Chapter 100: Red tree demon

The monster could talk!They were all shocked at this discovery; any monster that was capable of speech was no ordinary monster; they had a high probability of becoming guardians in the future and usually possessed strange abilities that were difficult to deal with at times.

The monster looked at them with a red glow in its eyes for a few seconds more before tossing the dead monster that was of its kind away to the side; the dead monster crashed heavily into the ground from the casual toss and created a crater on the ground.

The eyes of the group widened; so much damage from a casual toss; this monster certainly possessed strength that rivaled a Partial Lord or even higher!

After tossing away the dead kindred, the monster turned around and faced them while still holding the Nexus crystal in its hand.

"It's a red tree demon!" Eliot suddenly shouted after taking a few looks at the monster. He had seen one before, but it was a long time ago, and he almost didn't recognize it.

" You know what that thing is?" Ralph looked at him and asked with a serious face.

Eliot did not dare to take his eyes off the monster so he answered Eliot without looking at him.

"I have only encountered one once in the past,"

"How strong are they?" Ralph asked again.

"Very strong. Even if I join you guys, we might not be able to defeat it." Eliot replied and the looks on everyone's face changed.

Even if he joined them, they would not be able to win. How exaggerated!

"I advise we retreat for now; let's observe it first before acting again," Eliot suggested.

"What do you mean retreat? You're just afraid because you almost got trashed back then? Remember that you were not as strong as you are now, how will you know without trying?" Glen voiced out from the side while looking at the monster outside.

Ralph turned to look at Glen, his eyes screaming 'Are you stupid? Didn't you see that toss just now?'

"What?" Glen stared at Ralph with a confused face.

Ralph only shook his head in the end and decided not to bother with Glen, his friend was used to talking without thinking properly.

Elliot's face showed an embarrassed expression when he heard Glen's words. Indeed, he had been shaken by fear of his past experience with the red tree demon.

"Tell us what you know about it," Ivan suddenly said after a few seconds of observation, the monster also didn't approach them and just stared from a distance.

"I…I don't really know. We were just a team of Mortal Kings back then and barely escaped thanks to the arrival of a Partial Lord who held it back. We were unable to find anything aside from the fact that it had incredible speed and strength…it can also use magic attacks!" Elliot voiced out after giving it some thought.

A look of shock appeared on everyone's face again. That thing could use magic attacks?

" What magic attacks does it possess?" Ivan asked again, and Elliot said that he wasn't sure of the numbers; he recounted that he had seen the monster use earth magic and fire magic before.

Ivan fell silent, a look of contemplation appeared on his face.

"Everyone gets ready, we're going to meet it," Ivan suddenly announced after a few seconds, and everyone turned to look at him as if he had gone mad.

"What? We'll have to face it sooner or later, better to find out as much as we can so we can make plans on how to fight it. I'll be in front; you all attack from behind me," Ivan said to them, seeing their conflicted faces.

….

A minute later, all five of them were standing on top of the land carrier and gazing down at the monster. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Swoosh!!

With a gush of Nexus, Ivan summoned a card before turning it into a pitch-black sword. He gripped the sword and turned to look at Ralph and the rest.

"Stay out of its attack path, I'll face it head-on," he instructed once more before jumping down; the rest followed him, with each of them bringing out their abilities.

The red tree demon stared at the group that was rushing towards it. Five humans in bodysuits, a white snake, and two undead creatures.

"Another wave of pests"

Its chaotic voice rang out again as the red glow in its eyes intensified and it suddenly grew in size, reaching an impressive size of 14 meters!

It brought the Nexus crystal that it was holding in front of its chest, its body opened like a wormhole and swallowed the Nexus crystal.

The look on Ivan's face didn't change as he continued to charge forward, running zigzag between the pillars.

Ivan soon appeared in front of the monster in a flash and slashed at it.

"Pesky humans!" The monster growled and sent a punch at Ivan.

Ivan tilted his body to the side, his hand that was holding the black sword moved with lightning speed and created afterimages.

Swish, swish, swish!

He executed dozens of sword strikes instantaneously before moving to the side.

Wooosh!

The monster's punch missed Ivan but before it could withdraw its hand, lines suddenly began to appear all over its hand before suddenly exploding into pieces.

"Impossible!" The monster shouted upon seeing that its entire hand had been cut into pieces by Ivan.

The other four were shocked as well, they had not seen Ivan's move at all.

Ivan's face remained calm; he jumped to the side and stepped hard on the ground before shooting forward; he saw that the hand of the monster was starting to grow back at a bothering speed, and he had to make sure the monster didn't get the chance to heal.

Seeing that Ivan was coming back for it, the red glow in its eyes glowed brighter and it stomped on the ground hard.

Rumble!

The ground between it and Ivan suddenly exploded and broke into countless pieces, pieces of rocks flew into the air and shot toward Ivan like bullets.

Ivan's eyes narrowed, and he moved from side to side as if he were teleporting while dodging the rocks that were flying at him. Glen and the other who were behind him were not as fast, so they had to pull back while dodging and destroying the pieces of rocks that they were unable to dodge.

Ivan arrived in front of the monster again; its hand was almost recovered completely, but Ivan was here to chop it off again.

Swish, swish, swish!

Ivan slashed out again.

"Die!"

The monster shouted at the same time as a huge mouth made of stone burst out from the ground right under Ivan's feet, it opened wide and snapped at Ivan.

In the face of the sudden attack, Ivan gave up on attacking the monster and changed his attack path and slashed at the mouth instead.

The rock mouth shattered into multiple pieces of stones under Ivan's rampage but this had given the monster the chance to heal completely.

It immediately punched at Ivan with its other hand.

Ivan saw that he would not be fast enough to use his sword for this punch, then immediately let go of his sword and met the monster's fist with a punch of his own.

BAM!

Both fists clashed, and a strong shockwave exploded out, destroying the ground around them and creating a crater below their feet; none of them retreated even a single step.

They were evenly matched in strength!
