Novel Will Be Taken Down on 17 May or Earlier Chapter 208 - Lucky Day (4)

Argentress looked at his own body.

 

His hands and feet were shaking violently.

 

He desperately tried to move them.

 

He couldn’t move as if he was frozen.

 

“Argentress-nim…?”

 

It wasn’t just him.

 

All his compatriots were frozen in place and unable to move.

 

Including the elf who was pulling the bowstring.

 

‘What the hell is that?’

 

Argentress’ eyes turned to Haiel.

 

At first, he thought it was a spirit king.

 

The only spirits who dared to stand in his way were the king of spirits. But it was questionable. Why would the spirit king care about the affairs of the continent?

 

Fortunately, his misunderstanding did not last long.

 

– “I, Haiel, order you according to the command of my Master.”

 

…Her master?

 

The title of king was not given for nothing.

 

A king was a being who truly reigned.

 

However, if he looked at the force radiating from her.

 

The spirit might be higher than the spirit king.

 

There was a master whom she truly served?

 

‘There is no way such a person exists on the continent.’

 

That couldn’t be.

 

His hard-earned judgment was once again wrong.

 

Argentress’ pupils dilated.

 

– “According to the hierarchy of blessings. Stop.”

 

The hierarchy of blessings..?

 

No magic or the nature abilities of spirits could dare to restrain them. That was only natural. As he said, this was the power of their foolish mother, the World Tree.

 

“Oh my.”

 

With stinky smell.

 

The demon, the Seven Deadly Sin, turned his eyes that were full of curiosity.

 

He dared to wave his hand around in front of Argentress’s body.

 

“Hey, you really stop. There’s no way our arrogant guests would just obediently follow orders to stop like this…”

 

The demon raised the corner of his mouth wickedly.

 

“I don’t know what it is, but I’ve caught it. Your weakness.”

 

How dare he.

 

The elves were just like a meal, a transaction, and an eternity.

 

Argentress wanted to beat up the demon and cut off his head.

 

But he couldn’t move.

 

“Who are you?”

 

All he could do was struggle to speak to Haiel.

 

However, the murderous intent contained in those short words was absolutely atrocious.

 

It even made the great evil speechless.

 

“Hey, I don’t know which one of us is the demon.”

 

However, she was Hoyeol’s alter ego.

 

Even though Haiel had a small body, she wasn’t intimidated at all.

 

She had the most upright posture and the most consistent expression.

 

Haiel replied.

 

“My master has not permitted you to ask questions.”

 

“?”

 

“You do not have the right to ask.”

 

To be exact, it was a retort.

 

“How dare you…”

 

Argentress’ murderous intent became even stronger.

 

It was at a level that made even the smiling great evil take notice.

 

However, Haiel only answered with a lofty voice.

 

“Elf, why have you faced the great evil?”

 

“!!”

 

Argentres, as well as the great evil, was shocked by that question.

 

From their perspective, Haiel had just appeared out of thin air a moment ago. Not only did she understand the meal, but she was also able to understand his true identity as a great evil all at once.

 

“Tsk. Even if I’ve lived a long time. I’m not a celebrity.”

 

Even the great evil was wary of Haiel’s extraordinaryness.

 

But the thing that bothered him more than anything else.

 

It was the fact that there was a master who was served by such a ridiculous spirit.

 

‘Where are you?’

 

Argentress awakened his senses.

 

The person she called master must be watching everything.

 

An elf’s senses could even notice the dwarf in the high sky.

 

Although he was on edge, he paid close attention.

 

‘He’s not here’.

 

As always, there were only evil eyes floating in the sky.

 

There was no other presence.

 

Haiel opened her mouth.

 

“My Master has not allowed you to have miscellaneous thoughts either.”

 

The moment she said those words, his idle thoughts disappeared.

 

“Answer Master’s questions.”

 

His mouth opened before he knew it.

 

“…It was to restore eternal life.”

 

It was humiliating.

 

If he could.

 

In such a humiliation, he would have cut his own tongue for saying these words.

 

But thanks to that, he was certain.

 

“Then you have pursued something futile.”

 

“…?”

 

“Because my Master has the blessing of the World Tree that you desire.”

 

So, it was like that.

 

It was her master.

 

That person was the one who had taken their mother’s blessing from them.

 

At that moment, Argentress made a decision.

