Absolute Dweller

So, according to the avatar's claim, even though he had ascended 100 kilometers above, the scenery around him remained the same.

The faint green life energy flowing gently from the dense forest.

It was the typical World Tree forest.

It wasn’t difficult to verify the truth of what the avatar had said.

“Jae-hyun, something’s off here.”

From Kim Geon, who had been flying towards the sky for reconnaissance:

“There’s... something strange. I can’t see the end.”

From Jeong So-ra, who had been conducting a full-range reconnaissance using the Wind Spirit:

And then...

“The terrain itself is very peculiar.”

Yoo Han-gil, who was using his Clairvoyance ability, opened his eyes and pointed to the dirt ground.

“This is... the branch of the World Tree.”

It wasn’t hard to understand what that meant.

‘...How massive is this thing?’

The forest itself was growing on the branch of the World Tree.

The dirt had accumulated on the branch, and trees and grass had grown there.

It was truly immense.

Even though over 2,000 retainers were spread out for reconnaissance, the terrain was still not showing significant bends.

What was even more peculiar was...

‘I can’t see the sky.’

Leaving aside the retainers on the ground, even those flying in the sky, including Kim Geon, should have been able to see the outlines of the forest.

Even though the forest was formed on a massive branch, there had to be a limit to the size of the trees growing there.

Yet, in this forest, it was impossible to get an overall view anywhere.

As I observed Kim Geon’s sight, it almost felt like we were constantly cutting through the undergrowth.

‘...This environment extends 100 km upwards? Is such a structure even possible?’

That wasn’t the only oddity.

“Within a 1 km radius, there are no elves. But…”

“What is it?”

“...It seems there are no traces of any living creatures at all.”

There hadn’t been a single battle in the wide area that the retainers were scouting.
