Absolute Dweller-Chapter 246

The avatar began free-falling toward the ground.

It was much faster than normal, and the secret behind this was the use of telekinesis.

He used telekinesis to eliminate air resistance.

By tearing apart the air in the direction of his fall, creating a temporary vacuum, he was able to fully embrace the force of gravity.

By the time he had fallen about halfway,

Swoosh!

He used teleportation to move closer to the World Tree’s trunk.

‘Impressive.’

I had felt this before when executing the divinity absorption test, but once again, my other self’s use of his awakening abilities was exceptional in detail.

His proficiency with telekinesis was impressive, but even more so was the teleportation that followed it.

As soon as he discovered the location of the World Tree, he didn’t teleport immediately. Instead, he waited, free-falling to minimize the mental energy consumption.

Teleportation consumes mental energy depending on the mass and distance being moved.

However, there was a hidden method of using this ability.

‘The speed at which teleportation is used affects the mental energy consumed.’

When the speed exceeded a critical point, the mental energy consumed decreased.

I didn’t fully understand the exact principle.

Perhaps the kinetic energy right before the move was being utilized somehow, or there could be some other principle at play.

Either way, the important thing was.

‘Even after traveling such a great distance, there’s no burden at all.’

This was the result of the details in his technique.

The avatar was now climbing up the trunk toward the ground.

Just like before, using telekinesis to minimize air resistance, he was using his legs, wrapped with protective gear, to kick off the World Tree’s trunk with great force.

Crack―!

Each time his feet met the trunk, the bark exploded like a burst, adding to his momentum.

The difference from before was,

Screeeee—

Arrows were flying from all directions.

However,

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Whooosh!

The arrows that were flying toward the avatar began to change direction, now hurtling toward the opposite side with fierce momentum.

And unlike before, they were now imbued with a dark blue energy.

Thwip, thwip, thwip—

[You have hunted Elf Archers (Lv. 41).]

[You have hunted Elf Archers (Lv. 40).]

[You have hunted Elf Archers (Lv. 43).]

……

……

The elves who had fired arrows at the avatar fell one by one.

‘……Huh.’

Looking only at the result, it was simply a counterattack, but the process of that counterattack was remarkable.

By activating his clairvoyance over a localized area, he was able to pinpoint the locations of the elves who had fired arrows, using telekinesis to catch the incoming arrows, applying the piercing skill to all of them, and then using his throwing skill to shoot them back.

Kim Ga-young’s Piercing skill, Ha Dong-geon’s Throwing skill.

Both were skills acquired after reaching 100 trust, but this was the first time I had seen them used in action.

‘Impressive.’

Could the avatar, who was purely a part of my mind, perform the same feats as my other self?

If I tried, it might be possible.

But it would require me to concentrate all my attention to barely replicate it.

I couldn’t do it as naturally as he did, like breathing.

‘A monster is still a monster.’

His skill in utilizing awakening abilities was like that of a seasoned veteran.

After all, that was the life he had lived.

While countering the elves who attacked him with such tricks, his gaze was fixed solely on one point.

Whooosh—

His eyes, glowing with a blue light.

His clairvoyant ability pierced through the mist and the tree bark beneath the World Tree, revealing the roots of the World Tree.

The thick roots of the World Tree were entangled, and at the center of them was a vast hollow.

It was the main base of the elves.

At that moment,

Swoosh―

He used teleportation to move to the center of that place.

The combination of clairvoyance and teleportation.

It was a combination I frequently used myself.

It was also the ability Ari, the AI, feared the most.

Because it was that deadly.

‘The heart of the World Tree is at the center of the roots.’

I vividly remembered how the World Tree came to be devoured, from the memories of my other self.

In order to devour the World Tree’s power, the core, which acts as the heart, had to be consumed.

And the heart was located right here.

“Phew.”

It was the place where the avatar had just infiltrated.

In the blink of an eye, the avatar had made it to the center of the World Tree.

The avatar muttered with a nostalgic expression.

“Back then, I struggled just to reach this point…”

I knew.

Though it was indirect, I had seen in his memories that he had entered this place after a brutal battle.

He had to kill countless elves and sacrifice many comrades’ lives before reaching this spot.

“I’m quite moved.”

With a twisted smile, he lifted his head.

Even though it was a hollow deep underground, the entire area was filled with bright light.

The light came from thick roots that acted as pillars, pouring out from the center of the vast hollow.

Thanks to the life-giving light spread by the World Tree’s roots, a small forest had grown inside the hollow, and the abundant life force created a somewhat dreamy atmosphere.

And among the trees,

“How dare you.”

Hundreds of eyes filled with intense hostility were aimed at the avatar.

“You filthy pests dare to enter the sanctuary.”

Could it be because the avatar absorbed the World Tree’s power? I was able to understand the elves’ native language.

The elves were exuding killing intent, and the avatar stared at them with a grin.

“It’s been a while.”

The clairvoyant ability, spread over a localized area, informed him of the scale of the forces surrounding him.

Hundreds of elves had formed a tight encirclement, with not even a rat able to escape.

