Chapter 177

Episode 177. vs Hougen

The elves surrounding me were armed and looking at me with confused faces.



And between them, Hougen and Hoir could be seen.

“wait for a sec! That!”

“It’s Seir’s corpse!”

The excited elves aimed their bows as if they saw the Seir I was carrying on my shoulder.

“Are you all crazy? Are you planning to shoot an arrow at the world tree now?”

“Everyone calm down! Humans come down.”

While they were arguing among themselves, the stem of the world tree slowly lowered me to the ground.

It took me quite a while to deal with the gluttony pups, but I didn’t expect that they would come in droves in the meantime.

“The World Tree will take you... ... . I guess you were right.”

Hoir murmured as he approached me.

Have you already heard the story from Hugen?

“Could you hand over Seir’s body?”

“Can I check for a moment before that?”

“check?”

“I want to see if there is any evidence that this person is a traitor.”

The elves, who were already excited by my words, burst into indignation.

“How dare you be a human subject!”

“Is it not enough to kill Seir-nim, to dishonor you!”

Hoir also hardened his complexion, as if he was not at ease.

“May I check it out? Of course, I will take steps so that you can watch too.”

“I will hand it over to you if you promise to check it right now. If I can’t do that, I’m in trouble.”

I couldn’t give up either.

After all, I am the benefactor of the elves.

The more I thought about such actions and reactions, the more I was offended, but first I wanted to prove my innocence in front of everyone.

‘Without proof... ... Well, it doesn’t matter.’

At my suggestion, Hoir’s complexion darkened even more.

Maybe because he thought he was insulting the deceased?

Would he have reacted like that if he had known that Seir really wanted to destroy Rastilia?

“You are too cheeky.”

At that moment, Hougen, who was still, stepped out.

“I don’t know what the World Tree thinks of you, but the fact that you killed an elf doesn’t change.”

“Even if that elf is a traitor?”

“Yes.”

“So what?”

In the end, I couldn’t speak well either.

That Hougen bastard wanted me to turn his face into a bowl of jelly no matter what.

“A cheeky human bastard.”

“Don’t make personal attacks, so what? There shouldn’t be a purpose to catch the pod like this. Could it be that you are actually a traitor belonging to the scene?”

“Yeah man!”

“Are you angry that you tried to kill the World Tree but failed in the end? To put it bluntly, I am the benefactor who saved Rastilia. You guys don’t seem to realize it right now, but if I hadn’t come here after receiving an oracle, within a few years the World Tree would have died and Rastilia would have been destroyed.”

He deliberately did not say specifically that the World Tree had fallen.

Uncovering too much detail tends to arouse suspicion.

It wasn’t that I was wrong.

In the end, if I hadn’t intervened, it was an established fact that Rastilia would perish.

“As proof, the World Tree took me directly. and... ... .”

As a trump card, I took out something I had kept in my chest.

“What is that?”

“Fruit? The fruit glows... ... .”

I held up the fruit of the world tree and showed it.

The fruit, smaller than a fist, was small compared to the size of the World Tree, but it radiated magical energy.

“You can’t stand it, that’s... ... !”

Hoir seemed to have noticed what this was.

“It is the fruit of the World Tree.”

“What!”

“I can’t... ... .”

“Don’t lie! How could a human being get the fruit of the World Tree!”

An enthusiastic response.

Along with that, I also took out the leaf the World Tree gave me.

The twigs were cumbersome, so I put them in Nickel’s bag, but I kept these two in my pocket just in case.

“It is a gift that the world tree acknowledged me as a benefactor and gave me. Still can’t believe it? I am your savior, you ungrateful bastards.”

The surroundings are frozen.

Everyone was speechless and just stared at the leaves and fruits of the World Tree in my hand.

At that time, it felt like living somewhere.

Kang!

In an instant, he blocked Hougen’s sword.

“Ugh. Looks like a traitor right? Did you decide to reveal your identity?”

