Chapter 326
Spirit Realm
The light source inside the World Tree that had been emitting blue light turned red.
Something could be seen descending in Ferda's vision as he watched the phenomenon.
'Rize.'
He returned to Ferda's side along with the spirits.
'Rize has returned.'
W еbn̈о̂ v́ ĕ l̆ Е̌ ṅũ m̈а̂
He thought Rize would sacrifice himself for the World Tree, but things went differently than expected.
The World Tree would end up like this because of that, but it was of no concern to Ferda.

"Regent-nim, you're safe."
"Yes, Rize-ssi, you're safe as well."
"Yes...... that's right."
His appearance was a mess.
Е ǹŭ m̆а̊
Since Ferda had seen him never losing his smile, he could feel how difficult this matter had been.
"The World Tree will soon...... break. We must avoid it."
"......It's become unfortunate."
"Right."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It wasn't frustration over that failure.
Something even more unpleasant was disturbing his heart.
Ŵ е̊ b ńо̀ v̂è ľ Ӗn̈u m̂ а́
Something that made the circle settled in his chest feel like it would shatter.
"Huh, over there......?"
Rize discovered something and pointed his finger in that direction.
A woman could be seen coming down the water current.
"Phew, is everyone safe?"
It was Erica, who had been fighting alongside Elder Cyprus.

Traces of the fierce offensive and defensive battle remained all over her body.
"What happened to the Elder?"
"I sent him off. In his most noble form."
Now only Rize remained among the High Elves.
That fact touched Rize's heart.
"The World Tree's mana is no longer friendly to us. We must escape quickly before it becomes a bomb and swallows us."
Ẃ еb nо̆v_ẽl̊ Е̃ ń um̃ӓ
"Can you use teleport magic?"
Erica calculated internally and answered.

"Give me about 3 minutes."
It was the time derived considering mana quantity and scale.
If escaping alone, it would have been even shorter.
'3 minutes.'
Еn ûm̃ á._і d̈
Judging by the current vibration and light intensity, it seemed barely possible to evacuate in time.
If they just went like this, it would go smoothly.
Grind.
Crunch.

Crush!
But the world's malice wasn't over yet.
E̊ n̂u m̂а̂
A huge dragon claw pierced through the inside of the World Tree and tore it open.
Filling that huge gap were blue eyes.
They were the eyes of Storeus, the Storm Phase.
-You're still here. You've got tenacious vitality like a bug, Regent.
Storeus said that.
-If you'd disappeared like a mortal, it would have ended on its own.

Along with a tone that sounded regretful, he pulled his body away.
-But this time you won't be able to avoid it.
Blue lightning light and the sound of boiling thunder.
Storeus intended to throw the Spear of Judgment at the World Tree.
"Re, Regent-nim? What on earth is this......?"
Rize couldn't understand Storeus's actions.
We b nŏṽē l Е̃ñ u m̂а
It was natural since he hadn't been given any explanation.
"Tower Master. It's urgent."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I need more mana!"
Not even 1 minute had passed yet.
Erica tried to squeeze out her mana.
She was probably attempting teleportation with the resolve to not only risk her life but break herself.
Е n̄ u̇ḿ а
But even so, she couldn't gather it faster than the time that spear would fall.
'A way to avoid this situation.......'
A method Ferda could use to escape while risking danger.
It wasn't that there was none at all.

Wasn't it right in front of his eyes right now?
"Spirits."
Е̊ňu̇mа .і̆d
-You called us?
Ferda spoke while looking at the World Tree's Nightmare holding Rize preciously.
"Send us to the Spirit Realm."
"The, Spirit Realm?"
"If we go there, we might not be able to return, you know?"
The Spirit Realm is a partial world existing in the gap of space, Limbo.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Entering that world is as one pleases, but escaping is hard even for first-rate mages.
How could he not know that?
Ferda also doesn't recklessly enter Limbo without full preparation.
"I don't want to go in there even if I die......."
"Then will you die here?"
Even if you hate it to death, when you actually face death, things change.
Ẅ ê b́ń о̃ v̈ ě ĺ Е.n̄u m а̂
The World Tree is bursting, and Storeus is targeting Ferda right now—there's no way for them to survive.
"Damn it!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Erica also decided to follow Ferda's will as if she didn't know what else to do.
Everyone clung to the World Tree's Nightmare, and he cast his magic.
-Then let's go!
When the World Tree's Nightmare made a motion of jumping somewhere, a door leading there formed before him.
Е n ū m̆ a. і̃d
He jumped toward it.
Kugugung-!
The exploding sound was crushed into heavy density and disappeared.
It was a sensation similar to jumping into a lake.

