Episode 81 〈 Aslan’s Savior 〉
====================
-The princess chosen together with the Holy Angel will save Aslan.
The shaman’s prophecy was correct.
Centered around the summoned tree spirit, grass grew on the dry land, creating a vast meadow.
It was salvation and hope for Aslan.
The tree spirit looked down at Tinya.
He caressed the beard-like tree trunk with a curious expression.
-They’re fairies. But I never thought that a dark elf, not a high elf, would summon a spirit. It contains not only mana but also holy power. What a unique power.
The tree spirit turned his head.
He looked surprised when he saw Allen wearing bone armor.
-Is it because of that guy’s influence? So mana and holy power are combined?
Tinya’s eyes widened.
The being she summoned was not the tree spirit in front of her.
What she called upon were the ‘spirits of nature’.
The tree spirit lowered his head.
The fragrant smell of grass irritated Tinya’s nose.
“What about the tree spirit?”
-Oh, I see. The ones you called were probably other children, not me.
Small fairies emerged from among the tree spirit’s abundant blades of grass.
A wind spirit in the form of a bird.
A flame spirit in the form of a child.
An earth spirit in the form of a snake.
A water spirit in the shape of a turtle, etc.
The tree spirit was flying around or hiding among the abundant leaves, glancing at Tinya.
-Come out. I have to say hello to the contractor.
At the words of the tree spirit, they cautiously approached Tinya.
Tinya lowered her head and looked down.
The spirits up to their knees looked up at Tinya and their eyes lit up.
-haha! I came here out of curiosity because I heard that there was a child who was able to call spirits for the first time in 2,000 years. Of course, the side effects are severe because of that.
The tree spirit raised its head and smiled.
“Who are you?”
I felt a very sacred energy.
This is by no means an ordinary tree spirit.
-My introduction is late. My name is Yggdrasil, the world tree that creates balance in the world.
Tinya opened her mouth wide.
The Tree of Life that united all worlds in ancient times and connected them as one.
The source of Mother Nature that forms the center of the world and governs all nature.
The name specified in such world tree.
Yggdrasil.
The tree spirit said it was him.
“But the book says it’s a very large tree that exists in the spirit world.”
A behemoth over thousands of meters tall.
It was recorded that it was the World Tree.
-It’s like an alter ego. No matter how you are, breaking through the dimensional wall is difficult. This is simply the level of creating a body.
“Are you saying I summoned the World Tree?”
The tree spirit shook his head.
-That’s impossible. It’s just that I came out of my own volition out of curiosity because it’s been a while since someone summoned children from another dimension.
The tree spirit looked away and looked at the desolate land beyond.
A desert filled with nothing but dry land and sand.
It was a place where there was no sense of life.
The tree spirit looked away.
The one who radiated the energy of life and the one who radiated the energy of death were confronting each other.
Looking at that, the tree spirit narrowed its eyes.
The tree spirit glanced at Tinya and said.
-I understand how you felt when you summoned the children. As for me and no one else, I cannot do something that takes life. However.
The tree spirit raised his hand.
And took it down.
thud-!
The earth is shaking.
The ground cracked and water gushed out.
The waterway spread around.
The dry land became wet with water, and tree trunks began to sprout from the ground.
A lake was created and the green forest spread further.
The land around you changes.
It feels like a completely different world than just a moment ago
– we can sow life on this land.
Tinya was mesmerized by the vast expanse of nature.
The World Tree, the source of mana, combined with the sacred power, the source of life, coloring the surroundings in blue light.
“…World Tree.”
The Hashashins took off their masks and opened their mouths.
I could vividly feel the energy of nature through their skin.
The Hashashins bowed their heads and touched the ground.
It is a soft and green meadow.
The light scent of grass and the thick scent of the earth, cool breeze and warm sunlight were sprinkled around.
-I’m also an alter ego, so I can’t stay for long. That’s all you can do. So…
the tree spirit looked down at Tinya.
-Are you going to do what you want to do?
The tree spirit slammed its leg down on the ground.
The legs were rooted into the ground.
The tree spirit closed its eyes and gradually became stiff.
The 8m tall tree spirit was planted in front of Yebelium as a giant tree.
A wave of mana spread around it.
It also affected the two people who faced life and death.
“…what!”
Emperor Rahamma looked shocked at the wave of mana.
-We will transform the land of death, which even previous kings could not solve, into a bluer color more blessed than any other land! Yes, you will become the chosen land!
The shaman’s words rang in Rahamma’s mind. Also, the words ‘the worst king, the foolish king’ echoed.
Rahamma lowered his gaze.
The spirit of death disappeared and grass grew.
Tree trunks climbed up his legs.
I got creepy.
If what the shaman says is true, then he is…!
Rahamma quickly shook off the tree roots.
