Chapter 1171 – Shrine of Wind

Aaaaa-!!

Cheers boiled over at the appearance of a hero so dramatic that lightly surpasses common sense.
A bright smile appeared on the face of Aldia, who was prepared for death, and a sense of relief and trust appeared on the face of Palyu, who was nervous inside.

Post clicked his tongue.

“…You act like you won everything. Control of the storm. I have it too!!”

Whoops! The storm that Dre had been riding in was far away again.
For a moment, Post was nervous about Dre taking back control of the storm. Dre didn’t seem interested.

‘But. That storm is the most dangerous of all, as long as there is a possibility of being caught up in the surroundings. They don’t intend to attack me with that.’

A post that reassured me. Stopped.

‘…Are you relieved?’

Get this power Are you still watching
Cringe After this, Post’s body began to change.
The cheers stopped at the tremendous rise in power, and tension settled in the area again.

“Congratulations on your splendid appearance. By the way. What the hell is that?”

Shook!! The intangible who moved next to Dre asked the question, and Dre put his chin on his chin and thought carefully before saying.

“…Is it a monster?”

As the saying goes, unlike before, when I felt the beauty as if the flower had taken on a human form, now it was a muscular monster with a grotesque appearance covered in armor such as leaves and tree bark.
Even if it is 4 meters tall, it gives off the feeling of a monster.
If I had to express it further, I could say ‘The Demon King’.

“What, what…!”
“The appearance has changed… Keugh. Cool memory!”

The elves coughed dryly.
Just by breathing that monster, the surrounding vitality is being sucked in.

“Should I call it a combat form?”

Rabband gripped the dagger tightly and let out a tired voice.
In the current post, I felt a destructive power that was incomparable to the previous one.

Slither.

Thousands of tree trunks seemed to wriggle, then gathered in the hand of the post.
The stems soon changed into the shape of a long ax spear that was well over 5 meters long.
A bioweapon that makes you faint just by looking at it.

The intangible laughed as he saw the enemy getting more and more unanswered.

“Hey. What about that? Even when I was in normal condition earlier, even when I stabbed the thief sister several times with a knife, there was no reaction.”
“Ah. That’s probably because it absorbed the Dark Forest. What…”

Dre smiled troubledly.

“It seems like that’s only the first line of defense, but I can solve the problem you mentioned if you give it time.”

Absolute defense that does not damage even when stabbed is only the first defense?
Intangible clicked his tongue.

“That’s ridiculous.

Before you finish talking. Cuckoo-! The land suddenly rose, and dozens or hundreds of tree branches the size of buildings sprouted out.
Each one had a pointy tip like an awl, and the seeds were tightly packed, causing xenophobia.

“Is it strategy meeting time in front of me? You’re so arrogant.”

Spirit of Prunar. The being who now possessed Post’s consciousness pointed the tip of the ax at Dre and the immaterial. It was a signal to attack.
Kwaaang-! It wasn’t enough that the huge trees were shot all at once, and leaves and petals started falling from the sky.

Dre said, closely examining every attack.

“Hmm~ Each of those gigantic trees has a function of absorbing vitality, and dozens of seeds will sprout the moment you get stabbed, so you should think it’s the end if you get hit. And the leaves and petals that fall from the sky intervene in all your energy as well as your emotions. It seems that there is a special spell that can be performed.”

Each attack is close to instant death, and the debuff that makes it difficult to avoid those attacks dominates the battlefield.

It’s no wonder that the elves suddenly collapsed, cried violently, or lost their way in anger.
Intangible clicked his tongue.

“Isn’t it time to calmly analyze it? How can that not be solved with the storm that came earlier?”
“I can do it, but I think the holy map will fly with it.”
“There’s no need for that.”

Right after someone interrupted the two people’s voices, unpleasant crunches rang out from all directions.

