Level Up

He slowly walked forward with his sword hanging loose.

The warped horseman jumps to his feet and stares at the stone. It was a black shaped beast. There were five short horns on his forehead.

The horn was so short that it looked like a lump.

The Hyundai approached the Five Horned Horses. Then, like lightning, I stabbed both sides with my sword.

Chuckle! Chuckle!

Two horses hiding in the air are caught again. At least they barely held back the sword of the stone with their arms.

I had to break my arm in return, of course.

Hyundai immediately flew down to somewhere and lowered his sword for a long time.

Quadruple!

A horseman appears from the air. The horseman is slowly splitting into new ones.

Puchemistry!

Black smoke erupts from everywhere.

It was too strong for the stone to handle, and my body exploded.

There was nothing good about the Black Smoke emitted by the Horsemen as they died.

The stone stands back and avoids it. Then he lightly slashed the neck of one of the two horses that had been twisted.

Shotgun!

From there, he dodged himself again and slammed the rest of the Demon's neck.

Shotgun!

He looks back again at the Horseman, who is still staring at him.

“Why are Humans... here? ”

The Horses speak the language of the Horses. He also said that he didn't think he would understand what he was saying.

Surprisingly, Hyundai spoke in the language of a very proficient Horseman.

“Is there a reason humans shouldn't be here? ”

I was appalled by the horror on the Horseman's face.

“Do you... understand me?" ”

Hyun-seok smiled.

“Shouldn't humans speak of the Demons? I heard some of the Horsemen speak Human language pretty well. ”

“That's it…. ”

That's because human language is so much easier than the Maw language. The language structure of the Magi was so complex that it was not even easy to pronounce.

On the contrary, human language was a childish prank for the Magi.

Of course, there are many horses that have not been trained because they are a nuisance at all.

Hyun-seok makes a swift move toward the Horsemen.

The Mages are furious and retreat behind them. He was strong enough not to be challenged. If you run head-on, you'll just die.

I couldn't do that. We must let them know that a strong human has emerged who somehow survived.

“I have a few questions. ”

Hyun-Seok said so, and lightly flew away.

Whoo-hoo!

Heave-ho!

Suddenly, the hand of the stone grabs hold of the horse's neck.

“Hehehehehe!”

The Horsemen could not breathe properly. And surprisingly, I couldn't move my body properly.

I didn't even know what was going on. It was too painful to figure that out.

“Why are they targeting that tree? ”

“Cough, cough!"

The Mages have not been able to answer if it is painful. Hyun-seok loosened his hands a bit.

“Hehehehe! Hehe! Huff!”

The demons stared at the stone with frightening eyes. Hyun-Seok felt a new feeling seeing such a horseman.

Existing horsemen were actually more like horses than horses.

It looked like that to me.

They seemed rational, but they were acting a lot more like instinct than reason.

But these Horses were different.

“I've come for the water of life. ”

“Water of Life? What is it? ”

“Power to support the tree of origin. ”

“So you attacked this tree to gain strength? So this tree is the source tree? ”

Actually, I didn't need to ask. The moment I felt magic in the tree in the first place, I checked my name through my mind.

“Yes. We definitely need the water of life to Awaken Madus." ”

“Madus?”

Unlike so far, the Mage speak with a slightly aggravated voice.

“The great one who rules the world. He is so strong that he can never know the end. And he is the one who will give us that great power. ”

The Mages have spoken so far, this time in a gentle voice.

“How is it? Will you take the water of life with me and give it to Madus?“ Perhaps you would take great care of Madus. ”

“Interesting.”

“Right? You could rule the world under Madhus." ”

Hyun-Seok smiled at that.

“Then why is the great Madus not coming himself and sending all the clumsy horses? ”

“Because it's still a wake-up call. When it's time for Awakening, I don't have to do this, but now I don't have time. This is a bad time not to wake up. That's why we need the water of life. ”

“How many horseshoes are there like Lightning Boars? That wasn't all, was it? ”

“No way! Lightning Boar, there are no more, but there are still Razor Eagles. If we bring them all in, we can crush this tree with our bare hands. ”

“Then why didn't you bring him? ”

“Something like that will happen. ”

The Mage's mouth tightens with a firm expression about it.

And Hyun-seok had nothing more to say to the Horsemen.

“So the Bladed Eagle won't be coming. ”

“Th-that's... th-that's it! ”

The devil opened his eyes wide to say no. Hyun-seok snaps the heads of the horses with an indifferent face.

Heave-ho!

Hyun-seok hurls at the stirrups.

Puerto Rican!

The Horsemen were scattered as black smoke. All the other dead horses disappeared into black smoke.

‘It... seems different.' ’

The horses and horses inside the dungeon were unusual.

“Well, then…. ”

Hyundai turns to look at the tree of origin. The flow of magical power flowing from the tree was causing subtle changes.

Hyun-seok noticed the change and laughed.

“Shall we open the closed door first? ”

The magic flowing through the tree became a little rough. Like he was embarrassed.

