Chapter 568: A Fire Storm is Born

"Very strange, extremely strange."

When Angela walked closer, she suddenly found that this tree exuded a familiar sense of bizarreness.

Compared to the noise of other places, this tree and its surroundings seemed so quiet.

So quiet that it made people feel like there might not be any personnel living here.

And in fact, that was indeed the case.

After flying around this tree for about ten minutes, Angela discovered that apart from the squad of Avian people she had just seen, there were no other Avian people living here.

No!

It should be said that there were no people living even in the surroundings.

Of course, this wasn't what Angela was most interested in.

Especially its appearance of only having a trunk and no leaves felt even more familiar.

"I heard a Black Witch intruded."

"No need to hear, it's a fact, she's still causing a ruckus in the forest right now."

When Angela truly couldn't think of where she had seen this kind of tree before, she slowly descended from the sky to the top of that squad's heads.

Now that squad of Avian people had already converged with the guards originally stationed here and started chatting.

Angela came down just wanting to see if she could dig out any useful intelligence from the mouths of these guys.

When it came to stealth, Angela couldn't be more familiar with it.

"So you were also sent here to guard the Divine Tree?"

The original Avian guard looked at the newly arrived Avian captain with confusion.

"Otherwise what? For us to come play?"

"No, I mean why is it only your one squad? Logically speaking, to protect such an important thing, shouldn't they send at least five more squads?"

Originally, there were two squads of guards here.

But now that a problem had occurred, the guard captain naturally knew they needed to send more personnel.

But the problem was that the people sent were simply too few.

If they really encountered a large-scale witch attack, what could this few people do?

It wouldn't even be enough to withstand a combined attack magic array cast by a few witches.

As someone who also participated in that previous war, he naturally knew very clearly the destructive power and combat capability of witches.

Now that a witch had entered their Angel Race's autonomous region, it was truly news akin to a nightmare.

"Don't worry, it's just one witch. That guy is extremely cunning and released quite a few familiars to cause destruction in the city. From this point, it can also be seen that the other party isn't some combat witch; barring any accidents, they should be a support type, which is why they have so many familiars."

The captain, who hadn't interacted with Angela at all, spoke disapprovingly of the matter based on his own understanding.

After all, in his eyes, it was just like that.

Among Black Witches, there were three major categories: magic type, summoning type, and physical type.

Now that this guy came up and released a full seven familiars, no matter how you looked at it, they should be of the summoning type, right.

After all, only summoning-type witches could play with so many familiars.

If it were another witch, they would have one or two at most.

Although there was also the concept of familiars, even now, about a year after the concept of familiars emerged, those familiars were still limited to support and ornamental purposes.

Combat types that could cause destruction in the city like now weren't non-existent, but pitifully few.

It couldn't be that this one just happened to be one, right.

He would rather believe the other party was a summoning-type witch than believe such a small-probability event would happen.

However, the fact was that she was neither.

For him to encounter an event with an even smaller probability could only be said to be him hitting the jackpot.

Angela complained internally here.

But the Divine Tree, huh...

It would have been better if she hadn't heard it, now hearing this word made her even more confused.

If she had truly encountered something that could be called a 'Divine Tree', she definitely wouldn't have let it slip by.

After listening for a while longer and finding nothing nutritious, Angela decided to take another look at what exactly this so-called Divine Tree was.

This time Angela wasn't in a hurry.

Since it was the Divine Tree in the mouths of these Avian people, it definitely had the value of its existence.

Searching slowly, as long as she was willing to put her heart into it, she could always find some clues.

If she truly couldn't find anything, she could also carve off a piece of bark to take back and appraise.

Anyway, she had memorized the location; as long as she used a Teleportation Array, she could come here.

Hmm!

Right, why not try destroying it?

Anyway, it wasn't her own family's thing; if it broke, it broke, she wouldn't feel heartache.

Thinking of this, Angela's eyes shone.

When it came to destruction, even in the Tourism Department, there weren't many people who were her match.

Angela took out quite a lot of coal from her card, and then placed them in various corners of this bare tree as combustion aids.

After finishing all this, Angela wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.

Subsequently, she flew into the air and cast Soul Siphon on ten larger branches of this tree.

Although trees couldn't absorb any Mana Value or soul crystals, as a function of the Demon Eye, it could connect to all things.

It could be considered a conceptual thing.

But it was only limited to this.

As mentioned before, because of the [Marking Demon Eye], Angela could launch ten identical magic spells at once.

So after connecting to the Divine Tree, Angela carved off a piece of bark from the tree, broke off a branch and put it into her card, and then directly launched the attack magic with the fire element attribute she was most adept at right now—the B-grade Fire Dragon Spray.

Instantly.

Ten fire dragon heads made of flames popped out on the trunk of the Divine Tree.

Pfft—

The flames spewed out by the ten dragon heads at the same time directly ignited those coals on the upper layer of the Divine Tree, and conveniently ignited the trunk as well.

After finishing the magic, Angela quickly descended on her Flying Broom from the back of the trunk.

"Hey! The Divine Tree is on fire!"

After reaching the altitude where the guards were, Angela shouted loudly, and then continued flying down.

And upon hearing this voice, the guards first tensed up.

After all, they were the only ones here; now that an extra voice suddenly appeared, anyone would feel slightly terrified.

But then the guards thought of what that voice said.

On fire?

Divine Tree?

No!

"It's on fire!"

"Quickly go put out the fire!"

Looking up, the guards saw the fiercely burning upper layer of the Divine Tree.

Suddenly, the group of Avian people began sweating profusely.

One must know that this Divine Tree was extremely important to their Avian Race; if it was destroyed, even if they were all executed, it couldn't make up for it.

Fortunately, the biggest reason why everyone could be sent here as guards was because they knew Water-Attribute Magic.

So putting out fires or whatever was simply child's play for them.

But if they knew that, how could Angela not know.

After quickly rushing to the ground, Angela repeated her old trick, placed a pile of coal, and then another ten shots of Fire Dragon Spray.

Suddenly, the bottom of the Divine Tree also began to burn.

But this wasn't over yet.

This time, after using the Fire Dragon Spray, Angela didn't stop.

Instead, on top of the B-grade Fire Dragon Spray, she added another B-grade Gale Magic.

Fire plus wind...

And so, a massive Fire Storm was born.
