Chapter 1574 – 56. It’s So Easy, Right?

The ruined home of the elves

In the center of it all, there was a large dragon sprawled out.

A green dragon reassembling a midsummer forest

A legendary being who has protected Northwood alone for a thousand years

Friend of the World Tree and idol of all elves

Guardian dragon, Rasilus.

A living witness to the history that has protected Northwood since time immemorial is slowly fading away.

Slurring

My eyes keep closing.

I try my best to lift my eyelids, but it’s no use.

The eyelids are so heavy, as if they were carrying Mount Tai

-Haaa…Haaaaa…Haa…Haaaaa…

Breathing begins to become increasingly difficult.

Woowoowoouk

The body becomes even more stretched out.

‘…It’s not long now..’

Rasilus was able to realize.

The fact that death is not far away

“Lassilus! Come to your senses! Rassilus!”

An urgent voice penetrates my ears.

‘Lunael.’

A military unit called the sentinel of the forest

The leader of the rangers and a long-time friend

She was calling herself.

‘I have to answer…’

I could hardly open my mouth.

It wasn’t just the eyelids that were as heavy as Mount Tai

“Elaim! Heal Lasillus!”

Wooooow

At that time, a warm energy surrounds the body.

The highest level spirit of water, Elaim

The wave of her life began to activate her resilience.

-…Lunael..

Rasillus, who felt like he was about to die at any moment, barely opened his mouth.

“Lassilus! Are you conscious?”

Lunael smiled at those words and asked back.

-…That’s enough.

“W..What is that!?…”

Lunael asked back with an incomprehensible expression.

Is that enough?

What on earth does that mean?

-…There is nothing more foolish than holding on to false hope…I hope you are not foolish.

“…But you are recovering like this…”

-It’s just a matter of prolonging his life his his his … The bones all over his body his he has been crushed and most of his organs his he has melted … Even though activating his recovery his his … It’s not like it’s going to change anything. .

My current condition is a mess

It was itself.

Recovery alone, not regeneration, cannot bring about any dramatic change.

“…Still…If you look for it…You’ll find something different…

-Unfortunately, I don’t have much time left, because the dragon heart is cracked.

Rasilus lightly shook his head.

After being directly hit by the dragon’s breath, he excessively unleashed his magic power.

It would be natural for the dragon heart to crack

-So let me go now…I want to feel comfortable.

“No… Lord Lasillus… No… I can’t let you go like this… I don’t want to part ways like this.”

Lunael stubbornly refused.

I couldn’t let you go like this.

We couldn’t break up like this.

-Don’t be sad, parting is a promise of reunion… Even if we fall apart now… We’ll meet again someday

“. Racilus… Huh…

Lunael had transparent tears in her pitiful eyes.

Does she think she is breaking up with Rasillus?

This was because a huge, indescribable sadness shook her emotions.

-Hehe, how can a guy who is the leader of the ranger unit cry so much? What will you do if your unit members see it?

“Uuuuu You shouldn’t cry.

-…Only after this…How can I trust you and rest in peace?

“.Can’t you go?…Can’t we just stay together?”

-I want to do that too… I really want to… Even though I’ve lived for over a thousand years, there are still a lot of things I want to see… But unfortunately, this is the life I’m allowed to live… I’m sorry… Lunal.

“No… Rather, it is I who is sorry… If only I had been a little stronger… Lord Lasillus… It would not have ended up like this…”

I felt extreme guilt.

Because they are too weak

Rasilus had to handle too many things alone.

How can you not feel guilty?

-Don’t blame yourself… Lunal… I was just destined to die like this today in the first place… But I have no regrets… I love… I cherish… My hometown. ..In my forest…My nest…My friends…My children…I died…Even if I could turn back time, my choice would be the same.〈 Br〉

Rasilus smiled softly.

There were no regrets.

