World Tree (1)
dark.
The world went out in just one moment.
The darkness was so black that it was difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead.
Of course, panicked and agitated voices came from here and there.
“Brother Corinne. Brother Corinne! Hold my hand here!”
“I’m here.”
“I can’t see! Hold my hand! Hand! I’m scared!”
“Ah, that’s it!”
I cut off Estelle’s hand, who struggled exaggeratedly. saintess! A paladin approached, but Estelle said ‘Not you!’ I heard him slap his hand away.
“What a f*cking magic trick.”
Here and there wizards use light bulb magic and soldiers at their own discretion light flints to make torches.
There was barely a faint light here and there, but the world was still dark because of the light of the world that had been completely turned off.
“I found it, Dong Sae Aeeng~ Hiiing, where were you! I was scared…!”
“Let’s be serious. Don’t stick around.”
Still, it’s not too scary because there’s someone I know next to me, but when I look at the others, it seems that each of them is using their lights to determine each other’s location.
“But you haven’t heard anything like this from your sister?”
“I’m seeing it for the first time too.”
“It was Danan of ‘Gwangmyeong’, right?”
Danan Tates Balthazar of Light.
In other words, it means the ‘light’ of this world.
Therefore, it meant that he could freely handle the concept of ‘light’ that he supervised.
But on such a planetary scale… I couldn’t have imagined it.
“Is it really that the rest of the world is also completely blacked out? Or is it just this area that looks like that?”
“Even the light of the stars is gone. Perhaps the light of the whole world is gone.”
“The real exhaust god… is this even possible?”
light. I heard that it is one of the most powerful and powerful powers among the thrones.
Lu, Nuada, and Dagda, who represent the most powerful of all new kings, each symbolized the light, the sun, and the earth. The power they have must have a lot to do with the area I am in charge of.
Indeed, can this be offset? When I wondered what it would be like if I summoned the sun or Estelle prayed at full power, the ground shook.
──────!!
slight vibration. But it was too late for us to notice it.
– Kwaa!
Huge pillars bursting through the ground. We were barely able to recognize the identity of it that had suddenly sprouted from the underground.
“······tree roots?”
As if even a giant tree that is hundreds of years old would be treated as a young sprout, the roots of a huge tree tear and spread thousands and tens of thousands of branches in all directions.
The roots of trees so great grew rapidly that they disintegrated armies, broke displays, and brought chaos in all directions.
And one of those roots was heading towards me as well.
“Suck…!”
Block the roots extending from the underground with a spear. A heavy feeling as if a heavy hammer had been struck down. But the really scary thing was that this wasn’t the end.
Super-fast growth reminiscent of Druid’s rapid growth. The growing roots entangled me and stretched out endlessly.
-Kaka kakak!
Along with the spreading roots, the ground that supports me is being ground. I tried to burn the roots with the divine power of the sun, but–
‘Is the divine power absorbed?’
Unusual root strength. I urgently looked for colleagues.
“Fall! Arisha!”
Scary to call my name, Hwaran reaches out to me from behind my back. She supported me as I was being pushed along with her roots, and Arisha, who intervened, cut off the roots that were entangling me.
– Knock!
The sound was so hard that it was foreign to a tree being cut down. However, it seems that he is not strong enough to block Arisha’s sword attack.
“Corin, are you okay?”
“No big deal. Thank you. Woe to you too.”
“······.”
Hwa didn’t say much, but it was clear that he was worried about me.
“Ugh, what else did you say? It seems like something keeps coming out of the ground?”
“It’s the root of the World Tree. It’s the first time I knew it could grow rapidly like this.”
Not only this.
“Besides, this divine tree. No way…”
It was then. A loud rumble came from over there.
-Oh, the light from the saintess…!
-The saintess is praying!
Estelle held her hands tightly and began to recite a prayer.
The soldiers get excited when they witness the brilliant divine power emanating from Estelle’s body. But when her prayer was reached, she ended her prayer.
“Heo-eok…”
“Stand up, saintess!”
Estelle was out of breath and broke out in a cold sweat. She has a face wet with despair.
“This can’t be…”
“It feels like the divine power is being absorbed, right?”
“……Did you know, little brother?”
“I just noticed it when I got in touch with the roots.”

I couldn’t be part of this final fight in the previous round. It was because he was sealed by Park Si-hoo.
But in the original game, I cleared it several times. There, the roots of the World Tree were like a background that acted as field traps, but there was no talk of absorbing divine power.
‘Because players in the original work don’t use things like divine power in the first place.’
Both the Sun Cloud Solas and the Magical Cauldron Undry were all owned by Balthazar’s minions. Awakening divine power is not the development of the original work.
“If this happens, it will be difficult to deploy the sun.”
“Little brother, that’s it too… look at it.”
Estelle reached out her hand toward the dim beyond. invisible to normal people. However, I, who illuminated my vision in the dark with runes, witnessed a terrible horror.
“Whoa…”
The roots of the World Tree grew in all directions. They are thickly spread out like a huge forest.
– Hans, wait! I’m going to cut off this stem and save it!
-Damn it, it’s so chewy! can’t do it! It would be faster to turn around and meet!
-The rear troops are completely isolated! The roots are blocking it!
-Damn it, half of the supply unit is over there!
The roots that grew from the world tree, Yggdrasil, stretched out like a labyrinth separating people from the world.
“Corin, are these… really the roots that grow from trees?”
“The World Tree… In another sense, it’s called the Cosmic Tree. It’s the first time I’ve seen the scale in person.”
