Chapter 748 – Redwood Tree (5)

Liberation.

A tree man temporarily making his status equal to that of a world tree.

However, for wood people living in compost bins, ‘lignification’ was one of the things they could not even dream of.

Does it make sense for a girl who doesn’t know the species of trees or the language of flowers to regain her true self?

There were exceptions. A bead is a special object among abandoned nameless trees.

In other words, if you were born as a being equal to the world tree, the story would be different.

【Unknown】

One of the three disasters. Liberation of beads.

Its form is a tangle of tree branches without flowers or leaves. It was the shape of a wolf, the size of which was comparable to that of some heavy equipment.

A tank of destruction that wreaks havoc wherever it passes by weaving countless branches that are stronger than magic alloy.

This was the reason she was called Wood Wolf, and she was the forged sword that allowed the Eighth Leaf, led by Engahero and Hong Yeon, to survive.

One question here.

Does Mokgang’s power come from the dogwood tree? Or is it a power that Gusul himself developed?

The power of obscurity is the power of a bead forming and seeing the light.

If the beads were not parasitic on the body of the dogwood tree, it would have been attributed to the power of the beads.

If it’s the other way around… You can see it with your own eyes now.

In any case, it was a mystery that would be solved if one saw the true form of the dogwood tree.

“I still don’t understand. “I don’t know why she’s showing off all that cuteness.”

The world of imagery.

A bead sitting on an unidentified chin looked at the dog, tapping its feet.

The dog bruised for a while, but as soon as it saw the bead, it was so startled that it started grinding its teeth.

Grrrr.

“… Are you going to bite me?”

“Grrr… What is? Why did it stick out? “Are you going to start a fight?”

“What, are we going to fight? Honestly, I’m not confident I’ll lose.”

“Parasite, don’t open your mouth.”

I am the one who gave up my body, but you are a parasite.

Gusul felt like there was a hole in his chest.

“Hey, thank you for your common sense. To the point where it’s not enough… “Isn’t it too much to turn people into parasites?”

“I have no intention of respecting a fool who does not know his own mind.”

“Why do I not know my own heart?”

“… You don’t know, do you? “I like Siheon, but I can’t even say I like him!”

“What, what, what bullshit. “Do you want to die?”

“You are the one who dies.”

Oh really. Check this…

-Kwaang!

Gooseul jumped up from his seat and struck the top of the dog’s head with his fist.

The eyes of the dog that got hit on the head his suddenly changed. Whip-

She spreads both hands and attacks her marbles to start pounding.

The dog sitting on Gusul’s chest throws a barrage of merciless fists. Gusul, who started getting beaten, became increasingly upset and angry.

“… Ugh! This… !”

“You were the one who hit me first. You did it wrong… “Don’t poke your eyes!”

-Clap!

Gusul grabbed the dog by the waist and rolled over.

This time, Gusul took the upper hand and swung his fist.

“Let’s see, this bitch… !”

“I like Siheon more!”

“Oh, I got it!!!! I’m not stopping him from doing what he likes!? “If I didn’t like it, I would have started swearing at you when you did something pretty, you bitch!”

“Now, ugh… ! It came out like this. “Isn’t this an attempt to steal my body again?”

“No. I didn’t even know how to do that in the first place… “Aaaaak!”

The dog is on top again.

“Liar. Does this naughty bitch dare to try to change Siheon’s mind? I can never leave it like that!!”

The broken bead screamed.

“It’s not true!!”

“You’re right! How could you not know that I am you? “I know you’re sad inside!!”

[The dog’s scratching.]

[I got hit 3 times.]

[The effect was amazing!]

“Then you’re not sad? I lived with him for several years. But that’s not the feeling you think. “Listen to me, you robot bitch!”

“Laugh…”

[A slap in the face to wake up Gusul!]

[The effect was amazing!]

The dog pushes the marble. The marble and the dog fell on opposite sides.

The two got up, looked at each other, and snorted.

“You can fool yourself, but you can’t fool me. We can’t share a body like this.”

“I think you are the one lying. “You had no intention of sharing your body with me.”

“… I was thinking that we could use a little bit of it together.”

