God’s Natural Enemy, Returns Episode 070

55. Elder Ent (2)

“What is this?”

-I, the elder of the Ents, Jurey. I dedicate my entire body to the fallen demon.

“… … .”

Sihyeon looked at Jurey and smiled to herself.

‘Where did this kid learn that joke… … .’

Ent Elder Jurey.

This guy’s character was clear.

Cunning, treachery.

Jurey.

This guy was a man without integrity, considering he was an old tree that had come to life and become a demon.

“Are you going to betray me right away because I look strong?”

-You misunderstand! Didn’t I just stay still when we fought Eloah? From the beginning, I was loyal only to you, the fallen demon… .

“Ugh. What more can I say?”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

Of course, I didn’t believe in Jurey.

Sihyeon saved the guy’s life first.

This guy was useful in the eleventh plague.

“Jurey.”

-Give me the order.

“The leaf of the World Tree. Do you have it?”

-……That’s right.

Jurey is a division commander-level demon in charge of the eleventh disaster.

The high elves who handled this guy gave him special powers.

The power was the leaves of the world tree.

“Hand it over.”

-Oh, I understand. Could you please wait a moment?

Soon, Jurey began to rummage through his leaves using numerous tree trunks.

And while you’re at it,

Sssssss.

So elaborate and slow that the average player wouldn’t even notice.

The Ents gathered.

‘also.’

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth when she saw that.

‘As soon as I say that, he prepares to strike me with his sword.’

I was pretending to look for the leaves of the world tree.

Sihyeon knew.

That guy was going to hit me in the back of the head right away.

-The leaves… are here!

Finally, what Jurey took out was a huge leaf shining green.

It was clear to see the magic and vitality felt there.

The World Tree in another world is protected and guarded by the combined efforts of High Elves, Dark Elves, and Blue Elves.

The world tree, Lienatree.

It was that leaf.

-Hahahaha. Okay, now.

Jurey burst out laughing.

-Turn around.

Kwajijijik!

Numerous rhizomes covered the vision.

-Everything is… … .

-For the elders and nature… … .

Tzuzuzu, that is.

As the Ents around him turned to dust and disappeared, Jurey’s stem grew stronger and stronger.

[Warning! The Ent Elder’s bondage begins.]

[This bondage is unavoidable.]

Without any chance for Sihyeon to escape.

Roots and stems that originated from the Ents wrapped around his body.

Although they are just simple tree roots and trunks, they are filled with life force and magic and are a substance dozens of times stronger than steel.

Just holding it in felt like my skin was being ripped off and all my muscles were being destroyed.

‘It would have been quite a struggle if it hadn’t actually been for the fallen glory.’

-Hahahahahaha! You stupid human!

Jurey shouted.

-I know you know something, but to covet the leaves of the World Tree? How foolish and stupid.

“… … .”

-From the moment you see the leaves of the World Tree with your own eyes, you have no chance of winning!

In the eleventh plague, the Ent Elders had special powers.

S-rank skill, ‘World Binding’.

This skill could bind any being it targeted.

Although it is an S-rank skill, if the conditions are met, it shows binding power that is no less than that of an EX-rank skill.

That was the situation now.

The first of those conditions is that ‘the opponent will destroy the soul of a high elf.’

The second was ‘the opponent will see the leaves of the world tree’.

-Hahaha. I was lucky. I never thought that both of these conditions would be met.

Seems like a good feeling.

Jurey laughed heartily.

-Well, now that you’re bound by the world, you can’t do anything. Hehe. What can you do when you’re trapped there? You stupid human. I’ll put tree trunks all over your body and suck out all your life force and strength… … .

[The knowledge of the item, ‘Draupnir (D)’ begins to shine.]

[Activate Odin’s 4th rune magic, ‘Rune Magic: Rune of Escape (??)’.]

-uh?

In the following situation.

Jurey opened his mouth stupidly.

-What, what is it?

The fallen demon, Lee Si-Hyeon.

A golden light appeared on his bracelet, and he came out, free from his bonds, as if nothing had happened.

“How stupid.”

Then he lifted up the Thousand-Chon Sword.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“I expected it all.”

Odin’s fourth rune of magic, the rune of escape.

It was a magic that allowed one to escape from any bondage or lock.

