77 # 72 Tree Guardian and Logging Hell.txt (1/2)

We arrived at the Forest of Trent. The trees were noticeably larger and deeper and darker than the young forest. This was going to be a struggle. The members changed Hiyori and Yuu Fang, and added Konoha and Gray.

Then they went into the forest, and the goblins were annoying! The goblins are swarming me, and they work together properly. Moreover, the goblin sheaf seems to be able to steal items. Well, the one I took was a stone and I was hit in the tongue by a rock... but I was annoyed by his attitude and beat him with a gravel pit.

Goblin shamans seem to use fire magic. The Goblin Fighter deploys to protect the Goblin Shaman, and the Goblin Archer covers the Goblin Fighter.

The fighters aren't Lilly's enemies, but they're not very good at evading Archer's attacks and are taking damage. Sifu is a pain in the ass, but if it turns out he's the same speed type as Ion, he's not Ion's enemy. However, I feel like I'm struggling with Archer's cover and magic. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of good reasons to go for it. So we have Gray and Konoha go after the archers, but the fighters seem to get in the way. Eventually it collapses as the number of fighters dwindles, but it feels like the damage is accumulating to get there. Every time the fight is over, I'm recovering from it, but I'm getting attacked right away, repeatedly.

I'm trying to level up while repeating, but it's not a breakthrough for the current situation. While doing so, I was searching for a cypress tree, and finally found a cypress tree.

Cypress: Rare Level 3 Material Item Item Grade D

Excellent wood for building materials. Easy to work with, dense and uniform, and emits a strong fragrance over a long period of time.

Appraisal improves the level of appraisal when you appraise it. The ability to appraise trees, grasses, and flowers is possible only after obtaining the title ”Blessing of the Young Wood Forest”. I've heard that I can also understand Setia, but I can't always take her with me. I'm honestly grateful.

I'm going to try to cut down immediately, but Lily attacks with all her might, but she is wonderfully unharmed.

'The tree beat me...'

So it's Lily with her hands on the ground, depressed, but security as usual.

I didn't have time for this kind of thing. Because if we take our time, the goblins will come. Ion's water blade, me and Setia's attack magic also tried, but it was impossible. Cypresses are so tough. I'm tempted to advocate the strongest theory of cypress, but this isn't going to work, so I give up and get the felling skill. I'll get 2 points.

Now my remaining skill points are 9 pts.

This is where my hell began. After hitting it hundreds of times with the axe, I finally get one. If Lily and the others hadn't been cheering me on along the way, my heart would have been broken. I've swung the sword bare before, but the axe is a different story. And the hell of doing this four more times. Yug, you do this every time...great.

I'm desperate, and Gray's on the lookout for something. What is it? But then a small tree approaches. A monster, given that Grey is wary of it. And the name of this forest!

All of them!　Prepare for battle!

At my command, Lily and the others readied their weapons and went into battle position. Then a monster with a face in a tree appears in my field of vision.

Trent?

Tame Monster Target to be defeated Active.

A tame monster...too bad. As I'm thinking this, Trent attacks me. He swings a big hand, or rather a tree, and swings down. The attack is slow.

Doggone it!

But you're not half as aggressive as you think you are! I don't want to get eaten. We need to stay calm...

Yah!

Lily pops up. Ach, it's too late.

'Lily!　Didn't you see the attack earlier?　Oh, God!

Aeon will be in support. That's a lot of work. So, Lily's attack with her fighting spirit, but it's not working at all!

Oh, no!

He jumps up, and because of the slash, there's no way to escape. Trent swings over.

'Wow!　Aeon, help me~

Oh, my God!

Ion slashes at him continuously, but it's not working and is completely ignored.

''...It's impossible. This.''

'Oh no!　Ta-taq-taq.

There's no way you're going to be able to do the magic in time. So there's only one way we can do that.

”Konoha, please!

Ho!

Conoha catches Lily in the air and avoids Trent's attack. Lily hangs on to Konoha as he returns.

'Thank you~. Thanks Konoha.

Lily thanks him, but Ion is angry.

'I told you to stop attacking me without thinking!

Because I was so frustrated with the tree.

You're a child!

Aeon. How tall you are... no. No, I won't tell you anything.

Oh, we're in the middle of a battle.

It's a lot of distance, but it's not safe. They might use magic or something.

In the meantime, if physical attacks don't work, we'll have to use magic to attack them. You'll need to attack them and draw them in so they don't do anything rash.

Okay...

Aeon, try the water blade and if that doesn't work, join Lily and the others.

Yes, sir.

Conoha and Setia, prepare for magic. When I call a defensive down, attack me.

I'm on it.

Okay, let's do it!

So, the strategy was executed. As a result, the water blade doesn't work and the ion joins the diversion. As for magic, my fire magic was the most effective, then the explosion. The others were much the same.

In the end, I was able to defeat it with no problems, but it took a lot of time. And since I can't identify the level, the experience seems to be high. Everyone is leveled up except me. Then comes the info.

'Lily's one-handed sword has reached level 10. We have acquired the martial skill Gale Wind Thrust.''

Oh! That's the skill Arthur used on me. It's a good skill if you're aiming for a surprise attack, but it might not be suitable for Lilly, who likes to fight head-on. Still, it's a skill that also increases your speed, so it's not a bad idea. The question is whether Lily will use it or not, but for some reason, the sight of Lily only using Heavy Slash is too much for me.

In case you're wondering, my logging skill went up 5 at once. It's a testament to my hard work.

'Troublesome enemies, too many of them, right?'

Agreed.

I'm tired.

I'm exhausted, but I'm curious about something. The timing of Trent's appearance.

Do you think it's a coincidence that he showed up when we took down the cypresses?

I ask Setia, the plant expert, and Setia replies.

'I don't think it's a coincidence. Unlike Garbella Glow, I don't know the words, but I felt angry.

'Right. That means we have four more fights to go...

Silence reigns.

'It's for the house. Let's take a break and hang in there.

So I'll play three rounds with Trent while I get my food. Naturally, I level up.

'The level of the profession summoner has increased. The number of summons you can join has increased by 2.

Vocational Summoner's level has increased. You have gained 2 skill points.
