They are happy to hear this, especially, the old elves.
Sensing their current condition, they can only sigh in disappointment.
"Then, my queen, it seems that this is goodbye from us."
"Wait! Don’t use that move yet! We no longer need it, besides, don’t forget, our mother tree is going to be revived, once she does, she will release massive amounts of energy, the closer you are to her, the greater the effect, I suggest that you lie besides her."
Hearing her reasons, the old elves were stunned.
Camella added. "Even if it doesn’t work, you guys can still be buried next to her, fulfilling your duty as guardians, protecting her until the end."
The old elves are leaning more towards to what Camella had said.
They can understand their current condition more than anyone, they don’t think that they can recover anymore.
If their mother tree was in her peak condition, they are confident that she can help them but since she is still recovering such chance is quite low.
Still, those that can still move just fine carries them back home and covers themselves with illusion using magic so that no one can see their current appearance.
When the elf queen feels the gentle power of their mother tree, her expression eases up.
"This, you know that I had never felt the gentle kisses of our mother tree but I always imagine what it feels like." Camella speaks while stuttering.
"And?" Her friend, Marie, asks.
"This surpasses what I ever experienced, I don’t think my men can endure such feeling." Tears falls down on her eyes.
"No, some of your men will definitely endure it, they are those that have mothers in their life, Camella, this is what a gentle love of a mother feels like, don’t fight it, embrace it."
Camella, who was an orphan and was raised in a clearly rough household was stunned.
This is what her past self has been desperately searching for.
No wonder she feels different when she was transferred in this world, the mother tree was already giving her love but because of her condition, she hadn’t really notice it before.
"How!?" Suddenly, one of the dying old elves was stunned, the injuries of his soul was actually recovering.
"Don’t underestimate our mother tree, it’s one of the oldest tree of life in our alliance, the only reason why we hadn’t reached the high rank status is because she was suffering from those bxstards’ attacks and curses."
"My queen, we should pay back what we had been experiencing all of these years." Luminese proposes which everyone actually agrees on.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already found a battlefield that we can participate but unfortunately, only Innates can go on that world."
"What!? Why choose that world!?" Marie was taken aback, she thought that her sword can once again feast on the blood of the demon race.
"Don’t worry, after a couple more decades, the chances of that world reaching middle tier is quite high, we don’t really need to wait for that long."
"My queen, I apologize for criticizing you but you can’t truly predict if a world can reaching a higher tier." One of the old elves states, this was common knowledge.
Camella frowns and asks. "Wait, it couldn’t be their world, isn’t it?"
"Oh? It seems that Camella already discovered the truth, yes, it’s his world."
"Then, I can stake my life that his world will definitely reach the middle tier, the only question is when."
"Probably when he and his pet beasts reaches the Innate Realm."
"His pet beasts?"
"I’ll tell you all about it after this for now, let us watch him try his best to help our mother tree recover."
"Help our mother recover?" Other than their queen and Camella, everyone unconsciously turns their gaze towards Sean.
Sean! The human world! The Miracle Child!
"You mean the battlefield you’re talking about is in his world!?"
"Yes! We power him too much! As citizens of this world and as those that carries the proud elven bloodline, we repay our favors!"
"Tsk! Now that you said it, this only makes me more frustrated that we can’t fight in that world." Marie mutters.
Camella and Luminese secretly agrees with her words, they owe him too much.
"Yep, I can now understand why my queen and Camella are confident that the world they had chosen will reach the middle tier."
"The child full of miracles, invincible amongst his rank peers, the immortal and undying warrior. No matter what title you give him, it wouldn’t be enough to estimate his strength and potential."
*****
’I had underestimated them, they are still able to carry themselves!’ Sean was shocked to see that none of them are on the verge of breaking.
They are now drowning in their sweat but none are thinking of letting go, even the arrogant prince was gritting his teeth and pushing his energy to the max just to send more energy into their mother tree.
"Hold on! Noon is coming! It’s when the sun is at it’s peak! Survive that and you can survive the next few hours! One hour of total power!" He shouts at them repeatedly.
