Chapter 482: Chapter 482

Episode 482. Calling (2)

Forest Spirit King.

Everyone except the dryad was slightly surprised. It has to be that way. The only ones who knew of Hiel’s existence were the dryads who had been watching Hiel from the moment the contract was made.

but.

“…no way.”

Ariel, the Spirit King of Wind who was well versed in news, could guess.

This was because there were eyewitness accounts carried by the wind.

Ariel recalled her memory.

-“New Spirit King? “Is that possible?”

That’s certainly how he answered the young spirits’ questions.

I didn’t even wonder about the intention of the question.

Because it was natural to not even pay attention to absurd rumors.

“Was the rumor about the new Spirit King true…?”

Oried jumped at Aerial’s meaningful recitation.

you…!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

You’ve been doing only the frustrating things since a while ago, Ariel.

“Are you saying that now?”

“Oried….”

“Look at the bonfire.”

Spirit’s bonfire.

A brilliant cluster of lights shines above the round table. It was a fire burning in a restricted area where only the Spirit King or those who had permission from the Spirit King could enter.

Oried’s eyes turn to each king.

“Count them one by one, Aerial. Don’t forget to count yourself too. Have you counted everything? That’s right, there are no vacancies in front of the spirit bonfire.”

This means that a new Spirit King cannot be elected because there are no vacancies.

Still, the atmosphere was chaotic.

Oried didn’t like the chaos.

A small murmur.

“The damn rumors never end.”

It wasn’t just rumors about a new spirit king.

Isn’t it said that the spirits of the universe, who had disappeared, have returned to the Arcana continent? Among them, the most absurd rumor was about the non-existent Spirit King of Darkness.

‘The name didn’t make any sense.’

Did you say The End Chrysiad Eternal Darkness?

To put it grandly, he is a spirit who boasts a name that surpasses even the true spirit king himself. Oried didn’t want his plans to be clouded by such nonsense.

‘I can’t escape the shackles of innocence like this.’

therefore.

angle.

Oried focused on the approaching sign.

As I said, the Spirit King.

Or, a space that can only be accessed by those who have permission from the Spirit King.

Oried’s harsh gaze is directed at the Dryad.

‘I don’t know what you want, though.’

It was definitely true.

The reason the owner of those footsteps could appear in front of the bonfire must have been with the permission of the dryad. Orried did not overlook that point.

“I hope they both take responsibility for their actions.”

Dryad and Aerial.

Oried calmed down his excitement after shooting at the two spirit kings.

If a variable has arisen, all you have to do is calmly remove that variable.

angle.

Oried rolled his head as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

How can I gain the sympathy of other spirit kings?

‘Zeus will eventually follow me.’

Because he has a clear weakness as a child of lightning.

It was the moment when Oried was concretizing his plan.

Suddenly I felt an intense heat.

“…Phoenix?”

Oried reflexively looked at Phoenix, the Spirit King of Flame.

But it wasn’t Phoenix.

The heat was radiating from the bonfire on the round table.

Grumbling.

“!”

The spirit bonfire was burning with unprecedented intensity. Oried’s pupils, who had always maintained a noble attitude, began to shake violently.

“What is this…. Vitality…?”

The spirit’s bonfire does not just burn.

Each time a spirit king sits in front of the round table, a single ember is added, and when all the spirit kings are present, it begins to burn, creating a bonfire.

however.

The bonfire was burning more brilliantly and intensely just as the mysterious figure got closer. Eventually, Oried’s trembling gaze turns towards the direction from which the sound is coming.

angle.

‘What on earth is this…?’

Eventually, his identity is revealed.

“…!!!”

Wings spread out wide.

Clothing that glows brilliantly.

A grace that flows naturally.

One word came to Oried’s mind.

‘…the new spirit king.’

But Oried shook his head without realizing it.

“…no.”

It has to be.

I realized it instinctively.

Even more than himself, the Spirit King.

The hierarchy of that nameless spirit is even higher.

‘A higher rank than the Spirit King? It can’t happen.’

Oried denies the unfolding situation.

The moment the other spirit kings remained silent.

The voices began to flow.

That was the name.

“Hiel Chrysiad Four Seasons Leaf.”

…Chrissiad?

‘that…!’

It was the same name as the Spirit King of Darkness, which was thought to be nothing more than a rumor.

But before I could express my surprise.

An even more unbelievable story continues.

“I salute those of you who answered the call.”

It’s a calling.

then.

The fact that our spirit kings gathered in one place…

“…is ridiculous.”

Was it because of her Highel’s call?

*

Nymph.

The insignificant forest spirit looked at the dryad who was its king. It was Hyel who received the dryad’s blessing when he made a contract with his lord.

‘You too…’

But to a dryad, the past is just the past.

Dryad was the only one who bowed his head in respect.

Hiel kept this in mind.

‘My lord, you always said that.’

Noblesse Oblige With great power comes great responsibility.

Hayel did not forget the reason why she, who was just a nymph, was reborn as a {unique spirit}. Yes. Everything was the will of the World Tree, the mother of all things.

Therefore, Hiel did not hide anything.

“I will first ask for your understanding.”

“…?”

“It must have been a sudden call.”

How was it possible to summon the Spirit Kings in one place?

That was the power of the first World Tree.

Spirit King.

Although they may not be aware of it, they seem to be possessed by something.

Naturally, I had no choice but to find this bonfire.

“And one more thing. “I hope you won’t be angry at me for taking in spirits that have nowhere to go without asking for your permission.”

A sharp word comes back to Hiel’s words.

