“aah!”

“Hey, save me! please!”

“Ugh… … . hurt. I can’t move.”

“Ah, Pars-sama. What are we going to do?”

“Ahhh!”

“Father, mother… … !ね!”

The appearance of the New Zealand state, which was peaceful enough to be bored, was nowhere to be seen.

The city was engulfed in a sea of fire.

People groaned in pain and crawled on the floor.

However, Seongbaeksu stood steadfastly in the midst of hell.

‘This?’

Surprised at first, Ethan soon realized that this was a thing of the past.

‘It was when the Demon King invaded the State of Nouvel.’

Nouvel has long been an inviolable land.

However, the Demon King has always trampled on the ground.

Numerous corpses were piled up in front of the lofty white tree.

It was a trace that was trying to prevent the Demon King from approaching Seongbaeksu.

good job

The Demon King trampled on the dead body’s hand and approached Seongbaeksu.

“You fool. Why are all these trees risking their lives to run away, Won.”

Treating the dead as worms, the Demon King clicked his tongue.

He raised his hand and brought it to the Seongbaeksu.

The king smiled bitterly.

“A sacred tree of unknown origin? Can you call it a sick thing to watch people die? In my eyes, they are nothing more than a living creature that cannot die.”

The Seongbaeksu, a symbol of the Pars Church, was located in the center of the Nouvelle City.

The Demon King intends to humiliate the Pars Church by killing this sacred tree.

Dark magical powers rose from the demon king’s hand.

Soon, the magical power invaded Seongbaeksu with a ferocious force.

“… … ?!”

But something strange happened.

Even after receiving the magic of the Demon King, Seongbaeksu did not wither immediately.

The Demon King was astonished.

Ethan, who was watching the scene, was also greatly surprised.

‘why?’

When magic was injected, plants withered and animals got sick and died.

But Seongbaeksu was different.

The dark eyes of the demon king observed Seongbaeksu.

‘Ugh!’

Then Ethan’s jet-black eyes pierced and he could see the inside of Seong Baek-soo.

It felt as if they were sharing the same view with the Demon King.

The Demon King rubbed his chin and muttered.

“It’s amazing. Are you disassembling my magic that has gone inside?”

Seongbaeksu splits his magical power into very small pieces and circulates it inside him.

In the process, it was made to blend naturally with the divine power he possessed.

The process was amazing.

It was a fusion of divine power and magic that had never happened in the Graven Continent.

The demon king’s jet-black eyes gleamed with interest.

That was then.

“Wow!”

“Seven heroes have arrived in the new state!”

“Let’s drive out the Demon King from the Holy Land!”

“Wonderful punishment to the demon king who trampled on the inviolable land!”

The shouts of the soldiers came from outside the castle.

It was a momentum that was used to raise the morale of the allies, but to give the enemy a sense of intimidation.

“Ts. Should I get out of here?”

The Demon King showed no regrets.

“If you do something wrong, you might get hurt.”

It was the time when the Demon King removed his hand from Seongbaeksu.

Ethan suddenly felt dizzy.

The floor moved wildly, as if drunk, and ran in front of me.

* * *

“Huh!”

Ethan opened his eyes.

Contrary to the fantasy, the state of Nouvelle was peaceful.

Ethan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“Is this an unexpected income?”

I was just hoping for a very slight hint of divine magic.

I was lucky to see the memories of the time when the Demon King got the clue of divine magic through Seongbaeksu.

Ethan frowned and remembered the past.

‘okay. After the invasion of Nouvel, there was something suspicious.’

At the time, Ethan had only guessed that the demon king would be holding onto eternal life again.

But who would have imagined that it would be a study of the fusion of divine power and magical power?

‘I thought it was a goal hitting idea, but it must have come from this tree.’

Ethan got up from his seat and looked at Seongbaeksu.

The Demon King had shown a sign of regret.

This is because even if you have witnessed a phenomenon once, you cannot reproduce it without studying it.

But Ethan was different.

‘Should I thank her?’

The Demon King had never once received divine power into his body.

On the other hand, Ethan was with the divine power from birth.

It was thanks to the blessing ceremony of the key.

Above all, he had a wealth of experience with magic.

Now that I got a clue about a new power, I knew I wanted to test it right away.

Ethan went straight to the experiment.

‘First of all, magic… … .’

Ethan circulated a small amount of magic that he drew from his jet-black eyes like a thread through his body.

Then, the divine power he had built up in his heart revolted.

Ethan didn’t panic.

It was a natural reaction to try not to mix with each other.

Sweat dripped down Ethan’s forehead.

He continued to try to mix divine and magical powers.

Then something amazing happened.

After tenacious attempts, divine power and magical power were finally mixed.

‘Where do you want to keep it?’

Magical power was already in the jet-black eyes, and divine power was in the heart.

Then, something suddenly popped into Ethan’s head.

‘okay. Knights save mana in the ship’s danjeon.’

He put a lot of effort into storing the beads of divine magic that were smaller than dust in the danjeon.

It didn’t happen all at once.

It took a long time of hard work.

After a while.

“… That’s great. Is it real?”

Ethan muttered softly.

While he was concentrating on his inner self, the moon was tilting and the dawn was coming.

Time passed in an instant as he attained great enlightenment and realized it.

Ethan was suddenly curious about the strange aura he felt in Danjeon.

‘Try it?’

Ethan raised his hand and lit a flame just like the Demon King did.

Hwareuk!

Although it was as small as a fingernail, it was definitely a spark of divine magic.

“… … !”

Ethan was at a loss for words at the marvelous sight.

As a single wizard, he could not help but be amazed at his achievements.

That was then.

The beads of divine magic the size of dust in her body were separated into divine power and magic again as if exploding.

“Cuckoo!”

