Chapter 728 – Black Demon’s Bell

The hard bark that clings to my body cracks and falls away.
The rough fallen tree bark turns into powder and scatters. Realizing that the space magic had been activated smoothly, I crouched down and cooled my burnt body.

“Whoa…”

Meditation is effective in controlling overload on the entire body.
Bloody shoulders, unusually stiff wrists, and terrible headaches from handling a body that was twice as large as usual.

As I was kneeling and catching my breath, I felt a small presence right next to me.

“… Mister?”

Ebony sitting on the bed holding her breath.
As soon as I saw the little Jindo dog, I belatedly remembered that I had hastily specified the coordinates, which are the core of space magic.

If Alba knew about this, she would strongly criticize him, mentioning the dangers of space magic.
I smiled shyly at my embarrassed student.

“Have you been quiet?”
“Yes… Yes Oh my… No, Master. But what does that look like…”

It’s an unfamiliar title since we haven’t spoken in a while.
Ebony looked around at my face and body and stepped back in disgust.

“Is that a bit like that?”
“That… Although it is not. Because it’s unfamiliar. “It seems like a bit of a dangerous force.”

We haven’t been able to hang out for a while. His talent is real, and he knows how to feel the discomfort of the power radiating from the crown.

Barely the true ebony’s reluctant expression did not change.
I glanced at the full-length mirror next to the bed and observed myself for a moment.

“Huh, I guess other people would be surprised when they see it.”
“Yes.”

The bark had fallen off, but the veins all over the body were still protruding.
The muscle was so swollen that it seemed as if it was going to tear the skin, and the fiber bundles were clearly visible, and the color was black and red like an insect, making it disgusting.

The figure I used is the two stages of [Assimilation], An ability that combines with the crown in stages.
As the power of the factor was added, everything from output to change was vastly different from what was previously used.

“Fine… “Are you okay?”

Ebony, who was holding the blanket tightly, cast a pitiful gaze. I smiled sheepishly and stretched out my hand.
Ebony flinched at my touch. As I looked at him, I forced my stiff head out.

As I gently caressed him, his expression softened from the warmth I felt after a long time.

“Are you okay. Doesn’t it seem that way?”

Nod.
In fact, this was a sight that would shock anyone who saw it.

I extended my stroking hand and ruffled Ebony’s hair as hard as I could.

“Tsk. Okay. I’m a master…”

A disciple who cares about his teacher must protect him with all his might.
I stroked the head until it stood up like a dog’s ears, and the body’s shape returned to normal thanks to the amazing healing power.

“I may feel itchy, but please wait a little longer. Because it’s still war. After this is over, I’ll spend plenty of time with you. “Can you please bring Yeon and I to work part-time?”
“Yes. “It is possible.”
“Good. “I’ll rest for a bit.”

Let’s give him a pat on the back. Ebony jumped up and ran out to call someone.
Although I was worried about Engahero’s army, if everything went according to plan, they were wasting time fighting Suyu and Dajeong, so it was my turn to gather my strength for a moment.

【 Hey. 】
‘Why.’
【 … I’m sick 】

When it’s time for a break, he always complains.
I also frowned and responded.

‘I think I’ve shared enough pain.’
【We just covered it at the end!! 】

What is so unfair? There’s an uproar because I used some magical energy to mess with Flower.
I’m not very talented at magic, so I had to concentrate, so Insa helped out a bit.

The result is very satisfactory.
The base was destroyed in a spectacular manner, forcing Flower to retreat.

Was it a new executive? Her personality seemed cautious. So she went overboard with the Allies.
She expected that, seeing the fortress collapsing without any resistance, she would choose to retreat, and this continued.
Next, move to the location you have previously identified and apply all the wide-area magic you have learned so far.

Fortunately, it fit well and was loose enough to loosen.
If it had been shattered to this extent, no matter how arrogant the World Tree or Flower was, it would not have come at the front again.

‘This is just the beginning.’

You can embrace what you want to embrace.
I can confidently say in front of others what I wanted to protect.

As I looked at my palm as the shell was regenerating, I was lost in thought for a moment.
A frivolous woman’s voice flowing through those thoughts.

