A Mysterious Barrier

-----

Fausto's blazing cleaving attacks resulted to be much deadlier than I had originally imagined, with just a few explosive strikes, the plants combusted and exploded. And not even the A Rank Treants could resist too many blows before dying. Perhaps another dungeon would have been much harder, but when we can abuse elemental weaknesses as basic as fire over plants, things get exceedingly easier.

Four hundred more monsters went down just as they showed up, my Level now rising by seven, making me level 17 by now. Killing monsters myself gave me much more experience, as I imagined.

It didn't take long before we reached the outer layer of the center of the last garden. The path behind us was left burned. I had stored as many monster corpses as I could, but even then there were still many left behind, although I made sure to at least store the spirit orbs without missing one.
