Chapter 775 – Rescue Operation

“… “Aren’t you tired?”

After changing the woman a few times, Banya, who was more tired, asked in shock.

“Why?”

I put down the woman’s calf I was holding and asked angrily.

-… Sigh.

-Ha, ha.

At the same time, all the eyes of researchers around me are focused on me.

Some had angry eyes. More than half of the eyes gave off a strange aura of love and hate.

Banya looked at the women and pretended to nauseate.

“It’s already seven.”

“But?”

“… Didn’t you understand? “If you include me, there are eight.”

“Therefore. “What is that?”

“No… “Not if it’s not hard.”

He stops answering and averts his eyes in case he becomes a target.

I turned my head again and asked Rin, who was captured first.

“Is this the end?”

“… Ah. Ah. Yes… !”

The light brown floating head moves up and down vigorously.

I was familiar with the situation where the cheeks were opened as if I didn’t know it would happen like this.

-Trudge. Truly.

Researchers approach women who are lying down and kick them in the private parts with their toes, causing them to bend their backs.

-I flinch… ! Flinch!

“I have to answer slowly, right?”

After treatment and threats, the girls came to their senses one by one and responded obediently.

Since Ebony was waiting, I interrogated him as quickly as possible.

Perhaps because she was a bitch in a fairly high position and had a horse jacket, she was obedient, so it was easy to tell whether the information was true or false, and she was able to cut down the grass of strong-willed women as well.

Simple structure and security of the fort.

And who is the highest-ranking person protecting this fortress?

“… Executive, yes… Yes there is. “I heard that the third, fourth and fifth leaves are guarding it.”

Cistus. Lotus Padme. Honeysuckle japonica.

The fortress has a total of four sections, so even if one side collapses, conditions are in place to continue research without problems.

“I see.”

“Yes… Yes.”

The structure becomes wider as you go to the underground level, but eventually becomes narrower.

Instead of a fortress, he built an underground city that looked like something you would see in a dungeon.

‘Well, there’s no way we couldn’t build a structure like this. ‘How much have I accumulated so far?’

And one more thing. I thought it was okay to overlook the fact that there were three executives here.

Did you think the same thing as me? Banya, who had been listening quietly next to him, snorted.

“It’s a lie just by looking at it.”

“Oh, no… No… It’s real!”

“Is it possible that three executives are concentrated in this fortress? I guess it was something the higher-ups did to reassure you. Have you ever seen an executive?”

“… “There is no such thing.”

Due to the nature of the researcher’s job, it was inevitable that Flower would have information that he was trying to hide. Yes, he is a civilian.

There is a possibility that what these guys take ‘for granted’ is a lie.

In particular, it was safe to say that information on defense, supplies, and charter was almost unconditional.

“Research is almost over?”

“It’s safe to say it’s over…” ” . It is going through the mass production and application process. And… Oh, ah! All of the test subjects downstairs are about to complete weaponization…”

“Ordnance? “Are you talking about bugs?”

“Bug… “What?”

A woman in fear asked me again if I didn’t know that.

Perhaps the results of the research are not made known.

“People who were previously modified.”

“… All of the test subjects wearing wooden prints in the past are unfinished. It’s incomplete. Because it cannot bloom.”

The researcher, who had a particularly good black vest, answered with his lips quivering.

“Do you think you know something?”

“… “I have been to other fortresses several times due to technology application issues.”

“Then what about the flowering problem?”

“That… That is… It’s almost solved. All talented individuals who can grow immediately have been staged, and those who have difficulty growing or are children are trained in the basement.”

Growth refers to growing seedlings so that they have sufficient performance capabilities.

It seemed that the factor germinated in the human body had to go through several stages of growth.

“Tell me where I can get samples of the drug.”

“Because all partial processes are carried out separately at different facilities…”

“You don’t know anything?”

“I know a place that might be there.”

We need to take this opportunity to dig into everything.

From the deformed magical powers that Flowerman wields to the miracles they have achieved.

As one axis of the world tree collapsed. It is true that one limb of this side is also weak.

I, too, have lost more than half of my forces due to Engahero’s betrayal. In fact, except for ATU, which is a minor force, everyone has suffered deep bleeding, so the importance of local warfare becomes more noticeable in times like these.

Everyone will know.

This is not chess or chess.

This is not the concept of a subordinate strangling the king’s neck through advanced strategy, but the idea that only the head can be killed.

If I were to use a trivial analogy, it would be correct.

