Ch 103
Episode 102 – Black mass.
Kim Jae-joo’s hand was dyed white, and in an instant, it pierced the vicinity of Lephia’s heart.
“Kueek.”
Lephia frowned and vomited blood, but her ugly mouth was still smiling.
“Kee… Kee-hee-hee. Do you know that I turned into a human for nothing?”
He knew it too. When the main body returns to the Demon Realm, the monarchs never die.
Still, it was not a meaningless action as there would be some damage to the body.
“It was a rant.”
Kim Jae-joo wiped off the blood except for his hands.
Lephia, who was laughing like crazy, turned to the guards behind him.
“Please tie him up tightly so that Lephia does not run away and watch over him.”
“What do you mean?”
At Codran’s question, Jaejoo Kim shook his head quickly and moved to the forest.
“The contamination of the world water is imminent.”
“If you see anything suspicious, you can kill it.”
Lephia had something to ask about the manager, but she didn’t have time.
[Current contamination progress: 99%]
“Sleep, wait!”
Shh!
Leaving behind someone’s disapproving voice, Jaejoo Kim began to jump over the watchmen and run for the world tree.
His eyes trembled anxiously as he stepped on the tree.
‘Where should I go first…’
Kim Jae-joo’s hair was intricately tangled.
If he was anticipating a move ahead, the manager was rocking the whole board.
‘I should have noticed when the World Tree appeared.’
It was a moment that was hit by an urgent moment, and the trivial things that were overlooked were fatal.
– What?
-no; Then where are you going to find it?
– Listening to Lephia, it seems like you’ve beaten the world tree.
-The world tree is larger than dozens of buildings put together; when found
– I feel like I’m wasting all my time looking for it
At -100%, the world tree is broken?
-ㅇㅇ The location of the contamination is also random
– You must have tried to prevent contamination before you can do this. What is this?
‘Shall we go to the Fairy King?’
He thought about it for a moment, but then shook his head.
If it were her, it would be the limit just to curb the ongoing pollution.
‘The heart of the bell sown near other guardian trees…’
He quickly turned his head to check the condition of the guardian trees in the distance.
‘no.’
The guardian trees had now lost even the strength to resist, and they were dying of black with the light turned off.
It was proof that the species’ heart was getting ready to bloom.
In the end, Jaejoo Kim arrived in front of the world tree without being able to organize his complicated head.
aa-
The World Capital was crying wildly as if he had noticed the abnormality in his body.
Kim Jae-joo’s footsteps stopped at the sight of being stained black in various places.
‘From where….’
Its large size, with no end in sight even when looking to the side, boasted a sense of intimidation that could not be approached prematurely.
‘I have to find it.’
We need to find out where Lephia has planted the seeds.
Jaejoo Kim quickly approached the World Tree and scanned the World Tree with the thought that he would not miss a single ant.
‘no.’
Running sideways, jumping over large roots, and scanning the stomach.
No traces of broken somewhere, no unusual corners.
Nothing was visible.
Even if I try to suppress my nervousness.
[Current contamination progress: 99%]
The rest of the time didn’t allow it.
Jaejoo Kim stopped walking.
‘Not enough time.’
He looked up at the World Tree with a bewildered expression.
If even the Fairy King finally gave up on his strength, the pollution of the World Tree would reach 100%.
-Oh, Jaejoo Kim, what are you doing?
– Did you give up?
– It seems that the country can’t help it.
-5252! Foggy is a word used when counting Chinese cabbage.
Jaejoo Kim smiled with a self-helpful smile.
“sorry. I guess-”
before he even finished speaking.
“Popoi!”
Popois popped out of their backpacks.
One, two, three.
I sat down on the grass like that, and looked up at Jaejoo Kim.
“Laha, Cordin, Verin?”
“Popoi!”
Each time their name was called, the popoes jumped one by one.
“Sorry. Probably…”
Kim Jae-joo’s voice lowered as he felt his heart swell.
“Popoi!”
The popoes jumped up and down as if they were frustrated.
Jaejoo Kim grasped the meaning at once thanks to his magical magic skills.
Mouth opened blankly.
“You think you know where…?”
“Popoi!”
After the popoes shouted loudly, they turned around and began to lengthen their hair.
“Popoi!”
Thus, the Popois manipulated their elongated hair and jumped over the large root nearby in an instant.
“Sleep, wait!”
Kim Jae-joo shouted in embarrassment, but the popoes had already disappeared.
easy profit.
In a hurry, Jaejoo Kim followed the roots of Popois, and the Popois were crossing the next root in the distance.
– What is it?
-I don’t know…Monga…Monga is happening
– Is this Popoi?
The sudden action of Popois started to speed up the chatting speed of viewers like crazy.
“Laha, Cordin, Verin!”
“Popoi!”
Jaejoo Kim went over and over again and followed Popois.
Finally, I was able to find the appearance of the Popois.
“Popoi!”
The appearance of jumping from the tip of a large root was as if saying “here”.
“Here?”
“Popoi!”
Jaejoo Kim quickly looked at the tip of the root.
There were no black stains, there were no artificial flaws, and it looked very good.
– This is a little;
– I think I’m fooling around
– No matter how you look at it, there are no signs of contamination.
– Aren’t Popoi just screaming?
But Jaejoo Kim.
“thank you.”
Without hesitation, he breathed the energy of the sun into the mechanical armor.
If someone asks him to think of the only reliable being in the tower, that’s it.
It was the Popois.
Wow!
Kim Jae-joo stretched out his arm about the middle of the root, taking into account enough space for the bell’s heart.
Soon, the letters [Enian] engraved on the mechanical gloves began to burn brightly.
