Buzz!

  The formation above the alchemical armor buzzed, and I increased the power of the crown; as I did, huge pure energy seeped into the alchemical armor covering me.

  Soon, the whole alchemical armor shone in the pure white light.

  If someone looked at me, they would see me built like a tank and have a while ceramic armor covering me fully.

  This is an alchemical armor I had to spend outside three hours to make; it has a simple function, and that is to amplify the power of the crown. I was not sure the crown would be enough to take the trees, so applying several layers of strings around me, I applied alchemical for extra protection.

  This is a one-use alchemic armor, and it cost me a fortune, but if I am able to take the tree safely, there would be no regret in my mind about the cost of this armor.

  Step Step Step

  After double-checking everything, I began to move my huge feet toward the tree divided into two parts. With each step, I feel greater and greater energy of the death and metal element and increase the power of the crown according to it.

  In just ten steps, the energy doubled, and ten steps later, it tripled and quadrupled after another five steps.

  For the first time since I have gotten the crystal crown, I fear that I might end up using all the power of the crown. I hope that will not happen, and for it, I am moving as fast as I can; the quicker I reach the tree, the more energy I will save.

  Soon, I have covered half the distance, and I am moving without stopping.

  If anyone were to look at me from a distance, they would see that I resemble the torch which is moving toward the dense cloud of black and copper. With each of my steps, the light around me with brighten, but others would see it dimming up.

  Even though the death and metal energies are not specifically targeting me. Thank god for that; if they had, I would have even survived a single step inside this underground.

  Still, despite that, I am feeling unprecedented pressure from these energies that taking each step would take considerable effort.

  An hour passed, and I have finally reached the tree; the pressure here was so great that it would be made anyone faint, and I am only hanging here through the sheer will and the blinding power of the crown above my head.

  Every cell of my body wanted me to drawback, but I stayed; not only that, I was moving my hands toward the metal part of half tree, and the dark dents began to appear on my appear on my armor.

  I feel like my hand is moving through the tides of death energies; even if the tides are not targeting me, they are clashing against me in full force.

  I am in extreme danger right now; the slightest tear and these energies would tear through me. It won't take even a moment before these death energies consume me.

  I wanted to escape, but I crushed that thought over and over before my huge hands finally reached the tree gripping its trunk, and just as I did, my eyes went wide in horror, and I opened the gates of the crown.

  My alchemical armor took the limit of while energies that the crown could take. I could feel how rapidly the power of the crown was expanding. At the speed I am consuming the energies of the crown, it won't take more than a minute before I expend all its energies of it.

  "Ahhhhhhh!"

  So, I screamed loudly and pulled with all my strength of three boosts, and seeing the resistance, I did not hesitate even burn my blood.

  DHUDHLE DHUDHLE DHUDHLE

  The power of the blood burning increased my strength tremendously, and I finally began to pull out of the fifteen-meter-long tree.

  The death energy assaulted me from all sides, and even though, even though it did leak inside me. I felt its effects. It took all my willpower and soul to protect formation to barely survive.

  I was using every bit of power I had, but even with all the strength, I could not pull it all in one fell swoop but it was coming up, and it won't take long before I pulled it completely out of the ground.

  DHUD!

  I don't know how long it took me, but finally, the last roots came out with huge blocks of earth. Seeing that, I directly deposited the tree into my core, where the huge box already helped open my avatar, and the tree directly appeared in the huge box.

  Thud!

  The lid of the huge box fell with a thud, trapping the extremely powerful aura within the box.

  As the half death tree disappeared, I moved my hands toward the metal tree at lightning speed. I have spent 70% of the power of the crown on the death tree, and now I have to lift up the tree with 27%, as I will need at least 3% to survive this place, as the energies would not disappear with the trees.

  As my hands moved toward the metal trees, I felt like they were being attacked by a storm of knives, and it was all thanks to blinding crowns' power that they were not able to tear through my armor and cut me into a million pieces.

  Thud Thud!

  It took a fraction of a second for my huge hands to reach the tree, and I gripped it hard before starting to pull them up.

  RUSTLE!

  I had just begun pulling out the tree with all my strength when suddenly, I heard a loud rustle in my mind and immediately felt the effect of the metal aura lessening considerably.

  A completely new aura appeared around me, embracing me. This aura is also metallic in nature, but it is more like protective armor than a sharp knight.

  The metallic essence tree had finally appeared to help me, and thank god it did. The remaining power of the crown would not have been enough to last till I pull out the tree completely.
