Chapter 1111

“If I want to crack open the skulls of those Eden bastards, I’d better recover diligently.”

Sterin raised his bow with spirited enthusiasm, as if welcoming the coming war.

“I’ll be busy for a while.”

He chuckled, saying he would have to eat and sleep in the Training Ground
until he brought his body to peak condition.

“I’ll strengthen my spirit power as well.”

Siyan drew a faint smile as she gathered the spirits clustering around her onto her hands and shoulders.

“Now I understand that the spirits can only grow stronger if I grow stronger.”

She nodded solemnly, saying it was time to leave her blankets behind and begin her training.

“Thank you.”

I bowed my head to Siyan and Sterin, expressing my gratitude.

“I look forward to your continued support.”

Because of me and Zigheart, these two had risked their lives in battle, so I offered them my sincere respect.

“Now I’ll take my leave.”

Sterin smacked his lips regretfully.

“Yes. It seems I need to visit other places to gain more supporters.”

Now that I had secured Sepia’s backing, it was time to seek out other forces.

The Divine Continent Five Regions, the Holy Kingdom, the Arian Family, the Coastal Village, and the Robert Family’s territories—even moving busily, it would inevitably take considerable time.

“I apologize for holding up a busy person, but could you spare a few more days?”

Sterin lowered his bow and approached me.

“Of course that’s possible. But why…?”

I tilted my head at Sterin, unable to understand why he wanted me to stay when everything was already finished.

“I want to give this child a proper succession ceremony.”

Sterin gently pushed Siyan forward.

“My condition wasn’t good, so the ceremony was rushed. This time, I’d like to hold a formal succession ceremony.”

He extended his hand, asking me to participate in the ceremony as Zigheart’s representative.

“G-Grandfather!”

Siyan’s eyes widened as she looked at Sterin, completely unaware of this.

“Then I absolutely must stay.”

I nodded reassuringly.

“When are you planning to hold the succession ceremony?”
“It’ll take about a week to prepare.”
“Then I’ll help both of you with your training until the ceremony.”

If Sterin and Siyan grew stronger, the Alliance would grow stronger as well, so I decided to assist them in their training.

“Really?”

Sterin leaned forward eagerly, his expression brightening.

“Yes. I have time to spare anyway, and it would be mutually beneficial.”

I smiled and nodded.

-Besides, I’ll have plenty of time! Plenty indeed!

Wrath snorted derisively as he glared at me.

-If you just sit around, the System, that ear-headed fool, and that old geezer will take care of everything for you anyway! So how could you possibly be busy?!
You can’t possibly be busy!

He ground his teeth as if the mere thought of it infuriated him.

‘He knows me well.’

I accepted Wrath’s jabs with equanimity and laughed.

‘If it bothers you, why don’t you become handsome yourself?’
-Grrrrgh!

Wrath’s fists trembled with genuine fury.

-You weasel-faced bastard….
“Thank you.”

Just as he was about to charge at me with a howl, Sterin approached and took my hand.

“I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to have you here.”

He spoke his gratitude repeatedly, saying he had received so much help from me that it would be difficult to repay it all.

“Your master’s grandfather is as much my grandfather. Please treat me comfortably.”

I shook my head solemnly. It was through Rimer that I came to understand what it truly meant to live as a human. No amount of repayment could ever settle the debt I owed him.

“Yes.”

Sterin bowed his head slightly and gripped my hand more firmly. A faint glimmer seemed to shine in his weathered eyes.

“Raon….”

Siyan also approached, moved by emotion, and placed her hand over both of ours.

“If you ever need me, just call anytime… *sniff*”

I nodded with a smile, then my jaw trembled slightly. A pale white hand had appeared on top of Siyan and Sterin’s hands.

“Me too….”

Evelyn’s hushed voice brushed against my ear. She grasped her own hand with a subtle smile, pinching it gently.

“I can join too, right?”

Her cold gaze flickered with determination—as if to say she would cling to us regardless of what we said.

-Krrrraaaaaahhh!
‘Aaaaaaahhh!’

Raon and Wrath, who had been arguing internally, screamed and collapsed simultaneously.

-Seriously, keep her away from us! I think my nerves are about to snap!
‘There’s no….’

I shook my head briefly.

‘There’s no way to do that!’
-….

Wrath swallowed hard, realizing he had nothing to say about it.

“You should smile, shouldn’t you?”

Evelyn raised her eyebrow slightly, as if asking why I had suddenly stiffened.

“Ahaha.”
-Hehehe!

Raon and Wrath laughed awkwardly.

‘Why are you laughing?’
-Because it’s terrifying!

