chapter-1401
King Yama returned to his realm as he knew that both Adrian and Levin Cloud will be the one to oversee the situation later. Peridot, on the other hand, did not know why the two referred to the god of death as kindhearted. She knows that the Queen of the Alluring Forest only has a day to live in her human form.
"Why are you calling that old man kindhearted? He only gave her like a day to spend with her beloved. I would not call that kindhearted in my opinion." Peridot stated as she pouted.
"Why is he not kindhearted when he changed the destiny of death that the Queen of the Alluring Forest? She would have likely died this year if he did not intervene." Adrian stated.
"You should be actually looking at it with a mortal's perspective when death can come to you arbitrarily. She is already blessed that she was given new life but I think you should be praising King Yama instead." Levin Cloud added as both him and Adrian smiled.
"Giving someone new life is always a blessing when you know that you are going to die. The fact that King Yama actually erased her name in the Book of the Dead meant that he would also need to go against providence. He will likely have a minor altercation in his realm for doing something like that.He returned quite quickly when we summoned him for a whole day. He may have returned because he knows that being with us for the rest of the time will just endanger us. Our punishment for messing with the natural law is already coming for us anyway." Adrian stated he pointed upwards.
Massive dark clouds started to form on top of the Alluring Forest and even the winds started to become harsh. All the people near the Alluring Forest could see that a powerful energy is forming on top of the forest which they mistaken for a tribulation of a powerful beast. They did not know that it was not tribulation but a punishment for messing with the natural law.
The curious onlookers wanted to see if the beast that will undergo tribulation would succeed but they were afraid of the massive energy being pulled. If they enter the Alluring Forest then they could also become a casualty as the lighting that will be produced seemed to be greater than the usual.
"Can I go now since I am not really part of the thing that happened here?" Kabrakan stated as he was not really that involved in what they did.
"Oh! You are already part of it because this punishment was meant for all four of us. It would not be that big if that was the case." Levin Cloud stated.
"You actually counted wrong because I have seven other souls in my body which means we are facing a punishment meant for eleven people." Adrian corrected them which even made Levin Cloud limp even though he was confident before.
Just like Adrian stated, the clouds were still forming like crazy and it did not seem to be stopping despite covering the entire Alluring Forest. Levin Cloud did not panic as he knew that he might be able to at least save himself but he also wants to save everyone. He is quite confident because he gained an increase of mastery with the Guardian of the Forest skill."We should start our preparation if we actually want to live this punishment. I can tell you that this will negate our revival. If we die here then we will die and be locked out of the game for a day." Adrian warned them which shocked Peridot and Kabrakan.
Peridot is suddenly a bit ashamed of the fickle that she gave the team for her wish. Adrian and Levin Cloud did not tell her off though because they know that they have the last say on the matter anyway. Levin Cloud wanted to do it for the increase in mastery and Adrian wanted to do it to help his friend.
Peridot then transformed to her Ryujin form and started to create multiple elemental barriers above them. Kabrakan changed to his mountain armor and started creating a barrier using his energy and his Wilde Soul assisted in strengthening the barriers that Peridot already placed. Adrian started to summon all his soulbounds and commanded them to increase their protection.
Levin Cloud then started to see the powers of his newly upgraded Guardian of the Forest skill. The Alluring Forest currently has no queen or ruler which means he can now use the newly acquired ability he got. His new ability allows him to synchronize with the forest itself as one can see since he is doing it right now.
Levin Cloud's body started to slightly morph into his true form as part of his lower body started to get rooted into the ground. The trees of the Alluring Forest started to move with his command as everything in the forest became a part of his control. He could do this before but he did not have the ability to control an entire forest of this size.
Levin Cloud's rooted body looked like a forest god that awakened from its slumber and used its power to control the trees. The whole forest started to shake as Levin Cloud commanded all the trees to use all of their energy to protect them. Just as he commanded, all the trees sent their energies to him and he used that to create a dome of vines covering the entire forest.
The onlookers could see the sudden progression of the vines in the forest covering it which solidified their guesses that a monster was undergoing tribulation. The onlookers were like hyenas waiting to see the result of the tribulation as they wanted to see if they could take care of the weakened beast after the tribulation.
"No wonder the Allurers were acting strange earlier! Their master must be undergoing tribulation which is why they were sent to root out all the people inside the Alluring Forest!" One of the immortals that were waiting for the results stated to his group.
"If such a beast that has powerful tribulation survives then would it not be at the level of the divine beasts?" One of the immortal's students asked.
"With a tribulation like that, we can be at least sure that it is as powerful as the divine beasts. We need to see the outcome of this tribulation as this will affect the eastern continent as a whole." The immortal stated.
The powerhouses near the Alluring Forest all watched as the scene of the entire forest getting protected by a dome of vines flooded their eyes. The former Queen of the Alluring Forest could see that something is happening within her forest and wanted to check if she could help as she knew that she is the source of this trouble.
Just as the former Queen of the Alluring Forest is about to return to the forest, her beloved held her hand and told her not to go. She explained to him what she really is and what really happened but her beloved did not care as he hugged her there. She was about to push him away when a snow white fox suddenly appeared before her.
"Are you a messenger of the gods?" The former Queen of the Alluring Forest's lover stated as white foxes are sometimes known to be messenger of the forgotten gods of the east.
"You can say that but my master has told me to tell that woman over there to not interfere with what is happening. She would not be of any use even if she goes to them as she is now human for the rest of her life. King Yama has granted her the chance of becoming a human due to her resolve.
The Queen of the Alluring Forest is no more as you will no longer turn into a plant monster after a day. That was all a test that King Yama has given you to see if you would break. Congratulations and live a good life with your beloved." Yuki stated as she suddenly vanished as her body turned to snow.
Just as Yuki vanished, a powerful lighting came crashing towards the giant vine dome that encompassed the entire Alluring Forest. The lightning not only hit the center where they were but scattered all throughout the vine dome as Levin Cloud intended. Levin Cloud hurriedly tried to replenish the vine dome with the remaining energy that he got as it will not end with one strike.
The energy of the Alluring Forest is sucked dry as Levin Cloud hurriedly tried to create another dome but lightning strikes faster. The second lightning strike hit all the barriers that Peridot created which actually hit her soul. She is immediately incapacitated as a result, but Saena immediately started healing her.
"Next time, let those that love die. I am not dying for another person's love ever again." Peridot grumbled as she could not move her body.
