– H-How Frustrating. Aaah.

In the end, the Ghost Tree King fell to Otto and his group’s relentless axe attacks.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

The massive body of the Ghost Tree King crumbled and fell apart.

[Notification: You've Leveled Up!]

[Notification: You've Leveled Up!]

[Notification: You've Leveled Up!]

…..

A notification appeared indicating that the level had risen accordingly.

Of course, the status window was blurry, so it was impossible to know exactly how many levels had increased or what the current level was.

“Congratulations on your victory.”

Camille bowed to Otto, getting down on one knee as usual to give him a respectful bow.

“Congratulations on your victory.”

“Congratulations on your victory.”

“Congratulations on your victory.”

The magic swordsmen also offered their respects to Otto.

“Chwiiiik!”

Bagram and the Orc warriors also raised their axes high into the sky and roared.

“Your cunning mind really works like a charm, you little brat.”

Kairos praised Otto.

"A sharp one. You've done an excellent job identifying the weak point of the haunted tree."

“You're making a fuss over this.”

Otto shrugged as if it was no big deal.

“Anyway, it's not time to rest yet. Everyone, move out. It's time to chop down a tree."

Otto said this and then began to hack at the dead Ghost Tree King with his axe, splitting it into pieces.

"From now on, we're going to split this tree to make a club. Be careful when you chop it. Don't cut it too thin."

The body of the Ghost Tree king… or rather, it feels a bit off to describe it as such.

Ghost Tree is a very rare and useful material item.

The Ghost Tree King, the ruler of the Bizarre Forest, was a monster with nothing that could be thrown away.

[Notification: You have acquired the item !]

[Notification: You have acquired the item !]

[Notification: You have acquired the item !]

[Notification: You have acquired the item !]

Of course, the status window was blurry, so it couldn’t be clearly seen, but Otto didn’t mind.

What mattered was that they had dismantled the Ghost Tree King and obtained logs, branches, leaves, and roots.

“What are we going to use all of this for?”

Camille asked Otto.

“Since it's a Haunted Tree, there must be some use for it.” Otto answered.

“I see.” Camille said.

Otto asked, while hiding his smile.

“Do you want to see it?”

“Huh?”

“Here, look.”

Otto tapped Camille's arm with the Ghost Tree material

*Flinch!*

Camille flinched at the touch.

“W-What is this?”

The reason Camille was surprised was simple.

*Shk* *Shk*

The forearm that was lightly tapped by the Ghost Tree material twitched as if it had been hit by a cramp.

“How could it do that?”

Camille said, frowning in displeasure.

“Curse, Paralysis.”

Otto explained.

"Because the Ghost Tree King has such attributes."

“Is that all?”

"There are a few more as well."

"….?"

"Leaves, roots, and bark are also ingredients used in making top-grade potions. Lululala♪."

Otto hummed with excitement as he gathered the ingredients from the Ghost Tree.

Two hours later.

"Are we heading back now?"

“No.”

Otto shook his head.

“There's still something left to harvest.”

“What is it?”

"If we go further ahead, there are more Ghost Trees."

“No way….”

Camille was surprised, thinking there were more powerful and difficult-to-handle monsters like the Ghost Tree King.

“No.”

Otto shook his head.

“Not that kind of Ghost Tree.”

“Oh…?”

“You'll know it when you see it.”

With that, Otto turned and walked away.

When Otto arrived, he found a cluster of trees with trunks as large as buttocks gathered together.

And those trees were….

– Aing~♡

– Big Brother~~~~

– Big Sis♡

– Come here~ Hurry up and come~

-Ahng~~♡♡

Trees with leaves sparkling in pink beckoned to Otto and the others.

"….."

"….."

"….."

Everyone was at a loss for words.

They were indeed Ghost Trees, but something about them seemed a bit off.

“W-What is this?"

Camille asked Otto with a disgusted expression.

“What do you think? They're Ghost Trees.”

"Are they possessed by perverted ghosts or something?"

Camille couldn't help but say that because the trees with pink leaves really did seem like perverts.

For Ghost Trees, the way they twisted their bodies, acted cute and coquettish, and flirted with greasy, sticky voices was just…

“Chwi~♡”

Amidst all this, one of Bagram's subordinates, hearts practically popping out of his eyes, started walking closer to the Ghost Trees.

As if he were entranced by something.

The problem was, it wasn't just one person.

“S-Sexy."

“Huff!”

“Chwiik!”

A few Orcs and Magic Swordsmen also began to approach the group of Ghost Trees, their faces flushed red.

“Huu….”

Otto shook his head as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Even if they're under a spell of bewitchment, it’s ridiculous to be tempted by such perverted trees."

The trees were called the [Enchanted Butt Trees of the Twisted Nether].

For short, they were called the "Enchantment Trees."

They were very fearsome monsters that lured and bewitched passing creatures, eventually draining them of their blood.

Despite their bizarre and ridiculous appearance, Enchantment Trees wielded very powerful enchantment magic.

As a result, individuals with low levels or insufficient magical resistance could easily be seduced.

Just like some of the Orcs and Magic Swordsmen.

“What do we do?”

Camille asked Otto.

“L-Let go! Are you interrupting my love affair with that beautiful tree?”

“Chwiik! I'm going to mate with that tree! Chwiik!”

Despite their comrades' attempts to stop them, the enchanted Magic Swordsmen and Orcs thrashed about, trying to get closer to the Enchanted Tree.

If left like this, it seemed that a fight would break out among their own people.

“What can we do about this?”