“If you open your mouth, will you spit?”

Because I know memories, I also know emotions.

However, the dog is still unable to distinguish subtle differences in emotions.

It wasn’t long before she felt her crush her, and even Guseul’s fledgling feelings she were recognized as her love her.

“… “I get wet just by looking at Siheon.”

“…”

No…

What you didn’t recognize could be a bead.

Gooseul got up from her knees and avoided eye contact, rubbing his red cheeks.

“Anyway, let’s go outside first.”

“I know.”

“You just need to know. Anyway, the choice is yours now, and I have no means of getting my body back right now?”

“… “I don’t know that.”

“Fuck you, I don’t know. “Don’t give a damn.”

“Guseul, you have more goals. “Aren’t you the one who gave up the power of life and death when you could have the body to yourself?”

Now even consideration is treated as a foolish behavior.

Well, from Gusul’s point of view, it was right to act harshly.

But wasn’t that what the dog did too? In fact, the dog once gave himself over to Gusul.

“… It was for Siheon. Because Siheon likes you.”

“Let’s stop taking return tickets. “How many times has this been said?”

I don’t know why my dog ​​​​​​suddenly fell into a world of images.

But let me say something to remind you that I am already here. After thinking that, Gusul stood up, shook his shoulders, and exhaled.

“Whoa, hey.”

“… “What is it?”

“Listen carefully. Because it was your body from the beginning, I don’t care if I die or not. “There is something I want you to hear when you go out.”

“I know all your memories. “What do you want?”

“First…”

If there is only one consciousness left in this body.

The dog had to be able to perform all the tasks that the bead was supposed to do.

A dog that has memories but no experience.

“You have to learn things like know-how by sticking your nose in the wood. “Wouldn’t you like Siheon holding on to your ankles?”

“You can do enough. “I am better than you.”

“Ah… Friend. “I guess the old man made me because the only things Siheon had to do were things you couldn’t do?”

“…”

The dog that hit the nail on the head closed its mouth.

The dog that was born and raised in a compost bin had many flaws in its personality and communication.

You could tell just by looking at her that she was affectionate and cuddling with King Mokryeong like a child.

“Well, let’s say you can learn if you learn. But, how long are you going to fawn over me?”

“… What do you mean?”

“We are his secretaries. Even if he looks like that, if he gets one thing wrong, his mentality will quickly break. “We should be the ones who embrace, right?”

It appears in the memory of the beads.

It is always her role to assist and comfort Lee Si-heon.

“On the outside, he seems fine, a guy who lives happily around women, but on the inside, he’s festering like crazy.”

“So what do you mean?”

“You are so selfish. Whatever you do, it clings to you and clings to you. Uh? My eyes are so cold I’m dying.”

“…”

Living for me. Good.

This is a dog who has not been able to enjoy a proper life due to his parasitic consciousness.

But don’t cause trouble.

The dog clenched her fist and nodded, as if she was feeling something.

“Do you understand?”

“… I did. “I will help Siheon by her side.”

“That’s right. Exorcism. Now go out. Siheon will wait.”

“But the beads. Do you have no desire? If I were a bead… “He would have pushed me out and supported Siheon until the end.”

The beads widened her eyes, and she chuckled.

“I’m not that type of person.”

Is it because I live taking care of children?

It has become a habit to give in to mentally immature children.

The dog stared at her beads and stuck out her tongue.

“I do not know. You are strange. “I will never give in.”

“Okay, okay.”

Gusul’s specialty is dealing with stubborn guys.

Her dog her, who lost her argument, puffed out her cheeks and spewed out her harsh words at her.

“… I don’t like it.”

This is what I hope for if you give up voluntarily.

The dog got up and kicked the ground hard to get out of the world of images.

Leaving behind a slightly uncomfortable feeling.

* * * * * * * * *

The beautifully grown magic stone extends from the right wing and forms large wings.

【 Dogwood 】

A look that matches her own type of dropsy…

It was completely different from the Mokrang I knew.

The girl with one wing on her side, her stem ears and tail dangling. Her eyes were carefully closed.

‘It’s similar to Saku, but a little different.’

