”Drink up your potions, Light start luring all the mobs on the left side, I'll lure the half”, Zeek ordered.
”Are you serious!?, Light said.
”All of the DPS will position on the top of those 3, Zeek pointed 3 tall trees in the middle of the 2 separate mob groups, Light lure and kite the mobs on both of those trees,make sure you make an infinity path on booth trees while kiting them, after all the mobs reached the middle use your shield bash to stun them, ”Zeek ordered.
”An infinity. . . OK, I got it.”Light said.
The four positioned themselves and Light lured half of the mobs, Zeek then used Shadow Assassin Title buffing the whole team.
”T...These buffs are so OP,” Grid said.
”Attack now talk later, the duration of the buff is just an hour”, Zeek said
Zeek and Light started kiting all the mobs, after 30 minutes they cleared all the mobs in the vicinity.
The team picked a total of 15 weapons, 9 armors and 37 materials after killing 40 mobs, 7 blue colored items including a dagger, 2 shields, a bow, 3 staff, the armors consist of 3 sets of the archers lvl 20 sets [ Forrest Wind Set ], 2 pcs of [ Healing Wind Set ] For lvl 20 Clerics, 2 pcs of [ Wind Collector Set ] for magicians, 1 piece for [ Forrest Guardian ] level 20 set for Mercenaries and 1 piece [ Wind Runner Set ] for level 20 Thief.
After Fighting the Forrest Imps the 4 leveled up and became level 19, while Zeek has 95% exp bar.
”Seriously !?, I didn't even level up?” Zeek was shocked to see how slow his exp bar raise.
”Hell mode really gives you a lot of exp!,” Grid amused in the leveling speed that they get
”I have new items but I can't even wear them”, Zeek said feeling gloomy.
”Let's run it again so you can get enough exp to level up”, Grid said and the three nodded.
”Next is the Tree Trent, we can do the same strategy that you used to defeat them”, Zeek said
After walking to the location of the Tree Trent they saw 3 Mini-Bosses in the location.
”Three? damn it, This will be hard”, Grid said.
”Any Ideas?” Lilly asked.
”Lure them 1 by 1, Divide and Conquer, Grid uses the furthest skill that you have than me and Light will both kite it,” Zeek said.

The whole team moved at the position that Zeek said and executed the plan perfectly, after an hour the three bosses died.

The 3 Trent also dropped 15 items including 8 blue equips, after the battle, the team sorted all the lots and the 4 equipped all of there level 20 pieces of equipment giving the team much more firepower towards the boss.
Zeek then gave them rakes, the other where dumbfounded by Zeeks action.
”Do we need these things?,” Grid asked.
”I'll explain later,” Zeek replied.
As the team walked toward the area where the boss resides Zeek looked at the surroundings first. the terrain didn't change from the video that Grid sent him, a circular location with dried roots on the side forming a wall of broken trees and the floor covered with dried leaves.
”Okay, let's do an experiment, I'll tell you now the plan, after sending me the videos I noticed that every time Flaming Beauty cast her AOE skills the terrain on the Tree Trent doesn't move at all but inthe Boss room is different, every walk and every skill you make made the terrain change.”
Zeek then walked towards a bunch of leaves and grabbed them.
”See, it's different,” Zeek said.
”What are we gonna now that?, Grid asked.
”See those Wall of dead trees and roots surrounding the Boss?” Zeek pointed out the wall made trees around them.
”Because of this special terrain the flow of wind is different after wind enters this terrain it will make a whirling form, and we will use it to make a Fire Devil.”, Zeek said.
”A Fire Devil?”, Light asked.
”A Fire Whirl, a tornado-like fire that can only be possible if the wind is rotating in an area, that's why I gave you does rake. start gathering the dried leaf towards the wall so we can start a fire,” Zeek ordered the team to gather all the dried leaf and rake it to the side.
After 30 minutes of raking the surrounding area, the team was finished with the preparation, all that is left is if Zeek's plan will succeed.
”Flaming Beauty, try to cast your fire on the dry leaf, Zeek ordered”.
As Flaming Beauty Cast a fire spell a notification appeared in front of her.
”Endless, A notification suddenly appeared after casting the skill.”, Flaming Beauty said.
”What it says?”, Zeek said.
System: This action will make the stage change, the circumstances may not be in favor of the party, are you sure you want to proceed?.
”Proceed on it, if it will not be in or favor ten so be it”, Zeek smiled.
Flaming Beauty then cast a fire spell, after hitting the dried leaves a small fire started to erupt, the fire started enveloping the walls of rotting trees making the fire bigger, smoke started to circulate in the boss stage, after 20 seconds the whole floor is on fire, the team pulled out of the boss space letting the fire get wild, then a sudden notification appeared on the parties interface.
System: Because of the forest fire the King Trent suffered -30% of all attributes, received burn status -1% every 5 seconds and King Trent will be on Berserk Mode.
After the system popped up the team suddenly heard the scream of the King Trent.
”We're not done yet, Flaming cast any wind element on the right side!” Zeek ordered.
Flaming Beauty then cast Wind Howl, the whole team were shocked after the wind entered the fire area it started to attract the fire and smoke on the surrounding area and started to swirl inside the circular stage.
”Here it goes, the Fire Whirl”, Grid said.
