Chapter 1131 And The Final Veredict Is...
-----
After Erika showcased her invention, even the other craftsmen and blacksmith had to admit she was very talented. Well, they did the same with BlackEye, these two newbies ended being capable of competing with the old timers at the end, and they felt rather happy about it.
"Looks like the future of blacksmiths is in good hands," Erdragon smiled.
"Yeah, not bad," Horshen nodded.
"Talk for yourself, I AM the future!" said Goldanaba. "I ain't as old as you two..."
"Hahah..." Melisa giggled silently.
As Erika brought the rake back to the judges, like it happened before a few times, the rulers decided to give her an offer.
"We would like you to help us make more of these," said the King.
"Of course, we will pay you for it," the Queen said. "Do you think you could replicate them into other shapes too?"
"For sure!" Erika nodded.
"Very well then, let's talk after the competition is done," the Queen petted her head. "Now then, Planta's team, it's finally your turn. Show us what you've made."
Everything became awfully silent, even the audience was looking forward to it.
Planta has surprised everyone time and time again with her creations, or well, the creations of her entire team.
This time, they made something that the genius mind of Ambil had envisioned, his latest fantastical creation, one that could only be made with the help of two powerful Druids like Planta and Titan.
And it was...
"Huh? A tiny plant?"
The King muttered these words as he watched in disbelief at Planta's team creation.
It was a small plant, resembling a very young tree.
But it was made entirely out of a golden-brown metal, with leaves made of green crystals.
They had kept it mostly hidden, covered by a veil.
But once showed, it seemed...
A bit weird?
"This is a bit strange, so what does it do?" wondered the Queen. "I hope it is not purely decorative..."
"Well, this is Ambil's invention," said Planta. "But no, it's not that! It is like a pocket forest, a divine spirit, and also a weapon, protector... a guardian."
"Guardian?" wondered the Queen.
"Right now, it is at its starting level," said Ambil. "But once it grows enough by absorbing mana and spirit energy, it will continuously grow and become a gigantic mechanical tree, fusing both plant matter with spirit metal alloy. I call it... Neo Yggdrasil."
"What?! Such an ambitious name...!" the King said. "You're saying you made a mechanical Yggdrasil tree?!"
"That's right!" laughed Ambil. "Now, let us show you their many abilities. First, we have to start with its beginning stages and support abilities, let's imbue Mana into it, as much as possible."
Until...
They fought back!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The monsters were immediately impaled through their bodies by these metallic branches and roots, sharp as spears themselves.
As if that wasn't enough, the emerald crystalline leaves fired beams of green light, piercing their bodies with large holes and explosions of golden flames.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At this point, it was quite clear that this Neo Yggdrasil was amazing, but as the trio kept giving it Mana, it continued growing larger, and larger, and larger.
And its effects were also boosted by its size!
The King and the Queen then finally realized the true potential of the Neo Yggdrasil Artifact, and also its truest purpose.
"As you can see, this was designed to protect countries," Ambil smiled. "Hence why I would call them... "Guardians"! Right?"
Ambil had completely convinced everyone his creation was incredible.
As the audience watched silently and in awe, and as everything was happening at the same time, someone started walking downstairs towards the arena.
Following them there were several other people. At first, nobody really paid attention, but once they got in the way of their view, some complained.
"Hey, who are you freaks?! Get off the stage, we can't watch-"
"Silence, trash."
A man with long blonde hair and crimson eyes, wearing full black armor covered with demonic horns spoke, his sword swinging against the innocent man.
SLAAASH!
And then, an explosion of darkness and purple lightning erupted, shaking the entire Arena. The rulers, who were assessing Planta's creation, suddenly were alarmed, and so the rest of the participants.
BOOOM!
"W-What was that?!" Melisa panicked.
Smoke covered a section of the Arena, as Planta's eyes widened in shock.
The smoke dissipated to reveal the dismembered bodies of a few innocent bystanders.
And a blonde man sheathing his black sword.
"What...?! I couldn't sense their presences at all!"
And before she could do anything else, a dozen people wearing black armor suddenly jumped towards them, led by a woman.
"Kill them all! Melisa is mine though!"
And a black whip reached Melisa.
CLASH!
