Chapter 782 – Clash

Flower, fifth leaf.

Honeysuckle. Lonicera japonica.

【Flower Language:: Father’s Love】

“I understand how you feel. We crossed the line. “Irreplaceable and precious children were driven to death.”

A large middle-aged man clasped his hands together and muttered painfully with a face full of regret.

“Jeong Si-woo, Kim Soo-yeon.”

Indongcho’s eyes turned black, and Si-woo and Su-yeon grabbed their swords at the same time.

Just before the battle, the pressure of the three men fought and crushed each other.

-Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The bipolar pressure of back and forth gradually shifted to one side. It soon swallowed the other side and crushed them both.

“…”

“…”

Strong.

The man in front of me was stronger than anyone I had ever faced, his body his his his told me.

“I want to give you a chance and talk… “You’re not planning on going back, right?”

“Do you still say things like that after seeing what you’ve done?”

The man frowned painfully at Jeong Si-woo’s words.

It was as if my great conscience had been shaken. The man, who had a broken expression for a moment, then erased his expression and grew.

“This is a recommendation. Hero. Because my daughter is sick… “What father in the world would leave his sick daughter alone?”

“… I don’t understand at all what you’re talking about. All the children here would have been in the same situation.”

Someone’s son or daughter.

The defective products that were trapped in this laboratory and suffered death or lost their senses were all precious children to their parents.

That was what Jeong Si-woo had doubts about.

A man who probably understands well what he did, why does he try to persuade others to understand his situation?

Not long after, Honeysuckle murmured.

It was a voice full of terrible self-loathing.

“… Okay. You are right. “I don’t know how much blood I saw.”

Why are you suddenly taking credit for your mistakes?

The wrinkled middle-aged face looked exactly like that of a member of society tired from office work.

Except for the fact that the eyes are dyed black and the muscles of the entire body are swollen and exuding dirty magic… His impression was nothing more or less than that of an ordinary father.

“But… No. He didn’t want to be hypocritical, yes. “I apologize.”

“… “What?”

“Heh, heh.”

A strong magical power exploded onto the man’s shoulder as he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled broadly.

Cold sweat flowed from Si-woo and Su-yeon’s foreheads due to the tension caused by them resolving their battle intentions.

“I don’t know how I got caught up in this cause. I’ve come a very long way. Actually… It doesn’t matter what happens.”

“… “What on earth do you want to say?”

“How do I appear in your eyes?”

A rotten flower executive.

The worst murderer who killed a child with his own hands.

Yes, that’s natural.

Honeysuckle himself was keenly aware of that.

I’m not trying to make nonsense about regretting my sins.

His words His His His, which could not be seen between the lines, were a mockery muttered as he looked back on having been forced to carry out a task that went against the character he had cultivated during his lifetime his.

Nobility. Pastor of the church.

A father who lived by helping others rather than taking their lives.

However, having focused on external good deeds, he was unable to understand the sorrow of his daughter who was pitifully dying inside her.

“I only dreamed of one thing.”

Cistus is full of anger towards the World Tree..

Just because of the guilt of not being able to protect my daughter, I was matching the bizarre behavior of my daughter who survived.

He has one wish.

Once again. Wanting to have family moments.

I know it’s an impossible dream. She also knew that her daughter no longer loved her. Although she also realized that she was just being used.

“… I can’t let my child die. No matter what crime I committed.”

Nevertheless, his father’s heart his his his… He was just looking towards his child his.

“If you don’t turn around.”

Blood appeared on the man’s skin. Then, both of his forearms were instantly covered with tree armor.

The power to manipulate the deformation of the human body and the factors of trees.

It is similar to Lee Si-heon, but a little different.

The power of the tree emanating from the crown exuded an independent power that was distinct from any other power.

This is the opposite.

It felt like I was using the power of existing trees by imprinting it into my own genes.

【Liberation】

The arms separate above the shoulders and turn into two pairs of arms.

Then three pairs. Separate again into four pairs.

