Chapter. 15. Can a person who has seen the end of the world plant an apple tree? (43)
****
Phew!
“Ugh…. Umm….”
Binge drinking. What woke Idrasil up was a binge that felt like throwing the entire castle wall into the sea. An old man can be seen sweating in the ear-piercing noise. He was manipulating the water to gently catch the Professor who was bouncing around, while trying hard to somehow slow down the Termacian, and in order to stop him, the Mutes who had escaped from the battlefield rushed towards the ship.
In order to avoid Mute, the crew desperately drives the ship and circles the moon, and Notum uses a spell to attack Mute, who was unable to separate them.
Battle of the Professor and Thermachian. Yes, I was on the battlefield.
‘…There is no part where the memory is lost. It feels like I just fell asleep.’
It feels like I had a very long dream. The same goes for my head that has become clear as if a gentle breeze is blowing, and the memories that are clear before my eyes but are dispersing like fog.
memory? A memory of something. There was a memory that remained blurry and clear at the same time.
Meeting the world tree, Mother Tree. A whisper of an unknown secret. A fixed future and an undetermined future. And what she has to do.
Idrasil felt puzzled as he felt the sensation from his dream behind his back, and unfastened the quiver of arrows on his back.
‘there is.’
I didn’t know what I was looking for, but the moment I saw it, I knew this was it. Arrows arranged neatly. One of them, which was nothing more than a dead tree branch with a point and arrow feathers, was sprouting green leaves, showing off its vitality. There is new life in a dead tree.
Notum, who had been creating thorn vines with a spell, approached in surprise at the sudden sense of vitality.
“Geuuuu. arrow….? live arrow. A precious item. Elf, where is that?”
“I don’t know, but… it seems clear that I should use this.”
When Notum asked in a surprised voice, Idrasil reflexively answered and then pondered the meaning of his words.
must be used Maybe I made that choice. It was a difficult decision for her to understand as she had always ignored the will of the mother tree, but she had a firm belief that this would be a source of hope.
Talgraak.
Idrasil carefully took out a small tree with a point and arrow feathers and held it up in front of him.
What is this item used for? If you just plant it in the ground like the barrier tree in your hometown Kaneran, will it grow and help the professor? Or should I forward this to the professor? Or else…
“….Rakshasha. Where is she now?”
“The desert woman is over there. “I caught the snake girl.”
The place Notum was pointing to was a place that could be called the coast, the end of the sea raised by the moon.
The Rakshasha, who has created a large white sphere with a shaman, spreads his shamans everywhere and fights the Mutes who are trying to rescue Nigmi trapped inside.
This was not the time to calmly ask questions about hatchlings.
Of course, permission for future events as well.
“….please. “I hope my choice was right.”
Idrasil made up his mind and ran toward the deepest cabin below the deck, holding the branch of the world tree that grew from the arrow.
Rattling!
“Keeeeek!”
“Wow… you’re an elf. “I thought the enemy had invaded.”
“There is no time to talk much. “Do you feel something when you see this?”
Idrasil cut off the waist of the Royal Hatchling’s horse and forcibly thrust the branch of the world tree he was holding into his arms.
“Is this… an arrow? “Arrows made from living trees?”
“It’s rough, but it’s kind of pretty….”
The siblings Aldar and Senica looked at the branch she gave them as if they were some amazing toy.
Although he showed interest, there was no particular reaction.
….puhhh.
The roar of battle was clearly audible even through the thick walls of the cabin. There won’t be much time.
‘….also. It may have been meaningful that the arrows were specifically bloomed. I might have to stab those lizards directly into their hearts.’
The moment when Idrasil became impatient and tried to retrieve the branch of the World Tree from Aldar’s hands.
Wow!
“Oh brother?”
“this…!”
Wow! Wow!
Without Idrasil having time to stop him, the hatchling Aldarshax ate the branches of the World Tree in an instant with his possessed eyes.
….gulp.
The moment when I felt that the neck of a hatchling swallowing something it had chewed could be seen particularly clearly.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Oh brother! Elf! “The blood… your brother is bleeding!”
Aldarshax, which swallowed a branch, vomited out blood as if trying to pour out all the blood in its body, and shouted,
“Krrrrrrkahaak!”
Tuk. Degurr….
It spit out something like a small lump along with blood.
A green piece mixed with metal pieces.
‘A piece of the sun that sealed the power with the dragon’s death. Nul’s final arrangement for a world where administrators have disappeared. A world that was distorted before the royal blood became extinct. Seal lifted.’
Upon seeing this, a blurry memory quickly appeared in Idrasil’s mind and then disappeared like a mirage.
Immediately after the circuit board spit out by Aldar turned into sand and scattered.
