‘?’

Han-bit was sincerely surprised.

Because the intervention of the Blue Moon Bird, who loathed the World Tree, was not expected in the slightest.

As he had expressed his intent to refuse until just a moment ago, the sudden change was full of questions.

Deudedeu—

Then, a tremor occurred in the tree trunk where the Blue Moon Bird’s foot was embedded.

And a unique sensation wrapped around the body.

It was pure transition power, completely different from earlier.

Shuuuk—!

Scenery that changed at once before there was even a gap to detect the change.

What reached the vision was the appearance of a small garden where sunlight was pouring down between tree leaves.

“…”

A beautiful woman with light green hair sitting on top of vines.

Displeasure was vividly felt in the furrowed brow.

“…Is that person the World Tree?”

“To be precise, it is one of the World Tree’s forms.”

To Charlotte’s question who opened her eyes wide, the Blue Moon Bird answered nonchalantly.

The still cold eyes were fixed on the World Tree.

-Heol.

-Is this real?

-From today I became a World Tree fan.

-World Tree my light, my salt, my sun…

-But why trying to kill?

-Personality seems to be a mess;

Viewers showed a surprised reaction to the appearance that first caught the eye.

‘As expected it was that side.’

Han-bit, who had expected that woman’s appearance, inwardly let out a sigh.

The appearance belonging to the most tricky axis among the World Tree’s personalities.

Originally it was a situation where one should have run away simultaneously with facing her.

Provided that the giant variable called the Blue Moon Bird was not present, that is.

“I did not know you would move.”

The World Tree who opened her mouth had her gaze fixed on the Blue Moon Bird.

The Phantom Beast who met eyes said while curling its neck.

“I was planning to. Provided that your disgusting actions were not present.”

“Are you still harboring old matters? At that point it is hypocrisy.”

“Hypocrisy would be better than the World Tree disregarding life.”

Although it was a conversation that did not raise the voice even a bit, a sharp collision of emotions was felt.

Although they were two people who lived in the same area for a long time, they were now in a relationship worse than strangers.

Should I say the difference in values that arose between the existences from the beginning of time was the cause.

Slig—

Vines that moved slowly along with the World Tree’s hand gesture.

She came closer to where Han-bit was.

“Human, that you are alive is thanks to that Phantom Beast fallen into hypocrisy. Hand over the lost branch and disappear.”

The command without emotion or anything pierced clearly into the ears.

But he had no intention of leaving behind the branch and disappearing like this.

“I cannot give it just like that.”

“I am not giving you an opportunity for choice. If you bring out your voice one more time, I shall take the mana filled in your body and make it nourishment.”

“If you give me what I wish for, I shall gladly give it.”

“Fine, then die.”

Shuuuk—!

Green light sprouting from the surroundings along with the World Tree’s voice.

Peoreok—!

The Blue Moon Bird, who quickly spread its wings, tried to protect Han-bit.

But before that, a mysterious voice echoed.

「That won’t do?」

Huuuk—!

Then, a humanoid form that appeared along with the wind wrapping around the body.

It was the High Wind Spirit Aerial.

“…Aerial.”

The World Tree who whispered the name furrowed her brow once more.

The gathering of existences from the beginning of time in this place was a story without a sense of reality.

-Spirit descent.

-What kind of combination is this?

-Phantom Beast and Spirit are on Black Dragon’s side. lol

-Look at how solid the guardians are.

「Has it been a long time? Ah, do you dislike me because I’m a hypocrite too?」

Aerial, who gave a smirk, stood by Han-bit’s side.

Watching that appearance, the World Tree spat out a voice mixed with irritation.

“Pointless consumption is meaningless, I see.”

Although it was a portion of her strength, dealing with a High Spirit was not easy.

Moreover, in a situation where an adult Phantom Beast was also holding its ground, colliding was a loss.

“Recite what you wish for, human.”

The World Tree said with cold eyes.

At those words he had been waiting for, Han-bit brought out what he truly wished for.

“Yes. I wish to receive the flower of the World Tree.”

“…What?”

The World Tree who heard that word opened her eyes wide.

Flower of the World Tree that had bloomed exactly two blossoms from the beginning until now.