The 11th disaster opponent is Entgo, and since they have a lot of binding skills, Sihyeon chose this rune as his top priority.

That wasn’t all.

This rune will help you escape whenever you are imprisoned in the prison of other demons, aliens, or gods.

“What can I do?”

-That, that’s… … Hahaha. Ta-da.

Jurey smiled awkwardly and spread his arms as if spreading the branches.

-It was a joke~

[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Sword (D)’ causes a storm.]

-Eww!

Kwajijijik!

Numerous rhizomes covered the vision.

This was because Jurey decided that he could not escape from Shihyeon.

And that was the right decision.

This is a demonstration of catching a high elf who is said to be quick.

There was no way he could not chase down a slow-moving Ent.

So the only option Jurey had was to attack Shihyeon.

[Activates skill, ‘Lightning Tier (S)’.]

[Activates skill, ‘Unfair Judgement (A)’.]

Flash!

Black lightning, Astrape, spread around Sihyeon.

‘Is that so?’

Jurey, who saw that sight, created roots again.

‘There are two ways to do this: shooting black lightning from your body and dropping lightning from the sky?’

‘Lightning Tier’ and ‘Unjust Judgement’.

Jurey, who immediately understood the difference between the two skills, began to attack.

Wrap the vision with numerous roots and restrain the Lightning Tier.

He uses the leaves on his head to block as much of the evil judgment coming down from heaven as possible.

This was the strategy that Jurey established.

But the guy’s strategy was wrong from the start.

-What is this…?

Crunch.

Jurey couldn’t handle the Lightning Tier or Unholy Judgement that Shihyeon used.

From the very beginning, his roots were burned as soon as they touched the black lightning of the vision.

The leaves could not stop the black lightning.

The guy was also having tree trunks cut off by the wind blades Sihyeon had created.

-This… …noom!

As the tree trunks that gave him life disappeared.

Jurey became angry and created more stems and roots.

Kwajijijik.

Numerous stems and roots sprouted from all over the creature’s body and from beneath the ground.

however.

[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (C)’ shows its teeth.]

Crackle.

The creature’s trunk was blocked and eaten by the tentacles summoned by the fallen glory.

‘It’s not working after all… … .’

Jurey took a step back after looking at the situation for a moment.

[Current Purification Rate: 45%]

[Time left until the end of the eleventh plague: 4 days and 7 hours.]

Although only five hours have passed, the purification rate is already at 45%.

‘if it goes like this…….’

Jurey shook his head.

‘Fill up the purification rate to 50% and then counterattack.’

When the purification rate reaches 50%, players on the Seoul side will fail to complete the quest.

Ent Elder, Jurey, can use special powers.

‘Now is the time to plan for the future.’

Jurey, who had been muttering like that, also stepped out.

Of course, the entire huge body could not move.

The magic stone he has, the core of the tree.

The Ent Elder was able to sneak away only the magic stone while leaving his massive body behind.

“Where are you running away to?”

When Sihyeon saw that sight, magic gathered in his hand.

[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (C)’ explodes with rage!]

[All numbers are replaced with magic.]

[Activates skill, ‘Lightning Tier (S)’.]

Flash!

Beyond Jurey’s massive body.

Everything around where the guy had taken root was engulfed in black light.

“good.”

Looking at Jurey, who had completely burned away.

Sihyeon put the guy’s body in the chibisis.

Then, he picked up the world tree that the guy was holding.

[Item, ‘World Tree Leaf (SS)’ has been acquired.]

[World Tree Leaves (SS)]

#One of the leaves of the world tree of the elves, the Liena Tree.

Material Items

Effect

[Vitality +100]

Special effects

When you tear a leaf, you will be teleported to the location of the corresponding World Tree.

It was a leaf from the World Tree, one of the few means of transportation.

However, what Sihyeon is interested in is not the special effect of moving through space, but the basic effect of increasing vitality by 100.

‘If you place this next to the World Tree, it will promote growth.’

After this leaf is placed in the kibisis.

Sihyeon looked at the disaster forest.

[Current Purification Rate: 32%]

[Time left until the end of the eleventh plague: 4 days and 7 hours.]

Capture the Ent Elder and sweep away the surrounding area.

The purification rate has dropped noticeably.

