[Who’s alive?]
[What?]
[Shouldn’t we catch the Grim Reaper first?]
[Let’s just kill the Sage.]
[Hahahahahaha]
“If you keep your promise, I’ll let you know. Their ultimate goal is probably that place.”
“What’s living?”
“Are you making a pact? Not to kill?”
“Of course. I don’t want to kill.”
I prefer not killing.
In fact, I lean more towards disliking it, and if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be the Saintess saving countless lives.
The fact that there are Ancient Beasts in the Space of Despair within my Soul serves as evidence.
[You’ll hit them without killing, right?]
[Not killing) Turning them into half corpses.]
[Really?]
[Is hitting the head also saving?]
[Eh?]
[Hahahahahahahah]
“Hmm. Anyway, there are still people alive, right?”
It’s better to get hurt a bit than to die.
Plus, since I’ll heal any truly dangerous wounds, it feels a bit odd to say this, but I wonder if I’m being somewhat ‘merciful.’
As I said this, countless ‘?’ popped up in the Chat Window, but the viewers always did that.
The Sage looked up at me with narrow eyes.
“…I don’t know the details either. Since the Master’s sacrifice a long time ago, and the sealing of the Stone of Reversing. I’ve only seen it twice.”
“Please tell me even if it’s not detailed.”
“…You could say they’re similar.”
Existences quite similar to endless Darkness.
Though their size and power are weak, the essence itself being similar made me nod as I spread my Wings of Light.
I floated softly into the air.
Instead of the Kraken’s Spear in my hand, I pulled out the Unique Weapon Hammer and unleashed powerful Holiness.
Kugugugu…!
The power emanating was the same as the six Pieces released before, or perhaps even greater.
The original me wasn’t truly committed to Teshiniria.
There were circumstances overlapping, including the Grim Reaper, and discovering Seriphed, who I thought was dead, or rather was dead, but it wasn’t urgent.
I had planned on leisurely going around, subduing disasters one by one, but the Sage’s words just changed my mind.
‘Maybe I’ve lost faith since it’s been a while.’
Well, it has been a long time.
For them, it’s the last hope, so I couldn’t just easily show up.
‘Still, I might feel a bit hurt.’
I turned my head to the camera capturing me, looking at the blue circle.
“Everyone.”
[?]
[Eh?]
[Oh, Wings!]
[Angel the Lily makes an appearance, hahahaha!]
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Huh]
[Angel Lilyda!]
[Are you going to break everything now?]
[Oh]
[What the hell is that?]
[Angel, don’t hit recklessly. You’ll get cursed, lol.]
“Didn’t you say you wanted to see something refreshing?”
[Huh?]
[That’s right.]
[Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh]
I don’t know if it’s just my viewers or if all viewers are like this, but they always liked ‘destruction.’
They preferred cool actions like breaking and smashing something.
There were a few strange villains who appeared wanting to kill everyone passing by, but the majority of viewers wanted ‘might’ rather than flashy techniques.
Since I showed a spear once in Seriphed, it might be time to use something else.
‘Space Division.’
In an instant, I moved through space and stood before Life.
Like the Grim Reaper, there were carcasses of plants and animals lining her path.
She was closer to something surrounded by grass, trees, and flowers than to a person.
Brought forth from a dragon, but not exactly in the form of one.
Having lost her ego, she unleashed more life energy upon seeing me, so I asked just in case.
“If you regain your senses, I’d recommend talking through conversation. How about it?”
The sage had said she completely lost her ego, but perhaps her mind had returned.
However, to my disappointment, Life launched an attack.
Without hesitation, I grabbed my hammer.
“Well then… Let’s start with one hit.”
KA-BOOM!!!
With a loud noise, her head caved in.
Not only did her head cave in, but her body sank into the ground, and when I lifted the hammer, something resembling green dough was revealed.
[???]
[Lolololololololol]
[No, I said I wouldn’t kill her, Lily!]
[Look, she’s killing again.]
[??]
[Are you talking about a refreshing death?]
[???: Death is cold.]
[Lololololol]
[Death really is cold.]
“She’s not dead yet. I’ll only give her a maximum of three hits to come to her senses.”
Three hits should be bearable, right?
[Not yet?]
[Lily on three hits is just dead…]
[Is this right?]
Graaahhh…!
The dough-like Life began to regenerate her body and stood up again.
The Dragon of Life shares ‘life force’ with everyone, but her abilities were not limited to just ‘sharing.’
Swoosh…
Her other title was ‘Reaper.’
She could ‘reap’ life force from others in proportion to the ‘life force’ she shared.
Completely regenerating, Life stepped onto the dead land.
As Life exhaled a loud noise and reached out to me, countless tree roots sprung up, aiming to attack me.
