133 – Proof.
Kukkwakwakwa-!!
The anger of Mother Nature.
The ferocious blow that can only be described as that continues.
Choi Si-woo, who was running, bowed without even looking back.
The optimal response combining the three extreme senses, body, and judgment gives the ability to act like an instinct.
But the speed of the thorn vine was faster than that.
Jjiik-!
A thorn brushes my shoulder.
The wound was not deep, but green veins spread through the veins, as if there was a lethal dose of poison.
“…Whew.”
Choi Si-woo took a breath and concentrated his mind.
I grasp the symbol of the goddess planted deep within me.
When Is activated, the poison that spread along with a soft light disappears in an instant.
It didn’t stop there.
Not only did the wound regenerate, but his physical strength also recovered to some extent.
Immediately afterwards, the light in my hand whispered as if it had a will.
Are you going to move on to the next step?
Will you accept a higher divinity?
‘… No.’
I shake my head.
For now, simple assistance is enough.
“… It didn’t look like that… Could it be that he was an apostle?”
The moment I think about it, the Empress’s voice rings in my ears.
There was a huge tree growing that seemed appropriate for the word giant tree.
).
As the Empress’s main weapon, it was a morale skill with efficacy comparable to that of most ultimate skills.
Securing stable terrain.
Quantity control using plants.
It literally had the same effect as a guardian spirit of nature, spraying healing on allies and fatal poison on enemies.
To put it simply, Choi Si-woo had to break through the giant tree’s defenses while fighting against the poisonous powder flying in the air.
“……”
“……”
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Immediately, it disappears at the same time.
Kwaang-!
A deafening sound echoes along with the shock wave.
Choi Si-woo, who was running while stepping on a huge tree, rotated his body and grabbed his sword at an angle.
As the vast magical energy condenses through the blade, dozens of sword energy pours down like rain.
It was the skill .
At the first sparring, only 3 swords were possible, but now the number has been increased to over 30.
Not only was there a lot of numbers, but the power, range, and size were nothing compared to before.
Most enemies will end here.
But the opponent is the queen of villains and a legendary awakener who dominated an era.
She was the empress of grafting.
As if to prove that she was formidable, the Empress clasped both of her hands.
Heart. And an unidentified pattern engraved there.
The core, which often symbolizes the source of the awakened people’s power, begins to emit pure magical power.
The unique ability of the Empress of Grafting .
You may think she is missing something because there are many people with similar abilities, but the categories she deals with are literally on a different level.
The power of growth that completes the growth of plants in just one moment, requiring tens, hundreds, and thousands of years of time and effort to grow.
A mutation that gives an effect that would normally not be possible.
He even has the leadership ability to treat the things he has grown like limbs.
As if to show a piece of power, a huge tulip grows.
Shoots a laser beam that can easily pierce even thick steel plates.
Here, the firepower was forcibly amplified by the Empress’s ability.
The brightly opened petals quickly absorbed heat and released several flashes of light.
Quaaang-!!!
The light of And the sword energy of Clash.
Fragments of sword energy that split and shatter.
Sunflower petals cut, cut, and crushed like powder.
Everything falls like the first snow, paradoxically creating a beautiful scenery.
Tak-.
Immediately afterwards, the two landed.
“……That’s pretty good work, kid.”
The Empress opened her mouth in a mocking tone, but inside she was very surprised.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like the boy didn’t exceed the terms and conditions…
Never in her wildest dreams did she know that she would fight on equal footing with him.
The Empress’s eyebrows narrowed.
Can this really be explained under the category of genius?
No, no.
The strength of the opponent did not simply stop at outstanding talent.
‘… Complete.’
Hundreds and thousands of times. A gem-like being that has been polished through life-or-death battles.
You can feel the strength of the ‘extreme’ that was possible because it survived in the end like a famous sword that was perfected through a process of heating and cooling over a long period of time.
The Empress swallowed her dry saliva so much that her throat rang.
In 20 years, or even 10 years, will she be able to defeat him?
‘… ‘Never mind.’
It is enough to prevent that time from coming.
“So…Ken Ichimaru. Why are you taking his side?”
It was a time when I was organizing my thoughts.
Choi Si-woo opens up as if to tell the story he shared during the battle.
The Empress frowned at her, but she decided to comply.
“I would have told you. I received an offer from the association. They promised to give me territory if I ruined the fair. That’s just the context.”
“…For something like that, you were going to kill him outright, right?”
The Empress turned her head at her reprimanding words.
Her cheeks were red from her embarrassment.
“…Because it’s a yellow kid. I figured it would be annoying in the future, so I just tried to kill it.”
Her voice lowers a little, as if she knows that even when she thinks about it, she is in a difficult situation.
“…For something like that, it seems like it contains very personal feelings…?”
“…You brat! It’s none of your business! Aren’t we enemies in the first place? What are you asking?”
The Empress of Grafting frowned and stamped her feet.
To match that, the leaves on her body turn red.
Oh, it also responds to emotions.
Choi Si-woo felt a little fresh.
The Empress of Grafting that he knew was a terrifying being worthy of its name.
With the look in her eyes that said she would kill no matter what, she rushed at me like a demon.
She still gets chills when she thinks about that time.
▶When you fall in love, everything becomes cute. Master.
Well, I guess it’s good.
The important thing is the transaction side of the story.
Choi Si-woo, who adjusted his sword, rushed forward like lightning.
Boom!
An explosion of battle occurs once again.
The sword strike that cuts and crushes various plants resonates.
