Episode 161 [Yggdrasil, Green Wave, Dragon of Death – 1]
———————————— ————
The entire building collapsed due to Lee Hyun-wook, but the movement inside did not stop.
“Forest managers, grab the reins of Mother Nature and unleash its absolute power!”
The dark elves ‘Forest Elementalists’ lined up in the darkness underground emitted a black aura.
After swallowing a certain fruit, they were able to use magical power beyond their limit.
So, he was summoning a number of forest spirits and demonstrating his power over plants…
“Now! Give suffering to the forest’s loyalists and have them burn their bodies!” However, the spirits of the forest all had purple magic chains around their necks, and their small bodies were trembling like
aspen
trees, as if they were about to disappear at any moment, and were screaming
desperately
. The cruel scene was an elemental art that exploited the spirits called ‘black elementalists.’
“Keueeeh…”
The lower-level spirits could not withstand for several minutes as they were forcibly drawing out more power than their limit.
The spirits had exhausted their strength. There were many instances of them disappearing as if vaporizing, but…
“Thirteen people just disappeared! “We will go all out by opening two additional spirit cages!”
Then, one of the ‘spirit prisons’ piled up on one side was opened and 10 forest spirits were dragged out.
In this way, the dark elves seemed very accustomed to using forest spirits as consumables.
Based on such strange power, the forest spiritists sowed the seeds of the green wave, made it grow rapidly, and succeeded in supporting the collapsing ceiling.
Then, they began to squeeze through the remains of the building.
“Oh, the spirit magic of the ‘forest keepers’ who have reached the limit of spirit control is beyond imagination.”
Meanwhile, Mario Lima, a middle-aged man wearing horn-rimmed glasses and a representative of the villain, could not help but be impressed.
Since he was also a black elementalist, this scene was both familiar and admirable.
“To secure this much spirit… I need to work hard at collecting it, right?”
At those words, the female dark elf ‘Flos Ruber’ standing next to her snorted.
“You don’t know that. In our blessed forest, things like this are widespread and easy to use.”
“That forest used to be called Berlin. “I have been there a few times in the past.”
“Tsk, your ugly and dirty city center has long been destroyed by Mother Nature, which we fostered.”
“Ugh, no problem. If you have this much awesome power, you should be willing to give up that city.”
Mario Lima was constantly amazed as if he had come into contact with an advanced culture, but his true intentions were different:
‘If I capture these things and study them… I’m sure we’ll come up with some pretty good works, right?’
He suppressed the bitter laughter that came out as he fantasized about various things.
In fact, he was the one who created the ‘city vacuum cleaner’ based on a colony of earth spirits, and
this time, he fell into happy thoughts for a moment about what to make with the forest spirits.
But now . He had to focus on dealing with his worst opponent, Steelein.
‘I can’t believe I’m being held back by that bastard this time. This gets pretty fun, doesn’t it?’
To be honest, I never dreamed that Steele Rain would appear and interfere this time too.
But that wasn’t the only plan the villain had prepared, so I wasn’t impatient just yet.
“Anyway, the plan went awry, so I’ll move to my place for the second plan.”
He turned his head as he said that, and a small portal was created in the corner.
“Now… we have to hack the soft part of the Yggdrasil root and find out Nidhogg’s location.”
They planned to release the dragon Nidhogg, who was trapped beneath the roots of Yggdrasil.
For the future war, various plans were made to shake up Yggdrasil from within.
Blah blah blah blah blah
. Meanwhile, the green wave began to soar through the remains of the building and cover the ground.
“And… did you say that the one who ruined our plan and ran away up there was Steelaine?”
Plos Ruber looked up at the sky and asked, and Mario Lima nodded,
“Yes, I sent you the information last time. As you can see, he is a very annoying guy who cannot understand anything.”
Along with Steele Donald Harris, a wall stands in the way of the cause of a group of villains…
“So you deal with steel? “It’s a great ability, but it’s probably a very useless joke to me.”
