Episode 341: Graksar (5)
It was a sudden situation.
Seeing the flames originating from Roman Dmitri engulfing the World Tree, Tersha was startled and tried to stop him.
however.
Stand tall.
I stopped walking.
Something was strange.
“… … “What is this?”
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
It was a scene that cannot be described in words.
Tersha felt heat as if her body would melt just by approaching, but Roman Dmitri and the World Tree appeared unharmed even though they were burning.
I blinked several times.
Although it was clearly in the middle of the flames, it did not feel hot, nor did it appear to be burning in any part.
It was unrealistic.
Tersha looked at the situation in fascination as it went against the laws of nature.
It was then.
Drop, drop.
Water droplets fell from the World Tree.
At first, I didn’t understand the situation.
When I belatedly raised my head and looked at the upper part, the white frozen parts were starting to melt and water droplets were falling.
It was a scene that could not be explained by the common sense of the elves.
The World Tree is a being with substance based on the energy of wood, but that does not mean that the general phenomena that people know apply to it.
The reason why the world’s trees are frozen is not simply because of the cold.
The chill arising from the dimensional crack ate away at life force, and as a result, the World Tree began to freeze.
blast furnace.
This couldn’t have happened.
I couldn’t understand why fire didn’t burn, and why fire melted frozen parts.
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
The fire became more intense.
As the World Tree gradually regained its original color, the surroundings changed as if to assimilate with it.
Grrrr.
The light spread out.
Green leaves grew on the bare branches of the trees, and as the ground covered with snow melted, the grass hidden under the ground came out.
The strong wind also decreased. The snow that had been falling heavily seemed to have subsided, at least in the elves’ territory.
It was an influence from the World Tree that Tersha had never experienced before.
Although it only regained some of its vitality, the power coming from the World Tree changed the surroundings.
I couldn’t stop it.
No, there was no reason to stop him.
I don’t understand what the situation is, but Roman Dmitry is achieving the regeneration of the World Tree that the elves desperately wanted.
Any oracle, any prophecy. I have never been told of a situation like this.
As the miracle unfolded before her eyes, all Tersha could do was watch.
That moment.
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
Roman Dmitry’s consciousness was sucked somewhere into the flames.
* * *
It was a strange feeling.
Roman Dmitry was watching what was happening in a certain space, remaining conscious.
“Report the situation.”
A dark space.
The being sitting at the head of the table spoke.
There were two people kneeling in front of him, but their faces were not visible due to the darkness.
One person went first.
“Starting from the Roman Dmitry incident, those in power in the past, including the Duke of Vieto, began to rise up. What they want is the romance of Valhalla. In a situation where Valhalla, which once valued its value as a warrior as its top priority, is committing blatantly cowardly acts, Duke Vieto is coming to the forefront and rallying the people. The public is on their side. “If the situation is incited just a little bit more, it could quickly escalate into a civil war.”
As he said.
War clouds hung over Valhalla.
People flocking from all over Valhalla expressed their dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Valhalla.
OK.
said another person.
“Emperor Valhalla is responding strongly to this situation. Instead of listening to the people, he is marshaling his forces and using force to oppress them. Valhalla’s power is largely controlled by the Emperor. “If he gives the order to suppress the rebellion, Valhalla will face irreversible disaster.”
“Fuha.”
The presence at the table burst into laughter.
It was fun.
The way things turned around made him happy.
He put his face forward.
His face, slightly revealed, resembled the ‘Alexandr’ that Roman Dmitry remembered.

“Our plan is progressing steadily without a single deviation. The variables caused by Dmitry are nothing more than trivial things that are not worth expressing as variables when we achieve what we want. Rather, it gave me the opportunity to advance something I had been planning for a long time. Incite people. Provoke people. “The moment Valhalla is engulfed in war, we will be able to hasten the moment we have hoped for.”
Squeak.
I leaned in.
The moment Alexandre was about to say something more, the space began to distort.
It’s soggy.
Things have changed.
This time it was a different space.
A woman with a miserable appearance collapsed on the floor and her expression distorted.
“… … Ugh.”
There was blood on his side.
When I touched it with my hand and unleashed divine power, the wound, as if it had been inflicted by an animal, healed quickly.
She was Isabel.
Someone came in front of her.
“Your Majesty the Queen. You must return to Luna now. The demons of Kronos have already seen through our plan. Having lost all of her soldiers, fighting further will only put Her Majesty in danger. Please, I beg you earnestly. “Please follow me just once.”
Tuk.
I got down on my knees.
Leader of Luna’s royal knights.
Leo asked in a desperate voice.
“That’s not allowed.”
I shook my head.
Because there are only two of us.
Isabelle looked a little comfortable.
“Leo. From the moment I was born, I had a purpose in life. Because he was given an oracle, he always lived according to God’s will. But how could I betray His will? “I can’t run away from here, putting all the people who believed in me and followed me into harm’s way, and taking care of my own safety.”
My voice trembled.
The demons of Kronos.
Soldiers were killed by them.
Isabel was at the forefront and brought about the blessing, but the soldiers began to collapse due to the constant influx of enemies.
I still remember the situation at that time clearly.
The soldiers plunged their weapons into the ground, shouting God’s name even as their limbs were torn apart, but Isabel knew that it meant nothing.
Enemies are infinite.
Humans have limits, but our enemies had no limits.
Isabel stood up.
Although she may have recovered externally with divine power, her body complained of pain here and there due to the arduous journey.
The expression changed.
Isabelle spoke in a harsher voice than usual.
