To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 27: Queen Bee Slayer - Father Tree Slayer

Boom!

A Queen Bull that was four times the size of the Guardian had fallen to the ground. Creates a fairly large damage hole in one particular position.

[Queen Bull Hornet]

Ars was at an altitude of 10m from the surface.

Queen Bull Hornet is only about 4 meters tall. Ars made a bet to find out what was at high altitude and eliminating [Bad Omen] could affect other bosses besides Killer Bee as well.

Ars named that strategy, [Diversion].

[Status debuff: Bad O**n]

Bad omen status disappeared. Looks like it worked.

Queen Bull, previously confused, starts to move by flying upwards.

Ars hiding behind a tree. With [Thermal Mode], he watched the movements of Queen Bull, who suddenly shot right at him.

[Status debuff: Bad Omen]

"I'm dead!"

Ars suddenly jumped to the side. Queen Bull just made a hole in the tree where Ars was hiding.

"I'm an idiot! Of course it won't won't work on a flying Area Boss!"

Ars regretted his stupidity and felt ashamed of himself.

On the other hand, Queen Bull Hornet has locked Ars as its target.

"Shit!"

Queen Bull immediately shot out like a cannonball. It felt like Ars felt his [Sword-launch] skill firsthand.

Ars didn't have a chance to attack. Because the Queen Bull's speed and intensity have made it difficult for Ars to move.

Even [Warning Provider] is like an antivirus software that keeps warning Ars about a danger.

The biggest problem in that battle is one, Ars didn't have a shield or shelter. It was very difficult for him to find an opportunity to strike back.

Choice of pitting weapons? Impossible. Ars will definitely battered first before he can beat Queen Bull.

The only way is only one. "Run away!"

Ars put all his strength into running.

"Omagah!"

Even so, Queen Bull can still chase and attack Ars.

"Nooo!"

Ars can barely avoid it.

"Wooohoho!"

Ars, being forced to jump forward, let his body swirl like a tire, then hit a large root.

Tit~

"What is this?!"

Ars looked back and found a tree that was twice as big as the others. Even the roots of the tree rose out.

Before he realized it, Queen Bull had returned to showing its fangs.

"Fvck!"

Ars, cornered, has nowhere to run. It forced him to take out two swords as shields.

Crack ~ Crack ~ Crack ~ Crack ~

Suddenly there was a large sound that echoed, and that sound made Queen Bull divert the direction of her flight.

"What, the, actual fuck, is that?"

Monster Name : Father Tree

Difficulty : 5

Speciality : Steel Leaf, Moving Roots

Inteligence : 4

Type : Bos Area

Monster Info :

Ars unconsciously bumped into another area boss.

Yin used that area boss's corpse as his residence. Ars saw nothing wrong. After all, what tree monsters other than the Father Tree in Giant Leaf Woods?

Father Tree turned around, looking for something. Then, suddenly, it raised a branch upward.

[Warning Provider] warns Ars that there are many dangers that will come from above.

Sure enough - "Shit!" - the leaves that were on Father Tree's branch launched into Ars previous position. Like a shower of giant swords, destroying the land of the launch target.

"Hey, that's just a fucking tree leaf, right!?"

Ars did not believe that the leaves of Father Tree's tree could be used as a weapon so sharp as steel.

Suddenly something came to attack from behind. Ars immediately jumped to the side. A moment after that, he could hear a tree trunk breaking.

The voice came from the Queen Bull, crushing the huge roots of Father Tree that were rising from the ground.

"Don't tell me he can also use his roots as a weapon?!"

Speciality: Steel Leaf, Moving Roots

Yes, Ars, he can.

Some of Father Tree's roots that were soaring upwards began to move outward.

Ars could not understand what state he was in.

Queen Bull with the speed and power of a bull-like collision continued to target Ars. Father Tree with Steel Leaves and Moving Roots makes Ars overwhelmed.

This condition frustrated Ars. "Aaahh! Whatever! I just have to kill the two of you quick!"

The battle went in three directions. Queen Bull tries to butting Ars, but got blocked by Father Tree's roots. Father Tree wanted to attack Ars, but Queen Bull continued to destroy the roots or divert his direction of his steel leaf fire.

The only one who can move freely in that battle is Ars.

Ars moves between Father Tree's roots. Letting Queen Bull weaken Father Tree's defenses.

But on one occasion, Father Tree successfully hit Ars to one of a Giant Leaf Trees.

