80. Episode 80

After Durandal was placed in Seun’s hand, the direction of the battle changed 180 degrees.

Kang, Kang!

“That sword is hard!”

“It’s very strong!”

Her rocks were no longer a threat to Sewoon.

It was because unlike before, where he had managed to fight back despite the damage to the blade, he was cutting the rock without any hesitation.

It wasn’t just cutting, it was completely cutting the rock.

The sword that split the rock, Durandal.

As the name suggests, it splits rocks, so the blade does not get damaged at all.

At least Riel tried to wield his cane, taking advantage of Seun’s gap to block the rock… … .

Caang!

“Quit!”

“it hurts!”

“Dangerous! Dangerous!”

After crossing the blow with Durandal, she took a big step back, sensing danger.

‘That sword is dangerous.’

Branch of Yggdrasil.

Although different from the world tree she lived in, Yggdrasil was also a great world tree that stood tall in one dimension.

The branches of such a tree trembled with a single blow and tried to escape.

If the spirits hadn’t protected it, the branches might have gotten sharp scratches.

“Did you get that sword as a reward for the tutorial?”

“No way. I was already looking forward to what would come out as the first prize, right?”

“Then, did you receive it from the Constellation? There’s no way you can get a sword like that in a tutorial!”

“Was there?”

I couldn’t believe it.

It wasn’t a reward from the tutorial, it wasn’t a weapon bestowed by a constellation, and there was such a strong weapon among the weapons obtained during the tutorial!

It was all the more unbelievable because she was the one who worked hard to collect public value and found a few hidden dungeons.

But, what if you don’t believe me? Right in front of her eyes, Sewoon’s sword was blocking her attack.

Now was the time to adapt to reality rather than deny it.

‘Still, I have an advantage!’

The first move to subdue it in one blow failed, but that was literally the first move.

There are plenty of countermeasures in case of failure.

While staying at the entrance waiting for Sewoon, Riel conceived of various strategies while recalling the sparring with Sewoon.

Thanks to this, she subdued Sewoon without hesitation.

pop!

Excellence – Kwadeuk!

Whoa!!

The spirits began to exert their power in earnest.

The rain and wind raged fiercely, and flames spewed out from the cracks in the broken earth.

Truly a natural disaster.

Inside, Sewoon wielded a Durandal and danced dangerously.

A normal player would have been out of mana without lasting even a minute if they were constantly pouring out attacks like this, but she was different.

– The blessing of abundance surrounds you!

Constellation, Fifth Day. A power bestowed by Freyja, the goddess of beauty and love, as well as the goddess of fertility.

It was as if all the surrounding nature, such as vegetation and wind, came together to give her strength.

Thanks to this, mana constantly surged from her body, and thanks to that power, she was able to sustain such a powerful attack without wavering.

Blessings are also blessings, but her mental strength, which is not disturbed in the slightest while using the four spirits at the same time, is truly amazing.

Responsibility with the wishes of his own people on his back. That emotion was holding her spirit.

But why?

‘Why doesn’t it collapse?’

Even in the midst of violent natural disasters, Sewoon did not waver in the slightest.

Besides, a strange feeling of incongruity had stabbed her heart from before.

Is it an illusion?

While enduring such a sense of incongruity, it was her four spirits that turned doubt into certainty.

“Boo… … .”

“I have no strength.”

“Riel, I’m having a hard time.”

“I’m sleepy!”

There was no such thing as physical strength for a spirit without a body.

They are nature itself. If only mana was supplied, they were not tired even if they exerted their strength all night long.

In fact, this was the first time Riel had heard the word ‘difficult’ during the long and long time spent with the four spirits.

The incident did not end with the spirits’ complaints.

‘The power has weakened!’

A natural disaster that struck without hesitation.

The vibration of the cracked earth stops, and the flames fade. The wind that used to blow sharply and gently rustled like a gentle breeze, and even the rain that poured like a shower thinned like drizzle.

Now, even to say ‘attack’ is shabby.

Naturally, Sewoon, who was blocking the attack, also lowered his sword.

“Is it my turn now?”

Sewoon’s legs that say so… … .

“Nonsense!”

Sylph’s wind, a power that could never be used by non-spirituals, was blowing.

* * *

-The eyes of envy begin to stare at ‘Liel Refrain’.

When I used the power of envy, I couldn’t understand the power properly at first. Like the power of gluttony, the fangs didn’t appear, and like the power of greed, the treasure house didn’t open.

It was just that I could feel the terrifying ‘eyes’ going down my spine, but I couldn’t see anything.

‘There must be something.’

It is possible to escape Riel’s attack and swing the sword at her, but only then will the goal of confirming the power of jealousy be defeated.

Because of this, Sewoon silently received her attack in the face of natural disasters.

Fortunately, thanks to Durandal’s grip, it wasn’t too difficult to parry the attack.