Insects clung to the leaves and petals that fell like rain. A tree root like a tidal wave broke off in the middle, and a bunch of insects jumped out from the middle.
Post startled and summoned a huge petal in front of him. Above all, the petals that seemed to be harder exploded in an instant! It pierced and something flew at Post like a missile.

Kwaaang-!!

A shock to the extent that the world went dark in an instant.
When the world regained its original color, what appeared was Dimir, clad in insect armor, similar in appearance to the Black Knight.
His claws collided with Post’s ax spear.
It was only in a binding state where blades collided with each other, but that alone made the world creak.

Dimir exclaimed.

“I’ll take my time!! Think of a way to deal with this guy in the meantime!!”
“Haha. Legendary man. Are you overdoing it?!?!”

Quaang! Bang! The clash between Dimir and Post.
The elves betrayed them, but when the time of crisis came, they shouted and opened fire in support, encouraged by the old hero’s efforts to help them.
Aldia, who looked at him with a bitter smile, silently called a storm and broke the roots of the trees flying towards Dimir.

Dre tilted his head.

“That man. Why are you running the washing machine all of a sudden?”
“They didn’t want the Holy Land to be like this. More than that. What is that really? Doesn’t it make sense?”

The intangible grumbled, asking the same question for the third time.

“That one. It’s much stronger than Arras. No matter how many secrets Elyunar has, it’s like that. Where does a guy like that keep popping up?”

Dre said, looking sideways at the intangible, who was full of a warlike smile, unlike the words that seemed to be dying from illness.

“It’s not that unreasonable. If that’s the existence I’m thinking of, then it deserves to be that strong.”

I didn’t know, but I asked. Did you figure out its identity? The formless eyes of surprise asked.

“…What is that?”
“Do you remember the fight for the rope?”
“? When you fought Askatlov?”
“Yes. Then. And also when I went to the nest of evil spirits to follow the Demonic Cult in Matan.”

The intangible nodded.

“Then, the special monsters I saw back then. The King of Beasts and the King of Ghosts must also be remembered.”
“…Is that what it is?”

What Dre said is the concept of a direct subordinate of the ‘God King’. It was called ‘named’.
In the case of Askatlov, there were eight, and the evil spirit had four direct subordinates called kings.

Dre thinks. I don’t know why the first Winte gave such a name to the spirit of Pryunar and put it in the holy ground, but that’s definitely something similar to them.

“This is just a guess, but the fewer the number of direct subordinates, the stronger it will be. And now I’ve come to think of it, maybe the spirit of Pryunar should have been with Winte in the first place.”

The puzzle of Pryunar’s spirit required strong Ryunar and spirit power at the same time.
If it weren’t for this regular named Lena, she would have had as much elemental power as the high elf and hero First Winte.

Quaang-! Kwaaaaang-!

Tremendous binge.
Dimir stood firm even in the feast of flowers that seemed to have changed the laws of the world, but he began to be pushed back little by little. Dimir sighed as the wound on the ax blade hadn’t healed at all, and Dre, who was closely looking at the wooden ax spear, continued.

“In other words, it’s the guy who assumed that he was going to catch it with the first Winte. Also, those leaves didn’t help him resurrect for nothing, right? What kind of being do they worship?”
“…Ah.”

She made a face that seemed to know even the intangible.
The leaves are the beings that serve the ‘divine beast’.
That is, that.

“That’s the apostle of the ‘Shinsu’. Perhaps if you catch that monster, you’ll have the right to meet the Shinsoo that’s connected to it.”

The number of gods is five in total.

Yohoshin.
Turtle god.
Holy Dragon.
And a fire dragon.

Maybe. If you catch him
You will be able to meet the last Shinsoo whose name you don’t even know yet.

Kwaaaaang-!

“Aagh!”

A thunderous roar rang out, shattering the worm’s armor surrounding Dimir.
Post laughed at him.

Haha! Even if you’re in perfect condition, do you think you can beat me right now? Huh? But you’re going to rub against me because you’re a mess?”

