The urgency behind his words caused them to immediately turn their heads left and right, searching for the seeds of evil. As their scrutinizing gaze swept across their surroundings, they realized that an uncountable number of shadowy creatures were wriggling inside of the small holes made in the walls of the passageway leading to the chambers of the silhouette of the tree they just saw.

The holes were so small that if one doesn't look carefully enough, they won't even realize it.

Moreover, each hole was cramped with several if not dozens of seeds of evil, each waiting for a living being to enter the range of their attack.

The presence of the danger in front of them caused them to come to a halt as they didn't know what to do.

"Ugh, this is creepy!" Leilani couldn't stand to bear the scene of shadowy creatures squirming and faced away from it in disgust.

She then took a few steps to the side and stood an inch away from her boyfriend.

"Brother, how did you find out about them? Do you have a sixth sense?" John poked questions at him.

Vincent smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. I have a sixth sense, and I have been using it for a while."

John said it as a joke, but he and Leilani were surprised to hear that he really possesses a sixth sense that allows him to perceive danger.

The name of his sixth sense was Energy Sense.

In the wilderness and places inhabited by creatures such as monsters and beasts, a person can't lower their guard for even a moment, or in the next second, they will end up with their head separated from their body.

Vincent knew this well as he and Leilani had stood face to face with death many times, so he had been guarding against unknown danger ever since he stepped inside the lair of the Tree of Evil.

Furthermore, because things could get dangerous and even life-threatening, he had commanded Blood to use the energy sense spell matrix, although it costs experience points to utilize.

The activation of energy sense had generated an invisible energy field that expanded from his body, sweeping across the passageway and reaching into the chambers where laid the Tree of Evil instantly.

At the same time, the three-dimensional map of the entire Lair of Evil was projected into his mind, letting him even see the tiniest of movement made by the danger hidden in the unnoticeable holes in the walls.

The seeds of evil were projected as tiny black dots, and the Tree of Evil was projected as a massive globe of squirming darkness in the holographic screen floating in front of his eyes.

At the same time, as he heard his words, Varth looked at Vincent with a gaze of deep interest.

Unlike others, he was able to tell that Vincent hasn't exactly undergone awakening, and the abilities he has shown so far were related to his traits.

He has different abilities, and most of them could be categorized as magic techniques and combat techniques. Still, the way he materialized ruby out of thin air and sixth sense could only be classified as traits of his race.

Varth wondered what Vincent's race is.

After all, it wasn't common to meet a person with so many traits.

"It's as you expected." Feeling his gaze on his back, Vincent turned to look at him and said, "This cave is indeed the lair of the Tree of Evil. The silhouette of the tree we see at the end of the cave is undoubtedly the Tree of Evil."

He knew!

Varth was aware of the demonic presence of the Tree of Evil since a while ago, as his eye covered by a black patch was able to perceive the negative energy present in the cave and feel matching similarities with the Tree of Evil he slew in the past.

He also accurately determined the strength of the seeds of evil as his throbbing left eye perceived the amount of their negative energy without his consent.

'The damn thing is acting up again,' he thought as the throbbing got faster.

At the same time, as he said those words, the twin's eyes burned with the determination to do their best. The Tree of Evil was right in front of them. It couldn't escape either as it has taken root in this place. They could easily engage it in a battle to the death. The result will be determined by the hard work they put in the battle.

Varth shook his head before he turned to look at them, and he said, "The seeds of evil nesting in the passageway are still in their early phase but strong enough to prove harmful to us if they invade our body. Everyone keep your guards up and be prepared to release your sure-kill attacks if the seeds of evil launch towards you. With that said, let's move."

They couldn't attack the walls as the shattering of the wall might cause the cave to collapse!

"Wait! I will go ahead, and you three support me."

While saying those words, Vincent stepped forward to bait the seeds of evil out of their nest.

He was aware of his ability and believed that out of all of them, he had the highest chance to evade attacks thrown his ways as his body impressively flexible.

The seeds of evil were waiting for an ignorant person to enter the range of their attack.

A moment later, once Vincent entered the range of their attacks, several shadowy creatures suddenly shot out from within the walls, aiming for his head, hearts, and nape.

The three points of a humans' body from where the seeds of evil could instantly take root inside a person's body and control them to do their biddings.

The moment they saw the seeds of evil taking the bait, they unleashed their attacks on them.

Vincent swung his daggers while twisting his body back and forth, evading the piercing attacks of the seeds of evil and chopping them in half.

Right away, an automatic notification rang in his ears.

‹ You've slain, seeds of evil ×5 ›

‹ You've gained 50 experience points ›

Vincent's eyes widened. From this notification, he found out that although the seeds of evil were beings formed from negative energy, they still have life force within them, and killing them will activate the life spell matrix and gain his experience points.

His daggers swung again, killing five at the same time. At the same time, a system notification once again rang in his ears, notifying him that he has earned fifty experience points once again.

"This place is the best farming area!"

The seeds of evil were small and weak. So weak that Vincent was able to kill five of them in a single swing. Yet, each of them was worth ten experience points.

There were a few hundreds of them here, and killing them will earn him a thousand if not a few thousand experiences point the very thought got him so excited that he increased the speed of his attack to take down as many as he can.

They felt the vibration in the ground beneath their feet rumbled as more seeds of evil started to roll out from their burrow.

"Let's clean them out in a hurry."

Leilani swung her hands, releasing a crescent ray of ice at them. It was so sharp that dozens of seeds of evil dropped to the ground, their bodies chopped in two.

A lot of them jumped at Vincent at the same time, and he found himself attacked from all sides.

"I got your back."

John hurled his dagger as if he was playing darts. The blade didn't stop before piecing several seeds of evil approaching Vincent to death.

At the same time, as he saw that Vincent was in a sticky situation, Varth pulled his demon trigger without worrying about the cost of money as the treasure obtained from the tree of evil will earn him enough to up for the loss.

Besides, Vincent was far more important to him than mere glorified scraps of paper.

Sometime later, another group of seeds of evil dropped to the ground with their bodies vanishing without a trace in a few moments, and it just so happened to be the last one.

"The passageway is clear of the seeds of evil! We have done it!" Vincent exclaimed in happiness.

He was happy for two different reasons.

First off, they have cleared the entire cave from the seeds of evil.

Secondly, he had earned a lot of experience points.

‹ You've slain, seeds of evil ×83 ›

‹ You've gained 830 experience points ›

‹ XP: 1380 /1400 ›

He was only twenty experience points away from reaching the next level, but as luck would have it, not a single free source of experience points was left alive in this place.

Nevertheless, he wasn't far away from acquiring the last bit of experience points as the defenseless Tree of Evil was right in front of them.

"Let's go."

The group of four stepped forward and walked through the passageway for a few moments before they entered the chambers of the Tree of Evil!

It was a spacious area ten times bigger than the passageway they took to come here.

In the middle of this immense area, there was a massive dark tree glowing in a golden color.

They immediately looked at it, and a single glance was enough to tell them that this was the Tree of Evil. Its dozens of tendrils were wrapped around hundreds of humans, now skeleton sucking negative energy off of them even after their death.

"This creature's atrocities are beyond heinous." Vincent's grip on his daggers tightened as he glared at the Tree of Evil with eyes brimming with murderous intent.
