The Time-Stop Breeding Uncle Want's to Retire - Chapter 78

Translated By Arcane Translations

To elves, trees were a sacred symbol.
Trees and vegetation combined to create the forest, and it was in these forests that elves were born and able to live.
Thus, to elves, lumberjacks were enemies to be defeated and essentially villains.
Yet Cluna, a forest guardian, had directly summoned a lumberjack.
Soon, a giant made of earth and vegetation emerged from beneath Clunas feet.
Somehow, I ended up standing next to it.
Cluna looked at me and said,
I express my gratitude, Commander.
Huh?
Thanks to you, Ive been able to end this long-standing feud.
Im glad if I was of help.
This time, even I, thick-skinned as I was, felt many pangs in my conscience.
That was because I truly hadnt done anything this time.
At most, I had just rolled around on the ground
Moreover, because I had even used time acceleration in the middle, I really couldnt be of any help now.
Forcibly swallowing the blood that had filled my mouth, I said to her.
Do we have a chance of winning?
At best, maybe a 40% chance.
Hey.
For a moment, I almost swore out loud.
You made me suffer like that for just a 40% chance?
Are you crazy?
However, for safetys sake, I couldnt blurt that out.
I first calmed my emotions and searched my mind for words that were as similar as possible to what I wanted to say, but wouldnt provoke her.
Since I was weaker, I had to be the one to watch my words.
What a dirty world.
40%, that doesnt seem like enough.
The opponent is still the World Tree. It has magical power accumulated over eons.
Is it difficult to handle that?
Yes, but the Giant Woodcutter should be capable enough.
I nodded.
After all, the Giant Woodcutter was a spell Cluna had created over hundreds of years solely to defeat the World Tree.
At least, that was what she claimed.
Of course, Cluna wasnt a professional mage, but she was still a companion of the first hero, with knowledge, experience, and magical power enough to easily crush any ordinary mage.
To begin with, the Giant Woodcutter she had just created was a monstrous spell that defied common sense in this world.
Soon, the Giant Woodcutter Cluna had created immediately began to act.
The Giant Woodcutter swung the massive tree it held in its hand, cutting off the roots of the World Tree.
The World Trees roots, which had been regenerating so well before, were now completely severed by the axe and no longer regenerated.
Does it have the power to suppress regeneration?
Its a spell created by analyzing the traces of the World Tree. Ill explain the details later.
You dont have to explain later, its fine.
I wouldnt understand anyway.
Besides, if we defeated the World Tree, there would be no reason to use this spell again.
The Giant Woodcutter enthusiastically continued to chop and chop at the tree roots.
In the end, a tree is a tree. If you completely destroy the roots, it has no choice but to wither.
The problem is that the World Tree wont just watch this happen.
Thats right.
Well, it was already trying to kill me, so how could it be a corrupted World Tree if it just stood still?
If it had even a bit of sense left, the World Tree might have chosen to die, but unfortunately, according to Clunas explanation, the World Tree before us had already been corrupted by pollution and was merely continuing its life activities.
In other words, its mental faculties were already dead.
That was why it kept consuming sacrifices so grotesquely to continue its life activities, but now, that too would come to an end.
Surely the forest giant Cluna had created would definitively cut off its lifeline!
Cluna.
Yes?
It seems the giants arm has been cut off.
Thats correct.
I turned my head.
I could see where one arm had been severed by the World Trees counterattack.
Why did we lack regenerative abilities while only the enemy had them?
I sincerely wished for a balance patch.
The World Tree, which would obviously never comply with such a patch, wielded its roots even more vigorously.
Now it deliberately used its roots to completely bind the body of the giant Cluna had summoned.
What did that mean?
It meant we could no longer do anything.
I looked at Cluna, who had been worryingly silent for a while.
Please, say something, anything.
The World Trees resistance is much fiercer than I expected.
Is there another way?
Yes, there is. I didnt use this spell for nothing, after all.
