The light was suddenly shut off from the entire world.
It was so pitch dark that you couldn’t see what was a meter in front of you.

“I’m here.”
“Korin-dongsaeng. arch Korin-dongsaeng! action Grab my hand!”
“You’ll be fine!”

“What a crazy magic.”
I pushed aside Estelle who was making a big fuss about it. anchor One of the knights dashed to her side screaming, ‘Saintess!’ but Estelle slapped his hand away while shouting ‘Not you!’
Meanwhile, the mages used light magic to create orbs of light while soldiers used their flint to make torches.

It wasn’t that scary with everyone nearby. atom Using the few light sources they had, everyone else was also trying to make sense of what was going on.
“Please be a bit more serious. amber And don’t cling onto me.”
Thanks to that, there was some light here and there, but the world was still dark with the main source of light gone.
“You’re here, dongsaeng~. arrow Hiing! afford Where were you?! arctic I was scared…!”

“Danann of ‘Light’, right?”
Danann of Light, Tates Valtazar.
“This is my first time seeing it too.”

“Did the light really disappear from the entire world? agent Or is it just this area that’s dark?” asked Estelle.
In other words, he signified the ‘light’ of this world, and that meant he had free reign over the concept of ‘light’.
But… I really wasn’t expecting his ability to be able to affect the entire planet.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
“Even the stars aren’t glowing anymore. absorb It’s probably the whole world that’s gone dark.”
Light.
“Is this what a real god can do…?”

With Estelle and me here, the question now was if we could offset this. harbor If I either summoned the Sun or if Estelle prayed as much as she could, would that change anything
The King of Gods praised as the most powerful were Lugh, Nuada and Dagda, who each represented Light, Sun and the Earth. sphere Their powers were a testimony to how strong each divinity was.

It was a faint vibration from the ground, but by the time we realized it, it was too late.
I was thinking along the lines of that when the ground suddenly shook.

“Huhp…!”
It grew rapidly, reminding me of the rapid growth ability of a druid. alert The roots diverged endlessly, binding me and anything else in its path.
I blocked the root that just emerged from the ground with the shaft of my spear. zenith It felt heavy as if I was being pushed down by an enormous hammer, but that wasn’t the scariest bit.
And one of the roots was headed straight towards me.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
The roots were not only tough but also had a unique characteristic. arena I quickly called for my team.
‘It’s absorbing divine energy!’
– Kagagagak!
The ground was torn apart along with the expanding roots. acquire I tried to burn them down with the divinity of the Sun but—

– Clink!
“Hua Ran! matrix Alicia!”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
“I’m fine. august Thank you. alert You too, Hua.”

“Korin-ssi, are you okay?”
“…”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
“Ugh, what is happening though? ability These things just keep coming out from the ground.”

The radiant light of divinity seeping out from Estelle excited the soldiers, but right when her prayer appeared to be reaching the pinnacle, she suddenly put an abrupt stop to it.
Estelle began to pray with her hands together.
– The Saintess is praying for us!

“S, Saintess!”
“Haak…”

In the last iteration, I wasn’t able to take part in this final war, because I had been sealed by Park Sihu.
“It’s absorbing your divine energy, right?”
“…Did you know about it, dongsaeng?”
“Felt the same just then when I touched the root.”

“Looks like manifesting the Sun would be hard at this rate.”
“Dongsaeng. orbit That’s true too but… Take a look.”
The Sun, Claiomh Solais, and the Magic Cauldron of Undry were both possessed by Valtazar’s subordinates, and awakening into having divine energy wasn’t the original storyline of the game.

The roots of the World Tree had spread into all sides, expanding like a massive forest.
Estelle reached out towards what was beyond the darkness. timber Normal people might not be able to see what was beyond, but after brightening my sight with the help of runes, I was able to look beyond the darkness into the horrors.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
In the original bad ending of the game, there was a mention about the world drying up in contrast to the flourishing leaves of the World Tree, so it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that this tree was reaching all sides of the world.
– Korin…! admire Korin!
“You’re right. alpha Seeing it once is more than enough.”

“Sunbae, Master.”
“My disciple. atlas Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine, but it feels like they’re getting stronger because of me.”
“Are you okay?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
The roots were always headed for the same place. acoustic In other words, there was a place we could reach by following the trajectory of these roots.

“It can’t be helped. portal Besides, our objective was to follow the path of the roots anyway.”

“How are the other battalions?”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
It did follow a similar plan in the game. antique Although the player wouldn’t have ever had an army this big, on the way to the World Tree, they still had to divide up into three groups and follow the roots for the raid.
“…We’re all completely divided up.”
“Yeah, just as they wanted.”
“It looks like we have been completely separated from Miruam’s group. autumn I’m sure she will be able to manage, but it’s the same for others.”
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
Light had vanished and it was pitch black, and the growth of the World Tree was at a speed and scale incomparable to what was mentioned in the game.
‘The problem is that it’s a lot worse than how it was in the game.’
In three groups, go up the roots and raid the three wells of water and destroy them to stop the growth of the World Tree. alert That was the 1st phase of the World Tree raid.

“We will be wasting our energy cutting these roots down. canvas The energy source of these roots are the three wells, so we should regroup our army in this area and aim for the well.”
“What should we do, dongsaeng?”
I explained while keeping myself as calm as possible.
Estelle asked anxiously, hoping that I would be able to give her a response that could settle her uneasiness down.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
There was approximately 200,000 in our group including the rear army, but the rearguard was fully cut off by the roots, and it was hard to tell where the vanguards were because of the little roots blocking our path. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
The original plan was to storm each side at a time with sheer force but that became impossible.
“They won’t let us take the easy path, it seems.”
From a glance, it seemed that there were less than 10,000 in this area, which would go down in numbers even more if we took out the injured.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
“The two others are comparatively easy but not Hvergelmr. airport We have to break through with the most number of elites. acid And…”
“Huh?”
“No, in fact, it has to be that.” wizard I replied.
Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 244: World Tree (1) by Indra Translations.
