Chapter 633: Miia’s Teachings
Miia and I watch over from a distance as Aro and treant fight the eyeball snake, the xiangliu. Treant is still in his tree spirit form, and is being held by Aro. The visibility in the area is poor as a result of Aro scattering her [Fog of the Dead].
Black wings sprout from Aro’s back, and she flies between the trees while shooting [Dark Spheres] at the xiangliu. Her two [Darkness Kaleidoscope] clones fly behind her, similarly shooting out [Dark Spheres]. Several [Dark Spheres] explode against the xiangliu’s dangling eyeballs.
But, the xiangliu doesn’t seem to flinch at all. It chases after Aro persitently, lunging forwards whenever it sees an opening.
『It’s tough…』
Most of the xiangliu’s stats are in its HP and MP, as well as its high defence. It has a lot of resistance skills, its recovery ability is high, and its scales are particularly difficult to pierce. It would take a lot of work to kill, even for me.
“I was wondering why there would be a level 83 in this forest. Most things here either get hunted and die, or hunt others and reach maximum level. But what you’ve told me of its status has made it clear. It's not as much as the hecatoncheir, but this xiangliu is quite the endurance specialist.”
Miia says, standing up tall with her back to one of the giant trees as she watches the battle closely.
“It’s fortunate that it’s low level and an endurance type. But, its attack power is fairly high, so its main speciality might be in close combat brawls. For raising Aro-kun and treant-kun’s levels, there’s probably no target more suitable. So why did you want them not to fight it?”
『I didn’t want to expose them to danger. To be honest, I would have preferred it if they never got involved with the whole divine skill conflict in the first place.』
