Chapter 155 – Fragmentation (5)

[Curse of the Demon King. It’s actually just a façade with only a name. It is not because of the curse that they run out of control, but that the curse manifests itself to those who run out of control]

“There is no such thing as a curse, but are you saying that the inhabitants of the continent who fought together have become so corrupted?”

[Corruption? I don’t even call that a fall]

Belagas snorted at Ersilla’s words. As if looking for the right words, he flicked at what he saw with his hands and nodded his head as if he knew.

[Change paper. There is no such thing as right or wrong in that direction. Who will be the winner and who will be the loser… Will appear over time]

“Then, even if I kill you here, the curse won’t go away.”

[Yes. Your enemy is not me or the demon king, who are mere remnants of the past. You yourself, who are starting to enter an age of turbulence, the inhabitants of the continent living with you, and the other demons sharpening their swords in the Demon Realm…They are them]

His voice was light, as if he was genuinely happy. On the other hand, Ercilla’s now exhausted body became infinitely heavy, and finally her knees bent and she fell to the ground.

[Ah, the forest clan, the biggest axis of the elves, is collapsing like this. The old world tree that has reached the end of its lifespan burns away, and the winds of protection truly become a single wind and scatter, so who will take care of you who are weak now? A forest that has lost its world capital and heroes will be trampled on by those full of greed who will increase their power, and the elves will be pushed out of the competition]

He was overjoyed, considering Ersilla the last of the forest clan to perish. In the first place, he is a demon who wants chaos.

When Ersilla, who had been imprisoned by the force of the storm, died, he just had to run away in the body of another host that was common in this world.

“I said it at the beginning too. I, of course, you were just being used.”

[…What?]

However, his expectations were wrong. It was because, terrifyingly before Erscilla’s words were finished, a thunderbolt that flew from behind her penetrated her body.

The crackling electric shock exploded and disorganized his body all at once.

[Hey, is that the elf rumored to be Eden?]

I wonder if it is a lie to say that he is nothing more than a parasite. However, in the meantime, when he saw Serenian keeping his mouth shut, he did not lose his laugh.

[You can clearly see the seeds. Ersilla, the seed of a new hero to succeed you… But isn’t that all? What can that young thing do alone?]

After that laugh, he completely disappeared. Serenian lowered his bow when he saw the body of Remit, whose upper body had disappeared, and Ersilla’s storm subsided at the same time.

“Just now, the devil talked and searched around, but I’m sure the world tree couldn’t have done it without thinking. Of course you have the answer, right? What is it? Exiled, what did you see there?”

“…There is another world tree there.”

Serenian slowly approached Ersilla and answered her question. A back pain that has not been felt since the moment I arrived here.

It became clear that the World Tree of the Great Forest called him on purpose, and at the same time Ersilla’s words gained credibility.

“And there are gods who look after us.”

Serenian began to tell her about her Eden. Perhaps because Ercilla’s condition was so pitiful, she did not hesitate to hide anything.

In fact, Ersilla did not show any reaction even after hearing the story, which was so surprising.

“This is great luck. Seeing you, I think I know why such luck didn’t come to me.”

“What?”

“That devil just said that. The demon king’s legacy, scattered in fragments, landed on all the world. In fact, the fragment appears from the person who has been stained. Destruction, slaughter, greed… If I had been given the luck you had, would I have been able to avoid being stained by it?”

She reflected on herself. About what he would do with it if he were given a young world tree and the power of a god who fully supported him.

Having experienced the world through a great war, she expected that she would become like those who are amplifying the war of power and nerves on the continent.

In fact, as expected, she only wanted the prosperity and strength of the forest clan, but since she didn’t get it, she was able to avoid being stained in the opposite way.

“Everyone, you have already done something shameless to us. Didn’t you get wet? From my point of view, you are also stained. There must have been a better way!”

“I don’t deny that I was wrong, so now it’s your turn. It’s a terrible way to run or dodge and you’ll die and hurt others, not you.”

Serenian resisted even more fiercely, and when Ersilla, who knew how to run amok, died like this, she felt confused and her voice trembled. Indeed, she was calm even in her own death.

“The future of your people is up to you. A new forest too. A new world capital.”

With Ersilla’s death, the Great Forest’s world tree completely burned away and disappeared.

However, before the eyes of the elves in great despair, the first generational change of the World Tree, which has not been handed down even in the history left by their ancestors, unfolded. A new sapling the size of an ordinary tree appeared in the place where the world tree had disappeared after being transformed into countless lights.

What that means is clear. The elves of the Great Forest now have to take care of and protect that small, young World Tree, just as their ancestors first settled here and grew up.

However, with the neighbors already showing their teeth towards the Great Forest, the elves of the Great Forest needed a new path different from the one they had taken so far to protect the World Tree and themselves.

And that path already exists.

“No.”

The path itself, Serenian, grabbed Ersilla’s body as it collapsed. The thought came to her impulsively that she was her enemy and that she must now save her. She actually could have saved her if she was taken to the World Tree of Eden.

“This child will be more helpful to you than I am.”

But Ersilla refused. Instead of sustaining her life with her own last strength, like her world tree, she encased her wind spirit in her necklace that was worn around her neck and handed it to Serenian.

“Say hello to Pia…And watch out for Merah. Because she must have already been stained.”

Erscilla’s breath stopped after she finally spoke her last words. The high elves and Lurie, who had barely recovered her body, approached her, but no one could speak to Serenian first, who had captured Ercilla’s body.

“If getting to know each other with the Great War as an opportunity, increasing exchanges, resulting in greed, and invading the surroundings is the same thing as being stained with the fragments of the demon king… Maybe it’s not a big deal.”

“What do you mean? How the hell could that be such a trivial thing?”

“Because the other world I know has already been through?”

I tried to reassure her with a deliberately brighter smile.

Serenian, who seems to be in a weak state of mind and body because of the stormy things that happened in her short time, came to visit me as soon as she returned to Eden. Because I had to stabilize it.

“Of course it is terrible. The world could be destroyed by that quarrel that will continue forever… But I wanted to say that it is not a disaster that can not be overcome, even on the surface. Maybe we can overcome and develop further.”

“The Great Forest, which has not yet been properly managed, is in danger even at this moment. But I can’t leave the saplings of the world tree there, nor the people there. You have to help them.”

“Help. Heaven will not forsake you.”

As Elsilla died and even the world tree returned to a sapling, the great forest is now extremely vulnerable.

Serenian could not abandon his people in the Great Forest. Probably other elves as well. I couldn’t see the world properly, but I was able to help them enough.

The Central Council, which was trying to join hands with humans, was completely disintegrated due to the humans’ premature plotting and Ersilla’s death, so Eden was no longer hostile to the Great Forest. Rather, it can become a close alliance more than anything else.

“Ersilla predicted that if she had her own room, she would have been stained. As he leads his army to invade other places. What if I do that?”

“Building up your strength is necessary to protect your body, so don’t hesitate, and don’t worry too much about getting drunk with it. Uh..Because the sky is watching over everything.”

I gave her a reassuring word as she naturally came into her arms and told her what she was thinking. Although in fact if she is outside of her there is nothing I can do.

“Can you really stop me? Stay by my side forever.”

“…I will.”

Of course, I will not leave the flower pot in the future. Although I flinched at the word forever, I couldn’t bear to say negative words in front of her now.
