Prophecy of the World Tree (1)
A white light emanated from Iris’ body.
The party members stared at the light flowing from Iris’ body with slightly nervous expressions.
Soon after,
[Savior.]
Iris’s consciousness sank, and Elune filled her place.
Elune slowly turned her head to look at the rain.
Her expression toward him showed deep trust and expectation. How is the state of the World Tree? Kang-woo asked in a cautious voice.
The world tree was the only way to find the demon’s heart right now.
If the World Tree had not been resurrected,
it would have been quite a headache.
[I haven’t fully regained my strength yet, but my condition continues to improve.]
Elune replied with a faint smile on her lips.
Relief appeared on the faces of the party members.
If so…
[Yes]
Elune nodded. [You can find out where the demon’s heart is.]
Phew.
thank god.
Yeonju Cha rubbed her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
Leila looked back at Kang Woo and smiled.
Where is the devil’s heart
?
Kang-woo asked in a subdued voice. [Please wait a moment.] Elune gently closed her eyes and put her hands together.
A cluster of brilliant green light appeared around her body.
A warm yet gentle energy that was difficult to describe in words spread widely throughout the room.
[The mighty titan Yggdrasil.]
Elune’s low prayer echoed.
As the prayer continued, the green light that filled the room grew even larger.
[Please light the path ahead of the savior.]
-Ugh!
The swirling light within Elune’s body intensified.
Kang-woo slightly frowned at the light that became so strong that he couldn’t open his eyes properly.
It was then.
[Ah]
Elune’s eyes widened.
She trembled with a pale, tired expression. [Ah ah ah.]
‘What’s wrong with him again?’
Kang Woo frowned at Elune, who was moaning with a pale expression.
‘What is it about me?
Elune’s expression right now was the same as the one he showed when he foretold his future.
Kang-woo twisted his expression, thinking that he was the cause again this time.
What are you doing? [Yes Prophecy…] Prophecy?
[A new prophecy… has come down,]
Elune said in a stuttering voice.
Her eyes were hazy as she looked up into empty space.
what prophecy?
[…]
There was silence.
The light disappeared from Elune’s eyes looking up into the sky.
She opened her mouth with a blank look, like a machine that had lost power.
[The day when the black sun burns the sky and the Ma Sea floods. The world of three elements will come to an end.]
Hearing the prophecy flowing from Elune’s mouth, Kang-woo sighed with an expression that said so.
‘It’s me again.
I don’t know what the black sun means, but the expression that the sea is overflowing was exactly referring to him.
Kang Woo gritted his teeth with an expression of disgust.
‘No fuck.
It’s the end of the world, it’s Nabal, and I don’t give a damn about it.
‘Just leave me alone, bastards,
why are you fucking saying that you can’t eat it?
Kang Woo grabbed the back of his neck and bit his lip
.
For a while, Kang-woo took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.
‘It won’t be a prophecy that came without grounds.
If that was the case, Elune’s expression couldn’t have been as hard as it was. There will be differences in specific content, but
it will be
the future that will actually unfold.
‘What the hell is going to happen?
I couldn’t tell. The expression itself was ambiguous, and even the approximate time was unknown.
There were too few clues to predict the future events that the prophecies warned about. …. What kind of nonsense is that?
Cha Yeon-joo tilted her head at the content of the prophecy that seemed to catch floating clouds.
[I’m not sure what that means either.]
Elune shook his head with a heavy expression.
[But… it is certain that the world is on the verge of an end in the not-too-distant future.]
….
A death-like silence fell.
Kim Si-hoon lowered his head with a dark expression and said.
Are you saying that even if you go this far… nothing will change?
He killed one of the Four Heavenly Kings and resurrected the fallen World Tree.
Still, the future hasn’t changed.
even alittle.
It was something I was determined to do anyway.
Kang Woo spoke with a light laugh to change the gloomy atmosphere.
He didn’t know exactly what the prophecy pointed to, but as long as he was the target the prophecy pointed to, there was nothing to worry about.
‘What am I doing to destroy the world?
There are so many things I haven’t done yet.
He suffered as he was doomed to hell for a whopping ten thousand years.
Are you going to destroy the world just because you’re crazy when you’re just trying to enjoy life?
‘More than that.
It wasn’t the time to care about floating noises or prophecy. Where is the demon’s heart?
[Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot something important.]
Elune went on with her cheeks blushing in embarrassment.
[The place where the demon’s heart is now…]
She gently closed her eyes.
Once again, a white halo of light radiated from her body.
Slowly opening her eyes, she turned her head to stare in one direction.
[Could you lend me your map?]
Yes.
Thinking of such a case, Kangwoo held out a map of the continent he had prepared in advance.
Elune pointed to a portion of the map.
uh? This place…
Cha Yeon-joo, who was looking at the place Elune pointed out, widened her eyes.
The place she pointed to on the map.
Kang-woo barely swallowed the rising double desire.
It’s the first place we’ve been to…
Laughter mingled with dejection flowed out.
The place Elune pointed out was the huge forest that Gangwoo and his friends had crossed over.
It was a ban (禁止) called ‘Nightmare Forest’ on the continent.
No, have you been fooling around all this time?
Cha Yeon-joo asked as if he could not stand the injustice.
Kang Woo let out a deep sigh. Is
this what it means to say that it is dark under the lamp
?
It felt like being hit in the head with a hammer.
Because I couldn’t find it in the first place.
Of course, just
because it was the first place they arrived did not mean they neglected to investigate.