 

Now that he knew the whereabouts of the blessing of the first World Tree.

 

The power of the demon was no longer needed.

 

‘All we have to do is find him somehow.’

 

Argentress didn’t know how that person managed to hide himself until now.

 

But in the end, the man must be on the Arcana continent.

 

He could bear the trouble of scouring the whole continent.

 

However.

 

“Wait a minute, having the business disrupted is a slightly different story.”

 

The great evil was watching.

 

The Seven Deadly Sin, Gluttony.

 

He almost achieved his goal.

 

Everything went wrong just because of one spirit that suddenly appeared?

 

“I’m sorry, dear guests.”

 

Gluttony eyed the elves.

 

“Unauthorized menus will be discarded.”

 

So don’t play tricks and just watch carefully.

 

Gluttony approached Haiel, emitting a foul stench.

 

His mouth widened hideously as if torn.

 

The true nature of the great evil hidden behind human skin began to leak.

 

“I guess that discipline doesn’t work for me.”

 

The World Tree.

 

Gluttony and his brothers.

 

They had never had a mother like that.

 

“…?”

 

However, Gluttony couldn’t reach Haiel.

 

Because someone stood in Gluttony’s way.

 

That person was Urus, who was watching the situation.

 

Clink–

 

Urus lifted his iron arm.

 

Gluttony paused.

 

‘A human?’

 

But the energy felt from him was beyond human.

 

No way, was this guy a transcendent like Shegwin?

 

Argentress was equally shocked.

 

‘…I didn’t notice him?’

 

While his nerves were on edge.

 

Urus was definitely within the range of his senses.

 

Still, he didn’t notice the man.

 

The man intentionally hid his presence.

 

That meant this was a purposeful intrusion.

 

Elf, great evil, transcendent.

 

The moment they finally faced each other.

 

Urus opened his mouth.

 

“Whether you are an elf or a spirit, anyone is fine.”

 

His next words made Argentress certain.

 

“Please tell me the location of the World Tree.”

 

He had to slaughter them all.

 

*

 

I looked into the [Evil Eye’s telescope].

 

It had become a complete mess.

 

Even if I could control the elves with the [Hierarchy of Blessing].

 

There was nothing I could do about the great evil and Urus.

 

I was glad, though.

 

‘Well done, Diend.’

 

The Imperial Army led by the Emperor.

 

They succeeded in rescuing Polestar’s residents and turning the reins to Antonium. One of the great evil’s plans was prevented.

 

By the way, those guys were really petty.

 

‘So what if they all live up to their name?’

 

You did well in that regard, Haiel.

 

She was really like Grandfel.

 

Thanks to Haiel stepping forward without a second thought.

 

I was able to completely grasp the situation by just watching.

 

First of all, the elves were really consistent.

 

“You’re longing for a meaningless life that has no pride.”

 

Eternal life?

 

I wanted to give back what I received.

 

No, it was terrible to imagine that I would suffer from this dark history for the rest of my life. What was the point of living eternal life at the cost of living an incomparably ugly dark history?

 

I really didn’t want to say this, but…

 

‘Your mother…’

 

No, the World Tree.

 

She took away the blessing.

 

These guys even made the violent Elsidore look gentle.

 

Their temper was a mess.

 

Urus was very much the same.

 

‘I never thought his goal was the World Tree.’

 

When the elves and the great evil had a conversation, he didn’t seem to care much. As soon as Haiel appeared and the talk of the World Tree came out, Urus stepped into the battlefield.

 

‘His damn love for the elixir.’

 

The World Tree was the mother of all things.

 

It would be safe to say that the energy inherent in the World Tree was an elixir.

 

It was just that no one had ever dared to chew up the World Tree.

 

However, it was a different story for Urus.

 

Just looking at the anecdotes in the book, Urus’ madness for elixirs was so great that it wouldn’t be surprising if he chewed the world tree down to its roots.

 

‘He’s incredibly twisted.’

 

It seemed no one had any intention of stepping down easily for their own reasons.

 

At this rate, a head-on collision was only a matter of time.

 

If that happened, it would be truly a major event.

 

It was only a matter of time until a rupture was created.

 

I looked at the telescope.

 

[A little luck comes into your hands.]

 

[You temporarily become proficient in operating a telescope.]

 

[increase the duration of the effect.]

