Never Die Extra (Edited)

The Great Ancient Wizard, The Last Creation (2)

“What is this…?”

“I’ve never seen this before, so I can’t say for sure.”

That day, the ancient forest was full of warmth like never before. The purple flowers blooming by the World Tree had abundant magic, and the scent of the flowers quietly spread throughout the village, calming everyone’s mind and body.

“As Zero said, we used cooled hot spring water.”

“That hot spring is seemingly very versatile.”

When Mirole confessed honestly, Leo, who watched the flowers blooming by the World Tree, muttered in amazement.

“It’s a wonderful hot spring where you get rewarded for your efforts. They made her an adult.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You’ll find out later.”

Evan ignored Leo, who was freaking out.

‘Anyone who fought in a battle, even the World Tree, was ordered to soak in the hot spring water because I thought it would benefit them, but did I know it would have such a good result? No, there are no cases in the game where dragons were dedicated to the World Tree’s level up, so I can’t jump to conclusions.’

“Wow, pretty.”

“Did god bloom these flowers for the World Tree?”

Today, everyone gathered under the shadow of the World Tree in unison. The elves that were working hard on archery and endless magic training, the dwarves who were tired of butchering the bodies of dragons, the humans who were carrying out religious rituals about Evan without him knowing, and even the Demons that were out of the Demon Realm that hadn’t yet adapted to their new environment.

“I feel at peace. It’s unpleasant.”

Cattleya grumbled. She was right. The flowers bloomed by the World Tree had a powerful calming effect, and when one smelled the flowers, one could feel that even Evan’s fighting spirit was gradually scattered. It was somewhat at a reasonable level as a mental debuff.

‘This might be important in helping protect the forest for sure. It didn’t come out in the original game, but…’

However, now, Evan could understand that as well. The world wasn’t based on games, but the games were based on this world. Evan could naturally accept that things that hadn’t been revealed in the game were being revealed like this.

“You can’t train in a place like this. We’re going back.”

“Yeah, it looks good, but it might not work for us right now.”

“I want to see you a little longer. Can’t you stay a little?”

“After we kill the Devil, we can play with the flowers or drink under the World Tree as much as we want. But we’re all on the move for now.”

Evan put all of them into the Necklace World. In the end, only those who didn’t need to train or work immediately remained in the forest.

“You’re not going in, Grandpa?”

“Well, well, you have a rough idea of my past.”

Leo looked up at the flowers bloomed by the World Tree and spoke in a flat tone.

“The enemies we fought were mainly men who played with the human spirit. I had no choice but to develop tolerance to fight him. So, it’s still worth it.”

“So, this is the perfect situation to train for increased mental tolerance.”

“I don’t know how you came to that conclusion.”

Evan was already training meager resistance, including psychotolerance, but the petals of the World Tree had a slight effect on him. It would be a good idea to train against this flower for a while.

“Zero, the Mother.”

“Huh?”

Mirole called Evan.

“She wants us to leave only one Dragon corpse in the forest.”

“Um…huh?”

“Can we?”

Evan agonized. Which was more important, the work of raising the level of the World Tree or the body of a dragon?

“You’re telling me to leave it because she needs it, right?”

“Of course.”

“Then yes, we can.”

Evan would’ve made a different decision if there were only five dead dragons, but there were as many as fifty. The World Tree was asking for a souvenir, and he didn’t have to be stingy. Evan fended off Leo, who stared at him, by telling him to calm down and asked Mirole.

“But if we don’t loot it, even the dragon dead body will disappear soon, is that okay?”

“Zero, what do you think Mother is? The Mother Tree is the crystal of vitality. She prevents the body from rotting…”

But the sight that followed made even Mirole, who spoke with confidence, shut up. As soon as Evan’s permission was granted, the World Tree, which moved its branches, began to find the corpse (which belonged to the most significant Middle Earth dragon) and sprinkled petals on it.

“Do those petals have anti-corruption functions?”

“I’m sorry, Zero. I don’t know.”

As the two stiffened side by side at the sight that they had never seen before, changes began to occur to the petal-filled dragon’s body. Even though it was already dead, the cycle of magic began to occur in its body.

―Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

“He’s coming back to life!”

“No, he’s not coming back to life. It’s a spirit!”

A new spirit was born from each petal that the World Tree dropped. They were seeping into the dragon’s skin and activating inside the dead body. It wasn’t long before countless spirits began to move.

-Whoaaa-oh.

The scales of the dead dragon were polished. The magical and spiritual forces circulated together, gradually increasing their energy. In the next moment, light returned to its dead eyes. The dragon gave a loud perch and then sprang up! Mirole quietly mumbled as she saw the dragon with broad wings flying up into the sky.

“A Spirit Dragon…”

“No, the Spirit Dragon I know doesn’t look like that.”

