perhaps those who understand him may not
think this way but fear devours
rationality when people are afraid of
someone or something they feel compelled
to eliminate it as the saying goes when
the birds are gone the good bow is
hidden when the hair dies the hunting
dog is cooked once all monsters are
vanquished elong will hold no value he
may possess countless talents and
formidable power yet should he Harbor
even a hint of malice it could spark a
bloodbath a new a weapon rendered
useless can still threaten its Master
instilling fear in the wielder leading
to an inevitable outcome why long
concurs with this notion too prepare for
an impending disaster that has yet to
occur yet holds the potential to unfold
is known as prevention why long is also
preparing but his thoughts extend
further he contemplates his future
circumstances the military only sees his
present potential never considering a
retreat for him thus you long must Char
his own Escape Route he would rather
others perceive him as mediocre than
allow them to view him as a monster you
should trust us why elong merely smiled
and remained silent entrusting one's
life to others is indeed laughable there
has never been true empathy in this
world one cannot think for another as
they are not that person rather than
relying on others for salvation one
might as well pray for a miracle to
occur Theo speak bluntly those who
believe in miracles are in essence
Miracles themselves why icho may not
contemplate the future as far as elong
he is solely focused on how to reach the
hundredth floor and defeat the Creator
God yet he has never considered what
lies beyond that for he has been
prepared for death from the very
beginning or perhaps he never intended
to survive the battle against the
Creator Jodi why long does not share yo
selflessness he does not wish to live
for others for that would be too tragic
would it not his life is solely for
himself why icho seeks power to ascend
the tower and fulfill his mission to
bring an end to all this why elong
desires strength to protect himself and
those he wishes to safeguard different
starting points naturally yield
Divergent Vistas leading to distinct
contemplations yet yet one truth remains
uniring among those El long wishes to
protect is icho among those icho seeks
to save is elong chapter 378 the ancient
Soul tree today is the double n9th
Festival on the greenway Dragon
continent countless individuals gaze
towards a singular Direction the double
n9th Festival the ancient Soul tree
indeed as long as one can obtain that
object icho organizes his gear Don his
armor and charges forth into the
distance during the gaming era there
were special events such as a specific
boss that would respawn during the
double n9th Festival known as the
ancient Soul tree I grows in a desolate
area and is a living tree capable of
controlling the dead and absorbing Souls

this on the day of the double 9th
Festival throngs of people set out for
the location of the ancient Soul tree yo
is not the first to arrive a large crowd
has already gathered with some even
climbing to the treetop to pluck the
fruits yet soon others begin to attack
those who have gathered the fruits hand
it over you are courting death why say
so much let us not forget the land of
seals has always been a domain where the
strong Prevail wait icho is also here at
this moment a portion of the crowd turns
their gaze towards ichio with him
present none of us will gain an
advantage stop him ichio strides forward