Only the largest organ egg can kill the largest organ egg.

There is a reason why the strategy of putting the king into the opponent’s base from the first attempt works. If the king died, the war situation of that power was virtually broken.

Let’s try bouncing an egg of an average size. The only ones left out of the market are half-baked eggs that have received a backlash.

Now, individual-to-individual or small-scale disputes will become the main focus. This was what me, Flower, and the World Tree had hoped for.

‘What Tarragon is preparing for is his own awakening. The World Tree is the awakening of heroes. And it can only work if those two play their roles.’

If so.

We need to put as much pressure on them as possible until the time comes.

In order for me to win, I needed them to become stronger.

* * * * * * * * * * *

After cleaning the bodies of the naked researchers and finding them clothes, they joined Ebony.

If I had wanted to, I could have definitely gnawed away at the inside of the woman, but I didn’t do that because I wanted to end it as quickly as possible.

After securing data from nearby laboratories. Entering the underground.

-Quaaaaang!

The reinforced barricade covered with artifacts was immediately destroyed and a speed battle began.

─There are people who have invaded the fortress!

It concentrates its mind and swims through slowed time, vibrating its crown to create faint tree needles.

Let’s stretch our hands forward.

The sharp thorns growing from the forearms and backs of the hands pierced right between the eyes of the armed guards.

Even if those who reacted accidentally raised their shields or swords to block, they were helpless.

-Spook!

The thorns that poured out pierced the armor and skin, and writhed wildly as they penetrated the head.

-Spook! Puck! Puck!!

The skin bursts and the hallway quickly turns into a sea of ​​​​​​blood.

At the same time, he reached out to the door we entered through and used magic. A huge vine grew and blocked the wide entrance without any gaps.

The surroundings become quieter by preventing intrusion from noisy outsiders.

“…”

“…”

The researchers gasped in horror, and even Ebony frowned at the cruel sight.

Banya, the only one who is carefree, seems happy to have obtained the research material for free. He followed me and told me everything about my surroundings.

“There are a few more people across the hallway and in front of the door.”

I stood waiting in a hallway where nothing but corpses remained. A tree man who had been ‘liberated’ appeared through the door and cried out a peculiar groan in this direction.

-Hobble, bow.

Ent.

No, should I call it a wooden ear?

It looked similar to the wooden ghost I first met. Unlike this guy, they seemed to be conscious.

A large amount of magical power explodes as if expanding from inside the body surrounded by bark.

“… “King Mokyeong.”

“Check… Call for support.”

Two wood ghosts crossed the hallway and flocked to us with different movements.

“Ebony.”

“Yes!”

I gestured without moving, and Ebonyi, who was guarding next to me, quickly ran out and converted the winter blue into the form of a sword.

-Crash!!

Mistletoe passed from teacher to student twice.

“Huh… !”

White liquid fluttered around. A hatch is drawn in the air and becomes a sword blade.

Black magic instantly rose from the skin of Ebondan, who held the sword tightly in both hands.

-Scream!

Magi.

Faint spots appeared like leaves on my cheeks and wrists. Ebony’s movements became so fast that it was difficult to control them.

“For the flower-“

-Tap, thud! Pabababat!

An Ent screams, flips around, and attacks Ebony.

The blade wrapped around the determined ebony hand drew a stylish half-moon shape and slaughtered the Ent’s arm.

【 Concave Tree · Crow Type 1 】

【Moon Whispering】

The name was given because it resembles the color of a crow’s fur. Ebony tree. Concave tree.

Ebony, who moved like thunder and easily cut the neck and ears in half, without losing the firearms in his eyes her. I continued to the next posture like riding a wave.

“… !”

I couldn’t even write a note and my colleague suffered. After pausing for a moment, Mokgwi came to his senses and opened his mouth towards the ebony.

Various magic pours down on Ebondan, but the wooden ghost has already been within Ebondan’s range for a long time.

【 Concave Tree · Crow Type 2 】

【Raising】

The silk flowed like a wave and the body of Mokgwi was cut horizontally.

A clearly well-polished sword.

This is difficult to use unless you train alone and gain enlightenment several times.

At least when it comes to swordsmanship, he can be compared to his teacher or the martial artist. Or maybe it could be considered more than that.

Considering when I first picked up the sword, I must have trained much less time.

I am far superior to my childhood teacher who has been practicing for several years.

-Sreuk, whirly!

Ebony, who sheathed the sword and turned it back into a bracelet, looked back at me.

