Chapter 292: Ent of Malediction

The trees started coming alive and started to reveal their monster nature. They started to uproot themselves and a loud roar is heard when the biggest of the tree monsters rose. The monsters that uprooted themselves were different from treants as their wooden bodies are more human like.

The tree itself morphed into a more humanoid shape unlike the treants that keep their tree form. The monsters were ents. A type of humanoid giants made of trees which are said to be the opposite of treants because of their more violent nature.

Its body is said to be sturdy due to being perfectly nourished to the point that it does not easily catch on fire. It is said to be weak to sudden outburst of intense temperatures. This type of ent lives in forests that is filled with nourishment.

Monster: Ent of Malediction (Mini-boss)

Level: 135

HP: 20,000,000 / 20,000,000

MP: 10,000,000 / 10,000,000

Description: A type of ent that has special properties of using curse magic. Its whole body is filled with a curse that can either save or destroy life in an area. It is said that the ent is said to be warlock that has been transformed by the Goddess of Life as punishment for desecrating life. It saps the life force of anyone that intrudes its resting place.

The tree ents have differing characteristics. The desiccated ent looks like a humanoid giant with dead bark as skin that shows sign of dehydration. It also emits a low growl that saps the nutrients of the ground below it but its complexion does not even improve despite it being firmly rooted to the ground. The desiccated ent's face looks like that of an old person due to its condition.

The lush ent is the opposite of the dessicated ent as it has lively green leaves acting as hair that covered it until its back. The bark it had is brown without signs of decay or bruising. The face of the lush ents look like that of a human that is at its prime about late twenties. Its body is also covered in flowers of differing colors.

The Ent of Malediction is different from the other two because it is bigger and looked sturdier than the other ents. The lush ent and the desiccated ent are about three meters tall but the Ent of Malediction is five meters tall. The face of the Ent of Malediction is also reminiscent of someone in the late thirties.

The Ent of Maldeiction also has a combination of the two ents' body. Some parts were dry while some is lively. The part of the Ent of Malediction that resembles hair is made of bramble. There are also shoulder blades that are made of pointy bark. Its body looks like it is covered with armor made from bark.

The ents might be large but they move like what you expect from trees which is slow. Although the ents may be slow, their strength is mightier than a hundred a standard human. Each stomp of the ents would cause minor tremors due to both their sheer strength and weight.

"With their numbers, it would be impossible to handle them with our fighting force." Adrian stated as he immediately used a skill.

"Soul Recall! Let us just hope that I get something good this time." Adrian stated.

A magic circle appeared on the ground that had black and red lines with a crest of a dog type beast. Intense flames then surged from the magic circle as a three meter hound with flames at its back manifested. Every player would know this type of dog monster because it is very famous in RPGs.

"Hellhound!" Levin Cloud shouted.

The three meter dog monster that Adrian summoned was a hellhound from Tartarus. The hellhound had scales that protected it from the fire continuously blazing at its back. Its eyes are also blazing red that its stare would make you burst into flames. Most importantly, the hellhound can breathe fire.

[You have summoned a hellhound from Tartarus.]

[The stats of the hellhound will be adjusted to your level of 150.]

[Current abilities that the hellhound can use is: Breath of Hellfire, Magma Domain, and Burn Out.]

Adrian told the hellhound to deal with the desiccated ents because it would be very effective against them. Kanlaon would deal with the lush ents while Sirius and Adrian will deal with the Ent of Malediction. Charon, Saena and Levin Cloud will be for support.

"Charon use Soul Siphon and distribute the barrier equally to all of us." Adrian commanded via Soul Link.

Charon rose high up and some ents tried to reach out for him but their hands just phased through. Charon the used his skill and a blue sphere of light enveloped the area. The normal ents lost about 15% to 20% of their total health while the mini boss lost about 8% of its total health.

Charon's skill seemed to have been somewhat fixed in a sense because it did not do a fixed number like before. It was now a random number from 0% to 20% depending on the type of opponent. A large shield value is given to everyone.

Adrian and his group are doing battle while some people are looking at them with eyes of hidden killing intent.
