SSS-Class Ranker Return

World Tree Sprout (2)

“Why, why?”

“Let’s get out of the way.”

The half-elves were tensed at the sight of Lokan approaching, but they stood firm. It was just the buds of the world tree they were risking their lives to gather, but Rokhan didn't care and took action immediately.

Like the user who discovered this method, it is possible to persuade over and over again, but I wonder if it is necessary.

In the end, it was enough to talk about the results.

“what”

"No!"

Pushing them away with a light fight, Rokhan immediately took an intermediate health potion from his bosom and poured it into the bud of the World Tree.

It was a waste to pour it into just one, but it was an unavoidable choice for the fastest and most reliable effect.

“After all, humans… … !”

Chaeeng!

Perhaps they thought they were being deceived, the half-elves, who could not stop Lokan's sudden action, immediately drew out their weapons and burned their hostility.

squeaky.

But the next moment, when he saw the sprout of the world tree that began to change, he dropped his weapon without a word. I couldn't speak with my mouth wide open.

[The sprout of the world tree that has grown]

A little, but the sprout of the world tree has grown. If it was a different race, it was a small difference that you might not notice until you check the item information, but the half elves were different.

I was shocked to see the subtle difference.

He couldn't keep his mouth open if there was such a growing method, and he only looked at the buds of Rokhan and the world tree that had grown up alternately.

“What are you doing, hurry up.”

To them, Lokan responded coolly, as if nothing special.

As soon as the collection was finished, I only added one more word.

"let's go. Wouldn’t it be better to collect as many as possible?”

nod nod.

Leading them, who had become sheep again, they went around the forests of Tekalona and headed towards their destination.

In the meantime, it was natural to discover and collect the sprouts of the World Tree.

In addition to the Spirit of the Contaminated Forest, two or three additional monsters appeared randomly, but none of them were Lokan's opponents.

Unless they had a combination skill, they were nothing more than a level lower than that of a mining kobold to Lokan.

“Lokan-sama”

After killing the monsters, they were half-elves who naturally looked for Lokan.

'I feel like I've been caught on something... … .'

Of course, that wasn't their intention. Because they were too pure kids to think of such a high-order number. He, too, is only helping because the interests are aligned.

Lokan grinned, approached them and took out a potion. However, it was not the same intermediate stamina potion as before. Even if it's a Lokan, how can you use it arbitrarily, even if it's only 1 gold?

What he took out were the lowest stamina potion and the lowest stamina potion.

I was thinking of covering with quantity instead of quality.squeaky.

"uh… … “Lokan”

Even after pouring one or two cans, there was no change at all, so the half-elves expressed their doubts.

what happened

Rokhan knew, but he couldn't help but be embarrassed for those who didn't know English.

‘Hmm, this is not enough.’

One bottle, another bottle. Lokan continued to pour potions without saying a word. He didn't know how many more bottles he would need to get the full effect. He just tries.

After pouring about five more bottles like that, a change came.

"iced coffee!"

“I believed it!”

However, unlike the happy half-elves, Lokan's expression was not very good. He brought a lot of stuff, just in case, but his efficiency was very poor.

In this case, it might be a better choice to pour out an intermediate stamina potion.

“Hey, here’s one more… … .”

At that moment, a soft voice led Lokan. And at that moment, a thought crossed Rokhan's head.

‘Wait, do you really need a potion?’

According to the research of the user who found this method, ordinary water said no. In particular, in the case of purified water, it may cause the buds of the world tree to die, which should contain natural plants and grow.

But what Lokan had in mind was not ordinary water.

“Uh, that’s”

A question mark appeared on the faces of the half-elves as Lokan pulled out a different bottle than before. It is understandable that the grade of the potion changes, but what he has now brought out is different from the 'color'. It's a completely different solution.

But instead of answering, Lokan poured it out.

The identity of the liquid was none other than the ‘water of Cheongmyeong Lake’. It looks like pure water, but it contains pure energy, so it is ‘special water’ that even has the effect of restoring mana just by drinking it.

It was a pity to pour expensive health potions, but it was an attempt that came from the question of whether this side would be better for plants than potions made with alchemy.

“Ugh!”

The effect was immediate. The sprout of the world tree has grown so rapidly that I wondered if it could be this fast.

Luckily, the corrupted spirit did not appear.

[Sapling of the World Tree]

As soon as I poured one more bottle, it grew to the level of a seedling in an instant. The half-elves' faces were astonished, and Rokhan's mouth was smiling.

“Heh, what was the reward for this?”

If you take only the sprouts that have grown, you'll get a great reward, but it's a seedling! Moreover, the water of Qingmyeong Lake was free, and the location was still stored in the Rune Book. Instead of purchasing a more expensive mana potion than a stamina potion, he bought an empty bottle and kept it in the water of Cheongmyeong Lake.

And that meant it could even grow saplings that found the buds of the world tree.

Lokan, who instructed the half-elves to gather again, continued to move and created saplings of the World Tree. Thanks to that, the volume grew, but because it was a quest, or whether they also had an inventory, they were able to sweep it up without any problem.

“Here, here!”

And when they arrived at the center of the forest of Tekalona, ​​the half-elves were very excited.

It is the buds of the world tree that make up the field. At an estimate, there were about twenty or thirty, so it was clear that there were more than ten monsters to be caught.

It was a moment when luck was important to draw.

