Chapter 40

“Take it.” The Treant Overlord threw the glass bottle filled with demon power to Seuss.

Seuss carefully put the glass bottle into his backpack.

Elite War Treant Gru silently turned and left. However, this was only a dungeon. Where could Gru go?

Standing at the edge of the forest, Gru dug his roots deep into the soil and desperately grew until he was a towering tree.

…

Seeing Gru becoming a towering tree, the Treant Overlord closed his eyes and prayed for Gru.

He hoped that Gru would be able to accompany the God of Nature from now on.

Having fought alongside the Treant Overlord for hundreds of years and guarding him for hundreds of years, Gru was unwilling to attack the Treant Overlord..

However, he also understood that Seuss and the others were here to help the Treant Overlord free himself.

The Treant Overlord had been invaded by the demonic power for hundreds of years and had almost become one with it. Even if Seuss and the others did not come, they would only be able to hold on for a few more decades.

The Goddess of Light had yet to return to her original position. It would take a long time for her to create the real holy water.

Since the hope had disappeared, there was no point in waiting any longer. It was better to die decisively. There was no need to wait until the power of demons corroded him before being killed by the heroes.

“Let’s fight. We will give you the last battle,” Seuss said loudly and declared war on the Treant Overlord.

“I’m a slayer of giant dragons, the enemy of the evil demons. I once galloped on the battlefield, and now my strength has been sealed. However, this battle won’t be inferior to any battle in my life.” The Treant Overlord was also roaring madly.

The battle began.

“Madman, charge forward,” Seuss commanded Madman to block the BOSS.

“Pfft.” Madman spat out the potion bottle in his mouth. With a layer of red light on his body, he charged towards the Treant Overlord.

Bang!

The Treant Overlord was different from the other elite war treants. The attacks of the elite war treants were all launched by tree branch-like arms. However, the Treant Overlord combined many tree branches together to form two incomparably thick arms.

With a ruthless punch, he slammed his fist into Madman’s shield.

-456

Utterly terrifying damage appeared above Madman’s head, but Madman did not retreat a single step. At least until the red light disappeared, Madman could not retreat.

This was a warrior’s skill, Overlord Body. It was immune to knockback.

As long as the skill lasts, Madman will not take a step back.

“Come, let’s see if you humans after hundreds of years can compare to those seniors who fought on the battlefield!” The Treant Overlord became even crazier, and his aged face began to distort.

No one replied to him.

Daydreamer was healing Madman. One punch had almost put Madman to death. This kind of attack power is unparalleled.

A frost arrow hit the Treant Overlord, and a frozen land appeared on the tree trunk.

As for Heart of the Holy Light, he was now acting as a meat shield for Madman.

Seuss, on the other hand, had already entered stealth mode and was preparing to stab the Treant Overlord in the back.

Of course, it was not so easy to control an overlord-level monster. Backstab was probably useless.

Because this was an expert-level dungeon, the monsters were greatly strengthened, and even the elite war treants were comparable to the overlords outside.

As for the Treant Overlord, there was no need to mention it. Seuss even suspected that the Treant Overlord was comparable to a level 15 overlord monster in the outside world.

Fortunately, the Treant Overlord had drunk the fake holy water, and the demon power in his body had temporarily disappeared. Otherwise, Seuss would not have any hope of winning.

Although the Treant Overlord’s attack power was ridiculously high, more than twice that of the elite war treants, his defensive power was not that terrifying. In fact, it was not even comparable to the elite war treants.

The modification from the power of demons had its advantages and disadvantages. If the Treant Overlord still had the power of demons, his defense would naturally not become his weakness.

But now, the barkless tree trunk of the Treant Overlord could not withstand much damage.

Bang!

Another punch came, and Heart of Holy Light flew high into the air. The Treant Overlord did not kill, but only sent Heart of Holy Light flying. However, Heart of Holy Light still only had a little health left.

-107

Behind the Treant Overlord, Seuss stabbed the Treant Overlord’s roots, and the damage value floated above the Treant Overlord’s head.

The Treant Overlord was now close to madness. It was almost impossible to sense Seuss, who was in stealth mode.

-54

A second later, bleeding damage appeared again.

Roar, roar, roar!

The Treant Overlord went completely crazy. His brain, which had been invaded by the power of demons for hundreds of years, finally could not hold on any longer. The Treant Overlord turned back into a Twisted Tree Spirit again.

This was not a good thing. The Treant Overlord only wanted to die in battle, so he did not kill.

However, the Twisted Tree Spirit was different. The only thought on this completely chaotic giant tree was to destroy everything in front of it.

Bang!

Bang!

Punch after punch, Heart of Holy Light and Madman simultaneously blocked the Twisted Tree Spirit’s fists. The damage from every strike was borne by the two of them.

If not for that, even having a defense like Madman would not have been enough to withstand it.

“Hold on! As long as you hold on, we will win!” Seuss shouted loudly.

The demon power of the Twisted Tree Spirit was temporarily depleted by the fake holy water. The current Twisted Tree Spirit was just a warrior without any skills.

As long as they could withstand the attack of the Twisted Tree Spirit, there would be no suspense in the following battle.

Daydreamer waved his staff frantically and a white light ball flew out towards Madman and Heart of Holy Light.

Apart from that, the two of them also continuously drank their potions.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Frost Arrows flew out one after another and smashed onto the body of the Twisted Tree Spirit.

Ice magic can slow the enemy’s movements, but the Twisted Tree Spirit was too big, and the area affected by the frost arrows was too small, so it has not been effective.

Up until now, the frozen land created by the frost arrows had only occupied one-fifth of the Twisted Tree Spirit’s body, and its speed had not slowed down significantly.

Only Seuss kept moving behind the Twisted Tree Spirit. As long as his skill’s cooldown ended, he would stab the Twisted Tree Spirit in the back.

Backstab, which could cause 0.7 seconds of stun, could only make the Twisted Tree Spirit stop for a moment, but it was still good that it could be slowed down for a short while.

Boom! Boom!

The Twisted Tree Spirit spun two consecutive rounds, smashing Madman and Heart of Holy Light to the ground. However, after smashing them to the ground, the Twisted Tree Spirit did not continue attacking. Instead, it suddenly turned around and faced Seuss, who was behind him, and swung his fist.

Bang!
