"And where do we find these Dryads exactly?" Acnologia remembered the most essential thing, where the hell are those Dryads.

"Who knows...Ah, the Great Sage says they live in the forest and have eyes and ears everywhere." Rimuru responded "Hm, let me try this....Mrs. Dryads we need your help!!" Rimuru shouted on top of his lungs.

After a long period of silence, Acnologia continued to walk after Rimuru's little stunt.

"Hey, at least I tried." Rimuru said as he followed his brother.

"Yes, you tried. And failed miserably."

But then, Acnologia felt a disturbance near him, like something was shifting. His gaze then landed on a nearby tree that he a stunning beautiful woman coming out of it.

"Oooooh!!" Rimuru exclaimed "It worked!" He said, seeing that a woman if this beauty came out from a tree, who else would it be if not a Dryad. And his assumption was backed up by Great Sage's confirmation.

The woman opened her eyes and looked at the two strange creatures "Good day to you, My name's Treyni. May I know why have you called us?" She asked.

Rimuru was excited "Nice timing! We were looking for you about a wood golem, we were wondering if you can make one for us." He said.

Acnologia was not pleased about this situation, think about it, will you answer a stranger just because he called you?

"Of course." Treyni answered.

"Too easy!!" Even Rimuru was surprised, well, if now he didn't catch on, Acnologia would think there is something wrong with his head "... Though I appreciate the gesture...but...What do you want?" He asked.

Treyni smiled "Nothing...for now."

Acnologia huffed "Enough chatting, We called you for a reason and that is the Golem, will you give it to us or not?" He spoke.

Treyni never lost her smile "Of course I will give it to you, but you have to pay for it of course." She said.

Acnologia chuckled "... Interesting, I am willing to pay with your life. How does that sound?"

"Brother!" Rimuru shifted at Acnologia, the conversation is taking a bad turn.

Treyni just laughed it off "Oh my! To think a Golem will as expensive as my life. There is no need for that." She said.

"I insist."

"I am giving you a discount."

Acnologia's body started omitting a dangerous aura making both Treyni and Rimuru nervous "Say what you have." He ordered.

Treyni calmed herself and spoke "In exchange for the Golem, I have a favor that I want ask you, for that, I will give you our best wood golem with wood regeneration and Spirit's core. I believe that can help with your problem."

"I have no problems." Acnologia denied, still giving the scary magic aura.

"Oh! Then you hunting Golems for a week was for fun?"

Acnologia stayed silent for a second "So you were the one I felt following me back then." Acnologia wanted to destroy her right now and here... However, he has many things to gain from her "...I will decide after I hear that favor..." He said.

Treyni smiled brightly "My! I know that you were a reasonable person, The favor that I am asking is for you to protect this forest when needed." She said.

Acnologia would have tilted his head if he had any "... That's it?"

"See. It wasn't that hard, in return for a Golem for your body, isn't it a bit cheap." She said.

Acnologia didn't respond "Fine...If someone wants to cause harm to this forest, I will help...ONLY once. I believe that is fine for one Golem." He said.

Treyni was a bit surprised "...Ok." but she had no time to waste in negotiating for the long terms. "One time then." She then snapped her finger and several Dryads came out from the surrounding trees scaring Rimuru.

"Oh my god!" He exclaimed.

Without any word, the many Dryads started chanting a spell, Nature Magic strated gathering in the area, wood branches and roots started coming out of the ground and the trees, Treyni walked to the center and in her hand was a Green Crystal in the shape of a diamond. And then, like a tornado, a human like Wood Golem was born, it was featureless like a doll but with only a green Crystal in the chest area.

"It is ready." Treyni said as she pointed at the unmoving Golem.

Rimuru was amazed "So cool! I wanna learn that too."

"Maybe another time, Mr.Slime." Treyni said with a smile on her face. "Now...we don't have all day." She spoke to Acnologia.

Now, doing a very fast check on the Golem, he found no problems, he found that the source of power is located in the green Crystal, but it seems the crystal in itself was powerless.

Acnologia then decided to enter the Golem through the Crystal. No sooner, the Crystal started vibrating and it shined bright with Blue light. It then stopped and everything was calm, the Golem's hand moved a bit signaling life in it.

Everyone thought that was all, but then the shock came when the Golem was surrounded by a a magic blizzard the pushed everyone away.

*Rooar!!* The usual cruel and dominating roar of Acnologia came out. With his roar, the blizzard exploded into oblivion and everything returned to normal.

"Brother!!" Rimuru called for his brother in worry, but then his gaze landed on what came out after the dust settled down.

There, Stood a man with a long deep blue hair, dark skin with blue Tribal tattoos. Naked in all his glory, his Blue eyes were scanning his body.

There, Stood Acnologia Tempest.
