Chapter 455: Little Root

-----

Little Root had several interesting Skills I had never seen before to be honest. I guess those are unique to a Treant! Seed of Calamity though… seems like a passive that boost his earned EXP and stat growth. Pretty handy so he can grow quickly. He got Physical and Magical Resistance right away, and even status effect resistance.

Then Uproot is the ability to uproot himself and walk in two legs. Rest allows him to… rest? If he goes to sleep, his HP and MP recovery are increased by x2, seems to increase with every level. Wooden Needle is the offensive Skill, it allows him to shoot needles made of wood that deal physical damage.

Sharp Leaf Projectile is the magic version of Wooden Needle, but it seems that it can summon several leaves at once, so it is actually quite stronger. Relaxing Aroma makes it so Root emanates a sweet and relaxing aroma, which calms down the anger of monsters and might even put them on a dazzle. Allies in the other side are able to focus their minds better without letting fear take over their minds, also HP and MP Recovery speed increases.

Healing Leaf is… the ability to create a leaf that once eaten can restore a bit of HP! That's interesting. It seems Root can just create this leaf as much as MP he has. It is a new sort of material we could use for alchemy. The higher the level, the more quality and healing will give.

Lastly, Treant Progenitor gives him some sort of authority over other Treant-type monsters we might encounter, while enhancing his stat growth and EXP earned once more. And then at the end of all, Forest Master gives him some sort of power up when we are inside forests, while giving him the ability to guide himself easily around, so we can't get lost. Kind of like the Lumberjack Title.

But there's another Skill that caught my attention, Spirit Nest. It was a Skill that Root just acquired. I seemed to be more than its simple name suggested.

[Spirit Nest: Lv1]

The user has become connected with Nature and the Spirits themselves, becoming a natural nest for them. Spirits of Nature and other elements might naturally come to the user's aid once they are in a pinch, be it in combat or something else. Enhances chances for Spirits to come to the user's aid by +20% with an additional +5% chance for them to stay permanently with each Skill Level. Additionally, enhances Spirits Magic Power by +200%.

Wow, yeah, it is an amazing Skill! This little tree will become the nest of spirits in the future!

"I've hit the jackpot by finding you out of nowhere Root! But how come a Calamity Seed just showed out of nowhere? I can't believe my luck…"

"Gyugyuh… Dunno!" Root seemed like a clueless child.

"Hey Maria, what are you doing over there?"

Lucifer called to me as he suddenly noticed the little walking tree at my feet.

"What is that thing?!" He asked in surprise.

"Wooow!" Nyx ran towards Root, as she began to touch his branches.

"Gyugyuhhh…" Root seemed timid, running away from her, which only made her want to chase him around more.

"It is a Lesser Treant I just raised. It was just a tiny tree that died, it suddenly called for me for some reason. Trees usually don't have minds like these, right?" I asked.

"Yeah… Unless they're Spirit Trees, but those often are only from the Alfheim Continent." Lucifer analyzed. "Maybe we should show the Treant to Emeraldine… Nyx! Don't terrorize that thing…"

Lucifer quickly stopped Nyx from annoying Root, as we walked away from the fields. When Emeraldine was able to check on Root, she felt surprised.

"I had never seen something like this before! A living and walking tree… Though, I remember my mother once told me about them, they were called false trees, and they often camouflaged as normal trees and attacked unsuspecting people." Emeraldine said. "It is an interesting new Undead, though it is very weak compared to other Undead you've risen recently."

"Yeah I mean it was just a tiny sapling, but I might as well invest on him and help him level up… I heard there's several dungeons from low level to high level in the dwarven city, we could take a break while visiting those." I said with a smile.

"Eh? Why are you so invested on this little thing?" Wondered Lucifer.

"Yeah it looks weak and boring!" Partner said while crossing her arms.

"Gyugyuuuhhh…" Root suddenly began crying.

"Come on Partner don't be so rude with the child!" I reprimanded Partner, as she felt slightly taken aback by my reaction.

"A-Ah, sorry…" She apologized.

At the end, I explained to them what Root truly was and also his Skills, which were all very Unique, especially Spirit Nest.

"Spirit Nest?!" Asked Emeraldine. "That's a powerful Skill only the highest Nature Beings can develop… I think only the Elven Empress has that Skill as well! What an incredible surprise."

"This little thing has it?" Asked Lucifer.

"It also has a Calamity Seed Skill, this thing is a small calamity, but how?" Wondered Brunhild.

"That means that with Nyx we've got two Calamities? Cool!" Said Takeshi.

"I don't know if it is that cool though…" Laura sighed.

"I felt some weird feeling, as if a strange concentration of Miasma emerged yesterday but it hid somewhere… Maybe this Dungeon still had this Calamity Seed thing, whatever it truly looks like. It ended expulsing it somewhere else and it randomly landed in this sapling that died due to overcharge of Miasma and Mana… And then when I raised it, everything just came together." I theorized.

"Maybe but it still rather too convenient… There must be something more complex than just pure coincidence." Said Lucifer.

"Well, we can discuss it as we walk outside, let's go."

For now, we all went back to the surface and then flew back to the Dwarven Country to meet with Aquamarine and the rest in her mansion.
