Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System! - Chapter 383 Discovering the truth!

Delilah didn’t know he had saved her life again by stopping her from entering the middle entrance. She would have been reduced to ashes if she had.

“Are you still not done?”

She was clueless!

He didn’t let his surprise show on his face as he was afraid that there might be an illusionist in the dark and a grave change in his expression might alarm them.

Illusionists were mages who had awakened an illusion-type spellbook or beasts who could use illusion magic.

He acted like he hadn’t seen the truth and continued on with his investigation.

The mushrooms to his left disappeared with the wind, leaving a barren land that led to a cliff.

Just like the middle path, it was a death trap!

There was no change in the lifeless ash-grey trees. They were to his right. He focused his eyes on them. His X-ray vision was activated. It allowed him to see through things, and he saw that one was a freaking monster disguised as a tree!

“Did you hear what I said?” Delilah seemed pissed. Roy hadn’t been replying to her. She was such a gorgeous woman. No man would be able to resist her charm. Yet here, she was being ignored. “Are you ignoring me?!” she asked as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

He suddenly turned towards her and whispered, “Delilah, duck.”

“Uh, what?”

Delilah looked at him in bewilderment.

Why was he asking her to squat? Did she hear him wrong?

She saw a sword materializing in his hand. It was the Ghost Chaser heavy sword. It was four times wider than her waist, but he held it in one hand like it was a doll.

“Duck!”

He shouted with a grave expression, and she instantly hunched and cursed him in her mind as she saw him swinging his sword toward her. If she were a beat slower, it would have lopped off her head. The sword was brandished horizontally. At the same time, wisps of energy circulated out of his arm and circled down the hilt and surface of the sword, gathering at its tip and concentrating into a dense ball of aura.

“Roar of the sword!”

Screech!

The terrifying sound of nails scratching against the wall came out as a crescent sword qi flew out of the sword and ravaged everything in its path.

Delilah turned around and only saw the physical manifestation of the roar of the sword flying through the air like a bird.

Roy, however, saw a completely different scene.

Hundreds of vines with sharp ends dripping with purple poison that was a breath away from ending Delilah’s life were chopped apart as if nothing by the crescent sword qi that magnified to the size of a boulder before falling on a tree that looked different than the ones around it.

“Gwaghh!”

A painful roar came out of the plain-looking tree. It was plain only in Delilah’s eyes. In Roy’s eyes, it looked like something straight out of a nightmare: an ent.

“How did you know?”

These words were said in a grisly voice and were coming from a tree ahead of them. Delilah raised her eyes and saw what was talking.

It was an anthropomorphic tree with two pale yellow eyes and muscular hands and legs. Its limbs were formed from thick branches and flexible vines curling around each other. It had four digits on each of its hands and three toes on its feet. There was a hollow in the center of its trunk. Inside the hollow were circles of razor-sharp teeth. It was probably its mouth. Its two halves were held together by wooden threads. The two halves were pulled towards one another and merged into one.

It was nine times the height of a man as it towered over them, looking down at them in rage. Its rage physically manifested when thick layers of aura pulsated out of its body and dropped on Delilah and Roy like a downpour.

She stiffened instantly, losing her mobility.

Roy’s feet pressed into the ground as he braced the enemy’s aura pressure. He didn’t budge from his place, nor did he show any conflicted expression on his face. He didn’t feel pained as if a tiny little ant had kicked him.

“Your murderous intent was too strong.” Roy grinned, and a monstrous amount of aura surged out of him. The aura suppression acting on him and Delilah was instantly uplifted.

His aura was like a small mountain. It drifted through the air and fell on the tree monster in an instant. The tree monster couldn’t even react before he was crushed beneath it struggled but was unable to move.

Roy leaped forward as he took out another sword from his subspace.

Now in each of his hands was a double-handed sword.

In one move, he reached above the tree monster and swung his swords downward.

Song of the Night: World Devastating Thundering Dragons!

Two ferocious black dragons emerged from his sword and charged toward the Tree monster like bolts of lightning. Seeing them closing in, an immense sense of dread filled the tree monster.

“Please spare me!” It shouted.

“Too late,” Roy said in response.

“You will regret it. My master will come out of seclusion soon. He will take revenge for him. He will chase you down to the edge of the world!” shouted the tree monster.

Then, the tree monster was struck by the twin black dragons.

Boom! Boom!

It sounded like two explosions had set off as the twin dragons smashed the tree monster into smithereens, wooden splinters bursting outwards, scattering all over the place.

These wooden shards seemed to have a consciousness of their own, but their intelligence was quite primal. They didn’t know how to act dead to avoid calamity, only moving based on instinct. They moved toward one another. A better way to describe it would be they rolled in one direction, intending to join into a single body once again.

If they succeeded, all of his efforts so far would all go to utter waste.
