48. Fame

Ugh-

“Ha..Ha..”

“Heo-euk…Heo-euk…”

In a large building, dozens of new models surrounded the magic circle.

“Kuh… Ugh…”

Push-

The elf who was injecting power into the magic circle groaned and eventually collapsed. Another elf waiting outside the magic circle pulled him out and hurriedly took his place.

Beside that space, elves who used up all their mana were huddled next to the magic circle.

The conference hall where dozens of elves gathered like that.

At the center of the elves who maintain the ‘wall of verdure’, the last bastion protecting Elvenheim, the leadership of Elvenheim, including the queen of the elves, stood there with a desperate expression.

“Hello… Are you saying the empire won’t come…?”

If Elvenheim collapsed, the empire would be in trouble as well, but the Elven Queen Laurelin asked with a trembling voice at the still unbelievable decision.

In front of her was an elf man with bandages all over his body. Raven lowered his head and opened his mouth to tell the truth.

“The Empire.. Seems to have built a front on the border..”

In the end, the Queen and the leadership of Elvenheim burst into sighs at his driving words.

“Huh… Is there really no way…”

Those who are frustrated that the longed-for hope has only brought despair.

“Ah..How can this be..”

Beetle-

“Queen!”

Laurelin, who had been maintaining her barrier for several days without taking a break, was staggered by the shocking news.

Raven, who had been silently looking at the confused leadership, opened his mouth in a voice that was not very loud but was clearly audible to everyone.

“Now there is only one way left.”

Everyone’s attention was focused on his words, and the queen, who barely came to her senses, asked with a feeling of holding on to her last rope.

“Sir Raven. Is there any way…?”

When Raven spoke with firm determination in response to her question, everyone paid attention to Raven.

“We elves must escape Elvenheim.”

A space where silence flows after Raven’s words.

But after a while, as if the silence was false, the conference room started to become noisy.

“What is that! How could an elf leave Elvenheim!”

Even the elven elders, who had been adhering to the stance of continuing the barrier until now,

“Elfs are blessed by the World Tree, so she is an elf, but she intends to abandon her identity?”

I thought there was no hope if we went on like this, so even the watchmen who wanted to fight began to unite and exterminate Raven.

From noble mtl dot com

Woong Sung Woong Sung-

Raven, who was standing there without any reaction to the reaction of the meeting room, which became noisy in an instant, lifted his foot slightly,

Pain-

Rolled on the ground.

As Raven stomped his feet, the wave of mana that spread throughout the meeting hall silenced everyone, as if representing his will to reach the state of hwagyeong.

‘When was Raven so strong…?’

‘Isn’t that stronger than the patrol captain?’

Leaving behind the people who were surprised by his elevation, Raven, who focused everyone’s attention, opened his mouth.

“So, what if I don’t leave Elvenheim? With no support from the Empire, will you just keep the barrier and end up being annihilated when the barrier disappears?”

“Still, Elvenheim is the identity of the elves…”

At Raven’s blow, the elf elder couldn’t refute and mumbled.

“Then why don’t we all work together to wipe out those monsters!”

At the words of the watchman, Raven glanced at him and laughed.

“Fight against it? With less than 10,000 combatants at most? In the end, if even one point is penetrated, it will be annihilated. Get to grips with the subject. I’d rather just hold on and live longer.”

At Raven’s words, the watchman blushed and said with great enthusiasm.

“Then what kind of plan did you come up with to say that?”

At his words, Raven said with an expressionless face.

“I don’t plan to do anything specifically good or bad. I just think it’s the only way… Rather than giving up meaninglessly like this, I have to be prepared for sacrifice and break through the abyss.”

Looking at the look of the personnel seriously stiffened at his words, he added.

“And maybe… There is a way to increase the odds of this plan if it succeeds.”

As the elves were puzzled by his incomprehensible words, Raven was lost in thought.

Raven said while recalling the image of Yoohyeon, who destroyed all the abysses in front of her with a single sword.

“Do you know how I got through so many monsters by myself?”

At Raven’s words, the people in the conference room shook their heads.

Certainly, no matter how strong Raven became, it was impossible for even the mage Laurelin, who had reached the 7th circle, to pass through that many monsters alone.

“After failing to enlist the help of the Empire, I tried to return to Elvenheim, but I was destined to die less than halfway through the endless hordes of monsters.”

