Villain Ch 601. The Mystic Forest [Part 2]

Father^Alex, multitasking like a pro, swiftly cast a Barrier around himself. The tendrils, unleashed by the awakened Trent, posed a threat to everyone, even the dedicated healer. With a focused gaze, Father^Alex skillfully avoided the sinister appendages, ensuring his Barrier held strong.

In the midst of the turmoil, the thought of retreating crossed Father^Alex's mind. It seemed like the logical choice to escape the tendrils' reach. But a split-second decision kept him rooted in place. Retreating would mean leaving his team vulnerable, without the safety net of his healing skills.

'I can't...' he thought.

He dodged tendrils with practiced finesse, the Barrier absorbing the occasional blow. Father^Alex understood that his ability to support the team was paramount. To retreat would mean abandoning them to the whims of the Wisps and the relentless attacks of the Trent. It was a calculated risk, and Father^Alex, seasoned by countless battles, chose to stand his ground, determined to weather the storm and guide his team through the chaos.

Panic etched across the team, an unspoken acknowledgment that things had taken a chaotic turn. The archer, a realization of his misstep evident on his face, grappled with the consequences of his arrow that had rudely awakened the Trent. The leader, caught in the grip of uncertainty, stood frozen, unsure of the next move.

In the midst of the confusion, Father^Alex assumed the mantle of leadership. His voice cut through the disarray, a calming presence amidst the storm.

"Mage, archer, kill Trent first!" Father^Alex's instructions were clear, a strategic directive to address the immediate threat. "Others, hold the Wisps until they manage to kill the Trent!" he reiterated, distributing tasks with a seasoned commander's precision.

The archer, still shaken from his accidental awakening of the Trent and now confronted with an even more bizarre situation, chimed in, "I've never seen the system go haywire like this. Father^Alex, any ideas?"

Father^Alex maintained a thoughtful silence, his eyes narrowing. Quickly, he recognized the distinctive fire skill—a signature move of the Devil Emperor. A wave of uncertainty washed over him. Why would the Devil Emperor unleash such destructive power in an area teeming with low-level players? Typically, the Devil Emperor's interests revolved around the elite, the high-level players who posed a more substantial challenge.

When Father^Alex mulled over these perplexing thoughts, soon, his suspicions found confirmation in the form of a dramatic entrance from the sky. The Devil Emperor descended, an ominous figure against the backdrop of the blazing inferno. His motives remained shrouded in mystery, leaving the low-level players, including Father^Alex and his team, on edge.

Hovering in the crimson-tinted sky, the Devil Emperor made a grand entrance, his imposing silhouette casting a shadow over the once serene Mystic Forest. The flames danced in eerie harmony with his malevolent aura, amplifying the intimidating atmosphere.

The Devil Emperor hovered in the mid air. His form exuded an arrogance that sent a shiver through Father^Alex and his bewildered team. The very air seemed to ripple with disdain as the Devil Emperor greeted them with a tone laced with condescension.

"Well, well, if it isn't the great healer, Father^Alex," the Devil Emperor sneered, his voice echoing with a calculated arrogance. The unexpected encounter left Father^Alex and his team in a state of shock.

To add to the surreal nature of the situation, seven ominous figures materialized alongside the Devil Emperor, his subordinates forming a foreboding backdrop. The revelation that not only the Devil Emperor himself but his entire retinue had chosen this moment to make an appearance left Father^Alex and his team grappling with a sense of overwhelming dread.

'What the hell is happening?' Father^Alex thought in confusion.
