Chapter 538
Whoosh...!
As soon as Seong Jihan landed on the planet, the ground instantly burst into flames.
[Evolution process initiated]
System messages appeared around him, and water droplets began forming in the air, but,
'That's not enough.'
Seong Jihan decided that if he was going to do this, he might as well become a proper arsonist.
Red Authority
Total Annihilation
Hiss...
Red eyes began appearing one by one over Seong Jihan's flame-engulfed body.
Just as red light flashed from them,
Total Annihilation started pouring out in all directions.
Then,
Boom...!
The summoned water for firefighting and the planet's entire defense system were instantly annihilated.
[You certainly use power more efficiently than I do.]
"Your method is too wasteful."
Step. Step.
Seong Jihan replied to the Red Administrator like that as he approached the distant World Tree.
A World Tree similar in size to the one on Namsan.
The life force contained within it seemed about the same too.
'Is Namsan S-rank too? That works out well.'
This would make good practice before destroying Namsan's World Tree.
As Seong Jihan took steps, flames blazed in all directions.
The lush forest was instantly turning into a fiery hell.
However,
'The World Tree's own power is not to be underestimated.'
Even as the defense system collapsed due to Total Annihilation,
The World Tree was withstanding the red's power with just its inherent life force.
It must be this level to receive such a high rank.
'Let's focus the firepower.'
The red eyes that had appeared all over his body began disappearing one by one,
As that power started concentrating in one place.
Then,
Dozens of layers of barriers activated in front of the World Tree.
[Energy reaction, 'Highest Constellation' or above]
[Alert level raised to 'Special']
[Council of Elders emergency summon]
[Alliance Defense Corps emergency summon]
Numerous system messages appeared above.
At the same time, green portals began appearing one by one near the World Tree.
The Council of Elders and Defense Corps were already being summoned?
'As expected of an S-rank World Tree, the defense posture is clearly different.'
It hadn't even been a minute since landing,
But the other side's response was incredibly quick.
Still, it seemed the Defense Corps and Council of Elders couldn't arrive immediately.
The portals were open, but reinforcements hadn't arrived yet.
"They're late."
Seong Jihan leisurely crossed his arms as he watched.
In front of him,
A massive red eye had formed and was about to shoot out red light.
Total Annihilation with power concentrated in one place.
And intense energy was swirling within it.
[Aren't you going to fire? This much should destroy the World Tree in one go.]
"We have to wait for the reinforcements."
Since it has come to this, he should assess the strength of the Council of Elders and Alliance Defense Corps too.
About 5 minutes passed as Seong Jihan waited like that.
Zing...!
Elves appeared all at once from the open portals.
"An energy reaction called 'Red'..."
"Could it be the Red Administrator?"
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. It could be his remnants."
"Look at that. How could that be remnants?"
One Ancient Elf and dozens of fully armed High Elves appeared from one portal.
With about a hundred portals summoned in front of the World Tree, thousands of elves were summoned all at once.
The World Tree that had been clearly visible until just now was now obscured by them.
'If needed, they could even block with their bodies.'
Thinking that, Seong Jihan spoke in the voice he had modulated to match the Red Administrator's.
"Are you all prepared?"
Then,
Zing...!
Green barriers instantly activated.
This was several levels above the system that had been defending the planet earlier.
Additionally,
"Yggdrasil, bestow your protection upon us."
As the 100 High Elves shouted in unison,
Flash...!
A rainbow-colored World Tree pattern appeared over the barrier.
The shield became even thicker, and
[Have you awakened, Red Administrator?]
Yggdrasil's voice was heard from there.
* * *
[So it seems the Blue Administrator was ultimately defeated by you.]
"......"
The Green Administrator spoke as if she had anticipated this situation.
Seong Jihan didn't bother to correct her misunderstanding.
[But if you won in that situation, you should have obtained power rivaling a Permanent Administrator...]
Zing...
Rainbow light flashed from the barrier,
Brushing past Seong Jihan's body.
[Your power doesn't seem to be at that level. Did you fail to complete Hell, in fact?]
Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m freewebnσvel.cøm.
The Green Administrator revealed her will through the barrier and instantly assessed the opponent's strength.
She was certainly not an easy opponent.
'If I say the wrong thing here, my identity could be exposed.'
[I'll recommend a response befitting me.]
'Alright. What should I say?'
[I recommend saying... "Huhu..."]
'...Are you serious?'
[Yes. You should match the tone of voice exactly too.]
So he should laugh like a villain, huh.
Seong Jihan inwardly sighed and followed the Red Administrator's coaching.
"Huhu..."
[That laughter that doesn't reveal your true intentions, it's still the same. Red Administrator.]
Perhaps because they had clashed for so long,
Yggdrasil interpreted everything just from that laugh.
She was convinced the other party was indeed the Red Administrator just from hearing "Huhu".
'This is fine so far.'
As Seong Jihan thought that,
[You should attack now. Since Yggdrasil has revealed herself, all of the World Tree Alliance's main forces could gather.]
