”
Chorin moved as she took the path straight to the top of her. The sound of Li Mi En calling from behind her did not reach her ears at all.
***
Kwagwagwang!
The culmination of the Dwarves’ magical engineering. In the blink of an eye, a super-electronic shell fired through the air and lodged itself in Barg’s side.
It was a sight she had seen many times before, but her tongue stuck out again.
‘It’s no joke.’
The reason guns are powerful lies in the fact that they do not discriminate against people. Likewise, that cannonball was a weapon that anyone could use if they learned how to use it.
I couldn’t say it was completely the same, but in the case of Rivera, who used the power of lightning similarly, I was stunned and even looked at it blankly.
Gaon hurriedly sent her the whole tone.
– Come to your senses!
Currently, Barg is unable to fully discharge the power of the shells and loses his balance. It seems that convulsions were quite a blow.
Taking advantage of this gap, Gaon’s party and strong men dispatched from various countries were kicking the ground hard to finish it off.
Rivera also joined the procession belatedly and used her ritual skill to literally rush at lightning speed.
Chew! Viscount Chow!
Verdianne, the warrior chief under the direct control of Uriel, the Judge of Flames dispatched from Halo, scattered brilliance from her four pairs of wings and severely cut off Barg’s right hind leg.
The appearance of using the double-edged sword with blades on both sides freely and rotating without rest, leaving scars in the same place, showed off great momentum.
Of course, she is not alone.
On the other side, Rugiana was hacking away mercilessly, leaving hundreds of bloody trails.
People from all over the world were in charge of the front legs, and Rivera stabbed Barg, who was staggering with all four legs sealed.
A single bolt of lightning crossed the air, spreading a huge shockwave along with waves of thick magic power.
Barg, who had been wobbly and shaking his legs, ended up collapsing unsightly.
‘Now!’
Gaon, who had been waiting, immediately squeezed mana to form a blade of plasma and threw it at the man’s heart.
Jiji Jijik!
Rather than cutting, it felt like it was burning with tremendous heat, and the plasma very easily penetrated his hard hide and dug deep into it.
Gaon continued to advance without stopping, leaving a huge hole about 3m long, and escaped by slicing through the back.
No matter how much he is a demon of flame, as long as he exists in the material world, he cannot survive even if he loses his heart.
Barg eventually coughed up a great amount of blood and trembled until his breath stopped.
Gaon took a long breath and brushed his blood-soaked bangs roughly.
“It ended safely here.”
He has expended a lot of mental energy, but he has no time to rest.
Gaon immediately turned his back and called Rivera and Rugiana together to move to the Republic of Elbrancia.
They could be left to others to clean up, so there was no need for them to stay.
“I will move right away. Seeing as I haven’t heard from you yet, something must have happened.”
“I think the same. Additional information came in just now, but it seems that magic doesn’t work well in the pink fog. Of course, communication using magic is impossible.”
“… Then it must be dangerous. Let’s hurry.”
Since Barg is a demon who is strong in magic, most of the wizards were left behind, so most of his party who went to the Republic of El Bruncia are bound to be wizards.
However, it was said that the pink fog blocks magic at the source, so it can be seen that the current power of the party has dropped to less than half.
I had to join in before it was too late.
Gaon thought that further conversation was a luxury, so he headed towards the Republic without any measure and ran at full speed.
The surrounding landscape flashed by in an instant, and shockwaves exploded around her body.
It was a fast speed that would not even show an afterimage to the general public, but Gaon was not relieved.
‘I hope nothing happens.’
I’ve never had anything like this in my previous life. The World Tree was exposed to the Demonic Beast of the Dimension Eaters several times, and was eventually swallowed up, but that was in the distant future, and there was no such thing as now.
Pink mist. I can’t even remember an enemy with a characteristic that is easy for anyone to understand.
‘Shouldn’t have sent it instead?’
He even briefly regretted it, but if he had made that decision, he might have lost Ha-yeon’s trust.
Because that meant ignoring whatever her parents were going through.
After about 5 minutes, Gaon saw the world tree wrapped in pink fog in the distance.
The smoke rising from everywhere and the evacuation procession over the mountain tell us that what is happening is unusual.
Gaon suppressed the urge to jump right in and descended toward the head of the procession.
Strange figures suddenly appeared in the air, causing the elves to stir and chatter.
Gaon didn’t care and spoke to the elf who seemed to be her representative.
“Excuse me. I have something I want to ask you.”
“… Ask me anything I will cooperate.”
The place where the world tree is located is the home of the elves. Even though I’m leaving like this now, I think I’ll come back eventually someday.
Therefore, in order to hold on to the hope of resolving the current abnormal situation, the representative of the evacuation procession took a favorable attitude.
Gaon was glad that she had been relieved of the trouble, and she continued to ask questions.
“Do you know who spread the pink mist that enveloped the World Tree?”
“No. I do not know. Suddenly, at some point… However, it is said that the first place it was discovered was the world tree of the Romilion family. Thanks to that, the family head Taesang says that he is currently in a coma. It is right there.”
Looking in the direction the representative was pointing at, I saw the thickest pink fog.
“What about the Sabrina family? Didn’t Ariel Sabrina say anything?”
“That is… I’m not sure either. He didn’t show up until after we fled.”
“Keugh… ! So, have you ever seen a face like this? A total of four people.”
Gaon asked, holding out a picture they had taken together one day. He was taken using an excellent magic tool, so the quality was very good, so there was no confusion.
Fortunately, the representative opened his eyes wide to see what he had witnessed and nodded his head.
“Ah! I’ve seen it! I’ve definitely seen Sabrina’s family headed for the world tree. I remember them because they were such an unusual group.”
“You don’t know where they went after that?”
“Hmm… I’m sorry, but I only glanced at it before the evacuation procession left, so I don’t know more than that.”
“No. Enough is enough. Thank you for telling me. Rivera, Louisiana. Let’s go!”
I didn’t get any meaningful information, but at least I knew that the party didn’t get into trouble by leaking out on a different path.
In the end, like what happened, you can only meet them if you go to Sabrina’s family’s world tree.
Gaon moved forward without hesitation and entered the world tree surrounded by pink mist.
