Chapter 2440: 2440. Facing A Witch



The creaking of trees came as a larger breeze moved through the area. This drew Walker and the other's focus. The manas were slightly more unsettled as a divide appeared within the endless night forest.

It wasn't as if the trees had been cut away or moved. Inteas it was like they had been guided to just simply not grow in the way of the thorny bushing growing in a perfect row. The vines within the bushes were curled up and protecting the toots. Seemingly as if they had been prepared to guard against being cut down in any way shape or form.

'Servant vine

This is a vine made by a witch, it is not a true plant but actually a familiar monster known to serve witches by feeding on their mana. Up to a hundred witches can be found to the same servant vine which allows it to grow powerful guardian abilities. Often, the servant vine will be able to protect their territory so that young witches are not threatened by monsters. Because of the witches defending this ancient monster and binding with it for hundreds of years, it was able to give up its violent natural tendencies and become the servant vine. Its ancestor was known as the mountain breaking thorn, often using its ability to temporarily draw in mana around it to dig in to and absorb nutrients from the very mountains themselves. While it is not used for any medicinal effects, it is very hard to handle since it can absorb the manas surrounding it and use them to enhance its speed, strength, and toughness. As such, it is an ideal guardian for when larger groups of monsters attempt to invade passed it...' "That's not a plant or a monster, it's a familiar that is bound to the witches. It is a servant vine that can temporarily absorb the manas around it. I believe that will come at some cost since that is dangerous. Most likely the cracks we see on the outer bark are the damaged parts of it that can not handle the amounts of manas it has used."@@@@

"I should be able to halt that from happening." Ignus wanted to just burn the thorny vine wall ahead of them entirely. He could manage that easily and would give them the pathway to break in to the endless night forest which was the area for exploration and scouting planned for them anyways.

"Are you dumb? We aren't just burning it all down. Walker just said it's attached to witches as a familiar. You wouldn't go around killing the tamed monsters or familiars in Genesis, right? So let him deal with it." No one looked at Remey as she threatened to smack Ignus, Mordant also held himself back since he knew that Remey was not joking. She wasn't afraid at all of anyone fighting her back.

It was a fair point though, Walker could handle things right now since force was not the first option needed.

Su prepared her shields just in case as Walker began to reach out with his mana senses. When he found the powerful manas attached to the servant vine, he wasn't surprised whatsoever. He knew that powerful magic users should be around and his gout feeling had told him the

same.

The moment his mana touched on the core manas flowing through, Walker felt he had been pushed abc. The entirety of the thorny vine bushes began to move and shiver. It was like they were getting a hundred calls immediately from elsewhere. It made them begin to unravel their vines and prepare.

"Stay and lead the camp." She spoke softly but Walker saw the slight glint in her eyes that told him she understood he wanted her to examine the entirety of the outer edges of this forest. To gain as much information as possible. She knew him well.

"Swear it on your hero titles to come in peace and hold yourself in balance with nature." The voice again came with a slight tinge of fear.

Whatever connected them, Walker knew must hold greater authority. This witch felt the

power of who was ordering her.

"We swear peace while we travel here. That's a pledge from the one who holds the title of true hero." Walker showed through the air and glanced at the witch waiting for her to guide him. It was easy to feel the tension grow in the air.
