Chapter 188: Sacred Zone (3)

Kim Yura remained silent while moving. She sometimes looked at me with complicated eyes but she didn’t open her mouth.

I was the Saviour and also the master of the dungeon.

It was an unchanging fact.

Due to the atmosphere, Kim Yura didn’t dare speak and just moved her feet.

”Here.”

A place where the dark elves lived.

I stepped on the floor where the Tree of Origin was.

It was a presence larger than any creature we had passed.

Kim Yura’s eyes widened. Due to her awakening and the holy power of a Saintess, the Tree of Origin was welcoming her.

“Divine tree...”

Kim Yura muttered in a small voice.

I just laughed.

”It isn’t a big deal.”

We had different perspectives. Some might called it a divine tree but from my point of view, the Tree of Origin was just an unusual tree.

I had met the gods of the earth before returning to the past and the tree didn’t feel like them. It was just some pressure. I wasn’t going to look up to it.

“Welcome, Dungeon Master.”

Julliom was the first one to notice my presence. The dark elves of the village lined up behind him.

There was roughly 1,000 of them. There were many children...it seemed like the population of dark elves had been increasing.

At the same time, they were looking at me with total loyalty. I took such devotion for granted but Kim Yura stared at them with fascination.

“Dark elves...”

The dark elves were famous for not following anyone. The only person they followed was naturally the Dungeon Master. Kim Yura bit her lip as if there was no doubt now.

Whether she believed it or not, I went straight to the point.

”Bring me to the female human that I left here.”

“Yes. Although she hasn’t regained her spirit.”

Julliom replied. I shook my head and said.

“I will see her.”

”Follow me.”

Julliom led the way. An unusually lush forest area in the centre. After walking through some buildings, Julliom’s house appeared.

I had left Kim Min-ji, who needed treatment, with Julliom. The dark elves didn’t like humans very much...they followed my orders but that wouldn’t change.

Kim Min-ji lay on a bed made of grass and leaves. Dark elves were taking turns feeding her some porridge.

“...Min-ji!”

Kim Yura was overcome with emotions as she ran towards Kim Min-ji. But for some reason, Kim Min-ji acted like she couldn’t hear it at all.

“Is something wrong?”

I asked about Kim Min-ji’s strange attitude and Julliom replied.

”That...she seems to have lost something important.”

“Lost?”

”Her spirit. I don’t know why but she is just like a doll.”

I turned my eyes towards Kim Min-ji. Kim Min-ji was expressionless like a marionette.

Spirit. The spirit.

Originally it was normal. In addition to the physical injuries, she seemed to have received a larger shock.

Was there a problem with the awakening?

”Is she an idiot?”

To be honest, I didn’t know if she had really lost her spirit. But this type of reaction was usually seen from those who were idiots.

Julliom shook his head.

”She isn’t an idiot. She reacts to some things. But...isn’t she connected to that human woman? Then there might be a reaction.”

Kim Yura was sobbing while holding Kim Min-ji. Even so, there was no reaction.

”I will be back after a while. I will be near the Tree of Origin.”

“Go take a look, Dungeon Master.”

Julliom glanced towards two dark elves. I refused to allow them to accompany me and started walking alone.

Yihi could communicate with the Tree of Origin as the Origin Fairy, but I had never managed to talk to it. It was a special challenge that I hadn’t tried.

But after hearing the story about Camael and the sun swallowing the moon...I wanted to come here and think for a minute.

‘It isn’t me.’

It wasn’t in my nature but I decided it wouldn’t hurt to be emotional for once. I leaned back against the Tree of Origin and folded my arms.

‘Camael, the sun swallowing the moon...’

A strong being that hadn’t appeared in my previous life. His emergence was due to me.

‘I am changing everything.’

Change was never bad. I looked at these changes positively. However, the changes were often abrupt.

Despite Camael and the angels, my goal to become the devil was unchanged. Still, it was crucial to become stronger faster. The current me couldn’t beat a seraphim.

‘I went to the Underground World and became stronger. More than anyone else. I won’t stop here and will surely continue to grow...it isn’t enough.’

Camael was a very big variable.
