Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 738 Spy Within a Spy

Xia's face turned pale, but his mouth kept opening and closing in response.

"Yes, it's a wishing candle."

He clenched his teeth and looked helpless as soon as he finished answering.

Char then accelerated toward Bestana.

Bestana also released a large number of roots at Char, suddenly no longer worried about the tree seed inside Char's body, and prepared to use force to directly suppress Char.

"Now that the wishing candles have appeared, I don't need to worry about the tree heart anymore!"

Bestana suddenly stopped suppressing her emotions, and her remaining human face began to twist like a demon.

As Char approached Bestana, he tried to dodge the roots attacking from in front and behind him. When he couldn't avoid them, he used the power of the tree heart to move the roots that touched him away.

Despite the help of the tree's heart, Char still suffered several wounds due to his slow reaction time.

The skin around the wound became rough and brown, like tree bark.

But at this point, Char had no time to treat the wounds and the contamination on them.

"Damn it, I was going to use the wishing candles at this time, but I have to use them on that big-bearded guy now."

Without any trump cards left, Char could only rely on his perseverance and keen observation to dodge the roots that were stabbing at him and painstakingly approach Bestana.

But just as Char was about to touch Bestana, he was pierced through the thigh and lower abdomen by two roots that attacked from the left and right respectively, and could no longer move forward.

Xia was helpless. He could feel the roots piercing his lower abdomen searching for the seed within his soul. If the other party took the seed, he would have no ability to resist anymore.

Bestana's demeanor just now clearly indicated that she no longer cared much about the integrity of the tree species.

She insisted on taking the tree seed out, even at the risk of damage, probably so that she could take away his wishing candle after Xia lost the tree seed's protection.

Without the protection of the tree, it would be difficult for Char to resist Bestana's manipulation when she was on guard.

As a puppet, he will inevitably hand over the wishing candles uncontrollably.

"Absolutely not!" Xia's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "The wishing candle is my last hope! No one can take it away from me!"

Char took one last look at the amber tooth in his hand. "Still can't reach her... but at this distance, it should work. Never mind, if I don't use it now, I'll miss my chance!"

Char crushed the gray substance covering the white teeth with a single squeeze, as easily as peeling off a peanut skin.

Before he could crush the white fangs, Char had no time to think about what kind of weapon Thor had given him.

After he crushed the outer layer of the white fangs, he completely lost the ability to think.

Therefore, he failed to see the expression on Bestana's face, which had been filled with madness, suddenly turned one of terror and even hysteria after she saw the white fangs and sensed their presence.

"Anchor, anchor point!!"

Bestana suddenly stepped back.

This was also her first time moving within the Tree Heart Space.

Hundreds of roots attached to her body were torn off during the movement.

The intense pain felt as if someone had reached into her body and torn her bones apart.

Even while enduring this terrible pain, Bestana did not stop retreating.

At that moment, she had forgotten about making a wishing candle and only wanted to run away.

Bestana was forced to stop only when she retreated to the edge of the tree's core space.

But this pause also calmed her almost chaotic mind a little.

She then noticed that the anchor point that had terrified her so much that her heart almost stopped had not experienced the terrible Kuroshio pollution.

At least she hasn't turned into a sculpture yet, and no flowers are growing from the various pores of her body.

"The sealed anchor point?"

Her voice still carried the weakness of someone who had survived a disaster.

The current Bestana is not a true Tier 3, so she fears the Black Tide pollution even more than she did in life.

However, because she didn't directly touch the tooth, although she could feel the terrifying aura emanating from it, she didn't lose her senses like Char, who directly touched the anchor point.

"Damn it!" Bestana's extreme fear turned into extreme anger.

She suddenly swung her arm, which had transformed into roots, and pierced several roots into Xia's body, almost turning him into a beehive.

Then she pulled again, tearing a large hole in Xia's stomach.

A brown seed, entwined by roots, was carefully brought out of Char's belly.

Bestana carefully avoided the teeth in Char's hand, preparing to retrieve the tree seed first.

Only by retrieving the tree seed will she have enough power to move Xia and that damned anchor in his hand out of the tree core space.

Only then did she dare to breathe a sigh of relief and slowly deal with Xia.

But just as Bestana was about to reabsorb the tree seed into her body, another unexpected event occurred!

Suddenly, a silver shadow rushed to the tree seed with lightning speed and grabbed the seed that was entangled by two roots.

Bestana never expected that there would be a reckless spirit daring to steal things from her right in front of her.

Instantly, more roots surged toward the silver figure, determined to turn the thief into a pile of mud!

Although the silver figure was fast, it had to stop in place to seize the tree seeds.

Just as the numerous roots were about to destroy the silver shadow, an even smaller silver shadow emerged from its body.

This time, what appeared was a silver, metallic-looking butterfly.

With a flap of its wings, seemingly slow, the butterfly entered Bestana's brow in an instant.

Bestana, who was already exhausted, immediately closed her eyes and lowered her head as if she were asleep.

And those roots that were about to pierce the silver shadow all stopped, came to a halt.

【quick!】

Penny's voice echoed in Herman's mind.

【knew!】

Herman, dressed in silver, quickly took the opportunity to retrieve the tree seed from the still roots.

The moment he received the tree seed, the surrounding roots suddenly began to move again.

Bestana woke up in an instant.

At the same time, the silver Nightmare Butterfly was also shaken out of its body.

Seeing this, Herman said nothing and directly merged with the tree heart.

"I'm going to... kill you all!!!"

Bestana felt she had been played, and all her previous emotions turned into boundless rage.

With her roar, countless roots, as dense as a torrential rain, simultaneously pierced Herman and Penny.

However, Herman, who obtained the tree heart, gained the ability to move within the tree heart space, just like Char had before him.

His figure vanished instantly, and like Xia Ya, he immediately hid.

Penny, however, did not have the ability to teleport away.

But she wasn't afraid at all, and even mocked Bestana.

"Hmph, your master tried to make a good deal with you, but you wanted to kill him. Serves you right for being the last one left here, a pile of mush!"

Sharp roots pierced the Nightmare Butterfly in rows, but after the whooshing sound of the roots subsided, the Nightmare Butterfly, which had been hovering in the air, vanished without a trace.

It was as if it had also obtained the tree seed and gained the ability to teleport within the tree's core space.

But there was only one tree species. How did it leave?

Bestana showed a look of confusion and shock for the first time. Could it be that the Upside-Down Tree had been taken over by someone else?

Otherwise, how could so many incomprehensible things have happened in just a few seconds?

A bewildered and panicked Bestana immediately turned to look for Char, who had lost consciousness due to the contamination of the anchor point.

however!

To her despair, she discovered that Char wasn't there either!

In the pitch-black space, only a white tooth remained, silently suspended.

"No!!!!!"

Bestana nearly went mad.

Although the anchor point is sealed, the slowly emanating pollution from it can still, over time, turn the weakened Bestana into... a puddle of mud!

"...Sacrifice..." In despair, Bestana could only think of this as the only solution.

She will sacrifice the souls of everyone in the inner and outer cities of Archista and the surrounding towns to the Upside-Down Tree, and use the lives of everyone who treads on this land to nourish herself!

"ah!!!!"

A sharp whistling sound.

Invisible waves propagate through the earth.

Brown branches, resembling those of centuries-old trees, sprouted from the ground and then burst open, releasing large amounts of black smoke and dust, carrying the scent of grass, from the inner city to the outer city, and finally even reaching the surrounding towns.

A huge and continuous explosion resounded throughout the heavens and the earth!

Finally, the update schedule has returned to normal. I wonder how long it will last.
