EP.303 Let’s protect nature

I didn’t get hurt. Instead of poking at me, the branch hugged me warmly. It was benevolent, but firm enough not to dare to resist.

The rustle of leaves. The sound of branches hitting. A gust of wind blows through the trees. The chaotic melody of the busy yet beautiful tree fills my ears.

“This bet, Maximilien, is your victory. I believed that the Lord would not come until everyone called out, but I chose the opposite path and finally found him.”

In the meantime, I heard the cracking of trees. Looking at the source of the sound, I saw a knothole that I don’t know when it was created and was getting bigger. A dry voice flowed from the dark, deep darkness inside the tree.

“The Lord Himself has come before us. I am so overwhelmed with my convictions that I do not know what to do with myself.”

And a hand reached out from the knothole.

A long hand grabbed the knothole and spread it apart. A single human squeezed through a knothole that had been cracked like a gate.

Tree spirits are said to live in knotholes. The one-dimensional thought that there is something living there because there is a hole may have been turned into a folktale, but now the legend was reality.

If there were spirits in the world, they would have exactly the same appearance as her. An androgynous appearance that makes it difficult to even guess the gender. The green hair that came down to the floor had small leaves growing like vines. A dopo made of silk was tied with a vine and fixed. Even so, the sleeves were wide enough that even the elbows could be seen through the inside of the sleeves.

It’s already unusual enough, but most distinctive of all is the horn hanging from its head. It resembles that of a deer, but it is not the horns of a beast. It is just a twig extending from the temple.

I muttered.

“…Druid?”

There are not many Druids, but one of the most famous and powerful among them. A watcher of history who has watched all history from ancient times to the present.

agent of nature. the most beautiful beast.

…and I didn’t know it just now, but he’s the head of the lord of all things.

“It’s your belief, Navi. The undead beast meets the king of men.”

The ancient druid, Navi.

After she adjusted the hem of her dress, she knelt down in front of me and bowed her head. There was a bean and soft head banging sound.

uh hmm

It’s just embarrassing. Anyone would feel the same way if someone jumped out of a tree and bowed to me.

And above all, the problem was that the opponent was a strong man with absolute power beyond a superman. Just like the leader, Maximilien was treated as something like that.

It’s strange. I thought Maximilien called for backup. I never thought I would reach here from another country in a matter of hours. What is it, where are all our people? Won’t you join us soon?

Is it better not to join?

I will lose even if I join anyway.

chill down the spine Nevida is an irresistible force. A purely individual power capable of destroying a country alone… an existence more powerful than Tyr.

And the bigger problem is that there is a clear purpose to do me. I hid the skewer behind me and said with a smile.

“Uh, nice to meet you. I am called Hughes, the king of humans in this generation. Please raise your head.”

At my words, Navida suddenly raised her head. In his oak-colored eyes, there was an infinite feeling for me. Envy, expectation, longing and… desire.

If you don’t have feelings at all, you can build a new one from the bottom up. Just like I built a relationship with Tyr.

However, if the opponent has such a clear business to the ‘human king’, persuasion is impossible. I looked into his eyes and was convinced of that.

Fortunately, that monster is the kind that worships the human king the most among the lords of all creation who seek the human king. Didn’t you slap your forehead to say hello to me just a little while ago? It won’t kill or harm me.

hmm. Shall I stab you once? I calmly ordered.

“I have business with Maximilien, so can you step aside for a moment?”

Then Navida hit her head on the floor again. While I was startled, Navida put her face on the floor and spoke loudly.

“I apologize. Since the unsavory conviction lost the bet with him, he must pay the price for him. Please contact me.”

You mean don’t kill me? But am I the king of men? He said solemnly, hoping that the king’s authority would be contained there.

“No, because I am the real human king. Don’t you believe it?”

“You are the only one, so how dare you doubt your convictions?”

“The human king commands it. Do you want me to get out of the way?”

“I apologize.”

Navida just said that she was sorry and banged her head again. It seems they just don’t want to listen to me.

what. Are you looking at me like this and exalting me because I am the king of humans? If you’re not going to listen, why are you being polite and treating me like a king?

Can not help it. While Navida was banging her head, I secretly grabbed the skewer again. Maximilien’s thoughts have stopped and he is dying, but his opponent is an ancient druid who is good at medicine and medicine. I don’t know how I can save him if I take him like this.

just one room. It’s about to die anyway You only need to deliver the final blow.

