Episode 213 Ifrit (5)
Kugugugugu!
The ground gently split and a long horn like a telephone pole rose up. It was the very familiar horn of Earth Reno.
“what?”
-why?
‘I didn’t summon it.’
I couldn’t believe my eyes. Earth Reno, who appeared after splitting the ground, was clearly his spirit, but he had never summoned it.
-Really?
‘I didn’t summon it and I didn’t feel it.’
There were no enemies and nothing to fight, so there was no reason to suddenly summon Earth Reno. The guy literally showed up alone.
-Then….
‘I think the system called.’
Before Earth Reno appeared, a ssage appeared offering the spirit’s reward in the desired way.
It seed like he was trying to do sothing to Earth Reno instead of the new spirit.
Cooung.
Earth Reno ca up to the ground and made eye contact with Baek Woo-jin.
His eyes were as calm as usual, but they contained gratitude for Baek Woo-jin.
[Crying.]
Earth Reno bowed his head to Baek Woo-jin and then turned around. I slowly approached the World Tree as if possessed by sothing.
“It’s Earth Reno, right?”
“How can it be that size…”
“Where did it co from?”
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the huge Earth Reno.
The size of Earth Reno was large, but the reason why Earth Reno suddenly appeared was unknown.
“This is Earth Reno of the benefactor. “Get out of the way.”
“Ah….”
“The benefactor’s spirit?”
When Luca said that the owner of Earth Reno was Baek Woo-jin, the three races surrounding the World Tree parted like the Red Sea.
Coo!
Earth Reno approached the World Tree along the open road. He placed his horn on the World Tree while receiving everyone’s attention.
Hwaaaah!
The mont Earth Reno’s horn touched the World Tree, a yellow light like a cluster of stars ca down from the top of the World Tree.
The light was focused on only Earth Reno, like stage lights illuminating an actor.
“The energy of the earth….”
Baek Woo-jin knew at a glance what kind of energy that yellow light contained. That was the energy of the earth itself.
Ugh!
As Earth Reno absorbed the energy of the earth, his body began to grow in size, as if air had been injected into a balloon.
Coo coo coo coo!
The bridge, which was like the pillar of a building, beca thick like the support of a bridge pier, and the horn, which was like a telephone pole, rose like a mountain peak.
It wasn’t just the size that got bigger.
A sharp shell like an alligator turtle sprouted from Earth Reno’s skin, and its tail stretched out long and sharp like that of a dragon.
“Huh, it’s no joke.”
Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva. Without realizing it, my fist tightened.
Earth Reno looked like a combination of a dragon and a rhinoceros turtle, and it looked natural and stylish, as if it had originally been such a creature.
-The painting is definitely cool, but….
‘Isn’t it?’
The appearance of Earth Reno has beco so cool that the darkness admits it.
The reason n of other races could not keep their mouths shut when they saw Earth Reno’s appearance was not only because of surprise.
Ugh!
The light that contained the energy of the earth disappeared, and Earth Reno’s growth stopped.
[Earth Reno has beco the new king’s vessel through soul evolution.]
A new ssage appeared before Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
‘As expected.’
Now I can understand why the system allowed Earth Reno to grow.
‘It was because of .’
-What does that an?
‘When I saw that the reward for this quest was a new spirit, I thought it would be an Earth Vessel.’
- too.
Considering Baek Woo-jin’s luck and the difficulty level of this quest, I expected the Earth Vessel to appear.
‘But I didn’t want to let Earth Reno go. ‘You know that guy’s personality.’
Earth Reno had a heavy and patient personality like his older brother among his spirits.
-Of all the arrogant spirits, he is the most gentle.
‘that’s right.’
Earth Reno quietly accepted without any jealousy even after the other three spirits ate the food and received their nas. Because he was that kind of guy, I wanted to fight with him until the end.
He had planned to keep calling Earth Reno even after obtaining a new earth spirit, but the fact that he beca the king’s vessel was the best reward he could have hoped for.
-Well, it’s not bad.
Since Darkness was also attached to Earth Reno, he nodded his blade as if he liked this reward.
“thanks. really.”
Baek Woo-jin expressed his gratitude to the system, who may have heard it.
“What kind of spirit is that?”
