Seeing the tree continue upwards Ivan decided to first check out this platform. After all this tree was so mysterious, so there should be something good to be found. After that he would try to go further upwards.
Having decided on his course of action, he first went over to the most conspicuous thing on this green platform. Which where the branches that looked like trees.
From the distance there was nothing unusual about them, but when he got closer he saw that there were small fruits hanging on some of the smaller branches.
These fruits looked like small grapes and there were only a few of them on the branch before him. All of them shimmered in a different amount of colors. The ones with the most shimmered in all colors of the rainbow, while the one with the least only had a dim red look.
Not only were the amount of colors different, but the intensity of the light they emitted was different too. The more colors they had the brighter the light they emitted too.
It wasn't hard for Ivan to speculate that the more color a grape had the riper it was. The rainbow colored one, that was emitting the most light, should be the only one which was fully ripe.
Even though Ivan really wanted to collect all the grapes, since he was sure that they had to be something great, he restrained his greed and only plucked the one grape.
Once again he inspected it in the hope that he would gain more information about what exactly this grape was. Checking the tree had given him zero information and when he had tried it on the grapes while they were still on the tree, he too had gotten no information.
<< Mysterious Fruit
A rainbow colored fruit that grows on a mysterious tree. Eat the fruit flesh to find out more. The seed at the center of the fruit can most likely be used to grow a mysterious tree, but it's grow time can't be determined.
>>
It seemed like the System too had no information about this mysterious tree. But it was still able to come to some conclusions, which it then put into the information it gave him.
"Guess I can only try it out later. For now let's check the other branches."
After that he went to all the tree like branches and collected three more Mysterious Fruits. Besides these fruits he wasn't able to find anything else on this platform.
"I guess it's time to fly further upwards. Maybe I will find something good there too."
He once again rode Vlada upwards.
They had only flown up slightly more than ten meters when their progress halted. It was like the surrounding air had become viscous. Even when Vlada did put all her strength into it, they were unable to move up even the slightest.
Disappointed the two could only give up the plan to fly higher and search for other good things on this tree. They could only descend until they once again reached the ground.
They then continued on their way towards the end of the path.
During their travels they met lots of different plants that tried to attack them, but the sword wrapped with flames was easily able to get rid of them.
The more he used it, the more he liked it. It was perfect for this dungeon and also enabled him to train multiple stats at the same time. After all fighting with a sword not only required strength and agility but also stamina. And with the addition of the enchantment he even used his mana and mental energy which trained his willpower. Of course there was also the downside that, since it used all this different kinds of energy, he had to frequently rest to regenerate them.
Time passed and after getting used to fighting with his flaming sword, he started to try to slightly change the flames depending on the situation. Doing that he realized that he would be able to reduce his consumption of mana this way. Of course he too had to use more mental energy to control the flames much more precise, but he had realized that he could last longer this way.
Finally the reached a clearing in the forest, on which only a single tree stood. The tree was a willow, which leaves had a slight red tint, which gave it a malicious look, since it seemed like they had been bathed in blood.
The bones lying around it only strengthened that impression. Ivan didn't even have to think to realize that this tree was the Murderous Treant mentioned in the quest << Clearing the Herb Garden >>.
Readying his flaming sword he dashed towards the Treant.
As soon as he reached a distance of ten meters of the tree, it suddenly moved. Some of it's branches shot towards him, trying to impale him, while others slashed down from above with the intention of whipping him to death.
Their timing was impeccable and they would reach him at exactly the same time. Allowing him to only defend against on route of attack, while having to take the other head on. Not only that. There were also some branches wrapping around in order to reduce his range of movement.
"F**k"
As soon as he saw this he could only curse. Curse at the tree being so clever as to attack in this way, as well as at himself. The easy wins after having developed his Flame Enchantment had made him overconfident.
"Overconfidence really is what kills the strong."
He only had a second to decide on how to react and even wasted some precious time on cursing, which only deepened his predicament.
Now the only way was to speed up and hope that he could slightly mess up the attack timing of the Treant. He decisively collected every ounce of strength he had to push himself to a even higher speed. Shooting towards the incoming branches, trying to impale him.
