I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 35

#35 Interpretation is better than dreaming (3)

Before I knew it, the surroundings were filled with souls.

The spirits of elves quietly staring in the direction from which the monsters came.

The gaze was directed somewhere beyond the monster.

“Where are you looking?”

“I feel like there’s something behind me.”

“Heh heh… I guess so.”

Paramon also seemed to know something.

Do you feel the same way as the elves?

Although the battle was in full swing, none of the spirits looked at the monster.

“They’re not really small monsters.”

It was obvious at first glance.

The battle was so one-sided that it could almost be called a massacre.

Paramon Inspiration turned his gaze beyond it.

“The real enemies are the demons, the beasts, and the undead…”

“….”

“They say that even if you kill the undead, they don’t die. The devil goes without saying even more.”

It was Elder Paramon who kept explaining how strong the Demons were, but it didn’t reach my ears.

It didn’t feel like that.

There was not a soul that sympathized with the words of inspiration.

“Is there anything else? Like… something that would make the elves angry?”

“hmm…”

Even as they fought, the elves looked calm.

No one was afraid of the monsters, and no elf expressed anger at them.

There was even an elf who shot a bow while talking to his companion next to him.

However, the faces of the spirits were frighteningly cold.

The expression on his face when Heo Ju, who had settled in the World Tree, shook its branches.

Something felt off.

“….If I had to guess, I guess there could be a necromancer. Is there something bothering them?”

“Yes. The elf elders are very angry.”

At my words, a soul looked at me.

His face was still cold.

“Elder?”

– …..

One by one, the souls’ gazes turned towards me.

Instead of anger, I felt sorry for them.

That’s exactly the kind of expression a person makes when they have no shame.

“Tell me. I’m here to help you, elders.”

The elders in the cemetery were just like this.

Their hearts were heavy as if there was something more they had to do.

“What are you looking at so sadly?”

A soul from a place where battles with monsters are in full swing.

Their faces were especially cold.

“If it makes the elders angry…is the necromancer doing something to the World Tree again?”

Nod.

It seemed like that wasn’t all there was.

There was one more thing that made me feel angry.

“…”

The spirits moved their mouths as if they were trying to say something, but the shape was not clearly visible.

For a moment, his mouth seemed blurry.

It is not common for one’s soul to suddenly become clouded.

“….Can you say that again?”

This time even the face was blurry.

The condition of all souls was similar.

This is not a problem for my soul.

I’ve seen this before.

If there is a problem just before attaining Buddhahood or if the soul is entangled.

“The World Tree…!”

I turned my head urgently.

It was the direction of the elves, not the direction of the world tree.

Even in a one-sided battle, the evil that had fallen on the elves did not disappear.

If the battle is going this way, there shouldn’t be such a thick cloud.

Why didn’t I realize this sooner?

Regardless of the distance from the monster, all elves had a sign of approval around them.

“Sir! We have to go to the World Tree right now!”

Inspiration stopped my body from jumping out.

“Just wait a minute.”

“Now is the time…”

“When do you plan on running?”

My body floated up.

“Fortunately, you came at just the right time.”

“Inspiration Clocell!”

“Go to where the World Tree is.”

The wind blew all over my body.

At this speed, we’ll be able to reach the World Tree in no time.

Wheeeeeek –

The trees disappeared behind and the surrounding scenery quickly passed by.

“…!”

Until just now, I thought my body was uncomfortable because of wind resistance.

But that wasn’t it.

My whole body felt hot as if something hot had touched it.

“town….”

I also felt a stabbing pain.

The World Tree, which was approaching, also seemed strange in its appearance.

A pungent smell tickled my nose, and it felt like something was burning.

And underneath it, someone was lying down.

“Romenel…!”

Both Romenel and the World Tree were in shambles.

The amulets attached to the gold chain were blackened and Romenel was mumbling as if he had lost his soul.

“Ugh…”

When you get closer, you can tell for sure.

This smell was coming from a ghost that had been burned to death.

Judging by the concentration, there were more than one or two.

“I will cure you.”

Clocell took out the potion and poured it into Romenel’s mouth.

But that’s not likely to work.

Because I wasn’t physically injured.

“I don’t even think about hiding it anymore.”

The curses were running wild.

Fortunately, it hasn’t taken full shape yet, as it seems to have only just begun, but it’s probably only a matter of time before it does.

