Chapter 512 - Calling The Kettle Black

Chapter 512 - Calling The Kettle Black

The Elder Tree shook wildly, causing everyone on the Elder Tree's crown to lose their balance while some stumbled and dropped the goods they carried.

Some even fell from the treetop and plunge towards the surface. However, the royal guards and high elves were able to grow wings and fly before they hit the ground, thanks to their earlier training.

While the outside was pondering the cause of the Elder Tree's fury, Leon and Duna continued to escape from the strong mutant.

After exiting the Heart of Spring Chamber, they rushed up the next flight of vine staircase that would take them back to the top of the Elder Tree's crown.

However, the strong mutant was no longer their only concern as the Elder Tree targeted Duna with its green leaves that came pouring down from above.

Leon tried his best to placate the Guardian Spirit, but it would not listen to him. It was hell-bent on destroying Duna for the damages she caused.

The Heart of Spring Chamber might have been located under the Elder Tree, but it was still a part of it—just like its tree roots, but more important.

Its fury was understandable.

"Duna, hide inside my Worldspace! The Guardian Spirit wants to kill you and won't listen to me!" Leon quickly urged.

"But what about you?" Duna was surprised by Leon's suggestion before adding, "We still have that mutant on our tail!"

"I'll figure something out on my own!" Leon said with a pondering frown before waving his hand at Duna.

Before she could react, Duna was quickly sucked into his Worldspace before Leon took off from the vine staircase and flew up directly.

Duna's disappearance made the Guardian Spirit immediately redirected its sharp green leaves to curve around Leon, avoiding contact with his body.

It was only after Duna and did not want to harm Leon. He was reassured by this fact as he heaved a sigh of relief before he continued to shoot to the top.

Boom!

The ground below cracked as the strong mutant shot in pursuit of Leon with a powerful jump.

However, the Elder Tree's flurry of sharp green leaves did not try to avoid the strong mutant. Thus, the strong mutant lacerated itself while breaking through the downpour of thousands of leaves.

Leon's eyes flickered with an idea while gripping his Tier 4 Bone Spear firmly in preparation for receiving the strong mutant's blow.

Bang!

In a short instance, the distance between them was closed before the strong mutant slammed into Leon's defending bone spear!

The force of 500-thousand jin immediately catapulted Leon upwards with significant momentum as the distance between them increased once more!

At the same time, Leon coughed out another mouthful of blood from having his organs shaken from the impact!

Even his bone creaked, threatening to fracture from the impact! However, if his muscles had not been tensed, it definitely would have!

The force of 500-thousand jin seems to be the limit of the strong mutant's strength!

It could be considered a mid-level Rank 1 Transcendent, the equivalence of a Mid-rank Battle Master in strength.

Leon quickly swallowed a Tier 3 All-Purpose Recovery Pill before his eyes narrowed on the strong mutant some distance below him.

After the strong mid-level Rank 1 Transcendent mutant broke through the cluster of sharp leaves with brute force, its entire layer of flesh was shredded away!

At that moment, nothing else could be seen except the exoskeleton-like bone shell hidden underneath its flesh!

"That mutant is the one who wishes to harm you! Direct your anger at that thing instead!" Leon spoke to the Guardian Spirit, helping Duna pin the blame on the mutant.

His body quickly reached the top and flew out of the courtyard.

"Arf, arf!"

Silver quickly barked excitedly while wagging its tails after picking up Leon's scent in the vicinity, causing Princess Faelyn and Princess Thessalia to turn and look from outside the palace.

"Leon!"

"Stay back!"

Leon quickly warned after Faelyn called out to him.

Shortly after, he continued to convince the Guardian Spirit, "If that thing did not try to attack us, you would not have been hurt in the process! It's all that thing's fault! It is to blame for the damage you incurred!"

The Guardian Spirit went silent and began to ruminate over his words as it recalled the events happening inside Heart of Spring Chamber.

This seems to be the case, not to mention the mutant had also hurt it, albeit slightly after leaving behind footprints in its jump.

"Look, it's trying to kill me. I won't be able to give you any more spirit stones if I die!" Leon ultimately said.

These last words were the real nail in the coffin.

The Guardian Spirit was immediately riled up like a child that just got its candy stolen and immediately sprung into action, directing all its attacks at the mutant as it just climbed out of the center.

"Scree?"

The mutant gazed up before a mountain of leaves dropped down and bombarded it, flushing it out from the treetop before numerous branches and tree roots assaulted it in a flurry of attacks!

B-B-B-B-Bam!

Countless strikes landed in quick succession without the mutant being able to resist!

Undoubtedly, the Elder Tree was the strongest being in the area who can crush the mid-level Rank 1 Transcendent mutant without much effort.

If Leon used his trump cards, he could also kill the mutant. But why would he do that when he can incite the Guardian Spirit to help him?

He quickly caught up to the edge of the treetop and watched the Elder Tree pulverized the mutant with heavy strikes that sounded like sonic booms in midair.

Shortly after, a mashed-up ball of flesh and powdered bones fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a soft thud.

The Elder Tree's attack had transformed it into mush.

Leon lip's twitched at the sight of the motionless remains of the mutant. Surely, such an attack would have killed it.

"What's going on, Leon? What was that thing—" Faelyn inquired after making her way over before she suddenly paused. "You're hurt."

She quickly used her sleeve to wipe the trace of blood on the corners of his lips carefully after discovering while Leon enjoyed her tender care.

"We ran into some trouble down below, but it's been taken care of now…" He replied to her question shortly after.
