Episode 54

“That, that’s enough!”

How much time has passed?

After a while of cursing and thinking about that kid, the tree trunk monster shouted urgently.

“Is this enough?”

As I did this, my emotions got the best of me and I ended up using some rough language, but I think this is enough for that monster to trust me.

I looked at the tree trunk monster with that thought in mind, but for some reason, its expression was not good.

What should I say? Should I say that his already wrinkled face looks even more wrinkled?

“……What on earth is your relationship with these guys……”

The spider next to him shook its head as it watched the tree trunk monster hesitate for some reason, seemingly trying to distance itself.

Now I see that the spider guy was also keeping a little more distance from me.

[Get away from me, necromancer.]

“Why are you joking again?”

Briskly.

As I approached, the spider guy took a step back.

I continued to take steps towards that guy, and the spider guy was startled and stepped back, and that was when a strange game of hide-and-seek began.

“Ajing, what are you doing?”

Gun gun gun.

It was only when I saw Gob approaching me, still covering his long ears with his hands, that my gaze turned back to the tree trunk monster.

“Anyway, I know for sure that you have nothing to do with them. You may come in… fine.”

Although his face was hard and his voice was trembling, the tree trunk monster slowly turned around and walked towards the path leading into the village.

“You can take it off now… Ah, I guess you won’t be able to hear it anyway.”

As I pulled away Gob’s hand, which was still covering his ears with his hand in front of me, Gob, who only then realized it was over, started jumping around.

“Landing, foreigner! Our Ma-eung, Ong Geong Hwang Yeong-haeng!”

The guy overreacted and followed the tree trunk monster into the village, wondering if it was that good of me to go into the village.

I followed the gob and went inside, and the spider also stepped inside, keeping some distance from me.

No, I should say I put my foot down.

“Stranger, listen while you walk.”

Step, step.

As we entered the village, for some reason, the scenery that was not visible from the outside began to spread out far into the distance.

“I am just a gatekeeper. It is up to me to let you in, but whether you help us is a matter I cannot decide on my own.”

Most of them looked like bugs or insects, living in holes or webs made in trees that had grown so tall that they seemed to reach the sky.

Occasionally, those who appeared to be half-human or transformed into humans emerged from structures that resembled crude buildings.

“So I would like to take you to the one who first nurtured our forest… and how about you?”

And they all stopped in their tracks and looked at me.

There was hostility and curiosity, and the occasional smile… … .

Most of them just looked at me with fear.

“Do you have to let him know before you help me?”

“……At least he is someone who is respected by all of us……and he is the only one among us who has ever conversed with a human. Wouldn’t it be faster to talk to him?”

Of course, since I was used to receiving this kind of gaze quite often, it didn’t bother me that much.

Rather, it reminded me of the days outside the tower, and it actually made me feel at ease.

“Then guide me.”

Step, step.

After hearing my words, the tree trunk monster walked endlessly.

He walked and walked, and the mana became thicker and thicker until it reached a point where it seemed as if the entire area was filled with mana, and only then did he stop walking.

“……Arrived.”

“Grandma! Grandma!”

Knock knock knock.

At the sound of Gob’s jumping voice, something walked out from within the boundless thick mana.

[……iced coffee.]

At first glance, it resembled a human being.

Except that it emits blue light, floats in the air, and is made of mana.

[you are…….]

And I knew the name of that being.

It’s a name that appears only in myths or stories, but it’s not that surprising that it exists.

“……A spirit?”

It nodded, taking the form of a blue-haired woman holding the goblin that was running towards it.

[They’re called Dryads, to be exact… but… that’s not important right now.]

As the dryad’s gaze turned to the tree trunk monster, he lowered his posture as if kneeling.

“Forest wise man, your judgment is needed.”

She stares at the tree trunk monster for a long time.

Something intangible was being transferred from the monster to her.

[A stranger… … Certainly, he is a being that only appears in legends… … But I have no choice.]

She opened her mouth after a long time.

She looked at me with a hollow smile.

[Follow me, this is going to be a long story.]

Thud, thud.

I followed her, emitting a mysterious aura along with Mana.

***

A huge old tree.

She guided us into a large space inside a large tree that could easily accommodate dozens of people, and sat down in the middle of the spacious space.

[It might be uncomfortable since you won’t be touching things like furniture, but I’d like you to sit on the floor.]

“Okay.”

dump.

As soon as she sat down on the floor, she started talking.

[I roughly read that child’s memories, and it said that you are a stranger who came from somewhere else to help us.]