* * *

Hyun-seok stared at the people sitting in front of him with his curious eyes.

They were people with green bodies. They introduced themselves as a species of forest, but they really smelled grass. The feeling of vibrancy was also closer to plants.

‘You're a vegetable.’

Hyun-Seok thinks that way, and looks carefully at the forest.

It was confirmed through my mind that I was a level 150 rank warrior.

It was not a low level, but it was also not a high level. There was no one here with that powerful magical power that I felt outside the tree.

‘Roughly…… I thought I'd surpassed 200 levels. ’

Currently, the stone was inside the source tree.

Inside the source tree, a cavern is being dug out like a complex maze.

Not by force, but by communicating with the tree from the source, the forest tribes made their way.

Thousands of years have passed and this complex maze was completed.

It was their own city that transformed the structure and shape of the interior without affecting the tree at all.

There was always an end to the maze, and each end had a room, like a big hump.

The place where the string is now was in the middle of such a room.

I was sitting on a wooden chair-like chair with a wooden lampstand in front of me.

There were three tribes of forest sitting in front of the stone, all unable to conceal their tensions.

“First of all... Thank you for defeating the Horsemen who are attacking our clan." ”

Hyun-seok glanced at them quietly and said something.

“Looks like the Horsemen are here for the Water of Life. Can you see what it is? ”

“That's ……. ”

Everyone looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

However, one of them looked at the stone with a stiff face.

“First...... every decision about the water of life is made by the Chief. We don't have permission. So... I'll take you to the Chief. ”

Hyun-Seok nodded his head unevenly.

“Sure."

In fact, I was just wondering what the water of life was, and I didn't think I'd get it.

There were many ways to be strong for Hyundai, not to mention the water of life. It was full of Rainbow Elixir materials.

The tribes of the forest quietly get up and go outside. Before leaving, he told me to look at the string and follow.

Hyun-Seok followed closely and looked around. There weren't a lot of forest tribes running around.

Everyone seemed to be living quietly at home.

They really fit the nickname that Hyundai just gave them.

Quiet, static, noisy or hated conflict.

I can only guess the propensity a little when I see the Horses sneaking into the trees and just being passively defensive.

Vegetarians can't see very well, so I couldn't compare and check something much.

So I walked carefully looking at the magic flowing inside the source tree.

The tree of origin draws its magical power from its roots and is constantly sending it up.

If you live in that stream of enormous magical power, you accept the magical power of the tree bit by bit and become like a forest tribe now.

There were other flows of magical power. And if you look at those flows, they were forming a huge magical pattern, that is, a magic circle.

It was so large that I couldn't confirm exactly what magic it was.

But it was never just ordinary magic. I'm not going to use all the magical power that flows through the tree of origin to use ordinary magic.

The sorcery camp was a magic that could only be used once the tree of origin had reached its end.

It doesn't look like someone made it on purpose. There were too many variables to say I did it on purpose, and the sorcery itself was rough and crude.

Hyunseok continued to follow them, checking them with a curious eye.

All the way up the hill. It seemed to be trying to get to the top of the tree.

Arrived at my destination within I really climbed to the top of the tree. Of course, that didn't mean I got out of the tree.

“The chief is here. ”

The chief's room was the only room with windows in the source tree. There's a hole out there that allows me to see far away.

The chief lay on the bed in the room, and slowly got up as the stone rose inside.

“Thank you on behalf of your clan. ”

“I didn't mean to say hello. ”

“You want to see the Water of Life? ”

Hyun-seok glanced at the chieftain. I never told him about it, but I wondered how he knew.

“Our kind of forest works pretty well in the source tree. All you need to do is pay attention to what you're saying in here and pay attention to what you're saying. ”

So when guests come in, I'll concentrate on them, which means most of them were listening to the conversation of Hyundai and the Forest Tribe.

“That's amazing. ”

Hyundai was really curious. In fact, it was a continuation of wonder from the moment I saw the forest tribes.

Whitehall, however, had no idea that this kind of tribe was living in the dungeon.

In fact, I've been thinking for a long time about whether individual Whitehall can lead to different worlds.

But I did not check it properly and came back.

But seeing the tribe of this forest, I thought, maybe the families that did or did at that time, might lead to the truth.

“Can you see the water of life? ”

The chieftain got up from his seat and walked to the stone.

Hyun-seok was sitting in front of a wooden lampstand with his palm on it.

Hyun-Seok woke up from his seat in surprise at that moment.

It was because I felt a great magical flow on the table. It was as if the table was empty and something huge was rushing up through the empty space.

The chieftain who confirmed it looked at the stone with a curious eye.

“You're very sensitive. I don't usually understand what's going on. ”

The chief says so and takes his hands off the table.

Then the top of the table fades and disappears. Inside, there was plenty of water.

That was the water of life.

Hyundai could see that it was an aggregate of enormous magical power.

[Water of Life]

I was able to confirm the name right away through my mind.

Hyun-seok also checked the information of the water of life by focusing on its name.

The End
