Chapter 711 - The Green IV

The three of them are following Mariposa's lead as she is the only one able to sense the Compound Eye Orb. It gave a unique vibration that Adrian could even pick up, but something happened that he did not expect.

[Your soulbound Kanlaon got fatally wounded by an unknown enemy.]

[Your soulbound Kanlaon has died. His soul will rest inside of you for a specific time duration.]

It has only been about twenty minutes, but Kanlaon already got killed. He did not know who killed Kanlaon as even his dragon did not notice who that was. It meant that someone powerful is present in this very stronghold.

"Kanlaon got killed. The one who killed him did not even get revealed. I fear that a demigod level power is present in this city." Adrian stated which shocked Mariposa.

"That quickly? Even a level 200 NPC would have difficulty killing Kanlaon if he would focus on dodging." Mariposa stated as she knew that killing a dragon is no easy task or killing any soulbound for that matter.

In a battle between a summoner and another job class, the wisest choice for them should have been to aim for the summoner first rather than kill the soulbounds. Monsters tend to have better endurance and sturdiness compared to their summoner.

The fact that someone killed Kanlaon that quickly meant that they could go toe to toe with a demigod. Killing a dragon without being noticed meant that they are strong enough to land a killing blow in a span of a second.

"We must hurry then." Mariposa stated as they started to move faster.

"I just fear that the moment we unveil ourselves from the shadows will be our doom. That demigod level entity might immediately sense our presences. I bet they are scanning the whole stronghold right now." Adrian stated but Mariposa could only agree with him.

They pushed through the whole underground complex of the treasury. It seems that guards are not that popular in this area, but they noticed that dozens of monster plants are present as a form of security. These plants are a mixture of screeching plants and toxic plants in order to signal to the guards that someone snuck in and poison who ever managed to sneak inside.

A few minutes later, they reached the end of the treasury and there are three other passageways. Mariposa pointed that the middle one is where she could feel the vibrations the most and that the Compound Eye Orb is where the signal is the strongest. They headed to that passageway, but Adrian told Mariposa something that shocked her before they passed through.

Poison Ivy is actually present when the dragon attacked the stronghold and some of her plants that she raised died due to the vicious assault of the dragon. Thankfully, her teacher is also present in the stronghold when the attack happened or else more damages would incur.

The dragon easily evaded the anti-aerial weapons that the Plantae used which led to the dragon rampaging and destroying more than they could account for. Her teacher easily disposed of the dragon when she noticed the blind spot of the dragon the moment it evaded a large thorn.

Even she is shocked that her teacher managed to kill a dragon with one shot, but she knew that her teacher used one of her ultimate skills. Her teacher is a member of the Flora Knights and is famed for being the personal guards of the Plantae Queen herself.

"As expected of teacher, you were able to dispose of a dragon with one attack." Poison Ivy praised but her teacher is still vigilant.

"The fact that a dragon is here is what worries me, my student. It is also not of the nature element which means that it is not a child of that dragon that lives in the forbidden domain. It might have entered our world ad started to rampage when it could not find a way to escape." The Rose Knight, Rosei, stated.

"That dragon does look familiar. I think I have seen that dragon before as there are not many dragons that can use both the fire and water elements." Poison Ivy stated and then she remembered that a certain famous summoner that is currently in the limelight is the owner of the dragon. She also remembered that the summoner is somewhat acquainted with her rival, Mariposa.

"That bitch!" Poison Ivy shouted internally as she started to think of the possibility.

Poison Ivy then looked at the entire area of the stronghold and noticed that the attack is actually far from the stronghold's treasury. She could swear that this attack is deliberate as the number of guards that came from that area to assist is great in number.

She does not want to admit it, but the defenses of the Plantae are close to impenetrable which led to their race being overly confident that they will not be conquered. But in her mind, the Plantae has never encountered a demon before despite having knowledge of their race.

"Master! I think that the dragon is a soulbound of a demon. They might have been aiming for the treasury." Poison Ivy stated as she could feel that the player Equinox is most definitely the source of the disturbance. If it was a demon, then they might actually slip from the defenses of the Plantae since their defenses were built to hinder Insectoids.

"Even if they get inside of the treasury, one of the pets of her majesty is guarding there. Even a demon would fear the horror that will be inflicted upon them." Rosei stated as she believed that the defenses of the treasury are also near impossible to breakthrough.

"What if an Insectoid is actually leading the demon? I have a bad feeling about this, master." Poison Ivy stated as she knows that the pet that her master is talking about is just a graft of the original. It is only 60% of the original's strength.

"If that is what you are worried about then we will go inside the treasury. I do need to present the head of the one responsible for all this destruction to her majesty.." Rosei stated as she and her student headed to the treasury.
