Chapter 651: Zenos Causes A Wave Of Monsters Part 9
Pov Lilian:
Beginning of the night of the 6th day of the Wave of Monsters.
This is the first battle alongside my Students after a long time, I was in the village fighting alongside Kira and Elsaris' family.
As I'm holding a purple Lizardman in my hands by the neck, I look at the World Tree in the distance, it seems something has changed again.
"Looks like something serious is going on there." (Horn 3)
"It looks like it's dying." (Horn 1)
"It's more about to be consumed than dying." (I)
The World Tree had lost some of the glow it had kept since it came into being when the illusion that was hiding it disappeared.
Even the multicolored flames in the clouds have dimmed a lot, I can also see a green light flashing in the distance, plus there's the green line appearing from everywhere on the World Tree from bottom to top.
The more the light of the World Tree dims, the higher these green lines get, I still couldn't understand what those green lines were, but now it looks like they are children, I only noticed this because the green lines became thicker.
My students are right, this World Tree is dying, but that's only part of the truth, I know more than they do because I've been with the Holy Son longer.
These branches growing underneath the World Tree belong to another World Tree that is devouring its predecessor as it grows.
It might be a sad fate, but from what Priestess Vanessa told me, this was the only way to make the process of growing a World Tree accelerate from what Elf Queen Luthien said when we were on the World Tree of the Morror Continent.
"Don't worry, the Holy Son will take care of it, he came knowing what he's going to do and he's prepared." (I)
"It's calm..." (Hinata)
"There are no more monsters to hunt." (Orion)
"It's calm because the new World Tree is already starting to Harmonize the environment, I can see that." (Queen Lolth)
The Elf Queen Lolth is with us around the fire.
"I can see the three natural energies flowing all over the place without colliding with each other, but it also shouldn't be long before the elemental energy doesn't cause any more problems." (Queen Lolth)
I look at the World Tree again, those little tree buds that grew between my master's fingers who are holding the World Tree with time became bigger and bigger quinquennium its branches are piercing the trunk of the ancient World Tree.
Soon 1 branch became a few, then a few branches became hundreds and soon those hundreds of branches became thousands until these smaller branches had destroyed the entire lower part of the World Tree.
"The Spirit of the new World Tree has already consumed the World Tree from within, now it is just consuming the bark while creating its own." (Queen Lolth)
"I can feel the Spirit inside the World Tree, but it seems to be focused more on Zenos than finishing everything." (Queen Lolth)
I look at the World Tree again, but this time I focus my vision on the master, I noticed that there are streams of energy coming out of the master's body, more specifically the crystal in his hand.
"What's going on with the master?" (I)
"The crystal that was once the shell of this new World Tree Spirit is not supporting a fully developed World Tree Spirit is causing that crystal to break." (Queen Lolth)
"The World Tree must be trying to help Zenos bear some of the burden, otherwise he would be dead already." (Queen Lolth)
"But will he be okay?" (I)
"Yes, you may not be seeing it, but his body is constantly being destroyed and healed at the same instant." (Queen Lolth)
