Episode 544: Fire Moth (3)
After the smoke from the explosion cleared, it was Nirva who appeared in perfect condition.
“Tsk tsk. “If I had just run away, I would have survived at least a little longer.”
Nirva’s gaze turned to Sheridan, who was firing a howitzer on a hill in the distance.
“Wow. That old man is still fine even after being hit squarely by my cannonball! “I guess you still have a lot of energy!”
“That’s enough, keep shooting!”
In response to Hans’ reprimand, Sheridan randomly fired cannonballs created from his imagination.
Damn!
Bombs flying through the wind fell heavily around Nirva.
Red explosions and huge shock waves spread everywhere.
But Nirva was fine even in the scorching heat.
His eyes were on Zandman.
“Did you think I didn’t know? “I knew long ago that you were trying to rescue Ludger Cellisi after catching my attention.”
However, the reason they did not stop it was because they could afford to do so.
There is enough power to chase down and capture Hans and his group who are running away after clearing out Zandman.
“But you saved me a lot of trouble by coming to see me on your own.”
Zandman slowly held out his palm.
The dream sand on the ground rose up as if drawn by the wind and wrapped around the flying cannonballs.
Twisting. Crackling.
The sand strongly clumped together and compressed the entire cannonball inside.
The surprises didn’t end there.
The shape of the sand that swallowed the cannonball changed. And with the same shell.
A cannonball made of dream sand was shot towards Hans and Sheridan on the hill, emitting golden smoke.
“This is crazy!”
“evacuation! evacuation!”
Hans and Sheridan immediately ran away.
“Do you think you’ll miss it?”
As Zandman gestured toward the fleeing Hans and Sheridan, the flying cannonball changed direction.
Sheridan looked back as he ran away and his eyes lit up when he saw the cannonball.
“It has a guidance function! awesome! “I want to wear something like that too!”
“Now is not the time to say that!”
It was a moment when it seemed like we were going to be caught up in a cannonball.
The shells that were flying safely exploded one after another in the air.
“Tsk.”
Nirva clicked his tongue and turned his head.
Before I knew it, the hand I had stretched out was being held by the roots of a strong tree.
Sedina, the owner who created the root, was standing next to Zantman, glaring at Nirva with an intense gaze.
“I commend your will to fight instead of running away. Um yeah. Sedina Roshen.”
Nirva, who quickly gathered information through dreams, spoke Sedina’s name.
Information about Sedina is gradually accumulating in real time.
Eventually, Nirva’s face changed from irritation to interest.
“World Tree Contractor? A half-elf too? “What an interesting situation.”
Since he had that level of skill, he must have been able to make a promise to stand up to himself.
“Even outside wizards who freely manipulate plants call him the green wizard.”
When the title green came out of Nirva’s mouth, Zandman looked at Sedina as if it were true.
“It’s not green.”
Sedina added a shy aside.
“Not yet.”
“her.”
Was it not for nothing that he was worried?
As Zandman was expressing such sentiments, Nirva sneered slightly.
“But what can you, a green wizard, do in real life or in your dreams?”
No matter how great someone is in reality, it is not easy to demonstrate all their abilities in Dreamland, where the unconscious and imagination influence.
Sedina knew that too, but she didn’t back down.
“There must be something I can do.”
Even though I said that, my body was actually shaking even now.
Even the teacher is an opponent that cannot be defeated and is defeated.
To Sedina, Nirva felt like a wall she could not overcome.
But it wasn’t my first time experiencing something like this.
Didn’t you feel it in the elf kingdom as well?
I thought I couldn’t win and that there was no hope.
But I won.
He overcame extreme odds and made victory a reality.
Sedina saw that miracle with her own eyes.
‘it is not diffcult. All you have to do is think about it. ‘The same scenery I saw that day.’
Sedina concentrated her mind.
Let’s imagine. And it reminds me of it. Not a vaguely blurred image, but a clear and distinct form where everything is composed in detail.
‘Ugh. Head.’
As I tried to use a huge amount of energy at once, I felt the pain of a needle pricking my skull.
Every time I did that, the image I was slowly drawing shook as if it were shaking.
“Think of a happy moment.”
At that time, Zandman was next to me and gave me advice.
