You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

The two followed the clues given by the succubus for a long time until they arrived at a hillside and looked down at the clearing in the woods below.

There lies a mountain.

Using the light from the sky, Lotte was able to see the giant tree spirit named Sionsto.

The lava golems that Lotte had seen before looked like roadside stones in comparison.

Isolde's gaze swept across the surrounding woodland, confirming that there was no one lying in ambush or any traps.

Am I just overthinking things?

Isolde, who was half-squatting, checked his equipment and handed two health potions to Lotte.

"Lotte, I'll go hunt the monsters by myself later. If you find any natural disasters in Ridria City, just let me know."

“Wait.” Lotte grabbed Isolde, who was about to get up. “Are you sure you can beat it? It could drown you with a single leaf.”

"This is not difficult."

"Aren't there any traps or anything like that? What if other Pokémon can teleport instantly?"

"No creature can teleport that far instantly. I don't know much about elven magic either, and based on my current experience, there are no traps."

Lotte had only witnessed elven magic once before, on the way to Whitestone Town, when he saw a long-range spell streak across the sky and strike Titan.

However, there were no natural disasters within a month's walk of the surrounding area, which Lotte believed was impossible even with long-range magic.

"Isolde, if possible, could you share some of the monsters with me during the fight later?"

"Huh? What do you need a monster for?"

"I also need to practice my skills and gain some practical experience."

Isolde nodded, not seeming to care too much.

Before leaving, she checked Lot's equipment. The necklace was still on him, and the self-destruct ring she had given him in Orlandis was still on his hand.

Isolde wanted the ring back, but then she thought that Lotte might need it more than she did.

"I went."

"be careful."

Isolde stood atop the hill, her cloak billowing in the wind with a whooshing sound.

She leaped lightly from the hilltop, transforming into a swift white light, and hurtled towards Sionsto, who was sleeping in the open space.

A mournful cry pierced the tranquil earth, the sound penetrating the thick night and causing Lot's body to tremble.

Sinstow screamed and waved the branch, angrily jumping up after being woken up, smashing the ground and cracking it.

Isolde didn't rush to retaliate. After dodging the attack, she kicked the tree spirit's roots with her right leg, and a blue magical mark appeared.

She then swung her blade, activating the [Valgard Swordsmanship], and struck the blue mark with incredible speed.

This is a fusion skill of Isolde magic and swordsmanship, which adds magical damage to [Valgard Swordsmanship].

But Isolde's sword failed to pierce the opponent's thick skin.

After trying several more spells, she finally confirmed that the other party did indeed possess some kind of magical immunity.

After realizing that tiny Isolde couldn't do any harm to it, Sinstow let out a human-like laugh.

A human face emerged from its trunk, squinting and staring down at the tiny Isolde below.

Sionsto casually swung a thick tree root, attempting to easily crush Isolde.

But Isolde's probing ended there.

This tree spirit named [Sienstor] finally faced the onslaught of the strongest sword intent from humanity, [Catastrophe].

Its daybreak.

The extreme light unleashed by Isolde's swordsmanship tore through the entire night sky, forcibly dragging the darkness of several miles into daylight.

A strong wind suddenly rose from the ground, breaking trees near her.

Lotte had to hide behind a large tree and cling to the trunk with both hands to avoid being blown away.

The wind was too strong; he couldn't even see Isolde's attack, and could only hear the dryad's one-sided wail.

As he strained to peek out into the wind and open his eyes, he discovered that the enormous tree spirit had been lifted into the air by Isolde.

Lotte couldn't see Isolde's figure clearly, but amidst the sonic booms, he could see the tree spirit's indestructible outer body turn into powder and float into the air.

Sinstow was still struggling, releasing many spores.

The spores landed on the ground and quickly took root and sprouted, growing into many small tree spirits that surrounded Isolde.

But Isolde paid no attention to the group of soldiers. The sword in her hand drew an arc in the night sky, illuminating a faint white light.

The next second, the white light suddenly expanded, and with her as the center, a ring of silver sword energy cut the tidal wave of tree demons in two along the ground.

The ground had been sheared away by Isolde by half a foot, and the entire city of Ridria was awakened by the storm.

Lotte slowly turned her gaze away.

Is Isolde even human?

Isolde did not forget her promise to Loth, and she kicked several dying tree spirits into the sky.

These experience babies, barely clinging to life and utterly powerless to resist, landed precisely at Lotte's feet.

Lotte glanced back at Isolde, then quietly cast a spell, killing the tree spirits on the ground one by one.

These small tree spirits are products of [Sienstor], and their level is not low.

Fireball Lv.3→Lv.4

[Unallocated attribute points: 27]

[Enhancement Lv.2 → Lv.3]

[Unallocated attribute points: 30]

Isolde kept hitting from below, while Lotte slowly brushed from above.

Until Isolde turned around and looked in Loth's direction.

She sensed the presence of magic.

However, this magic was definitely not released by Lotte; it contained an enormous amount of magical power and could only have come from within the city of Ridria.

Isolde's gaze swept across the fields and landed on the distant Tree of Ridria.

The Tree of Ridria has locked onto Isolde.

Chapter 69 Clearing the Fog

The Tree of Ridria opened its eyes, locked onto Isolde, and then slowly closed them again.

The unsettling, immense magical power appeared and then vanished in an instant.

Isolde didn't understand what this meant, but she didn't choose to leave.

If the tree spirit in front of her is bait, then she can eat the bait, figure out what the other party is up to, and then kill them in the next life.

Lotte, standing on the hillside, noticed that Isolde had sped up, as if she had sensed something.

Lotte summoned Mia, trying to sense if there were any enemies nearby.

Komia scanned for several minutes but found no trace of the enemy.

Lotte rubbed its head while observing the surroundings.

"Eek!"

Mia suddenly yelled, jumped in front of Lotte, and bared her teeth at something not far away.

Lotte picked up Mia and hid her behind his back. He squinted and focused his senses, discovering a figure that had appeared out of thin air not far from him.

How could Mia not notice the other person at such close range?

Lotte dispelled the spell to prevent Mia from being discovered. He drew his sword and stared at the approaching figure in the distance.

"Splash."

The leaves rubbed against the man's clothes as he drew closer, his figure gradually becoming clearer.

By the moonlight, Lot saw that the other person was a slender elf with long ears and wearing a monocle.

"You've spotted me?"

The elf, with one hand on his hip, looked at Lot and said casually, "It's not bad that a human can do this much."

The elves spoke the language of humans, and this time Lot understood it completely.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Derek, the [Ridria Scourge]. You can go and inform your master, but I don't think it will be of any use. By the time you get to her, it will already be over."

"why?"

Derek snapped his fingers and looked up. "Look at the sky."

Apart from the bursts of light emanating from Isolde's swordsmanship, everything in the night sky seemed no different from usual.

The sky was filled with twinkling stars, and a shooting star streaked across the horizon; everything was peaceful.
