nChapter 106: Dungeon Destruction (1)

nEveryone in the area held their breaths. It was the same for me as well. I silently but intensely stared at Lee Sarang and Yihi.

nLee Sarang was known as the Queen of Benevolence in my previous life.

nChrisley had brought her. I didn’t expect much but she came up with a way to solve the problem with the Tree of Origin.

nDestiny? A bond? I didn’t believe in such abstract things.

nChrisley’s contribution was large.

nBut if the problem wasn’t resolved or even grew…Lee Sarang wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility, even if she had 425 potential. I wouldn’t kill her, but a lot of pain would follow. I would make her lose her mind and turn her into a doll.

nHowever…she had to do it well.

n“My Dungeon Master. This seems like it will take some time. You should relax while I protect this place.” A day had passed. I shook my head at Chrisley’s words.

n“No. The process itself is very interesting. I can’t miss this scene.”

nIt was also important. I had great interest in this matter so I couldn’t rest. A crisis might occur. For example, there might be a situation where the Dungeon Master’s permission was required and I would need to handle it in real time.

nI could use the remaining capacities of the Dungeon Core from here.

nTwo days passed. Then three days.

nLee Sarang’s body started to sway. She was 10 years old at the most. She managed to hold out without eating and drinking for three days. She had autism but she was also the intermediary in the resonance between the Tree of Origin and Yihi.

nI couldn’t break her concentration by bringing her something to eat.

nAnd after one more day.

nKuoooooh-!

nThe Tree of Origin trembled. The branches extended and embraced Yihi and Lee Sarang.

nIt was the first time there was movement in the last four days. Everyone was focused. All the dark elves were holding their breaths as they watched the situation. I was no different.

nSoon the Tree of Origin completely embraced Lee Sarang and Yihi.

n-The Tree of Origin has acknowledged the fairy of the Dungeon Core as ‘Soul Companions.’

nThe Tree of Origin has become more complete.

nThe fairy of the Dungeon Core has been promoted to ‘Origin Fairy!’

n-A fairy has been successfully promoted for the first time.

nThe ‘Origin Fairy’ is present together with the Tree of Origin. The fairy will return to her original state if the Tree of Origin disappears.

n-A decision. The compensation for the achievement is currently being calculated.

n5,400,000pt will be paid.

n5,000 achievement points will be added.

n‘Excellent.’

nIt was the first time I had seen such high compensation.

nYihi was also changing little by little. Her wings grew longer and her limbs became slightly more elongated. Her hair also grew. She was still chubby like a one year old but it seemed like she was feeling better.

nYihi slowly opened her eyes in the heart of the Tree of Origin.

n“……?”

nShe didn’t seem to know how to express herself.

nHer eyes were glazed as she looked around.

nThen Yihi saw me and gave her silly smile.

n“Yihi~”

n* * *

nThe abnormal growth stopped. As expected, it was a side effect from the Tree of Origin going out of control.

nYihi was promoted and became more versatile. She could properly utilize the Tree of Origin to exert a strong physical force. For example, she could strengthen the roots or take advantage of it as materials for equipment.

n“Ohh! Materials like this actually exist in the world!”

nThe dwarves were excited.

nThey could create things from mysterious materials. At the very least, the equipment would be rare grade. Some unique rated items might even emerge.

n“A lot of the leaves…it will be helpful in raising the angels.”

nAnd that wasn’t all. The original Tree of Origin only had a small number of leaves. But the leaves doubled in an instant after communicating with Yihi. I gave them to Tashmal and they could also be used as potion ingredients.

nThe leaves from the tree had a strong healing effect. Taking them in the long term would also cause stats to rise. Thanks to repetitively taking them, I managed to increase intelligence by 2.

n“Master! Yihi will give you a gift. Yihihi.”

n“It is a strange looking bead.”

nYihi approached while I was checking the status of the dungeon. The bead was the size of a thumbnail but gave off an abnormal amount of magic power.

n“It isn’t strange. Yihi asked. This is the Essence of Origin. It can be created once every year. It is very good to eat.”

nThere was something like this?

nIt was something that the Tree of Origin could only create once a year.

nI opened Mind’s Eye.

n-Name – Essence of Origin

nDescription: An essence created by the Tree of Origin that is filled with one year’s worth of magic power. It is almost impossible for the gods to obtain so even they consider it a special occasion.

n* After taking it, the maximum potential limit will increase by 1.

n‘Break through the limit…!’

nI looked at the essence closely.

nI knew what it meant by increasing the maximum potential.

nThe potential threshold of a demon was 500. All stats could reach exactly 100 points. After reaching 100, a huge difference would be felt even if it only rose by one.

n‘In my previous life, the grand dukes broke through the limit. But I didn’t know the method.’

nOf course, they couldn’t have made the breakthrough using the Essence of Origin. Other methods were used.

n‘The Essence of Origin is one of the solutions to breaking through the limit.’

nI nodded.

nThis was important information. I didn’t need this right now but…Adonis? He unfortunately reached his maximum potential and would find it hard to raise his stats even further. I could trade this with Adonis.

n‘It is an important key.’

nThe corners of my mouth rose.

n“Good job.”

n“Yihihi. Then please stroke Yihi’s head.”

nYihi stuck out her head.

nI hesitated for a moment before petting Yihi’s head. Yihi was more pampered after she became the Origin Fairy. I wasn’t as restrained anymore and stopped hiding my feelings.

n“Yihihihi. I like this. Yihi will now go walk the bees.”

nYihi laughed and flew off with red cheeks.

nI looked down at my hand.

n“Hrmm…”

nOrigin Fairy.

nDespite this status, Yihi was still Yihi.

nThe flesh was hungry. He occupied himself eating soil and grass. After passing through insects and mice, he realized they tasted better. Since then, he went to find living things.

nOver time, he became bigger until he realized that ‘humans’ were the most delicious meal. He gobbled up a whole village of humans. He ate. Delicious.

nThen all the humans around him were eaten. He returned to the original place. A big castle. It wasn’t easy to enter the dungeon. Due to his size, the entrance was blocked.

nIt was necessary to increase the size of the entrance. He ate the walls. By the way, there was a hint of sweetness.

nThe dungeon barrier. It wrapped around the outside of the dungeon and was tasty. The flesh started absorbing the dungeon barrier.

n“This damn flesh should get lost!”

nPakan Griolli stomped his feet.

nA strange flesh was attached to the dungeon barrier and he received a warning message. The durability was going down by the minute.

nBut it was hard to launch attacks against the flesh. He just recovered and actually increased in size. This was due to his 130 points in stamina.

nIt would be nice if he could use a scroll to move the flesh to another location.

nPakan Griolli crossed his arms and frowned.

n-Barrier Durability 410,233

/1,000,000

n“Dammit! Kill! Kill it!”

nHe mobilized all his creatures. But the flesh finally fell. The flesh couldn’t absorb all the attacks from the creatures.

n“Hahaha! This tenacious brat! He finally died!”

nAfter days of struggling, Infinite Flesh was finally killed. Pakan Griolli laughed out loud.

nThe damage was considerable and the barrier eventually destroyed, but he thought killing the flesh was more important.

nBut Pakan Griolli had no idea of one thing.

nWhen the barrier had shattered, a message window flashed in front of all Awakened!
