Volume 7 Chapter 67: Beginning Of Her Journey
"Eh?" I'm going to be the one to deal the final blow? Never did Krystal expect Keith to ask him to do so. Herrick was the one who came to mind. He definitely had more power than her.
"You're the one with the highest piercing capabilities out of us. Herrick and Melor would make the opening for you while I aggro it. If you can take out the stone, the treant will be defeated."
"...I understand."
"Make sure to land a clean blow." "Don't put so much pressure on her, Melor!" Herrick shook his head.
"Everyone, move!" With a plan in place, everyone quickly got to work! Keith raised his shield, blocking those vines. As he did, waves of magic flew over his head, blowing the vines from their blind spot.
"Hmpf!" The boy didn't budge from his spot. However, something was offsetting.
Creak.
Are you kidding me? It's cracking. Keith didn't show it in his expression, but he could tell his shield made the noise. Subtly, the shield was cracking. The venus fly trap's mucus did more damage than it should have.
We need to make the opening as soon as possible. Krystal's eyes focused on the plant as she watched the others move. I need to blow it up.
Bottom? No, it's too dense with vines.
Top? I'll just get blown away.
Many thoughts went through Krystal's mind about how to take down the monster before her. Her breath became ragged as she analyzed. Yet, that only made her eyes glaze.
"Relax." Krystal turned around to see Alfia.
"Calm down and think only about one option. Keith wouldn't give you such a task if you didn't have the capabilities to do it."
"..." She's right.
"Thank you." Krystal took a deep breath as she stared at the treant. Right now, everyone was doing their best to destroy the vines around. That was the first layer of its defense. The second defense was the bark around the stone. She couldn't tell where the demon stone was.
I need to figure out where it is.
The girl wasn't the only one thinking about this. Keith continued slicing down the vines; he realized the stone needed to be located.
"Herrick, Melor, I will make a path for you guys! You guys make some cuts against it!"
"Understood." Melor raised his axe while Herrick beastified. It was go time!
"Ragh!" Pulling the vines, his blade came down and sliced it in two. That wasn't the end; he charged forward like a bull. The treant perceived Keith as the primary nuisance.
All vines dashed at Keith. With so many of them together, the shield was easily pierced through! Bits of metal went flying everywhere! Yet, there was no ounce of blood.
"Now!" Keith shouted from the sky.
"Ragh!" Herrick and Melor charged from the front while Keith came down from the sky! Everything landed on that monster! It was destructive, destroying the bark!!
"Now!" Two voices overlapped: Krystal dashed forth like an arrow! All vines were either focused on the three or being destroyed by the rest.
That stone was clear in line for a shot!
However, as Krystal dashed forth, the treant had one final card up its sleeve! A giant head appeared from above, wanting to take a bite out of her.
"Hmpf." But that was when a big shadow appeared. Using Blink was easy enough to get in the way.
"Guhh."
"Keith!"
"Go!" Don't look at me.
"..." I understand. Krystal's eyes refocused as she increased her speed even. It was only the treant and her.
The outcome was obvious.
"!" There was no sound coming from the treant as it slowly dropped to the ground. A solid yet silent thud.
"Yahoo! We did it!"
"That was amazing, Krystal!"
This was the beginning of her journey.
…
"We got such a haul today!" Jack laughed as he swung his hands in the air. Sarah sighed as she stared at her brother. Do you have to keep saying that? After defeating the treant, Keith and the others stuffed it into their storage rings. Because there was so much, they had to use two storage rings!
Everyone was a little excited about all of this. That was because of the large number of coins they earned.
"...I can't believe they gave us so many coins," Krystal muttered. She never believed it. She was stunned when Madison heard about how they explored an unexplored section. But it was nothing compared to the excitement Scar and the others at Iron Hilde.
Everyone decided that the gemstones would be sold to them. And they made a lot of coins out of it.
"What are you guys planning to do with all of this?"
"Make new weapons."
"Definitely going to get a new set of armor."
While everyone talked about it, Krystal handed Keith some coins, "Here."
"Huh?"
"Repayment."
"I told you before you don't need to."
"Here." Krystal's eyes were serious.
"...Fine." So straightlaced.
Everyone went home with a happy smile. Diana was the first to greet them as always, "Welcome home, everyone. How was your exploration?"
"We're rich!"
"That's nice." Diana turned to Krystal, "While you were away, a letter was sent to all of you."
"Thank you." Keith nodded as he took the letters. The same went for everyone. But as they looked through it, Keith noticed how Krystal's expression changed into something unimaginable.
