Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Reaper Mod League

All elves are equal.

But some elves are even more equal than others. Elven society is ostensibly oriented towards equality, but sometimes some elves forget that others have to take out the trash.

Even in elven society, there are bound to be people who are in charge of trivial, lowly, or, to be more precise, tasks that are valued as such. Elfina, a janitor who has been cleaning the streets since morning moaning, frowned at the loud noise.

Kugugugugung!

The whole sky and the earth turned upside down, and there was a series of roars that I would never want to hear in my life.

If this place was not Elvenheim, but Islands and Grantera, the big city would have changed its nationality to the underworld in less than an hour.

Nevertheless, the shield of the World Tree remained intact. That has nothing to do with the magnitude of the force.

The law of the universe is a law set by the universe. That law is a great iron rule that anyone in the universe must follow.

“Oh, I’m going to die from being so noisy in the morning.”

After plugging her ear canals with earplugs, she continued what she was doing. He continued brushing without any fuss.

There is a saying that ignorance is the greatest contempt. Elfina treated the Demon King just like that. Of course, she didn’t have the courage to do that from the beginning.

When the Demon King first appeared outside the protective barrier, she was terrified. It wasn’t just her, it was everyone else.

The elves, who had caused a mass panic, realized that their fears were in fact unfounded only when he withdrew.

The second time, I was less afraid. On the third visit, there was even an elf who seemed relaxed.

And the fourth, fifth… As this continued, the number of elves who did not care whether the demon king came or not began to increase at some point.

Devil? come or not

Some elves, even the primordial demon lord, fell into arrogance, saying that they had no choice. They are a group of spectators sitting on the branches of the World Tree in the distance and watching the Demon King.

The existence of this demon king, who was trying to get rid of them somehow, was rather fun. Every time an attack came in, they clapped.

What is the exhilarating pleasure when even the Demon King retreats without fulfilling his purpose! Seeing how clearly they were trying to build themselves but couldn’t even touch a single hair, they relieved their stress and clapped.

They giggled as if they were watching some grand performance. There were even elves secretly waiting for the day the demon king would come. To them, the Demon King was nothing more than entertainment to soothe their boring life.

Among all the equal elves, the most equal high elf, Kania, stretched out gracefully in response. She was leaning her back against the World Tree to enjoy the view.

“Because it’s nonsense. No matter how many times I do this, it just fails and returns, it doesn’t mean anything.”

“I just failed and went back, but there was a meaning.”

But what about this? Now this demon lord had no intention of going back.

It is true that this is the 23rd challenge. However, if the previous twenty-two were just meaningless failures, it is not.

During those twenty-two years, I faced the protection of the World Tree with all my might, and I realized that this law is already a dead law and no amendments can be made.

The previous attacks were mere exploration battles, and only this one is real. Grimudo snorted and spit out something. As if to spit out phlegm, there was no great preparation or foreshadowing.

“Are you going to spit and leave? I’ll have to clean it again.”

Elfina, who was cleaning, grumbled. However, the color is a bit dark for sputum.

No one felt threatened by such a small thing. Until it casually crosses the barrier of the World Tree and falls to the ground.

it’s just that kind of thing. Nothing exploded, and the barrier didn’t break. But the laughter stopped in an instant. The fear of the Demon King, who had been forgotten, perhaps, had been neglecting, suddenly began to rise.

“…that one?”

It was as natural as a thrown stone falling to the ground. Kania’s eyes narrowed when she saw that it had passed through the barrier of the World Tree without any resistance.

It was dyed pitch-black, but its form did not change. Neither the others nor the elves were unaware of it.

“Three, the fruit of the world tree?!”

But I still couldn’t believe it. The fruit of the World Tree, as they knew it, was something that shouldn’t be discolored like this.

What is the fruit of the world tree? It is an object that contains some of the laws of the universe that are fundamentally different from the fruits produced by ordinary trees.

In short, it contains some of the divinity of the Old Gods. Even if a person swallows something like this, it cannot be digested at all, so it has no choice but to go out through the buttocks.

That is not something that even the Demon King can do. Even Grimudo’s purplish heukganggi couldn’t color this fruit as dark.

“You must have seen everything I did as meaningless, foolish, and insignificant.”

The Demon King closed his eyes. It took less than ten seconds to spit it out, but he spent nearly a hundred years trying to put it into practice today. Depending on the point of view, it could be seen as more than that.

After colliding with the barrier of the World Tree for so many years, the Demon King studied the barrier with his own body. After research, a hypothesis was formulated. Wouldn’t it be impossible to pass through the barrier of the world tree, which is like invincibility, if it was an object with the same properties?

For example, since the fruit of the world tree has the same origin as the world tree, it is still a part of the world tree even after it has been condensed into the shape of a fruit. Therefore, this fruit can be mixed with the world tree without any alienation.

Based on that hypothesis, he collected things from the World Tree, and luckily took over the fruit of the World Tree from his apprentice in Citadel.

