Chapter 39: YOU SHOULD READ CHAPTERS 39-40 AT ONCE!
I was so close. So damn close!
A few meters more only.
Now I'm back to the center.
Guess I just need to wait till the rain goes away.
Then I can go again and . wait?! With the rain won't my small trenches be all messed up too?!
-_- *Sigh*
Wait?!
Why did I need that in the first place?!
I spent so much effort making a pathway all the way from center to the edge.
But honestly, I just needed it to resist the fox anyway.
*Sigh*
I'm a dumbass ain't I? (;_)
*Sigh*
I swear it's this gloomy forest that is getting to me.
I would have totally realized it earlier usually.
This forest is so gloomy even the fucking trees look menacing.
That one even looks aliv..
OH FUCK. ( O O )
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
50 m tall. Yes, a tree so that's normal. The problem is the branches are moving.
Wait no.no way that's possible
Haha this is funny. The rain and the wind are obviously at play.
Can't believe I got scared over nothing. ()
Ah. Must be the result of my recent bad luck.
Seriously why did have to rain at that exact moment!
Couldn't it have been a few minutes later.
I'd already be home by now.
*Sigh*
I swear these branches are creepy. Looks Hella close to me. I'm just gonna move a bit.
Ah! Actually might have been pushed by the vines. These things are still crawling all over the place.
Seriously mankind's ability to adapt is pretty impressive. Not long ago I was shitting my inexistent pants. Now my brain kinda filters this sight out by habit. It's part of the background.
I'm getting scared of trees now. How risible is that? Haha. To be fair, fear of the unknown is big.
That's kind of how humans managed to survive so far in a world filled with countless weird creatures. Anyway, that's what I believe.
That's just a normal tree. With long moving branches. That kinda look like arms now that I look closely. With tree nodes looking like big ass eyes. And a hole in the trunk looking like a cavernous mouth. No wonder I got scared haha. What are the chances. This sure is a peculiar looking archaic tree.
It's all in my head haha. There is no way this tree just extended it's claws at me and is grabbing me right now.
OH FUCK. THIS IS REAL.
*bones cracking*
Motherfucker! Let go!
Even the trees are out for my blood!
[I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to destroy so many of your brothers! It was all a mistake! I won't touch an archaic tree in my life! Please just let me go!] ()
Please-please-please. Let it work.
Fuck it's squeezing me even harder.
[Fuck you, you lump of wood! Fucking burn! Fucking get chopped like the useless wood you are!]
I might not be strong! But I won't die that easily!
*grinding continues*
Alright! I'm fine!
[Hahahaha. Can't even crush a puny human? What kind of failed nightmarish tree are you? Only able to scare people! U-se-less! You call that a grip! My grandma is stronger than you! And she's been dead for 100 years already!]
Okay that's a lie, I don't even remember any parents to say nothing of a grandmother. But so what. I'm pissed at that log. It tried crushing me, but ultimately failed.
[Haha. How the hell are you so weak yet so fat! Look at how big you are! 50m tall and can't even deal with the not even 2 meters me. Any creature as big as you would be a rank 5 for sure. But then you are a fucking tree. Downgraded to rank 4. Then you can't even move. Downgraded to rank 3. Then you are weak as fuck. Downgraded to rank 2. Then except being ugly I bet your only redeeming feature is to burn well. You are a fucking rank 1 monster, aren't you? HAHAHAHA. Talk about worthless!!] (,)
Some say venting solves nothing. I assure you it is vital to my mental well-being. I might be a rank 1 too but fuck that tree! Okay to be honest I guess it probably is a rank 3 wooden monster. Strong, but lacking in mobility. Obviously. It is a tree after all.
But seriously this is disappointing. Treants are supposed to be good guys. This one is a pain.
*sigh*
What am I gonna do If I ever encounter an evil sorcerer raising an orc army eh? Not rely on an Treant for sure. Or whatever that thing is. Point is, it's not friendly. At all.
First time it sees someone and it goes straight to crushing.
Its eyes are opened now. I can see some sort of pale blue light flickering inside. Not fire, but fire-ish looking.
I don't know it's weird.
It seems to be fixing me while trying its best to squeeze. Whatever. Keep trying big guy.
I may be overall lacking but I'm sturdy.
Now what. It can't defeat me. But I seem to be stuck.
Why does it feel like I get stuck a lot these days?
*sigh*
Whatever. Time for a nap. (-_-)?
****
I wake up. I'm in a soft bed. I see Luna's face next to mine.
"My lord, good thing I had a dream about your previous predicament. That pushed me to get a power-up. I went to rescue you and brought you back to the Moon Keep. Now remove my clothes and make love to me!". ()
Oh, so that's what happened. Make sense. Let me just remove the robe real quick. |(3 )|
These full moons clothes are kinda cool but used to stress me so much haha. But everything is fine now.
Luna just got a plot power up so I'm sure she can deal with whatever bullshit from the sect higher-ups.
Hum. Why is Luna wearing a robe ...under her robe?
It's fine. I'm a patient man. Let's just remove why is there another one? Fine, let me. another one.
What is happening?
[Luna what's up with your robe?]
"Oh that? I was cold. You just need to remove &%#! layers"
Wait what?
"You have 2 more minutes my lord."
Or so she says with a radiant smile. 2 minutes but why?
--------
"Envoy! It's been 2 minutes, it's my turn now. Or should I say, fake envoy? Anyway, now you are to drink with me!"
Wait. Why is the sectmaster here now? What is happening?
"Bottoms up."
Whatever that is it smells horrible. No way I am drinking that. (;y)
*gulp* *choke*
FUCK THAT'S PISS! (`)
[I don't want to drink. I don't want to drink.]
"Oh, but you have to, every single drop till the last."
[NOOOO!]