I had seen the ‘liberation’ of transforming into a beast-man form once with Saku, who had become a spirit.

If Yoshino Saku had a more fluffy and soft fox or cat feel.

This guy is a wolf.

The sight of the body tied with a stem like techwear was like watching a hyana persistently clinging to the back of the neck to bite it.

“… Siheon?”

The powerful force felt from the large force makes me want to test my skills.

【Go quickly! I’m sick. 】

I was distracted for a moment, but the son-in-law started to fuss.

‘Okay.’

It wasn’t difficult to reach the ceiling.

I signaled to the dog. The dog spreads its only wings and prepared to fly.

Slightly more magic attribute than Alba and Wiki’s calculations.

After I caught my breath, I hugged the dog next to me.

“Are you going outside?”

“Uh. Are you scared?”

“… “No-“

The dog tried to speak in a slightly frightened voice.

“No, I will protect Siheon.”

I don’t know what he was thinking, but he made up his mind and grabbed my arm tightly.

It’s not that you’re not scared, it’s that you protect me.

It’s cute so I pat its head.

A large hand was buried in the hair his, and the dog’s ears, which stood out like tree branches, twitched.

“Go.”

“… Yes.”

Bend over and close your body.

Squeeze out the minimum amount of magical power and rush forward.

As my field of vision widened, the bodies of my dog ​​​​​​and I shot out through the air toward the ceiling.

-Whoa!

I crossed the wooden people climbing the wall in one go.

The ceiling they had dreamed of for so long. Toward the exit.

The closer I got, the stronger the magical power became, making it difficult to breathe.

-Kkook.

The dog holds my hand tightly and hugs my arm to prevent it from falling.

In an instant, the burden began to pile up on our bodies as we entered the ceiling’s sphere of influence.

‘… Of course.’

The vision becomes distorted, as if space is distorted.

All the air was sucked out, making it impossible to breathe, and the force of gravity from the condensed mana tried to crush the body.

Will it be as calculated?

A groan escaped me from the pressure that felt like my limbs were being torn apart.

We haven’t even come close to the torrent of mana that has been compressed again and again.

The outer surface of the body sucked into the black hole was divided into particles and scattered like powder.

If it were a human body… Wouldn’t my life have been different the moment I entered the wormhole?

But the good news was that my body was gradually adapting to the purity of mana.

Although it may be impossible. If I can survive for a few days, wouldn’t my body be able to resist any magic?

-Suddenly.

My eardrums are exploding.

My senses became paralyzed, and I couldn’t even tell if I was holding hands with my dog.

It takes only 5 seconds to be dragged into a wormhole by gravity.

Of course, in this place where the concept of time is transcended, it could feel like it took more than a few minutes.

‘…’

Movement is infinitely slow.

I feel like my body will break down right now… Is the dog okay?

I looked down, aiming at the body that was starting to split apart.

‘…’

My hands are weak.

The dog’s body, which was tightly held in my arms, was limp and looked like it might fall at any moment.

The pupils of the eyes looking straight at me are cloudy.

Faintly conscious. The body that was crushed by the huge magic field had some parts broken into pieces as if it had been crushed by a machine.

‘… ‘Wait.’

There must have been enough magic power throughout liberation.

While I thought about that for a moment, a variable crossed my mind.

Did Wiki and Alba’s calculations include dogwood’s physical condition?

The body of the wood person who stays in the compost bin is different from before.

Because they live in a space where mana is dense, their energy supply is large and their magic circulates very quickly.

Aside from the advantage of being able to operate a lot of magic attribute. As circulation is easy, it has the disadvantage of being greatly affected by external magical power.

This is a characteristic similar to that of spirits, which are magical creatures.

‘…’

Make quick decisions.

Before his body completely collapses, I used my hand to pull him in. I hugged him in my arms.

I may have to take some risks, but I can’t abandon the two of them after coming this far.

We must save.

-Finch.

The dog’s blurry pupils wavered and turned towards me.

It was a situation where we couldn’t talk, but I could clearly read your heart.

I squeeze out my magic power and shift the burden towards myself.

My body started to collapse in an instant, but there was a possibility.

-Shooooo!