Naturally, metal equipment was commonly used to cut down trees and cut bushes.
But if you think about it, you had to hit it for a very long time to cut down just one tree.
“Because the original nature of the forest is not something that can be destroyed with processed metal or anything like that.’
No matter how many metal weapons are used, it is difficult to erase forests at the level of Mother Nature.
And this is especially true if the forest can continue to grow with special power.
“He is nothing but prey to me, so I myself will make him food for the forest.”
She said that and walked forward, and vines gathered under her feet.
Quad-de-d——!
A huge flower bud bloomed between the vines, wrapped around her body, and soared into the sky.
***
Two whirlwinds near Lake Chad . It was shaking violently, as if they were about to collide at any moment.
‘…If the Spirit King and the manager of the World Tree face each other, this city will be destroyed in half.’
Prydwen, carrying the Spirit King’s Moon and her friends, has just flown into the western sky.
If she could just face the Spirit King, she would be able to put an end to this situation. But that
‘s it…
——
The bunches of green vines rising from the underground had already engulfed dozens of buildings.
Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Se-hee, and Park Jun-mo were floating in the air, looking down at the scene blankly.
‘But… Even though the secret operation went completely wrong, the enemy’s lines Are you going to fight in?’
Considering that, Lee Hyun-wook’s guess was that the villains’ plot was still ongoing.
‘Otherwise, there was no way they would choose a sit-in protest over flight even though the plan was completely ruined.’
To find out what that other number was, it was necessary to look through the vines.
“We have to stop that from now on. But… it seems like you’re a rather difficult opponent.”
“Well, when was the last time you weren’t picky? You’re going to say that and then wipe it all out by yourself?”
Kim Se-hee said, floating in the air, taking out two daggers and holding them.
“I would like to, but this time is really difficult for me.”
At that time—
Quad Deed——!
Among the green waves that encroached on the area, something that looked like a light purple flower bud rose up and stood tall like a tower. The flower bud opened slightly, revealing an elegant figure inside. Long silver hair fluttering
. An elegant woman stood tall and raised her red eyes.
– Flos Ruber, Manager of the Dark Elf Forest (LV: 119)
I already knew that woman was here, but when I checked again, my tongue clenched.
‘Tsk, again . Then, the most difficult opponent for me is coming in person…’
In the previous life, the dark elf army conquered Europe, destroyed Yggdrasil, and advanced to the Middle East.
At that time, the human allied forces formed a cordon on the border between Israel and Jordan to attack them. ‘And I fought
that woman three times on the battlefield of Jerusalem.’
Lee Hyun-wook was defeated by that female dark elf several times. No matter how many steel weapons he mobilized and poured down like rain, he could not stop the flood of man-eating creatures that continued to grow. ‘In the end, Inferno joined and burned down the entire Green Wave
. I was able to stop it only at the end…’
According to common sense, the best thing to do when dealing with a forest elementalist was a fire-type attack.
However, there were not many fire-type weapons that Lee Hyun-wook could use.
In AD-2, ‘ There are a few ‘fire traps’, but they alone do not cause any significant damage.
‘The only thing that is effective is Chloride Storm, one of Mjolnir’s skills…’
However, expecting to sort everything out with that one hit is a stroke of luck. It was leaning in.
‘We need to use that to create an opportunity to target the forest elementalists inside those vines.’
Even now, the problem was that this place was near ‘Yggdrasil’ rather than anywhere else. A being
filled with enormous vitality drastically increases the growth rate of all plants in the area.
Once they have already taken root, ‘green’ ‘Wave’ continues to grow with the same blessings.
‘In fact, it may be more difficult than dealing with them in [Green Hell], their home base.’
That may be the reason why an elite unit called forest elementalists was sent here…
‘So… this situation is not at all advantageous. But we can be outmaneuvered.’
Lee Hyun-wook came up with a number based on his past life experience and then looked at Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo.
“Those bunches of vines are a kind of forest. So all kinds of monsters will come out soon.”
Next, other dark elves appeared within the soaring small flower buds.
