The Tree Monster's branch smacked at Emrys, aiming to kill him directly.

Emrys's mind raced and he acted in that instant. He moved three steps to his right side, successfully avoiding the tentacle-like branch covered in black light, and then raised his right hand, swinging the Alloy Knife horizontally in front of him with full strength.

Perhaps because Emrys used his full strength in this attack, the knife in his hand directly cut through the defense of black light, and without slowing down, it cut off that branch of the Tree Monster.

"Boom!"

The branch that was dozens of meters long fell to the ground like a piece of trash. Everything happened within three seconds. If not for the three-dimensional space, even with his calculative nature, Emrys would not have been able to take those three steps to his right, avoiding the Tree Monster's attack.

The Tree Monster was not an ordinary tree to begin with, it is a Soul Beast. Cutting one of its branches that was like an arm, a wave of pain assaulted the Tree Monster, causing it to make strange noises and squirm all of its branches and roots.

Emrys knew it was time to truly attack the Tree Monster. While the Tree Monster could not think straight due to pain, he could land a critical strike. The Tree Monster was still a tree in essence, the pain would definitely subside quickly and he would lose this perfect opportunity. He knew he could not allow himself to waste such a good opportunity.

"Trrrtrttt!"

The Tree Monster let out a hoarse voice as a dozen or so branches rushed towards Emrys.

Emrys did not dodge. He knew that the Tree Monster attacked due to pain. His eyes were still flashing with silvery light, and thousands of nodes were right in front of him.

The branches tightly wrapped around Emrys and forcefully hung him in the air, trying to strangle him to death.

Emrys's mouth curled up into an evil smile as he muttered, "Found it!"

Node Shift!

Emrys shifted his position once again, appearing right above the Tree Monster.

The Tree Monster suddenly lost Emrys and was startled. It could not understand how Emrys disappeared. It was clearly tightly binding Emrys, but that person suddenly vanished as if everything was an illusion.

Before the Tree Monster could understand anything, it felt cold all over its body. Maybe because it was a tree, it was unable to look above its head. It failed to see falling Emrys who slashed the knife left and right, and with such speed, one could only see the shadows of a long knife cutting through the branches.

"Kacha! Kacha!"

One after another, neat wounds appeared on the branches. Very soon, more than ten branches broke off from the wound and fell to the ground. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It was as if the ground had been smashed by huge rocks, several dull sounds echoed in the air. Each of these branches was very hard. It was only because every strike was made by Emrys with his full strength that he was able to cut off several branches in succession. However, this also resulted in the appearance of several cracks.

Emrys understood that he could at most make a single strike now. The lifeline of the E-3 Allow Knife has been broken and it can no longer be used.

"Trrrtrttt!"

The Tree Monster experienced a series of searing pain all over its body. It could not help but let out a strange roar, and its massive body started trembling. Countless gray roots attacked Emrys like countless pythons, wanting to devour him.

"It's time to end this!"

Emrys was waiting for exactly this moment. A brilliant smile appeared on his face. He moved his feet, and his entire body rushed into the serpent-like root of the tree.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As the roots arrived in front of Emrys, Emrys teleported straight to the bottom of the Tree Monster. And then, with a "poof!" sound, he inserted the damaged knife into a location that was darker than the Tree Monster's entire body.

Crack~

All the movements of the Tree Monster abruptly ceased, interrupted by the sound of cracking. Something seemed to have cracked just now. Emrys could swear it wasn't his knife.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of something cracking grew louder and louder, reaching a crescendo before something seemed to have shattered completely.

Suddenly, inexplicably, Tree Monster whose all actions were frozen for some reason collapsed backward. Lifeless, it lay there, devoid of any sign of vitality.

What happened just now was actually very simple.

Emrys understood that he was outmatched in a direct confrontation with the Tree Monster. Thus, he had been contemplating intensely. Thanks to the three-dimensional space, his cognitive processes were significantly enhanced. Ultimately, he arrived at two conclusions.

Firstly, winning a head-on battle was out of the question.

Secondly, his sole chance of victory lay in shattering the Tree Monster's Soul Orb.

That is why, he had always been looking for the position where the Soul Orb is located in the giant body of the Tree Monster.

When the Tree Monster hung him into the air, Emrys had a close view of its entire body. Thanks to the three-dimensional space, even a hundred-meter distance appeared within his keen sight. Suspended in the air, he noticed the darkest spot at the bottom of the Tree Monster.

That's when he devised a plan.

Due to the python-like roots, Emrys couldn't directly reach the Tree Monster's weakest spot. His only option was to reposition himself above the monster's head and sever all its branches. This would compel the Tree Monster to retaliate with its roots.

When the Tree Monster attacked him with its roots, the opportunity Emrys had been waiting for finally appeared. He teleported directly to the darkest spot on the Tree Monster's body and thrust his damaged knife straight at it, shattering the Soul Orb.

With the Soul Orb shattered, the Tree Monster instantly lost its breath and died completely.

Although the loss of a Green Soul Orb was hurtful, Emrys's aim was never the Soul Orb. What he wanted to obtain was Tree Monster's Life Essence Droplet.

Now that the Tree Monster is dead, it is time to harvest the fruit of his hard work.