‘Now let me check on something.’

I returned to the Dormitory and summoned the reward message I’d seen at the Training Ground.

-You’re going to lose your mind!

Wrath lunged forward and blocked the reward message with his body.

-Damn System! If the True Demon King were here, I’d have turned this bastard into an ice block along with you!

He gnashed his teeth, lamenting that he couldn’t do it.

-I’m listening! Come out right now! The True Demon King’s power for you to use as you please… cough!
‘Stop it and come out.’

I grabbed Wrath’s cheek as he threw his tantrum and pushed him aside, then checked the message he’d been hiding.

[You have achieved a great Achievement.]
[You have saved the leaders of the Elves.]
[You have harmonized the soul of your past life with the soul of your present life.]
[All stats increase by 100 points.]

Wrath sprang up like a jack-in-the-box and let out a shriek.

-What, what?! Why are you giving 100 points all at once!

He grabbed the message in disbelief and shook it. I’d never known it could move like that.

-How is helping a few inexperienced Elves worth 100 points!

Wrath shook his head vigorously, insisting it made no sense.

-You didn’t even help the Elves yourself—you just placed the fork and knife on a table that was already set by someone else!

He bounced up and down, demanding I see it his way.

—And on top of that… huh?

Wrath cut off his anger, his eyes widening in shock.

—The souls of my past life and present life have harmonized? What kind of nonsense is this!

He furrowed his brow, as if unable to comprehend what was being said.

—You’re desperately clinging to excuses! The True Demon King will never accept this!

Wrath shook his head vigorously, refusing to accept the outcome.

‘He doesn’t understand.’

In truth, I had been startled when the phrase about souls of past and present lives appeared, worried that Wrath might catch on.

But as always, he simply believed the System was fabricating reasons by force.

—I absolutely will not grant it!

Wrath flailed his arms wildly, insisting he would not transfer the stat points.

‘Sorry, but I’ve already received them.’

Contrary to his resistance, the System’s reward was already seeping into my body and mind.

Uuuuuum!

My muscles gained a rubber-like elasticity, and pure mana seeped into my bones and skin. My sensory range and acuity heightened, as if I could hear the sounds of the entire world flowing into my ears.
The range and acuity of my senses heightened, and it felt as though the sounds of the entire world were reaching my ears.

Growl.

Raon clenched his fist, feeling the joy of growth.

Ugh!

Wrath gritted his teeth again, making a sound as if his anger was flaring up.

—Curse! I shall curse you all!

He thrashed about, waving his fingers like sprinkling seasoning, lamenting the collapse of his grand design.

‘….’

I exhaled a short sigh as I watched Wrath’s desperate flailing.

Not today.

If I spoke of my past life now, the message would expose me, forcing me to reveal everything to Wrath.

I wanted to tell him the truth at a moment of my own choosing, on my own terms.

Besides, judging by Wrath’s reaction, it seemed as though he already knew but was pretending otherwise.
It would be better to speak at a time I had decided upon, not today.

‘What comes next….’

I averted my gaze and pulled up the next message.

[New Affinity 【Wind Attribute Affinity】 has been created.]
[New Affinity 【Earth Attribute Affinity】 has been created.]

Perhaps it was from being alongside the spirits, or perhaps because Garunua and Geumgang had grown. New affinities had manifested.

—No, why now!

Wrath gnawed at his lips, displeased even by the emergence of new affinities.

[The trait 【Poison Resistance】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Water Affinity】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Fire Affinity】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Wind Affinity】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Earth Affinity】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Morale Resistance】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Blade That Severs Death】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Divine Power Resistance】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Crisis Detection】 has increased in rank.]
[The trait 【Spirit Transformation】 has increased in rank.]

As my soul grew through breathing in harmony with the World Tree, my traits’ ranks rose dramatically in succession.

-Ugh…

Wrath seemed to have run out of words entirely, white foam spilling from his mouth. I could feel his anger level climbing higher and higher.

But it still wasn’t over.

[The title 【Savior】 has evolved into 【Savior of All Races】.]

Finally, the title of Savior I had previously possessed had become the Savior of All Races. It was a title’s evolution.

-What the! It’s just
a broader scope for Savior, isn’t it!

Wrath shook his head vigorously in disbelief.

-Why did the scope narrow, but the power increased!

He let out a shriek, telling me to take it easy.

-Why won’t you listen to a word I say!

Wrath tore at his hair in frustration, as if he were going mad.

‘There’s only one way the System will listen to you.’

I pointed a finger at myself.

‘Fix your face. Like me.’

I laughed, saying that was the fastest way.

Thump.

In that instant, I heard a sound like a tendon snapping from Wrath’s forehead.

