Dragon King's Harem Chapter 118. The Last Day III
When we almost arrived at the Unnad Forest, four dead elent monsters charged at us from the front fiercely. Their slender legs stepped on the short grass around them in a hurry like a hungry beast that saw a rabbit in front of it. Their unusual appearance was enough to make Evelina and Jyne shudder.
The monsters were around a bus size. Even though their legs were similar in shape to a skeleton, their green skin was too pale for that. While their hind legs were thin like beetle legs. Their bodies were like a dirt beetle with a shell that resembled that of a snail. Hundreds of red mushrooms grew on their shells. And instead of the head, five tentacles protrude from it. That was where she sucked their victim's energy. While the mushrooms on their back were their lethal weapon to anesthetize their victims.

Well, they were easy opponents for . Moreover, my level was already far above them. As long as I could keep my distance, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, this was an open field so I could use my fire skills freely here.
Once they had entered my attack range, I turned my hand to them without slowing down my Yegaun.
'Fire Pillar!'
A loud explosive sound accompanied by a huge fire Pillar in their midst burned and devoured the monsters in an instant.

'Hell, yeah! There's nothing more satisfying than using fire skills.' I grinned happily. Since I could use my fire skill freely here and there were no ice elental monsters like before, I could kill all the monsters easily. And thanks to Al's Double EXP Potion, I was able to level up quickly. It was very useful here since the monsters hadn't stopped attacking us since we entered this remote area. In addition, with my potion stock, I could fight without fear. Although I admitted it was exhausting, I could feel a trendous sense of freedom within . Still... I couldn't let my guard down and check around us all the ti to make sure there weren't any monsters.
Also, my previous and today's battles gave two new stats. My Fire resistance was up by 20% since I had used my fire skill more than 100 tis. And my Ice resistance was up by 20% because I defeated Ice elent monsters in snowy terrain more than 100 tis.
While the others, especially Evelina and Eir, quickly noticed the significant difference in Argod's level from his fire skill. His Fire Pillar's diater was bigger than when he used it the first ti. It was 50% bigger and his Blazing Orbs was getting more and more. For the past few days, Argod had been using his Mana Weapon skill more to fight monsters so they were surprised that his power was already this strong.
As we got closer to the black forest, I slowed down my Yegaun before I pulled my reins to stop him near a bunch of big rocks.
"We will take a rest and grab our lunch here," I announced. It wasn't noon yet, but eating in the woods wasn't a good idea. Besides, the rocks would cover us from the monsters. Well, I still would be using the alarm parchnt to protect us. Who knew the undead insects would try to attack us?
"Yes, sir," they said. Then we got off our mounts and opened our supplies. Evelina and Jyne prepared our lunch which was... Another bread. While Eir was feeding our mounts.
I decided to fly and check our surroundings for a while. Just to make sure everything was okay. My sight imdiately caught sothing unusual. I even narrowed my eyes to make sure what I saw was true, staring at a group of green trees in the sea of black trees.
'Normal fruit trees?' This territory's soil didn't allow normal trees to grow so I was sure there was sothing there. Unfortunately, I couldn't check it right now since my presence would probably draw a lot of monsters' attention. Besides, we would be passing through that place so we could check later. And from what my Dragon Vision caught, they were just plain trees. There was nothing special about them.
After a while, I landed and activated the alarm parchnt.
"Did you find anything, sir?" asked Eir. His hand handed a leather pouch containing so bread.
I took it and sat beside them.
"I saw so unusual trees a few kiloters from here," I said. Then I started to eat.
"What kind of unusual trees?" asked Jyne curiously.
"The normal fruit trees," I replied.
And it managed to make their foreheads furrow.
"Just normal trees?" Evelina repeated. From her voice, she was clearly confused. They thought that Argod was referring to a new plant species they had never seen before.
"Yes. Moreover, those trees are full of fruits," I added.
They exchanged glances in confusion before they returned their gazes to .
"Is it a normal thing? Why are you confused about it?" Evelina asked.
"Indeed, normal trees are rare in this area, but that doesn't an they can't grow here, right? I an there could be sothing that affects the soil fertility in that area. So the trees can grow there," Eir tried to guess.
Even though it sounded reasonable, I knew it was wrong. This territory's Mana flow was cursed by the battle of the Demon Queen and the Undead King thousands of years ago. It was the third Dragon King who beca their diator. But the damage was still severe. At that ti, they chose this place since this is a neutral area for both parties.
After that incident, both the King and Queen felt guilty for what they did. So the Undead King bestowed his tribe's plants and trees as an apology. While the Queen bestowed so low level ta monsters that can be used as food and guardians. They did that to make sure this territory was still habitable despite what they had done. But the diation itself ended in failure, that was why the Undead and the Demon's relationship was still bad.
