After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

Elusia!

After a moment's thought, the black-haired girl immediately made a decision:

"Yicheng, according to the original plan, you will take Dr. Okali to the various resin hearts to cut off the energy source of the Tree of Ruins."

"Ah."

"Lonnies, you stay behind me from now on and don't run around."

"what?"

"Act quickly, or you will fail."

……

……

After saying that, Elusia grabbed Lonnie's arm and continued running downwards. However, this was the Tree of Ruins' home ground; how could the girls move around as freely as if they were at home?

Before she had run very far, several vines from the Void Tree attacked Lonnies, trying to grab her ankles.

"Huh?"

"Lonnies, summon the Crimson Hammer."

"Ok!"

As she silently chanted the incantation, crimson light flashed on Lonnies' necklace.

A giant hammer appeared in mid-air. Elusia took a step forward and gripped the Crimson Hammer tightly in her hand... The branches that attacked the girls also met with a heavy blow from Elusia.

"You tree branches, don't push your luck!"

Flames are the nemesis of plants.

As Elusia launched her powerful attack, the branch, though not ignited, recoiled as if in pain.

"Lonnies, now's the time."

"Oh!"

Taking advantage of the opening created by Elusia, Lonnies followed closely behind.

Although I don't know where I'm going, and I don't know what I'm planning to do.

But this scene reminded Lonnies of her first encounter with Elusia... Back then, it was also underground, and the surroundings were shaking violently, with the risk of being collapsed and buried at any moment.

Back then, I hardly ever moved.

However, she is no longer the weak and submissive girl she used to be.

Lonnies has learned a lot, and her studies at Seiche Academy have helped her grow even more.

"Shield magic, activate!"

Although the shield magic used by Lonnies was only in its most basic form, manifesting as merely a force field that could slow down the attack speed of the vines.

However, this very magic also helped Elusia relieve a lot of pressure. The black-haired girl was no longer facing the boundless monsters alone, but had a solid support behind her.

"Lonnies...?"

"Elusia, how are you!"

Lornes held her head high, as proud as a warrior.

However… Elusia simply smiled faintly and said indifferently:

"It's barely passable, you're nowhere near as good as me."

"Waaah..."

"But as a partner, she's certainly qualified."

"what?!"

"Keep going, we're almost at the Green Temple. Whether we can control this situation depends on your skills."

"The Temple of the Green Fields..."

Lonnie's heart skipped a beat. And at the very end of the barrier created by the tree branches...

A huge, emerald-green door came into view.

"It really is the Green Field Temple!"

Although at first, I was a little surprised that the Green Temple was located in such a godforsaken place.

But Lonnie quickly came to terms with it.

Upon closer reflection, although I had never been to the Temple of Bright Ashes, the Temple of Flame Abyss and the Temple of Clear Brilliance were in completely opposite places.

Yan Yuan is in the snow-capped mountains, while Cheng Che is underground.

and so……

"Elcia, shall we now obtain the power of the green field?"

"Hmph, we may want it, but we're not the only ones with the same idea."

"what?"

"Get ready, that guy's coming."

Before Elusia had even finished speaking, the atmosphere around them changed dramatically.

The originally tangled branches suddenly intertwined in an unusual way, and even the bright red flowers melted, gradually transforming into the shape of tendons.

Before long, a tree-man appeared.

Its legs, arms, and body are all made of tree branches. Although it looks ferocious, you can vaguely tell from its face that it is Dr. Marun.

He did not die, but instead, through this new body, excitedly shouted:

"Haha, I was right. I am now one with the Tree of Ruins."

"what?"

Lonnie was startled by what she saw, while Dr. Marun stepped forward without hesitation and summoned vines to attack.

"Die! The power of the Green Temple is mine. None of you can stop my plans, none of you can stop the revival of nature!"

"Huh?!"

Although Lonnies still wanted to use shield magic to resist, the speed of the vines was now completely different from before.

Like a bolt of lightning, Lonnie's legs were instantly bound.

The vines were deeply embedded in the white silk, wrapping around her ankles in circles.

Struggling is useless, and resistance is futile.

On the contrary, these vines were covered with barbs, like the tendrils of a rose... If it weren't for the excellent protective ability of Lonely's white silk, the silver-haired girl would have cried out in pain.

However, the current situation is not optimistic. Lonnies felt itchy in her legs and hands, as if she were being touched by a dozen people at the same time.

For the first time, Elusia's Crimson Warhammer encountered an obstacle.

Under Marun's command, the branches were no longer afraid of the flames, but seemed to be blessed by the darkness, putting Elusia in a stalemate.

"Dr. Marun... I never imagined that you would sell yourself to the Demon Lord of Tricks in order to gain power?"

"What do you know? Power is essential to fulfilling my long-cherished wish! My relationship with the Demon Lord is merely one of cooperation... Once I obtain the power of the Green Fields, I can transform the boundless land into a brand new world!!!"

"Sigh, have you been brainwashed to this extent? How pathetic... Calling you a lapdog is an insult to dogs."

Elusia gave a cold snort, and that disdainful attitude enraged Marun.

"What do you know, you bastard? Since you dare to stand in my way, then I'll turn you into nourishment too."

"Oh?"

"Wilderness Vines, strangle!"

Countless branches stretched out menacingly, seemingly about to crush Lonnies into pieces right in front of Elusia.

Chapter 44 Elusia's Flame

-------------------

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yicheng and Dr. Okali are doing their best to destroy the resin heart.

The unconscious researchers were freed, but the resin heart wasn't just in one place... Although the two of them moved quickly enough, Dr. Okali still couldn't dodge in time and was hit in both legs by a falling rock.

It's sizzling!

Although there was no fracture, bright red blood still flowed out.

"Waaah..."

"Dr. Okali?"

"Yicheng, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, go and save the other researchers first."

“But Dr. Okali, you are also a researcher.”

Yi Cheng's single sentence stunned Dr. Okali.

"Uh……"

"In my opinion, your condition is quite dangerous. Let me take you aside to have your wound bandaged first. It will be more efficient if there are two of us together."

……

……

While bandaging Dr. Okali, Izumi noticed that her face was very serious.
