    31. Spirit Fortress (1)

    Spirit Fortress.

    After opening the Fire Sanctuary I could definitely feel the elves becoming stronger.

    The sacrifice was great but we achieved our goal so we celebrated our success and headed back home.

    During the return there was no disturbance from lichs or undead so it was very peaceful.

    “Do we need to realize the energy and essence of fire?”

    [Yes. High elf.]

    Before she knew it Piyak was snuggling up next to Diana and giving her various advice regarding fire.

    Strangely enough even though it hasn’t been long since I was born I have a lot of things in my mind.

    Of course it was disgraceful to see him do that while abandoning his master but it’s good that he won’t have to think about the spirit of anger while the Phoenix is ​​teaching him.

    There were a lot of people in the group so the road back was longer than when I ran with Alphid but fortunately the sanctuary on the ground seemed to be open along the way. The elves also began to use the power of the earth spirits.

    And when the three spirits were released the elves also began to exert their strength in earnest.

    Recover your stamina with the water spirit gain explosive speed with the fire spirit and secure endurance with the earth spirit.

    The three spirits created synergy so they were no longer helpless elves struggling with the undead. So even though the number of people in the group increased they were able to return to the fortress in ten days.

    After 10 days a return message appeared but this time I passed. First of all I have to stay until level 50.

    [Special quest completed.]

    [The Flame Chariot summoning skill is enhanced to level 2.]

    Oooh.

    There were some creepy moments but it was still an easy quest.

    [Transform the Train Fortress back into an Elemental Fortress. If that happens Diana will be ready to become an apostle of the Sun God. Prevent her from summoning the Spirit of Fury for the next 50 days.]

    [Linked quest.]

    [Difficulty: Difficult.]

    [Upgrade Train Fortress to Spirit Fortress and prevent Diana from summoning the Fury Spirit for 50 days.]

    [Quest completion reward.]

    Strengthened Flame Chariot summoning skill.

    Strengthening the Phoenix.

    The blessing of the sun god.

    and! They just gave it to me. I have to do it no matter what.

    Once it becomes a spirit fortress defense will be easy but I wonder if it won’t last 50 days but the difficulty level is difficult.

    Even after upgrading the fortress the situation where the spirit of anger is called seems to be when the fortress is in danger.

    The enemy’s main force seems to be strong. Anyway there is no penalty if you fail so just accept it.

    After accepting the quest I followed Count Oheim who came to meet me and went to the strategy conference room.

    “Are you here? “Apostle of the Goddess.”

    “You saved the elf ranger and brought the high elf Diana back safely… The goddess’s apostle is truly our hope.”

    “The Dwarf Lord Ambrosian has also opened the Earth Sanctuary so now I think we can turn the Train Fortress into an elemental fortress by just opening the Wind Sanctuary.”

    okay. If I just open it will I be able to take a breather?

    There was a lot of talk about some devices in the fortress being operable and others requiring the Wind Sanctuary to be opened.

    Of course I didn’t know what was going on so I just blanked out.

    Has so much time passed?

    Suddenly a human soldier rushed into the strategy conference room.

    “This is urgent. It is said that the Black Dragon Legion has increased its advance speed. “At our current rate I think we will reach the castle in less than twenty days.”

    The atmosphere that had been excited by the opening of the sanctuary became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.

    It’s not the vanguard like last time it’s the main force right? Well then it won’t be easy.

    “That’s too fast….”

    “I haven’t opened the Sanctuary of Wind yet.”

    “You have to open all the sanctuaries to handle the full power of the spirit. We have to somehow open the Sanctuary of Wind.”

    “How do I open the Wind Sanctuary?”

    Diana answered my question.

    “Sylphid’s Breath can be opened by simply popping it in the Wind Sanctuary with the sealed bead.”

    “I guess there’s no need for multiple parties to go?”

    yes. “There was no need for elves or dwarves who deal with spirits to go so the human knight commander Lannister went.”

    hmm. Then I can go alone… but Diana may call the spirit of anger again so I’ll have to ask her to guide me and go with me. I’m worried that my eyes may suddenly turn around.

    “Diana. Then I don’t think we need a lot of company… Diana and I let’s go quickly and come back together.”

    ah. “The two of you?”

    yes. “I think I can go alone but I don’t know the way.”

    Diana was a little embarrassed.

    But soon he nodded and agreed with what I said.

    All right.

    “Then since the matter is urgent let’s leave today.”

    yes. “Then I have some things to prepare so we’ll be leaving in an hour.”

    All right.

    Diana hurriedly leaves the conference room. Do you have a lot to prepare?

    Count Oheim who was watching the conversation between me and Diana spoke up.

    “Please take care of Diana. You look so down compared to usual. “I heard that you lost most of your family-like bodyguards… I heard from others that you almost summoned a spirit of anger is that true?”

    yes. “Yes.”

    iced coffee. Something really big was going to happen. The elves’ hope was almost lost.”

    No there is even hope….

    “But what exactly happens when you summon the Spirit of Rage?”

    “If a forbidden spirit is summoned outside the realm of order a high elf will be stripped of his divinity. Additionally the Spirit of Anger is the highest level of forbidden spirits so it is immediately downgraded to a corrupted elf. High Elves have the right to grow and protect the World Tree but if she becomes corrupted the World Tree of this era will not grow and will decline.”

    “No there is only one high elf? “Does it decline because one person is missing?”

    “In the present era there are five high elves in total. But except for Diana everyone is too old… Diana’s role is important.”

    I thought there would be a hundred high elves but there are only five…

    It really is like royalty.

