"Now use all our accumulated essence and stat points to heal the tree"

    Before this Apollo''s stat points were 563,947, this number was already less since he still went on to use some for upgrading his attributes.

    Even with the accumulated essence from the entire eastern kingdoms, the young mage didn''t want to take chances so he re-converted his stat points back to being an essence, and only left 3000 in case he needed it.

    The surrounding mana inside and outside of the World tree suddenly hums as if someone is calling them. However it wasn''t a normal mana but instead the residual mana of the deceased, in short, essence. They flew all across the borders of the kingdoms of the east, in order to aid the command of a certain boy.

    As the essence gathers a spell buried deep within the system''s archive suddenly revives. The young mage then began to chant, it was a language that didn''t seem to exist in Bunag. An old speech that no one speaks and only a couple of mages knew its use.

    "RELIFE"

    The boy chanted and the sky finally revealed a massive magical sphere that enveloped the eastern part of the continent.

    While the abundance of essence swarm towards the boy the entire kingdom of Valoria felt the exponential growth of mana in the surrounding.

    "What it could have happened?"

    The King asked as his body trembled due to the sudden tremendous amount of mana.

    The people felt it as well and soon the dense amount of mana manifested physically. A veil of fog escalated and travelled towards the holy ground of the World Tree.

    "Da quod ablatum est et sana quod vulneratum est, cum hoc sacrificio quod sumpsi, ut restituas quod furtum est."

    Apollo continued chanting and each beat of essences gave color to the slowly dying tree. The gnarled and cracked trunk slowly heals no longer looking dried. The bark that is peeling away in large, irregular patches, became rough and rugged again. The branches stretched out like skeletal fingers devoid of any leaves now slowly becoming thick and lush.

    The remaining foliage sparse and wilted slowly regain a different color. And the roots exposed and tangled, struggling to anchor the tree in the ground had now become muscular and slowly held off the land.

    "Nomen mihi est Apollo imperium meum ausculta" Apollo lastly said, and the magical sphere that floats on top of dozens of kingdoms in the east began to cascade downward. It first shrunk and landed on top of the boy''s head while powerful energy gathered in his hand.

    "Amend the mistake" he said inside his head and finally the spell was fully cast.

    The Life that was lost due to the Crusaders was returned however Apollo wasn''t done yet.

    The heart was damaged to some degree so he decided to use the remaining essence to heal it.

    "Slowly and gently" he told himself, then the mana inside his palms began to condense and floated towards the golden heart of the World tree.

    {Apollo?}

    As the heart regains its strength a presence begins to speak. Fondly Apollo answered that voice.

    "Yes Elaria"

    A calm gentle wind glides from the heart to Apollo, and that wind suddenly turns into a person. With golden flocks of hair and galaxy-like eyes, a girl with fair skin and a shining aura suddenly arrives.

    Upon her arrival the spirits rejoice and while the nine spirits that came for Apollo all look surprised when they witness the scene.

    "Did our young master just hug Goddess Elaria"

    "I think he did Ifrit"

    While they remain dumbfounded Apollo couldn''t help but gasp at the sight of the newly rejunized World Tree. Everything was glowing while the spirits would fly and light the entire hollow space.

    Suddenly a vision struck Apollo, as if he had seen this scene a very long time ago.

    "I really been here before" he realized though he still couldn''t remember everything completely.

    The scene was quite unbelievable however everything was settled, Apollo was able to heal the world tree and remove the blockade that prevented Elaria from healing herself.

    As soon as she confirms it is her son she immediately locks him in her arms.

    "I am happy you are safe"

    "Mom since when did you arrive here"

    "Just a few minutes after you went inside, I tried to get here as soon as I heard the news you were coming here"

    "I''m sorry for worrying you"

    "I told you worrying is part of being a mother" Then she gently kissed his forehead then finally letting him go.

    "You are tired my son I can tell, you can visit this place again tomorrow but for now rest"

    The young mage just nodded and immediately followed everyone to rest.

    .

    .

    Inside the barracks provided by the imperial army Apollo peacefully sleeps while Isabella stands beside his bed.

    "Young one you have been using a diagnostic spell on your son for quite some time now. I told you he is fine"

    Alger convinced her but the worried mother wanted to make sure no injuries could affect her son.

    "I didn''t know he was a part of this mission"

    "Well obviously I hid it from you"

    Isabella wanted to argue but knowing Alger she decided to be quiet.

    "I really thought I lost him there" Her voice felt weak as she said those words.

    "I told you to trust him"

    "You are saying that but I know you are worried as well. I am sure at some point you tried to stop him"

    Alger just chuckles at her statement she hits the target well.

    "I did think that way, but knowing Apollo I know he can definitely handle it"

    The young senior mage could only look at his son''s sleeping before finally deciding to rest as well.

    "Are you going to tell him what happened?" before Isabella could even leave Alger gave such a question making her halt.

    "I don''t really need to say it to him since he is here"

    The head of the mage tower can''t help but shake his head.

    "I never even notice him"

    "It''s because he didn''t want to cause trouble, though his main purpose here is killing some rats that snuck inside the World tree a while ago"

    "Ah, now that I remember Apollo and I did hear that news from one of the soldiers. To think it was him who dealt them"

    "Head lets go we need to let my son rest"

    "Alright alright I''ll leave"
