He spends his time sitting in a cave manipulating mana on the palm of his hand.

All the seeds have now been thrown. You’ll just have to wait.

“What are you doing?”

“Didn’t you talk to a madman?”

“… … .”

Alexios looks at me like he’s pissed at me with just that.

Let’s see, let’s see, this bastard keeps messing with people’s personalities.

“why.”

“What are you doing?”

“Can’t you see? You’re practicing magic manipulation.”

I’m still weak

I have a lot of means, but my skills to deal with them are still far away.

“… … He’s a busy guy.”

Even as Alexios said that, he got up from his seat and took up Poomsae.

Are you even impressed with me for working hard in this situation?

Well, good is good. There is nothing wrong with an ally becoming stronger.

I’m still not sure if this guy is an ally, but… … .

“Oz.”

“What else?”

It was when I was practicing for such a long time.

Maybe Alexios was bored, so he started talking to me again.

“Did you kill the goblins?”

“no.”

“yes… … .”

Alexios’ question is not whether I am a murderer.

It is said that if I had seriously attacked the opponent, I would have killed at least one of them. So maybe there really was a purpose.

You must be thinking that way.

he’s a funny guy He said he was crazy earlier, but now that he thinks about it, he must have been reasonable.

“It’s not wrong to say that it went according to plan. Because it really went according to plan.”

“What are your plans?”

“I planted doubts on them. What’s happening in the Commonwealth lately. do you know That the forest itself is turning into a youkai.”

“… … What do you know?”

“Yes, it’s been a while since I figured out the cause. But just because I say it, will you be willing to believe me?”

Yes, it was all planned.

Because they were looking down on me. Since the trial began, they have not been wary of me.

At the point when I stood in the courthouse, the suspicions might have been cleared to some extent, but at the same time, the fact that I wasn’t the Janus who ran rampant in the forest made me less interested.

That’s why it was necessary to show them how much my strength was.

At the very least, they should have plausible doubts about what I said.

Only then, when So-yeon came, when she realized that this was not [Yowang’s] trick. You can ask me for cooperation.

“Apart from that, how many goblins did you mess with?”

“under… … ! All of those cheeky bastards, except for B-Hyung and some, broke their limbs. You made me pay for looking down on me.”

“No, then it’s not going as planned. You madman.”

I’ll admit I was a little rowdy.

As a result, it is also true that he was taken to a prison rather than a drawing room… … . I was a bit harsh.

It’s as planned though.

Anyway, it’s all according to plan.

“If you live like that, aren’t you ashamed to see Arietta’s face?”

“… … .”

This bastard is cowardly attacking with facts again… … .

* * *

After throwing Oz into prison, Bihyung returned to the judge.

Because I had to backtrack.

Originally, there was no reason for him, who was the chief, to take care of the judge. Because it hurt his face.

However, there were not many goblins left who could walk on two legs.

Oz ran pretty wildly.

“Ah, Doo-ryeong. You are here.”

“Yes, sister-in-law. How are the kids?”

“… … Cheongmang was particularly focused. Did you notice that I am not a child after all?”

“Did you mess with the kid that much?”

“Especially the muzzle.”

“It would be natural to handle it with the snout of the fanny called the snout.”

Bihyung nodded his head, looking at his swollen mouth.

The aspirations were a little harsh.

Still, he is a leading figure in a country, so he shouldn’t be insulted like that.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the guy who overturned the entire judge did well.

“Is that what it means to be in power? Like the boss, everyone has a strange personality.”

“What about me? I am often called exhilarating.”

“That’s not a compliment, it’s a way of saying it’s violent.”

“no… … !”

Bi-hyung shouted at the enemy who opened his eyes.

However, it was not that there was no guesswork, so I couldn’t say anything more than that.

“… … Unfortunately, in terms of personality, he’s worse than me.”

“Seeing you make excuses like that, it’s definitely similar.”

“no it’s not?”

