The process of retrieving all the corpses from the hill took nearly three hours. Violet had to restore her Mana several times. The farther her roots reached, the more Mana she needed.
It was already afternoon by the time she finished.
Enzo examined the entire hill, but there didn’t seem to be any visible changes.
The soil was fairly hard. Even after all the coffins had been removed, the hill hadn’t collapsed, at least not yet. Whether it would hold up after heavy rain was another matter.
Violet returned to her human form.
Fortunately, she had more than one Storage Artifact—the ones she had taken from Alex Muller and Wyatt Ramos. Her own Storage Artifact was already packed full of corpses.
Violet walked back the way she had come.
By this time of afternoon, the fishermen had already begun leaving, and almost no one remained. She made it to the roadside without being noticed.
She raised a hand, and a taxi pulled over.
She got inside.
"Portal," she said coldly and briefly.
Immediately afterward, she took out her phone, simply to give herself something else to do.
Of course, she also sent several videos to Enzo’s phone, including the footage of William and Eliza.
Three drones had recorded the scene without any editing, so there were naturally three videos from different angles.
Enzo couldn’t help but smile as he watched them.
Eliza was still an attractive woman, with an educated and aloof aura.
The expression of pleasure on her face was particularly captivating.
It was much clearer than when he had watched through the System’s screen.
"Damn..." Enzo shook his head after watching for a while as his desire began to stir.
He couldn’t really blame himself. He was a normal man, after all.
To clear his mind, he lit a cigarette.
His eyes scanned the cells outside. Although many people had already dumped their goblin corpses there, there were still plenty piled up by afternoon.
He wasn’t in a hurry to deal with them.
Violet arrived at the portal not long afterward. She entered while still wearing her sunglasses, then activated Invisible Mode during the transition from Earth to the Moba World.
What else could she do besides meet that tree?
She couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning as she had originally said.
She had only said that because she wasn’t sure whether she could obtain the wine.
But as it turned out, it wasn’t difficult at all.
She didn’t see Augus in the Sanctuary, but she did spot Levi, who was still being carried around by his ostrich.
The man seemed extremely lazy about walking on his own.
Of course, Violet didn’t care.
After leaving the Sanctuary, she sprinted toward the river.
There wasn’t much preparation she could think of. At worst, she would simply use every trick she had if Tree Father tried to deceive her.
She didn’t believe she couldn’t escape.
It wasn’t long before she spotted the old wooden bridge held together by those massive roots.
Tree Father wasn’t visible, but Violet knew he was hiding underground.
She had no choice but to reveal herself.
"Where are you? I’ve prepared what you asked for!" she called out.
Immediately afterward, the humanoid tree emerged from the ground, looking surprised.
"You already obtained one ton of hundred-year-old wine?" it asked.
"I collected the corpses of people who had consumed it. According to my detection, the total amount reaches one ton." Violet replied.
She showed him one of her rings, where she had stored the corpses containing the equivalent of one ton of wine.
The jewelry, coffins, and actual wine had all been transferred into another ring.
"Everything is here," Violet added cautiously.
"Hahaha, little girl, you still think I’m going to deceive you?" the tree replied.
"Take it!"
It suddenly threw the crystal sphere marked with the number 21 toward her.
Violet immediately caught it.
"Now take out all those corpses," the tree said.
With the Level 21 Ascension Crystal already in her possession, how could Violet hesitate?
She took everything out.
The tree clearly had no intention of cheating her, nor was it afraid of being cheated itself.
Whoosh!
Skeletons and half-decomposed corpses appeared between them, piling up into a horrifying mound.
In an instant, countless roots burst out of the ground, covering all the corpses before dragging them underground.
"Little girl, you did a good job," Tree Father said.
Its lips curled upward, clearly forming a smile despite making its already ugly appearance even stranger.
"How much more do you need?" Violet asked.
Working together with a monster might be considered disgraceful, but she didn’t care.
The important thing was to level up first.
Once she became strong enough, she might even kill this tree.
"Ten tons... I need another ten tons. If you succeed, I’ll give you a very powerful shield," Tree Father replied.
Violet furrowed her brows.
"Don’t you have any more of these crystal spheres?" she asked.
"I don’t have any more. Little girl, don’t underestimate my shield. Your life will be much safer with it," the tree said.
Enzo wondered whether that shield was an S-Class item.
For the moment, he ordered Violet to nod.
"I can’t guarantee when I’ll have it ready, but at the very least, I’ll come back here within a week," Violet said.
Without waiting for a response, she activated Invisible Mode and sprinted away, stopping among a cluster of large rocks in an open area.
She revealed herself again and stared at the Ascension Crystal in her hand.
Level 21.
This would be an unimaginable increase in power.
Shua!
Violet swallowed it immediately.
This wasn’t something she could afford to hold onto for too long. Even though it wouldn’t disappear, Enzo couldn’t feel at ease until she used it.
DING!
(Because your character has swallowed a Level 21 Ascension Crystal, you and your character have directly advanced to Level 21!)
(Each of your attributes and your character’s attributes have increased by 120 points!)
