54. Purification Forest
[The knowledge of the item, ‘Draupnir (D)’ begins to shine.]
[Item, ‘Draupnir (D)’ creates a duplicate.]
Exactly 9 days after equipping Draupnir.
E-class special effect, Draupnir was duplicated due to .
With my daughter.
The eight Draupnir that originated from Shihyeon’s wrist were duplicated and fell to the floor.
The replicas were glowing yellow, not the brilliant gold of the original.
‘There are a lot.’
Kibisis kept the replicas.
Fortunately, Seo Young-woo, Park Na-eun, and Ok-Jan were currently together.
It was a situation where I only had to go once.
‘Well. You don’t have to take care of Baek In-hwan. We’re not in a trustworthy relationship yet.’
But before handing out bracelets to his followers.
There was someone I had to give it to first.
“Did you enjoy your meal?”
“Yes. After all, Ms. Cheon Yuri has to be there.”
Sihyeon grumbled.
“They say that Mr. Cheon Tae-su only eats grass every day.”
“Haha… … Dad says that if you eat plants, your intelligence stat goes up. Although it’s only a little bit.”
“Then eat it alone. If I don’t eat meat, I get a debuff that lowers all my stats… … .”
“really?”
“That’s a lie.”
Sihyeon chuckled.
“Are you kidding me again?”
“When did I not tease you?”
“Ugh… … .”
A few days later.
Coex.
Somewhere in this huge tile-roofed house, now rebuilt in harmony with numerous flowers and plants.
After eating, Sihyeon went to the cafe with Cheon Yuri.
The two had become so close that they even joked around with each other, and for Si-hyeon, becoming close with Cheon Yu-ri was not difficult at all.
I’ve been with her for quite some time, so I know what she likes and dislikes.
Other players in Seocheon Flower Garden were having a very hard time with Cheon Yuri.
Cheon Yuri was also the daughter of Cheon Taesu, the 4th ranked person who ruled this place.
It was because she didn’t smile at all.
‘Of course, Cheon Yuri didn’t like it when she was teased like this.’
Sihyeon raised the corners of her lips as she looked at Cheon Yuri who was pouting.
‘It’s funny. How can I endure this?’
There is one reason why Cheon Yuri doesn’t smile at others.
It was because she was wary of new people.
Of course, since becoming a player, my body has been sick and my personality has become sensitive, which has played a big part.
But now she has completely cured her palsy.
I don’t know about other people, but at least when I was in front of Sihyeon, I showed my emotions so transparently.
“Oh, by the way.”
After quickly sipping an iced Americano.
[Item, ‘Kibisis (B)’ blooms.]
Sihyeon smoked a kibisis.
“I have a gift.”
“Is it a gift?”
“yes.”
[Transfer the item, ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’ to Ice Flame ‘Cheon Yuri’.]
The gift that Sihyeon gave was none other than Draupnir.
It was a replica.
“… … It’s effective, isn’t it?”
“Of course. Whose item is it?”
Cheon Yuri was surprised when he saw Draupnir.
Even if the increase in magic power was like that, the effect of reducing casting speed was truly precious.
Among the class-specific items that Cheon Yuri saw in the shop, it is something that cannot be found even in S-rank.
‘You can learn rune magic there.’
Cheon Yuri, who had the wizard class, knew how good this ‘rune magic’ was.
Rune Magic.
Unlike other magic that can be activated in the form of skills, this is a magic that can be activated immediately through engraved letters.
It had the advantage of being able to exert great power while consuming extremely little magical power.
However, since it could only be used when the letters were engraved, it was unstable as the magic could not be used if the letters were erased or distorted.
Since the runes themselves were not well known, ordinary players were not even aware of their existence.
“thank you.”
Let’s bring Draupnir.
The guy stuck to Cheon Yuri’s wrist like a magnet again, then adjusted its size on its own.
“Si-Hyeon, where on earth do you get these things… … I’m sorry I have nothing to give you.”
‘I already got an EX-grade title and an SS-grade item, but… … .’
My conscience was pricked just a little bit.
Sihyeon just coughed without saying anything.
“The food that Cheon Yuri cooks is the driving force in my life.”
“… … Please look forward to it. From now on, I will cook for you with the perfect temperature, humidity, and water using the spirits of water and fire. I received a contract offer last time… … Should I sign a contract with Dae Jang Geum?”
“Hahaha. You’re joking.”
“This isn’t a joke… … ?”
Looking at Cheon Yuri, whose eyes were wide open as if something had been unfairly done to her.
Sihyeon chuckled again.
“Okay, okay. I’ll believe you.”
“… … Something feels wrong. It feels like I’m always the one getting hurt.”
“It’s my imagination.”
After chatting with Cheon Yuri for another two hours.
Sihyeon left the place.
“Whew… … Still, it’s nice that I had some free time.”
“Gurrung!”
After giving Draupnir to Cheon Yuri and Cheon Taesu.
Sihyeon went to Seocho-gu and distributed three replicas to his followers.
Because the distance from Gangnam-gu to Seocho-gu wasn’t that far.
With Sihyeon’s agility stat, it was a breeze to get there and back.
And then when I came back like that.
[Time left until the eleventh plague: 6 hours.]
The eleventh plague was just around the corner.
‘Preparations for the eleventh disaster are complete.’
Draupnir and the newly acquired rune effects.
These two alone could have overcome the eleventh plague.
However, in the eleventh disaster, Cheon Tae-su’s role was more important than anyone else’s.
