The Conquerors Path

Chapter 387 387-Traitors!

Third Person POV:

An hour has passed since the beginning of the hunt and since then the forest hasnʼt been normal at all, it was as if the whole forest had gained life as everything that could start to go wrong went wrong. Without the others knowing a power had swooped in, taking control of the entire forest and, in turn, taking control of their lives.

”I need everything I can get from you”

Sabrina said in a cold tone as she gazed at the group of people completely confined due to her powers, the greed for killing burned high within the plant life as it started to devour and kill, being affected by the desires within Sabrina.

”Why?”

A hoarse voice asked as, the group currently trapped belonged to the same one that Austin had pointed towards, they were the ones that Sabrina aimed for at the beginning. Thanks to their talk she had already placed a tracker within them and now being in a forest there is nowhere they could hide from her.

”Why donʼt you tell me why?”

She said as her real face started to appear, just as it did the eyes of all the captured turned wide.

”Impossible...”

The whisper left the mouth of a demon that seems to be the leader of the group, his red eyes widening.

”I have my own ways to get what I need”

As she said a teeth-filled plant emerged from the ground and swallowed up one of the people, the screams echoing through the forest. The others could only watch in horror as the plant devoured their companion.

Sabrina cackled with glee as she watched the plant feed. She was a powerful knowledge seeker, who had always been fascinated with the power of plants. She had spent the majority of her time studying and experimenting with different plant species, her bloodline makes her extremely close to nature, while her experiments allowed her to seek out and create several new plants, one the world has no idea about.

”Anybody willing to talk now?”

She asked with a small grin on her face, this time all of their faces changed to one of the horrors though that too quickly changed to one of indifference.

”You got us good, princess”

The leader spoke, his eyes already losing their life, with their hidden strength they could have taken care of Sabrina but due to their own mistake they ended up letting her close to them and got trapped by the plant but now it has already sucked in all of their mana, making them useless, all that awaited is death.

”Long live chaos!”

All of them gathered and shouted and under Sabrinaʼs eyes, they exploded, turning into blood waves. Seeing this she clicked her tongue, her heart feeling quite sour, even with all her precautions they still somehow ended up killing themselves.

ʼIs it an innate powerbomb? looks like I need to look into this matter more heavily once I returnʼ

Having forged her thoughts through and feeling quite good at having them killed after making her go through all those pain, Sabrina moved towards her next objective.

Winning the bet.....

ʼI will make you suffer a bitʼ

She planned as a beautiful tiara appeared above her head, the whole structure being silver and brown in color with a blue gem attached to the middle, the gem shinning in a mix of blue and green light, if Austin was to see this he would have easily understood the reason for her arrogance and confidence in this match.

The reason is that the crown on her head is the one and only supreme treasure of the elves, the Breath Of Forest. Belonging to the first ruler of the Elves that lead them to battle and created their sanctuary and world for the future generations, a treasure that grants her complete dominion over the forest and all those that live within it, a treasure that she didnʼt choose but one that chose her.

The match was rigged from the start.......

ʼI canʼt feel his presence....ʼ

Sabrina thought with a frown, this itself was a red flag in her mind, she had no idea about Austinʼs ability and she wasnʼt going to jump into this like an idiot.

ʼLets first gather all the weakʼ

Thinking so her focus covered the entire forest, easily seeing through everybody moving through the forest with some fighting each other, some making groups while betrayal had already started, this time it wasnʼt just a game but a death match, one where either you lose the band or you die trying.

”Swallow them”𝐟𝙧e𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃n𝒐ѵ𝘦𝒍.co𝙢

Sabrina commented, causing several veins to rise from the ground towards unsuspecting students entangling them, the secretions from the vine making them unconscious while taking their bands away from them, since none of the were enemies Sabrina wasnʼt going for the kill, her plants would take them out and keep them out cold as long as she desires.

Soon the entire forest came to life, and slumbering plants of great origin broke out from their cocoon as they began their assault, the better ones quickly reacted as they began their fight yet it was useless as the entire forest was against them, the other elves, ones with great affinity to the forest could only watch wide eyes as the first moved to take them down too.

Nowhere was safe, and no power was useful, many growing tired used their greatest fire-based attack to only get beaten up even harder, no fire was capable of harming them and no one was safe, the cry of battles spread across the lands, the entire land only had forest no beasts existed, the students were being taken down one by one, yet Sabrina couldnʼt smile at it.

Not when she canʼt feel Austinʼs location!

ʼIs it a treasure? or some unknown power?ʼ

Sabrina used her ability to the best, trying everything within her power to get even an inkling of where Austin is but no matter how much she tried she could tell where Austin was, this kept increasing her anxiousness, knowing not when the worst would happen, especially for someone who is used to having everything within her fingertips.

While Sabrina kept her 100% focus, Austin looked at her with a smile while sitting atop a tree close to her, something that would shock the hell out of Sabrina, the tree that Austin was sitting on was waving around while the leaves massaged him in a calm manner.,

Which powerful Tree of life shall rat out the Prince of life?

His ʼmotherʼ is Orpheus along with Yggdrasil that also considers him as her son, no tree, or plant or any such life form shall go against him, the tiara is powerful alright as it was made from the branch of the world tree but how could it compare to the son of the world tree itself?

ʼYup keep collecting points for me, my little collectorʼ

Austin laughed as he took a bite of the apple given to him by the tree. Sabrina the poor victim kept searching for Austin not knowing that her greatest strength had long since betrayed her, joining the enemy camp in a heartbeat.
