Chapter 133.1. Battle With Gerer!
-Miu’s POV-
The crushed Iron Clump Ivy falls to the ground. We cleared all the Enhanced Thorn Princesses blocking our way.
The small fry came in droves, but the party with Grandpa Odin and Frigg-oneesan was powerful. They were no match for us, and it was a bonus stage for earning proficiency.
We made our way through dozens of meters of caverns, where Odin destroyed the ivy that formed the walls, deactivating the hidden mechanical sensors, and we arrived at the laboratory where Gerer was.
The same strategy as in the game, and I see the same scene as in the game.
However, I don’t intend for it to end the same way as the game.
How did I get here so easily?
Takano Miu has game specification powers. If she defeats the middle boss, she can teleport there.
In recent games, to avoid stressing out casual players by attacking dungeons, there will either be a shortcut pathway to the point where you have conquered, or you can teleport there.
There are no long dungeons with no save points, as in the old days, where you had to conquer a high tower, defeat Four Heavenly Kings in another world, and then fight a final boss, as in the old days.
In the Night of Magic game version, it’s the latter pattern. You can teleport to the room where you defeated Thorn Princes. Even if Odin isn’t in the room at the time, he can teleport to the place where Miu moved to because he’s in my party.
Even if it’s not the person who uses the teleportation, as long as someone in the party reaches the point, there is no problem.
-Gerer’s Botanical Gardens, Thorn Princess’s Room-
From the list that appeared, Odin, with a wry smile, made a selection with a flick of his finger and did the transfer. The rest was a straight line to Gerer’s laboratory.
As we entered the lab, Gerer asked with a startled look. Unlike in the game, she wasn’t waiting for me and was upset.
“Hey, who are you? What brings you to the Concubine’s Botanical Garden?”
I step forward and raise one hand in a swoosh.
“My name is Loki. I’m here to tour this botanical garden.”
“Loki?”
“Yeah, this botanical garden is a possible illegal facility. I’m sorry, but we’ll have to give you a tour.”
I tell her with a grin and a ferocious smile.
“Loki,……, you’re Takano Miu, aren’t you?”
It’s the girl’s voice I had heard earlier, with her petite frame. Gerer can only think of me as Takano Miu, and she looks puzzled.
“If that’s how you see it, that’s fine.”
With a huff, I peek my double teeth out of my mouth and smile ferociously like a bird of prey that has found its prey.
Gerer sees my smile, keeps her mouth shut, and shuts up. She felt an intense power completely different from the Takano Miu she knew.
“I see. It’s so different. The air you have isn’t the air of a girl. It’s not the air that a girl has. At least, it’s different from the girl I’ve been observing who is a recovering magician. Loki… Are you the real Loki?”
“You can judge for yourself if I’m real. A botanical garden warden with bad taste?”
Gerer built the warden’s office at the base of a huge tree. It was the trunk of what looked like several twisted and tangled trees, as thick and overgrown as a skyscraper, with branches covering the ceiling, like a dome. In the darkness, light flowers blooming from the ivy entwined in the branches of the trees gave a vague idea of its full extent.
Above all, the huge tree in front of us was emitting a suspicious red light from the gaps between the tangled trunks.
And on the tree branches, numerous flowers were blooming, and fruit was growing.
Gerer quickly subsided his upset expression and began to laugh loudly, as befitting a boss.
“Kuhahaha!! This land was just the right soil for Evil Tree of Life. It has grown so big in such a short time.”
Gerer says in ecstasy, hugging herself with both hands. My sarcasm didn’t seem to work at all.
“Hmmm, a botanical garden in poor taste.”
“Those trees. You must be getting a lot of nourishment from them.”
Frigg looked bored, while Odin seemed somewhat interested. Neither of them showed any signs of disgust. Well, that’s a god-like reaction.
“Isn’t it wonderful? Look at those flowers. You don’t see flowers that beautiful very often.”
“There’s no use in trying to provoke us, Gerer. We’re all about being calm and collected.”
At the center of many flowers was the face of a person who contorted their face with an anguished expression. No, it’s not attached. Their faces are sticking out from among the flowers.
That’s the end of those who have been absorbed by evil tree of life. Even in death, their souls are still trapped by evil tree of life.
“Oh? But I sense an air of anger from you. Did you not enjoy the flowers?”
“Yes, I’m feeling angry. I might be furious. Those flowers are illegal.”
I’m angry. The sight makes me want to throw up.
“Well, how about some berries? I’ll pick some delicious-looking berries for you, hmm?”
Gerer teases me and points her finger at the tree. She’s trying to make us angry so that we won’t act calmly.
But it pisses me off. I’m annoyed by all of Gerer’s observations of us in her pacing tone.
“That fruit is forbidden, Gerer.”
“Oh yeah? I think they’re very ripe.”
These fruits grow on the evil tree of life. That fruits are human brains. A spinal cord extends from the branches of the tree, and to prove that it’s alive, blood drips from the brain and pools on the ground.
Best of all, the brain had eyeballs on it, moving busily. It was still conscious.
“Hmm, a system in poor taste. You tried to connect the human mentality. I see. You were trying to achieve mental immortality by connecting the human mentality.”
“! You can tell just by looking at this… Who are you?”
Odin saw the ivy crawling on its brain and immediately recognized its use. Gerer gets blindsided by that statement. But it was easy for Odin.
