<span style="font-weight:400">What the three saw in the middle of the room was a giant tree. It was eye-catching. However, Keith frowned as he stared at it.
<span style="font-weight:400">What kind of tree is that?
<span style="font-weight:400">It wasn''t any ordinary tree. It looked like a weeping willow tree. The entire body of the tree was pitch ck, while the leaves were red like blood.
<span style="font-weight:400">Something is definitely wrong with it. Keith didn''t know why, but he felt the tree was injured. A sinister aura surrounded it. Heck, even Aria was full of wariness, prepared to take the thing if it made a move.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, look at the floor." Keith stared down and noticed the mounds of magic stones under it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is the raptor feeding it?" As the questions continued to go through his mind,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kwak!" Aria sprang forth and fired her ice! Keith and Titus jumped back from the danger.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The vines are moving!" What was behind them were ck vines. Besides that, they chased after them!
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith and Titus quickly moved! However, those vines were relentless!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hah!" Keith sliced at the vine. Yet, his eyes turned dark. It didn''t get through. His sword couldn''t go through the vine. It was too sturdy.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s too many." Titus groaned. The whole room was entrapped by those vines.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Keith''s arm was grabbed.
<span style="font-weight:400">I have to y one of my trump cards. He smacked it away and raised his hand,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what''s the matter?" Diana appeared before him. She was surprised since Keith rarely called her out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No time to exin! Please deal with that!" It would take too long to exin it to her. And a vine went straight at her from behind!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Diana!" "Watch out!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Diana gave a turn, and the vine was stopped in its tracks! She shook her head, "Do you think you can- eh?" She was about to taunt the attack, but her voice halted as she saw the tree.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dian-EPPP!" Keith screeched as he took a step away from her!
<span style="font-weight:400">Her eyes turned dangerous! It was that of a monster!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who dares do this?!" A cold and menacing voice came out of her mouth. That calm and gentle voice was nowhere in sight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Um, Diana, what happened to it?" Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That tree has been corrupted."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Corrupted."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. And I''m going to destroy it." Diana waved her hand. When she did, roots came out of the ground! Each one held down a vine. Three circled around the tree, slowlytching onto it! With a snap of her fingers, the tree was crushed!
<span style="font-weight:400">"....Damn." Keith couldn''t help but blurt out. What Diana did was too overpowered! She took out that tree with a snap of a finger.
<span style="font-weight:400">Literally!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hah." Diana took a deep sigh. That caused the three to take a few extra steps back. They don''t want to get destroyed!
<span style="font-weight:400">Diana asked Keith, "Keith, why are you standing so far away from me?" Keith was about a few meters away from her. It was quite the distance.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing, Ms. Diana. Just nothing." "What''s with the formal attitude?!" Did something happen?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing''s the matter, Ms.Diana." "I know we haven''t seen each other for quite some time. But don''t call me that."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, Keith," Titus called out. It seemed he was forgotten.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh," Thank god. Keith smiled, "This is my ind''s dorm mother, Diana."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dorm mother?" Wait what? Is that a new species or something?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, please keep this a secret from everyone. I''m not supposed to summon her." Diana was a great spirit. He could only summon her in dire situations without many people like right now.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry, I will." Titus nodded. If someone found out about this, they would probably flip out. He was keeping his cool in all of this. But he also understood why Keith was so worried.
<span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, do you want to take the seed?" Diana questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Seed? There''s a seed?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I can sense the seed is still alive." Diana nced at a certain spot, "Here it is." With a wave, the seed popped out from the ground. It floated into Keith''s hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is a seed?" What was in his hand was the size of a baseball! Never had he seen such a seed before.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s going to be a little tricky. However, I know you will be able to grow it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Keith thought about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what do you n to do now?" Since they had taken down the tree, what else was left?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yeah," Keith smirked. "I know what we need to do next."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Why do I not like that grin on your face? It was something. And he could tell it was beyond evil!
