Legend of the World Ruler

Ep 73's. Trombe

Arthur's horse-drawn carriage slowed down, before them filled with roots that crept along the way.

" Mister Arthur look at that." call Rias.

Arthur woke up from a sleeping position, he pulled the shadow sword slashing at all the roots that were in front of them.

Again Rias was confused, she only remembered this the second time she saw something strange from Arthur, out of nowhere the sword held.

Arthur slashed the roots along the road to the village of Lumber in the middle of the road, they stopped in front of a wooden wall made to block the roots.

The villagers built a wooden wall to shelter from the attack of Trombe a type of tree with roots that propagate to absorb the life energy that is around it.

Arthur passed through a wooden wall that was built suddenly, inside filled with refugee tents.

All the villagers left the village to save themselves and their families, the residents brought nothing with them during the Trombe attack.

Though their place is far from the village but the roots continue to penetrate towards them looking for nutrients to develop.

The village chief greeted Arthur with open arms, followed by the residents who were still in a healthy state.A part of them were exposed to poison from Trombe while still in the village.

" We were really helped" the village chief said as he saw Ruby and Rias deliver the medicine they ordered from Alan Rufus.

The village chief told the situation where they were now, the wall they had built was almost filled with vines.

" Why don't you just burn the plants ?." Rias gave advice.

The residents have tried various ways that mean burning it but the plant continues to grow and more and more.

The situation did not improve, the entire village was filled with roots that propagate, not only that Trombe also attacked the residents.

" The plant is a monster and adventurers came to this village to fight it but they did not succeed" said the anxious village chief.

The residents had tried to stop it by building a wooden wall, but the plant continued to propagate.

There was the sound of the adventurers shouting, they received a mission from the guild in the city of Terion.

" Adventurers yes." muttered Arthur, he had not visited the adventurer guild for a long time.

Arthur calls Ruby who is sleeping on the roof of the train, hearing Arthur calling, he immediately jumps down.

" Bring these adventurers here." Arthur gave Ruby a request.

" Good Lord Arthur." Ruby turned her scythe, then she ran quickly towards the Lumber village.

It didn't take long for Ruby to carry two people in her left hand and right hand, although Ruby's body was small but she was able to lift it.

He dropped the two people to the ground, the person under Ruby only fainted if Ruby arrived late maybe their bodies just stayed clothes and bones.

" The plant monster is creeping everywhere, I've attacked but the plant is growing again and there are also those who release poison" said Ruby explained the situation inside the village.

" Weak people are desperate to go there, these people really suck, yes" said Ruby while insinuating the adventurers.

" Are you the hero who will save our village?." asked the village chief when he learned of Arthur's identity, he came to the village using his identity as a merchant.

The village chief begged Arthur to cure the plague in Lumber village, then the village chief took Arthur to go see the people affected by the disease.

" What potion did you guys order not work?." asked Arthur when he saw many residents lying limp.

" As you can see, the plant absorbs the life energy of the inhabitants." the village chief explained to Arthur

" Trombes even have parasitic properties." Arthur saw in the kill population appear roots attached to the skin.

The herbs that the residents ordered only to relieve the fever can not eliminate the roots attached to the body of the villagers.

The village chief pleaded with Arthur to treat the people affected by the disease.

" Can cure it or not, I can't be sure yet." Arthur approached one of the residents who was pulled on the ground with a cloth.

Arthur brought out the holy water he got from the labyrinth, the water that helped him live until now.

Arthur could not take the water directly from the storage, he did not want the residents to be shocked and asked questions.

He pretended to take a small bottle of holy water, and then he leaned on the people lying down.

After a while, the bodies of the residents who drank the water Arthur gave back to normal, the roots attached to the skin came off and fell down.

Arthur did not explain what was given to the inhabitants, he poured the holy water over the entire sick population.

All the inhabitants eventually healed, the roots attached to their bodies came loose and their bodies gradually improved.

Arthur swallows away, he does not want to linger in that place but the residents kneel in front of Arthur.

" O savior, please save this village" said the village chief.

Arthur did not immediately accept the request of the village head, he wanted to hear the cause of the emergence of Trombe, according to the history of the Trombe plant has been destroyed hundreds of years ago, now it must be difficult to find it.

Arthur tries to remember how to defeat the Trombe in the village while continuing to listen to the village chief's story.

Arthur's knowledge is vast thanks to the relics of the leader of the liberating forces.