“They are too precious to be in human hands. If you return it quietly, I will spare your life.”

“Don’t fuck with me, you’re bald.”

To be honest, I’m confused as well.

Are you really from the Fugendo Sin?

Why do you think it comes out like this?

In the game, even if they weren’t colleagues, they would have been allies.

Is it just the elf’s stubbornness?

“Hugen! stop!”

Even me, who was at close range, suffered damage, but that didn’t matter anyway.

‘You should know that you won’t be safe if you touch me.’

I am the mad dog in this area.

Wow!

Push Yi Profit.

Kriebmacher’s breath splashed and acidic fluid touched my body.

The flesh melted into it, but I didn’t care and got up for now.

“What the hell was that?”

“Elder Hugen!”

The cries of the elves lodged in my ears where I could hear tinnitus.

How was your opponent?

“Kuhm.”

I could see Hougen struggling to stand up in the distance.

isn’t it dead Well, that bastard, Biggie also plays a role in protecting the body.

But the look was pretty good.

The armor made of leaf-shaped auras had all but disappeared, and only one pair of swords remained in shape.

‘But this... ... I think I lost.’

It’s a pity, but the dongguijinjin a while ago did a lot of damage to me too.

‘I lost, but I have undead.’

Krivmacher won’t be able to fully use his strength because he shot his breath, but the rest will suffice.

Under the premise that Hoir is watching.

‘It can’t be.’

Now, Hoir will come out soon.

I’ve been fighting and fighting like this.

“Fuck.”

but something is embarrassing

Guys like these dogs.

I certainly didn’t do it for the elves, but it was unfair.

If you live thanks to them, you should be grateful. Instead of grace, you are paying back with enemies.

“What do we do?”

“If what he said is true, he is our benefactor.”

“But what about Elder Hugen?”

“Shouldn’t we stop fighting for now?”

The fight happened so quickly that the elves hesitated because the accident couldn’t catch up.

Meanwhile, Hoir stood between me and Hougen.

“Stop both. There is absolutely no reason to fight each other.”

“You mean that bald head tried to kill me and I had to surrender my head? Didn’t you dry it right away?”

When I said it sarcastically, Hoir bowed down with a puzzled expression.

“It is my negligence. I really didn’t know that Hougen would do such a thing.”

“Is that true? Actually, didn’t you think that you should kill me and take the fruit?”

“I swear to Tapio, I never thought of that. What you received from the World Tree is yours. I will apologize on your behalf.”

... ... I don’t like it a little bit, but should I accept reconciliation for now?

There was no point in fighting any longer.

The original purpose was also achieved.

‘Hugen’s son is handsome.’

I decided to give it a shot somehow, but it hit me right.

You should be satisfied with this.

“Whoever wants to end it.”

Then, a completely unexpected voice was heard.

“This is a human!”

“A human again?”

“How did you come?”

The owner of the voice that suddenly appeared was none other than Maximin Cronell.

He seemed to have come alone, and he was walking around with only a sword strapped to his back.

“Who are you?”

Hoir pulled out his sword with a wary expression.

“Put the sword in. before killing me.”

Towards Hoir, Maximin muttered with a languid expression.

“Maximin. How are you?”

“You came out to meet me because it was too late.”

He spoke bluntly, and soon smiled, which is rare.

“It was quite a fight.”

“Did you see everything?”

“okay.”

No, I’ll help you with that... ... .

Still, when Maximin appeared, he couldn’t be more reassured.

“If you want to apologize, pay the price properly.”

Maximin looked at Hugen who was standing quietly this time and said.

“Maximin Cronell... ... .”

“Stubborn elf. You are still the same. What are you going to do?”

“What will I pay for?”

You two knew each other.

Hoir didn’t seem to know, but had he ever met Hugen?

“hmm. Cut off one arm first.”

... ... what?

Mr. Maximin?

“Let’s negotiate after that.”