【Hiiragi (ヒイラギ) · Googol (枸骨)】

Googol tree. The meaning of flowers is protection.

Following. Vines sprouted from the floor, and the surrounding area sank like a cave, spreading a roar.

-Wooow!

【Liberation】

The blue flowers of wisteria fill every corner of the cave.

There were many cases where the ‘liberation’ of trees sometimes changed the environment.

【Chamlantern/Wisteria】

Expression of the second factor.

The human body achieves lignification of both trees at the same time.

An absurd power that has never been discussed in academia or even thought to be possible.

However, modifying his own body was only a part of his power.

“… “Forgive this old sinner.”

The power of national trees, already forgotten by the world-

【Liberation】

“Plum blossom (梅花).”

“!”

【Snow Jungmae】

-Deuddeudeuddeuk!!

A symbol of adaptation. A tree that was once thought to be the strongest.

It was not surprising that his genes, with the cooperation of Flower, ended up in the hands of honeysuckle.

-Self.

Plum blossoms bloomed, wisteria flowers bloomed, and the bark of trees, similar to the strength of hard bones, covered his body.

The main body’s flowering has not yet been used.

However, his magic power had become so enlarged that I had no idea whether I could even deal with it with my current power.

It was a short time of two years, but maybe…

I think Flower’s executives may have already crossed the line.

“… Jeong Si-woo.”

“Yes.”

Soo-yeon gritted her teeth, clutching her heart that felt like it was going to explode.

“Let’s win.”

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

This operation was not much different from the previous one.

Crawl inside the fortress and find out what’s inside. Let’s take care of what needs to be taken care of, but let’s defeat what needs to be defeated.

What is different from before? There is no prajna and the method is somewhat rough.

-Quaaang!!

With the sound of an explosion, the entire entrance to the fortress caves in.

The working artifact was destroyed by ignorant power, and magic poured towards me and Ebony almost at the same time,

A high-density magic cannon that can cut through hard magic alloy in an instant.

It is powerful enough to kill a decent level hunter, but the opponent is the opponent.

When I created a barrier by replacing the surrounding magical energy with my own through the crown, a blindingly large light covered the entire surroundings.

“… “Master?”

“Stay still. “If you get hit for no reason, it hurts quite a bit.”

A trap of this magnitude would put the country in trouble.

In other words, even a high-level hunter can lose a limb.

If you regenerate, you will come back to life quickly, but not all hunters in the world have the power of healing.

-Boom!

As soon as the artifact’s interception was over, I stepped into the fortress.

It was radical, but the story was different from last time. This is because we had little to gain from this attack, and in fact, Flower’s and my goals were aligned toward killing each other.

It took a full day to arrive, so no matter how late the response was, everyone who was supposed to evacuate must have escaped.

-Sssss.

Dust scattered from the outer wall of the collapsed building obscures the passage.

There was no sign of popularity, and there was no trace of anyone having visited.

‘As expected.’

Did he escape already?

I would have to check to see if the test subject had escaped as well, but I could intuitively know that this fortress had been set up as a stage for combat.

There is an executive.

Beings with such great power that even I could be manipulated at the slightest thought were staying here, aiming for my head.

“Ebony.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t be too surprised if the space changes or you suddenly break up with me.”

Until now, Ebonyi has been intentionally excluded from the engagement. Not anymore.

“What I have learned so far. “Please keep in mind that I have advised you and pointed it out to you.”

“… Yes.”

“You are strong. It would be strange if my student wasn’t strong. “Yes, isn’t it?”

“I am strong. “Because I am Master’s disciple.”

“Ebony.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s take a look back. “What did you come here for?”

Ebony stroked the mistletoe I gave her, turned the bracelet-shaped thing into a sword and held it tightly.

“… Seeing Yeonhwa. By talking and persuading. I will bring it.”

“Does that mean your wish will be granted?”

“Yes.”

I know you have someone called Oppa, but to what extent do you feel like you have let go? Right now, Ebony seemed to value her friendship with the friend in front of her more than the older brother she couldn’t remember.