Bihyung appealed by beating his chest as if he was unfair.

Each time, a sound like a drum beat spread around.

While the goblins trembled in fear at their overwhelming strength, Bi-hyung said with a slightly serious expression.

“If it were me, I would have just flipped everything without thinking.”

“It’s all over here too.”

“But there are no deaths in spite of this uproar, right?”

“… … .”

Jeokmae was stunned at Bihyung’s words. The informal word was right.

If Bihyung had run rampant to this extent, there would have been deaths.

But the opponent didn’t. Even in the midst of rampaging like this, I was thinking about adding or subtracting power.

Otherwise, it makes no sense that there are no deaths.

“If he was sincere, I would have been the only one standing here.”

“He… … . That strong?”

It was obviously strong.

He was a person who did not lose even when he faced the whole ＜Imae Mang-ryang (魑魅魍魎)＞.

It was only after Bihyung came out that proper suppression was possible. But I didn’t feel it was overwhelming.

That’s right, it was because he was somewhat equal with his opponent.

The balance was broken by a single point difference, and Cheongmang, a back-up support role, suffered.

After that, the formation collapsed to the point of being cool, but that was the situation that happened because the request was met.

If he hadn’t made a mistake, let alone if Baekyang, the guardian, had been with him, he would have been able to win. I thought so.

In fact, that was Oz’s limit, but Bihyung couldn’t think of it that way.

Bihyung doesn’t doubt his own eyes. It was clearly strong.

“It will be at least on the same level as me.”

Non-type is the boss.

Originally, being the head of the goblins meant the strongest being who could protect the clan.

He felt that Oz possessed the same level of power as himself.

Considering his age, it sounds like an absurd monster.

“Then why the hell… … ?”

If the opponent’s strength is the same as the non-type, if this is also added or subtracted.

There are questions that naturally follow. It is a fundamental question. Why did the other person act like that?

It’s easier to understand if it’s just an act done out of anger.

In fact, they even played pranks on them to make them angry.

However, if it is ‘Chuck’ who is angry, the story is different.

Because that means it has a purpose.

Bi-hyung answered confidently with a sinister smile at the wide-eyed Jeokmae.

“You guys should think about that from now on.”

Unfortunately, he had a bad head.

* * *

The day has passed.

According to the promise, it was Bihyung’s time to take me out today, but I was still locked up.

Well, there was no such thing as “as soon as the sun rises,” so I understand.

If I don’t take it out by lunchtime, I plan to destroy the entire cave and escape.

Right after I woke up, I practiced mana manipulation with my back against the wall, and suddenly an important fact came to mind.

“Come to think of it, I think I came to get you out.”

“… … Are you coming to that now?”

“No, what. I could have forgotten because I had a lot of work in many ways.”

“Most of it is what you did.”

“That doesn’t mean there was no work, right? I was busy anyway.”

I should have gone to the judge and told him about Alexios.

If it’s him, he should be able to clear this side story without difficulty.

Even if you leave it alone, there is a high probability that it will be resolved on its own, but this time I covet the loot.

A change in the forest… … It is called, but in fact, this is not an anomaly.

It has only come.

Inanimate objects do not become monsters.

It is just a fatal misjudgment stemming from this basic common sense.

The forest itself becomes a monster and attacks passers-by.

The root of the problem was that they approached it thinking that the cause was someone’s secret drug. What we need to see is not whether there are people who have done strange things in the forest, but the forest itself.

“Have you ever heard of the rumor that the fruit of the World Tree is a panacea?”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden? Isn’t the world tree itself like a fairy tale made up?”

It’s a sudden fire, but this guy also responds surprisingly well.

After all, staying in a cave like this would be boring.

“Dog noise. With nothing to do anyway. Skientia’s student council president is an elf, but have you ever thought that it’s credible?”

“take no interest.”

“Then how about this? Rumor has it that the World Tree has a will.”

“What… … ?”

