I suppressed the weirdness in the shelter

Chapter 59 Poisoning
This evil creature was born after absorbing the pollution from the Dragon Bone Mountains and being nurtured by a polluted mother tree.

This is a flying dragon with only a skeleton, but because its skeleton is made entirely of trees, it can still grow after being separated from its mother body, and at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, it became two or three times larger than its original size.

Every roar of the evil creature exuded a strong pollution, and even the limbs that had been turned into pieces responded to the pollution.

The evil creature spread its wings, and everyone thought it was going to take off, but they all ignored the fact that these wings, which were no different from skeletons, had no chance of flying.

The forked wings grow rapidly at the same time, automatically chasing after the enemy, similar to Dorothy's attack method.

However, the vitality of this evil creature was even stronger. The branches split almost every meter they grew, and their number quickly increased.

There is nowhere to hide, and every branch is greedily absorbing the life force. The target hit by it will soon be sucked into a mummy. The branches are so hungry that they even absorb the life force in the soil.

If this evil creature is left alone, no grass will grow wherever it goes, and it will suck away all life force.

And every bit of vitality that is taken away will eventually become nourishment for the evil creature's continuous growth.

On the wooden frame of the evil creature, dancing buds have already grown, and these buds are like muscle tissue and are about to attach to the frame.

Once these buds take shape, the evil creature will enter the next stage.

This monster is really too powerful. It is completely different from ordinary monsters. If it were an ordinary monster, Winterhold Fortress would still be able to fight.

The evil creature in front of us is definitely not simple, and Winterhold Fortress cannot stop it.

Did the Nativity Society sacrifice the only remaining Son of God, or did the Tree Planter Apostle send out his own followers?

Or maybe both?
Duke Raymond guessed so. The plan to rely on holy water bullets to prevent the birth of the evil creature failed, and the Winter Fortress was in danger.

But we can't give up now.

The strongest thing about Winterhold Fortress is not its walls, but the belief in victory of every Winterhold warrior.

"Build a defense line to intercept the evil creatures! Have the defenders in Winterhold bring out their alchemical weapons and prepare for battle!"

If the evil creature approaches Winterhold Fortress now, then Winterhold Fortress will definitely be breached. Even if the alchemical weapons are ready, they will not be able to hold out for long.

Now perhaps we can only count on reinforcements from the kingdom.

Duke Raymond picked up the only remaining holy water bullet. Maybe it was just a drop in the bucket, but it could at least cause some damage to the evil creature.

Just as Duke Raymond was about to throw the holy water bomb, suddenly another wave of pollution descended upon the battlefield.

Everyone felt as if their heart was being firmly grasped by a big hand, making breathing extremely difficult and painful.

Duke Raymond turned his head to look at the direction where the ominous aura came from, and saw a tall woman in a thick long cotton coat walking towards him.

"Hetty?"

Hetty was still as relaxed as ever. She was calmer than anyone else in the face of pollution, as if this kind of thing was common to her.

Duke Raymond knew very well that Hetty was also a fallen person, but he did not know what was special about Hetty, so after seeing the current scene, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

After the evil creature found Hetty, it immediately leaned over to her.
It opened its juicy mouth and stared down at Hetty, as if a human was looking down at its meal.

Hetty raised her head and chuckled as usual, as if the evil creature in front of her was no different from an ordinary cat or dog.

But Hetty knew very well that she was the food that the other party was craving for.

Unfortunately, this evil creature could never swallow Hetty because its owner was more thirsty than it was.

The evil creature moved closer to Hetty uncontrollably and opened its mouth wide.

It is hesitating, and therefore moving slowly.

Eventually, its master punished it for its transgression.

The polluted mother tree, which was weakened due to the completion of its gestation, suddenly reacted. Its roots pulled out from the bottom, and the entire mother tree climbed onto the back of the evil creature like a crab's leg.

The mother tree overwhelmed the evil creature, and a vertical crack appeared on the trunk of the mother tree. As the crack opened, half of a man's body appeared. The naked man was connected to the trunk from the waist, and there was wet juice hanging on his body. He seemed to have been parasitic in it for some time.

He is the real-life Bruno Finn.

Bruno opened his eyes, saw Hetty, and smiled.

Before Wyatt, Hetty was the food Bruno had always craved.

As delicious as Wyatt was, Bruno just couldn't resist Hetty.

This is not a situation where you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you can have it all, why bother?

"It's a pleasant surprise that you actually came to see me."

“Let’s finish it soon…”

"End? No, no, no, it can't end. The current situation of the Wasteland Territory was caused by her. The pollution came from her. After her death, the pollution came from you. Do you think it will end after you die? Impossible!"

"You hoped that Wyatt could cut off this contamination, but he failed. Now he has become a part of me. How ridiculous that you pinned your hopes on that man."

"He is just a newborn baby. What can he do? He can only be my nourishment and help me grow stronger."

"Now you are going to follow in his footsteps."

Hetty closed her eyes resignedly and waited for her own ending.

Bruno was right, the only thing he could end was his own life.

Hetty spent her entire life trying to find a way to expel the Wasteland Territory's evil forces, but now that she is dead, she can at least bring some peace to the Wasteland Territory for a while.

Hetty used to be food, but now it’s different.

During the days of wandering with her students, she had been accumulating "holiness". Combined with the amount that her mother had been accumulating, Hetty now had a considerable amount of "holiness" hidden in her body.

The supernatural and the evil were fighting and repelling each other inside her body, which made Hetty very painful, but she endured it.

So, she became poison.

She came to poison.

Bruno controlled the vines, wrapped around Hetty's limbs, and dragged her into the tree trunk little by little.

Digestion and absorption.

Hetty felt that everything around her was cold and dark. She could not feel anything, and all her senses seemed to be cut off.

A "holy" white light poured out from Hedy's chest. The poison was successful and Bruno would fall into a deep sleep for at least twenty years.

My mother's decades of accumulation, plus my own years of bone-gnawing pain, can only exchange for twenty years of peace?
It’s so unfair, just like this rotten world.

Tears welled up in the corners of Hedy's eyes. Only in the darkness where no one was around could she let go of her effortless disguise and reveal her most vulnerable side.

The leakage of white light escalated further, and eventually illuminated the entire world and dispelled all darkness.

Hetty felt herself fall to the ground. She stood up confusedly and opened her eyes.

This is an extremely white world, monotonous to the extreme. The only difference is the scene before one's eyes.

A round table, three chairs, exquisite desserts, and steaming drinks.

On the left, there is a man made up of scribbled lines.

On the right is a woman dressed in all white and a long skirt.

Right in the middle is the strange director who wears a grey windbreaker and loves desserts.
