The great mage who transcends by return, episode 211
■■ was observing the movement of the World Tree from afar.
“…Hmm.”
Naturally, the wrinkles deepened.
He was one of the ‘gray blood’ who did not participate in Pandaemonium, and because of that, he was not being able to share a lot of information.
But I don’t regret it.
‘Anyway, isn’t Pandaemonium degenerated into a gathering of pure-bloods a long time ago?’
He grinded his teeth.
meeting of purebloods.
Even if they are the same ‘monarch’, there is a gap between them.
Purebloods are beings who are promised a path to glory by birth.
A person who harbors some of the ‘sins’ of the Demon God.
■■ hated such pure blood.
It had to be better than pure blood, and later, when God descended, it had to stand out more than any other being.
Then, the most important thing is to find the ‘true name’.
Then there is no need to be afraid of the eulogy that the hero uses or the holy power that is not even funny.
The moment you regain your true name, you can reveal your true self as a ‘lord’.
‘I will regain my true name soon.’
I can feel the stigma attached to the World Tree continuing to transmit power to him.
The mighty life force of the World Tree.
Of course, even that is not enough.
The stigma applied to the World Tree is only what conveys the most basic power to him.
The level of finding one’s true name is completed the moment one achieves an ‘achievement’ as a demon.
If so, what is the achievement that the monarch himself has to find his true name?
You don’t even have to think deeply.
Death of the World Tree.
And the destruction of her realm, the Fairy Forest.
Those two would suffice as an achievement enough to find the true name.
How could someone like himself do something about the world tree that even the remnants of the great god couldn’t do anything about?
can do.
He didn’t inherit ‘sin’ by birth, but he had a special ability that purebloods don’t have.
‘The disaster of drought.’
The ability to reap life, dry up the land, and cause terrible famine.
Of course, this ability is not absolute at the point of not finding the true name.
Originally, it was a power that could devastate the land and starve countless humans just by existing, but it is not yet at that level.
…but.
‘If I focus my powers on the one world tree… ….’
Anything has a ‘limit’.
If he uses his ability to endlessly deplete the life force of the World Tree, the power that lost its owner will return to him intact.
And the moment when you regain your true name and your own strength is exhausted.
When the two points meet exquisitely, the world tree and one’s joys and sorrows will be perfectly mixed.
The existence of the World Tree will come to an end, and the Lord of Drought will meet a new beginning at its end… …
“Then where shall we begin?”
■■ smiled at the beings lined up behind her.
“iced coffee….”
Young elves lined up with dark eyes and emotionless expressions.
“Hehe, not bad.”
okay.
For a great devil like himself, there is nothing more rewarding than tainting innocent goodwill.
To the Lord of Drought.
There is nothing more rewarding than conquering that forest full of vitality.

“Give me back my innocence!”
After finishing the conversation with the world tree, when I came out, a whole mess was unfolding.
Eileen, who had been drinking for some reason, was sniffing and blowing a bottle.
It’s not just Eileen.
Ariandel also seemed depressed for some reason.
what happened what
Asking him to explain the situation, he quietly gazed at Lian and the butler, and the two quickly explained the situation.
“The world tree dream has been broken.”
“…huh?”
The butler shrugged and continued.
“Hey, I’ve been all over the place and seen all the places worth seeing. Didn’t Prince Lian come here once? This is because you are experienced.”
“yes.”
“On the other hand, those two are different. It’s my first time here, and it seems like I’ve had quite a few fantasies about the fairy forest… ….”
“It is a fantasy.”
Well, it’s not just the two of them, but quite a few people of the Empire have fantasies about a place like this.
Elf world tree fairy… ….
Isn’t it the home of beings that only appear in fairy tales or legends?
I’d rather be lying if I didn’t have fantasies.
I quietly reviewed the scenery the two saw here one by one.
…As soon as they enter, the fairies start protesting, saying that they are the economy and the common people.
The elven society has reached an aging population.
Too quiet atmosphere… ….
I recalled them and looked around quietly.
– What are you guys!
– Nostalgic name!
– society…
stop! Say no more!
I feel like I shouldn’t say more!
I don’t know anything else, but it’s not a word that will come out of a fairy’s mouth!
More awareness rose.
…It’s really dangerous.
Even if Dirge serves as the command tower, the wrath of the fairies will not subside unless the essential problem is resolved.
Aren’t the fairies full of dissatisfaction with the lack of numbers of elves?
At this rate, the fairies might really create a social paradise.
I don’t know anything else, but they are capable of such absurd things.
who did it
There is no paradise where you fled.
The place where the escaped fairies arrived is not a paradise on earth, but a meaningless ruin.
“I feel like I need to get things done quickly. It can’t go on like this.”
Rian asked at my words.
“Then what are you going to do? Elves who have fled outside will not come back all of a sudden. Do you have any other good ideas?”
“No. First of all, the best thing to do is to make the forest roll without the escaped young elves… ….”
“…Is that as easy as it sounds?”
Ryan looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“The current situation is caused by an absolute shortage of young elves. It’s just a matter of numbers.”