'Right. It's dangerous to keep talking too.'
[But... can you break through?]
The Red Administrator said that, looking at the barrier with the World Tree pattern.
The opponent's defense was so thick,
It seemed difficult to break with just Total Annihilation.
However,
'Why, it's plenty.'
Seong Jihan casually extended his hand and
'Think about your line when I break this.'
He fired Total Annihilation.
Flash...!
Red light engulfed the front,
And the barrier with the World Tree pattern began burning from the surface.
However,
Zing...
The shield brilliantly shining with rainbow light,
Was easily blocking Total Annihilation.
[We've already collected and analyzed data related to 'Total Annihilation'. Red Administrator. This barrier was made to counter your authority. You won't even scratch it with that level of attack.]
[Translator - Asura]
[Proofreader - Gun]
Having blocked Total Annihilation and clearly determined that the Red Administrator wasn't at the 'Permanent Administrator' level, Yggdrasil,
[Today, we might be able to capture you instead.]
Went further and tried to capture him.
Flash. Flash.
Portals rapidly formed around Seong Jihan.
This time, not for defense.
The World Tree Alliance's main forces were being summoned to attack.
[This won't do. Blue Administrator, let's retreat. My power alone isn't enough.]
Seeing this situation, the Red Administrator spoke urgently, but,
'You really are terrible at combat.'
Seong Jihan leisurely twisted the hand extended with Total Annihilation.
Then,
Whoosh...!
The barrier crumbled as flames spread instantly.
'This is plenty with just your power.'
The red light began seeping inside the shield in an instant.
[No. How...]
'You need to control it, not just pour out power mindlessly.'
[Is that... something that can be done just like that?]
As the Red Administrator failed to understand the current situation, seeing Seong Jihan handle Total Annihilation much better than himself,
[...This is impossible. You shouldn't be able to use power this precisely?]
Yggdrasil's voice came from the crumbling barrier, cracking.
'Next line.'
['Is this all you've got?']
Following the Red Administrator's coaching, Seong Jihan recited the line.
Light flashed from the collapsed barrier.
[...To be this arrogant. Just wait.]
With those final words, the World Tree pattern completely disappeared.
The barrier shattered completely.
"Ah... the protection..."
"We can't face this head-on... scatter!"
"Everyone go near the World Tree, just don't let the flames spread! As long as it doesn't burn completely!"
The elf forces behind tried to flee towards the World Tree.
And,
Whoosh...!
As the World Tree touched by Total Annihilation burst into flames,
"Throw your bodies!"
"...Yes!"
Following the Ancient Elf's order, the High Elves all threw themselves to extinguish the fire.
'...The World Tree is their top priority. Even above the Alliance's elite forces.'
These guys were really persistent.
He should clean them up this time.
As Seong Jihan fired Total Annihilation and approached to stab Blue and Red into the S-rank World Tree,
Flash! Flash!
Countless portals opened around the World Tree,
And elf forces began pouring out.
'...Is this what Yggdrasil meant by wait?'
Ten times more elves than those who were trying to protect the S-rank World Tree.
[The World Tree Alliance... truly the scum of the universe.]
The Red Administrator assessed, seeing the opponent pushing with human wave tactics.
Though it was only at the level of tens of thousands for now,
[We will certainly capture you today.]
Flash! Flash!
As countless portals opened all around again,
Even more elf forces were about to pour in.
'This won't do.'
If left alone, this really would be endless.
[Let's retreat now. This much is a successful debut. It should be enough to entice the White Administrator as bait.]
The Red Administrator said it was time to flee, looking at the green portals completely covering the sky.
Those numbers were certainly burdensome.
If they lingered here longer, Yggdrasil herself might come.
Retreating now was the rational option.
However,
'Still, since they've gathered like this, we should hit them once before leaving.'
Hiss...
Seong Jihan drew out Blue and Red.
Perhaps because he was acting as the Red Administrator,
Blue and Red looked just like a sword of fire from the outside, with no trace of the Blue stat's energy.
After drawing the sword, he sent a mental message to the Red Administrator.
'I'll use up all the Red stat for now.'
[What? What are you trying to do? If you use up all of Red, I can't give advice.]
'Advice? It's fine.'
Honestly, this guy wasn't helpful in combat anyway.
Seong Jihan replied like that and,
Began using Red in earnest.
[500 'Red' stat is consumed.]
Zing...!
Total Annihilation spread out in all directions.
It engulfed not only the World Tree,
But all the summoned elf forces as well.
[Your resistance is fierce. But the Alliance's forces are infinite. Unlike you.]
As the elves were all annihilated, ƒreewebɳovel.com
Flash. Flash...!
Even more portals appeared to match.
Yggdrasil was trying to capture the Red Administrator this time, even if it meant sacrificing more troops.
But,
"Infinite, you say..."
Stab!
The sword held by the "Red Administrator" stabbed into the World Tree.
"The same goes for me."
As the World Tree disappeared entirely and the opponent instantly regained strength,
[No...]
The Green Administrator was at a loss for words.