– Dark Elf Druid (LV：62)
A total of 14 people… They tame monsters native to ‘Green Hell’ and use them as weapons.
“And of course , “It may sound obvious, but the answer to dealing with subordinates is to deal with ‘spell casters.’”
I had to target the 14 dark elf druids and the boss monster, Flos Ruber. And above all, there are those who are still destroying the spirits underground and growing the green wave…” “The
key to this battle is to deal with those people somehow, so you will have to take advantage of the opportunity.”
Easier said than done, but it was impossible to target them through the ground covered in green waves.
However, at Lee Hyun-wook’s words, the two people looked determined and drew their weapons.
“And Park Jun-mo uses Mjolnir’s ‘Flame Storm’ when I give instructions.”
Park Jun-mo firmly grasped the Mjolnir he was holding in his right hand with both hands.
“Yes, I will stay alert and wait!”
At that moment, the dark elf druids took out what looked like an oak barrel and opened the lid.
“What is that?”
Aren’t things that can be described as a swarm of bees starting to come out inside?
Why—Ae—Ae—Ae—!
‘Those barrels… they’re pocket spaces.’
A pocket space was a high-dimensional subspace where even living things could reside.
A fairly large insect nest had been created inside that wooden cylinder.
– Green Hell Poisonous Bug (LV: 34)
It is only level 34, but it is a different story if the number reaches thousands.
And as long as that barrel was not closed, it could easily have increased several times.
The swarm of insects came in a wide fan shape, billowing like black fog.
The first to move was Sehee Kim.
“Ugh—that’s disgusting… but I’ll take care of that!”
She sensed the winds that had secretly flowed earlier and pulled them as if pulling reins.
At that moment, the wind that had been flowing loosely moved violently, creating a gust of wind.
C’mon—c’mon—c’mon!”
The swarm of flying insects was ground up as if it had been run in a blender, and green blood poured down like rain.
“Have you seen that woman? I guess she’s a wind elementalist?”
“Oh, let’s catch him and make him kill his spirit and each other!”
He often said such terrible things that did not fit the noble character of the commonly known elf.
Meanwhile, Kim Se-hee’s blow was great, but it only grazed one side.
Park Jun-mo came next. He had no flight skills, so he came forward, waddling as if he was swimming.
” after! “Then I’ll try to use what I’ve been practicing!”
Electric currents flowed from both his hands and came together to form several spheres.
“Huh—!”
They shot forward and released electric current in all directions at regular intervals.
Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay!
It functions like a kind of automatic turret and destroys anything that approaches it. If you hit a swarm of insects flying close to each other, an electric current passes through their bodies and many of them are electrocuted.
“Oh… Park Jun-mo has grown quite a bit, hasn’t he?”
As the two people demonstrated their skills in succession, the approaching swarm of insects significantly decreased.
‘As expected, both of them are optimal for dealing with large numbers of people, so I will tie down the druids well.’
Lee Hyun-wook left the forest druids to the two people and turned to Flos Ruber.
“Be careful… She is stronger than any elementalist I have ever seen except for that woman, the manager of the World Tree!”
Maru was overwhelmed by Flos Ruber’s overwhelming power. I felt ‘spirit control’ and was very wary.
“You’re not even an elementalist, but you have a pretty good spirit, right? “I can tell.”
Her voice spread through some kind of magic and could be clearly heard hundreds of meters away.
“But that’s stupid. If you don’t have the power to control the spirits, it’s just a waste of mana.”
As she gracefully stretched out her pale fingers, she wriggled from the floor like a sea anemone and flew in.
Lee Hyun-wook soared higher into the sky, creating a Mogley propeller and giving it rotation.
To-doo-duh-duh-duh–!
2t The metal rotating body weighing 4 tons pulverized all the approaching vines.
“Oh, it’s an ingenious use of ability, but such a clumsy trick will only last you a very short time!”
