Chapter 651 - V56C8P3 – The End Of The Quest (2/2)
The elves, protectors of the forest will regain their lost powers.
The ancient elven magic is unlocked. Affinity with spirits and fairies is heightened, allowing summoning of the spirit king and the fairy king.
New job cla.s.ses: Forest Kin, Forest Hunter, World Tree Warrior, Keeper of the Forest can be obtained.
The influence of the World Tree’s growth effect will expand the forest territory rapidly.
All elves receive the blessing of the World Tree and have heightened abilities in the forests.
Vision improved by 100%.
Movement speed increased by 30%.
Maximum health points increased by 50%.
Plant and Earth magic spells are enhanced.
The elves will gain more advanced ability effects depending on the growth stage of the World Tree. >
The Aberian forest underwent a transformation as well.
Vicious monsters thrived in Aberian Forest.
The green aura of the World Tree covered the trees and branched out endlessly to the forest.
The ash-colored gra.s.s revived and the trees bore new branches, adding to the abundance of the forest.
Herbivores began sprawling and the high elves thought to have disappeared returned.
They scavenged the tree branches on the ground and built shabby huts.
The high elf village was being established.
This was the power of the World Tree that purified Aberian Forest, one of the 10 forbidden locations!
If the World Tree grew and returned to its prime, the elves could take its branches and roots and spread the forest to anywhere in the world.
The prosperity of the forest meant that everyone knew that the elves would bring a total resurrection of their own civilization.

– I’m going to make an elf account right now.
– Elves are the way to go.
– Those who have played as elves until now won the lottery.
– The elves have so many advantages even now… Now the World Tree?
The viewers were talkative.
The World Tree had been returned home, but the quest was still unfinished.
– More earth essence is required to erect forests. The monsters must be cleared.
The World Tree a.s.signed a quest to eradicate monsters in the region with the high elves.
The a.s.sault squad members accepted the quest, but there was one more task.
The World Tree spoke to the Earth Shadow party.
– You must meet with Dragon Ratuas.
Silver Ring was astonished.
“The Blue Dragon?”
– Yes. You must retrieve an item and deliver my message.
Elrix sighed secretly.
“Hey all. You’re all going to accept this, right?”
The quest related to the dragon. The hards.h.i.+ps involved were obvious, but knowing his comrades, they had no reason to turn it down.
“Of course.”
“I’m doing this for sure.”
Elrix was the same. One disappointment, if there were any, would be that he could miss the war against Kaybern at Morata.
***
Weed resided at Morata since the day he stopped the Savior quest.
Hunting and leading the dwarves were important, but he had to plan for the war.
‘I need to consider as many scenarios as I can. The dragon has to be lured into a position favourable to us.’
The worst case was the dragon refusing to descend to the ground.
If it were to spam breaths and magic attacks from above, just who could win against it?
‘There’s no solution. Aerial fight is a guaranteed loss. If that happens, everyone needs to retreat. The only fighting chance we have is on the ground.’
Kaybern had to be dragged down somehow.
The Hermes Guild too sent contingents to a.s.sist in the construction of defensive camps.
Arkhim made a proposal while examining the map of Morata.
“Magic corps have to be stationed in several locations within the city.”
“Would magic attacks work against a dragon with high magic resistance?”
“The damage will mostly be mitigated… But there are many other spells that mages can use. They can a.s.sist warriors with flight or acceleration spells. We have many mages in the guild that are willing to fight.”
The Hermes Guild’s mages, summoners, and spirit callers were a.s.signed a building as their residence.
Gaushu, Hyler, Calcus, Gross, Crebulta and the others who excelled in Garnav Plains; the ex-commanders arrived with forces under their direct command.
Weed’s request for the Hermes Guild was 10,000 troops willing to use the Brazier of Sacrifice, but far more guild members were making preparations.
“Is there a reason for us to go this far?”
“I was also surprised to see this many volunteers.”
Arkhim smiled bitterly.
“They wished for the achievement for the dragon hunt. The mages could raise their soul level.”
“Soul level?”
“If one becomes an advanced mage, their high magic power unlocks the link to the soul. It is said that their magic level could increase and their incantations could be realized faster…”
“So, in order to raise the soul level, they have to hunt powerful monsters.”
“That’s correct. Normal monsters don’t grant it. For a mage, the dragon is the ultimate offering. If a dragon dies nearby, they could even absorb a portion of its mana.”
The job cla.s.s expected to be the most powerful when Royal Road was just released was the mage!
When there was a lack of information among players, absurd rumors about mages such as being capable of blasting an entire mountain with a single spell spread out to the community and it was rare to find someone who was not hyped up.
Correspondingly, mages were difficult at lower levels but packed boastful attacks.
The fact that magic spells were hard to learn and that mage equipment was expensive were both relieved by the indomitable destructive force of the job cla.s.s.
Presently, the mages weren’t all that popular, but the mage corp of the Hermes Guild was undoubtedly the best in the continent.
“Anyway, it will be a great a.s.set for the Hermes Guild to step up like this.”
“Thank you for addressing it.”
Arkhim and the other ex-commanders appeared before the citizens of Morata and made a public apology.
They acknowledged that they were responsible for the rise of Kaybern and that they will do everything in their power to stop the dragon.
It was an inevitable course of action given that the Hermes Guild wanted to be active even in the Central and Northern continents.
Weed did not take their apology to heart.
‘What is the point of making a grave mistake and apologizing for it later?’
Once a villain, always a villain.
Even so, if they had any worth to them, he had to exploit them. Statistically, there would always be too much sc.u.m to count in the world.
“I am rea.s.sured that the Hermes Guild is on our side.”
“Ha-ha. Let us move on from the past.”
Weed and Arkhim exchanged eye contact and grinned.
‘The idiots who tried to cut off my living…’
‘The Hermes Guild’s greatest enemy!’