“If you kill, won’t you get paid properly?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s okay if I get it from the other protagonists anyway.”
Choi Si-woo nodded and quickly turned his sword.
Piercing through the floor, he tears the tree roots he is aiming for and slashes his sword towards the Empress.

Kagagak-!
Not to be outdone, the Empress also wrapped her hands in plants and struck them.
The bursting fireworks scatter the surrounding area as if embroidering it.
“What is the purpose of acquiring territory? Isn’t there enough land to overflow anyway?”
“…Because I don’t want to see my children fighting anymore.”
Choi Si-woo’s eyes fill with doubt.
“All the children who follow me are abandoned. They are not welcome anywhere.”
The Empress said.
A being with an innate physical bond.
A being that went berserk because it could not control its abilities.
A being unable to exert normal strength due to restrictions.
They say they are the ones who attracted those people.
“I couldn’t abandon them. That’s why I gave up my status as a hero and joined them.”
We didn’t want to play a villain or anything.
That’s why I lived as quietly as possible.
Finally, I had a chance to clear my name.
“…Hundred Years’ War.”
“That’s right. They promised. They would definitely pay for their fight. They would take care of the marginalized. They would listen to our voices.”
But what came back was betrayal.
“That’s why we accepted this offer. It doesn’t matter whether they keep their promise or not. If they betray, it’s like giving them a justification.”
Indeed…
I finally understand.
I’m sure the current association, which has been hammered from all over, would easily collapse even in the hands of the Empress.
‘… Except for the messenger of Pianhua.’
Choi Si-woo, who was thinking quietly, must have thought of a good idea and made a mischievous Jammin expression, saying ‘Aha-!’
“…Well, what is the expression on your face that is so arrogant that you are king…?”
Is it because of the sudden change?
The Empress has sent a lot of warning.
“So, if I provide it, I can cooperate with this side?”
“…What…Are you talking about?’
Choi Si-woo’s explanation follows.
The plan to wipe out the association and take its place was briefly explained.
After hearing everything, the Empress narrowed her eyes.
“…Babe. If what you say is right…What we’re doing now is definitely pointless.”
“Right? So-“
“-But!”
The Empress, who stopped speaking, lightly gestured with her hand.
Hundreds of vines sprouting from the floor sparkle like spear blades.
Choi Si-woo wiped the blood flowing from his cheek with the back of his hand.
“The most important thing in an awakened person’s argument is power. If I’m going to trust the words of a brat who can’t even defeat me, it’s only right to do it my way.”
“…So you just have to prove it?”
“…What?”
That moment.
Choi Si-woo clenched his fist and struck his heart.
Thump boom!
A huge sound resounds.
Soon, it began to spread throughout Choi Si-woo’s entire body and cause special changes.
.
It was one of the strongest buffs that Choi Si-woo could currently use.
[All physical abilities rise transcendently.]
[Enter the world of 《Realm》 for the duration.]
The Empress looks at me with puzzled eyes.
Immediately after, both eyes widen as if they were angry.
The heat spreads quickly.
And even an unidentifiable noise.
Squint your eyes for a moment.
I made eye contact with Choi Si-woo, who was spreading a sun-like glare beyond the collected energy.
“…!”
The Empress of Grafting flinched without realizing it.
Immediately, I was surprised by that fact.
No way, now… Are you saying you were scared?
‘What on earth is that?’ ?’
“Whoa…”
Choi Si-woo takes a breath and takes a step forward.
There was no significant change.
The magic power has also increased significantly.
It is not like a strong power has been created.
But…
“……”
The mere sight of him made cold sweat break out on the Empress’s back.
There was no doubt about it.
This feeling.
This feeling.
It was definitely a feeling of fear.
‘… ‘Don’t be funny.’
The Empress raised her remaining magical power.
Responds to your will and emits a green aura.
The Empress just waves her hands.
A variety of plants bloomed along the stems and took a shooting stance.
“Die, you brat!!”
Plants that bloom in response to the signal unleash a massive blow.
Enough firepower to easily tear through a huge building one by one.
If we were to look at its power purely, it was enough to virtually destroy a city.
Kwakwakwa-!
A storm of fire rages.
The once beautiful garden was quickly engulfed in flames and turned into a disaster.
It was a sight that no one could survive, but the Empress swallowed her dry saliva.
It’s because I think that just because of this, that kid wouldn’t have died.
“……!!”
And then, one second later.
Think with confidence.
Confidence turned to astonishment.
Quarring-!!!
Even though lightning did not strike, a huge roar fills the garden.
At the same time, the sound of something being cut is also spread.
“……”
The Empress, out of breath, lowered her gaze.
Rurg……
Half half.
As much as half of the upper body was completely blown away.
As the Empress looked at the cut section, she understood what kind of attack she had been hit with.
‘… Sting.’
It just passed through without any special techniques.
The power was so strong that the range expanded as if it had been penetrated by a drill.
But that wasn’t why the Empress was surprised.
‘… I, I… ‘You couldn’t even react?’
She didn’t notice at all.
She couldn’t respond at all.
Let your guard down? With all my concentration, how could I have let my guard down?
This was definitely a gap in strength.
“So…”
“…!”
I trembled at the voice I heard.
Choi Si-woo, holding her long long sword in her hand, was patting her on the shoulder.
“Is this enough proof?”
“……”
The Empress, unable to say anything, briefly spread her hands.
The spread of light heals her torn body at lightning speed.
Choi Si-woo, who was watching, clicked his tongue and lowered himself.
It seemed like this cocky queen needed more proof.
