"You guys, it's too late to regret it now, even if you want to run later, you won't be able to run away. ”

Cheruth crouched on the ground, her hands gathering an incomparably rich life system magic and placed it at the root of a vine that was climbing on a dwarf shrub and said.

"Hmph, how is that possible," Lucy pouted and looked at Cheruth with some unpleasantness, "We are the strongest team of the Demon Tail Guild, how could we give up the task we promised." ”

"But at the beginning, we said that your mission was only to bring us to the neighborhood, and you were not obligated to do the rescue operations later. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, you don't want to get rid of the magic guide reward promised to us, do you?"

"I'm just feeling that you're really a weird squad. ”

"Huh, are you underestimating us?"

"Because, isn't it true that ordinary mercenary adventure teams should be profit-seeking and risk-avoiding?" said Chelus, grinning as she looked at Natsu behind Lucy, who was familiarizing herself with the surrounding terrain, "such a dangerous and potentially thankless mission is something that only a fool like you would do." ”

Lucy glared at Cheruth.

"Don't talk as if we really agreed to be on the same front as you, but just now it's very clear, we're only responsible for making the illusion that reinforcements with Silver Wings are coming, and we're not responsible for anything in frontal combat. ”

"It's too much, Sister Lucy, can you bear to see me being besieged by those weird people like this cute Lori?"

"No, let's not talk about the fact that I call myself a cute Lori, who just said that he was a secret weapon that could drag that top-level magical beast and cause difficulties to the Black Tiger Mercenary Group?"

In fact, although people say that, they are very uneasy in their hearts. ”

"I can't feel ...... at all"

"Sister Lucy, you can't do this, you should leave the complaint to Natsu. ”

Lucy looked at Cheruth with a black line on her head.

"You...... Aren't you nervous at all? You're going to face that kind of monster later. ”

"Is that swollen again, there are more top-level demonic beasts I've usually seen in the depths of the forest......

"I don't know why you have such a superior expression, but I'm sure I'm an idiot to worry about you a little bit. ”

Lucy shook her head and turned to look for her companion.

"We'll work with you to try to make a big move to attract them, of course, it's mostly you, and if you can't attract that thunderhorned rhino, don't expect us to share much of the task of luring the enemy. ”

"Sister Lucy, I'm still a child, wouldn't it be too cruel to say this?"

"Don't fool us," Lucy turned her head and glanced at Cheruth deeply, "I've been a mercenary for so long, I don't dare to say anything else, at least I've learned a lot about people, whether it's the unoffset aristocratic temperament of Sekaria or the natural wildness and strange sense of maturity in you, it's not something that ordinary people have...... The apprentice of the seven-star sage of the water system, and he is such a young child, but he has a powerful life system magic that is comparable to that of a six-star arcane mage?

Chelus shrugged.

"Otherwise, do you want me to say that I am actually a very powerful magician, but when I was tracking down a mysterious organization of men in black, I was unfortunately knocked unconscious, poured poison, and unexpectedly rejuvenated, and since then I have embarked on the road of a 10,000-year-old schoolboy with the aura of death?"

“............”

I don't know what this kid is talking about, but I always feel like the Grim Reaper elementary school student seems to be very powerful.

Chelus read this in Lucy's eyes.

"Anyway, no matter what your identity is, my companion and I don't really care," Lucy scratched her hair, and finally decided to ignore the inexplicable answer of Cheruth, "Like you said, mercenaries are all about taking advantage and avoiding harm, as long as you really have the strength to hold back the top Warcraft, even if we do our best to help you fight, it will be no problem." ”

“...... There's really no protagonist Fan's speech," Cheruth muttered as Lucy walked away, "But, that's reassuring, right, because the NPC's sentence or two doesn't even understand the situation, and the hot-blooded protagonist only exists in the comics." ”

“...... Don't worry, except for the one for Sister Gray Wind, I ate all the rest of the leaves I took from Grandpa Old Tree, although the replication effect is only two hours, but it's much longer than Ultraman's three-minute real man. ”

"It's okay to be ...... Cheruth"

Carried by the Grey Wind, Sekaria said with some concern.

Grey Wind was reluctant to let humans other than Cerus ride on him, although he didn't hate Sekaria, but the fact that Cerus was injured because of her still made Grey Wind a little angry, but he had no choice in his current state, so Grey Wind had to obey Cerus's arrangement.

“...... It's okay, don't look at her like that, it's actually quite measured. ”

Gray Wind was actually very worried, and before leaving, Cheruth repeatedly assured her that she would run for her life even if she revealed her identity and ability to use it at a critical moment, so she agreed to this plan to split up.

According to Cheruth, she will find a way to create chaos on the outskirts of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group and attract the attention of the top demonic beast, and Grey Wind took the opportunity to carry Sekaria into the valley as fast as possible, allowing Silverwing and Garnes in the valley to break through.

"But, that's the Thunderhorn Rhino, won't Chyruth be in danger?"

Grey Wind cautiously slowed down, taking advantage of the natural aura provided by the leaves of the old tree that Cherus had given her makeshift to her neck, Grey Wind managed to lead Sekaria closer to the valley, but if she continued on, she would be discovered.