-Fine! After all this time, let’s both die—you and the True Demon King!

He lunged at me with genuine fury, his massive rage unleashed.

Boom!

But my soul, now unified between my past and present lives, had become an impenetrable wall that refused Wrath entry itself.

-Kack!

Wrath let out a yelp like a wounded dog and crashed to the ground.

-I… I really…

He pounded the earth with his fists, wailing.

-The True Demon King’s face is second to none anywhere in the world!
‘So that’s what he was angry about?’

The dimension concealing the World Tree opened, connecting to Sepia as one space.

A colossal tree, as if embodying the very concept of verdancy itself, bloomed with crystalline fragrance and vitality throughout the Grand Forest.

The World Tree’s thick roots stretched upright like a fence, and around them stood the Elves of Sepia in orderly rows.

The elves
waited for today’s protagonist while clutching withered leaves in their palms.

Sterin, too, had shed his usual modest martial robes and donned the High Elf’s traditional ceremonial garments—silk-smooth to the touch—along with a crown fashioned from golden leaves, his hands clasped behind his back.

As Sepia’s elves gazed upon the World Tree with radiant smiles, a peculiar footstep echoed through the air, brushing against their ears.

Tap.

It was Siyan. She ascended the path of the World Tree in a goddess-like bearing, her azure dress sweeping gently across the ground.

She paused for a moment, gazing upon the brilliantly luminous World Tree and the elves waiting for her below.

The elves no longer pitied or ignored Siyan as before; instead, they showed respect and reverence befitting the next guardian.

Siyan swept her gaze across the elves’ eyes before meeting Raon’s gaze, who stood to her right.

She, whose eyes had always held a hint of shame, bowed respectfully to Raon as if to express her gratitude, then continued her path toward the World Tree.

Whoooosh!

The elves who had been waiting for Siyan scattered faded flowers and withered leaves over her head.

Bloom!

The wilted flowers and petals falling upon Siyan’s hair and shoulders bloomed as if returning to their most beautiful and vibrant season, scattering rich fragrance and vitality.

She appeared like a goddess of nature, breathing new vigor into dying life.

Blessed and bestowing blessings in turn, Siyan approached Sterin, who stood beneath the World Tree.

All elves were born with exceptional beauty, yet Siyan surpassed them all.
Even the elves were so captivated by her appearance that they could not speak, their mouths agape.

“You will do far better than I ever could. I entrust Sepia to you.”

Sterin nodded to Siyan with the same composed gaze he always carried, even during the succession ceremony.

“I will do my utmost to honor Grandfather’s name.”

Siyan drew a smile free of tension, trusting in Sterin before her.

“From today. No, from the day you cast off your blankets and rose to your feet, you have been the guardian of this land.”

Sterin told her to continue as she was now, then removed the crown of leaves from his own head and placed it upon Siyan’s.

Paaaaaang!

In that moment, the World Tree burst forth with magnificent light and vitality, as if blessing the Elves’ succession ceremony.

The Grand Forest—no, the entire world—rippled with emerald radiance, and waves of luminescence painted themselves across the empty sky.

Uwaaaaaaaaaa!

Even the Elves, whose emotions ran shallow, broke into cheers with smiles spreading across their entire faces. The spirits, moved by their joy, burst into childlike laughter, and the essence of nature poured forth.

Beneath the all-encompassing Mother Tree, Elves and nature intertwined as one, and the figures of Siyan and Sterin standing tall as if to protect this land evoked the image of a living masterpiece.

“Not bad at all.”

I nodded with satisfaction after witnessing it all.

‘Master would be pleased with this too, wouldn’t you?’

I slowly closed my eyes, thinking of Rimer, whom I would likely never see again, then opened them once more.

“Our business here is finished.”

Dorian laughed with a hehe, saying this had been quite satisfying in many ways.

“We didn’t really have much to do anyway.”

Martha let out a long yawn, complaining that she’d been bored.

“Where are we heading next?”

Evelyn traced her crimson lips with a finger, asking me to tell her our destination.

“Well…”

I stood with my arms crossed, watching the World Tree sway dramatically.

‘Where should I go first?’

It seemed best to start with the larger powers, so choosing either the Holy Kingdom or one of the Divine Continent Five Regions would be wise.

As I furrowed my brow in contemplation,

Whoosh.

The air split thinly, and a black envelope tumbled down.

“Hm?”

I caught the envelope before it hit the ground and opened it.

“A letter from the Black Market!”

Dorian gasped at the sight of the black envelope.

“It seems…”

I chuckled as I folded the letter.

“My next destination has been decided?”
