When I woke up I was lying on a bed, when I looked towards the nearest window I realized it was dark outside.
"How long have I been unconscious?" (I)
"For half a day." (Hinata)
"Elf Queen Lolth had to bring you." (Orion)
"Please say she didn't carry me in her arms..." (I)
"She brought the lord floating after her." (Orion)
"(At least not duo carried like a princess, that would be too humiliating.)" (I)
I lift my head which is still aching a little, I remember what I was doing before I lost consciousness.
"I think it was too much for my mind." (I)
"No mind, your soul couldn't stand it, I felt it." (Hinata)
"But I forced the separation before I did the damage." (Hinata)
"Thank you, Hinata." (I)
"There aren't many Fairies or Spirits here, so go gather the others, Orion." (I)
Orion runs out and cocks out the window, but then comes back stopping at the window.
"Forgot to tell you, but Nix has already opened a Dungeon gate here in the village." (Orion)
"Alright, we have nothing to hide for now." (I)
After warning me, Orion jumped out the window again.
Less than 1 hour later my room was full of people, they were all leaders within the Dungeon, mostly people from my group.
I told them about what this Monster Wave would be like, and told him that the plans we've been making for the last month are going to have to be reviewed.
For starters all my Familiars will be together with me near the World Tree, only they already count as more than half of the Dungeon's strength in combat, but I know that near the World Tree will be the worst place as it will have the highest concentration of energy, I will need a more powerful small group that can protect me, they will also need to be able to withstand the chaotic environment that this place has become.
The rest of my group will split in two with each group leading half the people of the Dungeon, one half will fight inside the village, and the other half will fight together with the people of this village against the monsters coming from outside.
Queen Lolth has already told me about her months' preparations, I must say that she must have spent a fortune on her preparations.
I gave responsibilities to some people, for example, Vanessa will lead a group focused on saving seriously injured people, Irina will help weaker groups with their barriers and Athena will lead her companions to rescue groups that are unable to continue fighting.
These three groups will be of great importance, all agreed, we are already lucky enough that High Priest Henrique helped with his lifesaving bracelets.
I had never heard of these items before, but it seems to be a high value item that only the Church of Death is capable of producing, the irem is destroyed in place of the person using the item dies, and its use may be unique, but it saves one person in moments when death is certain.
Henry needed Anton and Lyra's help to make thousands of these items, enough for the people of the Dungeon and this village.
Unfortunately, such a miracle item can only be used once a month after showing its effect, but that will be enough to reduce the number of deaths, I hope.
Henrique said this is just this one time, these items need the Blessing of the Goddess Kalistos to work, their number is usually limited with only a few exceptions.
This time it will be one of those exceptions, but it will be the only one, after that the production will only be 100 per week.
After solving everything I told everyone to make their final preparations, but Freya would have to stay with me.
After everyone left, I stood up and looked at Freya.
"I'm going to need your help, are you ready?" (I)
"Yes, master Zenos." (Freya)
"Nix opened the Dungeon because in the morning the non-combatant people will take refuge inside the Dungeon, I want you to tell Leo and Caryna to take care of it." (I)
"You and I will be busy for a week, so finish your preparations and talk to your daughter." (I)
"All this has already been done, Nix warned me and I imagined what you would ask for, everything is already done." (Freya)
"Your competence surprises me as always." (I)
The next day I, my Familiars, Freya, and the Elf Queen Lolth head towards the temple of the World Tree.
"Thank you for allowing people to take refuge in your dungeon, I know it must be inconvenient for you." (Queen Lolth)
"That was the only safe way to do it, with battles going on in the village, it would be impossible to fight having to defend normal people." (I)
"All we can do is leave it in someone else's hands now." (I)
With that we arrived at that temple again, as soon as we entered I noticed a different presence, there was also a person standing at the door.
It wasn't actually a person, it was a humanoid silhouette of multicolored energy, the same shape I saw when I talked to the World Tree Spirit yesterday.
"Great World Tree." (Queen Lolth)
Queen Lolth kneels in front of the World Tree Spirit, but the World Tree Spirit just runs a hand through her hair.
"My little one, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble." (World Tree Spirit)
"Don't say that big World Tree, we're so close to solving this situation." (Queen Lolth)
"I can't say how much of this can be resolved, a lot of me has already been corrupted, my power is fading every second, I can't even create a spirit body to stay." (World Tree Spirit)
"Soon you will be fine, that is the wish of everyone in this village." (Queen Lolth)
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have a lot to do." (I)
We all follow the World Tree Spirit to where that colossal sick tree is, everyone stays close to the World Tree Spirit as we get close to a zone where the roots are.
"This is where it will start, so it will be easier to absorb my energy and devour this body." (World Tree Spirit)
"Everyone in your positions, let's get started right away." (I)
I close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm myself before pulling out the cube where the wooden body that Elf Queen Luthien created to be the vessel of this World Tree's Spirit.
I look at the others waving at me and then I look at the crystal (World Tree Seed) on the back of my hand, it was already glowing and a whirlwind of energy was running through my hand, it feels like the seed knows it has reached an hour.
