Chapter 1079 Quest Complete

-----

After all the damage it sustained and once I shattered its core, the giant tree monster breathed its last. When it died, it even collapsed on the ground as if it couldn't even hold itself standing without the Mana flowing across its body, generating a loud thud that broke through the dungeon walls behind and almost made the destabilized ceiling above fall over us.

BAAAM!

Ding!

[You and your party have defeated [Mutated Yggdrasil Clone (Tier 9)] x1!]

[You earned 30.000.000 EXP]

Oh, that was much more EXP than I imagined at first. 30 Million for a Tier 9 Monster... Wait, maybe it is below average? I haven't really beaten any monster in that Rank on my own to truly know how much EXP they can give fully.

After all, the EXP I earn when I slay a strong foe with everyone is only a part of it, because I can only get the full part if I defeat it alone, without any outside help. Familiars and Spirits don't count in this calculation though, for some reason.

But that wasn't everything either, aside from the big amounts of EXP and the rescued Slimes, the quest that popped up out of nowhere back then was completed.

Ding!

[You have Completed the [Special Quest]: [Defeat The Mutated Yggdrasil Clone Tree and Save the Slimes!]

The sword, Scarlet, has gotten this strong thanks to acquiring a System, she gained skills to absorb materials by herself, I haven't really upgraded her or anything, she was also a creation of the Witch.

Well, I better focus on what's going on right now. I quickly ran towards the direction where everyone gathered, Pyuku leaping out of my body and rushing to see his siblings within Shade's shadows.

"The slimes! Are they okay?!" He asked desperately.

"They're sleeping for now." Shade said. "Faylen, can you heal them?"

"There's nothing I cannot heal." My mother smiled proudly. "I've already healed their lack of nutrients and stamina. I'm now supplying them with Mana so they can restore their former mass. It'll take some time though, so let's take a break. Should we camp inside this cave? Now that the ceiling broke off, there's some light coming from above, so it doesn't look too bad."

"Sure, let's camp for now." My father agreed. "Guys, you fine with that?"

"Yeah, no problem." Nepheline nodded, while analyzing the giant tree. "This big tree though, what the hell was this thing?"

"I can sense a strong aura from it even after it died." Ninhursag said. "An Aura very similar to that big tree Sylphy turned into her Familiar."

"I've already analyzed it." My mother commented. "Apparently, this is an Yggdrasil Tree... Or well, more like a clone of it. A mutant monster born from a failed clone of the Yggdrasil Tree. I could assume the Gods were trying to create their own Yggdrasil by trying to clone the one from this world. I'm glad to know they failed miserably."

"It only ended turning into a vicious monster..." Sighed Pyuku. "W-Well, all's well and done, right? I'm glad they're safe! Thank you so much for helping me out with that!"

"Don't worry." My mother smiled gently. "Now, let's set up a camp for now. Let's rest and after a few hours, we should have dinner and sleep. We can resume our travels tomorrow. Even now there's a lot I want to investigate about these ruins."
