Chapter 38: The Use of the Holy Water

Following the path opened by the elite war treant, Seuss and the others smoothly arrived at the center of the forest. They saw the sleeping Twisted Tree Spirit and the constantly moving Elite War Treat Gru.

“You criminals actually dare to come here.” Seeing Seuss and the others appear, Elite War Treant Gru was instantly enraged.

Because he knew that there was only one possibility, and that was that the elite war treant had failed and fallen into the hands of the criminals in front of him.

“Gru, don’t be anxious. Look at what this is.” Seuss raised the leaf left behind by that elite war treant and shouted at Gru.

Rumble…

Gru’s footsteps shook the earth. He looked at the leaf in Seuss’s hand and stopped.

.

“This, this is…” Looking at the leaf, Gru couldn’t finish his sentence.

“Yes, your companion entrusted this to us. We can help your lord, we can eliminate the power of the evil demons,” Seuss said loudly as he looked at the elite war treant in front of him.

“Gringer is a warrior. He will definitely be able to meet the God of Nature and live a peaceful life from now on.” Gru did not cry, but his exquisite face did not have any expression as he slowly talked about the past.

That’s right, these elite war treants and the war treants had not had a peaceful day since a thousand years ago.

First, they attacked the dragon race. That battle was extremely tragic. Only a thousand out of a million dragons were left alive, and the losses within the alliance of races were even more disastrous.

It was very difficult to imagine how powerful the dragons were. As long as those dragons reached adulthood, they would at least have the strength of an epic-level monster. As for the alliance of races, other than a few heroes, most of them were ordinary people. After sacrificing countless lives that exceeded the dragons’ multiple times, they finally obtained a tragic victory.

Yet even after the victory, they did not have a good time because the entire Atlanta Continent was devastated by the war. It was the treants who took on the task of saving the land.

It took several decades, with the treants and orcs forming an alliance, before the land was restored.

However, at this time, the blood, hatred, and evil that erupted from the war continued to spread outwards, eventually attracting the demons living in the void.

Countless demons rushed in from the void. The Atlanta City had just regained its vitality when a second war started.

After the bitter war ended, countless races fell into madness because of the remnant demonic power. They had no choice but to seal themselves, thus falling to their current state.

“Since Gringer chose to believe you, I will also choose to believe you,” Gru said in a heavy tone.

Rumble…

Gru walked over to the Twisted Tree Spirit and stood beside his lord.

“Since you want to help my lord destroy the demonic power, I will help you. However, I will not attack my lord. After fulfilling your request, I will leave.”

The loud noise made Seuss’s eardrums hurt. He took out the four portions of holy water from his backpack and handed them to Gru.

“The holy water can purify the power of the evil demons. As long as you can feed the holy water to your lord, the power of demons in his body will temporarily lie dormant. At that time, your lord will temporarily regain consciousness.”

This was what Seuss had asked Moon Devourer yesterday at the very last moment. However, at that time, time was limited. Seuss only knew that by giving the Twisted Tree Spirit holy water, he could reduce the demonic power in his body and weaken the Twisted Tree Spirit.

Yesterday, without knowing the situation, Seuss and the others had confronted the Twisted Tree Spirit head-on, but the Twisted Tree Spirit was too powerful.

A hero of the past, even if he sealed himself now, it was not something Seuss and the others could deal with. Moreover, the Twisted Tree Spirit also had the enhancement of demonic power.

Although they had taken holy water and were immune to direct damage from the demon power, the demon power had already soaked every inch of the Twisted Tree Spirit’s body.

Not only did the Twisted Tree Spirit gain the ability to attack with additional damage, but it also greatly enhanced the attributes of the Twisted Tree Spirit.

In the end, apart from Madman who was covered in defensive equipment, no one could withstand the second attack.

Even Madman, with the full recovery from Daydreamer and his own medicine, could only withstand two attacks. When the third attack landed, he became a corpse.

After Madman fell, the fate of the entire team came to an end. They were swatted to death by the Twisted Tree Spirit like mosquitoes.

“It can’t be, can we really pass it in one go?” Sirius moved closer to Seuss and tugged at the corner of his shirt.

Looking at Sirius whose face was flushed red, Seuss felt his face burning. He said with certainty, “Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to bring you for the clear.”

Daydreamer glanced over and smiled, instantly understanding what was going on.

He was already in his forties and had seen many things. He understood what these young people were thinking with just one look.

“Holy water?” Gru was a little surprised. However, when he took a closer look at the holy water, he shook his head and said, “This isn’t the real holy water. It’s an imitation created by the later generations.”

“An imitation?” Seuss asked Gru. “Is there a difference between an imitation of holy water and real holy water? Who made the real holy water?”

In Sanctuary, knowledge was power. If Seuss had not happened to know the story behind these treants, it might have been difficult for him to pass.

Hence, Seuss did not want to give up any chance of obtaining knowledge and couldn’t wait to ask. Gru was an elite war treant who had lived for more than a thousand years. He was a living history book.

Although he might not know what happened after the demon war, he might have experienced many things in history before that.

“The holy water was created by the Goddess of Light, of course.” Gru shook his head. This human in front of him who was from a thousand years later did not even know about such things. “Although this fake holy water is not as good as the real holy water, it’s still not bad. Compared to the real holy water, it might not have much effect on the highly concentrated demonic power.”

“If only this fake holy water could have appeared back then, it wouldn’t have been so hard for us to face the demons.” Gru sighed, remembering what had happened a thousand years ago.

“Well, after helping you guys this time, I’m leaving.” Gru strode over to the Twisted Tree Spirit.

On the Twisted Tree Spirit’s trunk, he used his roots to drill a small hole and poured all four portions of holy water into it. Then, he broke the tree root that had just been drilled into the hole and stuffed the small hole.

The red color on the Twisted Tree Spirit’s body rapidly faded away. It turned from a strange giant tree that was completely red to a giant black tree. However, those sinister-looking branches could no longer turn back.
