YM778.TV Chapter 406 Last Gift
The suction force was coming from the Tree and it was as if it was trying to merge with Vincent! No, it was trying to make Vincent a nutrient perhaps to make more fruits because Krusk took so many of them at once.
Ayla wasn\'t exactly sure but she can tell that Vincent\'s energy keeps weakening… She wanted to pull Vincent from being dragged in by the Tree but Turhan immediately held her back…
"Stop. Ayla… Look at him…" Turhan suddenly said while grabbing her away.
Ayla wasn\'t able to complain at all as she looked at Vincent with worry.
\'Hmm?\'
Although Vincent was shocked after experiencing the same thing when he touched it again, he didn\'t seem to be too scared this time. He was concentrating on something as if he already found a clue why this is happening…
"Vincent, can you hear me?" Ayla asked to get his attention.
Vincent didn\'t respond and just continued touching the tree like he was deep in his thoughts. Nevertheless, his fingers are slowly being sucked in by the Tree as if it turned into a soft and squishy object.
Of course, they know that the tree didn\'t turn soft but it was trying to suck Vincent for some unknown reason.
"W-what\'s happening? I think he passed out while holding the tree… Shouldn\'t we save him?" Krusk asked filled with worry.
He had never seen the Tree act like this…
"We might be dragged in as well if we touch Vincent… I will try to attack the tree." Faviona suggested. She was familiar with this kind of trick and she knows that touching the victim recklessly will just increase the number of victims.
"Alright… But if it turns out to be more dangerous, I have to consider cutting Vincent\'s arm… Faviona, do you have something that can heal him?" Turhan replied.
"What? I can\'t regrow limbs… I can at most reattach his limbs… Anyway, let\'s see what happens first…"
They immediately made a plan and acted on it.
Faviona pulled out her fan and waved it with all her might…
Ten purple blades suddenly appeared and started attacking the tree.
Dianne joined in as well and used a scepter to cast a fireball. Although she can cast this without using the scepter, the power wouldn\'t be as strong as the one cast from a magic tool. Furthermore, the fireball that she created can be easily controlled mid-flight!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their Mana Arts successfully hit the tree. Well, it shouldn\'t be a surprise to hit their target since they\'re aiming at a non-moving target.
However, they didn\'t get their expected result.
Faviona bit her lip seeing that the Tree is completely unscathed…
Even the fireball that was formed using the scepter\'s Lavastone was unable to do anything at all.
"Ah! Cough! Cough!"
Luckily, something seems to have happened after disturbing the tree. Vincent woke up from his stupor!
His hand is still sticking to the tree but he seems to have regained his consciousness.
"Everyone… I\'m fine. Don\'t worry about this. I think I already know what this tree was. Just give me a few moments…"
Vincent spoke finally calming everyone in the cavern… Krusk was already about to transform into his dragon form and uproot the tree but as soon as he heard VIncent\'s voice, he heaved a sigh of relief and found a corner to sit in and wait.
"Alright… We\'ll wait… Tell us if something is wrong, and we will try out best to help you." Turhan said.
"Yes… This shouldn\'t take too long…"
Vincent replied and he was right… It only took five minutes before the matter was over… The Tree of Faith disappeared!
It happened so quickly…
They just saw the Tree glowing like a sun that almost blinded their eyes… They can only cover their eyes with magic since using their hands wasn\'t enough as the light still passes through!
"Where did it go?" Krusk ask.
He was the one who was the most surprised since he had known that that Tree was something older than even the dungeon itself…
There was no way it would disappear just like that… It didn\'t even leave its roots behind.
"It dissipated like the leaves when they were plucked… Perhaps it went to a different dungeon?" Turhan couldn\'t help but give a ludicrous idea.
Nothing is making sense to him at all so suggesting such an impossible thing felt appropriate.
"Haa… Ha… Ha…" Vincent was exhausted as he sat on the ground catching his breath.
"Are you alright, Vincent?" Dianne rushed to his side and pulled out a Health Recovery Potion. Although Vincent doesn\'t appear to be injured, his left hand had signs of being turned into a tree and it was already reaching his elbow!
Her potion is probably not as good as the ones Vincent had fully enhanced but this healing potion is one of her prized possession… It doesn\'t just improve someone\'s health but also increases the person\'s Mana Capacity and removes most curses or invasive mana on one\'s body.
Vincent immediately rejected this as it would be such a shame to consume it without being enhanced or ascended first.
He will explain it to her later but for now, he needed to take some of his own potions.
He drank two Health Recovery Potions +10 and one Mana Recovery Potion +10.
He spent over 80% of his Pseudo-Celestial Energy protecting himself from the Tree so he had to consume a lot of them.
As a matter of fact, he had almost activated his Celestial Armor as a last resort but luckily, he was able to discover the Tree\'s real intention for helping him…
That\'s right, it wasn\'t trying to harm him at all.
Vincent sighed after recalling his reaction… Well, it can\'t really be blamed on him since it was just too creepy.
\'It\'s all because my seal has been removed, huh… Is this Vera\'s last gift?\' Vincent thought to himself.
He had not forgotten Vera\'s warning to him. His unknown enemies are probably looking for him right now after his seal was removed.
The Tree of Faith was most likely Vera\'s final gift to him to deal with these enemies.
As for why he was being assisted by the deity… It is still a mystery for him…
