Chapter 528

“Special management target……”

“You’re the first case where compatibility increased during the detailed examination.”

“My compatibility increased?”

“Yes. So now, on the 1st day of every month, you need to come to the Colonial Government.“

As the High Priestess said so, she extended her finger towards Kim Jihun’s chest.

Then,

Flash…!

A green light extended and entered Kim Jihun’s body.

[You are imprinted with the Seal of the World Tree.]

“What is this……”

“It’s a ‘blessing’ given to special management targets. You might feel ill for a few days, but endure it.”

“Ah, understood!”

“Then, I’ll see you next month on the 1st.”

Whizz…!

With those final words, the High Priestess disappeared.

As she vanished, green light began to radiate out from Kim Jihun’s chest.

“Uh… I feel dizzy.”

Alongside this, his body grew limp.

Just as the High Priestess warned he might feel ill for a few days, his body did not cooperate well.

As Kim Jihun slumped to the ground and staggered,

“Are you alright?”

The group that had been waiting, including Lee Hayeon, rushed out of the car and quickly supported him.

“I, I’ll just rest for a moment……”

“Yes, just close your eyes for a bit.”

Even though Kim Jihun’s body had transformed into that of a Half-Elf, the fatigue was overwhelming.

Rather than resisting, Seong Jihan decided to let the shell sleep, matching the situation.

As Kim Jihun fell asleep in an instant,

“What happened exactly……?”

“Earlier, the Elf High Priestess did mention he was a special management target.”

“Did something come up during the detailed examination?”

“It appears so……”

“For now, let’s drive slowly.”

Checking his condition, Lee Hayeon and Lim Gayeong conversed.

‘The Seal of the World Tree. The seal is still being engraved on the chest, so no effects are apparent yet, but… it looks like it will take a few days to complete.’

The faint green light seeping from his chest was slowly engraving the seal onto Kim Jihun’s body.

Until it was completed, Kim Jihun’s condition would likely remain poor.

‘Then, this is the perfect time to initiate a terror attack.’

The ‘Kim Jihun’ created by Sacred Flame could exist separately.

Of course, if Seong Jihan left, it would just be an unconscious flesh shell.

But in the current state, with the World Tree Seal being implanted and Kim Jihun asleep,

It should be fine even if the shell stayed in bed.

“We’ve arrived, Mr. Kim Jihun.”

“Uh, uh……”

“Are you feeling better? We’ll help you to your home.”

“I’m… really sorry, but could you help?”

Completely limp, supported by the two people up to his doorstep, Kim Jihun finally spoke.

‘Ah… this place. It used to be Sophia’s.’

Upon entering his place, Lee Hayeon was slightly surprised internally.

‘So, it’s up for rent…? Well, there’s no way Sophia would come back to Korea.’

She accepted it internally and laid Kim Jihun on the bed.

“Mr. Kim Jihun, I’ve left my number here. Please call if anything happens.”

“Thank you… so much……”

Thunk!

With those final words, he collapsed into a deep sleep on the bed.

“What in the world did the Elf do for him to end up like this?”

“I heard it was a blessing.”

“You’re so lucky to hear everything from a distance, Gayeong.”

“Well, that’s why I’m on the national team, isn’t it?”

“Seriously, players are the best. Alright, let’s go.”

As Lee Hayeon and Lim Gayeong left swiftly,

‘Alright, let’s go.’

In a swirl…

Blue smoke briefly rose from Kim Jihun’s body, further weakening it.

Seong Jihan floated above his body.

‘Let’s start here.’

He selected one of the planet coordinates he saw on the community.

‘Even though I could use Mind Creates All for spatial travel…’

The Mind Creates All allowed moving through space via the sword.

However, it would leave traces in the surroundings.

Since he needed to act discreetly now,

‘I’ll use Red’s power to open a portal.’

The Red Administrator, exceptional at everything except combat.

Indeed, his powers were extremely useful in daily life.

Crackle…

As electricity sparked in the air, a small red portal formed.

Swoosh!

Seong Jihan entered it.

When he emerged on the other side of the portal,

‘I got it right.’

In the vast space of the universe, a planet lay beneath him.

* * *

The World Tree Elf’s planet.

Though smaller than Earth, it was still enormous for one person to take down.

‘Anyway, my target is the World Tree.’

At times like this, having a clear target was beneficial.

Seong Jihan scanned the planet.

‘The World Tree is… over there.’

Finding the spot with the most concentrated life force,

He immediately moved towards it.

Tap.

Breaking through the atmosphere in an instant, Seong Jihan landed.

‘Compared to the World Tree at Namsan, this one is only 1/5th the size.’

He stood before the World Tree of this planet with a composed face.

Although the tree was overwhelmingly large,

Its scale and life force were inferior to the World Tree at Namsan’s Colonial Government.

This revealed how much effort the World Tree Alliance had put into Earth.

“What about the Bronze League species this time?”

“Nothing special. Followed the manual, executed them.”

“Just another unusual case like that ‘humanity’ one.”

Elves, all looking alike, gathered discussing Space League games within the Bronze League.

‘So, this planet is in the Bronze League. Talking about player executions like that.’

A method previously attempted on humanity but failed.

It seems they were still using it elsewhere successfully.

“That strange case species, Yggdrasil graciously designated them as a colony, didn’t she?”

