Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!-Chapter 304: The World Tree of the Lost Wastes!
After assigning the tasks, everyone quickly rested for six hours and then left together.
As they stepped out of the gate of Pinocchini, a high-speed airship was already waiting by the road.
A sharp and confident female officer stepped forward and invited Logan and his group to take the airship. "Mr. Logan Latio, it’s a pleasure to serve you!"
The officer’s voice was seductive, and she stared straight at Logan’s chest and lower body, her face full of obvious desire.
Nel immediately stepped in front of Logan, warning her. "Hey, you shouldn’t be looking at places you shouldn’t."
The officer saw Nel was on guard, and she laughed. "What? Are you jealous? There’s an eight-meter bed on the airship. I don’t mind sharing with you guys on the way."
She even winked at Logan. "Mr. Logan, this S-level mission is really dangerous. Don’t you want to enjoy yourself before you get there?"
Logan shook his head right away. "Sorry, I have a clean freak habit. I can’t get used to this kind of [bus]."
After saying that, Logan led the girls from [Dawn Blade] past the airship and walked away.
The officer didn’t expect her charm to have no effect on Logan. She shouted, "Logan Latio! Your mission is time-sensitive. Without the airship, are you going to run there by yourself?"
When the group heard the officer’s yelling, they all turned around and looked at her with a mocking expression.
Logan even looked at her like she was a fool, then waved his hand and opened his familiar space.
Suddenly, a pair of wings covered the sky, and the energy it gave off made the officer and the Pinocchini soldiers behind her fall to the ground.
In the air, the Dragon Emperor flapped its wings and let out a thunderous dragon roar toward Logan.
Seeing this, the officer and her soldiers were all shocked.
At that moment, the 36-star marks on the Dragon Emperor’s back appeared clearly, causing the crowd to tremble.
"My god, a 36-star monster!"
"Spit it out! What monster? That’s a familiar!"
"I get it now. The rumors were true. People said Logan was a Hybrid from the Original Race Federation. He must be a familiar tamer from the Original Race."
The officer listened to the soldiers behind her and gritted her teeth.
She hadn’t expected that Logan’s own power was already so terrifying, and he even had a 36-star familiar hidden.
Thinking about that, the officer suddenly felt confident about Logan’s mission.
As the Dragon Emperor flapped its wings and flew away, the pressure on the officer disappeared.
She stood up, waved to the distance where Logan was, and gave a salute. In her heart, she swore: "Logan Latio, I will sleep with you one day!"
About an hour later, the Dragon Emperor had reached the heart of the Lost Wastes.
Logan noticed that the dimensional pressure in the deep part of the Lost Wastes was slowly weakening.
Fischl’s dimensional pressure, which was supposed to be kept at 10%, was now less than 5%.
After realizing this, Nel and Bobbi looked at each other and both saw the concern in each other’s eyes.
They were locals and knew this area very well. This weakening of dimensional pressure meant the environment around them was changing.
"The energy here is strange." Nel said, jumping down from the Dragon Emperor’s back and crouching on the ground. She touched the rock with her finger and rubbed it lightly. "The scent of Original Evolution Essence is affecting the space structure here."
At this moment, Bobbi also jumped down. She looked around the space and nodded, saying: "The deeper we go, the more unstable the space becomes. There could be dimensional rifts at any time. Everyone needs to be careful from now on."
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud explosion echoed from the middle of the canyon.
Then, a red rune flash appeared. The dark rune patterns on the ground moved like living things, crawling across the ground and covering a range of thousands of meters. They gave off an energy that made people feel uneasy.
Suddenly, Logan felt a sudden unease, and his blood seemed to freeze.
But soon, the freezing feeling disappeared, and Logan no longer felt anything unusual.
"Logan, what’s wrong?" Nel immediately came forward, worried.
"Nothing. It must be Black’s formation. They’re trying to suppress my power." Logan said, raising his hand and speaking calmly. "Let me test how much power the Four Symbols Formation can still have under such pressure."
He stepped into the area covered by the red runes first.
Natalia, Lucia, and Sophia followed right behind him.
The four of them stood at the four corners, and the basic shape of the Four Symbols Formation formed instantly.
A strong pressure spread out, fighting against the red rune array.
Under the pressure from the four of them, the red runes on the ground suddenly lit up.
A powerful suppressing force came like a tide, limiting the pressure the four of them had released to a radius of five hundred meters.
