Chapter 1570 – 52. Hope Is Undiminished.

“Uh..Why is Selena… “Here?”

I couldn’t understand at all.

She was clearly trying to find a clue to restore the drying world tree.

Didn’t she leave for the southern forests?

How could she appear here?

“…How did it happen?”

Selena continued calmly.

“Don’t think about getting away with it! What do you do if you suddenly disappear leaving behind only a letter? Do you know how worried we all were!?”

Eleya raised her voice with her face very red.

She suddenly disappeared, leaving only a message saying she was leaving for the southern forest.

She had been missing for six months, with it unclear whether she was dead or alive.

But then she suddenly appeared and said that she is doing it now!?

“Please explain properly!” What on earth happened? Where on earth, what have you been doing, and what have you been doing!?”

She couldn’t understand it.

A more proper explanation is needed.

“I’ll explain later, later. It would take too long to tell you the whole process of getting here.”

So many things happened.

A journey to leave the beloved forest and cross the continent to the great forest

A direct encounter with the White King, one of the seven rulers who reigned over the continent and the king of the Southern Great Forest

She was kidnapped by a human trafficker and put on sale at a black market auction

It would take an entire day to explain everything that has happened.

“It’s not a leisurely situation right now, is it?”

Selena opened her mouth in a calm tone.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Eleya widened her eyes as if she realized.

She was so caught up in the shock that she completely forgot.

How urgent the situation is now

How critical is the situation?

“Now is not the time! A dragon has appeared! A dragon so large that not even Lasillus can handle it is ruthlessly destroying our home! We must run to the center immediately and call for rescue! Stay like this! The entire village will be wiped out!”

Eleyah continued speaking urgently.

Central help was needed.

The opponent is the guardian dragon that has protected Northwood for a thousand years, the monster among monsters that even instantly retired Lasillus.

It is absolutely impossible to handle without the help of the central government, which is called Northwood’s greatest force.

“It’s useless.”

She shook her head.

“Yes!?”

“The distance from the outskirts to the center is 1 hour no matter how fast you run, and even if you assume you summon the troops right away, the round trip will take a good 2 hours.”

Selena began to speak in a calm tone.

“You won’t be able to hold out, if the intruder is a monster that not even Rasilus can handle.”

“…Selena, you can shorten the time even more! So…”

“The time I can shorten is only about 30 minutes, which is not a very meaningful time.”

It didn’t mean much.

The destruction won’t take long

“I have to try something!”

“Because I don’t want to do something meaningless.”

“So, are we going to just sit back and watch like this!? Are we going to have to watch in vain as our home is being mercilessly destroyed… And our compatriots are being mercilessly killed!?… I’m disappointed! Selena! How could you? .How..Can that happen..”

Eleyah cried with tears in her eyes

You have to do something.

I have to struggle somehow

I couldn’t just sit back and watch like this.

“I’m not saying let’s just sit back and watch. I’m just saying let’s take the best move we can come up with.”

“I don’t understand! What’s better than central help!?”

Eleyah raised her voice as if she did not understand.

“You’re a fool, Eleia.”

“Wa…Are you an idiot!?”

Eleyah became angry and raised her voice.

Are you stupid!?

Suddenly, what does that mean?

“If you’ve already heard the answer, you don’t realize it, right? If that’s not stupid, then what else?”

“I already heard the answer…No way!?”

At that moment, Eleya asked back with her eyes wide open.

That was because her incomprehensible words passed quickly through her mind.

“That’s true.”

Selena shook her head.

“In the current situation, there is only one way to save our compatriots who are in danger of destruction…”

She turned her gaze to the side.

Seonwoo, a knight in black armor with pure white hair, was sitting there.

“I have no choice but to bet everything on the one and only hope.”

It can’t be done without him.

I couldn’t do anything without him.

That was all.

