Chapter 234: ...By Little
Quickly, he cut the wood up and threw it into his inventory. Immediately after, he bounced to the next tree. It was quite a distance away. Dasha didn’t care, his four fingers charging for a clean slice.
THUMP!
The second supersized tree fell. Upon crashing, the mist shifted ever so slightly. He squinted. He replayed his memories. The mist shifted. Ever so subtly, ever so little, but it shifted.
’Why? Why would that be the case? Bombs don’t work. The Will-o-wisps very lightly pushed the mist too. So why the redhiod trees as well? Unless...ah. The redwood trees power the mist. They possess immense durability and are dispersed far enough so that no player could possibly destroy them all.’
No wonder no one was able to complete this ludicrous gate. Those redwood trees were gargantuan. No player could destroy them in one fell swoop. Even if they did possess the destructive capacity, navigating through the mist was impossible. Players would end up going in circles and track back before they knew where they were going.
Dasha was an anomaly. The Seven-league Boots granted him immense travel speed and he wore the gauntlets of Thor himself. Then there was the most vital element: his internal GPS. He knew exactly where he was going. He wasn’t dashing around like a madman for no reason, he was analyzing and imprinting the map of the region in his head. Everything was slowly coming together. All the trees he encountered, all the people he saw, he remembered it all.
Just in case, he slammed a fist into the ground surrounding the stump of the massive tree. No roots. ’In other words, the trees are more like beacons.’
"Ah, at last you’ve arrived."
A green Will-o’-wisp drifted forward, parting the mist. Dasha waited patiently for it to settle and charge its attack. Green flames struck him. Dasha didn’t move. There was no need because this little ghost of light could do nothing. The difference in stats was too much. Dasha’s defence was over six hundred. The Will-o’-wisp’s strongest attack likely capped out at two hundred or three hundred.