    Count Oheim continued to talk as if his mouth was itching.

    What is the position of the high elves what is Diana like what is the modern human kingdom like etc.

    If I was going to live here for the rest of my life I would have listened carefully but anyway bye-bye when I restore the broken world.

    I heard it with one ear and let it out with the other.

    “…That’s why Diana’s divinity is so important.”

    “Then why did you take the risk of going to activate the Fire Sanctuary?”

    that….

    “Because the fortress lacked power.”

    Diana re-entered the conference room.

    She was carrying a small leather backpack on her right shoulder.

    “If the fortress fell I would have died anyway. Going to the Sanctuary of Fire was inevitable. “I just feel sorry for the sisters who passed away due to my carelessness.”

    I spoke quickly out of fear of sounding depressed again.

    “Are you ready?”

    yes. Now let’s get started. “I will show you the way.”

    I left the castle with her guidance.

    “Then since the matter is urgent I will leave as quickly as possible. “If you’re having a hard time please tell me.”

    yes. All right.

    She wearing armor took a deep breath and quickly flew away.

    It’s really fast?

    I also got competitive and started running with all my might.

    With each step footprints are left and the body moves forward.

    However unlike in Alphyd the distance is gradually increasing rather than narrowing.

    As we entered the forest it became more difficult to close the distance.

    Even though I was breaking down trees I could barely see Diana who was dodging the trees.

    [Why don’t you use the Flame Chariot?]

    The phoenix that was flying along with me gave this advice.

    okay. I don’t think this is the time to show pride.

    Flame Chariot is also my ability but I should use it if the speed is too fast.

    “Summon the Flame Chariot.”

    He suppressed firepower as much as possible to prevent the forest from catching fire and summoned a flame tank.

    Perhaps because the skill level increased there were three horses and both the horses and chariots were larger in size.

    In addition mana consumption was significantly reduced and now I felt like I could actually use it for movement.

    I got on the flame chariot and cast Spiritualization.

    let’s go!

    Hehehehe.

    The three fire horses simultaneously raised their front legs and started galloping like crazy.

    Much faster than when I run.

    The surrounding scenery passes by quickly.

    Fire power control also became more precise thanks to the increase in skill level so there was no fire even though it was a forest.

    “Beep… No Phoenix are you fast?”

    [You can go faster but adjust the speed appropriately.]

    “It finally seems like a new beast.”

    [What does Shinsoo do with this small body? Get stronger quickly. If it grows a little more it can fly in the sky carrying its owner.]

    Oooh.

    Is it okay to fly around on a phoenix? Although it seems a bit similar to Flame Chariot.

    As I ran while chatting casually with the phoenix I soon passed through a forest area.

    and a notable small lake area.

    Diana was standing there as if waiting for me.

    “The Flame Chariot has become stronger.”

    “I saw the effect of strengthening my magic power.”

    “Looking at the speed of the flame chariot I think I can run with all my might. “For now I will run on my feet and the Apostle will go in the flame chariot.”

    “Is it really necessary? “Let’s ride together like last time.”

    I was running hard alone but I thought I was the only one going comfortably so I suggested it.

    However she shook her head.

    “I can’t form a spirit like you so I’ll probably get caught on a tree.”

    “Isn’t the forest the end?”

    yes. There’s a lot left. “This is simply a lake area on one side of the Train Forest.”

    “If you run up to the sky….”

    “Then won’t the mana consumption increase? Don’t worry about me. “I love running through the forest.”

    All right. “Then let’s go on like this.”

    yes. Well I’d like you to rest here for a while before you go. “I have something to give you.”

    oh. What should I give you?

    Could it be that it’s a gift…potential?

    Also I don’t decline anything like this. I.

    I immediately unsummoned the Flame Chariot and approached her.

    “I was truly sorry when you told me you had lost your potential. So I thought about how I could recover even a little bit…”

    She sat down and opened her backpack.

    Then he put his hand in and started taking things out.

    First he spread a pure white cloth on the floor and then started taking out the items in the bag one by one.

    From the gently green leaves to the tree bark roots and branches to the golden-colored fruits. All items related to trees were mobilized.

    She put things in order and then asked me a question.

    “Apostle. “Are you originally human?”

    yes. you’re right.

    “In the case of humans effects are often seen starting from the leaves of the World Tree. Of course it won’t be effective if you’re as strong as the Apostle but… you said you used up all your potential so I brought it just in case.”

    Leaves of the World Tree?

    A leaf that looks like a sesame leaf the size of my upper body.

    It seemed a bit sacred that it gave off a subtle rust color.

    “Try it sometime.”

    “Can I just eat it like this?”

    yes.

    I took the large leaf straight into my mouth.

    Mumbling.

    Is it better than you think?

    A refreshing sensation that leaves your mouth with a subtle sweetness. I thought about perilla leaves but they were much more edible.

    As I somehow managed to stuff the large leaf into my mouth and ate it all a message appeared in the system window.

    [I consumed the leaves of the World Tree.]

    [User Kim Ji-ho’s physical ability potential is permanently increased.]

    [The law faction’s strength stat cap increases.]

    [The law faction’s agility stat cap increases.]

    [The neutral camp’s physical ability cap increases.]

    [Neutral faction’s physical stats can now be upgraded to B.]

    Oooh!!

    You can raise it to B!

    Even if you don’t reach C grade the limit is rising!

    “It’s up! “My potential has increased!”

    Diana looked at me with pity as I was jumping with joy.

    “No you barely managed to climb up with leaves… You really used up every last bit of your potential…”
