Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 185
Episode 185
Roxy, who had become separated from Raymond at some point, was very embarrassed by the current situation.
We were obviously together just a moment ago.
The condition of the forest was no different from usual, and I was almost clinging to Raymond so as not to be separated from him.
But why did I miss it?
“How…”
I was embarrassed because it was my first time doing something like this.
It felt like the entire forest was rejecting her.
Or more accurately, it seemed like she didn’t want to be with Raymond.
“Are you telling me to go back to you now?”
A tree branch came down and pushed her back.
The vine was grabbing her wrist and urging her to quickly return to the village.
A strange feeling as if the entire forest was alive.
She doesn’t know how to react because it’s something she’s never experienced in her life.
Shuhuaak –
When she was wandering for a while, the wind gathered.
“jin?”
A wind spirit she had never summoned appeared before her.
Jin, the wind spirit in human form, spoke to her.
[Go back.]
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Go back. “He’s in there!”
[He said we will solve it. It’s none of your business, so go back.]
Jin just repeated telling her to go back.
How did this happen?
Jin’s condition was not normal.
Although he spoke less, it wasn’t to the point where he said just one thing in succession.
‘No way…’
After thinking for a while, Roxy was able to come to one conclusion.
Nature pushed her away and now the spirit tells her to return.
What kind of being can control nature and treat spirits like limbs?
“…That’s your mother’s command, right? “Is it also my mother’s will that separated me from him?”
[Go back.]
“That’s right… I won’t ask why. I guess your mother has her own thoughts.”
Roxy muttered quietly.
Jin stared at her and didn’t say anything.
Not only did he speak little to begin with, but now he was only able to say one thing due to someone’s control.
“okay. I’ll go back. “Before that, can I ask you one thing?”
[….]
“Will he be able to return safely?”
[…We do not harm life.]
Roxy nodded, saying she was relieved at Jin’s words, which had been quiet for a while.
[….]
Jin watched Roxy leave and then suddenly disappeared.

Now, let’s think about it.
Why do I have to fall into this state?
I thought about it and thought about it, but I couldn’t figure it out.
Did I curse the elves or damage part of the forest?
There was nothing like that at all.
Rather, it only did the beneficial thing of removing the parasites that clung to the World Tree.
So why is the spirit blocking me?
“Why do I have to go through this in the first place?”
The more I thought about it, the more I felt dirty.
‘Just break it in and go in?’
He pushed the auror into his fist, but then shook his head and unclenched his fist.
Not only was it not a good idea to engage in confrontation with the elves in a situation where something was still unclear, but I was also worried about the repercussions that would come if I attacked that spirit.
“How long do I have to stay like this?”
I looked around.
Trees, vines, tree vines… There were only plants.
The hatchling that went inside had no intention of coming out.
As I was staring blankly at the earth spirit, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
‘Should I just go back?’
Even when I go back, they can’t say anything.
Who would treat someone like this when they came to help?
It wasn’t strange when I swore at them.
‘Let’s destroy it. I just need to break it enough for me to fit in.’
I’ve come this far and I can’t just go back.
And even if I tried to go back, I couldn’t go out unless the forest let me out.
So it is right to go in even if it means breaking it.
I’m trapped because of them, but they won’t say anything if I break a tree.
Uuuuung –
I pulled out the cotton and pushed the auror in.
Nameless made a pleasant noise and accepted the Auror.
I injected a moderate amount of aura and stretched my feet forward.
Kwakagagak!
Nameless hits the wooden wall.
It was wood, but a metal sound was heard. But no matter how strong it was, it couldn’t stop the unknown.
Maybe it was the previous nameless person, but the current nameless person felt like he could cut down even the hard Amantadium.
The wooden wall was a little hard, but not so much that it couldn’t be cut down.
Kugugu-
The wooden wall was cut cleanly and fell down.
I could see the interior through the cut wall.
“It really varies.”
Hatchlings were flying around.
It was flapping its small wings and flying towards the World Tree.
He seemed to be possessed by something.
I couldn’t bear to watch that happen, so I went inside and shouted.
“hey!”
-Ugh?
The hatchling stopped flying at my yelling.
Then, he looked around blankly and quickly came back to me and hugged me.
I walked away without hugging the hatchling.
“What is this again?…”
There was not only a hatchling next to the World Tree.
There was an outsider wearing a mask.
And the outsider was sprinkling something red at the roots of the World Tree.
Purple smoke was swirling around them.
“…!”
They look at me and are confused. They also nodded to each other for a moment and gave signals.
I had no intention of just watching that happen.
He kicked the ground, filling his legs with aura.
“attack…!”
They pointed to where I was and tried to shout.
For a moment, he looked around in confusion as if he hadn’t noticed that I had disappeared from my seat.
