Chapter 214 : Black Forest Rampage
Chapter 214: Black Forest Rampage
Gauss suddenly felt a powerful desire welling up inside him to obtain it.
Even though he did not know where this emotion came from or why it arose.
He always considered himself calm by nature.
Yet at this moment, his heart pounded wildly, as if a voice within him kept urging him to act.
Е̂ n um̀ ā.. і d̈
“Don’t be hasty...”
Gauss pressed his hand lightly against his chest, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

“Gauss, are you alright?”
This scene, falling into Arya’s watchful eyes, made her think something was wrong with him, so she quickly asked with concern.
“I’m fine, not uncomfortable, just a little excited. It’s good news.”
“Oh.” Arya nodded vaguely in understanding.
È.n_umа̃
Seeing that Gauss did not show any expression of pain or discomfort, she also felt reassured.
This was probably what they called caring too much leading to worry.
In contrast, Serandur appeared much calmer. He merely glanced at Gauss, then shifted his attention back to the surroundings, staying alert.
Of course, it might also be because, as a Priest, he had some special means to sense changes in Gauss’s condition beforehand, so he was not overly worried.

“I just saw it. In the middle of that grove, there’s a pond. Floating above it is a giant egg about one meter in size. But around it are three enormous Treants standing guard. Their strength isn’t something we can handle at the moment. Besides that, there’s also...”
Gauss relayed all the information he had gathered to his two teammates.
En̄um̀ а._і d̆
“A giant egg? One meter in size?” Arya held her breath. “Could it be the offspring of some extraordinary monster?”
“A white egg...”
As a Druid, possessing the ability of contracted companions, she was naturally more sensitive to such things.
“Could it be a Sacred Unicorn?” She could not help but let her imagination run wild.
The Sacred Unicorn was a wondrous creature dwelling in the magical forests, a mighty branch of the unicorn lineage.
It looked like a horse, yet it was not some gentle, ordinary woodland beast, but a noble, intelligent, and incomparably powerful celestial being, often tied to purity, forests, and divine power of goodness.

In folklore, this beautiful and powerful creature often appeared in stories, living in harmony with the creatures of the forest. From rabbits, wolves, and foxes to all manner of fae, they frequently served this guardian of the woods.
Adventurers with kind hearts might receive its aid; but should they harbor evil intentions, they could be driven out or even attacked.
Legend had it that when darkness descended upon the land, the gods would pair a Sacred Unicorn with a righteous hero to lead the charge against the source of evil!
Thinking of this legend, she could not help but turn her head to look at Gauss.
Could the legend be real?
Her own captain did seem to carry some traits of a hero...
Еñ_ü.m̃ а. і d̂
She shook her head.
“It could also be another powerful creature,” she reconsidered.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This place hardly felt like somewhere a Sacred Unicorn would appear.
“Could it be some neutral creature, or perhaps an evil monster?”
There were plenty of possibilities that fit.
“It might even be a dragon egg.”
Е̄nům̌ӓ.і d
Though the chance of it being a White Dragon egg was slim—since White Dragons were Frost Dragons that lived in freezing polar regions, glaciers, and snowy mountains, hating warmth—this environment was far too humid and hot for them.
But slim did not mean zero.
Besides, it could also be some subspecies of dragon, or on an extremely rare chance, some unique dragon type.
And apart from that, it might belong to something even more mysterious.

“However, for now, it looks very difficult to obtain.” Gauss admitted frankly.
He had not even figured out how to carry such a massive egg out of a nest full of monsters.
W eb_nоve l̈ Еn u m a
Not to mention, to bring it out, he first had to get close to it.
And he feared that the moment he stepped into the grove, he would be exposed.
“True.” Arya also calmed down, thought for a moment, and helplessly nodded.
She too could not think of any good solution.
The only reason she considered it was because Gauss’s strength and means far exceeded ordinary Tier 3 Professionals. Otherwise, she would have simply turned back without hesitation.
A frontal assault was nothing but suicide.