Flos Ruber clicked his tongue and this time raised both hands. Then, plants that looked like towers sprouted up from between the green waves, opened their mouths, and spewed out something. Chu-chu-chu-chu——! “Everyone, be
careful
. !”
Those were hundreds of poisonous stings. Just one hit paralyzes the affected area for 10 minutes.
In the past, the top player unit in Israel was completely wiped out after being covered in them.
The small stingers were spread out so wide that it was difficult to avoid them, and it was actually a large shield. was needed.
Lee Hyun-wook urgently created a shield by creating metal and tried to block all three people…
“I’ll stop something like that, so do something about that woman!”
At that moment, Maru fell into the building. The roof of the building was crushed and lifted up in its entirety.
Kwajik
broke them into small pieces and scattered them widely toward the ground, and the poisonous stinger was caught on the stone pieces.
“…Useful as expected.”
“Is it barely useful? I saved you!”
But that wasn’t the end.
“Something comes again!”
This time, purple flowers bloomed, and some spheres shot out of the buds.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spheres exploded one after another in the air, coloring the shadow of Yggdrasil with colorful colors. It was
beautiful on the outside, but if you got caught in it, your skin would melt like cheese.
Lee Hyun-wook quickly soared into the air and escaped the radius, but he was worried about the other two.
‘Damn it, I can’t even pay attention to those two and make them move.’
Still, Kim Se-hee was able to fly freely with the wind, but Park Jun-mo, who had no mobility skills, was floating in the air and struggling. Fortunately,
Hani flew in and saved him.
“Ah, anyway, Park Jun-mo, it takes a lot of work!”
“…Ugh, sorry.”
“You focus on attacking first and I will defend!”
However, Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo worked together better than expected.
“Then I will intercept those flowers, so fly me towards the ground!”
At Park Jun-mo’s words, Kim Se-hee strongly pushed his body to the ground. However, Kim Se-hee fired a gust of wind and changed the orbit of the spheres flying towards him, and at the same time, Hani moved his body.
“Aaaah, here we go!” At that moment, numerous electric spheres thrown by Park
Jun-
mo poured towards the purple flowers, and at the
same time as they hit, a blue electric current burst out, crushing the area, and the purple petals melted.
Meanwhile, Hyun-wook Lee used the Moglei propeller . It was turning and moving forward.
“Okay, come—!”
Before we knew it, we had reached a distance of about a hundred meters from the flower bud where Floss Ruber was sitting.
As Lee Hyun-wook approached, she raised the corners of her mouth and raised both hands.
“Steelane, I have already heard many stories about you.”
“…….”
“That means… I have full knowledge of your weapons.”
She said confidently, spreading her arms as if to say, “If you want to come, come.”
Hyunwook Lee paid no heed and opened the subspace of 12 AD-2s.
Shhh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!
Hundreds of weapons rushed furiously towards a single point.
But…
“Yes, I knew Cheolbi would come out with such an obvious attack!”
She clasped her hands as if she was pulling something out and raised them above her head.
Kudududu——
Then the ‘green wave’ rose vertically from the ground, creating a huge green wall.
At first glance, it was reminiscent of huge green waves as they continued to move violently.
“How can you get through me?”
The bunch of vines wriggled like a snake and began to block the incoming metal weapons.
Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty!
“I know that among your weapons, just being careful with that huge sword is enough.”
However, only a small portion of the metal weapons were struck down by the Mogley. The
remaining hundreds of metal weapons were stuck in a bunch of vines.
Lee Hyun-wook gave him metal control to pull them out, but…
murmur— murmur—
“Tsk, tsk, it’s no use. ”
No matter how much force I applied, it wouldn’t come out. His weapons had become tangled in a bunch of vines.
“No matter how hard you try to pull it out, it’s no use. “This vine is strong enough to destroy a building.”
As if being sucked into a swamp, Lee Hyun-wook’s weapons completely disappeared into the vine bundle.
Hyunwook Lee closed his eyes and used his metal control to sense where the metal weapons were.
‘They’re all being dragged underground. ‘I’m trying to make sure they can’t take it out.’
