Chapter 135: Spirit Tree
Skeleton King maniptes it’s 3m+ frame faster than I imagined, and its swings were like a gale. Thanks to the Insight, Presence Detection, and Evasion skills maxing out and obtaining the Mind’s Eye skill, I could evade the tempestuous attacks of the Skeleton King and strike with Ice Bringer.
The Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Generals who served the Skeleton King were taken on by Kaede and Titan. Sophia and the girls were annihting the Skeleton Knights who couldn’t move well in the Sanctuary Field.
The Skeleton King needs to be defeated before the Sanctuary Field disappears. I enveloped my whole body in magic power more powerfully.
Whatever the material of armor that is, the jet-ck armor of the Skeleton King disys umon defensive power. Nevertheless, the movements of the Skeleton King were gradually worsening.
The joints I stabbed were starting to freeze.
I quickly moved in and mmed my left palm on the knee of the Skeleton King.
<em>Bakyan!</em>
The armor on its knee broke into very small pieces.
I activated 【Dposition】 with my left palm, destroying the armor.
I quickly slipped by its side, looked back and struck the exposed knee with Ice Bringer.
Thrown off bnce, the Skeleton King copsed and the earth shook. Going around before the Skeleton King could get up, I overloaded the heel of my palm with as much magic power as I could and released it on the face of the Skeleton King. Activating 【Dposition】, its head crumbled. The arms and legs of the Skeleton King, who was trying to get up, then lost strength, and it copsed then and there.
When the Skeleton King was defeated, the summoned lost strength, and when the light of the Sanctuary Field disappeared, all that remained were magic stones and armors scattered about.
「Are you unhurt?」
「I’m okay. Good work. Is everyone alright?」
The girls rushed to my side.
「Lulu-chan, you okay too?」
「Yes! I leveled up lots!」
「Magic stone aside, there’s a lot of armor left behind too.」
Akane surveyed the surroundings, confirming that the Skeleton Knights and Generals dropped weapons and armor.
「How about we collect the magic stones and the seemingly usable weapons and armor?」
「Roger!」
「Yes.」
Akane and Laeva retrieved the magic stones and equipment.
Sophia removed the armor of the Skeleton King, taking out arge magic stone.
「Takumi-sama, what was asking for our help was this.」
Aside from the magic stone, Sophia held out something that appeared to be a ping-pong sized nt seed.
「A seed of something?」
「It says it’s the seed of the World Tree.」
Could Sophia hear the voice of the seed? The seed she held out was apparently the seed of the World Tree.
「The World Tree? What is the World Tree’s seed in a ce like this?」
「The World Tree, Yggdrasil, purifies the earth through the Earth Pulse. However, Yggdrasil, which is in Yggurle Kingdom, can not purify the Earth Pulse and the earth alone. It is impossible topletely purify this world where people and monsters inhabit, but without the World Tree, this world would be engulfed by monster nests. Therefore the World Tree produces a seed, which is a branch of itself, known as a Spirit Tree.」
It would seem that the abnormally strong Skeleton King took the World Tree’s seed into itself and evolved abnormally. I had won because I was inside the Sanctuary Field, but the thought that if had this not been an undead, but rather a different monster of the same rank made a cold sweat run down my back.
Why did the Skeleton King absorb the seed of the World Tree? That we don’t know. Originally, the World Tree bears peach-like fruits, and the seeds within are strictly managed by Yggurle Kingdom.
「So then, does this World Tree seed want us to do something?」
「Yes, it says it wants to be nted in thisnd. However, it would like for us to share magic power of the Light attribute with it.」
For it to bud, it apparently needs Light attribute magic power.
It originally didn’t need it, but having been taken in by the Skeleton King, it had weakened from its strength being stolen and it was difficult for it to bud.
With that being the case, Akane, Laeva, and I injected Light attribute magic power into the seed of the World Tree.Status
