Chapter 4071: Demonic Tree II
CLANNNNG!
I defended with my sword, but five more came, with one from the front and four from the two
sides.
I moved to the dodge the ones on my left, while moving my sword to defend against the branch from the front and moved my shield to the right to branches from the right.
Rip!
A ripping sound rang out as one branch of the left cut through my armor from my shoulder.
One of its thorns touched my arm and made a cut.
It was small, but that was all it needed to send pure crystal purple energy into my body.
It was so powerful, that I felt scared and doubted whether my measures would work or not. They felt too powerful and ready to crystalize me as they did to everything.
The measure I had prepared activated immediately.
The sphere made of wholly ancient rune formation lip up and swallowed the energy of the thorn released it. Including sealing the part of my body through which energy entered.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
My body would be able to handle that much, but I don't want to take the risk.
I have seen what this energy could do and have no wish to let it happen. Especially now, that I have seen what the slightest touch from it could do.
It had effortlessly broken through my armor.
This might not be a string of armor, but it is damn powerful, but against its branches, there was no resistance. If it reached my chest or some critical parts, I could forget about surviving
it.
CLANNNNG CLANNNNG!
My shield defended against it before the branches came at me again.
My sword clashed against one branch while barely dodging the two branches that came at me the same moment.
I could see the vitality of the tree; the frost burst wouldn't have been enough.
I didn't even mention the monsters. Hundreds are very close to the limit, and they would attack it without a doubt.
I am safe, because of the small balls, that had sealed the area around the tree.
It is trying to send the signal to them, but it is sealed, but not for long. It is not easy to keep the energy sealed, while there are also agitating monsters.
Yes, the monsters are agitating as they find their connection to the tree has been blocked.
This is not just affecting them mentally, but also physically. The purple energies inside them which were peaceful are agitating as well.
Once the tree is dead. The monsters won't and everything here won't be able to live for long.
It's why, I had sent a few more messaging crystals out of the dome and warned them to move as far as possible.
They shouldn't be close to the tree.
If I am able to kill, a lot of things will happen. I don't know whether I will survive it.
This is not a monster that, I could simply kill.
This semi-hive tree had created a quasi-spatial realm that would collapse with its death and getting out that time would be a challenge.
Before that, I need to kill it which itself is a complex task.
It was supposed to be easy, but additional details had appeared, which made the whole task
complicated.
I really wish I could have just backed off and let the Prime handle it.
To them, it wouldn't have been much complicated. They would have simply blasted it apart
and everything would have been fine.
I don't have such power.
So, I will have to do it with long and dangerous way. Since the escape isn't an option anymore.