His weapon was trapped deep in the depths of the Green Wave’s roots.
“Do you understand now? Your reputation is nothing more than a joke to me.”
Plos Ruber shouted with great excitement as if everything was going according to plan.
However, Lee Hyun-wook did not give up and once again fired hundreds of metal weapons.
Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh
! This…is dumber than I thought? “Why can’t I learn?”
As expected, Lee Hyun-wook did not stop, squeezing out all the metal weapons and firing them at them.
Shhh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!
“Is that really the only thing you know how to do? Why don’t you use that giant sword’s skill without hesitation?”
Now he had a somewhat bored expression on his face, so he shook his head as if he was pathetic and even gave some advice.
“Boss… Is it okay to pour so much into it when it doesn’t work at all?”
Even Kim Se-hee, who was fighting nearby, expressed concern with a puzzled expression.
Lee Hyun-wook’s strength comes from being able to maintain multiple metal weapons.
But if he gets eaten by vines like that, doesn’t that mean he’s losing those weapons?
That’s it. Even if you use shredding inside, it won’t cause much damage. In other words,
from anyone’s perspective, Lee Hyun-wook was fighting a battle where the damage was uncharacteristically severe.
But…
“…Well, it’s about time for a reaction?”
Lee Hyun-wook still had a relaxed expression and did not stop his barrage of metal weapons.
“Huh? “What did you say just now?”
Lee Hyun-wook smiled for the first time and answered Flos Ruber’s question.
“Let me tell you one thing: if you pick up anything and eat it, you’ll get in trouble.”
“…what?”
“Unfortunately, your species doesn’t seem to have this obvious lesson?”
And then something really strange started to happen.
Tsutsutsutsu——
The green wave that had been encroaching on the area was noticeably shrinking.
Like bushes that have been sprayed with herbicides, healthy vegetation withers in an instant.
“…What’s going on?”
Floss Ruber, who noticed the symptom belatedly, frowned and contacted someone.
The ones supplying power to this green wave were the elementalists of the underground forest.
– Ugh, Manager of the Forest, this strange curse has suddenly been placed on all of us!”
“Huh? What do you mean by a curse? The area where you are is not affected by the battle!”
She closed her eyes and sensed what was happening beneath her through her forest spirits.
And…
– Caution! You have fallen into Balmung’s Curse ‘Bridle of Pain (Level 3)’.
* All healing effects are temporarily reduced. (-40%)
* ‘Heavy’ bleeding occurs temporarily in various parts of the body.
* Temporarily, mental power is ‘significantly’ reduced, causing hallucinations and hallucinations.
* Temporarily, the body’s strength is ‘significantly’ reduced. (-50%)
* All abilities are reduced by ‘Evil Spirit Restraint’. (-20%)
He noticed that the above status was given to his subordinates.
Yes. Among the weapons dragged in by the Green Wave below was ‘Balmung’.
‘One of the ways that woman in my past life bullied me was by sealing the weapon like this.’
And cleverly, it deflected weapons with area-of-effect skills like Moglai.
Lee Hyun-wook knew exactly what weapon to use and attacked it thoroughly.
However, because Lee Hyun-wook had never shown ‘Balmung’, he could not filter out the sword.
‘……In other words, if you use that woman’s tactics against her, you can completely outmanoeuvre her like this.’
In the end, the sword was sucked underground and began to impose a ‘curse’ on the area, and the forest elementalists who were responsible for the production of the Green Wave lost their power as they were pickled by the curse.
‘Now the regeneration of the green wave is noticeably weakened.’
Lee Hyun-wook raised both hands and four Moghlays and Sudarsanas lined up behind him.
And…
Park Jun-mo, it’s now!”
“Oh yeah! I’ll be right there!”
At that moment, Park Jun-mo threw away Mjolnir and simultaneously casted ‘Flame Storm.’
Lee Hyun-wook used all his skills, dropping four Moglais towards that point.
The earth shook for a while, and the forest collapsed into ashes.