Snap! Post grabbed Dimir by the neck and chewed his head up close to his face.

“You said you survived against the invincible demon king Amron? You idiot!

Post remembers the strength of Anito, who surrendered himself and gave him a thousand-year mission.
And. He also remembered the old demon king, who was stronger than Anito, who seemed to be bored with the world.

“No one can win, not even me right now!! I probably won’t even be able to compete!! But what about you? Against the Four Heavenly Kings? You bastard. I’ve never liked you…”

Ugh.

“…And…”

Cool. Post made a face of disbelief as he spit out a yellow liquid presumed to be blood.

The ‘nucleus’ in his body. It’s broken.
Thereafter. All ‘darkness’ disappears all at once.
Through this. There will be no more emptiness where there is no feeling even when you break through his body.

The power to break the nucleus. At the place where the space sword was fired, Dre grinned as he swung the sword.

“You did well, Dimir. I’ll count it as half washed.”

Garbage is garbage even if you wash it. Dre added, and Dimir, who had been grabbed by the neck, gnashed his teeth even in that state.

“…You you…!”

The post that was about to glow stopped.
For now, the confrontation is maintained, but what if Dre attacks the Holy Land with those storms…?

‘I just have to avoid that.’

The spirit of Prunar now. No. Post, who has transformed into the ‘spirit of divine beasts’, has a mission to protect.
He choked on humiliation and cried out.

“…Eight days!! I’ll release all the elves! So get away from the Holy Land!!”
“Ok?”

Dre narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“Really, he’s like an obsessive person in life… Can’t you just step back?”
“…That’s no way! From now on, the Holy Land will become a dungeon!! I have a mission to protect the Holy Land!! And expand the territory of the Holy Land!”

Post didn’t really want to fight Dre.

‘Why?’

Even after gaining this power, why do I still feel so ominous at the age of eight days?

‘No.’

Rather, this power. I know because I got the power of a divine beast.
That… Something absurdly ominous.
That something, on such an ominous subject, the human figure spoke.

“There’s no guarantee that it won’t gradually spread its power from the Holy Land, so why? I have to kill you now, when you’re weakest.”

The post’s breaking news began to boil in an impudent voice.

“…It’s stupid. The Dark Forest is gone. What? Do you think you can kill me?”

As Dre said earlier, that was only the first line of defense.

“Where do you use your boastful cutting sword!! Because I’m so hard that I can deflect it with my bare body!!”

That was no bluff.
The body of Post, the spirit of the divine beast, which had grown rapidly with the nutrients of the dark forest, was absurdly strong.

If I had to argue, I can feel the power of Askatlov, which is similar to that of the man-puppet form in the past, when he gathered up his remaining strength and made a fuss.

At that time, there was help from Kitz, countless other users, and authority, and Askatlov was full of restrictions.
But now he is different.

So that.
The gifted assassin tried to weaken his opponent.

The spirit of the divine beast that stared at Dre. Post’s eyes widened.

‘What? Where did the intangible go?’

I can’t see him next to Dre!
It’s not sinister, but Mana has a more unusual constitution than anyone else. The one the world fears…!
And.

“Isn’t it too strong for you? Come to the world of worms too.”
“!!”

Behind your back. When I thought I could hear an intangible voice in my ear, Ryunar was unfolding.
Human extremes.
Proclamation of heart.

“Proclamation of the realm. Achromatic color…”
“Joy!”

Awesome! Post cut through the air with a wooden ax spear.
Then, tree roots tumbled through the cracks in the air and stopped Ryunar from unfolding. Meanwhile, Post hurriedly pulled away.

“?!”

Intangible made a puzzled face.
Although I had seen people who had escaped or avoided the realm of the depths, this was the first time anyone had stopped the development itself.

Dre, who had flown next to the intangible, marveled.