Sneaking in among the monsters to take it was equally unrealistic—such a large object was clearly the focus of every monster’s attention.
Fire?
In this forest saturated with magical energy, flames would extinguish on their own before long. They could never spread.
Drawing away the guards? Even less possible. At most, they might lure away a few Converts, but that would only alert the others that their trio had already come near.
What should they do?
Leaving felt wasteful... but acting without a strategy was impossible...
W ёbn оv ë l̆ Еǹu m̈å
Gauss’s heartbeat quickened further, and he felt his body gradually heating up.

“Uncle Mo, still nothing?” Locke dismounted his horse.
Gazing at the canyon shrouded in mist, there was a trace of impatience in his tone.
Though he had already taken a sobering potion to counter the toxins, the mist in the air still made people feel uneasy.
“Please wait a little longer, Young Master Locke,” Mo Jarl replied respectfully.
Wе b n̄о̊ v ě l Е ñŭmа
Surrounding the two, aside from the silent, expressionless adventurers, was an entire squad of cavalry.
The group advanced imposingly along the Mist Path, a place full of dangers for common adventurers.
But for this elite squad—every member Elite Tier and above, well-prepared with protective measures and potions—even if faced with hordes of Banshees or Undead Creatures, they showed no fear.
Thus, they moved with little vigilance.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
They did not believe they would encounter any surprises here.
Mo Jarl held a small, exquisitely crafted compass in his hand.
Е́ n ú ḿӑ . і̀d̀
Clearly, since he brought it out now, it was no ordinary navigation tool.
In fact, this was a precious magical item.
Its function was to detect unusual magical auras and fluctuations within a certain range.
Thus, it could serve as both an early-warning and treasure-seeking device.
The compass needle spun rapidly in Mo Jarl’s hand.
“Clack, clack, clack!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even after more than ten seconds, it did not stop, but only spun faster and faster.
The pointer nearly left an afterimage on the dial.
“Broken?” Locke glanced at it before looking away.
Normally, it would spin for a few seconds, then stop to point in a direction—not endlessly rotate like this.
Just as Mo Jarl felt puzzled—
From above, a tremendous pressure descended like a mountain crashing down.
W е ḃ n ӧṽ.е_ľ È n̈ ù_m̆ а
“Boom!!”
The annoying mist of the path suddenly dispersed.

But in that instant, everyone present wore blank, dazed expressions.
“A monster, coming!”
They looked up.
With the mist gone, sunlight poured through an opening.
Ёn umа̃
Bathed in golden light, a colossal bat descended slowly from the sky.
Its body was massive, with a wingspan close to fifteen meters.
Its form resembled a grotesque fusion of giant bat and Pterosaur, its body sheathed in dark-green, near-black leathery skin, covered in warts and boils.
Its head was half-bat, half-dragon, with a short snout lined with venomous fangs.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Its limbs were powerful, especially the hind legs, ending in hooked claws that gleamed chillingly under the sun.
Most striking of all, around its eyes coiled a swirling haze of murky, dark-green poisonous miasma.
W̃ẽb n о̇ vе ľ _E ñům̊ а
Each beat of its wings stirred violent winds, driving the mist even farther away.
“It’s a Corrupted Wing Dragon Bat!!!”
One knight, gazing upward, blurted out in shock.
It was no wonder he failed to restrain his fear—for this Corrupted Wing Dragon Bat was an exceedingly powerful monster.
It was one of the vanguard monsters under the Emerald Forest’s queen, the Green Dragon Queen, bearing the title “Wart Tyrant.”
Why was it here?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Wyvern Nest already had several Wyverns stationed there, which was considered an excessive deployment for Outpost Eleven along the vast borders of the Emerald Forest.
Yet now, for some unknown reason, the Corrupted Wing Dragon Bat had descended.
This left the cavalry uneasy.
Most of them were only Tier 1 to Tier 5. While outstanding among common folk, against such a terrifying monster, they were no different from fodder.
Some knights even began trembling, while their mounts lost the ability to move.
The immense oppressive aura spread freely through the air. Those unable to endure it lost control over much of their own bodies.
Ѐ n ǔmа.
Such was the influence of a “top-tier combatant” on the battlefield.
Fortunately, they still had a backbone to rely on.

