Chapter 81: Chapter 34 Encounter, White Bone Giant Python
However, uncomfortable as he was, Char’s spirits were still lifted.
Because the results were gratifying.
Previously, the Clover Mantis and the Floral Blue Leopard had cleared out a good batch of the Undead, notably thinning their numbers in this direction, already forming a kind of counter-push—at least in the direction of the Garden Secret Realm, a counter-push was taking shape.
Now, with the Thunder Night Dragon taking action, its powerful combat capabilities were overwhelming; there was no need to lure the monsters, but to directly invade the Land of Death.
Glancing at the task bar and thanks to the completion of the “Wandering Undead” task, he had gained a whopping thirty wisps of Praying Power in one go.
Currently, thanks to the mighty combat power of the Thunder Night Dragon, even though many types of Undead had already been killed earlier, this short but devastating slaughtering spree contributed almost twenty more wisps of Praying Power to him.
At this thought, a spark of inspiration suddenly flashed through Char’s mind.
Among the Undead, he had killed in these days, many had already been killed once in their living form, like goblins, brown-tailed roe deer, and Wind Scythe Locusts.
In theory, killing them again wouldn’t contribute any more Praying Power.
But after they were slain and turned into Undead, the system seemed to regard them as new types of monsters. Thus, killing them again contributed Praying Power once more.
Then, could he create Undead himself and kill them to gain more Praying Power?
Killing two birds with one stone! Create more Praying Power out of thin air?
And even more so, could he possibly trigger an Undead cataclysm…
When this thought crossed his mind, Char himself was startled. He immediately snuffed out this dreadful idea and refocused his attention on the present.
Now, in the blink of an eye, he had over fifty wisps of Praying Power.
Adding in the items left by Kedel and the help from Freyja, the first Castle upgrade task would probably be completed soon as well, which would be another fifty wisps of Praying Power.
…
Char silently calculated in his heart, feeling the more he calculated, the brighter his future seemed.
“Let’s move on, we’ll continue to follow.”
He said to his Magic Pets.
With the Thunder Night Dragon leading the way, there was no need for them to join the fight; they just had to follow behind and collect and carry the bones of the Undead.
Just then, an angry roar came from the Thunder Night Dragon in the sky, and Char’s expression immediately changed.
This was the first time the Thunder Night Dragon had let out such a surprised and angry roar. Without a second word, he found the tallest tree nearby and clambered up.
Faster still were the Clover Mantis, the Floral Blue Leopard, and the Lantern Firefly.
The Clover Mantis flew out of the forest in an instant, reaching into the sky.
It was quick to react, fast, and could fly, naturally making it the fastest to ascend.
The Floral Blue Leopard and the Lantern Firefly were a bit slower, reaching the heights almost simultaneously.
The Floral Blue Leopard’s innate talent, compounded with many years of staying by Freyja’s side, meant it was quick to react with ample combat experience. If it weren’t flightless, its speed reaching the tree canopy wouldn’t have been much slower than that of the Clover Mantis.
The Lantern Firefly was also quick to react and capable of flight, but its speed was much inferior to that of the Clover Mantis, so it was considerably slower.
Only the Star Worm, neither a warrior by nature nor at a high level, was only just fluttering up leisurely.
But at that moment, Char had no time to pay attention to it; all his focus was on the Thunder Night Dragon, which was furiously spewing bolts from its Thunder Annihilation Cannon in the distance.
A ball of blue-purple lightning condensed in the Thunder Night Dragon’s mouth, and the next second, it shot out at a speed greater than any attack Char had previously seen.
He could barely trace its path, let alone dodge it.
But an enemy that could cause the Thunder Night Dragon to issue a cry of shock and rage couldn’t possibly be ordinary, and countless White Bone Giant Pythons emerged from the forest, converging into an oversized Bone Shield.
The Thunder Annihilation Cannon directly hit the Bone Shield, enflaming in a glaring blue-purple lightning flash, shattering it and sending bone fragments flying.
Countless Bone Spears shot upwards while the Thunder Night Dragon turned into a dark phantom, dodging like lightning.
Next, Char saw a huge White Bone Giant Python winding around a tall tree, quickly reaching the top, rearing its head to hiss silently at the sky-bound Thunder Cloud, its eyes blazing with ghostly green soul fire, sending waves of invisible shock emanating in all directions.
Fast!
Too fast!
The exchange between the Thunder Night Dragon and the White Bone Giant Python was too quick to follow; in the blink of an eye, they had clashed several rounds, leaving Char unable to catch up.
“Damn it! I told you not to go too deep!”
Seeing a Bone Spear lodged in the Thunder Night Dragon’s wing, Char felt both anxious and pained—on top of that, a hint of frustration.
At this moment, the Thunder Night Dragon was far from him, and given the distance, it was clear that it had gotten carried away, ignoring his warnings completely and excitedly delving too deep to the point of being ambushed by the White Bone Giant Python and suffering a slight setback.