“This…?”
Rahamma turned his gaze forward.
The tree trunk began to surround the body of the confronting angel.
Mana vibrated around me.
It’s like protecting an angel.
“Nonsense…”
Rahamma gritted his teeth.
He shouted to the Hashashins.
“All of you must offer sacrifices to me! All of your life force…!”
Rahamma could not continue speaking.
The Hasashins kneel down and pray.
Not towards themselves, but towards the large behemoth with Tinya.
They are demi-humans. They
are spirits. They were natural beings who served and protected the world tree.
Rahamma’s face was distorted.
When he looked away, the angel’s entire body was surrounded by tree trunks and mana was shaking.
* *
The fatigue of the body is relieved. The pressure disappeared.
The fragrant smell of grass purified my mind.
What is this…? Recovery magic?
It feels like some of the penalties for Amon’s artifacts have been reduced.
I looked at Tinya with a surprised expression.
Tinya in front of the behemoth. She is holding a staff, and numerous spirits are flying around her.
-Huh? That’s it!
She was trying to summon the sacred undead in Yebelium.
And it seems that what she summoned then was not the undead, but the spirits.
It was truly astounding as it was ridiculous. It’s powerful.
I can’t believe it’s at the level of relieving the side effects of Amon’s relic.
Besides…
-Can I help you? Huh? Will I help you?
The spirits walked around me.
They were giggling and seemed as innocent as children.
As I looked, I said,
“You’re helping me?”
-I’ll help you!
The kid in the shape of a flame bounced around and touched the staff of Amon that I was holding with both hands.
In an instant, the staff was wrapped in flames.
The wind spirit wrapped itself around the whole body, and the earth and water spirits moved around.
Attributes were given.
Spirits inhabited the body.
The equipment was further strengthened.
It was a different ability from the divine.
“Slave…”
I turned my gaze and looked at Rahamma.
Rahamma’s face was angry. He was
no longer looking at me.
What he was glaring at was Tinya.
He was showing hatred towards the girl who was his daughter.
“How dare you, the king…”
Rahamma strengthened his legs.
“Oolong. “What are your intentions?”
His body bounced off.
He flew towards Tinya holding the mace.
He swung the mace to take down Tinya and the behemoth at once.
“Protect Tinya.”
I slammed my leg down.
The surrounding earth and water spirits quickly flew in.
The water spirit created a wave and hit Rahamma.
Rahamma’s entire body was caught in the water.
Also, the ground rose up right in front of Tinya, creating a wall. He lost.
Nevertheless, Rahamma did not stop.
Water surrounded him as if he had fallen into a lake, but he did not stop.
Holding even his breath, he swung the mace.
The huge wall of the earth was hit by the mace and shattered.
The water around him exploded and disappeared. That was enough.
I
was able to slow it down.
The wind spirit increased my speed. I strengthened
my feet and jumped towards where Tinya was.
I faced him right in front of the broken wall of earth.
From behind, Tinya is looking at me with startled eyes.
“This guy-!”
Rahamma raised the mace and struck
it down. I raised my staff to block it.
The mace collided with the staff.
Flames surrounding the staff spewed out. The mace, imbued with magic,
became hot and burned Rahamma’s hand black.
” “Hmm!”
Rahamma struggled to endure the pain even in the blazing flames.
The body’s condition was not normal.
The animal was gradually dying.
Unless there was a sacrifice, he would have to sacrifice his life.
The more powerful he was, the more he became. You will die.
“Stop it.”
The spirits moved at my single word.
The earth spirit grabbed Rahamma’s legs and dragged him into the ground.
The flame spirit enveloped Rahamma’s entire body and began to burn it.
The wind spirit cut Rahamma’s body like a blade.
The water spirit covered Rahamma’s face and strangled him.
Nevertheless, King Rahamma did not back down.
“…!”
Rahamma opened his mouth and muttered.
I had no idea what he was trying to say.
But he seemed to bring out all his power.
The magical power was compressed and gathered into the mace.
A strong energy of death gathered explosively around me.
The grass in the place where Rahamma was had turned black and died.
Rahamma’s hair was bleached white.
The middle-aged face completely changed into that of an old man.
Even the strong muscles shrunk, leaving only the bones.
“Ooooooooooooooooo!”
Rahamma cheered.
All the magical power he had was contained in the mace.
One final blow.
You’re probably trying to blow it.
I picked up my cane.
There couldn’t be better timing than this.
Performance of the wand. It’s time to test it.
“Die with everyone!”
He brought down his mace.
At the same time, I also swung my cane.
Mace and staff collided.
“This is the end, foolish king.”
The magic power in Rahamma’s mace disappeared so quickly that it was meaningless.
What I want to write about is ‘skill nullification.’
It was a skill added using divine energy from Amon’s staff.