What can save the elves from this hopeless situation

“Nonsense! The opponent is one of the monsters that made even Lasillus retire in an instant! There’s no way that man could handle something like that alone!”

Eleyah immediately denied it.

She realized the power of the monster before her eyes.

It was not something that could be handled by mere human strength.

Even if the entire nation’s power were to attack him, he was a superpower outside of the standards, with no guarantee of victory or defeat.

“They say they can’t handle it, what do you think?”

Selena asked, staring at him with her straight eyes.

“That’s a funny question, you know that right?”

Seonwoo smiled and asked back.

It was a question with an obvious answer.

It’s just funny

“I want to hear it directly from the mouth of the only hope and savior.”

“I win.”

The answer came out without any hesitation

“I heard that’s true?”

In response, Selena looked at Eleya again and asked.

“Both of you… Have never faced that red dragon in person… That’s right… It’s such a ridiculous monster!”

Eleyah still maintained a negative stance.

“Don’t worry, it’s the same here too.”

“Yes!?”

“It means our hope is also a ridiculous monster.”

Selena’s eyes twinkled without even a hint of wavering.

Those eyes were full of blind faith.

“It’s too much, it’s a monster.”

At that time, Sunwoo smiled and opened his mouth.

There was nothing she couldn’t say.

To see a normal person as a monster

“But is it true? I’ve never seen a monster stronger than you in my life.”

“I don’t know if it’s a compliment or an insult.”

“In times like that, it’s good to think in a positive way.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Seonwoo continued speaking in a calm tone..

“Rather than that, I want to go now, right?”

“Are you helping me?”

“It’s shameless. They put a lot of pressure on you, saying you’re the only hope and savior.”

Sunwoo opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded.

Hehe, that’s true too.”

Selena smiled brightly,

She didn’t say anything with any particular calculation, but

As she listened, it seemed like a burden to her.

“Then I will formally ask you to do so.”

Nodding

Selena bowed her head to Sunwoo without delay.

“Please, Northwood…Save our compatriots.”

And she earnestly asked.

Here in Northwood

Please save my beloved compatriots

“Sel…Selena?!”

“You’re lowering your head!?”

“Uh..How!?”

The elves who faced the scene were shocked.

Who is Selena

Among the elves, a mysterious race, they are praised as the most noble.

Isn’t he a High Elf, the origin of the race, the Great Mother, and one of the leaders of the Elves who are trusted by the World Tree?

She, the representative of her race, bows her head before humans!?

How can you not be shocked?

“Okay, I’ll save you specially.”

She had no reason to refuse in the first place.

She didn’t mind neglecting the deaths of innocent people, and it was also a good opportunity to impose a debt on the elves.

‘The leader of the race, the High Elf, is even bending his lofty pride… This side needs to stand up in its own way as well.’

That’s the right thing to do

“Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sunwoo.”

“In return, I will repay this debt in full, so I know that.”

“Yes, yes, I will definitely repay this debt, even if it means giving up my whole life!”

Selena kept shaking her head.

“Well, you don’t have to go that far..”

It was an excessive amount of repayment of grace.

“No, it’s a debt to our compatriots with their lives, and we have to pay it back throughout our lives!”

Suddenly

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hands and grabbed both of Sunwoo’s cheeks.

Side

Then he forced his head down and kissed his forehead her her her her.

“Uh..Huh?!”

Sunwoo looked embarrassed at that sudden action.

What does this mean?

Hwahiah ah ah

A fresh energy blowing from the forest began to envelop my whole body.

Tiring

[The high elf’s protection envelops the entire body.]

[You will receive the blessings of nature.]

[You will no longer be trapped in the eternal barrier.]

[Your affinity for spirits soars.]

“…This?”

Seonwoo, surprised by the sudden change, asked back.

“This is paid in advance, now you won’t be lost.”

Selena had a lovely smile.

“I just gave you what I needed. It’s perfect for me to go on a rampage.”

I was able to escape the eternal barrier that was my only restriction.