【Why did you leave him behind? He said he was a nobleman. 】

Encyclopedia Princess Bank.
One of the noble trees and a strong pillar of the Allied Forces.
I defeated it easily this time, but next time I will be very careful.

One way would be to immediately kidnap her and eat her to prove why she is a noble person, but that wasn’t possible yet.

【 Why? 】
‘A bitch who is quick at calculating things will come in on her own.’

Banks is a woman who understands and uses her noble position very well.
The goal is to revive the family and save the country.

Although it had a conflicting purpose with the empire that had taken root in East Asia, annexation was not impossible if driven into a corner.

【 What about not killing the other kids? Is there a reason for that too? 】
‘Yes.’

Those who will be described later are people in the Allied Forces who are particularly willing to reform the current system.

Kim Soo Yeon. Saku. Elm. Jeong Si-woo.
In addition, there are many other heroes who fought before.

Although they were driven by good intentions or justice, and although their methods were different and their goals were different, they had the ego and the standing to stand against the World Tree’s wrong choices.

As for Jeong Si-woo, he is the hero of the reversal who unanimously welcomes even a church on the verge of internal strife.
They were the ones in charge of the self-cleaning process of wood society.

‘These are guys who can do what I can’t do.’
【Isn’t this an opponent you have to beat anyway? 】

A man who expresses dissatisfaction with a choice that is not befitting a king.
There was even a hint of disgust in that voice, but I knew it now.
We had a serious conversation for several days. The Son of Man was unable to control his emotions when it came to the decline in the king’s authority even when he was beaten to death.

King’s dysregulation.
Should I shorten it and call it the head of a dynasty?

If you explain the reason, they will calm down a bit.
I told Insa what I was thinking.

‘If you think about it another way, they are the reason why the World Tree can’t act like crazy.’

The most important thing when sucking the back of a good guy is to approach him by pretending to be equally nice.
It is obvious that if you reveal your true intentions, you will be manipulated, so you must be careful to manipulate them.

The problem for World Tree is that Jeong Si-woo and Kim Su-yeon’s egos are quite strong.
If you leave it alive, something will inevitably go wrong with the world tree.

‘And.’

To unite the dimensions derived from this world…
Eventually, you have to get to the source.

【 What are you talking about. 】
‘… ‘Did I tell you to read your memory carefully or not?’

The secrets of the world shared through conversation with the king of trees.
Of course, it remains as a memory, and I even told it to my life partner, Inja. It must have been annoying.

Should I at least slap that plump butt to remind me when work is done?

【 Uh… Uh? Why me!!! 】

If you do something wrong, you should get hit.
I chuckled as I checked my completely healed body.

– Rumble.

A part-time job coming in at the same time.
After a brief report, it was time to help the Golden Retriever and the Honey Cat.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Dieffenbachia’s first expedition.
When Engahero’s mercenaries reached the very front of the empire’s walls. The knights with their spears drawn opened the door and jumped out.

“All army!!!!!!!”

The flagpole at the front ran in a splendid curve, and the Dieffenbachia was running in the center of the army that followed.

The black horse’s bell was laid out after learning the terrain in advance.

Lee Si-heon said: They said it was the power of Gong-granddaughter, who was said to be a very beautiful woman.
Dieffenbachia, who had established his strategy and made full use of his strategy in a few days, led his army in a very excited voice.

– Tap, tap, tap.

Heavy cavalry in black armor gathered behind the stopped Dieffenbachia.
As the magic power exploded through my body, I felt like I was seeing an armored battalion.

The helmet opened, revealing a woman’s face that did not match her full length.

“Are you ready?”

─Yes!!!!!!!
─Yes!!!!!!!

Dieffenbachia smiled with a flower on his head.

“The enemy is over there!!”

Then, the march of thousands of soldiers and horses crossed the vast land.

– Coo coo coo coo coo coo!!!

The dust field is shaking.
A literal corps charging through terrain that even a tank would not be able to overcome.

The mercenaries fighting them skillfully opened fire and drew a magic circle inside the modern fortress.