It is a skill that nullifies the opponent’s skill once and the cooldown is one day.
Due to the skill effect, Rahamma’s strike was blocked very easily.
“…!”
A staff digs into the mace that has lost its magic.
The mace, which had been so strong, broke into pieces like cookie crumbs.
King Rahamma watched the scene in astonishment, as if he could not believe it.
“I… I…!”
The cane broke the mace.
Eventually, the staff struck Rahamma on the head.
thud-!
The final blow crushed the king’s face.
It dug into my cheek and sunken my cheekbone and jawbone.
Rahamma’s neck was bent and the body of Rahamma, who had become an old man, spun and bounced.
His body fell after rolling tens of meters onto the green earth.
There is no movement. Either I lost my mind or…
“Whew…”
I reached for my cane.
At the same time, the bone armor surrounding the body disappeared.
Amon’s skull worn on his head was also added to the item window.
My legs are shaking.
Although the spirit helped him, it seems he was unable to overcome the penalty.
I sat down and Tinya supported me from behind.
“Are you okay?”
“maybe.”
As I said that, I felt my eyelids becoming heavy.
I felt drowsy.
As a result of the fierce battle, the body was seeking recovery.
“Please take care of your body.”
I closed my eyes without saying those words.
I heard Tinya’s whisper in my ear.
“Of course. Thanks for your efforts.”
Relieved by those words, I fell into sleep.
* *
Tinya leaned against the large tree, hugging Allen.
She looked at Rahamma, who was lying down.
This is our second meeting.
A being who was once a father and also a king. However, now he has become a weak old man and has collapsed.
The Hashashins gathered to Rahamma’s side.
They looked down at Rahamma and shook their heads.
Knowing what that meant, Tinya hugged Allen even more.
She lifted her head and looked up at the tree.
A behemoth imbued with a tree spirit.
The ‘alter ego’ of the World Tree has settled down on this land.
If only we had this tree, we could color the barren land green.
A great hope arose in the land of death.
It was when Tinya smiled brightly.
“Tina’s father’s army.”
One of the Hashashins spoke bluntly to Tinya.
Tinya was startled and looked away.
The main body of King Rahamma’s army was coming.
The drum sounds.
Skeletons and Dullahan ghouls summoned by necromancers lined up.
Aslan’s elite warriors were approaching with blazing eyes.
And the feudal lords who commanded them also stood out.
It is Aslan’s real army with feudal lords.
Her face turned pale.
“Oh my god! You have to jump out! You said you were the prince, right? What do we do now? Yes?”
Hans shouted, covering his head.
Despite his question, Rupel, who was next to him, did not open his mouth.
The 3rd prince, Rupel, was entranced and approached Allen, who was sleeping with Tinya.
He looked at Allen blankly for a while. The sights I had seen so far were unbelievable.
A maniac who was exiled for trying to rape women and blaspheming God summoned the sacred undead and defeated King Rahamma.
He… was a being who would become stronger than the Crown Prince and Celt.
Rupel felt his fists tighten as he looked at Allen like that.
He felt hope, albeit a little bit.
‘Allen, if it were you…’
“Prince! It should jump out. yes?”
At Hans’ words, Ruppel came to his senses and looked at Aslan.
It was on a different level from the little brats I had dealt with just a moment ago.
A skilled and sturdy army.
Rupel knew that not only could he not stop them, he couldn’t escape either.
but.
“…I don’t think there’s any need to run away.”
Rupel smiled bitterly and turned his head.
“It looks like reinforcements have arrived.”
Tinya and Hans Hasashin turned their heads at those words.
The advance of Rahamma’s main force stopped.
The commanders who commanded the Aslan army admired Mother Nature with wide eyes.
But that was only for a moment.
Another army was approaching to the left of the direction they were advancing from.
The feudal lords were terrified when they saw the army.
“A prosperous kingdom…!”
thud…! Thump…!Thump…!
The drum sounds.
Additionally, a sacred hymn that matched the song rang out.
The priests raised their staffs and sang hymns, and in the scorching heat, the paladins marched silently in formation, wearing armor.
The golden cross, the symbol of the Holy Empire, flashed light.
Holy power spread to the surroundings, boosting the morale of the army.
A few paladins in golden armor.
Golden Cross.
A heretic inquisitor wearing red robes and a bird-beak mask.
Red Cross.
Chasers wearing green robes and masks.
Green Cross.
Imperial guards wearing silver armor.
Holy Cross.
And an army of 1,000 Paladins.
Heavenly army.
In addition, there are dwarf legions and over 10,000 elite troops of the Holy Empire.
A person wearing golden armor who commands the armies of the Holy Emperor.
Sword King Oscar Baldr.
And Charlotte Herise, head of the White Cross, assists him.
They participated in the battlefield.