“I won’t talk too long. It’s the last one. Get out of the way.”

“I apologize.”

I counted the numbers inside and kicked the ground just as Navida was banging her head. tak bean. The sound overlapped and my body jumped over Nevida’s head. Aiming the skewer, he ran towards Maximilien. I stretched out my hand toward him, who had fallen as if dead

.

Branches and vines hold me. tree that sprouted. It was so static that I didn’t even know it was growing until it came into being. When I noticed, my body hung dangling in the air as if caught in a spider’s web.

…I read ‘Thought’. I can’t escape it.

I didn’t control the tree. It was to ‘protect’ Maximilien. However, the tree arbitrarily supported its will and hung me to isolate Maximilien and me.

Totally different from Maximilien. He designed a mechanical device with cogwheels and controlled and moved them one by one. All actions were conscious.

In contrast, Navida has a will. But the trees know and follow her will. So even if you read your thoughts, you don’t know what the outcome will be.

Do trees take care of themselves? What is this…!

Then, Navida lowered her head and said.

“If the Lord had been perfect, he would not have allowed even the slightest rebellion. one. The evil woman’s chains are still in good shape. I lament the still long way to go.”

Navida let out a deep sigh. Nevida exhaled for so long that she was worried that she might die from lack of breathing.

In the meantime, the place where she banged her head caught my eye. There, instead of blood, soft green buds sprouted profusely like pillows.

…look at the shortcut. If that’s the case, why did you bang your head? Is this a political act for show?

“Shin (臣) did not seek out Im. The king of men should not be sought, and only if the people hope for it will truly come. Just Maximilian. he has challenged You did it. it has been done Sosin honors that will and will help him.”

My body moved with Navida. No, to be precise, the tree on which I was hanging slowly moved to the side. The tree opened its knots and pulled its vines as if they were going to eat me.

what. If it stays like this, I’ll go inside. I tried to struggle, but every time I did, my body was gradually buried under the vines.

It’s dangerous this way. Navida originally had no intention of taking me. But Maximilien will try this and that with me and now Navida will help Maximilien!

The king of sin and maybe die before that!

“Wait. I won’t kill Maximilien, so can you let this go?”

“God will not know. My dear, come here.”

“Listen to me!”

“I apologize.”

shit. What a bunch of psychopaths! I cried out desperately.

“Someone save me!”

It was then. Navida noticed something and gave a small smile. Meteors shine in her eyes. From afar, something fell in the wind, giving off unburned magic light.

1 second to fall. Nevida held a branch against him. A sharp blade aimed at Nevida approached with a familiar voice.

“Cheon-ae-ae-ae-aeng!”

The sky split.

The hem of the dress fluttered in front of me, and the happy figure from the back fell in front of me like lightning. Branches and leaves fall half a beat late against a fragmented background. Thanks to the cutting of the vine and the vine, my body was also freed.

As I fell, I saw clearly.

The sight of a small twig rising against a falling cherry tree surrounded by the wind and colliding with it.

It is the heavenly sword. The blade forged in the compressed space splits even rocks. It’s normal to cut off even the arm holding that ordinary tree branch. Even Nevida’s body is worth splitting like firewood.

But the branches are not cut.

Rather than cracking, new branches and leaves are growing at the part that touches the angel. It looks as if it has eaten a thousand cherry blossoms and grows.

Even though the blow went back to nothing, the regressor calmly snorted.

“joy! I managed to stop it! Then how about this!”

confident expression. Overwhelming belief in one’s own strength. and the power behind it.

The regressor smiled defiantly and swung the cherry blossom. A quick and light sword attack aimed at Nevida. But Nevida didn’t even dodge. The twigs and leaves extending from the tree branches take care of themselves and block the sword attack.

“It’s quite good!”

The regressor shouted confidently and somersaulted backwards. Nevida also took a step back and swept the ground with her foot. Leaves on the ground rise slowly in the wind. The leaves seemed to protect her with a mysterious power.

nevida said.

“…I heard that there is a child who goes around destroying ‘roots’ as a keepsake of a demon. You are what Maximilien said.”

“under! That’s me. So what are you going to do?”

Oh, also a regressor. It’s amazing how he doesn’t hesitate even against the ancient Druid. Is this the true face of a regressor who spares no life…

‘Aaaaaaaa! It’s a big deal! It’s a big deal! Why why is that thing already here? There’s still a long way until you appear! no. I can’t win!’

no This is the truth.

I nodded as I read my thoughts.
