Chapter 134 - Irena's Prowess

"Hmm?" Albert squinted his eyes, looking at the forest. 'This place looks like a rainforest. The humidity… I am afraid it's quite hard to burn this forest.'

Looking at these fifty feet tall trees around him made Albert a bit uncomfortable, not knowing if each of them had been infected by the spirit tree or not.

Shella stepped forward and said, "Milord. Bonk Eyes can allow you to see that. Because there's a Spirit Tree's Consciousness inside that tree, you'll see quite powerful energy in one particular area."

"Hoh? That's going to make everything easier then." Albert nodded and immediately activated the Bonk Eyes by consuming his Bonk Bites since there was no succubus with him anymore.

Those who could do it also immediately activated their Bonk Eyes, making sure they were not ambushed.

They walked through the muddy ground for a minute before they heard a loud noise coming from the front.

There seemed to be a battle up ahead with so much noise produced by them.

Albert looked at the others and nodded his head, planning to check on them before leaving if they thought they could leave the trees to them.

The group approached the battlefield rather quickly because of the Bonk Eyes. But to their surprise, the moment they saw the source of the noises, no one was there.

There were only ten trees moving together. The roots were coming in and out of the ground. When it was inside the ground, the roots became a rope that pulled the entire tree body forward. When it was out, the roots moved forward, so it could pull the body again.

The branches were also scattered around, using the trunks near them to maintain their balance so that the movement didn't trip them even with a 45 degree angle.

The trees had no eyes, but they seemed to be able to sense Albert and the others. It was clear that the trees were moving toward them.

"Ten enemies spotted," Shella informed them without giving away her location. She had been in stealth this whole time to make sure that she could sneak attack anyone that dared to approach their group.

"Well, I'm on the back for now. You all can try fighting them." Albert smiled. "They seem not to have any people yet, so no dryad."

"Understood." Bepe and the others nodded with a serious expression.

"Irena, follow me. Bepe and Jessie will support us." Yale immediately gave the instruction since he had been the small leader under Albert.

"Got it." Irena ran together with Yale, following him to take the attention of all these trees.

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared beneath them in unison and covered their bodies with light.

"This is… the blessing." Yale recognized this power. He felt a quite powerful surge of power that started revolving around his body, making him feel a bit excited to move his body.

"Yes, this is what I've learned from Master. I don't know why but when I learn from Master, I feel like my comprehension has become far faster than usual…"

"I feel the same. Probably, it's Teacher. Do you regret knowing him?" Yale smirked, perfectly knowing there was only one answer for that question.

Irena grinned and leaped into the air. "Of course not!"

They were close to four trees, but due to Yale's presence, half of them needed to focus on Yale.

The other two trees immediately extended their roots to grab Irena's body, thinking about making her their Dryad.

But when their roots touched her, Irena shattered into pieces. Her body turned into thousands of ice crystals that gradually floated to the left, approaching the tree.

After that, the crystals merged into one piece, returning to their original appearance. Irena smirked and raised the right bat that had been covered with her fire.

Swift Bonk.

"Bang!" She struck the trunk with everything she got. As expected, her power alone wasn't enough to crush the trunk, let alone move the tree.

However, the power generated from that bonk instantly was much more powerful. The force knocked the tree away.

The tree ended up leaning sixty degrees, but his body had yet to fall because the roots were holding it. After that, the branches started moving to surround Irena, stopping them from doing another thing.

Because she was still falling to the ground, she had no way to defend herself.

As if showing his progress, Jessie raised his hand and used his spell. "Bonk Projection."

Multiple Bonk Bats appeared in the surrounding, but more importantly, there was one Bonk Bat that formed right beneath Irena.

"?!" Irena looked down and used the bat as her footing before jumping into the air, escaping from the branches. "Haha, it seems that you have gotten some confidence, Jessie!"

She leaped to the trunk that was still tilting and struck it again. "Just fall down!"

"Bonk!"

The force knocked the tree until it fell down.

Irena had truly placed herself well in this situation, considering she chose to attack from the side, preventing the other tree from helping. This way, she could turn it into a one on one situation as long as she defeated the tree fast enough.

"It seems I can still bonk them a few times unlike the monsters in the Pride Kingdom." She couldn't help but touch her boobs. "Is this the reason…"

Because of the spells she learned from Albert, she realized that heavy armor would just hinder them. Even without much protection, she wouldn't have that much of a problem since the Bonk Bat only needed to brush them to release its power.

So, she had been wearing something light like her bolero and short pants to induce their horniness instead of protection. She thought this was what made them like this.

"Whatever…" Without hesitation, she struck the trees a few more times while making sure that the bonk power was simply launching them even deeper to the ground. And due to the resistance from the ground, the trunk was gradually crushed, and Irena found the green-colored crystal known as the Tree Spirit's Consciousness.

She destroyed the crystal before raising her head, seeing the tree next to her was getting angry.