Now, an environment has been created where one can run wild.

“Rampage as much as you want, and as the leader of the elves, I will allow it.”

In addition, the high elf’s permission was lost.

“Follow what he says.”

Sigh

Seonwoo had a deep smile on his lips.

Kwaaaaang

And then he stamped his foot her.

Papapot

In an instant, he disappeared without even a trace.

As if it never existed from the beginning

“..How!?”

“It disappeared!?”

“Where on earth!?”

At that shocking sight, Eleya and other elves could not help but raise their eyes again.

What kind of harmony is this?

“I went to the village for salvation.”

Selena opened her mouth in a calm tone.

“It’s dangerous!…It’s dangerous! We must work together! We must go help right now! That dragon is of a different class! It could be Vegas of Anger, who turned the continent into a sea of ​​fire, or Bahamut, the apostle of destruction! He could die! “

Eleyah urgently raised her voice.

They might have been the seven rulers who reigned over the continent.

We must help.

We cannot let our benefactor die like this.

“Don’t worry, I won’t lose.”

“How can you be so sure!? How on earth..”

I couldn’t understand at all.

How can we be so sure?

“Hope never fails.”

That’s why I was confident.

His complete victory

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

Kwaaaaa

A huge fire engulfed the world.

The greenery burned and turned into ashes

The small village with centuries of history had completely collapsed, leaving no trace.

Everything was destroyed in an instant.

“…Haa…Haa…Haa…Haa.”

And in the ashes, only one woman stood, breathing heavily.

The leader of the ranger unit, Lunael

Only she was left.

‘…Has everyone collapsed?’

He took a deep breath and looked around him.

No one was standing still.

All she has left is herself

‘..Out of standard..’

I couldn’t think of another word to express it other than just saying it was out of standard.

It was a stronger and more difficult enemy than any other being I had ever faced.

‘But I can’t give up.’

I knew from the beginning that it was a battle I couldn’t win.

I knew from the beginning that it was something that could not be done.

But despite this, everyone was able to face it bravely

It was because of the passionate mission I had in my heart.

Our mission is not to hand over our beloved hometown to that ugly being.

‘…I will do my best until the very end.’

-Listen…Lunael…

At that time, a familiar voice penetrated Lunael’s head.

‘Lassilus?! Are you alive!?’

-…Not yet…But…You won’t be able to hold out for that long…With one breath…Most of your organs…Are burned.

‘That can’t be…’

-So listen carefully…There’s no time…Just once…I’ll give you just one chance…To launch the best attack that only you can…

‘The best attack I can make?’

-…The highest water spirit, Elaim… We have to summon him… That’s the only way to kill that red dragon!

‘Currently, Elaim … Is under a provisional contract with me … And he may not respond to my call …’

-But you still have to do it…If it’s not Elaim…You have no chance of winning…

‘But..’

-If you really want it, you will definitely reach it… I believe… In you… And… Elaim..

‘Lasilus..’

-Please don’t let my death be in vain…

‘I’ll try…I’ll try my best.’

-…Thank you…My friend.

Flutter flutter flutter flutter

As soon as he finished speaking, Rasilus spread his fallen wings and began to soar into the sky.

– Come to me! You terrible monster!!!

And then he started rushing towards the red dragon with all his might.

Buuuuung

The red dragon lightly swung his front paw towards Rasillus.

As if swatting away an annoying fly

-Blink

And that comparative response created an opportunity.

Rasilus took over the Red Dragon’s back through Blink.

Crack wow wow wow

Lasillus just hugged the red dragon.

I wrapped several layers around his long neck and bit the back of his neck as hard as I could.

I held him still, with both arms between his armpits.

It wraps its heavy body with its tail.

So that it can’t move completely

Kwaaang Kwaaang Kwaaang Kwaaang

The red dragon swung its heavy tail with all its might.