“Let’s go! Move forward to help!”
Char called out, stepping on the branches while lowering himself from the tree and sprinting toward the direction of the Thunder Night Dragon.
From the battle situation, the Challenge Level of that White Bone Giant Python should be as high as the Thunder Night Dragon’s, and perhaps the Thunder Night Dragon might be a bit stronger.
The reason why the Thunder Night Dragon is at a disadvantage now is firstly because it was ambushed right from the start and got injured, and secondly because the White Bone Giant Python has helpers – a large number of Undead are continuously launching attacks on the Thunder Night Dragon, and even for the Thunder Night Dragon, it is impossible not to be affected.
This is also why Char made the decision he did now, calling the Clover Mantises to move forward and help.
If the Challenge Level of that White Bone Giant Python exceeded Level 8, he would definitely call for the Clover Mantises to retreat immediately, retreating back to the Garden Secret Realm as fast as possible.
As for the Thunder Night Dragon? It could only pray for good fortune, to see if it could escape by utilizing its flying advantage.
Because it couldn’t be saved!
Rash attempts to rescue would only ensnare them further, leading to the Clover Mantises, Floral Blue Leopards, Lantern Fireflies, and Star Worms all dying in battle.
For both him and his Magic Pets, a monster of Challenge Level 9 was far too lethal.
In a situation where the Thunder Night Dragon couldn’t fully withstand the opponent, any casual attack from the enemy could potentially lead to their total annihilation.
To sacrifice all of his Magic Pets for a single one, and even possibly die himself?
Char couldn’t make such a choice.
Therefore, if the Challenge Level of that White Bone Giant Python exceeded Level 8, he could only give up on the Thunder Night Dragon.
Although it was cruel, it was the rational choice.
But since the Challenge Level of that White Bone Giant Python did not exceed Level 8, there was still a chance to fight.
The Clover Mantises didn’t say a word and just rushed forward, with even the Star Worms being no exception.
Only the Frost Crystal White Deer hesitated, as if wanting to take the opportunity to flee, but after a moment, it too headed toward the direction of the Thunder Night Dragon and leaped forward.
Even because of its astonishing jumping ability, it acted later but arrived first, overtaking everyone else and charging to the forefront at once.
…
Inside the Garden Secret Realm, Freyja walked into Char’s bedroom.
She hadn’t helped tidy and change it before because Char was sleeping inside, and she hadn’t been explicitly invited by Char, so she hadn’t entered the bedroom.
But before Char left, he asked her to help, and of course, Freyja had no reason to refuse.
As she entered the bedroom, she first saw a set of clothes, not the kind that looked very intricate and beautiful at first glance, but one could tell they were women’s clothes.
There was also a note placed on the clothes.
With a slightly surprised expression, Freyja picked up the note and glanced at it.
With just one glance, a faint blush spread across her cheeks, Freyja felt a touch of shyness, but this was soon swept away by a slight joy and the relief of having let out a held breath.
The note was left by Char, telling her these were clothes left for her, which she could wear as she pleased.
She hadn’t changed her clothes for days, and the blood stains on her armor hadn’t been thoroughly washed away, as she only had this one set of clothes – her spare clothes had been lost during the attack and pursuit by the Shark Lizard Beasts.
Even though Wood Elves sweat less and have a natural fragrance of grass and trees, after a few days, she also began to smell, and Freyja herself felt somewhat uncomfortable. If she didn’t get a change of clothes, she would have gathered the courage to ask Char if she could borrow his clothes to wear.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Char had already taken note of her predicament.
‘Could it be, he smelled the odor on me?’
Freyja’s first reaction was embarrassment and shame, followed by happiness and a sense of relief.
After all, she finally had a change of clothes, and furthermore, Char’s attentiveness and thoughtfulness inexplicably made her happy.
She just didn’t know where Char had gotten women’s clothes from.
“Where did these clothes come from? They’re so pretty, did Mr. Char leave them? Why doesn’t Betty have any?”
Betty, who had gotten used to following Freyja when Char wasn’t around, also saw the clothes on the bed and immediately started chattering, followed by an exclamation.
“I know! They were transformed by the Prayer House!”
‘Prayer House? Is it that solemn room next to the bedroom?’ Freyja thought to herself.
Since Char had never explicitly said she could enter that room, Freyja had never attempted to go in.
However, even from the outside, Freyja could feel the holy and solemn atmosphere emanating from within, a sensation she had only experienced in the temples of several Divines in her tribe.
‘So, the room is under the watchful gaze of a Divine?’
Freyja quickly dispelled her inner thoughts, not daring to contemplate further.

Just as she planned to have a wash and then change into clean clothes, a distant, barely audible angry dragon roar came from afar.
“Is that the roar of the Thunder Night Dragon?”
Betty, who was fluttering above the clothes, stopped and said uncertainly.