He knows that they can’t hear him if he speaks normally since they are totally focused.
Still, giving them a goal and a deadline will fire up their determination.
One hour! They just need to survive that and they succeeded in surviving the most dangerous time of their lives.
The queen hearing him shouts becomes nervous, so did everyone else.
They prayed more intensely, hoping that their faith will help these young men.
"You guys can do it, you guys can do it." Even Marie was silently giving her support to the young men.
Camella watches anxiously, she was scratching herself because of nervousness.
The sun reached its peak, suddenly, a blazing golden light seemingly descends from the sky and arrives at Sean’s body.
The ten men screams as they feel their entire body being scorched.
Their blood was boiling but they can’t let go of the tree.
Sean has already made preparations for this, that’s why they are called sacrifices, even if they can’t go on any longer, they aren’t able to let go of the tree even if they wanted to.
Their fate is sealed the moment they are chosen and the moment they agreed to become sacrifices.
Endure it and survive, becoming the next generation guardians or die and become true sacrifice.
"Hold on!" He doesn’t want them to die, he wasn’t cruel but he knows that this is the only way to go.
It would had been better if there are more of them but it would only make the tree of life’s attention more spread.
He didn’t tell anyone this because he doesn’t want to cause some chaos but the ten individuals are being protected by the tree of life herself.
She was generating small life force towards them, increasing their vitality while absorbing theirs.
The long hair of the ten male elves were set ablaze by golden flames.
They are screaming until their voices are hoarse, many of them can feel that they can’t go on any longer.
"Now! Use healing magic of the life force and nature attributes to help them!" Luminese shouts.
The priestesses, who were already ready moves and green gentle light descends on the ten individuals.
This doesn’t have any obvious effect since the power of yang energy Sean is giving to them contains immense life force.
What the healing power does is give a soothing effect to these men while not breaking their focus.
"Don’t lose yourself! Keep pushing on!" One of the male elves seems to be buckling down, he wasn’t even the last place holder, he’s the seventh in ranking.
One of the prince’s men, unfortunately, since he submitted to the prince because of the allure of money, his willpower isn’t really that great.
He was burned into a crisp, transforming into golden ashes that flows inside of the tree of life.
Even his soul is transformed into nutrients, seeing this, Sean’s expression becomes ugly.
With one of them dying, the intensity that the other nine will experience will only grow stronger.
"Shxt! Don’t give up! If you do, the others will suffer more! Hold on!" He roars, the other nine can understand his words as they feel their bodies seemingly burning more intensely.
The constant heat increases abruptly, causing them to groan.
Many of them curses the person that died, him being too weak causes them to suffer.
They are now starting to get afraid, not because they don’t have confidence in themselves but they aren’t confident on the capability of the other members of their group.
"Come on! Just half an hour! Survive this and you guys can survive the next following hours! The heat will go down!"
They roar, trying to give themselves a boost in confidence.
Sean can sense that the vitality of the tree of life stabilizing, it’s now absorbing the spiritual energy in the air, transforming them into water that cools her down.
’Yes! The treatment worked! Just a couple more hours and she doesn’t need me in order to survive anymore!’
Their skin cracked because of the intense energy inside their bodies but they didn’t let go.
They don’t even have sweat anymore as all of them turns into vapor.
As they are on the verge of failing, the heat starts to go down, it’s still intense but not as life-threatening as before.
"Congratulations to all of you, you survived the most dangerous time, use this opportunity to increase your strength and receive the blessings of your mother tree."
Just as they were stunned, a rush of power surges into their body, the feeling was absolutely thrilling.
The injuries in their bodies starts to recover in rapid speed.
Not only them, the elves and every living being nearby felt their power increasing.
There’s only one individual that didn’t receive any blessing and that’s Sean, the blessing doesn’t have any effect on his current constitution but he can use this opportunity to increase the power of two of his runes.
[Congratulations! The Rune of Life and the Rune of Nature has ranked up!]
