Chapter 341 Graxar (5)
It was a sudden situation.
Seeing the flames from Roman Dmitri winding around the World Tree, Teresa was startled and tried to stop it.
however.
tall.
I stopped walking.
Something was strange.
“… what is this?”
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
It was an indescribable scene.
Teresa felt the heat as if her body would melt just by approaching her, but Roman Dmitri and the World Tree seemed unconcerned even as they were on fire.
I blinked my eyes several times.
Although it clearly existed in the middle of the flames, it did not feel the heat nor did it appear to be burning anywhere.
It was unreal.
In a situation that went against the providence of nature, Tersha looked at the situation in a state of fascination.
It was then.
drip drip
A drop of water fell from the World Tree.
At first, I couldn’t understand the situation.
When I belatedly lifted my head and looked at the upper part, the white frozen parts began to melt and drop water droplets.
It was a scene that could not be explained by the common sense of the elves.
The world tree is a being that has a substance based on the energy of a tree, but that does not apply to the general phenomenon that people know.
The reason why the world tree froze is not simply because of the cold.
The chill from the dimensional rift ate away the life force, causing the World Tree to freeze.
blast furnace.
This was impossible.
I couldn’t understand how the fire didn’t burn and how the fire melted the frozen parts.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
The fire grew stronger.
As the World Tree gradually regained its original color, the surroundings changed as if it were assimilated.
softly.
The light spread out.
Green leaves grew on the bare tree branches, and as the snow-covered ground melted, the grass hiding under the ground peeked out.
The strong wind also died down. The snow, which had been falling heavily, also seemed to be abating in the area of the elves.
It was the influence of the world tree that Tersha had never experienced before.
He only regained some of his vitality, but the power from the World Tree changed his surroundings.
could not dry
No, there was no reason to stop.
I couldn’t understand what the situation was, but Roman Dmitri was accomplishing the regeneration of the world tree that the elves desperately wanted.
No oracles, no prophecies. I’ve never been told of a situation like this.
The only thing Tersha could do was to watch the miracle appear before her eyes.
That moment.
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
Roman Dmitri’s consciousness was sucked somewhere in the flames.
* * *
It was a strange feeling.
Roman Dmitri was watching what was happening in a space with only his consciousness present.
“Report the situation.”
dark space.
The person sitting in the seat of honor said.
Two people were kneeling in front of him, but their faces could not be seen because of the darkness.
One person went first.
“Starting from the case of Roman Dmitri, the powers of the past, including the Duke of Vieto, began to stand up. What they want is the romance of Valhalla. In a situation where Valhalla, who once prioritized the value of a warrior, is openly committing cowardly acts, the Duke of Vieto is coming to the fore and rallying the people. The public is on their side. If you instigate the situation a little more, it will turn into civil war in an instant.”
like he said.
War clouds hung over Valhalla.
People flocked from all over Valhalla to express their dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Valhalla.
OK.
someone else said
“The Emperor of Valhalla is responding strongly to this situation. Instead of listening to the masses, they are rallying troops and suppressing them by force. Most of Valhalla’s power is under the Emperor’s control. Should he give the order to subdue the rebellion, Valhalla will face irreparable disaster.”
“Puha.”
The presence of the head of state burst into laughter.
It was fun.
The way it turned made him amused.
face forward.
His slightly exposed face had the look of ‘Alexander’ that Roman Dmitri remembered.
“Our plan is progressing steadily without a single deviation. The variable caused by Dmitri is just a trivial thing that doesn’t even deserve to be described as a variable when it achieves what we hoped for. Rather, it gave me the opportunity to advance what I had been planning for a long time. incite people stimulate people The moment Valhalla is engulfed in war, we will be able to hasten the moment we hoped for.”
Sigh.
Leaned.
As soon as Alexander tried to say anything more, the space began to distort.
jjijijijik.
Things have changed.
It was a different space this time.
A woman with a miserable appearance sat down on the floor and distorted her expression.
“… Keugh.”
There was blood on his side.
When I put my hand on it to activate divine power, the wound as if it had been inflicted by a beast quickly healed.
She was Isabel.
Someone approached her.
“Your Majesty the Queen. You must return to Luna. The demons of Kronos have already seen through our plan. Fighting further when all soldiers are lost will only endanger Her Majesty. I beg you kindly. Please listen to me just once.”
Took.
got down on his knees
Commander of the Royal Knights of Luna.
Leo asked in a desperate voice.
“That’s not allowed.”
I shook my head.
because there are only two
Isabelle seemed a little at ease.
“Leo. Since I was born, the purpose of my life has been set. Being an oracle, I always lived doing God’s will. But how could I betray His will? I can’t run away from here saying I’ll take care of myself by pushing all the people who believed in me and followed me to their limbs.”
My voice trembled.
Demons of Kronos.
Soldiers were killed by them.
Isabel was in the vanguard and raised a blessing, but the soldiers began to crumble due to the constant waves of enemies.
I still remember the situation at that time clearly.
Even at the moment when the limbs were torn apart, the soldiers shouted the name of God and stabbed their weapons, but Isabel knew that it meant nothing.
Enemies are infinite.
Humans have limits, but enemies have no limits.
Isabelle stood up.
She may have recovered on the outside with divine power, but her body complained of pain from the arduous journey here and there.
His expression changed.
Isabelle said in a different, stiffer voice than usual.