Many secretly glanced toward the center of the formation—at Mo Jarl.
The white-robed middle-aged man actually revealed an expression of realization.
Staring at the Corrupted Wing Dragon Bat above, Mo Jarl’s heart still felt heavy.
That overwhelming pressure bore down on him.
Е̌ṅ umȧ. їď
But his attention was not entirely fixed on the monster itself.
Its appearance only further confirmed the truth of the prophecy.
He had indeed come to the right place. The prophecy of legend lay within the Mist Path!
Otherwise, how could this vanguard of the Green Dragon Queen, the titled Corrupted Wing Dragon Bat, appear here?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He looked toward Locke at his side.
Then shouted loudly.
Ѐn.ù m̊ ă
“Everyone, prepare for battle!!”
The thunderous roar resounded in every ear, stirring the hearts of the cavalry, their mounts, and even other creatures. Fear was replaced by courage, and their eyes grew firm again.
“Boom!!!”
The Corrupted Wing Dragon Bat noticed the commotion below. As though provoked, its draconic head slowly lowered, releasing a roar with tangible fury!
Circles of sonic shockwaves crashed downward.
......

“Roar!!!”
Gauss drove the Clay Converts toward the pond.
But before long, a massive Treant standing tall unleashed a furious roar through a Pure White Convert, stretching out fluff-like strikes to knock them away.
Its posture seemed less like an attack and more like a warning—a command to retreat.
It would not allow him to approach the pond.
It was as though letting such a lowly, ordinary Convert near the pond would defile the sacred object worshiped by the countless creatures.
W̃ebnóv̂ ѐl̆ .Е̂ ǹ ü mа̊
Or perhaps the closer one was to the center, the clearer one could feel the waves it released—and the greater the benefits. Thus, none were willing to share.
Clearly, whether in human society or in the wild forests of monsters, strict hierarchies existed everywhere.

“A bit stingy.”
Just as Gauss felt at a loss—
In the middle of the once-still pond, the floating Pure White Giant Egg suddenly moved, like a heart about to awaken.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
Е̌ńu̇m а
With each throb, circles of pure-white shockwaves visible to the naked eye surged outward from its center.
The blast of energy swept across the ground, the glowing moss, the trees, the prostrate Converts, and even the standing Treants, shaking everything violently.
“Boom, boom!”
The ground began to quake.

And the energy waves did not stop there, breaking through layers of Black Tree barriers, sweeping past Gauss’s group’s hiding place, and spreading farther across the forest.
“Eh?”
Ёnum̄а̄ . і d
Gauss only felt a cool yet life-filled energy wash over him. His spirit was lifted, and his whole body felt refreshed.
Arya and Serandur also stared in shock toward the Black Tree barrier.
Inside the grove encircled by the Black Trees, dramatic changes were taking place.
All the Converts and smaller Treants—even the three towering Treants in the center—became simultaneously more fanatical and more fearful.
They could not understand what had happened to the sacred object.
They could only worship even more fervently, pressing their bodies flat against the ground.

“Boom!”
At the very moment all the monsters bowed devoutly, the Giant Egg slowly rose into the air.
“Mm—”
This scene instantly caused a stir among the monsters. In their perception, this sacred relic, which bestowed the power of evolution, had never moved.
Indestructible, immovable, like a divine existence.
And now, it moved!
Ẇеb̆nоvе̊ ĺ Е n̄ú ḿ а
This change shattered their understanding—if they even had understanding.
After floating upward, the Giant Egg locked briefly onto a direction.

Then it rapidly flew out of the grove. Through the vision of the Clay Converts, Gauss saw it heading directly toward his location.
Combined with that strange feeling of being summoned—
How could Gauss not know it was coming straight to him!
Before he could think further, just a few breaths later—
Е ñ u m а.іd
The Giant Egg arrived above him, radiating a gentle, reassuring light. It glowed as though reuniting with a long-lost friend.
Then, without warning—
It suddenly crashed down toward him.
Gauss reflexively stepped back, trying to dodge, but the egg was faster.

