The Great Ancient Wizard finds a DoYoSe and Shells (3)

  Both the Middle Earth dragons and the Spirit Realm dragons had fought fair and square. Still, if one were asked to choose which of them were more like bastards, they would choose the dragons of the Spirit Realm. The Middle Earth dragons have initially been living here, but the Spirit Realm dragons were blind tyrants who invaded other people’s land. However, their ability was also particular as they were so free-spirited, and it was confirmed that their power was more dominant than the Middle Earth dragons’.

  “There are only two dragons of the Spirit Realm that have died, while those of Middle Earth have lost five.”


  Evan clicked his tongue at the clear power difference. Of course, the players who enjoyed Yo-Ma Great War Zero said, “What if the dragons of the Spirit Realm had reached an agreement with the Demon Tribes and set out to wipe out the dragons of Middle Earth themselves?” Yeo Ban-Min argued that dragons in the Spirit Realm were much more potent than dragons in Middle Earth, but he didn’t expect it to be proved this way.

  “And the dragons of the Spirit Realm don’t die beautifully. It’s annoying because they’re trying to blow themselves up.”


  If Evan hadn’t previously caught the dragon of the Spirit Realm, the moment one of the Spirit Realm’s dragons died, the hallucination spell would have flown away. Evan belatedly recalled the fact and succeeded in capturing dragons from a long distance by using his Annihilation power and killing them before they blew themselves up with magic shots from the little witches. As a result, the dragons of the Spirit Realm were neatly hunted, the hallucination magic was maintained, and the dragons still failed to grasp the situation and continued the Fireworks Show.

  “Certainly, the changes that are happening in our body are intense…!”


  “Ah, uh.”


  After the second dragon hunt, the witch sisters underwent another significant change. However, not as much as the first time, the magical power in their bodies was amplified by a hundred times more than when they first arrived on the battlefield. Maybe even if they fought with Sherden’s witches, they would win. The dragon’s experience was enormous.

  “Will you be able to continue?”


  “I can do it all day long!”


  “No, not all day.”


  If you level up too much, it would be hard on your body. It was already calming down what had to be forced with the potions created by Evan’s mastery. Perhaps the real aftermath would come once the battle was entirely over. That means even the changes that have happened to them now weren’t complete. The magic would be amplified there, and if they don’t hold on to it, their bodies might be destroyed.

  ‘I’ve calculated this and prepared it in advance.’


  It was a hot spring where Evan’s potions were released. He was also planning to add phoenix feathers, so if they stayed up all night in it, it could bring out the best level-up effect without any side effects. Evan had a secret expectation that the magic skills used today would also increase significantly in the process.

  “How many dragons are left, Fayna?”


  [A total of 55 dragons from both sides. Now that nine of them are dead; there are 46 left.]

  “Well, in my calculation, if one person monopolizes the experience of twelve dragons, they can achieve level 150…”


  From level 150, hunting dragons didn’t increase much, so no matter how many people drove them, the efficiency wasn’t excellent. Therefore, you could guess how significant the 186 levels he achieved in his previous life were while playing Yo-Ma Great War Zero was.

  “Moreover, it was a Middle Earth dragon, and the Spirit Realm dragons seem to come with bonus experience, so once you catch eleven each or thirty-three in total, you guys can go back and soak yourself in the hot spring. Think of it as spending your day in a hot spring spa.”


  He could let them hunt more dragons at the risk of losing experience, but maybe that was their limit physically. The little witches also nodded obediently at Evan’s thoroughly calculated remarks.

  “Alright, god.”


  “After today, can I actively help god Oppa?”


  “Yes, Arpa.”


  “…I’ll work hard, I’ll be ready.”


  Then the question was who to give the remaining experience to. Should he strengthen the elves that could still be used as electricity? No, but they weren’t the ace in the hole. So, Mirole? Of course, he was determined to give Mirole some experience points. Still, Mirole wouldn’t grow much just by catching a few dragons. This was because she had already eaten a tremendous amount of experience in the Demon Realm. Lian…was a non-discussion. Then what about Leo and Aria? Wouldn’t they be pretty good?

  [What are you thinking about? Can’t Zero just get the experience?]

  “Oh, I don’t think catching a few dragons will raise my standards anymore.”


  […]

  Evan ignored the amazed Fayna and thought again and again. In the meantime, dragons were falling one by one, and the little witches were now able to shoot their magic and organize the dragons without being asked to.

  “Maybell for a change? No, it won’t mean much…so, it’s Cattleya? No, no matter how hard you say, it’s a waste of experience to give to a kid who hasn’t even learned how to fight yet…”


  How many humans would he instead pick, drive up their experience, and give them the chance to stab the Devil? Instead, it would be better to pick an elf.

  “…Ah.”


  That was when a good idea came to mind. Evan himself admired the thought that flashed through his mind. Yeah, there was a way. Yo-Ma Great War Zero’s most famous entertainment play. That was growing the Mother Tree!

  “All right, it’s possible. I’m sure it’ll be able to.”


  Evan picked up a communicator and sent a personal communication to Mirole. Listening to what he said, Mirole responded as if it was unbelievable, but she spoke privately with the Mother Tree and returned to answer.

  [Mother says thank you…?]

  “Yeah, I knew it. Then tell her to catch the right timing.”


