The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

76 – You must never provoke the gamers (7)

The cooldown is still about 40 minutes.

That means I can get 40 minutes without even using a time stop. It means that we must avoid the attack of that polluted world tree. A contaminated root that had missed by a piece of paper struck the poor ground.

The ground shook as if there was an earthquake, and there was a sound like something melting. When I turned my head, I saw the ground melted by the terrible miasma. Oops, I need to correct that.

I don’t use a time stop for the next 40 minutes. If you get hit by one, you have to avoid the instant kill that goes to the goal. It’s exactly one hour, but after that the time stop comes back.

You must be very excited. I think it will turn into soybean paste. Talking nonsense that I don’t know what I’m talking about. I barely evaded the approaching attack of the contaminated World Tree.

The attack itself was simple, so it wasn’t difficult to dodge. The problem is, every time I dodge an attack, I feel scared and go crazy. Of course. Even if you get hit with one of those, it’s an instant death.

But there is no escape from this situation. It was because Cluna had already started from behind. It cannot be unlocked once entered. In the meantime, it becomes defenseless.

But if I run away from here. Of course, the next threat, Cluna, will be attacked. No matter how much Cluna is, if he gets hit by an attack like that in a defenseless state.

In the worst case, it could have killed you instantly. When that happens, everything is over. I don’t have the confidence to properly lead the Royal Knights in that state. In other words, I had to endure somehow.

Boom!!!

Once again, an instant kill machine was inserted right next to it. What if that hits you? Are there any bones left? No, it will all melt down to the bones. The pain of melting away the flesh and muscles must be tremendous…….

Boom! Bang! Bang!

“f*ck!!!!”

I was in so much urgency that I couldn’t even utter the words of saving people. Suddenly, the attacks began to intensify. It was also very difficult to avoid. I barely evaded the attack.

That’s because they rolled across the ground. I couldn’t afford to avoid it gracefully. I glanced at Cluna. Cluna still closes her eyes and focuses on her magic.

In other words, I don’t care what I do here. Then there was nothing more to be desired. An open lethal weapon. It’s time to show off Naryotagon’s power.

“Huff! Ha! Huh!!”

He’s rolling on the ground in sync with his abdominal breathing. The feeling of the cold soil was surprisingly not bad. It would have been better if it hadn’t been for the roots of the world tree that hit me right next to me.

I decided to ignore the crackling sound of the burning ground. I thought I would just keep rolling like this. Quit soon after It was because his back was stamped on a stone root.

A pain beyond imagination hit my back. I barely got up while gagging. And, in the place where it would have been if it had kept rolling on the ground, roots soon sprang up.

“……Ugh.”

If it kept rolling. Perhaps, by now, I would have become the World Tree’s special grilled skewers. When I imagined that, I immediately felt nauseated. But you can’t stay still.

It was because of the roots of the World Tree that were targeting me right now. I frowned. Could it be that you can only attack with the root? No, there must be another way.

At the time I was thinking about that. I could barely see The branches of the world tree are stretching towards me. Only then did I realize Until now, the World Tree was not a power.

The remainder of the battle with Cluna consumed a lot of strength. The only attacker left was the root. And I just barely recovered the eggplant part. In other words, the attack will increase from now on.

“f*cked.”

If the root is whipped like a whip. The branch came sharp like a sharp spear. I’m not sure, but maybe that branch is poisonous too. However, the poison didn’t seem that strong.

Maybe it’s because the part has just been regenerated. That means that the poison that dwells in its roots is the poison that the World Tree has accumulated up until now. Is there such a poison here?

Could this be the work of demons? I thought about that for a moment, but then I realized that it was nonsense. If the demons had done this, they would have intervened long ago.

However, the demons were still standing by and not intervening in the elven forest. That means that the demons did not directly intervene. If so, there must be some other reason.

“What?!”

A branch of the world tree was pulled out like a dagger and flew at me. It was so fast that I couldn’t even react. The only time I recognized it was when a branch of the world tree pricked my shoulder.

Blood splattered all around. I hurriedly tried to stop the bleeding with the method of hemostasis I learned from Captain Yuren. Even so, the blood continued to come out without stopping, staining the bandage that tied the wound red.

The blood doesn’t stop. I don’t know if it’s the effect of the branches of the world tree, or the effect of the poison in the branches. But anyway, it’s dangerous to continue to bleed like this. You will die from excessive blood loss.

“Damn it.”

First of all, to keep the blood out as much as possible. The affected part was tied as tightly as possible. It felt like the blood didn’t work, but rather than dying from excessive blood loss. Rather, this would be much better.

We have about 10 minutes left. But, is it because too much blood has been shed? My mind was dizzy. Still, I’ve endured a lot now. After 10 minutes, the cooldown is finally gone.

That was the time when I was thinking about that. I felt something ominous. Why is the world tree attacking only me? The biggest threat here isn’t me, is it Cluna?

Could all this be a smoke screen?

Crazed to that point, I instinctively turned my head. There was Cluna. It’s a very far distance from me. And, the surroundings were quiet from a while ago.

Yes.

The World Tree deliberately pretended to attack me and kept me away from it. Anyway, even if you attack Cluna. That I can’t protect And now, the world tree is moving.

Looking at the roots falling over her head.

I gritted my teeth.

Now I had no choice but to use it.

Time acceleration.

* * *

It was hundreds of years ago that I learned the identity of the World Tree. From the elder of the elves in the past. He took over the watchman’s mission of protecting the World Tree and offering sacrifices.

The elders sacrificed themselves. The World Tree is not an elf, he accepts no sacrifices. Does it remember even a little the memory of the World Tree, which was nature itself in the past?

Or is it mocking his followers? I still don’t know the answer. But, now I know. That sacrifice is no longer acceptable. So, I made a claim before.

Unfortunately, it was not accepted. The reason was that it would be difficult to maintain this forest without the world tree. By sacrificing elves with short lifespans, they enriched the forest.

[I’m not dying. Become one with the world tree and protect the forest.]

If only I knew the meaning of watchman. There was no way he could have become a watchman. Despite despairing at the cold reality, Cluna did not give up. Destroy the World Tree thoroughly.

Only, that purpose remained.

If she hadn’t ventured with her first hero. Maybe she didn’t think differently than the other elves. However, Cluna has had many adventures so far.

Although, there are no comrades left by her side now. The realization, knowledge, and experience she gained at that time still remain. And the realization I gained as an adventurer speaks directly.

If there is something that can only be gained through sacrifice. It’s not like it didn’t exist in the first place. That thought became one of the decisive reasons why she wanted to destroy the World Tree.

Can elves survive without a world tree?

No.

As long as the elves manage it, the forest can continue its life. It’s just that what I’ve done so far remains in the name of tradition. Just tightening our leashes.

Of course, problems can arise when the world tree disappears. But will you continue to offer the sacrifices you have made so far? Even the cycle of offerings has accelerated significantly in recent years.

In the end, there aren’t many elders left. The elders reached a point where they sacrificed the watchmen because they wanted to survive. So, let’s rather annihilate the World Tree here.

To be honest, I didn’t think it would be possible.

Especially losing a family member. While exhausted from the war with the demons. She thought she would rather her daughter survive. In a way, it must have been that I gave up without realizing it.

Before long, Cluna opened her eyes. The figure of a man easily cutting off the roots of the world tree that had approached her was caught in her eyes. He was the one who gave me hope and showed me the way to go.

Is it just a whim to see the first hero from his back?

No, it’s not because of my mood.

After that, the leader easily protected himself from the attacks of the World Tree. So, now it’s my turn A magic that has been honed and polished for hundreds of years, just for today.

Giant woodcutter.