Otto huffed and took out his [Awakening Poker] from his waistband.

“It should be like this.”

*Pow!*

Otto smashed the head of a nearby magic swordsman with his poker.

“……!”

The magic swordsman's eyes widened as if he'd come to his senses, and then he collapsed in a heap.

That was the beginning.

*Smack!* *Bam!*

Otto used the Awakening poker to strike the heads of those enchanted by the Enchantment Trees, knocking them out one by one.

About thirty seconds later.

“Chik, Chwi!?”

“Ugh!”

Those that were charmed woke up and blushed.

Each of their heads had a large bump, but that was really just a minor inconvenience.

Better to be a little humiliated and have a bump on their head than to be beguiled by those perverted trees and have their blood sucked dry.

“It's great.”

Satisfied with the reliable performance of the Awakening Poker, Otto pulled out the Ghost Tree Club.

[Crude Savage Club]

A club crudely fashioned from the Ghost Tree.

It hasn't been properly processed yet, so it doesn't perform at its best.

The Ghost Tree Club that Otto pulled out was an item that also existed in the game Territory Wars, and was very useful against the Enchanted Trees.

"Everyone, watch what I do and follow along."

Otto said that and then approached the area where the Enchantment Trees were located.

-Big Brother~~ Hngh~♡

Although the Enchantment Trees tried to seduce him, Otto didn’t budge.

In Otto's case, his high level and very strong magical resistance allowed him to remain completely unaffected by the Enchantment Trees' attempts to bewitch him.

*Trudge* *Trudge*

As Otto approached, the Enchantment Trees extended their branches in an attempt to suck his blood dry.

“…They're so slow. Phew.”

Otto sighed deeply at the blood-draining branches reaching out toward him.

The speed of the branches extending from the Enchantment Trees was so slow that it was almost making him yawn.

"Not like they're sloths or anything."

Of course, if he were in a situation where he was enchanted by the Enchantment Trees, it would be a completely different story.

When one is bewitched by the Enchantment Tree, one will cling to the tree and rub against it incessantly, and the sluggishness of the branches hardly becomes a factor.

One wouldn't even notice the blood-draining branches approaching, let alone realize they were puncturing one's body and draining one's blood.

"So annoying."

Otto drew his sword with his left hand and summarily slashed at the slowly advancing vampiric branches, cutting them aside, then gripped the crude savage club with his right.

Then he swung the club with all his strength at the base of the Enchantment Tree, shaped like a large buttocks.

The result.

– Hngh~♡ Splurt~~~♡

The Enchantment Tree let out a strange moan and began to spurt pink sap.

*Drip!* *Drip!*

The flowing sap collected into the container for harvesting that Otto had placed beforehand.

[Enchantment Tree Sap]

A sticky pink sap.

The sap can be collected by hitting the base of the Enchantment Tree, which is shaped like a buttocks.

Since it's a very valuable sap, its worth is quite significant.

"……"

"……"

"……"

The comrades were initially speechless, stunned by the sight of Otto extracting the Enchantment Tree sap, but they soon regained their composure and joined in the task.

*Smack!*

*Pow!*

Soon, the moans of the Enchantment Trees echoed through the forest.

– Aaaahh~♡

– Hhhnggh~~~♡

– Uungh~♡

The sound of the Enchantment Tree sap pouring out also echoed through the forest.

*Splurt!* *Splatter!* *Spurt!*

Anyone who heard it might have misunderstood, but Otto and his group didn't pay attention.

“You know what?”

Otto paused in collecting the sap and spoke to Camille.

“What?”

“These trees….”

“……?”

“They're all male.”

“…F*ck you.”

Camille decided to just stop listening.

He didn’t want to know any more about these perverted and bizarre trees.

After collecting the Enchantment Tree sap, Otto and his group left the bizarre forest without hesitation and headed back to the Thunderhoof Clan's stronghold.

Otto didn’t head directly to Thunder Mountain.

Before going to Thunder Mountain, there were items that needed to be made using the materials collected from the Bizarre Forest.

“Sir Qasim.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

"Could you fly back to the Homeland right now and bring a few Dwarves with you?"

To process the materials, a skilled craftsman is needed.

In the Kingdom of Lota, there were plenty of top-notch Dwarven blacksmiths, so there was no need to seek out other blacksmiths for the task.

It was simply a matter of bringing them over from the Kingdom of Lota.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will bring the Dwarves quickly."

“Gwik! Gwiiik!"

Following Otto’s command, Qasim immediately departed for the Kingdom of Lota to fetch the Dwarves.

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Erzsebet…….

“Failed… you say?”

Bathory's heart sank upon receiving the report of the failed assassination of Archduke Wazir.

An assassination of a great man like Archduke Wazir had to be flawless, and that meant no mistakes.

And yet, there was a failure?

She couldn't even begin to imagine the magnitude of the fallout.

But that was only the beginning.

“Y-Your Majesty, Archduke Wazir has sent us a letter.

“…Ah.”

Bathory closed her eyes tightly after reading the contents of the letter sent by Archduke Wazir.

It asked how she had been, if she was in a hurry lately, and that the gift she had sent was well received, and that he would send one to her soon.

It meant that Archduke Wazir was certain Bathory was behind the assassination attempt and was essentially declaring an imminent and definite retaliation.

Archduke Wazir was a respected figure across the entire continent as a politician, diplomat, and civil administrator.

Having failed to assassinate such a prominent figure, it was certain that those close to Archduke Wazir would not remain passive.

In some way, it was certain that various forms of pressure would be applied to the Kingdom of Erzsebet.
