Chapter 9-Strange Flowerpot(9)

Chapter 9-Strange Flowerpot(9)

Late night past midnight. I usually don’t go to the flower pots at this time. After all, she also sleeps in her own house.

But today was different. When she checks the camera on her way back home, she is still sitting in front of the tree.

The bonsai is slowly rotting from the ants’ scars, but the blackened spots are now visible to my eyes.

I don’t know if this method I thought of would be what World Tree wanted or would work, but I had to try it.

“I’m not sure, but it still looked similar.”

I took off the cap of the medicine bottle. That bluish power she was dealing with. Whether it was shooting an arrow or swinging a pipe, the power that strengthened the power to the limit was obviously similar to the power that the Awakeners of this era dealt with.

“—…!”

It’s originally intended to be injected into a blood vessel, but I don’t know how to use it in this situation, so I tilted the vial and scattered it into the world in the pot.

Still, if my choice was right, the change happened immediately.

As soon as she stands up with her eyes wide open, what was obviously a liquid becomes a bright group of light and scatters as soon as it reaches the world inside the pot. Sparkling like countless fireflies or pollen flying around, they make the world inside the flowerpot shine, and at the same time, they are gradually absorbed into the world tree.

[It’s not pure mana, but the contamination is being neutralized by an external force absorbed in a hurry.]

It wasn’t the mana the World Tree wanted, but it seems to be usable. The World Tree, which used the refined mana I gave it as another poison to neutralize the poison that had penetrated its body, quickly recovered from its wounds and regained its power.

‘Are you happy? I must be happy.’

Seeing a ray of hope in her despair, she hurried to look at her tree. She doesn’t have the expression of despair that was harder to see than the expression of anger, as if she had collapsed.

She got her smile back. A smile that makes an already beautiful face even more beautiful.

I took a picture of the beauty with my cell phone. I have enough of this

[Neutralize Pollution]

[Nameless World Tree lv 3]

[The grown world tree wants to select its high elf]

[The underground world vibrates as the World Tree grows]

However, the change that I thought I would find a little bit of composure drove without a break.

Immediately after taking her picture, I looked up at the World Tree, which was shining again.

“Are you going to spend your annual vacation today?”

“Yeah, uh, I think I’m not feeling well.”

“Well, it’s not a lot of work. Then take a break and see you next week.”

In the early morning after a day of many things had passed, I called the team leader and bought time for the day.

Thanks to the fact that I have been working diligently, I received permission without any complaints or problems.

The reason I took this time is, of course, to look at the flowerpot that has been engulfing my mind lately. So many things happened yesterday, so I thought I should take a closer look today and prepare for the unexpected.

‘High Elves. What is a high elf?’

Sitting in front of her potted plant, I observed her starting her activity.

Rubbing her eyes to see if she just woke up, she is preparing her something now. She wasn’t trying to restore Saturn that had collapsed.

Although she did the rough labor of scooping up soil, digging the ground, and splitting trees, she was a woman who pursued neatness without being disturbed, such as washing frequently, but according to her today, she decorated herself more meticulously and tidied up.

I soon realized that it was preparing for a special ceremony.

And the subject of the ceremony was none other than the World Tree, and the World Tree, which had raised its level after experiencing a series of events yesterday, said that it would select its high elf.

Of course, I don’t know exactly what a high elf is. From what I’ve seen so far, there are many similarities and differences with the elves in the creations.

‘Is this familiar?’

Just judging from her actions without hesitation. I wondered why she didn’t think this was the first time.

At the same time, I raised my gaze, and there was something a little special about one of the branches of the bonsai with green leaves.

It is a small red fruit. It’s about the size of a small apple that fits snugly in her hand, which is so small compared to the huge body that it can only be seen with magnification.

“—.”

After finishing her preparations, she stood in front of the World Tree. Then, with her eyes closed, she prays silently. A little different prayer from the prayer I used to do every morning and evening.

[Elf’s Prayer – Grace]

It is a prayer asking for grace. The object of that prayer is not me, but the world tree. And as if she understood her words, her World Tree shook her own branches gently and gave her the fruit she had borne.

I watched the whole process with bated breath.

Things seem like nothing at first glance, but I had a hunch that those fruits were by no means ordinary things.

‘I ate.’

She carefully held it in her hand and slowly brought it to her mouth and bit it.

I didn’t expect the act of eating the fruit to feel so pious. And when she ate it all.

[Exiled High Elf Hut]

Something has changed. Both her and the letters that came to mind.

My body froze at the moment when I saw the phrase “Expelled.”

Perhaps for the first time, I felt like I was getting a glimpse of who she was.

[The underworld vibrates]

[Dungeon-Ant Den fully activated]

Even other things have changed.

With an ominous message saying that the ant den has been activated, the monster ant that you must have killed has reappeared at the entrance of the den. Not even one, but two crawled out of the hole one after another and started heading towards the World Tree.

‘Fighting.’

But she takes up her bow and goes into battle again. There is no fear or hesitation on her face like before. As if she had something firmly in her heart, she moved forward to meet them without wavering.

“I can’t believe it.”

Besides, there was a corner that actually believed. After eating the fruit of the World Tree and becoming a high elf, her green eyes flashed and somehow, somehow, she radiated a completely different strength from before.

[End of the 1st wave]

“…The first?”

When I checked the time, it was a short time of less than 10 minutes. However, I was mesmerized by the sight of the steel arrows she shot flying around in blue flames and bursting the carapaces of the witch ants.

The two monster ants that just crawled out were not all.

If the first round is over, it means that there is a second and a third round. Then those monster ants would keep crawling out of their burrows.

I killed two monster ants overwhelmingly, but her expression is not good. It seems that she herself knows that if she continues like this, she will not win in the end.

[High Elves move the power of the World Tree]

Maybe that’s why she had a lot of thoughts, but when she returned home, she wandered around for hours with a very worried expression on her face, and then sat down and groaned in agony.

After that, he looked up at the world tree with green leaves, and finally stood up and used his power as if he had made up his mind.

It was enough power to tell me in words.

[Opening the dimensional door]

“Huh?”

What happened right after that happened in the midst of a misfortune. Watching her move blankly, she suddenly saw something of her appearing in the void, and she immediately threw herself into it.

“?!”

And there was no one. It disappeared without leaving a trace.

There is no one left in the pot, which used to be full of vitality with a single small life, and only a bonsai tree swayed in the wind.

“Everyone, will you come back?”

Bewildered, I scratched my head in despondency. Judging from the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like it’s completely gone, but was it possible to come and go somewhere freely like that?

‘She’s not stupid.’

I immediately calmed down and stood up.

She hasn’t committed her actions without thinking so far. Even if she was afraid, she also had a strong heart to overcome it.

As the number of her world grows, she gets stronger, so she must have thought that with the power she gained this time, she would be able to stop the active anthill.

[Opening the dimensional door]

“Did you come!?”

With that mindset, I spent time doing things to do. Then, it was almost midnight when the installed camera discovered a light shining in a flowerpot.

I was sitting in front of the computer and ran to the flower pot in a month.

Unsure of where she went, she returned to the planter and seemed to have found a way to overcome this predicament.

[Population: 03]

‘Young… Elves?’

But strictly speaking, she seemed to have failed to achieve her goal.

Two other young-looking creatures followed her as she returned with her stiff expression.

An elf boy, equally dark and rigid, and a little elf girl holding her hand.

“—.”

In the meantime, she gritted her teeth and muttered something. That grim face was about the same as when fighting a monster ant.
