Chapter 46: The Corrupted Forest
After logging in, Alex didn’t have to wait long for his fairy friend to pick him up.
“Good afternoon,” Alex chuckled; his eyes were on Remia.
Remia brightly smiled, “Good afternoon.”
Since she knew about Alex’s real-world responsibilities, Remia also knew that he would log in around this time. She had been waiting for him patiently.
Like Alex, Remia had excitement written on her face, “Ready to kill some monsters?”
“Always,” Alex nodded with confidence.
Without further ado, Remia turned around and guided Alex to one of the cursed lands in her forest. Unfortunately, no one was spared. The same went for the forest fairies, who had been in a good relationship with nature for eons.
In those tainted lands, the forest turned against them.
Root worms, bush balls, tree monsters, and many other creatures were constantly respawning in those vile areas. At first, the forest fairies tried to speak with those creatures and form some understanding.
Alas, to no avail.
Most monsters lacked intelligence. They were like pure-born creatures who solely worked on their instincts. They protected their lands and lived here, not letting anyone approach them freely.
Things always took a worse turn when the boss appeared. Those peculiar monsters possessed enough intelligence to command others. However, most bosses had a simple desire.
It was to create a community to rule. And with that community, they would expand their lands.
Of course, on higher levels, some bosses had even more ambition.
For Alex, this journey meant that he would fight against new types of monsters. That was one of the reasons that fueled Alex’s excitement. However, he would check a few important points on this adventure.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe first was naturally Remia and their relationship.
The second would be him trying his CC skills on the wooden-type monsters. Ever since Alex could slow down the skeleton, he wondered what exactly his limit was. It would be best to test that freezing on the fire-type monsters, but they were far away.
The third was just leveling up!
While Alex had his reasons, Remia purely wanted to increase her damage output. She would try her new poison skills on this trip and learn more about that dangerous concept.
“Before we start fighting, I want to tell you about my weaknesses,” Remia faintly smiled; her eyes had shifted to Alex.
Alex nodded and reared his ear.
“I was a treasured gardener in Elias’ Kingdom because my crafting was superb. So, I can summon and ask nature to help me, but it really takes a long time. The enemy won’t wait for me to connect in a battle,” Remia whispered.
After a brief break, she continued, “If I use external seeds, I can craft a powerful weapon. But if I connect on my own, I can’t bring out offensive skills. If I do, they are so weak that I would rather not talk about it…”
In Deathwill’s Kingdom, Remia had been using nature that Elias Deathwill gathered for her. Those various plants brought her a lot of joy as she could try out new stuff. Of course, her selling point was various buffs that came from those seeds.
Strength was not one of those. Although Remia had said that she could craft a powerful weapon, she excelled more in supportive areas.
Alex nodded, “Poison can be crafted too… If you apply it to enemies and stop them with your supportive skills, you can reach a new power you have never been aware of.”
His words greatly pleased Remia.
She nodded with a dazzling smile, “Yes! And knowing more about poisons can help me deal with them and help others too. It’s a win-win.”
“Yeah,” Alex agreed wholeheartedly.
At last, the duo entered one of the cursed areas.
[Corrupted Forest(Recommended Level: 35]
It was once again a land with a much higher level of recommendation. And while it might look like Alex had been touched by Olivia’s competitiveness, the reality was that there wasn’t any weaker leveling ground.
Alex also didn’t mind going against higher leveled opponents. In usual gaming, that was quite a common routine.
Remia was also fine. She knew monsters’ patterns and their weak points. If she established a connection with the corrupted forest, she would be able to stop them flawlessly and take out her new skills.
And that was what the duo would leverage upon.
Alex confirmed their plan, “Before you establish the connection, I will protect you with all I got. Then, you will trap those monsters, and we will kill them together. I, with my sword, and you, with your poison.”
Remia nodded vigorously, “That’s right.”
“Let’s do it then, Remia,” Alex chuckled and took a few more steps forward.
Behind him, Remia closed her eyes. She joined her hands together and started building up her connection.
For forest fairies, it was extremely hard to connect to the cursed lands. They always had a second plan, which was to bring a part of their pure forest with them. In her inventory, Remia had a few seeds and wooden oaks.
Those would help her if need be.
But once again, her eyes snapped in surprise.
[You have connected to the Corrupted Forest.]
[Your connection with the Corrupted Forest is out of the world.]
[You have achieved the feat that no forest fairy had ever done!]
[You have learned a new skill.]
[Berserker Curse.]
Remia stood in a daze.
Once again, she had connected to the forest in the blink of an eye. Even better, it was the Corrupted Forest! Moreover, she had learned a skill from this connection! No one, even her mother, had done such a feat!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, the strong forest fairies had connected to the cursed lands before. However, their connection was not as good as Remia’s.
She just did splendid work!
BANG!
At the same time, Alex confronted the first enemy.
The monster before him was called Bush Ball.
[Bush Ball Lv. 35 HP: 1500/1500 MP: 500/500]
He was one of the common monsters. His form was that of a small bush that could curl up into a ball. His remarkable move was turning into a ball. He would slam into players mercilessly.
His second move was spreading his form out. He would become a bush that would let out some dangerous seeds. It would also be hard to hit him in that form since most of his form would be fake.
Alex drew a slash and inflicted significant damage, however.
“I can tell which part is fake. You better become a ball,” Alex chuckled.
As if following his orders, the Bush Ball wrapped himself into a ball. His speed rose, and he vividly dashed toward Alex. He was so fast that sparks would come out from their collision.
But before Alex thrust his sword, Remia’s skill came from behind him.
She had used the same skill as before against the hoodlums. From the ground, roots emerged. Those stopped the monster perfectly, trapping him in its grasp!
Alex was surprised as he didn’t expect that.
He turned around and said, “Try your poison! I will keep an eye on him.”
“Okay!” Remia replied back; her voice was loud due to her inward shock.
This time, her new skill came out slowly. But it did, making Remia’s eyes sparkle. Since things seemed to improve at a rapid pace, her heart palpitated.
She became more eager to train her abilities.