  [Uh, okay…?]

  When Evan looked up after the communication, the number of dragons in the sky had already plummeted to 30. Eighteen Middle Earth dragons shot down, and seven of the Spirit Realm dragons. However, since the dragon side of the Spirit Realm was small in the first place, the current confrontation was 19 to 19.

  “The dragons of the Spirit Realm will win without a hitch.”


  [But they don’t seem to be aware of the fact that they’re caught up in the heat of the battlefield.]

  “You’ll be in trouble if they realize it. We stole all the bodies.”


  Moreover, it was customary to know the existence of experience when you were a dragon. If they had been sane, they should have recalled the question by now, “Why didn’t my level grow when so many dragons died?”


  “One more dragon of the Spirit Realm, followed by another dragon of the Middle Earth.”


  Three more crashed in an instant. Each of the three sisters finished the dragon by firing a spell. Now they knew how to finish it neatly without Evan leading them or having to hold it down with Annihilation. In particular, Sharay’s magic, which prevented the self-destruction of the dragon of the Spirit Realm and had cut off its breath, was so clean that one could think she had been training for decades.

  “How the hell?”


  “Uhm, while observing the magic of dragons, I came to a little enlightenment…”


  Sharay answered Evan’s questions shyly. Evan realized that the origin of the witch was different, no matter what. This one was no ordinary genius.

  “God Oppa, me too! I could use something like that!”


  “Arpa, don’t make so much noise…God Oppa knows it.”


  When the dragon of the Spirit Realm fell further, Arpa proved her ability by using magic similar to Sharay’s. Arpa was about the same age as Sharay, and their magic was quite similar. Of course, Naz wasn’t behind her two older sisters. She was firm with fast-paced magic.

  “There are four left….”


  “Three Middle Earth dragons.”


  “I’ll wrap it up from here.”


  In an instant, three of the dragons died, and their bodies were sent back to the World Tree’s forest. At that time, an additional dragon of the Spirit Realm died, and Naz took its breath away with the magic she fired with the help of her sisters.

  “Hooo, whewww…”


  “Everyone did a great job. As I told you, as soon as you go back, soak yourself in the hot spring, I prepared. Put this in the water.”


  “Alright, god…! I’ll be washing up.”


  “Thanks for the opportunity, god Oppa. I’ll make sure to pay you back!”


  “Thank you.”


  The three little witches who ate up the experience of 33 dragons went back into the Necklace World. Maybe when they come out again, a lot would be changed.

  “Well then, it’s just the beginning.”


  Fourteen Middle Earth Dragons, Eight Spirit Realm Dragons. Evan was going to turn them all into food.

  [The World Tree kills monsters?]

  “Does Fayna realize that the World Tree is like a living demigod?”


  [Yes, because the Tree of Life is a creature rooted in the earth, it can be said that it’s related to the great Mother Earth. I’m aware of it to a certain extent.]

  “The World Tree is like a half-body, but incomplete. Plus, in Yo-Ma Great War Zero’s point of view…well, at this point, a series of monsters, Demons, and other tribes caused it to hurt a lot.”


  It was hard to see in the beginning. On the surface, the World Tree was just a beautiful and huge tree that reached the end of the sky. However, as the game progressed, you would realize how much effort the World Tree had taken to protect her children, the fairies. How seriously the roots were rotting away.

  In the second half of the game, the World Tree collapsed. The Ancient Great Wizard, who defeated many outside forces seeking world domination and had led the Allies to victory, takes Mirole and only a few of his colleagues to fight the Devil…


  However, there was a theory based on this part. If the World Tree was protecting the elves by directly breaking the rules, it was hypothesized that the World Tree also had a level. There was even a way to raise the level of the World Tree! Initially, if a person were up to some nonsense in the field of the World Tree, the World Tree would use various spirits to warn them, and if they ignored the request, she would exercise her skills.

  And those who were killed by the World Tree would give it experience! Of course, in this way, it was meaningless because the power of the World Tree drained faster than experience gained. Therefore, the connoisseurs used a method of pre-reactionary injection to induce action or trap them into moribund conditions to fight the World Tree. If they did that thousands of times, tens of thousands of times…what a surprise.

  The magic of the World Tree, which seemed to be a semi-permanent injury, had recovered with the level up, and the World Tree that was supposed to disappear in the second half didn’t disappear and entered the final match! That’s why a certain connoisseur led the Allies under the protection of the World Tree, safely wiped out the demons, gave their ‘nutrients to the World Tree, and then went off to fight the Devil!

  …There was nothing to hide; that fanatic was Yeo Ban-Min from his previous life.

  ‘There was a reason why I was able to clear Yo-Ma Great War Zero faster than other fanatics.’


  After clearing Yo-Ma Great War Zero, the bulletin board immediately burned up when the announcement was made public. Countless players asked the production team if the World Tree’s level-ups were a bug, and the production team replied, “It’s also the joy of the game,” as always. They were always an annoying production crew, but Evan remembered liking the response.

  However, he couldn’t believe there was a moment when he could see it in real life!

  “Now, feed the World Tree…no, we’re operating to grow the World Tree.”


  [You make me confused whether you are genuinely profane or faithful.]

  Fayna shook her head in amazement. But for the rest of the day, she still didn’t realize that she was infatuated with him.