The World Tree revived the body of a dragon that had been killed by its power. Spirits crawled into the dragon’s body, which must be nothing but flesh without a soul, and began to move the dragon’s body without its owner to its fullest extent. The dragon with overwhelming magic and the spirits coexisted. A powerful being out of a fairy tale had been born.

“It’s a lot stronger than it used to be.”

“It should be. But Zero would be able to kill this dragon in less than a breath.”

“I’m not that powerful.”

A new hidden boss that Evan didn’t know about had been added to the World Forest. However, now that it was at this level, there is no need to worry about the safety of the World Tree. The World Tree must be saying that they don’t have to stay here to protect her. She’s saying that they could leave for a while and deal with what needed to be done.

“Yeah, now I think we’ve got at least a few pieces together.”

“Oh, the petals…” Mirole, who was looking up at the dragon, suddenly exclaimed. The petals were sprinkling over Evan’s and Mirole’s heads, just as the World Tree did to the dragon. Evan wondered if he could deal with a spirit if he got hit by this, but it didn’t seem right.

“It must be effective if you dry it and boil it with tea.”

“Elven Flower Tea?”

A new boss monster was born, a new recipe was learned, and it was an excellent day for the Yo-Ma Great War series’ fanatics in many ways.

“It’s going to add a good effect to what Zero is trying to make now. It’s the best thing to harmonize and encourage you.”

“Harmony and encouragement…oh!”

Evan urgently stretched out the power of Annihilation to collect the petals. The purple petals gathered in his grasp could be seen shining brilliantly, reflecting the sunlight.

“For the Elixir…?’

It wasn’t just that. Perhaps this would help with the special armor.

“So, I need to level up to find out.”

“I’ve never seen Mother so happy, either. Whoo-hoo…”

Mirole slipped into Evan’s arms. It was quite a bold approach, perhaps because Maybell went inside the Necklace World first.

“Everything has been amazing since I met Zero… in a good and bad way.”

“It bothers me a lot when you say, ‘in a bad way.’”

“It’s okay; it was all good after all.”

“That’s quite a gloss.”

“…I’m going to make tea with these petals tonight. Zero, you have to come.”

Evan was just smiling at Mirole’s words that heralded a war at night. Because the Evan right now and Evan at night would be different. He was going to achieve the ultimate alchemy today!

“They know we’re still here, but they’re ignoring us.”

“Shall we make a second child, too?”

“!?”

* * *

The World Tree sprouted petals once and then re-bloomed in plenty, leaving all the Allied troops temporarily living in the Necklace World. It was instead a good thing. All they had left was the final battle, and the World Tree created an escort to protect herself. Evan sent those who had finished training through the warp gate to the dungeon, and he let Cattleya’s training slip for a moment.

“You’re quick to learn.”

“This can’t be the case…”

“You’re a close-up character. Stop denying reality.”

Evan’s eyes were correct. Cattleya’s development in learning skills to suit her aptitude was genuinely remarkable. Of course, the two Beasts following her, Meow-One and Meow-Two, also seemed to be able to be much stronger than the tiger of Yo-Ma Great War 4’s DLC. On the surface, she was just a cute little kitten, but once they started, the claws of a 4-meter-long grizzly bear start to show.

“Whoa, whoa…can I call myself a demon now?”

“There’s still a long way to go. You can’t even handle demon armament.”

“Hmph…”

Even if they weren’t a Shimma yet, the high-quality Demon Tribes know how to handle demon armament, which embodied their soul. Cattleya, who just started training, was simply out of the question. Evan held out what was taken out of his inventory pocket to Cattleya, who chewed her lips in humiliation.

“What’s this, uh…?”

“The armament used by the Seventh Demon.”

It proved to be three boomerangs.

“It was something you could tear apart?”

“It’s possible if I do it.”

“What a bummer.”

Evan continued by squeezing the three boomerangs into Cattleya’s hands.

“Another armament has a big connection to the user’s aptitude, but this one doesn’t. It’s pure auxiliary armor. All you need is an aptitude for magic. I mean, whatever you have the most aptitude with.”

“Aptitude for Dark Magic…”

Cattleya looked at the boomerang with suspicious eyes. Evan shrugged and continued.

“You’re a thoroughly close-range fighter, so dealing with auxiliary weapons controlled by magic alone would be quite helpful. It can protect you from long-range attacks, or you can control it and attack the enemy at long range.”

“Are you… giving this to me?”

“Yes.”

“How come? It’s the Seventh Demon’s armament. It’s an item of enormous value…”

Cattleya looked at Evan with strange eyes. Well, from her point of view, Evan was a Santa Claus giving things away. But he kindly corrected her illusion.

“Honestly, it won’t help me much. You’re the only one who deals with Dark Magic. I’m giving it to you so you can protect yourself, so try to use it with the Claw combat skills.”

“…”

Cattleya opened her mouth in amazement, but before long, she shook her head and muttered.

“That’s a bummer, too.”

That was an excellent response. Evan waved at her with satisfaction and left.

It was finally time to create the Elixir.
