Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 993 Path To The Light Of The Tree



With full of anger and vengeance in mind, Izmir buries deep the Blood Morgan into the head of White Calamity. Izmir screams a scream that is clear enough for everyone to hear as she buries the Blood Morgan deep within its forehead, pulling it out, then stabbing it back again. Even from below, I can see her crying while doing it. She is killing the monster who killed both her parents. Even as the White Calamity's health points are brought down to zero, she doesn't stop doing it Mila has to climb to the head of the White Calamity and bring back Izmir from her sanity.

"Izmir! Stop now! That thing is dead!"

"This is not enough, Grandma! This monster should die multiple times for killing everyone in the Elven Kingdom! Even if he is dead, I won't stop killing him!"

Mila looked at Avos to silently ask for help but the latter shook his head and seemed to silently agree to let Izmir do her thing. As much as Izmir is concerned about her, she can't do anything and decides to let her keep what she is doing.

As for us, we sat down on the broken-down floor. Although the battle ended faster than expected and not as grueling as most battles we did, dealing with King Arthur was a huge pain in the arse. And if not for Cath Palug himself buffing us to quickly kill this guy, then we will not even be budging at all here.

All of a sudden, my Summon's Area portal opened up and Cath Palug once again emerged. He looked at the corpse of the White Calamity and nodded with a smug look on his face.

"Good, good. You didn't disappoint me, cretins. Though I can only say that if not for my buffs, then you little sh*ts wouldn't even be capable of bringing this f*cker down so I guess most of the credits still go to me. Still, I know where credit is due and you little sh*ts do have the skill to do so."

"So what are we going to do next? I doubt leaving the corpse of this guy here will have no consequences, what if he revives again after we leave?"

"Let me do the trick. Banishing the power that guy used into another realm is the only way to get rid of that permanently and make sure it cannot be used again. Lucky for you, I can do that myself."

"You can do that even in that form of yours?" I frowned.

"Heh, even if that bastard Merlin did seal me up like this, some of my basic functions like banishing this form of power is nothing even in this form. I am not as useless as you may think I am. Besides, I don't want to see even my own copy look dead like this. It is a disgrace even for someone like me."

Cath Palug then approached the dead body of the White Calamity. He looked up and saw Izmir still stabbing the dead body a few more times.

"Oy, slutty elf, get off there and let me do whatever I am here to do. Get in my way and you will be dragged as well."

"Who are you calling 'Slutty?!' And I am not yet done so leave me alone."

"You little sh*t, continue what you were doing later on once I am done with this. You can stab a whole lot of sh*t for the whole day and I won't care once this is done. So get the f*ck off this fake body and get the f*ck out of here before I send your *ss somewhere that cannot be recovered anymore."

"Ugh! F*CK YOU!" Izmir angrily pulled the Blood Morgan off of the White Calamity's forehead and jumped back to the ground.

As for Cath Palug, he just stood in front of the dead body and had energy similar to when he gave all of us a buff from his power and distinctively similar to how he was when he was in the giant form but a little calmer and weaker.

His body glowed red and the body of the White Calamity is covered in the red color as well. Then, a surge of energy suddenly shook the surroundings. It felt like we were experiencing a very strong earthquake all of a sudden.

Without warning, the whole body of the White Calamity exploded in light and it spread all over the place. But as fast as it appeared, it is also as fast as it disappeared as well. Then, the body of the White Calamity disappeared and one body of a person returned.

It was King Arthur's body. Then, Cath Palug turned to look at Izmir standing nearby.

"My task here is done. If you want to continue what you were doing, then do it on this body. It is a good idea to make sure that guy is dead. Who knows he might have just been pretending to be dead."

After that the Summon's Area portal opened again and Cath Palug looked at us one more time with a smug look on his face, he entered the portal with a snark remark as his sign of an exit.

"Bye, f*cking losers."

And with that, the portal closed. As for Izmir, she returned to the dead body of King Arthur and proceeded to stab it with the Blood Morgan without a single hesitation. The moment the Blood Morgan pierces through his body, his body undergoes a big change. One that we didn't expect.

His body shape changed and his face also changed as well which soon reformed to a different face that Riko, Pandora, and I knew. I wasn't expecting it in the slightest and even the other two were surprised as well. After all, the last time we saw him was during the rebellion arc of Luminous Continent and how we rebelled against the church and destroyed it in the process. During the end of the war, he disappeared without a trace, and from the last time I heard, he was branded as the one who led the rebellion and the one who exposed the lies and deception the church imposed on people and the whole populace of Luminous Continent.

However, why is he here and how come he transitioned from King Arthur into him now? And the fact that he is now dead just confused me a lot more.

"Isn't that Alain?" Pandora frowned.

"Yeah, I can't mistake that face, that's Alain alright. But how come he is here? The last time I saw him was during the rebellion of the Luminous Continent and then, he disappeared. Couldn't believe he was dead now. But why is he here instead of King Arthur, don't tell me King Arthur managed to slip off again?"

That's when Queen Tanya approached and inspected the corpse.

"No. This feeling is familiar and I can't mistake it. This is a dark resurrection magic."

"Dark Resurrection Magic?" I frowned. This is the first time I heard of this term.

"Yes. It is a forbidden spell used to revive someone or maybe even someone else who knows the spell has died can use it as well. Although different from necromancy, it doesn't change that it is reviving the dead. The only difference is that this spell will instead revive the one who should be revived by taking over an available body as its vessel instead of using its own body and rising up from the dead which would result in the creation of the undead."

"Then..."

"Yes. Based on the magic alone, maybe this guy knows this spell and used it, or maybe King Arthur used it when he died and was resurrected and this guy was caught up in the spell and as a result, his body was used as the vessel itself. It's not a wonder he would be the dead body now."

"Then...we just killed someone innocent?" Riko was shocked.

Queen Tanya can only shake her head.

"The only thing we can do is bury his body. As for King Arthur, I don't know about him but according to the tales, those who have been revived by the spell or used the spell cannot use it again to revive the same person again so if the revived person dies again, then he or she will no longer live again which also means King Arthur is forever dead now."

Izmir slumped to the floor and started crying.

"Mom...Dad...I finally avenged the two of you, and all of the people of the kingdom. Not only by me but with everyone else as well... we have avenged your deaths. Now please rest in peace everyone and may your souls depart to a better place."

Izmir sent her prayers to the souls of the deceased and Mila and Avos hugged Izmir while Renatta went close to her but didn't join the family hug. She only smiled with a tear in her eye.

But then, Alena and Labo suddenly caught our attention when they started calling us.

"Everyone, we are sorry to interrupt but look!"

We turned to look at what they were talking about and we saw the branch of the Tree of Life glowing with a path of light that extends over like a road. It looks similar to when we are tracking King Arthur but this time around, it is different. Even without the intervention of both Alena and Labo, the branch continues to grow brightly.

"What is happening?!" Renatta frowned.

That's when I followed the path of the light coming from the branch and decided to follow it. The others seem to have also noticed this and decided to follow as well which leads us back outside the ruins though the path does not end there. Not only that but a spectacle appeared before us.

For the first time in my life, a giant tree appeared on the horizon, glowing from the dark sky, illuminating the whole place like a giant sun, soaking the world in light. It isn't just towering tree height, but it is something that was so big, it seemed like it was growing at the center of the Earth.

As all of us marveled at the tree, the Walking Mansion arrived briefly and stopped when it was near us. Then, Almira started screaming at the speaker.

" Whatever you guys are planning to do right now, postpone it and use this chance to go! Get in now! We can't afford to lose this race! We have to go and race to the Tree of Life as soon as possible!"
