In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

This tree is a monster.

"Huh?" Aga was stunned.

"Take me out to see the world, okay?"—this thought was conveyed from the branches.

That's roughly the idea, but the expression seems to be more rudimentary.

Feeling the magic emanating from the tree, Aga felt a chill run down his spine.

"I...I promise you!"

Aga hurriedly said.

Then he sensed that the giant tree in front of him was shrinking, or rather, growing in reverse.

After shrinking to a certain size, it wrapped around Aga's wrist.

It's just like an ordinary bracelet.

Although the tree is a magical beast, it is not as ferocious or voracious as other magical beasts.

It is just a tree.

A tree that... longs to see more sunlight.

Therefore, they would not hesitate to abandon the spiritual veins upon which they depend for survival.

Chapter 523 A Gift from the Trees

“This…” Aga looked at his wrist, confused.

The giant tree, hundreds of meters tall, reversed its growth in just one minute, wrapping its roots, trunk, and branches around Aga's wrist like a finely crafted wooden wristband. It left only a huge pit where it originally grew, and what was remarkable was that at the bottom of the pit, a massive flow of magic power, seemingly liquid, was flowing.

Aga reached out his left hand and touched the wristband. It wasn't rough; instead, it had a stone-like feel to it.

Consciousness returned from Aga's wrist; it was... the tree's consciousness.

Aga felt somewhat exhausted.

Consciousness remained the same as before, simple and dull, only weaker.

Take me to see the ground.

I've had enough of this dark place where there's no sunshine and no rain.

I'd rather die than not enjoy sunshine and rain even once.

Aga is a very intelligent person.

"What exactly did you go through to transform from a simple tree into a magical beast...?" Aga was a very emotional person, and at only nine years old, he was very innocent.

Looking up at his surroundings, Aga said seriously, "Wait here, I'll take you out now!"

In no time, Aga nimbly climbed up the rock wall and headed towards the natural passage formed by the cave where he had just arrived.

Simple and sincere emotions are the most likely to touch people's hearts.

Aga spent a lot of money to escape from the cave, ignoring the torrential rain outside, and plunged into the forest.

If you're wondering where the sun shines the best, it's definitely at the beach!

And the rain is nice right now, so the sun will definitely come out soon!

Aga raised his wrist high.

The magic tree felt the abundant rain and grew from Aga's wrist, sprouting branches and leaves, fully enjoying the coolness it had never felt in thousands of years.

It takes thousands of years for it to reach the size that trees outside can achieve in a few decades. Even though its growing environment is full of magic, and this magic can forcibly infect a tree that has no intelligence and no possibility of being transformed into a magical beast into a magical tree, it still only has such a short size due to the lack of sunlight and water.

But now—

Aga looked up at the magic tree that was both enjoying the rain and sheltering him from the wind and rain, and a smile appeared on his lips.

We've arrived at the beach!

The beach is full of jagged rocks, unlike the soft, fine sandy beaches that surround Doris Island, where Ocean is located.

The moment Agah arrived at the beach, the wind and waves were calm.

The thick clouds dissipated, and brilliant sunlight broke through the obstruction to shine on the earth.

"As expected, I'm a lucky man!" Aga wiped his nose, revealing a matter-of-fact smile, and looked up, saying, "See that! That's sunlight!"

"The sunshine you've been waiting for!"

The tree is growing.

joy.

These are the emotions that Agah can sense.

Besides joy... there is gratitude.

The trees broke free from Agah's hands and took root on the shore.

Looking at the demon tree that had regained its enormous size, Aga felt the heartfelt joy and became happy as well.

"Hehe, how is it? Is it the sunshine you imagined?" Aga rubbed his nose and looked at the big tree.

Ah... warmer and more vibrant than anything I've ever felt.

This is the sunshine, the sunshine I've been searching for.

Let me give you this small gift, boy who brought me out of the darkness.

The branches of the demon tree wrapped around Aga's wrist once again.

An item exactly the same as the previous wristband appeared on Agah's wrist.

Aga looked at the Demon Tree.

This is... a part of me, a part that will soon lose its vitality.

Although it has lost its vitality, it will stay with you forever.

You can decide its appearance, and it will accompany you wherever you go.

I used the only time in my life I had the ability to relocate the root system.

I am no longer able to detach myself from the ground.

I will stand here forever.

This is my gift.

This is your kindness to me, and our friendship.

"Is that so..." Aga stroked the wristband and pursed his lips.

“If I could decide its shape, I would hope... it would be a ship.” Aga’s smile held a hint of bitterness.

"If I had owned a boat during that tsunami...would my father and mother have survived...?"

The wooden wristband seemed to sense Aga's feelings and emitted a soft green light.

"Huh?" Aga subconsciously loosened his grip on his arm.

A beam of green light shot from Aga's wrist toward the sea.

hum-

A large ship, seemingly formed from many intertwined roots, suddenly appeared on the water.

"Whoa—" Aga was startled.

But then his eyes lit up.

Can it be taken back?

Such a thought came to Agah's mind.

Sensing Aga's intentions, the ship swayed, quickly shrank, and transformed into a green streak of light, returning to Aga's wrist.

"Thank you, big tree!" Aga excitedly hugged the magic tree.

"I have to tell my older sister this good news!" Aga immediately thought of the person to share her joy with and rushed home.

......

Lemoni had just eaten something and was now sleeping, trying to suppress his urge to vomit by sleeping.

Luslan looked at the younger brother who had joined the team halfway through and sneered: Naive.

If losing consciousness could truly stop the urge to vomit, then the girl lying there wouldn't be vomiting every now and then.

Ah, speaking of which...

"Oshin, wait a minute, Jimia needs to eat something." Luslan really didn't have anything left to vomit, and after spending so much time on the raft with Oshin, he had gotten a little used to it.

"Oh! Indeed!" Ou Shen controlled the ocean current to slowly slow it down. If the current stopped abruptly without slowing down, the other three people besides Ou Shen would probably be thrown out.

"The food is almost gone." Ruslan rummaged through the package, looking a little troubled.

Ou Shen smiled confidently: "Watch me get you something easy to digest to eat!"

As he spoke, Ou Shen dived into the sea.

Lemoni's brow unfurrowed, and he felt a sense of peace.

A short while later, Ou Shen came aboard, carrying several fish, which he threw onto the raft.

"...This stuff is easy to digest?" Luslan looked at Oshin as if he were dumbfounded.

“At least it’s easier to digest than dried meat,” Ou Shen shrugged innocently.

He patted Lemony on the shoulder and said, "Hey, man, get up and eat."

Lemoni opened his eyes with a look of utter despair, gazing listlessly at the sky.

"My Lady Athena, why did I agree to Oceanus's offer to travel together?"
