Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 184

Episode 184

I walked along the path made by the trees.

The hatchling latched onto me and refused to let go.

It was even cute to see him shrinking his body to avoid touching anything like branches or grass.

The once confident hatchling looked scared.

“Are you here?”

After walking like that for about 10 minutes, several elves were waiting for me, having noticed my coming.

Thinking about their initial reactions, they were now smiling so softly that it wouldn’t be surprising to say they were different people.

I entered the village, leaving behind the people who greeted me warmly and asked if I had any difficulties.

The elves showed hostility toward strangers as if they would kill them.

He didn’t react much when he saw me.

Instead, they welcomed me with a smile and some elves gave me fruit and said I had a nice visit.

-Humans, those humans have long ears!

The hatchling came up to me and spoke to me as if asking me when I was scared.

I even took turns looking at the elves with their long, pointed ears, as if I was amazed by them.

-Those humans are more handsome… No, in my eyes, my humans are cooler!

I felt like I heard something strange, but I tried to ignore it and walked into the village.

“You came early today.”

There was an elder.

He was sowing seeds on the even ground and looked back at me as he shook off the dirt on his hands.

It would have been simple to use the power of the spirit, but he seemed very happy to work and sweat.

He stretched out his unclean hand to me.

I glanced down at the hand.

His hands, mixed with sweat and dirt, looked like they were covered in mud.

“yes. “Because the work is finished quickly.”

But I held his hand regardless.

I felt the texture of wet, moist mud.

But it didn’t really feel that bad.

It’s muddy, but I guess I should say it’s pleasantly squishy.

Anyway, I held his hand and shook it, and the elder looked at me and smiled.

“Are you going to see your mother today too?”

“yes. There’s still a lot left to do. “We have to finish it quickly.”

“There’s no need to be so hasty.”

He let go of his hand and turned away.

The sight of him straightening his back and saying ‘Eugh’ was like that of a local old man.

However, his appearance was far from his grandfather.

When I first saw him, he had wrinkles.

But what about now?

‘I feel like I have become younger as the World Tree has recovered.’

All the wrinkles disappeared and the beautiful appearance hidden between them was revealed.

It’s not true now, but surprisingly, a lot of elves have blonde hair.

The hair, which doesn’t match the forest at all, seems to match in some ways because it looks like sunlight.

“I’m not in a hurry. “The more urgent it is, the more they tell us to go back.”

“That’s a good thing. That’s right. “The more you do something in a hurry, the more things go wrong.”

He patted my shoulder, saying he thought well.

There was no dirt on his hands covering my shoulders, as if he had washed them with the power of the spirit.

“Then I will go in.”

“Okay, take care of your mother.”

I nodded and walked past him.

Roxy jumped down from the tree and caught up with me as soon as I started moving.

You don’t have to follow her, but she insists that she will give you directions.

Since she wasn’t one to listen to what I had to say, I gave up trying to persuade her and walked down the street.

“How long will you be here this time?”

“It will be the same as yesterday.”

“Aren’t you having a hard time? “You came without a single day off.”

“it’s okay.”

A meaningless conversation took place.

She kept asking questions about what she was so curious about.

If you listen carefully, it was a question without much meaning.

It was a question I had asked several times before, but it felt like a question I would ask the person I like.

‘They’ll say the elf is crazy.’

The elves I know couldn’t have done that unless they were insane.

Just simple curiosity.

That’s what I thought.

As I turned my attention away from her and headed toward the World Tree, a strange sensation enveloped me.

Sarak Sarak –

The road to the World Tree The leaves of the tree kept touching my cheek.

Something was strange.

I can’t say I went to the World Tree a lot during the week, but I was still able to get a feel for the atmosphere to some extent.

And during that time, this has never happened before.

It’s not like there wasn’t an elf next to me, and there was an elf who was still talking to me.

The forest is the elf’s friend and tries not to disturb the elf in the slightest.

So most of the time I stayed completely out of the way so nothing bothered me, but now the leaves kept coming down and blocking my eyes.

‘Wait a minute, Roxy is gone.’

As I was removing the leaves that were sticking to my face, I suddenly realized that Roxy, who had come with me, had disappeared.

I was worried that even the hatchling had become separated from me.

-Ugh… Human, this feels strange.

There was no need to worry about that.

The hatchling was so faithful that it clung to me like a leech and wouldn’t let go.

I thought it felt a bit heavy, but there was a hatchling hanging on my shoulder with both feet on it.

“This… is a bit harsh.”

If you take a leaf off, it sticks, and if you take it off again, it sticks.

But the feeling was like a blind person who has lost his eyesight groping people’s faces to recognize them.

