Chapter 9: Mysterious Armor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
…
What was going on? The magic power that he had just used did not cause any harm to them. This child had flown so far away, but was completely unharmed?
Although the golden holy light just now was just a magic power that Heimdall casually cast, who was he? His magic power was unfathomable. He was one of the twelve Celestial Gods, and his magic power was enough to reach the heavens and move the earth.
Everyone in the magical world knew his name.
Yes, he had only shown mercy to the child for fun, so he only used 20% of his magic power.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be taught a lesson. Why did it feel like he was the one being taught a lesson?
After suffering such a blow, he should have been severely injured and should have been forced to retreat.
“Yeah?”
Suddenly, Heimdall frowned tightly.
It was because he discovered that Groot’s appearance had suddenly changed. His originally emerald-green body had turned dark green.
Not only that, his originally resounding branches all disappeared.
Heimdall reached out a giant hand to grab Groot and see what was happening.
However, after he grabbed him, Groot slipped away like a loach and escaped easily.
Heimdall’s eyes were occasionally shining with golden light, full of surprise.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was something else on his body.
That was… an armor?
Now Heimdall could see clearly that the reason Groot could withstand his attack was because of the armor.
Heimdall looked up and asked, “Is this armor you are wearing refined from the branches of the Ancient Treant?”
“You brat, you’re actually thinking of taking my treasures?”
Groot howled loudly, but his heart was beating rapidly as the sense of unease grew stronger.
What happened just now? When did this person attack? I didn’t react at all.
Could it be that he had met a tough opponent?
If he hadn’t used the skills he had learned from Principal Flanders’ magic books to make the armor, his life would have been in danger.
Groot really had to thank “Power of Green”, the magic book that he had seen in the library for being able to stand here, talk and breathe now.
The armor on his body was obtained from that magic book.
Not only did it possess extremely powerful defensive abilities, but it could also become more and more durable as Groot grew stronger.
However, how did he recognize that this was refined from the branches of the Ancient Treant? Even he who had successfully refined it did not know.
On the other side, the guardian god Heimdall was completely shocked.
It was because he was certain that this was an armor refined from the ancient tree’s branches.
But how was that possible?
The Ancient Treant had completely disappeared during the great battle back then.
All the branches on his body had also transformed into life force, nurturing all living beings.
How could this be? It was refined into armor.
This Groot, did he get a part of the Ancient Treants’ branches?
However, even with the materials of the Ancient Treant, the magical manual for refining this armor had long been lost. How did this Little Treant get it?
At first, Heimdall thought that it was an armor that he had obtained unintentionally. He could not believe that it was refined by him, but even if he understood it as obtained by chance, it was still incredible.
He could only imagine that Groot really was no ordinary person.
It was no wonder that the God Realm had designated him as the person to pass the holy flame to.
Thinking of this, Heimdall’s eyes gradually showed appreciation.
Meanwhile, Groot did not stop attacking at all. He gripped the green magic sword in his hand, and his expression was becoming more and more amazed.
He used all his strength, but he still couldn’t break the magic shield of this uninvited guest.
However, Groot’s unyielding spirit made Heimdall, who had just started admiring him a little, gradually turn back to having an ashen expression.
This child was really too rash.
As Groot worked harder and harder, clouds gathered above the Treant’s river of life, causing heaven and earth to tremble violently.
Hurricanes were gathering within hundreds of kilometers.
Large amounts of trees rose from the ground, the result of the magic power waves between the two of them.
All of the creatures crawled, trembling.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was like a thunderclap, shaking and reverberating throughout the world.
Heimdall remained unmoved. He stood in the air and looked coldly at Groot, allowing him to attack.
‘Dingling –’
On the other side, Groot did not hold back at all.
He gathered all his strength and waved the magic sword in his hand, smashing it at Heimdall again.
But for Groot, the more he fought, the more he felt that something was wrong.
How could he still be uninjured? Did he offend some big shot?
“You little brat, what are you looking at?”
Groot yelled and began to blabber nonsense.
Even Heimdall, who had a heart as still as water and an extremely good Qi Cultivation, could not help but feel helpless at this time.
Just when Heimdall could not hold it in anymore and was about to take action to suppress Groot.
“I don’t want to fight any more.”
Groot suddenly stopped and quickly retreated. Now, he was certain that this young man before him had unfathomable strength. Perhaps he was a big shot from some world, or even from the God Realm.
“Whoosh”
Golden holy light rippled and scattered down.
Heimdall slowly revealed his true form.
He wore a golden crown on his head, and a golden halo floated behind him.
Groot looked at Heimdall and blinked. Suddenly, he laughed awkwardly.
“Hahahaha!”
“So it’s the guardian god.”
“I was wondering who it was. No wonder I couldn’t hurt a single hair.”
“To be fair, we Treant have always been extremely respectful towards the God Realm, especially towards the kind and wise Lord Heimdall.”
“But it’s such a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect to meet the you here. I really didn’t recognise you!”
Groot was continuously praising Heimdall. With a flattering face, he was about to rush up and massage Heimdall’s legs and shoulders.
His attitude was completely different from before.
And Heimdall was still expressionless. His whole body shook and he directly knocked Groot down from the air.
That nearly took Groot’s breath away.
“I came here to discuss something with you,” Heimdall said.
If not for the fact that this matter concerned the prosperity of the God Realm and the fact that this child did not know the truth and was fighting him to protect his territory, he would have made a move long ago.
F*ck! How could such a reckless kid take on such a great responsibility?
