Chapter 202: A Trustworth-Bee Ally?
With no deaths and only a handful of wounded soldiers to deal with, the cleanup was handled swiftly. The Second of the Sixth looked over the digging soldiers with burned abdomens, fortunately, the Fire-Resistant Bees perk had done its job and they were all expected to make full recoveries. To Belissar’s surprise, some of them looked disappointed at the news, at least one of them turned their gaze to Beero and her battlecaster squad.
But Belissar himself could not be happier with the situation and hummed a tune to himself as he moved to grab some of his honey supplies for the celebration. He was halfway back to the battle meadow when he felt a strong source of foreign mana enter the Tower. He immediately sent his gaze towards the source.
Tarwantrad had burst through the nexus door. She appeared to be wearing a bush covering her entire body with leaves and flowers, though he caught glimpses of leather and metal armor hiding underneath. She held a staff that still had its branches, complete with leaves and blooming flowers. A gigantic flower had begun to crawl through the nexus door using its roots as legs.
“Belissar! Are you alright?! Tell me you’re alright!”
Ah, he hadn’t told Tarwantrad they won yet, had he? Belissar made his way over to the nexus door’s Fairy Grove, waving as soon as Tarwantrad came into view. She rushed over to him.
“Oh, thank the gods! We didn’t hear from you after you started the purification so I feared the worst.”
Belissar blinked a bit.
“Oh…um, sorry? I didn’t realize you were waiting. But yes, we won.”
Tarwantrad nearly dropped her staff as the tension drained from her body.
