626 Root Against Treants!

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated [Aberrant Mutant Giant Death Mole (Rank: B+)] x93!]

[You and your Party have defeated [Aberrant Mutant Giant Armored Death Mole (Rank: B++)] x12!]

[You earned 1130000 EXP!]

As we killed more vermin, the less EXP I was awarded, compared to the amazing EXP I got from making some rare items through Alchemy, this feels like a little joke. I began wondering what it was as I slain the last Armored Moles.

The System seemed to have answered my questions right away, however.

[EXP earned by monsters become less as you grow stronger. However, you killed thousands of monsters in the Swamp Dungeon, so you naturally earned a large quantity of EXP there anyways.]

[Even then, the EXP awarded from the Alchemy was special, as it was given through the expenditure of materials. However, large quantities are only given after making a new item, the EXP is later radically reduced.]

[The higher your level compared to your foes, the less EXP they offer to you. However, once you evolve and your level is reset, you might be able to earn more EXP by then, until you reach the later half of your levels where things might get harder once more.]

Oh, I see… It is more of a complicated mechanic than I thought. Well, a million EXP is not so bad, and bigger monsters might award more EXP later on- Like this big army coming to us right now.

“GROOOOHHH!”

“OOOHHH!”

“GRUOOOHH!”

As we defeated the Moles, a new set of monsters quickly attempted to get in our way while we were going towards the dungeon’s stairs leading to the second floor. A large army of walking trees, they were… I am fairly sure they’re Root’s relatives!

All the trees that used to adorn the grasslands beautifully ended becoming these monstrous trees, and they were all creeping towards her at a surprisingly fast speed, no less.

[Miasmic Tyrant Treant: Lv66] [Rank: B+] [Status: Berserk]

A monstrous tree that has been mutated through Miasma when it used to be a normal living tree. Their bark is hard and protects them from most damage, while also having an anti-magic reflective barrier that lets them block most low-level magic with ease. They’re capable of melding with the soil and other plants, parasitizing them and fusing them into their bodies.

If threatened, they might either fight with all they have or escape into the underground, to pop up as a new sapling and regrow in just a couple of days. They’re vicious and have an endless thirst for the blood of living beings, as they believe it helps them grow faster.

Skills: [Super Hardened Bark Armor] [Deadly Miasmic Claws] [Bark Armor Shield] [Miasmic Wooden Spears] [Miasmic Wooden Shields] [Piercing Roots] [Uproot] [Miasmic Meteor] [Absorb Life] […]

“Gyuh! My family!”

Root looked at the Treants from afar, saying something a bit funny, to be honest.

“T-They’re not your family Root, come back!”

I tried to bring him back here, but he ran to see them.

“Family! Don’t fight, join me!”

The large Treants, which towered over his small, spirit embodiment-sized body looked down on him as if he were an insect. They didn’t talked like him either, or overflowed with miasma.

“Grygryah!”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Gyugrah!”

“GRAAAAH!”

They only spoke a few words I didn’t understand, before they all began attacking Root with their sharp wooden spears, spear roots, and firing miasmic meteors at him!

“ROOT!”

As I ran to save him, Root seemed to have realized they were not friends… Ah, he’s really quite innocent to think a monster would be his friend right away.

“Gyuhh… I was foolish….”

BOOOOOM!

Suddenly, his tiny body unleashed a bright explosion of shining light, he transformed into an enormously tall Treant, covered from head to toe into black bark, he looked utterly aberrant yet amazing! This was the true appearance of his new race, Tyrant Treant Guardian, or something like that.

“G-GRAH…”

“GRYUH?!”

ραпdα- n૦νe|`c,0m

The Treant Army he confronted was left shocked as they were the ones dwarfed by Root’s size now. His body easily reaching above thirty meters, and that wasn’t even stretching his actual size…

“I’ll punish you for being evil Treants, GYUH!”

His enormous wooden fist fell over the Treants as they were helplessly demolished into pieces by Treant’s [Holy Fist] Skill, which imbued holy light into his wooden fists and helped him at dealing super effective damage against the Treants.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

In mere seconds, he demolished his former family as the ones remaining surrounded him from around, without even caring about their brethren dying, they started firing Miasmic Meteors from all around.

“Nnnggh…! You broke my expectations… I won’t forgive you, GYUH!”

Root was rather childish, but that made sense seeing his actual age. He was still technically a sapling by age, although thanks to evolution, he had grown so big. He was slightly heartbroken, but quickly got over it if he was slaughtering them now…

BAAAM! BOOOOM! CLAAASH!

Not only his fists but his wooden spear attacks, his sharp roots, and then his own body weight crushed his adversaries as he made quick work of most of them. He drained away their vitality and miasma using his roots as well, viciously regaining his strength. I guess unlike most of our party we can just do that, eat away our foes souls and bodies to regain our HP and MP, but the rest of our allies got it harder.

Ding!

[Your Party have defeated [Miasmic Tyrant Treant (Rank: B+)] x63!]

[You earned 630000 EXP!]

Although we weren’t having that hard of a time fighting, monsters kept coming from left and right. We were in a rather desperate situation, and the looming big bosses coming for us from afar weren’t making things easier either. The Miasma kept expanding as if it were alive, boosting the strength of monsters as well.

RUMBLE!

And as we were desperately trying to get to the second floor to say goodbye to this one, we were caught by four bosses at the same time, enormous monsters emerging from within the underground, alongside a small army of their own too!
