Chapter 528

"A Special Management Target…?" JiHan asked.

"It’s the first time someone's compatibility increased during a detailed inspection."

"M-my compatibility increased?"

"Yes. Come to the Governor-General's office on the 1st of every month," the high priestess said, pointing toward Kim JiHun's chest.

Flash—!

A green light extended and entered his body.

[The World Tree's Seal is being engraved.]

"This…"

"It's a 'blessing' given to those under special management. Although you'll be bedridden for a few days, bear with it."

"U-understood"!

"See you on the 1st of next month." With that, the high priestess disappeared. As she vanished, a green light seeped out from JiHun's chest.

"Ugh… I feel dizzy." He slumped. As if carrying out the warning of being bedridden for days, his body wouldn't obey.

JiHun staggered and collapsed on the spot.

"A-are you okay?" HaYeon and her group, having been waiting, rushed out of the car to support him.

"I'll rest for a bit…" Even though JiHun had become a half-elf in body, the overwhelming fatigue was hard to handle.

JiHan decided to let the shell rest rather than resist. Thus, JiHun fell asleep instantly.

"What happened…?"

"Earlier, the elf priestess said he's a special management target."

"Did something come up during the detailed inspection?"

"It seems so…"

"Let's drive slowly for now."

HaYeon and Im GaYeong exchanged words while checking his condition.

'The World Tree’s seal… It's still being engraved on my chest, so its effects aren't visible yet… It will take a few days to complete.'

The faint green light seeping out from his chest was slowly engraving the World Tree's seal onto JiHun's body. His condition would probably remain like that until it was completed.

'I should take this chance to attack them.'

The 'Kim JiHun' made of Phantom Flame could exist separately. Of course, if JiHan left, it would just be a lifeless doll, but since the World Tree’s seal had been implanted and he had fallen asleep, it would be fine to leave him lying in the room.

"We've arrived, Mr. Kim."

"Ugh…"

"Are you feeling okay? Let us help you get back to your house."

"Thanks…" The two supported him back to where he was staying.

'Ah… this is where Sofia used to live.' HaYeon was slightly surprised upon entering. 'Did it come up for rent…? Well, I guess Sofia won't be coming back to Korea.'

She lay JiHun on the bed. "Mr. Kim, I've written down my number, so please call me if anything happens."

"Yes… thanks a lot…" JiHun murmured before he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

"What did the elf do to make a half-elf like this?"

"From what I heard, it's a blessing."

"GaYeong, you can hear everything from afar. You're lucky."

"Well, I'm on the national team."

"Must be nice. Anyway, let's go."

HaYeon and GaYeong left the house.

'Is it time for me to act?' A blue mist briefly rose from JiHun; he lost even more strength, and JiHan floated above the body.

'I should start from here.' He chose one of the planetary coordinates that he’d seen in the Community. 'I can use the Sword Commanding Heart to move, but…'

The Sword Commanding Heart allowed him to leap through space with a sword, but there was a chance he would leave traces.

He needed to act as stealthily as possible.

'I'll have to use Red. For now, I'll open a portal.' 

The Red Administrator, who boasted about his power being good at everything except fighting, was indeed useful for daily life.

Bzz—

Electricity sparked, and a small red portal appeared.

JiHan immediately crossed the portal.

'I came to the right place.'

In the middle of space, a planet spread out underneath him.

The World Tree Alliance planet below him was smaller than Earth but still too large for a single individual to handle.

'Well, my target is the World Tree.' In such cases, having a clear target was good. JiHan looked around the planet. 'The World Tree is over there…' He went straight to where he could feel the most Life Energy.

JiHan, breaking through the atmosphere in an instant, landed.

'It's about a fifth the size of the World Tree in Namsan.' He stood before the World Tree, looking relaxed.

It was certainly a tree of overwhelming size, but compared to the Governor-General's office in Namsan, the planet's World Tree lacked in size and Life Energy.

It was clear how much effort the World Tree Alliance was putting into Earth.

"How were the Bronze League species this time?"

"They were nothing special. We just followed the manual and executed them."

"'Humanity' was certainly a unique case." Elves with identical faces gathered and discussed the Space League games within the Bronze League.

'This planet is in the Bronze League, seeing how they're talking about player executions.'

The method they tried to use on humans before but failed was still being used elsewhere.

"That unique race… Yggdrasil designated them as a colony, right?"

"I wanted to be dispatched there… but too many of my seniors applied, so I was rejected."

