Episode 212 Ifrit (4)

“Hold on! “There isn’t much left!”

Dapple pushed away the dark elf’s sword and encouraged his soldiers.

According to what Sylvia and Luca said, there wasn’t much left until the World Tree bloomed.

“shit….”

Luca gritted his teeth. In fact, the problem was not the world tree. The battle between Baek Woo-jin and Ifrit in the western forest was the most important.

“Focus on the battle in front of you!!”

“Victory is just around the corner!”

Dapple and Tycoon Luca forced their gaze away from the western forest.

Whoa whoa.

By the time the three races had disposed of most of the dark elves and dark demons, a blazing heat began to rise from the ground.

“crazy….”

Luca stuck out his tongue. Ifrit’s fire spread from the western forest and spread here.

“Ugh!”

Dapple gritted his teeth. It felt like his chest was burning black. If this level of heat could be felt here, the western forest would be no different from hell.

‘please! Please win.’

He prayed for Baek Woo-jin to survive without giving any notice to his soldiers.

Quaaaaa!

A huge vortex of flame rose from the western forest. Black and blue flames were twisted like a twist.

The bloody battle ended and everyone lowered their weapons.

Everyone knew that the outcome of today’s battle would be determined by the outcome of the fight in the western forest.

Once again, an explosion shook the earth, and the blue flames faded like cherry blossoms.

“uh…?”

“Cheongyeom has gone out….”

“That’s ridiculous.”

The elves trembled when they saw that the blue flame had subsided.

The fact that that flame went out meant that Baek Woo-jin had defeated Ifrit. I couldn’t believe it.

Ugh!

When everyone looked mesmerized, the seeds and branches of the World Tree were perfectly connected, and the World Tree began to awaken.

Quaaaaa!

The World Tree soared into the sky, spreading blue light. The vast energy of nature erased the heat and filled the overturned earth.

The dark elves threw their heads on the ground and screamed, and the black ghosts fell down.

Blue light spread out like an umbrella and spread throughout the Rhine Forest.

**

“Kwaaaaaak!”

As soon as the high elf Kazan was illuminated by the light of the World Tree, he held his head and let out a scream.

His eyes were constantly switching between white and black, like turning a fluorescent light on and off.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Kazan rolled his eyes and fell back with foam at his mouth.

chin.

Ifrit helped Kazan, who was falling, and laid him on the floor. His left arm and left horn had already been restored.

“you….”

“Why are you so surprised? I am a spirit. Restoring his severed arms and horns is simple.”

“Are you sure you want to continue?”

“I told you I passed. “I have no intention of fighting anymore.”

Ifrit shook his head and transformed into the little devil he had originally appeared in.

“What happened?”

“The curse that consumed Kazan’s spirit has been broken.”

Ifrit answered lightly as if it was no big deal.

“I deliberately overused my abilities and stimulated Kazan’s spirit. Thanks to this, I was able to use the World Tree to break the curse spell on Kazan.”

“You intentionally overused your abilities?”

“okay. Of course, the reason that was possible was because of you.”

Ifrit looked at Baek Woo-jin and smiled. It was an expression of absurdity.

“I didn’t know you would hold up this well.”

“So you were trying to save that high elf from the beginning?”

“My purpose from the beginning was twofold.”

Ifrit raised two of his fingers. His eyes sparkled with a completely different color than when I first saw him.

“The first thing was to lift the curse on that elf, and the other thing was because of this guy?”

“Accurate.”

When Baek Woo-jin pointed at Ignis, who had lost strength and had become the size of a puppy, Ifrit nodded.

[Kyaarung!]

Ignis growled as if he didn’t like it, but his current appearance was just cute.

“That guy was born with the powerful ability of fearing from the beginning. “He couldn’t control his powers, so he had to be kept alone.”

“hmm….”

[Kyaan!]

Baek Woo-jin looked at Ignis barking at Ifrit.

Now I can understand why this guy had been feeling lonely since I first saw him.

“There isn’t much time left until my extinction, so I wanted to make that guy grow up quickly.”

“If you had explained those things from the beginning, this guy wouldn’t have hated you, right?”

“I’m not the type to talk about such details.”

Ifrit waved his hand as if he was not interested.

“When you attacked me, you really wanted to kill me, but what happened?”

“It’s because of you.”

“what?”

“I tried to do it appropriately, but your fire resistance and strength far exceeded my expectations. Especially during the last attack, my heart sank. “Even if it’s easy to come back from cutting off the arms and horns, it doesn’t mean there’s no damage.”

Ifrit looked at Baek Woo-jin with tired eyes. I meant it. Looking back over the past years, there has not been a single human being with that level of resistance and mental strength.

“One more thing, what happened to you burning down the World Tree?”

“I am the one who burned the World Tree. However, if I hadn’t burned the World Tree, none of the elves would have survived.”

“What does that mean?”

“For elves, the World Tree is like their mother. Even if it is cut down, it will never be thrown away.”