“It’s nice that we don’t have to talk about it again.”

So, without any prior explanation, it was time to get straight to the point.

“I will help you to completely drive out those Holy Nation guys from this world.”

[… … Is it really possible?]

She spoke to me in a voice that was half questioning, half desperate.

[Can you really drive out the authors who invaded our world?]

I couldn’t help but question her, who was acting so humbly compared to the power she possessed.

And that question combined with the question I had been asking myself a moment ago and came back as a bigger question.

“It looks like you have incredible magical power. It also seems like you have the skills to control that magical power.”

[… … It’s a small talent, though.]

As she commented, this was by no means a trivial talent.

“It was a waste of time to create this forest and keep this village out of those guys’ sight. Do you know that even modesty can be poisonous if overdone?”

[… … .]

I spoke to her, who kept her mouth shut as if she had nothing to say, as if I was pressuring her.

“If I’m going to help you at least, if I’m going to drive those guys out, I need to know what your situation is and why you’re acting this way. Answer me.”

In that moment, tears flowed from the dryad’s eyes.

[Hey, necromancer, take it easy.]

“Hey, Inggang……?”

Just as Spider and Gob were about to interfere with the ominous atmosphere, the Dryad opened her mouth.

[It’s not that we… …don’t fight.]

Shiver shiver.

The dryad spoke in a trembling voice, wrapping herself around my body as if terrified.

[I can’t fight, that’s all… … .]

“……Tell me more.”

As expected, there was a reason.

I stopped pushing her and looked at her calmly. After a while, she seemed to have calmed down and her voice returned, and she opened her mouth calmly.

[The sovereignty of this world was held alternately by humans and monsters, this time humans held sovereignty… … and we fought to hold it.]

It is said that humans fought with their numerous populations instead of their meager powers, while monsters fought with their great strength and the power to come back to life after death.

[So just when we were almost done defeating the humans… …they showed up.]

Holy Land.

It is said that they suddenly devoured all the humans and started fighting the monsters by taking over their fight.

[At first we were confused, but we didn’t stop fighting, because they were also in human form anyway… … .]

That was a mistake.

In an increasingly trembling voice, she began to recount the events of that time.

[The monsters disappeared one by one, at first I thought they were just tired and resting, but… … that wasn’t the case.]

With a pale face, she spoke with difficulty.

[They… … didn’t kill the monsters. But… … they had turned into something that couldn’t even be called monsters anymore.]

By then I realized what had happened.

“……They brainwashed me.”

As is often the case with religion, the Holy See guys will do anything to worship the Pope as a god.

And one of the things these guys do best is to bully other guys into believing in their god.

[Unlike humans, our numbers do not increase. Even if we seek rest, our memories will be erased and we will be reincarnated into that body again.]

“If you get beat up by them, you won’t even be able to do that?”

Of course, they won’t kill monsters.

They will do anything to make you believe in their god, the Pope.

If that happens, the number of monsters will gradually decrease… … .

‘In the end, there will be no one left here, neither monsters nor humans.’

All that’s left are crazy fanatics who worship the Pope as a god.

[We… … We are just afraid… … We don’t want to be like them… … .]

Knock, knock.

The dryad said so with tears in her eyes.

In place of the dryad, the tree trunk monster continued to speak.

[When the monsters saw that sight, they were afraid to fight anymore, and the dryad, who was the strongest among us, created a forest to hide us.]

“If we don’t fight, it won’t happen again.”

For those who no longer have the will to fight, this might be the best option.

The dryad continued speaking to me as I nodded.

[… … Now we had no choice but to hide forever and die slowly, we could only make up stories of hope, even though we knew they were nothing more than rumors.]

Sigh.

Her gaze turned to Gob.

“Grandma?”

[I still can’t believe it, even though I was the one who made up that story… … that a stranger like you would come.]

Tsdam tsdam.

As she stroked Gob’s head, the dryad spoke to me in a trembling voice.

[But… … I’m sorry, we don’t think we can help you.]

She bows her head like that.

In that gloomy atmosphere, I said to her.

“Hey, what if this happens?”

[… … What do you mean?]

Swish.

As he watched the sap slowly forming on his palm, the dryad’s face slowly hardened.

She seemed to feel fear at the sight of a power she had never seen before, but her expression immediately changed to a blank expression at my subsequent words.

“If only I had the power to drive them all out and return your brainwashed compatriots to their original state.”

The guys who fought the longest outside the tower, Seongguk.

“So, are you willing to help me drive them out?”

There were already countless ways to de-brainwash those guys in my head.
