Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely-Chapter 51: The Tree Demon That Summons Weather
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Tree Demon That Summons Weather
"What, are you scared already? If you knew his hero level, you’d probably question your life."
Tang Xuanze seemed quite satisfied with his daughter’s amazed expression and said with a smile.
"Isn’t he even an A-level hero? B-level hero?"
"As for specifics, I cannot say much more. I won’t disclose his identity, and bringing such talent into our Tang Family would be all benefit without any harm."
Tang Xuanze had already investigated everything about Rosen, knowing that his background was clean, and Tang Xichen had once saved Rosen’s father.
This was simply a talent heaven had arranged specifically for their Tang Family!
Of course, for prudence, Tang Xuanze didn’t even want to tell his daughter about Rosen’s true situation, to prevent any mishaps.
"Since father doesn’t want to say, Xichen won’t ask then, only feeling that Xiaozhang is quite mysterious." Tang Xichen closed her open mouth and nodded silently.
...
On the other side.
The situation was extremely urgent.
The army brought by Donnie the assassin was killed by Rosen using table tennis-style tactics!
Even those as defensively strong as tank zombies had holes punched through them!
Seeing his rapidly dwindling army, Donnie knew a favorable situation was slipping away, and turned to flee.
He immediately transformed into his awakened hero, Shadow Escape Ninja, leaving a shadow trail as he sped away.
At that moment, the ability to escape was already quite a feat, as even the replicant Dark Great Mage battered by the eight tails wasn’t retrieved in time.
"Trying to run?"
Rosen, excited and pleased with the killing, wasn’t done yet and had no intention of leaving any stragglers.
Situations where the enemies are intentionally spared, allowing them to come back strong years later, Rosen couldn’t pull off.
Three tails promptly chased after him, the launching speed incredibly fast.
"My tails can instantly leap two hundred meters, can your speed suddenly accelerate two hundred meters?"
"If not, then you’re doomed as soon as you enter my range!"
"Die!"
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
The three tails pierced continuously, leaving Donnie transparently filled with holes, with bones and flesh scattering.
"Roar!~"
At that moment, all eight tails of the Eight Tails turned into whips, relentlessly lashing the similarly huge Dark Great Mage.
The latter swayed back and forth like a candle in the wind, resembling the drunken state you might experience.
This Rosen’s clone possessed Five-Clawed Golden Dragon properties, with true strength even greater than the Eight Tails, so even the tough replicant Dark Great Mage couldn’t withstand it.
Admittedly, this replicant Dark Great Mage was very strong, still able to counter despite the lashes received.
But Rosen’s equipment and item buffs also applied to the clone, making the Dark Great Mage’s countermeasures negligible to the Eight Tails.
Moreover, most of the time, the Dark Great Mage evaded with ease.
If my attacks can’t hurt you, fine, but you could still dodge?
Mocking me?
The Dark Great Mage was infuriated, feeling greatly aggrieved that he encountered such a bug-like existence today.
Roaring, he raised a large fist the size of a cooking pot to resist.
Yet more tails rained down like hail, with each lash creating blood splatter on him!
"Victory is assured, it’s about seeing how many hits from Eight Tails it takes to annihilate this replicant."
Rosen awaited the outcome.
While the Eight Tails’ transformation outmatched this replicant, the power gap wasn’t enormous enough to kill in a single blow.
It took almost three minutes until the defensively strong replicant Dark Great Mage dissolved into star-like light in a mournful cry!
"Such a powerful replicant, too bad it’s Chaos Faction, I can’t transform."
Rosen said regretfully.
Then after meeting eyes with Eight Tails, Rosen felt a bit afraid.
The clone had gone mad, and the real self couldn’t control it.
The rampaging Eight Tails was about to crush Rosen like an ant.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the five-minute mark was reached, the clone vanished without a trace.
Rosen wiped off cold sweat, relieved from the danger.
He looked towards his army.
Even after joining the fight, his army had lost over half.
Only about five hundred remained.
After the battle, a number of Demon Race items were scattered on the ground.
This forest also had wild Crawlers, which were killed in indiscriminate attacks, yielding plenty of goodies.
After tidying up, he managed to gather 60,000 Gold Coins, 30,000 Lord Coins, and a Bloodthirsty Battle Blade used by Beastman Cavalry.
This increases attack speed during battle by two-fold.
Unfortunately, the drop rate for equipment in the wild wasn’t as high as imagined, otherwise, with every soldier having gear, overall strength would have been greatly enhanced.
Checking the time, it was still early, Rosen planned to venture deeper into the forest and scout around the teleportation gate in his territory tonight.
Checking his phone, he found school group discussions about the forest situation.
It’s those two female students Rosen had saved.
Some girls can be quite gossipy, those two peers even boldly declared being saved by the Patriarch, described like a prince saving a princess.
Rosen felt speechless and also sensed a bad omen.
After waiting and seeing no comment from Tang Xichen, Rosen sighed with relief.
At this time, Tang Xuanze’s clone must be at home protecting Tang Xichen, while his real self fought on the front line, impossible to appear in the forest outside the town.
Only a few truly believed those two peers’ tale.
Rosen sighed again in relief.
"I can’t constantly transform into Tang Xuanze, despite wearing a mask; if someone sees the tailed beast garments and tails, recognition is instant."
"Not only might they suspect I’m Tang Xuanze, but it could also bring trouble to Tang Xuanze, forcing his real self to come after me."
"Usually, I’ll transform into Demon Hunter."
Next moment, Rosen changed into the Demon Hunter form.
Heading with his remaining troops deeper into the forest.
Not advancing a kilometer.
The Skeleton Archers positioned upfront fired arrows in unison towards one direction.
Thunk thunk thunk!!!
The arrows struck tree trunks; no other target was visible.
"Is it a fast-moving Demon Race, or maybe one adept at invisibility?"
As Rosen speculated, the struck tree trunk began to tremble, revealing uniquely ringed eyes and waving two thick branches like arms!
"Tree Demon?"
In certain ancient Central Plains monster record scripts, Tree Demons appeared, categorized as demon-like races.
The Skeleton Archers’ judgment wasn’t wrong; it was indeed the Demon Race, not ordinary trees.
As it turned around, countless hanging lord corpses became visible!
This single Tree Demon had slaughtered numerous new lords of the Central Plains!
Several of whom Rosen recognized, top students from their school.
If even the top students fell here, this indicates the Tree Demon had certainly grown strong.
"Could it be Tree Demon Granny?"
When mentioning mature Tree Demons, Rosen immediately thought of the weather-changing, soul-harvesting Tree Demon from "A Chinese Ghost Story."
"Try this fiery breath!"
Rosen transformed into the Dragon Knight, unleashing a large blue flame from his mouth.
As it landed on the Tree Demon’s body, it ignited instantly.
Attribute counteraction!
This was an unavoidable attribute strength limitation for the Demon Race.
The vines hanging corpses burned away, causing the lord corpses to fall off.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sky rumbled with thunder.
Clouds gathered.
Large raindrops began to fall!
