“Ivan! Are you okay!”
Ivan, who suddenly regained consciousness at Delfino’s shouts that hit his ear, nodded.
“I’m okay.”
Delfino and Ferocious Tooth were vigilant in all directions with sharp eyes. It was just before the World Tree called him. Perhaps the time, in reality, has not passed.
“You don’t have to be too vigilant. It’s already gone.”
“What happened?”
“The World Tree has called me. We talked.”
“Talked with the World Tree?”
Delfino looked very puzzled. The World Tree was like the God of elf. Ivan said that he suddenly faced God, that’s why he couldn’t understand it.
“That’s right. It talked a lot more than I thought. It must be bored by itself. I’ll tell you the details later.”
After that, Ivan turned his gaze and looked at Elena Evenwood. She looked drained for a moment.
‘Well, it would not be easy to host the spirit of the World Tree, even for a moment.’
The World Tree is a transcendent that has deified the collective consciousness of the elves, and all elves share the divinity of the World Tree.
Even so, not all elves were able to summon the World Tree because it was too heavy of a burden for a single elf to bear.
It was something that only a very few elves with very high stamina could do, and they were called shamans of the World Tree.
She is a shaman because the first being who responded to the World Tree was a woman. After that, mostly only women became shamans of the World Tree.
“Can I ask who you are now? Elena Evenwood.”
Elena Even Wood erased her tired look at those words and spoke calmly.
“I am Elena Evenwood. The younger sister of Ciarin Evenwood, the shaman of the World Tree, and one who once wanted to become a shaman.”
Contrary to how she had never felt any emotion before, she now seemed forced to pretend to be indifferent. It meant that her emotions were very severe.
It didn’t seem to be because of what she said, more because of the aftermath of having the World Tree hosted in her body.
Even The World Tree, which is transcendent, showed its emotions by saying that it was destined to burn and disappear. How could an individual fully bear such heavy emotions?
Elena Evenwood came back to her usual appearance the next day, apparently feeling settled. Here, the usual appearance means a state of expressionless enough to doubt whether she is a living being.
“Did you rest well?”
“Yes. Sleeping well anywhere is my specialty.”
“That’s a relief. How do you feel about meeting the World Tree?”
“It wasn’t a very pleasant meeting. I still feel itchy here.”
Ivan poked over his eye patch and pointed. And he spoke bluntly.
“I understand your situation, but honestly, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me. What’s important is your request, and what kind of compensation we can receive, isn’t it?”
“I understand. I’ll tell you about it.”
She took the map out of her arms and unfolded it. It was a continental map in which the topography was drawn in quite a detail. Although villages or roads were not marked, natural objects such as mountains, rivers, and valleys were displayed quite well.
Elena Evenwood started explaining while pointing to several marked places.
“Not long ago, a series of mysterious and evil rituals were performed. As a result, the dimensional barrier was shaken, and the borders of the fairy forest collapsed. Everything has now been restored, but the damage is accumulating little by little each time the ritual is performed.”
Ivan and Delfino’s expressions hardened as they looked at where she was pointing because one of them was somewhere familiar.
“This looks like the place where the demon worshipers used to be.”
A ritual performed by sacrificing an entire village. The very place where the power of the Great Evil, Deathbringer flowed.
Delfino’s eyes became very sharp.
