“Gin, why are you barking at the…” Anon spoke as he walked over to Gin’s position and looked at the tree’s other side.

As soon as he looked at the tree, he felt a shock in his body.

The tree was holding Fen and Ven tightly using its roots on its trunk with some other students.

“What the heck is this?” Anon asked as he looked at the tree.

Fen looked at Anon with wide eyes and couldn’t speak; a root tightly held her mouth.

“Fen, don’t worry. I will-”

Stash

Suddenly, a root grabbed Anon’s body from behind and lifted him up.

“You darn piece of…” Anon grabbed the root and started applying pressure, but the more he tried to remove the root from his body, the more it pressed against him.

“Heck… Leave me, you!” Anon shouted as he summoned his sickle and cut through the roots.

Thud

He fell to the ground immediately.

Anon’s skin around his torso was torn apart because he couldn’t heal while still in the air.

As soon as he landed on the ground, his wounds immediately healed.

“Okay, okay… Let’s play,” Anon said as he summoned his other sickle as well.

‘Let’s see what you are…’ Anon said as he looked at the tree and used his skill.

Name: Unknown Class: Unknown Race: Prampel Tree Level: 500 Description: The Prampel Tree is a terrifying entity that resides deep within the heart of the ominous Evensong Forest. Towering over the surrounding flora, its grotesque appearance is shrouded in darkness, a stark contrast to the serenity of the natural world. This malevolent tree exhibits a sinister adaptation for its survival, as it thrives by absorbing the life essence of living beings.

Its presence is eerily alluring, particularly in the pitch-black depths of the forest. The Prampel Tree possesses an innate ability to emit an otherworldly, enchanting glow, beckoning curious creatures and lost wanderers toward its deceptive radiance. Unsuspecting victims who draw near, captivated by its ethereal luminescence, soon find themselves ensnared in a web of doom.

The true horror of the Prampel Tree becomes apparent when it deploys its deadly roots. These serpentine tendrils, concealed within the tree’s gnarled bark, lash out with predatory precision to ensnare its prey. Once ensnared, there is no escape, and the malevolent tree begins its cruel and insidious feast.

The Prampel Tree gradually drains the life force from its victims, a process both agonizing and inexorable. As it siphons away their vitality, its victims wither and weaken, helpless in the face of their impending demise. Their desperate struggles against their arboreal captor are in vain, as the Prampel Tree slowly drains them of every ounce of life, leaving behind only lifeless husks.

Any type of resistance is futile once trapped in its roots… If you use mana, it will suck it out immediately and use it against you.

Threat Type: C

“Okay, you are a little dangerous but not that dangerous. I have killed a fish that had four legs, so you should be easy because trees can’t move, right?” Anon said as he started running towards the tree with his sickles.

Suddenly, four root whips emerged from the ground and grabbed Anon’s legs.

“Heck…” Anon said as the roots threw him away.

Thud

He hit the tree and fell down.

“You darn-”

Titch

Before Anon could’ve said the word, the tree whipped Anon’s face with its roots, injuring his face. However, it healed immediately with the Troll locket.

Anon stood up slowly and smiled.

“Okay… It’s experiment time,” Anon said as he de-summoned his sickles and used a spell.

A javelin appeared in his hands, crackling with blue and golden light.

“Take this…” Anon shouted as he threw the javelin at the tree, but before the javelin could’ve reached the tree, one of its roots came in between and absorbed the javelin immediately as if absorbing water.

“Uh huh… Let’s try another one,” Anon said as he used another spell.

Another javelin appeared in his hands, but this time the glow of the javelin was much stronger.

‘This thing can turn King Arthur into dust… Let’s see what this can do to you,’ Anon thought as he threw the spear towards the tree.

This time, four roots came in between and absorbed the javelin without any delay.

“Okay… You, take this!” Anon shouted.

He used all of his mana in this attack because he knew he could get more mana from Link at any moment now.

Crackle

This time, the spear that formed in his hands was shining bright blue with a few hues of golden light.

Zzzzz

He threw the spear towards the Prampel Tree with all his strength.

This time, more roots came in between and tried to stop the spear. However, it was different this time; the spear tore through the roots into pieces and pierced through them easily.

It reached the tree’s main body this time… But as soon as it touched the tree’s main body, it dissolved.

“Heck…” Anon shouted in anger as he looked at the tree.

‘Link, I need mana…’ Anon ordered.

Yes, master.

Link immediately followed his orders and filled his mana tank to full.

Master, I don’t think this tree will die that easily because it can absorb mana… You have to fight it without using mana. Link advised.

“Link, don’t talk stupid. I can’t do that. This tree is stronger than me in every aspect. You think I can beat it without mana?” Anon spoke.

Master, another way is to use me because I can absorb mana too. Link spoke up.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. Come out here right now,” Anon ordered. 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴

Yes, master. Link immediately followed his orders and started materializing.

Anon continued to strike the tree with Thunder Javelins as Link materialized.

Anon’s mana got depleted again, and he stopped attacking.

Suddenly, the tree stopped moving as well.

“Why did it stop?” Anon asked with a confused expression.
