Chapter 739.
Chapter 739 – Chaos
“It’s ready to start.”
Sol, who was being torn by a large number of branches and leaves, suddenly spoke.
This made the opposite Dean Pound alert once again.
He could not dare to underestimate Saul, a newly promoted third rank, at all now.
However, he was only a second-ranked sorcerer, and even with the help of the Inverted Tree, he could only control the other party temporarily.
So when the seemingly bound person suddenly opened his mouth without any hindrance, Pound’s heart that had just been put down was raised to his throat again.
Saul was still muttering to himself, “Herman’s got the tree, I’m going to have to go pick him up to get him out.”
When Bond heard the word “tree seed”, he wondered if the other man was bluffing, and could only direct the tree branches to wrap Saul in the center in layer after layer, almost like a “ball of wool”.
But Saul’s voice was still smooth and strong.
“Tell Keri that the spell formation can be activated.”
Before Bond could think again about the meaning of Saul’s words, the seemingly tight and unbreakable confinement of the tree branches in front of him suddenly cracked a vertical slit from the center.
Subsequently, that vertical slit continued to extend, split, extend again, and split again.
It was like an egg shell that had been easily cracked.
Then there was a crash.
The tree branches, leaves, and a large number of long, thin roots that imprisoned Saul all turned into broken pieces and fell to the ground.
The inside of these pieces were also stained with black liquid, which continued to corrode the remains of the branches.
Saul took a step forward, stepping out of the circle formed by the scattered branches and roots, and stood in front of Pound.
“I’ve been told not to compete with me on contamination. If I hadn’t kept the Tree of Inversions for another use, I would have melted you all down long ago.”
The black skeleton in front of him seemed like a messenger from the abyss, and Pound lost all his courage to fight it in an instant.
After even his most powerful weapon was easily corrupted by the other party.
The belief that he once served Lord Bestana was as ruthlessly disintegrated as the tree branch cage just now.
Pound stood still, without even a chance to escape.
The last image he saw was a translucent gray tentacle with sharp-toothed suckers on it.
Casually shaking off the wooden figure that looked like it had been struck by lightning, Saul prepared to enter the Inverted Tree once again to pick up Herman.
Just now, he had already picked up Penny directly back to the Death Witch Diary, but Herman was carrying the tree seed and couldn’t go directly back to the diary.
He could only bother him, the master, to pick it up as well.
Just before stepping into the inner space of the Inverted Tree, Saul turned around and scanned behind him, but he did not see the orange cat’s silhouette.
“It seems that Kate has already taken the opportunity to escape. Heh, go to the outer city …… at this time to fend for yourself.”
That orange cat probably wouldn’t have thought that the most dangerous place was actually the safest place.
Saul naturally wouldn’t waste time looking for a cat, the deal between them had long since ended.
Right now, he was anxious to pick up Herman.
At the same time, if Shia was still alive, then Saul still had a deal he wanted to talk to the other party about yet.
Saul jumped into the stump and his figure disappeared.
……
The outer city of Kaukoust.
Panic, death, struggle, disaster!
Clutching tightly to the sorcery book he had just bought in his hand, Dozer, a second-level sorcerer apprentice, followed the flow of people fleeing towards the gates of the outer city.
None of them knew how the disaster happened. All they knew was that just now suddenly a large number of tree roots and branches were sticking out of the ground and rapidly exploding.
Many ordinary people were killed and injured.
The sorcerer apprentices, on the other hand, would show obvious signs of alienation due to the black gas produced by the explosion.
But before these apprentices could be alienated, they were pierced by the roots and branches of the trees that grew out of the ground and were entangled by more and finer roots into the shape of insect cocoons.
Only a head was left hanging down helplessly.
The image of such a scene scared Dozer so much that his hands and feet went limp, and he could only desperately run towards the outside of the city. There were many other sorcerer apprentices like Dozer in the outer city of Archaeust.
Suddenly, a crack appeared underneath Dozer’s feet, shaking him to the point that he stood unsteadily and tilted to one side.
But then he was glad he hadn’t stood still and swayed a bit.
Because in the next second, a large number of branches drilled out of the crack, directly impaling one of the people on Dozer’s side into a hedgehog.
That person he recognized was none other than the Level 3 Sorcerer Apprentice who had crossed paths with him as a refugee.
The initially arrogant third level apprentice was now hanging in mid-air like a small worm, dying without even having the chance to struggle to cast a spell.
Wiping a handful of hot blood splattered on his face, Dozer almost forgot that he was an apprentice sorcerer and could use sorcery to clean the blood directly off his face.
He staggered to his feet with one hand on the ground, then continued to run catatonic.
Only to leave the sorcery book he’d just paid good money for in its place.
The missing tome was half hidden under the body by the falling dirt ……
Shortly afterward, an orange cat burrowed out from underneath the rubble, deftly dodging the roots that stabbed at him.
He slipped narrowly as he stepped on the booklet on the ground.
Then, stabilizing himself, Kate looked up and saw the body hanging off to the side, already gradually being trapped into a cocoon by the thin roots.
“Crazy, crazy, just crazy!”
The orange cat glanced around and found a path that wasn’t very crowded to continue her escape.
……
Outside of the city of Archester, Kori was sitting on the roof of a small two-story building, holding her chin up as she waited for Sol’s signal.
“What do you guys think Saul is trying to do with all this fuss?”
Agu and Anne were sitting next to Kori on the left and right.
Agu didn’t say a word as he could see that this combined sorcery spell was anything but simple.
Even if it was a secondary spell formation, it would require the combined efforts of Korrie and him to complete the construction.
On the other hand, Anne cocked her head, “Maybe the master wants to take over the city!”
Agu gave An a breathless look, although he wasn’t really sure what Saul had come over to do. But he knew that Saul should have come over to get one thing.
His master, whom he still understood, wasn’t interested in world domination or anything at all, and even the Lordless Lands needed other people to help him run them.
It couldn’t be said to be like the original Lord Golza, it could only be said to be exactly the same.
“I don’t think so!” An shook his head, “The archaeologists once hunted us down, and now that the master has advanced to the third rank, he naturally wants to retaliate back. Maybe it will directly slaughter the city ……”
An was just in the middle of her sentence when the distant Archaeust City suddenly exploded with a loud noise.
She directly froze in place.
“Wait, I’m just saying, master he won’t really want to slaughter the city, right?”
As the second massacre was said, another continuous loud noise came from within the city of Archaeust and was accompanied by a strong earth tremor, so much so that even they who were far away from the city could feel their feet trembling slightly.
Kori and Agu stood up at the same time and jumped to the ground.
“Something’s happened to Kaukoust, will Saul be okay in there?”
She looked at Agu.
Saul had reintroduced her to several consciousnesses over the past few days, and Kori knew that there was a special connection between them and Saul.
Agu was waiting intently, but had received no signals whatsoever, and could only look for a reaction from Ann’s side.
“I’m not getting any messages either.” The banter that Ann had just joked about had disappeared, and she looked somewhat worriedly at the distant koukouste.
Soon, they noticed a large number of branches growing within the walls, and could vaguely see a few strange fruit-like orbs on them.
“It doesn’t look like it’s Saul’s doing.” Kori crossed her arms over her chest, “So should we go in and save him?”
“I think we’d better figure out how to save ourselves first.” Ann suddenly grabbed Korrie’s arm and leapt backward.
The next second, a branch the thickness of an arm came out of the ground and grazed the bottom of Kagome’s shoe, stabbing into the sky.