It was a decision to protect precious things

Even if I could turn back time, I would make the same choice

“Master Rasilus…”

-…Ha…Ha…I’m getting tired now…I want to rest…Please…Make me feel comfortable…Lunael

Rasillus continued, breathing heavily.

“…Lasilus…You…Were our guardian deity, a precious friend, and a parent…Because of you, we were able to be at peace…And because of you, we were able to be happy. There was… I am truly grateful for the long time of a thousand years.”

Soon, Luna El raised one of his hands high in the sky.

Hwiiiiing

Then, a spray of water erupts and forms one large blade.

A blade that maximizes the power of Elaim, the highest-class water spirit.

‘…If that’s the case…I can go to rest right away.’

As the power of Elaim is concentrated

Its cutting power easily surpasses that of most famous swords.

It won’t be that difficult to go to rest

“Thank you… I love you… Lasillus.”

And it begins to pour out without hesitation.

Towards the heart of Rasilus

‘I love you too, children of the World Tree.’

Lasillus smiled brightly.

Then she closed her eyes and waited quietly.

May eternal rest come to you

How long has it been like that?

‘…Why doesn’t it hurt?’

But soon Rasilus felt puzzled.

I definitely saw the blade of water stabbing in.

By now, it is time for your heart to ache even if you ache.

But how can one not feel pain?

‘…Is he already dead?’

To say that, my body was so heavy as if it were being weighed down by Mount Tai.

‘What the hell is it?’

Slurring

In the end, Rasilus could not control his curiosity and slowly raised his eyes.

And I could see it.

With just one sword

A white-haired man blocking a blade created by condensing the power of Elaim, the highest-class spirit of water.

“Isn’t it too early to euthanize?”

Seonwoo, the white-haired man who blocked the blade, opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“…Lassilus’ dragon heart has cracked…And we have no way of doing anything other than helping him rest. “

Since the dragon heart is cracked

There was no hope anymore.

Other than just taking his life with his own hands before he suffers more pain

-Ha… That’s exactly what it says, … Ha… I have no hope… Human… Other than dying in pain… That’s why Lunael It was just out of consideration for me … It was never an attempt to cover up and kill me… So I hope you don’t misunderstand.

Lasillus desperately defended her.

Could it be that I am misunderstood and hated?

Because I was worried

“It wasn’t really a misunderstanding.”

-Then I’m glad…Human…I’m so glad…

Rasilus looked relieved.

-…Bahamut…Is he dead?

“I beat him just enough not to kill him.”

Hehe… It’s quite a pleasant thing… That arrogant dragon… Suffers such misfortune…

Rasilus laughs lightly.

Does she think that the arrogant dragon who trampled her has been wronged?

This is because I felt cool as if the congestion had gone down.

-…Thank you…Human…Thanks to you, I can go on the final journey with peace of mind…I am truly grateful…For protecting the elves…Here…For protecting my hometown…Northwood…

Rasilus smiled softly.

-Honey, can you kill me? If I die at the hands of an absolute being who overwhelms even Bahamut, I won’t be ashamed of my path to the underworld.

“I refuse.”

Sunwoo refused without any hesitation.

-…I see…I am…Not worth killing…I guess so…Even Bahamut…You are like me…Who overpowered you… A dying dragon… It’s just infinitely worthless…I’m sorry…I asked you such a rude favor…

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

From his perspective, he would be as worthless as a goblin

“That’s not what I meant, Rasilus.”

-…If that’s not what you mean…What does it mean?

“It means you won’t die.”

-Expresses power, ‘power’. (Target: Agnes)

I borrow faith

Tiring

[Abilities that were restricted by meeting conditions are unlocked]

[The three powers are combined to enable conditional special power evolution.]

[God’s grace evolves into divine grace.]

Tiring

[God’s grace]

ㅁYou can bestow divine grace.

ㅁThe recipient feels the utmost joy from the holy fullness that cannot even be compared to the grace of God.

ㅁThe target will recover from all status ailments.

ㅁRestores all wounds of the subject.