“Well. Actually, I didn’t catch anything.”

Sihyeon chuckled.

The opponent is the loach-like Ent elder, Jurey.

It wouldn’t have been to this extent.

Still, Sihyeon wasn’t worried.

Because it was a situation where I had left the guy’s aftermath to a ‘trustworthy’ person.

“Then should I continue hunting?”

[Item, ‘Night’s Veil (D)’ passes through the darkness.]

Swish.

Within moments, Sihyeon’s body disappeared.

[Current Purification Rate: 14%]

[Time left until the end of the eleventh plague: 2 days and 15 hours.]

Time passed.

Even though the situation and terrain were favorable for Ents, the purification rate was actually decreasing.

Thanks to the vision, the Ent elder who led the Ents disappeared.

It was thanks to other players also fighting well against the Ents.

‘It’s not over yet…’

But in this midst of confusion.

Someone in human form, wearing a robe over his head, sneaked through the forest of disaster.

‘Fuck… … I’m like this.’

He had the body of a man and moved nimbly.

Thanks to the black robe covering her face, her long ears and beautiful features were not visible, allowing her to blend in better.

Because the players gathered here in the Disaster Forest were wearing a variety of clothing.

‘I have to pretend to be a wizard and go in.’

The elf naturally joined the procession.

Thanks to the ability to use healing magic, he is able to help many players who are injured by Ents.

I actually defeated a few of the Ents.

Thanks to that, I was able to gain trust.

‘good.’

So, blend in with the injured, or the players escorting them.

The elves were able to cross the Calamity Forest and reach the river.

‘This river?’

After crossing the river, sacrificing a few Ents that had sneaked in nearby.

The elf finally arrived at the Seocheon Flower Garden.

[Current Purification Rate: 12%]

But the purification rate was gradually decreasing.

I didn’t even care.

One room.

Because if you just get one big one, the situation can be turned around at any time.

‘If I just find the World Tree… … I can turn everything around.’

After barely calming down my pounding heart.

The elf asked the people.

“Where is the place with the fewest flowers?”

“Oh, that’s the lot over there.”

“thank you.”

The World Tree is a tree that symbolizes great vitality.

Ironically, no plants can survive around it.

This was because plants offered their nutrients when they went next to the World Tree.

‘Phew… … ‘

So the elf pretended as if nothing had happened.

I walked towards the place where the World Tree was.

Because Seocheon here was busy treating injured players.

It was such a simple task to get there.

‘it’s okay!’

The elf let out a cheer when he saw that there was no one around.

‘It was easier than I thought. Hehehe. Mother Nature is helping me.’

The elf approached the site, laughing heartily.

The Seocheon flower field was bigger than I thought, so I got lost a little.

He was finally able to come to where the World Tree was.

Saaaaa… … .

I felt the energy of the seed radiating immense vitality.

Even though it’s still sleeping on the ground.

It was a powerful energy that made my whole body tremble.

‘I feel better because it’s an elf’s body.’

With such trembling hands.

The elf reached out to where he could feel the seeds of the World Tree.

‘Good good!’

The elf’s true identity was the Ent elder, Jurey.

Before being attacked by Shihyeon, Jurey succeeded in moving his magic stone near the heart of the elf in the state of lyrics.

‘I was glad to risk my life and steal the body of the high elf, Eloa, just in case.’

It wasn’t difficult to take possession of Eloah’s heart and completely control his body.

Because Eloah’s soul has already perished like a wooden doll.

In other words, Jurey simply took over the ownerless body.

‘You stupid elf bastards… … What kind of punishment is a wooden doll?’

Jurey laughed heartily.

“World Tree… … Become one with me.”

Even though he has changed into an elf, Jurey’s roots are those of an Ent elder.

He could still manipulate trees and plants.

Even without that, her abilities are doubled because she has the body of an elf that is highly affinity with nature.

“Hehehe… … Fallen demon. Wait.”

“Yeah. I waited for you too.”

“… … !”

At that moment, I was about to absorb the seeds of the World Tree.

Someone grabbed Jurey’s neck from behind.

Tzuzuzu, that is.

Black smoke came out of the man’s hand and drew a circle.

It soon expanded into a spherical shape, enveloping Jurey’s entire face.

“It’s finally here. My body.”