“If you see something like this twice, the world will end.”
“Once is enough.”
Originally, in the bad ending, there was a description that the world would dry up as the world tree bloomed.
-Corin…! Corrine!
It was then. When I turned to the voice calling me, Master and Marie were sticking out their faces from beyond where the roots were hiding.
“Senior, Master.”
“Ah, you’re all right! Thank goodness!”
“Disciple, are you not hurt anywhere?”
Marie and Master do not appear to be injured anywhere. Other guys should do the same.
“Can you come over?”
“Ugh, it’s so tough! It’s not easy because it grows back even if you tear it.”
“I think it’s because of me. This root… it’s absorbing my divine power.”
“Are you okay?”
“There is no problem at this level, but it seems that these roots are strengthened because of a god like me.”
It seems almost certain that the roots of the world tree consume divine power. then······.
“It can’t be helped. Anyway, the goal was to go back to the roots and ‘strategize’.”
The direction of the roots always extends in one direction. So, if you go back to this root, you can reach it.
Reaching the ‘three places’ springs and stopping the growth of the roots is the beginning of the World Tree capture.
“I think we’ll have to do our own way to attack the World Tree in a space torn apart by ourselves. Master, I’ll ask Marie-senpai for that. I don’t know which way to go back.”
“Huh… yes. Don’t worry about us and be careful.”
After saying goodbye to Master and Marie-senpai, I approached Estelle, who was gathering troops.
“How about the other units?”
“Yeah, it looks like Miriam’s side is completely divided. That side will take care of itself. All the other kids are similar.”
“… it’s completely split.”
“Yeah, as they intended.”
It was a similar pattern in the original. Even if it wasn’t an army of this size, as you march toward the world tree, you go back to the three roots and attack.
Go back to each root and attack and destroy the three springs to stop the growth of the World Tree. This is the first phase of conquering the World Tree.
‘The problem is that the situation has gotten much worse than before.’
The light disappeared and it was no different from night, and the growth of the world tree became much larger than what is expressed in the game.
“What do you want, brother?”
Seeing that Estelle was also anxious, it was a nuance that she wanted to depend on me a little bit.
“It would be a waste of force to cut the root. The energy source of this root is the three springs anyway.
I tried my best to stay calm.
It was intended to rush in with overwhelming power, but that became impossible.
It was an army of almost 200,000 people, including the supply unit, but the entire rear unit was completely blocked, and it is not known how far the roots of the front line troops were blocked.
There will be no more than 10,000 troops left on this side. If you subtract the wounded, it will be less.
“You mean you won’t let me make it easy.”
“······I know.”
“But if you attack Sam, you’ll get better. Please tell everyone to take care of themselves and move on.”
“Okay. Knight Commander!”
“Yes, Her Highness!”
“Pick up the wounded and prepare to move!”
We gathered together as many troops as we could and traced back to the roots.
“Mr. Corinne… where do these roots go?”
“The energy source of the World Tree is three springs.”
Mimir’s fountain.
Urd’s fountain.
The fountain of Hvergelmir.
“The worst of them is Hvergelmir’s fountain.”
It is inhabited by endless dead and dragons of death. It is the most dangerous and complicated road.
“Uh… that’s not the case.”
“No, I’d rather go that way.”
“yes?”
“The first two are relatively easy paths, but Hvergelmir is not. The strongest force has to break through with overwhelming firepower. And…”
“Because we are actually the strongest force?”
“okay.”
I picked up the names on this side.
Arisha and me Hwaran, Estelle. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best power to deal with the ‘dragon’.
“I want this side to do all the dangerous things.”
The other side is by no means an easy road. On the other side were giant eagles, and on the other side were four predatory stags.
As I continued walking like that, some of the leading soldiers hurriedly ran up.
“His Holiness! This is the report of the scouting party! A group of corpses have been found!”
“…were they the ones who went ahead first?”
“Savages… no, they were northern warriors!”
It seemed that the group, which had split due to their roots and set off on their own, had been attacked in some way.
Of course, I have told the whole army about their characteristics and types.
Tate’s Baltazar’s most powerful shadow beasts. They will have an advantage over anyone in this darkness.
“I’ll take a look first.”
“Are you okay, brother?”
“I don’t have a strategy plan for commanding an army.
“I will only trust my younger brother.”
I headed for the lead with my most trustworthy Arisha and Hwaran.
“This way, Sir Corinne.”
The forefront was filled with well over a hundred corpses. Among them, there are soldiers and knights in the Kingdom Army. the problem is······.
“There are no signs of a fight.”
“······Everything is cut to pieces.”
Arisha and Hwaran also look puzzled and check the surroundings for no signs of battle.
What this means is…
“I tore up over a hundred people. You’re a monster.”
Among the northerners, there were warriors, knights, and high-ranking wizards who were proficient in magic.
That they died before they had time to do anything?
The final act of the great war part is where the power balance fluctuates, but it’s not common to be able to do something like this.
“Oh hard breath.”
The god-king before that time. Unless you have the monstrous power to wield even a mountain sword——
“Right right. Enemy of light.”
over there A familiar voice was heard.
-Snap!
The sound of armor creaking followed.
-Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu
Brilliant golden magic illuminated the dark world. As if to show off one’s beauty.
Even though he wears dazzling armor and has a dazzling appearance, his peripheral violence is not hidden.
“Mr. Corinne… even if I could choose a bang, I chose the one that was too strong.”
“······I know.”
Ohad Breath.
He was looking this way, holding a greatsword drenched in blood.