“Wow. Do you think the area touched by that ax spear changes to that guy’s domain? In addition, the tree roots that came out of the cracks in the dimension cut by the ax spear also have a function to steal life. If the body is cut with that weapon, it will just end. “

It’s not enough to use the instant kill all the time, so the more you fight, the more the field becomes advantageous to the spirit of the divine beast. Everyone was stunned by the specs that the more you know, the more you can’t help but be stumped.

Post, who had barely escaped from the crisis, said in a cold sweat.

“As expected, you’re excellent. Mr. Yeodere. Then you know that you can’t protect the elves while fighting me.”

The post said.

“And what’s the reason you and I fight to the point of blood? I heard you. They said they didn’t acknowledge you and came here because they didn’t recognize you?”
“…”

Dre saw Aldia and the elves.
Most of the elves seemed to have no strength to raise her head, drained of life, and Aldia broke out in a cold sweat with her head bowed with a face that did not know what emotion was.

She is a woman who knows the truth.
She is anyone who is not her. Dre didn’t have to risk his life right now, he thought there was no reason to turn down Post’s offer.

The more I thought about it, the monster called the spirit of the divine beast was a ridiculous existence that boasted more strength than the demon king of Jin Purgatory.
Just like that monster said, Dre’s loyalty to risk his life for those who once rebelled…

“Why not?”

Dre grinned.
And he squinted at Al Dia and her palli.
The two high elves flinched at his gaze.

“This is where my friends are. It’s my friends’ hometown. I have to protect it.”

Dre got ready to fight, with Raband and Intangible standing beside him.

“Hmm! Well done! Now you’re speaking like a member of the Hero Party!”
“Sister Thief.

Tears welled up in Palyu and Aldia’s eyes.
Are they willing to risk their lives fighting monsters like that for their own sake?
Are you going to protect your hometown?

And Post ran away absurdly.

‘Whoever sees it, he said it because he was full of desire to fight with me.’

Dre isn’t fighting for anyone.
That emotion that dominates Dre, which I saw earlier in the Dark Forest.

‘Fun’

A handful of them may have a heart to protect their friends’ hometowns.
But. The overwhelming interest and fun on that face is what drives Dre.

Post sucks. Took. I felt my reasoning cut off.

“…This. Damn kid…! Who knows what’s good for a bastard like you…! It’s me, it’s me…! Me too, I’ve been stuck in a shitty place like a dark forest for a long time… !I finally found a way out…! Where did a bastard like you show up…!”

Dre scratches his cheek as he sees the post showing his colleague with great emotion.

“Hmm. I sympathize with you. If you surrender now, your life is guaranteed…”
“My life! If you can take it, take it! Eight days!!”

Float-! Kicking out of the air, Post lunged at Dre.
As he rushed forward, he turned the ax spear over his head like a windmill, and the air above him, as well as the sky, shattered, and tree roots crawled out of the dimensional rift like a whirlwind.

And.

Roaring!

“?!”

The traces of the tree’s roots were all burned by the ‘Space Sword’.
And. A sword and an ax clash.

Aww-oh!!

“Kuk!”
“Oh…!”

Jerrit. Jerrit.
It was Dre’s side that was pushed back by anyone’s eyes, but a match was established.
Post, who was about to kill him with one shot, groaned, and Dre grinned.

In addition, the traces drawn by the ax spear were completely burned, and the tree roots that robbed the vitality could not come out.
Post advantage. The advantage that the more you fight, the more you fight, the advantage is gone.

“What, what…!”

In the meantime, Intangible and Rapband rushed at Post from both sides.
Four arms made of flowers and leaves sprouted from Post’s abdomen, and they engaged in a bloody melee.

Dre, meanwhile, burrowed into his arms and lifted his sword up from under Post’s chin.

“Okay kid! Let’s go wherever we go!!”

Pew!! I leaped with all my might and swung the ax spear with all my might in the sky where the post was, away from the joint effort of the three people.

Shukaak-!! Damn-!

A huge sword pierced the sky.
Huge ‘tree roots’ descend from the cracked sky as if to cover the sacred ground.
The root takes away all the surrounding energy as if it were natural. All of the bows and elemental attacks fired to break the roots disappeared.

