Graxxar (5)

It was a sudden situation.

Seeing the flames from Roman Dmitry winding around the World Tree, Tersha was startled and tried to stop it.

By the way.

stand tall.

stopped walking.

Something was strange.

" What is this?"

Hwareuk.

gurgling rumbling.

It was an indescribable scene.

Tersha felt the heat that almost melted her body just by approaching it, but Roman Dmitry and the World Tree showed nothing but a burning fire.

I blinked my eyes several times.

It was clearly present in the middle of the flames, but it didn't feel hot, but it didn't seem to burn anywhere.

It was unrealistic.

In a situation that went against the providence of nature, Tersha looked at the situation in a daze.

That was then.

dripping, dripping.

A drop of water fell from the world tree.

At first, I didn't understand the situation.

When he raised his head late and looked up at the top, the white frozen parts began to melt and were dripping water droplets.

It was a scene that could not be explained by the common sense of the elves.

The world tree is an entity with a substance based on the energy of wood, but that does not mean that the general phenomenon that people know does not apply.

The reason the World Tree froze is not simply because of the cold.

The chill from the dimensional rift gnawed at the vitality, and as a result, the world tree began to freeze.

blast furnace.

This was impossible.

I couldn't understand why the fire didn't burn, and the fire melted the frozen parts.

Hwareuk.

rumbling rumble.

The fire grew stronger.

As the world tree gradually regained its original color, the surroundings changed as if assimilated to it.

sarr.

The light spread out.

Green leaves grew on the bare branches, and as the snow-covered ground melted, the grass that had been hidden under the ground raised its head.

The strong winds also decreased. Even the snow that had been falling profusely seemed to subside as much as in the realm of the elves.

It was the influence of the world tree that Tersha had never experienced.

He only regained some of his vitality, but the power from the World Tree changed the surroundings.

could not dry

No, there was no reason to dry it.

I can't understand what was going on, but Roman Dmitry was achieving the world tree that the elves longed for.

No oracles, no prophecies. I have never been told of this situation.

At the miracle that appeared before her eyes, all Tersha could do was watch.

That moment.

Hwareuk.

rumbling rumble.

Roman Dmitry's consciousness was sucked into the flames somewhere.

* * *

It was a strange feeling.

Roman Dmitry was watching what was happening in a certain space with only consciousness.

"Report the situation."

dark space.

said the one sitting at the top.

In front of him were two men kneeling, their faces invisible in the darkness.

One went first.

"With the incident of Roman Dmitry as a starting point, the Duke of Vieto and other powerful people from the past began to rise. What they want is the romance of Valhalla. In a situation in which Valhalla, who once put her value as a warrior first, is outright cowardly, the Duke of Vieto is coming to the fore and gathering the people. The public is on their side. If you push the situation a little bit more, it will escalate into a civil war in an instant."

As he said.

There was war in Valhalla.

People from all over Valhalla complained about the Emperor Valhalla.

OK.

someone else said

"Emperor Valhalla is taking this situation seriously. Instead of listening to the masses, they are gathering troops and suppressing them with force. Most of Valhalla's power is under the Emperor's control. If he orders the rebellion to be suppressed, Valhalla will face irreversible calamity."

"Puhaha."

The presence of the headmaster burst into laughter.

It was fun.

The way he turned around made him happy.

face forward.

His face, which was slightly exposed, had the appearance of 'Alexander' that Roman Dmitry remembered.

"Our plan is progressing steadily without a single deviation. Variables due to Dmitry are trivial things that don't even deserve to be described as variables when we achieve our wishes. On the contrary, it gave me the opportunity to move ahead with what I had planned for a long time. agitate people motivate people The moment Valhalla is engulfed in war, we will be able to advance the moment we hoped for."

quiver.

leaned over

The moment Alexander was about to say more, the space began to distort.

squishy.

Things have changed.

This time it was a different space.

A woman with a wretched face, slumped on the floor, distorted her expression.

" Whoops."

There was blood on his side.

When he raised his divine power with his hand, it quickly healed the wounds as if he had been attacked by an animal.

She was Isabelle.

In front of her, someone approached.

"His Majesty the Queen. You must return to Iman Luna. The demons of Kronos have already seen our plans. At a point where all the soldiers are lost, fighting further will only endanger the Queen. Please, I beg you earnestly. Please follow me just once."

tuk.

knelt down

The commander of Luna's Royal Knights.

Leo asked in a desperate voice.

That's not allowed.

He shook his head.

because there are only two

Isabelle seemed a little more comfortable.

Leo. I've had a purpose in life since I was born. Being a being who has been ordained by an oracle, I have always lived God's will. But how could I betray his will? I can't run away from this place by pushing all the people who believed in me and followed me into my limbs and to take care of my own well-being."

His voice trembled.

The demons of Kronos.

Soldiers were killed by them.

Isabel stood in the vanguard and raised the blessing, but the soldiers began to crumble due to the constant influx of enemies.

I still remember the situation clearly.

Even when their limbs were torn apart, the soldiers shouted the name of the gods and pierced their weapons, but Isabel knew that it meant nothing.

Enemies are infinite.

Humans have limits, but enemies have no limits.

Isabel got up.

Although she may have recovered with divine power, her body complained of pain in various places due to the arduous journey.

expression changed.

Isabelle said in a firm voice that was different from usual.