"Cheruth's copying ability, the stronger the copying object, the more powerful Cheruth becomes," Gray Wind said, making a posture of crawling on the ground ready to rush out at any time, "Before leaving, Cheruth ate all the leaves except for this one on my body." ”

Sensing Grey Wind's movements, Sekaria hesitated for a moment, and cautiously leaned over and hugged Grey Wind's neck.

"Actually, I'm still a little strange, what kind of monster in the forest has leaves on it?"

"That's not Warcraft. ”

That's right, Grandpa Lao Shu is not a Warcraft, but even Helan, one of the most powerful Warcraft in the forest, once said that in this forest, there will be a few Warcraft that dare to say that they can compete with the old tree, but none of the Warcraft dares to say that they will definitely be able to win against the old tree.

The ability of the old tree copied by Cheruth is not magic or vindictiveness, but the most basic, powerful plant talent.

"Right now, Forest is the home of Cheruth...... It's coming!"

As soon as Grey Wind's words fell, Sekaria couldn't help but grow her mouth.

In an instant, the forest around the entire valley seemed to come alive, and countless thick green vines burst out of the ground, as if to entangle everything that was moving.

Grey Wind and Sekaria, who were already close to the valley, could clearly hear the shouts and wails of the humans coming from ahead, and although they had the leaves given by Cheruth to protect them from the vines, it didn't diminish their shock at the scene.

It's as if the whole of nature is angry, making every living being feel small.

The attack of the vines lasted for nearly five minutes, and then, a powerful and scorching heat wave suddenly spread from the front, and all the vines and most of the plants in the affected area were instantly dehydrated and dried, and they were on the verge of death.

The heat wave was too fast for Grey Wind and Sekaria to react, but from the leaves around Grey Wind's neck emitted a turquoise light, and a life-filled barrier was placed around them to protect them.

"Yes, it's the magic of the Tucker Sage!" Sekaria looked in awe at the dead plants around her, "The fusion of fire and earth, blazing magic!"

In an instant, almost all the water in an entire area was evaporated, is this the strength of the so-called seven-star sage of human beings, and Gray Wind was also a little afraid in his heart, if it weren't for this leaf of the old tree that condensed the magic power of life, they would definitely be hit hard by surprise in the large-scale magic attack just now.

Is this kind of existence the opponent of Cheruth this time?

A wave of regret welled up in Grey Wind's heart, although she and Cheruth had seen top-level demonic beasts in the forest, they had not fought these powerful beings standing at the top of the continent head-on...... It was too hasty to promise Cheruth, even if he could copy the power of the old tree, would Cheruth, who was not the body of the old tree, really be the opponent of such a human powerhouse.

Just as Grey Wind was hesitating whether to abort the operation and return to Chelus's side to take her away, suddenly, another powerful wave of water magic came from the front again.

"Water system, it's Master Heilan!"

Sekaria exclaimed, the Silverwing Mercenaries and Garnes who were trapped in the valley had apparently sensed the anomaly outside the valley, and they had apparently not given much thought to the cause of the anomaly, but had quickly seized the opportunity to begin their own breakout.

For Cherus and Sekaria, this is undoubtedly a good sign - at least Garnes's side has not lost the strength and morale to take the initiative.

The astonishing scene in the forest continued, the air that had been dry from the blazing magic a second ago became extremely moist in an instant, and at the same time, the shrill sound of lightning tearing through the air, the roar of thunder, and the low and terrifying roar of beasts resounded through the surrounding forest, and countless vines once again relentlessly emerged from the land, and continued to attack the humans who dared to invade the natural territory in place of the predecessors who had been destroyed by the heat.

The mere imposition of the battle is hard to imagine at the very center of the conflict at the mouth of the valley.

"Ash, Ash, we're going to find my brother quickly!"

Sekaria, who had never been through such a scene, looked like a frightened rabbit, and even Gray Wind, who was a little unimpressed with her, had to admire that this girl was still able to maintain a certain calm.

According to the plan, I went to the people in the valley, or hurried back to take Chelus out of such a dangerous place, and just as Grey Wind was in extreme hesitation as his sister, suddenly the nearby land trembled, although it was only a slight tremor, but it was enough to give the illusion that a small earthquake had occurred.

"That's, that's ...... Cheruth?"

Grey Wind looked up in the direction of Cheruth and the others, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Countless thick green vines were intertwined and woven together, extending upwards little by little, and then stretching out two arms-like giant vines from both sides, as if a green giant with only one foot was standing there, swinging his arm towards the thunder-horned giant rhinoceros who was participating in the siege of Hailan at the mouth of the valley, and slammed it on the opponent's back.

Cheruth, that's the Cheruth I've always wanted to protect as a sister?

The green vine giant's figure like a fearless fighter was reflected in Gray Wind's eyes, which suddenly made her feel powerless, Cheruth her, she already has such strength.

But......

Grey Wind gritted his teeth.

"Plug...... You, get it right!"

Sekaria was stunned for a moment, then quickly leaned on Grey Wind's body and hugged her neck.

...... No matter what becomes of Cheruth, she is my sister.

Sister, how can you lose to your sister.

"Hold on, I'll do as fast as I can. ”

Gray Wind spoke, and an unusual wind element was already flowing around him.

Now that Chelsea has decided to help them, what she can do as an older sister is to do her best to help her sister fulfill her wishes!