-That arsonist is right. For elves, the World Tree is like life. If we hadn’t burned it, we would have died there together.

“I see.”

It seems that Ifrit burned the World Tree to save the elves. After talking with him, I realized that he was a completely different spirit from what I first felt.

“What happened to that elf?”

Baek Woo-jin saw Kazan fallen. I wondered what on earth happened to make the high elf look like that.

“I don’t know for sure either. “I only know that the Empire and the Church activated the curse.”

“It’s not a religious order that worships martial gods, is it?”

“Humans from this world know everything.”

Ifrit chuckled after hearing Baek Woo-jin’s answer. I laughed at the fact that a human from another world knew the empire’s religion.

“There are still those who worship martial gods, but they are no longer the mainstream. “The state religion of the empire is a different religion.”

“Where is it?”

“That’s a bit much for me to say. “You will know that much.”

Ifrit kept his mouth shut, as if he had no intention of saying anything more.

“In the future, the transmission of power will take place.”

“Transmission of power?”

“That guy’s growth stopped for a while, right?”

“that’s right.”

“Because I have risen to the highest level that a simple spirit can rise to. “You passed my test, so you can grow again.”

“That’s why Ignis’ growth stopped.”

Before Ignis awakened, his abilities had barely changed. This was because he rose to the highest level as a spirit, not as a king.

“If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to save Kazan and that child wouldn’t have changed like that. thanks.”

“What is that….”

Baek Woo-jin scratched his cheek with a nervous expression.

“And I wasn’t at full strength. “Don’t think you’ve won against me.”

Ifrit let out his last words like smoke and disappeared.

“Well, it was really cool, but it got a little ugly at the end.”

-It’s not a little ugly, it’s a lot ugly?

Baek Woo-jin and Darkness laughed as they looked at the space where Ifrit disappeared.

“Keuuu!”

“Kruk!”

Baek Woo-jin turned his head to the entrance of the western forest at the disgusting sound that sounded like he was vomiting blood.

“You really can’t even come in.”

An incalculable number of dark demons and dozens of dark elves and various monsters could not enter the forest because of the curtain that had spread from the World Tree.

-Those guys are addicted to darkness. If you’re already inside, you can’t break in.

As the darkness said, the dark ghosts and dark elves only gritted their teeth and glared at the forest, unable to even approach.

“I’m glad. “I lost all my strength.”

Baek Woo-jin waved his hand as if teasing the black ears and dark elves. Seeing that, the murderous looks in the dark ghosts and dark elves’ eyes became even darker.

“Let’s just go back.”

Baek Woo-jin grabbed Kazan’s leg. Dragging it along the ground, it headed toward the center of the forest.

-Why don’t you listen to me properly?

“I don’t want to see you sleeping after doing something like this.”

-Well, I may not have done it on purpose, but that’s right.

“When I think about it, I suddenly feel angry.”

Baek Woo-jin lifted Kazan up and hit the back of his head hard enough to make a loud noise.

“I’m bored, so I’m going to beat it and go.”

-Anyway, in terms of personality…

**

Sylvia opened her eyes and let out her excited breath. Lifting her head she looked at the sky. She could see the World Tree growing as if it would cover the world.

“Ifrit….”

I thought Ifrit had come to burn the World Tree again this time.

However, he brought heat into the earth and made the world tree grow faster.

“What on earth are you thinking?”

Ifrit helped the World Tree grow, but he was closer to sincerity when fighting Baek Woo-jin. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

“Is it over now?”

“For now, we have achieved minimal growth.”

“Minimum growth? “That?”

Dapple stuttered. He had already broken through the other trees and soared to the highest level, but I had no idea how much taller he could get.

“It will grow much bigger than it is now. This forest will also grow bigger.”

The elves knelt in front of the World Tree and put their hands together. The blessings of the World Tree fell upon their heads.

“iced coffee….”

“at las!”

“My senses are coming back.”

The elves trembled and shed tears. With the blessing of the World Tree, the lost senses and spirit energy began to return.

“I’m going to go to my benefactor.”

“You don’t have to go.”

Sylvia grabbed Dapple’s shoulder as he tried to run to the western forest.

“You’re coming here now.”

As soon as Sylvia finished speaking, Baek Woo-jin appeared from the western island. He dragged the elf, whom he had not seen, like a broom.

The elf’s head turned black as if it had been thrown into a gutter.

“Master! Are you okay!”

Deple walked up to Baek Woo-jin and looked at him.

“Baek Woo-jin!”

“Woojin!”

Not only Sylvia Tycoon, but everyone here rushed to Baek Woo-jin.

“ah….”

“Uhm….”

“Are you okay?”

“There are so many scars!”

The three races were speechless when they saw Baek Woo-jin’s condition. There were no burns anywhere on my body, including my clothes and head.

I felt like crying at the thought of fighting the Spirit King alone in such a state.

“Who is your teacher? “Take this.”

“Ugh!”

Baek Woo-jin laughed and threw the Kazan at Dapple. Although Dapple was embarrassed, he accepted Kazan.