“As the Queen of Luna and someone who upholds God’s will, I must accept my innate destiny. Commander of the Royal Knights. You go back to Luna. “It is enough for me alone to bear this harsh fate.”
I took a step.
I drew my sword.
As she watched her back disappear into the darkness, Leo clenched his fists.
“… … Damn it.”
I was desperate.
Isabel and Leo.
Neither of them knew the future that was right in front of them.
The soldiers also knew that fighting Kronos’ demons would lead directly to death, but none of them showed any signs of running away from the reality.
Queen Isabel and those who follow her.
People who pledged to sacrifice for God hoped to die doing God’s will even if it meant dying.
but.
Leo was different.
He did not follow God, but Isabel.
I blamed God.
The more you do your godly duty.
The closer we get to the truth.
This was not something humans could handle.
It might have been wiser to be grateful that the human lifespan is one hundred years and to pray that despair would not come to you while you were still alive.
Leo was just a weak human being.
Although he surrendered to reality several times while fighting Kronos’ demons, he raised his sword as Isabel disappeared into the darkness.
‘Oh God. Please save us.’
I took a step.
Following Isabel.
He also disappeared into the darkness.
maybe.
Because of this choice, you will face death.
* * *
I opened my eyes.
The connection with the World Tree was lost.
It was a strange feeling.
Memories that may have occurred in the past or may occur in the present were tangled in a complicated manner in my mind.
‘Alexander and Isabel.’
first.
Through Alexander’s conversation, I learned that he was causing chaos in Valhalla.
Valhalla was in cahoots with the Kronos Empire.
However, since they were also an empire with enormous power, the most ideal scenario for Kronos was for Valhalla to self-destruct due to civil war.
That is why the Duke of Vieto’s rebellion was brought to the fore.
Cronus, who had been destroying each country in various ways, including the central government of Cairo, Hector’s poor harvest, and Redford’s Count Rondon, this time set his sights on the Valhalla Empire.
if.
If Valhalla suffers a major blow, the balance of the continent will collapse.
Even though they claimed to be neutral, their presence had special meaning just by remaining still.
Currently, the continent is composed of three rivers.
A coalition of kingdoms following Kronos, Valhalla, and Roman Dmitri.
The structure was such that if two powers attacked each other in a pointless war, the other power had no choice but to benefit.
second.
Isabel’s disappearance was voluntary.
I don’t know what truth she reached, but Isabelle risked her life to stop some kind of plot that Kronos was planning.
Perhaps it has something to do with Mother Elf’s words.
Mother Elf mentioned the connection with the demon world in the case of Graksar, so it was necessary to investigate this.
‘If you follow Isabel’s footsteps, you may be able to find out part of the truth.’
There was a lot to do.
It was time to return to Dmitry.
however.
Roman Dmitry belatedly confirmed that the surrounding environment had changed.
As his consciousness was consumed by the flames, he was unaware of any changes he had made.
That wasn’t all.
Let’s look back.
“Savior of Arcadia. Please accept the loyalty of our elf clan!”
“Accept my loyalty!”
Thousands of elves.
They all knelt down and bowed their heads.
* * *
The time when Roman Dmitry was connected to the World Tree.
The elves were in an uproar.
Due to the tremendous change caused by the World Tree, they all flocked together and asked Tersha.
“What the hell is going on?!”
“… … I don’t know why either. The moment the benefactor touched the World Tree, a huge fire broke out and the World Tree began to melt. What is certain is that the change is due to the benefactor.”
I was shocked.
Regeneration of the World Tree.
It was the elves’ earnest wish.
What they were trying to achieve somehow became a reality through a completely unexpected person.
yet.
Mother Elf has arrived.
She looked at the World Tree and Roman Dmitry burning in flames, and could not hide her surprise.
“… … Controlling the flames of fire.”
It was clear.
Flames originating from Roman Dmitry.
It was a lump of fire magic.
Roman Dmitry met the dwarves in the underworld, and the brown rock leading them said that the lump of fire might be the clue to melting the World Tree.
However, I did not dare to approach due to the uncontrollable heat.
The mass of fire magic had been forgotten in their memories, but its intense power was now manifested before their eyes.
suddenly.
Mother Elf recalled the moment she was connected to the World Tree.
When she first encountered Roman Dmitry’s presence, she felt an indescribably powerful feeling.
“iced coffee.”
I was thrilled.
It was certain.
A being that slaughtered orcs.
He was a savior.
A being that will do more than simply defeat orcs.
Things have changed.
Mother Elf turned back and said.
“All elves, listen! Our benefactor, Roman Dmitri, saved us from the vicious Orcs and even revived the World Tree. He proved himself to be the one who will save this world. I, Gaiar, your mother, believe that the future of the elves belongs to Roman Dmitri!”
I raised my voice.
At Mother Elf’s words, the elves flocked.
“Follow Roman Dmitri! Dedicate yourself to Him! His will will be the future we hope for!”
I bowed.
Everyone looked at Roman Dmitry in unison.
Time passed.
In a blazing fire.
Roman Dmitry did not move.
Although he felt it was only a moment, the sun set and rose again, illuminating the world.
It wasn’t until the next day.
Roman Dmitry opened his eyes.
That moment.
Mother Elf knelt down first, then lowered her head and shouted.
“Savior of Arcadia. Please accept the loyalty of our elf clan!”
“Accept my loyalty!”
Thousands of elves followed her in worship, one after another.
A clan of purity.
Beings who do not follow the will of anyone except God cried out for loyalty to one human being.
