Volume 6.5 Chapter 5: I Know What We Need To Do Next

What the three saw in the middle of the room was a giant tree. It was eye-catching. However, Keith frowned as he stared at it.

What kind of tree is that?

It wasn't any ordinary tree. It looked like a weeping willow tree. The entire body of the tree was pitch black, while the leaves were red like blood.

Something is definitely wrong with it. Keith didn't know why, but he felt the tree was injured. A sinister aura surrounded it. Heck, even Aria was full of wariness, prepared to take the thing if it made a move.

"Keith, look at the floor." Keith stared down and noticed the mounds of magic stones under it.

"Is the raptor feeding it?" As the questions continued to go through his mind,

"Kwak!" Aria sprang forth and fired her ice! Keith and Titus jumped back from the danger.

"The vines are moving!" What was behind them were black vines. Besides that, they chased after them!

Keith and Titus quickly moved! However, those vines were relentless!

"Hah!" Keith sliced at the vine. Yet, his eyes turned dark. It didn't get through. His sword couldn't go through the vine. It was too sturdy.

"There's too many." Titus groaned. The whole room was entrapped by those vines.

"Tch!" Keith's arm was grabbed.

I have to play one of my trump cards. He smacked it away and raised his hand,

"Keith, what's the matter?" Diana appeared before him. She was surprised since Keith rarely called her out.

"No time to explain! Please deal with that!" It would take too long to explain it to her. And a vine went straight at her from behind!

"Diana!" "Watch out!"

"Huh?" Diana gave a turn, and the vine was stopped in its tracks! She shook her head, "Do you think you can- eh?" She was about to taunt the attack, but her voice halted as she saw the tree.

"Dian-EPPP!" Keith screeched as he took a step away from her!

Her eyes turned dangerous! It was that of a monster!

"Who dares do this?!" A cold and menacing voice came out of her mouth. That calm and gentle voice was nowhere in sight.

"...Um, Diana, what happened to it?" Keith questioned.

"That tree has been corrupted."

"Corrupted."

"Yes. And I'm going to destroy it." Diana waved her hand. When she did, roots came out of the ground! Each one held down a vine. Three circled around the tree, slowly latching onto it! With a snap of her fingers, the tree was crushed!

"....Damn." Keith couldn't help but blurt out. What Diana did was too overpowered! She took out that tree with a snap of a finger.

Literally!

"Hah." Diana took a deep sigh. That caused the three to take a few extra steps back. They don't want to get destroyed!

Diana asked Keith, "Keith, why are you standing so far away from me?" Keith was about a few meters away from her. It was quite the distance.

"Nothing, Ms. Diana. Just nothing." "What's with the formal attitude?!" Did something happen?!

"Nothing's the matter, Ms.Diana." "I know we haven't seen each other for quite some time. But don't call me that."

"Ahh, Keith," Titus called out. It seemed he was forgotten.

"Oh," Thank god. Keith smiled, "This is my island's dorm mother, Diana."

"Dorm mother?" Wait what? Is that a new species or something?

"Oh, please keep this a secret from everyone. I'm not supposed to summon her." Diana was a great spirit. He could only summon her in dire situations without many people like right now.

"Don't worry, I will." Titus nodded. If someone found out about this, they would probably flip out. He was keeping his cool in all of this. But he also understood why Keith was so worried.

"By the way, do you want to take the seed?" Diana questioned.

"Eh?" Seed? There's a seed?

"Mmhmm, I can sense the seed is still alive." Diana glanced at a certain spot, "Here it is." With a wave, the seed popped out from the ground. It floated into Keith's hand.

"This is a seed?" What was in his hand was the size of a baseball! Never had he seen such a seed before.

"It's going to be a little tricky. However, I know you will be able to grow it."

"I see." Keith thought about it.

"Keith, what do you plan to do now?" Since they had taken down the tree, what else was left?

"Oh, yeah," Keith smirked. "I know what we need to do next."

"..." Why do I not like that grin on your face? It was something. And he could tell it was beyond evil!