-Jeeeee!

Cannons containing an enormous amount of magical power are exploding from all over the mountain area.
A railgun is a war weapon that embodies ridiculous cutting-edge science and magic.

It was a wall of thunder that was fired towards Dieffenbachia with excitement, drawing black flames on the ground.

-Sigh!

There are no weaklings in this corps.
Because all empires with weak legions were destroyed!

Dieffenbachia, holding his halberd high, took the lead and swung his spear at his magic cannon.

“Hwaap!!”

-Suddenly!!!

The thunderbolt exploded by the mercenary split with energy and was canceled out in an instant, and the magic power was concentrated at the end of the bars so that it could be ejected at any time.

“Go!!!”

Is it said that in the old days, people would say things like this as a shout?
Da-jeong’s brave shout struck the wall of brains that reflected back toward the fortress.

The magic fired by the mercenary did not cause any damage. His posture did not break down at all, and although he allowed himself to be hit, no one was seriously injured.

─The dark devil… Bell? She said it was a strange operation she had never heard of. However, it doesn’t seem impossible.

A word uttered by Commander Hong Yeon after hearing Dieffenbachia’s opinion.
Even if it was a somewhat ignorant strategy, if Hongyeon had allowed it, the odds of winning would be over 90%.

The frightened mercenaries take out their weapons and prepare for close combat.

This is a very typical battle structure in modern society, where each individual’s skills can level a city.
But the corps was different.

-Twelve on the left, three on the front. Eleven on the right.

The direction of the flag changes. Several signals came and went. As if they were used to it, the personnel were distributed and both wings were spread out.

Coo coo coo coo-

It is normal for a cohesive army to collapse at once due to countless magic and artifacts being unleashed.
It will always be a modern tool. The past was much more magical than this. The story was different when countless long-lived species still lived.

Since ancient times, the more entangled the roots are, the more firmly they are established.

Medieval woodmen, whose personal energy was twice as sensitive as those of modern times, tied each other’s magical powers together like ships on the sea to show off even more power.

【 Wisteria Jin 】

Just like the roots of a wisteria, they move forward, firmly protecting each other so that they cannot fall.
Medieval magic that cannot be realized in modern times.
King Mokryeong devoted all his attention to restoring it in the 19th century. Fear has once again struck the world.

-Rurrrr!

A legion that overturns the fortress and destroys the enemy in an instant.

Although it was far from perfect over a generation, it was able to wipe out the ragtag group of mercenaries who only repeated small-scale conflicts.

-Bang!

Buildings being demolished.
It seemed like victory was coming without any surprises. A gunshot followed, and Dieffenbachia’s body tilted.

-Cow!

The spear blade and the bullet collided, and the magical power that exploded together created a wave in the surroundings.
Dieffenbachia barely reacted and stared at the spot in his helmet where the bullet came from.

‘Also. ‘You’re here.’

Five puppets wearing hoods so their faces can’t be seen.
In the hands of one of the leading men, two rifles, unknown to Diefenbachia, were spouting fire.

Of course, this side has been prepared for a long time.
Part of the legion split up, and knights of different colors took off their helmets. Dieffenbachia also turned her gaze towards her.

The game is a three-game match.
1 win 1 loss.
The pale yellow hair of a golden retriever flutters across the battlefield. His bloody eyes flashed.

Cornus officinalis.

The magical energy that flashed from his entire body instantly flew all the way into the sky and formed a pillar.

“… Betrayer.”

Lee Si-heon’s enemy.

-Whoop!

As Sansuyu draws her sword, a bullet flies into her sword and splits it apart.

-Tukwaaaaang!

The moment the bullet was cut. The magical power split into a V shape centered around Cornus officinalis, exploding and creating dust around it. Cornus officinalis walked out of it unharmed.

Magical powers being sucked into Suyu’s body.
Cornus officinalis, which freely uses all the magical energy in the air, is the perfect match for beads.

Nevertheless, losing the previous game… It sounds like there is something suppressing it.

“This time, it doesn’t work.”

Gusul’s dry eyes peered into Cornus officinalis’s eyebrows.
