Chapter 626 Black Tree
In the city of Sāraten, the eight of them went to rent a room, renting two rooms for men and one for women. They all gathered in the men's room. Nesca was the one who called them together. "Then, rest here for the night. Whoever wants to go see something, feel free to do so." Everyone dispersed. Eden was walking around looking at cherry blossoms. He saw people walking around holding pink leaves. But there was something interesting about Eden. In the middle of the city of Sāraten, there was a very prominent tower. Eden was walking alone. If he had walked with Visa or someone else, everyone would have thought he was suspicious because Eden had run away halfway. Both of them forgave him, so it was strange. "This is the most interesting part of this city. That city that wears masks, before they even started exploring, they already had problems. This city will explore every nook and cranny."
Eden was walking around. Time passed. Eden arrived at the center of the city with a tower. Eden looked up at the sky. "So tall?" At the entrance of the tower, there was a knight in pink armor standing guard. Eden approached the knight with a friendly face. "Excuse me, what is this place? I saw it prominently since I entered the city? The knight pointed to a sign on the side of the wall, indicating that if you have eyes, you can read it yourself. Eden looked at the sign. «You mean if you have eyes, you can read it yourself? I'd really like to slap you. Wanlang, put up a big sign. Let me see. It's built so grandly, so there must be something interesting.»
Eden started reading. «This is the Sakura Tower. Those who want to take the test can enter. The method of taking the test is to enter by walking up a staircase. Pink leaves will float down. As long as you can avoid the many pink cherry blossoms, you will pass the test. There is no reward?» «There is no reward, so why bother posting the test? Anyway, it's free. Let me go and take a look upstairs. At least I will know what it looks like from above. Looking into the city from above.» Eden took a step forward, but the knight pulled out his sword to block him before he could enter. «What's this now? I'm getting irritated. Lord Eden has a limit. Be careful?»
"What else?" "The entrance fee is one gold coin." Eden took out the money and paid. The knight opened the way for Eden to walk in. Eden walked in through an ancient door that had to be opened. Eden opened it and saw an old woman sitting inside with a table. Eden looked up and saw the stairs that had to be climbed. "Beautiful?" Inside his eyes, he saw a few cherry blossom leaves floating down. Pink light shone down into the tower, creating a beautiful pink color. Just seeing it once made him feel satisfied. Eden walked up to the old woman. "I'm here to take the test." "Sure." The old woman extended a hand with a red cherry blossom on it, acting like a bracelet.
Eden put the red bracelet on. "You have ten seconds after putting it on. Every pink leaf has to be dodged, and any pink leaf that lands on the ground will be brown, meaning it can be stepped on. You have to dodge and you can't use magic power. Okay, let's start. Eden started walking up the stairs. The pink leaves couldn't touch Eden. Eden began to walk up for a long time. «Dodging is not a problem, but walking up. Did you set a magic trap on the path or something? Why did it take so long? Looking up, there was no sign of reaching the destination. No wonder anyone would dare to walk up. Turning back would be a waste of time. If there was nothing interesting, I would have to use other people's blood as sweat instead.»
After a while, Eden walked to the ceiling. There was a door in front of him. The pink cherry blossoms could not touch Eden. Eden opened the door and saw the sky creating a pattern of cherry trees that had branches. Eden walked up and stood near the mirror.The circle looked down and saw many flowers on the street. Eden saw one thing that stood out very much. "Beautiful enough to pass the test." The outline looked like a pattern of a street with cherry blossom branches stretching all over the city, with pink trees representing the pink leaves. "Forget it, wait here for a while. Going down is tiring again. Let me enjoy the atmosphere a bit." Eden lay down.
On the other side, a man was wearing a cloak. "Time for bloodshed." The cloaked man walked into the alley of Sateren City. The man had been walking for a long time. He circled the alley and saw a person standing in front of him wearing a cloak. "What do you say? Is it real?" "Of course." The cloaked man leaning against the wall handed him something. It was like a pitch-black tree. The man in front of him took it in confusion. "What is this?" "No need to be confused. This is a world tree. Just swallow it. The enormous energy will grant you power. Right now, our city lord has lured it away. There are only two level seven guarding the city."
"But will it work? Just you and me? "Of course, who do you think we are? As long as we're not level eight, this city will be destroyed. Let's wipe out the people in this city. Let's dye this interesting city red and let the whole empire know that they're dissatisfied with us." "Go die." The mysterious man swallowed the black tree whole. The man leaning against the wall looked on. The man in front of him, whose magical energy was clashing, hissed. Branches stabbed out from inside his body and pierced through the man's eyes. Boom! Black branches stabbed through the man's body without stopping. The surrounding area exploded. Boom! The city was blown away. The mysterious man's body disappeared, replaced by a black tree with pitch-black leaves, appearing for people to see. The surrounding people looked on curiously, wondering who planted the black tree here. The branches and trees stabbed back and forth. The people who liked to meddle in other people's business were stabbed by the black thorns extending from the branches. The surrounding people screamed. "Aaaaaahhhh...!!" "Run away, run away!!" "There's a demon killing people." "What is this thing!!" Black branches flew back and forth, stabbing into the flesh of the humans. The humans stabbed by the branches seemed to have been drained of all their blood, turning into malnourished corpses.
The black tree sucked the flesh and blood of the people at high speed while expanding its body at high speed. One of the branches shot towards the mysterious man. Whoosh. The mysterious man leaned away. The mysterious man pulled out something. It was like a piece of red paper. The mysterious man rushed towards the black tree. Whoosh. Boom. The mysterious man ran up to the black tree and threw the red paper into the black tree. The red paper began to be swallowed by the black tree. The red paper disappeared, clearly revealing the red veins of the tree. The red lines expanded all over the black tree. In the middle of the black tree, a red eye appeared. A red eye with blood flowing stared at the mysterious man.