He still remembers the day when Andolph McLiren offered to provide the fruit of the World Tree. Thanks to you, I was able to erase the elves before this cycle came.

“Like you said, there were a lot of trial and error. Even though I got the fruit at the best, I couldn’t use it, so I was terrified.”

The demon king’s recollection was long and long. This victory today was, in fact, nothing more than a human victory. It was never achieved with little effort.

The moment the fruit passed through the barrier, even the demon king was moved. In fact, a sense of fulfillment engulfed my whole body after a long time. Now it’s enough to just wait and see. All I have to do is watch.

“Is this the twenty-second time? At that time, I tried to pass the barrier while eating the fruit of the world tree, but it didn’t work. So I decided to write another way.”

“Another… in what way?”

Black smoke rises from the fruit. It was cold enough to feel chilly, different from the smoke coming out of something burning.

The elves who were close to the fruit quickly spread their distance. Just by looking at it, it was smoke that seemed to happen when it touched the body. I didn’t want to touch a single finger, let alone drink such a thing.

High Elves and Kania couldn’t relax any more. She hurriedly descended from the World Tree and sank to the ground.

Before the fruit of the World Tree emits more strange energy, it was intended to be sealed somehow, whether buried in the ground or trapped by the wind.

“I assumed that the fruit of the World Tree was part of the divinity of the Old Gods, and I thought about it a bit. The answer was not far away. The only thing that can be harmonized with the divine is the divine. So I melted my divinity into the fruit of the World Tree.”

“What, what?!”

The brave elf who was talking about beer snacks earlier spewed out beer and shook his hand as if he had tremor. He poked at him with his trembling hands.

“does not make sense! You are the Demon King! How could you be a god?!”

“Why, if I wanted to become a god, I don’t think I could have done it. it just didn’t To me, being born again as a god is nothing but deterioration.”

The Demon King laughed. I just chuckled. It is something that he cannot understand at all, but there are people on the continent who serve him.

Serving does not give you strong power. The truth is, people who have never seen a face, never talked to him, never handed a penny believe in him.

Although the number is not large in terms of relative proportion, it is by no means small in terms of absolute population.

Such faith was small but steady, and continued over hundreds of thousands of years.

Humans are not the first race to give their faith to him, and even before the last cycle, there were heretic sons who worshiped Grimudo.

That belief was never mainstream, but never went away. Rather, the faith dedicated to those who were desperate enough to serve the Demon King, has accumulated over the years.

Still, humans do something of abstinence. And once they are caught in the grimodo, socially they cannot avoid being buried, and they may be buried alive, so there is no significant increase in the proportion of believers.

But what about demons? The demons, who are initially rejected by all gods, want to pray, but there is no one to believe in and no one to listen to their prayers.

They had a very well-formed idol in front of them. The strongest beings that those who worship power would be enthusiastic about existed, not in legends, but in this reality.

So, the Demon King, if he wanted to, could have been reborn as a demon for a long time. But it didn’t. If he offered to make an ordinary person a god, he would accept it with tears, but the Demon King kicked it with his own feet even when such an opportunity came for free.

Because I already knew that a god, especially a personal god, wasn’t really a big deal. When you become a god, you have various powers and you can use the divine power, but all of them are premised on the supply and demand of faith.

Since he is already a self-existent being, he will try to use a power that is not very important if he considers it. Grimudo had no interest in the place at all.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, he separated all of the faith he had gained and condensed it into divinity. By infusing that divinity into the fruit of the world tree, a new god with the attributes of the world tree was born.

ssssss…

What those who believed in Grimudo were hoping for was a existence that would break down the current absurd world and open up a new one. Since he was a god made by condensing such beliefs, of course, that kind of god appeared.

A god who colors and destroys the world. Although it is a type of Shinigami, it is a god with a different level of danger and level from the Shinigami that have appeared so far!

“Hey, what is this…?”

Kania screamed as she approached to seal the fruit of the World Tree. As a high elf in her clan, she is a master-class being in human terms.

But I didn’t touch it, I just felt a terrible touch the moment I approached it. Darkness was rising slowly over her pure white skin.

The skin that used to be white jade is dyed like jet black. The gorgeous blonde hair also turned black. Grimudo smiled at the sight. It’s not the way I thought it would, but it’s good.

Damn it!

Whether it was the god who destroyed the elves or the god who made the elves not elves, he served his purpose anyway. The fruit of the World Tree, which was never destroyed or broken, slowly began to crack and break.

The black child, more like a shadow than a human, sticks his head out of the fruit like a chick hatching from an egg. A reaper created by the Demon King himself was revealed.

It looked as if it had been reduced to a small size of Grimudo, and looked at all directions with sharp eyes. Then, seeing the demon king, he harbored a strong hostility in his eyes.

like that or not.

The demon king smiled and greeted this child he had created.

“Congratulations on your birth. Mod League.”

This child’s name is Modrig.

He is the reaper of pollution who pollutes the world and assimilates it into his own.