“Wow….”
“It’s really cool? “Isn’t it a dragon?”
Humans and dwarves were amazed at the changed appearance of Earth Reno. I’ve seen many spirits, but I’ve never seen one so heavy and cool.
“Huh…”
“That spirit has changed!”
“This was possible?”
On the other hand, the elves were so shocked that they couldn’t breathe for a mont. It was because it was my first ti seeing the spirit change.
“That is the vessel of the Spirit King! “You beca the king’s vessel after birth!”
Luca’s face turned pale. Earth Reno, who was just a strong spirit, was transford into a royal vessel that could beco the Spirit King.
‘Really, who is that person…’
Sothing like this has never happened even once in the long history of the elves. The person nad Baek Woo-jin was an incomprehensible being that he could not understand.
[Crunch!]
Earth Reno moved carefully and approached Baek Woo-jin. He gently waved his horn as if to ask how I was.
“It’s beco really cool.”
[Crumbling!]
Baek Woo-jin grinned and tapped Earth Reno’s horn. Earth Reno let out a long snort as if he was happy.
“From now on, your na will be Chro.”
Baek Woo-jin called Earth Reno’s na, which he had thought of before.
Chro is said to rule over the earth in the na of the ancient god. I thought it would go well with Earth Reno, so I decided on it in advance.
[Crook!]
Earth Reno nodded his head loudly and opened his mouth wide. It seed like he liked the na.
Ding!
[A na befitting the vessel of the Earth was chosen.]
[Chro grows to fit its na.]
As soon as the ssage appeared, the body and energy of Earth Reno, now Chro, began to grow once again.
-You’re going to make it grow again? System Did this crazy guy turn his brain 360 degrees?
‘If the brain rotates 360 degrees, nothing changes?’
-shut up!
It had already grown to the size of a building, and then the energy of the earth was pushed into it again. All I could think was that my brain had exploded.
Ding!
But the distribution of the system is not yet over.
[Earth attribute sensitivity increases significantly.]
[Earth attribute resistance increases significantly.]
This ti, it was not Chro, but a ssage announcing the growth of Baek Woo-jin.
-Ah, anemia….
Darkness fell to the ground, its wings fluttering like a wet butterfly.
**
In a field not far from the Rhine Forest, about thirty humans and elves were being chased by dark spirits and monsters.
“Move quickly! “There isn’t much left!”
The human swordsman Rechelin ran towards the forest, encouraging his colleagues from behind.
“That’s the World Tree over there! The World Tree has really blood!”
Elf Cassel scread when he saw the World Tree rising to the top of the Rhine Forest.
I ca here a few days ago after feeling the energy of the World Tree, and the World Tree had truly co to life. Even though it was a dangerous mont, I felt like crying.
“Watch it later and run first!”
“You just have to go to the entrance of the forest!”
“shit! “It’s a dark elf!”
The elf who was shooting a bow in the center gritted his teeth when he saw a dark elf and a high-level monster approaching from the left.
I tried to enter the forest before those guys ca, but it seed like I was wrong.
“Can not help it! Fight!”
It was ti for the elves and humans to stop and start fighting. The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Coo coo coo coo!
The shaking earth suddenly rose as if it had life. Sothing like Mount Tai, which I had never seen before, lifted my body.
“Ah…”
“Huh!”
The elves opened their mouths. It was clearly a spirit, but it had an appearance and size I had never seen before, and had a huge energy.
Quaaaang!
The huge monster slamd down on its raised leg, trampling the dark spirits and monsters in one blow.
“Ugh! That monster again…”
“Retreat!”
The dark elves ran away with frowns like evil spirits, and dozens of humans and elves ca running from the Rhine Forest.
“Are you okay?”
Dapple was the first to run and said hello and checked the status of the elves and humans.
“Thank you more. That spirit over there….”
“It’s my teacher’s spirit. “Isn’t it cool?”
Dapple laughed as he tapped Chro’s leg as he stood majestically.
“Master?”
“Are you an elf or a high elf?”
“no. “It’s him.”
Dapple pointed to Baek Woo-jin, who was leisurely walking behind him.
“human?”
“That’s ridiculous!”
“That’s a spirit summoned by humans?”
