Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 363.2: Masked God ②

The situation has changed considerably in just one month. One night after the feast. Seeing Yggdras warriors gathered at the mansion, I, Serene, let out a sigh of admiration.

The feast held last night was also the first in a really long time. For a long time after Yggdras warriors went missing, there has been no bright news in Yggdra. The city has been quiet since many of those unable to fight were evacuated outside of Yggdra, but now Yggdra is overflowing with a glimmer of hope.

Hope returned because the Treasure Shrine has been successfully weakened, but the biggest factor is probably the fact that the missing warriors from Yggdra returned alive. These members, who have undergone rigorous training to stop the World Tree from going out of control, are Yggdras pride and hope.

Immediately after their return, the warriors were exhausted, but after being reunited with their families, they regained their fighting spirit. There is not a single one of them who refuses to go to the next battle.

It is safe to say that we have already achieved our goal. We were able to weaken the Treasure Shrine before the god fully manifested. The missing members have also returned. If Yggdra can improve the Mana Materials Stirring Device created by Sytry, it would be possible to erase the Treasure Shrine and perhaps even stop the World Tree from growing any further.

Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) are Hunters even more wonderful than I have imagined. Up until this point, we have received nothing but help. Next, it is my turn to repay their kindness.

Head to the World TreeTo the Temple of Origin and this time I will succeed in lifting Luke Saikols curse.

I look at the statue placed in the center of the roomThe statue of Luke Saikol, full of dynamism as if it would start to move at any moment.

Sheros curse that is affecting Luke is powerful.

Normally, there is no way that I cannot lift the curse. Shero is an honorable high-ranking Spirit People who descends from Yggdras royal family, but I am superior when it comes to blood alone. It is hard to imagine that Sheros ability as a Shaman is better than mine.

The first attempt to lift the curse without the help of the World Tree was because it should have been possible to lift the curse without the power of the World Tree. However, it actually failed.

The only thing left to do is try to lift the curse with the help of the World Tree. But if that doesnt work, then.

I shake my head to shake off the anxiety that comes to my mind. It is alright, I am sure it will succeed. Besides, I am not alone now. Ruin is there, Yggdras warriors have returned, and there are excellent Magi.

Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) taught me the importance of working together. If we all work together, there will be nothing we cannot do and nothing to be afraid of.

Fortunately, the curse placed on Luke has not yet completely consumed his soul. Normally, a curse this strong would have immediately damaged the soul to an irreparable state, but Lukes soul is probably extremely strong.

We will leave when Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) finishes with his preparation. Although the Temple of Origin has been successfully weakened, it is still active. We wont go inside, but we dont know what will happen. Dont let your guard down (Serene)

I have died once. I have no hesitation in using this life of mine for our new friends. We owe them more than we can ever repay, but lets pay back a little here. Humans lifespan is short. (Ruin)

Ruin responded to what I said with a faint smile. That alone made me feel a little less nervous. Thats right. The debt I can repay by lifting the curse is the debt I received when they found Shero. The debt we owe for stopping the World Tree from running out of control must be repaid through other means. I cannot afford to just stand there.

Just as I take a deep breath, my companions suddenly rush into the room in a flurry. They are the unit that was monitoring the Treasure Shrine. They report with a pale face.

Serene-sama, it is terrible. There are signs of the Temple of OriginCollapsing. (Yggdra Scout)

Eh? (Serene)

I couldnt help but look back at my compatriots with a serious look on my face at the improbable story.

The power of the Black World Tree has indeed narrowed down the supply of Mana Materials. However, it is only on the South side that the inflow of Mana Materials has been limited and in the first place, Treasure Shrines are not something that will collapse so early. Even the strategy that Sytry devised was aimed at weakening the Treasure Shrine, but it did not anticipate its collapse.

When the supply of Mana Materials decreases, Treasure Shrines attempts to preserve itself by converting Phantoms and Relics into power. Even if the power supply is completely reduced to zero, Treasure Shrines would not disappear before a while.

The collapse of the Temple of Origin is definitely good news for us. However, I cannot just be happy about it.

Yggdra has never been able to deal with the World Trees rampage to this extent. I dont know what will happen from here on out.

I will be heading to the Temple of Origin to see what is going on. Someone please contact Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) (Serene)

When I was starting to give instructions, it happened.

I feel as if my heart has frozen. I forget how to breathe. I question my sanity.

Yggdra is a city created by my ancestors. I have full authority over the city, including the barrier technique that protects the city.

And now, the barrier that has kept out foreign enemies since its construction is about to be breached.

Something is coming. Something that is hostile to the people of Yggdra and me.

It isnt trying to use a gap in the spell, it isnt trying to disarm it and it isnt slipping through it like when Ruin came in. The Barrier that is activated by absorbing the power of the earths veins is pried open by force, and the countless interception techniques that are triggered in a chain to intercept it are being received head-on.

What exists there is an overwhelming power that can even destroy the world.

I can only think of one reason. My throat is dried up and parched. However, we cannot turn our eyes away from reality.

Im Im-possible. Even though the Treasure Shrine has collapsed, the god is still alive (Serene)