 

… You give me a disease and a medicine ^[1] Give a disease and then a medicine = To do harm to someone and then pretend to help him/her. ?

 

Anyway, the significant increase in luck truly helped. In fact, it wouldn’t have been surprising if the telescope’s duration had ended by the time the Imperial Army arrived at Polestar.

 

Fortunately, the eyes were still wide open.

 

Yeah, if you have a conscience.

 

Don’t even think about closing your eyes, telescope.

 

‘That battlefield is too hard for Hiel.’

 

It might be different if she were with me.

 

Haiel wasn’t used to fighting.

 

It was impossible for Haiel to participate in that three-way match.

 

‘It may be a different case if she uses the hierarchy of blessing wisely.’

 

This was Haiel who closely resembled Grandfel.

 

Could she use her wit like me, Lee Hoyeol, to take advantage of the hierarchy?

 

In the end, I had no choice but to watch.

 

“It is more efficient to handle unscheduled meetings all at once.”

 

…Even in this situation, you can still speak.

 

Damn it, do I have no choice but to accept the variable called ruptures?

 

Let’s try to come up with a strategy for it at 4x speed.

 

I should send telepathy to Marcelo right now…

 

Crackle–!

 

“…?”

 

Indeed.

 

Up until that point, I had overlooked it.

 

I forgot for a moment.

 

The system didn’t lie.

 

Through such a system.

 

The luck effect significantly increased.

 

Crackle–!

 

A thunderstorm poured down on the Arcana Continent.

 

Soon, the continent’s sky begins to split.

 

To be precise, It began to tear apart.

 

Something huge wriggled out of the gap in that dimension.

 

Then, soon, the figure fully revealed itself.

 

It was a dragon.

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

The dragon’s cry echoed throughout the continent.

 

The cries were meant to suffocate them.

 

It even stopped Gluttony and Urus, who seemed ready to fight right away.

 

“Hmm.”

 

The old dragon, Eunaxus, looked down on the devastated Arcana Continent.

 

And then with his huge pupils, he looked at the elf.

 

To be precise, at Agentress.

 

Eunaxus said.

 

“Argentress.”

 

Mother.

 

“My foolish brother.”

 

How come?

 

He could see that she had taken away their blessing from them.

 

Eunaxus scolded like thunder.

 

“Have you still not realized Mother’s will!?”

 

Dragon, a creature that ruled over all things.

 

Because he was directly exposed to the dragon’s roar without his mother’s blessing.

 

Argentress’ whole body shuddered.

 

But thanks to that, he was able to snap out of that damn hierarchy.

 

Ahem, Argentress cleared his throat.

 

“Shut up, Eunaxus. You lizard bastard..”

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

So the name of the elf who seemed to be their leader was Argentres…

 

That Argentress was the younger brother of the dragon, Eunaxus?

 

Was this an unexpected birth secret?

 

Wait, so what happened to the family tree?!

 

World Tree.

 

Dragon.

 

Elf.

 

And…

 

Me and Hiel?

 

For a moment, I thought of a ridiculous possibility.

 

‘…Is the hierarchy also valid for dragons?’

 

I was not sure about that.

 

Even if they were brothers, there was a possibility that the dragons would not have received the blessing of the World Tree. In fact, Elsidore also said that the blessing was exclusive to elves.

 

Moreover.

 

‘No, that’s not what’s important right now.’

 

As the youngest member of the World Tree’s family tree, I just wanted to ask.

 

Oldest brother, stop them!

 

I, Lee Hoyeol.

 

Had three older sisters.

 

I was at least confident at persuading someone.

 

Eunaxus shouted even more furiously.

 

“If you don’t understand, I will scold you until you do.”

 

It appeared.

 

[Old dragon, Eunaxus, appears.]

 

A full-fledged appearance message.

 

Instead of stopping them, he really came to fight.

 

It was not without reason that people said an older sister was better than an older brother.

 

‘Now that it’s come to this.’

 

It couldn’t be helped.

 

Let’s give it a try, Haiel.

 

Whether the [Hierarchy of Blessing] is also valid for Eunaxus or not!

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

Haiel stood on the bridge of Eunaxus’ nose and spoke.

 

“According to the hierarchy of blessing, I order you.”

 

“…?”

 

“Calm down, Eunaxus.”

 

“…!”

 

Then the thunder subsided.
