Chapter 657: Silvia Part 2

Chapter 657: Silvia Part 2

I felt once again what it was like to be a conductor of a power that didn't belong to me, but I was relieved by it, I could feel the power of the World Tree passing through me and going into the cocoon of branches or roots (I still don't understand which of the two are).

At the same time, I could feel that my body was rigid in place, I was maintaining two processes at the same time, the last stage of the World Tree's growth and the awakening process of this ancient World Tree Spirit.

It seems my role in the first process is already over, but because I was the one who started it, I'm still held in place until the end by the flows of power around me and the presence of the World Tree that still passes me by.

The second process, on the other hand, is using me as a conduit for the power of the World Tree to help your sister.

At least I know that as weird and bizarre as my situation is, I'm safe, I just don't know how long I have to keep it that way.

But my reflection on my situation ends when my Astral Body moves by itself to where the cocoon of branches is and closes it with its sinister wings, I don't know exactly what it is doing, but it must be part of the awakening process.

I look up and see that several new branches at the height of the clouds are growing, and leaves of many different colors are appearing one by one.

The energies around the World Tree are already completely harmonized, but I still have a strange feeling as if something is missing, maybe when the new World Tree is fully grown this feeling will disappear.

--------------

After hours of waiting I felt with my Aura as if something had clicked into place, it seemed that everything was the way it should be, the environment became pleasant and the pressure on me seemed to be decreasing while the presence I felt coming from the Tree of Mundo disappeared as if blending in with its surroundings.

Soon I felt as if a wave of invisible energy came out of the World Tree spreading in all directions.

After that I still had to stand and wait while the awakening process was still going on, it was only in the part of the night that there was a change.

Ding!

<[ Power grant ended ]>

<[ Awakening process starting ]>

I hear a different voice speaking as if coming from all directions, I could feel a mixture of emotions from that voice like kindness, affection, relief, concern, happiness, and gratitude.

This was a different voice from someone mature and with life experience, it must not be the World Tree that just grew up, at least I don't think so, so it must be the Spirit of another World Tree that connected with it and that's who helped me with Silvia's awakening.

"If you want to thank me, then pay me something, at the moment I'm accepting a meal, I'm very hungry." (I)

"..."

"Are you still there?" (I)

I mean it as a joke, that's because I'm going to have a party full of food whether they like it or not, in fact, the people of the Dungeon will end up having a party even if they don't say anything.

"She's already gone..."

A clearly younger voice appears.

"Are you the World Tree next to me?" (I)

"Yes, thanks for helping me... I'd like to talk more... but I'm sleepy... zzzzz..."

"..." (I)

"Really? Can a tree sleep?" (I)

I look back when I see myself surrounded by a black mist, my Astral Body disappeared, when this happened I felt that if someone had been holding my heart tightly and had now let go of it, using the Astral Body seems to take a lot of mental toll on me, even more so for so many days.

I look at my hand and realize that this was the first time I used my powers during an Awakening of someone where I didn't get tired or half dead.

Actually, I look at my status just to be sure and it seems that I was right, my three natural energies are completely full as well as my vitality, it seems that this is due to the remnant of the World Tree energy that was healing me until a short time ago.

I look to my side in time to notice the Fairy hugging my face as she manages to get both of her four hands into my eyes, in addition, I felt tentacles enveloping me.

Even without seeing I knew that this was Layla and Hinata's thing, I hug Hinata with one hand while I hold Layla by the leg and pull her to let go of my face, but she clings to my nose as I continually try to pull her out of my face.

Sigh

When I finally free myself from this Fairy's embrace, I look around recognizing a floor full of craters and battle scars.

I look beyond that and focus on the people walking toward me with a smile, it's time to talk to them to find out how the Monster Wave went.
