The Dominators
The Blackwood Forest 1
Preparations have been completed, items that must be carried by the group have been prepared. Chip and the others decided to leave.
"Everything's ready Vlad, are you ready to go now? " said Chip.
"of course. I almost died of boredom waiting for your time-consuming preparations, Vlad replied as he stood up from his seat.
"Hahaha I'm sorry, there's a lot of stuff I have to carry. And you know, the stuff I brought must be very high quality. Of course I have to prepare it with a very careful heart." said Chip while chuckling.
"Yaa.. okay. Let's go now. Leona and I will walk behind the troupe, while your guard can stand guard on the left and right of your freight train" Vlad said.
"Alright if that's what you want. Everyone, let's go!" chip said to his entire entourage.
"Ready sir!" answer the whole group.
....
It had been half a day that Vlad and his retinue had walked away from the city of Eden. Not much can be seen along the way, considering they have just come out of the boundary end of the Eden region marked by the break of the paving road they just passed.
Not long after, the group had arrived at the edge of the forest that looked very dark. Tree trees grow so close together that sunlight is difficult to penetrate into the forest, which causes the forest to look quite dark from the outside.
"All right, everyone, before we enter this forest, it's a good idea to take a break. It's difficult to find a place to rest in this forest because there are quite a lot of medium and high level monsters in it" said Chip stopped his entourage.
"Okay sir." replied the head of the guard force while making a gesture for the other members of the group to rest.
"What is this forest? looks so dark. It's so dark that I can't see anything from out here" Vlad said.
"The name is Blackwood Forest. So named because besides being so lush this forest until the sunlight is difficult to enter it, in this forest also grows many kinds of oak trees with jet-black logs." replied Chip.
"Oh so. By the way, when we enter the forest later, maybe me and my partner will separate for a moment from the group. My goal this time around is to go to Heinz city, I also have to train and level up my comrades" Vlad told Chip.
"All right, it's up to you. Importantly, we should meet again after penetrating this forest. There was a small village right after this forest. We'll meet again there." Chip said.
"Leona! Come with me." exclaimed Vlad calling Leona from afar.
"Good chairman." Leona said later
...
Vlad and Leona immediately leave Chip and his entourage to enter the forest first. They follow the path that divides the forest because they have to familiarize their eyes first with the darkness of the forest before they can hunt the monsters that are there.
They continued to slowly wander through the forest while occasionally stopping to pick up the medicinal plants they had encountered along the forest.
Before long, Vlad and Leona heard a faint roar from a distance. Immediately, they realized that there was a powerful monster not far from where they were at the moment.
"You hear her? Like it was a fighting call from your first opponent" Vlad told Leona.
"I heard his chief. Let's get there immediately" Leona said as she ran towards the sound.
Shortly after, they reached the source of the sound. They saw a monster with a human-like stature, but the roots and leaves wrapped around its entire body.
*Swamp Man (elite monster)*
Level 125
HP: 800,000/800,0000
"You ready?" ask Vlad.
"Of course, leave it to me!" leona replied steadily.
