Chapter 512: Calling the Kettle Black (1/2)
The Elder Tree shook wildly, causing everyone on the Elder Tree's crown to lose their balance while some stumbled and dropped the goods they carried.
Some even fell from the treetop and plunge towards the surface. However, the royal guards and high elves were able to grow wings and fly before they hit the ground, thanks to their earlier training.
While the outside was pondering the cause of the Elder Tree's fury, Leon and Duna continued to escape from the strong mutant.
After exiting the Heart of Spring Chamber, they rushed up the next flight of vine staircase that would take them back to the top of the Elder Tree's crown.
However, the strong mutant was no longer their only concern as the Elder Tree targeted Duna with its green leaves that came pouring down from above.
Leon tried his best to placate the Guardian Spirit, but it would not listen to him. It was hell-bent on destroying Duna for the damages she caused.
The Heart of Spring Chamber might have been located under the Elder Tree, but it was still a part of it—just like its tree roots, but more important.
Its fury was understandable.
”Duna, hide inside my Worldspace! The Guardian Spirit wants to kill you and won't listen to me!” Leon quickly urged.
”But what about you?” Duna was surprised by Leon's suggestion before adding, ”We still have that mutant on our tail!”
”I'll figure something out on my own!” Leon said with a pondering frown before waving his hand at Duna.
Before she could react, Duna was quickly sucked into his Worldspace before Leon took off from the vine staircase and flew up directly.
Duna's disappearance made the Guardian Spirit immediately redirected its sharp green leaves to curve around Leon, avoiding contact with his body.
It was only after Duna and did not want to harm Leon. He was reassured by this fact as he heaved a sigh of relief before he continued to shoot to the top.
Boom!
The ground below cracked as the strong mutant shot in pursuit of Leon with a powerful jump.
However, the Elder Tree's flurry of sharp green leaves did not try to avoid the strong mutant. Thus, the strong mutant lacerated itself while breaking through the downpour of thousands of leaves.
Leon's eyes flickered with an idea while gripping his Tier 4 Bone Spear firmly in preparation for receiving the strong mutant's blow.
Bang!
In a short instance, the distance between them was closed before the strong mutant slammed into Leon's defending bone spear!
The force of 500-thousand jin immediately catapulted Leon upwards with significant momentum as the distance between them increased once more!
At the same time, Leon coughed out another mouthful of blood from having his organs shaken from the impact!
Even his bone creaked, threatening to fracture from the impact! However, if his muscles had not been tensed, it definitely would have!
The force of 500-thousand jin seems to be the limit of the strong mutant's strength!
It could be considered a mid-level Rank 1 Transcendent, the equivalence of a Mid-rank Battle Master in strength.
Leon quickly swallowed a Tier 3 All-Purpose Recovery Pill before his eyes narrowed on the strong mutant some distance below him.
After the strong mid-level Rank 1 Transcendent mutant broke through the cluster of sharp leaves with brute force, its entire layer of flesh was shredded away!