All of that missing power was being absorbed by the post.

“No, that’s a bit.”

I clicked my tongue, not knowing how many intangibles it was.
And Dre… Put his hand to his heart.

“I’ll write it.”

God Score Skill.
And your own spark.
It’s an opponent you can’t win if you don’t use all of them.
And. A soft voice rang out.

“No. Teacher. Never do it.”

That moment. The post was staggered.

Whoaaaaa!!

“?!”

He couldn’t believe it

“What, what is it. Why is my power…?”

Nutrients taken from the elves and the forest of darkness, not only spirit power, but also ‘life force’ were flowing somewhere.
Post turned his head in dismay.
Its power was absorbed by a beautiful girl in a rainbow-colored dress and crown in the distance.

“Lena?”

Dre gave a blank voice.

“Who do you think will force the teacher again?”

Lena knows too.
How much sacrifice and pain Dre takes every time he fights.

The moment she saw her decapitated by Arras, she made up her mind.
I will become strong enough that Dre will no longer have to strain himself.

Elyunar is a world that rewards strong hearts.
The girl who is not enough to be called a rare elemental sage has now pioneered a new path.

A spirit absorption technique that takes away and absorbs the spirit power and returns it to Ryunar.
Since the Spirit of the Shinsoo is also a Spirit, she cannot escape from her power.

But…

“It’s a shocking power, but it pees on frozen feet…”

Dre muttered secretly.
It’s obviously a great skill, but it’s still incomplete…
A grown-up Lena might one day be able to easily absorb even the spirit of the divine beast, but not now.

At last.

“I’m going to have to overdo it.”

Whooooo… Kwakjik!

Before Dre could finish his sentence, Post’s limbs were twisted and shattered by the blades of the jade-colored wind. Even though the scope was by no means large, the power of breaking it casually caused goosebumps.

“What…!”

The one who did it while everyone was astonished as well as the post. After successfully activating the artifact, Palyu stood proudly next to Dre against the wind.

“You. I told you not to make Maychi sad, right?”
“Palyu.”
“Ruler.”

Palyu thrust her face into Dre.
Her face flushed slightly, and the artifacts on her pointy ears glowed a vivid jade color.

“Resonance attack. Let’s try it.
“…Hehe.”

In the past, if it was an inferior style, it wouldn’t have been able to do anything in a moment of crisis like this, but now it draws out enough power to work on that post.

The elves looked at Palryu in disbelief.
Al Dia also opened her mouth, jealous that she had monopolized her sister’s favor, and she looked at the cute kid who had followed her.

“…You’ve grown up. Palyu.”
“You’ve grown. Palyu.”

Aldia and Dre shared the same sentiment.
And the moment Dre’s hand caught her dainty earring.

Puffy. Ppujijijik-!!

“…Do you poop? What is it?”

Dre, who turned her head at the strange sound, startled.
The only thing expected was that Post’s severed limbs would return to their original state.
To him, a bodily defect is not treated as a scratch.
But, let alone the restoration, I didn’t expect it to grow to that extent.

“Where do these things come from…!”

The rough-voiced post is 10 meters, not 4 meters. 20 meters. 30 meters. It was getting bigger.

“Eight days…! I! I gave you chances again and again! You kicked it!!”

In a frightening sight. Dre responded calmly.

“Did I give you a chance too? If you run away, I’ll look after you.”

The post is doing this because it doesn’t work! Damn! Instead of saying that, he filled his anger and tried to slash the ax spear, which had grown as large as her body.
Also, numerous holes opened in his body, and seeds were about to be launched.
Dre chuckles. Opened his mouth and shouted.

“Be careful, everyone!! That seed. The moment it gets stuck, it sprouts and completely takes away all energy, including Ryunar!! And the same goes for getting hit by that weapon!”

