Act XXXI. Dryad
"Warcraft?"
Princess Ellifers's shoulders trembled slightly when she heard the term, and she remembered the horrors of the fire-eating Sierra and the ice dragon Aceris, monsters that were completely different from those beasts they had encountered in the hunt in the past, and they dominated the power of the elements and magic, a nightmare that ordinary soldiers simply could not deal with.

"Lord Viscount, what kind of monster is it?"
As for Shiloh, he was used to Warcraft, and when he heard Viscount Wellington's words, his first reaction was to ask about the type of Warcraft, and at the same time, a conjecture appeared in his chest.
"Yes, it's a tree."
After a moment's hesitation, Viscount Wellington told the truth what he had seen.
"Trees?"
Calm as Vera Hill also frowned slightly, after all, a tree would be called a monster, even in this world, it is quite rare.
"Tell me the details."
"Yes, sir."
Viscount Wellington calmed himself down a little, and then explained slowly.
"The soldiers stationed in the northeast noticed movement in the grass, and thought it was a beast or something, but after going to check it, they found that it was not a beast at all, but a wriggling thorn!"
"You mean thorns?"
Shiloh immediately thought of the monster he had encountered in the game, and blurted out.
"Yes, arm-thick, at the end of the thorns, is a huge tree, and according to the soldiers who looked at it, it seems that people can be seen wrapped around the tree."
"Does Mr. Ian Grey know anything?"
Naturally, Verahir noticed Shilo's speechless appearance, and guessed that the young man must know something, so he asked.
"Well, I once read about the Tree Beast in the church's library, well, the one that's not open to outsiders."
Shiloh moved out of the church's private collection as a cover-up, and then began to explain according to his in-game memories.
"The Misty Forest was originally developed by Trasil, the new sprout of the World Tree, and the forest contains a large amount of discrete magic, and after years of accumulation, some trees have also become spiritual, and finally formed a new species, the Tree Demon."
Tree demons can be seen everywhere in the Misty Forest dungeon of "Rainbow Verse", and Shiloh guesses that it is due to the disappearance of the boundary between the dungeon and the wild, so they appear here, but fortunately, these tree demons are only at the level of bronze on average, and in front of the regular army, it is just a big trouble.
"The Dryad lives by absorbing the life force of living creatures, usually moving to places frequented by wild beasts, disguised as ordinary trees, waiting for other creatures to approach, and then using its thorny tentacles to cling to its prey, the smarter Dryad will even use the captured creatures as bait to lure other larger creatures."
Shiloh remembered that because the demonized thorns dropped by the Dryad were processed and used as a good material for armor, for a long time, the Misty Forest Logging Team - only farming Dryad mobs and not bosses - became one of the ways for many players to make money, and Shiloh himself brushed for a while, but not to make money, but to make materials for other friends in the guild.
"Let's go check it out first."
Verahir stood up and picked up a longsword leaning against the table.
"This way."
Following the soldiers who reported the situation, Viscount Wellington led the way, and Verahill and the others followed.
Shiloh noticed that the soldiers in the camp seemed to be curious about what was happening, but because of military regulations, they only communicated secretly in private, and none of them dared to leave their posts without permission.
It seems that this is the first time the Third Legion has encountered the Dryad.
Although the camp was not small, the steps of the four people were very fast, and several people arrived at the place of the accident.
"I have already ordered additional people to be sent to watch, and the demonic beast has no intention of moving on."
Viscount Wellington pointed to the bushes not far away, and a few dark green thorns just skimmed by, grinding against the air and making a whistling sound, which made people shudder.
"That's it."
Shiloh followed Viscount Wellington's finger and saw a sight that he had seen many times in the past game, and it was extremely familiar.
It was a large tree that was three meters high, the original dry bark was now wriggling like the skin of a snake, and the green leaves, as if they had life, were constantly trembling, making a rustling sound, and you could see that at the root of the tree, there was a figure dressed in white who was tightly tied there by a rattan, and it seemed that it was a newly captured prey, unlike the corpse that Shiloh had seen many times that had been drained of vitality.
"Hey, that's ...... Eles? ”
Seeing the person imprisoned by the Tree Demon, Princess Elyfils was the first to discover the identity of the other party.
"Yes, that's the Els."
Verahill's eyesight is outstanding, and naturally she can see each other's appearance clearly.
"It's not going to be easy, we have to save it quickly."
As she spoke, there was no panicked look on Verahill's face, and she stood still in front of the restless Tree Demon, slowly pulling out the long sword that was in the sheath.
The longsword glowing with cold light showed a little pale blue glow in the sun's light, and the magic power condensed, and even a frosty mist formed around the sword, Shiloh knew that this was the epic weapon of the Strass family, Frost.
The legendary sword that can make the ice burn for thousands of years, when wielded, even the air will ignite with ice-blue flames, and the dazzling appearance will impress even if Shiloh has only seen it once or twice.
Vera Hill, who has a golden mid-level and a stigmata that has begun to show its level strength, is naturally imposing as soon as she makes a move.
With a single sword swing at the raging Tree Demon, Shiloh felt the stirring of the entire sea of magic.
It was the roar of karmic fire from the deepest part of the Ember Canyon in the Fire Elemental Realm, it was a blue flame that burst out of ice as fuel, and with the frosty sword wind, the blue slash roared towards the Dryad.
The Tree Demon tried to resist, it raised its thorny tentacles high, but it was cut off completely, feeling the desperate gap in the strength of the two, the whole tree immediately entered a trembling state, and the leaves made a rattling sound, but before he could take the next move, the sword wind had already reached the trunk of the Tree Demon.
The devastating ice flames tore through the tough bark, severing the thick trunk in an instant, and the dark green sap gushing out of it was evaporated before it hit the ground, and the wind was sweeping, letting out an inaudible wail, and the remaining thorny tentacles of the tree demon twitched a few times, and then there was no more movement.
And all this happens in a sword of the sword.
This is the power of the gold level, if it is said that the Flame Burner Trasher deliberately suppressed his strength and fought with Shiloh and Princess Eliphiles in his bronze body, then Vera Hill at this moment is condensing his powerful strength as a gold-level combat power in a single sword, with the special effects of epic weapons, Shiloh dares to say that even if he was in his heyday, he could not easily take the sword just now.
And Shiloh also knows that in the near future, Vera Hill. Strass will continue to advance in the future, and after the stigmata awakens, Verahir of the Flame will become a terrifying legend that appears in the nightmare of every Wendland soldier.
But now, at least Shiloh knows, she's going to be a nightmare for these Dryads in the Misty Forest.