Pa-ang!
A pure white light was shot towards the roots.
easy profit.
He stretched his shoes into the floor and moved his arms down to control the recoil.
The magic cannon started cutting the roots like a cutter.
Keek!
An unforgettable sound emanated from the roots.
The bell’s heart was a roaring scream.
– What is this?
-Omi;
thud.
The cut root fell to the floor and rolled over, and Jaejoo Kim quickly recovered his magic and lowered his arm.
– It’s true;
-It’s creepy.
– What is a parasite?
From the cross section of the charred roots, black smoke flowed out like a mist.
aah
The world tree trembled at the pain of having its roots cut off, and Kim Jae-joo’s head turned without realizing it.
“ah······.”
The world tree’s tainted stains were shrinking in size one by one.
Jaejoo Kim stared blankly at the system window.
[Current contamination progress: 98%]
The world tree that was on the verge of death.
Little by little, it was regaining its original shape.
Since the heart of the species that infiltrated the World Tree has been removed, the level of pollution will gradually decrease.
There was no problem with the hearts of the species that bloomed in the guardian tree, as the watchmen could handle it.
“Popoi!”
The popoes jumped up with their eyes twinkling as if I was doing well.
“···Thank you so much.”
“Popoi!”
Kim Jae-joo bent over with overwhelming emotions and reached out to caress Popois.
That moment.
Kee eh!
The severed roots wobbled like a living creature, and the black smoke that flowed out was shot like a poppy.
Jaejoo Kim activated the prediction time and controlled the court.
‘There should be no gaps.’
The coat that had turned into a hemisphere covered the popoes in an instant.
slurp-.
In the end, the acting that could not reach the Popoi changed the goal.
To Jaejoo Kim.
Shh!
However, with an intermittent car, the rest of the coat wrapped around Kim Jae-joo’s whole body.
‘What the hell is this….’
Kim Jae-joo stopped his prediction at the sensation that his head was going to break.
I stayed still for a while to see if there was an unexpected attack, but there was no sound from outside the court.
‘Is it over?’
Kim Jae-joo controlled the court in detail, creating a gap just enough to see the field of vision.
I could see a wide grassy field, and the cool night air leaked in.
The black smoke that had been hovering around me disappeared like a breath.
“················ogue.”
At the end of the ever-expanding field of vision, a severed root was seen.
No, it was the root.
Kee eh!
The root had now turned into a black mass and was wriggling incessantly.
The tentacles stuck to the floor continued to wiggle and seem to absorb something.
“Laha, Cordin, Verin!”
Jaejoo Kim quickly took off his coat and stepped back.
“Popoi!”
Popois also sensed the ominous energy and stuck behind Kim Jae-joo’s feet.
[Current contamination progress: 97%]
‘It’s not pollution.’
Pollution levels were dropping.
That means that the black mass’s actions are not for pollution.
Wii ing.
Jaejoo Kim activated the mechanical armor with only the magic power of Blood Seok.
‘Is once the limit?’
No matter how much the dragon used the magic of the sun, it only gave pain to the heart and did not respond.
Jaejoo Kim, who had his shoes on the floor, stretched out his arms in front of him.
Pa-ang!
A magic cannon was fired and ran towards the center of the black mass.
kiek?
The black mass reacted to the light that drove away the darkness.
A solid line was drawn in the center of the mass, and it quickly split and swallowed the magic cannon.
Seeing that, Jaejoo Kim quickly removed his magic cannon and lowered his arm.
“Zip, chup.”
The lump seemed to be pitiful, and his taste buds were dry.
-damn; What?
– Now, a guy I’ve never heard of is coming out.
– The pollution level is going down, so it doesn’t matter?
The chat window was also full of confusion at the appearance of the bizarre mass.
‘What’s the purpose?’
It was clear that within the root was the heart of the species.
However, since Jaejoo Kim cut off the roots, the servant’s heart would no longer be able to absorb life force.
‘Is this the last strike?’
It is correct to think that the heart of the species, who felt the crisis of life, tried to change.
The lump continued to wiggle the tentacles it had stuck to the floor.
‘Dangerous.’
It was an instinctive intuition.
If you leave it like that, something will happen.
“human!”
It was then.
In the distance, the elder and the guardian. And many watchmen were running towards this side.
“How did you get here?”
Jaejoo Kim asked the elder who approached the fastest.
“The Fairy King has sent a signal. There are humans here, so please help.”
“What happened to Lephia?”
“I killed it. They deceived and ridiculed us to the end.”
“···okay.”
The elder snorted and looked at the black mass.
“What happened?”
“Pollution has been prevented. However···”
At Kim Jae-joo’s subsequent explanation, the elder hardened his expression.
“How could a life give off such a terrible smell…”
“I can’t believe it.”
The facial expressions of the guards who gathered one by one did not differ much.
“I will remove it.”
Among them, one of the guards of valor came forward with a shining spear.
The watchman, who rushed in without anyone to stop him, stopped in front of the mass and raised his front paws wide.
thud.
It hit the floor with its front paws, and at the same time, the spear slammed into the mass violently.
Keek!
The spear penetrated deep into the mass as if it were working.
“It’s nothing.”
The valiant watchman gave me strength to pull out the spear with an expression of low momentum.
“···uh?”
The window didn’t even budge.
Kee eh!
The lump engulfed the spear in an instant.
The startled watchman released the spear and stepped back.
“Get away!”
The elder cried out urgently, but he couldn’t.
Dozens of tentacles suddenly sprouted out of the mass.
Kee eh!
Catch the watchman in an instant.
“Aww!”
He devoured it into his mouth.
