The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 57

It didn't take long for Xi to defeat the three remaining people. Not only were their abilities inadequate, but their experience was still severely lacking. Xi easily defeated them. In fact, fighting against these people cannot be called a fight.

“It turns out you guys are just big talk... Your capabilities are greatly exaggerated.” I didn't think it through during the fight. These people were always shouting the names of their skills out loud. They call it very strange... No, rather the name of the skill was too childish, even to the point of being ridiculed.

Nothing special about them. In fact, the equipment they used was just ordinary equipment. Such as swords, magic wands, and leather armor. And all that, can be bought at the nearest stores in the city. But luckily, among them there was still someone quite useful...

Xi walked slowly closer where Guma's body lay.

‘True. He's already dead. Looks like my attack was too strong to break his throat... But yes, whatever it is, *Touching her body. And enveloped Guma's body with darkness. Now from the cocoon of darkness, Guma is reborn in the form of spiritual darkness.

[You managed to summon]

Looking from the memories Guma had before her death. It seemed, These people were aiming for the fruit that was on the tree *The tree in question was right in front of him*the fruit from the tree could increase one's stat points. It's only natural why they want it so badly. This is a step item...

Of course, this kind of step item has conditions that must be met. One of the conditions to receive the effects of the fruit is, someone who eats it has not reached level 30. And my current level is level 29, I'm really very lucky. I can still use it.

In one tree there are around more than twenty fruits. At first glance the fruit looks like apples in general, apples that we often buy and we eat. However, the difference may only be in terms of color. Because, the color of an apple that looks like this is pink.

The moment Xi stepped one two was rare. Suddenly, an unknown surprise attack of his origin leads right at him.

Quickly and with quick reflexes. Xi lowered his head to avoid the attack. Then, he jumped back and forth making a distance in between.

Unexpected and quite surprising. Which, the attack came from the tree in front of him. However, it was not known why the tree had suddenly attacked whereas just a moment ago until he defeated the Guma party, the tree was still silent, and looked like an ordinary tree.

Hmmmm? *Xi looks around the tree well. There was a lot of blood on the roots of the tree, then it gradually began to dry up. Not because of the effects of hot weather that evaporates blood. However, this is because the tree sucks human blood.

[Oug Tree: is a monster type/plant type that steps. The fruit produced is very beneficial for many people. Many times people are fooled by the beauty of this tree. What they did not notice was, as the Oug Tree absorbed the blood. It will become aggressive and attack any living thing around it.]

At this distance of twenty meters, Xi observed the movements from the attack of the Oug Tree. Something surprising with the size of the roots are quite large, the movement is so fast and flexible.

Xi who saw him quickly woke up. Each root stem that attacked it was of medium size, and the other small roots were in charge of guarding or being held captive to the Oug Tree.

Avoiding every attack of the Oug Tree with its speed. In this case, the Oug Tree can attack Xi from any direction thanks to its root flexibility, making subsequent attacks or continued attacks of the Oug Tree unpredictable. And again, the Oug Tree is a plant, it attacks what is around it by relying on instincts like wild animals. Although it does not have high intelligence, but this one creature cannot be underestimated. Each attack is very fast again deadly.

In addition to relying on his speed it was fortunate to dodge every attack. Xi, also relying on agility, observers, predictions, and with calm thinking he can choose the best steps for himself.

Xi has also attacked several times. But it was just an experiment. He threw a blessing at one of the roots, but it did not die from a scratch. Even when Xi slashed at him using the adventurer's sword, it did not directly cut him off. In fact, the sword was stuck in one of the roots.

‘Although the attack is fast, and the roots are also flexible. So, he can attack in various directions freely with his flexibility. But, still, that doesn't change the fact that his attacks aren't well controlled. Some of the roots are tied to each other because of the attack is so original.’ Like a tangled rope. It will not escape on its own, if not helped to justify it.

However, even though the attack from the Oug Tree was not well controlled. It cannot be denied, that ordinary attacks will have no effect on him. It requires a very powerful attack to destroy the root... Maybe an explosion.

‘There's no explosion magic I'm mastering for now. But, there's one other way. By burning it with fire. The natural weakness for any kind of plant is fire. No plant can survive if burned.’

Xi started to shift his mana to both of his hands. And form a magic circle in each. “[Fire Burst]”

The two flames that looked like pillars moved swiftly and burned every root he could use. However, the fire was not hot enough to burn the roots to ashes. There's still a lot left. In fact, the roots can still be in motion, but with reduced speed and flexibility.

“But Not Enough? Increased magic power! Increased magic attacks! *Xi added buff to herself. On the buff, each one increases strength and attack by 20%.* Alright, how about this! [Fire Burst]!!”

‘Should this time succeed.’

With buff used to increase the strength and power of the attack. Xi also increased the amount of Mana used for the spell in order for his strength to increase drastically.

The red flames that smoldering with its temperature were so hot that it could even be felt on the face. Swallowing the roots into the mouth of the turbulent fire. The remaining temperature of the fire, making it able to burn the roots of the Oug Tree that attacked it to the end.

And it doesn't stop there. The hot temperature of the area also evaporates the blood pools found around the Oug Tree. Thus, its effectiveness decreases drastically and makes it become less aggressive again, until the Oug Tree returns to being like a normal tree.
