Everything was engulfed in flames, as Elena looked down as I disappeared…
"Phew… To think she forced me to use this form… She's certainly formidable." She sighed, reaching the ground below. He transformation quickly deactivated, as her friends ran to greet her.
"What the heck was that?! Did you had to go so far?!" Anna reprimanded her.
"It was fun, so I had to show her my all…" Elena smiled. "That was… so fun, in fact!"
"It felt more like she was your punching bag, her regeneration abilities are insane… So this is Planta, she fought too well for being Level 60 only…" Elisa said.
"Let's wait until she revives at least." The green haired boy said.
Elena nodded.
"Yeah, I want to add her to my friends-"
"Well you don't really need to wait or something~" I giggled.
I appeared behind the entire group, with both Titan and Maryrose by my side. I was still alive, barely, and my HP was slowly refilling back up. Yeah, she destroyed my body, but as I said before, I am the entire forest, as long as it remains standing, I can come back up… My Hp didn't went to zero though, maybe something would had really happened if it did, but if she didn't attacked the giant tree directly, that would be a pretty hard thing to do.
"You're still alive?!" Elena was surprised.
"Well yeah, I am a Dryad, that tree over there's my real body." I laughed.
"Huh?! You're a giant tree?!" Anna asked.
"Wait then, Planta, does that means our friend here's been just fighting dummies of you?" Elisa wondered.
"Not completely dummies, they're Wooden Avatars." I said. "Due to my skills, I can merge with nature, this entire forest is my territory, and therefore my body as well. That way I can expand the range of my body and all…"
"Amazing… Wait, are you sure about telling us this info?!" Anna said. "We could divulge it around!"
"Nah, I trust you girls." I smiled back, quickly cancelling PVP mode. "Reaper, so? Wanna come over with us? We are having a feast with various friends to celebrate the Demon King's defeat."
"Yeah, I could smell it from all the way here…" Elena said. "Can I really come?"
Aww, is she acting all shy now that her battle junkie side is satisfied?
"Sure dear! Come!"
Like that, I invited my daughter and her friends to eat with us. I had to quickly show them to my friends too, Achlys and Lily as well as Acorn and the rest. I had a small gathering with my friends after leaving them enjoying the meals though.
"She's your daughter?!" Rita reacted too loudly.
"Yeah… So please don't call me by my name in front of her." I sighed.
"But why do you want to keep your identity a secret from her?" Lily wondered.
"Ah… I get it, you really joined this game to know her better, right?" Mark said, quickly guessing it.
"Yeah… You really know me well, I guess." I laughed a bit. "But yeah. I've gone through a lot, and we even know this world's real and all… but my original intention was to meet her in the game and know her better, so we could reconnect a bit more."
"Yeah, this was really her plan initially." Rita said. "Well, alright, we'll keep it a secret for now."
"Don't worry about it." Lily said.
"I'll keep my mouth shut but… One day, you'll have to tell her about this too…" Mark said.
"I know… I am mentally preparing myself for that! But for now, we should go step by step, alright?" I sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Mark agreed.
"Alright! Let's go back for more booze!" Rita ran back to the party.
Once we were done talking about that, I quickly checked the Completed Quest I had been ignoring for a little while. I also had to see the Skill Trees too, something I've also been ignoring, or more like slightly forgotten. Though right now I have a hard time thinking about something else than my own daughter, she was simply way too amazing there, I was having a hard time not fangirling for her!
A-Anyways, enough of this, let's see the Quest I had formed, everyone should had already gotten their rewards, but I had yet to see mine. Well, as if it wasn't a reward enough with all the things I've received, from Titles, Powers, new Skills, and all… but yeah, there's always a little more.
Ding!
