Five tree demons instantly appeared while shooting out large amounts of bright red flowers at everyone!
Each flower petal had more attack power than an arrow at full speed. They were so dense that it was impossible to avoid. Thankfully, Seiji cast his [Turtle Armor] barrier in time to protect everyone.
“This is out of my control! Four of them appeared on their own!” Kazuko swiftly informed Seiji. “I can sense that there’s something different about the four that appeared on their own.”
“What’s different about them?”
“I don’t know, I just have such a feeling.”
“How did they get here?”
“I don’t know that, either.”
Alright then, so there was an unexpected situation. Still, this was within overall expectations.
After all, during the four previous times that Seiji went to train in the Domain, unexpected problems had popped up three out of four times. In summary, based on his limited past experience, the odds of something unexpected happening were at 75%…
Seiji had already warned everyone during the strategy conference, so they were all mentally prepared.
The tree demons bombarded everyone with flower petals in a vicious barrage.
“Retreat!” Seiji shielded his allies and had everyone swiftly retreat.
The tree demons chased after them by moving with their tentacle-like roots.
However, the tree demons were relatively slow-moving. Seiji’s group soon put some distance between them.
“These spiritual monsters have the weakness of needing one minute of recovery time to create more petals after they’re finished shooting,” Seiji explained to everyone. “We need to kill them in that one minute of reloading time…”
If they moved too far away, the tree demons would stop shooting, which was why they needed to stay within a certain distance to lure the tree demons’ attacks.
The bright red petals they shot would pass right through the Sakura samurai demons without harming them. As Seiji’s group retreated, they still had to constantly deal with attacking Sakura samurais.
At this moment, something abnormal appeared.
A seemingly perfectly ordinary Sakura samurai dropped a small dark red object after it was defeated and transformed into experience mist.
“What’s this?” Yukari grabbed the object with a spiderweb strand and brought it to her hand.
This object was about the size of her finger. It was cool to the touch, and had a smooth surface like a round stone. Black and red intersecting runes could be seen flashing upon the object.
When Yukari looked at this object, she felt a mysterious urge to eat it as if she was a little kid who saw a delicious candy.
Yet, this was obviously no candy, nor was Yukari a young child. She immediately restrained this strange urge, and reported it to Seiji while showing him the object.
Seiji took the mysterious object.
At this moment, his system suddenly gave him a notification, with words appearing before him.
[You have received an Inner World Crystal for the first time. You have now activated the Spirit House Crystal exchange function. You may use Crystals to open the door to your Spirit House, construct rooms, or exchange for furniture.]
Seiji instantly widened his eyes in surprise upon seeing this!
This object… this “Inner World Crystal” had the same function as his system’s points!?
He immediately wanted to open his system and check out more details, but this obviously wasn’t the time.
He still didn’t know what exactly this crystal was, but it was obviously something good and an important resource! This was something that his dating sim system actually wanted, and it could be used in place of points to exchange for the Spirit House’s special items!!
“This is an Inner World Crystal, something quite useful…” He explained to Yukari and the others that if they saw any spiritual monsters dropping such an object, they should grab these objects. Of course, he reminded them to pay attention to personal safety first.
Everyone agreed to do so.
“Kazuko, do you know why this appeared?” Seiji asked the rather unreliable master of this Domain.
“I don’t know… but I can sense that the four additional tree demons have a similar aura to this item,” Kazuko replied.
“A similar aura… does that mean that they’ll drop this item if I defeat them?”
The extra four tree demons were bosses that would drop loot!? Seiji’s eyes instantly lit up.
After training in this dungeon-like Inner World Domain for so long, he finally met spiritual monsters that would drop loot. This was so… wonderful!!
He really wanted to stay calm, but was unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
He was truly short on points these days, primarily because of everything he needed to purchase and upgrade for his Spirit House. But now, he learned that there was a new resource he could use with the same function as points. Of course he would be excited!
As long as he could obtain these crystals, he would be willing to kill four vicious demon level monsters, not to mention these tree demons were only evil demons!!
Dating sim system: “Be thankful for the new function that I gave you.”
Seiji: “I suppose I should thank you indeed!”
While imagining the abovementioned conversation in his mind, Seiji started radiating a powerful battle aura. He looked directly at the four extra tree demons that he found so annoying earlier. He now felt like they were four walking treasure chests!
If the tree demons had human senses, they would surely feel a chill right now.
But, unfortunately for them, they had no such senses, and they also lacked intelligence. The tree demons only kept shooting their flower petals, using up all their “ammunition”.
Mika and the others noticed that a few of the Sakura samurais were dropping similar crystals upon defeat. As Seiji requested, everyone started picking the crystals up.
The tree demons then used up all their flower petals and stopped moving. Their bodies began to glow red as they swiftly regrew more bright red flowers.
“Everyone, attack!” Seiji took this opportunity to have his whole group attack.
The knight order members were all well prepared, and simultaneously attacked their prearranged targets!
Mika and Hisashi. Yukari and Idelia (Mayuzumi). Hoshi and Kaho. These three small squads each attacked one tree demon. Kaede stalled a fourth tree demon, while Seiji dealt with the final one.
Seiji started off with numerous fireballs, then used his [Evolved Demon Suppression Bell] to crush it. He then immediately went to support Kaede.
After he and Kaede killed the second tree demon, the other three squads all successfully defeated their targets as well.
Hisashi stunned the tree demon with his thunder magic. Mika used her Dimension Shattering Jade spell to kill it quite easily.
Yukari used spiderweb, and Idelia used ice to combo and crowd control the tree monster. The two girls then used their ultimate skills in unison to destroy it.
Hoshi shot many sharp elven arrows into the tree demon’s body, riddling it with many holes. Kaho then had her insects enter the tree demon’s body and destroy it from inside.
All five boss monsters were destroyed in their one minute of weakness.
Four of these tree demons dropped large dark red crystals the size of a fist! These crystals were far larger than the tiny finger-sized crystals that the Sakura samurai dropped. Apart from the larger size, these crystals also glowed brighter.
Four large crystals, and Mika and the others had gathered seven smaller crystals… Seiji wanted to try using the crystals immediately, but he felt that it was too much of a waste to stop fighting right now. Perhaps he would gain even more if he kept fighting.
And so, he collected all the crystals from everyone and put them in his pockets before continuing to fight by everyone’s side.
The second wave’s boss monsters were “General” level Sakura samurais.
Compared to the normal samurai monsters, these General-ranked monsters wore black armor and rode red demonic horses. They appeared quite mighty and imposing.
When these Generals appeared, thousands of regular Sakura samurai appeared with them, forming military formations, reaching the “army” level!
This scene astonished Seiji and the others.
Although everyone had seen war scenes in movies before, personally seeing such a scene was something else entirely.
Not to mention, this “army” had been created out of the countless white cherry blossoms falling like snow. It was quite an impressive visual effect.
“Everyone, this is war!” Seiji’s blood boiled as he lifted his sword and shouted in chuunibyou fashion.
Before he even finished speaking, a black arrow storm shot right in everyone’s direction!
Seiji activated his barrier and blocked the arrows.
“There are thousands of enemies here, while there are only nine of us. But, this is no reason to retreat, because we’re much stronger than they are!”
Seiji lifted his sword which glimmered brightly.
“Knights, charge after me!!!”
Right after he said this, Seiji’s tall figure rushed first into the enemy formation. He really appeared like a warrior daring to challenge an army that was thousands strong, as if he was completely unstoppable.
