Three springs (1)

The 1.2 km long giant attacked the army with just an outstretched hand.

“Deploy barrier magic! Block the fist!”

The wizards blocked the urgent strike of their fists.

High-strength barrier magic. Dozens of barriers are deployed in an instant, which can block any significant physical shock from cracking.

However, Wicker Man’s fists were not at a decent level.

-Gwadeuk?!

The screaming barrier shattered as if a hammer had hit a glass window.

And the fist that instantly broke the barrier falls to the ground with the pressure of destruction.

“uuu!”

Everyone screams. My fist touches.

-Cow!

A dizzying crash sound. The soldier who was right under his fist imagined a future where he would be blown up flat.

“uh?”

“Say, live… huh?”

The body was not crushed. There are no injuries anywhere. Those questions were resolved thanks to the black nun who came into the soldier’s sight.

“Hwa, Sister Hwaran?”

Hwaran blocked the huge fist with his heavy bare body. She was enduring that fist alone.

“It’s heavy.”

It’s not the weight that will end there. A huge wicker man measuring a whopping 1.2km tall. It was dozens of times the size of a normal Wicker Man.

The Dutch endured it through pure strength.

Bicheon Yacha Hwaran. The strongest strength in an expeditionary force made up of so-called superhumans. She mustered up her strength and raised her fist.

-······!

However, the opponent is a large man measuring 1.2km. By adding weight, they intended to crush Hwaran to death.

“Huh…!”

Even Hwaran was crushed by the heavy pressure. But at that moment, there is a body running, emitting brilliant light.

“In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit…!”

A saint who wields the club of a pagan god while bearing the name of a false god.

The Dagda’s club, swung by Estelle, hit the Wicker Man’s right arm violently.

A leaning wicker man. However, the body is firmly rooted in the earth. Only one arm went out of orbit for a moment.

“Everyone, it’s coming again!”

The soldiers cried out in frustration as they saw the fist about to swing again. It’s such a big thing. What is the meaning of having so many soldiers?

“We ignored this side’s firepower too much. Identify the coordinates of the wizard division.”

It was that moment. From the slave wizards in the rear, to the overflowing wizards assigned to the military.

Conversational power fired all at once. Fireballs rain down back and forth against the trees.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

From noble mtl dot com

Yggdrasil Wicker Man was hit by firepower pouring in from front and back.

“A large object of its size is no different from food for the knight, a small mobile weapon. The knights climb up and attack it.”

Corin quickly used his knights to climb the roots and run down the Wicker Man’s body.

-Grrr…!

-Gyaaa…!

The body of the Yggdrasil Wicker Man. Shadow demons were emerging there. But Corin just laughs.

“Don’t be scared. Demonic beasts that don’t have a sufficient numerical advantage in a limited space are no match for the knights. Arisha, Hwaran, we will break through.”

Hwaran fed a large amount of aurors to the chains that bound his body.

A super-massive chain that expands in an instant. It became a whip and instantly struck down the magical beasts pouring out of the Wicker Man’s body.

In an instant, hundreds of animals lost their footing and fell to their deaths. The Dutch and the Knights are digging into that gap.

“Get rid of it!”

“I’m so sick of hunting demonic beasts!”

Shadow Demon Beast.

In short, the original of monsters and demonic spirits.

It is the source of ancient monsters or demons.

However, its combat power can never be compared to that of monsters or demonic spirits.

With insufficient mass that cannot be incarnated and is only incarnated, it cannot compete with a specialized knight who hunts demons.

“It’s pierced!”

“Aim for the head!”

“Find the Wicker Man’s weakness!”

Shadow Demon Beast. Wicker Man.

It would definitely be a lie to say that it isn’t a threat.

“The scale is amazing, but the technology is musty and old. Compared to the latest super robots here, it’s nothing special.”

Wicker Man.

A large unit that combines trees by making sacrifices. Even if you just remove the sacrifice, which is the brain stem unit, the Wicker Man’s function will stop.

“Let’s go quickly.”

Korin focused on the sun, Klau Solas. Divine power may work, but it is to counter the opponent’s pattern.

-Guuu!

At that very moment, Wicker Man’s whole body burst into flames. At the moment of crisis, the sacrifice was burned and the entire body was transformed into a flaming giant.