Heart pounding-
“Aldar….?”
“Oh brother… Brother Aldar?”
Heart pounding –
Aldar’s pale face was turning red, and light was leaking from within his skin, as if glowing from within his chest, staining his chest red.
The sound of your heart beating like a war drum. A heart that radiates more light to suit it.
Aldar, who staggered to his feet, moved towards the outside of the cabin as if possessed.
Chabak. Chabak.
The wet footsteps characteristic of reptiles echo in the hallway below the deck.
“Kiluruk! Elves! What did you do to your brother…! “Brother, come to your senses, brother!”
Senica clung to Aldar, shedding tears, but his steps toward the outside did not stop. Every time his heart
beat,
Aldar was filled with so much strength that his hands and toes were shaking
.
It is not simply a strong force. A certain presence. What rights. The power of a creature that can proudly treat the world and its own name as equals.
Clunk-
squeak!
“Elf! Don’t go anywhere, help me here…Gwok? lizard?”
“Oh no! Captain! Send the hatchling back to the cabin! “You never know when the mute that’s clinging to the ship will come up on deck!”
“We also have no hands left!”
“Uh oh where is that?! hey!”
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucu
_ Caw!
Crack!
The sound of exploding water echoing ceaselessly in front of me. The unpleasant cries of a mute stuck on a boat and the sound of brambles crushing the mute.
Aldar walked across the deck in confusion and leaned against the railing surrounded by thorny vines.
Then, he said while facing Idrasil, who came up holding the fallen Senica.
“Elf….. please take care of Senica….”
“Keuuuuk! This…let go! Brother! “What do you mean by that, brother?”
The confused half-elf nodded, holding on to Senika, who was struggling to follow, and Aldar fell over the railing as if that was enough.
“Kyaaaaaak!”
“Kwaaaaah!”
“Oh, no! “Onii-chan!!!!”
Aldar’s body fell onto the sandy sea teeming with monsters with sharp fangs and claws exposed, and was instantly buried in the sea and disappeared.
scream. And finally, the cries of monsters cheering at the enemy meat that fell into their hands.
Between the saw-like claws, Aldar’s fragile body was torn apart and scattered to pieces.
His heart is pounding .
The blood-soaked heart fell from the torn body and quietly submerged in the sea of sand.
Excited –
Excited –
.
.
.
.
.
….excited.
The dragon Aldarshax. I thought the process was similar to a creature coming out of an egg.
Puhwaak!
『Koo Woo Woo Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
!
A thick arm broke through the sand and crushed the small creature that had torn off its old skin.
The cry of birth announced its existence to the world as a sound beyond the range that mere human ears can hear.
Ssaaaa –
Eventually, its brilliant body emerged from the sand, and it looked like the best of all the creatures created by God.
The fuselage is covered in blue scales with a subtle undulating pattern. Like our ancestors who lived in what was once the sea, it has no wings, but a long, strong body that gives you a feeling of great power just by looking at it. Above the strong teeth and long beard were dragon eyes that glowed blue like light from the deep sea.
Dark blue eyes looked down at the world unfolding before his eyes.
The tiny creatures clinging to his scales, squirming without knowing what they were about, were being crushed by the force flowing over them.
A sailor almost fell off the mast and a captain whose legs gave out and hung on the rudder. You can see the sailors foaming at the mouth and looking dark.
He saw the elf who had given him the will of the World Tree and his blood relatives who were so shocked that they were shaking and banging the deck with their tails.
I wanted to say a few warm words, but I didn’t have time.
I hear the sound of the water exploding from the dragon’s senses and the groan of the man pierced by the spear
.
And a six-armed monster was also seen following the thrown spear like a shadow and swinging a halberd towards his neck.
There is not enough time to close the distance with a body that has just been born. Instead of throwing his body away, Aldarshaks filled his mouth with the power that came from his heart, which was beating with the world.
『Stop
!
Statement. A violent order from the world that is thrown with its will at a part of the world.
The voice that opened the curtain of the world and landed at its roots made Mute, the crew, and even the Thermachian halberd that was half-buried into the professor’s neck stop as if it were a lie.
It is a command that opens the curtain of the world and reaches its roots. It was impossible for any small creature living in this world to resist the dragon’s words.
However.
“I don’t know where the earthworm came from, but…”
Crack, clap, clap!
“You should leave my guest behind!”
Wow!
The dragon’s words originate from a presence that is like a combination of the fortunes of one continent. All of those who stood here were beings who could leave a deep scar on the history of the world.
There were so many fates intertwined with their actions that the only thing they could do was briefly tie up the newborn dragon’s words.