“I wanted to be dispatched there, but too many senior candidates applied, so I failed.”

“I’m envious. Could have directly dealt with those disgraceful humans.”

“When they’re culling humanity, they might recruit an extermination squad. Try applying again then. I’m sure you’ll make it, sister.”

Elves cheerfully discussed the execution plans related to humanity.

Although some glanced in Seong Jihan’s direction,

None of them noticed his presence.

Due to the overwhelming domain of Blue combined with Martial Soul,

The moment Seong Jihan decided to hide his presence,

Neither the elves nor the World Tree could perceive him.

‘If the elves here talk like this, the culling of humanity is probably planned after extracting Blue.’

Then,

No more reason to hesitate in cutting down the World Tree.

‘Let’s proceed.’

In a swirl…

Seong Jihan expanded the Blue domain significantly.

Over several kilometers of space surrounding the World Tree fell entirely under his control.

None of the elves sensed anything amiss.

‘Let’s tidy up.’

A light tap on the ground from Seong Jihan’s foot.

Boom!

The ground trembled lightly.

Then,

Pop! Pop! Pop!

The elves near the World Tree simultaneously blew up.

Without knowing what happened,

Their bodies exploded while still smiling.

Whoosh…!

Their bodies were torn into tiny pieces and burned, leaving no trace.

With a single light tap, all the elf players were annihilated.

Seong Jihan turned his gaze to the World Tree.

‘I shouldn’t destroy this using Blue’s power.’

In a swirl…

the Blue and Red Sword appeared in the air.

Seong Jihan embedded it into the World Tree.

The sword smoothly embedded itself.

‘It’s the first time I’m offering a World Tree, better start with a small crack.’

As it was the first sacrifice, Seong Jihan slightly loosened the seal on Blue and red.

A tiny part of the blue aura around Blue and Red turned red.

As the red point glistened,

Whoosh…!

The enormous World Tree was sucked into Blue and Red in an instant.

[‘D-grade World Tree’ absorbed by Hell.]

[Absorption efficiency greatly reduced by Blue.]

[Red stat increased by 200.]

A red message window appeared in front of Seong Jihan’s eyes,

Informing him of the 200 stat increase in Red.

‘Opening only this small space increased the Red stat by 200.’

By opening a mere point-sized crack,

The World Tree was swiftly absorbed, raising the Red stat by 200.

Had the target been higher-grade or the crack slightly larger,

The Red stat might have reached the 700 cap instantly.

‘I need to be careful with this, better make it smaller.’

After resealing Blue and Red, Seong Jihan surveyed the surroundings.

The completely vanished World Tree and the annihilated elves.

‘Thanks to Blue and Red’s clean absorption, no trace of me remains.’

Seems like a perfect crime.

‘Let’s visit a few more places.’

Crackle…

A red portal opened in the air.

Seong Jihan’s body moved towards the next World Tree Elf’s planet.

* * *

The 4th planet of the World Tree Alliance.

This place differed from the previous ones.

Numerous High Elves, having some green in their hair, were standing near the World Tree.

‘The World Tree here is quite large, almost half the size of the one at Namsan.’

The World Tree showcased a significant scale.

Given its size, it might offer some resistance compared to previous planets.

But,

In a swirl…

Until Blue’s domain expanded completely.

The elves, just like before, didn’t notice a thing.

‘Even High Elves can be handled with Blue’s domain.’

A light tap on the ground from Seong Jihan’s foot.

“Hm…?”

Some High Elves sensed something was wrong.

Blaze…!

But before they could resist, the surrounding elves exploded simultaneously.

“Ah…?”

“What’s happening…!”

Although some High Elves tried to regenerate their bodies quickly after exploding,

Whoosh…!

The burned fragments of their bodies failed to regenerate further.

‘This is absurd.’

They’re too easy.

After cleaning up the surroundings, Seong Jihan approached the World Tree.

When he embedded Blue and Red,

[‘B-grade World Tree’ absorbed by the Hell.]

[Absorption efficiency greatly reduced by Blue.]

[Red stat increased by 250.]

The enormous World Tree got sucked into the sword.

A red message window appeared in front of his eyes.

Despite loosening Blue and Red’s seal even lesser than before, the Red stat increased.

‘It was a B-grade. No wonder it felt larger.’

Though not as large as Namsan’s, the B-grade World Tree’s life force was significantly stronger than a D-grade one.

That’s why there were many High Elves capable of regeneration even after bursting.

Higher-ranked targets might offer resistance, eventually.

“Should I look for an A-grade…”

A planet from the World Tree Alliance utterly devastated by the mere extension of Blue’s domain.

Since no real battle had taken place, Seong Jihan felt unsatisfied.

He needed to act discreetly, but it was too easy.

“Hmm… well.”

As he was looking through the saved coordinates from the BattleNet community,

Flash…!

From within Blue and Red, a red light flashed.

[Blue one, I’d recommend stopping here today.]

A red eye appeared at the center.

[Absorbing more Red might create gaps in Blue and Red. That could break the seal.]

The red eye gazed at Seong Jihan.

He knew well the identity of that eye.

“…Wouldn’t that be good for you, Red Administrator?”

[No.]

Twitch.

The red eye at the center of Blue and Red shifted slightly.

The ‘Red Administrator’ responded to Seong Jihan’s words.

[I like it here.]