Jeong Si-woo, whom I know, is in a similar situation. The texture is slightly different.

“Okay. Ebony.”

No hugging, no petting.

Looking at the ebony face of determination, I just smiled.

“Let’s go.”

“…”

It feels like you are dealing with someone who can do their part.

Let’s make a trusting eye contact. Ebony’s face brightened subtly, as if something was boiling over him again.

The ebony smiled slightly cutely and clenched both fists.

“Yes. Master!”

Immediately after, the vision blurs.

It wasn’t strange considering the power of the lotus to control territory.

Ebony’s face became blurred for a moment, but he straightened up and said not to worry.

Little by little, the vision becomes more concrete. A world dyed white. In a wide space that looked like it was covered in snow, there were lots of blue flowers blooming around it.

Hianhwa.

The name of the flower of the man I killed.

“… Phew.”

I took a deep breath and turned my head back.

The scent of lotus leaf tea passes by the tip of your nose.

When I frowned at the fragrant yet fragrant smell, I saw a beautiful woman sitting elegantly, raising her teacup in an ironic way.

“Welcome. Long time no see. How have you been?”

* * * * * * * * * *

I didn’t know what to do with my body because it welcomed me brighter than I expected.

I gathered my spirits, maintained my guard, and approached the flower field one step at a time.

Surprisingly, the distance between me and Padme did not narrow.

“Now is the time to drink tea. “Would you please wait a moment?”

“… “What do you know what to do?”

“Ah. Sorry. “I didn’t say that to you.”

When I answered the question, Padmé widened her eyes and shook her head.

If not me, are you talking about the guy who is currently hiding?

He was spreading his life so openly that it was impossible not to notice.

Maybe the name is…

“Was it an anemone?”

“If I call that name now, I won’t have time to rest.”

“It’s okay.”

A guy who is so vicious and vicious will not rush at you without end.

She is an assassin who knows how to calmly control her anger.

“If there had been an opening, she would have been attacked right away.”

“… I am confident.”

I’m the one who should say that.

Things are really going strangely.

Padme put down her teacup and twisted her light pink hair.

Making a somewhat exaggerated yawning motion. Is it to shake off the tension, or is it because I try to look relaxed?

This space was wide enough for a rampage, and I slowly revealed the crown above my head.

“… “I didn’t want to fight with you anymore.”

“Who struck the kingdom where the civil war broke out?”

“Not me. “It was almost arbitrarily carried out by Mr. Numu, who was watching us, and the massacre without an answer.”

“Are you denying that you are in a shithole?”

“What a poop. What kind of nonsense can you make to such a pretty person? “I was once flirted with by the Emperor and the Pope?”

It’s a trivial story.

Our ebony is a hundred times prettier than a lotus flower, cute, lovely, reliable, true, petite, soft, plump, smells great, and makes you want to hug it.

“… Low quality.”

“?”

Well, the important thing is not the appearance.

Let’s take a step forward, and the distance narrows in an instant.

-Whoop!!

In an instant, he stood right in front of Padme and looked at his face right before her eyes.

“Really. “Do it?”

“Then?”

“Can I kill you?”

“There’s no way I can’t do it.”

Padme’s power.

The reason why Yeonhwa overcame fatal injuries and survived time and time again was very simple.

An intangible thread whose color is not revealed.

The life of the lotus flower was completely connected.

“… “I think you know me well.”

“Does it look like that?”

“You have confidence in your words.”

It is difficult to nullify the power using ‘thorns’.

When it comes to conflicting powers, the one with more experience and rank takes precedence. It was difficult to cut out the secret of a guy who had endured for over a hundred years.

‘I think it might be possible if we drag it out into a long-term war and calmly undermine its authority with thorns. ‘What?’

It’s taking too long. There’s no need to try.

The method of cutting the lotus flower’s lifeline was simple.

Ending the lives of both sides at the same time.

Yes.

It was like saying that in order for me to survive here, the ebony had to severe ties with itself.