There was no need to worry, as I gave him Draupnir and even taught him the rune magic he needed to obtain.
‘Okay. Okay.’
Standing in a corner on the outskirts of the Disaster Forest.
Sihyeon looked up into the sky.
“come.”
[The eleventh plague begins.]
[The eleventh plague is ‘Ents’.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
Objective: Prevent Ents from taking root in the area.
*Once the Ent has taken root and is fully settled, the ‘Purification Rate’ increases.
*If Ent achieves a purification rate of more than 50% during the remaining time, the quest will fail to clear.
*If Ent does not reach 50% purification rate during the remaining time, the quest will be cleared successfully.
Reward: [Level +2] [B-Grade Item Exchange Ticket]
Additional rewards: Paid differently depending on contribution.
If you fail: Even after the disaster ends, the Ent Forest remains.
*Ent’s Forest cannot be destroyed outside of a catastrophe period, and any remaining Ent’s Forest will awaken during the second catastrophe.
[Time left until the end of the eleventh plague: 4 days and 12 hours.]
Oh my god.
Cracks appeared in the ground and trees with huge roots crawled out.
Ent.
A moving tree-shaped demon that looks like a giant.
It had the characteristic of actively utilizing roots and fruits.
“Nature… … .”
“The roots… … .”
At first glance, it looked like a human, but its size was beyond imagination.
Beating human players with branches and leaves.
As soon as it came out, it started to take root.
“Stop it!”
“It’s not that big, it’s just big!”
And when the players around the Disaster Forest saw this, they each took up their weapons and blocked it.
It was for clearing the main quest.
As most players have realized.
They were big, but not very strong.
But its size was overwhelming.
Kwaaaaang!
The Ent, made up of hundreds of tree trunks joined together, was nearly as large as a building.
Besides, there weren’t just one or two Ents.
Players with decent power couldn’t stop it.
“Kwaaah!”
“Attack!”
“Use fire magic!”
“The legs! Aim for the legs!”
But the survivors of Seoul are players who have overcome even the great disaster.
Now I’m not easily susceptible to attacks like this.
As Sihyeon said, I was able to overcome it smoothly by mainly using fire magic.
but.
[Warning! The Ent’s purification rate has reached 5%.]
[Warning! The purification rate of Ent has reached 6%.]
The purification rate of Ent was much faster than expected.
It was thanks to the guys finding their way around the mountain and putting down roots.
Ents who have taken root in the mountains display powers of a different dimension.
This was because the Entran Demon could attack using the surrounding trees.
To make matters worse, Ents in this state could also increase their purification rate at an insanely fast rate.
And the problem was that there were a lot of mountains on the Korean peninsula, including Seoul.
Of course, Sihyeon also knew this fact.
‘But I can’t help it. I don’t have the luxury of worrying about any place other than this Disaster Forest.’
Disaster Forest.
This is where the power of nature flows more powerfully than any other mountain or forest.
From the Ents’ point of view, it was the best prey.
“Let’s get started!”
With Cheon Tae-su’s shout.
Some of the Seocheon players put their hands on the ground.
Knock knock knock.
“Khuuuuuuk.”
Cheon Tae-su, who handles the disaster forest alone.
Blood began to flow from the corner of his eyes.
‘Uncle Cheon Tae-soo’s role is the most important.’
After the Ents take root, they release their power into the surrounding nature.
Then you can control the surrounding trees and plants.
Cheon Tae-su gritted his teeth and tried to block the Ents from sending their power.
It was thanks to him that he had control over all of the Disaster Forest.
However, the size of the Disaster Forest was so large that even the strongest of the Heavenly Kings could not stop all the Ents.
If it were before the regression, I would have collapsed from exhaustion trying to deal with the entire Disaster Forest.
It was different now.
‘Because I have an item for you.’
[The knowledge of the item, ‘Draupnir Replica (D)’ begins to shine.]
[Activate Odin’s first rune magic, ‘Rune Magic: Rune of Mental Purification (??)’.]
With the yellow light emanating from the replica of Draupnir.
Cheon Tae-su’s mind became clear.
Rune of mental purification.
A rune that temporarily increases casting speed and amplifies magical power while eliminating all negative emotions and distracting thoughts.
“Huhhhh!”
Of course, it is said that it only has about 20% of the performance of Draupnir that Sihyeon possesses.
Because the basic power of rune magic was so strong, Cheon Tae-su was able to control the entire Disaster Forest without much difficulty.
Crackle.
In the end, unlike before the return, only a very small part of the Disaster Forest came under the control of the Ents.
The Ent-tainted and non-ent-tainted Calamity Forests began to attack each other.
Kwaaaaang!
“Kwaaah!”
“Attack the Ents’ main body!”
Cheon Yuri shouted to the players.
Ultimately, what Ents need to control the surrounding plants is a main body.
If only I could somehow get rid of it, it would be worth it.
‘I’m grateful for this much.’
Sihyeon was assessing the situation with cold eyes.
Whoosh, whoosh.
From afar, Cheon Yuri was seen using flame magic centered around a seed.
‘Okay. Should I start moving too?’
[The knowledge of the item, ‘Draupnir (D)’ begins to shine.]
[Activate Odin’s 7th rune magic, ‘Rune Magic: Rune of Fire Resistance (??)’.]
Centered around the Calamity Forest and Ents engulfed in flames.
Sihyeon took a step forward.
There is only one thing that Sihyeon ordered Cheon Yuri to do.
Whether I burn to death or not.
He asked me to continue using fire magic to burn the Ents.