While receiving the attack, feeling the grip of Durandal, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

‘Attack… … Are you weak?’

I could feel that her attack, which had been raging wildly, was gradually weakening.

If you only see this, you might think, ‘Is Riel tired?’, but there was one more incident.

‘This is definitely the power of possessing spirits.’

Seun looked at the power in his body.

The wind of the sylphs weakly rustling on the bridge made the movement quicker, and the power of the gnomes revealed on the armor prevented natural disasters.

In addition to that, hot flames were burning in Durandal, and transparent water streams swayed around the body, supporting Sewoon’s movements.

Finally, as he looked at the message that appeared before his eyes, Sewoon perfectly understood the power of jealousy.

-The eyes of envy are jealous of the spirit power of ‘Riel Refrain’.

– Takes the power of the fire spirit.

– Takes the power of the water spirit.

Power of Jealousy. Its ability was to ‘take away the enemy’s strength’.

There was no clear explanation, and since it was the first time I had used it, I couldn’t know the details.

‘Jealousy’ is a word that means feeling envious of others. It was the type of ability that best suited its name.

‘As expected, it’s the power of a demon god.’

A power that does not simply increase one’s own power, but takes away the power of the opponent. A power that applies both a buff and a debuff at the same time.

This power will be especially strong the more you deal with strong enemies.

The unfortunate thing is that the target of the authority is only one person.

‘Like the Power of Gluttony, this might improve the more you use it.’

There was no way that the limits of the Demon God’s authority were this much.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just like the power of gluttony was initially assigned to a single object, but later it was able to target the entire area.

The Power of Jealousy may also be able to target an entire area.

In that case, even if the level of debuff applied to each enemy is insignificant, the power gathered and the number of buffs applied to Sewoon will be enormous.

-The constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Envy’ smiles lightly at you who recognize its authority.

As soon as the analysis of the Power of Jealousy was finished, the shaking of the earth, which had been resounding like an earthquake, died down, and the stormy rain and wind calmed down.

When his eyesight was cleared, he saw Riel, who was unable to hide his bewildered expression.

It seems that he noticed that he had been subjected to the power of jealousy.

“Is it my turn now?”

“Nonsense!”

Whether it made sense or not, it didn’t matter. Since I had already figured out the Power of Jealousy, there was no need to engage in further sparring with her.

Kang, Caang!

Even though he was using spirit possession, in the first place, only in close combat, Sewoon was one step ahead.

Besides, her elemental magic was greatly weakened by the power of jealousy.

Conversely, Sewoon’s body was permeated with a spirit possessed similar to the one that shook her body.

She tried to resist somehow with the overflowing mana from the blessing of abundance, but… … .

“I think we’ve already won?”

Even so, the first few numbers were just that.

Durandal touched the scruff of her neck, and the short but fruitful sparring ended.

“… … I lost.”

“Good idea.”

From what I’ve seen so far, I didn’t think she would stab me in the back of the head, so Sewoon tucked Durandal into the waistband.

Even though the tutorial was over, she didn’t enter the tower to wait for Seun, so I expected a more violent reaction, but she seemed to accept the reality sooner than expected.

“I’ll admit it. you are stronger than me … … You deserve number one.”

Where did that confident attitude go at first? His shoulders drooped.

I only fought because I asked to fight first, but when it came out like that, I felt sorry for nothing.

“But next time I won’t lose.”

After she finished speaking, she turned her back without hesitation.

There is no reason to stay here any longer.

However, Sewoon thought differently. At first, he didn’t think much of it, but through this sparring, he recognized the possibility of something in her.

‘I said that Riel’s goal was to plant a world tree.’

world tree. A gigantic tree that connects the sky, the ground, and the underground through its roots. A sacred tree called by various names such as Yggdrasil, Geonmok, and Shindansu.

It was also a tree that Seun, who had explored almost all areas of the tower, could not find.

‘What if the power of the world tree was born in the tower?’

The World Tree is not just a simple tree.

As it is also called the water of life, it is a symbol of the origin of all universes and the source of life.

Growing such a tree in the tower was not a simple meaning.

The power flowing from the World Tree will make the players stronger, and that power will also affect the constellations.

Especially the constellations based on the myth of the World Tree.

It was a very coveted existence for Se-Woon, who had to block the attack of the outer, following the prevention of the Shinma War.

and… … .

“for a moment.”

“… … Why?”

“You entered the tower to find the ‘Eternal Garden’, right?”

“U-how?”

Before the return, Riel Refrain couldn’t find it until the end, and the ‘Eternal Garden’, which is recorded like a legend in numerous literature… … .

“I might be able to guide you there.”

“… … !”

When Seun moved from tower to tower as an adventurer and explorer, the Garden of Eternity was one of the hidden areas found through the guide map of the journey.

In other words, he was the only player among the players who knew the location of the ‘Eternal Garden’ before and after the return.
