Chapter 146
The shedding Yggdrasil cast off the brown bark that had covered it and became shrouded in an ashen shell.
Blisters formed all over its roots, vines, and trunk.
They squirmed, then burst puss as something protruded out.
It was arms and legs, a human body.
At that grotesque sight, even the raid party froze.

“…I thought after seeing a Gate merge in real time, nothing could shock me anymore. Guess not.”
“…Same.”

“…We’re screwed.”
They had struck it for 8 hours.
That was how long it took to shrink that damned tree, which had covered the sky, down to the mere size of an apartment building.
And yet, after all that, now it turns into this?
W̄е̄b́.n ov e l̊ Еňùmа
The raid party’s gaze turned skyward.
At the top of the world tree, now a monster, flapped a being.
A beetle made of eyeballs, Commander of Despair, Para was laughing, mocking the humans.
Look at those people staring up with hollow faces—how delightful it was.

So howl, humans. Entertain me.
Kideudeudeuk─!
W_е̄b̃ ń оṽӗl̊ Еn̈ ǔm̌ å
Para laughed and slipped into Yggdrasil.
And when Yggdrasil—no, now Para—roared from a mouth that had sprouted from its trunk, its roots, trunk, and branches all quivered as though convulsing.
“Whew…”
“Ptew…”
The monster scab goes, and now an even more monstrous monster appears…
No one said it out loud, but despair was in the air.

That’s when a calm voice from the Mountain King brushed their ears and steadied their hearts…
— “How long are you going to stand there gawking like idiots until you pull yourselves together?”
…They would not fall.
The Mountain King scolded in a level voice.
Because of all the suffering endured, or the horrific sight too vile to put into words, their fighting spirit might waver.
But do not forget.
Ē ṅ ǔmа̌
— “…This is a Level 8 Gate. The opponent is a Level 8 Boss. This much is only natural. Did you really think it would end here? If so, you’ve no shame.”
At the Mountain King’s rebuke, the raid party’s expressions returned to their places. The cold faces of warriors.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Yes, that’s how it should be, my comrades.
Satisfied, the Mountain King once again took command of the battlefield.
— “We’re going back in. If you don’t get your heads straight, I’ll kick your asses. Understood?”
“Yes!!”
Ẃēb̆ ṅо̊ v̆ ël̊ È ň ūm̄ ӑ
The raid party reformed and reentered the battle.
With no difference from before, they pressed forward under the Mountain King’s command.
Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on the ashen world tree.
‘We’re not capturing the world tree. It’s cursed or corrupted. And there must be some being interfering with it…’

Yes. That was what Lee Shin had said.
Vita nodded in agreement. Anger burned in Vita’s eyes. For the guardian spirit of the world tree to be angered meant—
Ēǹ u m̂ а̂
‘That beetle made of eyeballs is the one controlling it.’
The beetle of eyeballs, Commander of Despair Para.
Of course, the Mountain King had no way of knowing the name Para. He wasn’t a veteran like Lee Shin, nor could he see status windows.
But the countless data stored in his brain produced the most critical conclusion.
‘If it’s a parasitic-type monster as I think, its health and defense must be weak.’
In fact, when the raid fell into despair, the Mountain King’s eyes shone brighter because that thing had openly revealed itself to be parasitic.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And from all his data, not once had a parasitic monster ever possessed strong base stats.
‘If we can pin its location, we can end this in one strike.’
The problem was, it surely wouldn’t stay still. This was a Level 8 Gate.
Just as Ancient Golems, Krakens, and King Slimes kept moving their vulnerable cores, that beetle would keep roaming inside the world tree to protect itself.
It was a chillingly accurate judgment.
But judgment was one thing, execution another.
Е̃ num̌ а̇..i d_
Easier said than done—finding and pinning down Para as it freely moved within Yggdrasil was near impossible.
Para knew this too, which is why it was relaxed and smug.

Attacks were meaningless anyway—it was only the shell.
No matter how much they battered the world tree, unless they hit the true body, it was pointless.
In the end, it would be the foolish humans who grew exhausted. Then, once again, despair would consume them.
As if echoing its thoughts, corpses sprouting everywhere burst into creaking laughter all at once.
Еň û mа . ĭ d̄
But Para did not know that someone was here who had already turned the impossible into possible.
It was the figure standing beside the Mountain King, leaning on crutches.
“Baek Yeon-woo.”
Did Park Soo-bin call him a cheat just by existing?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Baek Yeon-woo was a miracle just by existing.
“Do you see it?”
Еn̊ u ḿа̂. і̌ d
“……”
Baek Yeon-woo’s sky-blue eyes narrowed.
From attack routes, to the arrangement of spells, even the enemy’s experiences—he could see and learn it all.
His [Divine Eye] scanned the world tree, and finally, it spotted the beetle crawling inside.
“I see it.”
“Can you pin it down?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Even just detection was miraculous enough, but the more important task remained.
Through that brutal battlefield, he would have to approach the true body and pin it down so it couldn’t move. Perhaps even crazier than just seeing.
But Baek Yeon-woo lifted his sleek lashes, haughty, and asked back:
“Can I kill it?”
“……”
At Baek Yeon-woo’s provocative reply, the Mountain King gazed down at him.
Е̂ nu m а
What glowed in those sky-blue, mystical eyes was stubbornness and certainty.
“Ha ha ha.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Well, for someone brought by that arrogant brat, he did seem oddly normal… As expected, he wasn’t.
This one too was no ordinary lunatic.
Chuckling, shoulders shaking beneath his mask, the Mountain King said:
“Fine. Kill it.”
Е̄n um̃а
At his permission, Baek Yeon-woo smiled brightly.
Like a fox that had spotted tasty prey Baek Yeon-woo, sincerely delighted, shot forward at terrifying speed.
When the crutches clattering on the ground stopped rolling, he was already on the battlefield.
As soon as he entered the fray, attacks surged.