Countless tree roots sprang up to target me.
The land had died, but paradoxically, the roots were filled with the energy of life.
Each one was comparable to an Intermediate Angel or the Demon Race.
It reminded me of when I faced the crazily glowing Blackened World Tree.
At that time, it wasn’t this lively but rather in a corrupted state.
“This reminds me of the Lord Sword Saint.”
[LOL]
[Grim Reaper…]
[What’s the Sword Saint up to these days?]
[The Grim Reaper and Sword Saint are doing similar things with names like that.]
[Grim Reaper Grim Reaper…]
[This is why the gods are a problem.]
[For real, LOL]
[Oh no, Lily’s in danger.]
Thud, thud.
I lightly swung my hammer to knock back the tree roots.
After that, I stacked the Roar of Acceleration a thousand times, engaged the Heavy Technique Thunder Dragon, and struck its head again.
[KWAAARUNG!!!]
“That’s two hits.”
A thunderbolt rained down from a clear sky.
My Unique Weapon enhances the techniques of Teshiniria.
Moreover, since this place is also where the Thunder Dragon Plgurr is buried and I used both ‘Roar of Acceleration’ and ‘Heavy Technique Thunder Dragon’ simultaneously, the effect amplified dozens or even hundreds of times.
Life turned into a handful of ash.
……
“This regeneration will take a bit longer.”
[But you burned it, right?]
[???]
[Making it into firewood and what…]
[Lily is too violent, LOL]
[Eh.]
[???: What a crazy bastard.]
[Isn’t that a bit too much?]
[While Yena is suffering…]
[LMAO]
Wiggle. Wiggle.
A handful of ash trembled and attempted to absorb all the life force from the Central Continent.
Normally, recovery is possible only by the amount given, but life had sacrificed itself for a long time as the ‘Spring of Life.’
Many beings throughout this world had received help from this life.
Especially, it’s no exaggeration to say the Central Continent was born due to the influence of the Spring of Life.
The physical form of life rapidly inflated, transforming into an existence even more massive than the mountains, gazing down at me majestically.
A being that exudes bizarre life energy, toying with the living beings it has captured.
I glanced back at the dead area and, while preparing for the final strike, suddenly dropped my hammer.
[??]
[Not hitting?]
[Huh?]
Gooaaaahhh…
“As expected, there’s no way it would leave just one behind.”
The true master of life, the Life Dragon Anima.
I had hoped there might be a corpse left like Seriphed, or that other dragons had left behind some lingering thoughts.
To check for that, I pushed life and attempted to search for the buried corpses in the Central Continent, but in the end, nothing appeared.
It seems that Anima was the kind that lost her ‘body’ even before embarking on a long journey, only collecting Dragon Hearts along the way.
The problem is that during the process of confirming that existence, the life has become abnormally strong.
Whoa…
The successor of the living dragon, the life has become strong enough to rival the upper levels.
[What do we do about that?]
[???]
[Aren’t they all dead?]
[Is this World Tree 2.0?]
[Looks like it’s gonna be fun.]
[What should we do, Lily?]
[ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
“What do you mean what should we do? We have to revert this.”
Life is like a balloon.
Just as you harvest as much as you give, all living beings have a limit to the life force they can accept.
Just like how excessive holy power from healing magic can turn into extreme poison.
Even the ‘life’ that possesses the power of life is no exception.
I gently placed my hand on the enormous life larger than a mountain and infused it with holy power.
‘The compassion of the saintess.’
The destruction-stained heart of mine lightened a bit, and only then did pity for them settle in my heart.
“One last hit.”
Not the holy power of ‘destruction,’ but the holy power of ‘healing.’
“It’s gonna hurt a bit.”
Light erupted.
■
“…I thought it didn’t exist.”
─……
“So you were here?”
The light burst forth, and the life force absorbed by the world returned to its original owner.
The flora and fauna regained vitality, and even the dead land would once again give birth to life.
As the sage said, I hadn’t killed the life, so I planned to head towards the light while sealing the incapacitated life…
“Anima.”
─Long time no see, human of light.
Anima. To be precise, her thought was standing before me.
Before I knew it, the position was no longer a space of its own but her own pocket space.
Anima shimmered with a faint green shape and wore a bittersweet smile.
─I’m sorry. I’m a different concept from Seriphed’s thoughts… This will be the last time you see me. Even though I knew you earlier, I couldn’t approach you.
“……”
─I’m sorry for not managing the successor. It was our responsibility, but in the end, we only triggered a disaster that we couldn’t take responsibility for…
“You don’t need to apologize to me for managing. It was a matter of the dragon race, after all.”
─If you think so, I’m grateful…
“So.”
What on earth.
“Why did Seriphed hide the fact that there are hatchlings?”