Behind them, more hundreds of elves were drawing their bows, aiming at the avatar.

Altogether, nearly a thousand strong.

And each one exuded an intense presence.

Just the fact that they had formed this encirclement as soon as the avatar appeared hinted at their abilities.

High Elf (Lv. 51) High Elf (Lv. 50) High Elf (Lv. 51) High Elf (Lv. 52)

Each of these elves was over level 50.

And then,

Guardian of the World Tree (Lv. 62)

The guardian, who seemed to represent the elves, was a monster among monsters, surpassing level 60, the maximum for their servants.

Moreover,

Whooosh—

This was the domain of the World Tree.

And more specifically, the very center of it.

Compared to my humble domain, this place felt like home to the beings of divinity.

Even a stray dog would eat half of what’s in its own yard.

What about the domain of a being with divinity?

Whoooosh—

A powerful energy poured out from the entire forest.

The familiar green light energy.

It was the life force of the World Tree.

At the same time, the presence of the elves surrounding the avatar grew even more intense.

Despite this, the avatar remained calm.

"Surely, they’re much stronger than the ones I killed before. But—"

Without warning, the avatar disappeared and reappeared behind the Guardian.

Whoosh!

His hand pierced the Guardian’s heart.

The avatar muttered quietly.

"It’s weaker than I expected. Is this the extent of the main body’s power?"

"Wh…when…?"

The battle began with his preemptive strike.

Countless arrows shot toward him with sharp precision.

Unlike before, when he could use the arrows shot at him for counterattacks, this time it was impossible.

Each arrow was imbued with solid force, unlike the earlier arrows that had no power behind them.

Moreover, the World Tree’s life force, pouring from the sanctuary, was enhancing the elves’ abilities.

Instead of countering, the avatar used teleportation to effortlessly escape from the encirclement.

He appeared on the outer edge of the encirclement.

From there,

Whoosh!

He unleashed black energy from his fist.

And then,

Boom!

[3,000,000 gold is consumed.]

The massive, blackened fist swept through the elves.

[You have hunted High Elf (Lv. 50).]

[You have hunted High Elf (Lv. 51).]

[You have hunted High Elf (Lv. 50).]

……

……

‘Impact Burst…’

It was a technique created during battles with the undead legion.

The difference now was that the technique’s level of completion was much higher.

The scale of the technique, the amount of power behind it, the flow of energy.

Everything about it was overwhelming.

And the result was clean.

"So you were an Apostle of the Evil God!"

With the exception of the highest-level Guardian, all the High Elves had been incapacitated.

One strike had ended it all.

The avatar sent a telepathic message to the Guardian.

[Still alive?]

For a moment, the Guardian flinched, then proudly thrust out his chest and spoke.

"As long as my mother’s blessing is with me, I cannot die."

The heart that had been pierced by the avatar’s hand had now fully healed.

And then,

Whoooosh!

A green energy rushed toward the Guardian, and fairy wings appeared behind him.

It looked exactly like,

‘Just like a fairy.’

Crackling

Tree roots, sprouting from the ground, rose up next to the Guardian.

As he grabbed them, they transformed into the shape of a sword and charged at the avatar.

The Guardian, with the full support of the World Tree, charged fiercely.

But,

Impact Burst contained black energy and divinity.

Which meant, if the power was sufficient, it would be possible to shatter even the World Tree’s blessings head-on.

Whooosh!

[30,000,000 gold is consumed.]

With one Impact Burst, the Guardian’s entire body exploded.

[The avatar converts the monster’s experience and settlement rewards.]

[You gain skill points.]

[You gain skill points.]

[You gain skill points.]

Due to the avatar’s nature, he didn’t gain any experience or settlement rewards, but instead received three skill points.

After smashing all the elves in the sanctuary, the avatar calmly walked forward.

The surviving elves, terrified, retreated.

The avatar spoke to them as they fled.

[That’s enough. It’s over.]

"Tch."

The avatar clicked his tongue lightly and looked up at the center of the hollow.

The thick roots at the center.

Finding the location of the World Tree’s heart was easy.

It was where the most immense life force was pouring out.

The avatar used teleportation toward it.

Whoosh—

What had looked like a massive pillar was actually a structure formed by dozens of intertwined roots.

Pushing away the tangled roots with force, the interior was revealed.

Whoooosh—

A space full of life force.

At the center of it, something the size of a small house was situated.

It looked like a fruit, or perhaps just a root that had swollen.

Dozens of tree roots stretched out from it in every direction.

‘I found it.’

It was the heart of the World Tree.

As the avatar approached,

Crackle—

A barrier formed around the heart of the World Tree to protect it.

It was similar to the defense barrier created when a house declaration is made.

The avatar,

Whoosh!

Used the black energy to rip it apart without hesitation.

Boom!

At the same time, the roots began to tremble.

And then,

Crack!

The roots began to move and attack the avatar.

However,

Whooosh!

The moment the avatar’s body released the World Tree’s life force, the roots, which had been charging fiercely, came to a complete stop.

Step—step—

The avatar reached the heart of the World Tree without any interference.

Whoosh!

Black flames engulfed the heart.