Logan looked at Natalia and the others, giving them a hard look and saying, "Break through!"
As he spoke, the three girls simultaneously unleashed their strongest mental power, forcing their way through the red runes.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the red runes suddenly dimmed by half.
The suppressive power dropped by thirty percent, and the previously frozen air started to move again.
At this moment, Logan stood in the center of the formation and slowly closed his eyes.
After the recent fusion, Logan had completely merged with the mysterious baby.
Faced with the red rune energy in front of him, a deep, instinctive desire suddenly rose from his heart.
Then, he opened his mouth wide, and the red rune energy in front of him was instantly sucked into his body.
This scene shocked the girls.
They saw Logan continuously absorbing the surrounding energy, and his star marks behind him suddenly increased from 42 to 43.
As Logan kept eating the energy, the suppressive power of the red runes on the group dropped sharply.
When Logan opened his eyes again, the girls could no longer feel the pressure from the red runes at all.
Logan had tasted the benefit, so he wasn’t satisfied with the weak energy in front of him.
He quickly called out his horned hawk, Red Feather, and flew directly into the core area of the rune array.
Natalia and the others followed closely, watching as Logan flew forward while absorbing rune energy along the way.
As a result of his wild and reckless absorption, the rune array that had been suppressing them suddenly became full of holes.
When Logan arrived at the center of the rune array, the Executioners Black had sent hadn’t even reacted yet.
Then, Logan opened his mouth wide again. The red runes that covered a thousand meters disappeared like burnt ash in the air.
Behind him, Natalia and the others felt the pressure completely disappear. The view in the middle of the canyon became clear again.
"This guy is even human?" The leader of the Executioners looked shocked, his face full of disbelief and fear. "Retreat!"
As soon as he spoke, the Executioners turned and ran, their bodies splitting into five afterimages and fleeing in different directions.
But they were too slow for Sophia, who had been waiting for them.
"Destruction Eye!"
Sophia, who had already locked on to the Executioners, instantly released her skill and blew one of them apart instantly.
At the same time, Fischl summoned a large number of shadow crows, surrounding the remaining Executioners.
Although Fischl hadn’t reached the Saint stage and couldn’t deal real damage, the shadow crows successfully blocked the Executioners’ escape.
At this moment, Natalia’s domain expanded, and Lucia was thrown in front of a few Executioners, successfully holding them back.
These Executioners couldn’t run away and couldn’t fight back. They had to circle around Lucia while being quickly killed by Sophia and Natalia’s surprise attacks.
The battle lasted less than a minute.
Logan looked at the result and nodded in satisfaction.
At that moment, his encrypted communicator on his wrist started to shake violently. Jessica’s urgent call came through.
"Logan! Someone broke through the outer defense of the thirteenth district!"
"They found the weak point in the three hidden environments we set up. They’re now attacking the second layer of the mirage illusion."
In the background of the call, there was a loud explosion. Jessica’s voice became more and more anxious.
"I’m trying to hold them back. Hiyua is safe for now, but not for long!"
"There are two 34-star Saints leading them. I can only hold on for 20 more minutes."
At this, Logan’s eyes turned cold. "20 minutes is enough."
After saying that, Logan hung up the call and turned to [Dawn Blade], giving the order: "Speed up."
"We can only truly make Hiyua safe once we finish off Black’s main forces."
"We must end this battle completely within fifteen minutes."
Then, Logan turned to Fischl and said: "You go back to support them."
Fischl heard this and disappeared into the void, along with the crows around her.
Logan, meanwhile, led Natalia and the others quickly toward the deepest part of the Lost Wastes.
Finally, after rounding a nearly vertical cliff, the shape of the World Tree’s remains appeared before them.
The sight was enough to make anyone hold their breath.
A dead, giant tree with a diameter over a kilometer stood deep in the canyon.
Its trunk twisted upward in a spiral. Though it had lost all its branches, it still reached into the clouds, with an estimated height over three thousand meters.
The air here was filled with intense energy, forming visible energy mist that slowly swirled around the huge tree.
"Is this the target of our mission? The World Tree?" Nel whispered in awe, her eyes full of shock.
Bobbi knelt down and picked up some dirt, sniffing it. "The roots are still alive." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Or maybe it’s maintaining minimal life in some way."
"All the energy from the Lost Wastes’ underground veins eventually gathers here."
Logan looked at this natural wonder and felt deep awe.
But before he could say anything, Space Sensing gave the first warning.