The sensation of dense materials touching the skin wrapping around.
Heavy if heavy, light if light—a sensation playing with the five senses.
Wẽb n̄ȯ v еl̀ Е̂n̄ú ma
In short, it was dreamlike.
"Ugh, this is why I hated it. This motion-sickness sensation....... The flow of air feeling like it's groping my whole body......."
"So this is what the Spirit Realm feels like. Uum......."
Erica made a rare groaning sound, and Rize was also steadying his churning stomach.
The sensation that sharpens nerves and toys with cognition makes mages feel motion sickness.
If not trained, vomiting and fainting right away is no big deal.

"Shit......."
Yubel couldn't endure it and fainted leaning on Ferda's shoulder.
'I might not be able to keep my wits about me either.'
The longer one stays in this space, the worse this gets.
Rize's body swayed, and the feeling of drifting away from this space grew strong.
If they separate from each other here, it's over.

"Be careful, Rize-ssi."
Ferda reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Hwiik!?"
A voice that sounded extremely startled.
The sound was strange for just holding hands.
Ferda pulled him for now and asked.

"Are you okay?"
"Fe, Ferda-nim......."
"Why are you like this?"
"Right now, wha, you're holding......."

"My hand?"
"That's...... my butt."
W̊е bn о̆v еl E n̆u m̄а
"......?"
He felt his mind go blank.
And he recalls what Rize said again.
What did I grab?
"You're holding my butt......."
He couldn't believe it and unconsciously squeezed.

"Hwiik!"
At the startled sound again, Ferda carefully let go of what he was holding.
'No matter how I think about it, it wasn't the sensation of a butt.'
Since this is a world where perception and even form are twisted, a form split into five branches could become a butt.
Because this is the Spirit Realm.
Anyway, Ferda had grabbed Rize's -butt and pulled him.
E n ú mâ. і̃.d
"Wow, I've been nauseous since a while ago, but my head's clear now."
Erica said that while looking at Ferda.

"That's a relief."
"You think it's a relief?"
"I apologize."
Even with twisted perception, he can tell she's glaring with glaring eyes.
Wеb̆.ǹ о̇vе̌ l E n̂u m̀а
Rize is definitely a man.
He accidentally grabbed another man's butt, so why does he have to receive this treatment?
'No, I understand but.......'
Ferda felt a contradictory mood.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Making him have dizzy thoughts in an already nauseating space.
Rize turns his attention away with his face bright red.
Е n ů m̂а..іd̃
"Th, then what do we do now?"
The idea of avoiding the attack by coming to the Spirit Realm was good.
But it was no different from running from a bear into a tiger's den.
-Huh!?
Something with a distinct form wriggling in the distorted perception discovered Ferda's group and shouted.
-Kids! Look here! There are ugly kids!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It became the ringleader, and in an instant, many kids surrounded them.
They were spirits.
'Troublesome.'
Spirits are pure and curious.
That curiosity is like a child's.
But it wasn't a relationship between child and adult.
Е̄ n ùḿ а́ . і ḋ
Child and bug.
Curiosity of the kind where they can die at any moment from a mere whim.

-They're ugly kids.
-How far will they stretch if we pull them?
-Let's try it once.
The spirits were showing that curiosity.
Wеbn_o v еl̊ È n.ũ mа
A chilling sensation raised his instincts.
-Don't touch!
-If you touch Rize, I won't forgive you!
-Okay, okay!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Fortunately, the World Tree's Nightmare was friendly to Rize, so they didn't recklessly touch.
-Then can we touch the others?
Е́n ũm̀ā. і ḋ
-The other kids don't matter.
-Not our business.
They were friendly 'only to Rize'.
-Yeah, then I'll only touch the other kids.
"No, the others can't either!"
-Rize says no.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
-Hing, so mean.
Thanks to Rize's restraint, they barely caught their breath.
He had a broad enough mind to show favor to others even after having his butt grabbed.
Anyway, they need to get out of the Spirit Realm.
But there's no way the spirits would just let them out after they came in like this.
No matter how strong a spirit the World Tree's Nightmare is, here it's just an ordinary spirit.
W̃.eb n̆о̄v̌е l̃ Е̄ nū m̈а̄
Stopping the curiosity of the herd of kids won't be easy.
That's why Ferda's actions look extremely planless.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But surprisingly, Ferda had a plan.
That plan revealed its form before long.
-Gasp!
-The King comes!
Е̇ n ům а . і̇ d̆
-Coming! Coming!
-Gotta run~!
The spirits wriggling in the twisted perception started recoiling and retreating.
The World Tree's Nightmare chose to hide tucked in Rize's armpits instead of fleeing.