“As Queen of Luna, I must accept my destiny as a person who serves God’s will. Commander of the Royal Knights. You go back to twenty thousand Luna. It is enough for me alone to bear the harsh fate.”
took a step
drew the sword
Leo clenched his fist at the sight of her disappearing into the darkness.
“… damn it.”
It was hopeless.
Isabelle and Leo.
Both of them were unaware of the future that was right in front of them.
The soldiers also knew that fighting the demons of Cronus would lead to death, but none of them showed any attempt to escape by telling the truth.
Queen Isabel and those who follow her.
Those who pledged to sacrifice for the gods wished to die doing the will of the gods even if they died.
but.
Leo was different.
He followed Isabel, not God.
resent God
The more you do God’s duty.
The closer you get to the truth.
This was not something humans could handle.
It might have been wiser to be thankful that human lifespan is a hundred years, and to pray that despair would not come while he was still alive.
Leo was just a weak human being.
He succumbed to reality several times while fighting the demons of Cronus, but when Isabel disappeared into darkness, he raised his sword.
‘Oh God. Please save us.’
took a step
Follow Isabelle.
He too disappeared into the darkness.
maybe.
He will die because of this choice.
* * *
Opened his eyes.
The link with the World Tree was severed.
It was a strange feeling.
Memories that could have happened in the past or could have happened in the present were intricately intertwined in my head.
‘Alexandre and Isabel.’
first.
Through Alexander’s conversation, he learned that he was inducing riots in Valhalla.
Valhalla colluded with the Kronos Empire.
However, since they are also an empire with enormous power, it was the most ideal scenario for Cronus to destroy Valhalla by civil war.
That’s why the Duke of Vieto’s rebellion was brought to the fore.
Cairo’s central government, Hector’s poor harvest, Redford’s Earl of Rondon, etc. Cronus, who had eaten away each country from the inside in various ways, this time targeted the Valhalla Empire.
if.
If Valhalla suffers a major blow, the balance of the continent will collapse.
Even if they claim to be neutral, their existence had a special meaning just by being still.
Currently, the continent is a composition of three rivers.
Kronos, Valhalla, and the union of kingdoms following Roman Dmitri.
It was a structure in which two powers bite each other in a pointless war, and the other power had no choice but to benefit.
second.
Isabel’s disappearance was voluntary.
I don’t know what truth she came to, but Isabel risked her life to stop some conspiracy that Cronus was planning.
Perhaps it has something to do with the mother elf’s words.
The Mother Elf mentioned the connection with the Pandemonium in the case of Graxar, so it was necessary to investigate this.
‘If I follow Isabel’s actions, I will be able to know some of the truth.’
There was a lot to do.
It was time to return to Dmitry.
however.
Roman Dmitry belatedly confirmed that the environment around him had changed.
As his consciousness was sucked into the flames, he did not know what changes he had caused.
And that wasn’t all.
Let’s look back.
“Savior of Arcadia. Please accept the loyalty of our elven clan!”
“Please accept my loyalty!”
Thousands of elves.
They all knelt down and bowed their heads.
* * *
The time when Roman Dmitry was connected to the World Tree.
The elves went into a frenzy.
At the tremendous change caused by the World Tree, they gathered all at once and asked Tersha.
“What the hell is this?!”
“… I don’t know why either. The moment the benefactor put his hand on the World Tree, a huge fire erupted from him and the World Tree began to melt. What is certain is that it is a change due to benefactors.”
I was astonished.
Regeneration of the World Tree.
It was the longed-for wish of the elves.
What they somehow wanted to achieve became a reality through someone completely unexpected.
yet.
The Mother Elves have arrived.
She looked at the World Tree and Roman Dmitri in flames and couldn’t hide her surprise.
“… Controlling the flames of the fire.”
It was clear.
Flames from Roman Dmitri.
It was a mass of fire demons.
Roman Dmitry met the dwarves in the underworld and the brown rock leading them said that the lump of fire might be the clue to melting the World Tree.
However, I did not dare to approach the uncontrollable heat.
The mass of fire was forgotten in their memory, but its intense power was manifested right in front of their eyes.
suddenly.
Mother Elf remembered the moment she was connected to the World Tree.
When she first encountered Roman Dmitri’s presence, she felt an indescribably strong feeling.
“iced coffee.”
A thrill arose.
sure
A being that slaughtered orcs.
He was a savior.
An existence that can do more than just defeat Orcs.
Things have changed.
Mother Elf turned around and said.
“Listen up, all elves! Our benefactor, Roman Dmitri, saved us from the cruel Orcs and even revived the World Tree. He has proven himself to be the one who will save the world. Gaiar, your mother, believes that Roman Dmitri has a future for the elves!”
He raised his voice.
The elves flocked to Mother Elf’s words.
“Follow Roman Dmitry! Dedicate yourself to Him! His will will be the future we hope for!”
Worshiped.
Everyone looked at Roman Dmitry in unison.
Time passed.
in the blazing fire.
Roman Dmitry did not move.
It was only a moment of time he felt, but during that time, the sun went down and rose again to light up the world.
It wasn’t until the next day like that.
Roman Dmitry opened his eyes.
That moment.
The Mother Elf knelt first, then lowered her head and shouted.
“Savior of Arcadia. Please accept the loyalty of our elves!”
“Please accept my loyalty!”
Thousands of elves worshiped after her.
A family of purity.
Excluding God, beings who follow no one’s will cried out for their allegiance to a human being.
