Will of chaos

Chapter 457 Cap 455: Luthien’s Gift(Chapter Preview)



It’s already dusk and I’m walking down the green marble path towards the platform where the Elf Queen is waiting for me.

“I didn’t expect you to show up before dark.” (Luthien)

“During the night I have to help people get back to the Dungeon with the others.” (I)

“Well, it doesn’t matter since it’s been over for a while.” (Luthien)

“What are you talking about? Why did you want me to come here?” (I)

“I have something for you, I’ve been working on it for the last few months.” (Luthien)

“Becoming an Ancient Elf made me do a better job, honestly I’m really proud of what I did.” (Luthien)

“What are you talking about?” (I)

The Elf Queen waves her hand making the space beside her ripple then a large crystal cube comes out of those ripples in space and lands heavily on the platform where we are.

This crystal cube had an amber color, it didn’t look like a normal crystal, it actually looked like crystallized amber, there also seemed to be a silhouette inside the amber.

“…” (I) .𝙘𝙤𝙢

“That’s what I wanted to give you.” (Luthien)

“What is this? Also what silhouette is that inside?” (I)

“I think I need to explain myself better.” (Luthien)

The Elf Queen walks over to a sofa on the right side of the green platform and invites me to sit on the sofa in front of her.

“You still remember our request to you and the reason you were going to the Dark Continent, right?” (Luthien)

“Yes, the death of a World Tree on the Dark Continent and I have to take a World Tree Seed there.” (I)

“Exactly, now do you remember the question you asked that day?” (Luthien)

“…” (I)

I close my eyes and cross my arms trying to remember that day, but I can’t remember anything very specific.

“(What did I say that day?)” (me)

“I don’t remember anything specific, did I say something wrong that day?” (I)

“That day when you learned of the Dark Continent World Tree’s death, you asked if you could not save it with your power.” (Luthien)

“I thought it was impossible until you realized you were saying something unrealistic at the time.” (Luthien)

“I think that really happened, I remember you saying it was impossible.” (I)

“Normally that would be the case, but what you said gave Luth an idea, an idea to save the spirit of the World Tree.” (Luthien)

“But that’s only if it’s still your desire to help.” (Luthien)

“I imagine this amber cube and this silhouette has something to do with it.” (I)

“Yes, I’ve worked hard on it, but it’s up to you to decide whether or not to help.” (Luthien)

“I offered my help once and would do it again, what do I need to do?” (I)

My answer brings a big smile to the Elf Queen’s face.

“I used all my skills and knowledge that Luth passed on to me to create this Doll-type Golem.” (Luthien)

“It was made using parts of the World Tree, it used parts of the real body and the bark, this was necessary for the body to support the spirit of a World Tree.” (Luthien)

“This crystal you’re looking at was made using sap from the bark of the World Tree along with various techniques, it’s also full of stored energy that will be consumed when you wake up, so you won’t be in danger.” (Luthien)

“But you must understand something, whatever you become after awakening, you will no longer be a World Tree.” (Luthien)

“You will save her spirit and give her new life while healing her wounded soul, but you will transform her into something other than a World Tree.” (Luthien)

“That’s a relief for me, I don’t know if I would like to have a World Tree attached to me like you, it seems that it has a lot of restrictions that I don’t need.” (I)

“I’ll explain what you need to do…” (Luthien)

———-

After that, she said that the moment I finish planting the seed of the World Tree I will need the help of the spirit of the World Tree to create a core using this amber crystal while the spirit enters this body that the Fairy Queen created.

After listening to the explanations I asked some questions about my doubts, I also asked why I couldn’t keep this amber crystal cube in my storage item, but it seems that I can only use a space element magic for that.

As I’m not very good at manipulating the space element, I ask Layla to keep this for me.

After that, I speak one last time with the Elf Queen before departing for my other tasks.

Pov Luthien:

After Zenos leaves with the cube, Luth appears beside me smiling.

“He took it easier than expected.” (I)

“I thought he might refuse or at least be reluctant.” (I)

“After all he’s learned about the World Trees, he respects what we do and realizes the importance of our existence.” (Luth)

“He’s someone who tends to avoid trouble, yet he still offered to use his power on a World Tree knowing it was something that would get him into a lot of trouble sooner or later.” (Luth)

“He respects you and me, I think he wants to do it because of the sadness you showed that day.” (I)

“You’re wrong, he wants to do this simply because he thinks it’s right, nothing more and nothing less.” (Luth)

“Are you sure it’s that simple?” (I)

“Zenos is someone simpler than you think.” (Luth)

“If he wants to do something, then he just does it, whether he has a reason for it or not.” (Luth)

“That’s one of the reasons he’s so unpredictable.” (Luth)

“Do you think he will succeed?” (I)

“Even with the materials I used in building that Doll, even with the energy you stored in that cube, and even with Zenos’ help, the chances of the Dark Continent’s World Tree spirit are low.” (I)

“This body, even if powerful enough to contain a World Tree spirit, may not be compatible.” (I)

“Furthermore, the spirit itself is already seriously injured, even if it gets a new body it will still meet death as we have no guarantee that Zenos can heal these wounds in the soul.” (I)

“I believe everything will end well, he is someone who managed to surprise even me, so have a little more faith, Luthien.” (Luth)