Zandman instinctively sensed that Sedina was trying to create something huge that had never been seen before.
“If it is difficult to do with simple will and imagination, then use a little trick. Rather than negative thoughts, what we remember most are happy moments. “Remember that time and implement it based on those feelings.”
Sedina followed Zandman’s instructions.
Nirva frowned at that sight.
‘My energy is clearing up.’
Unlike the dream energy that was not properly handled and was fluctuating outward, Sedina’s energy has now become very neat.
Should I say that it feels like looking at the calm sea, as if a typhoon had just hit it?
At the same time, Nirva felt a slight sense of crisis.
My intuition that something was coming set off an alarm.
“You asked what I could do?”
Sedina stared at Nirva with clearer eyes.
“I guess we can call it the World Tree.”
The moment Nirva was about to say something.
A huge wall rose up before his eyes.
‘tree?’
Nirva’s eyes widened as he saw the tree soaring high into the sky in an instant.
It was a tree that rose up, casting a huge shadow.
It is the same size as the obelisk that sealed the goddess.
The world tree, a sacred tree revered by the elves like a god.
A world tree that can turn the entire continent into a jungle if it wants to has appeared in Dreamland.
‘You created a world tree? And that’s just one person?’
Even if Sedina Roshen was a contractor of the World Tree, they did not have this level of skill.
So I guess I didn’t pay much attention to it.
But now Sedina Roshen has grown into a distinct danger.
In that brief moment, in a direction that even Nirva himself did not expect.
“Yes, it’s nothing more than a fake that just imitates the shape!”
Sedina, who was on top of the World Tree, looked down at Nirva and answered.
“that’s right. “It may definitely be lacking compared to the real thing.”
Ugh.
The world tree trembled.
At the same time, night fell in the depths of Dreamland.
“and! “What is that?!”
Sheridan, who was watching the scene from afar, let out an exclamation.
Contrary to the darkness surrounding it, the leaves of the World Tree were filled with light and were shining white.
It was a scene that made it easy to understand why the elves prayed to that tree and considered it sacred.
“I’m going to turn away.”
Hans, who was far away, stared at the World Tree with mixed eyes.
A bad memory of that light of destruction heading towards me came to mind.
But now, I couldn’t be more reassured that that light was my ally.
It may be hard to hear, but Hans really wanted to say this to Sedina.
“Shoot it cool. “Junior.”
Immediately after, a long flash of pure white light shot out.
A huge amount of light that hurts the eyes and heat energy that makes the atmosphere boil.
The pillar of destruction that combined all of them fell towards Nirva.
Even if it falls short of the power of the original, the World Tree is the World Tree.
Just a portion of its power and authority was enough to devastate the surrounding area.
Pure white light engulfed Nirva and fell deep into the ground.
And the concentrated energy spread deep underground, causing a huge explosion.
Boouk.
Like a volcano erupting, the ground swelled like an air bubble and a red flower bloomed inside.
“oh my god.”
Zandman could not keep his mouth shut as he watched the scene unfold before his eyes from the branches of the World Tree.
Although he gave me advice, I had no idea that it would produce such great results.
Just because I’m a student, I can’t say I didn’t look down on anything.
Zandman burst out laughing without even realizing it.
“Our youngest has made a really good friend.”
At this point, I felt ashamed of myself for making a fuss just to waste time.
Having been hit by an attack of this much power, even Nirva would not be unharmed.
That thought changed as I watched the structure slowly emerge from the explosion.
“What is that again?”
It was in a form where only the hands were clasped together as if in prayer.
Eventually, the hand opened to the left and right, and Nirva appeared from inside.
“It’s a little hot.”
In the explosion, Nirva was fine.
There were some injuries. Because my clothes were scorched and my skin had some reddish burns.
But that was all.
Even after being hit by an attack of that power, the wound was only that small.
That fact shocked Sedina.
“…It was a sincere attack.”
Sedina bit her lip.
I was anxious about what might happen.
When I faced reality, I felt once again how great Nirva was.
Zandman, who felt that emotion, gave advice.
“You just have to take your time. Give up your greed. “Our goal is to hold on, not to defeat that monster.”
“…all right.”
Sedina gave an order to the World Tree.
The leaves of the World Tree shone and golden spears rained down on Nirva.
