Chapter 200 - Return (3)

Three people were flying high in the sky .  They were on a bird with long wings, and it was made of white flame .  

“That is…… . ”

In the very far distance, the sky looked as if it was in tatters as it burned .   It couldn’t be explained as a natural phenomena .  It was producing overwhelmingly more power than a storm .

“Hmm .  This is the first time I’ve seen this phenomena .  However, I have this odd feeling that I’ve seen it before… . ”

“Did you have a sense of deja vu?  You speak as if you’ve seen this .  It is weird . ”

The voice next to him spoke up .  The first voice voice answered the second voice .

“Maybe I’ve seen it before?  I see .  However, something unknown to me is happening within that .  It is quite interesting .  I want to go there quickly, and I want to see what is going on . ”

“This isn’t the time to be so happy .  By the look of things, we were a step too late . ”

“It can’t be helped .  It’s damage that we have to tolerate . ”

“Aren’t you being too relaxed right now?”

“It’s just one of those things that we can’t do anything about . ”

“That point about you is still the same . ”

“Hmmm .  It’s still the same?  I should be happy about that .  I’m not sure if I’ll be the same after all of this… . ”

The first voice laughed .  The laughter was buried by the flaps of the wings .  The laughter was dispersed into the faraway blue sky .

Azell had manifested his Sky Splitter, and he had used the Sun Lightsaber .  He caused a phenomenon called the Extreme Extinction .  

Azell could be in his peak condition, yet the Extreme Extinction didn’t occur every time he used the Sun Lightsaber .   Several troublesome prerequisites had to be fulfilled for the manifestation of the Extreme Extinction .  The Sun Lightsaber had to be focused at a specific location, and high pressure had to be created .  These conditions were a must .

Azell clicked his tongue .

“I failed .  Shit . ”

He hadn’t failed in manifesting the Extreme Extinction .  However, he did fail in destroying his target .

The problem was the fact that his target had been too deep below the surface .  If his target had been in a mountain like Belrun, he would have blown up the entire mountain .  He would have let the power of the Sun Lightsword radiate outwards to cause an enormous explosion… .

However, he didn’t know what was down there .  If he caused an explosion in the deep underground, it could result in a calamitous result .  If he was lucky, it would cause earthquakes in the nearby regions .

What would happen if he was unlucky?

The earthquake could hit the Southern Border guard pretty hard, and it could cause volcanic activities .

The consequences of detonating an explosion above ground differed from causing one underground .  This was why Azell had concentrated his power to finish the Extreme Extinction .  He had no choice .

The Sun Lightsaber’s Extreme Extinction destroyed everything within its range .  However, a problem arose from the fact that the range wasn’t that large .

It destroyed part of Atein’s barrier magic, but the barrier magic had immediately reestablished itself .  

Kairen spoke when he felt the enormous amount of magic energy swell from below the ground .

“Let’s think positively .  At least, we aren’t on a fool’s errand . ”

“It might have been better if there had been nothing here . ”

Leticia grumbled .

-Open Dragon Soul!

She didn’t hesitate as she awakened her Dragon Soul .  The image of a green Dragon appeared, and the nearby temperature started to drop precipitously .

When Kairen awakened his Dragon Soul, strong winds swirled around him .  The two of them moved to the opposite ends of each other .

Arrieta spoke .

“I’ve heard the descriptions, but they are amazing .  Still, I don’t think we’ll be able to end this fight quickly… . . ”

The problem was the fact that Azell’s party couldn't fight a long battle .  They weren’t equipped to do so .  

If one extrapolated from the last incident, it seemed Almarick and Aincera didn’t really know much about the pillars .  However, it was also a possible that they became aware of the pillars through the last incident .

Azell’s party had to fight with the worst possible scenario in mind .  They had to exit this place as soon as possible after destroying the sealed being .

Yuren, who had been focusing on his Detection magic, spoke .

“I’ve located the location of the seal .  It isn’t good, Azell . ”

“The seal was broken?”

“Correct .  However, there is also a good news . ”

“What is it?”

“It is as you’ve said .  Part of the barrier magic have started attacking the being that was released from the seal . ”

The defensive magic prepared by Atein was put in place to protect the seal .  Of course, it would try to re-seal the being if the being broke free from the seal .

“That is good news .  Let’s end the tree god before he become wise to this world . ”

-Come Dragon weapon!  Chain of the Earth Dragon!

