Roman and Freya extinguished the bonfire and followed Brando out. They guessed that Brando's change might have something to do with the glaring black light from before, but they didn't even know how the black light was produced. Only the future Romaine had seen the soul crystal on Brando's hand, and she also knew that he had a very magical ring that could summon the wind to kill his enemies.
That's right, he also gave her a ring. Roman especially liked the black and white spider silk patterns on the ring. In Bucce, or rather in the entire World of Light, it was not common to use spider silk as decorations, but the rarer it was, the more she cherished it.
She just didn't know if the ring had the same magical power.
This was a side of Brando that she didn't know. The future Romaine was full of curiosity as she looked at the back of the young man standing in the valley in the early morning. She only felt that everything with Brando was full of mysteries and secrets.
"Brando, what happened?" Compared to Roman's nonchalant attitude, Freya was more serious. This girl with a long ponytail thought that her responsibility was to share some of Brando's worries.
"Nothing big, but we should leave this place as soon as possible." Brando suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said. He pulled out the Elven sword, and the barren rocks reflected a dim light. To be honest, he really didn't know how to explain the magic absorption reaction to Freya and Roman.
In short, it was a spontaneous action of high-grade magic items to steal low-grade energy. But magic items below 40 OZ of strength would rarely have such a reaction. But no matter what, he couldn't explain these professional terms to Freya and Roman in such a short time.
Freya looked at him worriedly, but didn't ask any more questions.
Brando looked down at the valley. There was no movement below, but he still felt insecure. He could only let Freya put on the armor and let Roman prepare the hook. Freya, on the other hand, was already wearing the Half Plate of the Wind Empress, and she could just put it on. But she did not have any professional training, and her speed was not a factor.
Roman was nervous and a little excited. She wanted to help, but she was afraid of being scolded by Freya. Although she and Freya were close friends, the ponytailed girl was merciless when she got angry. Moreover, she knew that she would only make things worse if she helped.
Brando wasn't in a hurry, but he was more worried that the strong magic ripples would cause the monsters in the valley. That would be interesting.
At the thought of this, he couldn't help but raise the card in his hand in shock. He didn't expect that the most important item in the Gironde wasn't the Thorn of Light, but this card. A magic item with 40 OZ of strength and above. What kind of concept was that? He remembered that he only saw it for the first time in the fifth year of the game.
In the long Chaos Era, human and elven sorcerers couldn't solve the problem of how to inject the second level of power into magic items. And this problem was solved by a genius in the Twilight of the Moon (Chaos 471).
This genius was Tuman, the Elemental Emperor.
Tuman's invention of the Sacred Rune Engraving technology completely solved the problem of instilling the second level of power into magic items. It was only until then that it was possible to create magic items with 40 OZ of strength and above.
Brando didn't doubt that the mysterious pattern on the back of the card was the Sacred Rune. It was just that he had never seen such a complicated Sacred Rune. It wasn't the Wind Empress Rune of the Elves, nor the Fire God Rune of the Cruz people. As for the Sea King Rune of the Ellanta, although he wasn't familiar with it, it definitely wasn't like this.
He stared at the complicated pattern and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The skills passed down by Tuman had been revolutionary for nearly a thousand years. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Sacred Runes of the modern era to have such a complicated pattern. Unless this was an ancient artifact?
But just as he was wondering, the card in his hand suddenly floated up without any warning and shot a black beam of light into the gray sky. Not long after, another beam of light shot up into the sky from the southeast mountains.
Resonance!
Brando didn't have time to react and could only watch the scene unfold in a daze. He was about to go crazy because the magic reaction this time was even bigger. He estimated that the Madara army that was more than ten miles away should be alarmed. The only thing that could produce a resonance reaction was a part of the set. Brando didn't expect that the card in his hand was a set, and there was a resonance set in the Zevail Mountain Path.
And what was worse was that they were in the resonance range.
"Brando?"
"Brando, what's the matter?" Roman and Freya spoke at the same time. This time, even if they were fools, they knew that there was something wrong with the card in Brando's hand.
"I'll explain it to you later. Have you put on your armor?" Brando took one last look at the valley below and asked in an urgent tone.
Freya nodded.
The strong magic reaction had already caused the shadows of the magic servants to appear in the valley. Brando saw a few young Rotten Beasts passing through the dry valley below. He didn't dare to delay and immediately ordered Roman and Freya to throw away as much weight as possible and head east along the cliff.
Dry food and water were important reserves, but they couldn't be used at this time. Brando only carried the basic equipment and a few rolls of rope. Each of them kept a torch and threw away the other necessary weights. They had to race against time. Along the way, more and more Rotten Beasts gathered at the bottom of the valley. It was as if the entire Zevail Mountain Path was boiling.
Brando couldn't help but shudder when he saw the situation below. It really was a monster riot. However, he was on the cliff and the first batch of monsters would take at least ten minutes to reach their previous campsite. Even if a few Rotten Beasts saw them from below, their numbers were nothing to worry about.
