The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Chapter 129: The Sage Views the World Tree

A dot of light occupied my vision.

Crystal flowers covered the ground far and wide.

As it was hit by the sunlight, it reflected all seven colors of light.

At the center of the crystalline flower field stood a pure white tree.

It was the World Tree.

Its height pierced the clouds and bore fruits with silver leaves.

A breeze rustled the leaves of the World Tree.

A clear sound was heard as the crystal petals danced with the sunlight, adding more color to the picturesque scene.

Luciana sighed with a fascinated expression.

Wah, its amazing

What a magnificent view.

Diella mumbled.

She was unusually quiet.

She stilled, completely srized by the flower garden and the World Tree.

After Diella shook out of her stupor, she asked for my opinion.

How is it, Dwight? Are you impressed by it?

Indeed. Sothing this beautiful is rare.

I honestly spoke of my opinion.

It was a magnificent scene that didnt seem to belong in this world.

Diella nodded deeply several tis as she understood my words.

It was to the point where your face was almost scraped off after all. Your feelings have been properly conveyed.

I touched my own cheek as Diella spoke.

Most of it had already worn away.

The finger I used to confirm the directions was also broken from its second joint.

It was the part I reinforced using miasma not too long ago.

This land here was where the World Trees power was most concentrated at.

The sacred atmosphere of the entire forest originated from this place.

It was more lethal than common holy magic.

dium and lower ranked undead would be purified imdiately.

As I faced it directly at this mont, the holy atmosphere was far greater than I expected.

The power of the World Tree's spirit also saturated the air heavily.

It was impossible due to the situation back then, but I wished I could have visited this place during my days as a human.

If I could have used the flowers and branches here, it would have made the war against demonkin easier.

It would have been extrely effective even against Diella, who was the Demon Lord of that ti.

But that was a what-if story.

The past has already gone, and it would be aningless to think too much about it now.

Diella crouched down and touched the crystal flowers.

The petals scattered particles of light everywhere.

Diella slowly squinted her eyes.

Uumu. I know why I couldnt get my hands on it then. It is worthy of its na as the World Tree.

Dont you regret it?

I used to have such a feeling then, but I no longer have it now. Perhaps it is because of a change in my ntality as I am no longer the Demon Lord.

Diella said so with a firm expression.

Her eyes reminded of her days as the Demon Lord.

Luciana spoke out due to how unexpected Diella's answer was.

Thats a surprise. To think Diella-sama has grown. Im so happy I could cry.

What was that? Are you trying to provoke ? My fist is already itching, you know?

Diella frowned, taking a stance and pretending to hit Luciana.

Luciana responded by pretending to cry.

After repeating such actions several tis, Diella cleared her throat as she seed bored of the exchange.

Everyone will eventually grow ntally. Dont you think so, Dwight?

Why are you asking ?

Since it is you, the Demon Lord who was forrly a Sage. I thought you would have many experiences thanks to that, tell us about it. We wont spread it to others, so dont worry about that.

Diella ribbed at with her elbow.

It didnt hurt, but it was strangely annoying.

As Luciana saw our exchange, she spoke with a smile.

Diella-sama, I thought you were bad at maintaining confidentiality? I had the impression that information would slip from your mouth in no ti.

Lu-Luciana! If you say that, Dwight wont feel like talking!

Diella hurriedly tried to block Lucianas mouth.

She seed to be trying to prevent her flaws from being exposed, but I was already aware of such things.

It would be aningless to try to hide it now after all this ti.

With such a casual atmosphere, I continued on with the topic.

I did have a change in my ntality. I dont know if its correct to say I grew ntally, though.

Hou hou, what kind of change was it?

Diella stopped moving and asked as she looked at curiously.

It made be able to face my own ugliness and stupidity. I was always turning my back and refusing to admit it during my days as a human.

Your own ugliness

Thats right. I definitely wont approve of my own actions. However, I do think it was necessary to do so. It was necessary to beco an everlasting and evil Demon Lord.

As Diella heard my declaration, she folded her arms as a difficult expression crossed her face.

I can only think of it as a shuras path no matter how many tis I hear of it Well, Im aware you wouldn't have compromised your actions. So I wont give you any opinion regarding that, but Ill give you this instead.

Diella held her hand out in front of .

Magic power concentrated on her palm.

Then a scale was conjured up.

It's surface was lustrous and was similar to lapis lazuli in color.

It is a scale imbued with my power. If there cos a ti when your life is in danger, it will save you once. Dont forget about it.

I appreciate it.

I received the scale.

Luciana puffed her cheek beside us.

She complained.

Hey, its unfair of Diella-sama to do that. Are you intending to steal Demon Lord-samas heart?

Kuhaha, I rely gave a gift to my promising junior.

Diella put a proud expression on her face.

She continued to look at .

At that mont, she turned serious.

Hey, Dwight.

What is it?

Know that I am your reliable senior. You can consult on anything.

Diella put her hand on my shoulder as she smiled warmly.

As our gaze t sharply, I looked away.

Ill consult you when I'm really in trouble.

I see, so you consider as your secret weapon! Umu umu, that sure sounds great.

Diella nodded, she was in a good mood.

I dont understand how she ca to such a conclusion, but it seed she was satisfied with my response.

Luciana ca up beside and whispered.

Demon Lord-sama, youre getting better at handling Diella-sama. Did you study up on how to do it?

I only learnt it for the sake of a peaceful everyday life."

I answered formally as I glanced a pitiful look at Diella.
