The day after Selesina and the others arrived safely at the Rinklat House, they began to work on the big tree that had not bloomed.
However, there was not much Selesina could do but pray for success.ć
Present were Selesina, Hisui, Toi, Basell, Asalge, and Oswell.
Lucaria and Hel stood together in front of a large tree that had never bloomed.
It was growing so fast that it was over two meters tall. Itās no wonder that Selesinaās heart was filled with impatience, as she knew she had to take action as soon as possible.
Ā
āThis is another huge one thatās going to break your bonesā¦..ā
Ā
Hel stared at him distantly and looked up to the sky. The weather was clear, not a single black cloud in sight, no chance of rain.
Ā
āBut we canāt just leave it like this. If it continues to grow, it could have a negative impact on the earth.ā
āI understand.ā
Ā
Selesina gasped at Lucariaās words. It seems that when the great never-blooming tree keeps growing, more trouble than we thought will happen.
Hel turns to me and says, āAlright then.ā
Ā
āIām going to kill the big tree that never bloomed. Itās a big one, so itāll take quite a while, butā¦.. shouldnāt be a problem.ā
āThank you for your help, Master Hel, Master Lucaria.ā
Ā
As Basell bowed, Selesina and the others bowed as well.
Ā
(ā¦ā¦it means that Hel will kill the big tree, right?)
Ā
As Selesina watched them with excitement, Hel closed his eyes and touched the great tree that had not bloomed. Immediately, the air around them trembled.
The tree, which looked as if it was rejecting Hel, seemed to have a will of its own.
Ā
āO God, my protector, take away the life force of the great tree that never bloomed.ā
Ā
Something black erupted from the part of Helās hand that touched the blossomless tree. It spread to the area around them and came towards Selesina and the others.
Then he felt dizzy. This is probably the thing that was making him feel sick.
Ā
(I start to feel sick tooā¦ā¦)
Ā
If we continue to be exposed to it, we might be in trouble, but Hel is much closer to it.
I wondered if he would be okay, even though he looked weak. When Selesina turned around, Hel was just wobbling around.
Ā
āWatch outā¦ā¦!ā
Ā
Before Selesina could react, Lucaria supported Helās back to prevent him from falling.
He then said a prayer.
Ā
āI am a servant of Baldur, God of Light, and I pray that you may give us light to protect us from the great tree that has taken root and defiled this land.ā
Ā
As Lucaria spun his prayer, the grass and flowers on the ground softly swayed.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the āNovel Multiverse dot comā website @ novelmultiverse.com]
And then a soft light began to shine down, and Baldur, the God of Light, protected Selesina and the others from the black stuff of the unblooming giant tree.
Ā
(Alright, it feels less creepy nowā¦ā¦)
Ā
The faint glow of Lucaria appears to be so holy, he even looks like a god himself.
Ā
Hel, on the other hand, seems to have been able to recover with the help of Lucariaās blessings. He continues to absorb the life force of the great unblooming tree.
But he is still wobbly, so it must be very painful.
Ā
(Thatās right, even though itās a non-blooming tree⦠it was also a big tree to begin with.)
Ā
As I was looking at them praying, rain clouds suddenly came over my head. Even though it had been sunny just a few minutes agoā¦
But because of this, the power of Lucariaās blessing was visibly weakened. Helās suffering also seemed to be increasing.
Ā
āThe rainā¦ā¦ā
āIāll get you an umbrella as soon as I can.ā
Ā
Hisui ran quickly to the house to get an umbrella.
The rain clouds were huge and it was not going to stop for a while. If it continues like this, it may hinder us from dealing with the big tree that never bloomed.
Ā
(Anyway, thereās nothing you can do about the weatherā¦ā¦)
Ā
Even with an umbrella, if the rain clouds donāt disappear, the power of Lucariaās protection will remain weak.
Ā
I wish I could do something to help, Selesina thought.
But the choice of the goddess of fate, Norn, did not come up in the great tree that never bloomed. Iām starting to feel closer to my blessings, but I canāt use them freely yet.
Ā
However, she could at least support Helās back, couldnāt she? Thinking this, Selesina stepped forward.
Ā
āLady Selesina?ā
āI may not be able to help you, but I could support youā¦ā¦.ā
Ā
Saying that, Selesina supported Helās back together with Lucaria. But there was nothing more they could do.
Hel, who had been in pain, giggled.
Ā
āHuh, ha ā¦ā¦ Thank you, Selesina. I think I can do it.ā
Thank you, Lady Selesina. Will you pray with me? Iām sure your voice will be heard.ā
āYes.ā
Ā
Selesina closed her eyes and prayed to Norn, the Goddess of Fate, who was inside her. Iām sure sheāll be able to hear me.
At that moment, Selesinaās left eye glowed baby pink, and an option appeared.
ā½Which option will you choose?
The rain never stops, and the big tree that never blooms takes root.
The sun shines, and the great tree that never blooms withers.
Ā
ā I saw my destiny.
Ā
āNo, of course not.ā
Ā
Feeling her heart beating faster, Selesina made her choice.
Ā
If the rain doesnāt stop, the great tree that never blooms will take root.
If the sun shines, the tree withers.
Ā
āLet the āfateā of the great tree that never bloomed witherā¦ā¦!ā
Ā
The moment Selesina said this, the rain clouds above her head scattered.
At the same time as a clear sky appeared, the great tree without bloom withered away and disappeared.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the āNovel Multiverse dot comā website @ novelmultiverse.com]