“Where are you looking around like that?”
He placed his hands on the shoulders of the two outsiders who were holding bags of powder in their hands.
“…!”
They freak out and try to get out of my hand.
I pushed their shoulders down faster than that.
Puddeuddeuk!
The sound of bones breaking was heard and they fell to the ground.
Without stopping, I hit their necks and knocked them out.
“100 million…!”
I didn’t know it would happen, but they fell to the ground so easily.
I could hear bones breaking… but I guess he wasn’t dead.
“What are you guys? “What are you doing here?”
They turned their heads and made signals among themselves.
A look of confusion was evident.
I glanced around at them. And he shook his head at the defenselessness of the elves who let these guys in so easily and at the foolishness of the intruder who did not think to cover his pointed ears.
“I thought there would be reactionary elements among the elves, but it’s a refreshing feeling to meet them like this.”
“What are you talking about…!”
“We are not the forest clan!”
They are embarrassed and shouting, but their excuses are very poor.
“Forest clan… we don’t use that word. No, most of them are like that. “Only elves use that word, so I don’t know if I should call it stupid or immature.”
“…!”
Their eyes shake rapidly.
For a moment, they nod their heads as if they have decided on something.
It was obvious that he had decided to silence me by killing me.
“If you were going to kill me, you should have decided quickly.”
I had no intention of being treated obediently.
I was so angry at the thought that I was out there being a fool because of those guys that I couldn’t control my strength.
Puk puk!
I swung my fist and hit them in the face and abdomen.
They fell to the ground without even a single protest.
“hey. Do you think a guy called a dragon is possessed by something like this?”
After clearing out the intruders, I looked around and saw a hatchling moving along the purple smoke.
-But… it smells so good.
The hatchling looked tearful at my words, but also wrinkled her nose as if she wanted to smell a little more of the purple smoke.
What on earth is that smell like?
No matter how much I breathed, there was no smell.
‘Is this a bit like that? A powder that bewitches beasts.’
But were hatchlings part of the beast family?
No matter how I look at it, it looks like a reptile.
While thinking about such nonsense, I turned my head and looked down at the powder they had been scattering.
“Bloodstone powder.”
Those spilling on the tree were none other than bloodstone powder.
It’s also very finely ground.
While I was impressed by their sincerity in grinding the ore to this level, my mouth watered at the thought of being able to obtain this good product in large quantities.
I was angry when I thought about how I had been dazed for so long because of those guys, but this was it.
Ugh!
Unknown, who recognized the bloodstone, trembled slightly and urged me that he wanted to eat it quickly.
Without wasting time, I stabbed the cotton ball into the center where the bloodstone powder was gathered.
I flinch.
At that moment, the entire World Tree seemed to tremble, but I ignored it, thinking it must be an illusion.
“hmm… Maybe I removed too many bloodstones and thought there was no hope? “It seems like the plan was to just kill him with one blow.”
It seemed like he took a gamble because he thought there was no hope for the World Tree, which had regained much of its energy.
Because many of the pits disappeared and only a very small amount of bloodstone remained.
I kept it because I thought I was sparing, otherwise it would all have disappeared long ago.
But without even knowing that, they probably brought a large amount of bloodstone powder and poured it on.
‘Was this why the forest stopped me?’
I think it was done to prevent another intruder.
If they had let me in quickly, they wouldn’t have been able to pour the bloodstone.
Or, I thought, maybe he was trying to protect them from me.
The world tree I saw at that time had the appearance of a human.
She probably didn’t want to see the elves who treated her as her mother die by my hands.
Well, that was just my guess.
Anyway, they failed.
That’s enough.
“For now, hand these guys over to the elves.”
While Nameless was sucking up the bloodstone stuck to the World Tree, I took off the intruders’ masks and confirmed that they were elves.
And they gathered all but one of them in one place.
“Can you tie them up?”
-there is!
As soon as I finished speaking, the hatchling began pouring all kinds of magic at the elves.
I approached the elf I had set aside, telling him to just make sure he didn’t die.
slap.
slapped my face
I hit the elf hard enough to turn his head to the side, but the stunned elf did not respond.
I was a little taken aback by that.
I knew I couldn’t control my strength, but I was worried that I might be dead.
Although they are intruders, they are elves.
They should be punished by the same elves, but if they are killed by my hands, it will be a little difficult.
I grabbed the elf by the neck and headed toward the water of the nearest World Tree.
Gurgling –
When the elf’s face was lowered into the water, air bubbles floated to the surface.
How much time has passed?
The elf struggled as if he was out of breath.
“Fuha!Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
As soon as I let go of my hand, the elf came out of the water, writhing in pain and breathing heavily.
