Chapter 130: Blessing of the Trees Spirit (2/2)

Hearing Troy's explanation, Rex got even curious.

He doesn't believe in the Tree's spirit but it still piqued his interest, 'System, are spirit real?', Rex asks nonchalantly, he just asks the system without expecting anything.

<Yes>

Reading the system's answer, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.

'Wait, it's real? I thought it's just folklore brought up by the locals', Rex thought.

But then, he face-palm himself, 'Wait now that I think about it, Supernaturals is also folklore from the people. So it makes sense for spirit to exists'

After knowing that, Rex then decided to visit the tree.

The big tree can already be seen from afar but turns out it is literally quite far from Rex's position.

He then decided to run there, he doesn't forget to text Adhara that he will be checking the big tree before leaving the city.

About fifteen minutes later, Rex arrives at the three.

Fifteen minutes doesn't seem like a lot, but Rex runs there seriously but it still takes him fifteen minutes to get there.

Seeing the tree up close, Rex becomes even more surprised.

The tree is standing tall in front of him, the width of the tree is like four houses stacked together and it's giving Rex a relaxing vibe. There are many branches spread widely covering Rex from the sun, the big tree gives a sense that it will shelter Rex from anything that comes his way.

”What a big tree, is there really a spirit here?”, Rex looks around the tree and is fascinated.

The tree is not just big, but the mana around the tree is filled with wood mana that even he feels relaxed.

Wood mana is also a Peak Great Element because it can be used for attacking, defending, and also healing.

Only a couple of people have this element, and they're all powerful Awakened.

Then suddenly, Rex got the urge to touch the big tree.

It comes out of nowhere and he felt that it's the right thing to do, so he did it.

Rex touches the tree and can instantly feel the hardwood that keeps the tree standing strongly, just by touching it Rex knows that he can't possibly do anything to this tree.

It's simply too strong.

But then suddenly,

<The Tree's Spirit wants to give you it's a blessing, will the user accept it?>

Reading this, Rex was shocked but also got even more curious about the tree.

'Will it harm my body?', Rex asks to make sure.

<No>

'Then I'll accept it, let me see what's this blessing is about'

Just after Rex said that the scenery in front of him suddenly change.

The lush green big tree suddenly turned into a fiery tree that is scorching hot, it is a magical tree that turns the tree's leaves into fiery leaves.

Rex didn't expect to see this, he never sees something like this.

Then, the scenery zoomed into the big tree revealing a fiery spirit that resides within.

The fire spirit is a fiery snake with sharp bones sticking out of its back, its two fangs are razor sharp. The fangs are so long that they can pierce Rex's body from top to bottom.

It looks more like a dragon because of the scales all over its body, it looks terrifying, to say the least.

Rex looks at the fire spirit in awe, the fire spirit is currently sleeping inside the fiery trees peacefully when suddenly the tree shook.

The fire spirit inside the fiery tree opened its eyes before it growls menacingly.

Outside of the tree, Rex saw another spirit but this one is a green deer that is attacking the fiery tree vigorously.

With that, both spirit fights.

Their fights create green and red sparks all over the place, their energy itself charred the surrounding. In just a minute, their surrounding got destroyed.

Both spirits wrestle against each other but one can see the green deer is winning.

It rams its horn that glows with green energy towards the snake as it instantly pierced through the snake.

The snake roared as it felt its body got pierced.

Because of that injury, the green deer started to overwhelm the fire snake, and not long after the fiery snake died after getting hit by a green beam from the green deer.

After beating the fire snake, the green deer roared in victory.

Rex saw their fights right in front of his eyes, he saw how the green deer beat the fire snake from start to finish.

The fiery tree suddenly dimmed after the fire snake died, It instantly dimmed as if the fire snake is the tree's life.

The leftover green energy from the green deer filled the place.

It affects its surrounding, the fiery tree becomes lush green trees instantly under the nurture of the green energy from the green deer.

But from the corner of Rex's eyes, he saw the fire snake spat a little fire snake.

It wiggles for a moment before it left the place, it manages to leave the place because of how feeble it becomes from the fierce fire snake.

After seeing this, Rex snapped back to reality.

He looks at the big tree with a different view, and then a notification appeared.

<Blessing of the Tree's Spirit>

The fire snake already embedded the big tree with its fiery core, although the tree looks lush it is actually dying inside because of the nurture of different energy. Find the red snake and bring it to the big tree!

Quest Reward: Fire Serpent Spirit

Reading this, Rex immediately asks the system, 'What is a spirit used for?'

He asks out of curiosity, he felt that a spirit must be a valuable thing but he doesn't know what it's for.

But after waiting for a while, the system didn't answer.

'No matter, I'm certain it's precious', Rex thought.

He then taps on the map that is blinking on the top-right corner of the quest notification, and instantly a map appeared on Rex's view.

Rex looks at the map and he can't help to widened his eyes, 'This...'
