Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 379

Episode 379

The dark elves and human Awakened ones looked up at the sky with tense expressions.

For the past few days, they have been working to stage a showdown.

After burying the sacred relics in the mountain that Zeon had created, he created a magic circle connecting each sacred relic.

Dark elves and human Awakeneds split up to create nearly ten magic circles. Still, they didn’t show a single expression of difficulty.

They willingly poured everything they had into creating the magic circle.

While preparing to fight like that, there were several attacks by the devil.

The flying demons were the problem.

Wyverns and griffins have returned.

They still haven’t given up on the spirit.

It was Gaia who stepped forward at that time.

-Beep!

Gaia bursts into extraordinary tears.

At first, the wyverns and griffins took Gaia lightly.

That’s because Gaia’s appearance was so gentle. However, the wyverns and griffins had to experience hell.

Suddenly, a black light burst out from Gaia’s entire body.

Wyverns and griffins exposed to black light lost their lives without even being able to put up a proper fight.

The sight of the demons falling like poisoned flies was still vivid.

Gaia used the power that was in the Scythe of Death.

Demons of lower rank or weaker than Gaia could not escape this power.

Gaia has not only grown in size, but has also acquired the majesty of a descendant of Moby Dick.

Gaia was no longer a fragile entity in need of protection.

It had such powerful power that even the most powerful demons could not match it.

A spirit was flying alongside Gaia, guarding the forest.

Thanks to this, the villagers were able to focus on the task of unfolding the grand plan.

“Okay.”

“It’s complete.”

Eventually, they were each able to finish their assigned tasks.

Everyone gathered in one place.

Because it is the day when the grand plan that has been worked on for so long will be unfolded.

Terrywood told everyone.

“If we open the Great Barrier, the Black Forest, or rather the Primordial Forest, will be completely cut off from the outside world.”

Meanwhile, after a meeting, the villagers decided to call this place the ‘Forest of the Beginning’.

The first forest on Earth.

It was named that way with the hope that it would become the source and shelter of all living things.

We are closing it down for now because we don’t have the power to protect it, but we plan to open it up once we have the power to protect the Primordial Forest.

“Once the Great Barrier is opened, those without the Divine Water will not be able to see or enter this place. So everyone, please cherish the Divine Water.”

The divine substance that Terrywooden spoke of was a wooden tablet made from cloud tree.

Cloud tree plaques have been used since Kurayan to prove the identity of elves.

This is also something that Teruden kept from Kurayan, and it is something that other clans hardly have.

Just possessing a Cloud Tree Badge does not allow you to enter the Great Realm. Each clan has its own unique method of recognition.

The dark elf clan that settled in the primordial forest also had their own unique way of perceiving.

A person who owns a plaque that has not gone through this recognition process will never be able to pass through the Great Realm.

Teruden also gave cloud tree plaques to Zeon, Levin, and Brielle.

You are granted permission to enter the Primordial Forest at any time.

“You three are the benefactors of our village. Come and stay whenever you feel like it.”

“thank you.”

“I will now initiate the grand plan.”

Teriwooden nodded while looking at the dark elves. Then, the dark elves who had been waiting began to inject mana into the magic circle.

Phew!

The magic circle glowed and resonated.

Zeon, Briel, and Levin watched the scene with bated breath.

The magic circles surrounding the Forest of the Beginning were activated one after another, and the holy relic spit out a large pillar of light.

Everyone gaped in amazement at the sight of four pillars of light piercing through the sky.

“Wow!”

“wow!”

The children raised their arms and cheered.

The four pillars of light that had risen as if to make a hole in the sky soon spread out in all directions like a net.

The light entangled with each other and created a vast curtain.

The vastness of the forest completely covered the vast primordial forest.

Zeon muttered.

“You are a minister.”

“This is really cool. A grand battle system that covers the entire forest.”

Levin also couldn’t close his mouth in admiration.

Brielle stared into the vastness without blinking.

The vast expanse that seemed to set the sky on fire soon faded and disappeared completely.

At first glance, the Great War seemed to have failed. However, everyone inside could feel the presence of the Great War.

It means that although it is not visible, it actually exists.

The work of unfolding the confrontation was a great success.

Only those inside could sense the Great Realm, while those outside could neither see nor feel it until they got closer.

Even if you detect the Great Forest, you won’t be able to tell that such a huge forest exists inside.

The Great Battle also had powerful defensive capabilities.

It is possible to easily defend against moderate attacks from demons.

It’s safer here now.

Brielle muttered as if a memory had suddenly occurred to her.

“I wish my mom was here… … .”

High elves also needed forests.

When I thought of my mother and the villagers who are still struggling to survive in the dry land, tears came to my eyes.

I had never dared to return to the village because I was not qualified, but seeing these people rejoicing in the green forest where the great battle was unfolding reminded me of my mother.

Big tears flowed down Brielle’s cheeks without stopping.

That was when.

-Beep!

Gaia, who was floating freely in the air, read Brielle’s emotions and flew towards her.

Gaia gently circled around Brielle as if to comfort her. Yuri then flew around Brielle’s face and joined in the comfort.

