Above the dilapidated earth, a mature woman with shoulder-length emerald green hair was looking speechlessly at the golden-haired little loli opposite her. That tilted little head and confused expression were really messing with Toraynee. She had clearly said her own name, but the other girl was asking her why she knew it.
"Hey, hey! Big sister, tell Loina, why do you know Loina's name?"
Opposite her, seeing Toraynee remain silent, Loina gently flapped her dragon wings and flew to Toraynee's side. Her little head approached Toraynee, and her big eyes blinked as she looked at her. Her cute and innocent appearance was simply the epitome of adorable.
But in reality, if you looked closely, you would find that the magic essence was constantly gathering in Loina's little hands hidden behind her back, and a layer of high-density, substantial magic essence covered her sharp dragon claws.
"Big sister, why don't you talk to Loina? Does big sister not like Loina?"
Looking at the unmoving Toraynee in front of her, a trace of grievance appeared on Loina's porcelain doll-like face, and tears welled up in her big eyes. At this moment, Loina's claws hidden behind her back directly stabbed towards Toraynee in front of her, the sharp claws easily slicing through the air and piercing through Toraynee's chest.
"Eh? Did big sister discover it?"
Looking at her claws piercing through Toraynee's chest, a trace of disappointment appeared on Loina's tearful and aggrieved little face. She gently exerted force with her claws and directly tore Toraynee in half. In mid-air, Toraynee's body turned into light spots and began to disappear.
When Loina approached Toraynee just now, how could Toraynee, who had already been tricked once by Loina's innocent and cute appearance, relax again? After directly creating a clone, her main body had already quietly left.
"Loina, why did you attack me? I already said that we are not enemies?"
At this time, Toraynee walked out from within a tree trunk below and looked at Loina above, saying. Even now, she still hadn't figured out why Loina would attack her without a word. In addition, Loina was hiding her own aura, which led to Toraynee not knowing that the existence she had been looking for was actually right in front of her.
"But I don't know you, big sister. How would I know if you are an enemy? And..."
Above, Loina tilted her little head and looked at Toraynee below, saying with a cute expression. As for the last sentence about her harming a sub-body, Loina didn't say it, because her master had told her that Limuru and the others couldn't discover this matter yet.
To give them a big surprise later, so in order to give Limuru and the others a surprise as her master said, Loina wouldn't say this matter.
"I am the manager of the Jura Forest, the Dryad Toraynee. I am..."
On the ground, Toraynee looked at Loina's innocent appearance. Toraynee, who had been secretly observing Limuru and the others, also knew that even though Loina had the strength of a Demon Lord Seed, her mind was still completely that of a child. Therefore, she secretly sighed and showed a gentle and friendly smile, introducing herself again.
However, just as she said halfway, Loina above rushed down towards her again without a word. Even this time, Loina's two arms directly turned into sharp whips. In mid-air, Loina opened her small mouth and with a 'hey-ho' sound, her two arms directly turned into whips and smashed towards Toraynee.
"... It seems I can only defeat you first."
Looking at the approaching whips, Toraynee sighed and raised her hands, emerald green light shining. Instantly, the huge tree behind Toraynee began to grow rapidly, and the huge tree trunk directly blocked Loina's attack.
Crack!
In the next second, the huge tree trunk was directly shattered by the whips, and broken wood chips flew everywhere. The two flesh whips covered with bone spurs continued to smash downwards with undiminished power. With a boom, two cracks one meter wide and several meters deep appeared on the ground.
"Huh, ran away?"
Looking at the empty ground below, Loina pouted her little mouth and muttered before vigorously swinging her arms, and the arms that had turned into whips began to shrink rapidly, turning back into two cute and fair little hands.
"Song of the Forest - Entanglement."
Just as Loina was tilting her little head and looking around for the disappeared Toraynee, Toraynee's voice suddenly came from below. Immediately afterwards, the nearby plants began to grow wildly, and countless vines flew towards Loina like long snakes. In the blink of an eye, before Loina could react, she had already been trapped into a rice dumpling by countless vines, with only her little head exposed.
"Now can you listen to me properly?"
In mid-air, Toraynee's figure appeared in front of Loina, looking at Loina, who only had a little head exposed and was still struggling non-stop, Toraynee looked at her and asked softly. Opposite Toraynee, Loina was struggling non-stop, but unfortunately, even her little face was flushed red from trying too hard, she still couldn't break free.
No matter how she destroyed the vines trapping her, every time Loina destroyed a vine, three more would immediately grow out, completely restricting her.