“Ha… Under… Yes, Master.”

Was he really nervous that I was watching him?

I smiled slightly and the ebony’s shoulders shrugged.

Are you thrilled that you have finally been recognized?

“It’s not over yet.” “Don’t let your guard down.”

“… Yes!”

You don’t have to think about the soldiers coming down from above, but the number of soldiers coming up from underground is quite high.

“The people who come up here are the ones who cornered children like you and experimented on them. Listen carefully.”

There are a lot of children who are experiments down here.

There are many people in the same situation as Ebony. We had no particular obligation to help them.

When asked what to do, Ebony tilts her eyebrows in an inverted shape.

“… “I want to help.”

I thought you would answer that way.

I immediately winked at Vanya. Vanya nodded his head and used a spell to hide his presence, then he hurried out of the hallway, taking several researchers with him.

As he passed by me, Banya whispered in my ear.

“… “Come when I call you.”

“Why?”

“It gets difficult when executives show up. Especially since I will try to protect the sample with my teeth. No matter how much I am, it’s hard to be completely fooled.”

You have to figure that out.

“… “

Just kidding. To say this, the information here is also somewhat important.

When I nodded, only then did Prajna, who had relaxed, disappeared.

Now we are on the rescue side.

Since the establishment of Flower, we have had to rescue children who have been kidnapped for an unknown number of years in the name of compassion.

* * * * * * * * * * *

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

The child flipped the desk and burst into laughter, wiping his forehead and holding his stomach for a long time.

“Dad. Huh? Hey… What a sick dad. Who said what? “I’m telling you there isn’t just one coming?”

“…”

The fifth leaf of the flower. Honeysuckle.

Lonicera japonica.

The little boy who laughed bitterly at him was Cistus, the third leaf.

Cistus Cistus.

The guy, with his white hair fluttering and his legs not even touching the ground, was digging his ears.

“… So. What are you going to do, Dad?”

“Make as much time as possible.”

“No. Ding. Late. This is a hero, and the place left empty is a king, right? What… It seems like no one is picking the lotus flower. If it’s that guy, it’s only a matter of time.”

There is no big problem if we withdraw from here. There are too many civilians underground.

Over a thousand test subjects are also members of the flower and must be protected and protected.

Cistus, who had been sitting quietly listening to the story, once again laughed at Japonica.

“What are you protecting? What are you protecting? Haha!! Fuck. Ah. Argh! Dad. Come to your senses. Huh?”

The hair of Cistus became scattered.

She scolded him, her eyes bulging with nervousness.

“They already say that we are the ones to kill, and that we are rotten people who hate them more than anyone else, so what are we protecting? Give them away. It is said that it is quick to eliminate warriors and even kings. Uh? Huh?!”

“Even if they are not test subjects, there are many civilians staying in the fortress. My daughter Your plan is too reckless. “No one will want to follow us anymore.”

“Then. Do you have a plan more solid than this? Let me know if you have any. Right away.”

A final measure made in case the fortress was in danger of being attacked.

Everyone inside the fortress is burned to death.

Cistus’ explosion is the only ‘power’ currently at its highest level, and it was able to destroy everything it touched.

The clones of Cistus have already tightly surrounded the fortress. She is in a state where she can send away all living things within the fortress just by making her judgment.

“… Ha.”

Cistus muttered in a voice filled with resentment.

“Tarragon. “If only that stupid bastard hadn’t gone to take over that tower with his playthings.”

“… “Cistus.”

“Dad.”

“…”

“I’m going to do it, so don’t stop me.”

“That’s not allowed. “Don’t cross the line.”

How long can I just watch?

How long should I hold on?

Blood flowed from the child’s eyes, which were covered with dark circles.

‘It’s the sacrifice of a few. Hundreds of thousands. Well, it’s nothing special. ‘It’s not even a speck of dust compared to the number of people killed by the World Tree.’

Explode.

The whole king, the research materials, and the samples.

It was a fortress built from the beginning with the assumption of self-destruction. For that purpose, several forts were built.

This plan could not be abandoned simply because there was a large influx of civilians due to the fall of China.

-Kwaak.

Cistus, who was in the body of an alter ego, used his power to give orders to another clone.

“Cistus? No way-“

It’s late.

The moment Cistus thought so and pulled the trigger-

-Jureuk.

“… ?”

A sudden sense of exhaustion overwhelmed Cistus’ consciousness, and an incredible amount of blood poured out of her nose.