As the saying goes, where the needle goes, the thread follows, and that was exactly the case with Gaia and Yuri.

“Thank you, kids!”

Brielle caressed Gaia and Yuri with her hands.

Just touching them brought Brielle no small amount of comfort.

That was when.

Brielle felt a strange sensation.

I felt something tickling deep inside my chest.

The tingling sensation reached my heart.

Thump! Thump!

Brielle’s little heart began to beat faster.

Brielle looked at Zeon with a sad expression at the unfamiliar body’s reaction.

“My… … come?”

“what’s the matter?”

“Something feels strange.”

Brielle fell to her knees, clutching her chest.

People nearby couldn’t hide their bewilderment at her unusual appearance.

At that moment, Harga walked out from among the people.

Harga looked at Brielle for a moment and then said.

“congratulations!”

“uh?”

“That’s a sign that the spirit is trying to connect with you.”

Haru incubated the spirit egg for eight whole years.

In a way, Yuri was a spirit born from nothing.

Without Haru’s supreme love and unconditional sacrifice, it would never have been born.

That is why no one knew better than her what process a spirit goes through when it is born.

Harga said, hugging Brielle tightly.

“There is no need to be afraid. Gaia and Yuri are the ones who triggered the birth of other spirits.”

“really?”

“Yes! In a way, you could say that all spirits born from now on are the children of two children. So don’t be afraid and just accept the changes in your body and emotions as they are.”

“okay!”

Brielle clasped her hands together in response.

As Haru said, it is about accepting one’s own changes as they are.

-Beep!

Gaia and Yuri were still gently swimming around Brielle.

The presence of the two was more reassuring than anything else.

Thanks to this, Brielle was able to focus more on her inner transformation.

Crispy!

At that moment, Brielle felt something breaking deep inside her heart.

Brielle shivered as if something was breaking out of an egg.

At that moment, something connected with her heart.

“ah!”

Brielle moaned without realizing it.

A new halo of light appeared before her eyes.

Small balls of light smaller than glass flew around Brielle dizzily, as if observing her.

“That?”

“Another spirit.”

The people and dark elves who saw the sight chattered in confusion.

In particular, the surprise of the dark elves was on a different level.

Because I never expected that another spirit would be born so quickly after Yuri.

“The spirit is coming back again.”

“Is the era of spirits dawning now?”

They looked at the spirits flying around Brielle with excited faces.

After a while, the light disappeared and the spirit’s true form was revealed.

It was a spirit that looked like a cute girl with transparent wings and the size of a fist.

Teriwooden muttered after confirming the spirit’s appearance.

“Sylph, a Sylph is born. Oh my god!”

He shed tears.

He recognized it immediately because the spirit that had made a contract with him in Kurayan before coming to Earth was a Sylph.

Brielle reached out to the spirit.

“A sylph?”

-Gyarrr!

The sylph’s laughter reached Brielle’s ears.

It was a sound only she could hear.

Sylphs, who looked like winged children, circled Brielle like mischievous children.

At that moment, Brielle instinctively knew what she had to do.

‘Will you make a contract with me? Sylph!’

– Willingly! Brielle.

The Sylph answered, sitting gently on Brielle’s shoulder. Brielle felt the bond between them growing stronger, becoming one with the Sylph.

‘Zeon must have felt the same way with Gaia.’

No matter how close you are to Gaia, there is a line you cannot cross. You didn’t feel it thanks to Gaia’s consideration, but now that you’ve made a contract with Sylph, you know it for sure.

No matter how close Gaia was to herself, the contractor was Zeon. Gaia’s heart couldn’t help but be drawn more to Zeon.

On the other hand, the Sylph who made a contract with Brielle was a being solely for her.

When I made a contract with Sylph, I felt like I knew the difference.

Then the sylph said.

– Won’t you give me a name too?

‘Your name is Lily. How is it?’

-I like it! Wow!

The sylph burst into laughter and flew high into the sky.

Lili, who was floating in the sky, soon approached Gaia and Yuri.

-Beep!

Gaia greeted Lily by wagging her tail.

Lili flew around excitedly, like a child meeting her parents.

“iced coffee!”

“Please, I hope this isn’t a dream… … .”

The dark elves were moved to see the spirits’ play.

Terrywood said to Brielle.

“Sylph is the spirit of wind.”

“Wind spirit?”

“Yes! It is a child who loves the wind and can control the wind. It may be weak because it was just born, but it will become stronger depending on how you raise it. Please take good care of Sylph.”

“Don’t worry. I know that much. Lily is my precious friend. I would never treat her carelessly.”

“thanks.”

“I have a favor to ask.”

“Tell me anything. I will listen to anything I can.”

“Let me go with just a blade of grass.”

“Grass? May I ask why?”

Brielle looked up at the distant sky at Terrywooden’s cautious question.

“I think it’s time now.”

“at the time?”

“When I return to my hometown, I want to show them what I see.”

A blade of grass, alive and vibrant with spirits.

That should be enough.

Convincing the townspeople that everything has stopped.