“Kazan!”

“It’s Ka Kazan!”

“We must kill him immediately! Otherwise….”

“are you okay.”

Silvia approached Kazan with a sad look in her eyes. She raised her hand and stroked Kazan’s head, then her chin.

“The spell and curse on this child have already been lifted.”

The natural energy spreading from the World Tree seemed to have lifted the darkness that had been controlling Kazan’s mind. Only now did she know Ifrit’s intentions.

“Baek Woojin.”

Sylvia approached Baek Woo-jin, got down on her knees and put her hands together underneath her. Baek Woo-jin tried to stop him, but he shook his head and closed his eyes.

“thank you. “I have nothing more to say other than that.”

Sylvia expressed her gratitude to Baek Woo-jin with the best elf manners.

“thank you!”

Luca and the other elves also took the same stance as Silvia, kneeling with her hands together.

“Lifesaving silver! Thank you so much!”

“Thank you!”

Dapple looked back once, then got down on one knee and bowed his head. Other humans also shouted their thanks in the same posture as Dapple.

thud!

Tycoon held the hammer upside down and hit the ground. The other dwarves also struck the ground with their own hammers and axes.

All three races were expressing their gratitude to Baek Woo-jin as the best example.

“after….”

Baek Woo-jin felt his heart beating still hot as he received everyone’s thanks.

He said it was nice to say thank you, but he was satisfied with just being able to protect them all.

match!

Baek Woo-jin clapped his hands and laughed.

“Let’s have a festival today.”

**

A festival of three races was held under the newly born young world tree.

There was no Cian, the elf drink called God’s Tears, and no Flame Coober, a beer filled with the passion of the dwarves.

Although there was only cheap wine and low-quality beer at Linden Castle, the atmosphere was better than ever and the smiles never left everyone’s faces.

We encouraged each other for our hard work and hugged each other to say we were thankful.

“This is pretty good too.”

Baek Woo-jin drank beer on a tree a little away from the World Tree. It was quite dry compared to modern beers, but had its own taste.

-Why are you making a fuss here like an idiot?

‘If I go, there will be an uproar and thank you again.’

I know they are grateful, but they keep saying thank you, and now I feel embarrassed and burdened.

“Woojin.”

Baek Woo-jin lowered his head at the sound of Sylvia’s voice coming from under the tree.

“Why is the protagonist here?”

“Because it’s comfortable.”

In response to Baek Woo-jin’s answer, Sylvia covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“I can finally feel it now. “You certainly possess the energy of all four spirits.”

Thanks to the World Tree blooming again, Baek Woo-jin was able to feel the enormous energy of nature within his body.

He was a man whose greatness cannot be expressed in words as he handled all the four major spirits and each one of them was above the rank of a superior.

“I didn’t really mean to deceive you.”

“i know.”

Sylvia smiled and nodded her head. Baek Woo-jin was right. He just didn’t say anything, he didn’t deceive.

“You know what?”

“yes?”

“The World Tree grows and drops his fruit.”

Sylvia came up to the tree branch where Baek Woo-jin was. She took Baek Woo-jin’s hand and put down her plum-sized fruit.

“The fruit of the World Tree can be an elixir for anyone. “This is the first fruit and contains more natural energy than other fruits.”

“hmm….”

I could tell just by touching it. This fruit was full of pure natural mana.

“Because it was the first one, I wanted to give it to Woojin.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to use it somewhere else rather than give it to me? “There was a lot of damage in many ways.”

“If it wasn’t for Woojin, that tree wouldn’t have bloomed. Then there would have been no fruit. “Woojin must have this.”

Sylvia shook her head in a rare display of stubbornness.

-Ssya! You’re going to take it anyway. Stop wasting time!

“thank you.”

Baek Woo-jin bowed his head to Sylvia and accepted the fruit of the World Tree.

“Thank you for accepting me.”

With those words left behind, Sylvia went downstairs. She goes to nurse Kazan, who has not yet come to her senses.

‘The energy inside is no joke.’

-It is the elixir of elixirs. It will increase not only mana, but also element sensitivity, resistance, and physical ability.

‘That’s awesome. For now, you have it.’

When Baek Woo-jin was about to hand over the fruit of the World Tree to Darkness, a message began to appear.

[Calculate the reward for the emergency quest < Blooming New Hope >.]

[3500 compensation points will be given.]

[The humans of this world were impressed by your performance. An additional 1,500 points will be paid.]

[The elves think of you as their savior. An additional 1,500 points will be paid.]

[The dwarves feel they owe you their lives. An additional 1,500 points will be paid.]

-Oh, I’m so sick of it! Give me some at once!

Darkness became irritated as he watched the points rising steadily.

‘But why don’t they give me spirits?’

When I was curious about the second reward spirit, a new message appeared.

[The level of compensation that will be paid to you is very high.]

[The reward < New Spirit > will be converted to the reward you want.]

thud!

The moment the message disappeared, the earth trembled.