"How enviable. They're going to be able to deal with the humans who brought shame to the Alliance."

"When exterminating humanity, they might recruit an annihilation squad. If so, you apply again, I'm sure you'd pass."

The elves chatted cheerfully about exterminating humanity. Some of them glanced toward where JiHan was, but none noticed his presence—the spatial dominance of Blue combined with Martial Soul was overwhelmingly powerful, so when JiHan decided to hide himself, neither the elves nor the World Tree could perceive him.

'If even the elves here talk like that, then humanity's extermination has been decided for when Blue is extracted.'

If that were the case, then he had no reason to hesitate in cutting down the World Tree.

'Shall I proceed?' JiHan began expanding Blue's Absolute Domain. Until the area within several kilometers of the World Tree was completely under his control, none of the elves sensed that something had changed.

'First, I'll clean things up.' JiHan lightly tapped the ground.

BOOM—!

The ground shook slightly, and the elves near the World Tree exploded all at once without even knowing what happened, their bodies torn to pieces and burned until not a trace was left behind.

Only a single tap on the ground had been enough to wipe them all out.

JiHan then turned his gaze to the World Tree. 'I guess I shouldn't destroy this with Blue.' His Blue and Red sword rose in the air. He then stuck it into the World Tree. 'Since it's the first time, I'll just open a small gap.'

He slightly loosened the seal on the sword, and a tiny part of the blue rim on the edge of the sword flashed red.

Swoosh—!

The massive World Tree was instantly sucked into the sword.

[The 'D-rank World Tree' has been absorbed into the netherworld.]

[Due to Blue, the absorption efficiency has been greatly reduced.]

 [Red has increased by 200.]

A red message window popped up before JiHan.

'Just opening a bit of the seal increased the stat by 200?'

That small loosening of the seal was enough to absorb the World Tree. If the target's rank was higher or if the seal on the sword had loosened more, it would have instantly reached the set limit of 700.

'I need to control this better and should reduce it further.'

JiHan sealed the sword again and looked around at the area around him after having annihilated the elves and absorbing the World Tree.

'Thanks to the sword cleanly absorbing the World Tree, I didn’t leave any traces behind.'

That was a perfect crime, right?

'Should I visit a few more places?'

A red portal opened in the air, and JiHan moved towards the next World Tree elf planet.

The 4th World Tree Alliance's planet was somewhat different from the previous one. High elves with some green hair stood near the World Tree.

'The World Tree here is quite large… About half the size of the Governor-General's office.' Being impressively large, he thought it might offer some resistance, unlike the other planets.

When Blue's Absolute domain expanded, the elves, just like before, didn't notice anything.

'Even high elves can be handled with Blue's Absolute Domain.'

JiHan lightly tapped his foot on the ground.

"Hmm…?" Some high elves finally sensed something was wrong.

However, without having any chance to resist, the elves around them started to explode.

"Ugh…?"

"What's going on…?!"

Some high elves quickly regenerated their bodies, trying to survive, but when their severed body parts began to burn, their healing stopped.

'Oh, my…'

They were too easy to deal with. Cleaning up the surroundings, JiHan approached the World Tree and stabbed the Blue and Red sword into it.

[The 'B-rank' World Tree has been absorbed into the netherworld.]

[Due to Blue, the absorption efficiency has been greatly reduced.]

[Red has increased by 250.]

The massive World Tree was sucked into the sword, and a red message window appeared before him.

Even though the seal on his sword was loosened more finely than before, his stat increased even more.

'It was B-rank. No wonder the World Tree was larger.' Although it wasn't as big as the one in Namsan, compared to the D-rank one, it had much stronger Life Energy.

No wonder there were more high elves and they regenerated after exploding. If he went for one that had a higher ranking, the opponents might offer some resistance.

"Shall I look for an A-rank World Tree…?"

The planet was devastated with just the Blue's Absolute Domain. With no proper battles taking place, JiHan felt a bit unsatisfied.

Although he needed to act stealthily, it was too easy.

"Hmm… let's see." JiHan looked at the coordinates he'd picked from the Battle Net Community.

Flash—!

A red light flashed from within his sword.

“Blue Administrator, I recommend stopping here for today.” At the center, a red eye appeared. “If you absorb more Red, the seal on the sword could permanently loosen and break.” The red eye stared atJiHan.

Of course, JiHan knew who it was all too well. "Red Administrator, wouldn't that be good for you?"

“No,” the eye responded. “I prefer to be here.”
