Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 1185: Tree Of Life (part 2)

Elysia stood in front of a portal with her eyes closed—a deep green aura surrounding her.

The green aura was filled with endless vitality, and just from its presence, the terrain of Earth within hundreds of kilometres began to change.

Lush green trees grew everywhere, and the earth, devastated from continuous battles began to harden and stabilize.

All the surroundings affected by the green aura brimmed with vitality, and the breath of life spread in every direction. As time passed, the green aura around Elysia grew stronger, extending its influence across thousands of kilometres.

The planet, which had been crying out from destruction and constant warfare now seemed to scream in joy.

Zorda, who had just returned after erecting more barriers around other portals was stunned at the sight before him.

“What the hell is this thing…” He muttered, looking at the phantom of an immense tree that suddenly appeared behind Elysia and was growing continuously.

Ten meters… Fifty meters… One hundred meters… Five hundred meters… One thousand meters…

The size of the tree continued to increase, and a wave of life and vitality permeated the earth. The density of mana in the atmosphere rapidly increased and even began to show signs of evolving, ushering in the first drop of World Essence on Earth.

The phantom tree soon reached ten thousand meters in height, its lush branches stretching across the sky as though it were supporting the heavens.

Elysia remained still, not moving a muscle. Once the tree reached twenty thousand meters in height, the green aura around her started to fade.

Surprisingly, even though the green aura around her began to dissipate, the tree phantom behind her showed no signs of disappearing.

It continued to transform the earth as its roots penetrated deep into the ground, spreading throughout the entire planet. The roots strengthened the earth, and within a few minutes, the ground became strong enough to withstand battles between rank-one core evolvers.

As the mana density increased and slowly evolved into World Essence, Earth’s space barrier grew more powerful, ensuring the planet would not be easily destroyed in a high-level battle.

“This tree… It’s like it’s evolving the entire planet to the next stage,” Zorda said in disbelief, watching the transformation unfold.

“What is this tree… And how did this psycho woman bring it here?” He muttered, casting a baffled glance at Elysia.

Ten minutes after the phantom of the Tree of Life appeared, the green aura surrounding Elysia had completely vanished.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her previous purple eyes now glowed in a deep green colour, releasing an intense breath of life instead of her former deathly energy.

“Not enough… Even though this planet is small, and the phantom of the Tree of Life can evolve its life force, it will still take a long time before it reaches the point where it can withstand battles between high-level core evolvers,” Elysia murmured to herself, her eyes turning towards the portal in front of her.

“Perhaps I can…” She suddenly thought of something and in the next moment, dozens of vine-like branches emerged from the tree phantom and entered the portal.

Through the portal, the vines absorbed a massive amount of World Essence from Utopia and began feeding it into the earth through the tree’s roots, which had already spread across the planet.

“Now it’s good. This method not only solves the problem of those who come through this portal, but it also accelerates the planet’s transformation,” Elysia said, sensing the changes taking place all over the world.

“With enough time, it shouldn’t be a problem for this planet to become strong enough to handle battles between high-level core evolvers, but we still need more people who can help us fight against those coming through the portal.”

Elysia glanced at Zorda, who was standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face and with the commanding presence of a tyrant boss, she shouted.

“What are you standing there for, doing nothing? Go and bring that stupid girl and the other high-level hunters from this planet here. It’s time to increase our forces!”

Zorda snapped back to reality when he heard Elysia’s voice and looked at her in confusion.

“Increase our forces? What do you mean?” he asked.

Elysia didn’t bother explaining and simply waved her hand dismissively.

“I don’t have time to explain. Just bring them here first.”

Hearing Elysia, Zorda hesitated, wanting to ask more, but the psycho undead had already closed her eyes, ignoring him completely.

“Just what is she planning…” He muttered under his breath and disappeared from there.

Elysia stood before the phantom of the Tree of Life, her eyes closed as she observed the changes sweeping across the Earth.

“With the World Essence coming from Utopia, the speed of transformation has increased quite a bit,” She whispered to herself, her gaze shifting to the portal now entwined with the vine-like branches of the tree, which were steadily drawing World Essence from Utopia.

“That woman must have noticed what I just did…” Elysia muttered with a sly smile. “I wonder what kind of face she’s making now.”

As Elysia was deep in her thoughts, Zorda returned with Valery.

“Yo, bitch! I heard you were looking for me,” Valery greeted Elysia with a sneer, glaring at her as if she was ready to pummel her.

Over the past few months, Elysia had thrown her into battles against high-ranking monsters more times than she could count, forcing her to run across the Earth just to save her life each time. If it weren’t for the fear that Elysia might retaliate by tossing her into even more deadly fights, Valery would have already sneaked in while Elysia slept and set off some crackers under her ass to take revenge.

Elysia didn’t care about the way Valery greeted her and turned her attention to Zorda.

“What about the other S-rank hunters?”

“I informed them. They’ll be here soon.”

Elysia nodded before glancing at Valery.

“Come here, bitch!”

“Can you stop calling me bitch, you bitch!” Valery said in a cold voice as she walked towards her.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, bitch,” Elysia said dismissively, waving her hand to signal Valery to sit down under the tree.

Valery rolled her eyes but obeyed, sitting beneath the phantom of the Tree of Life.

“What now?” She asked after sitting down.

A strange smile crept across Elysia’s face once Valery sat down and she waved her hand again.

“Now you get to play with a tentacle monster.”

As the words left her mouth, dozens of vine-like branches descended from the Tree of Life and wrapped tightly around Valery.

“Bitch, what the hell are you doing?” Valery’s eyes widened in disbelief as the vines coiled around her, binding her tightly.

“Don’t resist, honey! It’ll be over soon,” Elysia said nonchalantly and reached out to touch the vines binding Valery.

The moment her fingers made contact with the vines, the vines began to glow intensely, and in the next instant—

“Arghhh!” Valery’s scream of pain echoed across the land.
