Terrifying Difficulty

The treant's health quickly reached around 50%. Seuss stopped attacking and stood behind the treant. He entered stealth mode and stabbed the treant's back.

This was not the treant's vital point, because the treant had no vital point at all. Seuss had only randomly found a place to stab.

-105

A huge damage number popped up, and the treant's health instantly dropped below 50%.

At this moment, the treant stopped all its attacks and raised its head, about to howl.

Kick.

Seuss, who was standing behind the treant, raised his leg and kicked the treant. The treant trembled, but his howling skill was not interrupted.

"This is bad, it's immune to interruptions!" Daydreamer exclaimed.

Seuss did not panic. The dagger in his hand changed from a reverse grip to a proper grip, and he stabbed fiercely into the back of the treant's head. Although the treant did not have any vital points, the Backstab skill was still effective.

The treant was instantly stunned, and his skill was finally interrupted.

"Kill it," Seuss shouted.

At the same time, the dagger in his hand continued to attack the treant's back. Fireballs and a greatsword also continuously landed on the treant's body.

There was no need to worry about the treant's health and attacks so everyone released their attacks without restraint. In less than a second, the treant's health decreased by 10%.

However, the treant had already woken up from its stun. It still continued to raise its head and prepared to howl.

Seeing that the treant was about to howl, Seuss reached the front of the treant and used Stun.

The treant was stunned for three seconds this time. Just as the treant was about to wake up, Seuss struck again.

Gouge.

This time, the treant did not wake up from its stun. Seuss and the others had killed the treant at the very last moment.

Huff~ Sirius collapsed to the ground. The last few seconds of damage output were even more tiring than the rest of the battle combined.

As a mage, the speed at which Sirius cast spells was basically the speed at which she chanted syllables and signed her hands. In order to kill the treant that was stunned, Sirius's hands and mouth were starting to cramp during those five seconds.

"Finally killed it," Madman said as he collapsed on the ground as well.

"Yes, we killed one." It was rare for Heart of Holy Light to say something that was still acceptable, but he immediately said, "But there are still many waiting for us."

Everyone ignored Heart of Holy Light and sat on the ground. They ate some food and water to recover their health and magic.

In a non-combat state, it was better to eat food.

A set of bread healed much more health points than a set of Instant Healing Potions (Small), but the price was only one-tenth of the potions.

Even though Seuss had a huge amount of money now, he didn't dare to use potions at all times. That would cost too much.

After he recovered, Seuss sent a die in the party channel and said, "Roll to loot."

Seuss's dice stopped. 45. Not too high or too low.

Next was Madman, Sirius, and Daydreamer.

They were 13, 48, and 65 respectively. Their values were not too high. It seemed that they were not very lucky today.

"Holy Light, your turn," Sirius urged.

Heart of Holy Light then threw a dice. When the dice stopped, it was surprisingly 100, which was the highest number.

Madman pushed Heart of Holy Light towards the treant's corpse. Heart of Holy Light continued to say, "Impossible, I can't possibly loot anything good…"

Although Heart of Holy Light had been declining, he could not resist Madman's urging and finally reached out towards the corpse.

With a flash of silver, a pair of boots appeared in front of Seuss. It was a pair of leather boots.

"Silver equipment?" Sirius exclaimed.

Although the treant was powerful, it was just a normal monster. How could he drop silver equipment?

"Don't worry, this is a good thing that can only be obtained by pioneering." Daydreamer laughed.

Currently, no one had passed the Twisted Forest dungeon, and it was still in an unexplored state. At the same time, they had entered the expert-level difficulty, which led to the current situation.

Of course, this was also because Heart of Holy Light was indeed quite lucky.

The only person in the party who could wear leather armor was Seuss. However, Seuss had the Thanksgiver's Boots now, so he had no use for them. He could only sell them after clearing the dungeon.

Of course, if they did not pass, the pair of boots would be gone.

When leaving the dungeon, everything gained within the dungeon would disappear.

With the experience of dealing with the first treant, Seuss and the others killed the treants in succession, and the entire periphery of the dungeon had been cleared.

The next step was still for Seuss to use stealth and scout out the area. The dungeon was very large, and the outermost area was a large open clearing, while a forest was in the center.

The treants in the outer clearing had been cleared, and so Seuss came to the edge of the forest.

Just as he entered stealth mode, Seuss darted into the forest and used the undetectable effect of one second to see the situation inside the forest.

With just one look, Seuss saw more than ten black elves appearing out of thin air. That was the scene of retreating from stealth.

Even though Seuss was still undetectable, the black elves still discovered that someone had invaded and scattered Detect everywhere.

One second of being undetectable quickly arrived. Just as one second had passed, and the Detect spell had already been thrown at Seuss.

His Stealth had been detected!

This was the first time Seuss had been detected from his stealth mode, and he almost couldn't react in time. Fortunately, Seuss already was prepared to leave the forest.

Without hesitation, Seuss immediately ran out of the forest. However, just as he turned around, a dagger appeared from his chest and he was stunned.

This was Backstab, a skill that Seuss had used countless times.

After being stunned, Seuss couldn't feel his body and couldn't do anything, but he could still clearly sense the outside world.

The moment he was stunned, several daggers stabbed into Seuss's back at the same time. Seuss's health dropped like flowing water, and his health fell to the bottom in two seconds.

There was no doubt that Backstab's stun time was only 0.7 seconds, but there were too many black elves behind him, giving Seuss no chance to wake up.

Just like that, Seuss died under the flurry of blades.

After death, Seuss's soul floated out of his body and he watched these black elves rush out of the forest.

Other than Madman and Heart of Holy Light who were able to take a few more stabs, Sirius and Daydreamer had no ability to resist at all.

After the priests and mages were closed in by thieves, they were no threat at all.

Heart of Holy Light quickly died in his stunned state. His defense was far from that of Madman, and his health points were also far inferior.

As for Madman, his situation was different. The black elves could only cause him a dozen or so points of damage, but there were simply too many black elves, giving him no chance to wake up.

A minute later, everyone returned to the small building.

"This is too ridiculous. What was that?" Sirius whispered as she sat on the ground.
