Chapter 504 - It’s Just a Friendly Match, Tree Monarch, Why Are You Crying? (Part 1)
“Wuuu!”
The moment the Tree Monarch spoke these words, #18 became flustered.
Big sister, calm down! Think carefully! If we could summon you, how could we be weak?
Although Lu Ran appeared to be only level 6, and #18 seemed to have zero combat power, these were just surface impressions. #18 didn’t want its guardian heroic spirit, the Tree Monarch, to be toyed with by the likes of Captain Doofus due to overconfidence.
However, from the Tree Monarch’s perspective, her confidence wasn’t unfounded. After all, she was a plantmaster trained by the Flower God, the daughter of the Divine Tree. Her physique had even been praised by the Flower God as the most suitable for contracting and nurturing Time-attribute familiars.
In the Tree Monarch’s eyes, the reason Lu Ran and the others could summon her spirit was likely due to some external assistance. As the Divine Deer’s messenger, it was possible for Lu Ran to obtain such help from the Divine Deer.
Admittedly, the Tree Monarch guessed correctly that without the blood of Manager Ying, the timekeeper, #18 wouldn’t have been able to summon her. However, external assistance did not mean personal weakness.
The Tree Monarch had decided to observe the current state of the outside world in her heroic spirit form. She was aware of Lu Ran’s identity. As the Divine Deer was a being maintaining the stability of the continent, its messenger summoning the Tree Monarch must have had a significant purpose. In that case, she would witness it firsthand. The Tree Monarch had convinced herself.
As for Lu Ran’s mention of training, the Tree Monarch wasn’t opposed. She could sense that, despite her current peculiar state, it was surprisingly complete, and that she could even summon her familiars. In other words, the heroic spirits of her contracted familiars could manifest alongside her.
The Tree Monarch was deeply curious about this strange state and wondered how much of her strength she could still wield in this form.
“Where’s the battle?” Tree Monarch asked.
“Follow me,” Lu Ran replied.
