The Story of Demon Hunter

Treants

Treant, that was the name of the creature that was in front of them.

Treant itself has a similar appearance to a tree. Perhaps, it was more appropriate to call them tree monsters. If you look for the most obvious differences, of course, the pair of legs they have. In addition, the branches also formed a pair of hands with five sharp claws. The upper part of his body was similar to a normal tree, but on the trunk part, it looked a hideous face-like shape.

On the move, the Treants showed their true form. But they have a privilege, which can disguise into a tree and blend with the trees around it. Even hard to find by professional hunters if blending in the forest.

“Arthur, Arthur .. Why do trees walk? Why do they look ugly?”

Lily pulled on Arthur's clothes, then pointed towards the Treants with a curious look on her face.

“Uhuk! They were called Treant, a type of tree monster. The reason why their skin is full of wrinkles and cracks can be changed according to the shape of the tree they disguise. You cannot call them that way. Whether it is beautiful or not depends on who is looking.

For some monsters, sometimes humans are mocked as monkeys without feathers and are considered to have a bad appearance.”

“Ya.” Lily nodded. “I understand, Arthur.”

“Friends ... I don't think it's time to learn and explain that kind of thing, do you?”

Jotaro immediately interrupted Arthur and Lily who were talking. After all, a dozen meters away from them, there were seven Treants surrounding them. Although there was only one who was at the gold level, but Jotaro did not dare to underestimate because he had never fought with such a creature.

Of the seven Treants, there was one at the 1-star gold level, there were two at the 5-star silver level, there were two at the 3-star silver level, and there were two at the 8-star bronze level.

In contrast to Jotaro who looked so serious, Arthur was quite relaxed because his fire clearly reined in Treant. Even Lily also had a fire element that could suppress them. Although it looked ferocious, but those creatures were clearly less dangerous compared to the evil spirits in the Nameless Village.

“Take it easy, Joe. The Treants shouldn't be so evil. They can still be talked to. Especially for those who are already at the gold level. It's very safe.”

Arthur walked up to the Treants with a relaxed expression on his face. He put his hands on his waist while smiling casually.

“I told you, they were-“

BRUISES!

The whip of a bucket-thick tree instantly struck right at Arthur's waist, making the young man bounce tens of meters into the forest and disappear from sight. Just then, Jotaro and Lily were stunned. They really did not expect that the 10th division head who usually appeared strong would actually be flown in such a manner.

“Why are you kidding at a time like this, Boss?”

Jotaro could not help but grimace when he listened to see Arthur being flown. Although he knows that his boss is a very relaxed person in dealing with problems. This time the guy was too relaxed.

‘With the power of such a lash, at least some of his bones are cracked, right?’

Thought Jotaro with a sour expression on his face. He then glanced towards the startled and dazed Lily. In the end, the man said.

“It seems that I finally have to do it myself.”

Saying that, Jotaro immediately threw away his clothes, showing his muscles. The man then put up the horses. A yellow-colored aura instantly enveloped his body. Looking towards the Treants who were grinning ferociously with a bad face on the tree trunk, he let out a cold snort.

“FORWARD!”

Seeing some Treants advancing slowly, Jotaro chose to attack. Only, he did not expect that it was the wrong choice.

Despite having slow foot movements. Their hand movements were obviously very fast. As he advances, Jotaro completely forgets that some of the creatures hit Arthur until he disappears into the forest.

Seeing some Treant hands extending and swinging like a whip, Jotaro instantly crossed both hands.

A BANG!

Affected by the violent blows of several Treants, Jotaro's figure flew backwards. He twisted his body in midair then landed skillfully. Seeing Treant's large body approaching, the man immediately recalled the iron pole in the courtyard which he had always used as a training associate.

Imagining Treant as an iron pillar, Jotaro instantly clenched his fists tighter. The yellow energy enveloping his fist instantly flared ferociously. The two men's fists then looked glittering like they were coated with metal.

Seeing the two whips darting towards him, Jotaro immediately avoided him like a professional boxer. The man then looked at the gap and then advanced. Appearing in front of Treant's face, Jotaro instantly struck with all his might and as fast as he could.

Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!

The sound of a metal bang hitting the wood echoed. So fast, the man's punch until it can not be seen by the eyes of normal people. Seeing the many cracks in Treant's face, Jotaro immediately made a hard blow.

BRUISES!

One 3-star silver-level treant instantly crashed and fell to the ground violently. Although not dead, but serious injuries appear on the face and body of the creature. Looking towards the several Treants who were staring at him with expressions full of anger, the man put on the horses then raised his chin.

“WHO'S NEXT?”

***

Meanwhile, Arthur's place.

The young man's figure lay flat on the broad grass. Looking at the sky, the young man muttered.

“It looks like my internal organs are slightly shifted from its place?”

Arthur did not panic at all because with his physique, such a wound was not something dangerous. It can heal quickly. He was also not angry when he was suddenly hit by Treant. At that moment, the young man suddenly remembered something.

“Better lie down and sleep for a while here. With the power of Joe and Lily, it should not be difficult to fight the Treant.”

Saying that, Arthur closed his eyes. Lying on the grass, feeling the refreshing atmosphere of the quiet forest, the young man was completely at ease. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly sniffed a refreshing scent.

‘This ... wood? The scent of the Treant?’

Feeling the delicious aroma, Arthur felt more comfortable. At that moment, his consciousness began to fade. Can really fall asleep, even though his friends are fighting with while betting their lives there.

While asleep in the refreshing aroma, Arthur suddenly remembers learning to cook with Vivia. At that very moment, the young man's eyes immediately widened.

“BURNWOOD!!” suddenly he shouted.

Arthur immediately got up while wiping his mouth. Having a ferocious expression on his face, the young man muttered.

“Super quality roasted meat. Amazing taste ...”

“I want it!”

Realizing something, Arthur immediately saw the symbol on the back of his right hand.

‘You've wanted this for a long time, right? Out for me ... Gluttony!’

Along with Arthur's call, a jet-black sword appeared in his hand. The young man then said with a stern expression.

“CAP!”

The black sword instantly wriggled like a living being, starting to reshape its body into a jet-black giant axe. It emanated a gloomy and extremely evil aura.

Looking at the axe that was larger than his body, Arthur smiled in satisfaction. Glancing towards him earlier crashed, the young man smirked ferociously.
