T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 201.200. You call Mint "Mom"?

Everything that seemed illogical now had a rational explanation.

The jailer suddenly realized, "So that's why the nun's radar wasn't working on her."

The woman in the blankets was also amazed: "Your nun radar is pretty impressive, what's the working principle behind it?"

"An old gentleman's intuition!" The jailer's gaze was firm.

Black mist filled the air, and dark red light flashed rapidly. A strong sense of dizziness, accompanied by nausea, swept over everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The dawn redwood remained motionless, yet an invisible attack had already begun.

The jailer showed his reliable side. Sensing that the cypress tree would make a move, he quickly summoned his spirit and used his newly learned skill, [Soul Gift], to increase the mental magic resistance of the entire team.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the boundary between reality and illusion had not been lost, Shui Shan immediately locked her gaze on Zhong Zemo, who was standing at the very front of the group, holding a shield.

"Anti-magic shield... You actually possess anti-magic equipment."

She sensed it clearly: the magic released by the jailer was instantly dispelled by the aura released by the anti-magic shield.

In reality, it is the powerful magical distortion force that suppresses magic that is actually effective.

"You came prepared."

The purple light in the metasequoia's eyes was as dazzling as stars, while the black mist, like silt, continuously leaked out from behind her.

It's not a fancy trick that's useless; it's a magic that's been transformed by the dawn redwood, making it unusable by others.

A bizarre power identical to that of the demons of the Great Snow Mountain.

"The distortion of magic suppression also has its limits."

Centered on the dawn redwood, ripples visible to the naked eye spread out.

"I want your consciousness to perish with Mint!"

How could they be so extreme? Didn't they even give me a chance to explain?

"Om~~~"

The dizzying roar, like a giant hammer, pounded on everyone's thoughts, as if trying to shake open their sea of ​​consciousness and reach the very root of their souls.

The entire group at the boundary between reality and illusion transformed into a long, straight line, resembling an eagle catching chicks, and shrank behind the squid.

"Squid, advance!" Jiang Heyi shouted.

Their long-standing tacit understanding meant that what they needed to do was already self-evident.

The squid charged headlong into the ever-rising tide of mental energy, relying on the distorting effect of its magic-suppressing power, which was so strong it was unreasonable, cutting through the waves as if it were in an empty field.

"Humph."

The dawn redwood suddenly flung its hand, unleashing a magical strike that sent pebbles flying and cracks appearing in the ground.

The spell-blocking ability can block directly applied magic, but it is ineffective against secondary damage caused by magic.

The long, serpentine formation that was advancing suddenly came to an abrupt halt due to a ditch that appeared on the ground.

The arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Facing a monster like the demon, which even the elites of the Imperial Mage Tower feared, they had only one chance.

Fight!

Zhong Zemo gripped the magic-suppressing round shield, spun around, and with a sudden burst of power from his waist and abdomen, he used the standard discus-throwing motion to turn the small round shield into a cannonball, aiming straight at the metasequoia tree.

Even demons, when faced with a rapidly flying UFO that can harm them on both magical and physical levels, cannot help but dodge to the side.

Just that brief gap is enough.

Using the [Spirit Enhancement] skill, Orange Tea Wind Spirit performed multi-threaded operations, doing its utmost to apply the buff to everyone.

"I'll go deliver one first!"

The woman in the quilt, who had always been in charge of drawing the gun line, was already prepared to be killed instantly. Without hesitation, she stealthily approached the water cypress and forcibly drew her attention to herself.

"Corrupted Corpse Explosion!"

"Elemental Fusion Torrent!"

The four Primitives and the jailer immediately unleashed their killing moves. The four Primitives even activated the [Temporary Overdraft] skill, causing the Elemental Fusion Torrent to continuously blast the Metasequoia, creating a suppressive effect.

Seeing this, Jiang Heyi immediately transformed into a support, converting the accumulated [Tide] into magic power and channeling it into the two of them to enhance the power of their skills.

"Crying blood!"

French Fries let out a loud shout, his blood energy dissipating as he forcibly pushed his combat power to its peak through self-harm, while also ensuring that even a slight touch would result in his instant death.

As the dawn redwood dealt with the incoming magical attack head-on, she swung her sword down with a powerful blow.

The blue light emanating from the metasequoia tree was a strange, sticky shield that absorbed most of the French fries' attack.

"Metasequoia...we call mint 'Mom,' can you...?"

Fries gritted his teeth, took out the [Final Potential] potion he had obtained from Mint, and consumed it instantly.

The metasequoia stared wide-eyed at the potion bottle.

With a surge of power coursing through his body, the French fry slashed down fiercely, the sword light piercing straight through the body of the metasequoia.

"Be merciful!"

The lingering sound lingered.

After the sword strike, all was silent.

"French Fries, what have you done!" Orange Tea Man was trembling. She noticed that Metasequoia had suddenly stopped moving. "This is Mint Mom's mother!"

In order to strike hard and calm the cypress down, everyone used their last bit of strength and overexertion skills, and now they are all panting heavily.

Seeing that the metasequoia tree was truly motionless, they nearly fainted from exhaustion.

Don't.

You're a demon, there's no reason for you to be so fragile.

Don't get us into trouble!

What if we accidentally kill the dawn redwood...?

"Mint...Mom?"

