10 009- What Kinda Serpent just sits Around a Tree!
'Thank god for my [Divine Transformation]. I would have definitely been killed if it wasn't for them thinking i was super strong. It looks like I actually need to get stronger now.'
Seiya turned around and ran deeper into the forest.
'Hmm, since my [Devouring Scythe] is me... it should have some stats right?
'Status!'

'Nice! I didn't think that the system would count this as a weapon, but it makes sense since its being used as one.'
'When i get my absorption back maybe i can absorb things with my Scythe.' Seiya put on an evil grin while thinking about it.
'In the novels I've read the monsters are usually deeper into the forest so i should probably head there, I need a new home anyway.'
Seiya was already stationed at the entrance to the [4th Layer] but he made his way to the 5th. If he would have spread out even a little bit he would have found a multitude of [A and S Rank] monsters but he hadn't even bothered.
'Wow, I just past my old place but this isn't far enou-'
Before he could even finish talking he face planted into the hardest tree he had ever felt.
"Jeezzz...Watch out you stupid tre-"
Again before he could his sentence he was interrupted.
"ROARRRRGHH!!!"
He could feel the abnormal amount of breath released from the roar.
'Wait... I recognize this tree.'
[Inspect!] He shouted while jumping backwards.

'This is definitely THAT tree! How could I forget it lived so close!'
"Hey you stupid tree, your not all that anymore!" Seiya said this while pulling out his [Devouring Scythe]. Even though the tree was still over 60 levels higher than him, his stats were still better.
This tree didn't have a [Tier] next to its name so he guessed it was dumb enough to not tier up, totally forgetting that he didn't even know what that was a few days ago.
"I could kill you in 10 hits! I guess its time to test out my new weapon, haha!"
He didn't even hesitate and dashed at the pale tree.
-3,480
'So it adds the damage from the Scythe to my base damage? Even better!"
-3,480
He aimed for the trunk of the tree.
-3,480
He was the tree swinging its thick branches at him and ducked.
"Woah what the heck!? Your fast!"
He used all his strength the swing at the trees roots. He couldn't even see them, he was just swinging at the ground.
Pack!-
He heard the last sound of hitting the dirt but he had a feeling the root was really there so he swung one more time.
-13,920, Hard Crit!
[Ding!]
[Soul Stealing Tree, has been killed!]

'Status!' Seiya ignored the alerts and just opened his Status Screen.

'I think being faster is overall better than just having unrivaled strength, being fast increases the force behind your attacks anyway so lets do it!'
He threw every stat point into his agility and went on his way.

'Looks like I am faster.'
Seiya didn't realize it but running so fast brought him into the hands of danger.
Seiya was still running when he saw a huge silver... he didn't know what it was but he did know that he was now directly under the [World Tree]. He would have thought it was the trunk of the tree but it was silver, The tree was dark brown! he stopped right infront of it to investigate what was stopping him from reaching the tree.
'What the hell is this thing?' He said while poking it, it was hard but in certain areas it was pretty soft. He thought it was just a rugged old log or something but what he found scared him.
'Wait...These things aren't tree bark.. There.... scales?"
'No...Please don't!'

[Weakened State]
'BYE!'
The second he finished reading its status he almost teleported away.
'I AM NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN!'
Seiya had heard of Jörmungandr the son of Loki in his old world and he knew it was supposed to be able to coil around planets and touch its own tail. He was wondering why it was so small but that wasn't important.
'Who-or what could have put that thing in a weakened state, and what kinda [World Serpent] just sits around a tree!'

After Seiya dashed away you could see the Serpent open one of its eyes.
"Ahhh.... So that one is one of yours my brother. It looks like i'll have someone to watch in this boring forest, Maybe he could even help us to."

Seiya didn't want to just waste his time so he killed a few [Soul Stealing Trees] on his way to find a new home.

He had found a cave again but this time he checked the entire spot and didn't find any [Divine herbs]
'I think I've learned my lesson about [Divine Herbs]'
He sat on the floor and fell asleep, it was weird how he was sitting in the lotus position and sleeping, anyone would think he was meditating.
