Chapter 930: Chapter 928: Life and Death
The giant tree sensed Heluo’s intent and controlled the energy arm to intercept.
Heluo’s body slightly crouched, narrowly avoiding the fingerless energy hand. Her speed suddenly increased, trailing a series of afterimages as she continued to rush towards the depths of the energy storm.
The energy storm fluctuated, with violent fluctuations.
The deeper Heluo went, the more intense the energy storm’s fluctuations became.
In the end, Heluo successfully pierced the energy storm. With a loud “boom,” a mass of crimson burst forth, transforming into an energy spear that attacked the giant tree’s body.
The giant tree’s body was struck by the energy spear. All the branches shook wildly, as if in pain, then angrily and hoarsely shouted a single word: “Tur!”
The violently fluctuating energy storm suddenly solidified, releasing a strong repulsive force.
Preparing for the next round of crimson energy spear attacks, Heluo had almost no chance to resist and was flung out like a pebble, landing hard on the ground just a few meters away from Bobbobovic.
At this moment, Bobbobovic had regained some strength, struggled to stand up, and shakily walked towards Heluo, extending his hand to pull her up, repaying the life-saving grace earlier.
It turned out that Heluo lightly tapped the ground with her hand, standing up as if weightless, and was evidently less injured than him.
Bobbobovic’s hand stopped mid-air, somewhat awkwardly.
Heluo glanced at Bobbobovic, her gaze scrutinizing.
Bobbobovic’s lips twitched as he raised his hand, attempting to brush his hair only to touch his scalp.
“I hate being bald!” Bobbobovic stomped and shouted in his heart, secretly vowing, “I absolutely cannot become bald, absolutely not!”
At this moment, the giant tree spoke.
Its gaze swept over the unsuccessful Bobbobovic and Heluo and passed briefly over Richard, who hadn’t caused it much harm. After assessing the combat abilities of the three, the giant tree spoke: “You three, you disappoint me somewhat. Originally, I thought you would be strong, but now it seems you are only a little better than the previous group.”
The giant tree let out a sigh, somewhat lamenting: “In that case, I’ll have to kill you and bid you farewell. Although I have a bit of reluctance, I don’t wish to kill you, but there’s no way.
Just as you said before, a life form like mine, so different from you, becomes more deserving of death the stronger it gets. Conversely, you are the same for me. To ensure my safety, to ensure I can continue to survive, I must kill you who might leak secrets. So, goodbye then!”
The moment the words fell, the energy storm encircling the giant tree rapidly expanded outward, spawning numerous energy arms and tentacles, wildly flailing like a demon’s dance.
Dazzling lightning filled the center of the energy storm, and colorful electric balls flew out from its edges, rapidly destroying nearby trees.
The aura of destruction appeared at the core of the storm, where Richard and the others could sense the giant tree Tin Wood brewing a powerful burst.
If successful, relying on the strength of the three of them, it would indeed be difficult to resist.
Heluo and Bobbobovic’s expressions changed slightly, already contemplating a temporary retreat.
Just then, Richard leapt up, maintaining a cold expression as he charged toward the energy storm.
At that moment, drawing from the previous calculations, and the attacks of Bobbobovic and Heluo on the giant tree, Richard had gathered more information related to the energy storm and the giant tree Tin Wood, clarifying the battle’s odds, and without hesitation, committed to action.
Richard leapt up, rapidly approaching the giant tree. The giant tree sensed this, making the energy storm violent, with numerous energy arms and tentacles twisting to grab and crush Richard.
Richard did not flinch. His left arm tilted slightly, revealing a crimson One-Hit Kill Wand, which he used to blast at the approaching energy arms and tentacles.
Crimson energy surged forth, fiercely colliding with the energy arms and tentacles, not shattering them completely, but successfully blasting a gap.
Richard twisted his body, slipping through the gap to reach the expanding edge of the energy storm, then raised his right hand.
Not sure when, his right hand was already wearing a strangely shaped metal glove—the Destructive Gloves.
His middle and index fingers lifted, aiming at the energy storm. The glove trembled, unleashing two unimaginably powerful penetrating forces, like a strong man tearing off his upper attire, roughly tearing open a large swath of the energy storm.
To the naked eye, a clear hole appeared at the center of the energy storm.
The giant tree watched Richard’s performance in shock, as Richard slowly raised his right hand, and felt an inexplicable sense of dread, exclaiming in fear: “Damn, what do you plan to do?”
Richard did not answer, silently aiming his right hand wearing the metal gloves at the energy storm’s hole, aimed at the giant tree Tin Wood behind the hole.
A thought moved, and with a sound of “collapse,” the metal glove cracked, transforming into hundreds of fragments that passed through the hole in the energy storm and landed on the surface of the giant tree.
Then the fragments exploded with an extremely bright golden light, enveloping the entire giant tree, shining like a sun falling into the forest.
A hundred meters away, Bobbobovic and Heluo watched in shock, unsure what spell Richard had cast, but certain the giant tree should be severely harmed, perhaps even dead.
As this thought crossed Bobbobovic and Heluo’s minds, they saw the energy storm surrounding the giant tree suddenly lose control.
The energy storm had been blasted open by Richard, and still possessed terrifying power. Originally targeted at the three of them, it now exploded indiscriminately in all directions.
“Defense!” The most update n0vels are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
Bobbobovic and Heluo looked, their expressions changing dramatically as they warned each other, quickly raising their energy shields.
The next moment, the out-of-control energy storm hit, blowing them like baseballs, far away.
In mid-air, both exerted all their effort to maintain their energy shields, using all their strength until they flew several hundred meters, feeling the storm’s aftereffects weaken, finally landing and coming to a halt.
Once stopped, looking up, they saw a clearing several hundred meters in diameter had appeared directly ahead. The trees within the range had been completely cleared, the ground covered in cracks, like tortoiseshell shattered by a hammer.
Most terrifying was the place where the giant tree once stood; the whole tree had completely disappeared, leaving a large pit several dozen meters deep as if struck by a meteorite.
“Gulp!” Bobbobovic swallowed, sighing, “That’s a bit terrifying!”
He could imagine if he had been in the core area, survival would have been impossible.
Then he thought of something else.
“Hey? Where’s Richard? He wouldn’t have…”
