The most dangerous Hunter often appears in the form of prey; among those of the same rank, few can resist her charm.

Ring, ring, ring...

Her slender waist swayed, hips gracefully moving, the sound of silver bells ringing, like an enticing Serpent Woman. Just moments ago, the transformed Oak, filled with murderous intent towards the group, suddenly halted.

Rigel stared directly at the closest human face to her, asking in a slightly hoarse yet magnetic feline voice:

"Relax, we are not enemies. Tell me who killed you, and where did it go?"

Fascination had already filled that wooden face, the initial fury completely vanished, and even a hint of pink appeared in the dull eyes.

With just a slight struggle, it confessed to her everything:

"Nature itself killed us!

It is angry; it wants to annihilate all who threaten Nature. It hasn’t left; it’s still here, it’s coming, it’s coming...

Beware of its arrows!"

Before he could fully explain, a shadow not belonging to the Bruh’s team appeared in the reflection of the wooden eyes.

In the dim forest tens of meters away from them, light and shadow flickered for a moment, revealing a figure they had unconsciously ignored all along.

It was a bizarre half-human, half-deer creature; its upper body was that of a nude, athletic human female, with antlers far larger than those of the Golden Deer, while the lower body was that of a doe.

In its hand was a longbow still bearing tender leaves, accompanied by a green aura of nature at its feet.

The aura was pure, primitive, and vibrant, yet filled with unreasonable savagery.

The Tower Sequence Naturalist in the group read the name of the opponent: "Bizarre Nature’s Wrath.

The rule is to indiscriminately kill those who intrude and harm nature in the forest, habitually turning humans into forest nutrients.

The standard is any man-made object, clothing included.

Probably only the streaking" Heavenly Body Faction" can escape unscathed."

No wonder the slain worker said the killer was Nature itself; it must be one of the most primitive Nature Spirits from the Mythological Era.

But they couldn’t recall such a being ever existing on Hightins’ land since the Silver Era began.

As soon as it revealed itself, it drew and fired an arrow aimed at [Fairy] Rigel at the forefront.

Although this [Serpent Woman] possessed numerous Black Sorcery and many Snake Shedding of [Beast Spirit Warriors], her combat prowess was formidable.

But with her husband Bruh, the Guardian Knight titled [Iron Wall], by her side, there was no need for her to do the heavy lifting herself.

Clang!

Bruh, who had long been on high alert, unleashed the full power of the [Sun Holy Sword] in his hand, erupting like a sun in the forest.

The ability of the [Sun Knight] evidently restrained the bizarre entity, cutting the incoming arrow in two mid-air with a single slash.

The arrowhead, which had transformed from an acorn, fell to the ground, but instantly took root and sprouted, growing into a towering tree, its roots waving to ensnare nearby people.

The others nearby dodged.

They finally understood how the factory under construction had ended up like this.

The oak tree had clearly turned all the workers and artisans into fertilizer.

While Bruh defended, [Phantom Blade] Gus, [Sword Saint] Herman, and others surged forth together.

Especially Marquis of Neville, gripping the Dictator’s Rod, charged ahead, roaring:

"The Industrial Revolution is the future of the Neville Family; you are courting death by meddling!"

Back then, his ancestor had been one of the main forces pressuring Byron’s eighth-generation ancestor, [King of the Displaced] John, to sign the "Magna Carta."

When the godlike Monarch Byron ascended, displaying the form of [Myriad Wings Angel], he immediately realized opposing the Royal Iron would end badly, and without hesitation, he kneeled slide with the Neutral Faction at the spot.

He voluntarily relinquished military power and the lands he had acquired through various means.

Seizing the remaining favor for supporting the new king, he quickly exchanged it for shares in a series of large companies, ensuring the new king would not let them suffer.

Marquis of Neville was acutely aware that although the [King of the Wild Hunt] valued family and seemed agreeable, if he dared to forgo dignity, the other side had ways to make him dignified.

With his kneeling, the 25-member committee overseeing the "Magna Carta" instantly vanished.

Byron’s Royal Iron faced no more constraints.

In return, he received Byron’s First Embrace, gaining longevity and becoming a member of Byron’s Demonic Banquet Council.

Marquis of Neville, highly reliant on Byron in politics, economics, and Mysticism, even married off his only daughter into the Lancaster Royal Family, becoming an unquestionable interest community with him. Naturally, he wouldn’t shy away when trouble arose.

A series of nimble hoofbeats sounded.

The bizarre sprinted through the forest, with trees automatically giving way as it passed, but fully obstructing pursuers.

Even so, with reinforcements arriving continuously, the surrounding nobles collectively mobilized to encircle [Nature’s Wrath].

Soon, the entire forest was heavily surrounded, and defeating it was just a matter of time.

"Open fire!"

Bolt-Action Rifles and Trench Brooms left the bizarre nowhere to hide, the encirclement tightening.

By now, Hightins’ official strength, organizational power, and centripetal force had long surpassed the past incomparably.