“Spirits with nowhere to go?”

It was Oried.

“Do you think that makes sense? The people of nature serve only their king. Forest spirits are only dryads. The fire spirit is only phoenix. And the earth spirit is only for me, Orried…!”

Oried’s voice became louder.

But it comes back.

An answer with a consistent tone.

“The spirits collected on the way to the bonfire have been returned to your territory, so if you have any questions, you can ask them directly and resolve them. But one thing.”

Hiel warned.

“Do not interrogate the poor abandoned spirits.”

“Question? “That is my authority…!”

“Your mother has not granted you such permission.”

A devastated continent.

Hiel protected the spirits who had lost their home in the safe Cloudy Spirit. However, he did not want his master’s territory to be known to many people.

My lord, who is watching from behind, would not want unnecessary disturbance.

“A mother…”

At those words, Oried and all the Spirit Kings, including her, became aware of Hyel’s existence. I see, that spirit is the spirit that was said to have received my mother’s blessing.

If you admit that fact.

“….”

I understood the whole situation that was unfolding now.

The influence of the World Tree in the {natural world} is truly absolute.

If the beings who had received their mother’s blessing wanted to gather together, it would not have been strange for them to come to the bonfire for no particular reason.

But I couldn’t accept it.

“Who is my mother?”

A majestic voice rings out.

The Flame Spirit King who remained silent.

Phoenix parted his lips.

“My mother has already rotted and crumbled to dust. Orried is right. “At this moment, the world trees that have taken root on the Arcana continent are not my mother.”

Grumbling.

Flames rose up as if threatening Hiel.

“I have never had a mother so weak!”

Ariel nods.

“I heard the news that was carried by the wind. “The World Tree, which took root in northern Antonium, will not be able to survive even a day without the dragon’s care…”

Zeus adds strength to their words.

“The imperfection is the evidence.”

“So, you all had the same thoughts as me?”

“Oried.”

“Could you please not say my name Dryad?”

The dryad looked at the situation.

In front of the bonfire, the forces were divided into two. No, it would be meaningless to say that it was divided into two. Everyone except himself was denying the existence of Hiel.

“I’m sorry.”

The dryad who watched the action was disgraceful toward Hayel. It seemed like his weakness, as flaccid as a leaf, was providing unnecessary conflict to Hiel.

however.

“okay.”

Hiel is a being that closely resembles ‘someone’.

“I guess you guys need proof.”

Yes, proof of underestimation.

“Dryad, I would like to thank you for your trust.”

He was someone who always made overestimation come true.

I will prove it.

At Hiel’s declaration, a strange look lingered in the eyes of the Spirit Kings.

Suoooo.

In tension.

The spirit’s bonfire is like an undying flame.

It burned more intensely.

*

Habits are very important.

“Whoa.”

Antonium nature.

After the Imperial Conference ended.

I immediately performed the boring class quest.

The amount of training has increased, but I am now used to it.

“It’s really easy.”

Of course, it’s by no means as soft as a cubic crystal… but

it doesn’t make your limbs tremble like a vibrating smartphone.

but.

“Have we arrived?”

If I had any energy left, I immediately unfolded the parchment because this guy’s body never rested. This was research material I received when I reunited with Marcelo before entering Antonium.

『Research Results of the Necronomicon, the Bible of the Demon World』

Lich Discus of the Demon World.

[Epic] grade item that he dropped.

No matter how smart Granfell was, he couldn’t acquire knowledge about the demon world right away. But it wasn’t like I, Ho-yeol Lee, could understand what he was thinking.

After all, he is still the powerful chief wizard of the Magic Tower.

It’s been a while since I abused my authority…

No, I requested research from the Magic Tower with proper authority.

“It exceeds expectations.”

Necromicon’s research is at the Magic Tower.

It was not carried out alone.

The names of co-researchers who could never have imagined this were mentioned.

“Marcelo, you don’t have to worry about the future anymore.”

A joint research book between Magic Tower and AAU.

“Isn’t the Magic Tower already steadily moving towards Gii?”

Why do they say it’s better to have a blank piece of paper? It is safe to say that the brains of reality and the Arcana continent came together to write it down.

Sreuk.

First, I looked at the table of contents.

──────

0. Lich Discus

1. To those who step into the demon world.

2. Beware of kings.

3. Incomprehensible power….

──────

Content that I could not understand when I read it on my own was organized and explained in a way that was still readable. Let’s look at the footnotes and see that this discus is a dense skull…!

‘It was all a password. So it wasn’t read.’

Anyway, thank you, Magic Tower.

For the first time in a while, I feel like my hard work at the Magic Tower is being rewarded.

As I was reading the table of contents, I came across an item that caught my eye.

──────

About the noble Paimon, the ruler of the western part of the Demon World.

──────

Paimon.

He was definitely different from the demons I had met so far. To say that I felt different simply because he was a high-ranking demon lord, hadn’t I also encountered Gamigin and Buer?

‘You definitely need to know yourself and know your enemy.’

It seems that Granfell also agrees with that, but the snout did not pour out indiscriminate disparagement of the devil.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I was able to read the research materials calmly.

sparkle.

Blinking vision.

Not just once.

Continuously updated message.

I was shocked.

[Hidden Quest: Proof of Flame]

[Hidden Quest: Proof of Earth]

[Hidden Quest: Proof of Ice]…

I had a gut feeling.

Hiel, it’s you.

But no matter how similar it is, it’s the same.

“It’s proof, so it’s always welcome.”

There’s no need to be like that guy’s proof love…!