At my words, Alexios’ eyes widen and he starts glaring at me.

Yeah, at this point, even a stupid guy like him will understand.

“It is not the forest that has become a youkai this time, but the will itself of the World Tree.”

“There is a world tree in the federation… … ?”

There is a sapling of the World Tree near ＜Goblin Forest＞. It is such a sapling that looks just like a big tree with no difference from the outside.

The world tree is a sacred tree that can be described as close to divine, but it is a different story if it has been exposed to the spirit for a long time.

The saplings of the world trees planted in the federation began to become youkai after tens or hundreds of years.

Considering that the world tree has a will, this is a natural thing that would have come someday, not an accident.

“Saplings of the World Tree are surprisingly scattered all over the place.”

I don’t know where the elves live. They are literally a mystery race. I don’t know where it came from.

However, it is often confirmed by everyone that they roam the world. Why is such a closed group wandering outside?

It’s that simple. It is to move the sapling of the world tree.

Because there is no space for seedlings to grow near the world tree that has already grown.

“Come on, Alexios. I’ll ask you again, aren’t you interested in the rumor that the fruit of the world tree is an elixir that can revive even those whose hearts have been pierced?”

In the ＜Dokkaebi Forest＞ story, the game progresses in the form of a wave.

It was a stage for hospitality for So-yeon, who possesses non-hyeong and wide-area crowd control skills that reset the skill cooldown when an opponent is defeated.

If you hold out against the trees that have become youkai that constantly flock to you, the world tree refuses to become a youkai and ends in self-destruction.

However, in that case, the purpose of obtaining fruit cannot be achieved.

If that’s the case, you have to attack the rampaging world tree itself before that happens.

Expected difficulty will be high. Nevertheless, I want the fruit of the World Tree.

“What are you thinking this time?”

“There is someone I really want to save.”

“you… … ?”

This world is now full of threats. ‘Existences’ are monsters beyond imagination.

However, the response of each country is not cool.

It is because there is an incarnation of overwhelming power that protects them.

[KP solvent]

Tiamat

As long as she is present, claiming to be the guardian of the world, no one will feel the danger of destruction.

That’s why the fact that she dies instills a deep sense of despair.

Chapter 12 of the main story.

The turning point where the atmosphere changes when Tia dies.

You can’t escape that flow.

Even if I had 100 people, I couldn’t even reach Tia’s toes. Same goes for the rest.

Even if there were Alexios, Arrieta, Justitia, Discrega, Bihyung, and many other SSR-class powerful people, they couldn’t stand Tia alone.

It is truly a Deus Ex Machina.

“If left alone, they will sacrifice themselves. Unexpectedly, there is a sense of responsibility.”

But that’s how she dies.

He gets along with the opponent’s best power and exits the stage.

I met my sister after a long time, and I must have finally found a new meaning in the midst of my lonely life.

You lose everything in one day. Leaving Spina behind, leaving behind everyone in ＜Skientia＞, he left.

“That is something I hate so much.”

I don’t know if I can save Tia with just one elixir. It is the same for [Those who challenge divinity].

There is no guarantee that it can be saved.

In the game, even though numerous clerics, including Arrieta, clung to her, she could not be saved.

Tia’s physical strength, plummeting by percentage, was too out of standard.

The level of existence was too high.

But if you can catch even a straw, shouldn’t you do your best to hold on to it?

Practicing magic to such an extent that there was almost no time to rest.

Even if it’s just about dropping a drop of water into the vast sea.

It is an extremely pessimistic and near-impossible goal, but I have no intention of staying still. will struggle

“If you are not interested in that rumor. could you help me?”

This will probably be the first ‘request’ to Alexios.

If he’s the person I think he is, I won’t turn him down.

have no choice but to believe

“Tsk… … . Because of this incident, the price of the magic tools will be counted as paid back.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Rescue the lonely absolute.

That will be the long-term goal I have to have in the future.
