Chapter 522 Part 3: Swamp Mission
Swamp:
Henry Barlow turned the low-level monsters into ashes. He was holding himself from wasting the mana. But as he got closer to the edge of the swamp waters. He made a counterattack.
Then after taking a glance at the surroundings, he continues to walk forward. After a few steps of walking, he finally got a clear view of the swamp water.
The entire swamp was covered with thick miasma. It's hard to see through clearly. On top of it, miasmic breath is also making him uncomfortable.
After glancing around, he muttered to himself, "Where is she?" He has not seen the silhouette of Carolina Slate.
This swamp water is the main area. She must have entered the swamp water. He recalls the content of the mission in his mind.
"Don't tell me she entered the waters to clear out the monsters," Henry said in his heart.
To confirm that, he has to enter the swamp as well. A gloomy glint flashes in his eyes. Entering swamps would lead to fighting. He doesn't want to waste mana before meeting her.
But the situation has forced him to make a decision. He can't sit here and wait for her to complete the mission. What if she escapes? Then his entire effort would be wasted.
"Let's enter, I'll see where the b! tch escapes," Henry said to himself.
But as he takes steps forward to enter. He didn't find any abnormalities. When he went a little deeper, he sensed the movements in the swamp waters.
Swoosh~
A thick thorny root shot from the water at breakneck speed.
Henry Barlow spotted the threat and quickly summoned the weapon to counterattack.
A flame sword materializes in front of him. When the roots got closer. He cast the attack spell.
The next moment, the flames released from the sword. In a blink of an eye, the flames quickly covered roots and turned them to ashes.
Argh~
A muffled sound came from the swamp waters.
Right after, two petal flower monsters made an appearance above the surface.
Seeing that a hint of disdain flashes in his eyes. The next moment, he directed the flame sword at the monster.
Swoosh~
Another flame shot at the flower monster's body. The speed was so fast that it hit the target in the blink of an eye.
Argh~
The monster lets out a muffin grunt before its body is completely smoked.
"3rd order monster," Henry muttered. He feels like he is assisting Carolina in her missions.
Then he continues to enter further.
Meanwhile,
Argh~
Carolina encountered a 4th order plant monster finally. Her thorny vines have completely tied up the plant monster's body.
She has been waiting for this moment.
The next moment, she cast the magic spell. Her thorny vines start to suck the monster.
Not only the vitality but the plant monster's essence are being absorbed by her vines.
In the blink of an eye, the plant body turned into a dried corpse. There was no vitality left in the body.
After killing the monster, she retracted her thoughts. The mission would be successful when she clears more higher-order monsters.
Time passed,
Carolina went slightly deeper. The concentration miasmic was dense here. But she managed to come this far.
She was yet to find out the causes of the increase in the monster population. Which drove her to enter even deeper into the swamp waters.
After a few minutes of further walking in the swamp water. She found the depth had slightly increased. The water now completely covered her lower legs.
This would hinder her movements. Especially during the fight she can't move faster.
When she is looking forward to encountering the monster. She finally spotted something through a dense miasmic frog.
"What is that?" A hint of surprise flashes in her eyes. She saw something strange.
The next moment she increases her pace to walk forward.
Result~
Suddenly, she felt something approaching her underwater. She didn't get flustered.
She released the thorny vines from her palms. And quickly surrounded herself with the thorny vines.
Swoosh~
The next moment, many thickened roots attacked her from all sides. The attack speed was so fast that it was similar to the level-5 wizard.
Boom~
The roots land a blow to her thorny vines. One after another, the thorny vines get destroyed. But Carolina quickly multiplied the vines through magic.
"5th order monster," She said in her heart.
Carolina thinks she has reached the final part of the mission. As long as she removes the 5th-order monster.
The 4th order monsters would flee. There would be more organized attacks. Fittest of survival also exists among the monsters.
Without the higher-order monsters. The other monsters would fight among themselves and kill each other.
Naturally, the population of the monsters in the swamp waters would be controlled. After figuring it out, she decides to counterattack.
Quickly one of her vines entangles the roots. She then uses her magic spell to suck away the vitality. No matter how strong the monster is.
It can't stay silent and watch the loss of vitality.
One by one her vines tightened the roots and began to suck the vitality. The power of the 5th order monster is strong and she is a level-5 wizard herself.
As time passed, the roots stopped struggling as they continued to weaken.
A quick gleam flashes in her eyes. Because she saw no reaction from the plant body.
"What is going on?" Carolina asked herself. Because she feels something is not right. At this point, the main body should have attacked her.
But she is getting no response. Shortly after, the roots ended up drying as there was nothing to absorb any more. She retracted her vines and cautiously resumed her walking.
A few minutes later,
The thick fog recedes a little and she was able to witness what was happening inside.
Carolina was shocked to the core. In front of her, there is a dome-like structure. The parts of the domes are plant monsters.
Vines and roots entangled with each other. But there was no conflict. She spotted the plant bodies among the roots and vines.
