Chapter 518: In the Shadow of Battle (side: treant)
Volk-dono straddles lecherta-dono, and they fly up to meet Lilixira’s vanguard. Together with Aro-dono and atlach-nacha-dono, my role is to intercept those who draw close to the ground. Last time, I was left behind in the mine, but this time I will surely live up to master-dono’s expectations, avenge left-head master-dono, and protect Aro-dono and atlach-nacha-dono.
The reason I was able to evolve into my current form was most likely because of my desire to protect my comrades. If I don’t fight effectively here, there’s no point. I am lacking in strength and speed, but my ability to take a hit is great than Aro-dono's and atlach-nacha-dono's.
“Treant-san!”
Aro-dono calls out to me. I twist around and nod. I understand, Aro-dono. I will draw all their attacks to me. The time to show the power of a [Tyrant Guardian] is finally here.
“Please use [Physical Barrier]! For atlach-nacha too! Quickly, they’re almost here!”
『Ah… That’s right.』
…It would be best if I could cover everything, but there are many enemies. It’s better to fight with some leeway.
“Once you’re done, hide behind me! Dragon-god-sama said that in your tree spirit form, you’re not as tough or strong!”
Oh…?