Raven calmly explains.

“But when I finally fell, a human appeared in front of me. And he swung his sword and the world split in half.”

“What? The world is cut in half..? Have you seen anything false?”

Even though the elf was dumbfounded by Raven’s outrageous words.

“If what I saw was a lie, I wouldn’t be able to stay alive like this. I’ll bet you, that guy’s skills are at least a grand master…”

Raven’s words sparked the eyes of the Elf Queen Laurelin as she listened to his story.

“Grand Master? If that’s true…”

Raven clenched his fists at Yoohyeon’s sword strike, which he still remembered clearly when he closed his eyes.

As he was about to say that he had to persuade him somehow,

Salang~

A soft voice was heard along with the wind that gently wrapped around the conference hall.

[Children.. You have suffered a lot.]

– World Tree..!

Push-

Elves, except for high elves and priests, have never heard of it except for very special occasions, but fell on his knees, thrilled by the voice of the World Tree, which they knew instinctively.

[I tried to protect you guys even at the cost of myself as I watched you guys getting thinner, but fortunately, that’s no longer necessary.]

The elves grabbed their hearts at the shocking words of the World Tree, but all the elves pricked their ears at her ensuing words.

[The person you just talked about…No, he says that the god of another world is helping us.]

“Are you a god?”

[Yes, he has a human form, but he must have a divinity.]

At the end of the world tree’s joy, all the elves in the meeting hall couldn’t contain their joy at this incredible luck.

‘God…God? For me to point my sword at God…!’

While all the elves were happy, there was one elf who looked back on his actions and was terrified, but no one cared.

“What a noble god..! What is his name?”

Laurelin, the queen who had been plagued with guilt for not properly protecting Elvenheim until now, smiled happily and asked the World Tree.

[Come to think of it, I couldn’t ask that because I wasn’t in a hurry]

The World Tree’s voice faded away, and the wind engulfed them and disappeared.

After a while, the voice that came back with the wind resounded in all the elves’ ears.

[He wants to call himself Sword God.]

“Swordsman…”

The voice of the World Tree was heard by the elves who were admiring the name of a god who seemed powerful just by hearing the name.

[It would be nice to pray to the Sword God who helped me out of pure goodwill and express my gratitude.]

It was the moment when the name of the god to be praised was remembered in the head of the elf who believed in and worshiped only the world tree.

A loud cheering sounded in Yoohyeon’s ears as he stood right in front of the green barrier, staring at the endlessly teeming monsters just a few tens of meters ahead.

“Did you tell me?”

Hearing cheers spread through the city that was so quiet like a ghost town, Yoohyeon glanced up and asked.

[Yes.. In order to adjust the barrier, it is faster to inform the truth..]

Yoohyeon smiled as he sensed the divinity that was slowly accumulating in his body.

“Well…It’s okay. I think I can release the barrier now.”

[Yes, I will tell you to break the barrier in this area..]

The world tree, affirming Yoohyeon’s words, soon added a word.

[Sword God, my children seem to be a little uneasy. Would it be okay if I showed you the sights of this place?]

‘Those who guarded this place in sudden circumstances might be anxious. Well, I’m not going to come here again, so it doesn’t matter.’

Yoohyeon readily agreed to the question of the World Tree.

“It doesn’t matter if anyone wants to see it. As long as it doesn’t get in the way…”

[Yes, thank you..]

At Yoohyeon’s words, the world tree seemed to be in a good mood, shaking its branches up and down and thinking.

‘No matter how shameless you are, you can’t just accept it. I’ll show all the children how active this person is so that they can gain divinity.’

Even though Yoohyeon didn’t know, the World Tree began to show Yoohyeon’s figure in real time in the sky above the plaza for all the elves to see in return.

Ugh–

After a while, a section of the barrier that tightly surrounded Elvenheim opened, and Yoohyeon stood tall in the middle of the passageway created by it.

Guooooo—-

Maybe it was because he felt the vitality gushing out of the barrier.

The hordes of Abyss, which had been separated for some time, slowly but densely began to gather like a swarm of ants.

Without knowing that tens of thousands of people were watching him, he faced a scene that would make even the limbs of those who were watching this on the screen go numb.

Yoohyeon declared.

“Come.”
