"I can't believe that guy came forward himself. "After all, this was a world with problems."
Just right. Just right.
The black skull gritted its teeth and looked in the direction where the masked elf had disappeared.
I turned my head towards Seongjihan.
"Our heads. "Are you feeling okay?"
"What is he?"
A half-masked elf.
He looked different from the stereotypical elves I had seen so far.
In the past, when humans saw the elves, they appeared to have various appearances, but in fact, they had camouflage magic.
In reality, they were all uniform in shape with the same female elf face.
The elf I saw earlier showed no signs of camouflage at all.
The appearance was also masculine, and it was definitely different from the elves I had seen before.
'He didn't have green hair like a high elf, he had silver hair.'
A unique being in many ways.
When Seong Ji-han questioned him, Kalain gritted his teeth and said,
"Elf if you go earlier? "It's an old elf."
"Go-elf?"
"uh. Old elf. They say they are senior elves who have been around since the birth of the World Tree Alliance... … I've only seen it a few times for work, but I don't know the details. "I just know that each individual is as strong as a constellation."
"Constellation level?"
"okay. "It must be quite powerful, high-ranking constellation level."
Then, Calaine looked at the seed that Seong Ji-han was holding.
"That Go-Elf temperament is so obvious, if you hand over that, they might really attack you. "Why don't you just absorb it all?"
"hmm. "Are you worried?"
"of course. This is the body that will become our head. Go-elf is a truly petty and dangerous opponent. "He gets caught for nothing, and he gets really tired."
If only the constellation of a dead star could say something like that.
It certainly seemed like the masked elf from earlier was not an easy opponent.
but.
"Still, I have to hand it over."
"… … really?"
"uh. "Because the elf's misfortune is my happiness."
Epic quest rewards are also rewards.
If I could cause damage to the World Tree Alliance, I could take this level of risk.
"I can't help it… … If you are in danger, call me at any time. "I'm going to go retrieve your head!"
"That won't happen."
"I will keep the constellation channel open at any time~! See you next time!"
A black skeleton disappeared while shaking its head excitedly, as if saying goodbye.
The undead army that had been summoned to stop the masked elf also disappeared along with him.
-See how worried you are about the skeleton lol Why are you so obsessed with Seong Ji-han?
-They say it's made with the head; Never good intentions.
-No, but there is a black skull head. What is it made of?
-I know. But you opened a constellation channel... … Is that kid a constellation? lol
-All illusions about constellations are shattered ㅡㅡ;
Caleine, the owner of the stars, is very different from the previous image of the constellation.
When viewers were arguing over this.
Suuuuu… … .
Calaine, who had disappeared, reappeared.
"ah. "I said goodbye earlier, but you came back unexpectedly."
"Why did you come?"
"We should hold an award ceremony for the first place gift!"
"First place?"
"uh. Of both camps, they contributed the most to the destruction of the Blue Blood Demons. you."
The black skeleton laughed darkly and opened its mouth wide.
Then, a huge diamond popped out from inside.
"The first place reward is… … "It's a stat diamond that increases your remaining stats by as many as ten!"
"I'm giving it to you, I'll accept it gratefully, but why am I first place?"
Seong Ji-han tilted his head.
So far, I've been fighting against the players of the Sun faction to my heart's content, and the game is over.
What does this have to do with contributing to destruction?
"In terms of Battle.net's self-evaluation score, you are overwhelming. "I think it's probably because you completely crushed the hopes of the blue-blooded demons."
"ah. "Is it because it prevents possession?"
"okay. Possessed change! Since you blocked it off, your contribution is much greater than destroying the city below. ruler."
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
A huge diamond flies towards Seong Ji-han.
He looked at it blankly.
'Is this the reward obtained for destroying a race…? … .'
Remaining stats + 10.
Among the rewards you could get in the game, it was the highest level.
When I thought that I had ended a race to obtain this, I had complicated feelings.
What if humanity also perishes?
Instead of ending with the Apostle of the Apocalypse like last time, if the player participates in the war.
Among them, the number one is slaughtering humanity to get +10 stats?
"What are you doing? "Aren't you going to take it?"
"… … no. "You have to get what's given."
okay.
Even if we compare the current situation of the blue-blooded demons to the human race, it is a meaningless assumption anyway.
Seong Ji-han stopped thinking and grabbed the diamond.
['Essence of the species' has been absorbed.] [Remaining stats increase by +10.]Then, the remaining stats are raised, and the essence of the species disappears.
"It's the head. Then it's really goodbye~"
Binggrrr.
The black skull spun around in place and then disappeared.
[Cleared the special map, 'Race Extermination Battle' in 1st place.] [Level increases by 10.] [Obtain 10 billion GP.]In addition to the essence of the species.
The first place reward was enormous experience points and GP rewards.
'Going up 10 levels... … 'Isn't this how you become number one in the rankings?'
In the top rankings, each level up had a big impact on the ranking change.
Here, leveling up by 10 was a variable that could bring about a huge change in the ranking.
Seong Ji-han saw this and wondered if he would achieve No. 1 in the world rankings.
[A.DaVVies sponsored 100000GP.] [Oh. Player Seong Ji-han ranked 2nd!! I'm so glad!! There will be no worries about the next game!]When I saw Coach Davis' sponsorship message, I realized that I did not come in first place.
-oh… … Seong Ji-han, you ranked 2nd?
-Luckily, I'm not first place haha.
-Phew... … Until the next Space League, I can use the sacred van without being sniped at... … .
