Chapter 813 More Eyes

Whoooooooooosh.

For some time now Wain has been fighting against tentacles, eye-monsters, and lightning beasts, but he still hasn't defeated a single enemy, on the contrary, there are only more monsters. Now, instead of eleven eye-monsters, there were thirty as Wain still did not understand how he could get rid of the tentacles.

'Damn... Gradually I'm starting to get tired... I thought my jaws could completely destroy the tentacles by eating their energy, but even so, they keep regenerating.' Wain muttered inwardly as he glanced at Virion.

Virion had spent a lot of energy over the past few minutes controlling each tentacle, so faint exhaustion was evident in his gaze, though he tried his best to hide it.

The area around the glowing tree was almost destroyed, as along with the forest, it was now a lifeless wasteland. Every laser blast destroyed an area the size of a mansion, so in time even all the monsters fled from the tree.

The only ones left were the spectators on the hills and cliffs. The area next to them was not affected at all since it was easy for them to block the lasers. Alucard was the worst opponent, so no one wanted to piss him off.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the aura of one of the spectators intensified as a massive green magic circle appeared over the entire damaged area. However, it did not cover the glowing tree, as if unwilling to interfere with Wain and Virion's fight.

'What's going on...?' Wain wondered while in confusion as he looked beyond the tree.

A powerful green glow emanated from the magic circle that had amazing power. At the places from the explosion, the soil began to regenerate and grow roots, and many sprouts appeared on the ground.

In a moment, the lifeless fields were covered with tall trees with dense foliage. They were surrounded by many unusual plants, and on each tree was a unique red flower.

Whooooooooosh.

One of the eye-monsters decided to attack Wain as the laser headed toward him. Wain just tilted his head as the laser swept next to his neck, quickly reaching the top of the hill in the distance.

'Agh... This forest is quite beautiful, but it looks like someone will soon have to recover it again...' Wain inwardly muttered, watching for the laser to explode the next moment.

However, suddenly the red flower on the tree opened as a small, palm-sized magic circle appeared in front of it. The petals of the flower lit up as the magic circle in a heartbeat absorbed the laser, preventing it from exploding.

"Damn... Did you really have to ruin all the fun?" Virion complained with a frowned look while shaking his head, "Well, at least no one will touch the shining tree."

'Hey... Would you like some advice? The Abyss Artist asked in a calm manner as a devious smile appeared on his face, 'It often happens in our world that the solution to a problem is in it itself. Like, in a tree with venomous thorns from whose poison there is only one antidote and it is under the bark.'

'What the hell are you talking about...? If you figured out how to kill them, then just tell me!' Wain inwardly exclaimed while in confusion.

Wain wanted an answer to his question, but the Abyss Artist was silent as if on purpose.

Whooooooosh.

Virion waved his hand as all fifteen tentacles simultaneously attacked Wain. They moved very quickly, but Wain's reflexes were excellent, so he easily dodged the attack by flinging himself aside. However, Virion knew that this would not be enough to wound Wain, so the next moment eleven eye-monsters attacked.

'Fuck!' Wain dashed back a few meters as most of the lasers flew past him, but one flew with a slight delay, so it was aimed directly at him.

Whooooooooosh.

Wain's pupils narrowed, a dark layer of energy covered the sword blade and he counterattacked. The sword collided with the laser and the dark energy knocked the laser aside. On its way the laser pierced one of the tentacles, cutting it in two and reaching the hill where it was consumed by a red flower.

'Damn... I can dodge it, but I'll end up with another one of those weird monsters... At this rate, I'll never get this problem solved.' Wain inwardly muttered while looking at the severed tentacle with a tired expression.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly the red tentacle turned gray and broke into several pieces until it completely disintegrated like handfuls of ash.

"No way... All this time the decision was right in front of me..." Wain muttered with a dazed look while in disbelief, then his gaze went to Virion who now had a troubled face.

'Shit... Why is this happening now? I thought I could drain him even more but it looks like he'll destroy my artifact soon...' Virion muttered inwardly while shaking his head as if his plan had failed completely.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Wain took a step forward as he turned into a dark flash, instantly finding himself next to one eye-monster.

"Hey, be so kind as to help me solve a problem." Wain said in a calm voice with a devious smirk on his face before reaching out.

Eye-monster tried to run away, but its tentacles were too slow, so Wain easily grabbed it like a very big ball.

"I don't think you'll shoot just because I say so I'll have to go straight to more radical methods." Wain said with a slight smile on his face as he thrust his sword into the ground and tugged at one of the tentacles.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The monster shuddered as energy headed for its pupils and after a while, a purple laser flew out of the massive eye. It was headed for one of the fifteen portals from where the tentacles attacked.

Booooooooom.

The laser exploded as the portal with the tentacle was completely destroyed. The tentacle failed to regenerate and a gray spot appeared on the sphere in Virion's hands as if to show Wain's progress.
