<[Episode 23] Lilith (1)>
The suddenly summoned vassals looked around the forest with bewildered expressions.
He spoke to them.
“Everyone, please gather here.”
Hadonggun asked me.
“Jaehyun, what is going on?”
“I will explain it now.”
He continued speaking, making eye contact with the people he met.
“This is not Earth.”
The shocking words spread among the people, and Ha Dong-geon asked on their behalf.
“Are you inside a dungeon?”
“No. It’s hard to say exactly where this place is.”
To be honest, I didn’t even know where this was.
but.
“That’s not the point. You all know that my family is unconscious.”
The attendants nodded with hardened expressions.
He spoke to them with confidence.
“It seems like the spirits of my family are trapped somewhere in this forest.”
At my words, Ha Dong-geon’s expression became serious and he asked back.
“You’re trapped? Your family members have been kidnapped?”
“No, just a moment.”
It was difficult to explain the details.
Because my judgment was a combination of intuition and hypothesis.
‘Seeing is believing.’
Rather than explaining the situation in detail to the people, it would be better to show them directly how a person comes out of the hole.
At the moment when I was trying to find a person among the lumps hanging from the tree trunk using the Eye of the Absolute.
Woodduck
We were able to see a new mole growing in real time.
In it.
“hmm?”
A man with a familiar face was crouching.
‘Director Lee Seong-min?’
Lee Seong-min, who should be taking care of his family in the hospital room, showed up here.
‘What does that mean?’
It was clear that something had happened outside.
‘The infection has spread.’
It was clear that the light that had emerged from Grandma’s body a week ago and put the family to sleep was once again emanating from her.
‘The Eyes of the Absolute.’
I immediately checked the situation outside.
Even when entering another dimension, the skill worked without any problems.
As expected, the medical staff, including Director Lee Seong-min, were lying on the floor unconscious.
There was no one to take care of the family right away, but that didn’t really matter.
The real problem is.
…How far has it spread?’
The light that had once put the family to sleep was barely enough to cover one bedroom.
But the external situation seen through the eyes of the Absolute was much more serious than expected.
First of all, the entire hospital where the family was was at a standstill.
All over the hospital, people who had fallen asleep were breathing evenly.
Fortunately, no one was in critical condition, but it seemed like quick action was needed.
It seemed that not only those inside the hospital, but also those hundreds of meters away from the hospital were all affected.
[Ms. Dabin.]
As soon as I called, I immediately heard Kim Da-bin’s telepathy.
[Yes, Jaehyun.]
[Please block all traffic heading towards Nampo-dong immediately.]
[All right.]
The reason I didn’t ask Kim Da-bin to take care of the people who were sleeping was simple.
‘If this continues, it could expand into secondary and tertiary damage.’
A vicious cycle occurs where infections occur and continue to cause more patients.
For now, the best thing to do was to blockade the area where the main house was located as much as possible.
‘It’s best to quickly deal with the root cause of this situation.’
First, I continued to explain the current situation to the people who were there.
Using his invisible hand, he carefully removed the lump containing Director Lee Seong-min and brought it to the floor. As he tore it open, the figure of Director Lee Seong-min appeared along with a sticky liquid.
“!!”
“person?”
“Huh? That person…?”
There were several vassals who recognized Director Lee Seong-min, as he often fought battles while hunting monsters.
I bought a suitable gown at the store and covered the director’s body with it, then said.
“Ms. Dajeong. Could you please give the hospital director some heel?”

“yes.”
Kim Da-jeong was staying with the medical team including Director Lee Seong-min to treat her sleeping family members. It was pure luck that she did not fall asleep.
Perhaps I must have done the summoning before the light spread.
Woof-
Kim Da-jeong’s heel not only heals wounds, but also has the effect of improving abnormal conditions.
“Coolook! Whoosh! Whoaaeek!”
Director Lee Seong-min woke up after vomiting out a sticky liquid.
“Doctor. Are you awake?”
Director Lee Seong-min looked at me, his eyes became tearful, and he lowered his head toward me.
“Thank you, thank you!”
[Citizen Lee Seong-min’s trust level increases significantly.]
[Citizen Lee Seong-min’s loyalty increases significantly.]
At the same time.
[Citizen Lee Seong-min’s loyalty has reached 100.]
[Citizen Lee Seong-min is registered as a resident.]
[The limit on the number of items you can hold has increased.]
As Lee Seong-min’s loyalty reaches 100, he gains one more vassal.
‘Judging by the reaction, it’s clear that it’s the hospital director.’
Currently, in the hospital room of the outside world seen through the eyes of the Absolute Being, the body of Director Lee Seong-min, who had lost consciousness, was breathing.
‘Even if I’m saved from there, can’t I return to my original world?’
This meant that even if they saved their families in this way, they would not return to their original world.
‘What would happen if I used Dongdaemun in this state to return to my original world?’
There is no telling whether his spirit will return to his body or whether things will go wrong.
I asked Lee Seong-min, who was expressing his gratitude to me with tears streaming down his face.
“What happened outside?”
“That was… a flash of light, and when I came to my senses, I was trapped inside.”
“I see. I understand.”
I bought a suitable piece of clothing, placed it next to him, and began explaining again.
