Seraphina Sullivan watched the swarms of monsters and Players.
’Maybe... with their help, I actually have a chance to take down that Mokla Giant Tree and complete this "world quest."’
’"A reward from the world"... The name alone tells me it’s no ordinary prize. How could I not do everything in my power to fight for it!’
With that thought, Seraphina Sullivan hesitated no longer.
She grabbed Simon Holt by the collar, activating her [Bounce] Skill once more.
After a few light and swift leaps, she carried Simon Holt across the intervening distance, landing steadily behind Heath Summers and the others.
Seeing a stranger suddenly approach, Victor Sharp reacted instinctively.
He was about to strengthen the [Energy Shield] to defend and block them.
"Wait," Sean Chandler said at the right moment, his voice calm and steady. "She’s a friend. Don’t worry."
"Oh?" Brandon Barton and Heath Summers both cast curious glances her way.
Seraphina Sullivan didn’t say much. She simply waved her hand, activating her [Clean Bubble] Skill again.
Several iridescent bubbles floated precisely toward the red petals trying to attach themselves to the outside of the Energy Shield.
The instant the bubbles made contact with the petals, the Charm Energy clinging to them was rapidly purified and dissipated, turning into ordinary motes of light before vanishing.
This clean and efficient display of "Purification" Ability brought a flash of surprise to the eyes of Victor Sharp and Brandon Barton, and they relaxed their guard slightly.
As Seraphina Sullivan set him down, Simon Holt was finally able to get a clear look at everyone behind the rock.
His gaze locked onto Samson Sharp’s shifting expression, Larry Olsen’s evasive eyes, and Charlotte Carter’s pale face.
The Fury and humiliation he had suppressed for so long instantly surged through him!
He stared daggers at Larry Olsen and Charlotte Carter, his teeth grinding audibly. His eyes were like knives, wishing he could devour the two traitors alive.
The intense hatred was almost palpable.
However, with a greater crisis at hand, Simon Holt didn’t act rashly.
He merely tightened his grip on the Bone-breaking Hammer in his hand.
"The giant tree is about to attack!"
Someone shouted, and everyone’s heart leaped into their throats.
In the distance, the Mokela’s colossal, mountain-like body began to change noticeably.
The giant, twisted face on its trunk—a face that looked like a fusion of countless agonized old men—opened its maw, which resembled a chasm to the abyss!
A terrifying light, a mixture of frenzied radiation and destructive Energy, began to gather rapidly in the depths of its massive mouth.
The air itself seemed to warp and whine under the strain of this Power!
"Wh-what is it doing?!" Heath Summers’s voice trembled as he felt the world-ending fluctuations of Energy.
Seeing this, an item from the Mokela’s ridiculously long list of Skills flashed through Seraphina Sullivan’s mind—[Deformed Energy Cannon]!
The Skill’s description came to mind: *Gathers a vast amount of Aberrant Radiation within its body and fires a destructive beam of Energy. Anyone caught in the blast will either die or be grotesquely mutated.* Seraphina Sullivan’s expression changed dramatically!