“Actually, it’s not human. “It’s like God.”
Dapple clasped his hands together with a holy expression on his face like a priest.
“god? “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
“Wow!”
Baek Woo-jin put both hands together and hit Deple on the back of the head as he prayed to him.
“You told to lower my center of gravity when running, right?”
“Oh, I’m sorry….”
“I’m not just going to let today go. And not a teacher.”
Baek Woo-jin grabbed Deple’s left ear and dragged him back to the forest.
“Ah…”
“What is it…”
“Welco.”
Luca approached the bewildered elves.
“Lu Luka!”
“You’re alive!”
The elves, including Cassel, recognized Luca’s face and smiled happily.
“Then Sylvia….”
“Yes. Of course he’s alive.”
“Fortunately, the! “After all, he is the one who made the World Tree bloom!”
“no. “It’s no different from what he did.”
Luca pointed to the back of Baek Woo-jin, who was dragging Dapple.
“yes? “Are you that scoundrel?”
“Be careful what you say. “He is the one who killed the demon of the Divine Sword and protected the forest from Ifrit.”
“The devil of the divine sword?”
“This ifrit? Spirit King Ifrit?”
Everyone looked at Baek Woo-jin with their eyes wide open. They couldn’t believe what they just heard.
“okay.”
Luca opened his mouth, enjoying their reactions.
“It is no exaggeration to say that he is truly a god.”
**
“Including the 27 people who arrived today, the number of elves, 160 humans, and 50 dwarves has increased.”
Dapple told Sylvia and Tycoon Baek Woo-jin, who were sitting in the conference room, the number of people who had entered the forest in the past week.
“The number of people is increasing.”
“There is no elf who does not know that the World Tree has been revived, so the few nearby elves gather together with their friends.”
“Then we should expand the forest.”
“yes. I think we need to increase the forest more quickly by using the power of the World Tree. If that happens…”
Sylvia spread out the map of the continent on the table. I raised my hand and took a picture of the Seiran Kingdom at the eastern end.
“The distance between the eastern end of the Rhine Forest and the Seiran Kingdom will be shortened, making it easier to travel to and from other places.”
“Even in the Kingdom of Seiran, there will be no way for them to know that Boran has died and the World Tree has blood, so you will be contacted soon.”
“Not just Seiran, but elves and kingdoms spread across the continent will be contacting us.”
A bright light appeared on the faces of Tycoon and Sylvia. This is because the world tree blood here and the landscape of the continent changed.
“The forces of elves and dwarves will be able to unite around this forest. “The counterattack from the east has finally begun!”
Dapple smiled broadly and drew several lines on the map. It was a picture of a single force forming around the Rhine Forest.
“It’s all thanks to Woojin. “You changed the landscape of this continent.”
“I didn’t do anything that grand.”
Baek Woo-jin scratched the hair below his ears. It is true that I saved many people and provided great help to them, but it was embarrassing to hear that I had changed the landscape of the continent.
“This is not excessive praise.”
Sylvia shook her head. She continued, pointing to the map.
“If Woojin hadn’t saved us, the World Tree wouldn’t have blood. Then this forest would have had no existence value, and the imperial power would have eaten up four-fifths of the continent beyond Linden Castle and the Rhine Forest. If that happens, a counterattack is almost impossible.”
“That’s right. What you did didn’t just save hundreds of lives. “If you look at it from afar, it is no exaggeration to say that it saved tens of thousands of lives or an entire continent.”
Tycoon put down the empty bear bag and nodded. He also thought that Baek Woo-jin had an influence on the entire continent.
“Hehe!”
Dapple seed happy to hear Baek Woo-jin’s praise and just smiled with satisfaction.
“Woojin changed the history of this place. “And that too with my own strength.”
-I hate overdoing things, but they’re not wrong. What you and I have done is no different from changing the landscape of the continent.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin t the burdenso gaze directed at him and accepted the huge results of his actions.
“In any case, we must focus on growing the Rhine Forest. Only then can we raise the fla of counterattack.”
“To agree.”
“ too.”
The three agreed that the first thing to do was to grow the Rhine Forest and gather the remaining forces.
“What happened to Kazan?”
“I’m not awake yet.”