“No! Don’t—don’t...”
He had no time to evade. It struck him squarely in the chest.
Еn̄u m а̊
Then, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The Gauss Force Field that should have triggered failed to activate.
Like melting away, ripples spread across its surface, then it swiftly sank into Gauss’s body, vanishing completely.
“......”
After a moment of stunned silence—
Gauss touched his chest. Finding himself unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief.

“It merged into your body!” Arya’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Even Serandur’s eyes flashed with surprise.
But his reaction was quicker—he stood and began moving toward the distance.
“We have to leave! The monsters inside are about to riot!”
He glanced toward the Black Tree barrier.
The grove within, once silent, had become a cauldron of chaos.
Е̌ nu̇ m̆ а. і̌ d̈
Once the Giant Egg left, the monsters there awoke from their reverence and unease.
The sacred object was gone!

Realizing this, the Treants opened a gap in the Black Tree barrier.
Immediately, the monsters inside surged out.
Meanwhile, Gauss and the others had already begun retreating.
Gauss dashed swiftly through the woods.
Еnǔ mа_.і̇d̈
Behind him, he heard the furious roars and the trampling pursuit.
The entire Black Forest seemed to boil over.
Angry roars exploded like a tsunami throughout the woods.
Especially the three massive Treants at the rear—their sunken eyes glimmered faintly with red light as their root-like legs stomped the earth, making the ground tremble with thunderous force.

And they were not slow.
Gauss, Arya, and Serandur changed direction several times, but the noise behind them kept following closely.
Wе̊bṅŏ v е l̈ Ë n ü m à
He knew the monsters must have some special way of locking onto them.
And most likely, the Giant Egg was the cause.
Otherwise, how could it be that before, the three of them were fine—but once the egg was hidden within him, the monsters chased them as though after their worst enemy?
“Arya, Serandur, I have the egg inside me. They’re probably tracking it. You two head toward the Chocobos. We’ll split up. We’ll regroup at Outpost Eleven.” Gauss quickly used the Message spell to deliver his voice to their ears.
With the two around, he could not unleash his full speed.
In terms of short bursts, his speed actually surpassed both of them—even Serandur, with all his blessings.

“Gauss! You—”
Before Arya could finish, Gauss erupted at full speed, veering in another direction.
Serandur hesitated briefly.
“Arya, let’s get out first.”
His thinking was more rational than Arya’s.
Especially after seeing Gauss unleash such speed, he guessed Gauss’s intentions.
Еň ūm̀à
With the egg inside him, Gauss had already been marked. Acting alone was better. Against this monster horde, not to mention the two of them—even if a Master-tier Professional came, they would only have to flee. They could not possibly help.
The best help they could give was to leave quickly.

If Gauss failed to emerge, they could report it to President Rich and bring reinforcements.
“Alright.”
Arya glanced at Gauss’s disappearing figure, dazed for a moment, then turned to hurry toward the mounts.
......
E nu m а . і̊d
Hearing the pursuit still locked onto him, Gauss ignored Arya and Serandur, and let out a breath of relief.
His guess had been correct.
His “theft” of the Giant Egg had driven these monsters completely mad!
Even if he returned it now, reconciliation was impossible.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, tremendous force shook the ground beneath his feet, and his body darted sideways.
Е̊ ň ům̌ ă
The next moment, a massive boulder crashed down where he had just been, gouging a deep crater.
“Boom!!!”
That was close.
The colossal Treants pursued him while hurling huge rocks like catapults.
Feeling the Giant Egg still radiating gentle light within his body—
Gauss sighed bitterly in his heart.

“Oh, Egg Treasure, Egg Treasure... you’ve really brought me misery.”
Although he had coveted it from the start, he was not so reckless.
He would never risk his life for a mysterious egg of unknown origin and use.
That was why he had never acted directly earlier, but only tested through the Clay Converts.
Who could have thought the egg would be so domineering?
When he did not approach it, it flew to him instead!
Ẁе̄.bn̊ o v́е̃ ľ Еñū m̌ а̂
Feeling the pursuit drawing ever closer—
Gauss’s legs ached faintly from straining so hard.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Aside from not using his Fiend Form, he had already brought out nearly every method at his disposal, his body exploding with one hundred and twenty percent of its strength.
But he still could not shake them off.
From both sides of his vision, several high-ranking Converts had already used rapid movements to close in on him.
And ahead, he could faintly see several white, flickering figures rushing to cut him off.
Eńǔmӑ . і̆ḋ
Behind, slower but stronger Small Treants and Giant Treants were pressing forward.
“Do I need to unleash Fiend Form?” Gauss quickly thought through the situation as he assessed the encirclement.
In Fiend Form, his speed could be pushed to an even greater extreme.
For a short time, he could definitely create distance.