We need to figure out where the curse begins.

Maybe I could figure out the location now.

As soon as I touched the bell, a sound rang in my head.

“….”

The sound of a beast.

At first glance, it sounded like a human voice.

Despair, fear, pain.

It was a feeling so distinct that it made my heart ache.

Daughter –

It wasn’t the illusion of bewitching people that Heo Ju showed last time.

A bitter grudge contained in a curse that has not yet taken shape.

These were the triggers for the resentment.

Daughter –

“Tsk tsk….”

It’s not a fortune teller.

It was almost like he was mocking the world tree.

The words that came out of his mouth were clearly blaming the World Tree.

“It’s because you didn’t let me down properly that it’s like this…”

As the spirit grew darker, the smell of carbon grew stronger.

It seemed like the smell was rising even from my body that felt hot.

My whole body ached and my throat felt sore.

“I must have screamed so much that my throat hurts…”

It feels like I’ve been screaming for days on end.

The owner of this pain must already have a sore throat.

Even my mind will not be sound.

For a moment, I felt really annoyed.

It wasn’t my feeling.

It seemed like something that didn’t have to happen happened because of this.

It seemed like a problem between Romenel and the World Tree.

Daughter –

It must be resolved while the gold string and talisman are holding it together.

He put his hand on the World Tree and shook the bell.

Daughter –

Another scream passed by my ears.

The scenes that flashed through my mind were horrific.

An elf blackened by fire.

An elf dying, bleeding from severed limbs.

Even the countless elves who have already died.

Daughter –

But they were not the ones who vented their anger.

The moment the image of an elf screaming without focusing came to mind.

My heart ached.

“…..”

It was a despair so dizzying that it made my mind dizzy.

What on earth could possibly cause my emotions to be so messed up?

Unfortunately, right now, position is more important than emotion.

Some places were swaying as if azaleas had bloomed.

A place where the World Tree can be vaguely seen.

Monsters that covered the sky in black were also seen.

It was the direction the souls were looking at earlier.

“It was this elf that made me angry.”

They were putting a curse on the World Tree through the elves.

“….”

Clocelle’s inspiration made Romenel lie on the floor.

“I guess it’s another curse. Are you planning on sending me back this time?”

I shook my head.

“It’s not possible this time.”

The medium that still casts the curse is an elf.

If it was a completed curse like last time, then it would be different, but if we kill them now, the elf will have to turn everything upside down on his own.

There are things you can do to prepare for recoil when shooting.

It’s called a veil.

Coincidentally, the elf’s current state was a blessing in itself and a ward off evil.

It serves as a passage that sends curses to the World Tree.

Naturally, the end was an elf.

“I’ll have to die for the necromancer to take it…”

It was an extremely cruel method.

“There is an elf who can create the necessary han for the curse.”

“…I get it. We have to save that elf.”

Perhaps because they were old men who had lived through war, they understood quickly.

“We must rescue him before the curse is completed.”

It wasn’t just a matter of saving one elf.

As the curse grew stronger, all sorts of misfortunes began to gather nearby.

We’ll have to go and see, but for the elves in combat, things may have gotten worse.

The World Tree is their source, so in the worst case scenario, it wouldn’t be strange if they fell like Romenel.

“That’s why you’re aiming for the World Tree.”

“Did you find the location?”

“The location is obscured by something. I only saw the general outline, but… the direction is definitely that way.”

“That’s the place you were looking at earlier.”

I felt Clocell’s inspiration moving his mana as he prepared to take flight again.

“It’s difficult to fly.”

“Is there a problem?”

“The sky was full of monsters.”

Clocell’s inspiration’s answer was simple.

“Then there must be necromancers there. Let’s go right away.”

What kind of nonsense is this inspiration talking about now···.

There seemed to be some way, but there were just too many of them.

There is no way, logically speaking, that a knight wielding a sword can fight in the air.

I think Paramon Inspiration will do something, but his power will probably be weaker than on land.

That means that Elder Clocell has to face the monsters alone…

What if we even get some help from the elves?

“Do you know what the absolute laws of air combat are?”

Clocelle laughed as he lifted our bodies up.

“It’s a disadvantage to have wings.”

“….yes?”

“If you point in a direction like last time, it will fly there.”
