659 Stages of the Dread Sapling

Walking through the forest, Shiro decided to wait for a short while so that her wounds fully healed up before leaving. That way, should anything happen, she'll be ready to fight them.

Sitting on one of the trees while waiting for her wound to heal, Shiro looked towards the town with a frown.

If even the air that she breathes is poisonous to her current body then she's not able to stay in the town for long.

Sighing softly, she wondered how she could solve this. Since the dryad said that she had no idea, it could imply that she required someone with more knowledge on the null area and the dread sapling. There was also the problem of a culprit planting such an ominous sapling here in the first place.

What are their motives? What do they gain from this? Why did it have to be this town?

These were the questions that she needed answers to.
