As Noah's party kept devastating everything while slowly approaching the immense castle several kilometers away, their group spread far and wide and fought any monsters that came in front of them with utmost ferocity.
However, after killing hundreds of monsters, a Hidden Boss was triggered, the Accursed Tree King.
Referring to the entity that inhabits the castle as his "Lord" he acted like a loyal subordinate, proud of his own strength and showcasing utmost power, managing to overpower Adamantine after a few hits!
Angered by how she ravaged his kin, he intended to end her with a series of whip attacks using his special ability, Soul Fire Whip, which was able to deal direct damage into a foe's soul!
