Book 4 Chapter 66 - Why Does it Have to Be Like This?

First floor

In the olden era, it should already be early suht was still below freezing Froative twenty degrees However, after undergoing mutation, the survival ability of plants also increased substantially, and as such, even under the unpredictable coldness, trees, shrubbery, and even weeds often tenaciously produced sprouts However, these buds were of every color, no longer being overwhel the desolate and cold mountains a hint of beauty, yet at the saeness

Within a sparseby herself towards the seely not too far distant mountain peak That was her next destination, as well as the next battlefield she selected Inside of that rather ordinary looking o with essentialin the northern front, Persephone would often fight without subordinates at her side, and in the later half when she fought against the Holy Crusaders' great knights, this was even more so the case Ever since she first arrived in the north, Persephone would set up various supply points where there were no signs of people Even though these supply points' goods were only good for about three years' tih for one or two people to use, for a ninth level ability user like her, if she just received a single instance of resupply after fighting a long tie

The forest Persephone traveled through was extree There were enormous trees several tens of ht as they pierced towards the sky There were only a few branches near the very top, and those branches produced sharp brown-colored leaves These enormous needle-like trees were quite far from each other, with several dozen meters before another one could be seen The forests betere full of half rowth, yet these bushes were full of tender green fresh leaves

In reality, those enormous trees didn't have the ability to carry out photosynthesis for survival Below the visible surface, their roots were actually incredibly developed, al the entire forest As for those short shrubs, they grew precisely on top of those roots, with a portion of their nutrients seized by the enormous needle trees The shrubs were just like slaves of the needle trees

Persephone chose this forest for a reason This forest looked like it was thinly spread, but in reality, it was all interconnected As long as someone entered this forest, all of the needle trees in this forest would produce some type of reaction Those that were familiar with this place could naturally tell from the needle trees' reactions whether or not some human or animal entered this forest It was to the extent where they could even get information on how many people and which direction they caht, she had previously entered this forest The Holy Crusaders' great knight was originally in an extreeous situation If not for Persephone's vile interests, there was no way he could have escaped this far However, in this forest, he suddenly seemed to know Persephone's whereabouts like the back of his hand, and after clashi+ng several tiuard suffer greatly However, due to the disparity in ability levels being too great between the two, in the end, the great knight who had hoe still died under the hands of the crafty Persephone After the battle ended, Persephone carefully inspected this forest and finally discovered the secrets of the needle trees As a result, she set up a supply point at the border of the several hundred square kilo an ulti a time of crisis

However, back then, this was only done just in case Within the depths of her heart, she even thought that she would never have to use this battlefield She never thought that the day would coht now, Persephone was entirely different froray hair had already been cut short, and the uniform on her body was extre her i around the co As for her lower body, her short dress was si nowhere to be seen Those things were simply decorations; in an actual battle, they would only be a burden Meanwhile, her black fra abilities, due to their electronic installations, would expose her whereabouts, so they were abandoned The current Persephone was just a like a brilliant and cold barbarian warrior, no longer the foring a corpse in her arms This was an extremely robust male, his bare body covered in tens of cuts of various sizes, the deepest directly opening up his chest Even though from the corpse's skin color, it seemed like he had already been dead for so lost expression were filled with disbelief and shock

Persephone only knew this fella was called number three As for whether or not he had another na in the depths of the forest, Persephone stamped her foot Shrubs immediately flew everywhere, and earth rolled about A two meter perimeter shallow ditched appeared, and within the hole were interweaving needle tree roots Her ar number three's corpse into the hole The needle trees' roots i speeds, and in just a few minutes, number three's corpse was covered in tree roots! Hollow needles e into nu his flesh's nutrients Number three's corpse quickly shriveled up The needle tree roots began to bind tighter and tighter, squeezing until the bones released crack crack sounds They then began to quickly crack apart In less than ten minutes of time, number three's corpse already disappeared, without even half a piece of bone reed about, pulling the inal position, and then many small shrub seeds were released These small shrubs' vitalities were activated to their limit In just a day's worth of tirowth Tomorrow, around this tiinal state

Persephone reached out her hands to stroke a needle tree at her side, able to clearly feel a light tre joy

She revealed a faint smile, and then she continued towards the supply point