It seems like he’s trying to shake it off somehow

-Luniel!! It’s now!! Hurry up Elaime!!

And I shouted with all my might

Toward Runiel in the distance

-Quaaaaa!!

The skin bursts and the bones break

The pain soared as if my soul was going to go out.

But I didn’t let go.

It just gets tighter and tighter

-Come on! I can’t last long! Come on!! Don’t worry about me!! Come on!!

He urged her.

I can’t last long.

Weight class difference

Difference in power

It was at such a remarkable level

“Help me, Elaim!!”

Runael shouted earnestly.

Please, just this once

I hope this capricious spirit appears

Sooooo much

At that moment, something strange happened.

A large whirlpool of water swirled around her and began to form the shape of a woman.

Supreme Water Spirit

Elaim.

The earnestness of Runael and Rasilus finally came to fruition.

“Destroy that terrible dragon!!”

Sooooo much

As soon as Elaim fell under that order, his form changed.

Bigger

Longer and longer

Sharper

That’s right.

It was a window.

The shining spear of death that can pierce even dragons

“Go!”

The spear of death soared.

Towards the heart of that red dragon

Lovely love

‘It’s over!’

‘I won!’

Both Lunael and Rasilus had no doubts about victory.

Paaaaang

That is, until the spear of death that I had created with all my might was thrown out.

“…Ah…Ah…Ah…”

Whisk

Lunael collapsed in place at that incredible sight.

The spear containing all of Elaim’s power was thrown away helplessly.

Without even being able to pierce the scales or even make a scratch

In the end, it couldn’t be reached.

Even the best move you can do

Kkukdeukdukkkkuk

At that time, a creepy sound penetrated my ears.

-Shua Ahhhhh!

At the same time, a terrible scream rang out.

The red dragon’s vicious teeth are biting into Lasillus’s neck.

Kwazizyk

Before long, Rasilus’ flesh was torn away.

-Turn it off…Uhuh…

Chuuuuuk

As the flesh was torn off, Lasilus’ body began to droop as if he lost strength.

Shake shake shake shake

The red dragon lightly shook himself off.

Wooooow

Then, Rasilus fell to the ground without even being able to resist.

“Lasillus!!! Rasillus! Rasillus!””

Upon seeing that scene, Runael urgently called Lasillus, but it was no use.

The guardian dragon that protected Northwood for a thousand years did not even move.

“Ah…Ahhh…Ahhh!”

My heart is broken by the infinitely hopeless situation.

What on earth can you do in this situation?

-Cra la la la la la la la!

At that time, the red dragon’s loud laughter began to echo…

Obvious play

I’m enjoying it.

This infinitely hopeless situation

“…”

Runael, whose will had been broken, had no intention of fighting, running away, or even standing up.

Just stare into space with empty eyes and comply

The death that is scheduled to come soon

Oh my gosh

At that time, the red dragon opened its large maw towards the sprawled Lasillus.

Confirmed kill

The intention is to kill him for sure

“No! No! No, Lasillus! No!

She suddenly came to her senses and desperately tried to dissuade him.

I said no

Please don’t kill me

Grumbling rumbling

But even with that earnest request

The red dragon did not stop.

Just focus maximum firepower in your mouth

“Nooooo!!

That was the time when despair came.

Seokgeuk

A cutting sound so clear resonated throughout the world.

Lovely love

Kwaaaaang

At the same time, the red dragon’s right wing, which had spread out as if covering the sky, fell to the ground.

Cutting line

That’s right.

It was cut by something sharp and broke off.

-Krraaaaa!!!!!!!

Tilt

With a desperate scream, the red dragon’s large body began to slowly tilt to the left.

Kwaaaaa aaaaa…

Soon after, there was a huge earthquake and the large body fell to the ground.

It looked quite different from when he soared majestically as if he were the ruler of the sky.

“…This…What the hell…”

Lunael’s expression began to turn into embarrassment.

What on earth is going on?