Ethan suffered internal injuries and collapsed.

– If you make a mistake, you may get hurt.

The last words of the Demon King flashed through his mind.

“Damn child! If you notice something like this, tell me properly… … !”

Unable to speak, Ethan eventually lost consciousness.

* * *

A faint sound was heard.

Only an indistinct noise, as if his ears were submerged in water, tormented Ethan.

“Fine… … ? someone someone… … .”

In a faint consciousness, Ethan trembled in one eye.

But in time, the will overcame Suma (睡魔) and the bright eyes were restored.

It was then that the world appeared clearly to Ethan.

The noise in my ears also became clearer.

“Son, are you out of your mind?”

Ethan barely came to his senses and pushed the workers who were trying to support him.

“Hey, I fell down and it’s dangerous to get up alone.”

“it’s okay.”

That was then.

Upon hearing the news, Nyx rushed to his feet.

Nix looked at Ethan and shouted.

“I heard you fell. Are you all right?”

Ethan frowned.

When an accident occurred, Knicks ran first.

It seemed that the speculation that the Knicks were the guards was not wrong, as was the spirit who followed him during the day.

It was obvious that he was going to tell the worker to let him know if something happened.

“I was originally going to live a quiet life. Do you think it will be difficult?”

Nix was taken aback by the sudden remark.

However, Ethan turned his back on the Knicks as if nothing had happened and headed towards the holy beast again.

And he put his hand on the Seongbaeksu.

“So take a good look and tell me. I can’t show it to you twice.”

Baek Soo Sung.

Many efforts followed when the life, a symbol of the new city state, withered with the invasion of the Nillum Empire.

It was only to bring Seongbaeksu back to life.

However, the sacred white tree did not return to its former form.

The famous priests all shook their heads.

Even the wizards and alchemists invited from other countries said there was no way.

‘I have to take everything you have.’

Ethan muttered to himself like a greedy man.

Then, the divine power slowly flowed through the palm of his hand.

The left eye, which had jet black eyes, started to hurt.

The power of auspicious divine power formed in the palm of his hand and flowed into the sacred white tree.

‘Where are you?’

Ethan gathered his mind even more.

He was searching for the unknown power within Seongbaeksu.

If Ethan’s guess was correct, there must have been divine magic inside Seongbaeksu.

If the decomposition and the divine power and magical power within the Seongbaeksu had been harmonized for a hundred years, even if it wasn’t divine magic, there must have been a clue to it.

Ethan was aiming for it.

He was looking at the white tree with the divine power that flowed through his palm.

And he carefully extracted the divine magic that was latent in it.

‘Is this why the sacred white tree has withered until now?’

Ethan, who found the divine magic in the white tree as he intended, smiled with satisfaction.

The reason the sacred white tree withered was simple.

It succeeded in accepting the magical power that the demon king shed and fusing it with the divine power to transform it into new magical power, but since it is a holy beast who has lived as a divine creature with only divine power, it must have been that he could not fully control the divine power.

‘The power of divine magic overflowed more than I thought.’

At first, it was just a guess.

However, when he touched the inside and grasped the inside, he became convinced.

The sacred white tree was slowly melting and accumulating divine magic over a hundred years.

It withered because I was putting all my energy into it.

And Ethan intended to intercept it.

‘If you couldn’t accept everything anyway, can you share a little?’

Ethan’s eyes twinkled.

For a hundred years, the sacred white tree surprisingly succeeded in digesting most of the divine magic as nutrients.

So there was very little leftover on the sacred white tree.

Ethan was going to bring it to me.

Obviously, the remnants were a considerable amount for Ethan, who was only a boy.

But it was worth the adventure.

‘I can’t stand still when I think of that child.’

Ethan clenched his teeth.

My head was full of sparks of divine magic that had bloomed in the hand of the Demon King.

It was an astonishing force.

So Ethan was thinking of getting it himself.

The reason was simple.

‘I will trample you again!’

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

All this was for revenge.

I thought I had finished everything in my previous life, but that was just an illusion.

So Ethan had to finish his unfulfilled revenge.

It was for that reason that he was willing to accept the dangerous power of divine magic.

‘Because there is no way that child will give up on his back again.’

If the Demon King returned again, he could not expect the same luck as in his previous life.

He died after being betrayed, so he would have been more thoroughly isolated.

It was no exaggeration to say that there was no moment to catch up.

It was a certainty that could be given to Ethan, who had been a secret servant of the Demon King for decades.

So Ethan wanted divine magic.

Even if the Demon King returns, I need the strength to trample it.

bang!

That was then.

The divine magic that entered Ethan’s hand made a great impact sound inside his body.

Ethan rolled his eyes.

It was the will to not lose consciousness, and thanks to that, I was able to endure it.

“… done.”

Ethan smiled in conversion.

He could clearly feel the divine magic that had settled in his navel.

It was definitely an unknown force.

For the wizard, the power of the unknown was esoteric.

However, depending on how it was used, it could be transformed into a powerful means.

Ethan was delighted to see the possibility.

‘Does the divine power still reject the Ebony Eye?’

Ethan thought as he contemplated his inner self.

He created a small amount of divine power within his body.

However, the divine power reacted harshly as if it was going to tear the inside of the body to shreds by rejecting the jet-black eyes.

It was an extremely stable power that remained as an essence within the divine beast for a long time.

That was when Ethan was feeling the joy of what he had done.

“No, that’s ridiculous!”

Suddenly, the chaotic voices of the crowd gathered behind Ethan’s back were heard.

“A miracle has happened!”

“My God, Pars!”

“Hurry up and tell the other priests about this news!”

Everyone was astonished.

It was natural.

It is because a beautiful flower bud has bloomed on the sacred tree that has withered, the symbol of the city of Nouvelle.