"Don't waste your energy. Unless you have the power to destroy this cage in one go, you have no possibility of breaking free."
Looking at Loina, who was staring at her with wide eyes and still struggling constantly, Toraynee smiled slightly and said. These vines were connected to all the nearby plants, and a large amount of vitality and magic essence were supplied at all times. With Loina's strength, who had just reached the Demon Lord Seed level, there was no possibility of forcibly breaking through.
"Now can you tell me why you attacked me?"
"I won't, Loina won't tell you!"
Saying that, Loina raised her little head and glared fiercely at Toraynee, but in reality, it was because the little girl, who had grown up in the laboratory as a test subject since she was a child, didn't know how to lie at all. But she couldn't possibly tell Toraynee the real reason she attacked her.
"What a pain!"
Looking at Loina, who was stubbornly staring at her, even Toraynee felt a little tired, but thinking that Loina was still a child, Toraynee had no way to force her to ask questions. After all, she didn't want to become an enemy with Limuru and the others, and children's thoughts were sometimes unfathomable. Even if Toraynee tried to guess, she wouldn't be able to.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, just as Toraynee was still thinking about what method to use to ask why Loina attacked her, a strange sound came from her ear. Subconsciously, Toraynee turned her head and saw a slender flesh tentacle flying past her side.
"Damn it, I was discovered. What a pity!"
On the side, Loina looked at Toraynee, who had dodged her another sneak attack, with a pout. The flesh all over her body began to wriggle constantly, turning into a pool of flesh-colored, blood-like substance, directly escaping from the cage that trapped her. Then, in Toraynee's shocked gaze, that viscous blood turned into Loina's appearance again.
"How did you do that?"
A few seconds later, Toraynee, who had regained her senses, looked at Loina with a solemn expression and asked. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Loina's ability was very similar to that strange, unkillable monster from before. Therefore, Toraynee had to find out about this matter.
"Hmph, hmph! Of course it's because Loina is a genius! I won't tell you that Loina used her unique skill [Flesh Controller] to temporarily transform her bones into a substance similar to flesh and blood, and then controlled them to successfully run out."
Opposite her, Loina put her hands on her hips and raised her little head high, looking at Toraynee with an expression that said, 'This loli is a genius'. She said she wouldn't tell Toraynee, but in reality, she said everything in the next second.
On the side, looking at Loina in this state, the solemn expression on Toraynee's face began to become strange, and then she sighed, feeling that she was a little alarmed. After all, how could Loina, this simple and cute little idiot, be the existence she was looking for?
"Hey, hey! Big sister, why are you looking at me with an idiot's look? Loina is angry!"
Looking at Toraynee opposite her with a sighing and shaking her head, especially that look was the same as when other people usually looked at Gobuta, Loina immediately raised her little hand and rushed towards Toraynee angrily. At the moment when the little hand was waved out, the arm began to expand and change rapidly, and two half-person-sized flesh warhammers full of spikes heavily smashed towards Toraynee.
Boom!
The huge flesh warhammer heavily smashed into the air, and the air was visibly compressed into substance. Then, two huge craters appeared on the ground below, but Loina didn't care about this. The flesh warhammer that had changed from her arm wriggled again, instantly turning into two thick and long tentacles, with a chrysanthemum-shaped mouth opening at the tip.
Then, Loina tightened her little face and swung her arms, smashing the tentacles towards Loina, who had appeared on the other side. The mouths at the tips of the two tentacles opened, directly aiming at Loina to bite down.
"Blessing of the Forest!"
Looking at the two giant mouths close at hand, Toraynee put her hands together and a dazzling emerald green light shone. Instantly, the entire forest seemed to come alive, and countless branches attacked Loina. Around Toraynee, an emerald green magic shield perfectly wrapped her.
Ka-ka!
In the next second, two chrysanthemum-shaped giant mouths tore and bit on the magic shield, and the powerful bite force even made the air tremble, but the magic shield under the giant mouths remained motionless, without even a trace of ripples.
"Flesh Thorns!"
Suddenly, a pungent smell of blood filled the entire sky. When Toraynee raised her head, she realized that Loina had already been knocked down by countless trees. On the ground, Loina directly slammed her hands on the ground, and instantly countless flesh thorns continuously pierced upwards from the depths of the ground.
In just a few seconds, the entire forest had completely turned into a jungle composed of flesh thorns, and those flesh trees were still growing continuously. At this time, Toraynee was completely sealed off.
