Faith Life of a Former Scammer

068. Gazzaa!

“This is it.”

The Guardian answered calmly, but Leone was in a state of surprise.

‘crazy. Was this what it was like to communicate with the world tree?’

The deepest part of the world tree.

I knew that the road to there would be ‘not easy’.

Opposition from protesting elven villagers and naive old elves. Leon’s performance in persuading the residents!

An epic to save the world tree!

There was none of this.

‘Skip all of them and go to one room?’

With just one word from her, a path was formed on the wall.

The power to change the inside of the World Tree. This was the power of the Guardian.

‘Because I have this kind of power, I was able to live in the World Tree.’

When you think about it, it was natural.

Without this power, it would be impossible to live inside the World Tree in the first place.

“Follow me, priest.”

“Yes, Guardian.”

Leone followed her into the new path.

Inside, the feeling was completely different from that of the cave. Caves made of wood, not cold stone. Even though it was a narrow and dark aisle, I felt warmth.

Plus, it gave off a strange scent.

“It seems to have a refreshing scent.”

“… … Incense?”

“It smells like grass. Am I mistaken?”

“You are the one who was chosen by an angel. There are many children that even us elves can’t feel… … .”

Among the elves, if there was one person who couldn’t feel it, it was that it wasn’t really the smell of grass.

‘Is it Siri?’

[you’re right. The inside of the cave is full of divine power.]

‘Divine power? Can’t you feel it at all?’

[It’s not a normal divine power, but this is definitely a divine power.]

It was a relief that Siri could feel it.

‘Can I use this divine power?’

If you could feel it, it meant you might be able to control it.

[Analysis is required.]

‘I’ll give you enough time, so you don’t have to rush.’

[thank you.]

Recalling the Guardian’s explanation, the world tree did not wither at once. Enough time.

While talking to Siri like that, the road ends before you know it. You have arrived at a ‘dead end’.

“The priest is the first human to visit this place.”

“It is an honour.”

At Leon’s words, she grinned and put her hand on the wall. Where there used to be a dead end, a hole appeared and a fairly large cavity appeared.

“This is the center of the World Tree, the realm of the World Tree.”

“This… … .”

area of the World Tree.

This was a completely different space.

Clear skies and warm sunlight.

cool and refreshing wind.

Flowers and trees blooming in the green field.

Well, it wasn’t a tree.

‘How can there be such a space in a tree… … .’

When Leon looked around in a panic, the guardian smiled and opened his mouth.

“Are you surprised?”

“I never thought there would be sunlight.”

“It is not real sunlight. As you can see by looking at the sky, there is no sun.”

It was as she said.

I looked up and looked at the sky. It was a clear blue sky, but the sun was nowhere to be found.

“Is it an illusion?”

“no. As I said, this is the World Tree’s domain.”

I thought it could be understood as ‘the space created by the World Tree’.

‘It feels strangely familiar.’

Even though it was a mysterious and incomprehensible space, it somehow felt familiar.

It was Siri who answered Rion’s question.

[As a result of observation, this place is judged to be the world of images.]

‘ah!’

After listening to Siri, I started to understand roughly.

‘In the world of images, it’s the same place where my Holy Circle was planted, right?’

[That’s correct.]

In the world of images, it is understandable that such an appearance unfolds.

Siri added further explanation.

[All divine power is coming from that tree. That tree in the center is judged to be the main body of the World Tree.]

‘okay? I’ll check.’

Leone pointed to the ‘unsightly tree’ in the middle of the field and said.

“What is that sacred tree?”

“Really… … You are a great person.”

The Guardian looked very surprised.

“That tree is the World Tree.”

Siri’s guess was correct.

That ugly tree in the center was the ‘World Tree’.

* * *

“Originally, it had abundant leaves and was much more lively, but now it is so skinny.”

Like a tree that has lost all its leaves in winter, the World Tree only has bare branches. It definitely looked like there was a problem.

“Still, this has gotten a lot better.”

Even this looks better.

There was a reason why the elves moved regardless of means and methods.

“You will get well soon.”

After comforting her, Leon said what he really wanted.

“Is the device that injects life force installed here?”

“yes that’s right. Come over here.”

She guided Leone behind a tree.

I thought there would be a special device, but what was there was a ‘magic circle’.

“Is it a magic circle?”

“Yes. It’s like a magic circle.”

“Are you saying that being similar isn’t a magic circle?”

“To be precise, you can think of it as a mixture of witchcraft and magic circles. The entire clan was able to interpret and create the book after several years of hard work.”

After listening to her words, metaphysical figures and letters were written all over the place to be called a magic circle.

A combination of witchcraft and sorcery.

‘Dark bastard. Are you smart?’

Absorbs life force and transfers it.

At first glance, this was a technique close to black magic.

I wondered why the elves would use this, but it was a combination of witchcraft and magic, not black magic.

“Why was this technology written in the book?”

“yes. It was a ‘magic team’ created by the cooperation of the ancient druids and humans.”

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like the black magic had made this.

Leon floated his luck to hear additional explanations.

“If you said you were making something like this, you would have been warned… … .”

“It was a technique created to revive a dying divine beast.”

“You mean Shinsoo?”

“Yes. Whether such a thing really existed is something we don’t know.”

An ancient story that even elves don’t know.

‘If it’s plausible, it’s plausible.’

A magic circle developed to save Shinsoo. It was the perfect technique to save the dying world tree.

‘It fits so perfectly.’

Lyon asked her a question as if to confirm.

“In the end, did the ancients save the gods with this technology?”

“Yes. He is recovering at a rapid pace, the magic circle has succeeded, and this is how the book ends.”

As expected, it was as Leon thought.

‘After the recovery, there is no content.’

Recovery is just a process.