Brando was really worried that the route of the Demonic Tree patrol on the eastern cliff would be changed because of this sudden change. Therefore, he had to reach the center of the valley before the Golden Demonic Tree heirs arrived.
Only there would he be able to kill the first patrol team.
He knew that the patrol team should have just passed by the river. Even if they turned back immediately, it would take them two hours to reach the center of the valley. In order to farm the Heart of the Golden Demonic Tree, he had come to this dungeon countless times. Every movement was imprinted in his memory. The only thing he was worried about was the difference between reality and the game.
Fortunately, they arrived there just a little bit earlier than the rest of the group. The three of them saw a group of monsters covered in vines rushing from the east. Both sides had discovered each other at almost the same time. The Demonic Trees were about half the height of a human when they stood up. Their bodies were wrapped in root-like vines. They didn't have eyes, but the membrane-like organs on their limbs allowed them to capture all the details of sound.
They were also divided into two types: adult and juvenile. Adult Demonic Trees were very agile and could run through the valley like it was flat ground. They were also good at climbing and were the biggest threat in Brando's heart. However, there was only one adult Demonic Tree in this group of ten, which matched his memory.
"Let's hurry to the top of the mountain before they do." Brando saw the Demonic Trees getting closer and closer and his hands were sweating. There was a huge rock at the top of the mountain. In the game, they could use explosives to loosen it and roll it down to kill the patrolling Demonic Trees and block the valley. Of course, Brando didn't have any explosives in his hands right now, and he couldn't find any at the moment. However, he had the Ring of the Wind Empress, which was much more powerful than explosives.
He looked at the small platform at the top of the mountain and couldn't help but sigh. If it was in the past, he could easily rush there before the adult Demonic Trees. However, because of the paralysis poison, his Dexterity had dropped by 0.3 Energy Rank. He could only rely on Freya and Roman.
Although the two girls didn't understand what Brando was thinking, they still nodded their heads hard. At this critical moment, although Brando didn't say anything, they knew that the monsters in front of them weren't to be trifled with.
Both sides were in a hurry. Freya and Brando were slightly better, but Roman, whose body was slightly weaker, had a pale face and was almost out of breath. Fortunately, because of the time advantage, they reached the top of the mountain first.
However, they were only one step ahead.
Brando and Freya had just climbed up when the adult Demonic Trees appeared. It was a level 22 monster. Brando didn't need to think to know that the chances of winning were zero. However, even if the chances of winning were negative, they still had to go. They couldn't just sit there and wait for death, right?
Brando immediately threw the Ring of the Wind Empress to Freya and shouted, "Attack the joint between the rocks and knock it down. The password is Oss. Do you understand? "
Freya subconsciously caught the ring and was startled, "Brando?"
"Bring it to the index finger. I'll stall this monster. Hurry up." Brando originally wanted to let Roman do it. At least he could save someone to protect himself. However, when he turned around, he saw that Romaine was still far behind.
This was the consequence of being lazy. He couldn't help but shake his head.
Turning around, Brando took a deep breath. He was so nervous that his body stiffened. Although he appeared calm in front of Freya, it didn't mean that he wasn't afraid. The Demonic Trees weren't Rotten Beasts. They had solid Level 1 strength. After losing the Ring of the Wind Empress, he found it hard to believe that he could fight against them.
4.5 Energy Rank Strength, 6 Energy Rank Vitality, 2 Energy Rank Dexterity. High defense and toughness. Skin has corrosive poison. Good at long-range attacks. Has binding ability. Weak fire. Weak slashing. Brando calmed down and remembered the attributes of his opponent. Just from the data, this adult Demonic Tree wasn't too different from an Elite Rotten Beast. However, he knew that the difference between the two of them was like heaven and earth.
Just as Brando thought of this, the vines on the Demonic Tree's body seemed to have come alive. Countless vines flew towards him. He was so scared that he hurriedly rolled to the side to dodge. The vines that looked soft before were now like steel cables piercing into the rock. The surface of the rock immediately emitted a sizzling sound and started to emit white smoke.
Corrosive. This was the scariest thing about the Demonic Trees. Normal swords wouldn't be able to hurt them at all. Instead, they would be damaged by their corrosive skin.
The Demonic Tree heard the sound and knew that it missed. It immediately swung its vines to the side and the vine whip swept towards Brando. The latter cursed in his heart, but he could only continue to roll to dodge. The 'steel cable' swept across the ground, causing rocks to fly everywhere.
The flying rocks hit Brando's eyebrows, causing blood to flow from his forehead. However, he didn't dare to cry out in pain. He grabbed the 'Thorn of Light' and pounced towards the Demonic Tree while it was attacking.
However, at this moment, he was stunned.
He saw a row of green words appear on his retina.
"Do you want to summon, Holy Sword?"