Right, of course.
Of course.
This was a spell Cluna had created specifically to counter the World Tree.
It couldnt possibly end in such a state.
So please, use it quickly.
The giant was still being bound by the roots.
Damn it!
Commander, excuse me for a moment.
What?
This is just in case. There are no personal feelings involved.
Wait, hold on!!
I wondered what she was suddenly talking about, when Cluna suddenly embraced me.
That itself wasnt a problem.
The issue was that it was in a princess carry position.
As a result, it was embarrassing.
Because I roughly knew what Cluna was trying to do, I didnt resist.
And, as expected, Cluna threw herself from atop the giant towards the ground.
Updatd frm eewenvel.com.
I couldnt even scream.
I was so shocked that my heart nearly stopped.
Of course, Cluna easily used magic to land on the ground.
A gentle breeze lightly prevented our fall to our deaths.
Damn it.
Whew, somehow its been resolved.
Yes, thanks to you, Commander.
What are you suddenly saying?
Thank you for believing in me until the end, Commander.
Ah.
I looked up.
Cracks began to appear in the giant that had been half-consumed by the World Tree, light began to emerge, and soon a massive explosion occurred where the giant had been.
If it werent for the barrier Cluna had created, I would have used time stop with this broken body, carried Cluna on my back, and run like hell.
I had expected it, but to think it was really self-destruction.
The World Tree, which had half-absorbed the giant, was completely caught in the self-destruction and perished.
Moreover, for the scale of the explosion, the damage to the surroundings was very minimal.
Of course, there wasnt zero damage.
What kind of power did you use?
I developed magic thats antithetical to the corrupted World Tree. I just packed the formula for that magic inside the giant.
So the cracks appeared, and the suppressed magic burst like a bomb.
Thats right. And this is the result.
Cluna and I searched the area where the World Tree had been, just in case.
The roots of the World Tree might still be alive, but no roots of the World Tree remained.
After confirming the complete annihilation of the World Tree, I finally relaxed.
And because of that, I could confirm that my current physical state wasnt normal.
My legs lost strength, and my posture collapsed.
Commander!!
I-Im fine. *cough*
You dont look fine at all!
Unusually, the smile had disappeared from Clunas lips.
She must have been tired herself, but despite that, she used healing magic to treat me.
Thanks to that, the pain was greatly reduced.
Theres something Ive been curious about for a while.
What is it?
Why dont you take care of your own body, Commander?
Thts
Of course, I know you have your circumstances. But please value your body a little more.
Suddenly saying that, I had merely suffered self-harm as a penalty for using time acceleration.
Other than that, I hadnt been hit even once.
If I had been hit even once, I would have died instantly.
However, because Cluna persistently kept demanding an answer, I had to give at least a perfunctory response.
Anyway, after dealing with the World Tree, we walked back towards the elven forest.
Mother!! Commander!!
Clara! Youre safe!!
Thats a relief.
Soon, we saw Clara running towards us from not too far away.
Once the situation had ended and things had calmed down a bit, it seemed she had run here from the village without resting.
I took a step back.
I didnt want to unnecessarily interfere with the touching mother-daughter reunion.
Just as Clara and Clunas reunion was taking place, a shout was heard from behind.
Cluna! So youve finally ended us!!
Though their appearance was relatively young, judging by their manner of speech, they seemed to be the elders Cluna had mentioned.
Since they rudely interrupted the mother-daughter reunion, I had no choice but to step forward and block them.
And who are you?!
Dont interfere as you please.
Ridiculous! Because of those people, weve been put in a position where we have to worry about tomorrow!

Then what are we supposed to do?!
It was a sincere cry of despair, but I couldnt understand.
Was it right to continue sacrificing living people, intoxicated by the false peace obtained through offerings?
Do it yourself. Whether its managing the forest or protecting it.
What?
Stop relying on others.

I coldly rebuked them.