“Cluck cluck! Thank you… I don’t know where the dragon came from…”
『Saladin. Don’t you recognize me?』
“Cough… uh…? I have wide feet, but it’s not enough to say I know dragons… Is that an oriental dragon? Blue dragon? Are you from Korea? “Trends person?”
『You’re saying something I don’t understand.』
“Oh, sorry. “This guy’s game is now talking about the outside world like it’s three meals a day.”
The professor rolled his eyes at the sight of the dragon that rescued him, concentrating on regenerating his wounds.
I do not know. Everyone I know is someone who rolls around in the mud with me, but there was no such thing as a tall dragon like this.
“grow. Aldarshaks. Hatchling siblings who were protected by Rakshasha.』
“That scarf lizard? “Keruruk?”
『Do not insult the dragon. It becomes unlucky.』
The Professor, who managed to pierce the ship with a spear just before the hardened Termacian halberd split the ship, and Aldarshax, who tore off the side of the ship entirely, shook his head, forgetting about his dangling neck.
“Uh… how did you get so completely transformed?”
『It’s a long story, but I guess I’ll just say that the world has become so distorted that it needs the power of the old dragon. I am also confused as I have just received the knowledge.』
Aldarshax looked back and forth between the professor who was regenerating in his grasp and the Thermakian across from him.
His unnatural movements of turning his shoulders and swinging his weapon were quickly becoming normal. In the end, words also go hand in hand with magic, so since the author has proven that they do not work by breaking away from the words [Stop] on his own, the same words will not work for the author.
『….A dragon made from the rotting corpses of its people and the ghosts of dead gods. A subject that has inherited its power has the power to stand against the will of the world. As expected, the ‘ordeal’ given to the world has already gone far beyond its limits.』
Aldarshax said to the professor as he watched Termakian raise his weapon again.
『Saladin. You should go towards the moon this way.』
“No, just grab that one and go together… Oh no.”
The professor, who had been thinking of simply defeating each enemy, soon changed his mind.
Because Falcatus, who handed over the power of the dragon to Thermachian, returned to the interior of the moon. I was strongly convinced that I should not give him time to do other tricks, as he was a guy who would create all kinds of variables if left alone. If I had been at the edge of a cliff like this and made a plan, I would have made everything that came to mind, not Plan B, but Plan CDEF~Z, and even 32-Anadara.
‘How much time has passed since he was released from the Gold Dragon’s body? Even though I borrowed my body, it seemed like I had suffered quite a bit of damage. Time to recover, come back to my senses, and prepare for the next plan….’
Damn it. It’s full and overflowing. As I was looking at the moon glimmering over the sea, I started to feel anxious.
“Uh… then let’s do a favor! “I’ll be back soon!”
『Hurry up as much as possible. The world has already come too far. If we go any further from here, we may be heading towards an ending from which there is no return.』
Grrrrrrrrrrr!
After nodding, the body of the professor sank into the water like a ghost, and silence fell for a moment on the constantly fluctuating Moon Sea, as if a volcano had exploded.
Snap. Snap.
The sound of footsteps on the calm water.
『Yes… Even if it’s fake, this is someone who stole the dragon’s power. Not only was it not enough to be freed from the ghost’s bondage so quickly, but I was also able to move as I wanted.』
“Okay then. I feel like I’m flying right now. It’s a really awesome day. It wasn’t enough to kill people like ants without mercy, absorb so much power that it made the roots of their teeth tingle, and beat up the guy named Father that Falcatus had been singing about so much… a dragon. “Oh my god, is today my birthday?”
Termakian, who was still swinging his uncomfortable arm, smiled cruelly and pointed the tip of his weapon at the dragon.
“It’s a young dragon. It would be perfect to cut it into small pieces and give the meat as a gift to my sister and the heart to give to my mother as a healthy meal!” 『
Just
because I robbed the dragon of its power, it doesn’t mean I was given the right to be arrogant.』
Aldarshax’s heart pounded as he faced him, and a brightly shining orb was placed in his mouth. His heart crystallized by accepting the power of the dragon. It was a dragon heart.
As the heart appeared, dark clouds began to rise in the desert sky.
『If you want to see your mother burned black by lightning… take it and see!』
Flash!
Gurgling!
The sky above the desert. The dragon’s long body rises against the background of a sky sparkling with thunderclouds.
The moment when Yongin’s arms grasp the handles of the six weapons as if they were about to break.
Quaaaang!
The lightning of the dragon and the mighty power of the dragon faced each other.
Explosive sounds once again echoed across the battlefield that the professor had left behind.
****
Grumble-
And. The man, completely disfigured, left behind a mythical war.
“Open the door… you bastard!”
When we finally arrived, in front of the sunken moon, we were reaching out towards the stage where the story should end.