Everyone’s faces were tense at the cry that reminded them of the danger they had been talking about earlier.
Most of the attacks are equivalent to instant death, but the size has increased and it is more difficult to dodge than before.
At a level of difficulty that transcends imagination… Rae Band and Intangible rather strengthened their speculation.
So did Dre.
The stronger the enemy, the more he showed a new state, the more his body heated up.
This. Where should I attack from?

“Well then. First of all, the artifact…”

Creepy.

Dregar was trying to fix a pair of earrings. I felt goosebumps all over my body.

Creepy. Creepy.

Of so far. The greatest sense of danger swept through my body.
The intangible was the same.

Prunar’s spirit of divine beasts. Not because of the post.
From afar, there’s something to make this post ‘stuff’.
A secret power that is so strong that you can’t even notice it if you don’t have developed senses like Dre and the Intangible.

Dre hurriedly turned his head.
What the hell…?

Wow oh…

Beyond the various typhoons that somehow became transparent like a hologram.
From a place that would be dozens or hundreds of kilometers away… That ‘high elf’ was aiming an arrow straight ahead.

Beautiful.

Unrecognizable in her face, even as that sentiment plunged her, she let go of the string of her bow drawn taut.

There was no sound.
Just the result.

Puck.

“…Uh…?”

The spirit of the divine beast let out a groan.
An arrow reflected in his gaze and lodged in his stomach.
The post said what is this? He said he was kidding and tried to pull it out with his hands.

However, I couldn’t.
A quiet breeze, like a gentle breeze, pulverized his whole body like a whirlpool from within.

Gurrrr

Too desperately I can’t resist anything. The existence of the post is being erased.

“…What the fuck…”

Wow. The appearance of the post disappears, and the existing ‘flower’. In other words, only the spirit of the divine beast remained.

Spirit of the Divine Beast.
The being had no ego, but the desire to survive as a creature existed.
He defended himself with all his means of defense.

Fain!

Another arrow pierced the spirit’s body helplessly.

Aaaaa…!!

The divine beast spirit became particles of light and scattered.
Meanwhile, a voice rang in the breeze.

That voice to the Elf Queen, and to Palyu.
In other words, it was heard only by the same ‘hogkin’.

[See you soon.]
[Maybe. Within three years.]

Aldia’s and Palyu’s eyes were watery, and they shed tears.
Both said at the same time.

“”Sister…!!””

And Dre found the figure of the absolute strongest who ended this fight absurdly.

She had already disappeared.
At that moment, Palyu and Aldia stood on either side of Dre and chatted wildly.

“Heir! Oh, sister! Sister…!”
“You! Did I tell you last time? He’s He! He’s He!”
“Uh, uh…”

Dre put on a puzzled look between the two women, who seemed excited and chatted with her without asking her what to do.

That moment.

T-ring!

[You have accepted the main quest ‘Winte’.]
[Completion condition: Meet the first Winte.]

…The alarm rang.

Wow oh

Tall green hills.
A woman who exudes an appearance and atmosphere that is certain to be a peerless beauty even though she is wearing a hoodie.
Her large eyes caught her people, Palyu and Al Dia.

Wow

Between the wind, suddenly, a voice rang.

“Huh.”

The low voice, as if it would be buried in the wind, finally continued.

“You look healthy.”

***

Woo woo woo.

What do you mean?
It is the sound that echoes from the ‘gate’ created after capturing the spirit of the divine beast.
A green portal that spins tight between doors with entwined tree roots.
I calmed down the two excited high elves and approached the door with a pounding heart.
… This gate probably. The door leading to the gods.
…Shall we meet?
Now? Right now?
At that moment, the Mala Mala in me was frightened.

[No crazy hem. Then it falls behind!!]
[Quack-quick.]

Seeing that disgrace splits it up like a second grader, it’s probably okay.
At least it’s a better existence than the Holy Dragon.
Ruler. Then… Let’s go!!

I put my hand in.
And.

T-ring!

Talk