Vines lashed, narrowly missing by inches as he twisted his waist to redirect momentum. Spores burst beneath his feet, but he evaded with a tumbling roll.
Fast, nimble and spectacular, less like a rational human and more like a beast obeying instinct.
Е_n u m̊ ӑ .ї ď
Dodging with stylish, exhilarating movements, Baek Yeon-woo sprinted toward the battlefield’s center.
But then—
“…Huh…?”
The Mountain King’s face twisted.
He had been laughing just a moment ago, but upon seeing Baek Yeon-woo’s movements, his jaw dropped in shock.
It was a rare thing for the Mountain King, who was not easily surprised but he had good reason.

“No way, that’s…?”
The natural-step footwork, arms hanging limp, acceleration and turns controlled by neck and lower body strength was a form the Mountain King knew all too well.
A posture that forsook defense, pursuing only the extremes of agility and attack power.
“Ja… Jang Dong?”
It was none other than the footwork of his former comrade—The Fighting King, Ma Jang-dong.

A genius who mocked the boundary Lee Shin had defined between the learning-type martial artist and the instinct-type martial artist.
He was Lee Shin’s final arrangement.

Now he could not be stopped.
Baek Yeon-woo burst through the battlefield so fiercely that even his comrades flinched.
At this moment, he was the protagonist of the battlefield.
Even Para, inside the World Tree, recognized Baek Yeon-woo’s presence at that instant. How could he not, when the man was staring at him so intently?
Those blue eyes were dangerous.
The moment he realized this, every priority changed. The World Tree screamed and launched its vines.

Vines tangled and bundled came rushing.
But then, stumps that had sprouted from the opposite side smashed them away. They were the Mountain King’s stumps.
— “[Change of plan. From now, we go full assault.]”
The Mountain King felt it instinctively.
Baek Yeon-woo’s “Can I kill him?” wasn’t an idle remark.
That brat could kill him and this battle could be ended.
Е̊ n u̇ m̃ а́ .і̆ d
The moment he realized it was an opportunity, the Mountain King’s gaze turned fierce.
— “[Everyone, take the stimulants.]”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
At the Mountain King’s order, the raid party swallowed the stimulants without hesitation.
An S-rank stimulant that raised stats by 1.5 times for 30 minutes, but left one retired for an hour afterward.
There was no retreat. This fight would end here no matter what.
— “[From now on, everything will be twice as fast. Keep up.]”
Е̌n̄ üm̄а̊. і̇ d̊
The raid party’s speed increased. A dimensionally different speed of attack battered the World Tree. Its bark shredded as though put through a blender.
— “[Baek Yeon-woo, show everything you’ve got. The outcome of this battle depends on you.]”
Some collapse when burdened, while others enjoy it. Baek Yeon-woo was clearly the latter.
A smile appeared on his characteristically pale face.

“In that case.”
I’ll have my fun.
Ѐ ñum а̌..i̇d̄
At that very moment, Baek Yeon-woo reached the range of the root attacks.
He reached into his subspace pouch and pulled something out, it was a crude piece of black iron.
Seeing the iron from afar, the Mountain King laughed loudly, “Wahahahaha!!” That insolent brat, did he even manage to get that!?
Of course—he had never imagined he’d see that brutish thing again.
It was the weapon the Fighting King had used in the early days.
※ Silent Kill ― Epic
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
: One day, a young man discovered a sword deep in the forest. The sword was dark as pitch, its blade forged of steel and obsidian, heavy and weighty. The sword said to the youth: “Shut up and kill.”
Baek Yeon-woo slung Silent Kill across his shoulder, just like the Fighting King.
The sloppy stance once scorned by noble family swordsmen as lacking fundamentals, but at his peak, the Fighting King conquered the world with that very stance.
He spun around a shooting root to dodge it. He leapt like a beast to avoid the crashing root, and when three or four attacked at once—
Pop―!
He rose into the air, body spinning like a top.
E ñ um â.і̂ d̃
Swaang―!
The severed root writhed like a worm, then went still. But even then, Baek Yeon-woo was already far ahead.