It was quite unpleasant.

The hatchling must have hated that feeling, so it spun around and snuggled into my arms.

I hugged the heavy hatchling tightly and walked forward, pushing through the obstacles that blocked my view.

‘There’s no way the elves will suddenly confront us.’

As something like this happened right after I became separated from Roxy, I realized once again how important the existence of elves is in a forest like this.

I didn’t know how far I had to walk until I arrived at the entrance to the World Tree that I saw at first.

“What is this again?…”

The original entrance to the World Tree was ordinary, but it looked densely packed with huge trees.

It’s just that the trees are dense, but there are gaps, and as long as there are no plants or elves in the way, you can fit in.

But not now.

“Why is the wall here?”

The fact that it is a tree has not changed.

However, the color of the trees was pure white, and the trees were tightly attached to other trees, with not even a gap visible.

Above it, pure white vines were wrapped around the tree, so it seemed impossible to break it unless you were really strong.

“Is this thing moving now?”

-Human, this is alive.

The hatchling growled at the wooden castle walls.

Where the hatchling and I looked, we saw a pure white wooden fortress that was still rising from the ground and expanding its territory.

It was an amazing sight.

In an empty space, the ground splits and a pure white tree emerges.

The problem was that the trees changed the entrance and I couldn’t tell where I was.

I had to go to the World Tree, but I got lost and became lost.

In some ways, it was a miracle that we got this far.

“Am I ruined?”

I looked blankly at the wooden castle wall.

I couldn’t think of any way to overcome this situation.

No, if you look for it, it is there, but if you use that method here, the peace you just made may end up becoming Amitabha Buddha.

-Someone human is calling.

At that time, the hatchling, who was shaking in my arms, suddenly stuck out her head.

Then it escaped from my arms, flapped its wings, and rose into the sky.

“Now…”

I lowered my hand while trying to hold on to the hatchling.

The hatchling flapped its wings vigorously, and the trees along the way made way for it.

It was different from when they created a path for the elves to be considerate of their friends.

‘Are you scared?’

Even though it wasn’t alive and moving like animals or humans, and there weren’t any monsters, I felt like the trees and the entire forest were scared.

Wave and wave.

Even though there was no wind, the leaves on the trees trembled.

The vines clung to the branches to avoid touching the hatchlings, and even the grass on the ground split on both sides, exposing the dirt.

How did this happen?

I followed him, confused by the strange phenomenon.

Then I suddenly remembered that hatchlings were dragons.

‘It’s absurd even to think that plants don’t have thoughts and that they recognize dragons and run away.’

I shook my head.

Even though it was a forest of world trees, I thought that was too advanced an idea.

Rather, it would be more correct to think of the World Tree as paving the way.

Since it is the World Tree that is said to support the world, it should not be difficult to figure out the identity of the dragon.

This would be especially true if it were a world tree that had regained some of its strength thanks to my hard work.

-human. It’s here. It’s calling me here.

The hatchling stopped at one place and went straight inside.

As I was following the hatchling, I was taken aback by its sudden disappearance.

The spot where the hatchling entered was none other than a huge gray rock.

It’s also a huge rock the size of a house.

No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t worth going in, but the hatchling went in without any hesitation.

Just like that.

I tried tapping it with my hand, but the rock hit me as expected.

Real, not fake made up of fantasy.

Otherwise, there was no way I could have felt such a vivid touch.

So how did they get in?

‘No way…’

I put an aura in my eyes.

At some point, the feeling that made me feel strange returned.

Lines of countless colors appeared and I realized that the rock I was looking at was not a rock.

‘Spirit…’

Basic common sense tells us that humans cannot see spirits.

I also had to use Aura to see the spirits through lines.

Even that is seen as a line of mana.

With my own eyes, I realized that the rock in front of me was a spirit.

Brown mana was gathered together.

What looked like just a rock had arms, legs, and eyes.

The spirit’s eyes were quietly looking down at me looking at it.

Only those permitted by the spirit can enter.

The hatchling was able to enter just now because it was a dragon.

Dragons are the masters of mana, and in terms of affinity alone, they can easily chew up elves.

And even if that is not the case, the spirit senses the power of mana better than anyone else, so it recognizes the dragon and does not attack it.

“Are you testing me now?”

Unlike how he easily got out of the way for the hatchling, he didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so to me.

It was motionless in place.

As I was thinking about what to do about this, I suddenly became astonished as to why I had to worry about this.

“It’s quite annoying. “I came here to help, but you treat the person who came to help you like this?”

I sighed at the absurdity.

I didn’t do anything wrong, and I was embarrassed that I came to help and had to be treated like this.
