    <span style="font-weight:400">"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.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"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."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I understand."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Make sure tond a clean blow." "Don''t put so much pressure on her, Melor!" Herrick shook his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Everyone, move!" With a n in ce, 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.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" The boy didn''t budge from his spot. However, something was offsetting.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Creak.


    <span style="font-weight:400">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.


    <span style="font-weight:400">We need to make the opening as soon as possible. Krystal''s eyes focused on the nt as she watched the others move. I need to blow it up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Bottom? No, it''s too dense with vines.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Top? I''ll just get blown away.


    <span style="font-weight:400">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 ze.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Rx." Krystal turned around to see Alfia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"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."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." She''s right.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"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 firstyer of its defense. The second defense was the bark around the stone. She couldn''t tell where the demon stone was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I need to figure out where it is.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The girl wasn''t the only one thinking about this. Keith continued slicing down the vines; he realized the stone needed to be located.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, Melor, I will make a path for you guys! You guys make some cuts against it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Melor raised his axe while Herrick beastified. It was go time!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ragh!" Pulling the vines, his de 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.


    <span style="font-weight:400">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.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now!" Keith shouted from the sky.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ragh!" Herrick and Melor charged from the front while Keith came down from the sky! Everythingnded on that monster! It was destructive, destroying the bark!!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now!" Two voices ovepped: Krystal dashed forth like an arrow! All vines were either focused on the three or being destroyed by the rest.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That stone was clear in line for a shot!


    <span style="font-weight:400">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.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf." But that was when a big shadow appeared. Using Blink was easy enough to get in the way.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guhh."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Go!" Don''t look at me.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." I understand. Krystal''s eyes refocused as she increased her speed even. It was only the treant and her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The oue was obvious.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" There was no sounding from the treant as it slowly dropped to the ground. A solid yet silent thud.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yahoo! We did it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That was amazing, Krystal!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">This was the beginning of her journey.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We got such a haul today!" Jackughed 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!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone was a little excited about all of this. That was because of therge number of coins they earned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...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 nothingpared to the excitement Scar and the others at Iron Hilde.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone decided that the gemstones would be sold to them. And they made a lot of coins out of it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are you guys nning to do with all of this?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Make new weapons."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Definitely going to get a new set of armor."


    <span style="font-weight:400">While everyone talked about it, Krystal handed Keith some coins, "Here."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Repayment."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I told you before you don''t need to."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Here." Krystal''s eyes were serious.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Fine." So straighced.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone went home with a happy smile. Diana was the first to greet them as always, "Wee home, everyone. How was your exploration?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''re rich!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s nice." Diana turned to Krystal, "While you were away, a letter was sent to all of you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"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.