“danger···!”

But that attempt didn’t work. This is because the moment the flames rose, the huge flames were absorbed somewhere.

<Embodiment of the Sun – Cloud Solas>

The Wicker Man’s Sky. The huge sun was absorbing all the flames and revealing its majesty.

“Oh oh······.”

“Tae, Taeyang.”

“Lord Corrin…”

The envy of knights and soldiers turned to one person. He brought the embodied sun down towards the Wicker Man.

“The power will be halved, but can you withstand it? It’s like a wooden doll.”

The sun beating down. The Wicker Man was crushed by the sun beating down on his head.

-Tatak!

The Wicker Man’s body burns as soon as it touches it. Even if it is made of the wood of Yggdrasil, which absorbs divine power, the sun is not large enough to be digested by it alone.

The Wicker Warrior, a combination of Yuel and Cranel, would have reacted more quickly. That’s because it has a cooling function and a heat resistance function in the core.

-Woah!

The 1.2km giant is crushed. But Corin did not let down his guard. Because the real thing is different.

“Yggdrasil Wicker Man Thunderbolt Unit Injection”

Just before the Wicker Man’s head was burned by the sun. Something protruded from the heart of the offering.

-Uh, something came out…

-What about that light?

-Yo, intercept!

Wizards and archers fired magical power.

Magic and magical power fired by thousands of people. Consumable magic items, generously equipped for this war, soar toward the target.

However, it demonstrated miraculous maneuvering flight and evaded the attacks.

In the darkness, it radiates on its own, emitting the most brilliant light, and even though it is targeted, no attack can even graze it.

“What… such ridiculous mobility…”

A knight from the Academy who participated in the expedition felt that it closely resembled ‘a certain movement.’

Yes, the infamous practice target from the Academy days. It’s a movement similar to that of a spirit body.

A feast of overwhelming G. It boasts miraculous mobility as if inertia is no problem… No, it has even thrown off the restraints of being an elemental body…

“no way······.”

The aircraft descends. The driving force that moved the gigantic Yggdrasil Wicker Man. That brain unit.

-thud!

It was not a blunt object obtained through a contract with a lower-level spirit such as an elemental body.

The materialization of pure spirit. It is a type of miracle that willingly reveals itself not through a contract but simply through a request.

Only the request of the Druid, the agent of nature, makes the spirits materialize like this.

“Damn, what kind of spirit is it? I think it’s a wind type….”

“Anti-spirit protection techniques. Anti-spirit magic techniques on standby.”

Form a formation and line up. I don’t know what kind of spirit it is, but it was a mistake to show up alone in front of such an army.

“It’s fast, but you’re trying to fight an army of knights and wizards alone. It’s happening.”

Despite the overwhelming force, Druid Yuel trembled with anxiety.

She had met numerous spirits along the way. From low-level spirits of nature to powerful high-level spirits.

Some were like winged dwarfs, some were like beasts, and some were in the form of pure elements.

But I have never seen a human-shaped spirit that glows so clearly.

“Dumnorix…”

Druids who were reluctant to get involved in the affairs of human society belonged to the military order of Tates Balthazar.

He is not just a forest sage, but one of the greatest sages among druids.

If he directly commands a spirit, then what kind of spirit can he be with?

“ah···.”

A being that only comes down as a legend even among druids. Yuel noticed the legend and urgently shouted.

“Everyone, avoid it! That’s the Spirit King——!”

The next moment, the swirling wind turned into a gust and passed by.

“uh?”

“huh?”

A little strong wind. It passed through my entire body. The knights and wizards tilted their heads in discomfort, which shifted their focus.

-Grurrruk······.

It was a terrible sight.

The human flesh falls into pieces due to the center of gravity being shifted once.

“What?!”

“What is this…!”

Hundreds of people were killed in an instant. The devastation was even clearer because the ground was clearly illuminated by the sun.

「Yggdrasil Wicker Man – Spirit King of Wind」

Spirit King.

A legendary being that is impossible to even face with elementalists, and only the great sage among druids can face.

It decided to willingly bury the humans of this space in order to fulfill a favor of an old friend.

“Old King.”

