Rise Of The Eternal King 20 Inside The Great Tree

[It is very much real. There is a record of it inside of the Elf Queen's Room right beside you. The writings are very old and it is an authentic valuable.]

Saito remained quiet as he heard that 'Heh… So, it is real huh. But this is surprising, I never thought that you could search up inside of the rooms into which I have never been.'

[It is within my capability but it takes the minimum of 2 days and the time extends depending on the area.]

Saito nodded his head and asked Iris 'Then what about the seal on the Nature Vein. Where is it? Can I break it?'

[The seal on the Nature Vein is underground, directly under the Great Tree. It only seems to have a single pa.s.sage; master needs to fly up and enter the tree from that specific hole. The seal is easily breakable, I have already a.n.a.lyzed it. You need to use the Nature Magic and the h.e.l.l Flames. Nature magic will let the h.e.l.l Flames pa.s.s through and the h.e.l.l Flames will destroy the seal.]

Saito raised his eyebrow at that 'This is strange. I need to use the flames mutated from the Demonic Magic to break the seal? How could the Elf Queen even design such a seal that it needs the Demonic Magic to break the seal? It doesn't seem like the Elves can use any other magic except for the Nature magic much less the Demonic Magic, so how!?"

[Master, the seal seems to be drawing power from the thing trapped within it. It seems to be active by absorbing the power from the Nature's Vein and the thing trapped within it.]

Saito was curious now, he asked Iris 'What is that thing trapped inside Iris?'

Iris replied back quickly [I do not know of that beast master. It is not in my records at all and the seal is also interfering with my a.n.a.lysis. However, I do not recommend you to unseal it, it is releasing a very dangerous aura. Even after being sealed for more than 10000 years, its aura is no less dangerous than the Great Demon King Zoldron whom you first encountered in this world.]

Saito was silent at the name of the Great Demon King Zoldron. He started thinking of that Great Demon King 'He must have already become Demon Lord by now. He is probably a lot stronger than I can imagine. And if this beast that has been trapped for 10000 years is still so powerful. I can't even picture it at its peak!'

He saw the Elf Queen sitting on her throne in the hall. She seemed to be thinking of something important and instantly snapped her eyes open when she saw Saito approaching her with a neutral look on his face.

As Saito approached her body, Elf Queen made no moves and continued to sit there with a relaxed smile, she asked him with a hint of worry, "Sir Edwin, what makes you come here so early in the morning. Were you looking for me?"

Saito nodded his head and said, "Yes, I wanted to inform you that I am ready to break the seal on the Nature's Vein. In these days here, I have concluded that your words are genuine even though I didn't believe them before. Please apologize me for that."

She hastily stood up and voiced out, "Please don't apologize Sir Edwin. You were right in having your suspicions after the way we treated you."

Saito nodded his head and said, "I can't really blame the elves, I guess. You all must have been treated badly by the humans when you go into the human kingdoms, it's natural the elves would hold the ill feelings. Do not worry Elf Queen, I am not mad at all. The misunderstand is in the past. What I want to talk about is not this but something else."

The Elf Queen nodded and requested him, "Please speak your mind Sir Edwin. I would like to dispel all your doubts that I can."

Saito didn't hold himself back and asked her, "Elf Queen, I will try my best to break the seal for you. Tell me when we should go."

The Elf Queen's eyes widened at the declaration, she answered, "Let's go immediately. I have already informed the ministers that if you manage to break the seal, this whole elf kingdom is yours."

Saito's eyes widened at her words, he quickly says, "No need for that Elf Queen. I do not want to have this Elf Kingdom. Don't get me wrong, it's great and all but I am not suited to be the king of this palace. Please continue to lead it as before…"

The Elf Queen didn't speak for a second before she asked him, "Then what shall you want as a present Sir Edwin?"

Saito smiled at her words and coughed a bit, "Your daughter's hand in marriage is pretty good present for me Elf Queen."

Elf Queen nodded her head and says, "Very well, you both shall be wed when my daughter is of 17 years old. We can hold an engagement in a week though."

Saito was delighted to hear that, he excitedly nodded a few times and said, "That's good. I had the same plan actually."

Elf Queen even added something, "Even though you won't accept the kingdom. You will still have the t.i.tle as the Nature's Champion, your word will hold the same importance as mine."

Saito didn't have any reason to reject this and nodded, "Very well. I agree. I think we should go then. I would like to get this over soon."

The Elf Queen also nodded and said, "Follow me." She was about to use her magic spell Fly when she saw Saito using the same spell as her and he seemed to be as familiar with it as she was.

She didn't comment on it and both of them went outside of the building, flying high up to find the entrance to the pa.s.sage for the underground Vein.

There was simply no light inside of the Great Tree, Saito continued to fly down and down but he thought that it was a never-ending depth.

He was sure that with this speed, they were underground. However, Saito was not worried because he heard Iris say [Just 1000 miles left between master and the seal.]

They continued to go down the tree and they finally saw a bluish colored light radiating from there. It was very faint from the distance but as they drew closer, it was getting brighter.

Their feet finally touched the ground and Saito felt relieved. He thought with a strange stiffness in his muscles 'd.a.m.n… That took us a lot of time. Just how much underground is it? If it was earth, I think I would have reached near the limit of the crust by now.'

Elf Queen pointed at the seal there. The bluish color which they noticed from afar seemed to be because of the seal. Saito monitored the seal and couldn't help but be amazed.

It was in the shape of a beautiful blue colored dome, he could see a tint of red color from the inside and thought 'This must be the demonic energy strengthening this barrier or seal, whatever. The demonic barrier within this huge nature barrier must be used to prevent the Demonic beast to be able to get out.;

Saito starts to deeply a.n.a.lyze the making of this seal 'The demonic magic barrier inside the Natural Magic barrier must be weakening the attacks of the demonic beast when it attempts to get out. The barrier is made from its own energy, even if it uses a strong forbidden attack and manages to make the attack break through the demonic magic barrier, it won't be able to break the Nature magic barrier which is powered by the Nature Vein.'

'For the same reason, the Elves cannot break it since even if their strongest attacks manage to break the Nature Magic's Barrier, it must be weakened enough that it cannot pa.s.s the Demonic Magic barrier. This one barrier is acting as two barriers both co-existing with each other, supporting each other.'