Right now only one blossom was existing.

“Did you even hear such a story.”

The World Tree thought he heard the information regarding the flower from the Phantom Beast and the spirit.

Thinking of the matters in the other world, it was not particularly a wrong story.

“Flower is impossible. Recite another thing.”

“It cannot be if not the flower.”

“I cannot give the crystal of my mana to the likes of you…”

Hwaak—!

In an instant, the upper air where sunlight was pouring down was dyed in golden flames.

It was an appearance as if a sun had flown in.

-?

-What?

-Why is the sky color like that?

-??

At the sudden situation, the chat window also filled with questions.

But everyone in this place was detecting a power that was not ordinary.

“Going outside.”

Slig—

Sensation of transition wrapping the body along with the World Tree’s voice.

Coming outside, they were standing before the thick tree trunk.

“Do not move.”

Then, a man’s voice mixed with noise was heard from the upper side.

-?

-Who are you?

-Are those the Sacred Body Faction kids again?

-Let’s give a diligent player award.

-Real lol

Viewers speculated the uninvited guest who appeared abruptly as a player.

And that prediction fitted exactly.

“Black Dragon, the feeling is strange.”

Charlotte, who gripped the sword hilt tight, said while watching the sky.

Hwareuk—

Flames and intense brilliance spewing from the body clad in pure white armor.

It was an appearance as if personifying the sun.

‘Odin’s worry was understandable indeed.’

The content delivered secretly was that the players of the Grand Temple might move.

Although he couldn’t know what the minimum standard was, it did not apply to that man seen now.

Han-bit, who magnified the screen, caught his name tag on the camera.

[Sirius]

-Eh?

-??

-Isn’t he 1st in the rankings?

-He’s also Sacred Body Faction?

-This is cheating;

1st ranked player belonging to the Sacred Body Faction.

He, whose face or anything had not been disclosed, revealed his appearance here now.

This was an unexpected situation after all.

“Is that… truly a human?”

“If your eyes are not blind, that is.”

The Blue Moon Bird and the World Tree detected the anomaly just with the energy felt.

「Too many things are mixed. It seems there’s even a devil among them.」

Aerial brought out a slightly different opinion.

The expression devil was not a metaphorical meaning.

Because they were subterranean existences that truly appear starting from specific private area strategies.

But the expression mixed was difficult to understand.

‘Something is unstable.’

Half of Sirius’s body was seen somewhat blurred.

He wondered if it was because of the armor and flames, but it was different from that.

“Black Dragon.”

Then, Sirius who was looking down quietly opened his mouth.

“It is time to check the result of your death. Throw away pointless resistance and accept your fate.”

Words as if giving some revelation.

Bringing up the word fate to Han-bit who experienced 55 turns of death was a preposterous story.

“Don’t give me that fate crap. I won’t die easily…”

Hwareuk—

In an instant, the golden flames that bloomed before the eyes swallowed the voice.

Simultaneously, golden blade starting to touch the skin of the neck.

Literally it was a situation where death was looming.

However.

Kwadudeuk—!

Black crack produced in that gap blocked the attack.

Huk—!

Charlotte, who pulled Han-bit, rushed toward the enemy as if crossing.

Shwiik—!

The cracks split following Sirius’s position continued at an immense speed.

Even in such a situation, Sirius’s expression did not change even a bit.

Hwareuk—!

His body, which looked as if withdrawing, disappeared while being wrapped in flames again.

Tat—!

Han-bit, who rushed with the Gale Slash, approached Charlotte.

Five-colored sword was swung greatly toward the air.

Kaang—!

Golden sword and Sirius’s appearance that appeared along with a sharp noise.

However the result was not good.

“Ugh!”

Kwagwagwang—!

The power where the sun’s flames were dwelling strongly suppressed Han-bit and crashed him into the ground.

Kwagwang—!

Body being pushed gradually deep while largely breaking the terrain.

The sword held with both hands was just before breaking the body while digging into his chest.

Huuuk—!

Then, a giant wave rushed along with silver-blue heat haze.

Kwadudeu—!

The attack that flew intensely covered Sirius’s body and blew it away.

