Chapter 537

ED:
Browless with [Rapid Fire]. [Rapid Fire] is done with the feet, said the NPC, wondering what kind of movement it would show.
Oh right, we were talking about danger detection earlier.
Yes.
Kidd opened his skill window and read again what he had acquired.
The passive skill Danger Detection was different in nature from the skills he had used so far.
When I dodged Browns attack ten times in a row, I got this skill along with an achievement. But just from this description Is this really what I think it is?
While Kidd was pondering, looking again at his skill window and achievements, Browless stood up.
Lets go.
Where to, sir?
If were going to see Brown, Ill need your guidance. It wouldnt do any good to take you without any preparation. Especially now that youve just learned about Danger Detection, it wont be enough.
Browlesss words quickly eased Kidds bewildered expression.
Does that mean-
Well leave as soon as the special training is over.
Understood, Headmaster!
Kidd grasped Crimson Geckos firmly.
It lacked impressive range or explosive penetration, but the reason it could compete with [Rapid Fire] was precisely this the existence of a teacher who could pass on direct knowledge was a tremendous merit.
Good. This puts me one step ahead again.
Even Browless alone might show equal skills to Brown. If he himself could achieve significant growth in that situation?
I can catch Matans Shooter. If I can block him from using Matan,
its possible.
And he would become the successor to Matans Shooter!
Plans rapidly formed in Kidds mind.
The only problem was if Luger and Leeha decided to interfere(?). He opened his friends window to check their locations.
Damn, Luger Still cant forgive yourself, huh? Staying in the hunting grounds ever since that day.
After returning from death, Luger had been pouring everything into leveling and skill development, focused solely on hunting.
What did it mean for someone nicknamed a war fanatic and mercenary to be hunting away from other users?
When he returned again, he would surely show growth, but Kidd was confident. He would be one step ahead.
And Leeha, who logged in after a long time Hmm? [Forest of the World Tree]? Theres such a place in the New Continent
Kidds smile, which was about to reach his ears, was stopped by Leeha, as usual.
Kidd had thought that Leeha, upon returning to Middle Earth, would first visit [The Blooming Barren Land].
So he doesnt plan to clarify the misunderstanding that hes Matans Shooter. Well, thinking about him is a job in itself. I know predictions are pointless with you.
Kidd chuckled and followed Browless out.
What Luger or Leeha were doing wasnt important now.
In the academys training field, a low-level musketeer user was practicing.
Kidd glanced at him, fiddling with black powder, for less than a second.
Where are you looking.
At that moment, Browlesss hand, which had nothing before, now held a revolver. No, he was pulling the trigger.
Tadaaaa C]-!
Ugh, what to do. What should I do.
At that time, Leeha was wandering around the edge where the spirits reacted, looking restless like a dog that needs to go out.
Halihali-nim definitely has affinity with all spirits, right?
I do! Ive told you several times already.
Thats strange Then the spirits shouldnt be reacting like this.
Thats why Ive been thinking sigh, never mind that. But why are they so hostile towards Blaugrun-ssi?
I dont know either. Maybe its because I belong to the Metal clan, Blaugrun said, sitting on a small rock, swinging his legs leisurely and speaking in a relaxed manner. Well, am I the only one in a hurry? Ugh, if I cant get the World Trees fruit this time, the essence of the world will vanish.
It will take over six months to retrieve the essence of the world again. And thats only possible if the Sea God and Drake are as cooperative as they were this time. Who knows what kind of high-difficulty quest they will assign then?
I must do it now. Theres no next time in Middle Earth; if you cant do it when you can, its over.
This means the opportunity to evolve Blaugrun to an Adult class becomes significantly distant!
Knowing this made him even more urgent.
If you have affinity with spirits, they usually dont attack, right?
Even without affinity, they dont attack. Spirits are different from monsters. Theyre just more indifferent.
But why are they attacking now?
If I knew that, I wouldnt be sitting here, Halihali-nim.
Hearing Blaugruns words, Leeha barely swallowed his frustration.
Even after a long absence, there was something annoyingly familiar about him. Perhaps he was still seeking revenge for being left to struggle alone.
Its strange. Whether I go in, or Blaugrun-ssi goes in, the spirits attack us. Like mages automatic guardians or summoned creatures.
Leeha had tamed Puels and had seen Jjatchang.
If he ordered Puels to attack all living beings within a certain range, Puels would react just like the spirits now.
This made sense from a system perspective.
But what are spirits?
They are not guardians, summoned creatures, or pets, but sentient beings, which makes it nonsensical.
Neither users nor dragons can enter The reacting spirits are of the Earth and Wind. Speaking of which, do they not fight each other? Maybe spirits dont take defensive stances against each other? But if they give quests, there must be a way-
As Leeha sighed, his eyes caught sight of the vest he was wearing.
It was a regular vest in color and material.
