I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 052
16. Encounter (2)
“Can you hear me?”
I tried to speak to him one last time before we started talking.
〈It’s hot… … .>
The World Tree, which could speak, unfortunately did not seem to be of sound mind.
Looking at his eyes that were spinning around, perhaps because of the heat, it seemed difficult to expect a normal conversation.
“If you can hear me… let’s untie the vines first and talk calmly. I really need that deer.”
〈Ugh, it’s hot. It’s hot… … .>
The world tree, which had been unable to control its body, began to whine once again.
When Serin discovered a sprout growing under her feet, she jumped backwards with all her might, and the place where she had been standing was instantly engulfed in vines.
‘Is this how the World Tree fights?’
It was an unbelievable sight to see a picture of a plant sprouting in the middle of a desert.
World tree.
The tree of the gods mentioned in numerous myths… If there were a world that was magnificent and splendid, it would be the largest tree in that world.
‘This may not be all, but if it’s a desert, I can’t win… … The girl looked at the vines surrounding the deer, or to be exact, the World Tree, and opened her eyes wide.
‘It’s possible to survive without dying.’
As the black magic that had been secretly prepared was activated while speaking, a black aura swirled around Serin’s body.
All you have to do is sneak up on the deer that’s guarding the bushes and run away.
If not for the win, it was a gamble worth taking, aided by the handicap of the venue.
‘The curse… doesn’t work?’
Serin muttered to herself as she sent the curse by wriggling her hands behind her back.
The World Tree’s vine armor, which ignored the evil waves, possessed enough magical power to easily ignore the curse it used.
‘If status effects or curses don’t work, there’s no choice but to burn it by unleashing destructive power.’
The girl, who was charging her magic power while narrowly avoiding the vines growing from under her feet, licked her lips.
[Hanserin’s demon ‘Nena’ is summoned.]
Hurrr!
Sparks flew into the air.
〈Did you call?〉
The half-demon, half-fairy summoner answered the call of the girl Han Seorin.
[Devil Fairy Nena]
[Level: 90]
The summoned beasts, each flapping their demon wings and fairy wings, looked in the direction Serin was looking at.
〈Oh… … .>
Nena, who seemed to have realized what kind of being the other person was, shook her body slightly and exchanged glances with her master.
That was enough.
Although the two people’s thoughts were not shared, they had built up teamwork to the point where they could exchange opinions with just a glance.
“Okay. Let’s give it a try.”
As Nena raised both her hands to her chest, purple flames appeared.
Flames of the Abyss.
This flame, which seemed to want to burn everything as soon as possible, was a guy with gravity that pulled at its surroundings.
‘Okay, let’s do this quickly.’
Serin also stretched out her right hand, which she had been hiding behind her back for the curse, and raised a green flame.
Hell’s candle.
It was a skill with power similar to the blue flame ‘Hellfire’, famous as the ultimate skill of wizards.
〈Let’s finish it in one go. If we get it right, I’ll get your attention.〉
You whispered so that only Serin could hear, and you were the first to throw away the sparks that were in your hand.
…Hwaeu II
As the sparks containing the suction power shot out like cannonballs, the sprouts that had bloomed between the sand grains of the desert were sucked in like a black hole.
‘Once in a while…
At the right time, Serin also threw the green flame that was stuck to her hand in that direction.
???Whoooooo!
Thanks to the gravity attached to the abyssal flame, even the hell candles that Serin threw without aim flew towards it on their own.
‘It’s one time.’
Serin, who witnessed the skill flying away, started running forward.
As soon as Serin’s green flames mixed with Nena’s purple flames, they became navy blue.
The storm of flames that had grown to several times its size in an instant shrank down to smaller and smaller… … .
‘Shield of Seven Evils!’
〈Black Shield!〉
As Serin and Nena’s defensive black magic was activated, a large-scale explosion occurred.
≪ =y W
Even though it was covered with two layers of defensive black magic that offset magic damage, it couldn’t help but stagger.
It was that powerful.
Even if it was the World Tree, if it suffered this much damage in a place like this, it was bound to have a crack.
‘Okay!’
In the gap of flames that filled her eyes, Serin confirmed that a small gap had appeared in the vines of the World Tree surrounding the deer. It was a small gap that would not cause any damage to the deer… but it was about the size of a hand span.
‘Got it!’

It wasn’t much of a problem for Serin, who managed to rush in front of the deer in an instant.
<… … ?!>
If only I could reach it, that would be enough.
As the deer wrapped in vines disappeared into the ground, the World Tree hidden between the vine armor let out a ‘gasp!’
???bump.
With the sound of the candle going out, Serin, who had touched the deer through the gap in her vine armor, was summoned to where she had just been standing.
‘Okay?’
Mark magic circle.
It was a movement skill of the wizards that allowed them to instantly move to a pre-marked location.
Seo Rin sighed as she moved backwards using the mark she had carved on the floor before summoning Nena.
“ha.”
“……91”
The deer that was suddenly teleported started to flailing around in surprise, but it didn’t last long.