"As the Queen of Luna, as a follower of God's will, I must accept my innate destiny. Commander of the Royal Knights. You go back to 20,000 Luna. It is enough for me to bear a harsh fate."

moved a step

drew a sword

Leo clenched his fists at the back of her disappearing into darkness.

" damn it."

It was desperate.

Isabel and Leo.

Neither of them knew the future that lay in front of them.

The soldiers also knew that fighting the demons of Kronos would lead to death, but no one spoke the truth and showed no intention to run away.

Queen Isabel and her companions.

Those who vowed to sacrifice for God wanted to do God's will and die, even if they died.

However.

Leo was different.

He did not follow God, he followed Isabelle.

resented god

The more you do God's duty.

The closer you get to the truth.

This was not something humans could handle.

It might have been wiser to be grateful for a human lifespan of a hundred years, and to pray that despair does not come to him while he is still alive.

Leo was just a weak human.

While fighting the demons of Kronos, he succumbed to reality several times, but when he saw Isabelle disappearing into the darkness, he raised his sword.

'Oh God. Please save us.'

moved a step

Follow Isabelle.

He also disappeared into darkness.

Perhaps.

He will die because of this choice.

opened my eyes

The link with the World Tree has been broken.

It was a strange feeling.

Memories that may have happened in the past or that may have happened in the present were complicatedly entangled in my head.

'Alexander and Isabelle.'

first.

Through Alexander's conversation, he learned that he was inducing a revolt in Valhalla.

Valhalla communicated with the Kronos Empire.

However, since they are also empires with enormous power, for Kronos, the ideal scenario for Valhalla to destroy itself in a civil war was the most ideal.

Therefore, the revolt of the Duke of Vieto was brought to the fore.

The central government of Cairo, the poor harvest of Hector, the Earl of London of Redford, etc. Kronos, who had devoured each country from within, this time targeted the Valhalla Empire.

if.

If Valhalla suffered a major blow, the continent would be out of balance.

Even if they advocated neutrality, their existence had a special meaning just by standing still.

The current continent is composed of three rivers.

Kronos, Valhalla, and a kingdom united by Roman Dmitry.

It was a structure in which if two factions bit each other in a war, the other faction had no choice but to benefit.

second.

Isabel's disappearance was voluntary.

I don't know what truth she came to, but Isabel risked her life to stop some kind of conspiracy Kronos was planning.

Perhaps it has something to do with the mother elf's horse.

The mother elf mentioned the connection with the Demon Realm as the case of Graxxar, so it was necessary to investigate this.

'If you follow Isabel's footsteps, you will know some of the truth.'

Lots of work to do.

It was time to return to Dmitry.

By the way.

Roman Dmitry later confirmed that the surroundings had changed.

As consciousness was sucked into the flames, he was unaware of the changes he had made.

It wasn't just that.

Let's look back.

"Savior of Arcadia. Please accept the loyalty of our elf clan!"

"Accept allegiance!"

Thousands of elves.

They all fell to their knees and bowed their heads in unison.

* * *

When Roman Dmitry was connected to the World Tree.

The elves were outraged.

At the tremendous change caused by the World Tree, they all flocked together and asked Tersha.

"What the hell is this?!"

" I don't know why either. The moment the benefactor puts his hand on the World Tree, a huge fire broke out and the World Tree began to melt. What is certain is that the change is due to the benefactor."

I was astonished.

Regeneration of the World Tree.

It was a longing for the elves.

What they had hoped to achieve somehow became a reality through an unexpected person.

yet.

The mother elf has arrived.

As she looked at the world tree and Roman Dmitry on fire, she could not hide her surprise.

" Controlling the flames of fire."

It was clear.

Flames from Roman Dmitry.

It was just a lump of fire.

Roman Dmitry met the dwarves in the underworld, and said that the brown rock leading them might be a clue that the lump of fire might melt the world tree.

But he did not dare approach the uncontrollable heat.

In that way, the mass of fire was forgotten in their memories, and its intense power was now manifested in front of their eyes.

suddenly.

The mother elf remembered the moment when she was connected to the world tree.

When she first encountered Roman Dmitry's existence, she felt an indescribably strong feeling.

Alas.

There was a shudder.

It was certain.

A being that slaughtered orcs.

He was a savior.

A being who can do more than just defeat the Orcs.

Things have changed.

The mother elf turned back and said.

"Listen, all elves! Our benefactor, Roman Dmitry, saved us from the vicious orcs and even revived the World Tree. He has proven himself to be the one who will save the world. Gaia, your mother, believes that Roman Dmitry-sama has a future for the elves!"

raised his voice.

At the mother elf's words, the elves flocked in.

"Follow Roman Dmitry! Dedicate yourself to Him! His will is the future we desire!"

worshiped

Everyone looked at Roman Dmitry in unison.

Time has passed.

in the blazing fire.

Roman Dmitry did not move.

It was only a fleeting moment to him, but in the meantime, the sun went down and rose again, revealing the world.

So the next day

Roman Dmitry woke up.

That moment.

The mother elf knelt first, then bowed her head and shouted.

"Savior of Arcadia. Please accept the loyalty of our elf clan!"

"Accept allegiance!"

Thousands of elves follow her and worship her one after another.

A family of purity.

Beings who did not follow the will of anyone except God, cried out for allegiance to a human being.