After recovery, the results were missing.

‘How do I do this… … .’

Leon, who was worried, soon put his worries away. There was no need to go complicated.

“Can this magic circle be used on people?”

“To a person?!”

she asked in surprise.

“The angel bestowed several blessings on my body.”

“No, anyway… … .”

She hadn’t imagined this development.

“Can there be a faster way?”

“It is not designed for people. More vitality than necessary is not something people can handle.”

Shin Soo-yong’s magic team. Leon knew that this wasn’t made for people.

I didn’t intend to absorb that life force in the first place.

“I don’t intend to absorb that life force either.”

“no way… … !”

The Guardian seemed to have noticed Leon’s plan.

“I will first receive the life force, purify it, and pass it on to the World Tree. Energy purified by the priest. Can there be a more certain purification than this?”

human filter.

This was Leon’s plan.

* * *

However, I couldn’t get to work right away.

“no. Still, this… … .”

“No matter how much it is for the World Tree, such a sacrifice… … .”

“Why are you treating your own life so carelessly… … .”

She tried to convince Leon that this wouldn’t work for a long time, but it didn’t help.

If you couldn’t convince it, that was a strange thing.

“… … If it is judged dangerous, it will stop immediately. I cannot yield more than this.”

“Thank you for your permission.”

Lyon’s expression of gratitude while sacrificing her body left a big impression on her.

“I don’t think there is such a noble person among humans… … .”

She looked at Leon and muttered quietly.

Her eyes were full of emotion and wonder.

‘Well, I’d appreciate it if you misunderstood me like that.’

Of course, Leon had no intention of sacrificing his body to rectify this problem.

‘You mean it’s possible?’

[That’s right. Even if it goes beyond my control, the trainee will handle it.]

[Bixby Trainee! Ready! I will wipe it out with anger!]

Siri and Bixby duo.

It was possible because there were two of them.

“please wait for a moment.”

She started preparing to use the magic circle. The complex process of bringing the body from outside was not passed.

“I’ll bring the smallest one for now.”

As she closed her eyes and concentrated, a corpse fell from the sky onto the magic circle.

It seemed that the structure of the World Tree was changed and the corpses were moved here.

“Fortunately, there was a little guy.”

A lizard the size of a forearm.

This one seemed to be on the small side.

“Priest, the power of life force is greater than you can imagine. You can never overdo it.”

She didn’t forget the request until the end.

After that it was simple.

Leone sat down right next to the World Tree, and she started moving the magic circle.

“Let’s get started!”

With her words, the magic circle began to glow.

The blue light of magic and the light green of witchcraft. The two combined to emit a deep blue-green light.

‘Only the color is pretty, that one is so terrible.’

A beautiful turquoise light decomposed lizard. Skin disappears, flesh and bones disappear.

Soon nothing was left, and a transparent ‘something’ began to sway.

“I’ll put it in!”

With her words, something transparent was absorbed into Leon’s body.

‘This crazy!’

Tremendous energy began to flow into Leon’s body. As she said, the amount of this energy was beyond imagination.

‘Hey Siri!’

[Emergency occurs! Forcibly summoned to the world of images!]

Before the great pain surged over, Leone called Siri and fled into the mental world.

“What in one lizard… … .”

[Let’s try energy control.]

“Okay.”

Of course, Siri’s attempt failed, of course.

[This energy has nothing to do with divine power. It is out of control.]

“great. It’s as expected so far. It’s strange to be in control. What about purification?”

[Available.]

But at this time, Bixby intervened.

[Me, Master.]

“uh? why?”

[Do you think I can control this?]

“… … suddenly?”

[If you postpone the purification for a while, I’ll check it right away.]

It was strange that life energy was controlled by the elemental of rage.

“Is it Siri?”

[The body is thoroughly protected. There is plenty of time to spare.]

It was worth a try.

“try.”

[yes! master!]

Bixby moved right away.

And then, crazy things started to happen.

“Does this work?”

An enormous amount of energy moved to the ‘Fury Road’, the home of Bixby, and began to rotate fiercely.

[Enough!]

Leon immediately asked a question.

“Is that energy rage?”

[Oh, that’s not it. A guy similar to anger was hiding in the energy.]

“You were hiding?”

[Yes. I couldn’t find it if it wasn’t for me.]

‘Something’ similar to hidden anger.

“What exactly is it?”

[It’s a kind of anger, but this is something I can’t use. If I had to categorize it, it would be close to madness.]

“When is this coming out?”

[This is an emotion that comes out when you squeeze a creature to the limit.]

Read at noble mtl.com

Magic shamans who use corpses to squeeze energy to the limit.

“Instead of gaining a huge amount of energy, what if the energy contained emotions like this?”

[It’s not an impossible story if you’ve squeezed your soul into it.]

The stories began to fit one by one.

That was the side effect.

If the world tree is filled with frenzy and the elves are slowly affected, it makes sense for the future to run amok.

“Can you remove it?”

[Rather, I wanted to ask! This is a really precious boy. The sort of thing I can’t make… … .]

Rion cut off the lengthy explanation.

“Eat it up, and send the energy towards the World Tree!”

[Yep! thank you!]

A frenzy broke off from the energy and was absorbed by Bixby.

And this notification popped up.

[Fury Road Manager’s authority is finely expanded.]

“Expand your privileges?!”

Leon immediately moved into action.

“Hey Siri! Let me out!”

Leone came out of the mental world and approached the Guardian.

“I think I found the cause.”

“Really?”

“However, it is so minute that I think I need to absorb it a little more.”

“yes!?”

When you get a chance, you have to move.

“First, let’s purify it further.”

The timing of Fury Road’s authority expansion suddenly appeared.

‘Extend your authority! Gazua!’