“Sorry, just sleep for a bit.”
It was because the thin lightning bolt of the magic used by Serin stunned the deer.
〈This, this… It’s hot, really… It’s annoying… Hehehe…….> From inside the vine armor that had fallen onto the sandy floor with nothing covering it, a very angry voice was heard.
〈Bad person… bad devil… … .>
Nature, whose anger and annoyance had reached their limit, muttered as if she would explode at any moment.
〈I’m going to use it up as nutrients.〉
The thirst felt by plants was more terrible than that felt by humans, and the World Tree was unable to come to its senses.
〈Yeah… blood… blood is fine|〉
The three counts, noticing that the bad people and bad demons were not that far apart, slowly reached out their hands.
“Huh?!”
The sweet wind mixed with sand, and Serin, who had covered her face with her arms, shivered at the sound she felt from behind.
‘Woke up’?
The deer that had fainted a moment ago opened its eyes, perhaps because of the power of the World Tree.
At the same time, new buds began to sprout at the deer’s feet and began to entangle itself with its hooves.
〈That crazy… … .>
As the World Tree’s armor began to be put back on, Nena, who had been blankly staring at it, was startled.
〈Oh, what are you going to do?〉
This time, it seemed like it wasn’t just the armor, but rather thicker sprouts began to sprout and move here and there.
The sprouts grew in an instant and turned into tree roots the size of an adult, expanding their body size, as if they were living creatures.
???Wood crack!
It moved its thick brown body and rushed towards Serin.
[Cunning Trent]
[Level: XXX]
Serin’s eyes filled with shock as she looked at the wooden zombies rushing at her.
Not one, but five.
Five monstrous trials were created in an instant… I couldn’t close my mouth.
〈Wait a minute, I’ll get your attention…….>
Nena’s body, which had been hastily preparing her magic, staggered once due to the wind caused by the World Tree.
〈Huh? What is it? Your body?!〉
Perhaps because she was half demon and half fairy, Nena’s body was not moving the way she wanted it to.
〈Mom, my body won’t listen to me! Serin! I need to be summoned! I need to be summoned!〉
As her hand, prepared with black magic, reached out to her master, Nena shouted urgently.
“Huh?!”
Serin, who was swaying in the blowing wind, waved her right arm in the direction where Nena’s voice was coming from.
[Hanserin’s demon ‘Nena’ is summoned.]
Even though he managed to summon back the summoned being that was trying to attack its master, the situation was still heading towards the worst.
‘What should I do?’ The sand mixed with the blowing wind made it difficult to see, sprouts kept sprouting to try to tie my feet, and five tree zombies were closing in on me…
‘What should I do… …
The deer’s body was now covered in a denser vine armor than before.
〈Ugh, I’m thirsty!〉
The world tree, which had moved into a new vine armor, was panting like a puppy.
〈Eww, Pirado!!〉
The eyeballs of the World Tree sitting between the horns were spinning around, so it was obvious that it was not in its right mind.
‘Did I underestimate you?’
If the level of the trial was a question mark, I should have expected it to be around Eternal… It was a clear misjudgment.
‘But, without that deer, that person would never… …
Seorin, who had been hiding her face from the sandstorm, bit her lower lip as if she was going to cry. ‘I wanted to see you just once before I die… just once…
The moment he realized that the tree zombie was approaching him, and felt regretful that he was going to die here.
“…What are you doing?”
Somewhere unfamiliar.
No, a familiar voice.
No, the voice I miss.
“Hey, what are you Eternal?”
≪……2”
I heard.
〈Huh, huhhhhhh… … .>
Dribble, dribble, dribble.
I heard the sound of running water.
〈I, I think I’ll live… … 〉
What a powerful force the cool water pouring down over your head in the middle of the desert! The famous World Tree collapsed and came crashing down.
“??? Blue!”
The deer shook its head as if it was pleased with the water poured on the world tree between its horns.
“If you’re thirsty, why don’t you drink some of this guy’s urine? What are you doing?”
〈Ugh, I can’t tell someone who doesn’t want to piss to piss… … .>
“What? Aren’t you saying it’s dirty?”
〈It’s not hero urine, it’s deer urine… What could be so dirty?〉
“Hey. I’m not fighting.”
“I know. I know.”
“Ha, sir… …
As if it was difficult to refute, the boy who had sprinkled water on the World Tree shook his clenched fist.
‘Ah.’ The girl was blankly staring at the boy who was disintegrating the World Tree.
‘Is this a dream?’
It didn’t seem like a dream.
‘What are you saying?’
Yes, I wanted to meet you even in my dreams.
‘Uh, uh uh… …
There were so many things I wanted to say when we met, but I had a hard time getting the words out because my mind was blank from the heat.
Oh my… … .
While Serin’s lips were trembling, the boy who had been wrestling with the three counts turned to look this way.
“Long time no see… …
The boy’s voice suddenly stopped as he was about to raise his hand and say, “It’s been a while.”
It was because the girl, who had her eyes tightly shut because tears were falling, hugged the boy with all her might.