-But isn't Oliver amazing at this point? How can Seong Ji-han maintain first place when he is so successful?
-ㄹㅇ I'm holding up well haha.
Oliver has maintained the No. 1 ranking in the world for several years.
It was already a foregone conclusion that Seong Ji-han would lose first place.
Still, perhaps because he had something to earn, he was holding on to first place as much as possible.
'I will have to regain the top ranking after the next Space League match.'
Seong Ji-han thought so and logged out of the game.
* * *
"eww. ah. Ahhh… … What is this. "My hair!"
As soon as she logged out, Ariel came out of Seong Ji-han's arms and screamed.
"Ha, you've become like a high elf!"
Ariel's hair color was grey-black.
A few branches had a green glow like a high elf.
"Is it because of the energy of life?"
"ah. ah… … This is why they are not shadow elves... … ."
"I think it's evolving."
"What kind of evolution is this! It becomes a mess... … !"
"Still, I think you're stronger than last time?"
"Is that so? hmm… … ."
At Seong Ji-han's words, Ariel looked at her hair with trembling eyes.
I checked my condition in earnest.
Cast shadows all over the house.
From one form, the shadow spreads out and divides into dozens or hundreds of people, etc.
I tried using my own power here and there.
He nodded to Seong Ji-han with a puzzled look on his face.
"… … It really is. "I have become stronger to the point where I can feel it."
"right? So let's keep mixing it up."
"… … ha."
I didn't want to receive the energy of life.
Since the results are so clear, it is impossible to refuse.
Ariel sighed deeply and went back into Seong Ji-han's arms.
[Let's rest a little… … .]"ah. But before taking a break. Do you know anything about elves? Just tell me that and leave."
[Masked elf? Did such a being ever appear? I couldn't see it earlier because I was so distracted by the energy of life.]"uh. "They say the constellation of the Dead Star is Goelf."
[Go-elf... … .]Ariel suddenly sounded serious in response to Seong Ji-han's words.
[If you have the video from earlier, can you show it to me?]"okay."
So she looked back at BattleTube, which she had finished a while ago, and sighed.
[after… … Go elf. I also only heard stories. They are the elders who created the World Tree Alliance, and each one of them is said to be powerful enough to be compared to a constellation. If this being appears, the Queen is to be notified immediately... … Can I report for a moment?]"He is an elder of the World Tree Alliance… … "Do you know anything else about the Go-Elves?"
[This is the end of the line I know. Let's ask the queen more.]"okay."
[ah. Wouldn't it be better to leave the seeds alone before we hear about the old elf? If that being were to really invade this world, it would be a threat.]"hmm."
[Then, I will go first.]So Ariel disappeared to report to the Shadow Queen.
Seong Ji-han looked at the seed he was holding in his right hand.
'So does Calaine. Ariel also tells me to leave it alone for now.'
Go-Elf is strong, although I felt it to some extent as I watched him fling his tentacles away with a single kick.
However, the display of caution was unusual.
'What does this mean?'
Seong Ji-han touches the small reformed seed.
A system message appeared before his eyes.
[Do you want to return the 'modified seed of life' to Battle.net?] [If the seed's energy disappears further, it will not be accepted as 'evidence' and you will not be able to obtain compensation.]Battlenet warns that one should no longer absorb life energy from seeds.
Seong Ji-han saw that and whetted his appetite.
I was going to suck out all the remaining life energy and return it, but it ended up being a shame.
'Then shall we leave it alone until we hear the Queen's story?'
I'm sure I'll return it anyway.
Just as he was thinking about hearing Ariel's advice, let's at least listen to the story about Go-Elf.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
Suddenly, smoke began to rise from the modified life seed.
[The energy is rapidly draining from the modified Seed of Life.] [If the energy is no longer lost, it cannot be used as evidence.] [Do you want to return the modified Seed of Life?]And then a message suddenly pops up.
Seong Ji-han did nothing, but suddenly the seed and the system were going crazy at the same time.
'… … 'What's wrong with this?'
Seong Ji-han did not understand the meaning of the sudden change in circumstances.
"I'll return it first."
Since I couldn't miss out on the epic quest reward, I quickly handed over the modified Seed of Life to the system.
Then, as if waiting for this decision, the seed immediately disappeared.
[Epic Quest cleared.] [Void stat acceptance limit increases by +30.] [Obtain the title, 'Void Executioner.']A reward was given along with a quest clear message.
'good. There's no need to add a title, but it's good.'
Seong Ji-han was trying to check the newly acquired title as an epic quest reward.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
The green smoke that came out of the seed a little while ago did not disappear.
Instead, it got darker and I frowned when I saw it flying out the window.
'I need to sort that out first.'
The energy of life filled with smoke.
If I leave it alone, I don't know what impact it will have on the Earth and humanity.
Seong Ji-han decided to clear up the smoke emitted by the seed before confirming the title.
Sigh.
He lightly stretched out his hand and tried to absorb it.
The smoke resisted Seong Ji-han's power and flew through the living room window in an instant.
Seeing the green clouds moving freely, as if there were no windows.
'There's a lot of resistance.'
Seong Ji-han got up from his seat, opened the window and went outside.
Seong Ji-han, who stepped into the air, reached out to smoke.
Shoooooo… … !
I thought the smoke changed into the shape of a tree for a moment.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
Soon, it changed into letters with an unusual shape.
'this… … .'
And Seong Ji-han had never learned about this letter.
Strangely enough, I was able to read this.
[This is a world where experiments have already taken place.]