But after that... once he could not shake them off during Fiend Form—
They would quickly catch up again.
E n̊ ŭ ṁа̊. і̊d̀
At that point, when Fiend Form had drained most of his energy, he would not even have the strength to resist.
It would be nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst.
Yet without drinking this “poison,” he was about to be surrounded.
Just as Gauss was about to trigger Fiend Form—
The next moment, a soothing intent rose within him, coming from the Giant Egg inside his body.
Though it was not words, Gauss instantly understood its meaning.

“You have a way?”
“Then hurry up.”
Gauss’s legs carried him swiftly. Already ahead, he saw a dark shadow sprouting from the ground, its thorn-wrapped “arms” reaching to seize him.
“Buzz!!!”
The next moment—
A wave of white energy burst out from within Gauss.
Е̊ n u m а̀ .іd̃
The shockwave spread outward rapidly, sweeping through every monster around him.
In an instant—

All the monsters froze, as if someone had pressed a pause button. Their bodies halted, bowing low to the ground.
Looking closely, one could see their frames trembling slightly.
An invisible will had descended over the land.
Gauss dared not waste time. Taking advantage of the gap, he bolted.
Ѐ nümа̊
In a blink, he had already run far.
A few breaths later, the monsters were nowhere in sight behind him.
Not until he had gone a long distance did the roars rise again.
But this time, hidden in those cries, Gauss faintly heard tones of helplessness and sorrow, like believers abandoned by their god—or like young beasts forsaken by their master.

The monsters did not continue the pursuit. They just stood there in a daze.
Much later, the Small Treants began frantically smashing everything around them, like powerless rage venting grief.

Trees crashed down under their pounding, dust flying high.
Some unlucky Converts were caught in the frenzy, swatted away like ragdolls!
Some Small Treants even turned on each other.
The once silent Black Forest fell into disorder, violence, and chaos.
......
Gauss did not dare stop.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Only after fleeing past the Black Forest and confirming there were no pursuers did he collapse to the ground, gasping for breath.
Lucky... lucky! That egg seemed to still hold some control over the monsters it had once nourished.
Otherwise, he could not imagine how he would have escaped alive.
He began shoving food into his mouth.
The drain on his stamina left him unbearably hungry.
He devoured strip after strip of dried meat.
Weḃ ṅ ŏv е l̇ Е̂ ǹūm å
Yet even after so much, his hunger did not abate.
He frowned, sensing the changes within his body.

Moments later, his brows arched upward.
“No way! This egg is still eating my magical energy.”
“You little thief!”
He realized that despite having eaten enough food to restore his body, the hunger remained.
E_nū ma
The culprit was the egg—the new “magical thief” inside him.
It gulped down his magic power relentlessly, forcing his body to activate the Energy Storage Gland, burning through food to rapidly convert it into magical energy.
Still, remembering how the egg had not abandoned him in his time of peril, Gauss sighed.
“Forget it.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“If you’re hungry, eat then.”
After all, he had plenty of magic and recovered quickly.
Е̄ n̈ u m̊ а̌
Let it be compensation for what it spent earlier.
Once Gauss noticed, the egg no longer bothered hiding.
It openly conveyed its thoughts.
The intent came out in jumbled tones, but the meaning translated roughly as follows:
“Hungry!”
“So hungry!”

“I’m really hungry!”
To Gauss’s senses, it felt like a child crying to be fed.
“Eat then, eat then. Do you think I’d starve you?”
Gauss continued to stuff dried meat into his mouth.
“So hungry, so hungry...”
“Don’t rush. I’m eating too, aren’t I?”

But as he chewed...
He suddenly felt something was off...