An existence that established hierarchy in this dizzying Spirit Realm.
Shortly after, they could clearly confirm with their own two eyes.
Ё n.ūm̊.а̄. і́d
An existence whose head alone was as big as the body of Odograsado, the largest on the continent.
That existence thrust its head before Ferda and said this.
-It's Dad!
It was the Fairy Dragon Nekonata, the smallest dragon.
-I heard someone came into Nekonata's kingdom without permission, and it was Dad?
Despite her hugely swollen build, a broad and harmless-looking appearance.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The scatterbrained Nekonata greeted lovingly.
-Hello, Dad!
"I pay my respects to Nekonata-nim."
Separate from that, Ferda greeted her respectfully.
Led by Ferda, the others followed and greeted as well.
"I pay my respects to the Great Fairy King, Nekonata-nim."

"Ye, yes, I pay my res, respects to Nekonata-nim......!"
-Bap-seum-nida!

-Bap-seum-nida!
-Ptooey ptooey!
Seeing the Fairy Dragon for the first time, Rize stammered from nervousness.
Nekonata only directed her gaze at Ferda as if uninterested in them.
Е́n̈ um̊а
-What's up? You wanted to see Nekonata? But Dad isn't a spirit, so if you're here you'll diiie?
"Of course not. We lost our way and had no choice but to come here."
-Yeah, I see.
Nekonata's eyes blinked innocently.

Erica felt dizzy watching Ferda stepping steadily toward death.
Of course, Ferda wasn't completely without awareness either.
Ênŭ m̆ а. i̊ d
'Is Nekonata friendly?'
Honestly, he doesn't know at all.
Right now, he only thinks all dragons are trying to kill Ferda.
Like the spirits, if she acts on a whim, he won't escape the fate of an ant.
-Our Dad is marrying Unni, so why are you only with pretty unnis?
Ferda thought about the members.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Erica, Rize, and Yubel.
They were stuck with Ferda to survive.
Ferda brought up an excuse for that.
"Rize-ssi here is a man."
-Liar! Pretty person is girl! Cool person is boy! The prettiest one here!
"Th...... that's not wrong though......."
W ė ḃ n̂о̀ v̈еl̂ E ǹũ m а̌
Erica smacked her lips at a strange sense of humiliation.
Rize wanted to say he's a man right away, but not a word came from his lips.

Before any misunderstanding could arise, Ferda decided to change the subject.
"Storeus-nim attacked us, and we had no choice but to evacuate following the Spirits' Path. Regarding this point, we would be grateful if you would bestow your mercy."
-But this is...... uum...... what was it? Ah! Trespassing! It's trespassing! Grrr.
Even if she makes pathetic beast sounds, that woman is the most powerful existence here.
Ẅéb̈ n̆ о̌ vеĺ Е n̊ ǔm̃ā
She must absolutely not be ignored.
"Regarding that point, we will certainly make compensation."
-Then can you make Nekonata your daughter?
"As I said, that's not possible."

Erica imagined kicking Ferda's shin with all her might.
Reality was too much just holding her churning stomach with cold sweat and tension.
Е̊n̂ ù m̊ а́.і̀ d
-Then it's a shame but...... can I ask just one more thing?
"Yes."
-The other kids said. That Dad is a really bad person. They said if you're a bad person you must be punished.
"......."
-Is that really true?
Did Storeus tell Nekonata too?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But despite that, she knows the word 'thump-thump' referring to Storeus.
Who are the other kids?
Whoever they are, they seemed to be people who know Ferda well.
"It...... is probably true."
Ferda answered like that.
-I see.
Wе b̈n о v е l̊ Ёn um̊ a
Nekonata thrust her head at Ferda.
-Then I'll take you to a safe place.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She didn't ask anymore.
As if she had no interest in what Ferda is or what he did.
Nekonata gazed somewhere.
The dreamlike space split strangely, and a familiar orderly space unfolded there.

"Serdes! The path is open!"
Erica shouted like someone grabbing a lifeline.
-See you later, Dad.
"Thank you for your mercy. I hope to visit again."

Rize and Erica practically jumped out of there.
Ferda tried to go outside last.
Е̃ ñûm̊а
Then he suddenly felt a gaze and turned his head.
There, countless gazes were directed at him.
They weren't spirits.
Gazes as familiar as if they'd been watching Ferda since long ago.
Ferda instinctively realized.
'Those gazes must be the other kids.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
However, he couldn't know who they were.
'No need to know, and must not know.'
His instinct as an Archmage was telling him that.
Ferda crossed over through the portal Nekonata made.