Azell manifested his Dragon weapon .  It was an enormous chain made out of some unknown black substance .

During the Dragon Demon war, this was only Dragon weapon that could go toe to toe with Reygus’ Soul Hammer .  It was like the Earth Dragon, who were capable of controlling the earth .  Azell gained the ability to freely move his chain .

Chwa-roo-roo-roohk!

It was as if the chain in Azell’s hand was dancing .  It was three times as thick as a person’s finger, and it was several hundred meters long .  It straightened out into the sky, 

Then… .

Koo-roo-roo-roong!

It arced in the air before it attacked a certain point in the ground .  It shook as it dug into the earth .

The Chain of the Earth Dragon was like an Earth Dragon .  It was capable of freely moving through the earth .  It was capable of killing any monsters that were called out by the defensive magic, and at the same time, it could create a tunnel for its allies .

Soon, darkness poured out of the large hole in the ground .

It possessed an incredible amount of magical energy, and one could see monsters forming within it .  These monsters looked familiar and unfamiliar at the same time .

Azell spoke .

“Well, let’s go . ”

His words were like a starting bell .  Azell’s party started fighting the unknown monsters .

All the immortal beings, who had lost to Atein, possessed abilities that transcended the logic of this world .  They possessed extreme power .  They all believed that their power was meant to  change the world .

It was true that the world was a mess, so they wanted to change the world into something they considered to be right .

The Undead King wanted to change everyone into an Undead, so the world would no longer suffer from death and illness .

The Steel King wanted to changed everyone into living metal .  No one would have to suffer from death or decline in health .  

Then there was the tree god… .

‘I have to bring peace to the world . ’

The god of trees wanted a world without war .  He wanted peace .  

Was nature, which was unsullied by humans, peaceful?

It wasn’t .

All beings of nature fought desperately to live .  Every being fought to live, and they tried to leave behind their progenies .

This was the case for animals and plants .  Even small creatures like bugs followed the laws of nature .  It was the survival of the fittest .

Would covering the whole world with trees bring peace?

At the very least, the god of the trees believed that .

There weren’t that many existence in nature that possessed wisdom .  Aside from humans and the Dragon Demon race, the number was extremely low .  However, they were all the source of the disorder in this world .

When strong desire and wisdom mixed, irrational results occurred .

Humans were able to imagine and carry out irrational deeds .  They were also able to have emotions .

They destroyed other species to build up their civilization, and they perverted the laws of magic . They even changed the laws of nature that had existed since the birth of the world .  For example, the relationship between the humans and the Dragons had been changed .

Both the Dragons and humans had overwhelming greed, but they now possessed the wisdom and power to carry out their greed .  This was why he was going to turn the beings of desire into trees .  Trees loved peace and harmony .  If he changed every being into trees, everything under the laws of nature would become peaceful .

‘Atein…… . ’

The tree god remembered the being that had defeated him .

The time he spent sealed was like a dream to him .  He had become part of the Great Darkness, and the fragments of thoughts from other beings brushed by his consciousness .

It had been a very peaceful sleep .

It was a sleep where he had forgotten all about his desires, humiliation and anger .  He hadn’t even had the motivation to wake up .

This was why he had been asleep in this place for a very long time .

When he realized this truth, his anger burned .

Goo-goo-goo-goo-goo!

The ground shook .

The trees on the surface responded to his will .  

He could accelerate the growth of trees accelerated by several thousand folds .

The trees under his control could move faster and stronger than animals .

The god of trees ascended to the surface using the big hole that had been created .

It happened at that moment .

Ggwah-gwah-gwah-gwahng!

A sword made out of blue lightning pierced him .

In a flash, the sword left an ugly scar on the ground, and it flew back up into the sky .  It was a devastating lightning attack .

His body was broken into pieces .

However, it was useless .

-Who are you?

The god of trees queried his attacker .  A young human male with red hair was glaring at him .  He held a blue sword that was surrounded by lightning .

“Shit .  He is called the god of trees .  It seems he is fine after having his body destroyed . ”

The red haired young man mumbled to himself .

The tree god’s body had been unbelievably easy to destroy .  However, tree roots gathered from all directions, and they coalesced to form the tree god’s body again .

He was a tree that had taken on the form of a human .  His whole body was made out of wood, and there were many branches, leaves, grass and moss covering him .  He was a strange sight to behold .

Yuren mumbled .