But what was its true nature? Leehas eyes widened.
Blaugrun-ssi.
Yes?
The spirits reacting inside are of the Earth and Wind, right?
Yes. But I dont understand why youre asking that again-
No, listen. When we were getting the essence of the world. Do you remember what the Sea God said?
Of course. He said a lot, which part specifically? I can answer everything-
Kekeke.
Seeing Blaugruns confident expression, Leeha laughed. He wasnt asking because he didnt know.
Jellypong! Battle mode: Agility!
[Mongmongmong?!]
Jellypong, surprised by the sudden command, nevertheless didnt hesitate to react.
What was a part of Leehas vest now revealed its form in front of him, transforming into battle mode.
Hehe, Jellypong?
[Mong! Mong!]
Jellypong raised one arm in a salute to Leeha. Leeha smiled at Jellypongs gesture.
Go.
[Mong?]
Go, I said. Over there.
[Mongmong?]
Jellypong looked hesitant at least thats how it appeared to Leeha pointing towards the World Tree.
It seemed to be asking if the command Leeha gave was accurate.
Ha, Halihali-nim? You dont mean to send Jellypong in alone?
Blaugrun was just as perplexed.
But Leeha was resolute. Though Blaugruns question was clearly intended to dissuade him, Leeha didnt even look his way.
Hurry up, will you? You have plenty of strength anyway. Dont worry and go!
[Mong.. Mong.]
Jellypong eventually started walking towards the World Tree.
Blaugrun, who had been sitting on the rock, suddenly stood up and rushed over to Leeha.
Its good to try different approaches, but it would be better if you shared your intentions with me, your partner. After Jellypong wakes the spirit guardians, Ill be the one to retrieve the item-
No. Just wait and see.
Leeha calmed the excited Blaugrun and watched Jellypong.
Despite being a dragon who acts as if he knows everything, there is a difference between having knowledge and applying it as wisdom in real life.
Leeha thought as he watched Jellypong walk slowly.
After Bahamut stole the essence of the world, the Sea God tried to go after him. Whether it was to argue or fight, I dont know, but he tried. But then, there were beings that stopped the Sea God.
Leeha remembered their names. Sylphid and Noahs.
The King of Wind Spirits and the King of Earth Spirits.
The Sea God was also tied up with Elaim, the King of Water Spirits.
Only about 3m left for Jellypong to enter the boundary where the spirits react!
Jellypong glanced back at Leeha once more, but Leeha just nodded slightly.
Beside him, Blaugrun looked anxiously back and forth between Leeha and Jellypong.
Right. Its clear. Thats why Sylphid and Noahs stopped the Sea God.
The growth accelerator required the essence of the world and the fruit of the World Tree.
If we consider that, the Wind and Earth Spirits guarding the World Tree right now are in a kind of symbiotic relationship.
And if we just consider their situation
[Mew, mongmong!]
Jellypong abruptly drew in its feet.
The vibration started immediately.
Even if Jellypong is strong, you shouldnt be provoking a fight like this. Dont you know its not something to be done?
Rocks rose with the vibration of the ground.
The branches of the World Tree quivered, and the Wind Spirits emerged.
Battle Mode: Agility
In this state, health might drop slightly, but the attack power is extremely strong.
However, the number of spirits is not something that can be fought.
Blaugrun glanced at Leeha and cautiously began to use magic, but Leeha grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
Wait. Just watch.
But its dangerous-
No.
Leeha focused his eyes on Jellypong. One of Jellypongs arms had transformed into a sharp blade.
[Mew, mongmoooooo
]
Its not dangerous. Jellypong! Dont attack!
Leeha yelled at Jellypong.
Jellypong, having its own consciousness but absolute obedience to Leehas commands, reverted its arms back to their original state.
Even as the Wind and Earth Spirits rushed at Jellypong, Leehas thoughts didnt stop.
Its clear. Its right. Considering the situation they were in, Jellypong cant be attacked! Why?!
Because the Sea God, Elaim, the King of Water Spirits, was also on the same side as the Wind and Earth Spirits.
This is unbelievable. That is
Just sometimes, its good to trust the words of a senior in life, Blaugrun-ssi.
Me, a senior in life?! If we talk about age-
Thats dragon life. Human life, human.
Leeha drew the character in the air with his finger, laughing.
Blaugrun, puffing his cheeks, turned his head, but he had nothing to argue.
The Wind and Earth Spirits were about to pounce on Jellypong when two new life forms appeared in front of it.
Ah, but what are those?
Those are top-grade Earth and Wind Spirits. They may not know much about life due to their short time polymorphed as humans, but in terms of knowledge about Middle Earth- Please, listen to me until the end!
Blaugrun tried to assert himself, but Leeha was already walking towards Jellypong, forcing Blaugrun to quickly follow.
Leehas prediction was accurate.