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin quenched his appetite. There was a lot of information I needed to find out from Kazan, but it was a sha that I couldn’t co to my senses.
“I’ve been ntally controlled for so long that it’s going to take ti to recover.”
“yes. I know.”
Because it had been a long ti since Kazan’s mind had been consud by darkness, it seed difficult for him to recover quickly.
“From now on, we will hire people from each race…”
Sylvia and Tycoon Dapple began a eting with the new people about what to do in the future.
“Then let’s move forward with this plan and have an additional eting in two days.”
“All right.”
“I have sothing to tell you for a mont.”
Baek Woo-jin spoke for the first ti toward the end of the eting.
“yes? “What…”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin’s heavy tone made Sylvia and Dapple’s expressions harden.
“I’m leaving here in about a week.”
“yes? “So quickly?”
“You’re too fast!”
“It’s complicated to tell, but I’m not a doctor.”
Beck Woojin laughed awkwardly. I would like to help a little more here, but the ti set by the system was approaching.
“No, no matter how much you say that, isn’t it too fast? “There are a lot of things I want to make for you!”
“I still have a lot to learn! “What should I do if you leave already?”
Tycoon and Dapple jumped up. Their eyes were full of regret and embarrassnt.
“You’re going back to where you ca from.”
“That’s right.”
“…It’s so unfortunate.”
Sylvia hesitated for a while, then lowered her head and muttered in a low voice.
“But we’re not going right away.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly as he looked at the three people. Regardless of the quests and rewards, I felt relieved to have been able to protect them.
“Then when are you coming back?”
“I don’t know either.”
This incident is due to an urgent call from the system. I would co back, but I didn’t know when or where.
“We can see each other again, right?”
“of course.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and marked the empire on the map with his finger.
“When there is a war with them, I will definitely be there.”
**
Baek Woo-jin rented the space next to the conference room for practice.
The purpose was to maximize the energy contained in the fruit by using the stabilized World Tree.
-Oh, I should have eaten that….
Darkness swallowed his appetite when he saw the fruit of the world tree in Baek Woo-jin’s hand.
“Later, when you return to your original body, I will find one and give it to you.”
-Um….
Darkness couldn’t speak.
I wasn’t sure myself, but when Baek Woo-jin told that his body was coming back, I felt like my nose was prickling.
“why?”
-No, it’s nothing.
Darkness didn’t say anything. I wanted to say thank you, but I couldn’t because my voice was shaking.
“It’s bland.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and summoned four spirits.
Ignis Sulbing Leo Chro, the size of a dog, ca out around Baek Woo-jin.
-Why did you summon the spirits?
“I think the energy of the World Tree will help these guys too.”
The fruit of the World Tree and the World Tree contain the energy of nature. It was thought that spirits might be able to grow by eating the fruit and receiving the energy of the World Tree.
[Crying.]
[Crying!]
[….]
Ignis and Sulbing looked like they were not interested and wanted to eat sothing, Leo was tearing up weeds, and Chro was curled up like a rock.
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin sighed softly and put the fruit of the world tree into his mouth. As soon as the fruit touched my tongue, it lted like cotton candy and went down my throat.
The energy contained in the World Tree’s fruit spread throughout Baek Woo-jin’s whole body, like powder that had been gathered together had exploded.
Ugh!
I closed my eyes and used Cain’s Auror technique.
The aura of Dantian guided the energy of the World Tree, and hot, cold, light and heavy energy filled the whole body.
Ugh!
Baek Woo-jin practiced Auror and simultaneously absorbed the energy of the fruit inside and the energy of the World Tree emanating from the outside.
The two energies, which were the sa but different, switched inside and out, strengthening Baek Woo-jin’s body and aura and increasing the energies of his attributes.
Ugh!
Baek Woo-jin was not the only one receiving the energy of the World Tree. The bodies of the four spirits began to stir with spirit energy appropriate to their respective attributes.
As Baek Woo-jin expected, the energy of the World Tree spread to the spirits using him as the axis. The light and color of the spirits receiving the energy of the World Tree beca darker, like a painting with thick paint.
After one, two, and three days passed, the energy that Baek Woo-jin and the spirits were connected to was absorbed into each other’s bodies, causing a huge explosion inside.