“It seems we were prudent in removing most of the trees here . ”

“I’m glad our work wasn’t in vain . ”

Leticia sounded tired as she spoke .

This location had been overgrown with trees .  However, an earthquake and a storm had swept through this region .  The destruction had reached a radius of several kilometers .  It was a mess .

Azell’s party had done this .  The party focused on destroying their surrounding as they fought the monsters summoned by Atein’s defensive magic .

The tree god possessed the ability to freely control trees .  There were many trees nearby, so this location would allow him to maximize his power if they hadn’t done anything .

The tree god tilted his head in puzzlement .

-You aren’t Atein .

Instead of speech, the tree god spoke through mental waves .  He looked as his surrounding as he spoke .

-Who the hell are you?  Why are they running away?

Azell was about 50 meters away as he faced off against the god of trees .

His comrades had run away as soon as they saw the god of trees had regenerated from Azell’s attack .  They were acting as if a monster was chomping at their heels .

Azell grumbled .

“If you had come out a little bit later, I would have ended you for good… .  You are making this more complicated than it has to be . ”

He had been fighting Atein’s defensive magic, so he hadn’t been able to prepare his Sun Lightsaber .  However, they had used their fight to destroy the forest .  They were successful in destroying most of the trees that could be used by the tree god .

The tree god spoke .

-You are quite smart .  Are you related to Atein?  You seem to know a lot about me .

Azell didn’t answer him .  He didn’t plan on wasting his words on the tree god .

He had to destroy the tree god as soon as possible, and he had to exit this region .  This was why he focused on his senses .

‘I see .  It seems he does have a real body . ’

The tree god had his body completely destroyed, yet the had regenerated himself through the roots of the trees .

This alerted Azell to something .  He possessed an attack called Extreme Extermination, but he wouldn’t be able to destroy his enemy if he didn’t know where to direct his attack .  If the tree god didn’t have a weak point, it would be an absolute disaster .

However, when Azell concentrated, he was able to find the nuclei of the tree god .

It was moving along the tree god’s blood vessels like blood .  Very small marbles holding his power was circulating through his body at high speeds .

‘I can kill him . ’

When his body was destroyed a moment ago, the tree god had moved the nuclei into various parts of his destroyed body .  Then he called the leftover trees to reconstruct his body .  When Azell became aware of this process, he became sure that he would be able to kill the tree god .

-Come Dragon weapons!  Unyielding Fortress! Earth Dragon’s Chain! Master of Raging Waves!

He summoned his Dragon weapons in succession, and his body was divided into several dozen clones .  He had used the Dance of the Shadows, and his clones were identical to him .  Each of them possessed a presence .  They all ran through the air .

The tree god titled his head in puzzlement .

-What an interesting trick .  A human is capable of doing such a feat?

Atein was capable of using Incarnation, and the tree god had fought against Atein .  It seemed the tree god had been sealed for a very long time .  It must have been a period in history when Atein hadn’t been able to use Incarnation yet .  Maybe, they had fought before the technique called Incarnation was created .

Koo-koo-koo-koo-koo!

The Earth Dragon’s Chain swept over the region .  A massive amount of soil surrounded the tree god, and it attacked like a tsunami .

-This is…child’s pl…… . . . aaaaa . . yyyy……?

The mental wave being emitted by the tree god was cut short .  

The sight in front of the tree god’s eyes became distorted, and he felt a terrifying amount of pressure shake him violently .  It was as if his body and mind was being assaulted by a wave .  It felt as if he was being tossed by the sea .  

It was an attack from the Dragon weapon called the Master of Raging Waves . The ‘current’ created by the Dragon weapon was able to attack physically and it was capable of blowing away the flow of magical energy .  It was capable of putting pressure on the spirit .

Azell shot above the soil .  He pointed towards the sky as he spoke .

“I don’t know if you know this . ”

It was truly a gesture full of meaning, so the tree god looked upwards .

His eyes widened .

A part of the sky was being distorted in a strange way .  It was as if an enormous drop of water was floating in the air .

-What is that?

“By looking at your reaction, you know nothing .  Your body will soon find out what it is . ”

Azell snorted as his body dissolved into light .  It had been his clone .

Then…… .

Kwah-ahhhhhhhhhh!

The enormous dimensional distortion floating in the sky changed shape .  The sunlight had been gathered from the heavens, and it became an attack that couldn’t be avoided .  The attack poured down on the tree god .