“As you can see, those trees are kind of cannibalistic. They suck the life out of people through these galls that hang from the trunk.”
The expressions of the servants who heard those words suddenly darkened.
“Then all the trees here…?”
“her…”
He spoke to them in shock.
“Please prioritize saving the people inside. I ask that Yoo Han-gil take command.”
Yoo Han-gil, who had been quietly listening to my story until then, looked embarrassed and pointed at his face.
“Yes? Me, me? Me?”
“Yes. More than half of those are empty shells. We will need Mr. Yoo Han-gil’s skills to be effective.”
In the current situation, Yoo Han-gil’s clairvoyance ability will show better efficiency than the Absolute’s eyes.
Because the eyes of the Absolute were limited in scope.
“Yes, I will work hard!”
“i look forward to.”
So far, I have never encountered any other beings in this forest.
Even if monsters or something like that appear, the strength of the vassals will be more than enough to handle them.
After leaving the situation to Yoo Han-gil, I called Kim Geon separately.
“Can you carry me and fly into the sky?”
“…Of course.”
I rode on Kim Geon’s back and flew towards the center of the forest where there was a giant tree.
Since it was moving by flying in the sky, it was certain that it would arrive quickly.
‘Over there.’
When using the Absolute’s eyes, it was clearly visible. A transparent vortex of energy was gathering at the center of the tree.
“Please drop me off over there.”
Near the place where the transparent energy was gathering, there was a fairly large hole.
It seemed as if he was blatantly telling me to come in through here.
After getting off there, he spoke to Kim Gun.
“Thank you for giving me a ride. Now, Mr. Kim Gun, please join the exploration operation.”
“I will join you. You will need me when you return.”
I thought about it for a moment.
‘Is it okay?’
The reason they didn’t come rushing in with their men was because this place was so dangerous.
There may also be a danger of a different level from that of Jinjo’s time.
In Jinjo’s case, he was able to control the red energy, but the owner of the power existed separately.
It was in the same context as Ha Dong-geon being able to use black energy.
‘But the one inside here is real.’
In this huge forest, the air was filled with a transparent energy.
So, within this, there will exist a master of transparent energy with divine nature.
“It’s dangerous.”
He spoke to Kim Geon.
“Then please wait here.”
“…All right.”
I left him waiting at the entrance and then walked inside the cave.
It was already getting dark, so the surroundings quickly became dark.
However, for me, who could perfectly perceive the surrounding space through the eyes of the Absolute, the blockage of my vision was not a big problem.
The cave carved into the giant tree was longer than expected.
‘The further you go inside, the stronger the energy becomes.’
Dismissal-
The roughly flowing, transparent energy collided with the boundary of my domain, causing fine sparks to fly.
Just looking at its current appearance, it was difficult to imagine that it was like an insect that parasitized the World Tree and sucked its life force.
Phagec!
Eventually, my territory began to shrink little by little.
The energy is being eroded due to the struggle with the transparent energy swirling wildly in the center.
‘It won’t work.’
If this continues, I will exhaust my strength before I can even face the owner of the transparent energy.
That couldn’t be possible.
I stopped for a moment and focused all my attention on the area.
Woohoo!
Then, the area that had been spread out in all directions began to shrink little by little.
This time, it wasn’t about losing territory by exhausting strength.
I was consciously compressing my power to reduce the range of the area.
The power, which had become denser as it was compressed, could no longer be cut down by the surrounding transparent energy.
“Okay.”
As the area shrank, the range in which the Absolute’s Eye could be used also shrank, but there was no problem walking around while perceiving the surrounding terrain.
When you succeed in gathering your strength like that.
Again-
Someone was approaching from inside the cave.
Crack, crack
In response to an approaching being making the sound of heels.
Woohoo!
I activated my self-defense weapon.
Skills learned from dad.
The blue aura surrounding his entire body dispelled the surrounding darkness and illuminated the figure approaching from inside the cave.
There stood a woman with a captivating appearance.
She wore a skin-tight leather outfit with high heels and a pair of wings folded behind her back.
A woman with dreamy eyes that seemed to be looking into the distance slowly opened her mouth.
“excuse me..”
A languid voice whispered in my ear.
“What are you?”
He answered him.
“I want to ask you this. Who are you to harm my family?”
“family…?”
“You took my family’s minds hostage in the process of stealing the life force of the World Tree. That’s why I came here in person.”
“Come find me…?”
At that moment, the woman’s eyes, which had seemed bored, sparkled slightly.
“You… weren’t invited, were you?”
“Yes.”
At that moment, a transparent energy began to stir around her.
I said this, trying to remain as calm as possible.
“Please release my family and my people. If you do that, I will step down from here.”
By now she must have sensed the energy surrounding me.
‘There is no need to fight.’
I thought that if they realized that there would be bloodshed if they fought, the other side would come out peacefully.
If only I could save my people, that was enough.
however.
“Why me..?”
It seemed like the woman had no such intention.
Her eyes were curved like crescent moons.
Her face, which had seemed emotionless and free, turned slightly red and flushed.
“Why should I let you go when you came into my territory on your own two feet?”
Her tongue licked her upper lip.
At the same time.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Kaaaak!”
The shadows around me rose and fell upon me.
