Chapter 21 Part3 (2/2)

[It's filled with trees! It's overfloith life!]

By the ti life energy and found the orchard filled to the brirapevines

The two sources of such refreshi+ng energy htness To be more specific, the Dryads' voices prickled his ears, to the point that it was unbearable

[They're really alive!]

[Ah, there really were living trees left!]

The girls, upon discovering the lines of trees eround orchard, each cradled one of the trees and expressed joy with their entire bodies The grapevines selected by these Dryads eor than before

[These children are so healthy!]

[How could they be so pure again when they were dirtied by human hands? This is]

[An elf It's an elf!]

As expected, these Dryads, as tree specialists, quickly figured out what had happened to these trees Then, upon discovering Lee shi+n Woo, who had just come down, the Dryads latched onto him and asked

[Paul Zero, were you an elf before you died?]

[I had that feeling about you!]

”Nope, this place was already like this by the tiht be an elf still living in the Empire]

[I want to meet that elf!]

But that elf wasn't born in the Empire Lee shi+n Woo s to suck out any re curse within them just in case

The Dryads obediently allowed Lee shi+n Woo to do so and eventually, he purified them completely

”Noe're finished”

[We're all done?]

”Yeah You guys can just keep living here now”

[Ah]

Lee shi+n Woo had safely moved them to their new ho trees He'd also blocked off the entrance so that not just anyone could enter, and had absorbed the curse fro whatever he wished in return

[Thank you sous, Paul Zero]

[But we don't knoe can do for you]

[We could've been a lot more helpful back when there was much more of our kind]

This was after Lee shi+n Woo had explained to the about a considerable nu the Eazed at him as if he were a swindler, but that didn't concern him

[Paul Zero]

Then, Sinea stepped forward She had picked the toughest and rapevine as her own, and perhaps because of that, the grapevine was already starting to ey

[You're our savior We can never fully repay you for that, but ant to repay you in any way possible We must]

”Mm”

They would probably look favorably upon hi a reward, but Lee shi+n Woo didn't respond like that Because if he lied too et suspicious of hi I wanted fro in our power to help you]

Sinea was actually happy that he told her he wanted soullible, as it seemed like they would be fooled by anyone But even now, Lee shi+n Woo couldn't coh praise

”I told you that I was trying to purify the Eht?”

[Yeah To be honest I think it'll be difficult]

”There are people who are helping ht now Some of them are undead, and some of them aren't”

[]

They already had Lee shi+n Woo as an exa that, Sinea momentarily stood still and slowly nodded her head

[You're saying that there's still hope in this world like these living trees that have survived in this seeuys to be a part of that hope”

[M froside him Sinea murmured to herself It wasn't an easy decision as the representative of the Dryads However

”Just staying here is enough for noever, there may be a day when I need your help You just need to help out a bit then”

[Hoo]

Sinea anguished over it, but could ulti that all the Dryads wanted anyway

[I as well as everyone else want to purify the E that way”

[I'm the one who's thankful]

Lee shi+n Woo stretched his hand out first, and Sinea stiffly grabbed onto it It was truly a surreal sight

”Ah, and now that youhands, Lee shi+n Woo took a step back; he suddenly re and searched his inventory He took out a stone radiating a turbid green It was none other than the spirit stone that contained the power of the Dryads

[T-That's!]

”I kno you feel, but just wait a sec”

When he'd first acquired it, he thought he wouldn't be able to do anything to it, but now that he could suck out the curse with Jin's ability, it was a different story As soon as Lee shi+n Woo glanced at Jin, he shrugged his shoulders and nodded his head

[Does that contain our radually becoht've been difficult for Lee shi+n Woo and Jin had the spirit stone been an ordinary item, but because it was an item that contained the power of spirits they'd encountered already, it wascurse within

'Wow, Blessing of Death has increased again! Now I can die five tih the darkness that perained orously draw out the curse Ultimately, the spirit stone returned to its perfect, clean state in less than a fewthe power of the Dryads]

Firstly, the itereen spirit stone was filled with so much elemental power that it felt like it would explode at any h it felt like he could absorb it hiive it to the person who could absorb it best, rather than absorb it just to increase hisit to s to your people”

[Ah]

Sinea accepted it with tre hands He'd soic within the spirit stone harht!

Lee shi+n Woo watched closely as Sinea absorbed the ic from the spirit stone and was reborn The other Dryads also silently approached and watched without saying a word It seeh

[Lv6 Dryad Princess - Sinea]

When the spirit stone's light disappeared and Sinea could be seen once again, the spirit stone no longer remained in her hands

But the fact reed, as well as her power; the power she e that the spirit stone hadn't disappeared in vain

[Thank you so e in her physique, but she possessedclearer As she was composed of mana, her dress became more splendid He supposed that that was proof that she was a higher level spirit than the others

[We're ill keep our pro with effervescence and happiness He could tell how she was feeling purely through her voice As expected, these spirits really were messed up Lee shi+n Woo inwardly muttered

[Even if we die at the end of it, ill always]

”No, it'd be pointless if you died, so you don't have to go that far”

Sinea declared as she gazed more deeply at Lee shi+n Woo, and Lee shi+n Woo replied hu as planned'