The murmur of the dawn redwood brought everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion back to life, instantly relieving the breath that had been choking them.

Thank goodness... It doesn't matter how we die, but you can't die!
"Mint Mom?"

Suddenly, the cypress covered her head, turned around, and stared blankly at everyone.

Her body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, and the purple light in her eyes flashed brightly and dimmed intermittently, as if someone were frantically pressing the power button.

The thick mist that had already spread outside her body seemed to be drawn back by the dawn redwood, trying to penetrate into her body. But halfway there, the dawn redwood suddenly clutched her stomach, bent over, and began to vomit violently.

I vomited up all the mushroom rice I had just eaten, which was still undigested.

"You...don't even think about escaping!"

The dawn redwood gritted its teeth, its eyes bloodshot, and its voice was like metal striking iron, resounding and powerful.

"Hehehe, those are the children you care about most. Are you sure you want to believe what they say?"

“If you show this side of yourself to outsiders, your church, the children you care for, and all your perseverance will vanish.”

"Trust me... kill them."

It was the same voice of the dawn redwood tree, but this time, only cunning and arrogance remained in his words.

"All the wisdom you possess belongs to me..."

"You are nothing but an empty, illusory fake."

"No matter how much you try to seduce me, my answer is the same as it was 70 years ago... My body is your prison."

"Now, give me back all the wisdom you've been feigning, and get back to your corner!"

A bloodcurdling scream, inhuman and agonizing, echoed through the night sky.

The dawn redwood knelt down with a thud, coughing violently.

Like a drowning person struggling to climb ashore, completely exhausted.

She gasped for breath as she cautiously approached the boundary between reality and illusion.

After a long while, she pointed to the mountain stream not far away. Jiang Heyi immediately understood, quickly fetched a bowl of water, and fed it to the metasequoia tree.

After resting for a while, the exhausted metasequoia finally regained its ability to speak.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you all."

"Please don't tell...Mint, okay?"

Shuishan gripped Jiang Heyi's hand tightly. Where did someone who had just exhausted get such strength?

Her eyes were full of urgency, and seeing the crowd stunned and silent, she pleaded again urgently.

Tetraprotozoa thought of his mother.

She was on a business trip when she was hospitalized.

That's exactly what she instructed those around her to do, keeping it a secret from herself.

"We won't say, we absolutely won't say."

After a while, the metasequoia regained her mobility. She sat on a large rock, looking at the boundary between reality and illusion, which filled her with doubt, and revealed the gentle look she had when they first met.

"I know you have many questions, but let me ask first," said Metasequoia with a slight smile. "Mint, what exactly happened?"

Having roughly guessed what had happened to the water cypress, this time the boundary between reality and illusion dared not lie and told the whole story of what the mint had experienced over the past two years.

"Mint Mom, please don't blame us," Jiang Heyi murmured to herself.

He deliberately dropped out of school, stubbornly earning money outside, peddling potions and dealing with all sorts of people...

Upon hearing about Bohe's difficult experiences, Shuishan felt a lump in her throat, and tears silently streamed down her face.

Even so, when Mint brought gifts home to visit them, she never mentioned it at all.

What an idiot.

"So, how did you become friends with Mint?"

Ah, this...

Their first encounter with Mint was when she sold dangerous, incredibly powerful potions.

The second time, it was purely a case of holding someone at knifepoint and forcing them onto the pirate ship.

Now that we've already been honest, we're going all out here too.

The metasequoia tree was stunned.

Jiang Heyi hurriedly explained, "We all call Bohe 'Mom,' and we treat her very well. We absolutely do not bully her!"

“Yes, yes, no one in the guild dislikes Mint Mom. Our dolls all treat her as the guild master!” Fries chimed in.

"Mint...Mom?" Metasequoia was both amused and exasperated. "You call her Mom, a little one?"

"Pfft..." The jailer's mouth slurred.

The complaints from Mint Mom's mom are really hard to bear.

It took a little time to explain the maternal love of Mint's mother, such as her constant worry about them and her nagging, and how her words are very similar to her own mother's...

The dawn redwood gradually came to understand the wondrous image of mint interacting with the boundary between reality and illusion.

It was the mint she knew, yet it had undergone subtle new changes.

It's like something that changes after encountering the boundary between reality and illusion.

Surprisingly, she's very cute.

Hearing that the boundary between the real and the virtual had secured for Mint the Siren's and the Empire's library for her to study in order to catch up with Renee, and that she would also have to tackle the perilous underground temple in the future, Metasequoia's eyes softened even more, and her heart felt even more apologetic.

After leaving her, she actually encountered a group of people who tolerated and indulged her?
"No one's hurt, right?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The demon's damage came from the mental level, presumably in preparation for invading consciousness; it did not use its ultimate attack.

The methods used by that creature in the Great Snow Mountain are still fresh in my mind.

Gathered around the campfire, Jiang Heyi asked the question that had been nagging at everyone.

"Why the dawn redwood..."

"Don't call me grandma, otherwise, feel free to call me whatever you want." Metasequoia smiled helplessly.

Mint's seniority was inexplicably doubled, something she hadn't anticipated.

What's it like to suddenly have a bunch of grandchildren?

"Okay, so... the demon is inside you?"

The dawn redwood nodded.

"I sealed it away."