Surely he thought so.

Hwareuk—!

Sirius’s body, which did not move even a bit, was fine.

Just, the golden flames that bloomed in the surroundings swallowed the Blue Moon Bird’s attack.

“Black Dragon!”

Shwiik—!

Charlotte, who flew in again, rushed while cleaving space.

This time Sirius moved.

“Back off.”

Kang—!

Kwagwang—!

Enormous roars continued consecutively along with the appearance that disappeared like lighting up.

Kwadudeu—

In the meantime, Han-bit, who broke the terrain using wind, regained the freedom of the body.

「My power is not delivered. Run away immediately.」

Aerial’s voice echoed in his head.

But there was no need to run away.

Huuuk—!

He, who quickly escaped outside, scanned the surrounding situation.

Charlotte and the Blue Moon Bird who stood against Sirius looked as if they had just fallen.

Although they were two whose state was originally not good, the 1st ranker’s strength was mighty.

At least it was a relief that their lives were not taken as if there was no killing intent.

Shwiik—!

Han-bit fired wind blades toward Sirius’s back.

Hwareuk—!

Wind scattered while being mixed into the flames that bloomed.

It was instantaneous that Sirius disappeared as if flickering.

Tat—!

Han-bit, who quickly kicked off, headed for the World Tree’s trunk with all his power.

The woman with light green hair who disappeared early looked as if she had no intention of even intervening.

“I told you it was a meaningless resistance.”

Hwareuk—!

Barrier of golden flames produced at some point.

Sirius, standing in the center, approached slowly.

The fact that it did not burn despite clearly touching the tree was seen as a property of power.

Slig—

Then, one pendant hanging on Sirius’s neck entered his eyes.

The golden mysterious structure was an object Han-bit also knew.

‘A holy relic, huh.’

5 holy relics that were said to have been together from the Holy State’s beginning.

One of them was the Sun Pendant.

Naturally it would have gone through several modifications, but the appearance of a user in such a period was an impossible thing.

“I shall not take the dropped gold and objects. I shall send this too.”

Keureureung—!

Sirius trapped the Heavenly Fox, who came out from the bosom and was growling, in a small flame barrier.

“Should I clap and say thanks.”

Although there was no emotion particularly in Sirius’s nonchalant words, he deliberately threw words mixed with sarcasm.

Took—

Han-bit leaned his back against the World Tree’s trunk.

“Finish quickly.”

Hwareuk—!

Sirius, holding his sword, walked a bit closer.

And the moment he stood in front of Han-bit.

Puuk—!

He thrusted the golden sword into the chest.

Sword blade that was deeply embedded while digging into the trunk surface.

Sirius’s face approached close enough to be near.

“Excellent judgment.”

Sirius, who thought he accepted death, slowly nodded his head.

Watching that appearance, Han-bit raised his mouth corners.

“Right, it is an excellent judgment.”

Puk—!

The tree branch held in his swung left hand.

It was strongly embedded into Sirius’s neck.

“Did you think I’d just die?”

Kkudeuk—!

Vines starting to bloom from Sirius’s neck where the branch was embedded.

It was moved to the World Tree’s trunk in an instant and started assimilation.

“…Excellent resourcefulness.”

He did not waver even while the body was being encroached.

Simultaneously, fierce flames sprouted from the sword embedded in Han-bit’s chest.

Hwareuk—!

Fierce heat that covered the entire body.

It bloomed the smoke of death at once.

Ttiring—

[You have died.]

The message that popped up along with the screen dyed in gray.

But it was not the end there.

[Resurrection Sphere of Illusions is confirmed.]

[Would you like to use the sphere? (Yes/No)]

The resurrection sphere received from Odin.

In this place, choice was possible while having reached death.

Han-bit moved his arm which had turned translucent and brought his hand to the button.

However.

Jijijik—!

Suddenly the message before the eyes blurred and noise started to occur.

Then strange messages followed.

[ERROR]

[ERROR]

[ERROR]

…

‘What…’

The errors starting to pop up covered the screen.

And when those letters scattered as if breaking.

[Moving to ???.]

Scenery was reversed along with another message.
