Chapter 105: Abnormal Proliferation (2)

Despite releasing a number of creatures, I knew that it was only a temporary measure.

I could gain some room but it wouldn’t lead to permanent peace. The same problem would continue unless I removed the root cause.

The propagation rate was steadily growing. The quality was never diminishing.

Time passed. My anxiety reached peak levels.

Yihi didn’t wake up and the light from the Dungeon Core was waning every day.

‘Tree of Origin.’

I knew the cause. I knew but was unable to move my hand.

“However…”

I pulled out Wrath.

Then I headed towards the Tree of Origin on the 15th floor.

“Dungeon Master. Please calm yourself. There are other ways to solve it.”

Julliom realized my intentions and knelt down before me. The tree was the representation of their desires.

But it was no use. My patience was already dried up.

“Julliom. I need to remove the cause of the side effects. This decision was long overdue. In fact, I should have moved quicker.”

Suok!

Pasak!

I brandished my sword. A corner of the Tree of Origin was cut down. Julliom’s body trembled and he grabbed my pants.

“Ahh…! No! Please, please not the Tree of Origin!”

“If the dungeon collapses then there will be no tree. Don’t block me. I will cut you both down if you continue acting like this.”

Kuuuuoh!

It was right at that moment. The Tree of Origin made a sound like it was screaming. It tried to defend itself.

However, that was just wishful thinking.

Pasasak!

Hundreds of branches were cut down. I was using the skill Dark Sword so the severed objects didn’t grow back.

Kuuuuoh!

“Shut up. I’ve endured it for as long as possible. This wouldn’t have been necessary if you hadn’t disturbed me.”

I had an indifferent expression.

As I used my sword, Julliom and the dark elves in the vicinity blocked their eyes and ears. They couldn’t help shedding tears.

The Tree of Origin was the source of their dreams and hope. The only sanctuary in this dungeon. Now it was being cut down indiscriminately. They couldn’t block it. A sense of helplessness filled their bodies.

I stopped to take a breath in the middle.

“…My Dungeon Master. I found something. A person who can communicate with nature.”

Chrisley, who previously left the dungeon, had hastily returned.

There was a small human girl with her.

A human girl. She was approximately nine years old?

An existence that didn’t fit in the dungeon. She didn’t pay attention to any of the surrounding dark elves. The girl looked at the Tree of Origin and started weeping.

“Ah…”

The girl sat down close to the Tree of Origin and started embracing it.

I realized straight away that the girl was an Awakened. Dull eyes. I also recognized that she wasn’t normal.

“Autistic?”

“Yes. But she can communicate with nature.”

Chrisley showed her resolve in addressing this problem by leaving the dungeon. That was two weeks ago. Then this was her answer.

I opened Mind’s Eye.