He never stopped for even a moment.
Attack and movement always together. Defense, throw it to the dogs. The best defense was to take off the head.
But Para wasn’t dumb enough to just watch.
When he drew in mana for the first time, a maw in the World Tree howled.
Еńu m̆.а̌ . i̊d
In that instant, a black wave of mana spread out from the World Tree.
From the ground touched by the flow of mana, massive corpse golems rose.
Anyone might curse it as excessive, but Baek Yeon-woo only laughed. Instead, he quickened his pace, even more delighted.
Grrroooooarrr!

Roots lashed from the sky, and house-sized corpse golems charged from the ground. But then Yu Rira’s sniping struck a golem, and the giant’s half-body summoned by Park Su-bin blocked the roots.
“Yeon-woo!”
E nūm̆_á.і d
“Clear the way!”
Park Su-bin ran, guarding Baek Yeon-woo’s front. At the same time, the giant half-body swung its fists wildly, smashing away charging roots and golems.
Then roots burst upward through the altar.
Sensing danger, Para had doubled the number of roots but they had roots on their side too.
──────!
Vita of the Mountain King let out a roar filled with rage. At the same time, tree trunks surged like a tidal wave, tangling with the multiplied roots.

And that wasn’t the end. Thousands of spirits bombarded from above.
The raid’s magic, Yu Rira’s sniping, the Mountain King’s trunks, and the spirits’ bombardment.
The enemy let out an unearthly cry.
Now it realized that they weren’t mere playthings and that its life was in danger.
It roused its gloomy mana, and the World Tree brought out that pattern.
-Paaat!
Е_ǹ uṁа
Letters gleamed across the trunk, in a different ashen hue than before, then mana was sucked into the World Tree.
The charge time: 20 seconds.

Here they had to choose. Advance or retreat.
Their choice was to advance.
“Baek Yeon-woo!”
“There!”
Е̊ n̂ u m а̀ .і d
Baek Yeon-woo’s hand pointed to the top.
Park Su-bin nodded, and the milk-white giant half-body extended its palm. Baek Yeon-woo stepped onto it naturally, and the giant bent its arm and hurled him with all its might.
Baek Yeon-woo soared into the sky.
In one leap, he crossed the distance.

But—
-Thunk.
Е̇.n̈ u̇m̂ ǎ
A vine grazed him mid-flight, and before reaching the top he lost strength and began to fall……
“Keh.”
Then Para met his gaze. Baek Yeon-woo was staring right at him, smiling.
“I touched you, bastard.”
A dagger grazed Para’s side.
The activation of Swordsman Kang Han-bi’s [Target Moving].

Defying gravity, Baek Yeon-woo moved to the dagger’s location and drove Silent Kill into the trunk where the enemy was.
Kiiieeeeeek―!!
Skewered by Silent Kill, Para screamed, and Baek Yeon-woo, with a regretful face, let go of the sword.
‘……Couldn’t kill him.’
His body fell limply. Pushed to his limit, his movements shut down.
It was a height dangerous to fall from.

But then—Kim Yushin dashed up a vertical trunk, caught the falling Baek Yeon-woo, and escaped to the opposite side.
“You worked hard.”

“……I didn’t kill him.”
“The Mountain King will handle the rest.”
Cradled in Kim Yushin’s arms, Baek Yeon-woo looked to where the Mountain King was waiting and smiled.
A seven-colored rainbow spread around the Mountain King.
Еńūm̂ а̇
Life’s mana surged toward him.
The Mountain King was drawing the bowstring of the ‘Elden Bow’ he had obtained days earlier and on the string grew a leafed arrow was Vita transformed into an arrow.
“Can’t let the kids outdo us, right?”
For a moment, Vita sparkled in response.

The Elden Bow withered. It was being drained of spirit power by Vita in real time.
As the Elden Bow crumbled into dust, the bowstring released.
Е̇ ǹ um.а̀
A line was drawn from ground to sky as a seven-colored rainbow shone brilliantly.
It passed through Para, impaled by Silent Kill, and extended to the far side of the heavens.

From afar, Lee Shin came running and dove into the pile of the dissipating World Tree. He flailed his hands desperately as if searching for something.
Then his expression brightened sharply.

“Found it!”
When he stood up, what he held in his hand was a fruit.
A vividly red, delicious-looking fruit.
“You brat, you can’t just grab items without—”

“Shh.”
“??”
Lee Shin muttered toward the air.
At the absurd act, the Mountain King mimicked his lip movements.

While the Mountain King tilted his head, Lee Shin, with a refreshed expression, held out the fruit in his hand.
“Eat it quickly.”
“Hey now, item distribution is—”
“Hey now! Eat it at once!!”
“Uh, uh……”
Startled by his force, the Mountain King accepted the fruit and almost pushed into it, he bit down.