Rather, he investigated every corner of the Nightmare Forest with the Power of the Beholder more meticulously than anywhere else.
Even so, it could not be found means
that
it was hidden to the extent that it could not be confirmed even with authority.
It could be that the place where the demon’s heart was belatedly ‘moved’ there.
Anyway, if you’ve found the place where the demon’s heart is, there’s no reason to procrastinate.
Kang Woo stood up.
The ultimate goal that had come from Earth to the Ernore continent was visible in front of them.
There was no need or reason to hesitate.
yes bro
It’s okay for us to start at any time.
Kim Si-hoon and Ray also got up along with Kang-woo.
Kang Woo nodded.
[May the light be with the Savior on the path ahead.]
Elune bowed her head with her hands neatly folded.
And
[cool!]
Dark red blood poured from her mouth.
Eh Elune?!
Leila approached her with a startled expression.
Elune put a faint smile on her lips, as if telling her not to worry.
[it’s okay. Cool!]
Contrary to her words that it was okay, green light flowed from Elune’s body and
was scattered in the air.
‘This is…’
Kang Woo narrowly opened his eyes. ‘Is it restricted?’
When a being with innate divinity uses power in the material world, it is ‘limited by the law of the Titans.
Judging from her current appearance, it seems that she was prepared to even disappear as a divinity in order to find the heart of the Demon God.
[Please… please… save this world.]
The light flowing from Elune’s body gradually faded.
She stretched out her trembling hand toward Kang-woo.
Kang Woo held her hand and put a smile on his lips.
I swear by the godhead of brilliance. I will definitely… I will definitely protect this world from the brink of destruction.
[Ah…]
Elune’s eyes trembled.
She lowered her head, shedding clear tears.
Soon, the green light emanating from her body completely faded.
Kang Woo.
Iris, who came back to consciousness, staggered toward Kang-woo.
I’m resting.
…will you come back?
Kang Woo didn’t answer and lightly stroked Iris’s head.
She collapsed unconscious.
Whoops.
I picked up the body of Iris who was collapsing and put her on the bed.
Okay then.
I turned my head and looked at the party members.
let’s go.
It feels like something has been coming here for a very long time.
After arriving at the forest of nightmares, Kang-woo looked around.
Although less than half a year had passed since I came to the Erno continent,
it felt like a very long time had passed. Because a lot has happened in the meantime. Kim Si-hoon nodded and replied. So where are you? Kang Woo lifted himself up lightly using his powers to conduct a full-scale investigation. … hmm?
At that moment, a strange feeling of alienation crossed my mind.
Kang Woo frowned and looked at the forest of nightmares. Why is that, my king?
…something is strange. what do you mean? Why did you and Sihun go out of their way and destroy the forest in half?
ah.
The Balrog cleared his throat as if the memory of that time had come to mind.
I remember… What’s wrong with that? No trace.
Kangwoo came down from the air and put his hands on the ground.
He even used the Power of the Watcher
to examine the surrounding land, but there was no sign of the forest being destroyed.
This is kind of weird. There’s no way the traces of that fool’s rampage will disappear in just a few months.
Lilith approached and looked around.
As she said, it was not a sign that would disappear in a few months.
Wasn’t it because of those Maokais before? You know, that animated tree monster.
Kang-woo shook his head at Cha Yeon-joo’s question.
No, but it’s strange that the traces have disappeared to this extent.
The moment I arrived at the forest of nightmares, I continued to feel a sense of heterogeneity that I had never felt before.
The air brushed his cheeks, as hot as summer after a stifling rain.
‘Something.’
It felt like I was in another world.
That Mr. Kang Woo…
Huh?
Take a look at this.
Han Seol-ah approached Kang-woo and held out her hand.
Kang Woo’s expression hardened when he saw what was placed on top of her hand. … This.
You said it once before, right? The place where Mr. Kang Woo was… There was sand like this in hell.
What was on her hand was red sand.
A barren land that contains demonic energy that life cannot live on. Sand
that can only be found in the land of Nine Heavens Hell
.
where did you find this I… here in the trees. Seolah Han pointed to a tree whose bark had been peeled off and said.
When Kang Woo approached and touched the tree
– shudder. what else is this The tree itself turned to red sand and collapsed. ‘Wait, this can’t be…’
Kang Woo’s expression hardened.
The worst thoughts ran through my head.
Kangwoo waved his hand lightly at the surrounding trees.
A cluster
of lights the size of a finger was created and shot towards the surrounding trees like
bullets
.
what is it Why did the tree suddenly
become sand?
Cha Yeon-joo tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.
Kang Woo answered with a lick of his lips. Trees don’t become sand.
then?
Kang-woo bent down and put his hand on the ground.
As soon as the brown soil was exposed, the entire forest was eroded by the Nine Heavens Hell.
I could see the blood-red sand covered with demonic energy thickly all over the land.
A quiet forest that does not feel the slightest vitality.
Through the bush, a being bounced off and flew away.
-Kooung!
A large pit formed on the floor that had been thrown out, and dust rose. It was
dust made of blood-red sand
.
Cool cool!
The creature, which had been thrown backwards terribly, put its hands on the floor and groaned in pain.
jerk jerk.
A dark-haired boy with blank eyes walked towards him.
What’s up Lucifer?
An eerie flesh bloomed in the boy’s blurry gaze.
The boy’s mouth parted horribly.
I thought you would welcome me. The
young boy
smiled brightly
as he looked down at Lucifer who had fallen on the floor .