At that very moment, the knight descends. A spearman with a silver arm stood in front of the Spirit King, who cut down hundreds of soldiers.

“You beat people to death, you don’t just kill them like that.”

The Spirit King did not wait for the knight’s words. Dominating and tuning the surrounding atmosphere, it unleashed dozens of deadly blades.

-Squeak…!

The God King’s silver arm, Argetlam, blocks the wind blade that is launched in an instant. Corin Locke, who avoided a fatal blow and ended up with his entire body being chopped to pieces, comes right in front of us and throws out a spear.

-Quaa!

Compressed wind blocks the tip of the spear. The spear, which seemed to have been aimed at the core of the storm, could not advance any further.

<Bagua spear (八掛槍) double-headed sword with eight points.>

Instead of finishing the failed spear strike, he twists it slightly and thrusts upward from below.

The wind compressed by the mysterious skill of the spear passed by the Spirit King’s thigh without any time to respond.

“······?”

The spirit king feels threatened for a moment and pushes it out of space. He was thrown back by the wind that struck the entire front, and stared at it while carrying the silver spear on his shoulder.

‘It’s strength is close to that of a spirit body, but it is surrounded by compressed wind, so active defense is possible. Does it feel like the omnidirectional shield is always in operation?’

Measure and see through the enemy by directly hitting them. The strategy starts from there.

“I wanted to deal with the Fire Spirit King, but… this one isn’t bad either.”

I keep my eyes on the Spirit King of Wind, who has his feet rooted to the ground and is blowing huge winds.

Among his spear techniques, there is a technique to counterattack by absorbing and reversing the energy of a rampaging enemy.

A sharp wind suddenly took the shape of a tornado and struck down. He just drew a circle with his spear against the fierce wind that would cut his whole body to pieces.

<Bagua Chang (八掛槍) Taegeukjin>

Absorb the rushing wind through the window. It explodes the aura waveform and distorts the point where the force hits.

In short, the principle is similar to scattering a typhoon by detonating a bomb at its core. In this case, the direction of attack is changed with minimal force.

“???”

The Spirit King of Wind makes a strange face at the mysterious phenomenon of martial arts. A human stirred the compressed wind with a spear a few times and dispersed it.

It’s bound to be weird and strange.

“It’s a precious body, so it doesn’t come out often in this world of Saba, right? In terms of experience, it would be better to be a high-level spirit.”

“······.”

The Spirit King knew that it was an insult and ridicule. Just before his anger was directed at the insignificant human again.

“I’m sorry, but we are a ‘group’. We are not interested in fair one-on-one duels.”

Creepy.

This was the feeling the Spirit King felt.

A sixth sense that can be felt by materializing and having a physical body to manifest. Before the Spirit King knew the true nature of that creepy sensation, it had already been shot.

Aden-style Arisha-style Heavenly Sword──

Eyes that see even dimensional cracks.

Those eyes are the materialized body of the Spirit King. It sees things that it cannot normally see and is wielded accurately.

“If you were going to be held back by the Spirit King, you wouldn’t have come in droves like this.”

──Inexhaustible. Area breakthrough.

The Spirit King, whose impossible core was exposed and cut down, was forcibly expelled from reality.

* * * *

After defeating the Yggdrasil Wicker Man and the Spirit King, we were finally able to reach the spring after marching for two days.

There are two Yggdrasil Wicker Man and Spirit King that appear in the World Tree field. It seems that our gatekeeper was the Spirit King of Wind.

-It’s Sam!

-Look around!

Soldiers surveyed the surroundings and secured the spring. They feel thirsty, but no one approaches the spring.

This is what I found out over the past few days.

In this strange world where the World Tree extends, you can’t let down your guard.

Well, in addition to the Shadow Demons and the Balthazar branch tribes, all kinds of mythical monsters have appeared, so it’s worth being wary of anything.

In fact, when I found Sam, I was instructed not to touch it until I was told to do so.

I looked around at the scenery of the spring.

The center of the spring is covered like a ceiling by the roots of the World Tree. There is a golden fountain that emits its own light.

A bright and beautiful golden fountain. We know the name of this spring.

“Corrin, this is…”

“Huh… you win.”

And this… paradoxically, was a disaster.
