Chapter 079
“Should I take him as my nephew? Hm… . ”
Yu was somewhat irritated seeing Joseph walking beside him . Joseph kept on muttering something . It wasn’t strange for him to talk to himself but he was clearly overdoing it right now . After breakfast had finished, Yu couldn’t help but notice his strange behavior .
“Do you have a problem?”
“Eh, Yu! No, none at all . ”
“But you are acting strange . ”
“Well, how should I say it . ”
“I don’t know, why are you asking me?”
“Hey how about a little bit of help over here?” at this time, Lalit shouted from the distance, asking for help from Joseph .
“Eckart, hold your position!”
“Your request is unreasonable . ”
As Yu and Joseph were talking with each other while walking, Lalit and Eckart found themselves surrounded by monsters . Their appearance was like a giant tree and if not for the fact that could move, one wouldn’t realize that it was a monster . With height of 4-5 meters , they were monsters called 「Treant」 . Compared to them, even the 2 . 5 meter tall Eckart looked like a child . The 「Treant」 swung down its branches towards Eckart, taking advantage of its height . Eckart could only raise his shield to try and block but his feet sank to the ground because of the impact .
“We need to cut off its branches to limit its attack . Moran, you cut it down while I attract its attention and Memetto, use 《Water Magic》 on it . ”(Ann)
“Leave it to me . ”(Moran)
“Understood . ”(Memetto)
“Your enemy is me! 《Taunt》!” (Ann)
“The spirit of water, hear my call, become my blade . 《Water Blade》!” (Memetto)
This was the usual winning pattern for the trio . While Ann was tanking, Moran unleashed flurry of attacks and from the back line Memetto cast her magic . As Memetto finished her chant, Ann and Moran stepped back in unison as they were used to syncing with each other . Soon the 《Water Blade》 hit the 「Treant」 and it caused it to split into two .
“Hehehe, this is easy . Over there, if you need help just tell us . ”
Moran said that to Siam that was now surrounded by five 「Treants」 .
“Darn it . That woman is making fun of me . Inu, where are you?”
“Here!”
Siam was busy with fending off the 「Treant」’s attack and fighting back by using his 【Magic Sword】’s skill . His sword was enveloped in a bright red flame . However his party’s strength was unbalanced . The 「Treants」 aimed at Inu and its attack landed on him . Like a stone being thrown into the air he was pushed backwards .
“Guaaa!”
“Inu!”
When he landed, the attack seemed to had an effect on internal organs . Inu coughed up blood as he fell to the ground . The 「Treant」 didn’t change its target . It was ignoring Siam and heading towards Inu . It was slowly approaching the motionless Inu .
“This is bad! Inu, run!”
Samoha shouted but Inu didn’t react . He could only crouch down because his insides were torn up . Before the 「Treant」 arrived, a small shadow reached Inu first .
“Ugh… who are you?”
“…troublesome…”
Even if she was saying that, Lena casted 《Heal》 on him . Under the effect of the spell, Inu’s pale face regained some colour .
“I’m sorry to trouble you . Thanks to you I survived . Ugh, behind you!”
Inu noticed the 「Treant」that had arrived but it was too late, it already started to swing its branch downwards . The moment the branch was going to come into contact with Lena, Inu closed his eyes .
*Peng*
Accompanied with a dull sound, Inu opened his eyes slowly, not wanting to witness the gruesome scene . However Lena was standing there normally and continued to cast 《Heal》 . The 「Treant」 saw that its attack had failed and started to launch another one . Once again, its attack couldn’t reach her . It was stopped by her 《Barrier》 .
“You are treating me while also fending off its attack?”
“…I’m done here . “
After Lena finished treating Inu’s wound she turned back and faced the tree monster . While she was treating Inu’s wound, she couldn’t cast an attack spell but right now she could do it freely . A flash of thunder appeared in her hands before it flew towards the 「Treant」 . It was the third rank 【Black Magic】, 《Raging Thunder》 . As the 「Treant」 continued its pointless attack that was blocked by Lena’s 《Barrier》 as usual, the lightning hit it .
“…persistent tree . ”
The tree monster didn’t stop attacking Lena even for a moment . Only when the thunder hit its body did it stop . It happened in the blink of an eye as the 「Treant」’s body turned into a black charcoal with smoke slowly rising from it .
“Whoa, to be able to defend its attack and to then finish it off in a single blow . How powerful . ”
“Hey, don’t you know they are weak to fire?” Siam who was fighting in the distance asked Lena .
“Don’t you know that we are fighting inside a forest . Did you think it was wise to use fire?”
“What’s your point?”
“In case your fire caused a spark and the surroundings cought fire, we could’ve ended up in a forest of flames . Maybe your brain couldn’t think of such a thing . ”
“You dare mock me? It was a reflex . I was suddenly surrounded by 「Treants」 . ”
“You think you are great normally?”
Siam looked around and saw Ann, Lalit, even Nina were fighting the 「Treants」that had ganged up on Siam earlier and were already defeating them .
“I can see you came to help me . But what about him?”
Siam was referring to Yu who was getting surrounded by 4 「Treants」that were coming from behind him . Without even looking, Yu aimed his hand to the back and casted first rank 【Black Magic】, 《Stone Bullet》 . Immediately dozens of small stone grains were flying towards the approaching monsters . The small rocks burst open and caused a large hole on the tree monsters’ bodies . Three of them died instantly . The last one didn’t fall upon the attack since it was the largest, 6m tall . Although its body was full of holes, it kept on moving, trying to attack Yu . It swangs down its branch and Yu dodged it by jumping .
Taking into calculation that the human body couldn’t jump that high and Yu’s jump was around 3 meters he couldn’t dodge the tall monster’s attack far enough .
“That fool!”
Of course the one who said that was Siam . The six meters plus the branches’ length were long enough to reach Yu . There was no reason that this attack cant hit him .
In the next instant nobody could believe what they were seeing . Yu jumped once again . Everyone was dumbfounded seeing Yu jump once again in the middle of the air without any foothold . Only Memetto was aware of his trick .
The「Treant」missed his chance and stumbled down to the ground . Yu came and delivered the finishing blow by slashing down with his sword .
