This was a garden, but what existed here wasn't just the flowers and fruits that were carefully cultivated.
Weeds were always more resilient than flowers. No matter how good the protective measures and pesticides were, pests and harmful beasts were unavoidable.
And if the garden really met with some severe natural disaster or accident, the ones that survived to the very end would be the pests and weeds that the owner didn't like.
In terms of fighting for nutrients and natural resources, wild children that relied on themselves were far stronger than obedient children that waited to be fed.
And when this garden in the void revived, the first things to awaken were naturally these things.
"… That's really killing me …"
Twisted tree spirits and magical plants walked out from the shadows. Each of them had a different appearance. Most of them didn't have faces and obviously lacked intelligence. However, their twisted magic power was doubtlessly the most direct indicator.
Perhaps the feng shui here was too good. Rorschach looked around and didn't see anything shorter than him … He was quite magnanimous when compared to the magical plants and tree spirits that had an average height of seven to eight meters.
They were unable to hide their thirst. The Sunflower left behind a reservoir of nature's power after it became angry. This was what they desired the most.
And in their eyes, these little fellows that were blocking their way didn't even exist.
* Boom! *
The violent explosion shattered the peace that had lasted for hundreds of years on this land.
A high-level spellcaster's fourth-circle fire magic directly exploded on a gigantic tree spirit.
It was common knowledge in the continent to use fire magic against plant-type monsters and summoned creatures like tree spirits. The violent explosion and thick smoke caused the adventurers to cheer … but the next moment, they all stopped in shock.
The black smoke dissipated, and a completely unharmed tree spirit appeared. It waved its dozens of tentacles as if it were a whip and suddenly whipped … at the tree spirit next to it.
That's right, it attacked another gigantic tree spirit. The two gigantic beasts started fighting just like that.
It was likely that there was no such thing as a "small doll" in the tree spirit's mind, not to mention that it wouldn't be attacked by these little things. If it was attacked, it would naturally be the doing of its closest kin.
It was naturally a good thing to cause internal strife among the enemy, but if the internal strife was just an inconspicuous one among the dozens of giants, then it was really not something to be happy about.
Its gigantic body gave it plenty of physical strength. Simple brute force was more than enough to deal with most problems. Not only that, the fact that it was able to take on a fourth-circle spell that countered an elemental attack without taking any damage at all meant that it wasn't a monster that ordinary adventurers could deal with.
The adventurers started quarreling with each other. Rorschach silently shook his head.
"They're not even reliable as cannon fodder. If I don't do anything, they'll probably scatter and flee …"
A team formed at the last minute basically had no cohesion to speak of. Once their lives were in danger, anything could happen.
At this time, Rorschach knew that he had to stand up.
"Don't panic. We don't need to defeat them. The defense system and the teleportation system are all activated. As long as we delay them for a while, we will be safe. The rewards I promised you will be increased by 20%, and the rewards will be calculated separately. If you die in battle, the compensation and medical expenses will be doubled! "
While telling him that the mission wasn't a dead end, a very simple enticement with benefits also had an immediate effect.
"Kaboom."
It was the same fire magic, but this time it was a sixth-level firestorm. Anthony nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Big Tree that silently turned into a pillar of fire.
When it was proven that the enemy wasn't undefeatable, the enticement of benefits was naturally effective. Rorschach saw that Richard had already led his men forward.
But Rorschach wouldn't remind him that the burned Big Tree was obviously much weaker than the other gigantic creatures. And the target he chose now was probably the strongest in this batch.
In an instant, the garden became a battlefield.
Rorschach muttered subconsciously as the sky gradually brightened.
"… I hope I can endure until the real dawn."
In a way, Rorschach underestimated the old flower shop on the third street.
After he led the adventurers and disappeared through the Dimensional Door, this quiet street became lively.
Space Doors, Dimensional Doors, and Teleportation Doors were opened one by one. High-level Great Mages walked out from within. They were first surprised when they saw each other, but then they showed an attitude that it was only natural.
This shop had been silent for so many years. Its reopening meant too many things.
"Is that person back?"
"Witch?"
"Impossible."
"The wood spirits are interfering …"
Too much information was exchanged in the air, but nobody said the name that had become a taboo and troublesome topic. Soon, everything returned to normal.
Many Teleportation Doors brought important people from the Mage Country. There were even a few legendary level nine and level ten SemiGods.
After confirming that no one had any definite information, or at least no one was willing to say it, these busy big shots fell into a strange silence.
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and was about to leave when the situation changed.
A large green Teleportation Door suddenly appeared in everyone's vision.
The adventurers and young Great Mage who had just disappeared were surrounded the moment they walked out of the Teleportation Door.
Rorschach was currently confused. Why did so many top-level Great Mages suddenly appear? And they were surrounding a young man like him?
"Harloys?"
"Hmm? How do you know my surname? "
After Rorschach quickly answered someone's question, the Teleportation Doors suddenly flashed, and these Great Mages instantly disappeared as if they were fleeing for their lives.