Each step is a rain of death that tears flesh and breaks bones.
Nirva walked through the rain like a person going for a walk.
Sedina decided to change her approach.
The roots of the World Tree released a huge amount of energy to the ground.
Nirva stopped walking and lowered his head to look at the floor.
A small sprout sprouted through the sandy bottom.
The number spread far beyond the horizon, centered around the World Tree.
The sprout grew at an incredible speed, as if time were fast-forwarding hundreds of times.
The sprout became a sapling, and the sapling became a tree.
New plants grew around the tree.
It takes hundreds of years for a forest to develop.
However, it took less than 3 seconds for the World Tree to create a forest.
Dense flood waters fill the field of vision.
Nirva was standing in the middle of the maw of a huge beast called the forest.
Intense murderous intent felt in every tree or weed.
Every single plant.
This whole forest.
I feel like he is trying to kill himself with a will.
“How dare you sow seeds and sprout on the goddess’s land. “There are degrees of insulting this world.”
But even in the face of it all, Nirva remained calm.
“I guess this is also an ordeal given to me. So I will accept it.”
I tried to regain my strength, but it ended up costing me more.
But it is also true that the process so far has been very comfortable.
Nirva decided to be a little ‘sincere’ at this moment.
If you think about things later, it is right to save your strength.
However, as long as there were people who risked their lives to interfere with this, it was just my wish.
“I will trample you thoroughly.”
Zabini Yeouni.
All that is excluded.
“Dream.”
Nirva muttered softly.
A small but powerful word.
That one word caused a huge stir in the world.
Slurp.
Sand began to spread around Nirva.
The sand spread with the wind and engulfed the trees.
The wood that touched the sand melted instantly like salt that touched water.
It looked like it had simply melted away, but upon closer inspection, it had returned to its original form, which made up the tree.
With dream energy.
The spreading sand became a storm and quickly covered the entire forest except for the World Tree.
The transformation of a dense jungle into a desert happened literally in the blink of an eye.
“How…”
Sedina was shocked.
At that moment, her body swayed greatly.
Even in the sandstorm, the World Tree was fine, but it was only holding on for now.
In reality, it didn’t work out that way.
A huge sand quagmire was slowly swallowing the World Tree.
The world tree measured in kilometers slowly sank downward, as if submerged in a swamp.
In an instant, the huge tree went over its base and was submerged up to half of the pillar.
Nevertheless, the bog kept stuffing the World Tree into its mouth as if it was hungry.
“We have to escape!”
“Where?!”
Zandmann and Sedina searched for an escape route at the ends of the branches of the World Tree.
But the size of the bog was too big.
It is a sandy quagmire that swallows up the World Tree. No matter where I went, all I could see was a picture of me sinking downwards.
A desert area where everything you see beyond your vision is made up of dream sand.
At least Hans and Seridan seemed to have escaped safely, but Sedina could not.
Absolutely.
The branches of the World Tree began to be submerged in sand.
The strong branch shattered with a terrible sound.
It was clear that if you were submerged in that swamp, you would not just be unable to breathe, but would be completely crushed by the pressure of the sand.
“Hey! “Take my hand!”
Zandman stretched out his hand toward Sedina.
The moment Sedina caught them, their bodies soared toward the sky.
Behind Zandman’s back, there had been wings woven with thread for some time.
But Sedina did not see it so positively.
If I could, I could have escaped by flying earlier, but time was delayed.
It was evidence that much of Zandman’s strength had been exhausted.
Even if I flew like this, there was no answer if I couldn’t get out of this desert area.
More than anything.
He wasn’t the type of person to let Nirva run away.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
The world has turned upside down.
The sky is down. The desert is up.
Shoot!
Sand poured down from the sky like a waterfall.
The two people caught up in it fell into the endless sky along with a waterfall of sand.
Fortunately, there was no unexpected crash.
What supported them was the floor made of huge trees.
“This this.”
Embarrassed, Sedina looked around.
Translucent glass rose like a wall.
And the pouring sand began to slowly fill the inside.
“Hourglass?”
Sedina’s face became thoughtful as she realized where she was trapped.
Nirva spoke to the two people trapped inside the hourglass and slowly being buried in the sand.
“Just try struggling hard, you bugs.”