All of them were perfect upward compatibility with the existing powers.

Hwahiah ahhhhh

A huge divinity began to surround the whole body of Rasilus, who was completely injured.

The burned scales and skin sprout.

The bones of the whole body, which had been crushed into small pieces, are put back together again.

The organs that had melted away are regenerated and connected again.

And the cracked dragon hearts start to fit together again and stick together.

And the light of her divinity began to completely regenerate her, who she had been thinking to be hopeless.

How long has it been like that?

Soon, Rasilus, who had been completely injured, restored his body to its healthiest state.

To the point where it feels like a lie that I was driven to the brink of death

A perfect recovery was achieved.

-…

“…”

In that miraculous situation, not only Lasillus but even Lunael was left speechless.

The light that restores even a shattered dragon heart

An absolute light that forcibly brings life back from death?

How can such a miraculous thing be possible?

“It’s so easy, isn’t it?”

Seon-woo, the one who performed the unbelievable miracle, just grinned as he looked at them.

As if it wasn’t even a big deal

*******

-…

“…”

Rasilus and Lunael

A rather awkward silence settled between them.

This was because everyone avoided eye contact and no one opened their mouth.

“Why are you so silent?”

Seon-woo, who felt puzzled by the situation, tilted his head and asked back.

I thought we would embrace each other in joy

The response was more lukewarm than expected.

-…It’s because I’m embarrassed.

“…Me too…

Rasilus and Runael opened their mouths in embarrassed tones.

I thought I was going to die right now

They were the ones who casually blurted out the embarrassing words they had been keeping inside.

Because I thought it was the last time

He was able to say more cringy and embarrassing things than anyone else.

But it wasn’t the last.

I came to a situation where I had no choice but to take responsibility for the shame of the words I had said.

How can you not be embarrassed?

“I don’t know what it is, but just brush it off, because I have a lot to say about this and that.”

-…I understand…Human

“…I understand.”

Rasilus and Runael opened their mouths as if in agreement.

“Anyway, as I said before, Bahamut has been subdued. He will no longer destroy the village.”

“…Can I ask why you didn’t kill me?”

“To make them slaves.”

Seonwoo opened his mouth as if it was no big deal.

“Ba..Hamut?”

-A slave!?”

Lunael and Rasilus’ eyes widen

Who is Bahamut?

Isn’t he the Dragon of Destruction called Literary Dragon, one of the seven rulers of the continent and the dragon lord, Vegas?

I would make Bahamut my slave

“I just happened to need a useful car.”

“…Bahamut…”

-A private car…

The two women still looked like they couldn’t believe it.

“Of course, this assumes that Bahamut’s words about not killing the elves are true.”

The premise was attached.

Just as a dog that has tasted human blood cannot be saved

If it was an evil dragon that couldn’t use its hands, I wouldn’t have any intention of making it a pet.

It will just make you feel uncomfortable

-Perhaps that is true.

At that time, Rasilus quietly opened his mouth.

-Contrary to when dealing with me, when dealing with elves, I controlled my strength to a strange degree.

“…Whew…I’m glad…My compatriots are alive…”

Lunael breathed a sigh of relief at Rasilus’ assurance.

At least I thought there would be no mass funeral.

“But… That’s strange… Why… Did they try to keep the elves alive?”

That terrible evil dragon has power control

It really didn’t fit.

“I heard you were trying to sell it?”

“Yes?!? Sell ​​it out!?”

-Sell…Get rid of it?…Bahamut means an elf!?

The two people asked back as if they couldn’t believe it.

“They said so, but I couldn’t hear the details due to restrictions..”

-…Did they even start interrogating him?

“Eun-gong…How strong is he?”

Rasilus and Runael asked back as if they were dumbfounded.

Against Bahamut, the seven rulers

I can’t believe they subdued the bird and completed the interrogation in such a short time.

It was a truly incredible force.

How can it be so strong?

“Well, it’s enough to walk around without getting hit.”