“Now that this has happened, it will be finished in one shot.”

After looking at it for a moment, Rokhan made a decision. He intends to summon the corrupted spirits at once.

The reason was simple. He is likely to crush the buds of the world tree.

He decided to end it in one shot rather than take that risk over and over again.

“Leave it to me.”

As Lokan explained the circumstances and methods, the eyes of the half-elves twinkled. They were thinking of saving the timber of the World Tree even at the risk of their lives, so their determination was bound to shine.

“Then we begin.”

As they settled down, Lokan counted down.

“3, 2, 1… … . now!"

Whoa!

The water of Cheongmyeong Lake, which had been collected in a bucket, was sprayed at once. By spirits commanded by one of the half elves.

-Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

With him, a mongful aura bloomed around him. The tainted spirits will appear at the same time.

"shield!"

“Aqua Shield!”

“Divine Shield!”

Not too late, the half-elves also showed off their strength. The defensive spells of the wizard, elemental, and priest classes are unfolding, protecting themselves and the saplings of the World Tree under their feet.

“Heh heh heh heh heh!”

Meanwhile, Lokan spread a cry of madness. He withered the tainted spirits that appeared wildly, and drew all eyes to him.

“This way!”

He didn't forget to throw hatchets at the distant ones to bring the aggro. This drew their attention away from the half-elves, and Rokhan slowly retreated and changed his position on the battlefield.

“Let’s play!”

hey hey hey hey!

The attack of the corrupted spirits was fierce. The trunks of the tree monster stretched out to snatch Lokan, and from the sky the monster descended with a sharp beak.

The moment he avoided it, it was a fighting dog with a jaw that chewed and swallowed stones.

Dozens of those guys. Although it was said that he could not use the combination skill, this was dangerous even as a Lokan.

Even if I wanted to finish one by one, it was hard to come to my senses because of the rushing barrel without giving me a chance.

If it hadn't been for Rokhan's experience and control, he would have already suffered a major injury or was forced into a one-sided defense.

“Yeah, I can write it if you want. Berserk!”

Recognizing that it would be difficult to overcome this situation with a moderate counterattack, Lokan activated the Berserk without delay.

He turned the situation around, eliciting a sense of power and upliftment that had been dormant within.

turuk.

A tainted spirit in the form of a fighting dog that was rushing to pluck flesh was caught in the air.

Whether or not he chewed his fingers, Lokan put his hand into his mouth and grabbed his chin, then put down his weapon and grabbed his upper teeth with both hands.

goofy, jerky. Whoops!He ripped his mouth open with force. It was an unbelievable power, but only because it was a Lokan, it was a dance that was possible because of the use of a Berserk.

“Heh heh heh heh heh!”

Then, the screams of madness erupted once more.

A scream of madness used by a real madman who even used a Berserk. For a moment, the movement of the running men stopped.

That was enough.

Lokan immediately identified the positions of all enemies and flew one step ahead. A movement line that would make fun of the enemies automatically appeared in his head, and his body moved at the same time.

From now on, it was he who led the fight.

“Lethal Strike!”

First off, the annoying monsters. Fortunately, it didn't fly very high, so it was close enough. With that blow, his shape was distorted.

hey!

The critical hit chance of a normal attack was 30%, but it was okay if the critical hit didn't explode. Even the weapons were changed and strengthened, so just a touch would cause the flesh to burst and the feathers to be pushed out.

The monster that was flapping its wings in a hurry to Rokhan's leap collapsed. The wing was cut off in one blow and was dragged down to the ground.

“Throwing!”

Lokan tossed the body of the fluttering creature as it was, and dropped the rest of them as well.

perch.

With each step Rokhan took, the head of the fallen monster exploded, and his brain soaked his feet.

The tree monster with the highest vitality was thoroughly excluded, and the corrupted spirits in the form of birds and dogs were thoroughly crushed.

Even those who had lost their senses due to their overwhelming majesty trembled and wanted to run away.

"huh! Babies who are nothing.”

As a result, even though he took the damage and rushed in, Rokhan's health was only reduced by 20% of the original. He could afford to add Berserk's penalty.

It wasn't a proper workshop, it was just a one-sided beating, so it's because Rokhan hardly suffered any losses.

“Set up a safe zone. Let’s rest for a while.”

"of course!"

However, the battle with the aftereffects was still dangerous. Returning to the half-elves, Rokhan set up a safe zone as soon as they finished gathering and rested leisurely.

After all Berserk's sequelae were gone, he began to move again.

There is no need to find the sprout of the World Tree anymore, but in the heart of the Tekalona Forest where they are, monsters up to level 130 are lounging around.

If it was one, there was no guarantee that even if two or more attacked, even Lokan would be able to protect them and fight.

"thank you. Thank you very much. Me and the half-elves will never forget this grace.”

As I carefully followed the road and came out of the forest, the half-elves began to blur. It was the completion of the quest.

The mission was to secure their safety and bring them to the Crossroads, but it didn't make sense to escort them all the way back to the end. Anyway, this is a game.

Because of that, their bodies clouded and disappeared.

Now, if you return to the Crossroads, you should have arrived first.

“With this, the authentication quest is slowly over.”

Knowing this, Lokan activated the rune book without hesitation. The destination is Crossroads. The gnome's authentication quest can be easily completed, so the race-specific authentication quest is now over.

All that's left is to collect the reward of a beautiful beauty!
