[BL] Tamer of Another World

60 - Evil Forest Dryad

Three days later, Cole and Celia finally arrived at the center of the Flowerhead Forest.

The place had a big contrast in the usual sight of the forest because the location was very desolate. Dried trees, blackened land, occasional skeletons of both beast and humanoid creatures... The center of the Flowerhead Forest looks like a land of dead.

Both Cole and Celia frown at the strange condition of the place.

Just what happen to this place?

The party raised their guard to the maximum. The forest might have something more dangerous than the main body of the parasite.

Cole immediately summon his [Summoning Grimoire] and activate the skill [Protect] that envelopes them both.

"Stay vigilant and never lower your guard down. There might be something more dangerous than the parasite here." Cole warned Celia.

"Or maybe, that parasites' level was high that it actually acquired the skill to absorb the energy of this piece of land." Celia said seriously. It seems that the parasite are not limited to just another living beings, it looks like it also can parasite to the very world itself. If her theory happen to be true... Chills runs throughout her body.

"Could be." Cole said heavily.

After their short moment of preparation, they finally continue their investigation and enter the center of the forest.

The center truly are desolate. Not even one beast, or even a bug, could be seen and not any kind of flora are alive. It was all black and dry.

And without any hindrance, they finally arrived at the very center of the Flowerhead Forest. The place was full of tall but dried up trees and in the middle was the biggest tree of them all.

Cole and Celia inspected everything they pass as they float forward toward the biggest tree. Until they arrived at the front of the biggest tree, they didn't encounter any obstruction. However, instead of lowering their guard down, it was raised up even more.

Seeing her very tense Master, Celia can't help but suggest at Cole through their [Soul Link], "Why don't we postpone this mission for the meantime and wait until we increase our level?"

Cole tensed body ease up a little. He shake his head and reply, "No need. With this defensive bubble protecting us, I doubt that there is someone or something that could break this within this place. We only have to probe. We will leave immediately if something bad arises."

Celia shrug. Well, she try.

"Come on, come closer to me. I'll shrink this bubble to the limit and maximize the defense it can provide." Cole instructed while stretching his hands to Celia.

Celia smile widely and hold her Master's hand tightly.

After they make sure that there was nothing that could threaten them outside, they finally walked towards the opening of the biggest tree. They were pretty much sure that the main body of the parasite was inside of this dried up tree.

The space inside the tree had the size the same of basketball court. Although the space was a little dark but it could easily be seen that the place was clean.

There was nothing inside the space except for a strenge, evil looking tree with a shape of a human. Female human to be exact. It's tree body have a curves a sexy woman possessed and a bump on its chest. It looks very sexy. If it was a human, Cole was pretty sure that it will be one of hell woman. Pity, just like a tree, it possessed a skin of a dried bark and it let out a dark and evil repulsive aura.