“yes.”
It’s really just a matter of numbers.
In order for the forest to be well managed to the satisfaction of the fairies, what is needed is young elves who will eventually take charge of the future.
It’s natural.
He couldn’t bring in young elves who were currently spreading all over the world and were in full swing.
In the end, it means that we have no choice but to solve this problem by ourselves.
What’s more, the existence that will welcome this situation the most has been decided.
The gray blooded archdemon.
It’s clear that they’re seeing an opportunity to somehow consume a straw stuck in the World Tree.
no, in the first place… ….
‘It seems clear that this situation itself was intended by him.’
I know his true identity.
At first, it was only a simple doubt, but now it is not an exaggeration to say that I am half-sure.
Drought Lord.
The goddamn devil who sucked the life force of the land before returning and starved many people to death.
I thought of a parent who struggled to feed her child somehow.
The child had already died of starvation a long time ago, but the maddened parents do not even know about it and just wander the streets holding the child in their arms.
Such sights were everywhere.
The damn demon giggled at the sight.
Starving children and their screaming parents.
He laughed at us, saying it was his best work.
yes i remember
How many times have you told your colleagues that even if you tear them to death dozens of times, you won’t be relieved?
…yes it was
Anyway, with that ability, it shouldn’t be difficult to deprive the spirit of nature that fairies love so much.
It would be more correct to see that he is inducing all this division behind the scenes.
‘…This is his plan.’
He must have prepared a lot for this ‘split’.
He must have diligently deprived the fairy forest of life and touched the heart of the world tree little by little.
“It’s not really a good situation.”
After hearing my explanation, Ariandel spoke to me with a dark expression.
“I don’t think it’s a situation that can be resolved right away. Of course, it is possible to avoid this moment, but solving the essential problem… ….”
“it’s possible.”
“…yes?”
Looking at her like that, I said once more firmly.
“To solve the essential problem. I mean it’s possible. If this series of events involved the goddamned ‘great devil’.”
100 percent related.
And just in time, I know the means of provoking the ‘lord of drought’ involved in this matter to wake up.
“Then the method….”
“Of course, a few steps have to be taken to do that.”
This issue really needs to be approached progressively.
First of all, you’ll need to cloud his judgment with a light approach.
“For people, gossiping about things related to their birth is something they should never do. Isn’t that right, Ariandel?”
“…Right?”
Swear at your parents or laugh at your birth or discriminate against your race.
It can’t be something very similar.
And, surprisingly, these series of things also work for the devil.
Especially if it’s a ‘gray blood’ demon.
“Non-pureblood archeemons basically have a strong complex against their ‘ash blood’. At the same time, he has endless pride in his ‘ability’ that made him the Great Demon.”
“okay.”
Ariandel looked at me curiously and said.
“You know that very well.”
“If you want to work as a warrior, this is the basic requirement.”
Anyway, what’s important.
“We have to use his pride to provoke him. I’m not an idiot, so I’m not going to rush at you, but I’m sure I’ll be impatient.”
“Then how to provoke….”
“I use fairies.”
The fairies are in a state of intense anger right now.
But if you’re good at it, you can temporarily divert their attention elsewhere.
“I will use the forest sprite to get on the nerves of the lurking archevil.”
“…Will the fairies follow me?”
Ariandel asked cautiously.
That’s a valid question.
“Well, why not turn the cause of all the problems the fairies are experiencing right now to that side.”
“Ah, incitement and fabrication….”
Ariandel nodded, not particularly surprised now.
“This is because it is a public opinion contest.”
[No, don’t understand… ….]
Seeing the saintess who really naturally accepted agitation and fabrication, Set sighed slightly.
But no matter how he reacts, it’s true that this is a valid method.
“My fairy will help. And here, Ariandel and Eileen can help Dirge and lead the fairies there naturally.”
“What can we do?”
“I mean.”
Rian and the butler asked side by side.
I told them both.
“The butler and Lian have something to do separately to help the Fairy King and Jihad. He won’t stand still after being provoked, so follow up… ….”
I said that and told them the next ‘plan’.
After hearing my plan, the two nodded as if they understood, and immediately headed for the palace where the Fairy King was.
“…Then what are you going to do?”
Ellen asked me sneakily.
It’s decided what to do.
“I’m going to make medicine.”
“yes…?”
“It makes medicine. I will eat.”
“This is called a hero….”
Aileen clicked her tongue as she looked at the trash lying around.
“What can I do? After all, I need to do 8 circles for this whole plan to work.”
“I don’t think Circle 8 was filmed just because they wanted to film something….”
“It’s okay. I can.”
At my words, Eileen looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“I feel very strange about myself that I can’t deny.”
Then he let out a deep sigh.
“In the 8th circle, you will reach the same level as your father…At the age of thirty… ….”
“How are you?”
If you’re a warrior, you should do that.
Anyway, I’ve instructed the party to do everything… ….
‘Is it time to make an elixir now?’
Ingredients must be ready… ….
Now I have to go up to the 8th circle.
