Chapter 371: Rite of the Avery part 4

[Inside the Forest Dungeon]

"Looking for the Tree of Life 𝅘𝅥𝅯, inside the Forest Dungeon 𝅘𝅥𝅯, Left and Right 𝅘𝅥𝅯, Right and Left 𝅘𝅥𝅯, there's no sign of it!!! Left and Right 𝅘𝅥𝅯, Right and Left 𝅘𝅥𝅯, just where are you O Tree of Life!!!" [Charlotte]

"That's some way to vent out your frustration" [Anjin]

(A really cute way) [Kucin]

"Now, now. I had it worse before, so let just keep searching" [Khamishah]

"Ouch ouch ouch ouch, ok! Ok! Stop pinching my cheeks" [Charlotte]

"She can't... You're cute" [Kucin]

"Don't just naturally join in!" [Charlotte]

As I beg the two of of them to stop pinching my poor poor cheek, the other also take a breather, sip a cup of tea and munch some snacks after another unfruitful attempt on searching for the Tree of Life. Well, inside this vast dark forest dungeon, surrounded by nothing but the greeneries of trees, all the while all sort of monster from flying leeches to monstrous boa lurking around searching for their next set of meals, our eyes and mind begin to get tired.

Apart from that, this thick miasma of mirage mana with the Fairy Queen mana mix with it makes it worse. Interestingly enough, the initial part of the miasma of mirage when we first encountered it was pure mana from the Fairy Queen, but now, part of it is from a naturally forming mist mix and blended together perfectly with the miasma of mirage. I can tell that this isn't just something that she does out of whim, this need a constant mana release for god know how long. Given how thick it is, and the size of area it affected, not to mention other factors that one should consider such as conditions of weathers throughout the year, the monster sucking the mana out etc, she must had constantly release her mana, maybe around a year minimum, but honestly, since the Fairy Queen is a long living creature, I'm not surprised should she had been constantly releasing and blending her mana into the surrounding for hundred years altogether, and even without her presence, this type of mist can self sustain maybe for another hundred years, even forever should a mechanism is created just to recycle the mist and mana

(Honestly, I think out of all the Holy Beast I had met, she must be the second strongest just behind Reshir the Ice Dragon) [Charlotte]

This speak volume to how immensely powerful she is, but, this also speak volume of how powerful the threat of the fallen god is. Even with seven powerful holy beast, together with the ten heroes of the past and those banded to survive, the fallen god, albeit getting sealed again and again, keep coming again and again. Almost like, that's the only way for them to sealed her before finding a permanent solution

"Hmm?" [Farhah]

"Something wrong Farhah?" [Charlotte]

"Not really, just, are you the one singing this tune just now?" [Farhah]

"I did sang a song just..." [Charlotte]

"""""SHHHH!!!!!""""" [Elise, Khamishah, Anjin, Kucin, Singa]

~Nod~

The beastman alongside Mrs Khamishah do their best to focus. All of them synchronizingly closes their eyes just to make their sense of hearing better, before all of us join in together to help them. Thing is, the sound of frogs, cricket, mosquitoes, snake hissing and beast howling etc make it hard for me to focus

"Meow!" [Behe]

"Over there?" [Rean]

"Meow!" [Behe]

With Behe keep pointing his claw into a direction, all of us try our best to focus and luckily, our ear catches a familiar voice singing to her content, alongside with another familiar mana

"No way..." [Kara]

"But why?" [Mara]

"We should probably head out to the mana location now" [Karon]

"Right! Let's move now!" [Zerolith]

""Hmm!!"" [Lara, Nara]

Taking the wheel, we head out to the source of sound, and as we keep getting closer

"Where are they 𝅘𝅥𝅯, where are they 𝅘𝅥𝅯? Where are the little kids that I love 𝅘𝅥𝅯" [Calypso]

"And O why... O why... Just what is with this thick miasma 𝅘𝅥𝅯" [Ant Aries]

"Calypso! Holy Beast of Earth!?" [Savel]

"So it's them!" [Kara]

"Oh! It's you guys!" [Calypso]

"We met again, although there are some unfamiliar faces with you. Where's the Paladin favour by the God of War?" [Ant Aries]

That's some pair that I wouldn't imagine happening, but somehow, the two of them get along pretty well from the looks of it

"Anyway, what are you two doing here?" [Rean]

"What do you mean, we are here to help you out!" [Calypso]

"Really! Thank you so much!" [Charlotte]

"True, plus, the Fairy Queen herself sent out her invitation to me, saying I should help in the Rite of the Avery. Make sense considering I am the Holy Beast of Earth and the Avery is trying to communicate with the God of Earth" [Ant Aries]

"It's mother earth" [Farhah]

"Yeah. I know" [Ant Aries]

"?" [Farhah]

"You look confused. Don't tell me, that you didn't even know that mother earth is the form the God of Earth takes after losing most of her power when fighting against the God of Life. That shouldn't be possible considering you're an Avery" [Ant Aries]

"!" [All]

"Impossible right! I mean, every Avery should know that" [Calypso]

"Farhah..." [Karon]

Everyone is staring at Farhah

"What's with that look. Of course I always knew about it! I'm an Avery who always done her homework!" [Farhah]

"You're sweating rather profusely right now..." [Singa]

"It's hot! Don't you know people will sweat when it's hot!" [Farhah]

"It's cloudy. If a half reptilian like me have to guess, the temperature should be around 20 degree Celsius..." [Savel]

"So! People can still sweat under this hot condition!" [Farhah]

"I remember you sneezing and shivering yesterday..." [Charlotte]

"That because it's just too cold!" [Farhah]

"""Right....""" [Singa, Savel, Charlotte]

"Hey! Have some respects!" [Farhah]

"Anyway, take a look at this" [Calypso]

Calypso quickly bring out a long branch of stick from her item box magic

"That is!" [Farhah]

"What is that thing?" [Lara]

"Can't be an ordinary stick" [Nara]

"Of course it isn't! That's the branch from the tree of Life itself!" [Farhah]

"CORRECT! And with this, we are gonna use it to find the tree of life location!" [Calypso]
