252 Artic - Chapter - 252 - The Red Tree Lord - (2/2)

”Well, Red Tree Lord, are you going to fight me or let me go?”

As Artic said his last words, he began to release his energy slightly. In this way, he stated that he was not afraid of war and that he was ready. After Artic's words, there was a slight laugh. And then the Red Tree Lord started talking.

”Frankly, if I fight you, I can beat you, at least I believe that. But if I beat you, the best chance would be to get to Starium Level 2. The returns of this are not very high on this planet.”

Artic was trying to figure out that he had never seen anything hostile until now. But that wasn't it, he was going to let go. He was always thinking about teleporting in an emergency. So he started talking in a very relaxed manner.

”Can you be a little clear?”.

Along with artic's words, Red Tree Lord continued to speak.

”I was a tree on this planet, actually, but I gained a slight consciousness after I was once impressed by the fact that you humans were experimenting here all the time. Then I worked by collecting the energies around me and managed to get into the path of the law.”

Artic made ahead sign that made it clear he was listening. On the sign of Artic, the creature continued to speak.

”But one day, people awakened a creature they didn't want to mess with. This creature began to kill and destroy everyone because it made them angry. At the same time, a strange device attacked the creature and destroyed it. But then a shield formed that surrounded the planet. No matter how powerful we are because of this shield, even if we pass the Starium Level and reach galaxium level, we can't get off this planet.”

Artic, he's got a little bit of an understanding. These creatures had a lot of time and resources. But the resources were enough for them for a while. So every given time, when the entrance from the outside was opened to the Red Fire Moon, the creatures woke up and fed on their energies by killing incoming students and people.

And the reason they fed off their energy wasn't for more power than humans and other beings of space.

Artic didn't say anything, so the Red Tree Lord kept talking.

”That's my story, and frankly, as I said, even if I kill you and get your energy, I'm going to be the most Level 2 Starium. That's going to make me stronger in my environment, and it's not going to change much. That's why I want to make another deal with you.”

Artic was listening even more carefully this time. The deals of such creatures were often intended to deceive him. The reason he knew that wasn't because of the experience. Books he read in his old world, and documentaries like that were always shown. That's why he knew he had to be careful.

”I'm listening, and if the deal's right for both of us, I see no reason to oppose it.”

After Artic's words, the Red Tree Lord laughed lightly. He was happy to see that Artic's reaction was positive.

Artic wasn't a little surprised. Although the creature opposite him was Starium Level, he had a similar mind and speech style. That was kind of weird. But it also made things easier.