“I’m too humble.”

-If you can get by without getting hit…Does that mean I’m a neighborhood book?

Lunael and Rasilus waved their hands saying it was nonsense.

Even if there was too much humility, it was too much.

Even if you search the entire continent, you can count on a handful of people who can compete with you.

Are you saying that it’s just a level where something doesn’t fit?

“…It’s true.”

Seonwoo looked embarrassed.

It wasn’t humility, it was sincerity.

Although it has become quite strong

Because I couldn’t reach the standard

Even if you were at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, you could not guarantee victory or defeat.

I’m not the strongest

How can you boast that you are strong?

“I see, I understand! You are a person with innate strength, humility, benevolence, and justice!”

-I think so too, I respect you, human being!

Lunael and Rasilus looked at Sunwoo with sparkling eyes and raised their voices.

I made a mistake and came to this conclusion.

“…Not at all?”

I just came forward to feel at ease.

I also had the intention of taking on debt.

He is not the type that is particularly full of justice and benevolence.

“Great humility! I am touched! I will follow your example!”

-Me too! In over a thousand years of living, I have never seen a human being who has both superiority and humility like you! I will follow your example!

“…”

I was able to know this through long experience.

No matter what you say, they will just interpret it as they please

‘Okay, think as you please.’

It wasn’t that bad.

To meet the World Tree

Their help was desperately needed

‘It’s not long before I change jobs.’

A deep smile appeared on Sunwoo’s lips.

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

Northwood Central

A large secret room located deep underground

There was a very bare tree standing there.

World Tree

The first tree that connected heaven and earth

The origin of all elves

Source of life

The legendary giant tree was gradually dying.

With a shape whose original form cannot even be guessed

“Haaa..”

Elodin, the strongest sentinel guarding the World Tree, sighed deeply.

Concerns overflowed over the state of the World Tree, which was drying up no matter how hard we tried.

‘Why…My mother…Falling down like this…?’

Boom boom boom

Soon El Rodin shook her head harshly.

Even the thought was blasphemous.

How could a child say something like that to her mother?

‘Don’t be foolish! Eldrin! Trust your mother! You are not the kind of person who will fall down like this! He is the one who has firmly maintained his position since Genesis! ‘

El Rodin captured her spirit again and again.

She vowed that she would never have such unlucky thoughts again

‘In just a little while, Selena will find a way.’

High Elf, Selena Iruniel

The noblest and greatest among leaders all elves stepped forward in person.

She will most likely find a way to heal her mother soon.

‘Yes, let’s believe in your mother…Selena…’

It was a time when she consoled herself like that

Creepy

Suddenly, a chill passes through her spine.

Whiik

Sensing her anxiety, Elrodin quickly turns her head away.

At that moment she could see.

Black hair that is darker than jet black

A peerless person with beautiful eyes that seem to be studded with gold

‘I… Got caught!?’

Elodin was embarrassed.

Elf’s Strongest Sentinel

She said to have a level of power approaching that of the seven rulers. How could she be caught so easily!?

How can something like this happen?

The moment I was so embarrassed

Suddenly

The opponent grabbed the hilt of the sword.

“Where!”

Elodin also grabbed the hilt of his sword as if he would not lose.

Player’s victory

He was planning to take out her sword and cut her down right away.

What is it?

At that moment, a dull hitting sound rings out.

Rumbling

“…Huh?”

And then something hot starts flowing down her face.

‘…Blood?’

The moment I reached out and touched her face to check

I was able to realize it.

She realized that she had been wrong.

‘…When?’

Cheolpudeok

With a question in his mind, Elodin fell to the cold floor.

She couldn’t overcome the huge shock that pounded her head and passed out.

Togak Togak Togak Togak Togak

As Elodin fainted, the jet-black girl walked past him.

Drop

And then she stopped completely in front of the withering World Tree.

“…World Tree.”

Her golden eyes her, her sparkle her.