Queen Bull diverted and immediately dashed to hit Ars, who was stuck in a tree. But what Queen Bull destroyed was not a Hunter, but a boulder.

From behind, Ars ready to unleash his strongest attack. "[Super Strong Sword Shot!]"

The skill finished off Queen Bull, penetrating from the back to the chest. Immediately killed it.

Queen Bull fell to the ground, lifeless.

Father Tree surprised to think he had hit Ars.

"Now it's your turn, old man," said Ars cruelly.

Father Tree moved faster and aimed his steel leaves at Ars. But Ars first moved away and out of reach of Father Tree's roots.

Ars moves behind the trees that surround Father Tree. He fired several swords while moving, though all of them got deflected by Father Tree with his steel leaves.

Father Tree is doing his best to protect the body part Ars aiming for, that is his face, with branches that have old leaves.

After several strikes, the attacks stopped coming. Suddenly something fell on the ground.

Father Tree continued to pay attention to the position of something that had fallen, without realizing that the Hunter he was fighting had jumped onto its upper branch.

Ars made a bet. He covered his nose and mouth with the clothes he had just bought. Then he jumped onto the Father Tree branch, which was about 30 meters high.

This he did to avoid Father Tree's face which was on the main trunk which was 20 meters high.

Next, Ars headed to Father Tree's unprotected back side.

[Status debuff: Bad Omen]

[Diversion] doesn't seem to work because Ars is on top of the boss's body itself. Although Father Tree is still oblivious to it.

Without a second thought, Ars jumped down towards Father Tree's back. Being in the air, Ars took advantage of that brief moment to launch an attack.

"Again! [Super Strong Sword-shot!]"

Ars pierced Father Tree's body from back to face with that attack.

[Trophy earned: Father Tree Slayer]

[Killed 1 Father Tree]

[Skill obtained: Father Tree Slayer]

[Passive: Can move faster inside Father Tree's perimeter as fast as 10%]

Sites of Memorial / Dusk

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Who the fuck knocks on my door at night like this!? It's you again!"

Jeff finds the pupils of a person he hates knocking on his door.

But there is something strange about that kid. His clothes got worn and covered with scratches. Somehow he even covered half of his face with clothes. He also standing quite a distance from Jeff.

"Old man, help me. A certain situation forced me to jump to a height of 30 meters. Since I thought the emission could stick to my body too, I'm not sure whether I should take a shower."

"Are you all battered by raiding the Bull Hornet Nest?"

Jeff couldn't help thinking. He accepted the fact that this kid is strong. But Jeff didn't know why this kid had to rush like that?

"Yes, indeed. But the one who forced me to climb to a height of 30 meters is Father Tree. Don't worry, I already beat him."

Jeff stared. He couldn't believe what Ars just said.

"You kidding me?"

Ars threw something on the ground in front of Jeff, then pointed at the object he threw.

Jeff had to squat down and light up the object Ars thrown.

"This is?!"

[Shoots of Golden Wind], a gold necklace shaped like a bud. Drop items that fell after defeating Father Tree.

Jeff easily recognized that drop item, because he was wearing one too.

"Then, proof that you killed Queen Bee!"

"I'm too tired to carry that lance."

Ars lied. The item drop that fell from Queen Bee is in [Unlimited Inventory].

[Item: Royal Hornet Lance]

[View Info - Object # 0121: A lance that fell after defeating the Queen Bull Hornet]

Rarity: Rare

Ars also received two shields from the Guardian Bull Hornet drop. But of course he wouldn't tell Jeff about that.

Jeff on the other hand was still not fully conscious due to his shock.

"So, how about it, old man?"

"O - oh, yeah, of course you must decontaminate yourself."

"I knew it! I have to disinfect my body! So what should I do? Take a bath myself or there is a certain method to do that?"

Sites of Memorial / Midnight

"It's so fvcking cold!"

A tormented man scream can be heard in the middle of the night. Fortunately, there are no Hunters camped at the Sites of Memorial.

The scream came from Ars, who was soaking in a bathtub made of bark.

"Are you going to kill me with this coldness!?" Ars goes berserk, thinking Jeff wants to take revenge on Yin by killing him. "This is like the seventh and still not enough?!"

"I told you. If you still have Violet Caelum stuck to your body, you still have to soak until there's nothing left."

"Can't we continue this tomorrow?!"

"Then where will you sleep to wait for tomorrow? I won't let you into my house or go to the station until you're clean."

"Damn it!"

Ars got a big win. But the price he had to pay is more painful than he had expected.
