Volume 16 - Chapter 1 – Part 1 (1/2)
shi+n was in Lanapacea, an elven village and Tiera’s hoe, a pillar er
shi+n and his comrades attempted to heal the tree, but eventually discovered that its corruption was planned by Crissot, Tiera’s deceased father, who had fallen under the deerer, a being that could cause the world’s destruction, appeared too
After a fierce battle, shi+n erer
Crissot was freed fro his farewell to Tiera, rose into the skies—
?
“Okay, that’s finally taken care of, so let’s handle the other issues too!”
Tiera, who had wept as she parted with Crissot and Irene’s souls, noed a very relieved expression
It looked a bit forced, as she was probably e so ht that it wasn’t the tears which made her ears look so red now
The de Crissot to further their plans
The other elves presu wild either
Reforgerer also disappeared at the sa, the factors threatening the destruction of the village were gone
Even if there were still de at the moment
“Is the World Tree okay?”
shi+n looked up at the World Tree after he heard Tiera’s words
The World Tree had absorbed the globes of light, representing Irene’s soul and possibly Crissot’s, and was now shi+ning with holy light There was no more trace of miasmic impurity shi+n just asked to be sure
“For the tie aainst you and the others What I felt is that Reforgerer consu If not, even if it was fighting against you, shi+n, it would be impossible for that unnatural amount of impurity to decrease so ht I can see that its strength was supported by y”
It was known that Reforgerer used iy source, but shi+n and the other players thought it used impurity to power up its attacks and body
shi+n thought that Tiera’s theory was probably erer was considered as a creature that consumed impurity in order to preserve the world’s balance, it was perfectly plausible
“Well, regardless of the secrets to its powers, it’s not an opponent I want to face ever again…”
shi+n whispered to hirade weapons rendered useless during the battle
shi+n could coerer only because the latter wasn’t in its complete form and shi+n himself was powered up to levels far beyond his past self
Without the “double stats” title, in particular, he wouldn’t have been able to cut the beast’s neck
The casualties were just a feeapons
Co wounded, it was nothing It was nothing, but—
“If it happens again, it’ll be really bad…”
Even if they did so through using Crissot, who belonged to a lineage of priestesses, the deerer nonetheless
They knew of a way to do it If they , no one could stop it
They couldn’t rely completely on the mysterious power that Yuzuha mentioned, which supposedly led shi+n to the World Tree when it was in danger
They couldn’t say with confidence that it wouldn’t happen again There was also no guarantee that a possible “next tierer in its complete forrade weapons needed to be sacrificed If it became complete, who knehat it would take to stop it
Even if shi+n was capable of forging Ancient-grade weapons,skill could be, weapons couldn’t be forged without materials
“『True Moon』should be…”
“Still broken If Sety pours her power in it, we should be able to go to the next step, though”
As shi+n had prioritized curing Schnee’s y in 『True Moon』 yet
He didn’t knohat exactly would happen after she did, but shi+n was sure that it operated in a different uess we have to take care of the loose ends here first The governh ever since we came here I haven’t noticed any action by them…”
“The deoverner Otherwise the army surely would have responded to a situation like this”
So wild
At the very least, the governerer’s appearance
There were military troops other than the warriors of the World Tree caretaker clans, so even if the eency happened suddenly, it would be obvious for theht have seen shi+n’s battle against Reforgerer…”
Tiera sounded anxious
Even if they didn’t know about Reforgerer, its massive size and the power of its beams were clear even at a distance She orried that they erous individual, as he took such a monster head-on
“I went all out, after all…”
shi+n had used Ancient-grade weapons and advanced skills without restraint It was a battlefield that not even Chosen Ones would dare approach
“I don’t knohat kind of people there are in this country…if anything happens, can we use Schnee’s faet aith it?”
Their ht be able to get away by overwhelh force, but it was the very last resort
“shi+n is Schnee’s companion She would never associate with someone who turns violent for no reason He’s an elite warrior even a advanced Chosen Ones…if we put it like this, I believe they will respect us instead of getting any bizarre ideas”
For the average person and Chosen Ones with only relatively high stats, advanced Chosen Ones — especially those on the level of Schnee and the others — were on a coth levels were too different, so they had no means to even compare thenitude just happened, though Soht request for such powerful warriors to stay in the country”
shi+baid then turned towards Ordoss and the others
They had not seen everything, but they had seen enough to realize how out of the ordinary shi+n was
Especially if Ordoss, captain of the protectors, talked about shi+n’s feats, the king or other related parties ht ask for him to stay
The same could be said for Lyuarantee that the deht request for shi+n to be her personal guard, or maybe even husband
“Indeed, we have witnessed Sir shi+n and Lady Schnee’s strength firsthand If they would choose to re for all of us And aainst that ht be some who could resort to thelife experience, Ordoss correctly understood what shi+baid ie of protecting the World Tree, not all of them were pure and honest, as the current incident clearly showed
“Lady Schnee, however, never rele place Sir shi+n and his party are also adventurers who travel often to fulfill all sorts of requests Keeping them here would be difficult Additionally, I doubt that the army’s late start allowed theht the monster in a more visible manner, so if we say that its defeat was at her hands, withoutSir shi+n’s exploits, the top brass will not be able to sayus capable of stopping Sir shi+n”
Ordoss did not simply deny it, but said it in a way to admonish the other warriors
The warriors, while reacting in slightly different ways, all nodded in agreement
In the end, as Ordoss said, if shi+n’s party said they would leave, there was no one that could stop them The warriors had seen ith their own eyes
“In any case, I believe that cal down the people’s discontent is our first priority”
“Let us go together until we reach the residence, then Even if the deht not disappear so quickly”
“I could not ask you to do that…no, I see If the situation was like before, Lady Lyies for the trouble, but please lend us your strength for a while longer”
Ordoss bowed and the other warriors also kneeled and lowered their heads If the warriors and the priestesses showed the was over
“Let us go, then”
The warriors forroup at the center, and started walking Lymliss and Lina were able to speak, but they were physically spent, so they were riding on Kagerou
shi+n used his map and detection skills toin the city
He couldn’t directly see the scanned locations, so he couldn’t be completely sure, but that was all he could do at thepresences
The closer they went to the town, theto the warrior class increased
Everyone looked concerned: they were not panicking, probably because they saw Reforgerer collapse
After all, the Divine Beast’s massive body could easily be seen as far as the city
“ Sir Warrior Chief could you tell us exactly what happened?”
