[I don't know who you are, but since you're willing to collect my remains, I'm very grateful. Next is what I promised you!]
[Actually, dealing with these mutated spores is very simple. You only need to open a spatial portal and send the spores into it. That's all. Simple, right?]
[Of course...]
[The prerequisite is that you must be a spatial mage.]
[Back then, we spent a lot of time coming up with this solution. Unfortunately, none of us were spatial mages, so all we could do was watch as the mutated spores crashed into the Desert Tree and reduced its health to zero.]
[The fourth form spores are truly ridiculous. Not only can they split, but they can also grow larger.]
[Can you imagine it?]
[The entire world covered by red balloons. By the final stage of evolution, those balloons were practically pressed against one another, as dense and terrifying as cells in a human body.]
[You're probably wondering how I survived, right?]
[When I realized there was nothing I could do, I prepared enough water and took a hollow bamboo tube. Then I buried myself in the sand. I stayed buried alive for three days and endured it that way.]
[After three days, when I returned to the surface, all my comrades were dead, and the spores had mysteriously disappeared.]
[But what surprised me was...]
[The Desert Tree, which had already been blown to pieces, had somehow returned to its original state, without a single trace of damage.]
[From that moment on, I began to suspect that this world was nothing more than a giant game. After all, in a real place, a tree can't be refreshed after being blown up, can it?]
[Because of that, I realized there was something special about this tree, so I tried to find a way to make use of it. That turned out to be the tree sap. But who could have expected...]
[The sap both made me and ruined me. In the end, I became a walking corpse, so I hope you don't repeat my mistake.]
[That's all. I don't have anything else to say...]
Richard's message ended there.
After Ethan finished reading it, the diary suddenly turned to ashes and crumbled away.
It seemed, the diary existed only to complete one final task.
Once Ethan had opened it, that task was finished, and the diary disappeared along with it.
However...
Richard's message was still very useful.
Because one part of it immediately gave Ethan an idea.
That's right, a spatial portal could send these strange spores away.
Although he couldn't open a giant portal, if he could make the spores line up and enter one by one, that would work too.
As for...
How to make the spores line up.
That was easy.
Just think of a whirlpool in water.
A massive whirlpool in the ocean could easily drag an enormous cruise ship down into the depths.
Compared to that, these spores were nothing.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ethan immediately fired three Wind Arrows one after another.
At the same time, he shouted instructions to Bird One and the others.
"Help me shoot arrows too!"
"Just use Wind Arrows. Hurry!"
"Yes, Lord."
Bird Two and Bird Three couldn't understand what Ethan was trying to do.
Those tornadoes seemed completely ineffective against the spores.
So why was the Lord still doing this?
Bird Three directly asked, "Lord, those tornadoes don't seem to do anything to the spores. Stop wasting precious time that could be used to escape."
"We'll stay behind and cover your retreat, Lord. Hurry and leave!"
"That's right, Lord!"
"Please let us serve you one last time!"
